Looking at the evil version of Meng, even though they were identical, the feeling it gave off was nothing like the inal Meng.

  Lan Yan opened her mouth in astonishment, "Are they really twins?"

  Qin Nuo shook his head, took out all the puzzle pieces, and pieced them together in the air again.

  On the puzzle, there were two versions of Meng: one pure and i, the other sinister aful, like heaven and hell in a sihought.

  The starkly trasting styles were a shock to the eyes.

  "At first, I also thought they were twins, but from the st few panels of the dream, it was clear that the nun who was **, who was Meng's mother, only gave birth to one daughter."

  "The nun, afraid her daughter would be harmed, lied that the child was abandoned and picked up, and fostered her in a mental hospital."

  "But the good times didn't st long. The vagrant who ** the nun was caught and fessed to his crime. In religious belief, nuns are absolutely pure, representiion to God. The nun's as not only defiled herself but also God."

  "Mad believers tied the nun in the hall and burned her alive. The daughter watched her mother being buro death, not with sadness, but with fusion as to why this stranger was treated this way."

  "Soon, it was discovered that the girl picked up was the offspring of the sinful nun. However, the servative fa believed the child was i and protected her."

  "Although the girl wasn't buro death, she was bullied by her peers during that time. A group of girls dragged her into the bathroom, stripped her naked, and one girl used sharp scissors to cut her face, making everyone ugh joyfully."

  "The ragged girl didn't uand why everyoreated her this way, and at night, she curled up in a er, g secretly."

  "That night, a drunken janitor returo the dormitory, found the girl in the er, dragged her into the dorm room, and ** the twelve-year-old girl."

  "The girl's nerves nearly colpsed. The servative nuns tried their best to fort her, helping her out of the shadows, allowio see a glimmer of hope in endless darkness."

  "Unfortunately, because the girl was **, the radicals used this as an excuse to overthrow the servatives, hanging all the servative nuns."

  "That day, the sky was gray, and the believers were excited. Amidst cheers, they tied the girl to the cross in the hall and lit torches. The more the girl's screams were heart-wreng, the higher the believers' cheers rose."

  "Finally, the police arrived in time to save the girl, but she was already burned beynition, barely alive. During the rescue at the hospital, strong hatred prevented her from exhali breath, instead swallowing it, gradually losing all signs of life..."

  "A breath of rese, taining all the girl's hatred, turned into a vengeful ghost after her death. That night, the radical believers in the mental hospital were celebrating, unaware of a bizarre fire that engulfed all their lives, sparing not even the i patients."

  "After everyone died, the girl trapped all the souls in the hospital, turning it into a ghost hospital. The i souls tiheir lives as before, but those who had tormehe girl weren't so lucky..."

  "The janitor who ** the girl was trapped ihroom, pierced by iros, enduring the pain of flesh being torn day after day, cursed totems f them into endless repentance."

  "The girls who bullied her were ed in a secret room, and the girl who cut her face was o a cross, suffering the cycle of skin being torn."

  "The nun who lit the torch suffered endless soul torment."

  "After pleting her revehe girl formed from hatred extracted another pure and kind sciousness, stripping her of memories, allowio live carefree in the mental hospital."

  "To the girl formed from evil thoughts, the kied girl was her mental trauma. Healing her was equivalent to healing herself."

  At this point, Qin Nuo paused, looking at the dream formed from evil thoughts, he said, "What do you think of my story?"

  The evil dream smiled slightly, "The story is fasating."

  "But hasn't aold you it's impolite to tell someone else's personal experiences?"

  "It is indeed impolite."

  Qin Nuo said, "But if you think stripping her of memories, making her fet herself, and living like ay shell is pensation, then it's ughable."

  "How is this different from those crazy believers back then?"

  "In other words, the kied dream is just a puppet to satisfy your selfish desires."

  Qin Nuo's casual words seemed to strike deep into the dream's soul.

  Her terrifying face was covered with hideous bck veins.

  "Shut up! You're not me, so how could you uand what I've been through?"

  "I stripped her memories, letting her live happily without thoughts, while I bear the painful memories. And you call this ughable?"

  "You even say I'm the same kind of person as those sinful ones?"

  "You, most deserving of death!"

  The evil dream's face twisted, her voice filled with intense killing i.

  Lan Yan couldn't help but step back a few steps, whispering, "Isn't provoking her a bit like c death?"

  Qin Nuo's expression was grave. His act of c death was merely to use words, like Liu Meng's parents did, to break the evil dream's defenses and trigger the Ring hts.

  That way, he would have ara trump card in his hand.

  The evil dream sneered coldly, "So, do you think a mere childish gun is useful against me?"

  Qin Nuo replied calmly, "The gun might not be useful."

  "But what if it's a gun doused with holy water?"

  The evil dream squinted her eyes, "Didn't you run out of holy water?"

  "That was just a tactic to lure you out."

  "Those weren't holy water, just the old man's liquor."

  Qin Nuo said, "You revealed a bit. Once holy water is used on a ghost, it loses its effectiveness. Why did all the nuns fall?"

  Lan Yan finally found a ce to show off, "This is the trap we set from the beginning, just waiting for you to jump in!"

  The evil dream's face was indifferent, "Is that so? Try shooting?"

  Qin Nuo pondered for a moment and suddenly fired.

  In the fsh of fire, the bullet instantly reached the evil dream's face.

  But it was as if time had stopped; the bullet halted in front of the dream.

  Qin Nuo frowned and tinued firing, but all the bullets stopped in mid-air before the evil dream.

  The evil dream snapped her fingers.

  Immediately, the air in the hall accelerated its flow.

  From the surrounding darkness, white shadoeared again, and more buns walked out expressionlessly, their eyes turned white, staring bnkly at Qin Nuo and Lan Yan like puppets.

  "Is this still within your pn?" the evil dream asked, tilting her head.

  The kied dream emerged from the darkness, looking at Qin Nuo, then at the evil dream, and asked, " you let them go?"

  The evil dream looked at her, puzzled, "Why are you speaking for them?"

  "You are me, and I am you. Everything I do is for you, uand?"

  The evil dream poi Qin Nuo and Lan Yan, saying, "They are disturbing our lives, making you remember those painful memories. Why would you speak for these unfivable people?"

  The kied dream lowered her head, murmuring, "But I'm lonely, they're my only friends."

  "I also want to see the outside world."

  The evil dream frowned, "Why do you have such thoughts? I'm proteg you, 't you see?"

  "You long for the world outside the mental hospital, but it's a hell where those filthy and ugly people did to us for their ridiculous beliefs."

  "Do you want to experie again?"

  The evil dream's face was fierce, staring ily at the kied dream.

  The kied dream lowered her head for a moment, then nodded, saying, "I uand."

  "I'm sorry."

  The evil dream's expression softened, gently caressing the kied dream's cheek, saying, "That's right, we live here, fetting everything."

  "The souls here are at our and, those who tormented us suffer a huimes more than we did."

  "This is our paradise."

  "Since we're in paradise, why yearn for the ugly world outside?"

  The evil dream took the kied dream's hand, stepping aside, looking at Qin Nuo and Lan Yan surrounded by buns, saying, "Now, remove these people disturbing us, and everything will be as if it never happened."

  "You will be fine..."

  The evil dream's words suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with shock.

  Then she slowly turned, looking at the kied dream who had stepped back a few steps.

  The kied dream stepped back a few steps, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry."

  "Remembering those memories might be painful."

  "But at least, I want to know who I am, what my name is."

  "Rather than being like a dream, never waking up!"

  The evil dream looked down at the needle pierg her body.

  Ihe needle, the holy water was rapidly disappearing...
