"Is this the end of the space?"
"We need to find the puzzle pieces now, using this Puzzle Gentleman to open the door to the exit."
Guinaifen steadied herself slightly.
Clarifying her in-ga objective.
The two fragnts had run off to the left and right rooms.
She first went to the left room.
It was a cozy-looking toy room.
Even the background music had changed to a safe house tune.
Lines of text appeared.
[This is the Origami Bird I folded for you…]
[Mikhail, take it with you!]
[It will protect you from harm.]
The right room was a spacious guest room.
There were also so wandering Dreamjolt Troupe mbers inside.
Guinaifen carefully avoided these monsters.
The second fragnt was obtained.
["I will definitely protect it."]
["I promise you, Mikhail..."]
["So, you must protect yourself too..."]
White text.
Floating in the air like a ghost.
Guinaifen felt like she should have gotten used to it by now.
After all, she had seen so many "monologues" along the way.
But.
It still felt a bit unsettling to look at now.
"It's fine, it's fine..."
"We're almost at the exit~"
The puzzle was completed.
A large gate materialized out of thin air.
She stepped forward,
interacted with it.
After the door opened,
a long corridor was revealed.
As she progressed further,
the surrounding lights grew dimr.
The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie!
After opening another door,
she entered a new room.
The room was extrely dim, with only a treasure chest at the center bathed in a spotlight.
"Could there be so luxurious reward inside?"
"Never mind... I don't have any hope for what's inside the chest anymore."
At that mont,
Guinaifen hadn't yet realized the severity of the situation.
The mont she opened the chest,
instead of the expected reward notification,
the screen went black!
"Ding ling ling ling—"
Accompanied by a series of urgent alarm bells,
all the lights in the room turned on.
The scene inside the room was fully revealed.
Guinaifen was startled!
"Wait, wait..."
"Why does the background music sound even more sinister now?!"
"It feels like there's sothing wandering around..."
"Damn it... this art style is off!"
Old-fashioned CRT TVs were piled up in the corner.
And on all sides of the room,
there were identical doors everywhere!
Guinaifen licked her dry lips.
She glanced at the mission prompt.
["Find any door to leave this place"]
She started to panic.
She could only try to ease the unsettling atmosphere by constantly talking to herself.
"This isn't the sa type of horror as Fyxestroll Garden."
"Although there's no direct threat..."
"It gives off a subtle sense of fear and absurdity..."
She chose the door at the top.
Switched to Fu Xuan.
After activating a Technique Shield, she sprinted at full speed!
Her experience from exploring the Seclusion Zone of the space station ca in handy.
.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss—"
Just as she was about to reach the door.
The screen suddenly flickered.
Accompanied by a piercing electric current sound.
Little Gui's mouth twitched.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She almost dropped the controller.
"Wait... who taught you to make a ga like this!"
"Isn't this supposed to be a Space Cody? Why does it feel like a horror ga now!"
"That flicker almost scared to death..."
...
"Oh my god..."
"That scared the hell out of ..."
"Such eerie music..."
"Even watching Little Gui play is so terrifying?"
"Don't scare like that, ahhh!"
"It's midnight here."
"I quickly pulled my feet back under the blanket!"
...
"This is... a ghost wall!"
Guinaifen exclaid.
Coming out of the room, it was still the sa room!
The only change was.
So stacked TVs now displayed a No Signal snow screen.
Beside the black-and-white TV, many words slowly appeared.
[Help]
[Save ]
Entering the room again.
The background music beca even more urgent.
The ticking sound of the clock's countdown grew faster and faster...
Guinaifen's scalp was already tingling!
Everything around her was hinting at one thing—
Sothing extrely bad was about to happen!
And yet, she had no choice but to push forward!
Because.
She had just tried.
She couldn't teleport now!
Teleportation was completely disabled!
All the prompts on the screen were garbled!
"Oh my god..."
"What the hell is going on!"
"It feels like I've fallen into a damn nightmare..."
"Guys, save Little Gui!!!"
"Ding ling ling—"
The urgent alarm sounded again!
