Chapter: Chapter 293
After awkwardly hiding in the alley, the pursuit from behind disappeared. Whether the white figure lost its target or intentionally gave Leticia a way out, she didn’t know.
“Tch, how annoying. Why is that guy still so strong even though I’ve lost my power?” Leticia punched the wall fiercely, and as expected, felt no pain. This reminded her that she was currently dreaming, a dream that made her very unhappy.
Such a dream is completely unnecessary to continue! Leticia thought indignantly. Shouldn’t she be an empress who could destroy anything and dominate everything in her dream? Why did she become like this?
Helpless, with no distinction apart from the clothes she was wearing, even the clothes weren’t particularly special. Weren’t they just a black dress that looked a bit expensive? There was nothing to care about.
Thinking this, Leticia decided to wake herself up and have another dream later. The next dream wouldn’t be so unpleasant, would it?
She didn’t believe it.
The girl’s figure gradually faded and disappeared like an illusion within a few breaths.
As she disappeared, the white-haired figure, standing foolishly at the entrance of the alley like a disconnected robot, also quickly faded away, as if she only existed when Leticia existed.
Of course, Leticia didn’t know this.
When she opened her eyes and felt the familiar power flowing within her, she let out a soft sigh of relief. She should have woken up now, right?
The dream had been a bit too realistic. If everything in the dream didn’t contrast so much with her understanding, she might not have realized it was a dream.
“I remember I seemed to have met that blonde guy, and then something happened, hiss, I can’t remember.” After waking up, the memories of the dream quickly blurred and faded. Even someone with Leticia’s strong mental power would be like this.
She only remembered dreaming about a blonde guy, then being chased by someone, and finally waking up.
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll go back to sleep. There are a lot of troublesome things to do tomorrow.” Yawning, Leticia closed her eyes again, preparing to have a beautiful dream.
But sometimes, fate likes to play tricks on people.
As Leticia’s consciousness gradually became clearer, she was speechless to find herself standing in the same place she had just been. Yes, it was in that alley where she had hidden from the white figure.
“Is this dream continuous?” Looking down at her almost unchanged attire, Leticia suddenly had the urge to give a middle finger to the sky.
Suppressing her urge, Leticia cautiously poked her head out to check the situation outside. She wanted to figure out if the white figure was still waiting outside.
“It’s gone?” The result relieved Leticia. The monstrous white figure had disappeared. Not only had it disappeared, but the damage it had caused had also vanished.
After returning to this dream with such a sense of deja vu, she remembered the previous experiences. The terrifying sword lights were unforgettable.
She also definitely wouldn’t forget the houses destroyed by those sword lights.
But now, those houses had been restored to their original state.
Squatting down, she reached out to touch the smooth ground. Leticia frowned. She clearly remembered that the place had originally been cut by a deep沟壑 from the white figure’s sword light, but now, that damage was gone.
Logically, this damage shouldn’t have disappeared.
“The buildings over there haven’t been restored; instead, the extent of the destruction has increased.” Leticia looked into the distance. Thick smoke and dust billowed far away. The buildings from her current location to that place had almost all turned into ruins.
The starting point of the ruins was where the black monster had emerged earlier. Then, the blonde guy went to fight the monster, and the battlefield moved away in this direction.
The destruction here hadn’t been restored, but the destruction caused by the white figure had been. This was truly confusing.
“This dream is really strange.” Leticia scratched her head, turned her head, and planned to go to other places to see. Dreams are inherently bizarre, and trying to apply logic here is the most illogical thing.
Why didn’t you chase after your footsteps along the ruins?
Please, Leticia is no longer the demon king who could destroy the sky, the earth, and the air. She is now just an ordinary girl named Leticia. Going to that place would be asking for death.
Even though she knew it was a dream, Leticia didn’t want to experience death in a dream. She wasn’t the type of person who liked to court death.
She walked along the main road for a very long time, so long that Leticia began to doubt if the road had no end. The unchanging street scene suddenly changed.
As if by spatial teleportation, she instantly appeared from the streets of the city center in a bustling coffee shop.
“Landlady, another cup of coffee!”
“Landlady, the bill!”
“Landlady…”
A plump middle-aged woman weaved through the crowd with a smile. She responded to the customers’ requests one by one, while instructing the waiters to do their jobs.
It seemed normal, but Leticia sensed something was wrong. Apart from this middle-aged woman, everyone else in the coffee shop seemed to be out of their minds.
Their gazes were empty, and they kept repeating the same words, like wind-up dolls.
“What is all this?” Leticia rubbed her temples in distress. This dream was too strange.
If she dreamed of the blonde guy because she had seen him before, then this middle-aged woman now, she had never seen her even once.
Why would she dream of these things?
It was truly bizarre.
“Miss, is there anything you’d like to order?” The busy landlady noticed Leticia, or rather, it would be strange if she didn’t.
Leticia’s temperament was extraordinary, not to mention the clothes she was wearing. Anyone could tell that this girl was unusual.
Moreover, she was the only one who hadn’t spoken and the only one who didn’t seem overly enthusiastic.
“Before ordering, shouldn’t you give me a menu?” Leticia spread her hands, indicating that she also wanted to order, but didn’t know what to order.
“Ah, right, there should be a menu. There should be a menu.”
