Chapter 329 The [Gate] in the Ritual Knife

She felt that the surrounding environment began to become humid, the air began to become heavy, the light gradually disappeared, the smell of earth and moss rushed into her nose, and she did not know when she was surrounded by granite covered with moss.

She walked down the granite floor until she came to an old elevator at the end of the road.

Underground...why is there an elevator?

Her mind was so muddled in her sleep that she was not clear-headed at all, so that as soon as this idea arose in her mind, it quickly dissipated.

She entered the elevator in confusion and found that there were buttons above the elevator for floors 1 to -100 from top to bottom.

She felt some fear in her hazy heart, but her body in the dream was out of control. She could only watch as she stretched out her hand and pressed the -100 level button.

With a "bang" and the sound of trembling steel hitting the granite wall, the elevator began to fall——

Even in the dream, she was sure that it was a "fall" and not the downward movement of an ordinary elevator.

She waited in confusion and fear for an unknown amount of time before the elevator finally stopped.

The elevator door opened and she stepped out of the elevator. What she saw in front of her was not the dark underground, but the bustling streets of human society!

It’s just that this street is completely different from the street she knows——

The streets are three-dimensional, with roads leading in all directions, which results in the entire city's buildings being quite dense. Those dense and weird buildings are crowded into a small underground space, as if every inch of space must be used.

This place seemed to have a similar social environment to normal human society - she clearly saw the existence of some kind of store.

Most of those stores have billboards made up of bright neon light tubes. Some billboards are even dynamic, like an animation being played——

Alice once saw something called a "television" at her uncle's house, which played black and white "animations".

But compared with the dynamic billboard in front of me, the animation on my uncle's TV looked like a child's boring joke.

The beauty of that thing completely exceeded her imagination.

Humans wearing strange clothes were walking on the streets in all directions. They were just like ordinary humans, but most of them looked very bad.

The people here...

They all seemed to be suffering from some disease.

Out of nowhere, she started trying to have a conversation with the nearest man.

When the man listened to her greeting, his expression suddenly became very surprised - from astonishment to surprise, from surprise to surprise, and the man began to talk to her excitedly.

She couldn't understand the man's words because she was completely attracted by something in the man's neck——

They were some dark green cysts, as ugly as toad eggs, hidden under the skin of the man's neck.

The man realized that she didn't understand him, so he reached out his hand in desperation and tried to grab her shoulders.

But this catch was in vain.

She actually has no physical body.

The expression on the man's face was once again astonished.

After the shock, there was gloom.

He said something loudly and took out a bone knife from his pocket.

She was frightened and didn't realize that she had no body now. She turned around and tried to escape, but the man stabbed her shoulder with a knife.

She actually felt pain in her dream!

She screamed in panic and ran towards the elevator, but there were many people chasing her behind her.

After all, she couldn't escape into the elevator.

Before entering the elevator, her body became light and airy.

She looked down and saw that her body had disappeared.

Before her body completely disappeared, she saw that the people chasing her had turned into some kind of monster——

The black fangs burst out of the lip, and after the eyes exploded, dark green pus and blood flowed from the eye sockets. Countless eyes grew out of the swollen and thickened arms, and those eyes were quickly squeezed in by the exploding flesh and blood...

Before her vision disappeared, she vaguely saw the monsters beginning to bite each other, and the entire underground street was in chaos.

And then……

She woke up.

She was lying on the bed in the dormitory. According to her roommates, after she passed out in the classroom, her classmates sent her back to the dormitory, and she has been sleeping until now.

She told her roommates what she had dreamed about, but they all said she was just dreaming.

If it is a dream, then the dream is too real.

She told the people close to her about her dream, but no one understood her or believed her.

This made her very painful.

The pain lasted until she told Colin Frankenstein about it.

"I trust you."

When Colin said these words, she fell into his dark blue sea-like eyes.

She became his girlfriend and helped him organize some information.

He was already a graduate student at Miskatonic University, and his major was different from hers, but she was still willing to go out of her way to help him.

She still takes the medicine he gave her because she can no longer live without that medicine. Only after taking the medicine will she not have the symptoms of sleepwalking.

Until one day, one morning after waking up, when she looked in the mirror, she in the mirror spoke:

"I have prepared an identity for you. In half a month, after graduation, you will go to work at the Byron Weiss Zoo."

She was so panicked that she looked at herself in the mirror, a complete stranger, and was speechless.

"You...who are you?"

The girl who looked exactly like her in the mirror smiled:

"My name is Turin Lagrange, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Lagrange family who came from the northern plateau and was blessed by the fertility god."

Alice roared at the mirror like crazy:

"What are you talking about! I am Alice!"

The girl in the mirror asked her:

"So, what's your last name?"

Alice opened her mouth to answer, but she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her last name.

She didn't know what was going on, and the fear that filled her body and mind made her speechless.

It was the girl in the mirror who broke the silence.

"You have no surname or identity. You are my shadow."

Listening to her words, Alice suddenly remembered the double image of the destiny star she saw through the telescope that day.

That double image is Turin Lagrange in this mirror.

No……

If she continues like this, she will soon become that non-existent ghost!

She begged:

"I'll find another body for you, okay? I haven't done anything, can you let me go?"

Turin Lagrange said in a calm tone:

"I have always had a body, why do I need you to come find me?"

She raised the corners of her mouth:

"However, I can be merciful and give you some time - while I am sleeping, the power to control this body will be given to you."

Alice was silent.

She thought to herself that when she was awake, she would always have a way to kill Turin Lagrange.

She found Colin Frankenstein and told him about it.

But he showed a ferocious face to her, grabbed her collar with both hands, and asked her with red eyes, where did he hide his Turin Lagrange?

At this moment, Alice almost thought that she was the "fake".

But she clearly remembers most of her memories after birth and knows every major decision she has made in recent years.

She was certain that Turin Lagrange was fake.

But the changes in the body are real——

Her dreams became clearer and clearer, and where she did what she did was, without exception, extremely clear in her memory.

This means that after she fell asleep, Turin Lagrange was awake for her.

Some things began to appear around her, sometimes they were books, sometimes they were specimens, but they were definitely not her own.
