She said with certainty: "Your parents are not dead."

Adele's eyes lit up.

Under the girl's expectant gaze, Noita said with certainty, "Your parents are trapped in a secret realm. It's a fleeting whisper from Typhon's eternal dream, but it's enough to disorient those below the Paragon level, making them part of the dream."

"This state lies between life and death, rendering all prophetic methods ineffective. However, Typhon's power is unparalleled. Those who stray into Typhon's dream will have their souls worn away by repeated death, ultimately becoming a complete part of Typhon's dream."

Noita casually made a judgment: "You have about ten years to rescue your parents. If you fail to do so by the end of the time, they will be buried in the snow and rest in peace forever."

This is true, but in the game, Adele missed the ten-year deadline.

The sudden good news made Adele ecstatic. Her eyes sparkled and the fatigue accumulated over the days seemed to disappear at this moment.

She couldn't wait to ask Noita: "How can I save them?"

"I don't know," Noita said helplessly. "Typhon is the ancestor of all demons. The monsters in countless legendary novels are just his offspring. I am just an ordinary mortal. How can I know how to save those trapped in his dreams?"

Adele was stunned and speechless, the light in her eyes dimmed, and a feeling of helplessness and confusion enveloped her.

The intense emotions caused by having hope and then being immediately rejected made her urgently need a calming environment, but Noita saw the imperceptible thoughtful expression on her transcendent and beautiful face.

She instinctively coordinated the information and looked for solutions that could help her.

Noita warned, "Rather than dwelling on the distant future and Typhon, you should focus on the troubles at hand. Blindly giving in seems to be only making them push their limits."

The reminder brought Adele's mind back to the present. She saw the gang members gathered at the bottom of the building, clamoring for her to come out, and a look of annoyance flashed in her eyes.

Adele said coldly, "Let them do what they want. Serkar City has a curfew, with only a few districts exempt. Although the law is now ineffective, they wouldn't dare break into my house at night and cause trouble. My parents are honorary citizens, after all. Their status is uncertain, not confirmed."

"What about this guy?"

Noita pointed to the man collapsed at the door.

Adele was also annoyed by this guy, but when she saw the crowded downstairs, she became emboldened and picked up the man and threw him out of the window, causing a burst of shouting and cursing.

The crowd's curses gave her a dark pleasure, and she couldn't help but pick up the foot washing water and pour it down. The cold water extinguished the torches, soaking the gathered people, and causing another round of curses.

After doing this, Adele clapped her hands happily, letting out the anger that had been pent up for several days.

Chapter 13: Void Realm

After dealing with the gang members, Adele looked at Noita, her tone softened, and she said frankly, "I don't know where you got this information from, but I'm very grateful for your intelligence. If you have anything you like at home, please feel free to take it away."

Noita didn't answer, her eyes were subtle.

This girl changed faster than she thought.

But it could also be evolving towards that cunning raven, which is a good thing.

Neuta, who regarded Adele as her own, was happy to see the changes. Only enough changes and experiences could help a person reach the final form. If Adele could become a complete form immediately, Neuta would only applaud. After all, if she became a complete form, Neuta would definitely not be the first to suffer.

Noita is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. If there is no chaos, how can she win in the chaos?

Adele felt uncomfortable with Noita's "I'm rooting for you" look, and she drove Noita out of the room on the pretext of wanting to sleep.

After Noitazhen left, Adele closed the curtains and ignored the noisy barking of the dog.

She sat back at her desk solemnly, looking at the unfinished house sale notice.

Originally, Adele planned to find a trustworthy friend to find a buyer for her so that she could sell the room and use the money to find a new way out.

But now she has changed her mind.

This is her home, why should she sell it? The damn gang's harassment day after day has pushed her tolerance to the limit.

It is they who should leave, not you.

The notice was crumpled into a ball and thrown into the trash can, and Adele twisted her face into an extremely invasive smile.

It's time for me to ask for help and take the initiative.

The city guards, adventurers, and the halfling of unknown origin are all forces that can be utilized.

Just wait and see. Even if it’s just for not having a good night’s sleep in the past month, these scum outside should pay the price.

Noita returned to the room and smiled. She lay on the bed, swinging her legs leisurely, and listened with interest to the cursing of the people downstairs, which became louder, less frequent, and then disappeared completely.