It seemed that this landlady was also a bit eccentric, Leticia thought to herself. Although the landlady’s behavior was much better than that of the customers and waiters in the store, it was still clearly abnormal behavior for a normal person.
Her way of thinking seemed to have changed in a very strange way, causing her to overlook things that would normally be easily noticed, such as the customers’ vacant eyes and the fact that they didn’t look at the menu when ordering.
If it were one or two, it could be explained as regular customers, but the entire store full of regular customers?
It was impossible.
“I can only say, as expected of a dream.” However, Leticia didn’t feel too surprised, after all, this was a dream. It would be abnormal if things were normal.
As she was thinking, the landlady had already retrieved a menu from the counter. Leticia opened the menu and found that many pages were blurry, with only a few pages clearly visible.
“I’ll just order a regular coffee, add extra sugar. I don’t like bitter things.” Leticia closed the menu and said to the landlady.
Hearing Leticia’s answer, a brilliant smile appeared on the landlady’s face. She nodded vigorously, “Okay, I’ll prepare it for you right away.”
Why was she so happy? Leticia was a bit puzzled. She had just ordered the most ordinary coffee, why was this landlady acting as happy as if she had won the lottery?
It was truly bizarre.
After waiting in an empty seat for not long, a vacant-eyed waiter walked over with a cup of coffee. She placed the coffee in front of Leticia and left without saying a word.
Compared to the landlady, these waiters were indeed too lifeless. They were simply not like living people.
Leticia shook her head, picked up the coffee, and prepared to take a sip. But her luck seemed to be bad today. Just as her lips touched the coffee cup, a clear gunshot sound coupled with the sound of breaking glass came from behind her. Without thinking, Leticia immediately dropped the coffee and dodged under the table with a roll.
The moment she made the evasive move, a bullet passed through the place where she had just been standing and hit an innocent passerby not far away.
When Leticia crawled out from under the table, she saw a strange creature with a large hole in its forehead still drinking coffee. This scene was indeed a bit shocking.
“You guy, can your weapons get updated?” But compared to this passerby, Leticia was more concerned about the person who had ambushed her.
As for who ambushed Leticia, it was undoubtedly that beautiful white-haired girl. However, her attire had changed slightly from before. Before, she was wearing a simple white dress, but now, she was wearing a black suit and a tall hat on her head.
And the weapon in her hand had changed from a long sword to a more modern pistol.
This couldn’t help but remind Leticia of a saying.
“Sir, times have changed!”
Unfortunately, she was now the one being pointed at by a gun.
Besides, did it make any difference whether this guy held a gun or not? Her combat effectiveness was clearly higher when she didn’t have a gun.
When she wielded a sword, she could shatter a street with a casual swing, but with a gun, the damage caused by this guy was significantly reduced.
Bang!
The white figure was as usual, pulling the trigger at Leticia without saying a word. The dazzling bullet flew out of the muzzle and straight towards Leticia.
Leticia immediately crouched down and rolled behind the crowd to take cover. Although she didn’t expect these puppets to help the white figure’s attack, it was better to have someone blocking than no one.
Besides, by blending into the crowd, would it be more troublesome for this guy to find her… right?
Maybe?
A few seconds later, Leticia realized something: some people cheat even in dreams, not only cheating but doing so openly.
She had hidden under the table, how could she find her so accurately?
She must have had X-ray vision!
Do you know that doing this will get you banned!
Although a tense and thrilling chase was unfolding in the coffee shop, the people in the store seemed to have not noticed it. They were still going about their business as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Oh, some of them still had large holes caused by gunshots, and some even had only half of their heads left, which looked really strange.
However, because it was a dream, those extremely bloody scenes did not appear. The person with their head blown off did not bleed. Looking into the gap of their head, all they could see was a misty substance, without any scenes that would be unsuitable for children.
“Tch, why does this guy show up everywhere?” Leticia muttered in a low voice. She had almost figured out the white-haired figure’s attack method. Although this guy was aggressive, her marksmanship was truly poor. Even if she stood still and let her shoot… well, she would still be hit.
However, as long as she ran and made some dodging movements, this guy wouldn’t be able to hit her.
And this guy hadn’t moved an inch since she appeared, so perhaps she had a chance to counter-kill!
Leticia clenched the small silver knife she had quietly pocketed from a table. With this knife, she had hope of a counter-kill!
She was now only about ten meters away from that guy. At her rate of firing, she could only fire five shots at most before Leticia reached her. As long as she dodged these five bullets, she could deliver the knife into this guy’s throat.
Since there was hope, she might as well try it. It was a dream, wasn’t it?
With the mentality of “if I die, I die,” Leticia, holding the knife, began her charge.
However, to her surprise, in the face of her charge, the white figure did not fire. Instead, she threw the gun to the ground, as if she had given up resistance.
What was she trying to do?
Leticia was a little confused, but she had already charged. Could she retreat?
Impossible. Even if there was a trap, she had to go all out.
Then, very quickly, Leticia regretted it.
Because that guy drew her sword.
Leticia didn’t know how that sword appeared. It seemed like her eyes flickered, and the long sword appeared in that person’s hand. Then, that person raised the sword and swung it, and a sword light that tore through space appeared.
Sir, the times have returned!
