Chapter 114 An Unexpected Dream of Ouroboros
Shao Yanzhe wanted to dodge, but he was still human, and he could succeed when the woman in white was off guard.
Now that the woman in white was on guard against him, she unleashed a torrent of yin energy, causing him to momentarily freeze and preventing him from dodging in time.
On the other side, Zhou Jiming, who was able to stop them, had to reveal himself when his time came, and could only stare wide-eyed as he unwillingly disappeared into thin air.
The others simply didn't have enough energy to break through the barrier between them and the dream world. They ran over to help Shao Yanzhe and stop the woman in white, but they couldn't touch anything in the dream world at all.
Shao Yanzhe watched helplessly as the white-clad woman with a ferocious expression rapidly approached. He seemed to smell the strong stench of blood on her body and see the sharp black nails on her fingers. Everything around him unfolded before his eyes as if in slow motion.
He felt he probably really had no way to escape.
He proved with his life that unscientific things really exist in this world, but unfortunately no one else knew about them, so he really died in vain.
Since this woman in white was not his illusion, but a real, unscientific entity...
What about the men dressed in ancient clothing that he saw?
Are they also unscientific beings that survived from ancient times?
He could sense that the men dressed in ancient costumes meant him no harm; on the contrary, they seemed to want to remind him of something.
Were they trying to warn him that ghosts and monsters exist in this world, and to warn him to be careful?
It must be him, otherwise why would that ancient man appear to help him attack the woman in white?
His mind was in turmoil. Just as he was waiting to die, a black figure suddenly appeared and knocked the white-clad woman in front of him away.
Shao Yanzhe blinked slowly, finally realizing what was happening. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure stepping on the woman in white and tearing at her with force, making a somewhat ferocious sound.
It is Xuan Yao!
The woman in white was caught off guard at the beginning. The two were not much different in strength, and soon they were fighting each other.
The woman in white was very professional. Her goal was Shao Yanzhe, and she never gave up on her initial goal, even though she was interrupted many times.
After kicking Xuan Yao away, this stubborn fellow suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Shao Yanzhe. His long hair, flying behind him, was like a series of venomous snakes, swiftly stabbing towards Shao Yanzhe's chest.
The woman in white curled her lips into a smile. As long as she was quick enough, no one could stop her!
"Meow!"
Xuan Yao was furious upon seeing this, and the speed at which the power within his body circulated increased several times, rising several levels, and finally arriving at the last moment.
His body suddenly swelled up, blocking Shao Yanzhe and the woman in white, and deflecting the fatal attack.
"Meow!"
The white-clad woman's long hair pierced Xuan Yao's body, causing him to cry out in pain. His solid body became transparent for a moment.
But he disregarded everything and risked disappearing from the dream. He bit down on the white-clad woman's head, snapping her neck with a snap and swallowing her head. He didn't waste the rest of her body either, swallowing it in a few bites as well.
The crisis was thus completely resolved.
Xuan Yao then regained his strength, lying exhausted on the ground, licking his wounds, looking rather miserable.
After Shao Yanzhe regained his mobility, he knelt down beside him to check on his condition.
He could see many small wounds on Xuan Yao's right side, from which blood was flowing continuously, and it seemed that the bleeding would be difficult to stop for a while.
He picked up Xuan Yao, then sat back in the car and quickly drove to the vet for treatment.
Shao Yanzhe sat outside the operating room, his eyes somewhat vacant.
Why is this world so strange?
Not only are there unscientific things, but the cat he picked up also saved him.
Wasn't it said that animals couldn't become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
This is wrong!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Shao Yanzhe's head began to throb. He involuntarily covered his head because of the pain, and his vision blurred.
The space he was in, and indeed the entire world, blurred for a moment. The buildings suddenly turned into mosaics of varying sizes, and the pedestrians walking on the road remained frozen in place.
The ouroboros, which was in the hospital, suddenly looked up in the direction of Shao Yanzhe, its eyes narrowing slightly.
"I didn't expect this human to show signs of waking up, but now is not the time."
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.
"Smack!"
Shao Yanzhe snapped out of his daze, looked down at the ground, and saw that the plastic bag he had used to hold the food had fallen to the ground.
The plastic bag was open, revealing the food inside, which was almost cold, and a familiar and delicious aroma filled the air around him.
As he smelled the familiar aroma of food, the pain in his head disappeared without him even realizing it. He reached out and picked up the plastic bag from the ground, took out the food from it, and took a bite.
This is indeed the texture of the food; it's not artificial.