After everyone downstairs had left, Noita lay down on the bed, his eyes shining like stars, and his spiritual energy was consumed at an unreasonable rate.

Driven by psychic energy, her consciousness passed through the curtain between reality and virtuality and arrived at the world of psychic energy - the virtual world.

The scenery of the virtual world is ever-changing, sometimes brilliant like a sea of ​​stars, sometimes as quiet as a long night. All possibilities are born and destroyed in the magnificent torrent of spiritual energy. The century-old legend of the king and the kingdom is just a cluster of splashes in this torrent, fleeting and difficult to last.

Shamans reverently call it the High Heaven, priests believe it is the kingdom of the gods, and mages believe it contains eternal secrets...

In different professions and among different populations, the virtual world has different images and characteristics, and these parallel and even conflicting characteristics are possessed by the virtual world. It truly contains everything.

The virtual world seems to treat all living beings equally without any harsh words, and does not reject any adventurer who is curious about it.

But the mage knew that in the face of the Void Realm, there was one group that was more equal than the others, and that was the psychics.

——People with awakened psychic powers often know more secrets of the virtual world than others and can obtain more gifts and conveniences at a lower cost.

After burning two-thirds of her psychic energy, Noita arrived at the only safe place in the virtual world. She stood firmly on the ground and landed in a huge crystal-colored city in the form of a psychic image.

Meng Xiangtian, the supreme god who controls the Mirror Heaven Path, used his unparalleled power to build a huge and exquisite infinite city in the virtual world. It is called the Gate City, which allows psychics from all over the world to ignore the barriers of space and communicate.

You have arrived at the Gate City. An unknown spirit casts a glance at you, and your spiritual energy is slightly increased. Once you reach the Gate City, you no longer need spiritual energy to maintain contact, but please do not indulge in it, as this may cause your real body to die from lack of nutrients.

The moment he landed, Noita transformed into a small black cat, moving swiftly through the streets and alleys of Gate City.

The god's glance did not add any burden to Noita's heart.

Just because this is a necessary process, the long-sleeping Dream Sky will cast a long dream glance at all those who arrive at the Gate City for the first time, leaving an imperceptible mark on them.

There is no need to worry about this matter.

No one lives in the streets of Gate City. They only serve as roads. If Noita wants, these streets can immediately turn into golden wheat fields or underwater tunnels. The route of Gate City is never fixed, only the destination remains unchanged.

After running for a while, Noita saw a tall tower.

Walking in, the interior layout is quite simple. The first thing you see is a wall with a painting hanging on it. In front of the wall stands a psychic entity that looks like an orange ice cream ball. It is the introducer of the Gate City and will introduce the situation of this place to newcomers.

The psychic entity came forward to meet them.

Noita said quickly, "skip."

The psychic entity hadn't heard of "skip," but it understood what Noita was trying to say, which was that there was no need to elaborate, she understood this.

The psychic entity then took its leave.

The painting on the wall is the entrance to the public area. There is a half-closed purple curtain door painted on it. The gate city where Noita is currently located is her private domain. Behind the painting is everyone's gate city. It is the place where psychics and professionals communicate, and news from all over the world is gathered there.

In simple terms, the Gate City is equivalent to a fantasy network. The side of the picture is the stand-alone mode, and the other side is the online mode. The only difference is that psychics have private Gate Cities with Creator Mode turned on, and can access the Gate City by consuming psychic energy, while groups other than psychics can only access the public Gate City through spells and specific equipment.

Noita showed the curiosity and caution typical of a newcomer and walked into the public area.

Just let me see if I can catch any fish.

A kitten walked out of the public interface and looked at the world behind the painting curiously.

It was a tavern-like space, with white stone walls and a single white stone pillar at its center, its summit reaching out to the crimson ceiling, unreachable by sight. An alder bar surrounded the pillar. Numerous intelligent beings gathered at the tables, chatting cheerfully, but a few sat alone, enjoying their own company. The kitten glanced around and saw races like humans, elves, dwarves, demons, orcs, and so on.

The tavern is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people for meetings and fights. The black wooden floating windows dance like musical notes on the white stone walls. Visitors only need to look up to see the white moon, misty mountains, vast ocean, gem coral reefs and other scenic spots through the sixteen windows.

