Chapter 357 Facing Death
Chapter 357 Facing Death
"Um...what's going on...?"
Qiong woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes she saw herself lying in the dream pool.
"Hmm? Did I exit the dream?"
Qiong looked around and confirmed that this was the hotel room. He scratched his head in confusion.
I just... seemed to have poked a goldfish, and the goldfish burst like a bubble and then I lost consciousness.
"How strange..."
Just as Qiong was about to stand up, he felt something pressing on his shoulder.
Turning around, I saw that Firefly was also in the Dream Pool.
"Liuying, wake up."
Qiong quickly shook Liuying's shoulder.
"What's wrong with me?"
The firefly opened its eyes after being shaken a few times, and then looked around vigilantly.
"I don't know either. I remember we were at the Odi Shopping Center before."
"Yeah, I remember that... Later I saw you fainted and was about to help you up, but I seemed to... lose consciousness too."
Liuying frowned slightly and thought carefully about the previous situation.
"By the way, where's Xing?"
"I don't know. There are only two of us here."
Qiong shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Liuying stood up and walked out of the Dream Pool, then carefully observed the room here.
"This place gives me a very strange feeling...Qiong, have you ever stayed in a hotel? Is the room in the Daydream Hotel like this?"
"The decoration of the room is exactly the same, but why is it so dark in here? Who turned off the light?"
Qiong scratched his head and asked.
"I'm a little suspicious. This might not be the Daydream Hotel... Because I didn't enter the Golden Moment through the Dream Pool, so I can't wake up here... Anyway, let's take a look around first, come on."
Liuying reached out her hand to Qiong, who was still sitting in the Dream Pool in confusion.
Qiong held Liuying's hand and was pulled up by her and walked out of the Dream Pool.
"We were with Xing and Miss Hanabi at the time. Now that we are here, they should be here too."
"Well, let's look for it first."
Qiong nodded, then opened the door and walked ahead.
The corridor was as dim as the room, and Qiong remembered that there were other companions' rooms around it.
I walked closer and knocked, but there was no response.
Qiong had a bad feeling in his heart. To be honest, the two times he encountered this kind of situation before, nothing good happened.
Whether it was the time when he had a nightmare because of the remembrancer's manipulation at the Goethe Hotel or the time in the closed compartment of the Black Tower Space Station.
But fortunately, Liuying is with me this time, so it’s not too bad.
On the way, Qiong also told Liuying about two similar things that happened before.
"So...I'm worried that there might be another mastermind behind this."
"I didn't expect you guys to have encountered something like this before..."
Liuying was also listening very carefully. She was shocked when she heard that Ruan Mei was actually researching breeding and letting the two of them face the clones of the breeding order. After all, that was not a good thing.
"But fortunately, I was smart and brave, and I solved it easily."
Qiong nodded.
“It’s really reliable.”
Liuying smiled when she heard that, and the dark atmosphere around them was dispelled a lot as the two chatted.
On the way, the two discovered that the hotel here was even upside down, and there were many monsters such as the Dream Theater along the way.
"Why are there still monsters? Is this considered a nightmare?"
Qiong took out a baseball bat and quickly dealt with the monsters, then asked Liuying.
"Perhaps... this is related to the secret hidden by the family. Remember the watchmaker's legacy and the puzzle on the invitation letter that I told you about before?"
Liuying thought for a moment and then said.
"Why does life sleep? Isn't it time to sleep when you are tired?"
Qiong felt that the person who figured out this puzzle might suffer from insomnia every day, and he couldn't help scratching his head.

"Well... But anyway, since the puzzle mentions sleeping, it just corresponds to Pinocchio's dream, so I think the answer should be hidden in the dream... Or..."
"Do you know that sleep is divided into light sleep and deep sleep? I feel that we may have accidentally entered a dream corresponding to a deeper level."
"So this is most likely a deep dream? But how was it triggered? We were clearly on the street before."
Qiong thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the connection.
"This is indeed a problem that needs to be solved. Maybe Xing will know the answer. The most urgent thing for us is to reunite as soon as possible."
"Ah."
The two continued forward until they pushed open the door and entered a room with doors on all four sides and display screens stacked in the corners.
“Why are there so many display screens?”
Qiong walked forward and took a look, but didn't see anything interesting on the display screens.
"The doors here...the corridors leading out are all the same."
While Qiong was looking around, Liuying also opened the other three doors, and they were all long corridors with a door at the end.
"Oh no... Why does this feel more and more familiar? Is a rememberer going to appear soon?"
