"Ah——! Ah——!Unlucky Immortal Troupe!I love you——! I love you——!"
Although the suite was equipped with quadruple-layer soundproof glass windows, the three could still faintly hear the roars coming from outside. So, they walked to the window with puzzled expressions to check. What they found below the hotel was a sea of fans holding up banners resembling a lump of excrement and huge photos. Banners hung on the fences on both sides of the street read, "Brave Fly of the Unlucky Immortal, Mommy's Boy Forever."
Looking at the contents displayed in the giant photos, Hao Yun and the others were utterly confused. They were certain they had never taken such greasy or post-modern non-mainstream style artistic photos. Although they couldn't compliment their appearance in the photos, they had to admit that the extravagant and exaggerated clothing and the beautifully shot scenes were lavishly displayed. Especially the poses with musical instruments in each photo, which gave them a taste of a top idol group.
If Hao Yun and the others were still wondering whether they had completed the task in Yimu Village earlier, now they could be one hundred percent sure that they had successfully completed the task and escaped from Yimu Village. However, they couldn't be happy at the moment. Because from the current scene, it was evident that they had been transported to a new setting again. Without thinking, they knew this meant there were new tasks waiting for them to solve.
"That damned Countess! Turns out, the game she prepared for us has more than one level!" Thinking of this, Hao Yun immediately exclaimed angrily.
"Hmph! That Countess is such a bitch! Don't let me catch her, or I'll kick her ass!" Dream Jia cursed through clenched teeth, full of resentment.
After Dao Lao managed to restrain his anger, he summoned the Mold Spirit Energy Tracking System to scan the situation here. The scan result was unsurprisingly that the Mold Level in this space remained at six stars, and the Mold Levels of Hao Yun and the group's fans downstairs were all at three stars.
After that, they used the system to conduct a quick check on themselves, but the results were disappointing. Neither their systems nor themselves could recover as they did after each scene change before. However, they found some solace in the fact that the strength they had already restored from previous scenes was still there, giving them some confidence for the upcoming tasks.
Hao Yun, who thought he could leave the Fragrant Nebula after completing the previous task, was now furious at the Countess's deliberate omission of how many parts the task actually entailed. And because they had to continue the Countess's game no matter what, Hao Yun couldn't help but complain, "Ah! Damn it! That Countess is such a liar! I don't know how many tasks we have to complete to end this damn game—"
"Ah! Damn it! Why are there still so many people outside today? They're so annoying!" Hao Yun lightly flicked his exquisite bangs and complained.
Upon hearing Hao Yun's two consecutive remarks, Dream Jia and Dao Lao looked at him with incredulous eyes. Because just as Hao Yun was about to finish his sentence, an identical voice immediately followed, uttering the same complaints about the fans. Although the tone of that voice was full of arrogance, pride, and contempt for them. Dream Jia and Dao Lao were both sure that those two sentences came from Hao Yun's mouth. Hao Yun was puzzled because he knew for sure that he didn't say the second complaint about the fans.
"It's true! Those guys are so noisy! They kept me awake all night!" This was Dream Jia's voice, sounding affected and pretentious.
"What's going on? I didn't say anything?!" Dream Jia was shocked to hear her own voice and said in disbelief, subconsciously trying to cover her mouth with her hand. However, Dream Jia felt her command being futile, as her body seemed disconnected from her consciousness, unable to follow her instructions to cover her mouth.
"Oh my god! I can't control my body!" After several unsuccessful attempts, Dream Jia exclaimed in horror.
Hao Yun and Dao Lao, waking up from their bewildered state, began to check their physical condition. Then, they quickly discovered that they had lost control of their bodies. At this moment, their bodies were autonomously performing actions unrelated to their conscious commands. And their consciousness seemed trapped inside their bodies, only able to watch this bizarre phenomenon happen before their eyes.
It was only at this moment that Hao Yun and the others realized that all the conversations they had just had were actually carried out through the private chat channel of the Mold Spirit Energy Tracking System, even though they had not deliberately intended to use the system channel for communication. The three quickly checked the system again and found everything was normal. Why the previous situation occurred became a complete mystery.
Upon realizing that they had lost control of their bodies, Hao Yun and the others quickly developed a sense of fear, as if they had entered a void and completely disconnected from the world in front of them. However, what frightened them even more was yet to come. At this moment, their bodies seemed to have a brand new consciousness, officially beginning to act autonomously. From this, it could be inferred that all the actions Hao Yun and the others had just done, including looking out the window, were actually performed by their bodies under the drive of another consciousness. It's just that their consciousness happened to want to do the same thing, so they didn't notice any problems at first.

"Could this be the feeling of astral projection?" Watching their bodies move autonomously, Hao Yun was horrified and tried to stay calm and awake while speaking.
"Hmph!" Dao Lao snorted coldly. However, this snort was not in response to Hao Yun but was a sound emitted autonomously by Dao Lao's body.
Dao Lao glanced at Hao Yun and Dream Jia, bit off the bottle cap in a rough manner, downed a large cup of strong liquor, and then said with a mocking tone, "Ah! I suppose the noise outside kept you awake all night, didn't it? And if anyone was kept awake by the noise, it should be me!"
