Su Lu stood before a black corridor, a look of hesitation on his face.

This corridor was peculiar, resembling a ring, with a crimson carpet and flesh-colored walls, as if it were a strand of intestines.

On either side, there were all sorts of strange ‘doors’.

Some were green ears, others were covered in numerous eyes, and some were even monstrous, gaping mouths.

“Is this… the memory of Guy Mokum?”

Su Lu muttered to himself, gazing at the door panels on both sides.

After defeating Guy and holding him captive, everything else fell into place.

He secured Guy in a safe location and used various methods to break through his mind defense, using ‘Mind Magic’ to directly access the deep recesses of his subconscious memory.

Now, the only task left was to find the necessary information.

“[Dream Master]!”

After some thought, Su Lu called out.

Although his voice was soft, reverberations echoed within the corridor.

The faint echo kept resounding, and from somewhere came an unanticipated ‘response’!

“As I thought…”

Su Lu walked towards the source of the response with a smile on his face.

‘I intentionally mentioned the [Dream Master] in front of Guy to deepen the impression. Even if he didn’t know beforehand, he would ask or inquire when he got back… This would inevitably leave puzzles for me.’

‘Of course… if the Ancient Snake Society offers a good price, then a deal could be considered.’

‘But… they’re all lunatics, so let’s forget it!’

Without a sound, he walked on the scarlet carpet, and every step left a deep indentation as the carpet felt like it was made of flesh.

After circling halfway around, Su Lu spotted the ‘source’ of the sound.

It was a pitch-black iron door, its surface was rusted, and heavy chains were wrapped around the handle.

‘Seal of memory?’

Upon seeing the chains, his eyes sparkled.

Even besides the [Odd Technician], there were other hypnosis or interrogation methods that could retrieve memories. So, established supernatural forces, especially the hidden cultist organizations, would definitely have some kind of memory sealing spell.

To Su Lu, however, this was like shouting at him– ‘Come look, there’s good stuff here!’

“Such a move… looks like an [Odd Technician]’s style.”

Su Lu stared at the chains, pondered for a moment, and a pale spirit chain appeared on his right hand.

Under his command, the spirit chain wrapped around the iron door and passed through the gaps in the black chains.

Sizzle!

The black chains, as if startled awake, transformed into a black iron snake, and bit at the spirit chain fiercely.

Click!

A small mouth appeared on the spirit chain.

Looking at this, Su Lu was not surprised but delighted, continually baiting the black iron snake into attacking.

Because the sealing power was finite, much like water without a source, a tree without roots, whereas the spirit chain had its own replenishment. Even though it had weak points, it wouldn’t be afraid of the wear and tear.

Hiss!

In the fight between the two toxic pythons, the spirit chain managed to suppress the black iron snake in the end.

With a mournful hiss, the black iron snake turned back into chains. But the surface had become rusted, with many notches added.

“It’s about time…”

A shimmer of light flashed in Su Lu’s eyes: “Mind magic!”

A silver halo spread from his body, enveloping the iron door.

Clang!

The chain broke and fell off automatically.

Seeing this, the hint of a smile appeared on Su Lu’s lips. With the spread of inspiration, he grabbed the handle cautiously and pushed open the iron door.

“Elder… where are we going?”

Su Lu saw Guy Mokum in hunting attire with a felt hat, seeming to be a very ordinary hunter.

Across from him was an old man dressed in a linen robe, bald and white-eyebrowed.

The two were immersed in conversation, completely ignoring Su Lu beside them.

Of course, because this was just a fragment of memory.

‘Elder? The Ancient Snake Society practices ‘Elder System’, where each Elder must be a rank 4 or above occupational person! This old fart… I don’t know him!’

Su Lu examined carefully only to find the man unfamiliar.

However, in Guy Mokum’s memory, the man was quickly identified.

He was Elder Bukadi, one of the thirteen Elders of the Ancient Snake Society, codenamed ‘Mysterious’!

Each Elder of the Ancient Snake Society has a prefix, such as ‘Wisdom’, ‘War’, ‘Light-Dark’… etc., portraying a presumptuous attitude as if they’ve already ruled the world and have the Seven Major Orthodox underneath their feet, demoted as their servants.

In reality, the thirteen Elders each commanded different forces, power structures were highly decentralized, and there are even vacancies.

But when Black Kos and Moron returned, changes have occurred within the Ancient Snake Society. At least in the council of Elders, an additional ‘Profane Elder’ has emerged.

“We’re going to Lore city… there, our lord will manifest his miracles!”

‘Mysterious Elder’ Bukadi looked in one direction, his expression devout.

In the next scene, the setting changed to an apartment. Su Lu also saw himself.

Just like a fast forward in a movie, he manipulated this memory fragment, hastening it to the scene following the night of Guy’s departure.

In the Devil’s Rose bar.

“This is what I’ve found…”

Guy bowed, facing Elder Bukadi.

The Elder was flipping through some documents at the time, which were surprisingly the batch Su Lu gave to Margaret!

Lifting his head, a faint light appeared in his murky eyes: “The [Dream Master]? How do you feel about him? Has he reached the level of the [Odd Technician]?”

Bukadi seemed a bit excited.

“I don’t know… I chose not to act!” Guy bowed and said: “If that’s what you want, I’ll go back immediately…”

“No need, I believe the will of the Ancient Serpent will lead him here of his own accord.”

Bukadi gradually regained his calm: “I have the [Dream Master]’s inheritance in my hand, and when the time comes… I’ll ‘check’ him myself!”

Saying this, Elder Bukadi suddenly smiled at an empty space.

At the invisible position, Su Lu’s face immediately turned cold.

The direction Bukadi was aiming at was no other than his location!

‘Did he discover me? No… this is just a memory fragment, and it’s been twisted!’

Su Lu rapidly exited the room, only to find an equally bad situation in the corridor.

Cracks were appearing on the walls, oozing large amounts of blood.

The red carpet on the floor had turned into a swamp, generating a terrifying suction force.

“Was it because the important memory was observed, triggering a counterattack, or was it another set trap?”

Su Lu quickly exited the Mental Secret Realm, returning to his own body.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw the restrained Guy across him with a ferocious expression, muscles distorting, and numerous mouse-like substances creeping under his skin.

“Mutation? Loss of control? Curse?”

Su Lu’s face turned cold, his revolver aimed directly at Guy’s temple and he fired a Demon Breaking Bullet.

Bang!
