Chapter 98, Awakening from a Dream

The roar at the end of the corridor was getting closer, and the group of us was getting more and more anxious.

"What should I do, what should I do now?" Song Qian looked flustered, and pointed her flashlight at the dark Yongdao.

I glanced at Tang Yuying, and sweat began to break out on my forehead.

Now we have no way back but to pin all our hopes on opening the door.

The iron door has no mechanism, no lock, it cannot be broken by violence, there is only one very strange question on it, are you dreaming?

If you guess correctly, the answer to this question is likely to be the key to open the door.

But now the situation is very special, even if you are lucky enough to have the key, but you can't find the keyhole to open the door, this is the most frustrating and weird part.

So where is the key and keyhole?

I took a deep breath and covered my ears, trying to keep myself calm and not be disturbed by the outside world.

Are you sure you're dreaming?

Of course it's dreaming, this game itself is a nightmare game, and everything starts with the nightmare world, and you can't go wrong with that.

Now that it is clear that he is dreaming, this question seems to be a bit redundant.

No!

Wrong!

I raised my eyebrows, the question itself is not as straightforward as it seems, and there is a deeper meaning.

The question itself asks not just about dreaming, it asks about how you would wake up from a nightmare if you knew you were dreaming.

What can be done to wake up a dreamer?

Quite simply, outside interference!

Either you were woken up by someone or you were awakened by some movement.

In the case that you can't wake up, the interference and noise of the outside world is the most direct way to wake up the dreamer.

Now that we are dreaming, what should we do to wake ourselves up?

The first thing that comes to mind is pain, there is often such a clip on TV, when encountering unbelievable things, the characters in it will always ask the people around them to beat themselves to confirm whether they are dreaming.

It hurts, it's not a dream.

But this method has no effect on us, in the world of nightmares, pain is real, but it does not wake people up from nightmares.

Whether it was Hu Kui, Liu Meng, or Tian Hongli, who was bitten to death by zombies, the three of them had experienced a great deal of pain and stimulation, and they had no intention of waking up from a dream at all.

If even the stimulus of pain can't keep us awake, then what else can be done?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little desperate for a while.

The movement in the corridor is getting bigger and bigger, and the crisis is getting closer and closer, and many people around me are staring at me, their eyes are anxious, and cold sweat is breaking out.

My mind raced, and I was trying to analyze and eliminate hypotheses one by one.

Soon, I suddenly froze.

Wrong!

The whole idea was wrong, I was thinking in the wrong direction!

Since we are dreamers, how can we wake ourselves up in a dream?

In our current state, no matter how much stimulation we encounter and how strong the interference is, to put it bluntly, we are still dreaming.

You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, just as you can never wake yourself up in a dream.

In other words, the key to truly waking up is not in us now, but in our sleeping being.

Only by stimulating the sleeping body can we wake up, which ...... is the key to breaking dreams!

At this thought, I jerked my head up and looked through the fist-sized glass window, my eyes shining at the scene inside the door.

At this moment, I finally understood what was on the other side of the door.

It was our 174 classroom, and the people in the seats were ourselves, our sleeping bodies......

I see......

I wiped a cold sweat and felt settled.

After figuring it all out, I quickly pulled out my short knife and stabbed it against the window.

With the sound of "bang", the glass exploded instantly, and the dazzling light came out through the window, making me involuntarily close my eyes.

I put my mouth in front of the window, put my hands on both sides, made a trumpet shape, took a deep breath, and then yelled: "Luo Geng!

"Roar~!"

What responded to me was a roar behind me.

I subconsciously looked back and saw a tall humanoid monster standing at the end of the road.

The monster's head was covered with tiny tentacles that seemed to be its hair, but it looked like a viper swinging its body.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the tops of these "hairs" also have mouthparts covered with sharp teeth.

Although it looks very small, it can't stand a large number of dense pieces.

Just imagine how terrible it would be to have a person's hair, all made up of tiny poisonous snakes.

In addition to the snake-like hair, this monster also has five thick tentacles on its hands and feet.

Each tentacle is thicker than our thighs.

As soon as the sharp end opens and closes, in addition to the sharp mouthparts, you can also see a scarlet eyeball growing inside!

They open their mouthparts as if they were independent beings, staring straight at us with their eyes inside.

"Roar~!"

The monster roared again, and the mouth suddenly cracked, opening wide, and it was densely packed with tentacles, which inexplicably reminded me of the mutant zombies in Resident Evil, the kind that can rip.

As soon as the monster appeared, everyone's faces turned pale with fright.

It didn't give us the slightest buffer, and after roaring, it rushed at a breakneck speed with its hands and feet.

