Zhang Heng didn't know why Han Lu suddenly said that. He knew his own problem. He had been a quiet person since he was a child. Compared to other children who liked to play in groups, he preferred to be alone, read alone, and allocate his time. However, it wasn't to the extent of a mental illness.
In fact, when he was a child, he was not much different from other children. He still had the emotions he should have. As he got involved in this game, his various abilities improved rapidly. At the same time, his emotional fluctuations became smaller and smaller, allowing him to remain calm in battle and always make the right choice. However, the price he had to pay was that he was not sure if he could still be classified as a "human." Especially after experiencing this incident, he found that his body had also changed.
After Han Lu smashed the bottle, she vented her anger. She then sat on the ground, hugging her knees, looking very depressed.
Just then, Zhang Heng received another message.
This WeChat message was not from Mei Nan, but from Stranger Things.
[Are you there? Did your friend sleep?]
Zhang Heng did not want to reply, but when he saw that it was from Ling Chen, he knew that she had been paying attention to this matter. Out of politeness, he replied.
[Thank you. It's over.]
[Over? Don't give up. I might be able to solve your friend's problem.]
[Huh?]
The other party did not reply. Instead, she sent him a WeChat ID. Zhang Heng took a look and saw that it was Shen Xixi's WeChat ID. In other words, the person who was talking to him using this WeChat ID should also be Shen Xixi.
Zhang Heng added this WeChat ID using another mobile phone number.
Shen Xixi did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
[You are a player, right? I saw your previous message, but you did not reply to us. Do you not believe that we can save your friend?]
[Do you have a solution?]
Zhang Heng typed.
[It's easy if you are a player. I don't have to explain so much. You must know how terrifying the Dreamland of Death is. What's worse is that this thing has become rampant recently. We have been studying it for a long time.]
Before Zhang Heng could reply, Shen Xixi's next WeChat message followed.
[I know what you want to say. The three major guilds and other players are also studying the Dreamland of Death, but there has been no results. How can we do something they can't?]
[Why?]
Have you ever heard of Morpheus?
One of the three thousand gods of dreams in Greek mythology, Onirii. Is the Dreamland of Death related to him?
No, there were many theories about the origin of the Dreamland of Death. Currently, most people were inclined to believe that the Dreamland of Death was related to Hypnos. Hypnos was the twin brother of Thanatos, the god of death. He married the sea nymph Pasithea and gave birth to three children. He was also the leader of the three thousand dream gods, and Morpheus was one of them.
After Shen Xixi sent this message, she was obviously thinking about the wording. After a while, her next message was sent.
Half a month ago, our people obtained a game item related to Morpheus. It allows us to enter other people's dreams. We don't know how the Dreamland of Death works, but judging from its name, it should be related to dreams.
Name your price.
Zhang Heng said.
[The game item itself is only Grade-D, and it's not very valuable. Although we thought about using it to deal with the Dreamland of Death, it was only in the imagination stage. We don't know what will happen in reality. Even if we can enter the target's dream, we don't know if we can make it in time. We have no idea what will happen next. The most important thing is that we can't find anyone who has survived the Dreamland of Death. Even if we want to study it, we can't start.]
[So what do you want?]
[We don't want anything. We just want to go in and have a look. We want to get closer to the Dreamland of Death, try to find a solution, and see if there is a way to stop more people from getting hurt. Of course, if you are worried about danger, you don't have to follow us. Just give us your friend's address and contact information, and we can go to him directly.]
[Can your game item allow many people to enter the dream at the same time?]
Zhang Heng asked.
[In theory, that thing can allow up to four people to enter the dream at the same time.]
[Then save a spot for me.]
[Sure.]
Shen Xixi was very straightforward, and then she typed again.
[Give me the address. If it's not too far away, my people and I will be there in about an hour.]
Zhang Heng sent Han Lu's address to the other party. At this point, he had no intention of continuing to hide his identity from Shen Xixi. Of course, he could choose to wear a mask, but it didn't make much sense anymore. Shen Xixi would definitely think of him when she saw Han Lu.
The two had just met at the school supermarket in the afternoon, and Shen Xixi knew that he skipped class because of Han Lu.
Forty-five minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Zhang Heng got up to open the door.
Shen Xixi stood outside the door with two people. The moment she saw Zhang Heng, her expression changed drastically. "Why are you here?!" she blurted out subconsciously.
But then she seemed to think of something and hesitated. "I just added the person named Simon on WeChat.
Zhang Heng nodded.
"Why? Do you know each other?" a girl with a single ponytail behind Shen Xixi asked.
"I always thought we knew each other, but now it seems that we don't really know each other," Shen Xixi said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth before," Zhang Heng said. "I believe in you, but I can't trust the people around you the same way."
"I understand your concerns," Shen Xixi said. "After that incident, Huang Yu quit our team. But you can rest assured that the people I brought with me this time are all veterans who have been with me for a long time."
Shen Xixi then gave a brief introduction to the three of them.
The girl with a single ponytail was called Rabbit, and the boy with a buzz cut holding a flower pot next to her was called Li Bai.
After entering the house, the latter looked at the luxurious decorations in the room and was amazed. When he saw the wall that was splashed with plum wine, he looked regretful.
Shen Xixi, on the other hand, looked straight ahead, and quickly got into work mode. "The person who was hit by the Dreamland of Death is Han Lu?"
Zhang Heng nodded. "She hasn't slept for four days."
"That explains why this place is in a mess," the girl named Rabbit said.
"Where is she now?" Shen Xixi asked.
"In the bedroom. I told her about the situation, and she agreed to cooperate with us."
