"Bo!"
Along with the familiar sound of bubbles bursting, Tang Yiling's breath was completely eliminated from the place together with the bubbles again.
The curse, who was at the forefront of the entire ghost group, looked around blankly with white eyes covered with black lines; his twitching breath was always sparing no effort to search every inch of the air that was filled with Tang Yiling's breath.
The moment Tang Yiling's aura disappeared, the group of ghosts that had been preparing to attack fell into a long dead silence.
Without the guidance of their breath, they now stood in place like terrifying and strange tombstones.
The starry night sky was being swallowed up bit by bit by thick dark clouds. The unchanging starry sky... also changed for the first time at this moment.
The cemetery maze, which had lost its starlight embellishment and its only source of light, fell into a dark shadow together with the ghosts.
"Jingle Bell……"
The dark atmosphere did not last long, and the crisp sound of bells that followed resounded through the entire cemetery; the dark clouds that were as thick as lead stone quietly dispersed, and the stars that followed illuminated the entire cemetery again. Cemetery.
At the same time, the light of a bright moon also fell on the cemetery. The cold moonlight completely illuminates the high walls of the cemetery!
The protruding carvings on the high wall of the cemetery are fully exposed in the moonlight, and the carvings under the moonlight seem to have a bit more agility.
"Buzz..."
A sound as low as the chirping of insects came from inside the high wall, and ripples appeared due to the moonlight where the carvings were.
The carving in the center of the ripples is none other than Tang Yiling in human form. Bathed in the moonlight, he still closed his eyes tightly, but the moonlight like a clear stream always flows on the carving.
"Ouch!!!"
The roar of the hound followed the sound of the bell, which echoed throughout the cemetery, and the brief moonlight disappeared quickly with the roar of the hound.
The moonlight flowing like ripples on the carvings also fell silent at the same time, and the originally dense group of cursed ghosts also disappeared following the roar of the hounds.
After the cold moonlight dissipated, the faint starlight once again became the only light source that could illuminate the cemetery.
Under the light of the stars, the shadows cast by the high walls obscured all the high walls with textures; darkness swallowed up the last light.
"Buzz...buzz..."
Light ripples raised the flag from the darkness, and bright white light burst out from the darkness again. Although it is just a ray of fluorescent light under the bright moon, it is the stream of light that carries it after all!
tread!
In the darkness, the fireflies swayed slightly, and firm footsteps sounded.
tread! tread!
The stream of fireflies kept swaying in the darkness, and the footsteps came closer and closer in the darkness; the originally blurry outline gradually became clearer as the darkness faded.
Under the starry sky, a young man wearing a black windbreaker stood there; although the large hood and windbreaker covered most of the young man's silhouette, his eyes that could easily penetrate the darkness were still exposed to the starlight. .
However, as he completely stepped out of the dark prison, his bright and dazzling eyes gradually disappeared under the starry sky.
"This time, I really gained something..." Tang Yiling raised her head and looked at the eternal night sky, a smile appeared on her lips involuntarily; her eyes, which were originally covered by the bright white moonlight, also regained their original color.
"Counting the time...it's time for me to 'wake up'."
"but……"
Tang Yiling turned around and looked back at the towering maze cemetery that stretched as far as the eye could see; the bright white moonlight flowed through his eyes again, revealing the true corner of the "nightmare" for him who had been covered by the veil.
"Huh...huh..."
The cold wind blowing across his face was still biting, and Yongye was swallowed up by the white mist at some point.
The accumulated fog moves slowly with the cold wind, and it seems that you can vaguely see the square outlines close together, standing quietly in the fog.
Tang Yiling, who was standing on the spot, slowly turned his head and his eyes slowly swept across the white mist in front of him. "Is it originally the setting of [a dream within a dream]? Then everything I see now, will it also be an epiphyllum in a dream?"
His bright white eyes once again glanced at the mist in front of him; but this time, all the surrounding scenes did not disappear like the flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water.
"It seems that this is the new level of nightmare realm, or this is the true appearance of this level of nightmare realm!"
