A bed that traverses countless worlds

A chilling wind howled, like the low groans of demons, and the air was filled with a putrid stench—a mixture of death and oppression.

Lin Yu stood before the towering castle, the entire castle shrouded in thick darkness, like a lurking beast ready to devour its prey at any moment.

This place is incredibly eerie, several levels more terrifying than an ancient battlefield instance.

He took a deep breath, feeling as if he had inhaled ice crystals into his lungs, instantly chilling him from head to toe, but the fire in his heart burned even brighter. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it!

Without hesitation, he strode toward the castle gate, each step echoing crisply on the hard stone pavement, standing out starkly in the empty darkness.

"crunch-"

The heavy door slowly opened, like a monster opening its bloody maw, and the darkness grew even thicker, as if it were about to devour Lin Yu.

Lin Yu did not back down at all and went straight in.

What came into view was a long corridor, with flickering candlelight on both sides. The dim light cast long shadows on the walls, like a group of menacing ghosts.

Lin Yu walked cautiously, observing everything around him warily, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Suddenly, at the end of the corridor, a carved door slowly opened, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway.

She wore a gorgeous velvet gown, noble and elegant, like a bright moon in the night, she was Alice from the Middle Ages!

Her delicate features appeared even more alluring in the dim light, and her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity, like two dazzling gems.

Lin Yu was captivated by her unique charm and was momentarily lost in thought.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Alice's voice was as melodious as a clear spring, tinged with a hint of doubt.

Lin Yu then came to his senses and quickly explained his purpose: "I come from a distant time and space to repair the damaged timeline."

Alice listened and admired his courage and wisdom, her eyes even filled with a hint of worship.

"I see." She nodded gently, a charming smile playing on her lips.

“My name is Alice, the mistress of this castle. I believe you will succeed.”

Their eyes met, and a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, making their hearts skip a beat.

“I need your help.” Lin Yu looked intently at Alice, his tone firm. “Next, I need to find this point in time…”

Alice didn't speak, only nodded gently. She slowly raised her hand, as if wanting to touch Lin Yu's face, her eyes full of tenderness, but her hand stopped in mid-air...

Alice withdrew her hand from mid-air, knowing that this was not the time for sentimentality; important matters needed to be addressed.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, banishing the strange feeling from his mind, and refocused his attention on the important matter at hand.

He looked around, trying to find the key point to repair the timeline.

“Click—click—”

Just then, the walls of the corridor suddenly began to move, and the sound of stones grinding together was as grating as grinding teeth, sending chills down one's spine.

Lin Yu instantly became alert. He saw the walls on both sides begin to squeeze inwards, as if they were going to crush him into a meat patty. This was probably not a "welcome ceremony" but a large-scale "death scene".

"Damn! This castle's defense system is really 'enthusiastic'!" Lin Yu cursed inwardly, while his feet kept moving, nimbly dodging the ever-approaching walls.

Not only that, the ground also began to become restless. Stone slabs suddenly flipped over, revealing bottomless black holes, like ferocious beasts with gaping jaws, waiting for their prey to arrive.

Lin Yu dodged left and right, his figure as elusive as a ghost, nimbly traversing the confined space. His various skillful maneuvers were dazzling, making it feel like playing a real-life version of "escape room," only this time the "levels" were much more hardcore.

While dodging traps and mechanisms, he carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find clues about the repair timeline.

Lin Yu discovered an ancient stone disc on the wall at the end of the corridor, engraved with complex runes and emitting a faint light. This might be the key to repairing the timeline.

"Found it!" Lin Yu was overjoyed, but the traps and mechanisms in front of him showed no sign of letting up.

He dodged attacks from all directions while cautiously approaching the stone slab.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"

The sound of arrows piercing the air rang out, and volleys of arrows shot out from the holes in the wall, carrying a chilling killing intent.

Lin Yu ducked low, dodging the dense rain of arrows, his movements as agile as a nimble cat.

"A mere trick!" Lin Yu scoffed, relying on his exceptional reaction speed and accurate judgment to break through all the traps and mechanisms one by one.

Finally, he arrived in front of the stone slab.

He took a deep breath, placed his hand on the stone plate, and a soft light enveloped him. The runes on the stone plate began to flicker, and the entire corridor trembled.

Lin Yu could feel a powerful force surging into his body.

Alice, standing to the side, looked at Lin Yu, at the man who seemed like a god in the light, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

“You’re amazing…” Alice said softly.

"Next, I will..." Lin Yu turned his head, about to continue speaking, but suddenly stopped.

Lin Yu looked at Alice, their eyes met, and an indescribable ambiguity filled the air.

“Next, I will inject energy to restart the timeline,” he explained, lightly touching the stone disc with his fingertips as a warm current slowly flowed in.

Alice watched Lin Yu nervously, afraid of disturbing him.

She couldn't help but reach out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, her fingertips gently brushing against his face.

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Alice. Their hands touched unintentionally, and a jolt of electricity instantly spread throughout their bodies.

Alice's cheeks flushed instantly, and her heart pounded as if it would burst out of her chest.

"I..." She wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin. She could only silently withdraw her hand, lower her head, and not dare to meet Lin Yu's eyes.

Lin Yu also sensed the subtle atmosphere, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

He took a deep breath and refocused his attention on the stone slab.

As energy was continuously injected, the runes on the stone disc grew brighter and brighter, eventually bursting forth with a dazzling light that illuminated the entire castle.

"It's done!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly.

The eerie and terrifying atmosphere in the castle vanished instantly, replaced by warmth and light.

Everything around them came back to life; the once lifeless castle was now full of vitality.

People came out of their rooms, cheering and celebrating their hard-won victory.

Alice walked quickly to Lin Yu, her eyes glistening with tears of excitement.

"Thank you, you saved us!"

Looking at the beautiful and kind woman in front of him, Lin Yu felt a sense of accomplishment.

“I just did what I was supposed to do,” he said modestly.

"No, you did more than just what you were supposed to do, you're our hero!" Alice excitedly grasped Lin Yu's hand.

Lin Yu felt a warmth in his heart as he looked into Alice's sincere eyes.

He knew that his connection with Alice might have only just begun.

After a brief moment of warmth, Lin Yu remembered that his mission was not yet complete.

The timeline of the future city is still disrupted, waiting for him to repair it.

"I should go," Lin Yu said gently, withdrawing his hand. "There are still other time points that I need to fix."

"I'll wait for you to come back," Alice whispered.

Lin Yu nodded and turned to walk towards the castle gate. He glanced back at Alice.

"Teleport to the future city." Lin Yu's voice echoed in the empty castle.

With a flash of light, Lin Yu vanished from his spot, leaving Alice standing alone, silently watching the direction in which Lin Yu disappeared...