Before the body could get closer, its tentacles had grown rapidly, and they were like arrows from the string.

I was anxious, and shouted again at the window: "Luo Geng!

After the roar, the iron door suddenly opened with a "click".

Opening from the inside, a large area of dazzling light instantly covered the entire corridor.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I pulled Tang Yuying and a few people and rushed directly into the iron gate.

In an instant, my eyes had become a white expanse, I couldn't see anything clearly, the people around me suddenly disappeared, and the voice was still, as if I was the only one left in the world.

As the light faded until it faded, I realized that I was back in the classroom.

Outside the window, it was already dark, and the incandescent lamp overhead gave off a bright, gentle light.

I subconsciously looked to the side, Tang Yuying was still there, Wang Gang and Song Qian were fine, they just sat in their seats, looking around blankly.

"What......'s going on? Are you alright?"

Wang Gang's eyes widened, and he had some palpitations, just now the monster rushed over, and he was alone with a short knife in front of him, but he had the mentality of death.

Now in a blink of an eye, the monster disappeared, the weird corridor was gone, and it appeared in the classroom inexplicably, even if his nerves were big, he couldn't react a little.

"It's okay, we should have come out of the nightmare world. ”

I let out a long breath, I was fighting for my life just now, but fortunately, at the last minute, I made the right bet again.

The key to breaking dreams is not us who are dreaming, but us who are already asleep.

Only by waking up the sleeping body can we wake up from the nightmare world, and the world behind the door I saw before is equivalent to the real world, and there is only a door between dream and reality, and it is also a matter of thought.

The reason why I call myself by my name is because everyone has a strong sense of their own name, which is a habit accumulated over many years.

There may be times when you don't hear what people are saying, but as soon as your name is mentioned, you will instantly feel it.

"What happened just now, why did you suddenly return to the classroom?" Wang Gang asked again.

I didn't hide it, I told it briefly.

After listening, Wang Gang's eyes couldn't help but widen: "You mean, it was you in the dream just now, who woke you up in reality?"

I nodded: "That's pretty much what it means." ”

"Uh...... It's kind of weird. Wang Gang was a little speechless.

At this time, I accidentally found that in addition to a few of us who woke up first, the rest of the classmates who were sleeping on their stomachs also woke up from their dreams one after another.

Everyone had different expressions, some surprised, some confused, some frightened, and even two people woke up screaming, as if something terrible had happened.

"Why did they wake up?"

Song Qian looked at Zhang Liang who woke up, and looked a little displeased.

"It seems that after the dream was broken, we were not the only ones who benefited. Tang Yuying's expression was indifferent.

"It's a nightmare game for the whole class, and if one person wakes up from a dream, the rest of them wake up quickly. I said.

"Why? We worked so hard that it took a lot of effort to escape from the light building, and they didn't have to do anything to follow the light, it's so unfair!" Wang Gang looked unhappy.

"The existence of this game is unfair in itself, there is nothing to complain about, we can just live. ”

There was no fluctuation in my heart.

I counted it just now, and several people in the class have disappeared, including Tian Hongli and Jia Fu Jiagui, who are already dead.

In addition to the disappeared people, many of the classmates who woke up were already injured, ranging in severity and severity, without exception, these injured people were all frightened and looked terrified.

After many people wake up, they don't say a word, they take a taxi directly to the hospital, the focus is on the ambulance called, for a while, the whole class is in turmoil, and there are only a few people who can keep calm.

In the world of nightmares, some people experience fear, while others do not encounter monsters.

Including me and Wang Gang, from beginning to end, the monsters we were afraid of never appeared.

I don't know what I'm afraid of, and Wang Gang's "Chu Renmei" has not reacted.

Of course, this doesn't mean a good thing, and I have a vague guess that maybe the more terrifying the monster, the later it will appear.

Now the nightmare game is not over yet, once Chu Renmei or the monster I fear in my heart appears, I am afraid that it will be the stage of life and death.

Liu Meng, with Luo Tian's support, had already gone to the hospital, and the two of them pierced the last layer of window paper at a critical juncture and confirmed the relationship between lovers, which is a good thing.

As for Hu Kui and the others, who had entered the light building before, before going to the hospital, they glared at me viciously, and their eyes were very unkind.

At this time, Wang Gang suddenly screamed strangely: "! Why has it only been an hour?"

"What?" asked Liu Yun.

"Time!" Wang Gang pointed to his phone: "We stayed in the nightmare world for at least one night, but in reality it was only an hour! In this way, seven days, we can't stay in the nightmare world for a few months?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.
