The pitch darkness before him was finally dispelled by a speck of light.
Yan Junze didn't know how long he had walked, for ever since he regained consciousness, he felt as if he had been walking endlessly forward in this darkness.
But he didn't feel fatigue, just blindly moved ahead.
The light that appeared before him came from a hazy lantern. The moment Yan Junze saw the lantern, he realized that he was indeed in a dream.
And in this dream, he once again encountered the so-called ancient version of "Freddy"—the Lantern Woman.
This time, the Lantern Woman's way of appearing seemed a bit different. She wasn't squatting on the ground, her back turned to Yan Junze, doing her own thing. Instead, she held the lantern and swaggered into view before him.
It seemed that there was still a distance between himself and the Lantern Woman.
Yan Junze stopped moving, adjusted his direction in the dark, and continued forward, choosing not to meet the Lantern Woman.
