Twisted Dreams-Chapter 220 - 190: Dragon Caller?

Jessica was silent for a while, then said:

"Jason, you should see a psychiatrist rather than harass me.

You just woke up, while I’ve been working for fifteen hours."

Jason grabbed his hair, anxiously saying:

"I’m not lying to you, that thing was really terrifying!"

Jessica asked:

"Then you didn’t record a video of the ghost?"

Jason’s face showed terror:

"I left my phone in that abandoned building.

God! There was a ghost!

Do you think I dare to go back and retrieve it?!"

Jessica took out her phone and was browsing Jason’s short video posts in Xia Country.

In the comments of Jason’s pinned video, many people were discussing Jason’s ghost encounter yesterday.

Jessica frowned and said:

"Wasn’t this self-directed by you?"

Jason shouted incredulously:

"Jessica, is that how you see me?!

You know I’m an atheist, do I need to do such a thing?!"

Jessica pondered for a moment:

"I’ll give you ten minutes to talk about your thoughts."

Jason seized the opportunity and quickly said:

"I met a mysterious man from Xia Country on the plane, he said he could summon a Dragon..."

Jason waved his hands animatedly and laid out the whole story, then looked at Jessica with expectant eyes.

Jessica felt a headache, she rubbed her head:

"If you could really capture the Xia Guolong, it would indeed create a huge sensation.

But it sounds so unreliable, it’s hard for me to believe you."

Jason pleaded:

"Please, trust me, after all these years, I’ve helped you a lot."

Jessica sighed:

"Alright, tomorrow I’ll give you a big booth.

If you lied to me, or you were deceived, we can both get lost."

Jason was overjoyed:

"Jessica, I love you! You’re really my best friend!"

Jessica replied helplessly:

"I must be crazy, if it weren’t for you helping me a lot during my hardest times, I would never help you, get yourself ready."

After speaking, Jessica hung up the phone.

Jason danced with excitement.

Success and fame were just around the corner, tomorrow!

Soon, Jason became worried.

What if that bar owner was lying to me?

Or what if he simply didn’t show up?

If that’s the case, Jason’s life would be over.

Jason shook his head:

"I must be crazy too, no matter what, I have to give it a shot!"

His gaze gradually became resolute.

...

Next day, 2 PM, Golden Beach.

Dark clouds covered the sky, as if entering night early.

Thunder rumbled like war drums, resounding through the clouds.

Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the ground hard.

The sea roared, showcasing nature’s warning.

Jason stood by the sea wearing a raincoat.

Beside him were two waterproof cameras on tripods.

The cameras were covered with waterproof fabric.

At the moment, the cameras were on, connected to short video streaming on Fast Shake and overseas tt.

On Fast Shake, there were only a few thousand people online, but on tt, there were a million.

Jessica kept her promise, giving Jason a big booth on tt video.

If it weren’t for many countries being in the middle of the night, there would be even more people in the tt live stream.

The titles for both live streams were the same.

The legendary Dragon Caller, witness the appearance of a Dragon!

The live stream was bustling.

[Does Xia Country have Dragons too? Is it real?]

[Xia Country claims to be descendants of the Dragon, of course there are Dragons.]

[That’s terrifying, how can a race consider themselves descendants of an evil Dragon?]

[Xia Country’s Dragon is benevolent, unlike the evil Dragons of Western legends.]

[So, is Jason crazy? Trying to summon a Dragon by the sea?]

[I found out that Xia’s Dragons don’t even have wings, yet they say Dragons can fly in the sky, how could they fly?]

.....

[What the hell, summoning a Dragon live on site?]

[This dude keeps criticizing Xia people for being superstitious, and now he’s faking a ghost last night, purely dim-witted.]

[His followers increased a lot last night, seems he’s addicted to self-directing.]

[A ghost can be faked, how will he fake a Dragon? Waiting to see him embarrass himself.]

[Unless he gathers the Seven Dragon Balls.]

.....

More and more people joined the live stream, but Li Yang had not yet arrived.

Jason became nervous.

Would he really be stood up?

He picked up the microphone, braving the heavy rain, forcing a smile:

"You all got it wrong, I am not a Dragon Caller.

The Dragon Caller is a family that has a legacy of over a thousand years in Xia Country, with each generation possessing the power to summon a True Dragon."

Bragging to boost entertainment value, every country’s streamers love to do it.

Someone questioned in the tt live stream:

"If you’re not the Dragon Caller, then why are you here? You can’t summon a Dragon, clickbait!"

Jason pretended to be mysterious:

"Though I can’t summon a Dragon, after so much searching, I finally found a descendant of the Dragon Caller!

Today, a descendant of the Dragon Caller will summon the legendary Dragon of Xia Country here!"

Exclamations filled the live stream.

Someone asked:

"So, where is this Dragon Caller?"

Jason’s face showed some unease, some embarrassment:

"He, he is preparing the Dragon summoning ritual, please wait a moment!"

Jason kept looking out from the beach.

Could it be, he’s really being fooled!

Why isn’t he showing up yet!

The phone rang, it was an overseas call.

Jason picked it up, hearing Jessica’s grim voice over the phone:

"Jason, do you really want to ruin us?!

Does the so-called Dragon Caller even exist?!

Or were you also deceived?"

Jason lost confidence and stammered:

"I, I..."

Jessica shouted:

"I don’t need your explanation!

Don’t tell me you didn’t have a backup plan!

You either really bring out a Dragon!

Or you figure a way to end this farce!

Do you know how hard it was for me to secure a big booth for you under company and God Creation Technology’s pressure?!"

Jason closed his mouth, not daring to speak.

Could it be, he was really deceived?

He regretted it.

Why did he foolishly believe the bar owner’s words?!

Was he scared out of his wits by the ghost?!

At this moment, a figure appeared on the beach out of nowhere.

He wore a round hat, a black trench coat, and held an umbrella.

Jason’s eyes lit up:

"Someone’s here, Jessica, I wasn’t lying! The live stream continues!"

Jessica wanted to say something more, but Jason had already hung up the phone.

Li Yang slowly approached the sea, leaving only a back view in the live stream.

The live stream became lively.

[The Dragon Caller’s here, hahaha, it’s a setup.]

[This guy gathered the Seven Dragon Balls, didn’t he, is he going to make a wish?]

[Wishing for the Divine Dragon to appear? Hahaha...]

Jason quickly walked to the seashore:

"Buddy, you’d better really summon a Dragon, or I will definitely go all out against you."

Li Yang pressed down his hat brim, covering most of his face, with a dangerous smile at the corner of his mouth, he said:

"I am a man who keeps his promises, I will make you famous worldwide."

Li Yang’s words seemed to have a magic power, making people feel trustworthy, making people feel at ease.

Jason’s anxious heart gradually calmed down.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

That bar owner kept saying he would make him famous, but never mentioned summoning a Dragon!

Could it be that he wanted him to make a fool of himself in front of so many fans?

That would indeed count as being famous.

But what is this!?

Jason became terrified:

"Buddy, don’t, don’t harm me!"

Li Yang looked at the sea, his eyes deep, lips murmuring an esoteric and obscure spell.
