At this moment, Gu Xinghe opened his eyes again and looked at the space between his fingers.
The original powder and gravel had disappeared, leaving only the broken white spider silk that had adhered to his right hand as he punched out.
Looking down, Gu Xinghe glanced at his predicament.
He was lying flat on his back, with layers of spider silk covering his body.
From the outside, he appears as a giant white cocoon wrapped up in a protective shell.
It now seems that his recent experience was just a dream woven by a centipede.
Notice this.
It was because when he lit the match, he discovered that the arrangement of the matches in the box was different from what he had seen before.
Compared to the matches in the box, the sword blade and alcohol are items whose internal structures don't require too much consideration.
So he didn't notice anything different.
Now that Gu Xinghe has regained consciousness, he recalls the events.
The items he was holding earlier did not actually seem to have been taken from the mirror space.
It's more like his understanding was directly manifested in his dream.
Looking back now, it's clear that if anyone else had entered this dream woven by the centipede spider, it would have been a different story.
Their equipment was probably not as abundant as his.
It is also difficult to observe the differences in the objects constructed within and the spaces in which they are situated.
And then there was that giant centipede spider.
Even if others manage to defeat him with difficulty, they will then face the same situation as Gu Xinghe just now.
Faced with the endless stream of tiny spiders emerging from the giant spider's body, it ultimately met its end by being "overwhelmed" by them.
If things continue like this, what will happen if a person is killed in a dream?
Did the sleeper die directly from this point?
Or will we fall into a terrifying cycle of nightmares again and again?
At this moment, Gu Xinghe realized—
When a centipede weaves its web, it is not only creating a trap, but also weaving and arranging the fate of its prey.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe flicked his wrist and took out the same dagger from the mirror space again.
Then it tore through the layers of fine white spider silk covering his body.
This time, with careful perception, he could sense the difference between the extraction process and the one previously manifested in the dream.
After standing up from the giant white cocoon, Gu Xinghe looked at the black tentacles that were swaying and moving around him.
As soon as he woke up, he felt the tentacles shaking and patting his body.
The tentacles that can still move freely can be interpreted as a small part of Gu Xinghe's subconscious that has not been hypnotized and put into sleep.
However, because he was "sleeping too soundly," the tentacles were unable to awaken his main consciousness.
In fact, Gu Xinghe also realized that the tentacles had repeatedly helped him when he encountered strange and polluted situations.
This naturally refers to the tentacles actually performing the physical act of rolling him up and then pulling him.
It also refers to the various forms of help he received.
From this perspective, considering both its appearance and its capabilities...
The tentacles also appear to be a special form of pollution that appears in his body and coexists with him.
But at the same time, it can be freely controlled by his consciousness and thinking.
Moreover, if the tentacles hadn't torn apart a lot of the tough white spider silk before he regained consciousness...
Gu Xinghe may have already been completely enveloped by it.
The combination of these two factors confirmed that Gu Xinghe had indeed escaped the dream.
not to mention--
[Brother Gu, you're amazing! You actually broke free of the spider webs and woke up!]
Is this now considered one of the seven mysteries of the campus? It felt a bit sudden when it was triggered!
Did Brother Gu inhale something like a hypnotic gas as soon as he came in, and then fall asleep?
It's a bit like immersing you in a dream, making it hard to distinguish between dream and reality.
The voice from the live stream, which he had subconsciously ignored due to the hypnosis in his dream, rang in his ears again.
This finally gave Gu Xinghe a real sense of being grounded in reality.
Walking on the ground, the space in front of me is not much different from that in my dream.
There were just dozens of giant white cocoons on the ground.
Unlike the semi-finished product where Gu Xinghe had just been, which was still quite far from being completely enveloped.
What you see before you are all giant cocoons, completely wrapped up, like exquisite works of art.
Using the short blade in his hand, Gu Xinghe deftly cut open the cocoon made of layers of spider silk.
Then, what was inside was revealed...
human form.
Perhaps it can only be described as humanoid rather than a living being.
It looked just like the centipede that appeared in my dream before, after countless small spiders crawled out.
The humanoid figure before them was nothing but a withered skin, like an empty shell devoid of any substance.
His body was emaciated, and his face was ashen.
Although his eyes were closed, the expression on his face still revealed that he was in a state of extreme fear even in his sleep.
At this moment, his emaciated body resembled the fear continuously generated by the centipede as it was being devoured.
In addition, Gu Xinghe also saw that there were pipes inside the giant cocoon that were directly inserted into the humanoid body.
Based on his observation, it should be a conduit for supplying nutrients to the body in order to maintain the minimum level of its life.
