"It's finally out."

  They saw them again in the vast wilderness, Xiao Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath. But soon he realized something, his originally relaxed face immediately tensed up again, and he quickly turned to the two people beside him:

  "We must hurry down the mountain!"

  "Sorry, given my current situation I can only go by car. Of course, if you're not in a hurry, I can also try to move in a crawling manner. How about it, want to see how caterpillars walk?"

  "Whatever, I think it's better for you to just stay dead."

  If it weren't for Li Shuai's voice, Xiao Mo wouldn't have noticed that Li Shuai's injuries hadn't recovered with the end of the dream. His face was deathly pale, and his clothes were still stained with blood, which made Xiao Mo's mouth twitch involuntarily.

  "You're really something, even when you're about to die, you still can't forget to utter a few poisonous words."

  "Cough... no choice, it's just a language barrier."

  No time was left for nonsense, Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze from Li Shuai and then instructed Xin Yan beside him:

  "You stay here and take care of him, I'll go down the mountain to find her!"

  Xin Yan nodded silently, still playing his role. Seeing Xin Yan's response, Xiao Mo took a deep breath and then ran towards the direction of the mountain below.

  It will take at least half a day to get down the mountain from here, not to mention the time it takes to get from the foot of the mountain to that hospital. And now, Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao are both trapped in their own dreams, with their lives hanging in the balance, Li Shuai has also suffered serious injuries, plus they have not eaten for many days in reality, so it's hard to say whether he will starve to death in the next second.

  Thinking of these terrible situations, Xiao Mu's chest suddenly felt uncomfortable again. He vented his emotions by pounding his fist a few times, then gritted his teeth and continued running down the mountain.

  Just as Xiao Mo was desperately rushing down the mountain, at the same time, a figure who had been ignored by him earlier appeared at the gate of that hospital.

  Looking at the nearby hospital building in front of him, Zhang Tian suddenly stopped his footsteps and turned to ask Lin Dangdang beside him:

  "Is this place correct?"

  "That's right, I remember it was here."

  Lin Dangdang nodded affirmatively, and Liu Zirui and several others who were originally following her suddenly disappeared without knowing where they went.

  Having obtained Lin Dangdang's confirmation, Zhang Tian did not hesitate again, and coldly let Lin Dangdang follow him as he quickly walked in.

  Xiao Mo was not aware that shortly after they were dragged into the dream of the rotten Taoist, Zhang Tianyi appeared at their disappearance location and found Lin Dangdang and others who had been frightened out of their wits. Without much ado, he let Lin Dangdang lead the way to that hospital, just like Xiao Mo did before.

  Zhang Tianyi didn't act with Xiao Mo and the others because he had his own considerations. He knew that Meng Chong wouldn't give up easily, and would definitely make another move as they approached the hospital, so he thought of a relay plan.

  That is, let Xiao Mo and others take Lin Dangdang to walk first, after they are dragged into the dream, he will go to replace several people's work, continue to take Lin Dangdang closer. Until he was dragged into the dream, Xiao Xiao and others escaped to come and replace him, and so on. Although this method has many unknown factors, in the current situation, it is the only way he can think of.

  However, in the process of implementing the plan, unknown factors indeed appeared. Firstly, what he did not expect was that Xiao Mo and others were trapped in the dream of the rotten Taoist priest for a whole day. Secondly, on his side, he didn't encounter any obstruction from the nightmare at all.

  It seemed that this was the case, and it wasn't clear whether Sophie's consciousness was gradually recovering or if Nightmare's attention wasn't focused on him. In any case, he arrived here smoothly.

  Sophie's ward was on the 13th floor, which is a relatively high position, but Zhang Tianyi did not choose to take the elevator, and instead went straight up the stairs.

  Now he can be fairly certain that the Sophie in his dream knows he's closing in on her, or to put it another way, the threat of death is slowly but surely creeping up on her. And he has an even more stimulating idea.

  In a hospital's intensive care unit, a woman covered in bandages and with many tubes inserted into her body lay unconscious on the bed. Next to her sat a gaunt middle-aged woman, who gazed tearfully at her comatose daughter and softly called out:

  "Child... can you open your eyes and look at Mom for a moment? Mom promises, I will never leave you again... I'll stay by your side and cook lots of delicious food that you love every day..."

  It was mom's fault before, mom only cared about work and rarely paid attention to your affairs. Didn't know you were isolated by classmates at school, didn't know you only had Dangdang as a friend... If you like dolls, mom will buy many Dangdangs for you in the future! No! Not needed anymore, because mom will be by your side.

