Chapter 50 - 50 50 The Real World and the False Dreamland
50: Chapter 50: The Real World and the False Dreamland 50: Chapter 50: The Real World and the False Dreamland Everyone sees the world differently.
Chen Yan didn’t understand how Wang Yunxiao could face these monsters so calmly.
Yes, monsters.
The large black rat in Wang Yunxiao’s eyes was a profoundly terrifying creature in her view.
That wasn’t just any rat, it was clearly a fierce beast!
It opened its gaping mouth, showing its full set of sharp, menacing fangs, which even had strands of blood-red meat from some animal hanging from them.
Its fur was so dense and heavy, just like human hair…
No, more like the hair of a Drowned Ghost, wet and gloomy, emitting the foul stench of a bloated, rotting corpse under the smoke of fire.
And that Third Master Ding, he looked even more sinister and frightening.
He was as thin as a stick, his skin dry and yellow like aged talisman paper, his voice as raspy as sawing wood.
Many children hung from his body.
Children around three or four years old, with ponytails sticking up, dressed in red bellybands, resembling dolls that had leapt out of New Year paintings, yet their skin was as pale as ghosts.
Some clutched Third Master Ding’s arms, others rode on his neck…
Sensing Chen Yan’s gaze, these ghost dolls looked at each other then simultaneously revealed a sinister, menacing smile toward Chen Yan.
Can’t you see them?
Chen Yan really wanted to ask Wang Yunxiao, but dared not.
She even couldn’t bear to look at him directly.
It was a kind of instinctive fear, warning her desperately not to look too much.
It would be lethal.
In her mind, she even imagined a vivid scene where Wang Yunxiao raised his hand to grip her throat and effortlessly twisted her neck, breaking it.
A strong premonition of death left Chen Yan cold and at a loss.
“This is the truest side of this world.”
A voice whispered in her heart.
Yes, even though Chen Yan didn’t want to believe it, there was no other explanation for why the loafer, who studied in the same classroom as her, was not scared of these demons and could even chat and laugh with them.
The only reason was that he himself was a monster more terrifying than these creatures.
If she discovered this secret, she would be silenced.
“This world is not normal.”
Yes, during this time, the world Chen Yan saw was vastly different from the one she had lived in for the past dozen years.
Dangers everywhere, filled with anomalies, the sky fragmented, the earth riddled with holes…
“In fact, you’ve already realized this, you just don’t want to admit it.”
The sunset in the sky, like carelessly smeared paint, so unreal.
An invisible storm whistled past.
The buildings and the vegetation around her scattered like sand in the wind.
“You should wake up from this nightmare…”
“Chen Yan!”
Wang Yunxiao’s voice suddenly rang in her ears, abruptly awakening her from her dazed state.
Everything around her returned to normal, as if all that had just been a hallucination conjured up in her mind.
Chen Yan shuddered violently, instinctively looking around.
“No…
there doesn’t seem to be anything abnormal…”
Although she said that, she still didn’t dare to make eye contact with Wang Yunxiao.
Fortunately, Wang Yunxiao didn’t say much either.
He had negotiated terms with the rat.
Old Man Chen got up from the bed, looking completely rejuvenated and his face glowing.
Chen Yan held the money in her hand, unsure of what to do.
The Fengshui Master she had invited from far away seemed to have done nothing, yet the problem was solved.
She dared not approach the huge black rat that had been troubling them, she could only hide in the house and bow from a distance, praying for the Immortal Family to depart.
As for Wang Yunxiao, his actions today had earned him praises and amazement from neighbors around, catching and grilling the black rat and calling Third Master Ding his brother.
It wouldn’t be long before his reputation in the Jianghu World soared to new heights.
And then, the matter passed just like that.
In some respect, the Chinese had an extraordinarily strong ability to accept tales of spirits and oddities.
Things such as encountering ghosts on the road, then pretending to be ghosts and selling ghosts, or encountering a female ghost seducing travelers in the middle of the night, and fighting off the ghost until she fled in panic…
All of these were quite normal incidents.
Chen Yan followed Wang Yunxiao back to school in a daze, and when she reached the school gate, a cold wind blew over her, suddenly making her mind clear, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
Feeling Wang Yunxiao’s gaze, she couldn’t help but whisper softly, “These days, I feel like I’ve been dreaming…”
“Don’t you even have the courage to dream?”
Startled by Wang Yunxiao’s counter-question, Chen Yan froze.
“You’re the class leader, your academic performance is in the top three of our entire grade.
I thought you would be someone with dreams.”
Wang Yunxiao counted on his fingers for her, “Look, you have such good grades, continuing your education is normal, right?
If you can keep up these scores in high school, isn’t it reasonable to aim for college?
Don’t you ever think about getting into the best university?
After graduating from college, with our country’s current overall educational level, who knows how many places will be competing to hire you.”
“Chen Yan, you surely can’t be lacking even this bit of a dream, just thinking about inheriting your dad’s skills and shop in roasting seeds and nuts, right?”
“What are you talking about!
That’s not what I mean!”
Chen Yan immediately replied in frustration, “I just feel…
the things I’ve recently encountered are a bit too much for me to handle…”
“Mentally immature.”
“Huh?”
“I’m not insulting you, didn’t Teacher Liu tell us before, with our current level of mental development, we really can’t handle this kind of knowledge…”
Halfway through his sentence, Wang Yunxiao suddenly pushed Chen Yan into the school gate and turned his head towards another direction.
The next moment, the flash of a camera nearly blinded him.
When he had arrived at the school gate earlier, he had noticed a man across the street wearing a cap and dungarees, sitting on the curb looking around, not sure who he was waiting for.
As the man raised his camera, Wang Yunxiao immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, with a click, the flash went off, aiming right at him and Chen Yan.
Damn, are there paparazzi already these days?
Wang Yunxiao didn’t know what the man was trying to capture, but whatever it was, the mere act had already provoked and threatened him.
He rushed towards the man in three quick steps, who looked panic-stricken, clutching the camera tightly against his chest, still shouting, “What are you doing?
I’m a reporter, don’t touch me…”
Wang Yunxiao snatched the camera from his arms and, grabbing his collar with the other hand, smashed the camera down on his head.
“Reporting on your grandpa in the middle of the night!”
