Mysterious Revival

Chapter 1170 - 1136: Escape from the Nightmare World

Sure, here is the translation:

"Hurry up, that dog is still chasing us."

At this moment, Liu and Lok Sheng were sprinting through the castle, gasping for air with expressions of terror. Behind them, a large black hound pursued them relentlessly, growling and snarling incessantly.

Several times they almost got knocked down by the evil hound, but at critical moments, a path would always appear before them, aiding in their escape, allowing them to evade the hound's attacks unscathed.

"Why are there only two of us left? Wasn't there someone else following us just now?"

"He got knocked down by another dog while escaping. He must have been bitten to death by now. It's just us two left. Didn't you notice there's one less dog behind us?"

They were still in shock, unaware of what had happened behind them.

Only when they finally managed to put some distance between themselves and the hound did they have the composure to pay attention to their surroundings.

The castle's layout was being altered continuously at this moment, with doors appearing around them, helping them bypass dangerous areas, take shortcuts, and shake off the pursuing hound.

The effect was quite effective.

"Bang!"

With the sound of a heavy door slamming shut, Liu and Lok Sheng successfully entered through the door, leaving the hound, due to the distance they gained, barred outside.

The evil hound howled and slammed against the door, creating a loud noise, the door shaking as if it might collapse at any moment.

Upon witnessing this, their eyelids twitched, feeling uneasy, thinking this door would not be able to hold the hound back. They could only muster the strength despite exhaustion and fear to run a bit further; not until they couldn't hear the barking did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems we are safe now. We successfully shook off that hound."

"I can't run anymore, I'm exhausted, I need to rest for a bit."

Seeing they were safe, the two immediately relaxed, collapsing onto the ground, gasping for air. However, compared to their physical exhaustion, what filled them with despair was the hopeless scene in the passage filled with hounds just now.

If not for the timely appearance of the door, they would have been torn to shreds by those hounds.

Yet even so, they lost two people.

"That Yang Jian is so insidious. He pretended for so long, only launching an attack after luring all of us out. Truly despicable," Lok Sheng couldn't help but curse out loud, though it couldn't mask the fear within him.

Gritting his teeth, Liu said, "There's something wrong with Yang Jian. This is the Nightmare World. How could he bring so many dogs into the Nightmare World? And did you notice, those dogs all look the same, like they've been stamped out of a mold. I even suspect they are just replicas of one dog."

"I already knew there was something wrong with him. I warned you before. This guy was likely fishing, suggesting you ignore him, just trap him here. But you didn't listen and insisted on trying to kill him. Now look what happened, we lost two strong ghost handlers and it's not over yet. Whether we can hold the castle in the Nightmare World is still a problem."

Lok Sheng realized the gravity of the situation.

"How dare you say that? First, you suspect Yang Jian is fishing, then you urge us to act promptly, constantly changing your opinion." Liu frowned, clearly displeased.

Lok Sheng said, "Cursing Yang Jian, dragging him into the Nightmare World, I've done enough. The rest is up to you. What's wrong with me warning you about Yang Jian? It's your fault for failing to assess the situation properly. It's got nothing to do with me. Besides, being a Captain Level figure, especially one famous in the supernatural circle, it's normal to have some cards up his sleeve."

"Even in the Nightmare World, you should've accounted for these things."

Liu understood that this operation mostly fell on his shoulders. Though he was filled with anger, he held it back, saying, "Now's not the time to blame anyone. We need to figure out how to get through this crisis. Did you hear that? There are dog barks around us again, more than one."

Lok Sheng listened for a moment, faintly hearing the sounds of barking around them.

"Yang Jian is sending his dogs after us. The castle is no longer safe with those evil hounds everywhere. If we show up, we're dead. The only way now is to leave the Nightmare World. Once we do, we can escape the hounds' attack."

"No matter how fierce Yang Jian's dogs are, they can only bully ordinary people in dreams. Once back in reality, our supernatural powers make a few dogs no threat."

Liu analyzed the situation and believed the best solution was to leave this place.

"You're right. We can only flee now. Staying longer would be death."

Lok Sheng struggled to stand up again: "We've rested enough. We need to continue escaping. We can't give Yang Jian too much time to search for us. Kelly, open another door and take us to a safe place."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A door immediately appeared on the wall beside them.

The door opened to reveal a conference room, the same one they had been in earlier, having circled the castle, ending up back at the beginning.

