Chapter 18

As soon as Lu Yan opened his eyes, he saw Lin Sinan standing in front of him with his gun pointed between his brows. Both of his eyes were extremely bloodshot.

The sky outside was bright and clear. The time was three in the afternoon.

Lu Yan was stunned. He obediently raised both his hands in an attempt to make himself look harmless, “Calm down. We have already woken up from the dream.”

Lin Sinan’s hand that was holding the gun trembled slightly, “Who are you?”

“Lu Yan.”

“Height?”

“181.4cm.”

“Birthday?”

“November 11.”

“What was your university major?”

“Clinical Medicine at the School of Medicine, Donglan University.”

Lin Sinan said through gritted teeth while breathing heavily, “You answered the same way last time. How am I supposed to believe you?”

Lu Yan knitted his brows, feeling slightly troubled. After thinking for a while, he asked, “….Looking for a Top?”

Lin Sinan replied flatly, “I like women.”

“The Enlightenment Forum. The person ranked 100^th was called this.” Lu Yan could see that his mental state was rather unstable so he spoke slowly, “The invitation code you sent me for the forum was AK134B9184.”

Lin Sinan took out his phone from his pocket and checked it. Everything matched.

His phone, which had been without signal for a long time, finally received a message at this moment. It informed him that an A-Grade Pollutant Dream Eater and an A -Grade Pollutant Wall of Resentment had appeared between K City and M City. The message was sent two days ago.

Lu Yan, “In the dream I was in earlier, you died at the beginning, but I was still receiving text messages from you. I don’t know what happened in yours but we have now truly left the dream. My guess is that the Dream Eater can see people’s memories. It naturally cannot tell you things that you don’t remember yourself.”

Lin Sinan finally lowered his gun. He collapsed in the seat, his body drenched in sweat. His voice was full of exhaustion, “I see…I spent many days in that dream. I dreamt that I received a mission to take you back to the headquarters but you got polluted and brought the parasitic disease to another city. Later, I woke up and you said that it was just a dream. The situation then repeated itself. Captain Tang even said that I wasted his ability to restart time….”

Lu Yan imagined it for a moment, “That’s indeed quite tragic.”

People like Lin Sinan liked to take all the blame. He believed that the parasitic fish infection in K City was caused by his own incompetence and had always felt guilty about it.

For Lin Sinan, for example, who came from a small county, his dream since he was a child was to settle down in a big city and have a place of his own. Although he had been allocated a house, he still wanted to earn more money, so the headquarters used performance bonuses to try and retain him. Even though Lu Yan had only just joined and was offered one hundred thousand a month, Lin Sinan’s current monthly salary was only twenty or thirty thousand.

It wasn’t that the headquarters were stingy.

If a person had no goals or hope, they would be like a kite with a broken string, unable to find its direction.

Hope was the carrot being held in front of a donkey’s eyes. Despite how tired it was, just the thought of the carrot that was awaiting it was enough motivation for it to take a few more steps.

Lu Yan looked around and didn’t see anyone else. He asked the system, “Where is Lu Jiahe?”

[He left.]

“Where did he go?”

[He naturally went to where he needs to be. The Wall of Resentment is different from ordinary pollution sources. Its purpose is to filter candidates. Lu Jiahe was the result of its filtering.]

[To be honest, with how unlucky he was, I didn’t think he would actually be given this opportunity, but perhaps the two koi fish scales plucked from your neck played a role and the Wall of Resentment chose him…Or rather, something chose him through the Wall of Resentment.]

[Perhaps the next time you see him, he would have completely lost all his memories; or perhaps you may never see him again.]

Lu Yan, “You seem to be talking about some new settings that I don’t quite understand.”

[That world is still too far for you, you don’t need to know too much about it right now, unless you gain the same qualifications. For now, just think of it as a dream.]

[Compared to this, you should be more concerned about the blood you consumed. That was well and truly from an A-Grade pollution source.]

