Time in a collapsing world

"——————"

Li originally wanted to take a few more glances, but an indescribable harsh sound suddenly broke into his mind. It was as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped into the ocean, and the calm sea instantly turned into turbulent waves. Naturally, Li's consciousness could not survive the impact unharmed.

feeling bad……

My brain is going to explode...

Li fell to her knees and covered her ears desperately, but to no avail. If it were in the real world, I'm afraid Li would have fainted and fallen to the ground, right?

Where does this noise come from? Is it the guy from before? Or some other existence?

Damn it, it appeared out of nowhere...wait, that crack?

Holding his head that was about to explode, Li barely opened his left eye a crack. This was already his limit.

"..."

It was at this moment that he saw a pure black palm almost touching his face. It was very close. If he had been slower, Li's entire face would have been firmly grasped by it.

"What... ghost?!"

Li was really frightened, and instinctively wanted to retreat, but her body was unable to move under the suppression of the noise.

"Tsk..."

Seeing that the hand was still approaching him at an extremely slow speed, Li gritted his teeth, took off the strength from his legs, leaned back slightly, and let his body hit the ground heavily for the second time.

Riko couldn't guarantee what would happen after being touched by that hand, he didn't dare to gamble. Although it hurt like hell to fall like this, it was finally out of the grasp of that hand. Moreover, perhaps because he was far away from the source of the sound, the noise disappeared.

Li didn't dare to let down his guard, so the moment the noise disappeared, he endured the discomfort in his head, forced himself to stand up, and quickly moved away from the suspicious black hand.

After arriving far enough to ensure safety, Liya calmed down and observed the entire hand.

It was not a separate palm, but connected to the arm. It was also pure black and extended from the crack. Li couldn't clearly see the owner of the arm behind the crack, or he didn't know if there were other forms of the arm behind it. Maybe it was just an arm?

Li kept making guesses in his mind, but did not go up to verify it. He was still worried that he would be grabbed around the neck and dragged in directly as soon as he went up.

Reaching where Li's face used to be, the dark arm grabbed hold of the air. Perhaps it realized that it had lost its target, so it stopped in place, its open palm slightly raised, and coincidentally it was facing the direction of Li.

Staring at that arm, Li didn't know why, but she felt like it was looking at her.

...There's no way it has an eye hidden in its palm, right?

Fortunately, the arm only paused for a moment, and then slowly retracted. It didn't take long before it returned to the invisible space outside.

That arm did not suddenly grow dense eyes as Li thought, which made him relieved but also a little disappointed. He still wanted to see a creature like Cthulhu, even if this was just a dream...

Thinking of this, Li was confused again. Is this really a dream? Can he really regard these strange things that happened in his dream as just a big dream and forget about them the next day?

If he had just been caught by that hand, could he really wake up again in the real world?

While Li was thinking, he suddenly felt as if someone had tapped him on the shoulder.

"Clap clap..."

"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking about something..." Li slapped away the hand that came from nowhere and continued to be immersed in thinking.

Maybe he can go out and ask Mebius. She is so smart, maybe she has learned some knowledge about dream interpretation?

"Clap clap..."

"I told you not to argue, I..." After his thoughts were interrupted for the second time, Liye became impatient. He felt that this person was really ungrateful. Didn't he know what politeness was?

Just when he turned around and wanted to scold it, a familiar dark hand suddenly grabbed the lower half of his face, blocking his nose and mouth except for his eyes.

"?"

"!"

"?!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Li stared at the arm that was firmly grasping him in front of him in horror, wondering why this thing suddenly appeared behind him.

However, looking behind his arm, Li saw a brand new crack appearing where his back was originally facing.

Were these cracks originally drilled out by this ghost? !

Li was careless and was tightly held by this hand. He was like a rabbit whose ears were held, and he couldn't dodge even if he wanted to.

In this case, let’s fight back! Even if he dies, he still has to bite a piece of flesh from this thing's hand!

Anyway, this is just a dream, yes, that’s right, this is just a dream!

Continuously constructing his mind mentally, Li stretched out his hands and used all his strength to break the fingers of the black hand, not outwards, but inwards. Li knew that he could not break free from the grasp of this hand, so he gave up his escape and concentrated all his efforts on trying to break one of the fingers into his mouth.

Just like what Li thought just now, I will bite off a piece of your flesh even if I die!

"Ok?"

Outside, Mebius, who was nearing the end of the operation, suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Li on the operating table.

His "blood"...is glowing?

"Tsk."

Mebius's hands moved faster, eager to end the operation before Li might have an accident!

...This guy is really disturbing!

In a dream.

Purple lines appeared on Li's right arm, and her bloodshot eyes were fixed on the little finger of the black hand that she had targeted. As Li continued to exert strength, the arm also began to tremble slightly. Apparently Li's sudden burst of strength also made it unable to withstand it.

"Give me...a bite!"

"Crack!"

Li, who burst out with strong power, successfully broke off... no, broke off the little finger of Kuro's hand. Taking advantage of the moment when it temporarily lost strength due to pain, Li stuffed it directly into herself through the gap between Kuro's hand and cheek. mouth and chewed quickly.

"Your little finger is really unpalatable..."

The inexplicable power in Li's body has disappeared, and now he is really powerless to fight back, but he still can't help but rub salt into the wounds of the black arm that is obviously in a state of rage.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

Sure enough, the strength of the black arm increased instantly, and the bones on both sides of Li's face made a cracking sound.

"This is a dream...you can't kill me."

At the last moment, Li was still comforting himself with these words. At this time, he could only comfort himself with these words.

"——————"

The noise was back, but not as harsh as before. Sure enough, the noise before was caused by this hand...

Li's increasingly distracted eyes were staring at this black hand with only four fingers, and she actually understood what it meant.

It is mocking, mocking itself for being so naive even when death is imminent.

Liya didn't want to be naive. He couldn't run away anymore. What else could he do except pray that nothing would happen to him in his dream?

Suddenly, the black arm seemed to have noticed something, and instantly increased its strength to the extreme, violently crushing the outermost bones on both sides of Li's cheeks, threatening to crush his entire head!

But it was still a step too slow. Li's figure in the dream actually became transparent and invisible at the last moment, and the black arm could no longer complete the final blow to kill Li.

"Did you wake up...?"

A relaxed smile appeared on Li's face, she tilted her head slightly towards the direction of the black arm, and used her last bit of strength to stick out a tongue.

"Little trash~"
