Chapter 1144: Sensational News
Hu Youling opened her eyes, rubbed her temples, and found herself lying on a soft pink heart-shaped bed.
"This place is..."
She looked around and found that the bed was located at the top of a tiered building, with people below looking distraught and confused.
These people were entangled with each other, making noises that were unbearable to hear, and the scenes were unbearable to look at.
These scenes could most stimulate a person's desire, but Hu Youling felt nothing from them, only finding them very noisy.
She tried to walk down from the high platform to leave, only to find herself trapped there, with no apparent barrier, yet unable to leave.
"What on earth is going on..." Hu Youling tried to figure out the current situation, but soon gave up, as if she had forgotten many things.
Her range of movement was limited, but there was food and water provided, so she wouldn't go hungry.
However, when she ate and drank, Hu Youling frowned, noticing something had been added to the food, all designed to stimulate desire.
"I understand what's going on here. Someone has imprisoned me here, trying to maximize my desire, but leaving me unable to fulfill it."
"Too bad... I'm not falling for it now."
After eating and drinking, several tails grew from Hu Youling, covering her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and she started to sleep soundly.
If the mastermind only had this means, then Hu Youling would just live comfortably here.
According to Tao Qingqing, that person treats his assistants well, and would save them if they encountered danger, so she only needed to wait patiently.
"Wait, who is Tao Qingqing, and who is that person again? Never mind, I'll just sleep for now..."
...
After leaving the Sanctuary, Wen Wen received a message from Tao Qingqing, and he instantly teleported to where she was, seeing Hu Youling asleep with an adorable expression, emanating a fierce aura.
Everyone within a kilometer radius felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, and cats, dogs, birds, and insects all fell silent at once.
First Delia, then Hu Youling; to Wen Wen, it seemed like someone was targeting him.
Now, Wen Wen had a grudge against this mysterious sleep incident, and he was determined to make them pay for this provocation.
However, making them pay required Wen Wen to put in some effort.
Wen Wen placed his hand on Hu Youling's forehead, probing her body with his strength, scanning her so accurately that even her three measurements were precise to six decimal places.
After the investigation, Wen Wen found nothing unusual about Hu Youling; she seemed genuinely asleep.
Her strength flowed without hindrance, her mind was peaceful and calm, her brain remained active, and her soul was still within her body...
He attempted to use the Sanctuary to understand Hu Youling's condition, but the Sanctuary found no anomalies with her.
"There's something here; this could be troublesome. It's been a while since I encountered such a challenging case." Despite his anger, Wen Wen was deeply interested in the case.
Later, Wen Wen asked Tao Qingqing and learned that before Hu Youling fell into a coma, she had been pursuing a mysterious youth, and their encounter with this youth was entirely by chance.
This might prove that the opponent didn't really intend to provoke Wen Wen, and it was all just a coincidence.
But by now Wen Wen's interest had been piqued, and even if it was a coincidence, he would pursue it to the end.
He told Tao Qingqing: "This matter isn't simple, it's not something you can get involved in. You take Hu Youling and find a place to stay, I'll take care of this."
Hu Youling's sudden coma also made Tao Qingqing aware of the danger, so she wanted no part in this matter.
Watching Hu Youling walk some distance, Wen Wen narrowed his eyes at her and said:
"By the way, haven't you always wanted to take revenge on her? Now that she's unconscious and won't resist, you can take some appropriate revenge."
"Like drawing a turtle on her face or something. Don't go overboard, beyond what she did to you."
"As my assistant, to be so easily taken down by others and needing me to rescue her... How can she not pay some price for that?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Qingqing showed a strange expression, leaving with Hu Youling much faster and lighter.
Watching Hu Youling leave, a sharp look flashed in Wen Wen's eyes: "Mysterious youth, symptomless slumber... I will catch your tail."
Wen Wen immediately flew to the airport. Although a lot had happened, not much time had passed, and the opponent's plane should not have taken off yet.
However, by the time Wen Wen arrived, he couldn't find the youth's figure, only their booking record, with the destination being 'Doxinlide City.'
This city is said to have a thousand-year history, destroyed countless times, but rebuilt each time.
Originally called Lide City, it was renamed New Lide after destruction and reconstruction, later New New Lide, and finally, with too many "New" suffixes, became Doxinlide.
This address was the only clue Wen Wen currently had. Apart from this, he couldn't find any trace of the opponent, so he planned to visit Doxinlide City.
Doxinlide City was not far from Nuiz City, so Wen Wen didn't bother finding the Three Cubs to pilot a plane; instead, he flew there on the Ghost Dragon.
On the way, Wen Wen contacted the Black Night Knight, requesting all the information about the sleep incident. The Knight, eager for a resolution, kept nothing from Wen Wen.
After obtaining the data, Wen Wen contemplated and sent a previously recorded video to the Knight.
He knew sending this video to the Knight would cause a shock within the Hunter Association, which was interesting, but his interest lay more in the sleep incident now.
The Knight did not pay much attention to the video Wen Wen sent, having analyzed Wen Wen before, knowing him to likely send something absurd like 'Sow Postpartum Care.'
However, upon casually opening the video and seeing its content, his expression turned serious.
"Barriers will disappear one by one... The real world will revert to the Inner World... The new world will have a protection period... The heavenly gods are interested in the real world... Secret organizations plan to unite to overthrow the Hunter Association..."
Any one of these messages would cause upheaval at the Hunters Association. As a master of intelligence gathering, the Black Night Knight had predicted much.
Yet, when these things were connected, he couldn't help being shocked.
After a few minutes' hesitation, he sent the video to the Hunter Headquarters.
Though this impulsive act might lead to some unpleasant consequences, knowing this information a second earlier would help the Association prepare.
Only by facing the secret organizations' united offensive can they break them apart before they unite.
If the information was accurate, the Hunter Association's primary task would be to firmly grasp the real world's sovereignty before the day arrives.
Only then could it ensure a survival path for all the real world's residents!
