Unemployed Xie Liang wanted to go for a swim. It was just an ordinary day until he got on that bus…
A perilous, bizarre otherworld where a slight carelessness could cost you your life.

Chapter 58 Dinner Time Arrives
Xie Liang has had trouble sleeping recently and often dreams of Su Yubai, as if Su Yubai can control his dreams.
That day, he came out to eat with big dark circles under his eyes because he didn't sleep well.
Seeing this, Xu He asked distressedly, "Xiao Liang, have you been worried about something lately?"
Xie Liang yawned and said weakly, "I'm always dreaming and I didn't sleep well."
"After dinner, I'll take you to the hospital to get some medicine. Then you can have a good sleep."
Xie Liang didn't want to go to the hospital, so he laughed it off: "It's just a small problem, there's no need to go to the hospital."
"Be obedient." Xu He said in the tone of an old woman.
After dinner, Xu He drove Xie Liang to the nearest People's Hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor prescribed various tests for Xie Liang, and the results showed that there was nothing wrong with his body.
The doctor simply prescribed him some sleeping pills and told him to play less electronic products and to go home and get a good sleep after taking the medicine.
Just as Xu He was driving Xie Liang home, Xie Liang felt that half-asleep feeling again. He sat in the passenger seat and squinted his eyes uncontrollably.
Just like before, almost every time he fell asleep, he would come to the island that appeared during the second advent - the island where Su Yubai was.
The island was deserted, with only the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
Xie Liang has been having trouble sleeping lately and is really annoyed.
He shouted to the sea: "Come out!"
"Ah! Su Yubai, do you know that I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time!"
After a while, Su Yubai, wearing moon-white retro clothes, rose from the sea into the air and floated in front of Xie Liang.
Like many times before, although Su Yubai flew out of the sea, his whole body was dry and not wet by the sea water.
Xie Liang was a little overwhelmed and said, "Did you drag me in here? How did I end up here as soon as I fell asleep?"
Su Yubai's face looked very bad, showing a sickly grayish-white color: "Xiaoliang, are you unhappy to see me? You used to love playing with me the most..."
Seeing his hurt expression, Xie Liang restrained his emotions and changed the subject: "Brother Yu Bai, why are you here?"
Su Yubai hung his head like a wronged golden retriever: "Xiaoliang, you've asked this question many times, I really don't remember."
"You once came out wearing a white tiger mask to save me. How did you find me?"
Su Yubai pulled out a black dagger from his waist and handed it to Xie Liang.
The dagger was finely crafted, pitch black, and the blade glowed with a faint purple glow, making it clear at first glance that it was no ordinary item.
Xie Liang took the exquisite dagger and started playing with it: "What is the name of this dagger?"
"I don't know, but it's always hanging on my waist. As long as my telekinesis is strong enough, I can use it to get to you."
Xie Liang put the dagger back in his hand: "Can you demonstrate it?"
Su Yubai shook his head: "No, using this dagger to make you dream every time will consume a lot of my energy, so..."
"Then you still..."
"I miss you so much." Su Yubai said as he leaned his head on Xie Liang's shoulder.
Xie Liang pretended to casually pull his shoulder away and said, "Then tell me how you use it."
"Concentrate on thinking of you, draw it in the air, and jump into the crack that appears. Then you can come to my dream, or I can come to you."
Su Yubai lowered his eyes and continued, "Xiaoliang, can you stay here with me? You promised me that you would always be with me..."
Xie Liang's whole body began to feel lighter. He knew he was about to wake up: "Brother Yu Bai, I..."
After a while, Xie Liang disappeared in front of Su Yubai, just like many times before.
Su Yubai stared blankly at the place where Xie Liang had just been, and murmured, "Xiao Liang, I'm so lonely."
When Xie Liang woke up, he realized that he had slept in the car for more than two hours, and Xu He's car had already been parked in the parking lot downstairs.
After Xu He noticed that he was awake, he took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and got out of the car. He walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and said, "Take the medicine and then have a good sleep."
"Um...Okay."
After Xie Liang returned home, he took some medicine and went back to his bedroom to sleep. He did not dream of Su Yubai again this time and slept very comfortably. When he woke up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Xu He, but he didn't expect that Xu He hadn't left yet.
When Xu He saw Xie Liang, he put down the laptop in his hand and said softly, "I'll go heat up some food for you." Then he walked towards the kitchen.
Xie Liang stretched, looked at the warm light, listened to the sounds coming from the kitchen, and thought of Xu He's care for him during this period - he always came to cook and clean for him on time.
Xu He has a calm personality, giving people a feeling of peace and tranquility. Xie Liang always can't understand why Xu He treats him so well.
After a while, Xu He came out of the kitchen with food and waved to Xie Liang at the dining table.
Xie Liang walked over and took the meal Xu He had prepared for him: "You eat too."
Xu He smiled faintly: "I have eaten."
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness and weightlessness came over him again. Xie Liang said anxiously, "It's happening again! The ring..."
Xie Liang hurriedly stumbled towards the bedroom, fell beside the bedside table, and fumbled with his hands to put on the storage ring Xu He had given him. Inside the ring was his shoulder bag and Xu He's black sword. He had forgotten to take it with him when he took it out to play with it last night. Fortunately, he still had time.
Xie Liang's vision was blurred, and he vaguely saw Xu He walking towards him in a hurry: "I... haven't eaten enough..." After saying that, he fainted.
Xu He endured the extreme dizziness and carried Xie Liang to the bed. At this moment, a greater sense of weightlessness hit him. He let himself fall beside Xie Liang.
Looking at Xie Liang's delicate features, Xu He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch him, but his hand just reached halfway into the air before it fell weakly on Xie Liang's abdomen.
