at this time.

Su Ziyu really felt like she had come into a fairy tale.

He saw a fairyland-like town and met a group of hospitable but talkative goblins. They prepared unusually rich food for him. There were also a few funny big-nosed goblins playing strange musical instruments, which made clear and pleasant sounds.

The rebellious Peak was sitting on his right, chattering away and asking all sorts of strange questions.

Most of them are about a place called 'Chessboard Country'.

There was a human kingdom with an extremely beautiful white queen, a white-bearded bishop, majestic knights, and sturdy and elite soldiers. Su Ziyu only nodded or shook his head occasionally, and did not give any response to Peak, but he continued to chatter, as if to prove to the other big fairies that he had really been to that place.

Their food is plentiful and delicious.

Most of the food had a mushroom flavor, and those various mushrooms seemed to be their staple food. In return, Su Ziyu took out half of his compressed biscuits and two-thirds of his chocolate bars and shared them with the big goblins. They liked this novel food very much, and some children even fought for the chocolate bars.

The male goblins have older faces, and most of them like to grow beards. The female goblins have softer faces, but they talk more and like to gather together and whisper.

Their mead tastes like sweet rice wine, with a fruity aroma and a very low alcohol content.

However, these big goblins have a low alcohol tolerance.

After just a few sips, their faces turned red and their big noses also turned red. Some people started fighting because of a few words, and they looked very dirty. Others didn't care and didn't try to stop them. Instead, they watched from the side with a smile, and some even joined in the fun.

They feel like a group of children who never grow up, but they are not dangerous.

Time passes by little by little.

As the banquet ended, the other big goblins returned to their own residences. The great elder arranged a large room for Su Ziyu, but the bed was a little small for him, so he simply slept on the floor.

"It's best not to go out at night."

Under the dim candlelight, the elder goblin's eyes were a little vague, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "There lives a witch with a bad temper in this forest. She sometimes appears at night, and it would be very dangerous if you meet her."

Witch?

Since there are magical creatures like goblins in this world, it is not surprising that there are also witches.

Su Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and nodded to the fairy elder to show that he understood. Soon, the lights outside went out one after another, and the whole town became quiet, forming a very strong contrast with the previous noisy environment.

It was quiet all around.

I don't know when, a thin layer of fog rose outside, and some faint rustling sounds could be heard, as if there were mice moving around at night.

Su Ziyu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.

He stood up slowly, put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and quietly took off the safety of the pistol in his right hand.

After experiencing so many worlds, he certainly didn't really think that he had come to a fairy tale world. The woman who claimed to be from Atlantis told him that whether he was willing or not, the hourglass of time would take him to find those unspeakable horrors.

Everything that seems beautiful and fairy-tale-like during the day must hide unknown darkness behind it.

Creak.

Su Ziyu's door was gently opened, and then a very light sound of footsteps was heard, approaching the room little by little.

When this sneaky figure just walked into the room, suddenly a cold short blade was placed on his neck, and then Su Ziyu's low voice sounded: "What do you want to do by sneaking into my room at night?"

With the dim light, Su Ziyu could see clearly that the person who sneaked in was a big demon.

"You are indeed more powerful than I thought." A slightly hoarse voice sounded.

The goblin's head suddenly twisted 180 degrees strangely, and it stared at him with its slightly cloudy brown eyes, and said slowly: "A human? Why did you come to the Dream Forest?"

"The witches guarding this place have gone mad." "They can't help you."

Thriller.

The goblin suddenly turned its head 180 degrees, which frightened Su Ziyu so much that his heart skipped a beat. When he saw the goblin clearly, Su Ziyu felt even more horrified, and even broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

"Pick?" Su Ziyu looked at the unusually old face in front of him and asked in a puzzled tone.

The face of the big goblin in front of him looked like that of an old man over a hundred years old, covered with many wrinkles, but his face was very similar to the Peak he had seen during the day, and he looked like another extremely old Peak.

"Hehe." The old Peak in front of him let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh.

Just like an old man who was about to die of thirst, he opened his mouth, his cracked lips revealed a row of sharp teeth, he licked his lips with his long tongue and said, "I'm not that idiot, you can call me Jack."

"Human."

"I know you have a lot of doubts, maybe we can sit down and talk."

The guy who called himself Jack was wearing the same clothes as during the day. He turned his head 180 degrees and turned back. After Su Ziyu retracted the blade, he sat directly on the low table beside him.

He stared at Su Ziyu, his cloudy brown eyes staring at him, and said slowly: "Are you here for the witch?"

"Yeah." Su Ziyu paused for a moment and nodded slightly.

Although he didn't know who the witch the other party was talking about, this did not prevent him from finding out more information based on the other party's words.

"It's useless." Jack smiled nervously, his face full of wrinkles and trembling as he said, "The witches have all gone crazy. Some of them died, some disappeared, and only the youngest witch would appear occasionally."

"Believe me."

"You definitely don't want to run into her."

Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and slowly said, "What happened here?"

Compared to the funny and cute goblins during the day, Jack looked like a hideous monster. His exposed arms were bony, with sharp black nails on his pale finger bones. He tapped the table lightly with these nails, and muttered in a low voice, "This place is cursed."

"We are all contaminated by nightmares. Everything you see during the day is just an illusion."

"Come with me. Keep your voice down."

Jack stood up gently, pushed open the door, made a gesture to keep quiet, and signaled Su Ziyu to follow slowly.

There is a light mist outside.

Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then followed with his weapon in hand. Jack took him to a wooden house, stood at the window, pointed inside and said, "Look for yourself."

“This is all real!”

Su Ziyu stood outside the window and looked inside. He felt a chill down his spine. There were two big goblins lying inside. Their faces were as old as Peak's, covered with dense wrinkles. Their exposed sharp teeth were quite sharp, and their black sharp nails were stained with something. Their skinny chests were slightly heaving, as if they were still sleeping.

They seemed to be dreaming about something, and their sharp teeth occasionally made gnawing movements.

"The daytime is still safe until the nightmare consumes everything."

Jack's figure gradually disappeared in the mist, and he said in a low and hoarse voice: "Human. Leave here tomorrow."

"We can't help you."

"Because we can't protect ourselves either!..."
