This actor is full of tricks.

"elder brother!"

"Wake up!"

Just as the blade was about to sever his wrist, the sound of something falling to the floor came from the living room. A dark figure rushed from the living room into the kitchen and grabbed Lin Jue's hand holding the knife: "This is just a nightmare. Don't get too caught up in it! If you really get caught up in it, there will be no way to wake up!"

Lin Jue looked at the hand that was holding him, and his heart, which had been as still as water, was stirred once again.

Anyone would be scared if someone suddenly appeared in their house, but Lin Jue didn't feel that way. He just turned his head blankly and looked at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

His eyebrows and eyes were about 70-80% similar to his, but he looked more youthful. His skin was an unnatural pale white, and his body was covered in bloody holes, from which blood was still seeping out continuously.

This terrifying appearance did not frighten Lin Jue in the slightest. A name quickly flashed through his mind, and he almost blurted it out: "Yan Jun?"

Yan Jun?

Who is Yan Jun?

My brother? But I don't have a brother!

This is a "person" who shouldn't be here. With Yan Jun's sudden appearance, the black and white world begins to shake and shatter, and some memories begin to squeeze into Lin Jue's brain little by little.

……

“Girl, you go back to your Buming Village, and I’ll go back to my Yangtao Street. This kid is in such a state now, let’s just go our separate ways.”

"And that chef, you should leave too."

Inside a room constructed entirely of flesh and blood, an old man slumped on the floor. Not far in front of him was a giant cocoon woven from black blood vessels, which was still pulsating slightly, as if someone was trapped inside, breathing heavily, causing the cocoon to rise and fall.

The chef cowered in the corner, too afraid to move.

The mirror-like ghost frantically tore at the blood vessels, but her strength was limited. The black blood vessels were like steel cast in front of her, completely unmoved.

"Don't waste your energy, I can't destroy these blood vessels even with my powers." The shopkeeper said, looking around. "Didn't a little brat just barge in? Where did he go? Did he go out through the other door?"

The mirror-like ghost ignored him, continuing to tear at her blood vessels. The next moment, her pupils trembled, and she abruptly retreated.

The black blood vessels began to throb violently, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply. Faint flames lit up in the gaps between the interwoven blood vessels. The flames grew brighter and brighter until they eventually enveloped the entire giant cocoon. The black blood vessels that even the shopkeeper couldn't handle were now melting away like snow meeting the scorching sun, turning into puddles of foul-smelling black water.

"That kid's awake?" The shopkeeper suddenly stood up, his eyes reflecting the bright firelight, in which a figure gradually emerged.

As the firelight faded, the figure gradually revealed its true form.

"Hoo." Lin Jue exhaled a breath of stale air, looking at the bloody room in front of him, and the memory of pushing open the door came flooding back at this moment.

As he pushed open the door, a large number of black blood vessels rushed towards him, almost instantly enveloping him. In that instant, he lost all resistance, his whole body was powerless, and even the flames were difficult to activate. In the last moment before his consciousness sank, he summoned the old man and the mirror ghost.

Then he experienced those events as Yan Hui, not knowing whether they were Yan Hui's real experiences or a nightmare constructed based on Yan Hui.

If it's a true story, then it's worth pondering, because many characters from the character database appear, which means Yan Hui connected these characters. Moreover, Lin Jue feels it's very likely a true story, because many things are closely related to reality. He remembers when he first investigated Liao Fan's experiences, he heard a security guard say that when Liao Fan's father was beating Liao Fan at the entrance of the residential area, passersby helped to stop Liao Fan's father.

Now it seems that the passersby were Yan Hui and Zhou Yue.

There's also the colorful girl living next door to Yan Hui, who was killed by Fu Yu with a wrench after Fu Yu broke into her room on a stormy night. This corresponds to something that happened in real life.

In other words, Lin Jue experienced Yan Hui's last month, which was also the period of his most desperate times. The inevitable outcome would have been that Yan Hui would commit suicide by cutting his wrists, but Lin Jue was stopped from doing so by the sudden appearance of Yan Jun, thus avoiding Yan Hui's fate.

He didn't know what would happen if he actually cut his wrists, but there was no doubt that nothing good would happen.

Lin Jue was stunned when he thought of Yan Jun. In that experience, Yan Jun was inexplicably erased, and that "world" must have collapsed completely because a person who did not belong there suddenly appeared.

Judging from this, Yan Jun is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface. His nominal younger brother must possess some kind of peculiar ability that he himself is unaware of, and this ability must be very strong.

Because those black blood vessels were left by the previous owner, and the previous owner was able to contend with the head of the mental hospital, his strength was beyond doubt. Even Lin Jue was caught off guard and fell into endless despair.

The predecessor essentially created an inner world; opening this door might lead one into that world. However, Yan Jun perfectly ignored the abilities left behind by the predecessor and even caused the inner world where Lin Jue was located to completely collapse.

"Appearances can be deceiving. It seems we'll have to stuff Yan Jun inside the raincoat. I'm his older brother, so it's perfectly normal for me to have a younger brother with me."

Thinking this, Lin Jue's eyes searched the room. He saw the old man with a disappointed look, the mirror ghost with excited eyes, and the chef ghost hiding in the corner trembling, but he didn't see Yan Jun.

Wait a minute, where did that kid go?
"Where's Yan Jun?" Lin Jue asked the shopkeeper.

"You mean that brat who calls you brother?" The old man sighed inexplicably. "I just saw him barge in, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

They disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Did they stay in that world?
That's impossible. The world had clearly collapsed, and I had already woken up. There's no reason for the other party to still be there.

Where did the other person go?
"Yan Jun?" Lin Jue called out tentatively.

“Brother…” A faint, almost inaudible voice rang out. Lin Jue searched for the source of the voice and finally saw Yan Jun’s faintly visible ghost face on the raincoat that had fallen to the ground.

The other person looked exhausted, their features like bubbles, as if they would vanish at any moment.

How did this guy end up inside the raincoat?
Lin Jue was taken aback, walked over, picked up the raincoat and shook it: "What are you doing in here, kid?"

"Brother, stop shaking me, I'm about to throw up." Yan Jun's face was contorted in a grimace, his voice weak: "I feel something watching me. It's safe in here, I came in to hide..."

He struggled to open his eyes and saw a completely unfamiliar face. He was stunned: "You're not my brother? No, you are my brother. Who are you? Did I come to the wrong place?"

Is something targeting Yan Jun?

Lin Jue ignored the other person's question and was about to ask who was targeting Yan Jun, but the other person remained silent. If it weren't for the grimaces still visible on the raincoat, Lin Jue would have suspected the other person was dead.
