Chapter 4 Dreamland

"What the hell is this place?"

Lancelot looked around with wide eyes and muttered to himself.

【Did I travel to another world again? 】

Of course the boy remembered the last time he traveled through time in his sleep.

Yes, that happened one day ago.

Lancelot observed his surroundings vigilantly and found that he was in a dark town, with the dilapidated streets filled with gray mist.

Lancelot looked up at the sky and saw nothing but darkness.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the entire town as bright as day.

Now, Lancelot could see more clearly: all the houses were dilapidated, as if they had just experienced a disaster.

The strong wind tore through the dilapidated streets, carrying a chilling chill.

A storm is coming.

There wasn't even a ghost in the town, so Lancelot gave up the idea of ​​shouting for help.

The boy began to walk along the streets of the town towards the center of the town. He found a tall tower not far away, with a few faint beams of light coming from the windows at the top of the tower.

【There is someone there!】

Lancelot immediately saw hope, and he began to run towards the tower as quickly as possible, and soon arrived in front of the tower's gate.

The door of the tower has no handle, only a small keyhole. Of course, Lancelot does not have a key.

"Dong dong, dong." Lancelot knocked on the heavy iron door. Thirty seconds passed without any response.

At this time, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the accompanying thunder almost shattered his eardrums. He guessed that the people in the tower might not be able to hear his knock on the door at all.

Lancelot just wanted to find a place to hide from the rain. If he was lucky enough, he might be able to get information about the world from the people in the tower.

Lancelot tried with all his strength to push the door open, but it seemed to be locked and he couldn't push it at all.

"Hoo, ho, ho." Lancelot kicked the heavy iron door with some annoyance.

"Huh? What is this."

Lancelot found a piece of lead-gray letter paper floating down from the door. Because it was very similar to the color of the door, he had not noticed the existence of the paper just now.

The boy bent down to pick it up and gently brushed away the dust on the surface of the letter paper.

"This is... a missing person notice?" Lancelot saw a few eye-catching characters at a glance.

There were three large characters "Missing Person Notice" written on the top of the letter, and a portrait was drawn below, but because the light was too dark, he could not see the specific appearance clearly.

At the same time, lightning pierced the night sky again.

Through the fleeting electric light, Lancelot discovered that the portrait was of a girl with a beautiful face: slightly curly blond hair, fair skin, green eyes, and thin lips. She looked about fifteen years old.

The deafening thunder sounded again in Lancelot's ears, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness.

The boy blinked hard, but still couldn't see anything clearly.

[Is this time traveling to a blind person? 】

Lancelot held his breath and vaguely heard the crisp sound of water droplets falling on the stone slab.

"Bata, bah."

The sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

The boy realized that he could not sit still and waited, so he tried to reach forward with his palm, but did not touch any obstacles such as walls.

Just when Lancelot decided to continue exploring forward, he found that his shoes seemed to be stuck with a layer of strong glue on the ground, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not lift them.

"Hiss..."

Finally, Lancelot began to panic and his breathing became heavier. This scene reminded him of the Saw series of movies he had seen in his previous life.

When the protagonist wakes up, he has become the plaything of a perverted murderer.

This is often accompanied by severe pain in the brain and crushing despair.

Lancelot's consciousness was extremely clear. He was in a dark environment and could not miss any sound around him.

"Click, click!"

He heard the scraping sound of a lighter.

"hiss……"

A small flame came into view.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

There was another series of muffled sounds.

An ancient hall began to appear in front of Lancelot's eyes. Two rows of blazing torches on the left and right were fixed on more than a dozen round stone pillars spaced two meters apart.

Lancelot looked down and saw thick red liquid beneath his feet, spreading straight ahead like a bloody carpet.

The end of the carpet is connected to a dark throne, and behind the throne is a dark yellow brick wall with various indescribable patterns painted on it.

[This looks like a venue for some evil ritual.]

Lancelot began to search around for the figure of the perverted murderer. There was no one else in the empty hall except him.

He cast his gaze straight ahead and re-examined the dark throne.

The surface of the throne was filled with a strange color, as if it was wrapped in an unknown liquid.

[I don’t know what will happen if I sit on it.]

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah." Lancelot agreed subconsciously, and reacted instantly: "Who? Who is talking?!"

"You'll know."

The unfamiliar voice was low and hoarse, like a rickety old man whispering in his ear.

The boy felt terrified inside. He wanted to run away, but his feet were always firmly stuck to the ground.

"Where is this?"

"It's your dream."

【So this is all just a dream?】

"Yes, that's right."

Lancelot began to sweat on his forehead.

【How does he know what I am thinking?】

"I am inside you, of course I know what you are thinking."

"Inside me? What do you mean? Are you a parasite?"

"..."

Lancelot pondered for a moment and finally understood.

"You are my system grandpa, right? It's standard for time travellers. You know it." The boy grinned and his tense nerves immediately relaxed.

"Grandpa? Time traveler? I don't think you have a bright mind, so shut up." The other party's tone was a little surprised.

[Haha, it’s just a system, it doesn’t even have a physical body, so why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?]

"Tell me, what is your dream?"

"It's none of your business, let me get out of here, quickly." Lancelot suddenly felt bored and refused to answer this boring question.

"Damn it, can you answer my question seriously?"

"Well, there's really nothing I can do about you." Lancelot shrugged and said, "My dream is to sleep until I wake up naturally, count money until my hands cramp, and then marry a fair and beautiful wife."

"..." The other party fell into silence after listening.

"Is that all...that's all?"

"Otherwise, what do you think my dream should be, to conquer the world?"

Lancelot yawned boredly.
