“Xu Lin classmate, where are you going?”
Lin Shen Xue’s voice was hoarse and heavy, as if coming from the abyss.
She slowly raised her head, staring at Xu Lin with eyes flickering with an abnormal light.
At this moment, Xu Lin had already stood up and retreated a few steps.
Just now, he noticed the materialized black mist of <Heavy Girl> floating around Lin Shen Xue, trying to capture him again.
He hurriedly wanted to escape the range where the power’s influence was strongest.
And now, as Lin Shen Xue looked at him, the materialized black mist tentacles around her began to stir again.
At the same time, she slowly approached Xu Lin.
Xu Lin wanted to retreat further, but behind him was already the wall; there was no way to avoid it.
“How about imagining punching through the wall and escaping like before?”
Xu Lin quickly thought of a method—that was the power of “I reckon.”
After all, this was a dream; earlier, he had successfully escaped Lin Shen Xue’s power control this way.
So he turned around, repeatedly imagining in his mind the scene of the wall being smashed open with one punch.
When he felt the timing was right, he clenched his teeth, tightened his fist, and punched the wall in front of him.
Bang.
A huge muffled sound came; his fist bounced back, and the wall in front of him didn’t budge.
“Ah!”
Xu Lin saw stars, clenched his teeth, rubbed his head with both hands, trying to dissipate the dull pain in his brain.
The pain in his head gradually subsided, but his ears still rang with buzzing.
“No, I used my fist; why does my head hurt?”
Xu Lin was stunned.
“Dreams aren’t this messed up!”
However, after his brain regained some thinking ability, he remembered the strange phenomenon when his fist hit the wall.
Black mist was writhing on the wall surface, exactly the same as Lin Shen Xue’s materialized <Heavy Girl> power.
In other words, this entire room was actually constructed by Lin Shen Xue’s power?
“Xu Lin classmate, are you okay?”
Lin Shen Xue’s voice from the abyss came, with a tone of concern.
But when it reached Xu Lin’s ears, it made his recently relieved brain ache again.
He felt the gravity approaching.
Xu Lin quickly turned around and found Lin Shen Xue less than three steps away from him.
In this situation, she was still willing to care about him—truly commendable—but this terrifying appearance made it hard to feel grateful.
Xu Lin began to miss the daytime Lin Shen Xue with her warm sunny smile.
But missing it now was useless; behind him was the wall blocking.
In front, as Lin Shen Xue approached, the <Heavy Girl> gravity field around her also sealed the gaps on both sides.
And as the unstable state increased, the black mist around her became more solid, showing her increasingly surging power.
As long as Xu Lin got close to it, he would be captured, then instantly refined, becoming a part of the eternal dream.
Now he seemed to have reached a dead end, could only wait quietly for Lin Shen Xue to approach, capture him, and then refine him.
“Wait, Lin classmate.”
Xu Lin still wanted to struggle and called out to Lin Shen Xue in front of him.
Her movements paused, and her eyes flickering with abnormal light stared at Xu Lin.
It works!
However, her gaze made his heart stuffy, and his ears faintly buzzed.
“Xu Lin classmate, this isn’t a dream.”
“Let’s be together forever?”
Lin Shen Xue smiled; wrapped in black mist, her smile was extremely eerie.
She muttered these two sentences and continued moving slowly toward Xu Lin.
Alright, communication impossible.
The tentacles of gravity reached toward Xu Lin.
Xu Lin dodged with a flash.
He still didn’t want to give up.
However, his movement was a bit slow; the tentacle grazed past.
At this time, a cool aura surrounded him, blocking the extending tentacle outside.
It was the Florida Water.
Right, he still had items to use.
Hope surged in his heart.
However, the next moment, the hope that surged cooled down again.
After all, earlier when Lin Shen Xue was hugging him, he had crushed those two bottles; the mineral water and Florida Water were both splashed on Lin Shen Xue.
Yet, even in that state, it only let him escape the binding; Lin Shen Xue’s power showed no sign of weakening.
Was the amount insufficient?
Whatever, try first!
Xu Lin thought of mineral water and Florida Water in his mind; the next moment, several cases of mineral water and Florida Water appeared in front of him.
He picked them up to synthesize with tags but found they were already ‘Relaxed and Refreshing Mineral Water’ and ‘Six Gods Blessed Florida Water’.