  "So you must wake up! Mom hasn't taken you to the Polar Ocean World yet! This time, mom definitely won't miss it..."

  As she was speaking, the woman's voice suddenly choked up because she found that her daughter's body had suddenly trembled slightly, which had never happened in so many days. Seeing this, she immediately ran out of the ward and exclaimed excitedly:

  "Doctor! Doctor!"

  Zhang Tianyi arrived at Sophie's ward outside, which was a position on the edge of the 13th floor, with the words "Intensive Care Unit" in black letters even more eye-catching.

  He cautiously made his way outside, but Zhang Tianyi didn't immediately push open the door to the ward. He knew that there was nothing inside that could stimulate her. The moment he pushed open the door, it would mean that the stimulation had reached its peak. If she still couldn't wake up, then he would truly be out of options.

  So...

  Zhang Tianyi suddenly pulled out a dagger from his pocket and stabbed Lin Dangdang beside him!

  It's clear that Lin Dangdang is important to Sophie, so he'll kill him and then go find her. She must be even more terrified. Maybe when he attacks Lin Dangdang, she'll end this nightmare.

  But at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared. The dagger directly passed through Lin Dangdang's body, but left no marks! Lin Dangdang... was actually a ghost!

  Zhang Tianyi's heart skipped a beat, although he had never ruled out his suspicions about Lin Dangdang's identity, but at this critical moment, being exposed would undoubtedly be fatal for them.

  He was not consumed by fear, seeing that the attack on Lin was ineffective, he decided to push open the door of the ward, although it was unlikely to be Sophie's ward, but now he had no choice but to try his luck.

  "Through!"

  The door was pushed open violently, but everything around it didn't change at all!

  Zhang Tianyi leaned against the wall, exhausted, and had already prepared himself to be torn into eight pieces. Lin Dangdang in front of him revealed a strange smile, but instead of immediately coming over to kill him, he said:

  "Sophie is a kind person, she should have been recognized and liked by her classmates, but instead, she was ignored by everyone. So I'm going to drag those people in and brutally torture them to death."

  And you people are no better, each of you has a dark past, nightmares that haunt your minds, things you've been trying to escape and forget!

  "I can clearly see your inner thoughts and that crazy idea of yours."

  "You actually possess complete sanity! What on earth are you?!"

  Lin Dangdang's words made Zhang Tianyi extremely frightened. Although evil spirits also have some divine intelligence, they can't express themselves so clearly. Earlier, he was still very suspicious of Li Shuai and Xin Yan's conversation, but now... it proved that he didn't lie.

  Lindang seemed to have lost the mood to continue, and with a smile, she walked towards Zhang Tianyi, who had a shocked expression. Then, her slender hands were placed coldly on Zhang Tianyi's neck.

  Suddenly, a suffocating feeling enveloped Zhang Tianyi, and his face also turned bright red. The life that was about to be lost was struggling extremely painfully. Just when he thought he was doomed to die, the tremendous force applied to his neck suddenly disappeared, along with the sound in his ear.

  Xiao Mo was running desperately, but suddenly he felt something and completely lost consciousness.

  Lao Gao was desperately fleeing forward in his dream, the road ahead was a dense darkness, and behind him not far away, there was a terrifying figure following closely.

  It has been viciously howling:

  "I will definitely come back..."

  Immediately, Lao Gao also lost consciousness.

  Xiao Mu was woken up by the rumbling sound in his stomach, his body was extremely tired, he felt like he was going to starve to death. He tried to open his eyes, but before that, several unfamiliar voices had already entered his ears.

  "That child called Sophie woke up, what a miracle!"

  "Which Sophie?"

  "It's that girl from the 13th floor ICU."

  "Ah, I remember now, the one with severe brain damage. She's awake? I thought this kid wouldn't make it."

  "What? This patient is also awake!"

  Xiao Mu vaguely heard these words, and then his eyelids were fiercely pried open. At this time, he finally saw clearly where he was.

  Let me say a few words after finishing this volume. I wasn't satisfied with the ending of the third volume, and at the beginning of this volume, I was in good shape, but later on, my mentality had some problems, so I couldn't write it effectively.

  The first three volumes of the story can be said to have flaws, and the rhythm is also a bit problematic. Starting from the fourth volume, I will continue to pay attention to this issue and strive to write well every subsequent story.
