Chapter 493: MP Unit

This was a hastily formed joint team called Mysterium-Phecda Unit or MP Unit. The membership consisted of the elites from both organizations. Even though the goal was a peace talk, they were ready to face the most dangerous situation. Everyone was on full alert. From Phecda, there were Gu Jun, Peacock, Malachite and Wu Siyu, who had been to the Dreamlands. Peacock and Malachite were even Dreamland native. Other members like Lou Xiaoning and Deng Ximei guarded Phecda World. Mysterium sent out Yu Chi and Feng Peiqian. The others included Bell Grant from FBM, Stelvana Linapova from Russia, Ryan Nathan from England; as well as their Mysterium counterparts, Wayne Fenton, Burchet Ivanovic, and Roddy Mikey.

There were 12 people in total, 7 males and 5 females. Phecda and Mysterium had also completed the exchange of 9 Mysterium Arts and Mental Pillar Training Mental. Therefore in the MP Unit, 3 members had 6 pillars, Wu Siyu, Gu Jun, Yu Chi while the rest had 5 pillars. Their first pillar was based on family, love or someone important; the second pillar was the joint unit, even though it was a hastily formed unit, this was a big step towards the unity of both human civilization; the third pillar was about personal emotion, desire and wish. For example, Yu Chi’s third pillar was his wish to see in person the excavation of the Ding Dynasty Tomb; Feng Peiqian’s was a wedding with her dream lover; Wu Siyu was a couch. The other pillars were left empty for the moment. The 3 existing pillars already required plenty of reinforcement because they were still quite weak.

Gu Jun’s third pillar was that moment of relief when he managed to cure his patient. Even though he had not been inside the clinical clinic for some time already, he had not forgotten he was a clinical doctor. Each surgical success was something that kept him going.

Currently, both Wu Siyu and Yu Chi had him as their first pillar. Yu Chi discovered with regret that he did not share a spiritual conversation channel with Gu Jun and he did not seem to get any benefit from this bond either. However, the man did not give up. He investigated the uniqueness between Gu Jun and Wu Siyu, other than the lover’s bond, what else was there? Was there anything he could copy? Was that the only thing he and Gu Jun lacked? Was it because Gu Jun did not make him his first pillar?

“Captain, how can you rival Wu Siyu?” Feng Peiqian sighed, “They’re in that kind of relationship.”

“But Captain Gu and I have been through death together…” Yu Chi countered. In any case, the pillars did help greatly in team unity. Even though the unit was just formed, when they were together, there was a sense of familiarity. The natural distance, suspicion lowered. They also attempted to cast an Ancient Seal net, it went very smoothly. Things were already going so smooth at the start, it would only get better. Since time was short, after they built the pillars, they rested for one night and the next morning, Lucky dragged its fat body and said, “It’s getting late. It’s about time to depart. If we miss the timing, I’m not responsible.”

Since material things couldn’t be brought to Dreamlands, the PM Unit departed with nothing much. They still brought some weapons as an experiment but they carried mostly medicine. Wu Siyu though brought a lot of catnip and cat toys. After all, this was going to be a negotiation with cats.

The channel to Dreamlands was inside a small poplar grove at Mo Bei City. It was a mudhole next to a tree. If not for the Zoog, no one would have discovered it. The entrance was heavily guarded by Phecda. Every mission came with its own risk. So before they departed, everyone said goodbye to friends and family. Elder Tong told them to be careful and Cai Zixuan sent them off with a poem, “Bidding you farewell, I’d like to offer you one more toast,

For west of the Sun Gate you won’t come across any old friend.”

That was technically not correct because the Great Atal was an old friend who might turn against them. If there was a chance, Cai Zixuan, Lou Xiaoning and the rest wanted to meet this Atal who managed to prophesize so many things. When they crossed the channel, Yu Chi, Feng Peiqian and the rest were impressed and stunned by the dancing lights. They stuck close to Gu Jun who followed Lucky. Lucky did not lead the wrong way. They soon exited the lights and fresh air hit them. Accompanying it was the sound of the forest. Gu Jun looked at the nearby trees. He recognized the place as the Enchanted Woods. Wu Siyu already noticed that there were small shadows darting among the trees, they were all Zoogs.

“The weapons have all dissolved.” Yu Chi reported. The guns that they carried as experiments disappeared.

“This way.” Lucky said, “We’ve prepared clothes for you.” Their current clothes would disappear in a few hours. They split according to gender and each group followed one Zoog. If there was any problem, Gu Jun and Wu Siyu would contact each other spiritually. But this time the Zoogs did not play any trick. MP Unit put on Ulthar-style cotton clothing. Gu Jun also noticed the little embellishment done by the Zoog. Around the chest area, there was a claw symbol made from Zoog fur, it was quite conspicuous. The group reunited after they changed. A grumpy Zoog said with annoyance, “There are only so many of you? How is this enough…”

Gu Jun shared their thoughts of trying to have a peace talk with the cats first. The Zoog answered angrily, “No way! That will expose our plan! What we need you to do is to destroy the Ulthar temple and distract all the cats and then we… hue hue hue…” The Zoog chuckled wickedly and it was picked up by the other Zoogs. Only Lucky shivered silently. Gu Jun quickly picked out how they were supposed to be bait in the Zoog’s plan…

But before the humans could say anything, suddenly a lazy meow rang clearly inside the forest. Everyone’s eyes slowly turned towards it. All the Zoogs, including the wicked one, were stunned. A large black cat was sunning lazily on a tree branch. The disinterested gaze stared at them. It was unclear how much it had heard.

At Dreamlands, language was possible via intention so they heard the black cat say, “What is it that you have that is so fragrant?”

“Erm.” Wu Siyu waved a sprig of green in her grasp. “You mean this?” It was the catnip.
