Chapter Twelve: Return

  ♂?,,

  After waking up from a nap, Fang Lin felt refreshed and spent another 20 points to directly purchase hot meals in the Nightmare Space, filling his stomach. He then went to the training room in the Nightmare Space for some physical exercise. With his strong willpower and exceptional memory, he managed to make another small improvement to his attributes!

  However, as it goes further back, the greater the potential of the body is dug up, the more difficult this improvement becomes.

  It was at this time that the nightmare mark on his chest appeared again, to be exact:

  Warning.

  You have lingered in the nightmare space for too long. With 2 hours and 28 minutes left before the 30-hour limit, please choose to enter the nightmare world or return to the real world.

  Fang Lin was stunned, could he actually return to the real world? Under the guidance of the imprint, he came to a small door on the west side of the space. After entering, it was like an elevator, and after the door closed, a sealed space was formed. There were red lights flashing above, and soon information was transmitted into his mind.

  "Equipment obtained in the Nightmare World has been forcibly removed and stored in your private space."

  "In the real world, whether actively or passively, it is impossible to reveal any information about the nightmare world to ordinary people."

  "Special skills acquired from the world of nightmares, try not to use them in the real world."

  "After leaving the Nightmare World, you can re-enter again after 7 days."

  "When the Nightmare Seal is activated, you must return to the Nightmare World within 24 hours to receive your mission. To return, focus your mind on the Nightmare Seal as you descend the stairs."

  "Time in the dream world is not synchronized with the real world."

  Although this information does not mention what would happen if these rules are violated, the severe and cold intention is evident. Fang Lin only needs to think of Wan Qiang's and Wan Lao Er's outcome to absolutely not want to try the consequences of violating orders. After the message was sent, the small door opened again, and a staircase leading upwards appeared in front of Fang Lin. He took a deep breath, stepped slowly up the stairs, and soon bright lights appeared before his eyes. After climbing another floor, he suddenly found himself in the "Qí Xiāng Wèi" hot pot hall!

  He was secretly amazed in his heart, when suddenly the team leader Ah Mei shouted and ran in from outside, saw Fang Lin standing here, and without regard for Ping's reserve, she grabbed him with a frightened cry:

  "Wan Qiang! Wan Qiang got drunk and ran out by himself, only to be hit and killed by a car!"

  Fang Lin's heart sank! Wan Qiang was clearly dead in the Dream Demon Space, and now his death must be a reasonable excuse for him to seek something in the mortal world! If he had died in the Round Table Warrior's world, then the two people who were hit by a car now would probably be two miserable souls!

  He deliberately glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and in the world of nightmares, he had been stuck for almost a week. But in the real world, only half an hour had passed. However, the abundant energy all over his body, the agility and speed of movement, as well as the tattoo on his chest that was often invisible, were clearly reminding Fang Lin that it was not a dream! It was a harsh but hopeful reality!

  Fang Lin's mouth corners slightly rose, and he gently pressed his temples with his fingers. This was a habitual action he had developed from his severe migraines in the past. He had already begun to formulate a plan to strengthen his body in his mind.

  ……………

  Because his physical quality had been strengthened before, relying on a few books bought at the bookstall, such as "Quick Mastery of Sanda", "Taekwondo Guide", Fang Lin managed to master the basic skills of punching, palm and grappling within two weeks, reaching level 1. However, he soon realized that in order to improve further to level 2 through practice, unless there was some special encounter or guidance from a master, relying on his own random exploration would take several years!

  However, he was delighted to discover another thing, that is, when chopping the ribs, although he couldn't directly activate the real cutting technique, every time the "flash of inspiration" appeared, a few knives would chop the ribs into regular pieces, and the blue bar representing the real cutting technique skill level experience would rise slightly, although it only appeared once in a hundred times. Nevertheless, Fang Lin swung his knife tens of thousands of times every day, and under the accumulation of small amounts, this also became a great opportunity for training.

  Just as Fang Lin was enthusiastically chopping bones, dozens of cases of vomiting and diarrhea suddenly broke out in the city. It had just passed the [***] festival, and people were terrified that it was cholera, so all restaurants in the city closed for rectification. Although Qi Xiangwei's business was booming, how could there be intact eggs under a destroyed nest? Old He's expression was naturally brilliant, but he had no choice but to announce a holiday.

  This way, Fang Lin had nowhere to go, but he also had something to do - analyzing and studying the materials he had collected about the Nightmare World. Because he discovered that the blueprint of the Nightmare World was largely changed from the arcade game Red Fire! As a result, others could see that this guy who often skipped class seemed to have become obsessed with games again, devouring gaming magazines all day long. Shaking their heads and sighing, they didn't know that Fang Lin was making his greatest effort to survive!

  Today the sun was shining brightly, and their dormitory was located on the top floor. There wasn't even a layer of insulation above it, and to make matters worse, there was a power outage. A small bedroom was packed with eight people, making it feel like a steamer. As a result, someone suggested going for a swim.

