My Boyfriend Is A Dragon-Chapter 214 - A Familiar Face from the Asylum

“To a certain extent, the wormhole must have changed the order of the dimensions, creating holes in each parallel dimension. That is why we appeared here.” Qin Lao frowned hard and explained.

“But you’re not from this dimension in the first place, haven’t you noticed it at all?” Xu Lan found it to be unfathomable. Then again, perhaps his sheer astonishment was due to not having the same sort of expertise or knowledge as Qin Lao had.

“If it’s a direct shift from one dimension to another, then surely everyone would have noticed something, but I came here because Sergeant Xiao invited me over. It’s the same thing with Hu Cheng, whom you’ve just seen. He only came to Whitehorse City because of his appointment. The dimension is making a trade-off due to the dimensional disorder.” Qin Lao spent some time in deep thought before replying gravely.

Looking outside the window, one could see the bright shining sun and the beauty of a spring day. Despite being hit by the sun’s rays, Xu Lan did not feel warm. All he felt was coldness, as though the only thing wrapping him was the exoskeleton of a cicada. Both his legs were trembling, and his lips became purple.

Bai Wu would certainly not be able to distance himself from any responsibility arising from the disorder. It might even be the case that Bai Wu’s existence directly correlates with the interconnection of those parallel dimensions. Xu Lan looked worryingly at Bai Wu, unsure if the latter even had any method of remedying the situation. He nearly spilled the beans when he looked at Bai Wu the following moment!

Motherf*cker! Bai Wu took some grapes from the table and ate them without a care in the world!

“Bai Wu!”

“Hm?” Bai Wu answered perplexedly after hearing his name being called out so suddenly.

“The dimensions are going crazy, aren’t you the least bit worried?” Xu Lan propped up his head, and in utter helplessness, he massaged his temples and questioned.

“What’s there to be worried about? We’ll just go with the flow ¹ . Worrying’s not gonna do us any good…” Bai Wu popped another grape into his mouth and replied nonchalantly. “You’re still by my side, so there’s nothing for me to worry about.”

Xu Lan was momentarily speechless. No words of rebuttal could come out of his mouth, but a gush of redness started rising to the tip of his ear.

“We must pay close attention to this whole situation. If the whole of space and time is entering chaos, then we might not know what’s going to happen next!” Qin Lao stood up and exclaimed, clearly taking the matter very seriously. Xu Lan sympathized with the remark and nodded.

“Since the situation is as such, leave Bai Wu in our hands. We’ve almost finished our discussion with Sergeant Xiao, and it’s about time we head back and see if we can do some research on him and find a solution.”

In his hazy state of mind, Xu Lan was still nodding. Bai Wu had to throw a grape at him to jolt him back into consciousness. Startled, he jumped and stood up.

“Hey hey, Qin Lao, you should do your research on this incident first. If push comes to shove, I’ll bring Bai Wu over. I have to bring him to meet my wife now. Besides, you still don’t have any leads for the 928 Incident, right? You should get back to business.” Xu Lan pulled Bai Wu up from the chair and smiled as he pushed Bai Wu out of the room.

Wang Meng and Xiao Feng were leaning on the railings and having a smoke, but as soon as they saw Xu Lan come out, they put out their cigarettes and disposed of them in the garbage bin.

“How was it, Xiao Xu? Have you settled everything?” Wang Meng was the first to speak.

“… It was nothing serious. Anyway, why was Qin Lao invited over? Is the situation really that dire?” Xu Lan took the cigarette that Xiao Feng offered. After placing it behind his ear, he frowned and asked.

“All I did was phone them and ask if they could send someone over to assist us. Qin Lao came just like that. I’m sure you remember the old lady who broke out of the mental asylum? We found out about her background.” Xiao Feng took a deep breath and blew out a cloud of smoke.

“Her appearance and even her name were changed. And you’re acquainted with this person. It’s simply beyond reason!” Even at that precise moment, Wang Meng was utterly clueless as to how that woman did it.

“I know her?” Who is it?” Xu Lan curled his lips and asked, puzzled by Wang Meng’s blank expression.
