Under the intense stimulation from its own guide, Song Kefeng fiercely pounded the mine for half an hour, finally breaking through the shackles of his mental power and successfully advancing to Level 2. His current mental power value was 18/20, which was considered quite high among the few with Level 2 mental powers.
After finishing mining, he casually picked two players from the level rankings and gave them a beating. Then, feeling refreshed, he left the Dream World. However, as soon as he returned to the real world, he received an urgent distress call from Zhang Zhi.
“Captain! Hurry to the Global Mall in the West City! There are three brazen robbers robbing the jewelry on the first floor! They are wearing strange bulletproof vests, and their speed is incredibly fast. They’re about to escape! They seriously injured Old Liu and killed four security guards!!” Zhang Zhi’s voice was filled with anger and frustration.
Song Kefeng’s eyes turned extremely sharp in an instant. Without a word, he grabbed his jacket and left, not riding a police motorcycle or driving a police car. He simply used a Lightning Card and arrived at the West City Global Mall like a flash of lightning.
When he arrived, he saw the three arrogant robbers, each carrying a large bag, laughing excitedly and arrogantly. Their speed was much faster than an average person’s, clearly enhanced by their improved physical abilities from the Dream World.
When they saw Song Kefeng standing straight ahead, casually lighting a cigarette, their arrogance waned a bit. “Who are you? Why are you standing here? Get out of the way, or we’ll kick you–ah!!”
Before the robber finished his sentence, he felt a sudden and intense pain in his abdomen and was sent flying. He couldn’t believe that he had been kicked by an ordinary person and it hurt so much!
Thud!!
As the robber crashed to the ground, he saw his health points drop, and his shock turned to terror as he realized that two-thirds of his health had been kicked away. He coughed up blood and stared at it in disbelief.
Song Kefeng held the cigarette in his mouth, his expression indifferent, not saying a word. He kicked away the other two robbers who were now cautious and had activated the Martial Arts Master Card to defend themselves. But compared to the deadly techniques and killing abilities of Captain Song, they didn’t last more than three rounds.
As other officers rushed out with anger on their faces, they saw their captain, who had taken a ten-day leave and had been absent from work recently, standing there smoking and stepping on the three subdued robbers with an imposing aura.
“Master!!” Zhang Zhi rushed over with excitement and a sense of finding a backbone, but Captain Song disdainfully pushed him away, nodding at the other officers.
“Zhang Zhi and I will take these three back. You guys take Old Liu to the hospital.”
Wherever Song Kefeng was present, there was an atmosphere of order. The other officers nodded excitedly, taking the injured to the police car. As they passed by the three robbers, each officer gave them a ruthless kick. Song Kefeng made no attempt to stop them.
After he threw the three completely incapacitated robbers into the car, Zhang Zhi sat in the driver’s seat and couldn’t help but ask, “Master, did you come too quickly this time? I just called you, and you were already here!”
Song Kefeng bit the cigarette butt and looked at him, “Night run.”
Zhang Zhi’s mouth twitched. As far as he knew, his master’s home was in the east of the city, and they were currently in the west. Running in a city like this late at night, he couldn’t help but be in awe.
But at this moment, Song Kefeng had no time to talk to his silly apprentice. He was listening to 110 explaining about the “Devouring” among guides. Now that he had captured these three Dream World criminals, he couldn’t let them escape again with the help of the Dream World’s magical items.
But even so, hearing about the “Devouring” between guides made him feel uneasy. He didn’t want these three to become his slaves. Even though they were criminals, they still had basic human rights.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
If he chose to fully devour the guides of these three, it would likely cause them to lose a significant amount of health and mental power, possibly leading to death or disability. This made Song Kefeng hesitant.

The next morning, the news reported the extremely severe late-night robbery. After Mo Yang dragged his boyfriend back from exercise, he saw the news. Despite the news anchor’s use of mild and euphemistic terms, Mo Yang still noticed the panic in society and the escalating rumors about “special abilities” that had been buzzing for the past week.
[Shit, my buddy is the security guard in that Global Mall! There’s a video, there’s evidence! Those three robbers smashed the bulletproof glass with their bare hands! And when the police arrived and shot at them, they didn’t even dodge! The black clothes they were wearing could completely resist bullets! If a more powerful policeman hadn’t arrived later, those three could have just run away with the gold bars!! #Video#]
[Yes, yes, I work the night shift, and I happened to be nearby at the time. I saw that super amazing cop who rushed over, and he kicked one of the suspects flying!! How much strength does he have?]