At this moment, the doubts that had arisen in his mind temporarily subsided.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiming and the others who had been standing around couldn't help but show their disappointment.
"What a pity! Brother Shao was just about to wake up, but he was interrupted by this little accident!" Zhou Jiming said with great regret, tightening his grip on the folding fan and using it as a plastic bag to vent his anger.
Wen Yanqing, standing to the side, shook her head slightly; she didn't believe this was an accident.
However, she wasn't disappointed. Judging from Shao Yanzhe's performance just now, his dream world wasn't as solid as she had imagined.
Judging from the near collapse of the dream world just now, it's likely that, unbeknownst to her, Shao Yanzhe has begun to have doubts about the authenticity of this dream world he's in.
Once it happens, there will be a second and a third, until this dream world completely collapses, at which point Shao Yanzhe will be able to wake up from the dream.
The Ouroboros understood this principle as well. He originally planned to slowly invade this dream world, thereby expanding the dream world under his control and increasing his strength.
It seems that we can't take it slow now.
He looked down at his fingers, and his vision instantly changed. Thin purple lines extended from his fingers, with the other end pointing upwards, their destination unknown.
His pupils suddenly contracted, changing from the original black human pupils to the vertical pupils of a beast, and the color also turned dark purple.
He stretched out his other hand, hooked his fingertips onto one of the lines, and gently pinched the line with his nail, breaking the thin purple thread.
Immediately, the thin lines extending upwards suddenly fell down and quickly accumulated in the palm of the ouroboros until they formed a small mound. At the other end, a small purple bead resembling an eyeball appeared.
The ouroboros glanced at the small purple mountain in its hand, then looked up, its purple pupils fixed on a certain direction.
He reached out and grabbed the small purple mountain in his hand. With a forceful pull, the fine threads inside were crushed. He held the purple, smoky powder in one hand and took out a small bottle of purple pills from the drawer with the other. He poured all the purple powder in his hand into the small bottle.
He put the lid on, shook it vigorously a few times, and through the translucent glass bottle, he could see that all the light purple pills had turned dark purple.
The pill's dark purple color was exactly the same as the color of his pupils.
The ouroboros was very pleased with the color.
On the other side, Shao Yanzhe took meticulous care of Xuan Yao, and only after Xuan Yao was able to be discharged from the hospital did he take him back to the community.
"Can you speak?" he asked cautiously, staring at Xuan Yao.
"Meow?" Xuan Yao tilted his head and looked at him in confusion.
Shao Yanzhe scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Judging from your previous appearance, are you a cat demon? If you are a cat demon, you should be able to speak, right?"
"Meow!" Xuan Yao wanted to answer, but unfortunately he couldn't speak.
Shao Yanzhe was somewhat disappointed that Xuan Yao did not speak, but he quickly came to terms with it.
He gently stroked Xuan Yao: "Alright, I was overthinking it. You probably just have some special powers. After all, animals can't become spirits after the founding of the country, and you shouldn't be able to violate that rule. But even if you can't speak, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be dead."
Xuan Yao glanced at him with his head slightly raised. You know that's enough. When you wake up, just treat me to ten meals of dried fish.
Just then, Shao Yanzhe suddenly realized something. He looked up sharply and met a somewhat familiar face.
He had seen this person before, but he thought it was a hallucination.
At this moment, he was unsure whether the figure before him was a hallucination or something real.
Thinking of this, Shao Yanzhe took a deep breath. This time, he did not ignore the other party as he had done before, but looked at the other party and waited for the other party's next move.
After seeing Shao Yanzhe's actions, Wen Yanqing smiled slightly, then said only one sentence to him. After making sure he heard clearly, she did not linger and disappeared into thin air.
Shao Yanzhe frowned slightly, pondering the words the man had just spoken. He was unsure whether the man was trying to sow discord between him and the doctor, thereby making him doubt the doctor and thus stop treatment, ultimately making his hallucinations incurable.
Just as he was thinking about these things, his phone rang.
He glanced at his phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.
After the call connected, he realized that the person on the other end was his attending physician after he heard what they were saying.
"Doctor, is there something you need from me?" he asked.
The doctor across from me said in a calm tone, "The hospital received a batch of new drugs today, which are very effective in treating your condition. If you have some free time today, why don't you come over and get some medicine to take home and see how effective it is?"
Shao Yanzhe kept his eyes fixed on the spot where the person had just disappeared, thinking about what he had said. Without much hesitation, he agreed.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
He hung up the phone, staring at the screen, his mind a jumble of thoughts. When he came to his senses, he glanced at his phone instinctively, and his pupils constricted.
