Why am I here again? Yet another world full of ruins had come. The place was littered with rocks and debris, as if it was the end of the world.

Bai Zhijin blankly stared at a black garbage bag on top of the ruins. The corner of the trash bag was pressed down by a piece of concrete fragment. It struggled in the air in a futile manner, as if it was whimpering. His gaze shifted to a distant place. There was a dilapidated little house there, and it looked shaky, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

All of this was so strange and familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Where had he seen it before? Bai Zhijin slapped his forehead with all his might, but he could not recall anything. The memory storage area in his brain seemed to be damaged, and he was unable to access it no matter how hard he tried.

Suddenly, Bai Zhijin heard a series of faint wails. The sound was not very clear, as if it came from a distant place. However, Bai Zhijin was very sure that it was a woman's cry. "Because he had heard it before, and he remembered that it would get louder after a while.

Sure enough, the sound grew louder, as if an invisible hand had turned up the volume. He could now confirm that the voice was coming from the run-down hut.

The outer walls of the cabin were peeling off in places, making him look like an old man who had gone through many trials and tribulations. The miserable cry sounded out again, causing Bai Zhijin's heart to clench. He seemed to see a weak girl crying helplessly. Had a girl been imprisoned in that hut? Bai Zhijin was a very righteous guy, he wouldn't just stand by and watch without doing anything.

Bai Zhijin crouched down and approached the house carefully.

The wooden door was still missing a corner. Bai Zhijin gently pushed the door open. At this moment, the crying that had been lingering in his ears suddenly stopped, and all that was left in the air was the sound of his own heartbeat.

The room had no windows and was poorly lit. Bai Zhijin's eyes stared hard as he saw a white mass in the corner of the room. What is this? Could it be the crying girl? Was there anyone else in the house? Bai Zhijin looked around. Other than that white shadow, there was nothing else.

Bai Zhijin approached the white shadow. Perhaps his eyes had adapted to the darkness, or the light in the room had become stronger, he could clearly see the white shadow's true appearance. God, it was a naked girl. At this moment, the girl was shivering. She was facing the wall, her face hidden, only her fair skin, her seductive curves.

Bai Zhijin stepped forward and softly asked, "How are you?"

The girl did not answer. She just lay there like a corpse.

At this moment, Bai Zhijin felt his heartbeat start to quicken and his mouth became parched. He had never been so intimate with a girl before. This was a golden opportunity. Instinctively he turned his head to look at her, but there was no one else, so he leaned over and put his mouth to the girl's lips.

Bai Zhijin never thought that when his mouth was about to land on the girl's lips, the girl would suddenly flash, sit up, and then bite his neck at lightning speed. Before Bai Zhijin could react, he felt a sharp pain coming from his neck. And that sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body, as if every cell in his body was on fire.

Just as the girl was about to bite his neck, Bai Zhijin caught a glimpse of her face. Although it was only for a split-second, the girl's face was clearly imprinted in his mind: the round face, the skin as white as paper, the lost and empty eyes.

What was even weirder was that the girl's face was covered in blood, as if someone had pressed her head against the wall.

Ahh!" Bai Zhijin screamed in shock as he woke up from his nightmare.

However, Bai Zhijin's emotions quickly recovered. His face no longer showed fear, but a deep helplessness — this was a nightmare that he could not get rid of, a nightmare that had been haunting him for half a month. For the past half month, every night, the nightmare had always come on time. It would play again and again, waking him up again and again. He was about to collapse.

Just like before, after the nightmare, Bai Zhijin was unable to sleep peacefully. Rather than staying in bed in a daze, he might as well spend some time in front of his computer.

Bai Zhijin got off the bed and used cold water to wash his face. Only then did he feel more energetic. Looking at his haggard appearance in the mirror, he lightly shook his head.

After that, Bai Zhijin turned on his computer and turned on the movie Song of Ice and Fire, which he had been chasing. He was immersed in the grand conflict and temporarily got rid of the world.

Less than half a year after graduating, Bai Zhijin was unable to find a suitable job, so he found a job as a courier at random. Every day, he would ride his bike through the streets of the bustling city. As online shopping became more and more developed, working overtime became a common occurrence, and he often worked late into the night. For the sake of accommodation, Bai Zhijin rented a small room that was over ten square meters near the office. He didn't know why, but in the past half month, he had suddenly been caught in this nightmare.

While Bai Zhijin was watching the movie, a clear knocking sound came from QQ, which was the ringtone for the news about his close online friend, "Withered Leaf". His QQ was automatically logged in with the system.

Speaking of this Withered Leaf, Bai Zhijin's heart was filled with warmth. They had known each other for over a year. They could even write a novel with a million words if they talked. And they all considered each other as good friends who could talk about anything. Whenever he had something on his mind, regardless of whether he was happy or sad, he would share it with the Withered Leaf, and the Withered Leaf would share it with him. What made him more convinced was that even though the two of them were both in Jianghai City, they still remained mysterious — they never met, never talked to each other via video. However, even though they had never met, Bai Zhijin still felt that the Withered Leaf was the other half that he had been searching for.

