Chapter 166 Dream Oak Forest
In the dim and spacious cave, tiny silver-blue dots of light flashed in the black soil, and crystal clear plants glowing white were scattered on the cave walls.
Water vapor condenses into dew on the plants and falls along the branches.
“Bang—”
The water droplets sank into a deep pool, creating ripples and an ethereal sound echoing in it.
The water surface returned to calm, waiting for the next drop of dew to merge.
"Cough! Cough!" A suppressed cough sounded in the cave.
Fei Yi opened her eyes with difficulty, her right eye opened first, and her left eye suddenly felt a sharp pain. She couldn't help but close her eyes again.
When she opened her eyes again, the first thing she heard was the beating of her heart before she realized what was happening around her.
The warmth from Eddie's body finally penetrated her skin and reached her brain.
The scene of the last moment before coma returned, Eddie hugged her and fell.
She instinctively looked up, not caring about the pain all over her body caused by the movement. She saw that her playmate's eyes were closed, but fortunately there was a heartbeat proving that he was still alive.
"Eddie." She called softly, but the boy didn't move.
"Eddie." She spoke again, but the boy still showed no sign of waking up.
"Eddie?" Fei Yi became uncertain. Was he injured? Thinking of this, she frowned, her expression inevitably tinged with anxiety.
She propped herself up slightly, endured the pain, sniffed him, and didn't smell any blood.
She touched him again, wanting to confirm further.
I touched his entire body but couldn't feel any wounds.
She looked up with some confusion, and met the boy's nonchalant gaze.
The worry in the girl's eyes faded, and she complained calmly, "You scared me."
Eddie said graciously, "Sorry."
Knowing that she was checking if she had any injuries, he said, "I don't think she's seriously injured."
Hearing his words, Fei Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll come down."
She pushed herself up, and Eddie reached out his hands to support her, helping her to her feet.
On the other side, Nerys had already stood up, her nose still damp. Seeing Fei Yi pulling Eddie up not far away, she staggered a few steps forward to help.
Several people stood in the silver-blue light. Eddie's eyes swept up and down Fei Yi, and after confirming that she was okay again, he looked at Nerys.
Except for Fei Yi, who was relatively clean, his and Nairis's clothes were scratched several times.
He looked up, and it was pitch black. He couldn't tell how high up it was. Judging from how low he felt after falling, it definitely wasn't low, but...
Why were they only slightly injured?
As they exchanged glances, it was obvious that the two girls had thought of the same thing.
Nerys looked around. There were silver-blue lights appearing from nowhere on the ground, glowing plants whose names she couldn't tell, and...
Her sight suddenly stopped at something in front of her. She widened her eyes and asked hesitantly, "What is that...?"
Fei Yi and Eddie followed her gaze. Eddie's eyelids twitched and he subconsciously looked at Fei Yi.
The girl stared blankly at the scene before her.
Transparent stones, the same silver-blue as the ground, glowed brightly and formed a large circle. Faint lines seemed to be visible in the open space in the center. More importantly, there stood a humanoid monster with its body wrapped in chains.
The distance was not far, and they could even clearly see that the chains of different thicknesses were covered with thorns, hooks and blades, and each chain was covered with blood.
At this moment, they seemed to finally smell the stench of blood.
"Devil." Fei Yi murmured in a low voice, but it was loud enough for the others present to hear clearly.
"What?" Nerys said in disbelief, and she could hear her heart beating violently in her chest.
"Sizzle."
The sharp sound of chains rubbing against each other startled the three of them.
Eddie stared at the chain monster, cautiously pulled the two girls over, and led them slowly back away.
He whispered, "I don't see any other exits here. Let's go our separate ways later."
He cautiously glanced at Fei Yi who was looking down, and reminded her worriedly, "You promised me that you wouldn't touch these things again."
Nerys couldn't help but look at Fei Yi in surprise. The fear in her eyes didn't fade at all. Fei Yi looked up, her eyes never leaving the iron monster. "I won't lie to you."
"Sizzle."
The sound of the monster moving again instantly brought Eddie and Nerys's distracted hearts back to life.
Eddie led them back one step, two steps, three steps...
Fei Yi's eyes were calm. She lowered her eyes and looked at his trembling hand that was blocking her.
"Bang!" The iron monster's hammer slammed into the ground! The silver-blue transparent stone shattered into pieces in an instant, and the debris flew everywhere.
The circle is destroyed.
"Run!" Eddie shouted at the right moment.
The two girls turned their heads quickly, and the three of them ran quickly in different directions.
Behind him was the sound of iron chains breaking through the air.
──
The towering stone tower pierces directly into the moon. The clouds covering the moon are slowly blown away by the wind, and a touch of light green is faintly visible in it.
