Chapter 302: Gaze
The building blocks collapsed around Ah Fang. The haunted houses were pulled up from the ground. Ah Fang used the haunted houses to build his own death realm as if he were playing with toys.
The tiny body emitted a completely unfamiliar sound. The spreading shadow of the world wanted to tear him apart. Just as everything was about to spiral out of control, inside the endless darkness, twelve pairs of red eyes slowly opened. They turned to where Ah Fang was.
The bloodred cities stood in the black mist. Gao Ming and Ah Fang stood where the 13th city was. As a peal of mad laughter rang out, the will of the dead world was affected. The other eleven gazes moved.
The world consciousness that wanted to tear Ah Fang apart instantly pulled back. It crawled back into Ah Fang’s body like it was afraid of being discovered. The cap of the pyjamas fell down and covered Ah Fang’s face. Ah Fang’s expression was different from before. He did not look like a child but more like an old man who was half-dead. His face was covered in fear. He raised his head. His gaze skipped over his parents to focus on Gao Ming.
“You mustn’t let the twelve of them find me. You need to wake up! Whoever you are, you need to wake up!” Ah Fang’s voice was urgent and unfamiliar. He rapidly picked up all the toy blocks and shoved them back into his bag.
“Wake up?” Ah Fang’s words were similar to Lu Zang’s order. They both hoped that more people would wake up from the dream to see the real world. Sensing the tone in Gao Ming’s voice, Ah Fang became more afraid. He dragged the giant bag and ran through the haunted houses. The two doctors were worried and instantly chased after Ah Fang. When Gao Ming wanted to follow them, the corridor had returned to normal.
“The shadow world is a dead world. Who can manage to murder a world?” Gao Ming was reminded of the shadow world that expanded behind Ah Fang. There were twelve bloodred cities in that endless black mist. They corresponded to twelve pairs of red gazes. Any one of them could frighten the lingering will of the world. “The twelve cities in the mist are far from Han Hai. However, once they are mentioned, everyone can feel great pressure. They are unmentionable.”
From Ah Fang, Gao Ming gained more information. To gain the approval of the world, one had to wake up from the dream. This indirectly verified what Lu Zang and Question said. Han Hai was like an impossibly realistic dream.
“In this dream, everything has been arranged by fate.
