Chapter 279 No Brain Damage

Actually, when Hao Ren's body disappeared into the Dream Plane, his consciousness hadn't completely left this space. Becky's last words still faintly floated into his mind. Unfortunately, he couldn't say anything, he could only roar in his heart: "My brain really isn't damaged!"

"Landlord, Landlord, are you alright?" Nangong Wuyue's voice suddenly and clearly entered his ears. Hao Ren opened his eyes and saw the bright sunlight slanting down, so dazzling that he could barely open his eyes. The sound of waves crashing against the reefs and the strange roars of wild beasts echoed around him, and his nostrils were filled with a slightly fishy ocean smell.

Nangong Wuyue saw Hao Ren open his eyes and revealed a bright smile: "What did you encounter over there? What 'brain isn't damaged'?"

Hao Ren: "... Uh, nothing."

It seemed that at the last moment before waking up, he hadn't been able to control himself and had accidentally shouted out what he was thinking.

Hao Ren sat up, letting his slightly sluggish mind slowly become active. The fleeting glimpse of the Leta Runes he'd seen before waking up was still vivid in his mind. The biggest difference between the Dream Plane and ordinary dreams was that everything seen in the Dream Plane was unusually clear, and there was absolutely no memory blurriness after waking up. On the contrary, as you continued to recall, the things you'd seen in the Dream Plane would become clearer and clearer. Therefore, Hao Ren was sure that what he had seen were Leta Runes. He raised his head and glanced at Izhaks and Nangong Wuyue: "Last night, I went into the Dream Plane and saw something strange there… Leta Runes."

Izhaks came from another world and was unfamiliar with Leta Runes, so he just grunted an acknowledgement. Nangong Wuyue, however, was a siren with some experience, and she seemed to have had a lot of dealings with demon hunters, so she immediately widened her eyes: "Leta Runes? Are you talking about those runes that ancient missionaries and those demon hunters use often?"

"Yes, they appear in the Dream Plane. The local residents painted these symbols on the walls, but I can't see what those runes are for… Vivian should know how to translate Leta Runes. Uh, maybe I should quickly find a piece of paper and write them down, or I might forget them in a moment."

"I have one here," Nangong Wuyue quickly found a notebook from her luggage, "Originally, I was planning to write sheet music in it."

Hao Ren took the notebook and copied the Leta Runes he had seen in that last glance, relying on his memory. He felt that his instantaneous memory was quite strong, at least he remembered a line. Perhaps there were problems with the way some of the symbols were written, but he tried as much as possible to draw the general outlines of these symbols: Leta Runes were a very distinctive hieroglyphic script, and the outline of each symbol was very unique. As long as the general outline was drawn, Vivian should still be able to recognize them.

"By the way, how do you know about the Dream Plane?" After Hao Ren finished writing, he returned the notebook to Nangong Wuyue. Only then did he remember that the siren girl was a newcomer to his house, so he asked curiously.

"Your data terminal told me," Nangong Wuyue pointed to the PDA floating beside Hao Ren. "Last night, after you fell asleep, it suddenly jumped up and shouted something about 'accidentally falling', and then told me about the Dream Plane. Oh, right, just now it also said that you were observing something very important, and told me to try to find a way to let you sleep a little longer. I sang you a lullaby, did it work?"

Hao Ren finally knew what the vague singing he had heard in the last few minutes before waking up was all about. He slightly recalled that magical melody and found that even just recalling it, an incredible sense of peace would slowly permeate from the bottom of his heart, as if the singing possessed magic and had penetrated his spiritual world. The siren's racial talent was once again amazing: "Yeah, it worked pretty well, at least it delayed it by four minutes. I saw the most important part… Oh no, I forgot something!"

"What's wrong?" The data terminal immediately floated over, "If you say you forgot to sell this unit, this unit will smash your head."

"Go away," Hao Ren casually pressed the data terminal into a pile of gravel, "The last time I left, I promised that wolf king that I would find a way to bring a dentist to his subordinates… This time I didn't remember it at all, and he didn't mention it either!"

