Chapter Index

    Why is only hell safe?

    Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

    He didn’t see any surveillance cameras when he was in the nightmare world.

    Big Skeleton also thought of the same question and asked confusedly:

    “It’s really strange, I don’t understand why it’s only safe in hell!”

    “I don’t understand either,” Shen Ye said.

    “So what do we do now?” Big Skeleton asked.

    “Do you want to avenge your mother?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Yes! Not only do I want revenge, I also want to get back everything I lost!” Big Skeleton said.

    “Very good, then use this nightmare crystal. Once you master the skill, see if you can take me with you,” Shen Ye said.

    Big Skeleton emerged from the ring, extended its skeletal claw to grasp the crystal, and crushed it.

    A golden shimmering mist rose, enveloping it.

    The mist continuously poured into its body.

    Shen Ye waited idly by, when suddenly, the magic letter in his arms stirred.

    He unfolded the letter, and on it appeared Prince Norton’s handwriting:

    “My royal father has ordered me to return to the imperial capital immediately.”

    “After I leave, your investigation must continue. You must uncover the secrets of the Undead Empire!”

    “It will be too late otherwise!”

    “—I’ve placed the control key to the teleportation array in the potted plant in my room.”

    “The spell is ‘Norton’s Trust, decides everything’.”

    “No one will enter my room today, and I have instructed all the guards that you can come and go as you please, and they are not to obstruct you.”

    Shen Ye finished reading and couldn’t help but shake his head.

    That teleportation array was already known to the undead and had become a trap.

    He wouldn’t go there to die.

    “Ugh…”

    Big Skeleton let out a groan.

    “How is it? Have you mastered it?” Shen Ye asked.

    “One good news, one bad news,” Big Skeleton said.

    “Good news?”

    “I know how to go to hell.”

    “Bad news?”

    “We still have to go back to Evernight City. Some precious spellcasting materials are only available in Evernight City.”

    Shen Ye frowned.

    Too much trouble!

    Things in this nightmare world were always so complicated and wasted his time!

    “By the way, since we have money now, we can go to Evernight City to buy a few specific nightmare crystals.”

    Big Skeleton seemed to recall something and continued:

    “I have the true ancestral secret technique of the Undead race, which can upgrade your ‘Gloom Whisper’ by one rank.”

    “Really?” Shen Ye didn’t believe it.

    “Of course it’s real—you’ve been so loyal, always helping me, do you think I’m disloyal? I, Feilun, will definitely help you level up this skill!” Big Skeleton thumped its chest.

    Shen Ye’s brow relaxed.

    Great!

    Things in this nightmare world were always so moving, full of brotherhood and romantic adventures!

    “Shall we go?” Big Skeleton asked.

    “Let’s go back first, eat, rest, and shower, then come back at midnight,” Shen Ye said.

    “Alright.”

    Big Skeleton carefully put away the magic skin.

    “Is this still useful?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Life-saving—it can be used once,” Big Skeleton said mysteriously.

    The door opened.

    Shen Ye stepped back into the courtyard.

    It was already past 8 PM.

    There was a takeout meal on the table.

    Today’s meal was sweet and sour fish, dry-fried fatty intestines, stir-fried spinach, and tomato beef brisket hotpot.

    It smelled good.

    A note was pinned to the takeout:

    “At 8:30 PM tonight, the ‘Anomaly’ will temporarily withdraw. You can contact your family.”

    Checking the time, it was almost there.

    As soon as the surrounding sights ended, his phone and cards immediately received many messages.

    Shen Ye opened the takeout and ate while reading the messages.

    Xiao Mengyu messaged him asking what he planned to wear tomorrow.

    What the hell!

    Shen Ye thought for a while before he understood.

    —Tomorrow was the joint freshman welcoming party for the three schools!

    It was just a party, why care about what to wear?

    Boys don’t care about such things, alright.

    For example, Zhang Xiaoyi and Guo Yunye sent messages, asking him to play cards with them tonight.

    No time!

    Shen Ye yearned for such a high school boy’s life, but he really had no time tonight, so he had to refuse.

