Chapter 180: Chapter 175: Dreaming Online

"I turned into a girl? Next time you joke, please stick closer to reality."

Fortunately, Xiao Yi didn’t believe it and sat up straight from the bed.

"So... what happened just now?" Xiao Yi asked.

"We just stepped out when we found you lying on the ground, already unconscious, Xiao Yi..." Clements paused before continuing, "Did you... see something you shouldn’t have seen?"

"Not really." Xiao Yi thought for a moment and replied, "I probably tripped accidentally, hit my head, and then passed out, and during that unconsciousness, I had a mysterious dream."

To Xiao Yi, that bizarre experience he just had could only be explained in this way.

But then again, ever since he arrived at this hotel, Xiao Yi seemed to have been having some strange dreams.

"Hit your head? What exactly were you doing?" Nania couldn’t help sighing, "But luckily, we checked, and there’s nothing wrong with your brain, no injuries."

"Mysterious dream?" Liliana asked curiously, "What kind of dream? Was it the werewolf dream you mentioned this morning to everyone but me?"

"No, it wasn’t that one. It’s hard for a person to have the same dream again or to continue a dream where it left off. It was something else."

Xiao Yi thought for a moment, describing his recent experience.

"To put it simply, I dreamed that I was in a cell, then I met a person without limbs, their intestines showing, and with their reluctant help, I left the cell, and then I woke up."

After hearing Xiao Yi’s description, everyone was momentarily stunned.

"That... indeed sounds like a hard-to-describe dream," Clements hesitated to say.

"What on earth do you think about all day?" Nania was somewhat speechless.

"..." And Liliana, for some reason, fell silent.

Xiao Yi turned to Nania and said:

"How would I know what I’m thinking? It’s as if my brain and I are the same person."

Nania: "...?"

"Maybe this isn’t the best time to talk about this," Clements brought the conversation back.

"Anyway, you had a nightmare," Nania concluded, smiling at Xiao Yi, "I’ve heard that only people who are timid have nightmares, it seems you are one of them."

"Timid?" Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don’t think the dream was a terrible nightmare, it felt... less terrifying than being rushed to complete homework when a teacher is collecting it."

"Alright, no more pretending to be tough, just rest well," Nania said, standing up, "Let me keep watch by the roadside instead, since I’m not timid enough to have nightmares...."

Nania was saying this when suddenly the world before her eyes was enveloped in darkness.

"...Eh?"

Darkness, all around was blackness, nothing could be seen, as if nothing existed.

"What is going on?"

The voice echoed in the darkness.

The damp air, the stench of decaying bodies, brought tears involuntarily, and the sound of some liquid constantly dripping onto the ground made the body shiver uncontrollably.

Because she couldn’t see, her other senses became incredibly sharp, and although she could clearly sense everything, she was unable to confirm the presence of dangers around her, nor could she ensure her own safety.

Her nerves were being toyed with.

Everything was dissolving her rationality.

"..." Nania felt a hollow emptiness in her heart, a somewhat stinging sensation climbing up her spine.

She panicked.

"Where is this place?"

Her voice now had a crying tone, and Nania didn’t understand why she had ended up here.

"Ah...ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...ah, ah, ah, ah..."

Xiao Yi’s hand touched the wall, sticky, foul-smelling, and the soft sensation instantly filled her brain.

For some reason, Nania just knew that the wall was smeared with traces of human viscera.

Although she felt nauseous and scared, this was the only presence she could find comforting in the endless darkness.

Thus, Nania could only force herself to move forward, leaning on the wall.

At that moment! Footsteps suddenly came from behind!

Something was following her!

"...No, please no!"

Unable to see, Nania could only grope the viscera, twisting her expression as she moved forward.

Then, whatever was behind her suddenly made a human sound.

"Ah...save me, please save me!"

The footsteps suddenly hastened; that something began chasing her!

"Yikes...! Don’t, don’t come closer! I don’t want to die! I want to start over! I don’t want to die!"

Nania ran forward recklessly, not caring if she hit something.

Soon, she indeed hit something.

But it was slightly hard yet mostly soft, and brought Nania a sense of comfort.

At that moment, the darkness became gentle and turned dim. Nania barely made out what she had run into.

"...Clements!?"

"Looks like you made it too," Clements said, extending his hand to pull Nania up from the ground.

"Really?" Nania could also see around her now, and quickly noticed that Xiao Yi and Liliana were also nearby.

However, for some reason, Liliana was kneeling on the ground, clutching her small head, shaking uncontrollably, and continuously mumbling some strange phrases.

"Little Anna, you...!"

"Stay back!!!"

Nania intended to approach Liliana, but the sharp cry made her retreat.

Nania turned to Xiao Yi and asked, "What’s wrong with her?"

"I don’t know," Xiao Yi helplessly spread his hands. "Maybe the child is just scared."

"...So where exactly are we?" Nania asked again.

"It must be a dream," Xiao Yi replied. "I had a similar dream just before."

Nania looked around again and realized that the area was enclosed by iron bars, undoubtedly a prison.

Every cell contained a person; some hung like limbless sedge worms, others were burned so badly their bodies became densely dotted with bumps, but most were motionless corpses.

The low murmurs continuously emitted by the people around made Nania shudder.

"For some reason, it seems we are all in this dream," Clements said.

"It’s like we are all connected in a dream," Xiao Yi surveyed the surroundings, "but this situation doesn’t seem like my dream. It’s more like we’ve been dragged into a dream."

Xiao Yi didn’t think that he was dreaming again, seeing the same bewildered faces of others who had also arrived here.

To call this a dream would be far too realistic.

If that was the case, then where does the boundary between dream and reality lie?