Dozens of picture frames were hung in every empty corner of the tavern, and hundreds of fantasy bubbles hung overhead, shining like stars.

When staring at a painting or a bubble star, a message will appear in Noita's mind, and the log will show the same text simultaneously.

……

The black cat stared at the light ball and the painting blankly, as if shocked.

Someone noticed this newcomer who had just walked out of the public port. She walked over here, picked up the kitten with one hand and put it on the bar.

"Hello, are you new?"

"..." The black cat didn't answer, as if it hadn't come back to its senses yet.

The lady holding the kitten was not in a hurry. She asked for a glass of sweet wine and waited for the black cat to understand the situation.

After a long while, the lady heard the black cat exclaim: "Wow, so magical. Hey, who are you, sister?"

"My name is Night Dove. You can call me Ms. Dove." Night Dove said, "Is this your first time in Gate City?"

Noita nodded vigorously: "Yes, first time!"

Ye Ge was calm and introduced himself skillfully: "I'm the volunteer manager of this area. You can think of me as a volunteer who provides consulting services to newcomers."

Noita nodded to show that she understood, and Ye Ge stopped talking nonsense and told her the precautions.

"First, you must remember that you cannot reveal your real situation to anyone. Exposing your real address in the virtual world is like a demon broadcasting your real name. Someone could come knocking at your door at any time..."

Noita looked surprised, but was actually twirling his tail absentmindedly.

Fishing failed.

There was no one with bad intentions trying to trick her into giving away her offline information, but now she'd have to listen to people nagging her for a while.

Chapter 14: The Heart of Incitement

1. The real situation must never be exposed.

2. The gathering points of the public gate city are distributed, and the tavern is just an inconspicuous one among them. As long as you focus your mind on the glowing bubbles or paintings, you can reach their corresponding gathering points.

3. Do not rashly enter privately developed gathering points.

4. Don’t trust strangers easily. The people in the Gate City are all wearing virtual images. Under the skin they may be ogres or other things.

……

Ms. Yege didn't stop talking until Noita listened to all the precautions about the Gate City that she was familiar with in her previous life.

She suggested, "The Synesthesia Association can provide you with some assistance systems to make your life in Gate City better."

"Yeah!" Noita nodded vigorously, indicating that she had listened to all the precautions.

She raised her left front paw and asked curiously, "Why do some guests laugh while sitting alone, even though there's nothing in front of them?"

Ye Ge replied, "They are using synesthesia beacons to communicate with people who are not here. When you go to the Synesthesia Association, the staff there will also provide you with beacons. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The Synesthesia Beacon is a communication software based on the unique characteristics of the Gate City. Dreams created the Gate City so that people can gather and sing praises together. The Connection Beacon further shortens the remaining space, allowing people to communicate in real time.

"If I want to read a book, where can I go?"

"The Society of Intellectual Knowledge's public database is open to everyone. It's said to connect to the Path of Spiritual Brilliance and contain all the knowledge in the world. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but the amount of knowledge it stores is enormous and can solve most problems. Any questions?"

"No more, thank you, sister."

"That's it, remember not to reveal the reality to others."

Noita's well-behaved appearance made Ye Ge feel at ease, so he patted her head and said, "See you again if we're lucky."

"Goodbye sister!"

Night Pigeon left calmly.

What she didn't know was that Noita had heard the precautions dozens of times and had already memorized them.

The so-called precautions are not mandatory. They were formulated by the Adventurer's Association to remind newcomers to be careful of the dangers lurking beneath the prosperous surface of Mencheng. The effect is indeed quite good, as the number of malicious incidents where newcomers are robbed by bad guys due to revealing their real addresses has dropped rapidly.

It's just that Noita is a little depressed. She pretends to be a newcomer with an easy-going temperament just to fish for a chance to make a fortune.

Unfortunately, Ye Ge's arrival ruined her plan.

But it was harmless, she didn't have much hope for this trick anyway.

Noita jumped off the bar, walked over to the frame marked Synesthesia Association and jumped in.

The frame ripples, engulfing Noita.

Just like after the illusion of weightlessness, Noita landed in a larger gathering place. The layout of the Synesthesia Association was similar to the previous tavern, with bubbles, picture frames and central pillars, but the overall color tone was cooler.

A psychic entity in the shape of a ball of light came forward. It was a staff member of the association.
