Chapter 116: Chapter 115 Friends or Foes
Was this a scene from the early days of the Miners’ Brotherhood? At least at this ti, Luowei Siya didn’t seem to be a mber of the Brotherhood.
At this mont, the area around the mory maze had beco quite dim, and the vines in the shadows seed to co to life, occasionally twitching and making a crawling friction sound.
Chaoyang realized that he had delved too deep into the mory, and his subconscious had started to react with rejection; he could stay for a few more minutes at most before he had to leave.
With this in mind, he turned his gaze to the last mory block.
This ti, the owner of the mory was no longer in the gloomy mine tunnels but was sitting in a hut. Across from her sat Haiya and a masked woman.
“We have gathered enough evidence, and the discovery at the bottom of the mine will change the strategy of Gaotian Mining Company. Soon, the New Continent Mining Area will beco their focal point,” Haiya spoke, “It won’t be long before the parent company sends a large number of people to converge on Magnificent Castle, and our people will have no space to survive.”
“How long do we have?”
“No more than half a year,” Haiya glanced at the woman beside her, “My sister has a point, we don’t have ti to hesitate, we need to get ready now.”
“But… wouldn’t destroying the entire Magnificent Castle be too costly?” Luowei Siya clearly hesitated, “Although part of the Brotherhood consists of regular people, Seaguardians account for more than seventy percent. If this gets out, I’m afraid the Old Continent’s hostility towards the entire Haiwei Clan will intensify. By then, we would truly beco unpardonable sinners!”
Chaoyang was taken aback by this revelation.
The identity of the masked woman was confird, but he hadn’t expected the Miners’ Brotherhood to be plotting sothing so big, intending to destroy an entire city!
The question was, how could these people carry out their plan when even the combined security forces of the four major companies posed a great challenge, not to ntion the city guard troops stationed within the city?
Seeing Haiya also looking troubled, her sister suddenly spoke up, “Is your island still there?”
“What?”
“My sister and I co from Larachi Island, far from the Old Continent. Occasionally, when ships passed by, we would trade fresh fish and beautiful corals for goods like salt, sugar, and spices. Far from being pirates who rob, Larachi Island has never even shortchanged a single cargo. But what happened?”
Her voice grew heavy, “One day, the shipping company’s warships ca. They destroyed our houses with cannons, killed all our fishern, and drove the surviving captives into cages, transporting them by the shipload to the New Continent. anwhile, they set up drilling rigs and cranes on the island, shattered tons of coral reefs near the island, and took them away. Now you see, the shipping company that destroyed Larachi Island is still active in ports and docks, while Seaguardians without attachnt to the Old Continent are being labeled as pirates who commit arson and looting.”
“Aren’t they hostile enough toward us? Though they are the real criminals, they push all kinds of cris onto us!” she clenched her fists tightly, “I admit that not everyone is like this, just as so Seaguardians have beco pirates. But in such an environnt, the voices of those who are friendly can hardly make a ripple, especially under the interests chain of the brilliant blue stones, our only choices are death or rebellion!”
“I also agree with the rebellion, or else I would not have joined you…” Luowei Siya lowered her head, “But don’t we have a better way?”
“This is the best thod,” the other firmly declared, “The Brotherhood cannot defeat the company outright, and even if it could, the lords would surely side with the company. Our only chance of victory lies in the brilliant blue stone column of Magnificent Castle; just blowing it up would engulf the city in mist, rendering this area totally worthless—we might not even need to kill too many people to drive them all away!”
As she spoke, Haiya’s sister suddenly stood up from her chair and knelt on one knee.
“Trust , this is our only chance to survive, you must help us. The miners from Larachi Island are not enough to support the entire operation, only with your people joining us do we stand a glimr of a chance. If you’re worried about being used by , I can even offer you the leader’s position of the Brotherhood—or whatever else you want!”
Luowei Siya stepped forward, bending down to help her up, “You saved my life, it’s only right and proper that I repay you. I can help you with the plan, but you must promise
that if there is a better way to take revenge on Gaotian Mining and rescue all the enslaved miners, you will modify this plan accordingly.”
“It’s a deal,” their hands clasped firmly together.
At that mont, Chaoyang felt sothing wrap around his foot.
He suddenly looked down and saw a vine that had crawled over without him noticing, tying a firm knot around his ankle!
How could this be possible?
The Dream Entering Technique was a fusion of consciousness; any impact it created should only linger on the level of consciousness. In other words, he shouldn’t be a “physical” entity at this mont—it should be utterly impossible for him to touch these mory blocks, let alone for the things in the mory blocks to touch him!
Chaoyang tried to pull away and ascend, but the vine had no intention of letting him go. It not only tugged at him but also started to climb up his calf!
This is bad!
There was definitely sothing wrong with this thing.
The simplest way to get out of this situation now was undoubtedly to interrupt the dream, allowing his consciousness to return to his body!
But if he separated now, he wouldn’t have ti to create a second avatar to guide the subconscious of Haiya’s sister.
In an instant, Chaoyang thought of a thod.
If Luowei Siya’s importance was indeed extraordinary, then affecting the other party using her influence should also be effective.
No sooner said than done! He extracted a segnt of mory from his mind with the fastest speed, reconstructed it according to his own ideas, and rged it into the mory maze of Luowei Siya. He then yelled at Ailuodi, “Interrupt the ability!”
The next second, the surrounding environnt shattered in an instant, as if the world collapsed with it. After a bout of nauseating high-speed spinning and nerve-wracking pain, he found himself back at the bridge again.
“Indeed, it’s your waking service that gets the job done.” Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and sprawled out to lie down.
He had experienced this move when he first t the Angel.
The gust of wind that Ailuodi unleashed not only dispelled his avatar but also made his stealth camouflage totally ineffective. It could be said to forcefully dispel all of the Demon’s deceptive abilities.
And this move proved to be equally extraordinary when used to interrupt a connection.
“What happened?” Ailuodi asked curiously. She could only see what was within Chaoyang’s field of vision and couldn’t receive real-ti intelligence from the Dream Entering Technique.
“It’s a long story.” Chaoyang waited for the dizziness to subside before slowly sitting up and shared the mory with her, “I don’t know if it was the influence of the underground veins, but I actually got my foot tangled by a dream vine. Moreover, this person is indeed Haiya’s sister. I rember when we t, Luowei Siya called her Haiqi, so it seems that her full na must be Haiqi Mira.”
“Hold on… You changed your guidance subject to Luowei Siya? Will that work?”
“It better, otherwise we’ll have to approach the Brotherhood ourselves,” Chaoyang shrugged.
What a joke! All of his foundations were in the Magnificent Castle; Yeni Temple and Gate of Destiny Pharmaceuticals were currently the sources providing him with wishing power. Anyone who thought of ssing with those two was touching Paradise’s sore spot. He could never let the Miners’ Brotherhood succeed in their plan to destroy the city.
If he could subvert their intentions, then there might be room for negotiation.
Otherwise, they would be enemies.
