Chapter 122 Illusion
She wasn't actually sleeping very soundly, so when there was a knock on the door, she opened her eyes immediately.
There were no windows in the dormitory facing the corridor, so she had no way of finding out what was outside the door.
In the darkness of the room, Gu Chaoxi heard Pei Yan's slightly steady breathing.
He was sleeping soundly.
But the thing outside seemed to know that Gu Chaoxi had woken up, and the knocking on the door became more and more urgent.
He seemed very anxious and angry, and even his strength increased.
She tilted her head and felt the door vibrate.
Pei Yan didn’t wake up?
Gu Chaoxi sat up and frowned unconsciously.
She threw back the quilt and got out of bed, rubbing her way towards Pei Yan's bed in the darkness.
The breathing sound came from the bed. She touched the direction of the sound and her fingers fell on Rouran's pillow.
nobody?
Almost instantly, she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
How is it possible that there is breathing but no one is there?
Unless, what I feel now is another space.
Turning her head to look towards the door, although she couldn't see anything, Gu Chaoxi felt that something outside the door was laughing at her.
His feet felt weak and Gu Chaoxi retreated towards his bed, trying to get away from this strange feeling.
Tiny vines grew out from the ground, wrapped around her legs in circles, and the barbs pierced into her legs mercilessly.
She looked down, and everything in front of her slowly lit up.
Green vines were climbing all over his calves, and clusters of vines were sprouting from under his feet and spreading to the sides.
A huge shadow slowly rose from the ground in front of him.
She turned around and the light behind her became even brighter. A girl was standing in the light.
With the light behind her, she couldn't see the girl's face, but she saw her hair flying like the devil's claws.
There was still violent banging on the door behind me, and mumbled words were heard.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
"Open the door if you don't want to die!"
"Open the door..."
The pain in her leg was so clear that she struggled to take a step back, knelt on one knee, and pulled the vine off her leg.
Her skin and flesh were all stung, and the intense stinging pain made her brain dazed for a moment.
Without looking at his calf covered in blood, Gu Chaoxi stood up and walked towards the door.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
The thing was roaring, and the whole door began to tremble.
The woman behind her moved a little towards her, and a huge shadow followed and climbed onto the door panel.
She stood in the woman's shadow.
Turning back, Gu Chaoxi looked at the woman.
Her face was blurry and her orientation was completely unclear.
The vines on the ground extended towards Gu Chaoxi. She lowered her head and stepped on them without hesitation.
Her back was already leaning against the door, and she frowned, a little impatient.
"shut up!"
According to the school motto, you are not allowed to leave the dormitory at night during bedtime.
She hasn't forgotten yet!
Do you want to force her to make a choice in this way?
She is not.
Lowering his head, Gu Chaoxi took a deep breath.
Since it is confirmed to be just another space, then...
As the woman in front of her got closer, she suddenly raised her head, raised her fist and rushed forward.
She was quite fast, and her fist flew towards the woman's face like the wind.
The vines on the ground seemed to want to protect the woman, and they immediately grew upwards like snakes.
But Gu Chaoxi was faster after all and hit the woman so hard that her head turned away.
Seeing that it was indeed effective, she felt more certain, but at the same time, she was also worried.
If everyone experienced this kind of hallucination, she was not sure how many people could come out of it alive.
Not allowing her to continue to be distracted, the vines attacked her.
Gu Chaoxi dodged and rolled on the ground, leaning against the wall.
Although it is an illusion, its scope is still limited to this dormitory and the location is not very large.
Fighting in a space like this is still not enough.
She reached out to hold on to the wall to stand up, but her foot kicked the bedside table.
Nightstand?
She looked down and saw a drawer on the bedside table.
Bending down, Gu Chaoxi pulled out the entire drawer.
"Clang."
Half of the drawer fell to the ground, her hand clenched the drawer handle, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
When she stood up again, the drawer was already in her hand.
The woman was angered by her, her hair flew in the air even more messily, and even grew longer and stabbed towards Gu Chaoxi.
She stretched out her smile and raised her right hand to swing the drawer hard.
The wooden board hit her hair with a "bang". In the woman's eyes, Gu Chaoxi's smile became even more intense.
"You have to take revenge when you have a grudge. You have no manners to pick on an innocent person like me."
While the woman's hair was being swung away by her, Gu Chaoxi jumped directly towards the woman.
He gathered enough strength in his right hand and smashed the drawer directly towards the woman's head.
The hair had obviously reacted and was stabbing towards Gu Chaoxi's back.
At the same time as the drawer hit the woman's head, the hair also pierced into Gu Chaoxi's body.
She vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground as the woman disappeared.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The pain in her chest made her cough uncontrollably, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
The pain from the wound made her brain begin to blur.
The light in front of her eyes began to disappear, and she seemed to be back in the dark dormitory.
The whole world quieted down, and Gu Chaoxi once again felt Pei Yan's steady breathing.
"Pei Yan!"
she shouted.
"bump."
The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Then she heard Pei Yan gasp slightly.
"Chao Xi?"
Pei Yan gritted his teeth, tried his best to endure the pain in his thigh, and reached out his hand forward.
Gu Chaoxi was lying on the ground in the middle of the dormitory, and his hand touched her shoulder.
She smiled, fortunately Pei Yan was fine.
"Chao Xi, are you okay?"
"It's okay, but my chest hurts a lot."
The wounds didn't seem to extend beyond the illusion. She had touched her chest with her left hand and there was nothing there, but the pain was still real.
Pei Yan supported himself with his hands and sat up from his knees, rubbing his thighs.
The pain was so real that when he rubbed it with his hand, the momentary numbness almost made him unable to bear it.
Gu Chaoxi lay there without moving.
She reached out and pulled Pei Yan's sleeve at his elbow.
"Pei Yan, are you really okay?"
"......fine!"
He took a breath and reached out to hold Gu Chaoxi's hand: "The ground is cold, get up first."
"Ah."
She clearly heard Pei Yan's breathing, but there was nothing she could do. After all, he didn't even have a wound on his body, so she could only bear it.
She was pulled up, moved back a little, and rubbed the bed.
"It should be a long time before dawn."
She thought about it carefully and it seemed that she fell asleep not long after hearing the midnight bell.
In other words, the bell is like a switch, and they will enter the illusion only when the bell rings.
"I'm a little worried."
She raised her eyes and Pei Yan was still in front of her.
He said nothing, but just squeezed her hand tightly.
"There's nothing we can do."
