Pei Yan knew he was dreaming but couldn't wake up. The battle scenes kept replaying in his mind with different endings: him defeating the Black-robed Man with great prowess, the entire team unfortunately sacrificed, or spending a peaceful night without incident. His mood was like a roller coaster ride, going up and down, because at the end of each story he could see that smiling young girl and a huge fish tail.
In a daze, Pei Yan seemed to hear someone softly calling him. After several attempts, he finally opened his eyes, his first reaction was a throbbing headache. Instinctively, he reached out with his right hand to rub his forehead, but felt something heavy tied to it. Unable to think much, he used his left hand to rub his nose, which was sore enough to make breathing difficult.
With thoughts slightly clearer, he looked around at his colleagues surrounding him, then at the military-green tent before turning to Wang Wenze in confusion, "Where is this? How long have I been out?"