[Damn, is the spiritual energy in this world starting to recover? Or did something suddenly change, like in the novels, and people are gaining special abilities or becoming cultivators?! I can’t help but feel that those posts and topics might be true! Recently, many people have suddenly become rich overnight, and some girls have turned beautiful, while men have grown taller and stronger!]
[You’re right! I know this guy who used to be a street thug, harassing people everywhere. But a few days ago, he suddenly became rich, claiming he found a piece of gold. I believe his story! He’s been acting weird, staying at home all day and sometimes screaming in pain or rejoicing like crazy. What’s going on?!]
Even the most clueless people tend to remember the unsettling incidents around them. They only need a trigger to open the box of their memories.
Consequently, there was a surge of related discussions and topics on the internet, and some computer experts even managed to access foreign websites, bringing back news of unusual and violent events occurring overseas, along with reports of numerous superheroes and supervillains.
This topic seemed to explode overnight. Some fantasized about awakening special powers and becoming heroes, while others dismissed it as baseless rumors. However, what puzzled many rational people was that in the past, the government would quickly control or refute such rumors. But this time, the online discussions became more and more intense, yet there were no major actions from the government. They merely banned some excessively outspoken celebrities and groups.
Mo Yang read the messages in his hand and felt that the higher-ups in the government probably already knew something and had some ideas. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have acted this way. They were probably grappling with whether to suppress the matter or inform the public.
As he thought about this, Mo Yang’s phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was unknown, but Mo Yang was certain about the caller’s identity.
“It’s me,” Mo Yang answered.
On the other end of the line, Tang Mian’s relieved voice came, “Fish Head! Good thing you answered. Grandpa wants to talk to you and discuss something.”
Mo Yang hesitated for a moment upon hearing Tang Mian’s words, and after a while, he nodded, “Sure, put grandpa on the line.”
Soon, a calm and dignified voice came through the phone, “Is this Little Yang?”
Mo Yang sighed lightly, “Yes, Grandpa. Are you feeling better now?”
Grandpa Tang’s voice carried a hint of a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Thanks to you.”
Mo Yang didn’t say anything more. The last four words from Grandpa Tang already conveyed something.
“Little Yang, I just want to ask, is the content in the weight loss book you gave to Tang Mian reliable? He followed the exercises for over half a month but didn’t lose weight and even gained some. It’s a concern for me.”
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Mo Yang’s mouth, “Grandpa, Tang Mian and I have been friends since childhood. Why would I give him a book if I didn’t care about him? That book was something I worked hard to find for him. If he didn’t lose weight, it means he didn’t take it seriously and lacked perseverance. The content in the book is absolutely genuine.”
Grandpa Tang’s grip on the phone tightened slightly, “Alright, I’ll have the kid try harder.”
“By the way, I heard you recently joined a research company. How are the company’s benefits and working conditions? Are you doing well there? If not, come back. It’s been determined that your father’s case was a miscarriage of justice. If you come forward, I can help talk to the authorities.”
Mo Yang understood the concern in his grandfather’s words, and his heart felt a bit bitter, but he still refused, “Grandpa, I’m doing well here. Besides, there’s a lot of advanced technology in this company. More and more people want to join and make a decent living here. I need to earn something for myself, at the very least, to protect you and our family. Don’t worry, you always said I was the smartest and most clever since childhood. I can take care of myself; there’s no need for me to come forward.”
Grandpa Tang heard this answer, not surprised, but still somewhat disappointed and worried. He wanted to say more, but seeing his grandson gesturing urgently, he could only give Mo Yang a stern look before handing the phone to his eldest grandson.
After that, Tang Mian took the phone and reported to his comrade Fish Head: “Sun XiaoGuai has been in great shape recently, but there was a girl I suspect came from the same place as her, named Liu Meimei.”
“She suddenly had a mental breakdown and was admitted to the hospital. So, I investigated both Liu Meimei and Sun XiaoGuai. They were very close friends, but their families were average, and they both dreamed of becoming stars. On December 31st last year, the day of the meteor shower, they went out together, and when they came back, their behavior seemed unusual and agitated.”
Mo Yang nodded. “I see. You should tell Grandpa about this. And also, let him know that this matter needs a resolution. There are many rumors circulating, and people’s hearts are unstable. It’s not a good situation.”
Tang Mian thought about the recent increase in various events and agreed. “I understand. I’ll do that. You take care.”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Mian looked at his grandfather. His grandfather had stepped back from the frontline for several years, but now he was dressed in his military uniform, with neatly arranged military medals, like an old poplar tree, weathered and unbending, his eyes filled with determination.
