Chapter 1001: Opportunity

Seeing the collapse around them gradually spreading to their own area, and hearing Luo Shan's question filled with obvious horror, Franca and Jenna looked at each other and decisively said to Luo Shan:

"Hurry and draw a door that can lead to the outside world!"

Obviously, they couldn't continue forward to find the elevator lobby and emergency exit anymore.

"Hmm!" Luo Shan nodded vigorously.

She turned her body, holding a fountain pen in one hand and a pencil in the other, and began to draw on the wall with a swish-swish.

At this time, Franca and Jenna discovered that the monster children born from the foreign pregnant woman and various things were swarming toward them.

They also seemed afraid of falling into the bottomless abyss, trying their best to avoid such a thing from happening, to the point of forgetting the goal of attacking the enemy.

Because they were very close to Jenna and the others, the monster children quickly reduced the distance between each other to two meters, and the figures of Franca, Jenna, and Luo Shan were reflected in the eyes of some of them again, and their fierce and violent desire to attack climbed accordingly.

Just at this time, a thick "ice wall" appeared before their eyes.

A crystal-clear ice layer enveloped Franca and the others in a hemispherical shape.

It was created by the "Pain Witch" Jenna.

Seeing the monster children, either square-shaped, or like small beds, or with lamp-tube heads, densely crawling onto the surface of the hemispherical ice wall, trying to shatter this obstacle in various ways, Franca felt that her trypophobia and anthropophobia were about to explode at the same time.

She condensed quiet and evil "Witch" black flames around her body, waiting for the moment the first layer of the ice wall shattered.

It was only seven or eight seconds when the crystal-clear and beautiful ice wall made a crisp shattering sound under the attack of many monster children.

Strands of black flames quickly flew out from near Franca and Jenna, drilled through the rapidly expanding cracks, and ignited nearly twenty monster children.

They all burned up, wailing and rolling in place, hindering the advance of many brothers and sisters, and igniting a circle around them.

Seizing this opportunity, before the hemispherical ice wall completely disintegrated, Franca and Jenna joined forces to create a second layer of ice wall, only ten centimeters away from the previous one.

"Done!" Luo Shan's voice sounded.

Franca and Jenna, while continuing to delay the approach of the monster children, looked toward the pattern on the wall with anticipation using their peripheral vision.

It was a lifelike door outlined by pencil marks and blue ink, with a doorplate on top of the door, on which the four numbers "1502" were written.

This was the door to Luo Shan's house, almost exactly the same as in Franca and Jenna's memories, only the color was different.

The current one was closer to a sketch!

Luo Shan pressed her thumb to the position corresponding to the door lock, letting the fake door on the wall make an unlocking sound.

Immediately after, she twisted the handle and pushed open the door to her own home that she had drawn.

Behind the door, the light was dim, outlining all the items in Room 1502, but they also appeared exceptionally illusory.

When the illusion gradually condensed into reality, Luo Shan's joyful gaze suddenly froze.

She saw her window collapsing, her balcony collapsing; they were all collapsing toward the deep abyss filled with thick darkness!

The door Luo Shan drew and the passage she established were also collapsing inch by inch, just like the environment on both sides.

"It won't work..." Luo Shan issued a sound almost like a murmur.

She cast her gaze, filled with hard-to-conceal despair yet overflowing with anticipation, toward Franca and Jenna, hoping they could come up with a new way.

At this very moment, the nearest collapse had swallowed the original corridor, letting the wooden double doors separating the two sides sway and fall.

This was already very close to Franca and the others.

Franca, through the gaps between the monster children, saw the bottomless thick darkness more clearly, and saw something that seemed to be hidden deep inside.

It was a giant human figure suspected to be wrapped in a cloak, or it seemed to be the cloak itself blown up by the wind.

Just by scanning the outline vaguely from a distant distance, Franca's inner fearful emotions exploded without warning.

The skin on her face then became translucent, and the flesh underneath squirmed, as if it had gained a certain life.

Franca instinctively, reflexively shifted her gaze and withdrew her eyes.

She suddenly had a realization:

What she saw just now was the thing Mr. Fool's subconscious or the Celestial Worthy's subconscious feared the most, the strongest psychological shadow!

That clearly wasn't suppressed by the dream's power level; if they couldn't escape and followed the corridor's collapse into the abyss, falling toward there, death might be the gentlest and most beautiful ending.

Franca shook her head fiercely, shaking out the small amount of "paste" that had blurred part of her thoughts.

While Jenna was using the third layer of ice wall to block the monster children, she took out the "Ice Amulet" and a mirror.

She said to Jenna and Luo Shan:

"Let's go through the mirror world; the danger hidden in the mirror world, no matter how terrible, won't be more terrifying than the psychological shadow at the bottom of this abyss!"

Of two evils, choose the lesser!

"Okay." Jenna didn't object, and Luo Shan, lacking experience, chose to trust her two companions.

The "Ice Amulet" in Franca's hand lit up with crystalline light rapidly.

The next second, Franca discovered that the glass surface of the mirror had become pitch black at some point, as solid as a rock, unable to penetrate inside.

