Chapter 184 (1/2)
Hao Ren did not expect to receive such important information. He was just here to help these black wolves cure their broken teeth. It appeared that being a good man and keeping his promise had rewarded him. He hastened to call the alpha wolf, who was ready to leave. “Wait a minute, tell us more details about this person.”
“Are you interested in her?” The alpha wolf squatted down to think, then it said, “Well, she was a very thin woman, probably the size of that woman with long hair over there (Vivian) but, a little taller. She was wearing a hooded outfit, looked like a hunter. She came from the north but, no one’s supposed to be living in the north. Unless, she came to this place from the human state far north. The woman looked worried. She said that she came from another world and something had gone wrong during some sort of experiment. I didn’t understand her words. Anyway, she said she wanted to go home, and proceeded to ask about the most unstable space in this world. ”
The information that the alpha wolf could provide was not much. Hao Ren later confirmed again and again the features of the woman who claimed to be from the Otherworld. However, a wolf’s ability to describe the features of a human was limited. In the end, Hao Ren could only deduce that it was a blonde woman, taller than Vivian, slim, and she was dressed in a white, hooded outfit. However, based on the alpha wolf’s the description, Hao Ren had a hunch that she did not come from Earth.
If she was not from Earth then, where did she come from?
Hao Ren had been to outer space and seen other forms of life so, his way of thinking was much wider, and more open than before. He thought of scenarios where intelligent creatures that existed on other planets in the Superficial World could have possibly entered The Plane of Dreams by accident. Since humans from Earth could enter The Plane of Dreams by chance, intelligent creatures of other planets could have also done it.
It just seemed like the woman’s situation was a little more complicated: In normal circumstances, a person who entered The Plane of Dreams by accident would automatically exit it after waking up. However, this woman happened to be completely trapped in this world. This was a situation that Hao Ren had never heard of.
“What else did she say?” Hao Ren squatted on the ground levelling his eyes with that of the alpha wolf. “Like, where does she stay and how did she come to this place.”
“How can I possibly understand so much.” The alpha wolf dug the ground with its paw. “Please, I’m just a wolf. She said a bunch of strange nouns but, I remember her mentioning that her homeland’s suffering… You don’t know that woman, do you?”
Hao Ren shook his head and stood up. “No, I don’t know her. I just find it weird… Do you know which way she went?”
“There is a mountain village in the west, and I know she had to have passed through there. I can’t tell you where she’s heading beyond that. I don’t know how humans plan their journey. I just roughly pointed her to the Beinz Blood Lake. I assume she’ll ask the locals later on.”
After the alpha wolf finished talking, it stared into the sky, trying to recall its memory. It suddenly brought something up. “Oh, I thought of something. When I was talking to that woman, it was very strange. The speed of the conversation was very fast. It felt like she knew what I was about to say just as I started to speak. I don’t know if it’s just the illusion of human speech.”
Hao Ren paused for a moment. He did not quite understand what this meant. After the alpha wolf roughly explained again, he had a faint feeling about it being some kind of communication beyond language. It seemed a bit similar to his mental connection with the MDT but, less efficient. It could have been the workings of some kind of technology or magic however, the alpha wolf was obviously not familiar with these things.
“I see.” Hao Ren nodded. He then waved goodbye to the alpha wolf and said, “Thank you for the information. Well, off we go.”
“Okay, till we meet again.” The alpha wolf bowed its head with its front paws pushing the field of grass. It seemed to be offering friendship. “You are a very special human. I’ve decided to allow my pack to be friends with you. Next time, if you face any trouble in the South Prairie, just come to us.”
Hao Ren laughed: He had really formed an incredible friendship, and if he got lost out on the prairies again, he did not have to worry about food…
The alpha wolf led his pack across the grassy knoll and disappeared from their sight. Hao Ren turned around and saw four pairs of very serious eyes: Even Lily, the silly girl also realised that they had a special harvest in this trip. It was clear that the woman who claimed to be from the Otherworld was of great significance.
Becky did not know why hao Ren and the rest of them were so interested in this matter. She leaned over curiously and asked, “From the Otherworld? Does it really exist?”