“Let’s go. Bring that weight loss book with you and follow me to see the leaders and generals. This matter can’t be delayed anymore, regardless of whether it’s true or not. The world is about to become chaotic.”
Tang Mian’s legs went weak for a moment, nearly stumbling, but his grandfather hit him on the back with a stick. “Look at your lack of determination! Little Yang is still undercover in that organization! And you can’t muster the courage to meet someone?!”
Tang Mian couldn’t help but feel a headache. This was probably the umpteenth time his grandfather praised Fish Head while scolding him. Even though Fish Head was now a fugitive, tsk.
Tang Mian thought that meeting with the leaders and generals would be a serious and frightening matter. However, when he actually met them, he mustered up his courage.
Under the watchful eyes of the top leaders of the country, he took out the weight loss book and projected its pages one by one.
“This is Fish Head’s, uh, Mo Yang, book that he gave me eight days ago. The crossed-out words are code. Using these codes on the cipher, I found the corresponding words and put together the secret message we used to discuss as kids, something only the two of us knew.”
“Although these words seem chaotic, I can guarantee that I’m not joking. We were talking inside a sealed car with absolutely no eavesdropping devices. Mo Yang didn’t dare to tell me the truth at that time, which shows he was probably under surveillance. I don’t understand why he was so honest and didn’t resist, but if the extraterrestrials controlled him mentally, then it would make sense. If he spoke, he might have been turned into a fool. Just like those suddenly increased cases of mental patients.”
“And, Mo Yang also sent me some documents. Take a look, leaders! These are news of people suddenly changing over the past two months, and there’s also an increase in violent incidents.”
“Although it might seem like those people were just extremely lucky, a few cases could be considered exceptions, but you can’t explain thousands of these cases as exceptions! Leaders, you have to believe Mo Yang! Although he did some extreme things before, he’s definitely a patriotic and just person! He’s just a bit strong-willed and independent, but in this matter, he wouldn’t joke around!!”
“Spreading this message is extremely dangerous, and he must have already prepared himself for punishment and sacrifice by those extraterrestrials. So, please, based on his contributions, can you pardon his sins? He’s still fighting desperately in the extraterrestrial’s mental world right now!!”
As Tang Mian became more and more excited, he almost burst into tears at the end. The security guards quickly restrained him, and upon the leader’s signal, he was asked to sit down.
Then the leader looked at the others present and said, “Let’s all share our thoughts.”
“…This matter is somewhat absurd. If it’s revealed easily, it might cause public panic.”
“We need more information to confirm. We can’t jump to conclusions too quickly.”
“Aren’t these sudden incidents already numerous enough? We can’t wait any longer; it’ll be hard to control!”
“Indeed, the public opinion is already in chaos, and there have been similar disturbances abroad. I think we should take it seriously.”
“…Leader, I believe this is true.”
In the midst of the discussion, a voice suddenly spoke up from behind a general, drawing everyone’s attention. It was a military officer.
“Tianqiang, what do you mean by that?”
Xing Tianqiang took a deep breath and explained the matter that Song Kefeng had wanted to tell him earlier.
“Song Kefeng is a former special forces king from the 79th Regiment. He made multiple achievements during his service and was selected for the international peacekeeping forces, where he displayed great bravery and received numerous special commendations. Afterward, he became a criminal investigator and cracked many major cases.”
“Eight days ago, he suddenly contacted me to share something important. However, during our conversation, he paused twice as if suffering from intense headaches. This reaction occurred while he was trying to tell me something. I thought it might have been an old injury acting up, but now I realize that he may have also entered that extraterrestrial-created world, sensing its danger and horrors, and wanted to inform the leaders through me, but he failed.”
Xing Tianqiang sighed, “I apologize; this was my oversight.”
Compared to Tang Mian’s unreliable explanation and Mo Yang’s fugitive status, after Xing Tianqiang mentioned Song Kefeng’s situation, the people in the room became noticeably more serious. After all, Song Kefeng was more trustworthy in every aspect than Mo Yang. Therefore, there was a high probability that this matter was true.
The leader remained silent for a moment, then tapped the table and said, “In that case, let’s take some action. Send people to approach those who might have been invaded by extraterrestrials and verify this information. Then, conduct a nationwide screening and list all suspicious individuals.”
“As for the potential invasion, let the relevant strategists prepare in advance.”
Aaaa song kefeng you need to see that mo yang will be able to more easily pass messages than you!! Work together please!
I am so happy that mo yang has a friend like tang mian
Now, you’re special, Mu Feng!
