"Hua hua hua …"
Lin Sheng flipped through the pages frantically, trying to find a clear page. But after flipping through the entire book, he could not find a clear page.
"Pa."
He dropped the book and returned to the bookshelf on the left. He quickly pulled out a book from the upper half of the shelf and flipped through it.
This time, he heaved a sigh of relief. This book was still clear.
"Thank goodness, this book …" Before Lin Sheng could exhale, he saw that the page in his hand had also become blurry.
The first half of the book in his hand was clear, but the second half was also blurry.
His expression changed. Even though he was in a dream, he could not help but feel a sense of urgency. He quickly flipped through the books on the shelf.
As time passed.
Soon, he flipped through dozens of books on the shelf and roughly confirmed the situation.
"Among the bookshelves, only the most conspicuous books on the left shelf are clearly visible. The rest are all blurry. "
Lin Sheng sat in front of the short table and fell into deep thought.
"And these books on the table, they are all clear. Especially this swordsmanship manual, even the details of the diagrams are extremely detailed … "
He quickly compared and found a problem.
Among these clear books, the swordsmanship manual was the clearest, followed by the stack of books on the short table, and then the most eye-catching books on the left shelf.
"Interesting …" Lin Sheng had a vague guess, but he did not dare to confirm it.
"There's no rush. I'll try to get out first and see what's outside this manor."
He was getting more and more interested in this dream.
He stood where he was and calmed his emotions.
Lin Sheng put down the book and slowly walked towards the door of the study.
Compared to when he first entered this place, his five senses could now clearly sense his surroundings.
The coldness of the air, the rebound of his feet on the ground, the friction of his clothes on his skin as he moved.
All these feelings made him feel that there was something wrong with this dream.
"This is not a normal dream … No dream can be so clear. No dream can repeat for more than a month! "
Lin Sheng was now sure that he had encountered an abnormality.
But since memories of his past life still existed, his tolerance and adaptability were far stronger than ordinary people.
"Clack."
The door leading to the living room was slowly pushed open.
Lin Sheng slowly walked out. He looked left and right, then slowly walked towards the door of the living room.
He walked to the exit door.
Lin Sheng looked up at the door.
The maroon door was made of some kind of metal, and its surface had a faint wood grain. From a distance, it looked like a red clock.
In the middle of the door hung a circular pattern with four different animals in a circle.
Lin Sheng did not know what these four animals were. They looked like cheetahs, but they had long serrated tails.
Above the door, there was a diamond-shaped pattern. It looked like a huge eye with a vertical pupil, staring at everything in the room.
Lin Sheng frowned and reached out to touch the edge of the door frame.
There were repeated letters on the door frame, forming a chain pattern that covered the entire door frame.
"This door … feels like it's guarding something." A strange emotion rose in Lin Sheng's heart.
But curiosity won over everything.
He stretched out his hand and held the door handle.
The cold handle was carved into the head of a black python, and its dark red eyes glowed faintly. He could even see the delicate scales on the snake.
He twisted it hard.
"Ka …"
The sound of the door opening could be heard as the door slowly opened.
A spacious forest filled with mist appeared in front of Lin Sheng.
There was a carriage path in the middle of the forest. It was surrounded by trees and extended into the distance, into the depths of the mist.
Everything seemed to be gray and black.
Lin Sheng swallowed and slowly walked out of the door.
There were three wooden steps under his feet. They were stained with a faint dark red color, as if some paint had been splashed on them.
The steps felt soft when he stepped on them, as if they could collapse at any time.
"Creak, creak …"
After going down the steps, Lin Sheng stood in front of the door and looked around.
It was dark everywhere. Large patches of trees covered the night sky.
The color of the night sky was slightly brighter than the darkness, but it was not enough to illuminate the ground and the forest. He could barely make out the outlines of things.
Lin Sheng took a few steps forward. He felt his feet stepping on the soft muddy ground. He lost his balance and stopped.
"Puff … puff … puff …"
There seemed to be a faint strange sound coming from afar.
Lin Sheng raised his head and looked in the direction the sound came from.
There seemed to be something moving quickly in the hazy mist.
"Puff … puff … puff …"
The sound was rhythmic and slightly heavy.
"What is it?" Lin Sheng squinted his eyes, trying to see more clearly.
"Puff puff puff!!"
Suddenly, the sound became faster.
It sounded like a heart beating. It was the sound of a person's heart beating rapidly in panic.
Before Lin Sheng could react, he saw a tall black figure approaching him from the mist ahead.
The silhouette's speed was extremely fast. With a strange puffing sound, it madly rushed toward him.
"Puff puff puff puff!!"
The sound was getting closer and closer. It was not any other sound, but the footsteps of the figure!
Lin Sheng's pupils shrank. He took a few steps back.
"Clang."
He tripped on the steps and sat on the ground.
"Damn it!"
Before he could get up.
The figure suddenly sped up, moving faster and faster. It was like a fast-forward in a movie. There was still a long distance between them, but the figure had a strange and twisted posture. In the blink of an eye, it was already close.
"I!"
"Pu!"
Lin Sheng's body, which was halfway to getting up, suddenly froze.
His head flew up. Accompanied by a mist of blood, it hit the half-open door of the hall and rolled down. It slowly stopped on the wooden steps.
A pair of widened black eyes gradually lost focus …
The black figure held a heavy longsword in his hand. The tip of the sword touched the ground and stopped. Then, he slashed it forward.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
Lin Sheng's body was slashed and smashed. A large amount of blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
The sound of mud splashing could be heard. Soon, the body was no longer human. It was cut into several pieces and scattered on the steps.
…
…
"Phew! Phew! Phew! "
Lin Sheng suddenly opened his eyes. He felt an indescribable pain all over his body.
He was lying on the bed. His neck still felt the pain from being cut by the sword.
"I … am dead??"
The figure that was approaching him was like some kind of horrible monster. With a twisted and crazy expression, it slashed at him without hesitation.
Lin Sheng did not even have time to see the figure's face.
The immense pressure and the bone-chilling trembling caused him to be unable to move at the last moment. He couldn't even scream.
Lin Sheng instinctively touched his neck. He slowly sat up on the bed and leaned against the headboard.
There was no wound on his neck. But for some reason, he felt a slight pain in his neck.
Fortunately, the pain was slowly recovering at a speed that he could feel.
"This dream … what is it …?" Lin Sheng recalled the figure that was approaching him crazily. He shuddered.
