“I regard you as a junior, yet you harbor such filthy ambitions towards me…”
As Senior Long spoke, he slowly withdrew his hand.
"I won't kill you. This is just to teach you a lesson, and I don't want to see you again."
Don't do that.
Senior... Long Xun, please don't do this.
It's better to die by your hand than to never see you again.
If I really can't see you again, just kill me now, okay?
I beg for your mercy.
"roll!"
Xia Yize felt a chill run through his body as he watched helplessly as Senior Long disappeared before his eyes.
His world... collapsed.
——Dream Segmentation——
At Xie Yi's residence in Jing Shui Lake, in Xia Yize's room, Shao Gong, Yue Wuyi, Wenren Yu, Xie Yi, and Long Xun were all present, each looking at Shao Gong with worry as he checked on Xia Yize, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
"Shao Gong, how is Yize? He's been asleep for two days now, why hasn't he woken up yet?" Yue Wuyi asked anxiously.
Shao Gong straightened up, shook his head slightly, and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Young Master Xia was invaded by a nightmare in his sleep and is now trapped in the dream and unable to get out."
"Nightmare?" Wenren Yu asked doubtfully, "But a minor demon like Nightmare, even if it invades your dreams, usually wouldn't keep you awake for this long, right?"
"What are you talking about? Nightmare? What kind of monster is that?" Yue Wuyi, the monster-blind man, asked in utter ignorance.
Shao Gong explained, "Nightmare, as the name suggests, feeds on dreams. If an ordinary person is invaded by a nightmare, it is not a big deal; they will recover after a couple of days of mental exhaustion. It is rare to see someone like Young Master Xia who is trapped in a dream."
“Nightmares feed on dreams and grow stronger within them. If a person experiences much worry, hatred, and fear in their dreams, the nightmares will transform into evil entities, trapping their consciousness and soul within the dream, preventing them from waking up.” Xie Yi said, “I observe that young friend Xia has a heavy heart, and I fear that he is not having a good time in his dreams either, causing the nightmares to transform into evil entities, which is why he is trapped now.”
"Then how do we save him? If he keeps sleeping like this, he'll starve to death if he doesn't eat or drink!" Yue Wuyi was getting anxious.
Shao Gong said, "As long as you send the other person's consciousness into their dream and wake them up, it will be fine. However, the human mind is bizarre and unpredictable, and dreams directly reflect this. Such strangeness makes entering a dream quite dangerous."
Yue Wuyi immediately said, "What's there to be afraid of! Yi Ze is my good friend, I have to go save him..."
"I'll do it."
A voice from behind interrupted Yue Wuyi.
Everyone turned around and saw Long Xun, who no longer concealed his appearance, standing there quietly, his gaze fixed on Xia Yize, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and coldly repeating: "I'll do it."
"But Senior Long..." Before Wenren Yu could finish speaking, Long Xun's figure suddenly became ethereal, flying to the bed like a wisp of smoke and disappearing into Xia Yize's mind.
What Long Xun said was not a request for their opinions, but a notification.
"Huh?? Senior Long just went in like that? Will something happen to him?" Yue Wuyi asked.
Shao Gong's lips curled slightly, making him appear somewhat unfathomable. Upon closer inspection, however, he remained as gentle as ever, simply reassuring him, "My godfather is merely a wisp of consciousness; it is far more appropriate for him to awaken Yize. Young Master Le need not worry."
"Okay... so what can we do now?"
"The only option now is to...wait."
