"What dream?"
Xu An asked hurriedly.
At the same time, she very considerately refilled the old man's cigarette.
The old man was also a heavy smoker; smoking was like breathing oxygen for him.
After a moment of contemplation, the old man said:
“Every night when I fall asleep, I dream that this place is like it was before the accident.”
"There are a lot of people, and visitors are swiping their ID cards to enter."
"So realistic!"
Xu An and the others exchanged glances.
"It must be an illusion. The thing inside is too powerful; even he who is outside is affected by it."
"That thing's abilities probably extend far beyond what's confined to the museum."
Blackfish pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said.
Xu An nodded silently. Regardless of what was inside, it was indeed as Black Fish had said: that thing's abilities were getting stronger!
The coverage area has now expanded beyond the museum, and beyond that...
It's hard to imagine how far that thing would go if left unchecked.
"Could it be some kind of demonic beast that has the ability to create dreams or illusions?"
Anu frowned.
Some demonic beasts can induce hallucinations in people through various means.
"You'll find out once you're inside."
"Blackfish said in a deep voice."
"Old man, have any night patrolmen been here recently?"
Suddenly, Zhang Lingxuan asked a question.
Xu An looked up at Zhang Lingxuan.
He knew that Zhang Lingxuan's question seemed like a normal inquiry.
But in reality, this was a test of the old man.
They all knew that a group of night patrolmen from Hsinchu City had come here not long ago.
If the old man denies it, then it means there must be something wrong with him.
If there's a problem, then everything this old man just said is unbelievable.
"Huh? The night watchman?"
The old man was clearly taken aback.
Then, he asked in confusion:
"Aren't they from the Ninth Special Forces of the Space Security Department?"
"You two know each other?"
"Let me tell you, they're incredibly arrogant. They're all so cocky and don't take this old man like me seriously at all."
"We couldn't stop them; they just rushed in."
"And what happened? What could the Space Security Department do? They still failed, and it's been so many days, and they still haven't come out."
Upon hearing the name 'Cosmic Security Department', Xu An and his companions almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
He thought to himself, "Those guys in Hsinchu City are really good at bragging."
However, it seems that the old man was definitely intimidated at the time.
"How so?"
Xu An looked at everyone and asked a question.
"I think we should go in during the day tomorrow."
"Nighttime is too risky, especially if that thing's abilities are related to dreams."
"Nighttime is its domain."
Xu An glanced at the already darkening sky and continued.
After a moment's thought, the others nodded in agreement.
"Agreed, then we'll stay here tonight and start entering tomorrow."
"Perfect timing, let's discuss the action plan again tonight."
Blackfish nodded in agreement.
Outside the museum, there are several rooms originally intended for staff to rest and several unused security booths.
The group then settled down for the time being.
To ensure safety, Xu An arranged for people to keep watch at night, in pairs, rotating every two hours.
First, Black Fish and Master Li took turns keeping watch.
Exhausted from the long journey, Xu An lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time has passed...
"Wake up... Xu An, we've arrived at our stop, wake up!"
A familiar voice rang out.
Xu An groggily opened his eyes, and the next second...
Xu An suddenly woke up!
He was horrified to discover that he wasn't sleeping in a bed, but... on a bus!
Outside the car, the noise was deafening.
The sunlight was dazzling; it was a bright, sunny day.
Anu was smiling at him.
"Xu An, what did you do last night?"
"It's only a two-hour journey from school to here, and you're already sleeping like this so early in the morning."
Anu laughed and scolded.
In an instant, Xu An felt a chill run down his spine!
"A dream?"
"hehe……"
"Just as the old security guard said, once you fall asleep, you will fall into strange dreams."
"Since it's a dream... then... wake up!"
Xu An closed his eyes and silently shouted to himself.
but!
When Xu An opened his eyes again, he found that everything was as usual.
"Students, today we are going to visit..."
Anxi Museum!
"The Anxi Museum houses many precious historical artifacts. Once inside, students must not make loud noises or use flash photography..."
Anu smiled and held the microphone, explaining the precautions to everyone.
"Ha, this dream really felt real!"
Xu An sneered inwardly.
However, a mere dream poses no threat to him.
He suddenly pinched his thigh hard, and a sharp pain shot through him.
but……
Everything around me remained unchanged.
"Xu An!"
"Get off the bus!"
The driver, Lao Yao, shouted.
Xu An then realized that everyone had already gotten off the bus.
"Old Yao, what's going on?"
"Are we dreaming?!"
Xu An hurriedly pulled Lao Yao back and said in a deep voice.
Old Yao took the cigarette he had just put in his mouth off again and looked at Xu An with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, student?"
