Twisted Dreams-Chapter 367 - 435: Sea Race

Xia Country, Beidang Mountain.

This is a remote and desolate land, hiding Xia Country’s most mysterious agency—the Security Administration.

This is the new Security Administration.

The Security Administration is located within the mountain, its main entrance a heavy alloy door, large enough to accommodate small fighter jets.

Entering the door, a long corridor stretches forward, with walls made of hard, special materials resistant to any natural disasters.

Along both sides of the corridor, state-of-the-art monitoring equipment is arranged, constantly observing every move in the vicinity.

In the command center, a large electronic screen displays various data and images.

Staff wearing white coats and administrators dressed in black suits are busy with their respective tasks.

Cao Yi walked into his office.

Secretary Zhou Ziyi walked up with coffee:

"Director, please enjoy."

Cao Yi sat in his office chair and casually asked:

"How’s the response to the training ground for the Extraordinary and the staff gym?"

The Security Administration here has just been established, and many functions are continually being improved.

This is a confidential place where staff cannot casually return home, so living facilities and entertainment functions must be perfect to ensure staff’s physical and mental health.

Zhou Ziyi replied:

"Everything’s fine, but except for the combat personnel, almost no one goes to the gym. Everybody seems more interested in the game room."

Cao Yi nodded, gesturing for Zhou Ziyi to leave.

He opened his computer and began the day’s work.

The computer contained the latest intelligence and the latest data from the Security Institute.

He looked over them while mumbling to himself:

"Fallen Angel? Wow, the Apostle has appeared in Huaqi.

Although I haven’t seen Fallen Angel at the Demon Club, the appearance suggests they are from Xia Country.

Does this mean Xia Country intends to control the entire Extraordinary Circle worldwide?"

Cao Yi’s mouse glided over the desktop:

"Has the Institute still not cracked the secrets of Xie Qilin’s body?

Indeed, the Institute still can’t perfectly integrate technology and the Extraordinary.

You can’t blame them; maybe the Demon Puzzle can’t be cracked with technology alone either."

Cao Yi continued to slide the mouse, his fingers suddenly pausing on a page, eyes slightly squinting:

"Jinmen, Bohai Sea, discovered Merfolk?"

Cao Yi’s mind raced.

The Imperial Capital once saw a Dragon, a traditional image of Xia Country.

That Dragon appeared at Silver Beach, and the sea area there is the Bohai Sea.

"Could it be that these Merfolk are related to the Dragon?"

Cao Yi pondered, opening the folder about Merfolk.

Originally, the Merfolk first appeared in the house of a fisherman.

The fisherman lived in a seaside house and one day discovered the leftovers in the dining cabinet had disappeared, and a fresh sea fish had appeared instead.

At first, the fisherman thought this was a prank by friends, but the mischief became more frequent, so he installed a camera in his home.

That day, checking the surveillance, he was shocked to find it was not someone’s prank, but a beautiful woman with a fish tail!

The fisherman was terrified and quickly reported to the police.

Cao Yi opened the video data, and the screen showed the image of the Merfolk.

The Merfolk figure was clumsy, awkwardly taking food from the dining cabinet and putting a sea fish inside, muttering:

"This isn’t stealing; it’s swapping."

Cao Yi gasped:

"Wow, this Merfolk is rather polite."

Cao Yi picked up the phone, dialing a number:

"Security Administration, immediately set out for White Holiday Fishing Village, explore nearby seas."

The current Security Administration is completely different from before, now quite wealthy.

This is thanks to the first director, He Jingguo, who extorted large sums of money from two major families in the Imperial Capital.

The Security Administration has plenty of high-tech equipment, even several submarines.

...

Near the sea of White Holiday Fishing Village.

The police department set up a caution line along the nearby beach under the Security Administration’s deployment.

The Ocean Management Bureau sealed off the sea area under the Security Administration’s instructions.

