A Few Fights (Continued)
"Sir, the higher-ups have agreed. We can communicate directly through dream divination."
"Good."
They all laughed.
Dreams are truly a magical ability, always having an inexplicable connection with divination. Nowadays, Transcendent, regardless of who performs the divination, will all possess some knowledge related to dreams.
Without the aid of extraordinary tools or special abilities, this is a realm that only Transcendent can master.
Once Dream Entry, the scene remained the same dark room they were in.
But a Black-Robed Man in a black robe wearing a top black hat and holding a cane was already standing there.
Despite his changed appearance, he is actually the same fortune teller who used special methods to slowly divinate the name of Dusk through the Remnant Fading Lamp Society.
Their abilities are very strong.
This time, he didn't waste any words and started the divination directly in his dream.
The process was a dream within a dream.
However, the difference is not significant. No matter how many layers of dreams there are, they are essentially just dreams.
After several divinations, the man opened his eyes, his face turning pale.
"It must be an old rival; I can't get any information from the divination."
"What? You can't get any information either?" the girl asked incredulously.
"Heh, I've encountered this kind of thing a lot lately, and it's basically related to that society called Dusk." He coughed, his face a little pale. "It's quite interesting that they actually found out our base in the academy. But... there are more than three of us here."
As he said this, his gaze fell on the team leader.
The other party nodded sensibly and stepped forward, saying, "I will take care of them while trying my best to remain hidden."
"Alright, don't underestimate the enemy. Although this force is relatively unknown, they have clashed with us several times and gained some advantage each time. If you continue to underestimate the enemy, I believe you won't fare well either."
"Understood."
"I'm giving this to you. I've left a bit of power in it, which allows people without any special abilities to use some divination techniques, and it's extremely difficult for them to detect."
The Diviner handed the leader a fine needle threaded with a single thread, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Use it in your dreams."
Everyone exited the dream.
At this moment, everyone opened their eyes, and the team leader stood up with a grim expression. "It's Dusk."
"Team leader, could you explain this more clearly?" asked the very strong boy next to him.
"One of my friends died at their hands."
Everyone fell silent.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. We are the great Queen of the Lamp Queen, and we will not be swayed by such a small matter."
As he spoke, he walked up to the two students who were clearly being misled and handed them a small white candle with a smile.
"Man is a lamp, and so is life; when the lamp burns out..."
"It is the day the Lamp Queen is revived." The two chanted fervently at the same time.
"Good, it seems you've remembered everything. Next, I need to pinpoint the target's location, and I'll need you to make your move."
On the square, Ye Qian, who was watching these guys from a distance, appeared very calm.
Although one cannot see the scenes in a dream, one can still read its memories through the Mystic Thread.
Naturally, she knew exactly what she dreamed about.
Of course, Ye Qian No. 2's own power God-Forbidden could also Dream Entry, but compared to that, Vier's ability was obviously more suitable.
However, she did not consider using her clone for the time being. Instead, she almost manipulated a few more students, turning them into temporary subordinates of Dusk, quickly arming them to level 5, and then equipping them with explosive rings.
"These aren't cannon fodder; I'm watching them closely."
Things are different now than in the past. When people are transported to another world, they no longer need to slowly Dream Entry.
The anchor point of the Dragon of End can pull others directly into the dream, thus instantly completing the feat of time travel.
Amia, the little loli dragon, is quite powerful.
Moreover, this guy remains as dependent on Ye Qian as ever.
"It wouldn't be good to give them no information at all, so let's just reveal a little bit of information about Dusk."
Those students who were drawn into the Dusk by themselves, if they didn't know they belonged to the Dusk, would have a very low chance of not being able to claim their spot with that broken prop the team leader had.
However, if they are informed and their impression is reinforced, it will be easy to be discovered.
Ye Qian did the same.
Half an hour later, while the academy sealed off the site of the previous explosion, the Fading Lamp Society also sent two members of its bewitched suicide squad to launch a surprise attack.
Ye Qian estimated that the students were still deeply poisoned.
They might not be called fanatics, but they're at least close.
If you were to use the Mystic Thread to sense it, you would find that their minds are completely Pollution.
To put it simply, it's hopeless.
"Try using Water of Purification? No, forget it."
There's no need to do something that might expose yourself.
This is a decisive battle centered around the academy, and these students are already part of the enemy.
After identifying their targets, the two attackers prepared to attack the two underperforming students from Class D.
As soon as they entered, before they knew anything, five Explosion Ring flew in from three directions.
Ye Qian... has three people lying in ambush here.
Boom--
As bait, the student sitting in the dormitory also entered combat mode at this time.
The battle immediately turned into a 4 vs. 2 situation.
Unfortunately, their side relied entirely on the explosive rings, and Ye Qian spared no expense, giving out a large number at once, resulting in explosive power that even Transcendent found difficult to withstand.
