Ch46 - Doubts (1/2)
“Finally found you.” Yu Hao said wearily.
Chen Yekai answered, “Where is this place?”

Yu Hao suddenly realised their conundrum. Now that they found Chen Yekai, how should they explain this to him?
But Zhou Sheng interjected, “Follow us.”
“Where to?” Chen Yekai asked.
“There’s no time, I’ll explain later.” Zhou Sheng said, “Hurry! Kaikai! Trust us!”
Chen Yekai hesitantly walked towards them. Yu Hao thought, nice one. Zhou Sheng signalled to Yu Hao with his eyes.
“Yu Hao.” Chen Yekai said, “Are you angry with me?”
Yu Hao didn’t know how to respond. Zhou Sheng said, “Yeah, everyone’s angry at you. Why would you leave without saying anything?”

Chen Yekai sighed. Yu Hao asked, “Chen Laoshi, where are you going?”
Chen Yekai answered, “Back to New York, then transferring to another flight to Mexico.”
Zhou Sheng secretly gave Yu Hao a thumbs up. It meant that Chen Yekai will be sleeping on the plane for a while, so they wouldn’t need to panic.
“We’re going to Argentina now.” Zhou Sheng brought Chen Yekai to the path they had come from, then got into the car, “You drive.” As he spoke, he sat in the back seat with Yu Hao. Chen Yekai turned around to cast a doubtful look at Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng before he started up the jeep, then drove it away from Mt. Tianqing and towards the center of his conscious world.
Yu Hao leaned in to whisper very quietly into Zhou Sheng’s ear, “Are you sure that he won’t discover the truth?”
Zhou Sheng answered quietly, “He won’t. This is just a dream to him. Think about it, there’s barely any logic in dreams. Just like with Shi Ni, she did whatever we asked her to do. As long as we don’t agitate him too much, the dream won’t change much.”
The jeep emitted a bright light as it travelled through the dark rainforest. Chen Yekai focused intently on driving the car.
“Did you realise something?” Zhou Sheng moved closer to whisper into Yu Hao’s ear, “Why are the monsters not attacking us anymore?”
Yu Hao suddenly realised that ever since they discovered how the shirt could be used and defeated that Tyrannosaurus Rex, the panthers no longer harassed them.
Yu Hao said quietly, “Perhaps in his conscious world, there’s a tacit rule to not attack the people wearing this shirt?”
Zhou Sheng replied quietly as well, “But I think there’s another possibility: all the monsters that attacked us are under……” As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the rainforest that they were steadily approaching, “……the control of a certain existence.”
Yu Hao shuddered. If that was the case, then the monsters appeared to be extremely clever. Panthers wouldn’t chase the car anymore. He connected it with the time he went down the mountain — he had vaguely heard a whistle then, and didn’t think much of it because he had thought it was Zhou Sheng, but now that he recalled it, it could have been a signal to attack. Someone was commanding them.
“Aside from Kaikai, there’s someone else who’s issuing orders……”
“Shh.” Zhou Sheng motioned for Yu Hao to not let Chen Yekai hear them. Chen Yekai was still driving attentively. The jeep passed by the cliff again, and the inn at the top was now in ruins.

“Ryuusei……”
The car slowed down slightly. Zhou Sheng quickly said, “Ryuusei isn’t there anymore.”
“He is.” Chen Yekai said stubbornly, “I found him. He’s in the room.”
Zhou Sheng signalled to Yu Hao. Yu Hao immediately answered, “He’s not there. I went there to look for him, so I’m sure of it. Chen Laoshi, do you trust me?”
Chen Yekai thought about it, “I trust you.”

Yu Hao, “Then let’s go ba!”

The roaring of the waterfalls in this conscious world would sometimes sound distant and sometimes close. Chen Yekai drove attentively, and he eventually made a turn in the dense forest. They arrived at a wide clearing and a magnificent waterfall suddenly came into view — that encircled an imposing and towering pyramid at its centre!
Behind the pyramid was the Iguazu Falls, which seemed as formidable as the mountain ranges.
“We’re here.” Chen Yekai alighted from the car and murmured, “The Argentina and Mexico of my dream, I’m back.”
Yu Hao tried to compose his thoughts. Chen Yekai said, “Where should we go next?”
Zhou Sheng raised a finger, “Do you see that pyramid? At its centre is a treasure. You will only truly be able to overcome yourself when we seize it back together.”
The Iguazu Falls is located in South America, while Chichén Itzá is in Mexico. But in Chen Yekai’s dreams, they strangely overlapped in one place. The three sides of the ancient pyramid of Chichén Itzá were surrounded by the Iguazu Falls. Within this dark world, the turbulent waters roared endlessly in a torrential downfall.

Chen Yekai had a bewildered expression. He looked at Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng, then looked at the pyramid of Chichén Itzá.
“Together?” Chen Yekai frowned.
“Together.” Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yekai answered, “Okay, but please give me some time first.”
Chen Yekai slowly walked towards the huge waterfall, while Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng quickly made preparations in the car.
“The bullets in the gun are infinite.” Zhou Sheng said, “As long as we both take one, it’ll be enough, and also take one more for Kaikai.”
Yu Hao looked at Chen Yekai’s back as he stood in front of the huge waterfall — it was a lofty and spectacular sight. As he stood in the open space outside the ancient city, the waterfall almost seemed to encompass the world, and Chen Yekai’s figure seemed utterly insignificant in its presence.
Yu Hao momentarily fell into a complicated mood, “Will he discover the truth?”
Zhou Sheng whispered, “Don’t worry, even if he knows, then so be it. It won’t matter much even if he does. I still have one more trick I can use to make him forget everything. Only I can use it, remember the night before New Year’s Eve?”
Yu Hao, “!!!”
That night, Zhou Sheng had pressed his hand against Yu Hao’s forehead to try and force him to forget.
“But it failed when you used it on me.” Yu Hao said.

Zhou Sheng said, “Because I took your totem, so the Golden Crow Wheel tacitly acknowledged us as partners. When we leave, you definitely can’t take anything away from his conscious world. If he finds out the truth, then we need to think of a way to trick him into coming back from New York. I will then make him lose all the memories he has of this conscious world.”
Yu Hao, “Will there be any consequences?”
Zhou Sheng, “None, but it’s better if I don’t use it too often ba.” As he spoke, he drew slightly closer again and said to Yu Hao, “I’m guessing that later, you may have to fight a decisive battle with Nakagawa Ryuusei……so take this gun……”
Yu Hao said, “I can’t do that!”
Chen Yekai turned and eyed them suspiciously from where he stood in front of the waterfall.

“Shh.” Zhou Sheng placed his arm around Yu Hao and whispered into his ear, “There are two possible identities for the one who seized the totem: it’s either Lin Xun, or the dark Kaikai himself. On our way to the totem……”
Yu Hao, “There will be a gatekeeper.”