That saved trouble.
Xu Lin held mineral water in one hand and Florida Water in the other; no need for hands to open the caps—with a thought, both caps opened automatically.
Then he squeezed the mineral water toward Lin Shen Xue with one hand and poured the Florida Water on himself with the other.
Then he picked up another mineral water and Florida Water with each hand and splashed them toward Lin Shen Xue.
Just like that, operating in turns, his movements were lightning fast; his hands left only two shadows.
When the mineral water in the cases and Florida Water in the boxes were all used up, he stopped.
It wasn’t that there wasn’t enough; now with the power of “I reckon,” there was as much as he wanted.
He stopped because what he had just done was completely useless.
The mineral water splashed on Lin Shen Xue, only turning into wisps of steam and dissipating in the air.
The Florida Water didn’t even leave a shadow.
And the black mist around Lin Shen Xue showed no sign of weakening; instead, its momentum was even stronger.
“Pointless effort. Am I doomed to sink in this dream?”
“This isn’t a dream!”
Lin Shen Xue’s voice came.
“We will be excited forever, Xu Lin classmate.”
At this moment, she was only one step away from Xu Lin.
The <Heavy Girl> power around her completely wrapped Xu Lin.
The power was about to penetrate into Xu Lin’s body.
He felt he was about to be captured by the tyrannical gravity, unable to escape anymore.
“Perhaps, we can really be happy forever…”
A cool sensation exploded, wrapping around him.
His mind instantly cleared.
No, no, can’t give up yet.
He retreated repeatedly, his back hitting the wall again.
?
Something felt wrong.
He noticed the sensation from the wall was a bit off.
It seemed some power retreated because of his current touch.
He turned to look at the position behind his back.
“The black mist is gone!”
In the area he was leaning against, the writhing black mist on the wall had disappeared.
“My method earlier was wrong!”
Xu Lin understood the key to the problem.
He had another bottle of mineral water and Florida Water in hand.
“It seems Lin Shen Xue’s main body power is very strong; these two things can’t do anything to her.”
“But this wall, or rather, this constructed dream, is relatively fragile. However, at the beginning, I only splashed one bottle of mineral water and one bottle of Florida Water, and not completely on myself; the power wasn’t enough.”
Xu Lin drank the mineral water and splashed the Florida Water on himself.
Actually, he knew that his earlier operations had already taken in enough power, but he still wanted to supplement for peace of mind.
Preparations complete.
He clenched his fist again, imagined the wall being smashed open in his mind, then punched the wall in front of him.
Boom.
A big hole was blasted in the wall in front of him.
And outside the hole, pitch black; he couldn’t see what was on the other side.
Lin Shen Xue’s power approached from behind.
Xu Lin made up his mind and crossed that gap.
Compared to waiting for death, he preferred to try his best to escape.
“This…”
Surrounded by green trees, cicadas chirping, birds singing, sunshine just right, spilling through the gaps in the leaves, forming dappled light and shadow on the ground.
This shift from dark to light caught Xu Lin off guard.
“Is this still in the dream?”
“Sorry, Xu Lin classmate, I’m late.”
A familiar voice came from beside him.
Xu Lin looked toward the sound.
It was Lin Shen Xue.
He subconsciously retreated two steps.
However, looking closely, he found the Lin Shen Xue in front of him was a bit different.
She was wearing JK, the set cosplaying “Yuki Hongye”.
Sweat beaded on her forehead, her chest heaved, and her voice carried a hint of panting.
…This scene, why does it feel familiar?
Right! Isn’t this the scene from the park this afternoon when he waited for her?
Could it be that everything before was just an illusion? Actually, my brain fantasy while waiting for Lin Shen Xue to arrive?
No way!
Obviously, this was still a dream.
Because beside Lin Shen Xue, he didn’t see the familiar <Heavy Girl> tag.
However, the system was blatantly floating in front of him right now.
But there were benefits. At least the Lin Shen Xue in front of him now was relatively stable.
Perhaps try communicating with the Lin Shen Xue in front of him and then escape this dream?
But what to do now?
Go straight to the point, or first follow the daytime script, then get information from her during the chat.
Thinking this, he subconsciously pressed his pocket.
But there was no owl plushie there.
No backup; he had to rely on himself.
“Xu Lin classmate?”
Lin Shen Xue’s puzzled voice came.
