"You heard ."
Su Mulian's expression was like that of a delirious lunatic but also like a saint who was offering sacrifices.
She was obviously tied up and curled up in a corner, but she spoke in the tone of a supre judge. "You and Lu Siya are destined to destroy Dragon City in the near future!"
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Siya could not help but ask, "I've been accused of countless cris by all kinds of people, but it's the first ti I've been accused of such a serious cri as 'destroying Dragon City.'
"May I ask, since it's 'in the near future,' what makes you so sure, Ms. Mulian?"
"I saw it. No, to be more precise, I experienced it myself."
Su Mulian said, "In countless nightmares, I personally experienced the terrible future that you caused!"
ng Chao and Lu Siya were silent.
However, the reason for their silence was completely different.
"You... You dread of it?"
Lu Siya could not believe it. "Just because you dread that I would destroy Dragon City, you've carefully been planning to kill ? T-That doesn't sound like a mature and rational decision!"
"I know that what I've been doing looks crazy, but if you had the sa experience as , if the most realistic nightmares consud you for countless nights, and you died repeatedly in the apocalyptic fire, I swear that you would make the sa choice as I have!
On Su Mulian's calm face, there was a fear that she had never shown even when she was suffering the most painful injuries. She said in a trembling voice, "No, I'm sure that it wasn't just a nightmare but a future, a real future. Nevertheless, I saw it in advance for so inexplicable reason!"
"You're really..."
Lu Siya could not help laughing.
However, when she saw ng Chao's extrely serious expression, her smile froze.
"Continue."
ng Chao furrowed his brows and enunciated each word clearly. "Ms. Mulian, please tell the whole story, from the beginning to the end, no matter how big or small the details are.
Su Mulian's eyes blood with a ray of hope.
She took a deep breath, organized her thoughts, and said, "Do you still rember the first ti we t? I was shocked when I heard your nas."
ng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged glances.
The two of them nodded at the sa ti.
Their first encounter with Su Mulian had been in the depths of the Lair, when Leprosy Village and the Golden Tooth Gang were about to start a war.
At that ti, they fought side by side with Su Mulian and worked together to save Leprosy Billage and even the entire Lair.
In the beginning, Su Mulian was full of trust and gratitude toward them.
However, after hearing their nas, her attitude changed instantly. She was filled with an instinctive fear that ca from the depths of her being.
This fear was even greater than the fear she had for the Supernatural Entity, Vortex, which had been wreaking havoc in the Lair.
Back then, ng Chao had indeed found it strange.
However, after that, all kinds of conflicts and wars ca one after another. Training, planning, and fighting took up all his ti and thinking space, leaving him no ti to care about this insignificant thing.
"It's because that wasn't our first ti eting, or rather, that wasn't my first ti hearing your nas."
Su Mulian murmured, "In that horrible dream that has occurred countless tis, I have long known that your power and strength would be a hundred tis stronger than they are today. In that Dragon City, you were no longer pawns but the civilization's high and mighty leaders!"
"Ms. Mulian, can you describe it more clearly? What kind of nightmare was it? And when did it start?"
ng Chao's expression was extrely serious, even a little ferocious.
"I-I don't know. My mories are a bit jumbled. I can't even tell whether it was an actual nightmare or future information that was injected into my brain by a certain mysterious force."
Su Mulian looked stunned and continued, "It should be a few years ago, or even earlier, when I began to have a strange dream.
"At first, the weird dream was like all other dreams, mottled and fuzzy. No matter how clear and real the dream got, it would dissipate, and the storm would clear.
"I've already forgotten what the dream was like.
"I only rember an extrely impactful and colorful scene.
"In the scene, ten thousand fireballs exploded above Dragon City as if ten thousand suns had fallen from the sky. The flas that they spurted out were like burning waterfalls, drowning the entire city in a sea of fire that was rolling, roaring, and expanding.
"The entire Dragon City—the glittering skyscrapers in the central business district, the pleasant villas where the rich and the strongest live, and the ssy, narrow, and cramped Lair—were all blown apart and carbonized into powder by the blast of the explosion.
"The people living in the city turned into twisted smoke in an instant too and returned to the eternal nothingness with their last screams.
"This nightmare was too real and too scary.
"Every ti I woke up from a nightmare, my heart would feel like it was going to tear my chest apart and run away. I would gasp for breath for more than ten minutes in a bed soaked in sweat before I could slightly calm down.
"If it were a re nightmare, perhaps I wouldn't be in such despair.
"However, at so point in ti, new scenes and information appeared in the constantly repeating nightmare.
"I seed to dream of Dragon City before it was destroyed by the flas of the apocalypse. I went to the day before it was destroyed, a month, a year, or even a few years ago, and I watched Dragon City, the ho of all our people, walk step by step into the abyss of eternal damnation."
"Can you see Dragon City's future?"
Su Mulian's expression was too genuine. When she said "ten thousand suns fell from the sky," Lu Siya seed to feel her flesh and bone marrow burn.
She gradually beca serious as she confird in a solemn tone, "I can't see the future of others. I can only see my own future from my own perspective," Su Mulian said.
"Nonetheless, it's the sa. At the end of this future, I, along with everyone, will be burned to ashes by the raging flas."
"Interesting."
Lu Siya's eyes gradually shone with an unpredictable light. She asked with interest, "What will beco of you in the future? Also, you said that ng Chao and I would be the leaders of Dragon City civilization. What do you an? Do I or ng Chao beco the chairman of the Survival Committee?"
