Chapter 1115: Chapter 1108: Sleepwalking

You awoke amidst chaos and found yourself lying on a grassy field in a valley. Stone walls towered around you, lush green grass beneath, and warm sunlight above.

You got up from the ground, your mind still in disarray, unable to comprehend what had happened. However, deep in your heart, there was a blurry yet familiar figure. Thinking of this person made your heart race even more, so you tried to find them.

You walked along the clear stream next to the meadow, seemingly guided by something. About ten minutes later, you arrived in front of a house.

The house had no roof, just walls built from stacked stones. Above the house was the protruding Natural Bridge, shielding it from the rain, thus making a roof unnecessary.

You stared blankly at the house, feeling an inexplicable familiarity as if you had seen such a house before.

You listened, and it was as if someone was softly calling your name. What was your name, though? Listen carefully...

Luo’er... yes, your name was Luo’er. Who had given you that name?

You tried to recall this, and an image of someone radiating light slowly emerged in your mind. The brilliance was so intense that you could hardly see the person’s face. But she seemed to be looking at you, smiling at you, lovingly watching over you... who was she?

A severe cough erupted from behind you, a sound that filled you with terror and fear. Luo’er, why were you afraid of this sound?

Yes, you remembered now, because that sound signified death, it meant separation.

When you turned around again, the radiant figure had vanished without a trace. You felt a hollow pain inside, overwhelming pain that made you involuntarily crouch down. You painfully opened your mouth, but found that you couldn’t make a sound, unable to vent the inner turmoil.

You lay down in agony, but no matter how hard you tried, you remained voiceless, let alone able to speak.

You heard the distant sound of thunder, and when you looked up again, the sky had changed color, dark clouds obscuring the sky, black thunderclouds rolling, lightning intermittently streaking across the sky. You watched the tumbling clouds, seemingly coming closer and closer to you.

A giant hand suddenly appeared from the dark thunderclouds and reached straight for you.

Resist it, Luo’er.

You rose from the ground and ran towards the giant hand with nothing but your bare hands. Unsurprisingly, you couldn’t make any resistance and were firmly grasped by the hand, then slowly lifted up, taking you into the despairing thunderclouds.

In the rolling thunderclouds, you couldn’t see anything, the lightning emitted a dazzling light, but looking up, you only saw the reflection of the dark thunderclouds, you had no chance to see anything else.

You were enveloped and moved by the thundercloud. You saw the holy radiant figure again, but this time, the figure was slowly shattering into particles of starlight, dissipating into the thundercloud.

This was a heart-wrenchingly painful experience, painful enough to make you cry involuntarily. Yet, you still couldn’t make any sound.

The thunder in the thunderclouds was accompanied by the rumbling cough, and you gradually couldn’t see anything. Just when you were almost in despair, a white light suddenly shone on you, dispersing the surrounding clouds.

When the thunderclouds dispersed, you saw that you were in a hospital corridor, a long and dim corridor without ends in sight. The ceiling lights flickered on and off, leaving you unable to make out your surroundings clearly.

The white light was like a spotlight, constantly shining on you. At this moment, you noticed that your eyes could only see in black and white. Everything around seemed colorless, except for black, white, and gray; you could hardly see any other colors.

The dull cough that signified death suddenly erupted at the far end of the deep corridor. Should you approach it or move away from it?

You began to run forward, trying to get away from that voice, but it seemed to always follow behind you.

Your body was small, and your limbs were short, so no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t run very far. Eventually, you stopped and decided to think for a moment, then turned and ran toward the direction of the coughing sound.

And as you started running towards the direction of the cough, the voice seemed to move away from you again. The long corridor seemed endless, no matter how hard you ran, you couldn’t reach that sound.

Suddenly, the coughing sound started to fade. You felt something and quickened your pace toward the source of the cough, but no matter how hard you tried, you remained distant from the sound, unable to reach it.

Finally, you abruptly stopped in your tracks. The coughing had completely stopped, and you couldn’t hear the sound that made you fearful yet felt eerily familiar.

You collapsed to the ground, clutching your chest in agony, your mouth agape in pain as a piece of your heart was torn away once again, the searing pain unbearable.

You struggled to make a sound, shivering with cold sweat, but the sweat droplets evaporating as soon as they hit the ground. Finally, with tremendous effort, you managed to produce a hoarse sound, your pain finally finding release.

The moment you made a sound, you saw the surroundings plunge into darkness, the boundless dark making you profoundly uneasy.

You saw a spotlight suddenly light up, an old man in a military uniform standing under the spotlight. The dazzling light shone on him, preventing you from seeing his face.

He reached out to you, and you felt a long-lost warmth, so you reached out to him.

But in that instant, his hand suddenly turned into black vines, wrapping tightly around you. You looked in horror, and under the spotlight, there was no man, only black vines attacking from every direction, wrapping around your right hand, your left hand, your right foot, your left foot...

The vines were covered with sharp thorns that deeply penetrated your body. Due to the pain, you let out a cry of despair.

Your despair caught the attention of others, as the spotlight lit up again in the darkness. You saw the old man in military uniform watching you, you tried to beg him for help, but he just coldly shook his head and then turned and disappeared.

At this moment, what were you thinking? Were you angry, or were you desperate? Why did you hate him, why did you hate that man in the military uniform? Because he gave you hope, yet dragged you into hell.

In this world, no one can protect you. The ones who loved you the most, either left you or betrayed you. Thus, your heart began to grow cold and stiff, and with this hardening, you no longer felt pain, only numbness.

Rage filled your eyes, and when you opened them again, the surroundings were no longer dim. You stood in the schoolyard, looking around, and all you could see were shades of gray. You saw no colors, only black, white, and gray.

Numb passerby mechanically walked past you, each wearing a cold mask on their faces, obscuring their emotions.

You looked up at the sky, where a black sun hung. You couldn’t feel the warmth from the sun, only a chilling coolness, making you feel even more desperate.

What should you do now, Luo’er, you seem to have lost a lot, but you’re unable to speak out, unable to express the pain in your heart.

If that’s the case, why not stay silent, and use your actions to fight for everything you desire. In this world, no one is worthy of your trust.

You lowered your head, not knowing when a cold mask had appeared in your hands. This wasn’t a coincidence; you wanted this mask. So, you hesitated no more and put on the mask, and from then on, no one could see your heart anymore.

Luo’er, this is your first mission. Escape this school, escape this world of only black and white memories, go to another world, search for those things you yearn for but cannot obtain.

Remember, in this world, no one is worthy of your trust, even if someone tries to approach you under the guise of kinship, do not pay attention. He is tempting you, wanting to trap you in this world.
