Huanhuan opened her eyes, waking up.

She sat up and realized that Bai Di, who should be sleeping beside her, was gone.

Where had he gone in the middle of the night?

Huanhuan was very puzzled. She lifted the blanket, put on her shoes, and walked out of the bedroom.

There was no one downstairs either.

Not only Bai Di, but Xue Ling and Xuan Wei were also nowhere to be seen.

Huanhuan’s doubts grew. She pushed the door open and walked out. She saw that it was dark outside. Only the empty s.p.a.ce below was filled with many torches.

There were many beasts kneeling in the open s.p.a.ce. They crossed their hands in front of their chests and looked forward piously.

Huanhuan followed their gaze and saw a big tree in front of them.

Under the tree stood a young girl in a white skirt and black s.h.i.+rt.

The girl’s face was covered by a white mask. A red lotus was between her eyebrows.

She raised her arm, revealing the silver bell on her wrist. Her bare feet turned gently on the gra.s.s, and her skirt swayed like a wave.

The crisp sound of a bell spread through the forest.

Countless golden flowers bloomed on the tree. The petals fell and formed a golden carpet under her feet. It was like the finest brocade that led to heaven.

The beasts began to kneel. A faint chanting came from the horizon.

Huanhuan saw that the girl’s dance was extremely familiar. It was identical to the dance she had once danced.

Involuntarily, she walked over. Her feet left no mark on the golden petals.

The girl seemed to notice Huanhuan approaching. Her bare feet drew circles on the golden petals. She danced as she walked toward Huanhuan.

Huanhuan looked at her and murmured, “Who are you?”

The girl’s fingertips brushed her cheek. Her voice was ethereal. “I’m you…”

“Are you me?”

“Yes,” the girl whispered intimately into her ear as she wrapped her arms around her waist. “I’m you.”

Huanhuan’s gaze gradually became unfocused, and her body involuntarily accepted the girl’s approach.

Their bodies gradually became transparent as if they were about to merge.

At that moment, a large hand pressed against Huanhuan’s shoulder.

“Huanhuan!”

Huanhuan was shocked. She turned around and saw a handsome man standing behind her. She saw his face clearly and couldn’t help but call out, “Prophet?”

However, the other party said, “I’m not the prophet. I’m your father.”

Huanhuan: “…”

‘Although I know you’re Little Brat, it’s too much for you to call yourself my father.’

The system looked exactly like the prophet. His eyes were hidden behind the cloth made from shark silk. His thin lips parted. “Don’t believe all of this. What you’re seeing is just a dream.”

‘A dream?’ Huanhuan blinked slowly as if she didn’t understand what he was talking about.

The system approached her. “Wake up. This is just a dream.”

Huanhuan looked around and realized that the scene around her had changed. The beasts had all disappeared, turning into piles of white bones. The big tree had also withered, leaving only a withered branch. The petals on the ground had long turned to ashes.

The dreamlike scenery just now instantly turned into h.e.l.l.

As for the masked girl, she was still standing where she was. Her white dress and black s.h.i.+rt were already tattered and stained with blood.

The girl looked at Huanhuan coldly. Her gaze was like a poisonous knife that stabbed her.

“Why didn’t you save us?”

Huanhuan’s scalp went numb. She couldn’t help but say, “I can’t save you. I can’t save anyone…”

“You could have saved us, but you gave us up!”

Huanhuan hugged her head and kept denying it. “I didn’t, I didn’t!”

“Everyone is dead. Why are you the only one who survived? Why didn’t you die with us?!”

Huanhuan’s head hurt. “No! It’s not like that!”

The system said, “Calm down. Don’t let the dream affect your mind.”

Huanhuan couldn’t hear him. Her emotions were very bad. She was trembling and emitting a faint black aura.

The system’s expression changed slightly.

“It’s time for you to wake up.” He took out a bone knife and stabbed it into Huanhuan’s chest!

Blood sprayed!

Huanhuan’s eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief. Finally, she collapsed into a pool of blood.

“Ah!” Huanhuan suddenly opened her eyes!

She saw the ceiling above her and gasped for breath. It took her a moment to recover from the nightmare.

Whew. Fortunately, it was just a dream.

Huanhuan sat up and touched her chest. The feeling of her heart being pierced by the bone knife was extremely real. Even now, she still felt terrified.

Huh? Where had Bai Di gone?

Huanhuan realized that there was nothing beside her. Bai Di, who should have been sleeping beside her, was gone.

She lifted the blanket and sat up. She put on her shoes and walked downstairs.

Not only Bai Di, but Xue Ling and Xuan Wei were also gone.

Where had the three of them gone in the middle of the night?

Filled with doubts, Huanhuan pushed open the door and walked out. It was dark outside, except for many torches in the open s.p.a.ce below.

There were many beasts kneeling where the fire illuminated.

Under the tree, a young girl in a white dress and black s.h.i.+rt danced with a white mask.

A crisp bell rang.

Huanhuan looked at the scene in front of her in a daze. Why was she back?

The dancing girl saw Huanhuan coming and stopped dancing. She reached out to her. “You’re here…”

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Who are you?”

“I’m you…”

The girl hugged Huanhuan as if she wanted to become one with her.

The system appeared again and pulled Huanhuan back.

He frowned and asked, “Why are you back here?”

Huanhuan looked at him in a daze. “I don’t know. Why are we here again?”

Without another word, the system took out his bone knife. “It might hurt a little, but this is the only way I can send you away.”

The bone knife pierced her chest again, and blood filled the air.

Huanhuan was in so much pain that she couldn’t breathe. She fell back into a pool of blood.

Before she lost consciousness, she heard the system say, “Don’t come again.”

Huanhuan opened her eyes again.

It was still the familiar ceiling, and there was still no one beside her.

Bai Di, Xue Ling, and Xuan Wei were all gone.

She slowly pushed open the door and walked out. She saw the beasts kneeling outside and the young girl dancing under the tree.

The girl hugged her again. Her voice was ethereal, but her words were demonic.

“You won’t be able to escape.”

The system appeared again. He reached out and pulled Huanhuan over. “Didn’t I tell you not to come again?” he asked helplessly.

Huanhuan wanted to cry. “I didn’t want to come either, but every time I open my eyes, I find that I’m still in a dream. What can I do? I’m desperate too!”

The system sighed. He pulled out his bone knife. “I feel like a homicidal maniac now.”

Huanhuan was terrified when she saw the knife, but if she didn’t let him stab her, she wouldn’t be able to leave the dream.

She could only close her eyes and grit her teeth. “Come on!”

The bone knife pierced her chest, causing her to wake up again.

But when she opened her eyes, she found that there was still no one beside her.

The girl in the white skirt and black s.h.i.+rt stood under the tree and smiled at her.

“I told you, you won’t be able to escape.”
