Immediately after, a chilling intuition washed over her from behind. She decisively grabbed Zhou Chen, ducked, and rolled forward to create some distance.
When she turned to look back, she froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.
A monster that had been flayed alive appeared there. It was a bloody mess, dripping with gore, its muscle fibers and veins clearly visible and shockingly red. It was posed to pat her on the shoulder, like an old friend about to say hello.
If Li Xiye hadn't suddenly become lucid in the dream, the Skinless monster would have already patted her shoulder, and there was no telling what would have happened.
'How did this thing get here... Fuck, did I accidentally get hit with spiritual pollution during the investigation?' Li Xiye's thoughts raced. 'This is my dream. I wonder if I can use my Extraordinary Abilities... No, I don't know enough about it. I can't fight it head-on... I need to wake up quickly and get Zhou Chen to help me clear the pollution.'