"Why bring us to the conference room? We shouldn't meet you here; it will attract those dogs," Lok Sheng said.

The foreign woman named Kelly still sat at the conference table and said, "There's no safe place left. The hounds are all over the castle, but they haven't found here yet. We're temporarily safe."

"You mean this is the only place we can stay now?" Liu's face changed slightly.

He didn't expect the situation to have deteriorated to such an extent. Such a big castle had no safe zones left.

How long has it been, and the hounds have completely occupied here already.

"We can't let Yang Jian find this place, or else you'll be bitten to death by the Evil Hound. Once you're dead, the Nightmare World will lose control, and our losses would be too great," Lok Sheng said.

It turns out that this foreign woman named Kelly is the one who has mastered the Nightmare.

However, her mastery is not perfect, or perhaps there's a flaw, causing Kelly to remain in the castle of the Nightmare World, unable to awake outside. The root of this issue lies in her failure to fully control the ghost in the Nightmare World.

"It's too late. All the dogs controlled by Yang Jian are coming this way. He's smart, progressively searching the castle and narrowing the search area. I can change the layout of the castle, but I can't alter its size, so it's only a matter of time before we're found," Kelly said.

"What should we do now?" Liu's face changed slightly.

Kelly said, "All I can do now is send you away, and then I'll find a place to hide, trying my best not to be found. Once you figure out how to deal with the dogs in this castle, you can come back. This is the best plan. What do you think?"

Lok Sheng said, "Indeed, that's the best idea right now. After all, you're trapped in the Nightmare World too, and it's impossible to leave here. Otherwise, if we could all leave this world, we could survive safely."

While they were talking, the sound of dogs barking was heard again near the conference room, and the number of sounds was gradually increasing. It seemed to have found this area, but they still didn't know the exact position of the conference room.

"You guys go first. Don't stay here any longer," Kelly immediately said.

"Okay."

Liu and Lok Sheng dared not delay. They were terrified of being bitten by the dogs, and now they were still haunted by fear. At this moment, they wished to leave the Nightmare World immediately.

They walked up to Kelly and placed their hands on her shoulders.

"Kelly, make sure Yang Jian doesn't find you. Hide in a safe place while we figure out how to handle Yang Jian."

The next moment.

Their forms gradually blurred, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the conference room.

Kelly is the source of the Nightmare World. Only by making contact with her can they leave. Otherwise, they'd be stuck here with no way out.

After the two disappeared.

Only the foreign woman named Kelly was left.

She appeared calm, not frightened by the barking dogs nearby.

However, she had to make some preparations and find a way to avoid the Evil Hounds because she didn't want to die in this Nightmare World either.

Down the empty corridor, Yang Jian was striding forward.

Several Evil Hounds prowled by his side, like loyal bodyguards protecting his safety in the Nightmare World.

"There's only this last area that hasn't been searched."

Yang Jian stared silently at a wall before him.

This seemed to be a dead end, but the layout of the castle could be changed. A path could appear where there was none, a door where there was none.

"The opponent has altered the layout here, sealing off all the routes, turning every way to this place into a dead end. But the more it is like this, the more it proves there's something wrong here."

Yang Jian glanced at the Evil Hounds beside him and ordered, "Break down this wall."

Without hesitation, the Evil Hound charged at the wall.

"Bang!"

A heavy thud echoed, and the wall before him shook violently with the impact. Several stones fell off the wall, but the Evil Hound was unharmed, shaking its body before standing up again.

"Continue," Yang Jian said.

The Evil Hound kept slamming into the wall.

The wall blocking the way quickly became fragile, not as solid as expected, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Yang Jian knew well that the Evil Hound seemed to be hitting the wall, but in fact, it was a supernatural intrusion.

The castle is a manifestation of nightmare phenomena, so the wall is not a real wall but a supernatural phenomenon.

The Evil Hound was now repelling this supernatural phenomenon, reducing the influence of the Nightmare World.

As long as Yang Jian ordered, the Evil Hound could even easily bite off a few bricks from the wall.

But only the Evil Hound could do this. Others couldn't, as the Evil Hound is a ghost with supernatural power, while others are ordinary people, unable to fight against the Nightmare World.

The sound of impacts echoed, and before long, the wall crumbled to the ground with a loud crash.

Behind the wall.

A spacious conference room appeared in view.