After speaking, Dao Lao pointed at Hao Yun and Dream Jia, seemingly implying that he had heard every bit of their shameful activities last night.
"You—! A-Yun, can you believe he's slandering me like this?!" Dream Jia couldn't contain her embarrassment and anger, shouting at Hao Yun with a flushed face.
Hearing his body speaking like this, Dao Lao couldn't help but join in with a smirk, "Oh? A-Yun? You two—could it be—?"
"Oh, for heaven's sake! Nothing happened between us! Everything you said, no, everything he said, is a lie!" Dream Jia roared through the system like an enraged wildcat. Although she knew that everything Dao Lao's body said was nonsense, Dream Jia still felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
"Haha! Hahaha—! It's all lies, all lies. Whatever Old Dao says must be scripted. Don't take it too seriously, Jia Mei!" Hao Yun chuckled, trying to comfort Dream Jia.
Although Hao Yun was well aware that nothing inappropriate had happened between him and Dream Jia, facing such an exotic beauty, even being mistakenly associated with a rumor about them still made him feel an overwhelming sense of happiness.
Hearing Hao Yun's somewhat lecherous laughter, Dream Jia knew exactly what was going on in his head. But given the current situation, Dream Jia could only glare at Hao Yun sternly and warn him, "You little brat, don't you dare fantasize! Once I regain control of my body, I'll make sure to fix you up!"
"Oh, come on, you two! As you know, my feelings for your sister are one hundred percent genuine and completely free of any falsehood! You see, for your sister, I haven't arranged any fan interviews for weeks!" A-Yun, sandwiched between the quarreling Dao Lao and Dream Jia, appeared quite embarrassed. Nonetheless, he tried his best to play the peacemaker to prevent the two from fighting again. Judging from A-Yun's words and his somewhat reluctant expression, the character here should be a playboy.
"A-Yun, Uncle, Jia Mei." It seemed that these were the names of Hao Yun and the others in this scene. Suddenly, Hao Yun and the others felt as if they had entered some idol drama. Here, their bodies, driven by some terrifying force, not only possessed autonomous consciousness but also became protagonists in the play. Meanwhile, their true consciousness was separated from their bodies and imprisoned deep in their souls. So now, Hao Yun could only watch as his body performed awkward and embarrassing acts like a bystander.
After grasping the current situation, Hao Yun and the others quickly calmed their fearful and helpless hearts. They constantly reminded themselves that everything happening now was just another illusion created by the Countess. At the same time, Hao Yun specifically mentioned that this illusion felt similar to the sensation of experiencing sleep paralysis. Perhaps, as long as they could maintain calmness and concentration, and make an effort to twitch their fingers or toes, they could quickly regain control of their bodies and wake themselves up from this dreamlike state. Of course, this made them realize that their next task might be to find a way to regain control of their bodies.
Their bodies naturally ignored the mental activities of Hao Yun and the others and continued to push the plot forward.
"I know, I know! But you two should also be more considerate, okay? It's the middle of the night, and you make Uncle suffer alone in the lobby?!" Daddy Cat impatiently waved his hand, drank another large gulp of liquor.
"Knowing it's late at night, why don't you hurry back to your room and sleep? What are you doing in the lobby?!" Jia Mei hid behind A-Yun with a flushed face, questioning him angrily.
"I'm enjoying the moonlight, drinking! After all, my share of silver is included in the rent of this suite! So, I can do whatever I want in this room. Why do you care so much? If you don't like it, go spend your own money to rent another room!" Daddy Cat retorted.
"Get lost! This suite is the most luxurious in this hotel and my favorite! Why should I move to other shabby rooms? And if anyone's going to rent another room separately, it should be you!"
"Ah—! Enough, you two! Daddy Cat, Jia Mei, could you please stop arguing? If you keep quarreling like this, I might as well rent another room and live alone!" A-Yun once again tried to persuade them with a somewhat flustered expression.
"A-Yun, you better not live alone, or I'll definitely couldn't resist spanking Jia Mei's ass hard! Just like her aunt used to do when she was naughty!" Daddy Cat stopped A-Yun and said, while Jia Mei glared at Daddy Cat fiercely upon hearing this. Seeing that the two finally stopped arguing, A-Yun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
As Dream Jia's mood slightly softened, she sat back at the table, her chin raised proudly, touching up her makeup as she spoke earnestly, "Uncle! Not to criticize, but it's time for you to find a partner! Spending every night alone, enjoying the moonlight and drinking—isn't it boring? Besides, Aunt has been gone for so long, and you've been alone for so long too. It's time to move forward!"
"What the hell are you talking about! Your aunt isn't dead! She's just working abroad! And it's only been a few months since she left! Move forward my ass?! Find a partner my ass?! Do you want to see your uncle's butt kicked by your aunt?!" Daddy Cat yelled at Dream Jia with a drunken face, while Dream Jia waved her hand in front of her nose, showing disdain with a shrug.
