Chapter 85 (2/2)

It was a diamond-shaped metal plate roughly the size of his palm. The surface was partly rusted which meant that it was made of iron. However, one thing caught his eye and it was the hieroglyphs on the metal sheet. He stared intensely at it for some time before realization struck him—it was the very same metal sheet he and Vivian found in his own basement!

“WTF?” Hao Ren murmured to himself in shock, “Why is this thing in my house…”

Before he could finish murmuring to himself, a strange whistling sound from outside the house interrupted him.

Alternating sounds of rumbling and whistling wind were heard from all directions followed by the rattling of the house. Hao Ren looked up instinctively. All of a sudden, the roof launched itself into the air and was blown away!

The thatched roof secured down by heavy stones was completed gone and the dark interior was suddenly filled with light—starlight and moonlight. The wall started shaking violently and before he knew it, the house was completely uprooted from its foundation.

The word ‘typhoon’ came to mind but it was too late. Before he could react to it, Hao Ren along with the wall were carried by the strong wind and blown up in the air!

Although bioenhancement had made Hao Ren as strong as an ox and as fit as a fiddle, it did not endow him with the stability of a mountain. The typhoon carried and tossed him around like a leaf. He was pulled into the typhoon and bumped into thousands of flying debris. He became disoriented and totally hapless. However, he quickly realized that the debris he smashed into the most was not of the house but a piece of glowing, metal object the size of his palm. He burst out, “MDT! Is this revenge?!”

The MDT pleaded sincerely as it swung around and hit Hao Ren’s head countless times, “The device is unable to control itself. It is such a horrible typhoon…”

“Horrible what? You’ve hit me on my face no less than four…five times, now!” Hao Ren was furious but he didn’t lose his mind. “What’s going on? A typhoon in clear weather?”

“God knows! The early warning system for disasters was not working since Raven 12345 meddled with the device! And the extreme weather radar program just passed its trial period last night. File your complaint to the higher-ups if you have the guts!”

“You son of a b…” Before he could lash out, he blacked out.

A sense of weightlessness engulfed him before he he felt like he was thrown violently onto solid ground. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in his bed in the comfort of his home; a warm ray of sunshine shone on him.

It was time to wake up—the timing was pre-set before he entered The Plane of Dreams.

The sensation of being tossed around by the typhoon still terrorized him. Going into The Plane of Dreams was indeed a test of the strength of one’s heart. It took him quite a while before his heartbeat slowed down to a normal rate. But, he felt something sharp pressing against his thigh.

He reached for his thigh and there it was—the diamond-shaped metal plate.
