Trapped in that twisted, distorted alternate dimension, Wu Cheng's mental state appears extremely unstable. Shadows constantly roam around him, seemingly trying to consume him entirely. However, the most unbearable thing is the inner pain. Memories of the past surge like trapped beasts in his heart, pushing him to the brink of madness.
"No, it's not possible... this can't be real..." Wu Cheng mutters incessantly, gripping the lapels of his gray suit tightly, trying to find a shred of stability.
Suddenly, various sounds filled the space: crying, laughter, singing, and some unusual and unidentifiable commotion. The voices seemed to have crossed over from another world, causing unease and panic.
"Help... save me... please come and save me..." A faint female voice quietly entered his ears.
"Xiaoting?" Wu Cheng suddenly looked up and saw a figure. It was Li Xiaoting, wearing her usual white dress, with a warm smile on her face.
"Hurry... time is running out. Set me free..." Her voice was gentle but urgent.
Wu Cheng felt a wave of confusion and fear. Should he believe everything in front of his eyes? He was in great pain, partly from an undisclosed hurt, and partly from missing and feeling guilty about Li Xiaoting.
In the end, he made a decision, a decision that might make everything even more dangerous.
"Tell me, what should I do," Wu Cheng tightly held Li Xiaoting's hand, his hand trembling, but his face showing a hint of determination.
Li Xiaoting smiled, a smile that seemed to contain a thousand words. She pointed to an ancient Taoist temple, in front of which hung some talismans and wooden puppets of Mosina Goblinoid.
"Go in and find the answer. But be careful, it's full of trials and dangers."
Wu Cheng fell silent for a moment, then finally walked towards the ancient Taoist temple. He didn't know what he would encounter, but he knew this was a destiny he couldn't escape.
Wu Cheng slowly stepped into the hall of the Taoist temple, which was elegantly decorated with soft lighting. In the center of the hall stood a golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with a serene expression. The slowly rising incense smoke from the crimson incense burners on either side brought a sense of tranquility to the surroundings. However, in the center of the hall, there was a wooden box covered with talismans, adding an air of mystery and unease to the peaceful environment.
"How is this possible..." Wu Cheng was shocked by the sudden sense of peace. The pain of the imprint suddenly became more intense, unbearable, and he raised his hand, and the green light in his hand lit up again.
Under the green light, the hall transformed. The serene Guanyin statue turned into an indescribable terrifying creature, with tentacle-like limbs contorting freely and its dripping saliva contaminating the entire hall. These creatures were chewing on a body pieced together from countless human limbs, emitting a chilling laughter.
Next, the gaze fell upon a wooden box, which had now turned into a prison, containing Li Xiaoting. She, dressed in a white dress, was screaming incessantly from inside the prison, "Wu! Come and save me!"
Wu Cheng didn't hesitate and rushed towards the prison cell. At that moment, the alien creatures, which had been leisurely feeding, finally sensed the presence of the intruder and let out a chilling howl before charging at him. The alien creatures, with their teeth and claws bared, stumbled forward on their five uneven legs. Their tentacles seemed to be searching for a target, wildly reaching out towards Wu Cheng. However, Wu Cheng agilely executed a fish-like roll, successfully evading the creature's attack. The creature's tentacles smashed through the floor, creating a large hole. Due to its lack of coordination, it was unable to stand up again for the time being. Wu Cheng seized this rare opportunity and quickly ran towards the prison cell.
Upon reaching the cell door, he saw Li Xiaoting in tears, but with a hint of comfort in her eyes. "I knew you would come, I just knew it," she whispered softly.
"Quick, open the cell door!" Wu Cheng hurriedly took out a dagger and vigorously struck the lock. His heart was racing, feeling the pressure of fear, but his determination remained unwavering.
Xiaoting anxiously reminded, "Wu, you have to hurry!"
At that moment, the monster suddenly stood up again from the previous hole, preparing to launch the next round of attacks. Wu Cheng felt the imminent threat and stopped speaking, tightly gripping the dagger in his hand.
The sound of the monster's footsteps grew louder, the floor began to tremble, as if the entire world was being dominated by its presence.
Wu Cheng's sweat kept dripping as he struggled to pry open the lock with a dagger. The lock had already been pried open a bit, and with a little more effort, it would successfully open.
"Be careful!" Xiaoting's scream pierced the air as Wu Cheng, exerting too much force, lost grip of the lock, causing it to fall backwards.
Xiaoting's face lit up with a smile as she looked peacefully at Wu Cheng, "Thank you."
The monster was rushing towards Wu Cheng at a rapid pace, but his face was filled with joy. Because at this moment, he finally no longer felt regret, and he felt proud of his choice.
Just as the monster was about to collide with Wu Cheng, Xiaoting suddenly raised her hand. A dazzling light flashed instantly, and the monster let out a sharp scream, its body began to tremble, and then disintegrated into ashes, dissipating into the air.
The entire room returned to tranquility, and the light faded. Wu Cheng stood in place, breathing heavily, feeling the extreme moment of life and death just now.
"How...how did you do it?" Wu Cheng finally asked. Xiaoting's smile was like a gentle breeze, her voice carrying a soft but powerful warmth as it reached Wu Cheng's ears. "I simply responded to the call in your heart, so that we can overcome this nightmare together."
Wu Cheng's emotions finally collapsed, tears gushed out like a spring, and he cried out loud, as if he were a liberated child, no longer needing to hide his pain. His tears fell to the ground, creating a picture of sadness, but this time the tears were a symbol of relief.
Xiaoting gently embraced Wu Cheng tightly, soothing his emotions, "Wu, it's all over, you have succeeded."
In her embrace, Wu Cheng gradually stopped crying, feeling a tranquility he had never experienced before. The space around him began to disintegrate, and the terrifying Taoist temple gradually dissipated, as if it were the end of a dream.
However, this calm did not last long. Just when everything seemed to return to reality, suddenly, there was a huge change in the scene. Wu Cheng found himself in his home from ten years ago, and he couldn't help but stop crying in astonishment, feeling a strange unease rising in his heart.
Xiaoting still held him tightly and gently said to him, "Wu, have you forgotten?"