Bai Zhijin tapped open the Withered Leaf Butterfly's portrait, and a paragraph of text popped out: "Why aren't you asleep yet? You have to rest early, it's not good for your health to stay up late. "

Bai Zhijin was touched. He typed on the keyboard, "I had a nightmare. I'll be fine after a while."

"What nightmare have you had? Can you tell me about it? "

Bai Zhijin paused. He also wanted to find someone to pour out his feelings to, so he told the Withered Leaf in detail about the dream that had been tormenting him for days. During this time, the Withered Leaf didn't speak a word, and Bai Zhijin seemed to be playing a solo role.

"Withered Leaf? Are you listening? "

"I'm here. I even saw the girl you were talking about. "Wait a moment, look at her, is this what she looks like?"

With that, the Withered Leaf sent over a picture.

Bai Zhijin was instantly "petrified". God, this was the girl she'd seen in the ruins. However, it was not an image of a face covered in blood, but a delicate and pretty face.

The girl's eyes were empty and lost, but there was an irresistible attraction that made Bai Zhijin unable to look away. Suddenly, Bai Zhijin felt that something was wrong. He looked again and saw that the girl's eyes had slowly turned into a black hole. The black hole grew larger and larger, as if it had a powerful attraction. It sucked everything around it in, even the items outside the monitor. Bai Zhijin watched as the paper on the table floated up into the air and was sucked into the monitor. He tried to run away, but he couldn't move, as if the air around him had frozen.

Then, something even more horrifying happened. Bai Zhijin felt a strong force pulling his body up. Bai Zhijin suddenly felt as if his body had become a light feather. His body involuntarily flew up, slowly flying towards the "Black Hole of the Eyes" on the monitor.

When Bai Zhijin was about to be sucked into the monitor, he saw a shocking scene — his body was sitting motionlessly in the chair in front of the computer.

What was going on? His soul had left his body? Was it the soul that was sucked into the monitor?

Before he could think too much, Bai Zhijin was completely sucked into the monitor by the "Eye Black Hole". He found himself being sucked into a dark tunnel, surrounded by a suffocating darkness.

After an unknown period of time, light appeared in front of her eyes once more. Bai Zhijin discovered that she had actually arrived in the ruined world within her dreams. At this moment, his weight seemed to have recovered and he fell to the ground. Luckily, he fell on top of a pile of trash that was covered with plastic bags.

Am I dreaming? But why was everything here so real? The wind had clearly hit his face, and the rubble on the ground had turned hard when he stepped on it.

Suddenly, Bai Zhijin saw a yellow bear. It was a half a meter tall fluffy bear, and its entire body was a cute beige color. At this moment, the cute little bear was thrown onto the ice-cold rubble. Poor little bear, who left you here? Bai Zhijin thought as he inadvertently picked up the little bear and held it in his arms. Weird, why does this feel so familiar? Why did it feel like something was missing?

What was missing?

Bai Zhijin suddenly remembered. It was a Happy Birthday Song... He suddenly remembered, this little bear was his birthday present. This was his sixteenth birthday present, given to him by his Prince Charming, Gao Ge. That was how he'd hugged it and sang his birthday songs with his friends.

No, that's not right!

I'm a boy, how could I receive such a gift, how could there be a Prince Charming?

At this moment, a strange scene appeared. "When Bai Zhijin saw himself standing in front of her, it was as if he was looking into a mirror." The man in the mirror was expressionless, as if he was a statue. God, there was someone inside him, a girl, pale and smiling. Heavens, isn't this the round-faced girl from my nightmare?

Had he been possessed by this ghost?

Bai Zhijin's scalp tingled at the thought of a female ghost hiding in his body. His strong fear made him nervous. He crazily beat his body, as if he could drive away the female ghost that was attached to him. Bai Zhijin punched from his chest all the way to his abdomen, unleashing his full strength in every punch. After the self-mutilation, all the bones in his body seemed to have broken down, and every single pore in his body began to feel a burning pain.

Then, all of this turned out to be useless. Bai Zhijin saw that although the "mirror person" in front of him was riddled with injuries, the ghost girl was still inside his body. It seemed that the "mirror person" was one with him. If he attacked him, the "mirror person" would also be injured.

Then why did the ghost girl keep "hanging on" to him? Was it because his body had been injured? Bai Zhijin ruthlessly picked up a glass shard from the ground and ruthlessly stabbed it into his stomach.

Bai Zhijin only felt an ice-cold thing pierce into his body. Following which, a heart-wrenching pain came from the wound. This time, the ghost girl seemed to have been stabbed. She stopped grinning and started to scream in pain.

So it turns out that you also feel pain.

Bai Zhijin coldly smiled. However, his sense of victory didn't last for long before everything in front of him started to turn blurry. An irresistible pain caused his consciousness to blur.
