Chapter 1002: Gaze

Jenna looked at the smile on Franca's face, listening to her calm, slightly self-deprecating words, and her nose suddenly felt sour.

Her gaze swept across the monster children who were about to break through the latest ice wall, swept across the collapse that had swallowed the transfer bed and the nursing assistant, and she bit her lip hard:

"Okay..."

The words behind her were stuck in her throat, as if ice had turned into hot water.

She could only tell herself that future things would be solved in the future; there must be a way to solve it!

Franca estimated the time and began to mix the "Despair" potion with the black eyeball left by the resurrected female corpse and corresponding auxiliary materials. Jenna, while letting the wet feeling extend from the corner of her eye to the edge of her face, focused on blocking the approach of the monster children.

She no longer created her own "disease," leaving all these strange-looking targets to Franca.

—After the monster children were born, she was also secretly spreading occult pathogens.

Luo Shan, who was confused and terrified by the conversation between the two, also restrained her thoughts and added various patterns that could enhance defense to Jenna's ice wall.

Amidst the burst of light, those monster children couldn't shatter the ice wall in the shortest time and move further.

Behind them, the floor tiles of the corridor, the walls on both sides, and the ceiling above their heads were constantly collapsing, and the deep abyss with no visible bottom was getting closer to them.

After a while, some of the monster children coughed violently, coughing themselves off the surface of the ice wall and falling down; others had their bodies become stiff, unable to make smooth movements.

And those who were crowded outside the ice wall and separated from Jenna and the others by a few meters were finally caught up by the collapse.

They squeezed forward like a tide, but couldn't cross the bodies of their brothers and sisters.

They began to fall toward the thick darkness hiding unknown terror.

Intense feelings of despair radiated from them, rapidly spreading to their companions who were lying on the surface of the ice wall, their conditions gradually worsening.

It's now! Franca raised the bottle and brought the deep purple potion with churning rose-colored bubbles to her mouth.

She drank it without hesitation.

The potion had no taste, or rather, Franca could no longer distinguish the taste.

She only felt her spirit and thoughts falling rapidly into the lightless, closed darkness, falling toward the depths that didn't know where they led.

Something seemed to be summoning her there.

Trier, inside the luxury villa.

Franca, who was sleeping on the bed, still had her eyes tightly closed, but her hair floated up weirdly, gradually becoming longer, darker, and thicker.

"Justice" lady, who was guarding the villa's living room, sensed it instantly and "flashed" into Franca's room.

Looking at Franca, who was undergoing mutation, "Justice" lady didn't handle it hastily, but took out a charm made of gray-white dragon scales and activated it, making it illusory.

"The dream has changed; 'Cup of Two' is forced to promote to 'Despair Witch' in the dream." "Justice" lady's words combined with the illusory charm, quickly became transparent and merged into the night sky.

Just at this time, "Justice" lady felt a certain gaze, a gaze from the "Traveler's Bag," from an unknown place, a gaze toward Franca.

Dream City, Dawn Hospital, negative second floor.

Franca's consciousness and spirit drifted and fell into the closed darkness, feeling invisible threads filled with intense despair extending from the outside world, pulling her body according to the occult connection between each other.

At the same time, she also saw two bright star points.

Those were the people she valued, and also the people who valued her; they were the anchors that let her know who she was!

The muddled Franca gradually regained clarity, vaguely feeling that somewhere in the deep darkness, there were eyes filled with resentment, hatred, and anticipation looking at her.

Suddenly, the "Traveler's Bag" outside her spiritual world vibrated, a vibration she could clearly perceive.

That was the "Primordial Witch" statue carved from white bone trembling obviously.

At the same time, Franca discovered that there was an indescribable gaze cast toward her from high above, coming through the layers of the mirror world!

Her hair instantly turned completely black, floating in mid-air like tentacles, their tips bulging with round balls, as if they were about to open eyes one by one.

Franca's face became even more beautiful, emitting a charm that made Luo Shan, a girl who liked the opposite sex, unable to move her eyes, heart-pounding, and wanting to rush into the fire like a moth.

Franca opened her eyes with difficulty and issued a sound that seemed to be able to pluck the strings of the soul:

"It's okay..."

Jenna no longer maintained the ice wall and activated the "Ice Mirror Charm" she had been holding in her hand.

In the crystalline light, she felt the surface of the mirror she was holding in her other hand ripple with faint light, losing its rock-solid texture.

It really could be drilled through, leaving through the mirror world!

That kind of isolation was broken!

In addition, Jenna also discovered that the danger previously hidden in the mirror world had disappeared.

This was beyond her expectation; she originally thought that the "Primordial Witch's" gaze could break the obstruction and connect the mirror world, which would be very good, but never thought it could actually drive away the hidden danger.

This was also Franca's doubt.

She said to Jenna and Luo Shan with difficulty:

"You... go first..."

She was still resisting the potion's impact, transforming her body, and couldn't move for the moment.

If it weren't for the dream world suppressing this promotion to the Sequence 7 level, she wouldn't even be able to speak at this stage!