Tang Yiling reached out and touched the inner pocket of his windbreaker. An old golden pocket watch was lying quietly in his palm; the sound of the clicking gears seemed to indicate to Tang Yiling that it was not a part of nothingness.
Listening closely to the sound of gears that were always running in the pocket watch, Tang Yiling let out a breath. "Fortunately, the pocket watch is still there, otherwise we might have wasted a lot of unnecessary time facing all the unknown nightmares that will follow..."
Opening the pocket watch, the red engraved pattern has already gone through most of it, and the orange engraved pattern has once again taken up the majority.
Tang Yiling, who was in a dream at this time, felt that his vision suddenly became blurry, and the originally clear scene around him began to gradually collapse like a bubble.
At this time, the time represented by the red engraving in the pocket watch... is less than five minutes away; this is the timeline that distinguishes dreams from reality. When he opened the pocket watch, Tang Yiling already knew how he might wake up. Come.
Watching the surroundings gradually sinking into darkness, Tang Yiling slowly closed his eyes; then a sudden feeling of weightlessness came over him, and the touch from his skin made him feel the presence of the quilt covering his body again.
The moment he confirmed that he was about to wake up, Tang Yiling's spirit became tense; although he spent three full days in the dream, he still clearly remembered why he escaped into the dream.
Even though he already knew that the death and pain of his body had been cured, he was still prepared to accept the pain that nearly tore his spirit.
However, when he prepared himself to face the heartbreaking pain, he did not receive any feedback from his body. With her eyes closed, Tang Yiling lay flat on the single bed, gradually moving her somewhat stiff limbs in the quilt.
It wasn't until his limbs were no longer stiff, and after he confirmed that his body was basically healed and the pain had disappeared, that Tang Yiling slowly opened his eyes.
But the moment he opened his eyes, the room in front of him was completely dyed red, which once again hit his spirit hard!
"Holy crap! I'm not awake yet!"
After calming down, Tang Yiling's eyes flashed bright white again; the floor, walls, and ceiling of the room were all dyed bright red, without any change due to Tang Yiling's new pair of eyes.
"Is it because of the boiling blood before and the fiery pull that made my blood stain the whole room?"
Thinking of this, Tang Yiling first looked down at his skin, which had long since returned to its original appearance, and then raised his head and glanced at the red-stained room.
"Based on this amount of bleeding, I wouldn't believe it even if I said I was an ordinary person..."
With his back against the bed, Tang Yiling tried his best to ignore the red interference around him and began to move his stiff neck briefly.
While twisting his neck, Tang Yiling noticed that when he looked out the window through the curtains, it was still pitch black.
Tang Yiling frowned slightly, but did not take this matter to heart; after all, the sun rises relatively late in late winter, especially in some high latitude areas.
Until his body no longer felt stiff, Tang Yiling stood up lazily and walked quickly towards the bathroom in his slippers.
"Huh? That's strange. Did the hotel's water supply stop?"
Looking at the faucet that had been turned to the maximum but still not a drop of water came out, Tang Yiling showed a helpless expression; she picked up the 1.5 liter bottle of mineral water from the suitcase and walked into the bathroom again.
After washing his hands and face, Tang Yiling walked out of the bathroom carrying mineral water again.
He took off his pajamas and put on the clothes he had worn when he went to see his sister. His coat was changed into a loose black windbreaker. While adjusting his sleeves, he walked towards the window.
But when he lifted the curtains and looked out the window, his originally relaxed eyebrows tightened again. Because outside the window, except for darkness... there is nothing else.
Even though Tang Yiling used the fill light of his mobile phone to shine out the window, it was still pitch black.
"It seems that the curse in this tail room has not been completely eradicated."
Tang Yiling, who was alert, quickly walked towards the messy suitcase and took out the modern-looking hidden sword from a pile of clothes.
The appearance of the Hidden Blade is a combination of wrist guards and alloy armor, and it seems to have some kind of perception system installed in it.
