"Finally found you." Yu Hao said wearily.

Chen Yekai answered, "Where is this place?"

Yu Hao suddenly realized their conundrum. Now that they found Chen Yekai, how should they explain this to him?

But Zhou Sheng interjected, "Follow us."

"Where to?" Chen Yekai asked.

"There's no time, I'll explain later." Zhou Sheng said, "Hurry! Kaikai! Trust us!"

Chen Yekai hesitantly walked towards them. Yu Hao thought, nice one. Zhou Sheng signaled to Yu Hao with his eyes.

"Yu Hao." Chen Yekai said, "Are you angry with me?"

Yu Hao didn't know how to respond. Zhou Sheng said, "Yeah, everyone's angry at you. Why would you leave without saying anything?"

Chen Yekai sighed. Yu Hao asked, "Chen Laoshi, where are you going?"

Chen Yekai answered, "Back to New York, then transferring to another flight to Mexico."

Zhou Sheng secretly gave Yu Hao a thumbs up. It meant that Chen Yekai will be sleeping on the plane for a while, so they wouldn't need to panic.

"We're going to Argentina now." Zhou Sheng brought Chen Yekai to the path they had come from, then got into the car, "You drive." As he spoke, he sat in the back seat with Yu Hao. Chen Yekai turned around to cast a doubtful look at Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng before he started up the jeep, then drove it away from Mt. Tianqing and towards the center of his conscious world.

Yu Hao leaned in to whisper very quietly into Zhou Sheng's ear, "Are you sure that he won't discover the truth?"

Zhou Sheng answered quietly, "He won't. This is just a dream to him. Think about it, there's barely any logic in dreams. Just like with Shi Ni, she did whatever we asked her to do. As long as we don't agitate him too much, the dream won't change much."

The jeep emitted a bright light as it travelled through the dark rainforest. Chen Yekai focused intently on driving the car.

"Did you realize something?" Zhou Sheng moved closer to whisper into Yu Hao's ear, "Why are the monsters not attacking us anymore?"

Yu Hao suddenly realized that ever since they discovered how the shirt could be used and defeated that Tyrannosaurus Rex, the panthers no longer harassed them.

Yu Hao said quietly, "Perhaps in his conscious world, there's a tacit rule to not attack the people wearing this shirt?"

Zhou Sheng replied quietly as well, "But I think there's another possibility: all the monsters that attacked us are under......" As he spoke, he pointed to the center of the rainforest that they were steadily approaching, "......the control of a certain existence."

Yu Hao shuddered. If that was the case, then the monsters appeared to be extremely clever. Panthers wouldn't chase the car anymore. He connected it with the time he went down the mountain - he had vaguely heard a whistle then, and didn't think much of it because he had thought it was Zhou Sheng, but now that he recalled it, it could have been a signal to attack. Someone was commanding them.

"Aside from Kaikai, there's someone else who's issuing orders......"

"Shh." Zhou Sheng motioned for Yu Hao to not let Chen Yekai hear them. Chen Yekai was still driving attentively. The jeep passed by the cliff again, and the inn at the top was now in ruins.
