Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 855 - 153:

In other words, Zheng Haiyang's behavior would gradually provoke Tan Wenbin's awakening, reminding him of the Corpse Recovery Diver, the Dragon King... his own Brother Xiao Yuan.

Moreover, it's obvious that the storyline on the radio has already slowed down at this time.

Tan Wenbin seemed to see some terrifying scene and began to run away;

Zheng Haiyang followed closely step by step, determined to catch up to him no matter where Tan Wenbin hid, to express his grievances and discontent.

The two of them appeared to have turned the hospital into a private "amusement park," playing a game of cat and mouse.

Li Zhiyuan suspected that if this continued, it would force Tan Wenbin to instinctively counterattack, subsequently remembering memories that shouldn't exist in this Dream background.

Yin Meng: "What on earth is going on?"

Run Sheng: "Why does it feel like Zhuangzhuang's dream is a bit strange?"

Lin Shuyou: "Could Brother Bin be in danger if he continues like this?"

The voices of the other three companions in the car echoed in Li Zhiyuan's ears.

Li Zhiyuan remained silent, expressionless.

Earlier, when Tan Wenbin suddenly dozed off on the steering wheel, they were very anxious, but still within normal boundaries.

But now, their reactions have already started to warp slightly.

Since Tan Wenbin dozed off, Li Zhiyuan hadn't said a word while the radio played; apart from adjusting the volume midway, he did nothing else.

He didn't even attempt any methods to try and wake Tan Wenbin.

Logically, his reaction would make others in the team stay quiet, no matter how worried or anxious they were.

Thus, now they are speaking on behalf of others.

Li Zhiyuan leaned sideways, resting his head against the car window.

Is it you, Dream Ghost, not knowing what changes have occurred?

This is really interesting.

It's a pity he can't laugh out loud.

The last time they had a meeting, Li Zhiyuan mentioned that he was unsure if everyone present at the next meeting would still be themselves.

In fact, even before reaching the amusement park, ever since he got into this yellow little pickup, Li Zhiyuan had already presumed that his companions in the car had all been replaced.

Facing their inquiries, he certainly wasn't going to analyze or explain.

Even though Tan Wenbin was dozing right in front of him, most likely, he himself was also in a dream.

Run Sheng, Yin Meng, and Lin Shuyou might also be bearing the exact same impact as Tan Wenbin in their own unique dreamscapes.

Li Zhiyuan even suspected that the dream environment he was currently in wasn't a continuous timeline but had interruptions in between.

Including this segment of Tan Wenbin in the radio, it wasn't the first time.

The Dream Ghost purposely created this environment for him, including the "plot" presented on the radio, with the purpose of drawing some information from him.

If that's the case, it only further proves... it's not just in a panic, it's scared.

This is also why it's willing to change its style and open a special session just for him.

His current position indeed felt a bit like a guest commentator on a variety show on TV.

Truly, he really wanted to laugh.

This very feeling was the original intent behind his decision to take this path, seeking this kind of amusement.

So, was he "plucked" from his originally arranged dreamscape and placed into this new set?

The young man was very curious about what had happened in his original dream.

By common sense, it should be what he feared most in his heart and least wanted to face.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyuan frowned.

He knew the answer.

This answer, even the mere thought of it, made him feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.

At that moment, Run Sheng, Lin Shuyou, and Yin Meng all turned their gaze to the young man in the car.

They, or rather the Dream Ghosts behind them, misunderstood Li Zhiyuan's emotional expression.

The young man wasn't the least bit concerned about Tan Wenbin's matter.

Li Zhiyuan reached out, gently stroking his own brow, imagining how Alii once smoothed it for him; he indeed felt like he needed to pin a few more nails into the human mask on his face.

Suddenly, Run Sheng, Yin Meng, and Lin Shuyou spoke in unison with the same tone:

"After all, what happened?"

It completely dropped the pretense.

Despite being the true master of the present environment, it was willing to go against its own pride principles, choosing a breaking-the-fourth-wall method to negotiate with him.

Li Zhiyuan believed that if he responded now, they could still discuss conditions.

The Dream Ghost is certainly not nurtured by the hand behind the scenes; such causal relations are too deep, so the Dream Ghost itself has strong autonomy and might have tacitly agreed to this arrangement because it benefits in some way.

Theoretically, there is indeed a possibility of both sides becoming "frenemies" as long as it feels that its losses are out of proportion to its gains, making it possible for it to choose to leave the negotiating table.

But, why should I?

Coming and going as you please, where in the world is there such a convenient thing.

I'm the type of River Walker who can't admit defeat after lighting up the lamp twice, like a gambler in reality who is utterly reddened with rage and has staked their life completely.

Yet without having emotions to expose, in reality, I should be the kind of person who, whoever provokes me, I'd fight to the death with them, even at the cost of mutual destruction.

Seeing that Li Zhiyuan was still unwilling to answer, the three Run Sheng spoke again in unison:

"Let's talk."

Li Zhiyuan remained silent; there's nothing to discuss.

In fact, he himself could not control the current situation, and what's more gratifying, the Dream Ghost probably couldn't either.
