Chapter 467 - Plot Twist (1/2)

Chapter 467 Plot Twist

Zhang Heng wasn’t sure why Han Lu would say something like that. In retrospect, he realized that he wasn’t all that perfect too. Since he was a child, he had been a quiet person, and when compared to other children who liked to group up and play, he preferred to be alone, reading his books and properly allocating his time. Of course, it wasn’t some sort of mental illness he was suffering from.

When it came to emotions, he wasn’t all that different from his childhood peers. Once he got involved in the game, all his abilities began improving rapidly. However, his emotions fluctuated less frequently, allowing him to remain calm during a battle and always making the right choices. Unfortunately, it came at a price. He wasn’t sure if he could still be cla.s.sified as a human. Especially after this incident, he realized that his body had also undergone some changes…

Han Lu’s was done venting her anger after she tossed the bottle. After that, she sat on the ground while hugging her knees, seemingly in great despair.

Just then, Zhang Heng received another WeChat message. It wasn’t from Fan Meinan but the Stranger Things group.

(Are you there? Did your friend close her eyes?]

Zhang Heng was in no mood to reply to any messages, but seeing how the sender had actually messaged in the early hours of the morning, the person must have been paying close attention to this matter. Out of courtesy, Zhang Heng typed in a reply.

[It’s over for her. Thanks.]

[It’s over? Don’t give up. Maybe I can solve your friend’s problem.]

(What do you mean?]

The other person did not reply, sending a WeChat ID instead. Zhang Heng took a look at it and realized that it was Shen Xixi. It meant the person from the group who texted him should be Shen Xixi as well.

Zhang Heng added the WeChat ID with another phone number.

Shen Xixi didn’t say anything unnecessary, going straight to the point. (You are a player, right? I saw your previous message. However, you didn’t reply to us after that. Do you believe that we can save your friend?

(Have you people figured out a way?]

[It’s all less complicated now since you are a player. Even without us explaining that much, you must know how terrifying the Dreamland of Death could be. The worst thing is, we found out that it’s a frequently used item. We have been studying it for a long time.]

Before Zhang Heng could reply, Shen Xixi’s sent another message to him.

[I know what you’re about to say. The three major guilds and other players have also been studying the Dreamland of Death, but they haven’t gotten anything out of it so far. You really think we can achieve what they can’t?)

(Why not?] (Have you heard of Morpheus?] (Onirii, one of the three thousand dream G.o.ds in Greek mythology. How is the Dreamland of Death related to him?]

[No. So far, several theories have been circulating among the players on the Dreamland of Death’s origins. For now, most of them are leaning toward the idea that the Dreamland of Death is related to Hypnos. Hypnos is the twin brother of Thanatos, the personification of death. The sea nymph, Pasithea, gave birth to three children, who were also the leaders of the three thousand dream G.o.ds. One of the three happened to be Morpheus.

Shen Xixi pondered for a while before she replied again.

(Half a month ago, our people acquired a game item related to Morpheus. It allowed us to enter the dreams of a person. We still don’t know the Dreamland of Death’s mechanism, but judging from its name, it has something to do with killing the person in their dreams.)

(Name your price.]

[It’s not that valuable, being a D-Grade item. We thought of using it to deal with the Dreamland of Death, but the plan was never actually put into action. Hence, we don’t know what will happen in an actual situation. Even if we can enter the victim’s dream, I’m not sure if it might be too late by then. We have no idea what the dreamer dreams about as well. The worst thing is that we can find no Dreamland of Death survivors. There is simply no way to delve deeper into it even if we wanted to.)