The two students from the Fading Lamp Society who attacked were questioning their existence. They were just a few kids from Class D, so how could their strength have increased so much, and how could they have so many magical items of unknown origin but so powerful and terrifying?
Although it's a consumable item, the Explosion Ring can still fetch a few Purple Crystal Coin.
The value of this thing lies in its ability to harm Transcendent.
Such reckless spending made them question the meaning of life.
After this fierce battle, one boy was temporarily teleported away by Ye Qian, while a girl was very unfortunate; she died when she was sent to another world.
Ye Qian quickly apologized in her heart. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't force you. We signed a fair contract. You saw the danger from the beginning. I'll erect a tombstone for you next time."
Her death brought a fatal blow to the enemy.
The attacker died in the explosion.
Such a large-scale battle caused the leader of the Fading Lamp Society to turn green with rage.
"Here we go again. Didn't we tell them to launch a sneak attack?"
He didn't know what the two bewitched students' subordinates had done; for this attack, he had even provided a cheap supernatural item.
Although it's cheap, it's still worth about one and a half Purple Crystal Coin, which would be worth sixty or seventy thousand in cash.
Not long after, his subordinate came running to report.
"Both of them are gone."
"Hmm?" The team leader looked at the other person.
"He died in battle."
The man and woman sitting next to him, the two most skilled disguised students in the society, exchanged a glance but said nothing.
The team leader gritted his teeth, lay down on the spot, and Dream Entry.
More than ten minutes later, he woke up, his expression becoming even colder than before.
"This divination revealed two locations related to Dusk. One is the place we previously attacked, and the other is the music classroom."
"You've found out another location? Hmph, I didn't expect this force to be so deeply rooted in this academy. Should we overestimate them?" The 25-year-old fake 'beautiful girl student' clicked her tongue, but still didn't take Dusk seriously.
The Fading Lamp Society has wiped out far too many similar small societies. Although many of them used some of their best skills, they all ended up dead.
"Send two more students... no, send eight students in total, to attack the two target strongholds separately."
The team leader believed in the divination results, and the information he obtained was 100% certain that the enemy was not strong, but the previous explosion still made them look grim.
These newly enticed students are not Transcendent; they have limited resistance to ordinary grenades and explosives.
However, he still resolutely sent out his troops.
This time, Ye Qian, who was well-prepared, first withdrew from the location that had been attacked earlier when the other side set off, and let the remaining two students take the initiative to intercept the target.
As for the other approach, the natural option is to plant Explosion Ring and wait for the prey to strike.
As usual, in this new battle, the Explosion Ring proved incredibly effective.
The opponents never dreamed that Ye Qian's tactics would be so simple and brutal.
The supernatural items I have aren't powerful enough, but I have a bunch of them! With their combined power, I'll blast you with sheer force.
After a brief exchange of fire, the squad that had been in the skirmish had two survivors who returned wounded and in pain.
The second squad was wiped out.
The team leader felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the two injured boys enter the room.
The one running in front immediately knelt down and slammed his head on the ground with a thud.
"My lord, we have failed to carry out the will of the Great Lamp Queen. Please punish us."
The other boy next to him was already in critical condition when he came in front of me. He was clutching his abdomen, and you could even see his intestines spilling out.
The team leader took a deep breath and said calmly, "You... continue to carry out the subsequent orders. You still have a chance to redeem yourself through meritorious service."
"Yes!" the boy exclaimed with delight.
There were still 6 misled students left at the scene, plus 4 members who had infiltrated the Fading Lamp Society.
The real powerhouses are naturally the four people behind them.
Of these four, the girl with the cloth strip and the other Transcendent boy are the strongest.
They didn't even have names in the Fading Lamp Society, only peripheral code names.
Numbers 14 and 15.
However, this is not the key point.
The key issue is that the team leader realized he couldn't see through the opponent's strength anymore.
He had just performed another divination and discovered that he had only wiped out one wave of enemies. And for some reason, the more divinations were performed in the academy, the more information about Dusk seemed to appear.
It seems that more of their hidden members have emerged.
"There's no reason for that. We've been lying low for so long, sneaking around, living in constant fear, and we've only managed to recruit about 20 members. Those guys... could they possibly have gotten there before us?"
The team leader was extremely troubled.
"We don't have much time left, sir." Girl No. 14 couldn't help but speak up. "There are stronger Transcendent in the academy. If they investigate us, they might break through the information Barrier the society has set up for us. No... even if they use some special superhuman tools, we can't hide."
"I know."
The team leader didn't seem to be in a hurry; he sat on the sofa, resting his chin on his hands.
A few seconds later, he lowered one hand and tapped the table. "One last attack. Regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, all core members must evacuate the academy."
"Give up on this place?" Number 15 was startled, but after a few seconds of stiffness, he came to terms with it.
There's no other way but to evacuate.