Xu Lin looked over and found her gaze on the hand pressing his pocket.
Was this scene in the daytime?
Whatever, don’t let her suspect.
“It’s nothing; I just arrived too.”
Saying that, he put his hand in his pocket and took out a pack of tissues.
“Actually, no need to rush so much. Look at you, running until you’re sweating all over. Wipe the sweat first and sit down to rest.”
“Wait here for me; I’ll go buy a bottle of water over there.”
“Mm.”
Lin Shen Xue nodded.
Is this reaction correct?
But Xu Lin didn’t dwell on it and quickly went to buy water and came back.
When he returned, he saw Lin Shen Xue smiling, looking at him coming back.
And the tissue in her hand was gone.
Different again.
But he still continued the script.
Handed the water to Lin Shen Xue, then prepared to drink water while persuading.
He opened the cap, tilted his head to drink.
The expected water didn’t flow into his mouth, and the mineral water in his hand disappeared.
Xu Lin was stunned, not yet understanding what happened.
“Sorry, Xu Lin classmate, I’m late.”
Lin Shen Xue’s slightly panting voice came from beside him.
Hm?
He looked toward the sound.
Sure enough, he saw Lin Shen Xue just arriving.
This, this scene wasn’t already played?
In confusion, he noticed a staring gaze.
It was Lin Shen Xue; at this moment, she was staring at him unblinkingly, as if waiting for something.
Xu Lin shivered and subconsciously said that line.
“It’s nothing; I just arrived too.”
However, still Lin Shen Xue’s staring gaze.
He took out tissues from his pocket and handed them to her.
Again met with her gaze.
This time Xu Lin didn’t pause; said the lines, then proceeded with the follow-up plot.
Buy water, hand water, drink water, persuade.
“Sorry, Xu Lin classmate, I’m late.”
Sure enough again, didn’t drink the water; from beside came Lin Shen Xue’s slightly panting apology.
Xu Lin was a bit unconvinced and tried a few more times.
Sure enough, same; when it came to drinking water, it restarted.
Done, infinite loop.
The plot was stuck here; no chance to get information.
Whatever!
This time Xu Lin decided to abandon the script and chat directly.
“Lin classmate, sit first.”
Xu Lin sat on the stone bench.
However, Lin Shen Xue didn’t move, just looked at him.
“Lin…”
Xu Lin wanted to call her to sit.
The scene before him suddenly changed; he was standing again.
“Sorry, Xu Lin classmate, I’m late.”
Lin Shen Xue’s panting apology came from beside him again.
Xu Lin slowly looked at her.
Sure enough, still that sweaty, hurried appearance.
Such strong control!
But if it went on like this, was it really okay?
No, can’t follow that script, or it would be endless.
“Lin…”
He just said one word; the scene before him changed again.
“Sorry, Xu Lin classmate, I’m late.”
Lin Shen Xue’s apology came again.
Just one word, and it restarted?
“Lin…”
Scene changed, apology came.
“Lin…”
Scene changed, apology came.
Xu Lin now understood; he seemed to have met a more stable Lin Shen Xue, but things seemed even trickier.
There was simply no room for him to operate here.
“Xu Lin classmate, why…”
Hm?
A different line came to his ear.
Xu Lin suddenly looked at Lin Shen Xue beside him but was stunned.
Black mist steamed around her; the <Heavy Girl> tag appeared again beside her. Gravity materialized as black gas tentacles swaying around her.
As expected!
“Why do you want to avoid it.”
Lin Shen Xue’s voice was hoarse, as if from the abyss.
“Clearly, we can be together forever.”
The sunny scene shattered into quarters.
Black mist tore at the surrounding environment; pieces of park scenery fragments slowly slid down, as if a movie screen was torn, revealing the true face beneath.
Pitch black, profound; a vast power came from the darkness.
And at the center of the darkness was Lin Shen Xue, emanating tyrannical gravity.
Xu Lin looked around.
All around was seamless blackness, indistinguishable front back left right, east west north south.
Perhaps these things didn’t exist here at all.
“This time, nowhere to escape?”
“And also, helpless…”
Lin Shen Xue was far away, not approaching.
However, her gravity tentacles reached toward Xu Lin.
The effects of Florida Water and mineral water had been pierced.
He was successfully captured by gravity and slowly pulled toward her.