Jenna didn't hesitate, took a deep look at Franca, grabbed Luo Shan's arm, and drilled into the makeup mirror in her hand.

That makeup mirror then fell to the ground, and the ice wall around it collapsed completely.

However, the monster children closest to Franca had all been infected with serious illnesses, unable to approach and attack again.

Inside the mirror world, Jenna, carrying Luo Shan, traveled through an illusory tunnel, falling toward the corresponding mirror guided by her own spirituality.

Just in the blink of an eye, the two arrived at a new area behind the mirror and could leave the current world.

Jenna suddenly had a premonition, turned her head, and looked toward the depths of the mirror world.

Something dangerous seemed to have awakened slightly there, making the entire mirror world instantly filled with a sense of terror.

Silently, the mirror world collapsed completely.

"Franca..." Jenna's pupils dilated, and she whispered her companion's name.

The scene before her eyes meant that Franca couldn't use the mirror world to escape for the moment, and by the time the mirror world recovered, the "Primordial Witch's" gaze would likely have ended, and the power isolating the inside and outside would appear again!

Jenna's lips flowed with a little blood. She endured the erosion of pain on her soul and, before the terrifying collapse of the mirror world could spread, pulled Luo Shan and drilled out of the mirror surface.

She knew that blindly returning would only lead to being lost in the time-space turbulence deep in the mirror world, and would be of no help in saving Franca.

She planned to go to the first floor of Dawn Hospital and take the elevator back to the underground area!

At this time, Franca, who was still in the process of promotion, also discovered the collapse of the mirror world.

She then felt a violent shaking like an earthquake at the bottom of the dark abyss.

That was as if some things hidden in the dark abyss were stimulated by the power of the mirror world's collapse and made a certain reaction.

Accompanied by such shaking, the corridor under Franca's feet that hadn't been affected by the collapse collapsed at once, carrying her and several hundred monster children into the dark abyss with no visible bottom.

Damn! Franca didn't expect such a development.

The despair of those monster children was even richer, condensing into substance, and Franca was also uncontrollably wrapped in despair.

This helped her pass the final stage of promotion, letting her floating, thick, long black hair fall back to her side, no longer alienating, and restoring a little flaxen color.

Franca gritted her teeth and used the "Witch's" Feather Fall technique, letting her descent become slow, controllable to a certain extent.

She chose to stay away from the intense psychological shadow she had sensed before, which was the thing suspected to be a giant cloak; that place would definitely make her wish she were dead.

She drifted toward other areas, gambling on her luck.

What if the psychological shadow in other parts of the abyss was intense, but had no fatal danger?

Being a person, one must always hold a little hope and not give up completely, falling into total despair!

…………

Jenna, carrying Luo Shan, drilled out of the metal mirror surface of the elevator hall door, and at a glance, saw the female version of Lu Mian who had just withdrawn her gaze from the shaking ground.

She wasn't surprised why Lu Mian was also here, and blurted out:

"Franca is below, not on the negative first floor!

"The mirror world has collapsed!"

Lu Mian's eyes narrowed instantly.

He didn't ask for the specific process and said straightforwardly:

"You go to the emergency center to find Zhou Mingrui, see if you can ask him for help, and let him go to the underground area.

"As for the others, leave them to me, I'll handle them."

Zhou Mingrui is also at Dawn Hospital now? Jenna and Luo Shan were both taken aback.

Without waiting for Jenna to speak, Lu Mian added in a deep voice:

"I have envisioned the scene of having to enter the underground of Dawn Hospital to attempt sabotage, and have made certain preparations.

"Everyone has their own mission, and finding Zhou Mingrui is equally important!"

While speaking, Lu Mian had already arrived in front of the elevator and pressed the arrow pointing down.

Jenna's vision blurred instantly.

She didn't stubbornly insist, said "Hmm," and ran toward the emergency center, pulling Luo Shan.

She knew that one couldn't put all eggs in one basket; she knew that one couldn't be willful now; she knew that she, without divinity, even if she went to the underground of Dawn Hospital, shouldn't be able to help, and would instead drag Lu Mian and Franca down.

She wished she didn't know these things.

At this moment, she felt her own weakness due to intense pain, and felt even more painful due to her own weakness, emerging with the extreme thirst and motivation to want to change this situation.

Her "Pain" potion was thoroughly digested.

Lu Mian entered the elevator and pressed the "-2" button.

The elevator began to descend, and Lu Mian looked at himself, who was bright and peerless, on the metal mirror surface with a cold expression.

After the elevator stopped steadily and the cabin door opened, he went out quickly and cast his gaze outside the elevator lobby.

What entered his eyes was a piece of darkness that had no bottom, like an abyss.

Lu Mian's gaze froze.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the dim corner of the elevator lobby:

"Son of God."

Lu Mian turned his head fiercely and discovered a person standing in the shadows at the exit of the safety passage.

That was Lü Yong'an, the director of the obstetrics department of Dawn Hospital and the gifted one of the "Great Mother," Lü Yong'an.

Lü Yong'an's face was shrouded in dimness, and she looked at Lu Mian, saying in a low voice:

"To save people from there, one can only pray for the Mother's help."
