Chapter 237: The Girl From His Dreams

Without much delay, Ghost ship set off to the Secret Realm of Shadow Guardians.

Earlier, it had to scan the entire earth for Shadow Order. Of course, it now also had the data of other secret realms.

Every major power usually hides their Secret Realm. Of course, they could be found by Space Awakeners.

But according to Boo, Shadow Guardians, though not as concealed as Shadow Order, were hidden enough to be not discovered by a Space Sovereign.

Varian opened the letter and read through it again.

This was before Roxana happened. But even after she was rescued by Enigma, Sia chose not to meet him.

It was all a year ago.

He was able to understand why.

Before Roxana event…

"She already knew I lost my memory of her." Varian clenched his fists. "…Maybe she was thinking that I could somehow pull myself together and get back to normal and try awakening once again. If she entered my life…she would only trigger bad memories."

It was a sacrifice. But if it was her, she would do it.

And after Roxana event...

If the Xanders did realize her preciousness—improving talents, then it was too dangerous for her to meet him.

If she was close with him, he would have become the bait to fish her out.

"Still, this is too much. Why did you decline just now? What are you really thinking?" Varian muttered under his breath.

He was a slightly angry, but it was nothing against his mountain of guilt.

"Master, your heart beat is reaching dangerous levels. Calm down." Boo hurried said and a tranquilizer was released in the cabin.

Varian took a few deep breaths and his heartbeat slowed…slightly.

Realizing that its actions had little effect, Boo said. "We're here."

Varian looked out of the glass walls and saw the world blur before a world appeared.

The aura meter read 200% higher than Earth.

He looked up to see the purple sky….there were no birds, only delivery and surveillance drones.

From aerial view, he saw the realm was full of hexagon shaped bases. Each base had residential area, training area and mission area.

All the bases were arranged in a spiral with the vast building, in the shape of a three pointed star, in the center.

Built of rare crystal, it emitted a beautiful three color light.

"Enigma…" Varian narrowed his eyes.

Red. Blue. Green.

The same colors as Enigma's pupils and hair. The same colors of the Avenues—the roads in divine view.

Varian saw thousands of people moving in and around, going about their daily activities.

When anyone had to leave the realm for a mission, they would need a token. It recognizes only one person's aura signature. Thus, even if the token was stolen, others could not use it to enter the realm.

All such tokens had to be issued by the master of the Secret Realm. So, losing them was a bad idea.

"Boo, scan everyone you can." Varian said with a serious voice.

Even thought Boo can't get close to high awakeners beyond a certain distance, taking their picture was easy.

Ghostship maintained its stealth and covered the secret realm. Then, it shrank its size and infiltrated every building that missed its radar.

It was too fast and even with Varian's super human senses, all he felt was a blur of silhouettes.

It would take a while.

Meanwhile, Varian leveraged his mental power and copied Sia's image from his memory onto a painting.

Even with the help of his mind powers resulting in precise body control, his painting was only about 80% correct.

Thankfully, with his instructions, Boo corrected it to 99%.

Boo extrapolated Sia's age to the present and came up with a reference image.

And after one hour, Ghost ship stopped.

According to the log, they covered all the places except the central building. In just two hours, they went through training centers, homes, underground tunnels, offices, and trapdoors.

"How is it?" He asked with a dry throat.

A hologram appeared in front of him and scanned images flashed by as Boo tried to find the matching image.

Varian sighed.

If she was outside the main building, it would be easier to "take her away" without alerting others.

But it looked like he had little choice.

"Go to the main building." Varian said.

Boo shrank ghostship and they sneaked in.

The building's interior was build of blue crystal. Varian could see awakeners going to and fro in hurry.

It was like any normal workplace.

But—

"Boo, why is the speed so slow?" Varian asked hurriedly.

After entering the building, Ghostship's speed slowed to that of normal human's walking speed.

Slower than a tortoise!

"Master, there are level 8s in the building. I can maintain my stealth around them as long as I do not exceed certain speeds.

If we get discovered, we can escape, but the mission will fail." Boo explained slowly.

"I see. Then take your time." Varian no longer urged Boo and let it do its thing.

Meanwhile, from the scans done so far, he checked out the inforkatmo

Ghostship moved slowly for a while, sped up in some areas.

Varian saw many awakeners here. Especially the high awakeners! Even though they were only 2 levels away, they felt like a world apart.

'What is Sia's level now?' He wondered.

After covering the building, the underground space and even the trapdoors, Boo declared Sia was absent.

"She can increase talents…which means she can increase the number of high awakeners. She's the most important asset of the realm. Where would she be…"?Varian pondered for a while and said sharply. "Enigma's home."

The scans so far didn't include people that went on missions. But given Sia's importance, only a fool would send her out.

So it was likely that she was living at another location.

The one who would maintain communication with her at all costs was Enigma.

There was no guarantee he would find anything related to her in Enigma's home, though.

But it didn't hurt to give it a try.

"Un." Boo nodded and they were soon inside Enigma's home. It was all white—too plain, too boring and too painful to watch.

Varian's breath ragged. Except for a few sofas, there was nothing in this home.

"Scan carefully…if there's anything." Varian said weakly.

Having a storage ring, why would Enigma leave anything important in her home?

"Master, I found a comm."

Varian's brows knit together. "Retrieve it."

Soon, the comm was lying in front of him. Varian touched it lightly and the next moment, a light flashed.

"Master, it's a tra—"

Boo was ready to use the celestial grade walls to protect Varian, but the comm only displayed a hologram.

It was a real time hologram video call.

Varian forgot to breathe. His heart skipped a beat and then began to thump so frantically that it almost burst out his chest.

He opened his mouth to speak, only to close it again. His face showed a myriad of emotions.

Relief. Joy. Grief. Guilt. Pity.

Yet, his gaze was transfixed on her virtual figure.

It was a familiar, yet unfamiliar girl with long brown hair and shining golden eyes.

She had grown to be an astounding beauty. Unlike a few years ago, the traces of naivety on her face were replaced by the grace of youth.

The girl from his dreams slowly opened her lips. "Varian…"
