I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 682, Sections 2.5-22: The House of Silk and the Dollhouse (Dream)

The dim lighting and the various broken and pitiful dolls lying on the ground, as if they had suffered inhuman treatment, covered by dust like a thin mist representing time, made them somewhat indistinct.

A girl in a long black dress stood in the dimly lit doll room. Her exquisite and beautiful face was calm and undisturbed, without a trace of emotion. Her cold silver eyes quietly watched the dolls with broken limbs around her, and her eyes were as calm and serene as a deep ancient pool.

The silence was tinged with a hint of eeriness. Only the mutilated dolls remained, their wide eyes staring unanimously at the girl in the center of the dollhouse, their gazes revealing a hint of covetousness, or perhaps anticipation of something.

Suddenly, she took a cell phone out of her pocket and opened it.

Crown Princess [Ying] Fernana has left the group chat.

Mu Yegui looked at the messages in the group chat, seemingly unsurprised. Fernana's death was inevitable; whether considering her personality, behavior, or her very being, she was heading towards her own destruction. The key question was what would happen after her death.

Just as Mu Yegui didn't understand Tang Xiuna's feelings for Fernana, she also didn't know what Fernana's death meant to Tang Xiuna, or what kind of resistance he would mount. But one thing she was clear about was that from now on, Tang Xiuna would no longer be an enemy.

"How long are you going to keep observing me?" Mu Yegui put his phone back, slowly turned around and looked at the stairwell, and said.

Miss Lily looked coldly at Mu Yegui and said, "You, who have trespassed into a forbidden place and disobeyed my request, have no right to speak to me like this."

"It wouldn't be considered disobedience. It's still in my hands, and I haven't given it to anyone," Mu Yegui shook his head and seriously denied.

“Then leave it to me!” Miss Lily excitedly took a few steps forward, but then stopped abruptly, remembering something.

"I'm afraid that's not possible for now. After all, unexpected things can happen in reality, and things can't always go as planned," Mu Yegui said softly.

"Then, I'll eliminate you! You rule-breaker! If you don't hand it over to me now, I'll use the rules to eliminate you! You violated the mission, you disobeyed my request, and you must be punished!" Miss Lily stared intently at Mu Yegui, but did not walk towards her.

Mu Ye lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "This is impossible, Miss Lily. Because... I am a crown prince who is ignored by the rules..."

Crown Prince Title: Nightmare

Owner: Mu Yegui

王储道具：【‘22’魇书】、【‘11’恶魔的金币】【‘3’星辰】【‘12’伊甸园的奇迹】【‘0’印】

Privilege 1: Deceptiveness increased by 100%.

Privilege Two: The Crown Prince, disregarded by the rules, is not bound or punished by any rules.

Privilege Three: Nightmare, allows you to freely enter other people's dreams and tamper with memories and even rules (limited to dreams, illusions, and all other false environments).

Review: [Dream Shadow] The term "nightmare" originally referred to a demon in sleep, but it gradually evolved to mean a creature existing only in the imagination that creates false illusions. Its existence obscures reality, causing its owner to fall into a deep slumber from which they cannot awaken. However, every dream has an end; like a mirage, the illusory dream will eventually vanish into nothingness…

That being said, I admire you. Honey, are you really not considering becoming my spokesperson?

Mu Yegui took a few steps forward, one hand holding the hair clip on the back of her head, and the other hand slightly lifting a black book into her hand. The pages of the book turned automatically without wind, and only stopped when they reached a completely blank page.

Miss Lily's mind went blank. She felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her, her eyelids felt heavy, and she wanted to go to sleep.

In a daze, she saw a black skirt walk up to her, and the last thing she heard was, "Let me see the secrets hidden in this instance."

[22] Nightmare Book

Rank: Crown Prince

Introduction: The moment you sign the contract, your life becomes one with the book, sharing its life and death.

Passive: All items are nullified; save data is arbitrary (unrestricted).

Active: Connected to the instance world, allowing you to create or modify instances at will.

Cooling time: none
Evaluation: The difference between dreams and illusions is probably just the difference between dreaming at night and dreaming during the day, so which one would you choose?
Owner: Nightmare-
The girl caught Miss Lily's fallen body, and the ground beneath their feet began to change, gradually spreading outward from the two of them. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding furnishings were completely transformed.

Her demeanor was composed and elegant, but the hint of murderous intent that had flickered in her cold, silver vertical pupils vanished in an instant, leaving only a nonchalant smile, like an arrogant king surveying his territory, fully aware of all the schemes. "Goodnight, Miss Lily."

At the same time, that familiar voice appeared in everyone's minds once again.

Welcome to the 'House of Silk and Dolls (Dreamland)'! I'm your good friend, Filu.

[Task 1: Uncover the truth behind the doll's life.]

[Mission Two: Kill the source of evil.]

[Mission Three: Rescue the Puppeteer.]

[Task 4: Kill the Spider Queen.]

[Task Five: Awaken the 'Nightmare's' Consciousness.]

[Task Six: Find the door.]

[Dungeon Level: #￥@%#￥%]

[Now, let's announce the rules of the game.]

[I. You now exist within the dream realm imposed by the '22' Nightmare Book and the Crown Prince's Nightmare. Reality and illusion, friend and foe—you can only trust your own judgment.]

[II. This instance will be completely isolated from the outside world until its completion; no one may enter or leave.]

[III. Time and space are completely chaotic in this instance; be careful not to be sucked into the black hole.]

[Fourth, she is not a 'nightmare'.]

Fifth, cycles, repetitions, and reincarnations exist at all times.

6. Ah~ Afternoon tea is so delicious~

[Synopsis: A nightmare plunged Miss Lily into a deep sleep, reading her memories, modifying them, and overwriting the entire instance. The Crown Prince's items and powers altered and replaced the rules and quests of this instance, and in return, she awakened something that shouldn't be awake at this moment. Please don't disturb His Majesty's vacation, or no one... can save you~]

Fei turned his head and found himself in an unfamiliar environment. All the walls of the rooms had disappeared, leaving only the floors, furniture, and stairs connecting the floors. Everything was upside down and chaotic. The background was a mysterious and dazzling starry sky, with no end in sight.

Under the night sky, the bright lights illuminated the steps, seemingly guiding everyone in the right direction.

"fly!"

Fei turned his head and saw a person standing above him. They weren't floating in the air, but rather it was as if gravity was reversed. For them, the place where they were standing was the real ground, and the other person was the one upside down.

Standing not far away, Ling Tong observed his surroundings before slowly landing on the door behind him. He said slowly, "This place has completely turned into a maze. Let's reunite first. If I'm not mistaken, the dream world is connected to the original instance, and we can enter any timeline through the door."

Mu Yegui really gave them a big gift when he was worrying about how to get back from that point in time.

The important part of this dungeon is about to begin.

Guess how many props Mu Yegui used at once.

This chapter actually contains a lot of information; it just depends on whether you can read it all.
