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

Chapter 750, Section 2.8, Chapter 1: The Silver Court

The pitch-black, endless space seemed to have no end, filled with nothingness and loneliness.

The water's surface was like a mirror, reflecting the countless stars in the sky. A huge, silvery full moon slowly rose from the water's surface, hanging high in the sky, surrounded by stars that made it the only bright spot in the darkness.

Under the cold moon stood a girl in a long black dress, her long, misty gray hair cascading down her back, the strands shimmering with a soft silver light in the moonlight.

The reflection beneath him was both clear and unattainable, both real and like a dream.

Her thick, curled, butterfly-wing-like gray eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her cool, silver vertical pupils.

'boom'

Mu Yin covered his forehead, which had hit the table, with both hands. Behind his transparent glasses, his dark gold eyes blinked slightly, as if he were somewhat confused.

"what?"

He looked up and around. It was still class time, and the students were attentively listening and taking notes. Mu Yin frowned, tilted his head, and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't recall the dream he had just had.

"Strange... what I just..."

"Mu Yin! Sleeping in class again! Get out of here!!" The teacher was so angry that she snapped the piece of chalk in her hand and threw it hard at Mu Yin.

Mu Yin casually dodged the chalk attack, and while walking out of the classroom, he apologized without any remorse, "I'm sorry, teacher."

The sun shines brightly, and the lush greenery surrounding the campus adds a touch of vitality. The fountain in the courtyard glistens in the sunlight, playing a quiet yet melodious tune in the peaceful campus.

Mu Yin stood in the classroom corridor, idly playing with his fingers.

Suddenly, he looked at the fountain in the courtyard not far away and subconsciously climbed over the railing to walk over.

Sunlight filtered through sparse clouds, scattering across the tranquil campus. A stone angel, her eyes closed and lips slightly parted, held one hand raised high while the other gently touched her chest, seemingly reciting a timeless poem. Water droplets danced lightly, falling from her slender fingertips like strings of translucent beads, refracting dazzling light.

Mu Yin saw his reflection in the shimmering water.

Her long, misty gray hair was tied into a side ponytail that fell over her left shoulder, gently secured with a dark green ribbon. Her delicate and beautiful face was expressionless, and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses concealed the sharpness in her golden eyes. She appeared gentle and harmless, yet remained unapproachable.

He instinctively reached out his hand towards the beautiful face in the water, the wetness breaking the calm surface and blurring everything.

Behind his silver-rimmed glasses, his dark gold eyes held a hint of confusion as he looked at the face distorted by the water ripples.

"who is it?"

"Which class are you in? Why are you wandering around outside during class time?"

The sudden unfamiliar voice interrupted his thoughts, and Mu Yin turned his head to look at the person who had come.

The newcomer appeared to be around sixteen years old, with long, straight, blue-gray hair cascading down his back. He had delicate features that were difficult to distinguish as male or female, and his school uniform, which was identical to his own, indicated that he was a teenager.

White, jewel-encrusted Poirot bow tie, dark green vest and trousers—this well-fitting and crisp school uniform could easily be mistaken for formal attire.

However, his clothes were slightly disheveled at the moment, and one hand was behind his back as if he was deliberately hiding something.

Mu Yin sensed something was off, but he didn't think about it too much. He just glanced at the boy up and down and casually asked, "Aren't you outside too?"

"Physical Education Class".

"Oh, I'm being punished by standing outside."

The two looked at each other, one with a face full of disbelief and the other with a complicated expression.

"Don't you change your clothes for PE class?"

"You're being punished by standing in the corner and running around the campus?" "Never mind, things have been a bit unsettled lately. Be careful, and go home obediently after school. Don't wander around." He sighed, deciding not to press the matter further. He casually put something into his pants pocket and turned to leave.

"Wait, what do you mean by 'not peaceful'?" Mu Yin asked.

The boy paused slightly, his blue-gray eyes glancing at Mu Yin with an ambiguous expression. "It's better not to know. If you get involved, your peaceful life will be gone forever. My name is Beltias. If you encounter anything strange, you can contact me directly using the campus directory. I'll help you as a classmate. However, I hope that day will never come."

“Beltias…” Mu Yin murmured, it seemed to be the name of the top student in his class.

Is it really okay to lie to your classmates?

And... why don't they know each other when they're classmates?

Although he sleeps in class every day and ignores everyone, and doesn't know any of his classmates, at least he knows other people's names. Does that mean that even top students don't like interacting with people?
Thinking about it that way, it does seem quite normal...

'Ring ring ring ring'

"Ah, school's out."

Great, another day without obediently attending class.

However, that dream...

I can't remember it at all now.

With a 'clatter, clap, clap,' the white dove flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Mu Yin followed its gaze and looked into the distance.

He walked along the bustling street, watching the pedestrians coming and going, and looking at the dazzling array of shops. Everything seemed the same as usual, yet there was something different, but he couldn't tell the difference.

Perhaps it's because the people coming and going are different, perhaps one of the shops has closed down, or perhaps a new shop has opened. In any case, it is still that unfamiliar yet familiar shopping street, just a scene that I pass by on my way home from school.

He casually glanced around and suddenly stopped in front of the window of a vintage shop selling old items.

Through the clear glass window, Mu Yin saw a life-size lifelike doll with tightly closed eyes beneath its curled eyelashes.

Her pale, bloodless skin was incredibly realistic and delicate, and her beautiful face transcended the limitations of life, becoming incredibly vibrant. Every detail about her exuded indescribable exquisiteness: from the slight trembling of her upper eyelashes with her eyes closed, to the slight upturn of her lips, and to the lace ribbons adorning her slender neck.

The elaborate black dress, with its delicate pleats that seemed to record the dust of bygone years, and her long, smooth, and lustrous gray hair swayed gently in the dim light of the shop window.

She seemed to really be asleep there.

waiting……

I was awakened.

Mu Yin gazed at her quietly through the shop window. Gradually, his gaze focused, and he saw himself wearing glasses. He saw the street behind him seem to distort for a moment, and then return to normal in the blink of an eye.

He instinctively reached into his pockets, but after searching all his pockets, he couldn't find a single penny.

With her pink lips slightly pursed, Mu Yin looked at the beautiful doll with resentment, then turned her gaze to the door of the shop next to her.

With a soft tinkling of the wind chimes, he went inside.

"Welcome to the vintage shop, please feel free to purchase," said the young man with long, dark red hair.

We've officially entered the [Silver Court Chapter]. This chapter is quite long, and the storyline is more intricate, detailed, and full of metaphors than other chapters.

I will update more slowly.

Bell, who had been offline for a long time, has re-entered the game. This actually hints at the relationship between Bell and Mu Yin in reality. In reality, Mu Yin doesn't have a deep impression of Bell, and this is still the case here. Conversely, Bell has a deep impression of Mu Yin in reality, and this is still the case here.
