The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 62 – Liu Qingying
"Ah!"
Gao Yang sat up abruptly from the bed, instinctively reaching for his chest. It was intact, and his heart was still beating.
It was just a dream.
But... this dream was too realistic! Gao Yang had never had such a detailed and vivid dream before, especially one that was so terrifying.
Gao Yang was covered in cold sweat, his undershirt soaked. He took a moment to calm himself before getting out of bed, but suddenly felt a chill down his spine!
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure in the room. There was someone inside!
Moonlight shone through the window, casting a 45-degree angle of light that illuminated a corner of the room, like a spotlight on a solo actor on stage.
Under the light was a woman and a chair.
The woman was wearing a red fitted cheongsam, her silver hair shining elegantly under the moonlight. She sat gracefully on the chair, which was the computer chair Gao Yang usually sat on. However, the gas lift was broken, causing it to be lower than usual.
The woman had a graceful figure, with a pair of seductive long legs that were as white as jade. Sitting on this chair seemed extremely awkward and alluring.
"Boss?" Gao Yang recognized the person at a glance.
"I'm Liu Qingying. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Liu," the woman smiled.
"Sister Liu, what's going on?" Gao Yang's face remained calm, but his hands were tense, ready to activate his talent, [Flame].

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm," Liu Qingying said lazily and softly, without the sharpness and coquettishness of a "vixen."
Gao Yang remained silent.
"What you just experienced was all a dream," Liu Qingying's voice was lazy and gentle, but not as sharp and coquettish as a "vixen."
"As for you right now," Liu Qingying's eyes flickered, "you are still dreaming."
Gao Yang was shocked, he really didn't expect it to be a dream within a dream, and it was so realistic.
Liu Qingying looked at Gao Yang with her enchanting peach blossom eyes. "I can also switch to other scenes, but I think you will feel more at ease in a familiar place."
"Let's just stay here." Gao Yang didn't rush to ask about her intentions. It would seem impatient. Instead, he changed the subject. "You have dual talents?"
"Talent: [Dream Beauty], Serial Number 50, Rune Type: Spirit," Liu Qingying was very frank. "Of course, it can only be used when the target is asleep."
This Liu Qingying was indeed extraordinary!
Gao Yang thought for a moment and carefully chose his words. "How do you activate the dream beauty? I mean, how can you enter my dream?"
"You're being impolite," Liu Qingying smirked. "How can you ask about someone's trump card?"
"You're right." Gao Yang deliberately avoided her gaze, as it would affect his thinking. Even in the dream, she seemed to still be able to activate her [Charm] talent.
"But well, I came to visit you this time without much thought, and I do have a favor to ask of you. To show my sincerity, I can tell you," Liu Qingying's eyes were full of smiles, "you can take a guess first."
Gao Yang quickly recalled. Was it through eye contact? It couldn't be... If it only required eye contact, it would be too powerful, and her serial number wouldn't be ranked 50th.
Soon, Gao Yang had an answer. "Plum soup?"
"You're really smart. I didn't misjudge you," Liu Qingying nodded appreciatively. "I need a medium to connect with the target through dreams."
"So... you drugged me?"
"Oh, don't put it that way," Liu Qingying blinked, put her slender index finger against her lips, and then moved it away. "Just like this, gently stir it in the cup of plum soup you're going to drink. But well, the effect is relatively low this way, lasting at most 24 hours. That's why I have to come find you tonight. If I drip my blood into it, the connection effect should last for more than a week."
It seemed that the other party was indeed sincere, at least willing to reveal some of her trump cards.
Gao Yang hesitated for a moment before asking, "The dream within the dream just now... was it also created by you?"
"No, that was the side effect when [Dream Beauty] invaded for the first time. Next time... if there is a next time, you won't have nightmares anymore."
"I have to say," Liu Qingying's lips slightly parted, and a special desire flashed in her eyes, "your dreams are really delicious."
Gao Yang felt offended, but he chose to remain silent.
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it as sarcasm," Liu Qingying tilted her head, still smiling, "Dreams, although they are false, are an extension, conception, calculation, and deduction based on the dreamer's memory, common sense, knowledge, emotions, and soul."
"Although most of the time they are unconscious and absurd, they still have their own underlying logic. To some extent, things in dreams may be true, or a warning, or even come true."
Gao Yang's heart sank.
Liu Qingying continued, "You see, your talent card is indeed on the table, and your sister might really come home suddenly and come to your room. Even if you lock the door, you would still handle the talent card before opening it. But what if you forget? Just like what happened in the dream. And your sister, she most likely is a beast..."
"Stop," Gao Yang frowned.Liu Qingying looked at Gao Yang with nothing but admiration, "Through a person's dreams, I can tell whether they are dull and boring, or emotionally rich and highly intelligent. Your dreams are very real because you have full emotions, strong deductive abilities, and a creative imagination, along with a complete and self-consistent logic. Among all the nightmares I've tasted, yours can rank in the top three."
Liu Qingying's gaze was intoxicated as she continued, "Delusional Beast... haha, I've never seen a Delusional Beast before. Perhaps, the Delusional Beast is just as you dreamed, I even saw complex emotions and behavioral logic in it. Honestly, we Awakened Beings live with Beasts day and night, but we don't understand them at all. Most Awakened Beings don't even want to understand Beasts, they just know how to fight and kill, which is very boring. But you're different, you can deduce so many possibilities in a dream, you're really amazing."
"Thank you."
A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.
Gao Yang wasn't truly grateful, he just didn't know what to say.
"You're welcome." Liu Qingying leaned slightly forward, her hands clasped together on her knees, "We've chatted quite a bit, it's time to get to the point. After all, I can't guarantee when you will wake up."
"Go ahead." Gao Yang's body and spirit entered a state of alert, ready for the worst-case scenario if the negotiation failed.
"I came to find you because I want to be friends with you."
