156: Each person's dream

The fog was dense; visibility dropped to less than five meters within a few minutes.

Everything around them became blurred and indistinct.

"Is this the Siren's Mist?"

Song San's expression changed abruptly, and he hurriedly pulled Bai Ye into the warehouse of the whale breaker.

He also urged him to quickly cover his mouth and nose.

"What is the Siren's Mist?"

Bai Ye still lacked sufficient knowledge about things at sea.

Song San let out a nervous breath, found the fur of an unknown Demonic Beast in the warehouse, held it over his mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice:

"It is one of the routes to the Storm Sea Eye, also known as the Lost Channel; this waterway can be said to be the fastest route to the Storm Sea Eye."

"Legend has it that a type of Demonic Beast called a 'Siren' inhabits this place. They use mist and song to bewitch passing ships, causing the crew to lose their way in hallucinations and eventually perish in the sea."

"I heard from some old sailors that during the fishing competition thirty years ago, several Fourth-Tier Beast Tamers fell for it here, steering their ships into the reef area, resulting in the destruction of the ships and loss of life."

Song San's tone was filled with wariness.

Fortunately, ever since then, if taking this route, helmsmen have always let mechanical Demonic Beasts that cannot enter hallucinations steer the ship.

Aside from the potential to affect vision and the possibility of performing embarrassing acts after entering hallucinations, it is nothing major.

To enter the Storm Sea Eye quickly, many Beast Tamers coming for the competition take this route.

"That sinister?"

Bai Ye became interested.

Illusion techniques capable of snaring Fourth-Tier Beast Tamers and Demonic Beasts are rare.

"Let the Train Hero continue to steer; we must be on high alert and absolutely must not be bewitched. Once we leave this mist, we will be fine."

Song San urged solemnly.

Bai Ye nodded and relayed Song San's words to the three beast pets using Telepathy.

Xiao Lan's Vine Whip swayed; it had an innate vigilance against this type of mental-level attack.

However, it could avoid entering hallucinations simply by not breathing.

Xiao Hei pulled Phantom Snow, asking her to help block its ears so it could avoid hearing the singing.

Phantom Snow sighed, pressing its two small paws onto its sister's ears.

She felt that doing this was not as good as simply using Fusion, which could also increase Mental Energy.

As long as Mental Energy is strong enough, a mere illusion can be easily broken.

Her grandfather was very skilled at mental control skills; although she was taken away by the keeper as soon as she was born, some Legacy remained in her memory.

"Woo."

A melodious and ethereal song came from the depths of the thick fog.

The singing carried a special power, penetrating the armor of the whale breaker and ringing directly in their minds.

"It's here!"

Song San's body jolted, his eyes wide open.

He shook his head desperately, trying to drive the demonic singing out of his mind.

With the infinite controlling the ship, he was not actually worried about the ship being destroyed or losing his life.

But if he entered an illusion and said something he shouldn't, and it was recorded on the live stream, his life might be ruined.

Bai Ye also heard the singing.

It had to be said that it was quite pleasant, but that was all.

His mental strength, bolstered by his purple Telepathy Talent, was already incredibly resilient.

This level of mental attack was no different from listening to a lullaby to him.

He watched Song San's reaction with great interest.

He saw the expression on Song San's face shift from struggle to confusion, and finally to ecstasy.

His eyes stared straight at the wall in front of him, and a lecherous smile appeared on his face.

"Xuexue, you are finally willing to come out and see me..."

He opened his arms and hugged the air tightly, embracing the person he loved most.

"I know, you still have me in your heart; I knew it..."

He muttered to himself, pushed open the warehouse door step by step, walked to the edge of the ship, and was about to jump into the arms of his imaginary lover.

Bai Ye: "..."

He had guessed it; he didn't need Telepathy to know what Song San's illusion was like.

He picked up a rope from the ground, wrapped it around Song San's waist, and pulled him back from the edge of the ship.

"Wake up, stop dreaming."

Bai Ye patted his face and said irritably.

He looked up at the drone beside him in the sky, which was still faithfully recording Song San's movements.

This little bit of force was not enough to wake the hypnotized Song San, who was still immersed in his fantasy, whispering sweet nothings to the air.

"Mermaid Miss, you are truly beautiful; your scales are brighter than the stars in the sky."

"For you, I am willing to take out my heart and show it to you."

Bai Ye looked at Song San and sighed helplessly; even if he woke up now, he might only be able to cover it up by speaking louder.

He would have to wake him up physically.

He raised his hand, preparing to give Song San a big slap.

Before he could act, he caught a glimpse of the two kittens staying together out of the corner of his eye.

Xiao Hei was holding its phone, which wasn't turned on, and its two small paws were tapping frantically on the screen.

Its mouth was making "meow meow meow" sound effects.

Phantom Snow stood on Xiao Hei's head, releasing its pressure wantonly, causing the small drone in the sky to start wobbling.

Great, two more down.

Fortunately, Xiao Lan was holding its breath, and it could turn off its auditory System at will, so it had not fallen into the illusion.

"This illusion is quite powerful."

Bai Ye touched his chin, abandoning the plan to wake Song San up physically.

What's wrong with the world of illusions!

It seemed a bit inhumane to wake him up now.

Anyway, he was tied up with a rope, so nothing would happen.

Mainly, he was worried that if he slapped him, he didn't know if the illusion would be broken, but the person might be gone.

Phantom Cat entering the illusion was actually an interesting experience; he also wanted to see what they wanted most.

Bai Ye used Telepathy to peek slightly into Xiao Hei's dream.

An illusory figure of Bai Ye appeared in Xiao Hei's fantasy.

In the dream, she had actually become a top-tier professional esports player.

She was sitting on the stage of a world-class competition, leading her teammates to crush the opponents with lightning-fast operations.

The audience below was cheering wildly.

Bai Ye tried to wake Xiao Hei from the illusion using Telepathy.

But to his surprise, Phantom Snow couldn't see him at all, let alone hear his voice.

"You're refusing to wake up on purpose because you can't play games on the ship, right?"

As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, he saw Xiao Hei's eyes shift guiltily in the opposite direction.

It's over, the cat he raised since it was little has learned bad habits.

The virtual world has ruined the cat.

Bai Ye withdrew his Telepathy and couldn't help but shake his head.

Forget it, let her stay in there if she likes.

But such a realistic illusion made him also feel restless.

If he could accelerate thinking like Tsukuyomi...

Goodness, Xiao Lan's new cheat might be sorted out.

He cast his gaze toward Phantom Snow again.

Phantom Snow's illusion was much simpler and more direct; in her dream, she had become the strongest existence in the team.

She smashed the Mudrock Giant with one claw.

Xiao Hei was controlled by her Phantom Pupil and obediently handed over all its dried fish.

Even Bai Ye, under her Kings Authority, replaced Xiao Lan's original position with her.

"..."

Really, what a simple and unadorned dream; isn't it just being the leader? I'll let her stay there for a while next time.
