Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Xiao Yun had a very, very long dream.

In his dream, he stood on a gray wasteland, with a long table stretching as far as the eye could see in front of him.

The long table was laden with food—golden roast suckling pig, piles of cream cakes, steaming bowls of soup noodles, and crystal-clear pastries… The aroma of each dish was irresistible.

My stomach rumbled like thunder.

Xiao Yun felt as if he hadn't eaten anything for a long time.

No, his body was telling him that he had never been this hungry before.

"Hungry……"

Xiao Yun reached out and grabbed the roast suckling pig in front of him.

But the moment his fingers touched the food, the suckling pig suddenly opened its eyes and let out a piercing scream.

Immediately afterwards, all the food on the long table came to life.

The icing on the pastry transformed into distorted faces, screaming silently at him.

The cake cracked open, revealing the pulsating flesh inside;

What was churning in the soup wasn't noodles, but sticky tentacles reaching out;

"Eat...eat...eat..."

Countless voices echoed in my ears, like the whispers of demons.

Xiao Yun sensed something was wrong and fought back fiercely.

However, hunger drove his body, even subtly influencing everything before him—

The pulsating flesh transformed once more into sweet and delicious cakes, and the tentacles turned into fragrant noodle soup. Those cakes, covered in frosting, looked so... .

Everything that just happened seems to have been an illusion.

"I'm so hungry, no, I'll just eat a little... just a little..."

Driven by desire, Xiao Yun's eyes gradually became empty, and like a walking corpse, he slowly reached out his hand towards the 'delicious food'.

Just as he was about to touch the food, the mithril sword at his waist trembled, and a clear sword cry resounded.

A glimmer of clarity appeared in Xiao Yun's eyes, and he instantly understood his current state.

"I need to do something to stop myself from being controlled by my appetite."

A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, and he bit off his own hand.

Despite the intense pain, he regained some consciousness.

"It's a success!"

But before he could even catch his breath, a crack suddenly appeared on his chest.

A large tongue darted out and swept across the long table like a bulldozer, wiping out all the food.

Xiao Yun was startled and tried to stop him, but found that he couldn't even draw his sword.

He could only watch helplessly as the enormous maw in his chest opened and closed, chewing everything with relish.

An endless hunger surged up again, and Xiao Yun's consciousness slowly became blurred.

The next second, the monstrous maw left his body, suddenly enlarged before his eyes, and swallowed him whole...

"No!"

Xiao Yun suddenly woke up with a start.

"Huff... huff... huff..."

He was panting heavily, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

As consciousness slowly returned, the familiar scene of the dormitory room came into view.

"This dream... felt pretty real."

Xiao Yun gave a wry smile, propped himself up on the bed, and was about to sit up.

But the moment the arm exerted force, a crisp sound of a bone breaking rang out.

Click!

A sudden chill ran down his arm, and Xiao Yun's half-reclined body slumped back onto the bed with a loud thud.

thump!

It was as if a heavy object weighing hundreds of kilograms had fallen; the iron bed frame collapsed with a crash.

Xiao Yun's mind was buzzing. He turned his head blankly and looked at his body and limbs before realizing the problem.

"Holy crap! How did I get so fat?!"

Xiao Yun lay in the ruins, stretching his neck desperately, only to find, to his dismay, that he couldn't even see his toes.

All that could be seen was a belly covered in rings of white, swollen fat, bulging like a balloon.

The surface is covered with dense growth lines, forming strange and menacing patterns, like sharp teeth or stripes on a watermelon.

"I'm twice as fat as Lao Pang now, right? My belly is so big, yet it hasn't burst open."

Xiao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

But there's good news too. For example, the arm that was just broken seems to be almost fully recovered because of the fat holding the bone together.

Immediately afterwards, when Xiao Yun tried to use his mental power to check his condition, he discovered even worse news.

"His spiritual power has almost completely disappeared, [Eternal Blood] and [True Understanding of All Things] have fallen silent, and all his skills are sealed..."

"Even my own attributes have fallen to the level of an ordinary person..."

Xiao Yun shook his head and gave a bitter laugh.

Before activating the two cursed objects at the same time, he had anticipated that the consequences would be severe, but he did not expect them to be this severe.

