Even the usually calm Lu Cheng noticed something was wrong: "What's going on? Did everyone have a sweet dream? This feels a bit strange. I rarely dream normally. I don't know what happened last night. I kept dreaming."
Zhang Yan interrupted: "What do you mean everyone is having a sweet dream? That's not the case for me!"
Lu Cheng said nonchalantly, "I actually forgot about you."
Zhang Yan: “…”
"We'll delve into the reason for the dream later," Meng Qingyin said. "I'll go in and see what's going on with Chen Leying first."
After saying that, she signaled the three men present to step aside. After their figures disappeared in the thick fog, Meng Qingyin unzipped the tent.
In the tent, Chen Leying was still sleeping. Her face was rosy, her breathing was even, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that she was fine, Meng Qingyin felt relieved.
She reached out and pushed Chen Leying's arm, "Chen Leying, wake up."
Chen Leying was still sleeping and did not respond at all.
Meng Qingyin called out a few more times, but Chen Leying still didn't respond.
Meng Qingyin's heart gradually sank.
Qin Jiu asked outside with concern: "Why are you sleeping so soundly that I can't wake you up even if I call you? Is it because the temperature was too low last night that you have a fever?"
Meng Qingyin just checked and Chen Leying's temperature is normal and she doesn't have a fever.
She stood up and left the tent, lowering her voice to Qin Jiu and saying, "I suspect Chen Leying is in a beautiful dream and doesn't want to wake up."
Qin Jiu was shocked. "Immersed in a beautiful dream and unwilling to wake up? Is there such a thing?"
Meng Qingyin immediately said, "Shh, keep your voice down, don't make any noise."
Qin Jiu quickly reacted, "Who are you guarding against?"
Meng Qingyin uttered two words in a low voice: "Fei Qiu."
Qin Jiu hurriedly asked, "What happened to Fei Qiu? Was he possessed by someone?"
Meng Qingyin: "Originally, I didn't want to alert the enemy, but I suspect that this guy pretending to be Fei Qiu has something to do with our collective dream. So I have no choice but to interrogate him first."
As she spoke, she sent a message to Zhang Yan, asking him and Lu Cheng to "escort" Fei Qiu over.
Zhang Yan didn't understand what he meant, but he did as he was told.
After a while, he and Lu Cheng held Fei Qiu's arms on the left and right and brought him back.
Fei Qiu looked a little strange: "What are you doing?"
Meng Qingyin didn't bother to play along and asked directly, "You're not Fei Qiu, who are you? And this thick fog, is it all related to you?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Fei Qiu's eyes, "How did you know?"
Meng Qingyin: "Although you disguised yourself well, you walked freely in the fog and your vision was completely unobstructed. This is where you gave yourself away."
From the beginning, she felt that something was wrong with Fei Qiu.
When she was in front of Fei Qiu's tent, the fog was so thick that she had to grope her way forward to find people, but Fei Qiu actually walked over to her accurately. Afraid that she would think too much, she deliberately asked Fei Qiu to watch the fire, and Fei Qiu still walked to the campfire very accurately.
It was as if the thick fog had no effect on him at all.
This is very strange no matter how you look at it.
Fei Qiu suddenly burst into laughter. "You guys are really interesting. You actually managed to wake up from my 'mirage'."
"Where is the real Fei Qiu?" Meng Qingyin asked, "And how do we break the mirage?"
Sure enough, all this was caused by the thing in front of me.
Fei Qiu shook his head, his tone sounding regretful. "My mirage cannot be broken. Even if I die, it will still exist. Unless the person in the mirage breaks free from the dream and wakes up. But since she is already immersed in the beautiful dream I wove for her, she naturally doesn't want to wake up. In the end, she will only turn into nutrients to nourish the plants in this mountain."
The "she" he was referring to was Chen Leying.
After he finished speaking, the fog in the mountains became even thicker, and even people facing each other could not see each other's faces clearly.
The next moment, Zhang Yan felt his hand loosen, and the thing disappeared from his hand.
"Hahahaha, you will eventually become the nourishment of this mountain."
Then, the fog gradually dissipated.
The mottled sunlight penetrated the leaves and fell on the faces of several people, illuminating the solemnity on their faces.
"Zhang Yan, Lu Cheng, you two take Zizi and Ye Taohua and the others to go find Fei Qiu," Meng Qingyin said in a deep voice, "Qin Jiu and I will stay here to watch over Chen Leying and try to see if we can wake her up."
The two immediately went to find Fei Qiu under the guidance of Zizi. Qin Jiu then asked, "What exactly was that thing just now? Is the mirage it mentioned really that scary?"
Who would have thought that beautiful dream would actually be a death warrant?
Meng Qingyin: "If I'm not mistaken, we can't leave the mountain now."
I'm afraid this is what the thing just left behind.
Although they escaped this mirage, who can guarantee that they will not sleep all the time?
Once they fall asleep, that guy will have the opportunity to drag them into the mirage, and they will be completely defenseless in their dreams.
Qin Jiu was shocked, "Then we must quickly stop more players from entering the mountain!"
After saying that, she posted a message in the chat area, explaining the situation in the mountains and warning everyone not to go into the mountains again.
Fortunately, the message could still be sent, and Qin Jiu successfully sent it out.
The two tried their best to wake Chen Leying up, but to no avail.
It seems that it is just as that thing said, Chen Leying can only wake up by herself?
But Chen Leying was already immersed in her dream and was unaware of any external stimuli, so how could she wake up?
If you can't wake up, you can only be used as food.
Meng Qingyin squatted there in frustration, helpless. She hated her own incompetence.
Qin Jiu felt bad too. They had been through so many ups and downs together, and she couldn't bear to watch Chen Leying die in her dream.
But she had no choice.
Just now when the two of them tried to wake up Chen Leying, even the pain couldn't wake her up.
Like a vegetative person, he couldn't hear their calls and couldn't feel the pain.
Just then, messy footsteps were heard outside.
Then, Zhang Yan shouted with full energy: "We found Fei Qiu, and we also found a person."
Picked up a... person?
Meng Qingyin and Qin Jiu walked out of the tent.
Zhang Yan and Lu Cheng were carrying a stretcher, on which lay a soaked man. His messy hair was stuck to his face, covering his eyebrows and eyes. There was a bloody hole on his forehead, but it was no longer bleeding.
Qin Jiu asked: "Who is this?"
Lu Cheng: "Zheng Yi."
Zheng Yi?
How come he is here and in such a state?
Fei Qiu: "When I met him, he was floating in the stream. He had lost too much blood and passed out. I just gave him a simple treatment and he is out of danger."
"What about you?" Meng Qingyin looked at him and asked, "What's going on with you?"
