"Hey, is this really okay?"

Levi watched Xiaomianhua's live stream on the virtual screen with great interest and casually replied, "Ha, what's wrong with that?"

Lan Meng, holding the crystal ball retrieved from the sea, passed by quietly: "Is it really okay to leave them there unattended?"

Two months ago, Gu Li and He Shiyi went missing after a mission. After investigation, they discovered that a creature with dream-making abilities was lurking on the outskirts of District 11.

It can take people into their most desired dream, where the alien species absorbs the energy of the hunted and eventually turns them into wrecked remains.

When they arrived, the students who had been pulled into the dream were only in the first stage, and rescuing them was easy.

However, Gu Li and He Shiyi are still nowhere to be found.

Eric deduced that due to their own heavy pollution, they naturally entered a deeper level of dream, and there was a high probability that they were a couple.

The alien creature is now locked up in the Eleventh Army Building, but the two missing people have not yet been found.

That's exactly what Lanmeng asked.

“If we just leave them inside like this, I won’t take the blame for you when Boss He comes out.”

Lancer casually passed by and firmly stated his position: "That's what I think too. Why not just kill that thing and forcibly destroy the dream? What are Cecil and the others trying to do?"

Levi, who was openly slacking off during work hours, sighed and gave them a meaningful look.

"Children, you are too young to understand."

Lancer's pupils suddenly contracted, his fists clenched so tightly he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Hey, don't make me beat you up!"

Levi straightened up and leaned against the bar, poured himself a glass of orange juice (drinking alcohol is not allowed during work hours), and took a small sip: "You don't know, Boss He will definitely be grateful to us."

"As for Lili..."

Cecil suddenly appeared by the door and casually took Levi's orange juice: "As for Chestnut, she seemed to be having a lot of fun from the start."

Lan Meng narrowed his eyes, his gaze shifting between the two of them, and suddenly said, "You're hiding something from me."

Cecil's eyes darted around for a moment: "No...no."

Lancer appeared from behind her, carrying a brightly colored package: "I just went downstairs and picked up a package for you."

"Let me guess what this is?"

Cecil: !

The four stopped in front of the cell where the mutant was being held. It was a mutant that was square in shape, and the part covered by flesh and blood looked like a... television.

Lancer crouched down, pinching his chin as he observed the creature. As he approached, the alien shrank back.

"How dare you lay a hand on them when you're so cowardly?!"

Cecil held up a finger and wagged it: "You don't understand. These weak mutants, of course, have to resort to underhanded tactics before meeting a powerful enemy, otherwise they'll be completely finished once they meet, right?"

Lancer, Lanmon: That makes sense...

Cecil raised an eyebrow at them and punched the alien on the head: "Hey, let me see."

The alien creature trembled, and a scene suddenly appeared in the middle, showing Gu Li and He Shiyi traveling hand in hand.

After fifty years of settling in the alien city, He Shiyi, who had transformed from a volcano into an iceberg, actually smiled very nicely at Gu Li, and then the two of them entered the Ferris wheel together.

Lancer, Lanmon, Levi, Cecil: !

Lan Meng looked at Cecil speechlessly: "Why are you so surprised? I don't believe you haven't watched it before."

Cecil pointed a trembling finger at the screen: "But...aren't they...aren't they watching us?!"

The group glanced at the screen at the same time, coughed, and straightened up.

Lan Meng said with a serious expression, "I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished writing today's report. I'll be leaving now. Just pretend I was never here."

Lancer: "Hey, wait for me, let me copy the mission report."

Levi, who was finally being watched by Cecil, coughed lightly, stood up, and touched the tip of his nose with his finger: "Vivian is off work, I'll go pick her up."

Cecil's vision went black: "You bunch of spineless bastards!"

·

On the Ferris wheel, Gu Li thoughtfully withdrew his gaze.

"You felt it too, didn't you? I felt like there were several pairs of eyes watching me just now, and it felt familiar, Cecil?"

After saying that, Gu Li rubbed his temples: "Wait, who is Cecil?"

He Shiyi also withdrew his gaze, his light eyes falling on Gu Li. After a moment of confusion, he gradually regained his clarity.

"Hmm? They've all been taken back? Do I not need to stay with them anymore?"

The man sitting opposite me had his eyes lowered and his lips pursed almost imperceptibly: "Thank you, I'm much better now, I can control it."

Gu Li didn't have any objections, only asking one question before looking out the window: "This is the first time I've seen this city from this perspective."

"I didn't realize it when I lived here, but now it looks really old."

He Shiyi's gaze fell on her again: "You know that everything here is fake, right? When we leave, this place will disappear."

Gu Li glanced at him, puzzled as to why he was suddenly so serious.

She said, somewhat bewildered, "Of course I know. If I had all my memories, I probably wouldn't be dwelling on the past."

"I think I'm the kind of person who would work hard for the future...maybe."

He Shiyi's voice was cold and clear: "You are."

She smiled brightly: "Thank you for your kind words."
