"Wow-"

The iron-gray water surged in, hitting the reef on the shore fiercely, and the cyan waves rolled and made a loud "boom" sound.

The rising air came from below the cliffs, as if it were about to tear my clothes, and the sound I heard in my ears was like a gust of wind that was about to blast endless desolation into my body.

What a terrible weather.

When I silently recited this sentence in my mind, I suddenly realized that I was standing on a cliff by the sea.

The air was full of splashes and rain, the sky was full of dark clouds, and I stared at the water, which was the same deep black as the sea in the distance.

However, the city of Jinguan is not close to the sea.

Where exactly am I?

Looking back, a path on the cliff curved and stretched high, and a pitch-black tower loomed in the light of lightning.

In the distance, there is a blurred sky.

I made a split second judgment - this was a dream.

As a detective, my instincts have made it rare for me to have a confused dream - I can always quickly distinguish between dream and reality, which is a professional habit and a small regret.

Because for most people, dreams are a reflection of reality, and most dreams will satisfy some unobtainable fantasy of the dreamer, such as being rich or meeting someone of the opposite sex in a dream......

However, some horrific nightmares can also be a terrifying awakening.

Unfortunately, I seem to be in the middle of a nightmare.

The storm at sea was still raging, but I suddenly heard a strange sound in the wind.

It was a female voice calling my name.

Location...... It seems to be under a high cliff.

I looked down at the bottom of the cliffs, separated by heights that would frighten the faint of heart, and the raging tide and waves followed one after the other like ants besieging the city.

But as if sensing my gaze, the sea suddenly rolled up, and soon a huge whirlpool formed on the surface of the sea below the high cliff.

"Ji-Hikari-"

The female voice is clearer.

Far from a modern language, it was an ancient language that vibrated the air around me with esoteric syllables—a language I didn't understand, but I could understand that it was calling my name.

The source of the sound is in the depths of the vortex in the sea.

In dreams, there is a principle to avoid danger, because that may lead to unpredictable results.

However, my body seemed to be hypnotized, and it began to move on its own - and my consciousness was more like observing the world through a video camera, and the hand holding the camera did not belong to me.

I jumped up from a high cliff and plunged into the whirlpool of the sea.

The water was bone-chilling, and the cold instantly pierced my skin like a needle, and I only had time to take a deep breath when the powerful swirling current pulled me closer to the depths of the sea.

The powerful turbulence seemed to swoop down from above, slapping me deeper to the bottom of the ocean.

"Ji-Hikari."

The sea did not block the sound, and the female voice was even clearer, and it was soft, as if someone was lying in my ear and calling to me softly.

I went down the current.

A strange glimmer appeared in front of his eyes.

As a general rule of thumb, the deeper the water, the darker it becomes, but I found that there was a wonderful light shining in the depths of the water.

It was definitely not natural light like daylight, but a flash of light.

How to describe it?

Like a dusty gem pressed against a light source, or a light frozen by shattered ice...... Countless irregular reflective surfaces reflect light in all directions, and when my eyes receive it, it becomes a soft flash of light that is shattered and "frozen".

In the endless starry shimmer, a huge complex of buildings appeared before my eyes.

It was a massive, hollow cylindrical building made of huge black stones, and it looked like a large group of coelenterates growing on a black background—black leeches, round and full of blood, feeding suction cups and esophagus......

The voice calling for me was close at hand.

The current that carried me down was noticeably weakened, and I swung my limbs and swam hard, finally freeing myself from the current.

I swam towards the largest building.

With a slight hesitation, I plunged headlong into the hollow cylinder.

It was full of cloudy, thick black filling, jelly-like semi-solid, but weighted and shaped like plastic foam particles, and my body floated in all directions as soon as I stroked the water.

The black stream separates.

A snow-white face gradually became clearer.

Even though the strange black particles still obstructed my vision, I could still see that it was the face of a beautiful girl.

The girl's emerald eyes were open, her gaze seemed to be looking from a very distant place, she looked a little tired, and the expression on her face was somewhat incomprehensible to me—her lips were closed, and there was an illusory, fleeting smile at the corners of her mouth, but when I looked closely, I found that she was expressionless, like a frozen corpse.

I could read my lips and instantly understood that she was calling my name.

The girl was probably fifteen or sixteen years old, or maybe a little older—it might have been a surprise to me, and I made this judgment based on the look in her eyes.

It was not an innocent look.

I didn't even dare to make eye contact with her.

A long sentence flowed from the girl's mouth.

This time, she switched to another language and raised her voice like a carol.

At the same time, in the thick black filling, countless pairs of miserable white hands suddenly stretched out.

Each arm was as slender and white as a girl's body, and below the forearm of the arm, it was sunk in the black filling, and it was impossible to see clearly.

Countless pale arms spread out like sunflowers in front of me, and strange blood-red symbols were drawn on the open palms.

The carol came to an abrupt halt.

Countless pairs of arms closed one after another, strangled on the girl's body.

The exaggeratedly long white fingers reminded me of the tentacles of an octopus, deeply embedded in the white skin that could be broken by blowing—layer upon layer, like a tightened pale bud.

In the next second, all the palms retracted into the darkness, and on the girl's snow-white skin, there was a pattern of bloodstains......

A giant snake coiled around its body, with its mouth wide open and ready to choose someone to devour!

The corners of the girl's eyes curled slightly, revealing a smile.

The smile was extremely beautiful, as if it was enjoying supreme pleasure, but in my opinion, it was extremely eerie.

Because she called my name again, and then repeated a phrase several times.

"Tykley-Leigh! Tekley-Leigh! ”

Although I don't understand the meaning of this word, it is full of evil and demagoguery, and it does not need to be described in words.

Dark matter engulfed her.

There was no screaming, no sound.

The next moment, the darkness suddenly surged, turning into a cylindrical mouth with sharp teeth, and swallowed me in one gulp!

……

I woke up suddenly.

I found myself lying on the sofa in my office, surrounded by three people, none other than Lao Dao, Shen Tangzhi, and Hyde.

"You're finally awake, can you say hello next time you faint? Sooner or later, I'll be scared out of high blood pressure by you. The old knife was unforgiving, but he reached out and touched my forehead, and said to the other two, "It's strange, the fever has subsided." ”

"Fever?"

I tried to get up, but I found myself weak, my chest was suffocating, and I was covered in sweat, as if I had been salvaged from the water.

I was shocked - I remembered why I had this dream!
