The scene jolted violently, and the paper airplane swirled in the wind, illuminating the entire collapsing dream.

"Lin Che!"

"return!"

Outside the clock tower, a new beam of light suddenly erupted, shooting straight into the sky—

"Su Ting...can we...still fly kites together...?"

The voice echoed at the end of the dream, tinged with a sob.

"Su Ting, did you hear that?" Lin Yin asked softly, standing on the edge of the dream, still holding the paper airplane in her hand.

"I heard it," Su Ting murmured.

Chapter 1185 Then let's not hesitate any longer.

The girl turned to look at him, her expression gentle yet firm: "Then don't hesitate any longer. Your dreams will tell you the answer."

As Su Ting gazed at the fragmented memories, a complex mix of emotions welled up within him. He knew this wasn't Lin Che's complete consciousness, yet a lingering obsession still held traces of the past.

The wind howled, as if it were a sigh of memories.

Lin Yin suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, her tone serious: "You have to make a decision, Su Ting. Do you want to wake him up, or... leave now?"

Su Ting pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "I want to bring him back."

The shadowy figure stood in the center of the shattered dream, coldly watching him, its voice full of mockery: "Come back? Come back to where? Back to that betrayed world? Or come back to be your pawn?"

"You shouldn't have said that about him," Lin Yin said angrily, her voice rising, "You're not him! You're not Lin Che!"

"I am him." The shadowy figure approached step by step, his gaze unfathomable. "He abandoned me. He shattered my memories and threw me into the abyss of nightmares. Tell me, what right does he have to come back to me?"

Su Ting's eyes widened in shock.

He knew that this was a nightmare manipulating Lin Che's lingering memories, but he also understood that these words contained Lin Che's true pain.

“You’re right,” Su Ting finally spoke, his voice steady. “I’m not here to beg for your forgiveness. I’m here to retrieve my brother’s memories.”

"You want to fight?" The shadowy figure laughed, black mist gathering around him. "Then come on."

Su Ting gripped the Dream Sword tightly, took a step, and his figure suddenly rushed out.

The shadowy figure instantly transformed into a blur as it charged forward, its fist tearing through the air of the dream world before crashing into the sword blade with a deafening roar.

bang——

The dream trembled, and space shattered once more. Lin Yin was thrown back by the shockwave and fell to the ground, her face pale.

She shouted, "Su Ting, be careful of his memory illusions! He can interfere with your judgment!"

"I understand!" Su Ting defended and dodged, silently recalling the past, the days when the two of them flew kites and folded paper airplanes together, to keep himself clear-headed.

He cannot be dragged into darkness.

Lin Che's shadow swung its fist, bringing with it a dark aura that tore apart the soul.

Su Ting dodged to the side, flicking his sword to cut a wound on the shadowy figure's shoulder, from which black mist gushed out.

"Lin Che, are you still there?" he shouted.

“Heh…” The dark figure staggered back, but sneered, “I died long ago… the day you left.”

Lin Yin suddenly got up from the ground and shouted at the dark figure, "You're lying! Lin Che never believes in giving up, and he never hates anyone! You're just an illusion created by a nightmare; you don't understand his heart at all!"

She suddenly threw the paper airplane she was holding away—

The paper airplane spun as it flew toward the shadowy figure, leaving a trail of silver light in the air.

The shadowy figure's pupils contracted, and he instinctively swung his fist at the paper airplane, but at that moment, a struggle flashed across his face.

In that instant, the paper airplane slipped through his fingers and struck him in the chest.

With a sudden jolt, a familiar radiance burst forth from his chest.

The dark figure let out a low growl, then collapsed to its knees in agony, its form swaying unsteadily.

"Lin Che!" Su Ting seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and grabbed him.

"Go quickly..." the shadowy figure whispered, his voice hoarse and weary, "The nightmare will devour you... I can't hold on much longer..."

Chapter 1186 Can We Save You?

Lin Yin rushed over and asked anxiously, "Can we save you? Can you come back?"

The shadowy figure gave a bitter smile: "My memories have been torn apart, I'm not sure... but I still have a letter... in the tree hollow."

"What letter?" Lin Yin was stunned.

The shadowy figure gazed intently at Su Ting and slowly said, "Written for you, written for me..."

Before he finished speaking, his figure began to shatter, like a withered leaf in the wind, dissipating into the dream.

Su Ting reached out to grab it, but only grasped emptiness.

Lin Yin was also stunned, her eyes reddening.

The dream began to collapse, and darkness swept in like a tidal wave.

Lin Yin suddenly grabbed Su Ting's hand: "We have to go, the nightmare is about to completely devour this remaining consciousness!"

Su Ting turned around, his gaze still fixed on the spot where Lin Che had just disappeared.

He whispered, "Lin Che, I promised you I would remember you for the rest of my life. This letter... I will definitely find it."

As the dream collapsed, a burst of intense light suddenly exploded, enveloping them.

The next moment, they appeared beneath the clock tower.

In the distance, the Tower of Dreams still swayed among the clouds, while behind them, a small tree hole stood quietly open, as if waiting for someone to open it.

Lin Yin stared at the tree hollow, her voice trembling: "That letter...does it really exist?"

Su Ting nodded slightly, her eyes filled with determination: "Lin Che didn't lie to me. He's waiting for me."

Lin Yin looked at him, bit her lip, and asked, "Are you going to go find it? No matter the cost?"

Su Ting turned his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips, as if he had returned to that afternoon when he was a child—they lay together on the hillside watching the clouds, paper airplanes drawing long arcs in the air.

“Of course,” he said. “Lin Che said we’d always be together.”

Tears welled up in Lin Yin's eyes, but she smiled brightly: "Then you have to promise me one thing."

"Go ahead."

"Take me with you," she said softly. "Let's go together."

A gentle breeze stirred, and the leaves rustled softly.

Lin Che's voice came from afar—

"If you can find that letter... take me to see the house on the mountaintop."

Lin Yin was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Lin Che, you're still here?"

The voice was broken and intermittent, as if it came from a great distance: "I won't... I won't leave... Once you find the letter, I'll come back... little by little, back into your dreams."

Su Ting's eyes were firm: "Then let's go."

He walked briskly toward the tree hole, his steps steady.

Lin Yin followed and asked softly, "Are you sure you want to go in? Nightmare might be waiting for us there."

“I know.” Su Ting turned to look at her. “But this is not a nightmare’s trap. This is the exit that Lin Che left for us.”

The entrance to the tree hollow was dark and deep, like a forgotten secret.

“Then I’ll go in with you.” Lin Yin said without hesitation. “This time, I will never leave you alone in my dreams again.”

Her tone was soft, yet carried an undeniable determination.

Su Ting looked at her, and something in his heart was gently touched.

“You’ve changed,” he said softly.

“You too.” She smiled. “We’re not who we used to be. But that’s precisely why we need to find Lin Che.”

He nodded: "Then let's go."

The two entered the tree hollow one after the other.

The light was instantly swallowed by darkness.

The sound of wind rustling through pages reached my ears, like the soft rustling of countless memories being turned over.

They were in a narrow corridor with walls covered in faded photographs.

Chapter 1187 You Shouldn't Have Come Back

Each photo shows the three of them as children.

Su Ting paused and said softly, "These are the days we spent together... I've almost forgotten them myself."
