Tan Bing's eyes stared at me hard, as if they had been frozen and brittled by their own frightened nightmare, made of glass, brittle and lifeless, and would crumble into slag in the blink of an eye.

I gasped for breath and lifted the hand on her shoulder, wanting to pat her again and remind her to continue—but I couldn't bear it.

"Don't ...... Let her slow down, she was stunned. Yoseki whispered behind him.

"I'm lying on that couch......" Tan Bing finally closed her eyelids, her eyeballs were not broken, and the flowing breath returned to her eyes, she glanced at me and continued:

"It didn't take long for strands of silk to stretch out from both sides of the couch, silently, like countless tentacles that suddenly sprouted, and in a moment they tied me firmly to the couch—in fact, there was no need to do that to me, the couch was lying on my own, I was so tired and frightened that I couldn't struggle.

"After the threads held me to the couch and made sure I couldn't move, the rest became even more weird, and the two filaments crossed into a cross and landed on the left side of my chest, and then they were inserted. ”

"'Embedded' in?" Jicheng couldn't help but ask softly.

"Yes, the thread of silk pierces through my garment and into my breastcage like two thin blades crossed by two handles. "Talking about the ice road, try to keep your voice as calm as possible.

"I watched as a cross was drawn on my chest, I didn't feel the pain, I only knew that my chest had been cut open, and wisps of blood, like broken agate beads, burst out of my chest sporadically, not falling, but rising into the air, bloody and gorgeous, it felt so real that I completely forgot that I was in a nightmare.

"My chest burst into bloom under my gaze, like a four-petaled flower, and I couldn't wait, and in an instant it was all gone, revealing the scarlet ribcage inside......! I didn't know how I would be a lamb to the slaughter, and I struggled to see it!

"I saw my heart, a fist-sized dark red thing beating in my chest, reminding me that I was still alive. It was the rhythm of life, even in such a frightened, helpless, and unbelievable situation, I saw my beating heart at a glance, and all thoughts of wanting to die disappeared, I wanted to live! I wanted to be rescued and lived! But ......

"I looked at the crossed silk threads, like a boning knife, pulling my heart out of my chest!" Tan Bing's speed of speech suddenly accelerated, and his voice involuntarily increased, like a steel needle, suddenly piercing us.

"Ahh

I quickly shut up - it was just a dream, a nightmare, anyway.

Tan Bing is out of the cell, she doesn't have to repeat this dream anymore, never again!

I involuntarily clenched my fists and nodded heavily.

"Just a nightmare. Jicheng said softly, with a sense of comfort in his words.

"Really?" Tan Bing sneered, muttering something in his mouth, reaching out and gently tearing open his clothes, revealing a piece of snow-white skin.

I saw that on the snow-white skin, there was a red and heavy scar!

"A decent cross mark, you...... Do you want to see it in its entirety?" Tan Bing said, as if he had a piece of ice in his mouth, and the words he said were terrifyingly cold.

I rushed up and grabbed her by the hem of her dress.

Isn't it just a nightmare?

Could it be a nightmare come true?

This hideous scar is alive right in front of you!

Is it illusion or reality?

I looked at the scar on Tan Bing's chest, flashing in front of my eyes, like a aquatic plant crawling on the white sand, hope is close at hand, but I can never return to the water, I can only be quietly roasted, blackened, silently died, embedded in the sand.

At this moment, I finally realized the fear, helplessness, despair, and resentment of Tan Bing, Huanqin, and the hundreds of imprisoned people!

I can't let you go, Lady of the Night.

How could I possibly let you go!

"Please continue. Long Ring said calmly.

"It doesn't matter if it's real or just a nightmare, since my sister and I were taken captive here, our lives have changed, everything that happens here, whether real or unreal, has sunk into our blood, even if we escape, everything will be like a shadow, follow us for a lifetime, and we can't get rid of it for the rest of our lives - who can get rid of their own shadow? But even then, I have to rescue Huanqin, take my sister with me, and live well under the sun, no matter how dark, heavy, and heavy the shadow is, we can still walk, jump, jump, and run freely, what can you do with me!" Tan Bing looked arrogant and spoke loudly.

I met her face, admiring in my heart, with mixed feelings, Tan Bing was such a sassy and proud woman!

I watched my heart beat as it was held up by the crossed threads, and was placed in the dark green porcelain bowl next to the couch and on the square platform, and sank into the bowl. When the thread floated out of the bowl, the heart it was holding turned into the snow-blue droplet-like thing I had just seen in the bowl!

Before I could react, the thread put the drop into my chest, and the four-petaled flower on my chest gradually closed, and I fell into a deep sleep in a nightmare, feeling nothing, and when I woke up, I was in the cell again. I checked myself in a panic, my hands and feet were complete, my life was still alive, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but on the left side of my chest, there was a fresh cross scar. ”

After Tan Bing finished speaking, she stopped speaking, she stopped, stood in the snow corridor, facing the corridor wall, looking left and right, as if she was seriously figuring out the location of the cell where she was staying.

We remained silent and stood beside her.

Looking ahead, it is the Snow Hall, which is empty at the moment, thinking that the red and blue dragons have rescued everyone; Looking back, it is the cave of the Emperor of the Nightmare, without any movement, dead and silent; At the foot of the Mountain, is the Snow Lake that the Lord of the Nightmare secretly dug up, slowly floating, but unable to penetrate, the Lord of the Nightmare, with his sister, the red bird transformed into the Pill Pill, and the dozen or so people he carefully selected, what are you doing in this Lake of the Nightmare?

How to break this stalemate!

How to break this stalemate!!

This silence suffocates me, and the nightmare of Tan Bing scares me, which ones are real and which are dreams? I don't know if in this moment, someone's chest was cut open? And that person, could it be my sister?!

"Dragon Ring, you asked Tan Bing to tell her dreams in as much detail as possible, what clues can you find in her dreams?" I asked.

"When you were awake, was the spider in the lower left corner of the cell wall still there?" asked Tan Bing, ignoring me.

"Yes, but it looks small, gray, very inconspicuous, I don't know who carved a spider pattern there. It's not like in a dream, it's sparkling. Tan Bing replied.

"And when you're awake, what's unusual about the spiders on the wall?" asked the dragon ring.

"No, no matter how much I touch it, the spider doesn't grow bigger or come alive, it only wakes up in my nightmare. Tan Bing replied.

"May I ask you, is there anyone else in the same cell as you who has had the same nightmare as you, and does he have a cross scar on his chest?" the spider stood on the periphery, her voice sounding a little timid.

Tan Bing turned her back to everyone, and when she heard this, she paused for a moment, and did not look back, feeling that she was gritting her teeth, and her cheeks looked over the back of her head, tense.

"Absolutely. Of the only ones I know, there are seven. Tan Bing said.

"I ...... I think I know, you...... It's not a nightmare, it's a ......" The spider's voice floated from behind, like a hesitant, stop-and-go ghost.

"It's not a nightmare, what is it?" Tan Bing suddenly turned around and asked sharply.

I, the dragon ring, and Jicheng also turned around and looked at the spiders.

"It's a mysterious ritual unique to our Snow Spiders, called ......'Heart Nourishment'. Spider, with her red eyes, met us, trying to steady his voice.

"'Mind'?" I asked, with an instinctive creeping.

"Take someone else's heart, borrow someone else's heart...... Nourish the snow drips. The spider's voice began to be unsteady.

"Why do you want to nourish the Snow Nightmare Drops?" asked the Dragon Ring in a deep voice.

"To raise the dead. The spider replied.
