Perhaps it's because today's experiences were just too "rich".
When Gu Xinghe was finally able to return to his dormitory room to rest that night.
He felt he had finally gotten a chance to relax a bit.
It was probably because of the mental strain of the whole day that my body was too tired.
After lying down in bed, Gu Xinghe quickly fell into a deep sleep.
But for some reason, despite being extremely exhausted, he kept having all sorts of bizarre and fantastical dreams tonight—
They climbed the seemingly endless stairs again and again.
He was trying to catch up with the blurry and suspicious figure that appeared not far in front of him.
But just as he was about to touch the hem of that person's clothes, the steps beneath his feet collapsed with a crash.
Then, he fell into a space filled with fine and flexible spider silk, where he fought continuously with the centipede spider.
But as before, after he killed the giant centipede.
He then fell into a dark confinement room filled with pale arms.
A deathly pale arm, devoid of any color, gripped his ankle and pulled at his body, as if desperately trying to prevent him from leaving.
Then, for some unknown reason, he did not put up any resistance and was grabbed by arms and taken to a blood-red space.
This space seemed to be the same as the one he had seen in the library before, after encountering those strange words and images.
Then, the scenes of sacrifice that appeared in his mind were somewhat similar.
At this moment, looking around at the severed limbs and fragments and the space stained with large clumps of blood.
After being grabbed by those pale arms and placed on the ground.
At this moment, he was as if he were placed at the center of a diagram drawn with blood-red lines, to be used as a sacrifice in this ritual.
Unable to move, he watched as the surrounding blood converged towards him, getting closer and closer.
Just as the various bloodlines on the ground were about to converge—
“Huh—huh—huh—”
Gu Xinghe sat up in bed, taking deep breaths of the slightly chilly summer night air.
The dormitory room was already completely dark by then.
The room lights, which had been on while he was asleep, had been turned off at some point.
The other four people in the dormitory were now fast asleep.
In the dream that had unfolded so rapidly, Gu Xinghe roughly knew that he was dreaming.
But at this moment, the once clear dream content began to fade at an extremely rapid pace.
A moment later, Gu Xinghe's mind was left with only a general impression, or a few blurry images that were not very clear.
He simply stopped thinking about it and wiped away the fine beads of cold sweat that had seeped from his forehead.
At this moment, when he realized he was having this nightmare, the tentacles did not wake him up.
This seems to be an explanation that it was simply the result of his excessive mental strain and repeated use of his mental power.
It may also be because the residual pollution concentration is already very low, even below the minimum level that requires vigilance.
But in reality, this also seemed to be a reminder to him—
As he ventured into the bizarre and the unknown, the pollution they brought never truly left him.
It was late at night, and everyone else in the room was asleep.
But after having several nightmares related to today's experiences, he didn't want to go back to sleep right away.
After eating a piece of candy to calm his thoughts, Gu Xinghe went to the restroom.
Just as Iron Man once tinkered with his mechs in a cave, Gu Xinghe now builds a detector in the bathroom.
Soon, several hours passed.
In Gu Xinghe's hand appeared a detection pocket watch that was basically similar in appearance to Xiao Ruiming's pocket watch, but more exquisite.
This is different from the vibration perception of the Type I detector that he had previously built on his own, or the need to open a pocket watch to check the specific values.
The pocket watch he recently created.
While retaining the latter's ability to display specific pollution levels, it will also emit heat when danger and pollution are detected.
The higher the level of danger and the higher the concentration of pollution, the higher the temperature emitted will naturally be.
After putting away the other tools, Gu Xinghe did not put the newly crafted detection pocket watch into the mirror space.
Instead, he chose to carry it with him and put it in his clothes pocket.
If this happens again in a stairwell or library, perhaps we can take some precautions in advance.
By this time, after finishing the making of the detection pocket watch in his hand, it was already midnight.
Gu Xinghe pinched the corner of his eye and decided to lie down on the bed to rest again.
Despite experiencing a period of mental "relaxation" by working as a detector, the familiar dream still haunted him at this moment.
However, compared to the previous dreams, this one could be described as much more peaceful.
Gu Xinghe was still clearly aware that he was in a dream.
But unlike his previous first-person experience, he now seemed to be observing from a third-person perspective.
The scene in this dream looks roughly the same as the boys' dormitory he's in now.
But the slightly different decorations and layout made him realize that he seemed to be in the girls' dormitory next door.
Gu Xinghe never expected that his first time entering the girls' dormitory would be because of this dreamlike scene.
"Crack—Crack—Crack—"
The sound of women's leather shoes walking could be heard in the once empty corridor.
Gu Xinghe turned his head to look, but did not see anyone at the end of the dark road.
But just as he was about to step forward to take a look...
Gu Xinghe discovered that his movement range seemed to be limited to the small area in front of him.
So he could only stand quietly in place, observing his surroundings while waiting for the person who made the sound to appear.
The only dormitory door in sight was prominently marked with the number 305.
This was undoubtedly the girls' dormitory room where Kong Hejing and Li Wei, and later Zhang Ya and Zhao Wenli, lived.
At this moment, as the sound of footsteps grew closer, the owner of the leather shoes that made the sound finally appeared—
They were clearly dressed in uniforms, holding dolls in their hands, as were Carol and Rekaya.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe, somewhat surprised, stepped out from the corner where he had just been standing.
He deliberately stood in front of them, wanting to test his identity in the dream.
Even so, the two of them seemed to ignore him as if they couldn't see his existence.
So Gu Xinghe simply stood in their path.
However, he discovered that when Carol and Rekaya entered dormitory 305, they walked straight through his body.
At this moment, he was like a phantom that did not exist.