Meanwhile, the commotion he made also attracted other people.

When they saw Xiao Yun wake up, everyone was overjoyed.

But when they saw him struggling on the bed, they almost burst out laughing.

Xiao Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he shouted in an annoyed tone:

"Stop laughing, especially Gu Shen. You're laughing so hard you're practically spitting out a tractor. Aren't you afraid of choking on your laughter?"

But when he pointed it out, the laughter not only didn't stop, but became even more rampant.

"Hahaha, no, no, don't wave your hands like that. You're like a pig on a chopping board, it's hilarious."

Gu Shen laughed heartily, without a care in the world.

"Damn it!"

"Stop laughing, and pull me up right now."

The latter deftly dodged, then suppressed his smile and, together with the others, stepped forward to help Xiao Yun up.

It took a lot of effort for a group of people to lift Xiao Yun out of the rubble and place him on the living room floor, leaning him against the wall.

Everyone was panting heavily, and Xiao Yun was also exhausted, breathing heavily.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the simple calendar on the wall.

Winter, third week, Saturday.

"It's already Saturday? I've been unconscious for so long?"

Xiao Yun's heart sank suddenly, and he hurriedly looked at everyone:

"During my coma, did anything unusual happen? Among those who returned to normal, were any resurrected as dead? How is the guild recovering? Have there been any other monsters or other guilds invading?"

Hearing his rapid-fire questions, Ji Mingyu quickly raised his hand to comfort him:

Don't worry, everyone is fine.

"In fact, thanks to your [Spark], most of those who turned back actually benefited from the misfortune and became even stronger."

"With the ranking rewards from the second full moon, the overall strength of the guild has increased rather than decreased. Moreover, in gratitude for your actions, the guild's operations have become more stable, and everything is slowly recovering."

Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his lips.

"That's good...that's good. I was just afraid of wasting my time."

"By the way, where are Fatty, A-Yuan, and Su-Su? Why aren't they here? Didn't you tell them I woke up?"

As Xiao Yun spoke, he opened the guild channel, preparing to send messages to the others.

But at that moment, Ji Mingyu sighed softly and stopped him.

"They...are busy with other things."

Xiao Yun was taken aback. Seeing the sudden drop in mood of Ji Mingyu, Gu Shen, and the others, he suddenly realized something.

"Did someone... fail to return?"

Xiao Yun's voice was hoarse, like an old blower, with a slight tremor.

Although he had given it his all, by the time he performed the reversal ritual, the catastrophe had already passed for a long time, and many of those who had become the dead had been killed by the survivors.

"How many people are there?"

After a long silence, Ji Mingyu sighed and uttered a number:

"3819... Most of them are elderly people, and ordinary people with slightly weaker abilities."

"Most of the children survived. We guess it's because they have strong vitality and are not easy to turn into the dead. In addition, during the battle... no one was willing to attack them."

"It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

Xiao Yun nodded, then looked at Ji Mingyu with intense gaze:

"Anything else?"

Given Xiao Yun's familiarity with Ji Mingyu, he could tell in an instant that Ji Mingyu was still hiding something.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

Ji Mingyu gave a bitter smile and sighed softly:

"Among the deceased was our teacher's wife, Professor Cheng."

"Mrs. Cheng's health has always been poor, and it seems that it's not just a matter of missing her grandson. We just didn't explore the matter further last time..."

"Under the catalysis of the abyss's power, they were instantly transformed into the dead..."

In her ears, Ji Mingyu's voice gradually became indistinct, like the hollow murmurs in her dream.

Xiao Yun stared at the ceiling, his vision gradually blurring.

It was still too late...

If only I could be more decisive.

If only I had been more careful.

If only I could be... a little stronger...

Two lines of clear tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, only to be evaporated by her burning body heat in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Yun sighed and asked softly:

Where are they...?

Ji Mingyu was taken aback, then understood what he meant.

"The farewell ceremony will be held at the Sanctuary of Rest."

Xiao Yun nodded, leaned against the wall, and forced himself to stand up.

His bones cracked and popped like firecrackers.

However, Xiao Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he even refused the help of Ji Mingyu and the others.

"Let's go see our teacher's wife off, and see everyone off..."