"Obviously, they didn't expect a human to keep his promise," the data terminal crawled out of the pile of gravel, with half a piece of dried seaweed still hanging on its body. "Don't worry about it. Just compensate them next time you go. This time you didn't bring the husky anyway—and to be honest, whether you can bring a living person into the Dream Plane is a problem in itself. I guess you'll need Raven 12345 to provide technical support."

Hao Ren thought about it and figured that was right. Moreover, the bizarre clues he had seen in the Dream Plane had to be reported to Raven 12345. This matter could be discussed after returning, so he patted his head and shifted his attention to the current task: "Let's hurry up and find people… Terminal, have you found that cargo container? You've been scanning all night."

"Being a PDA is really a hard life, working non-stop all day long. Even when you're sleeping, this unit has to be your bodyguard and radar at the same time," the data terminal hummed and opened the holographic map, which showed more detailed and ultra-precise images that had penetrated deep underground and into the seabed. "Currently, three suspected locations have been found, all with impact marks or energy reactions. They should be the wreckage of the cargo container and transport equipment after the crash. Two of the locations are in the nearby forest and on a mountaintop two hundred kilometers away, respectively. There is also a more exaggerated location… the bottom of a trench two thousand kilometers away. This unit almost overlooked the third location—hopefully that's not the cargo container, this unit has deep-sea phobia."

Hao Ren: "..."

Having such a PDA that was temperamental, constantly critical, sharp-tongued, neurotic, talkative, and even had its own aesthetic sense when playing movies, and even claimed to have deep-sea phobia, Hao Ren felt that he would eventually cultivate the ability to see through all earthly matters.

"Wreckage of the transport equipment?" Izhaks frowned, "Didn't you say that the cargo container arrived safely on this planet? How did it become wreckage?"

"Yes, the cargo container arrived safely, but the transport plane crashed," the data terminal shivered. "Goblin technology is just that awesome, so I said Raven shouldn't have looked for those goblins who retired from the Savior Army to transport the goods. Their cost control is simply shameless—according to the information downloaded from the Air Traffic Control Bureau just now, the transport plane carrying the cargo container was an unmanned model. It disintegrated after entering the atmosphere. The cargo container barely landed successfully using its own emergency deceleration device, but all the positioning equipment and the like were burned out. The last thing it sent back was a distress signal, with no positioning signal, and this signal has also been interrupted. Now we have to find them from the three crash sites."

Hao Ren turned to look at the primeval forest behind him: "This is the closest, let's start searching here first. The trench over there..."

As he spoke, Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue: "Could Raven 12345 already know that the cargo container crashed into the sea, and that's why she specifically asked me to bring you along? Should we go to the trench first?"

The more Hao Ren thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Because in his mind, Raven 12345 was always a mastermind, a master of torturing people. It was possible that that goddess sister already knew the whereabouts of the cargo container, and she was just sending Hao Ren out to play around...

"Not necessarily," the data terminal explained for Raven 12345, "The Chief is just being thorough. Eighty percent of this planet is covered by ocean. The place where we landed is the only continent on this planet. The probability of the cargo container crashing into the ocean was very high from the beginning, so she asked you to bring a siren."

Hao Ren nodded, indicating that he understood. Nangong Wuyue looked confident: "Don't worry, although I haven't been to the deep sea, sirens are naturally creatures of the water. After I merge into the water, I'm immune to darkness and water pressure. Uh, the premise is that the main components of the seawater on this planet aren't some strange things..."

The data terminal made a guarantee: "Don't worry, it's normal seawater, just the salt content is slightly higher. Speaking of which, won't you be pickled into dried fish because of the high salt content?"

Nangong Wuyue thought for a while: "...It shouldn't, I'm a saltwater creature, and I have some innate abilities that can prevent me from turning into dried fish in cases where the seawater concentration is abnormal."

Hao Ren felt that this topic was just too ridiculous.
