I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Safe zone, inside the store.

As soon as they were brought into the shop, Xuanjian and Fagui's conditions stabilized a bit.

I don't know if it's psychological or if the safe zone has a certain suppressive effect on erosion and negative states.

But it only stabilized a little bit.

The condition of both of them is still visibly deteriorating.

In fact, if Little Blood hadn't given them a ride, the two of them wouldn't have made it back to the safe zone and might have died halfway there.

Even so, the situation is still extremely precarious.

The strange and the human joys and sorrows are not connected, and Little Blood is completely indifferent to the silence and grief of humans.

It hid in a corner where no one paid attention and went off to fish by itself.

In the store.

The woman in pajamas said, "Now that we've conquered the nightmare, the time before we leave the nightmare world shouldn't be too far off. Once we leave the nightmare and settle our nightmare experiences, the injuries of the two great masters, Xuanjian and Fagui, might improve!"

After all, it was a nightmare that had been conquered, and a massive nightmare at that.

The reward given at the end of the settlement is quite substantial, so there might still be hope.

Many people's eyes lit up.

But the next moment, Old Cai shook his head, "I'm afraid...it's difficult."

"Xuan Jian and the others are seriously injured, especially Xuan Jian. The pollution and erosion have penetrated deep into his bone marrow and soul, and his entire body has begun to mutate."

"As for the 'Out of the Box,' the cursed object of a Dreamer in the Control stage is usually quite stable. However, the Out of the Box has repeatedly forced the cursed object to erupt, and now it shows signs of going berserk. Once the cursed object goes berserk, the Dreamer himself will become a puppet or shell of the cursed object, and the Out of the Box will be reborn!"

After the nightmare is over, the recovery from injuries is just a side effect; it's impossible for someone who has been seriously injured to suddenly become lively and energetic again.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying that once the injury exceeds a certain limit, one will fall below the kill line.

the most important is……

Can Xuanjian and Fagui hold out until they return to reality?

Disaster!Disaster!Disaster!

Normally, if they can conquer a nightmare, these dreamers would love to stay as long as possible. Firstly, they can rest, and secondly, they can loot the nightmare areas that have been secured.

This area is a large nightmare, quite extensive, and must contain many high-value items.

He should be hoping for more time to deal with it.

Now, all Lao Cai hopes is that the nightmare will end soon.

In the silence, Shi An spoke up, "Perhaps there's still hope."

In an instant,

Pairs of eyes looked over, wide open, filled with anticipation, yet hesitant to place too high expectations.

"Is the store manager about to make a move?"

"However, even if the store manager is very strong, having great power and healing the sick are two different things."

"But if it's the store manager..."

They clearly understand that the store manager is also human and cannot be omnipotent.

But they still couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

What methods will the store manager use?

Could it be that we can forcibly lock down the states of the two big shots, Xuanjian and Fagui, and prevent them from deteriorating further?

"Wait for me a moment."

Then, the shop manager walked to the side of the shop.

There was a wall there, but when the shop manager reached out to touch it, the wall turned into a door, and the shop manager pushed the door open and went in.

"Ding!"

"Note: The additional space 'Spring of Purification Area' is being developed."

"Hint: Area development complete."

"Hint: We currently have 1/1 additional zone."

The area was developed very quickly, probably because the purification spring was already there and no extra work was needed.

When An opened the door, a refreshing breeze immediately greeted her.

In front of you is a small garden, about the same size as the shop, surrounded by some common flowers, and in the very center is a pool of spring water surrounded by rocks.

The pool was smaller than before, though it was visible from afar through Xiao Xue's eyes. The water was crystal clear, with shimmering silvery-white spots flowing within.

-

"Fountain of Purification"

"Note: Each liter of this special spring water has a purifying effect. It is recommended to drink the purified spring water within ten minutes of drinking it. After that time, the purifying effect will gradually diminish until it disappears."

"Note: Consuming Dream Dust will increase the daily production of Purification Spring. 100g of Dream Dust can produce 100ml of Purification Spring."

Purifying spring water doesn't require Shi An to simply scoop water into the pool with a container.

The design here is quite modern; there's a device resembling a water dispenser in front of the spring pool.

There are also disposable paper cups available for people to use.

"Although it's a bit too simple to use paper cups to hold purified water."

But it's alright.

Results are the most important thing.

Shi An was also very curious about how effective the purifying water really was.

Following the instructions provided, he took two cups of purified spring water, each cup containing approximately 100ml.

100ml is roughly the dosage of one dose of medicine, which can remove most of the less deep-rooted negative erosions.

Thinking it over, Shi An took two paper cups filled with water, walked out of the Spring Garden, and returned to the shop.

"Give them both glasses of water to drink."

water?

They saw the paper cup in the shop manager's hand, but didn't think it was too plain.

I'm still curious.

Is this some kind of miracle drug?

Without time to think further, everyone believed that since the store manager had asked them to do this, he must have his reasons.

He was still unconscious.

With the help of the man in the baseball cap, Xuan Jian shakily accepted the water glass that was offered to his lips.

The liquid in the cup was as clear as ordinary spring water, with only a faint silver shimmer visible within, adding a touch of mystery and extraordinariness to this seemingly ordinary paper cup of water.

"As expected of medicines brought out by the store manager, they look extraordinary, even though they're just in a paper cup."

Xuanjian pondered to himself.

However, he was also very clear about his own situation.

The pollution has penetrated deep into the body, bone marrow, and soul!

In this situation, even if he manages to return to reality, he may not be able to be saved.

Moreover, this is in a nightmare world where resources are scarce and life-saving medicines are more precious than cursed items.

He didn't want to waste the shopkeeper's extremely precious potion; he was unlikely to survive, and he was no longer able to repay the debt of gratitude.

but,

"Drink it."

The store manager's tone left no room for refusal.

Xuan Jian smiled bitterly, and after that, his will to survive intensified once again.

He pursed his lips, and the clear liquid slid down his throat into his intestines.

It has a light, refreshing taste.

It was as if he had simply drunk a glass of ordinary spring water.

It really does seem to be spring water? It tastes exactly the same!

But before his thoughts could wander, an invisible force spread out, permeating his limbs and bones.

Xuan Jian's eyes widened, and he quickly gulped down the rest of the medicine.

He drank it too quickly and choked a little. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, afraid that he would cough up even a drop of the precious medicine.

He even stuck out his tongue to lick the paper cup, afraid of wasting any of the medicine's effects.

After all, this medicine is probably too precious!

Seeing Xuanjian's expression, the man in the baseball cap also widened his eyes.

"Hey boss, is it working?"

But licking even paper cups seems a bit exaggerated.

Is Xuanjian a person who wouldn't act like that?

Xuanjian did not answer; he kept his eyes closed, carefully experiencing the changes in his body.

After a while,

He remained silent, simply rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs.

There, the swelling in her legs was subsiding at a visible rate, and the bruising and purple discoloration on her skin were fading rapidly.

The abnormality and bloodshot eyes in Xuanjian's pupils, as well as the bluish-purple color on his face, were rapidly fading and fading.

Wisps of blue and purple mist drifted out, only to be purified by some silvery-white power, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Only a few specks of dust fell, like embers left after a fire.

Xuan Jian, who had been lying half-reclined, on the verge of death, with his legs twitching intermittently, suddenly stood up.

Holy crap!