When Qiong heard this, he frowned.
"Remember? In a place like this? No way... But don't worry, I will protect you if there is any danger."
Liuying thought it was unlikely, but still said it to Qiong.
"What are you talking about! I'm so strong! I must be the one protecting you!"
"Okay, okay, then you protect me."
Seeing Qiong's strong look, Liuying smiled.
"But maybe you're overthinking it. The family has promised that it's absolutely safe in the dream world. Let's move on."
Liuying told Qiong not to think too much. Since all four doors looked exactly the same, she ignored the door they came from and pointed to a large door at random.
After walking through the corridor, Qiong pushed open the door, and what he saw was a room exactly the same as the one he had just seen.
The same monitor, the same three walls each with a door.
Liuying looked back and saw that the two people had clearly not closed the door when they came in, but the door closed automatically.
"Hmm... This reminds me of the feeling of being in someone's misty illusion in the Immortal Boat."
Qiong had a frown on his forehead, and he was certain that there would be enemies soon.
And judging from their behavior in the previous few times, they are not just ordinary enemies.
"We seem to be going in circles. Let's go one more time and see."
Seeing this, Liuying said to Qiong, trying to verify her guess.
Qiong nodded, and the two of them walked the same path over and over again. No matter which path they took, they ended up back where they started.
"How do I get out... I've been walking around for several times."
Qiong became impatient and picked up a baseball bat and smashed it at a display screen.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't smash.
As soon as it was hit, the originally silent display screens suddenly lit up with snowy screens.
Then, a purple-red eye suddenly appeared on the display screen that was hit by Qiong, and then as if spreading, the same pattern began to appear on the surrounding display screens.
"It seems like something is coming!"
Qiong quickly took a few steps back and stood beside Liuying, while Liuying also held the transformation device in her hand, ready to transform into Sam at any time.
The space on the ceiling trembled, and both of them couldn't help but raise their heads.
I saw a huge monster covered with eyes emerging from the void, with countless eyes floating around it, forming the shape of a blade.
"Sure enough! I knew it!"
Qiong cursed inwardly. This was a monster he had never seen before. Qiong could feel that it was completely on a different level from the ones he had encountered before.
There was a flicker of fire beside him, and Firefly instantly turned into Sam.
"Together we will."
"it is good!"
Qiong nodded. At this moment, he had no time to admire Liuying's armor. He rushed forward with a baseball bat in hand.
Sparks flew between the baseball bat and the monster's blade. Qiong felt that this guy was very slippery and could easily escape into the void and then attack unexpectedly.
The monster slashed at Qiong with a knife. Qiong was about to block it, but saw that the blade disappeared in front of him, and the next second it stabbed out from the void on the other side.
"Watch your back!"
Liuying quickly reminded, and then kicked the blade back into the void with a flaming kick.
Then, the entire body of the monster disappeared into the void again.
Qiong and Liuying stood back to back, alert.
In the room, black fog that came from nowhere gradually became thicker.
"This monster... For it, dreams are its home turf. It would be disadvantageous for us to fight here."
Liuying said in a low voice.
"But we can't escape this dream, so we can only fight like this... Liuying, didn't you just say that the family guarantees that the dream is absolutely safe? But I see that monster wants to kill us with every knife."
Qiong couldn't help but complain.
"This... I don't know either. I can only say that the family is probably hiding something."
Liuying replied somewhat embarrassedly.
"coming!"
Liuying suddenly felt a murderous intent and was about to fire the cannon at the source of the murderous intent.
But the next second, Liuying found that she had made a wrong judgment. The source of the murderous intent was just an eye.
Just when he was accumulating energy, the monster appeared on the other side, and the blades with countless eyes gathered together were about to chop down on the two of them.
There was no time for me to react right now, so I could only rely on Qiong.
Qiong was also influenced by Liuying and made a misjudgment. He had to resist this fierce attack in a hurry.
A magic circle suddenly formed under the feet of the two people, and then several large hands emerged from the shadow space, grabbed the monster directly, and then smashed it hard against the wall beside them.
With a roar, the monster disappeared again.
"This is..."
Qiong was stunned. This sudden attack helped him and Liuying a lot.
A light voice sounded at the side, and the two looked over, only to see a woman in a purple gauze dress sitting with her legs crossed, looking at the two of them on TV. A divination ball and a circle of tarot cards were floating in front of her.
"An unknown guest, and... a star core hunter. He is quite skilled - but if he does not master the correct power, he will not be able to escape from the shadow of death."