Most of the time, pollution sources are feared and avoided, but occasionally, there are special circumstances where an Enlightened could become stronger through use of a pollution source. Even some healing type medications were produced using pollution sources.

Lu Yan, “What’s the use of it?”

System: [There are indeed uses for it. At critical moments, you can cut your wrist and let out some blood. Your blood can serve two purposes. The first is that it can temporarily strengthen other Enlighteneds but it has no effect on you. The second is that it can affect the sanity of a Pollutant. The efficacy is not fixed and it only works once for the same Pollutant.]

[Because it was voluntarily given to you by a piece of resentment, your body did not experience rejection. As expected of a man who will become a koi fish in the future, even your mutation degree only increased by 1.] The system expressed its amazement.

If others knew that Lu Yan had managed to integrate with a pollution source so easily, they would probably be very jealous.

Lu Yan felt that the situation was becoming more serious, “Isn’t this the real-life version of Tripitaka’s flesh?” (KKnotes: From Journey to the West. It was believed that one could achieve immortality through consuming Tripitaka’s flesh. In this context, it basically refers to something that is much-coveted.)

He could almost picture the future where black-hearted capitalists sold off his blood to people all across the world.

[Yes, and your blood is particularly useful to Enlighteneds who have the ability ‘Bloodlust Gene’. Just be careful not to get sucked dry. Well, that is why I suggest you keep it a secret. I feel that the day you get captured and taken to the Research Institute is getting closer and closer…]

Lin Sinan checked the navigation, “I should be taking you to that village to complete the beginner mission, but because of the two-day delay, the Living Dead incident there has already been dealt with. In order to reassure the people living in the area, they even filmed an episode of ‘Understanding Science’. The new mission I have just received is to take you back to the Pollution Disease Centre in K City and write a report on this latest pollution source encounter.”

For the employees of the Special Operations Division, they were required to write a report each time they encountered a pollution source.

This was also the source of intel for the Pollution Disease Centre.

The report mainly described the time, place and events, and it would then be sent to the Research Institute for specialised staff to conduct some studies.

With the collapse of the dream world and the departure of Dream Eater, the fog shrouding the highway cleared, revealing its original appearance.

Occasionally, there were several charred bodies lying by the side of the road, still burning with faint crimson flames. It gave Lu Yan the illusion that he had not yet left the dream.

Just like what the system said, the things that happened in the dream world were both a dream and reality.

According to the latest update on the Enlightenment Forum, the danger index of the polluted area around M City No. 3 High School had dropped from orange to yellow.

Even the Information and Technology Building located in the city centre that had been damaged by the Phyta was repaired. Well dressed white-collared workers shuttled through it.

All the shops selling frog meat and fish head hotpot in K City had closed down.

Fortunately, the municipality had issued a statement and would be giving out some subsidies to help.

After all, no matter how the world changes, people must still continue on with their lives.

[Insignificant, mediocre, pathetic and ignorant humans…] The system looked at the bustling streets and expressed: [Yet they are also very lively. I like these kinds of humans a lot.]

Lu Yan rolled up the car window and thought to himself that the system was acting very cheesy. He however also liked these kinds of humans.

Someone got up and then sat back down. They were extremely restless, “That healing type Enlightened still hasn’t arrived yet?”

That person was wearing a martial arts training attire, sported a short buzz cut and his muscles were very firm and solid. He looked like a monk who had just come out of the Shaolin Temple.

“Navigation shows that they are still 900 metres away. There is a bit of traffic.”

Chen Shi’er twisted and turned in the chair, “Can I go out and bring that person here?”

A middle-aged office worker pushed up his sunglasses, “Be patient. The information says that ‘Curious Listener’ is very vigilant and wary of outsiders. If you scare the other party away, I will be sending you back to Shaolin Temple to help you quit your internet addiction.”

“After all, we are here with a request for him, are we not?”
