"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing the change in Chen Lin's expression, Hua Ruyu asked, and he told her about the Nightmare Coin he had left behind.
After listening, Hua Ruyu knitted her delicate brows, then suddenly darted into the node.
Chen Lin raised his brows but did not stop her.
She was immensely powerful in the Nightmare Realm, so nothing should happen to her. After all, this was only an ordinary scenario, not a Silver Scenario.
Sure enough, Hua Ruyu flew back out of the node a short while later.
She immediately reported, "Master, there's nothing wrong with the room or the courtyard. I don't have a Level Two Road Guide, so I couldn't investigate outside the courtyard on my own."
Chen Lin hesitated, then decided to investigate after all.
This was the only Nightmare Realm Node he knew of in this realm, and the scenario seemed quite large. There might well be a node connecting to another plane somewhere within it. If danger arose in this plane, it could serve as an escape route.
As for not having enough Road Guides to take others out of the courtyard, that was no cause for concern either. When the time came, he could ask the cat Shirina for help. He was also searching for a yamen in the Nightmare Realm himself, hoping to find a way to upgrade his Road Guide.
"Come on, let's take a look inside."
With that, Chen Lin entered the node with Hua Ruyu.
Once he landed firmly, he first went to check the spot where he had left the Nightmare Coin. Sure enough, it was gone.
On closer inspection, he could see that not a single trace remained at the spot. Everything was covered in dust.
That meant the Nightmare Coin had been taken quite some time
