Chapter 282: Excuse me, can anyone fly a plane?
Translator: Stardu5t Editor: Kurisu
The dreamland this time was not affected by Lady Onion or by the pink string of karma.
It was just Song Shuhang seeing the majestic city in the sky once again in his semi-conscious mode.
Why would I see that city in the sky for no apparent reason? Could it be because I am nearing the East China Sea? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Song Shuhang, who was in the midst of dreaming, looked all around and saw that there were mountains, lakes, forests, and gra.s.slands on the huge island.
There was also an ancient city, as well as tall city walls to fully protect it.
In the dream, Song Shuhang saw everything from bird’s-eye view, overlooking the majestic island in the sky from above. He could clearly see the layout of the ancient city. Especially in the center of the ancient city, where stood an eye-catching tall tower.
However, in this ancient city, not a single human figure could be seen—there was not a single soul in sight.
Is this the mysterious island? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
The last time, via Lady Onion’s dreamland, he could feel the presence of the buddhist monk named ‘Nine Lanterns’ (or perhaps he should say buddhist nun Nine Lanterns?) within the city in the sky. However, he did not see any traces of ‘Sister Nine Lanterns’ in his current dream. He did not see a single person.
After surveying the entire ancient city once, Song Shuhang’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to the outside world—to be exact, to the huge forest.
Next, his gaze fell upon that enormous crescent moon-like lake.
This crescent moon-like lake was extremely beautiful.
It was the same as those lakes that constantly appeared in fantasy movies—tranquil, reflecting the moonlight, and causing one to be charmed by it. If one were to use their phone to capture an image of it, it would not even require any filters—it could be used directly as a computer or phone wallpaper.
Just as Song Shuhang’s gaze was about to get closer to the lake… suddenly, something within the lake sensed his gaze.
”Splas.h.!.+” A huge and long blue fish jumped out of the crescent moon-like lake, directly charging towards the sky.
It was really huge—just by observing its body, the part of its body that was out of the water was at least ten meters long. Its figure was like that of a snake, but it had no fish scales—its skin was akin to a dried-up tree bark.
The huge blue fish faced the sky, revealing its ferocious teeth; its tongue was akin to a small, strange green fish, and it also had a pair of sharp claws that were gesturing threateningly at Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang got shocked by the strange fish that suddenly appeared—it was practically like watching a warm, comforting movie and having a scary ghost suddenly appear in the scene, coupled with a ghostly cry.
Regardless of who it was, they would have been subconsciously scared out of their wits.
After getting a huge scare, Song Shuhang woke up.

”Was it a nightmare?” Song Shuhang muttered as he slowly opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, everything outside the window was pitch black—the kind where you wouldn’t be able to see all five of your fingers.
”Eh? What’s happening, is it already nighttime?” Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
It shouldn’t be the case—when they headed out it was still morning, it shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours to get to the East China Sea, should it? How could it be night already?
Additionally, why were the pa.s.sengers around them wearing a panicked look on their face?
”What happened?” Song Shuhang immediately asked Joseph, who was sitting next to him.
Joseph smiled bitterly and said, ”Teacher, something really bad happened.”
Just as Joseph was about to explain to him, the air hostess’ shocked voice was heard in the plane.
”Dear… dear pa.s.sengers… I need to inquire, are there any pa.s.sengers amongst us who can fly a plane? This matter is extremely urgent.” The air hostess’ voice was trembling,
After that, the air hostess repeated what she said earlier in English.
The pa.s.sengers were in a state of panic; chaos and disorder ensued.
”What’s happening? Why are they asking if anyone knows how to fly a plane?” Song Shuhang was extremely curious.
”Just earlier, three minutes ago at most, everything suddenly went black mid-flight, and nothing can be seen since then,” Joseph explained, trying his best to maintain his calmness.
”After that, we suddenly realized that a lot of people disappeared, including my daughter and several other pa.s.sengers. They just suddenly disappeared, as though they had never boarded the plane at all.” Joseph clenched his teeth; he was very worried about what happened to his daughter.
”What is even worse is that the pilots have both disappeared; the flight crew members at the front of the plane, too… they have all suddenly disappeared.”
Song Shuhang was dumbstruck.
The pilots have disappeared? Some of the flight crew members who somewhat knew how to operate a plane have all disappeared?
What kind of joke is this! Then who’s piloting the plane right now?
