Chapter 151: CH 151: Deadman awakened?
"Dave?" Tyler and Max chimed in unison, their voices overlapping in a comical harmony. The absurdity of the situation wasn’t lost on them, and they burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the room. Tyler’s eyes crinkled at the corners, and Max’s shoulders shook with mirth.
Lily’s face remained serious, her brow furrowed in concern. "Why will you dream of a dead man?" Tyler managed to choke out between chuckles. "Come on Lily, your dreams are wild."
Lily’s gaze didn’t waver, her eyes locked on her friends. "But it seems so real to me. I saw that he came here? What if he’s still alive out there somewhere?"
Max’s laughter began to subside, and he leaned forward, a patronizing smile on his face. "I doubt that is possible Lily, we all saw that meteor crash on him, and even us that were swept away by the force, we barely made it out alive. So how could Dave be alive?"
Tyler chimed in, his voice dripping with amusement. "And even if he was alive, he’s no match to any one of us." His words were laced with confidence, and he ticked off the reasons on his fingers.
"First, we have powers now, I doubt he has any. And even if he has, it’ll be some random weak power, maybe that beast taming thing that was mentioned by the television guy." He chuckled, a snort escaping his nose.
"Two, I’m the leader of a faction, before he could get here, he’ll have to go through a series of strong individuals, which I’m sure he would have lost to the first person on the first trial. Just as he always loses in swimming back then in high school."
The room erupted into laughter again, with everyone joining in, including Lily. However, her laugh seemed forced, a thin-lipped smile plastered on her face. She knew what she saw in her dream – Tyler, Max, and everyone else present – but none of them were laughing in the dream. The memory sent a shiver down her spine, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.
Lily’s mind was still reeling from the conversation, her thoughts consumed by the vivid images of her dream. And with how her dreams worked, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that it might come true.
