Chapter 625: Conception of the Base

The "Rainbow Locust City" built by Su Xuan was almost identical to the real-world one.

If it weren't for the time difference between the "Rainbow Locust City" in Su Xuan's memory and the real world, so some changes to buildings and roads weren't reflected, even Su Bai, entering here for the first time, might have found it hard to spot the differences.

However, in Wu Hang's view, such a city was still somewhat lacking.

"Maybe we could expand outward a bit, like building some roads and bridges to connect to areas where other 'people' are located," Wu Hang seriously suggested.

"How the hell is that possible?" Su Xuan pressed his forehead in frustration. "With my power alone, I simply can't keep expanding this city outward."

"You don't need to do it alone as one 'person,'" Wu Hang said, casually mentioning another name, "The 'Director' will help."

"Him?" Su Xuan seemed somewhat surprised. "He's gonna get involved in this?"

"Maybe he's found a script he likes?" Wu Hang didn't elaborate much.

Su Bai, standing nearby, was also taken aback. If he hadn't misheard, that "Director" was likely a member of the opposition faction—the same director who had a penchant for soap operas at the Blood Moon Lake Villa.

"If it's his power, it might actually be possible to integrate it into the dream construction," Su Xuan began seriously considering the feasibility. "But if it's just to have a place to talk, the cost might be a bit too high."

"Of course, it's not just a place to talk," Wu Hang said, his gaze shifted to the pedestrians coming and going in the city. At first glance, these pedestrians seemed to be going about their business normally, walking and chatting, even stepping into roadside shops for a while, but everything felt like it was on a loop, with all actions ultimately just repeating and repeating.

These were the "puppets" Su Xuan had tried to create himself, but compared to Wu Hang's abilities, these puppets were still too crude.

Since Su Bai had cleared out the rampaging puppets when he entered the city, the power fluctuations of the surrounding puppets were now faint.

"Isn't it a waste to stuff a city this big with useless puppets like these?" Wu Hang's tone was critical.

"You're the puppeteer, not me," Su Xuan retorted, crossing his arms confidently. "I never specifically learned how to make puppets. I just have a bit of insight from wearing your puppets for so long."

"What if I replaced all the puppets here with the ones from Mist Mountain?"

Wu Hang's tone was calm, but Su Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"Do you know what you're saying?" Su Xuan's mouth twitched as he stared at Wu Hang in disbelief. "The puppets you placed in Mist Mountain... those aren't puppets; they're terrifying weapons! With that many gathered together, they'd be a devastating army. Back when I asked for your help, I got chased out by those things several times. Are you planning to stuff those puppets into my city?!"

"Are you trying to build a meetup spot or a war fortress?!"

"It can be both," Wu Hang didn't deny it.

"Why do this? Why the sudden change in attitude toward the Red Moon Association? I need a reasonable explanation." Su Xuan's head was spinning. "Even though I'm part of the opposition faction, it's never been an organized group. Everyone just quietly disagrees and does their own thing. Why go out of the way to gather all 'people' together?"

"I want the Red Moon Association to fall, for sure, but I feel like it shouldn't be this soon, not now, and not initiated by you... Wu Hang, what's really going on?"

Su Xuan's expression showed more concern for his friend's actions than outright skepticism.

"..."

Wu Hang was silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Because we still have time."
