Chapter 786 — Return to Reality

Gao Yang had already decided: he would find a way to intervene in the Sleepers' subsequent operations, and even... when they opened Sandbox One, find a way inside to see for himself!
Amber had grown used to Gao Yang's occasional spells of blank staring. Deftly she tucked the seeds back into the snack box before her, and while continuing to crack them with a crunch, she said, "Things over there got bigger, huh?"
"Mm." Gao Yang gave a vague sound of assent, his gaze falling on Amber.
Matters inside the psychic network demanded attention, and so did matters in the real world.
The figure of Selina Gellfen surfaced in his mind.
"Amber—is the search assignment I gave you still underway?"
"You mean the whereabouts of that Selina Gellfen?" Amber nodded. "Still investigating, and I've already got a highly suspect target..."
"A highly suspect target?" Gao Yang's eyebrows lifted, and he asked with some surprise, "What is it?"
"The Kant region and the Golan region—for now I've narrowed it down to these two suspect locations," Amber said, setting down her seeds and clapping her hands, her face serious. "The former has seen the appearance of a Sleeper cult 'relic' like the 'Dream Lantern'; the latter... Patti's crown is a very worthy object of suspicion.
"If Selina Gellfen is using magical artifacts to transfer her soul, then these two objects are the prime suspects—both could be 'vessels.'
"Of course, the Dream Lantern has now been moved to Xuanyao City, but Rebecca has already taken it apart into components, and Kamael has studied it many times over. We can confirm that its interior is 'empty,' so I believe that if it was a vessel, Selina must have already departed from it before then..."
Amber analyzed the situation with clear, methodical reasoning, and Gao Yang's gaze toward her grew more and more surprised.
It seemed that even if he had not obtained a key clue on this expedition, this goose before him, relying on the intelligence at her disposal, would sooner or later find a lead on Selina Gellfen—and even if she could not directly pin down Patti herself, she could narrow the scope to those around the latter.
Gao Yang froze for a moment, then shook his head, cutting off what Amber was about to say next.
"Make the arrangements. I'm going to Golan."
Amber's eyes slowly widened.
After studying Gao Yang's expression for a second, she blurted out: "Oh my god... so all my work these past few days was for nothing?"
Gao Yang: "..."
How had this one gotten sharper and sharper lately?
