Chapter 480 The Fruit of Fear

The shadows gathered towards the direction of the seeds at a faster speed, and Gao Ming couldn't tell whether it was a seed or something else.
The cracked shell looked like the skin shed by an animal, and the wildly growing roots not only looked like blood vessels, but also emitted a faint meaty aroma.

"Didn't you say that things in reality can't be brought into nightmares?" Gao Ming asked without waiting for the little girl to speak, leaving the child speechless.

Not only did he bring things into the nightmare, the seeds also had an unknown effect on the nightmare.

Despair, malice, fear, and other negative emotions that ordinary people avoid are all nutrients for the seed. The little girl stared at the rapidly growing seed with wide eyes. While she was shocked, she felt joy for the first time in her heart.

"This building is a nightmare that imprisons me. It's eating my nightmare!" The girl's body is entangled with the small building. All her pain comes from here. She struggles hard but cannot get rid of it. All her trauma turns into a sinking nightmare.

The little girl had already given up and just hoped not to implicate her brother, but she didn't expect that she would have a chance to change today.

"Eating the seeds of nightmares, is it the hope buried deep in the darkness?" The little girl seemed to be appreciating the most perfect work of art in the world. The blood-red seedlings seemed to be a gift from the savior to the world.

The cracks in the floor were pushed open, and the young seedlings were growing little by little. Gao Ming and the others seemed to hear the whole building wailing.

As the seedlings continued to absorb shadows and various negative emotions, they grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and everyone gradually discovered that something was wrong.

This seed is clearly a plant, but the rhizome that grows from it has skin similar to that of a living person, and the blood vessels can be clearly seen through the thin skin.

The characteristic of the little girl's nightmare is imprisonment. As long as the consciousness in the dream touches objects in the building, it will establish a connection with the building. The more contacts it has, the smaller the probability of leaving.

The flesh and blood plant brought in by Gao Ming made perfect use of the characteristics of nightmares. It madly invaded the nightmare and never thought of leaving. It devoured the shadow covering the entire building in big mouthfuls, chewing on the little girl's despair, and was deeply bound to the nightmare and inseparable from it.

“It’s grown taller again.”

In just a few minutes, the seedling had grown to a height of one person, with branches and leaves stretching out, and the little girl's face appeared on each blood-red leaf.

That’s not all. After the flesh and blood plant had absorbed enough fear, it stretched out its branches and began to grow towards where the girl was with a strong purpose.

The brother held the little girl and hid, and the bloody branches followed them like the hands of a living person.

"Why is it staring at my sister? What are you doing!" The stupid brother questioned Gao Ming, but the little girl did not blame him for anything. She was not afraid. Compared to being imprisoned in this despair forever, the collapse of her will was a relief.

"Brother, don't hide." The little girl stopped her brother.

"But……"

"It's okay, I won't be afraid of anything anymore." The little girl touched her brother's face, and she reached out to grab the bloody branches and leaves that were spreading over.

On each leaf was the girl's face, their tightly closed eyes slowly opened, as if they all came alive. The branches wrapped around the girl's fingers, pierced into her body, and began to absorb something from her body.

The girl curled up in pain, black tears streaming from her eyes, and the roar of a strange man came from her heart.

Hearing that rough and brutal voice, the silly brother and the little girl were trembling with fear. That was the voice of their adoptive father. The source of all their pain came from that man. Even if he was dead in reality, the trauma and shadow he left behind would still be hidden in their hearts, stinging their souls.

However, unlike the little girl's behavior, the blood-colored plant became more excited, and more and more branches penetrated into the girl's body. The onlookers felt terrified just by watching this scene.

The voice in the girl's heart became more and more angry and fearful, until the ghost of the old man with wooden spikes all over his body crawled out of the girl's heart again. He had a vicious face, grabbed his wife's hair with his left hand, and held his two sons in his right hand.

It had to leave the girl's heart, or it would be eaten by the flesh and blood plants.

The stupid brother was trembling, but his sister overcame her fear. She grabbed the old ghost's legs with her hands, and there was madness on her young face.

The bloody branches pierced through the girl's body and grew onto the old ghost and his family. Screams echoed in the small building. The thing that the little girl feared most was eaten by the flesh and blood plant.

The nightmare seemed to have lost its support. The objects in the small building no longer bound everyone, and the furniture and objects in memory gradually took on color.

The meaty aroma was strong. After swallowing up all the negative emotions in the nightmare, this strange plant grew two fist-sized fruits, one with the girl's terrified face engraved on it, and the other with a lingering shadow.

"These two fruits are produced after it absorbed my nightmares. Eating them will be good for you, but it seems that you will be bound to this strange plant from now on, and it may also appear in your nightmares." Gao Ming picked two fruits and handed them to the fool and Xu Deyi.

The seeds themselves were brought by him. He felt an unbreakable connection between himself and the flesh and blood plant. This strange flesh and blood plant seemed to be trying hard to communicate with him, but because it was too weak, it could not accurately express its meaning.

"Hurry up and leave! It will be too late if you don't leave now!" The girl's body has grown together with the flesh and blood plants: "Go to the third floor. There is a small window in my room. It is the only exit to leave the nightmare on the middle floor. I have imagined jumping from there countless times before, but I didn't expect it to become an exit in my dream."

"Sister, when will you come back?" The one-eyed fool repeated the same words. At this time, his sister could no longer suppress the power of the flesh and blood plant. The floor of the small building cracked layer by layer, and everyone saw that the roots of the flesh and blood plant were constantly growing downwards!
The part buried underground is more than ten times larger than the part above ground, and it looks extremely shocking and terrifying.

"Hurry up! This flesh monster is going to suck my nightmares dry. It wants to take me into a deeper nightmare!"

Gao Ming originally wanted to enter the deep dream to take a look, but for some reason he suddenly thought of Liu Yi at a certain moment. Someone was still waiting for him to go home, and the cat at home had not been fed yet.

Some inadvertent little details in life made him hesitate for a moment. By the time he reacted, Xu Deyi had already grabbed him and the one-eyed fool and brought them to the third floor.

Xu Deyi and the one-eyed fool, who swallowed the fruit, seemed to have undergone great changes in their bodies, and their strength increased significantly during the nightmare.

"Brother, I will never forget your kindness, and I will not tell anyone what happened here." As soon as Xu De opened the window, the three of them jumped out of the small building.
