Chapter 22: The Dreambreaker
In Burke's desperation, a pair of feet came into view.
Burke took Wen Ying's head into his arms, and stared at Bai Lili with his eyes as if he was about to eat people.
"I'll kill you, I promise." Furious, he squeezed a word out between his teeth.
Burke pulled out his dagger and slashed his neck with an extremely fierce gaze.
…………
He reopened his eyes with a calm face, and saw that his wife was running towards him, and without hesitation, Burke raised his gun and aimed it at her head.
"Wife, wait for me to come back." He said.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Looking at his wife, who was killed by his own hands, Burke's heart was dripping blood.
He opened his eyes again, only this time he woke up in a place that was not the infinite loop before, but in a place that was extremely dark in all directions.
Looking at this situation, it must be in a huge cave.
As Burke expected, he didn't enter any bullshit cycle when he started over, and everything that just happened was his dream.
Snails.
Not a good thing in the first place!
Trapped in a dream, he was modified by the snail mother!
By the time Burke saw the snail's spiral shell, he had been hypnotized and put into a deep sleep!
At that time, I felt in a dream, but I was a little dizzy and in poor spirits.
Because the dream and reality fit so well, Burke didn't realize that he was already in a dream.
Burke didn't kill the people of the Goscent group, and they didn't come at all, so it was all a dream.
The first half of the dream is controlled by the snail mother, but from the second half onwards, the dream is taken over by another thing.
Ghost Ring......
A Rank A cursed item that stores souls and converts them into ghost-summoning objects.
Its side effect is nightmares.
Bai Lili is the incarnation of nightmares.
In dreams, nightmares are like gods and can control anything.
So in dreams, Burke can be done by anyone.
At the end of the day, Nightmare knows what Burke is thinking.
Because he knew Burke, he set up a way to break the dream, which was Burke's greatest weakness.
Unwilling to kill those close to him with his own hands.
It's a pity that Burke doesn't have too many bonds with others in this world, and the only ones who have some feelings are Nord and Gray.
Therefore, the Ghost Ring chose Nord.
When Burke made up his mind to kill Nord, the ghost panicked.
But he made a fatal mistake, he shouldn't, he shouldn't, he shouldn't, he shouldn't have moved Burke's wife out.
When his wife appeared and died in front of his eyes, Burke understood it all.
Because it is absolutely impossible for a wife to come to this world, let alone such a way of appearing.
He understood that it was a dream, and he understood how to break it.
"You shouldn't have done anything to my wife." Burke took the ghost ring off and placed it in his backpack.
He won't let go of this ghost ring easily, and he won't let go of the creator of this dream.
He slowly got up and found himself with a sticky hose stuck in his navel.
Burke cut it off with a single blow, and the hose spewed out a yellowed liquid, and then immediately retracted to the ground.
He circled around and found huddled humans on all sides.
They were emaciated and shriveled, each with the same white hose stuck in their stomachs as Burke.
If it weren't for the slight breathing they made, Burke would have thought they were all dead.
In a large open field, there is hardly a place to stay.
Dense crowds of humans lay on the ground, their eyes closed, and their mouths murmuring.
Every dreamer here is an unfortunate person who has looked directly at the snail mother, and all of them are the snail mother's nourishment.
Burke stepped on their bodies, stepping forward.
After a long journey, he began to see the dreamers transforming into snails.
They were already curled up in a lump, and their flesh began to merge together, like a disc.
He walked another distance, and the signs of these fusions became more and more apparent, and his neck began to lengthen, even secreting mucus.
"Think...... Eat...... Rice ......"
A mature snail attacks Burke.
Burke had a cold face and shot it off.
Bang bang!!!
Gunshots rang out in the empty cave, and Burke fought his way out.
Snails are all over the cave, on the walls, on the overheads, densely packed, innumerable.
The further Burke went, the smaller the road became, and when he finally broke out of the siege and saw the light again, the hole that had been half the size of a basketball court became the size of a car.
The lush forest outside had been cut down a lot, and there were a lot of people working together, as if they were building something.
Burke looked up and saw behind him the huge snail shell, which Burke had come out of.
That cave is supposed to be his digestive system, and a human who is completely drained will turn into a snail and get out of this cave on his own.
Burke walked down his shell.
"Do you think there's someone next to the snail mother!?"
"Crazy, how can you ...... around the snail," he teased with a smile, but before he could finish his sentence, he also noticed Burke under the snail's shell.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to the past.
"That guy is the guy that the law enforcement team said came to open up the wasteland, right?"
"No, that guy isn't dead?"
"When did he get to the Snail Mother?"
"Let's go, let's see!"
Burke, who was walking alone on the mountain, was soon spotted, and the group of guys were wearing octopus-style hoods and slowly leaning towards Burke with weapons in hand.
The hood is a bit funny, but it helps to protect them from being hypnotized by the snail shell.
Burke, who was standing on the high mountain, naturally noticed that they were slowly approaching.
Soon, a confrontation arose between the two sides halfway up the mountain.
"Hello buddy, my name is Lem and I'm from the Gaucent Group." He gave his name and the organization behind it.
"What are you going to do here?" Burke didn't explain anything to himself, but questioned him directly.
"Our Gaosente Group is a major battery factory, and the snail mother is here, so we naturally want to build a battery factory here."
Lem didn't shy away from saying it.
Hearing this, everyone immediately showed proud expressions.
Obviously, the Gaucent Group has brought them a great sense of honor.
They also believe that there is no such thing as a long-sighted opponent of the Gausente Group, not to mention that Burke is only a weak person.
"Go back and tell your boss that there are no snails here." Burke said.
"Why don't you have a snail? Isn't that the one behind you? ”
Burke glanced back at the huge snail shell and said coldly, "It won't be anymore soon." ”
