Chapter 119 Hidden Nightmare (1/2)

Under the dark night, the girl was blankly looking at the world.

There was no one in that bleak, withered ground. There only seemed to be a 'tsktsk' sound echoing through the air, giving people goosebumps.

”Mr. Rhode? Marlene?”

Lize hesitantly took a step forward. She called on her comrade names in low voice, but she didn't hear any reply. Where was this? Why was she here? Lize didn't know the answer. She could only feel her heart beating fast and her breath getting unstable…

A drop of icy raindrops fell from the sky and onto her face.

It was raining?

Lize subconsciously touched the icy raindrops on her face. When she spread her hands, she found that her finger was covered with a bright red color. When she lifted her head to look up at the sky, she was stunned.

Above her, Marlene was looking at her with her wide eyes. Her body was being torn apart. Countless Wind Snakes were tearing her body apart with their sharp fangs. Marlene was hanging up in the sky like a broken puppet. Her hands were dangling and blood was flowing down from her fingertips, slowly dripping to the ground. Beside her, only Rhode's head was left. His head was pierced by the Wind Snake's sharp fangs and the light in his eyes were long gone. At that moment, Lize found out that the things that were blocking the sky weren't clouds, but a pile of Wind Snakes. They didn't stop fluttering their wings while greed and desire glittered in their green eyes. The darkness before her seemed endless.

The sound of the fluttering wings gave off a heavy pressure.

”Marlene!! Mr. Rhode!!”

Lize shouted out loud. The feelings of fear and sadness pierced through her heart. Her body trembled, even the scene before her became blurry. The Wind Snakes that were enjoying their meal seemed to hear her shouts. They screamed and rushed toward her like a locust. It was too late for her to lift her right hand. In the next moments, she felt their sharp fangs pierce through her throat…

She opened her eyes.

She was blankly staring at the tent in front of her and finally recovered. She turned around and saw Marlene was sleeping beside her. From her smile, it could be seen that she had a good dream.

”It's a nightmare… It's only a nightmare…”

Lize was relieved. She finally realized that both of her hands couldn't stop trembling. The things that happened in her dream were too real; even now, she could still remember the faces, the blood. It was really disgusting…

”Ugh…!!”

Thinking until here, Lize felt an irreducible nausea. She quickly covered her mouth and went outside the tent. She crawled next to the gully and vomited.

”Uaghh…”

Crawling on top of the stones, her body felt weak. She couldn't stop trembling. The cold wind blew and made her shiver like a rabbit feeling cold. Even so, she was still unable to forget the nightmare from before. It seemed so real. She subconsciously touched her throat and the scene of her throat being pierced by the sharp fangs once again flashed through her mind.

”Ugh…”

Lize looked down.

Why did it turn out to be like this? Didn't I get over it? I should feel okay, Mr. Rhode also said that I'll be okay. But I also don't know why… It's only a dream, Lize, cheer up. That kind of thing won't happen again. You must remember, don't be afraid, don't be afraid…

Lize tightly held her hands and didn't stop talking to herself. However, her body was trembling even more; the coldness had pierced through her body. Her body that was breaking in cold sweat at first had completely turned numb, no longer listening to her command. At the same time, she felt really tired. She closed her eyes and fell into sleep…

At this time, a voice suddenly pulled her back to reality.

”Sister Lize, what happened?”

Lize lifted her head. She saw that Lapis was pulling her cloak, carefully walking out of the tent while looking at her. When she saw her, she seemed surprised, so she quickly got out from the tent and ran towards Lize.

”Sister Lize, what happened? Are you okay? Should I call…”
