Chapter 515: 306: Ma E and the Authority of Dreamland
Residential Area.
Tightly packed buildings with not very high floors obscure the sunlight from the outside world.
In front of each narrow and sunless window, there are half-dried clothes draped.
The smell of disinfectant mixed with soap lingers in the air.
No sunlight.
Dank, dark surroundings are the main theme of this residential area.
Germs and bugs are the other group of “residents” in this neighborhood.
Pungent odors in the air serve as the primary weapons humans use to kill germs.
At a glance,
it’s the same view everywhere.
Although Golden Palm City is relatively backward in urban construction,
its unique geographical location brings many industrial factories.
Naturally, this attracts a significant number of laborers.
And this residential area,
due to the extremely low rent,
becomes a gathering place for workers and some underprivileged people.
Chen Sheng, guided by the navigation, arrives at this residential area.
As soon as he comes close,
his superhuman senses accidentally have a “negative effect” at this moment.
Chen Sheng can clearly see the germs and various microorganisms floating in front of his eyes.
The pungent odor that permeates the air,
instantly fills his entire nasal cavity.
Although he has seen countless scenes and sensed everything around him, Chen Sheng still frowns and remains troubled for a long time.
This,
is the place where Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird are currently located.
Having arrived here,
Chen Sheng would not retreat because of the harsh environment.
He only pauses briefly.
After getting used to the environment, he takes a step and continues towards the target location.
On his phone’s green screen,
the red dot representing Chen Sheng,
is slowly merging with the other two.
“Heh”
Residential Area.
Building F, 3rd Floor.
The sound of panting echoes in the hallway.
A man with burnt skin and blood-red eyes is leaning against the wall, struggling to walk.
Today, the damp and cold hallway feels unbearably hot.
The high temperature causes visible distortions in the air.
The floor, usually damp, is now devoid of any moisture.
His hand touches the wall,
and his feet step on the ground.
You can hear the sound of burning vaguely.
Every time the sound is heard,
the man’s body twitches involuntarily from the pain.
But he doesn’t stop walking.
For every second that he remains here,
the burning sensation on his skin intensifies,
and his vision becomes increasingly blurred.
He can clearly feel the ebbing of his life force.
“Damn it!”
As his consciousness starts to blur,
the man bites his tongue hard.
The sudden pain brings his consciousness temporarily back to clarity.
But his tongue is already riddled with wounds,
and his body is practically reaching its limit.
He needs to leave this building as soon as possible.
As long as he finds other people, he can…
get rid of this seriously injured body.
“Huff”
Trembling, the man takes a deep breath, trying to lessen the pain.
His name is Ma E.
He has an older brother named Ma Xiong.
This is not their real name, but the alias they used while in the Holy Sect with their brother Ma Xiong.
Yes.
Ma E is part of the Holy Sect.
Their background before joining the Holy Sect is similar to most people in the Holy Sect.
Both of them are from poor families and crave for social status and wealth.
After awakening as Qi-sensors half a year ago, they relied on the superhuman constitution and ruthless mentality of Qi-sensors to amass a considerable amount of wealth in a short period.
This resulted in being hunted by the Martial Arts Association and Wu’an Bureau, and they had no choice but to join the Holy Sect in desperation.
During their time in the Holy Sect,
the two brothers participated in several operations.
Although they survived, they realized that the Holy Sect was not a good place.
The operations they participated in were basically trading in their lives.
However,
like the others in the Holy Sect,
even after realizing this, they could not easily leave the Holy Sect.
Otherwise, an endless manhunt would await them.
Until a week ago, when a turning point came.
At that time, the brothers who were in Kyoto were supposed to be turned into mindless fighting machines under the power of the awakened Heavenly Person, until they were killed.
But perhaps owning Heavenly Person cells in their bodies and having unique authority attributes, Ma Xiong was the first to regain consciousness and helped his brother Ma E regain consciousness as well.
The brothers awakened the abilities,
called Dreamland and Memory.
Ma E has the power of Dreamland, which allows him to enter people’s consciousness and create dreams to stimulate them.
Or, he can bring someone into a dream world where he has absolute power, and completely control their consciousness.
Ma Xiong has the power of Memory, which allows him to tamper with people’s memories or implant fake memories.
Both of these powers directly affect the mental level, and are exceptionally strong and mysterious.
After awakening,
the brothers, who had undergone numerous tests, finally saw hope.
To break away from the Holy Sect.
And… the hope of rising in these turbulent times.
So,
when Vermilion Bird issued the order for members to find and contact the descendants of Heavenly Humans,
the brothers, who were used to living on the edge of life and death, realized this was the best opportunity.
Using their convenient status as part of the Holy Sect, they investigated the available information about the known Heavenly Human descendants and used the Memory ability to plant the “false memory” of collusion between the Martial Arts Association and the Holy Sect to persecute the Heavenly Human descendants into their consciousness, making them firmly believe it.