Now in Xia Country, the Security Administration has high authority and can assign tasks to various units.

The Security Administration’s ship appeared on the sea, and a submarine dived into the deep sea for investigation.

The submarine is also high-tech from the Security Administration, able to dive below areas where ordinary submarines cannot go, with a very powerful sonar system.

On the submarine, a staff member detected something, reporting:

"Leader, there’s something below!"

The senior administrator in charge of this mission, codenamed Whale Bird.

Whale Bird is a thirty-year-old man, possessing both Wind and Water Attributes, very suited for ocean missions.

He originally couldn’t reach the height of Senior Administrator, but unfortunately, now the Security Administration is wealthy but weakened.

Wei Ming was expelled from the Security Administration.

Xie Qilin is dead.

Zhang Xiaoyi has a special status, being the Sect Leader of Shu Mountain, unless the Security Administration makes a big move, he won’t assist.

Ye Fan spends most of his time at Changbai Mountain, maintaining the relationship between humans and Demon Race.

Cao Yi is the director and needs to stay at headquarters, also unable to move freely.

Even though the rank of the Extraordinary is also improving, Whale Bird is still incomparable to past figures like Wei Ming and Xie Qilin.

However, Whale Bird is also close to reaching Tier Three, capable of standing on his own.

Whale Bird closed his eyes, sensing the spiritual waves within the ocean.

In the sea, Whale Bird’s abilities are more adept.

After a moment, Whale Bird tightly focused below:

"Continue descending, we’re almost there."

Whale Bird’s palms were sweating.

According to his senses, there’s a city below!

"Such luck, with such a vast ocean, on the first dive we discover something. Originally thought this would be a long task."

Whale Bird mumbled.

...

Under the ocean, after passing through dense darkness, there gradually appeared light.

The administrators had made many assumptions about the city below the ocean.

The first thought was Atlantis when it came to an ocean city.

They assumed that the city under the ocean would also be quite grand, but when the submarine arrived, the city’s appearance was far from imagination!

Calling it a city is more like calling it a peaceful small town.

The colorful coral reefs were like the ’green belts’ of the seabed, varied in shape, some resembling blooming flowers, others like extending branches.

On both sides of the street, there were houses of various bizarre shapes.

Merfolk, Crab People, Shrimp People, walked along the streets.

There were even stalls on the streets selling sea urchins.

Ever watched SpongeBob?

This place closely resembles Bikini Bottom in the SpongeBob cartoon.

The submarine landed on a vacant spot, with Sea Race curiously watching this strange metal monster like silly deer gathering around.

Whale Bird, along with several administrators, donned diving suits and cautiously stepped down.

The Sea Race, seeing humans who resemble them, were even more curious.

They weren’t afraid, and even pointed at the administrators.

The administrators looked at these Sea Race in astonishment.

These Sea Race all had Spiritual Power, each one an Extraordinary Creature.

Fortunately, these Sea Race weren’t hostile towards them.

Whale Bird furrowed his eyebrows, revealing shock on his face.

It’s very deep here, with high water pressure; ordinary people coming here would probably be crushed to death.

Yet, Whale Bird had just withdrawn the Spiritual Power protecting him, only to find he was completely unharmed.

This underwater town was extraordinary!

Whale Bird pondered for a moment and removed the hood of his diving suit.

Unexpectedly, they could breathe underwater!

At this time, in the ’sky’ far away, a group of Sea Race swam over.

Those Sea Race were completely different from the Sea Race residents who were pointing at them currently.

Those Sea Race had even stronger Spiritual Power.

The group was composed of robust Lobster People, led by an octopus-legged male with a bare upper body.

The Octopus Person sternly looked at the administrators:

"Humans?"

The administrators became cautious once more.

Whale Bird took a step forward:

"Yes."

It was then that the administrators realized they could speak freely underwater!

The Octopus Person nodded and said:

"Guests, the Dragon King invites you."
