Chapter 91: 69. Black curved hook

Translator: 549690339

In this Twilight Dream, Noland Lee doesn’t need to catch his breath, nor does he consume physical strength. Even after running for a long time, he doesn’t feel tired.

20 hours pass and he finally arrives at the mountain range beneath the mysterious figure. This journey has far exceeded his expectations. Along the way, he comes across three strange incidents.

First:

The slender object suspending the mysterious figure in the air is not the “rope” he had imagined.

To be precise, it is not wrapped around the mysterious figure’s neck. Instead, it is a pure black hook.

Noland Lee cannot determine its material, but he is certain that the black crescent-shaped hook pierces the figure’s chin, coming out from the top of the skull. The hook has penetrated the mysterious figure’s skull from bottom to top.

All of the figure’s weight is placed on the curved hook, and there is no other place for support.

If the mysterious figure is still alive, they must be suffering immense pain.

And this leads to the second strange incident Noland Lee discovered!

The mysterious figure has no clothing on their body. their muscles are withered, skin dull – the dried, darkening dirty blood spreads like a dark red river across the body from their skull.

The pierced, lower jaw is torn apart, the wound curled back, revealing dark red rotten flesh and clots.

The figure’s face is twisted in pain, with their eyes pale and lifeless, like those of a dead fish.

Despite all this, the mysterious figure is still not dead.

Every hour, their head would twitch as if trying to break free from the curved hook.

Each movement would cause the hook to sway, intensifying their pain.

The thunderous roar echoing in the sky is the result of their cries of sorrow and pain.

Noland Lee hears approximately 20 of these cries on this journey.

As he gets closer to the mysterious figure, each cry he hears is more powerful and mournful than the last.

The last cry he heard was 50 minutes ago, and another one is due in ten minutes.

At this moment, Noland Lee doesn’t hurry on his way.

He stops, hiding behind a rock, his golden figure secured in the crevice.

This action is in response to the third strange incident.

When the mysterious figure cries out, a powerful gust of wind is created.

In the dreamscape, Noland Lee’s body is a golden light ball.

He can feel sunlight and wind passing through his body, and feels a weak sense of touch when in contact with flowers, trees, and rocks.

This peculiar light ball is very light.

The gusts created by the mysterious figure’s cries are powerful enough to lift him up and throw him away in the opposite direction.
