The strongest dream therapist

Chapter 21 Strange Dream

The foggy streets seemed shrouded in a veil, mysterious and oppressive. The Central Hospital, adorned with a cross, stood quietly in a corner, emitting a faint glow.

There was no sound around, as still as a pool of stagnant water. No wind blowing, no insects chirping, even the sound of one's own breathing seemed exceptionally clear.

The hospital is the main place of activity for the dreamer.

Fu Yuan stood at the hospital entrance, made this judgment, and walked towards the hospital.

She walked through a long corridor that was covered with black eyes painted on it. The lines of the eyes were rough and strange, and the black paint seemed to be flowing, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

There were indeed people in the hospital. Doctors in white coats were busy with expressionless faces, their eyes empty and numb, as if they were mechanically performing some task.

The patients wearing striped clothes sat in the ward or on the benches in the corridor with dull expressions, without a trace of life in their eyes.

This time, the dreamer's dream was of a larger scope. As Fu Yuan walked along, he clearly felt that it was different from the past.

Although there was still no spiritual energy, it was much more spacious than the dreams she had entered before. The hospital corridor seemed endless, with wards lined up on both sides, their doors half-open, letting in a faint light.

This depressing atmosphere was consistent with what the woman had described during the day, so Fu Yuan went straight to the Nephrology Department on the fifth floor of the inpatient department.

The closer you get, the more oppressive it becomes.

The elevator seemed blocked, so Fu Yuan could only find the emergency exit. After twisting it twice, the door lock opened and she climbed up the stairs.

By the fifth floor, the walls had begun to twist, turning into wriggling tumors. The eyes painted on them had also become alive, glaring at her.

The wall of flesh pressed toward her, as if trying to exclude her.

Fu Yuan didn't know whether the woman was subconsciously rejecting her, or excluding everyone, or whether she felt that no one would come to help her.

A white light burst out from Fu Yuan's body, surrounding her and clinging to the surface of her body. From a distance, it looked like a layer of white outline.

As the wall of flesh approached, it seemed to be on fire, twisting continuously in the air with a sizzling sound, and then turning into black ashes that fluttered down to the ground.

But it seems endless and infinite, and no one knows who it is a derivative of, and it does not follow the law of conservation of mass.

Fu Yuan looked at this scene and rarely thought of the scene in fantasy movies: people walking in the stomachs of large creatures, and perhaps those stomachs also moved in the same way, converting them into nutrients.

Her body was glowing white, and the wall of flesh was like a suicidal moth, constantly flying towards her, but in vain.

Fu Yuan came to the door of "SN-506", the room where the woman was.

The door of her room turned into a heavy bronze door, covered with thick vines that extended from the room. The vines were a strange green color and covered with thorns.

They are like venomous snakes with eyes.

When they saw Fu Yuan, they just made a "hissing" warning sound and did not attack. They just guarded the door like a loyal guard, not letting other creatures in, including the eager flesh wall.

She was going in.

A lightsaber vaguely appeared in her hand, twisted a few times in the air, and turned into a real object.

It's more of a paper sword than a lightsaber, it's as thin as a piece of paper.

Fu Yuan waved his sword lightly, and the light paper sword fell on the heavy bronze door, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. There was a loud "bang" and the bronze door fell down.

Fu Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly and shielded herself from the dust with her hands. When the dust cleared, she looked up, but saw no one.

There is a big tree floating in the air, and the poisonous snake vine is its root.

Its branches covered the ceiling and its roots covered the entire ground. The roots were twisted and wriggling, some thick and some thin, which made people's scalps tingle.

The leaves of the big tree appeared a strange red color, as if they were dyed with blood.

Strangely, they showed no signs of aggression. Fu Yuan approached and saw wrinkles in the bark, vaguely the outline of a person, but he couldn't make out anything more specific.

Fu Yuan's intuition told her that this was the dream of the woman during the day.

The woman must be inside the tree. She patted the trunk and kept calling out. It was a bit awkward now; they had known each other for an entire afternoon, yet she still didn't know the woman's name.

"Hey - wake up -"

Fu Yuan shouted, but she seemed to have lost consciousness and could not be woken up no matter how much he shouted.

This was the first time she encountered such a scene. There had been cases of dreamers turning into animals and plants before, but she never took it seriously because she couldn't communicate.

She looked at the paper sword in her hand, squeezed it, and it disappeared.

Looking at the vines, which seemed to be one with her, Fu Yuan did not dare to cut them off casually, for fear of bringing about any bad effects.

"I was the one who took you to the hospital this afternoon. You are in a dream now. Please wake up quickly. I don't know what will happen if you keep dreaming. What if you die in reality?"

"By the way, you still owe me 50 yuan for takeout. If you die, I'll ask your parents and your brother for it tomorrow. Maybe I can get it from them."

"..."

Fu Yuan kept chattering, trying to awaken the woman's will.

It was not known which words had the effect, but the woman's vines climbed up her wrist, and her face gradually became clearer, but seemed to have aged a lot.

"Don't go..."

The woman's lips were trembling, but her eyes were still tightly closed, and she seemed to be in great pain.

But her current appearance no longer looked as pitiful as it did during the day, but rather a bit more terrifying.

"Don't leave, don't leave." Fu Yuan soothed her, then asked, "Why did you become like this?"

The woman seemed to want to shake her head, and the leaves made a slight rustling sound. Her voice was very soft: "Man... curly hair..."

After saying that, there was no more movement.

No matter how Fu Yuan called out, she stopped talking, and the figure on the tree trunk gradually became blurred, and it was impossible to see the figure without careful observation.

As soon as a hint of white appeared in the sky, Fu Yuan regained consciousness and immediately took out his phone to call a taxi and locate the hotel entrance.

Then he put on a coat and hurried downstairs.

Maybe it’s because people get up early in the morning, and the online taxi drivers who run business at night are taking the last order.

Fu Yuan went downstairs and waited for a minute before getting into the driver's car, telling him the last digit of his cell phone number and fastening his seat belt.

"Got it." The driver was a talkative man. He glanced at Fu Yuan in the rearview mirror and started to talk: "So hard-working? Going to the hospital so early, I don't know if it's open yet."

Fu Yuan said: "It's open. We're seeing patients. The inpatient department is open 24 hours a day."

The driver chuckled twice, thinking it was a doctor, but it turned out to be a family member.

"About 12 minutes."

Fu Yuan nodded and looked out the window. In a trance, he saw the bearded man who said there was no hot water when he met him in the hotel. He pressed his face, as if he was giving it a facial massage.

His beard seemed to be growing much faster than when he left.
