Suddenly, the girl in the red kimono raised her head, revealing a face that Kijima Suzuka felt very familiar with.
Before she could think it through, an even louder voice pierced through her dream:
"Monami?"
Suzuka Kijima suddenly opened her eyes, confirming that the sound was coming from the hallway. She glanced at the clock in the room to check the time, then answered the teacher who was calling her name again from outside the door:
"arrive!"
After 10 PM, dormitory supervisors will conduct roll call at the dormitory entrance. If you hear your name called during the check, please immediately say "Here!" Unoccupied beds will be reassigned by the school.
It was 10:17 PM, the time for dormitory checks after lights out.
In addition to this, there is another rule regarding the dormitory:
18. Please close all doors and windows before turning off the lights. Do not get out of bed or open the door for anyone, no matter what noise you hear. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Suzuka Kijima wasn't sure if the dormitory doors and windows were properly closed, but she didn't dare to try.
So, she could only gamble that her other roommates would cherish their ghostly lives and not cause any trouble. As for getting out of bed? Don't even think about it. He would be welded to the bed before the door opened at five o'clock the next morning.
Speaking of which...who was that familiar face she dreamed about?
Because of the incident involving the roll call, Suzuka Kijima could have immediately realized the original source of that face, but because her thoughts were interrupted, her memory was sealed again, causing her to miss the closest opportunity to the truth.
Not only Suzuka Kijima, but actually several other sleeping Chosen Ones dreamed of a little girl in a kimono at the same time, only the colors of the clothes varied.
Dreams will not appear in the live broadcasts from Earth.
Therefore, viewers in the live stream could only see the different expressions of the chosen ones from their respective countries; some looked scared, some were expressionless, and one pedophile seemed to be having a wet dream.
"Can the think tank kill that guy?"
"Why on earth would the Unspeakable choose such scum as the chosen one? What bad luck!"
"If it weren't for the authorities protecting him and helping him hide his identity, the families of the children he harmed back then would have already taken knives and killed him."
"It's not worth going to jail for a piece of trash..."
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."
"That chosen one from the Dragon Kingdom is also having fun, could it be...?"
"Pah! Our Dragon Kingdom's chosen one is a person who is physically and mentally healthy, has normal aesthetics, and a very ordinary sexual orientation. Your country's randomness is so perverted, don't drag the Dragon Kingdom down with you!"
When some viewers from China who were spying on other countries' live streams saw someone questioning their own chosen one, they exploded and started hurling insults in the chat.
However, Yin Zhu was indeed happy.
She squatted down in front of the little girl in the red kimono with yellow stars, and chuckled as she poked her rosy cheeks: "Shanshan, why have you shrunk? You've shrunk so much! Shouldn't we file a complaint about this?"
"...Stop fooling around, we're short on time, let's get down to business."
Hirano San, in her Zashiki-warashi form, tensed her little face and sternly brushed Yin Zhu's hand away: "Good news or bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
"Good news."
"The plan is half successful. Our guess was right: the Unspeakable are indeed higher-dimensional beings. The instance we are exploring is now a videotape, and our original Earth is nothing more than an unfinished videotape."
“Because it’s not finished yet, there are endless possibilities.” Yin Zhu quickly understood what Hirano Shan meant. “If we want to save Blue Star, we have to make the Unspeakable give up.”
"The bad news is that although I am theoretically infinitely close to the Unspeakable, because I chose a fixed talent development path in the original instance, my talent ceiling is locked, and I can only become a subordinate of the Unspeakable, unable to interfere with any of His choices."
Hirano Sane's expression was very serious as she rapidly relayed the important information:
"The current dream world is the [Dream Inception] space that I created after upgrading my talent after becoming the agent of the dungeon. It can hide from unspeakable surveillance, but it can't last long."
"How long exactly?"
"It's not important, listen to me." To prevent Yin Zhu from getting distracted, Hirano Shan quickly focused on the main points of the topic and shared more information with her.
Yin Zhu's expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious.
"...Anyway, think about it carefully yourself."
Hirano Shan felt that her power was almost exhausted, so she quickly finished speaking and kicked Yin Zhu out of the dream.
At the same time, apart from the pedophile's live stream announcing the death of the chosen one, the other chosen ones who had fallen into a deep sleep also opened their eyes at the same time, completely bewildered by their dreams.
Staring at the ceiling, Yin Zhu felt a furry touch beside her. The cat looked up at Yin Zhu, who shuddered suddenly. After all, she was curled up in her fur sleeping, and the trembling was very noticeable. "Having a nightmare?"
"It seems... I dreamt about my time in the human realm," Yin Zhu said absentmindedly. "However, I can't remember clearly."
"That's normal. Everyone is like that when they first arrive in the Ghost Realm."
The cat lay down again, adjusting its head to a comfortable position, and closed its eyes: "As time goes by, you will forget many things, forget your past, forget your happiness... only remembering endless hatred, sealed hatred, hatred for humans, and... yawn... hatred for the injustice of fate..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she had drifted back to sleep.
The cat's yawning infected Yin Zhu, causing her to subconsciously yawn as well. She squinted her eyes and drifted back to sleep. Her dream had been completely taken over by Hirano Shan, and she hadn't achieved her goal of resting. She was planning to go out tomorrow to check on the spread of her ghost stories, so she needed to get a good night's sleep tonight.
