Chapter 94 – Nightmare

Chapter 94 – Nightmare

The Secret Realm "Nightmare" is different from the Night Cave Ghost Ridge; it’s a plot-driven Secret Realm with only one boss inside.

However, if you want to meet it, you have to find it on your own.

You need to follow the plot clues inside, gradually find the boss, and then eliminate it.

But many players lose their sanity during the search, attempting to alter the plot, and even when facing the final boss, they can't bring themselves to act.

Yes, the plot of "Nightmare" is very tragic. Everyone who clears it for the first time comes out crying.

In the previous life, "Nightmare" was also rated as the most infuriating and heart-wrenching plot-driven Secret Realm, with extremely high ratings.

Someone once said, if you think your life is bleak, clear "Nightmare" once, and you'll realize how lucky you are.

After Lin Jichen stepped into the Secret Realm, he arrived at a small town. The town looked picturesque, with small bridges and flowing water, exuding an ancient charm.

It was still daytime, and the people in the town were normal, living peacefully, working at sunrise, and returning at sunset. Everything seemed natural.

There was no hint of the terror suggested by the word "Nightmare"; instead, it felt like a beautiful resort.

This was completely at odds with the title of the Secret Realm.

Lin Jichen knew what was going on. As a reborn individual, he was naturally familiar with this Secret Realm and had cleared it many times before.

However, it had been a long time, and he had almost forgotten. Coming back to this Secret Realm again, he felt a bit nostalgic.

Lin Jichen was not in a hurry to clear it but quietly experienced this tragic Secret Realm that had made countless players cry.

Before long, an outsider's carriage entered the town, and a beautiful woman got off.

The woman was dressed in silk and satin, with a decent appearance, seemingly a lady from a wealthy family.

After getting off the carriage, the woman was polite and well-mannered, treating the town's farmers and villagers with courtesy and a smile.

Anyone would have a good impression of such a woman.

The woman's name was Wan'er. She was not here for sightseeing or lodging but to buy a child.

Wan'er was infertile and had always wanted to adopt a child for her husband, who was a soldier. Her husband was very supportive.

Wan'er sought out sellers. This small town was not a proper town; it thrived on child trafficking.

The women in the town were responsible for giving birth, and the men were responsible for selling the children. It was a black market industry.

Although Wan'er knew this transaction was filthy and illegal, she was desperate to have a child with her husband.

So she mustered up the courage, brought her servants and money, and came to this town to choose a child.

The town mayor had communicated with her earlier, so he warmly led her to make her selection.

Inside the house, Wan'er had already woken up.

Desperate cries came from inside, moving anyone to want to rush in and save her.

But Lin Jichen still didn't move.

Time seemed to fast forward, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed.

For Lin Jichen, it felt like only a few seconds.

Wan'er's voice was hoarse from shouting, her tears dried up, like a walking corpse.

Seasons changed, and a year passed.

Wan'er actually gave birth to a child.

The baby was taken for identification right after birth.

"Hahaha! It's mine! She's mine!"

A one-eyed man stood up excitedly.

The other men looked envious.

"Damn, didn't expect it to be the one-eyed guy's."

"This guy is notoriously brutal. That woman might not survive a few days with him."

"Such a bummer, only had her for two days."

"One-eyed guy, go easy on her, leave us some scraps."

The one-eyed man sneered, "You think you'll get any scraps from me? Dream on. Watch how I play with her!"

He then grabbed Wan'er by the hair and dragged her to his house.

She tried to escape, but as soon as she stepped out the door, the one-eyed man pulled her back.

If Lin Jichen were a new player, he would have already drawn his sword and slaughtered everyone in the town.

But he didn't move.

Because if he did, the Secret Realm would fail.

And no matter how he tried to change it, he couldn't.

Because this is a dream, he is inside someone's dream.

This is, Nightmare!
