As evening fell, Ma Lin disguised himself once again and then went to Master Yan's place.
Several Hunters and Master Yan's bodyguards were present; everyone had dinner together and then arranged a dozen or so lounge chairs in the living room, each person reclining on one.
Afterward, Master Yan took out a black dreamstone and recited a prayer in praise of Xiu pu, the god of dreams.
Ma Lin then entered the dream realm.
First came a few minutes of scattered dreams, and then he found himself in the Big Bone City, at Master Yan's base on Century Egg Street.
Everyone still moved about freely.
Ma Lin went out onto the street and continued his inspection.
A group of dream residents dressed as dream thugs were on a killing spree along the street, not only attacking passersby but also attempting to break into various residences to slaughter the occupants inside.
