I entered Lin Xiao's dream again.
This time, I was more prepared.
Lin Xiao's dream was still chaotic, but I was no longer as helpless as I had been the first time. I decided that I would save her, fully aware of the consequences. As expected, I became an ordinary person. I asked Lin Xiao if she wanted to leave her father; I could take her away. She said her father was her only family. I left in silence; everyone has their own path, and I had tried my best.
Lin Xiao recovered, but her father noticed something was off. He captured Lin Xiao and sent me a video, threatening to sell her to loan sharks if I didn't come. He had accumulated a lot of gambling debts. I had lost my abilities, and going would be risky. Yet, I still went because Lin Xiao's father was a heartless bastard. He actually wanted to violate his own daughter. When the video showed Lin Gang tearing at Lin Xiao's clothes, I agreed to go; I couldn't just stand by and watch, or my conscience would torment me. Lin Gang laughed arrogantly.
In the eyes of villains, we were constrained by our principles. How smug he was! When I arrived, I saw Lin Xiao tied to a chair, her clothes in tatters, barely alive. My eyes turned red as I demanded Lin Gang release her. I exchanged myself for Lin Xiao.
Lin Gang knew I had some abilities and didn't dare approach me. He threw me some anesthetic and told me to take it. Once he saw me swallow it, he stepped back and stood at the door. The drug hit hard; I began to feel dazed. Struggling, I untied the ropes binding Lin Xiao and fed her the drug from my own body.
The person lying on the ground unable to move stirred. I had collapsed on the floor and took off my jacket to cover her.
Lin Xiao's father looked at this scene with tears in his eyes.
When Lin Xiao opened her eyes and saw me, she was in tears. I comforted her, telling her it was okay and to leave. "You need to live, don't come back." Leave your father and live well. Someone like him isn't worth remembering.
Lin Xiao's father bought me because I might possess a secret medicine. Therefore, the price was high. I initially wanted to find an opportunity to escape. However, I realized that the other party had a familiar aura, similar to those who were chasing me.
I did not resist and was taken away by them. Even though my abilities were gone, my skills from these years were still decent. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, escaping for self-preservation would not be a problem.
I was blindfolded and could not see the road, only able to be led by someone. "What are you doing!" A familiar voice rang out. I wondered how Zhou Shu ended up here.
"Great Protector, someone owes gambling debts and has pawned his son to us as labor."
"Okay, you all go ahead!" The footsteps faded away.
My heart sank. I recalled how he once said we were brothers in life and death.
Ha. The item needed to save Lin Xiao, the Phantom Bone, was also something he guided me to find. So it wasn't surprising that I lost my abilities.
My previous plans always ended in failure; it wasn't hard to understand the reason now.
We passed through a bright area and arrived in complete darkness. I was imprisoned here. Surrounding me were cages containing different people: the elderly, children, women. They were all filled with fear. Yet I smiled. Over the years, I had trained myself well to save others.
The ability has disappeared, so what?
I can just practice again.
I simply hadn't found the right nourishment before.
Now it has come.
The Dark Element that other dreamers fear is my training material.
Who would believe it?
After saving Lin Xiao, I absorbed those runes.
These runes can help me absorb the Dark Element.
Fortunately, I haven't told anyone this news.
Now an opportunity has come.
So, one must not reveal all their cards.
One must always be cautious of others.
Since my father gave my mother sleeping pills when I was eight,
my mother never woke up again.
My father abandoned me with my grandparents.
He started a new family, and I learned that the idea of a harmonious marriage is a lie.
From that moment on, I no longer fully trusted anyone.
I have my secrets, my privacy.
I closed my eyes to rest and restore my skills.
After losing the ability to traverse dreams, I was trapped in the real world.
As a result, here, after just one day, I recovered.
My power became purer.
Looking at the people around me, I kept silent.
I could leave freely by myself; what about them?
I sensed a huge disturbance in the Dream Layer, someone was using their power to control the entire Dream Layer. The balance of the Dream Layer was about to be broken, and if successful, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chaos erupted outside, and those who didn't want to be controlled began to struggle as well.
I realized this was an opportunity.
Using the power I had regained, I wove the illusion I had been maintaining while sitting cross-legged with my eyes closed.
I slipped out.
I felt a powerful energy and rushed toward the source of that energy.
Sure enough, there was someone. I engaged in a fierce confrontation with the other party. Our powers were astonishing, causing the entire Dream Layer to tremble because of us.
During the duel, I discovered the identity of my opponent. It turned out he was from the Judgment Alliance. He had been using the power of the Dream Layer to control others for his own purposes. If I disrupted this plan, it would mean a complete fallout with the Judgment Alliance. In their eyes, I would no longer be a mere insignificant mouse; I would have to face an entire massive organization.
What should I do? I needed to ensure the balance of the Dream Layer; otherwise, everyone would be harmed. I am not a saint; I fear death, but within my capabilities, I am unafraid.
Understanding the key point, I launched a counterattack, my fierce demeanor instilling fear in my opponent. One after another, people came from afar and saw that things were not going well. They ran away again. Damn it, what a bunch of cowards; they really know how to hide.
Unable to catch anyone, I could only take advantage of the chaos to rescue all those who had been imprisoned. Once everything was handled, I returned to reality and found many missed calls on my phone.
As I prepared to call back, my phone rang.
“Hello, is this Zhou Jin?”
“Yes, it is.”
“We finally reached you. Your friend Lin Xiao has been injured and is hospitalized at New Dream First Hospital. Please come over to handle her admission procedures.”
I was shocked; what happened? She should have been fine after taking her medicine. Unless she got hurt again afterward. Thinking of that beast Lin Gang, I suppressed my anger and said, “Okay, I'll be there right away.”
When I arrived at the hospital, Lin Xiao was still in the emergency room. She had not yet escaped danger; all I could do was wait outside her ward and look in.
