Chapter 56 Information Interference

Night fell (a little past nine o'clock), and the realm of dreams once again belonged to Ye Feifan... Now it was his time.

Quite a few lucky individuals once again suffered the strike of dream-fishing, but at the end of the day, they were still the same old acquaintances.

Old Hei was given the very last of Ye Feifan's vitality fluid. He needed to acquire new vitality fluid to continue his cultivation, which was why Liu Decai and the others were deliberately targeted.

After throwing the fished-up dream fish into the dream-refining furnace, Ye Feifan spared some time to observe the plot card he had won from the lottery.

The content on the card was a misty snowflake against a dark background, revealing no discernible meaning.

"Use the [Despair and Wail] plot card!"

"Nightmare-tier side quest [Despair and Wail]: Deep in the dead of night, whose pain has awakened the demon...

Go to the Qing Pavilion in Tianzi City late at night, search for that abandoned weeping, find the truth, and survive until dawn to complete the quest.

Rewards are distributed based on the performance of the plot: a guaranteed minimum of one lottery ticket, five thousand points, and one newspaper.

If the quest fails, a one-month reset is required before it can be attempted again."

"What the fu... holy shi..." As soon as the quest appeared, Ye Feifan instantly burst out with profanities.

Right off the bat, it was a nightmare-tier card, and there was no description provided before use—the system was definitely slacking off.

Looking again at the location, the Qing Pavilion, wasn't that right next door to the Yingbing Pavilion... He could sneak in through the back door of the Qing Pavilion.

"Should I..." Vehemently shaking his head, Ye Feifan abandoned the suicidal idea and somewhat regretted sending Old Hei and the others out.

Left all by himself and under surveillance, he was certainly no match for the Liu family. It was better to keep a low profile and lay low for a while.

Living in the Yingbing Pavilion, whether he would undertake the side quest [I Want to Find You] depended on whether there would be a thunderstorm tonight. If not, he wouldn't do it; if it came, he would go take a look.

The commotion at the Yingbing Pavilion last night most likely meant she had returned, and that husband of hers might even be a hidden sentinel.

"Heaven hasn't rained at a time like this, so it probably won't rain tonight either."

Silently offering a prayer, Ye Feifan took out the two newspapers and one letter he had received as rewards, intending to uncover the root of the problem from them.

The newspapers were old ones from the seventies and eighties, and the letter had turned somewhat yellowish—it was hard to imagine it was a letter sent by a best friend.

"Let's look at the newspaper first..." Since the matter concerned his childhood sweetheart, Ye Feifan intended to calm his emotions before analyzing the situation involving Hua Wenliu.

"《Guangming W Daily: Midnight Knocking on the Door (Part 1)》..."

"《Guangming W Daily: Midnight Knocking on the Door (Part 2)》..."

Looking at the newspaper headlines, a sound like murmuring echoed in his ears, and Ye Feifan's heart tightened instantly.

The name of the newspaper office wasn't strange, but what was strange was that the titles of the newspaper articles were identical to the name of the side quest!

The previous newspapers all bore the names of real, existing newspaper offices, but these two newspapers right before his eyes carried the same press name, a detail that made him somewhat chilled to the bone.

"Is this a prank by the system... or just a coincidence?"

Both newspapers were from the same press, so the appearance of "Midnight Knocking on the Door" must be a coincidence, right...

Fraught with shock and suspicion, Ye Feifan quietly continued reading.

"The reporter from W Daily brings everyone the latest news. Today, we are interviewing Zhang Long from the Zhang family. Let us see what kind of story he brings us."

Following the introductory text was the reporter's narration, explaining the characters and the purpose, immediately followed by an illustration... The illustration featured a young boy whose age appeared roughly similar to his own ten years ago.

The date... Ten years ago!

Glancing at the date on the newspaper, Ye Feifan was dumbfounded. Did this not mean that there was a newspaper office from Blue Star located in Tianzi City?

Zhang Long was the ominous entity inside the ghost cabinet!

"Hello, Zhang Long. We are reporters from Guangming W Daily, and we would like to interview you. Is that all right?"

"Of course, I have grievances to redress!"

"How did you die?"

"How did I die... Let me think... I was drowned by Zhang Da..."

"Give us the details, we will record every single word."

"Alright, that day we..."
