Illusory World

Su Ping didn't stop; he kept on moving further away.

The noises gradually faded into the distance, until they couldn't be heard anymore. Su Ping didn't know when Manager Tan would take him away; she must have sensed that her lingering thought had already been triggered. His mind would be freed if she took him out of the Sea of Illusions.

Something is wrong about this trip. Did the Loulans not do any reconnaissance work? I heard that the best AI of the Federation has been monitoring the Sea of Illusions; it sends out alarms if anything goes wrong…

Su Ping's eyes flashed. He noticed that the color of the fog was off; it was slightly dark, as if contaminated by ink.

It was then that the illusion of the tree and the old man reappeared. The old man waved at Su Ping.

"My young friend, the Tide of Filth is coming. Come here."

Joanna appeared next to the old man before Su Ping replied. She looked at him quietly, with anxiety in her eyes.
