A dark and spooky dungeon.

Jiang Yingying huddled in the corner and shivered, covering her ears, but she still couldn't block out the piercing screams!

Two jailers carried the boy who had been chopped in half and walked bloody to Jiang Yingying's cell, then threw the half of his body at her feet.

"ah!"

The boy grabbed her ankle and vomited blood while shouting: "It hurts! It hurts!"

A quarter of an hour ago, this young man was chatting lively with Jiang Yingying.

"Odd changes to even and doesn't change?"

“Symbols Look at the Quadrants!”

"You are a time traveler too!"

Both of them traveled to different worlds, but they did not become the best among men by virtue of modern knowledge as written in the novel.

They are weirdos in this world! They are good medicine!

"Don't catch me! Don't!"

The two jailers will then drag Jiang Yingying away, and there is a high probability that she will receive the same treatment as the teenager.

"I beg...let...let me go..."

Jiang Yingying was dragged on the bloody road, her teeth could not stop chattering, and her body was completely paralyzed with fear.

After walking through the long corridor, she was handed over to the boys wearing robes.

Jiang Yingying knew that she was going to see Zhang Guzi, a Taoist priest again, and struggled to run away.

The Taoist boys forcibly clamped her hands and feet and carried her into the alchemy room.

Zhang Guzi's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yingying, "Oh my! A strange fetus! A rare and strange fetus!"

"Let...let me go, please..."

Jiang Yingying's face was covered with tears. She knew that asking for help was useless, but besides that, what else could she do?

There is still blood dripping from the rectangular cutting board on the west side of the alchemy room.

The fire in the alchemy furnace in the middle was raging. Don't think too much, there must be the lower body of the young man inside. Because of the moisture in the human body, it made a crackling sound.

Zhang Guzi picked up Jiang Yingying's hand and looked at it carefully, "The newly born hand can't be seen to have been cut off at all, and there are no traces of the connection. It's amazing! It's amazing!"

"Master, where did you cut her this time?" the Taoist boy asked.

Zhang Guzi walked around the alchemy furnace several times, thinking about how to deal with Jiang Yingying.

He really wanted to throw such a strange fetus into the alchemy furnace, but he was afraid that it would be a waste of natural resources.

"Then let's try using earth magic this time!"

Zhang Guzi pointed his finger at the dust whisk, and the top cover of the three- to four-meter-high cauldron to the east was ejected and fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The Taoist boys understood the situation and carried Jiang Yingying along the steps to the entrance of the tripod.

"don't want!"

"ah--"

She was thrown into the cauldron, but it was empty.

Then loess fell from the mouth of the tripod, and the amount of soil became larger and larger!

It turns out that earth magic requires burial alive!

Jiang Yingying's limbs were quickly buried in the loess, unable to move, and then buried up to her neck, mouth, nose, and eyes...

The air is getting thinner and thinner!

My chest was rising and falling violently!

She needs to breathe! She needs to live! Oxygen!

"ah!"

Jiang Yingying sat up from the bed all of a sudden, breathing heavily, and big beads of sweat dripped down her forehead.

"Yingying, what's wrong? Are you having a nightmare again?"

My boyfriend Li Jintao, who was sleeping on the same bed, also sat up and couldn't open his eyes.

He held Jiang Yingying in his arms and coaxed her affectionately, "Yingying, don't be afraid! Be good! It's all nightmares, and dreams are the opposite!"

"But...I dreamed of Zhang Guzi again, wearing a yellow Taoist robe with a white flytail in his hand. He could decide a person's life or death at will!"

Is this really just a nightmare?

This was not the first time Jiang Yingying dreamed about that cell and the alchemy room.

She was tortured inside every time.

The physical pain is really felt!

But every time she was about to die, she would wake up and realize that it was a dream!

Li Jintao wiped her sweat with the sleeves of her pajamas and brushed away her hair that was wet with sweat.

"What did baby Ying dream about this time? Did Zhang Guzi, the big bad guy, chop off my baby's hands or dig out his eyes?"

