Chapter 87: Doubts crept into their minds.
Zhao Ren looked at Ji Ming in confusion. He didn’t remember feeling anything strange at all. Liora, on the other hand, was out of options—she had blacked out before the wave had even hit everyone.
So now, both of them stared at Ji Ming, watching as he sat there still mumbling strange things in his sleep.
Their silent gaze made Ji Ming begin to doubt himself. But no—he was certain he had felt something. Why the others hadn’t felt it, he had no idea.
"I think it’s a side effect of that rain... I still feel that searing headache, even though it feels like I’ve been asleep for days..." Liora said slowly. "So it must be... definitely the rain’s side effect."
"Wait—yeah! The rain! And we slept?" both Zhao Ren and Ji Ming exclaimed at once, looking at each other with horror.
They hadn’t even realized when they had fallen asleep. And not just any sleep—it had been deep and dreamless. Now they were only just waking up...
What happened to the rain? Did it just stop overnight? Something felt wrong. Too wrong. It shouldn’t have stopped so suddenly. It didn’t feel natural at all.
They hurried to check the gates, only to find them still intact. Everyone else also seemed unharmed and peacefully asleep. Some were beginning to show signs of waking.
It looked like nothing bad had happened while they were asleep, but both Zhao Ren and Ji Ming couldn’t shake off the unease. They had never experienced anything like this before.