Now.
Every ti she opened a door.
Guinaifen's heart skipped a beat!
She cried out in despair, "Yu Ling, why don't you make a horror ga!"
"This damn atmosphere and imrsion are off the charts!"
[Please help …]
[Please help …]
[I don't want to die]
Firefly's voice reminded her, "The TV's flicker is so blinding... Be careful, it feels like sothing is..."
Thump!
Thump!
The sound of a heartbeat echoed.
On the TV in front of Stelle and Firefly.
The snow screen seed to suddenly receive a signal!
But what appeared was—
An eye-like object!
Then.
All the TV screens displayed the sa eerie purple eye!
Stelle imdiately pulled out her bat, shielding Firefly behind her.
Above the two of them.
A purple light flashed.
The purple eye actually materialized into reality!
It crawled out from the shadows!
Its main body resembled a grotesque hand.
And those eyes were growing on the palm and arm.
Scattered around were so loose eyes.
All hanging upside down!
All staring down at Stelle and Firefly below.
Guinaifen was completely stunned.
She was so scared that her hotown dialect slipped out.
"My dear grandma..."
"What the hell is this thing!"
"It's so evil, so creepy...!!!"
[Entering battle]
Guinaifen slowly exhaled...
Seeing the monster actually made her less scared.
It was the unseen that was terrifying.
After calming herself down.
She began to observe the monster's weaknesses.
Guinaifen gathered her courage.
Trying to regain so composure from the earlier chaos.
"Wind, fire, Imaginary..."
"Alright, alright."
"Good thing I brought Imbibitor Lunae Dan Heng!"
"As long as it has a weakness, we're good!"
"No matter what kind of monster you are, I'll just unleash the Azure Dragon's Wrath!"
...
"Dan Heng: My job."
"Ruan i: Interesting, let study this."
"This is so damn intense!"
"The contrast is way too big, how could such a monster appear in Clockie's house?"
"Is this the secret the family has been hiding?"
"Damn it! There's actually sothing like this in the Dreamscape? If I had to experience this, I'd probably faint on the spot."
"Holy crap, this young guy! Even if you paid now, I wouldn't go to Penacony."
...
At this mont.
It was the mory Zone Sothing Unto Death's turn to act.
A prompt suddenly appeared on the interface.
[The Reverie Descends] has stacked 3 layers.
"Thud—"
Sothing Unto Death suddenly concealed itself in the darkness.
When it reappeared.
It was right above Ruan i in the party.
A flash of blood-red light in its eyes.
Its sharp claws slashed downward!
Guinaifen was stunned!
"What just happened!?"
"My full-health Ruan i got instantly killed?"
"How is this monster so strong?"
"What the hell!"
"And it even took Ruan i's soul!?"
...
The Reverie Hotel.
Lobby.
Witnessing this scene in the ga.
All the players watching were completely stunned!
Previously, most players had been criticizing the Family, accusing them of false advertising and concealing so unpleasant aspects of the Dreamscape!
However, a small portion of players believed it wasn't a big deal. Instead, they thought it added so thrilling excitent to the Dreamscape! After all, they still believed that true death wasn't possible in the Dreamscape.
But now, with the appearance of this monster, that previous belief was completely shattered!
"Damn it! Is this thing really a monster that exists in the Dreamscape?"
"I could accept monsters like the Dreamjolt Troupe, but this thing… just one look at it, and my sanity is draining!"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong…"
"Family, how the hell are you going to explain this!?"
"Listen to this monster's na—Sothing Unto Death! Even Yu Ling gave it such a terrifying na, which is enough to show how horrifying this monster really is! It can actually kill people!"
"Thank goodness I chose to stay in reality and didn't enter the Dreamscape…"
At the sa ti, in the major Dreamscape zones, the scene being broadcast on the big screens almost scared all the tourists and players awake!
"Oh my god! I can't stay in this Dreamscape any longer!"
"I need to leave!"
"Run for it!"
"When I get back to reality, I'm going to demand the Family compensate for my ntal trauma!"