"This time it was actually better. No surgery was performed. He was buried alive."

Li Jintao touched Jiang Yingying's back, trying to comfort her, but found that her back was completely soaked.

"Yingying! Are you putting too much pressure on yourself? Just relax, it's nothing to take the postgraduate entrance examination for World War II."

Jiang Yingying failed the postgraduate entrance examination last year and is preparing for the exam full-time at home this year, which is indeed quite stressful.

Not only in terms of study, but also in terms of life and economic pressure.

"Well, maybe."

"My dear, it's okay, relax!" Li Jintao hugged Jiang Yingying and lay down.

Jiang Yingying, who was lying down, still had lingering fears.

Every time she went to a different world in her dream, she didn't know when she would wake up from the dream. She just thought it was a time travel.

Now it seems that she is slightly luckier than other time-travelers.

At least she can die in her dream and wake up back to the real world.

The boy who was cut in half, he...

"No!" Jiang Yingying thought of something, turned around and picked up the mobile phone beside her pillow.

Li Jintao watched her search for a missing person notice in a certain province.

"Yingying, what's wrong?" Li Jintao had to work the morning shift the next day. He woke up early in the morning and was very tired.

"Li Li, look!" Jiang Yingying enlarged a photo of a missing person notice.

"I have seen this man. In my dream, he also traveled to another world. It is true. He really exists! He told me that he ran away from home and later committed suicide before going to another world.

Of the world, he..."

Jiang Yingying spoke incoherently, and the more she spoke, the more she thought about it and became more and more frightened!

Since that boy really traveled from the real world to another world, how could Jiang Yingying dream about it?

Is it possible... that the otherworld in the dream also exists?

"Could it be that you have seen this missing person notice before, then subconsciously remembered it, and it appeared in your dream? It must be a coincidence!" Li Jintao tried to explain it scientifically.

"No, I've never seen it."

"Yingying, calm down first!" Li Jintao calmed her rapid breathing.

"Woo... I'm scared, I'm really scared!" Jiang Yingying covered her head with the quilt and couldn't stop crying.

"Yingying, listen to me, it was just a dream. When you wake up, stop thinking about it and just forget about it. Everything in the dream is all false..." Li Jintao coaxed softly.

When Jiang Yingying's crying subsided, Li Jintao simply stopped catching up on sleep, got up, dressed, prepared a soy milk sandwich, and placed it on the bedside.

"Yingying, let's eat something first. After that, you can sleep for a while."

Jiang Yingying pulled back the quilt and showed a guilty face, "I'm sorry, you didn't sleep well, and you had to rush to the early morning shift. You are too tired, I'm sorry!"

"No, what are you talking about? You're so polite to me, no need to apologize. If you really think I'm tired, just get up and finish the love breakfast!" Li Jintao smiled softly.

Jiang Yingying slowly sat up and ate her sandwich.

She and her boyfriend have known each other for more than ten years and are considered childhood sweethearts.

When Jiang Yingying was in high school, her parents died in an accident. Li Jintao persuaded her parents to take her to live in his home and take care of her like a big brother.

The two went to the same university, so it was natural for them to get together.

After graduating from college, Li Jintao chose to find direct employment as a male nurse in a large hospital. However, Jiang Yingying wanted to take a chance and continue her education, but the literature major was too complicated and she did not get there.

Now the two of them live together, and their living expenses depend entirely on Li Jintao's salary as a male nurse. He also supports Jiang Yingying in World War II.

"Li Li, why are you so nice to me!" Jiang Yingying choked up.

"You are my wife! If I am not good to you, I will be good to no one."

Li Jintao looked at the time. It was time to go out and catch the subway. "Yingying, be good at home. Stop thinking nonsense. Drink the soy milk while it's hot. I'm going to work!"

Jiang Yingying nodded and watched Li Jintao leave.

The room suddenly became quiet. Jiang Yingying drank soy milk and picked up her phone again. The page still stayed on the photo of the boy...