  The suggestion was immediately responded to, and the hot summer days were easily endured. However, he adhered to the principles of "ordinariness" and "not standing out", and followed the crowd to rush to the school's swimming pool.

  This city has always been one of the top scorers in terms of high temperatures throughout the country. The scorching heat is steaming up from the ground, and although the sun isn't that big, it seems like there's an extra layer of dark gray clouds filtering out its brightness. All that's left is a thick, suffocating heat that clings to your skin with sticky sweat, making you feel like there's nothing more exciting than taking a refreshing dip in a sparkling swimming pool.

  Unfortunately, Fang Lin didn't think so.

  He hesitated for a while beside the pool paved with black and white marble tiles, always hesitant to wade into the water-blue pool in front of him. For some reason, from his childhood to now, he had an innate fear of water, although the swimming pool in front of him was of high standard even at the national level. Equipped with high-end air conditioning and sound-absorbing panels, as well as automatic circulation filtration system and automatic water control system, automatic constant temperature device, all personnel are available, but for some reason, he still has a repulsive desire from the bottom of his heart.

  The pool was already crowded with people everywhere, both men and women.

  He took a deep breath, recalled the movements of others jumping into the water, and with a "splash" he jumped into the water in front of him.

  Two minutes later, Fang Lin climbed up with a great deal of difficulty, his head spinning and his body staggering. As soon as he entered the water, his heart became extremely anxious, his hands and feet moved wildly, and his breathing was disordered. Unintentionally, he forgot that he was in the water at this moment, and he actually swallowed several mouthfuls of water, coughing violently. He felt like he was surrounded by a vast expanse of white water flowers and bubbles, with no edge or boundary anywhere. He tried to keep his body upright, but his two feet kicked wildly and swayed back and forth, unable to touch the bottom no matter what.

  At the moment of chaos, Fang Lin's left hand suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he immediately came to his senses. He must have bumped into the edge of the pool. At this time, he couldn't care about the pain anymore, so he quickly grasped it with force, stabilizing his center of gravity. After floating out of the water and panting for a while by the side of the pool, he only felt that his hand was burning with pain. When he lifted it up to take a look, a big piece of skin had been scraped off, and his ears were still buzzing, probably because a lot of water had entered them.

  The roommates next to him burst out laughing, and the eldest in the dormitory, Geng Qiang, with a surname that sounded very good, suddenly rushed over and grabbed Fang Lin, pulling him towards the shore. His intention was just to play a joke on him. Fang Lin also lost his balance suddenly, flailing wildly in the water, when he suddenly felt something solid in his hand, as if there was something he could grab onto, and instinctively grasped it tightly.

  Generally, people who can't swim know that once they lose their balance in the water, they will naturally feel a little flustered. So Fang Lin's grab was an unconscious use of force. Immediately, he heard a sharp cry in his ear, and he hastily let go of his hand, but saw that the face of a girl in front of him had turned bright red, covering her chest and crying in pain.

  He immediately came to his senses, understanding what had happened, and realized that his unconscious grasp earlier had pinched the girl's vital parts, and at the time, he had used a bit too much force, at least leaving a large bruise. But in this situation, could he still ask her to expose herself for examination?

  Encountering this situation, Fang Lin naturally felt somewhat apologetic in his heart. However, he knew that no matter how he explained it now, it would only get worse, so he could only say faintly:

  "I am Fang Lin from Class 204 of Civil Engineering Department this year. If you need anything, just come and find me."

  As he spoke, he climbed up the bank. His observation was very keen, and when he got up, he noticed that on the inside of the girl's thigh, there was a bright red birthmark like a plum blossom, which looked quite good against her fair skin.

  After this twist, Fang Lin didn't have the heart to swim anymore. When several roommates came back to the dormitory, they were laughing and joking around, constantly teasing him about it. Mao Wei saw that Fang Lin was still expressionless, looking at the collected materials, and patted him on the back with a sly smile:

  "How does it feel?"

  Fang Lin shot him a cold glance, but his heart suddenly felt an inexplicable flavor, and he felt a dryness in his throat. Although he was calm and composed, with a mental maturity that rivaled a 40-year-old middle-aged man, he was still just a young man under the age of 20, and his body was instinctively yearning for intimacy. This phenomenon is called "first love" among humans, but among beasts, it's simply a naked mating desire!

  Geng Qiang worriedly said:

  "That girl is a sophomore, named Hu Jia. I heard her father is the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and also serves as the commander of the Special Police Team. Many people are pursuing her, but it's likely that trouble has been stirred up today."

  Fang Lin listened silently, his eyebrows merely rising slightly.

  Suddenly, the door of the dormitory was kicked open! The iron door hinge was violently blown away, bringing wood chips to hit Mao Wei's head, making him cry out in pain, tears streaming down his face. Four or five tall and sturdy boys rushed in, with the leader coldly saying:

  "Who is Fang Lin?"
