183 For the Sweet Dreams 2in1

Gu Jun studied the familiar faces that had suddenly appeared around him. His eyes landed on this one and that other one, they were all smiling back at him.

“So this is the dream world?” The one who spoke was Xue Ba and it was followed by an uncouth curse by Lou Xiaoning, “We have finally gotten into this godforsaken place!” Uncle Dan followed up in concern. “Ah Jun, what’s wrong with your finger?” There were also members from the Demon Hunters, marksmen like Yang Henan and Zhang Huohuo. In fact, even Lin Mo who had retired from the frontline was there on the support of his artificial limb. The Arctic Wolf were there as well. Other than the Special Mobile Force, there were also people dressed in doctor’s robes. Most of them came from Eastern State’s Medical Department. After their narrow escape from this place, they had now returned voluntarily. “Ah Jun, we’re here to help.””It might not be much but we’ll offer any aid we can.” They poured their support towards Gu Jun.

“So this is the damn place which took everything from me…” Even Brother Qiang was here. He was supposed to be dreaming but his expression looked more alive than when he was awake. Wang Ruoxiang rolled back her sleeves and added with a smile, “Gu Jun, you have shocked me out of my bed last time, you really think there won’t be any consequences for that?”

Hearing this, Cai Zixuan sighed with the accompaniment of a poem, “Ever since our parting, I’ve thought of seeing you once more, How I’ve been dreaming of having your company.”

“Ah Jun.” Even Prof Gu was here. The old teacher studied his student whom he had not met for a long time and the many things that he wanted to say was compressed into a single statement, “You’ve grown aplenty.”

“Hmm…” Gu Jun regarded them and his eyes were turning red. Wu Siyu sighed. “Looks like I finally have the chance to rest.”

“Prof Gu is someone very important to you.” Prof Shen explained, “Your bond with him is incredibly helpful to help bring us here.” Gu Jun nodded, he noticed that not everyone that he knew was there, for example, he did not see the sign of Lee Yuerui and Wu Dong but Sister Liang who was responsible for his S value assessment was there. This led Gu Jun to the conclusion that the people who came had been filtered by Phecda; they had passed the test of consciousness and mental power. After the short reunion, the group turned towards the imposing old manor. They were both shocked and confused by the phenomenon that was only possible in the dream world.

“We haven’t been too late, have we?” Elder Tong asked. He frowned alarmingly when he saw the familiar faces of the dead Phoenix members gathered among the shadows behind the second floor window…

“Hmm.” Wu Siyu looked at the ghastly faces of the people around them and her heart pounded with difficulty. ‘So it is still not enough?’

“Don’t worry, it is already more than enough.” Gu Jun suddenly mumbled. “We have managed to cause a wound, and with that opening, we will get our chance. After all, even a microscopic bacteria can claim a giant’s life. This is because bacteria knows how to fester and slowly consume the rest of its host. Dirty-minded Yu, listen to me…” He turned to look at Wu Siyu and said, “They are here in a lucid dream so they will return should they wake up, but it will be different for you. In a bit, I will try to use the spell that helped us enter the dream world to tear open a dimensional crack. If I succeeded, you need to try to follow them to return to the real world!”

“But what about you…” Wu Siyu frowned but did not continue because the answer already came to her.

“The crack might open for only a few seconds.” Gu Jun continued, “So do not hesitate, do not turn back, someone needs to leave with the result that we’ve achieved.” At the same time, Elder Tong and the rest heard the ominous portent in Gu Jun’s words. Their hearts sunk but at that moment, they had trouble even speaking, everything was swaying and blurring out of focus.

The storm was spine-chilling but Gu Jun’s eyes burned like the sun. He moved forward and all the Carlot Doctors trailed behind him as they headed towards the house of monstrosity. On the day he chose to return to Eastern State, he had already made a decision. Actually, he still had one more spell in his arsenal… but would that be enough?

Regardless, Gu Jun and all the Carlot Doctors stood their ground and chanted out this spell in foreign language as loud as they could, “הבשרשלךהואארוחהטובהשלנו,השםשלךיהיהשייךלנו,אניאדונך!”

Thy shell is my meal, thy soul and thy name are blessed by my words, I am thy creator!

Their chanting was louder than the thunder and gale, it drowned out the grunts of shock and anger of the monster. From that opening, a nightmarish energy like a billow of black smoke rushed towards Gu Jun, it carried with it the dead carcasses, the children, and the dead souls… and all of their shrieking and wailing.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

This was the spell… used by the people from Afterlife Cult at the shrine of Riker City, it was a spell of consumption. Gu Jun’s face turned purple and green. His skin cracked pieces by pieces as blood pounded all over his body. Landon, Raybundy, Orlem… all the Carlot Doctors were going through the same thing. However, their chanting did not stop, if anything, every syllable had heightened in power, they were hellbent on draining and consuming every bit of this nightmare. Gu Jun could no longer differentiate whether it was the Son of Steel or the Son of Misfortune’s presence channelling his power, the sole purpose in his mind was to swallow, to consume everything.

‘Adieu, Miss Tamarine, take our result with you and return.’ Gu Jun’s lips curled into a smile. ‘Tamarine’ also meant hope in the foreign vernacular.

“Don’t do this!” Cai Zixuan and Wang Ruoxiang shouted. Elder Tong cursed. “I knew you would have to be a hero…” But the next moment they were gone. All the familiar faces had been drawn out of the dream.

The giant monster staggered before it disintegrated and collapsed in wails of shock and disbelief. The millions of rooms shattered and endless glows of trapped souls escaped. After they had been trapped for so long, they flew right into the sky, it was like a majestic show of shooting stars, painting the black canvas of the night sky with their mesmerizing colors. The sound of illness retreated into silence, and it was replaced by a joyous cheer. It was the sound of release, the sound of freedom.

“Now, that should be enough…” Gu Jun grinned. As his consciousness wavered, he saw that the corruption rate in his mind had reached 49 percent. He collapsed onto the decaying ground. He turned to look up at the spectacle in the sky and his heavy eyelids closed unwillingly. With the last bit of his strength, he raised the scalpel to his throat. The nightmare had been contained inside his body and now it would dissipate along with his life.

So that all sweet dreams could return.

So that everyone would have a sound sleep again.
