Chapter 82: Dream Core Space 82
……

Consciousness is chaotic and in endless darkness.

Countless blurry images flashed before my eyes.

Lan Tong tried to look, but the images always shattered before she could see clearly, just like a tree full of withered yellow leaves, which fell sparsely to the ground when the breeze blew.

"Lantong! Wake up!"

"Lantong!"

Who is speaking?

It was hazy and the sound seemed to be covered by a thick layer of plastic film, making it sound extremely unreal.

Is Lan Tong her name?

Is someone calling her?
who is it?

She couldn't remember clearly and couldn't recall.

The vivid memories shattered into decadent gray and white fragments, which slowly pieced together to form a human face.

Lan Tong looked at this face for a long time and always felt that it seemed familiar.

Where have I seen it before... Where have I seen it before...

As she was thinking, she felt a sharp pain in her head, as if someone had hit her head hard with a blunt object.

It seemed as if it would burst open and spill blood all over the ground in the next second.

Countless fragments of memories mixed with human voices piled up together, and the data with an explosive amount of information gradually recovered in her mind. The feeling was even more painful than if she were killed.

Lan Tong held his head and screamed in despair, feeling helpless and hopeless.

The face pieced together from the fragments suddenly moved.

She had kind eyes, a pair of round almond-shaped eyes that raised a gentle arc, and a smile that stretched almost to her ears. The contrast was a little creepy.

She was staring at her.

She was enjoying her pain.

"It must be painful."

She spoke softly.

"As long as you die, you will be free."

Lan Tong was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. He held his head and banged it against the ground repeatedly, as if a bloody head was better than enduring such a life-or-death experience.

“No…” Lan Tong spoke with difficulty, each word conveying a unique stubbornness and persistence: “I can’t… die… I can’t die…”

The woman's smile became even more sarcastic after she saw Lan Tong's persistence.

"How pitiful, my sister."

Her eyes were compassionate, her smile was sarcastic, her voice was majestic and holy, and every word carried an echo from far away.

"I will pray for you day and night, and hope that you will never have an afterlife and never have to experience the pain of being a human again."

Lan Tong's dazed eyes seemed to regain a bit of clarity when she was addressed as "sister".

She stared at that face for a long time, and her dusty memories suddenly woke up.

The dilapidated city was filled with smoke and sand, and the streets were littered with scrapped cars. It seemed that human society had undergone a violent upheaval, and abandoned and desolate places were everywhere.

People wearing rabbit masks, ragged clothes and hunched bodies, held black and red torches and gathered towards the huge execution rack in the center of the city.

They were shouting something, and everyone's lip shapes were the same.

The more they shouted, the more excited and crazy they became. They stretched out their arms and cheered as if it was a carnival before doomsday.

When people gathered around the execution rack, a black-red flame fell from the sky and ignited the huge wooden rack the moment it hit the ground.

People screamed even more frantically, as if in pain, but also as if in relief.

They threw the torches in their hands into the fire one by one, and then either knelt on the ground crying bitterly or laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Some were pointing at the execution rack and seemed to be cursing.

It turned out that there was a person hanging on the execution rack, and she was buried in the wildfire.

……

"Gulu——"

After spitting out the last string of bubbles, Lan Tong finally opened her eyes in the water.

She tried to breathe, but suddenly choked on her saliva.

Lu Li's screams in his mind were deafening. "Lantong! Are you dead?!"

"not yet."

Lan Tong was holding her breath and her voice was very weak. She could clearly feel her brain was gradually lacking oxygen.

Using her last bit of strength, she looked up.

How far from the water?

"Shit... why is it so far away..."

After Lan Tong finished cursing, he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

Lu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's OK as long as you're still alive. Hurry up and use the prop, the Apology of the Guilty, it should be able to create some air for you!"

Lan Tong: "Isn't that for protection?"

"Stop talking nonsense and use it!"

Lu Li almost went crazy just now. Ever since Lan Tong took over his body, his body had no response.

She called Lan Tong for a long time, but Lan Tong seemed dead.

Even replacement cannot be replaced!
If it weren't for the frustration of being on the verge of death that made Lu Li couldn't help but roar a few times, she and Lan Tong would probably have died here.

Lan Tong activated the "Apology of the Guilty", and a round bubble membrane instantly grew out from the center of his body, just enough to hold Lan Tong inside.

Fortunately, the moment the shield was created, it brought in some air from nowhere, allowing Lan Tong to finally breathe again. He took the opportunity to cough out the water he had choked on.

"Tsk." Lu Li said in amazement: "It really exists. You are so lucky."

Lan Tong:?
"you……"

Now is not the time to curse.

There seemed to be only a tiny amount of air in the shield, and soon she began to have trouble breathing again.

Don't get angry. If you get angry, you will breathe more air, and the air in the shield will become even more useless.

Forget it.

Lan Tong first made note of this grudge and quickly checked the surrounding situation.

She didn't descend very fast, but because it took a long time, she was already about six or seven meters from the water surface.

The darkness in front of her eyes became more and more obvious, and the swimming pool entrance on the water surface looked like a light-transmitting window from her perspective.

The further you go down, the darker the view becomes.

Lan Tong steadied his breathing and used his talent. A light golden ring appeared on his ankle again.

The overflowing golden light became more and more obvious in the darkness, like a star on the fingertips.

She was gathering strength. In order to avoid being caught up by the tentacles, Lan Tong decided to accumulate strength and jump out at the fastest speed.

Less than a few seconds passed, and cracks slowly began to appear on the shield.

Lu Li urged, "Hurry up, the shield is about to break, you probably won't want to use it again."

"Shut up!"

"Snapped--"

With a crisp sound, the shield turned into countless sharp and bright fragments and scattered in the water.

The cold water instantly squeezed and sealed Lan Tong again. Lan Tong took this opportunity to burn double her mental strength. The moment the tentacles in the dark reached out to her, a dazzling golden light burst out from under her feet, as bright as the day, and her body rushed towards the sky with unstoppable force.

"Bam—"

A huge wave exploded in the swimming pool, and Lan Tong broke out of the water. Because he had accumulated too much strength, he was directly blown to the height of the second floor and almost hit the ceiling.

The moment she broke through the water, the familiar air passed through the sparse traces of water and she was finally able to breathe!
It was less than two minutes from the time he fell into the water to the time he emerged, but Lan Tong felt as if a long time had passed before he could breathe again. He felt the excitement of a long-lost relationship.

She gathered strength with her feet again, and before her body fell, she jumped directly from the splashing water to the platform on the second floor.

"careful!"

Dong Qiqi's voice came from below.

Lan Tong looked down, and since there was a huge void above the swimming pool, she could see everyone on the shore at a glance.

There was shock or surprise on those people's faces, and some of them had their mouths wide open as if they were about to shout something.

Turning his eyes downwards, Lan Tong's brain suddenly turned pale!
Finished!

The tentacles actually followed up!
