Chapter 725 Strange Dream
Chapter 725 Strange Dream
"Mom! Dad! Save me! Don't leave me!" she shouted frantically.
But her voice didn't sound like that of a ten-year-old girl—it sounded more like a soul trapped in a nightmare, desperately crying for help.
Ms. Lin was so scared that she took a few steps back and bumped into the wall.
"W-what's going on!"
she asked with a trembling voice.
Chen Yile didn't answer her. His eyes were fixed on Hanhan.
Although the girl's reaction was intense, her eyes were still empty and confused.
"She's dreaming," he whispered, "but she can no longer distinguish between dreams and reality."
At this moment, Hanhan suddenly stopped moving.
Her body slowly fell back onto the bed, her face regaining its calm expression, but her empty eyes remained open.
"She's lost in a dream," Chen Yile said, "but we have to find a way to wake her up."
Ms. Lin knelt beside the bed and held her daughter's hand tightly.
Chen Yile stood up and walked to the window. The rain was still falling, and he looked into the distance through the rain curtain.
"I know someone who's good at witchcraft. I wonder if she can help me enter someone else's dream world."
Ms. Lin was stunned: "Enter Hanhan's dream?"
"That's right." Chen Yile nodded, "I must enter her spiritual world and find a way to wake her up."
"If she doesn't, she might be stuck in this dream forever."
Chen Yile sent a message to Lingyue and briefly told her about the situation here.
Lingyue said to give it to her. After a while, the phone rang. Lingyue sent a message: "I have prepared the Gu that will allow you to enter other people's dreams. I will send it to you now."
Chen Yile turned around and looked at Ms. Lin: "To be honest, I don't know if this poison has any negative effects on your daughter, but if nothing is done, she might not survive a day. Are you willing to let me try?"
Tears welled up in Ms. Lin's eyes. "As long as you can save my daughter, I will do whatever you say."
Chen Yile nodded. He could feel cold sweat oozing from his palms. Hanhan's life was in his hands.
After a while, Lingyue came to Chen Yile with Tongmeng Gu.
Chen Yile stood in front of Hanhan's bed and took a deep breath.
He could sense a strange aura in the air, as if an invisible force was trying to prevent him from entering the girl's spiritual world.
"Are you ready?"
Lingyue's voice came from behind.
Chen Yile nodded: "Ready."
Lingyue's fingers gently stroked his back, and a warm energy instantly surged into his body.
He could feel his consciousness being pulled by some force, his vision began to blur, and countless tiny sounds rang in his ears, like wind chimes swaying in the wind.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on an unfamiliar street.
The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Chen Yile looked around and found himself in a hospital corridor.
White walls, light blue floor tiles, and disinfection lamps hanging on the wall, everything is exactly the same as in a real hospital.
But time seemed to have stopped here. The corridor was empty, and the disinfection lights made a slight humming sound, which was particularly harsh in the silence.
Chen Yile suddenly noticed a calendar hanging on the wall. The date displayed on it was three days ago, but in the real world, three full days had passed.
He realized that every minute here was equivalent to an hour in the real world.
This meant he had to find a solution quickly, or he might be trapped here forever.
Just then, he heard footsteps coming from the front. It was a girl in a white nurse's uniform, pushing a cart full of medicines towards him.
Chen Yile recognized her; this was Hanhan's mother in real life.
But strangely, this "mother" had a strange smile on her face, and even winked at Chen Yile when she passed by him.
"and many more!"
Chen Yile subconsciously reached out to grab her, but his hand passed through the air and caught nothing.
The figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Chen Yile continued to move forward and found that every scene here was surprisingly similar to the real world.
In the school classroom, students are listening attentively; on the park bench, old people are basking in the sun; in the supermarket, cashiers are counting goods.
But upon closer inspection, you'll find some subtle differences.
For example, although the teacher teaching in the classroom looks exactly the same as in real life, her movements appear mechanical and stiff.
Although there are a wide variety of goods on the supermarket shelves, there is no production date on the packaging boxes.
Although the trees in the park are lush and green, their leaves have an unnatural sheen.
What makes Chen Yile most uneasy is that in this illusory world, everyone turns a blind eye to him.
No matter how he waved, shouted, or even tried to touch them, no one reacted.
Just then, he saw Hanhan.
Hanhan was sitting on a bench with a cup of hot milk in front of her.
Her mother was sitting next to her, telling her interesting stories from school.
But when Chen Yile got closer, he discovered an astonishing fact - Hanhan's eyes were completely transparent, like two pieces of pure crystal.
Behind her, the world that should have existed was a void of darkness.
"Hanhan, wake up!"
Chen Yile shouted loudly.
But Hanhan didn't react. She was still immersed in her own world, with a satisfied smile on her face.
At this moment, he noticed that the glass of milk in front of the girl was slowly tilting. The liquid in the glass slowly flowed down, forming a strange black mark on the ground.
Chen Yile knew that the time for the dream-sharing Gu to take effect was running out, and Hanhan had to be woken up as soon as possible.
He took a deep breath and concentrated all his mental strength. The golden light condensed into a rune in his hand.
"Dream-breaking spell!"
A dazzling golden light struck towards Hanhan.
"No, I don't want to leave!"
Hanhan screamed, and the entire dream world gradually collapsed along with her thoughts...
When Chen Yile woke up from his coma, he found himself lying in Hanhan's bedroom.
Ms. Lin was looking at Hanhan worriedly, her face full of tears.
"Hanhan finally woke up!" she said chokingly.
Chen Yile sat up and looked around. He saw that Hanhan had woken up and was looking at the scene in front of him blankly, as if her memory had not recovered immediately.
But after a while, Hanhan seemed to remember everything and called out to Ms. Lin, "Mom!"
Ms. Lin cried and hugged Hanhan.
According to Hanhan, she felt that the world in her dreams was real and she could not tell the difference.
It was not until Chen Yile shattered her illusion that she realized the abnormalities that she had been deliberately ignoring.