"Can't get in... It's different from before the collapse..." Franca couldn't help but have a few feelings of despair.

Is it really necessary to fall into the bottomless abyss and face the strongest part of the great existence's psychological shadow?

"Can't get in?" Jenna's action of firing "Witch" black flames to ignite the monster children slowed down significantly for a second.

Luo Shan was stunned, her mouth half-open:

"Is there really no way at all?"

Hearing this sentence, Jenna gritted her teeth and created a new hemispherical ice wall.

The surface of the ice wall was quickly covered with various monster children, densely packed, less than a meter away from Franca and the others.

The corridor's collapse also reached this area.

Franca's thoughts raced, her gaze flickering twice:

"I still have a way!"

While speaking, she took out the black eyeball left by the resurrected female corpse Panatia and other auxiliary materials from the "Traveler's Bag":

"I will promote to 'Despair Witch' now!

"Exactly, I have been secretly influencing the monsters in this corridor with 'disease' just now, which can save a lot of time."

The monster children climbing on Jenna's ice wall and their companions behind them were all within three meters of Franca and the others, numbering close to a thousand.

"It's useless, the 'Despair Witch' is also suppressed to the Sequence 7 level now, and can't forcibly open the road to the mirror world!" Jenna instinctively refuted Franca.

She wanted to be calm, but was kept busy by the monster children who had broken the ice wall, and only managed to establish a new hemispherical ice wall at a distance of sixty centimeters from them.

Franca, while using the black eyeball formed by the resurrected female corpse's Beyonder characteristic to create more violent viruses, drank a bottle of healing potion, and reminded Jenna:

"You hurry and drink one too; Luo Shan drank one just now."

Then, Franca explained with a fast speaking speed:

"What's important isn't that I promote to 'Despair Witch,' but that every 'Witch' promotion will attract the gaze of the 'Primordial Witch.' I need her gaze!"

Seeing Jenna drink the healing potion, Franca helped support the defense line and asked back:

"Does Mr. Fool know the 'Primordial Witch'?"

"He definitely knows." Jenna answered without hesitation.

Mr. Fool's avatar had dealt with the Demoness Sect many times; he must be clear about the existence of the "Primordial Witch."

Franca glanced at the corridor that had collapsed to the transfer bed and said to Jenna and Luo Shan:

"Let's transfer to the middle and strive for more time."

The collapse progress on both sides of the corridor was about the same, but Franca and the others were clearly closer to one side.

Without waiting for Jenna and Luo Shan to respond, Franca suddenly withdrew her maintaining power for the ice wall and ran toward the middle section of the corridor ten or twenty meters away at her fastest speed.

Luo Shan ran even faster.

After the three determined their positions, Jenna condensed the ice wall again to block the monster children chasing after them, while Franca continued to spread occult pathogens around.

She explained with a fast speaking speed:

"Since Mr. Fool knows the 'Primordial Witch,' there must be an image in this dream corresponding to the 'Primordial Witch,' only we haven't discovered it yet, and a True God can directly enter the dream city.

"I promote here, and the real me will also promote accordingly. According to our experience, no matter what state the 'Primordial Witch' is in, whether the situation is good or bad, she will cast her gaze because of this.

"As a True God, it's not difficult for her to discover that my consciousness is in the real dream; she will highly likely project into it, and with the help of her own dream image, truly gaze at me who is promoting in the underground area of Dawn Hospital.

"She definitely won't risk descending here, and doesn't have the emotion and motivation to save me, but as the master of the mirror world, just the gaze itself will highly likely be able to open the channel between the mirror world and this area, and it's possible to make the danger hidden in the mirror world temporarily retreat!"

"This can't be guaranteed." Jenna blurted out, her tone anxious and confused.

This is the product of the great existence's psychological shadow and the "Mother Tree of Desire" abyss symbol, and there are more great existences who have projected a little power in; even if they are all suppressed to middle and low sequences, can the "Primordial Witch" in a bad state break the shielding of the mirror world just by gazing?

"There is no such thing as a hundred percent success, but not trying means inevitable failure." Franca responded quickly.

Jenna fell silent. She bit her lip, her voice trembling:

"This will cause you to be unable to leave the dream, and if the dream ends in a short time, you will die because of this..."

Franca, who was waiting for the occult pathogens to take effect, was silent for a while, and said as if gritting her teeth:

"Future things will be solved in the future!

"If we don't live now, there won't be a future!"

"But..." Jenna's voice suddenly choked.

Her spirit tried to grasp something, but couldn't grasp anything.

Franca interrupted her, teasing her own past childishness and love for fantasy with a complex expression:

"After killing the resurrected female corpse, obtaining the Beyonder characteristic and auxiliary materials, and knowing that the requirements for all rituals in the dream city would be lowered to the Sequence 7 level, I was thinking, is this, is this giving me an opportunity? An opportunity to stand out like a hero when everyone is in a desperate situation and there's no other way, take the potion, break through on the spot, forcibly promote, reverse the outcome of the matter, save everyone, save the world..."

Speaking of this, Franca's expression settled.

She looked at Jenna calmly, revealing a bright smile:

"Now, this opportunity has come."
