SORCERESS 101 285 Mu Lingxi's Dream

It continued like that until another week had pa.s.sed in their lives without them even noticing it.

Just like usual, Mu Lingxi is also working on her part-time job at the Zodiac Arena every after cla.s.s.

Until one night while everyone was sleeping soundly, Mu Lingxi suddenly bolted upright in her bed. There was panic in her eyes and beads of sweat were forming in her forehead.

She was also drenched with her own sweat and was panting heavily as if she just run three full lapses.

Mu Lingxi sat up at the edge of her bed and tried to calm down her heart that was also beating furiously.

She had the same nightmare that she had been having since they left the Sanguine Tundra.

Mu Lingxi keeps on dreaming about the lady the was trapped inside the ancient chalice.

On her dream, she will always saw the same scene that happened in the Sanguine Tundra when the ancient chalice was accidentally opened.

She dreamt about how the cloud of smoke drifted in the area as more flowing blood-like substance entered the chalice.

She also keeps on dreaming about how that same smoke slowly turned into a human form. As a silhouette of a woman started to bleed in the smoke.

The group already forgot how the lady that was trapped inside the chalice exactly looked like. Since the other party basically looked like nothing but a hologram before when they first saw her.

But during her sleep, Mu Lingxi can't help but notice that the feature of that mysterious lady was becoming more and more p.r.o.nounced on her dream.

Each night that the lady appears on her dream, it appears to become more solid than before.

Inside her dreams, Mu Lingxi also kept on hearing the exact same words that the lady said before she pa.s.sed out back in the Sanguine Tundra.

"Help me... Help me.... Help me...."

The lady keeps on calling out for help.

Her voice sounded weak and hoa.r.s.e as if she had been deprived of water for a very long time now.

The sound of the other party's voice keeps on ringing inside Mu Lingxi's head during her sleep. 

In her dream, Mu Lingxi always finds herself standing before the cloud of smoke and the only sound that she could hear in the background is the other party's plea, asking for help.

It was like a broken record that was played in a loop to serve as a background sound in her dreams. 

Her dreams always went on like that, and it will only stop once she wakes up in the morning.

Mu Lingxi did not find it weird before.

Although Mu Lingxi was having the same dream almost every night, she did not pay it any heed and thought to herself that it just nothing but a weird dream

That is why she never told her friends about it yet.

Ja.n.u.s was the only one who knew about this recurrent dream that she was having.

Mu Lingxi attributed this dream that she was having to the encounter that she had with the lady at the Sanguine Tundra where she almost touched her. Maybe it was because of that.

She thought that it was normal having that kind of dream after experience something like that.

But this time, however, when she dreamed about the lady again, the other party became aggressive that it went on grabbing her right arm!

The feeling that she had when the other party desperately grabbed her arm felt so real. That is why she bolted upright from her sleep.

Then to her greatest shock, went she went on looking at her right arm there was a handprint on it!!!

It was as if someone really grabbed her arm while she was asleep!!!!!

"MEOW"

[What's wrong? Did you had the same dream again???]

Ja.n.u.s asked with his half-opened eyes.

He was still feeling groggy and he badly wanted to go back to his sleep.

But when he noticed that Mu Lingxi was still sitting on her bed and has no intention of going back to her sleep, he decided to stay awake and asked his master what was wrong.

"Look at this Ja.n.u.s!"

Mu Lingxi whispered to her cat and showed the handprint that was imprinted on her right arm.

When Ja.n.u.s saw this, all the sleepiness in him vanished altogether.

[Where did you get that?!!]

"In my dreams, I think??? I don't know. But when I woke up, I already had it. The lady in my dream also grabbed me exactly at this same arm and it felt so real!!!"

"MEOW"

[I don't think this is normal anymore. Go on and change your clothes. Let's go to Schoolmaster Yun and consult him about this.]

"But it was already in the middle of the night. Schoolmaster Yin must be resting now, already."

"MEOW"

[I don't care! If I have to barge in his office just to wake him up. I will not hesitate to do so. This was his responsibility! Since he was the one who asked your group to go at Sanguine Tundra and get that freaking chalice.]

"But----"

"MEOW"

[There is no but, Little la.s.s! This is definitely not a joking matter. We should not take this one lightly. That lady that was trapped in the chalice was bothering you, even in your dreams. Now she even starts getting physical. What's next??? Do we have to wait for her to try and kill you on your sleep before we should act?!!!]

Ja.n.u.s sounded no different from a mother nagging her child to take her meds at that moment

Knowing Ja.n.u.s' personality, Mu Lingxi knew that he won't give it a rest if she will not do as he said.

So left with no other choice but to follow her cat's instruction, Mu Lingxi got up to her bed and went to the bathroom to have her pajamas exchanged.
