The Great Dream God

Is Edward really just thinking about his future? This question is like a thick fog, constantly churning and lingering in Lisa's mind, and she can't get rid of it.

After completing the patrol mission with Lisa, Edward's expression became extremely solemn, and he fell into a deep silence. His face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He looked like he was covered by a thick layer of haze, making it difficult to understand his true thoughts. Then, he turned around without saying a word, took firm steps, and walked straight towards a remote street in Huaiyang City.

The small street is located in a corner of the city. It is usually deserted and looks particularly deserted. At this moment, under the weak afterglow of the setting sun, the small street looks more like a forgotten corner, filled with a bleak atmosphere. The houses on both sides of the street are dilapidated, and the traces of time are clearly visible on the walls. The lime has long been peeled off, revealing the mottled bricks and stones inside, as if telling the vicissitudes of the past. On the narrow street, debris is piled up randomly, and no one cleans it up, emitting a rotten smell that makes people cover their mouths and noses.

Lisa was full of doubts, and her eyes were full of puzzlement and confusion. She didn't understand why Edward suddenly walked towards this desolate place. She followed Edward closely in the crowd, and saw his figure quickly shuttled through the crowd, like a black shadow, so fast that Lisa was a little overwhelmed. Lisa struggled to keep up with his pace. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her breathing became rapid. She muttered to herself, wondering what Edward was going to do. At the same time, she carefully concealed her whereabouts and tried not to attract Edward's attention. She thought Edward should not have noticed her.

Finally, Edward stopped in front of a small house that was very hidden. The house looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, with doors and windows closed and weeds growing all around, giving it a gloomy feeling. Edward looked around, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. After confirming that no one was around, he quickly opened the door and walked into the house. Lisa was hiding in a corner not far away, watching everything nervously, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.

Edward entered the hidden little house. The light in the house was very dim, with only a few weak rays of sunlight coming in through the cracks in the old windows, making the house filled with a stale smell. The air was filled with thick dust, and every time he took a breath, he could smell the choking smell, which made him cough uncontrollably.

As soon as he entered the hidden little house, Edward saw his fellow demons. These demons had gloomy faces and a mysterious and deep look in their eyes, making it difficult to see through their inner thoughts. They sat around a shabby table and talked in low voices, as if they were discussing something important.

Edward said to his fellow demons: "Mengjin is doomed. I think the monkeys will scatter when the tree falls! In this case, I might as well present Huaiyang to Princess Ziyang, so that I can use this to gain a noble status!" His words were full of desire for power and status, and his eyes were shining with greed, as if the wealth and glory he had always dreamed of had already appeared before his eyes. His voice echoed in the dim room, sounding particularly harsh, breaking the originally oppressive atmosphere.

Hearing this, several fellow demons shook their heads. One of the tall demons stood up, and his figure looked particularly tall and mighty in the dim light. His eyes revealed a kind of firmness and majesty that no one dared to underestimate. He said, "Edward, you are wrong. All you have done is not for your own glory and wealth, but for the great cause of infiltrating the entire demon territory into the human empire! Our mission is for the future of the demons, not for personal gain. We shoulder the hope of the demons, and our actions will determine the fate of the demons!" His voice was low and powerful, full of majesty, as if it had set off a storm in this small space, making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

Edward angrily stated his position. His face became even darker, and the veins on his forehead bulged like twisted earthworms. He shouted, "I don't care about the struggle between the human empire and the demon territory! What does that have to do with me? I only care about my future, and I will be loyal to whichever force can give me a future! I don't want to sacrifice my own interests for the so-called great cause anymore, I've had enough!" His words were full of selfishness and indifference, which made people feel chilled. His eyes revealed a crazy look, as if he had lost his mind and was swallowed by desire.

Lisa heard their conversation outside the door, and was filled with shock and anger. She originally thought that Edward was an ambitious and responsible person. Unexpectedly, he was a person who would betray everything for his own interests, a selfish and unscrupulous traitor. Her heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and a chill surged from the bottom of her heart and quickly spread throughout her body. Her body trembled involuntarily, and it was a kind of fear and despair emanating from the depths of her heart.

She could no longer bear what was happening, so she turned around and left, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. Her steps were hurried, as if something terrible was chasing her. However, Edward could sense Lisa's presence. A trace of alertness flashed in his eyes, a sharp intuition like that of a wild animal. He winked at several of his companions, who immediately understood what he meant and rushed out the door.

Lisa jumped up, trying to escape from this place as soon as possible. However, just as she jumped up, her vision suddenly went dark, and a powerful force hit her face fiercely. She felt a sharp pain, as if her entire face was about to be torn apart. She had no power to resist, and was directly knocked down by this powerful force, falling heavily on the ground. She covered her face and groaned in pain. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The bright red blood was particularly dazzling on her pale face.

Lisa raised her head and looked at the sky. She saw Edward and several people wearing black robes floating in the air. These people exuded powerful magic fluctuations, which surged like a tide, making people feel an irresistible pressure. The light of magic flickered around them, forming a hazy halo that enveloped them, making them look particularly mysterious and powerful. Obviously, they were all powerful demons, spies sent by the lords of the demon territory to monitor Edward's actions.

"Huh, Lisa, do you think you can leave so easily?" Edward sneered, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule. His smile looked particularly hideous in the dim light, making people shudder. The laughter seemed to come from hell, full of evil and terror.

Lisa gnashed her teeth and looked at Edward, her heart filled with anger and despair. Her eyes were burning with anger, as if she wanted to burn Edward to ashes. She knew that she was in an extremely dangerous situation, but she did not give up her will to resist. She secretly clenched her fists, ready to fight the enemy to the death at any time.

"Edward, you traitor, you will pay for your actions!" Lisa shouted angrily. Her voice was full of firm belief, a spirit of never giving up even at the cost of death. Although she was in a difficult situation, her heart was still full of hope and courage. She believed that justice would eventually triumph over evil.

"Haha, price?!" Edward laughed arrogantly, his laughter echoing in the quiet street, sounding particularly harsh. "What do you think you can do to me? You are just a small human, how can you be a match for us demons! In front of our powerful strength, you are like an ant, insignificant!"

At this time, the demon spies that were suspended in the air slowly landed on the ground. Their footsteps were light and steady, but they brought an invisible pressure that made Lisa feel difficult to breathe. They surrounded Lisa, and their eyes revealed a cold murderous intent. It was a merciless look, as if Lisa was already a dead person in their eyes.

Lisa looked around, there was no fear in her eyes, only determination and unyielding. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that in the face of such a powerful enemy, she had to stay calm in order to find a glimmer of hope.
