Chapter 5: Into the Dream

Xun Yuan sat on the general manager's office chair and moved the thick documents on the desk in front of him.

He let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples with one hand, hesitated, rested his head on the papers, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

His body gradually relaxed, and then he felt his body fall downward, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a world shrouded in white mist, with nothing, no heaven or earth.

Xun Yuan looked at the world around him, a wry smile appeared in his mouth, and he continued to close his eyes, letting the whole person continue to sink.

The feeling of falling became deeper and deeper, and knowing that his body suddenly became lighter, he did not continue to fall, but floated up gently, and he opened his eyes again.

There was a person sleeping on the desk below, that person looked exactly like himself, and there was the identity card of the general manager on the desk, he looked up again and saw Liu Ge with an anxious face, he turned his head again and saw Zhou Mengyun's surprised eyes, and the two looked at each other again.

Can she see me?

Xun Yuan was shocked in his heart, he knew that his current state was invisible to ordinary people, but the expression on this girl's face and her gaze proved that she could see herself.

At this time, there are two Xunyuan in the office, one is sleeping on the table, and the other is floating in the air, this floating Xunyuan in mid-air, the body is translucent, surrounded by white mist, just like a ghost in people's mouths.

Liu Ge couldn't see him, but Zhou Mengyun covered his mouth and stared at Xun Yuan in mid-air.

Xun Yuan glanced at Zhou Mengyun deeply, he knew that now was not the time to think about this, it was important to save people.

He floated towards Liu Ruting on the sofa and plunged into her body.

It was a world full of darkness, and Xun Yuan kept falling in such a world, until the sky swirled, and he fell to the floor of the hospital corridor.

There was a real pain on his body, which made him cough uncontrollably, at this time he was no longer an illusory body, he was actually flesh and blood, no different from usual.

He slowly got up and looked around him, the dimly lit hallway filled with the smell of alcohol.

Turning his head, he saw a thick black mist in the corridor in the distance, and he didn't think about it, so he ran quickly over there.

At this moment, the walls on both sides of the corridor made a dull cracking sound, and cracks bloomed on them.

Xun Yuan's face was anxious, this dream has begun to collapse, proving that the owner of this dream is about to die, is he a step too late after all?

He sprinted desperately, running towards the black gas in front of him.

Liu Ruting, who was in the deep darkness, slowly couldn't feel her pain, her consciousness gradually dissipated, she seemed to be asleep, but instinct told her that as long as she fell asleep, she would never wake up.

Wouldn't it be a relief not to wake up? Sleep, sleep, let yourself sleep well......

"Liu Ruting!"

She heard someone else calling, as if a man was calling her name again, far away, but she heard it very clearly.

As consciousness gradually returned, she struggled to respond, "I'm here ......"

She staggered in the direction of the sound, step by step.

The voice of her name kept on coming, and it was getting closer and closer, she was fully conscious, the pain in her neck came again, and her vision began to return.

She saw the long-haired woman in front of her again, and she wanted to scream, but the long black hair crawled into her mouth and forced her screams back.

The feeling of suffocation came again, accompanied by a deep feeling of nausea, Liu Ruting kept retching, she struggled desperately, and went to pick out the long hair in her mouth with both hands, but she was tied by the long black hair and couldn't move.

In desperation, she felt a pair of warm hands hug her waist, and a huge force pulled her back.

Darkness and hair were far away from her for a moment, and the hospital hallway reappeared in front of her.

She felt the back of her head resting against her warm, firm chest, and she looked up to see Xunyuan's nervous face.

"Looking for a doctor?" asked Liu Ruting in disbelief.

Xun Yuan snorted and kept turning his head to look around, as if he was looking for something.

"I ...... Am I dreaming, and why are you in my dream?" Liu Ruting asked.

"You're dreaming, think about what Yang Bin said to you. Xun Yuan said lightly.

Liu Ruting immediately understood, and muttered, "It turns out that you can really enter other people's dreams." ”

"Can you stand on your own?" asked Xun Yuan, looking down after searching around to no avail.

Liu Ruting nodded, stood up and rubbed her sore neck.

Her heart is still full of fear, but she doesn't know why, as long as Xunyuan is by her side, she feels an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.

"What's next?" asked Liu Ruting.

"Find your nightmare, solve it, and we'll get out." ”

The figure of the woman in red appeared in Liu Ruting's mind, and she couldn't help but shudder, shook her head and asked, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes, you kill yourself now, I can get out. Xun Yuan said seriously.

Liu Ruting seemed to be petrified, and the little goodwill that had just sprung up suddenly disappeared, and she was about to go back, but she saw a red shadow behind Xunyuan.

"Behind!" Liu Ruting pointed to Xun Yuan's back and exclaimed.

Xun Yuan quickly turned around and protected Liu Ruting behind him.

It was a terrifying woman, with a bright blood-dripping dress, slender and horrible fingers, her face was hidden by the long hair dragging on the ground, and she just stood there silently, motionless.

Xun Yuan asked softly, "Do you see anything she can think of?"

"I can't think of ......" Liu Ruting said in a trembling voice, she hid behind Xun Yuan, and didn't even dare to look at it.

The woman in red didn't move, and neither of them dared to move.

Liu Ruting lowered her voice and asked, "Doctor Xun, do you have any way to deal with this monster?"

"No, it's powerful, I'm not an opponent. Xun Yuan shook his head and said.

Liu Ruting was desperate and guilty, if he hadn't gone to find a doctor by himself, he wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

Xun Yuan looked at the woman in red in front of him, and memories were recalled in his mind.

Nightmare is a monster parasitic in human dreams, it has no fixed shape, it will use the host's spirit as a carrier, when people are afraid of things, or hope for something, the nightmare will transform into a corresponding appearance, the woman in red in front of her must be Liu Ruting's demon, but she has not yet discovered it.

Moreover, the nightmare will draw energy from the fears and desires of humans to strengthen itself, and the nightmare in front of him has obviously absorbed enough power to know that he is not an opponent.

His eyes were fixed on the woman in red in front of him, and he said, "There is another way, but it is very risky." ”

"What's the way?" Liu Ruting hurriedly asked.

"I can take you into its subconscious, all you have to do is you have to find your fears or desires. Xun Yuan said lightly.

"What if I don't find it?" asked Liu Ruting.

Xun Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you don't find it, you and I will sink into this dream forever, which means that we will become vegetative people in the real world." ”

Liu Ruting lowered her head and asked, "Do I have no choice?"

Xun Yuan nodded and said, "This is the only way, if you don't do it, by the time it completely erodes your dreams, we will also die." ”

At this moment, the woman in red suddenly floated backwards, followed by a terrifying vibration, and the entire corridor shook, as if a terrifying earthquake had erupted.

"What's going on?!" Liu Ruting asked in horror, staggering around and holding on to Xun Yuan's arm so that she didn't fall to the ground.

Xun Yuan's face was as usual, unusually calm, and he opened his mouth to explain: "This is a sign of the gradual materialization of the dream, and when the whole dream becomes the physical world, we will not be saved." ”

"What are you talking about?!I don't understand!" Liu Ruting hugged Xun Yuan's arm tightly, and only the man in front of her made her find the only sense of security.

The tremors grew stronger, and then the entire corridor was plunged into endless darkness, as if the sun had disappeared in the middle of the day, and nothing could be seen.

Liu Ruting, who was on the verge of collapse, clutched the arm in her palm tightly, and the warmth from above supported her not to go crazy.

The feeling of falling hit again, and with Liu Ruting's exclamation, the two fell towards the depths of darkness.