The moonlight shines through the small window of the Samson Tower, leaving a thin silvery cast on the floor.
The black-haired girl with a sweet face was sleeping on the bed, breathing steadily.
The wooden door not far away quietly opened a crack.
…
"Didn't you say you wouldn't save him?"
The mysterious voice was still asking.
As always, Vifiya did not answer.
The indifference of "her" in the dream was affecting her all the time.
She still couldn't really control herself in her dreams.
"She" gazed calmly at the only two lights in the darkness, a sword and a heart.
She gazed at "her", the sword and the heart.
The difference this time was that she clearly remembered reality, rather than just a vague "I" who only remembered dreaming.
"Who is x?" "she" asked.
Vifia didn't think the voice would answer, but she also couldn't deny that the question "she" asked was a real question that flashed through her mind for a moment.
Sure enough, the dream became quiet again.
"She" stared at the heart, without moving forward, and asked again: "Why not pierce it?"
Why didn't the sword pierce her heart, but instead kept asking her whether to save her or not?
It is still quiet.
Vifiya observed the pattern of the questions I asked.
It wasn't something she wanted to ask, but it was a question that suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Why... do you want to interfere..." After an unknown amount of time, the inexplicable voice sounded again.
How to control "her" to ask questions, Vifiya did not pay attention to the voice in the dream.
"Interfered with what?" "She" asked.
Vifiya watched as "she" and the voice in the dream asked each other questions, but no one got an answer.
Dream... She pondered these two words carefully.
Ways to influence dreams.
Between her and "her", which one is her true self-consciousness? If the self-consciousness is strong enough, can it affect her dreams?
or……
How can I remember the present? How can I remember the present?
She kept repeating it in her heart and kept giving herself hints.
How can I remember the present?
How can I remember the present?
"What do I need to do to remember now?" "Her" calm voice rang out in the empty darkness.
Vifiya calmly interrupted the suggestion, and the dream was silent.
Still unwilling to answer?
She looked at "her" with a scrutiny that she herself didn't even notice.
"Sa..."
The inexplicable sound became distant, stagnant, and ethereal.
Vifiya's mind moved.
"Luo...ha..."
…
In the moonlight on the floor, a shadow moved back and forth anxiously, and the light and shadow kept interweaving, creating a chaotic scene.
The little fat boy looked hesitant as he looked at the girl sleeping on the bed.
Today was her third time falling asleep since coming to Samson Tower. She usually slept for at least one or two days, and today was the first day.
He looked towards Nerys's empty bed.
It's almost time.
Eddie told him before leaving that if they hadn't returned by then, to wake up Xiao Hui.
But even if Xiao Hui is very smart, what can Xiao Hui do if they haven't come back yet after doing such a dangerous thing?
"What are you doing here?" the girl's voice suddenly rang out.
The little fat boy suddenly looked up at her, and the girl's dark eyes stared at him.
He opened his mouth, not expecting her to wake up so quickly today.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Weifeiya sat up and ran to their dormitory in the middle of the night. He...
She paused. Something was wrong!
She looked towards Nerys's bed; it was empty.
Her mind, which was still a little unclear after she woke up, came back to normal in an instant, and she immediately looked at the little fat boy.
The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need for him to hesitate now. He whispered, "She and Fei Yi are out."
Vifiya's eyelids twitched violently. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Did she go out on her own initiative?"
The fat boy nodded: "She invited them."
With just one sentence, Vifiya probably knew why, and it was probably related to Dale.
She then asked: "When did you leave? Where did you go?"
The little fat boy immediately answered, "When the bedtime bell rings, I go to the oak forest on the west side of the island."
Vifia was stunned. If she was still very sober now, if she remembered correctly, the last time she heard about the oak forest in the west was from the black grandmother.
About the devil.
She glanced out the window to estimate the time while taking a headscarf from the cabinet to tie up her long hair.
The only person she could think of who hadn't come back to call her was Eddie.
While her hands were still moving, she asked, "Did Nerys say why?"
The little fat boy immediately understood what she meant: "I asked her about it, and she quietly told me that all seriously ill children would be sent for drug trials."
Vifiya paused with her hand that was tying her hair. This was not a good thing.
She walked a few steps closer to the little fat boy and told him, "Stay in the tower and don't go anywhere."
Without waiting for the little fat boy to refute, she casually took out the gravel candy and stuffed it into his hand.
"Remember! If you feel we haven't returned after about two bells, you should go straight to Madam Maggie."
There are no bells at night on St. Fagus Island, and there is no specific time to judge. They can only rely on their own feelings.
She believed that the fat boy had been in Samson Tower long enough to have a rough prediction of the bell sounds, otherwise Eddie would not have asked him to come to her.
She grabbed the oil lamp on her chest and hurried to the oak forest on the west side of the island without disturbing anyone else.
