Chapter 53 It’s Time to Go
The realm that was originally filled with thunder fell into silence at this moment, but it was only the calm before the storm.
Then, countless thunders seemed to be summoned by some kind of power. They gathered into sharp swords, flashing dazzling golden light and shuttling between thunderclouds.
When the giant snake, sweeping with darkness and chaos, was about to engulf Li Muhan, all the sharp swords seemed to have found their targets, and they began to point faintly at the dark wave rushing towards Li Muhan.
"I will devour your pain!! I will devour your despair!! I will devour your life!! I will make you live in a beautiful dream forever!!"
"Why don't you understand..."
Li Muhan sighed slightly.
"Everything!! Will be lost in dreams!! In dreams!! You will become a part of me!! I will care for you and love you!! I will give you everything you want!!"
Finally, the darkness came in front of Li Muhan. The giant snake opened its huge mouth, and there seemed to be a black hole hidden in its mouth, containing an endless dark abyss.
But Li Muhan saw the beautiful dream that Nightmare had woven for him in the deepest part of the abyss.
In his dreams, he can make up for all his regrets, all his losses, and even find his parents and truly live a happy life.
But so what.
If all this was just a dream...
"Then it's time to wake up from this dream!"
Fu Jiang Zhenmo struck out again, thunder resounded through the sky, and all the swords that shuttled through the darkness stabbed towards the giant snake.
"Everything, all killed!"
boom--
Tens of thousands of Thunder Ripper snakes dispelled the endless darkness.
Then one dream bubble after another dissipated, and the disappearance of each bubble meant the departure of a soul.
“No…don’t…”
When the giant snake's body was torn apart, the woman inside was revealed.
She cried and screamed, trying to grab the broken bubbles.
"No, no, no, please, please, don't go... don't go..."
Then Li Muhan saw soul after soul walking out of the darkness. Although the woman tried her best to catch them, the souls seemed to have figured everything out.
After waking up from the dream, everyone had a trace of loneliness on their face, representing their nostalgia for the broken dream and their desire to break away from the worldly affairs of this world.
"Thank you......"
"But we have to walk the rest of the way on our own."
"Thank you, sister."
"Thanks."
They smiled and said goodbye to the girl, and then disappeared one by one. The woman knelt on the ground, missed one, and crawled to another.
Finally she finally grasped the hand of a soul tightly.
"Don't go, please, don't leave... I can do better..."
Tears streamed down his face.
But the soul did not look at him, but looked at Li Muhan with a proud look.
"This kid is very strong, right?"
The soul grinned, revealing a row of yellow teeth that had been smoked for a long time.
As for Li Muhan, he was stunned after seeing the soul.
He wanted to rush over and say a lot of words to the soul, but just as he took a step, the soul slowly raised its hand.
"Boy, you are qualified now."
After saying this, the soul began to slowly dissipate.
“Don’t…don’t…”
The woman was completely desperate. In the last moment before her soul disappeared, the man looked at Li Muhan and whispered something.
"That knife move just now was very cool."
The dust of the soul was not finally caught by the woman, all the darkness dissipated, and all the bubbles shattered.
All the souls also went to where they were supposed to go.
Li Muhan raised his head blankly, looking at the light spot after the soul dissipated, his eyes changed from sadness to determination.
"...Thank you, Captain."
When everything calmed down, Li Muhan supported his tired body, sheathed his knife, and walked unsteadily to the woman and squatted down.
"...Whether human or alien, no one can live in a dream. What you call beauty is nothing but a fragile bubble, ultimately just a dream."
"......sorry."
The woman's clothes were now tattered and her face was very pale. She slowly lowered her head, and her messy hair covered her eyes.
"I just...want to give everyone a happy ending..."
"This is their end."
"...I'm sorry, but maybe I'm the one who's been plagued by nightmares."
As he spoke, Li Muhan discovered that the ground where the woman was sitting was gradually turning dark like a swamp.
"I was born in darkness, grew up in nightmares, and fed on pain, but I don't want to bring pain to anyone... Even after death, these people are still haunted by nightmares and confused by their obsessions in life, so I..."
Darkness slowly began to pull at the woman's body. She slowly raised her head, her tear-red eyes looking at Li Muhan with a hint of guilt.
"I'm the one who should go back to the nightmare. I'm sorry..."
Li Muhan watched quietly as the woman was swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit.
"Thank you also... for not letting me make a big mistake."
"What will happen to you?"
Li Muhan asked.
"Return to nightmares, return to pain... This is the original purpose of my birth, and this is everything I should endure."
A nightmare that feeds on human nightmares and pain, but wants to bring a sweet dream to humans.
From this perspective, she has violated the nightmare's survival rules.
What awaits her now is backlash. She will experience endless pain for hundreds or thousands of years, until she is tortured to pieces by the pain, and all this may finally end.
The darkness had swallowed up half of the woman's body, and she raised her head with difficulty to look at Li Muhan.
"Your eyes... are so beautiful. Thank you so much for letting me see something so beautiful at last."
Then Nightmare slowly closed her eyes, waiting for darkness and chaos to drag her body into the endless abyss.
Just as the darkness was about to climb up the woman's neck, a huge force suddenly wrapped around the woman's body that had been swallowed by the darkness.
"Huh?"
The woman opened her eyes in confusion, and the next moment, her body was suddenly pulled out of the darkness.
"I said you can go now?"
Li Mu looked at the woman coldly. The thick devil's tail was now binding the woman's waist and dragging her in mid-air.
"......Why?"
The woman was very confused. She didn't understand why the demon wanted to save her.
"What you did previously violated the relevant regulations of the Special Management Bureau. Since you made a mistake, you must be punished, and this punishment is not determined by you."
Li Muhan grabbed the woman's tattered collar and asked while staring into her eyes.
"No matter what difficulties you encounter, people should live strong, and the same goes for you. If you make a mistake, accept the punishment. Don't try to hide in the dark, you crybaby."
"...crying...crybaby?"
"Isn't it? You've cried in front of us so many times, crying, crying, crying, is that all you know how to do?!"
Being stared at so fiercely by Li Muhan, Nightmare's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes again.
"I'm sorry... woo."
"Ahhh, don't cry! Don't cry!!"
"Wow... I'm sorry, but I just love to cry, I can't help it..."
......
At the same time, the situation outside the tower also changed.
Just as the incense stick burned out and Huang Zizai was about to let Chi Yuan strangle all the souls, things took a turn.
One soul after another began to turn into points of light and dissipated into the night sky.
"...Master? What's going on?"
Yue Linglong turned to look at Huang Zizai in confusion.
Huang Zizai, the monk and Sasha breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Taoist Huang smiled for the first time.
"...Hehe, this kid really did it."