    His parents sent photos, which showed a sign at the entrance of the high school campus that read: “Heartfelt congratulations to Shen Ye from Class 5, Grade 9 of our school for being admitted to the world-renowned school: Dadi Xirang High School.”

    There were also two inflatable lions at the entrance.

    …This felt a bit like the festive atmosphere of weddings in rural areas in his previous life.

    His mother also sent an additional message: “Son, your grandpa personally called and asked us to go back for dinner. Your dad is still hesitating whether to go back or not.”

    His dad also privately sent a message: “Son, your grandpa personally called and asked us to go back for dinner. Your mom is still hesitating whether to go back or not.”

    You two are enough.

    It’s clearly your own hesitation, what’s the point of blaming others?

    The rest were countless endorsement and interview messages.

    Interestingly, the world’s largest dating website booked an exclusive feature for his 18th birthday coming-of-age ceremony.

    In that case, wouldn’t it be incredibly easy to make money if he wanted to?

    Shen Ye hesitated, then shook his head slightly.

    Time.

    Now, his most precious asset was time.

    Money could wait.

    The right thing to do was to focus on improving his strength!

    Ten minutes passed quickly.

    The “Anomaly” expanded again.

    This time, Shen Ye didn’t do anything else.

    He soaked in the hot spring for a while, set an alarm, and took a short nap.

    Suddenly, a sound echoed in the courtyard.

    “Who?”

    Shen Ye asked.

    “You,” a familiar voice replied.

    Shen Ye was stunned.

    It was his own voice!

    He rose abruptly and looked, only to see another him slowly walking through the courtyard.

    “Who are you!”

    Shen Ye shouted.

    The other him stopped and said, “Hello, Master. I am an Individual Combat Biochemechanical Clone from the Human Martial Arts Group. I have completed incubation and can be put into use.”

    Shen Ye was stunned.

    Ah—

    It seemed there was such a thing.

    He had left it somewhere and almost forgotten about it.

    But besides looking like him, this technological product had neither the “Night Roamer” profession of the Hun Tian Sect nor the Spirit Eye and Dharma Image. What could it do?

    “What can you do?”

    Shen Ye asked.

    “Good question,” the Individual Combat Biochemical Clone explained, “As everyone knows, the Dharma Realm is a special energy world isolated from the real world, so communication in the Dharma Realm becomes a big problem.”

    “And I possess a groundbreaking technology that has not yet been made public, but it can already solve this problem.”

    “So what exactly can you do?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Beep! Tune in to FM, welcome to today’s basketball commentary,” the Individual Biochemical Clone said.

    “…A radio?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Exactly, I can receive messages from the real world,” the Individual Biochemical Clone explained.

    “Any other functions?” Shen Ye asked.

    “Making calls.”

    “And?”

    “Downloading movies.”

    “…That’s nice, but I’ve been very busy lately, no time for movies.”

    “I can disguise myself.”

    The Individual Combat Biochemical Clone snapped its fingers, and a set of martial arts attire appeared on its body. It snapped its fingers again, and it changed into a black tuxedo.

    Shen Ye was a little confused.

    What could this guy be used for? To go to class for him?

    “I can also download various tactical attack packages, remotely call weapons, and conduct a small personal war,” the Individual Biochemical Clone said.

    “Let me see,” Shen Ye said.

    “Calling the Human Martial Arts Group’s heavy firepower depot, call successful, activating the Human Cannon, initiating long-range bombardment—”

    “Stop!” Shen Ye was startled.

    “Cease bombardment,” the Individual Biochemical Clone said.

    Seeming to feel that it had frightened its master, the Individual Biochemical Clone explained again, “My intelligence level has reached that of an average human. I can act on your behalf in various situations, and even fight for you.”

    “Sounds good. Alright, you rest first. I’ll call you when needed.”

    “Yes, Master.”

    Shen Ye waved his hand, opened the ring space, and put the Individual Biochemical Clone inside.

    Alright then.

    This thing was like a clone.

    In the future, when he went to the nightmare world, he could use this thing as a substitute to do things for him in the main world.

    Shen Ye got up, dried himself, yawned, and walked towards the bedroom.

    He was too tired today.

    He would sleep for a while, and at midnight, he would go to the nightmare world, buy all the spellcasting materials, and head to hell!
