Chapter 51 Broken Dream
The woman's figure appeared beside Li Muhan again.
"I can feel the joy and peace in your heart right now. You like this feeling, and I can make it even better."
Her hand was placed on Li Muhan's temples again.
The scene changed again, this time in a small but exquisite living room.
The table was filled with delicious food. Li Muhan was standing at the entrance wearing a suit and holding a briefcase in his hand.
"Husband, are you back?"
A woman poked her head out of the kitchen, and Li Muhan was stunned.
That was Gu Ruoxi... She was a little more mature than he had imagined, but also more beautiful, with a happy smile on her face.
"Thank you for your hard work, husband. I got off work early today and cooked a meal for you."
She pulled Li Muhan to sit at the dining table.
"Today is your birthday and also our wedding anniversary. You didn't forget, did you?"
Gu Ruoxi looked at Li Muhan with a mischievous smile, and found that he was still in a daze, so Gu Ruoxi had no choice but to call out to the room.
"Xiaoxue."
Soon, a little girl who was only four or five years old ran out of the room.
"Dad~ Happy birthday~"
The cute little girl handed the flowers to Li Muhan.
"What are you standing there for? Take this gift from your daughter."
Gu Ruoxi urged with a smile.
Li Muhan stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the flower.
The woman's figure appeared on the chair next to Li Muhan. She looked at Li Muhan with a smile and continued.
"...I can do even better. I can turn all your regrets and resentments into reality, for example..."
Just when the woman's hand was about to touch Li Muhan's solar plexus again, Li Muhan slowly held her hand.
"No...that's not enough."
The woman was a little surprised and looked at Li Muhan in confusion.
"I can let you experience a different life every day, all happy and joyful lives, not just memories, just like now. I can give you the life you once dreamed of and longed for."
Li Muhan slowly raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him with a bitter smile on his face.
"Yes, I almost forgot. Marrying Gu Ruoxi, starting a family, having a child, finding a decent job, and letting them live a good life has been my dream for so many years."
"Then... you can stay, you can stay here, I will make it all come true, I can even make you never age, and experience this kind of life forever..."
The woman said excitedly.
But Li Muhan just shook his head.
He let go of the woman's hand and stroked his "daughter's" lovely cheek.
"Dreams are just dreams after all, and the dream you showed me doesn't have the future I want."
"You can tell me, I can create it for you, whatever it is, I can..."
“Some futures can only be created through one’s own efforts.”
Li Muhan turned to look at the woman, tears slowly sliding down his face.
"It's true that the dream you gave me is so beautiful, but unfortunately, I still have a place to return to, and there are people waiting for me..."
The woman's eyes gradually dimmed and her expression became cold.
"Is that so... You are a human who cannot be trapped by dreams."
Then Li Muhan felt that the originally warm room began to cool down rapidly, and the beautiful flowers in his hands began to wither quickly.
When he looked up again, Gu Ruoxi's body gradually began to turn into a dried corpse.
Her dry mouth opened and closed as she spoke in a cold voice.
"You abandoned us."
"Dad, you killed us."
The girl had also turned into a monster with no eyeballs, only black eye sockets.
The next moment, darkness swallowed everything.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the orphanage in his memories, the dark and smelly corridor. This was the orphanage in his real memories.
Bang--
Bang--
Suddenly, terrible footsteps were heard.
At the same time, a hoarse and distorted voice roared in the darkness of the corridor.
“Li Muhan!!!”
Teacher Zhang was Li Muhan’s childhood nightmare. In his heart, perhaps Teacher Zhang was the real devil.
Soon the huge and twisted figure appeared in front of Li Muhan.
It was like a monster stitched together from various corpses, bloated and disgusting.
It held an axe in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and walked towards Li Muhan with heavy steps.
It kept calling Li Muhan's name, and every time it called, disgusting mucus would spray out of its mouth.
"So this is how you've always been in my mind, Teacher Zhang."
Li Muhan said expressionlessly.
Then, the woman appeared beside Li Muhan.
"...I can make this all go away, you don't have to go through these nightmares, I can create something better for you..."
"I'm sorry, but there are some pains in this world that you have to go through."
As he faced the monster that was getting closer and closer, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"I remember a positive person once said that the best way to eliminate fear is to face it."
The monster came in front of Li Muhan and raised the kitchen knife high.
"It's not too late... Let me erase your nightmare... Please."
The woman begged Li Muhan almost in tears.
"The realm unfolds, and thousands of thunders lead to killing."
The flash of lightning tore through the dream in an instant, and also blasted the monster in front of him away.
The surrounding scenery began to become distorted, thunderclouds began to gather above Li Muhan's head, and lightning bolts struck the ground one after another, making the space even more unstable.
"Why...why can't I stay here...I can obviously make you happy, make you happy..."
The woman's tears kept falling. She looked at Li Muhan's back in confusion, but Li Muhan ignored her and just looked at the monster that got up again.
At the same time, Gu Ruoxi's dried corpse and the little girl also crawled out, screaming miserably and crawling towards Li Muhan.
"You killed us!! It was you!!"
"Dad!! Dad, don't go!!!"
Li Muhan untied the long backpack he was carrying and threw it on the ground. He was now holding the scabbard of the black Tang sword in his hand.
The moment his hand grasped the hilt of the knife.
Countless lightning began to gather, and as the blade was pulled out bit by bit, the lightning also completely attached to and wrapped around the blade.
"...surrounded by thousands of thunders."
Li Muhan's pupils began to glow with golden light, and the necklace pendant on his chest turned into a mask that covered half of his face.
Swish——
When the Fujiang Zhenmo was completely pulled out, a huge thunder sounded above his head.
“Some dreams should be awakened.”
"No, please... No, don't go..."
The woman was already kneeling on the ground, looking at Li Muhan's back and crying.
Li Muhan held the Fu Jiang Zhen Mo tightly, and when the three monsters ran in front of him, Huo Tian's final knife appeared in his eyes.
"All of them will be killed."
The blade wrapped in lightning in his hand slashed out suddenly.
Where the lightning flashed, everything was silent, and the bodies of the three monsters were instantly blown into pieces.
[Three Nightmare clones have been killed and the Nightmare's soul fragments have been obtained. The current level of King Baal's soul restoration is 15%. New enhanced power has been obtained.
Even in normal state, your speed, strength, perception, and mental strength will increase tenfold. 】
Li Muhan slowly turned around and looked at the woman who was still crying.
The woman's voice at this moment was filled with more despair, pain, and unwillingness.
She looked up and looked at Li Muhan.
"Why...why don't you want to live in a dream!"
Li Muhan smiled bitterly. Although he was wearing a mask and the woman couldn't see his smile, he still slowly sheathed his knife, squatted down, looked at the woman and said.
“Because people always have to look forward.”
