Excessive ferocity due to caution

Open the door.

A dimly lit corridor.

Etzlack stumbled along.

He hugged his arms, feeling cold all over.

The surrounding walls... were constantly seeping water.

"Where...am I?"

Aizlark trembled as he looked around.

He is afraid.

In fear.

Etzlark knew perfectly well... this was not a dream!

Living in Baihua Community, he suddenly discovered that he had awakened a mysterious power after experiencing a drowning incident.

While he was dreaming... he could actually influence the real world!

Even if it's just a small area.

But this discovery brought him a joy he had never experienced before.

He created a killer in his own image.

He began turning the other residents of the community into monsters, thus attracting outside investigators to delve deeper into the Hundred Flowers Community, where they would die one by one in terror...

This feeling of doing whatever he wanted captivated Aizlark, making him unable to stop!

Even in that dream, he still had his own fear—water.

But compared to the pleasure of slaughtering others, this is nothing!

After all, the rain wouldn't really hurt him!

But today, an unexpected event occurred.

The rainwater... actually destroyed the community's sewer drainage system!

Floods are rampant.

Even though Etzlark knew he wouldn't actually die in the dream, he still felt fear as he faced the icy water.

Fear does not necessarily come entirely from death.

Once the Pandora's box, filled with fear, is opened... it's hard to close it again.

When Ezrak regained consciousness, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world.

He was imprisoned in this long, dark corridor!

There are two doors at both ends.

But no matter which door you open, behind it lies another dark corridor, seemingly endless...

Furthermore, water seeped into the walls of the corridor...

There was always a voice lingering in his ears that made him uneasy.

What is that...?

Etzlark listened intently.

It seems... something is rapidly approaching him.

It rumbled...

Etzlark felt extremely frightened. He couldn't feel at ease until he found the source of the sound, so he kept running forward...

As he opened door after door and walked through corridor after corridor...

Finally, he arrived at the source of the sound and stood in front of the last door.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

But with trembling hands, he still pushed open the last door.

The scene behind the door was fully revealed before my eyes.

Etzlark's features contorted in extreme terror, yet a distorted smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth—

The next moment, a torrent of water, like a dam bursting, surged from behind the door, engulfing him completely...

...

"The power to influence reality through dreams... is similar to the magic pen world of L381, but this power is more specialized, seemingly fragments of some scattered rules."

Zhao Yi devoured Etzlark's spirit and, through dissecting the ox, successfully absorbed the power of the fragments of its rules.

That portion of power also entered Zhao Yi's Bloodline Temple.

Zhao Yi felt that something new was about to awaken within his Bloodline Temple.

Upon exiting the mental world, a message from the system arrived.

"We...we survived?!"

Nan Jia was pleasantly surprised to find herself back in the library of the Cursed Academy, and touched her bald head.

The girl remained vigilant, looking around.

She pinched her cheek.

hiss--

it hurts.

It appears to be true.

Thank you!

The girl, relieved, bowed sincerely to Zhao Yi and Nan Jia to express her gratitude.

Looking at Li Xiuer, who was so close and bowing, her beautiful chest slightly developed, Nan Jia blushed instantly. She quickly put her hands together and hurriedly chanted:

"What a sin, what a sin."

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form... emptiness, emptiness..."

Li Xiuer blinked and asked curiously:

"What did the young master say?"

Nan Jia looked at the girl who had moved a little closer to her, her heart pounded, and she stammered:

"N-nothing!!"

He was extremely anxious.

I used to hear my fellow disciples on the mountain say that the women down the mountain were all seductive vixens who could drain a man's yang energy. Now it seems that my fellow disciples were right!

Zhao Yi, standing to the side, holding the Dream Building Manual, smiled and said:

"Now we can leave the Cursed Academy."

Seeing Zhao Yi come to the rescue, Nan Jia hurriedly nodded and said:

"Ah, right, right, right!"

"Miss Xiu still has to save the people in the town..."

Thinking of this, Nan Jia suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask again:

"By the way, Miss Xiu, if I may ask, what exactly happened in your town?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuer's face immediately paled.

"I……"

She seemed to have something she couldn't say.

"Is it troublesome?"

Nan Jia pressed for an answer.

Li Xiuer sighed and nodded.

"Yes."

"Six years ago, I graduated from school and went home to visit my family. I thought I could live a peaceful life like this, but then the town was inexplicably cursed..."

"The people in the town gradually began to repeat the same things every day as the day before. At first, it was normal, but as time went on, the repetition became more and more pronounced..."

"I don't know when it started, but every time midnight strikes, everything in the town is reset... including the memories of the townspeople..."

"I tried various methods to break the curse, but ultimately failed."

"Even some of the masters I once sought help from were assimilated by the town's curse and became part of the town..."

"So, after that, I dared not ask anyone to break the curse in town anymore, and I had to find a way myself..."
