Chapter 102 Strange Dream

After bandaging the last wound with fine linen, the young doctor wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

He straightened up, looked at the young man in front of him whose upper body was wrapped up like a dumpling, and gently instructed him: "Although there are many wounds, none of them are deep, and they have been intentionally avoided to protect vital organs, so there is nothing to worry about. Just be careful to change the dressings and avoid water. It should be almost healed in about half a month or twenty days."

Chu He put on his inner shirt and nodded to him, saying, "Thank you."

After bowing respectfully, the doctor put on his cloak, picked up his medicine box, and left the room.

On the other side of the soft couch, He Shi, shirtless, had his legs crossed and was warming his hands by the fire.

The boy's slender muscles appeared more defined than usual in the firelight.

He had wrapped a thin linen bandage from his left shoulder to his right armpit, and a trace of red seeped out from his shoulder. Although he was also bruised, he looked much better than Chu He.

Watching the doctor leave, Chu He stood up and walked to the wall to scoop water to wash his hands as if nothing had happened.

"Second Brother, your injury looks quite frightening. Before it was cleaned, it looked like a clay figure painted with red paint."

Hearing his unique description, Chu He smiled slightly and picked up a cloth from the shelf to wipe his hands: "It just looks scary. To be honest, it's not as serious as the knife wound on Senior Sister's body."

He Shi frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "I just heard from the doctor that there's nothing seriously wrong, but I'm afraid I won't be able to exert myself for a while."

A cold glint flashed in Chu He's eyes: "Senior Sister's martial arts are among the best in the world. The one who could injure her so badly must not be an ordinary assassin. There must be some conspiracy involved."

He Shi nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, junior brother, go and get some rest. It'll be almost dawn if you don't sleep soon."

Chuhe moved a set of bedding onto the soft couch, "Go sleep in the inner room."

He Shi nodded obediently, picked up his clean clothes, and went into the inner room.

To prevent any further attacks tonight, after arriving at the new courtyard, the group decided to rest in pairs.

Bai Yushen was not seriously injured and offered to keep watch for Xia Yuan and Chu Yunsi.

Seeing that Chu Yunsi was still unconscious and that she herself was no longer able to fight, Xia Yuan had no choice but to agree to Bai Yushen's suggestion and temporarily make him suffer through the night without sleep.

But he seemed quite happy?

Xia Yuan didn't ask any more questions. The weakness from excessive blood loss quickly made her feel drowsy.

Thinking that Bai Yushen was sitting on the rooftop keeping watch, she stopped trying to stay awake and instead relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

On the roof, Bai Yushen swept away large clumps of snow with his foot, then casually lay back on the cold tiles, his hands crossed behind his head, gazing absently at the crescent moon that appeared and disappeared, lost in thought.

In the next room, the embers in the brazier were still warm, and He Shi and Chu He, one mile away and the other mile away, were fast asleep.

The courtyard fell silent for a moment, with only the howling of the cold wind remaining.

Suddenly, He Shi, who was lying on his back on the bed wrapped in a quilt, frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face, and his eyes kept moving around under his thin eyelids.

……

He Shi felt as if he were flying in the sky, but it didn't feel like flying in the sky.

Because although his gaze was looking down from a very high place, he could not see his own hands and feet.

This feeling reminded him of dreaming.

But it doesn't seem like a dream.

Because people don't dream about things outside their comprehension, like the scene He Shi is seeing now.

Wisps of mist drifted by, and beneath them lay an unimaginably vast place resembling a city, yet this city had no walls.

Moreover, the city has many exceptionally tall buildings that constantly reflect light...?

The wide, black ground, paved with some unknown material, and the small, square black dots moving slowly across it—were they some kind of large, unfamiliar beast?

He Shi wanted to see the beast in its entirety.

The moment this thought crossed my mind, my field of vision suddenly shrank, while the enormous city seemed to grow larger.

It felt as if he were falling from a great height, bringing a strong sense of weightlessness and dizziness.

He Shi subconsciously called for a stop in his mind, and in the next instant, the scene in front of him stopped moving again.

He Shi steadied himself and continued to observe this unfamiliar world. What he saw next left him speechless with disbelief.

At this moment, his perspective was focused on the top few floors of the tallest building he had seen from high above.

The sheer size of the object at such close range instilled an instinctive sense of fear in He Shi. He stared blankly at the people coming and going in the building, which was at least a hundred feet above the ground, his mind momentarily blank.

As he tried to get closer to those people, his gaze slowly moved toward that floor, finally stopping at the outside of the entire glass wall.

He Shi stared at the nearly transparent large pane of glass, his heart filled with indescribable shock.

Are these all glass? Or crystal?

He looked inside through the glass.

It was a huge room with walls and floors that were so clean they were almost blindingly white. There were some tables-like pieces of furniture on the floor, separated by lattice screens, and some young men and women were sitting in front of the tables.

They were all dressed in clothes that accentuated their figures, with simple cuts and all sorts of strange fabrics; even their hair came in many different colors...

Besides these, the room was filled with many things he had never heard of and could not imagine: a mechanism that could dispense boiling water with the touch of a button, a machine that could spit out paper with the touch of a button, and even a thin board that could hide many people...

He Shi was stunned. He lowered his head, suppressing the dizziness, and slowly lowered his gaze to see the large wild beasts—

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't actually a wild beast, but rather a kind of mechanical beast, something the Ouyang family had been researching for the past few years.

But these mechanical beasts not only house people, but they can also run around non-stop, obey orders without question, emit piercing roars, and spew foul-smelling gases from their rear ends...

Even if the Ouyang family were to research it for another hundred years, they probably still wouldn't be able to come up with something like this.

He Shi's gaze shifted slightly, and he accidentally saw a girl wearing a short skirt and ankle boots. He was immediately startled and subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was no longer in the same place.

There weren't any unimaginably tall buildings around; the tallest one seemed to be...

He Shi counted them: twelve floors.

The surrounding air smelled very complex. In addition to the smoke emitted by the mechanical beast, there were many unique aromas mixed together, which smelled like food.

He blinked his eyes, which had become sore from overuse, and turned his gaze away from looking around, focusing on a house in front of him.

The house has a door with a very beautiful paint finish. Next to the door is a snow-white wall. Beyond that is a huge glass wall that is very clean. If it weren't for the strange patterns and symbols pasted on it, one could easily mistake it for nothing.

Above the pretty little house hangs a plaque with three oddly shaped characters.

He Shi tilted his head back and identified them one by one.

These characters seem to be "small" and "sweet," and the last character seems to be "cake"?
