Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 84 Endless Nightmare 12

When Qiuhe suddenly opened his eyes again, he did not let out the slightest scream.

His neck was being tightly gripped, and his body was being held high in the air.

Qiuhe shifted his gaze downwards and saw the strange man. He also noticed that it was pitch black all around him, and he knew that he was currently in the realm of consciousness.

The strange man was now writhing and trembling, his head shaking violently, and his other hand frantically scratching at his skull.

He had even clawed his head until it was a bloody mess, then he spoke in a sharp, angry voice.

"Why? How exactly did you break free from the control of the original body?!"

Qiuhe's memories returned completely, and he was now absolutely certain that he was in the seventh dream.

"Ha, ha ha ha," Qiuhe suddenly let out a mocking and contemptuous laugh.

Finally, with a defiant look on his face, he said, "How about that? Another miscalculation~ Cough! Haha, I thought you were so all-powerful."

In the end, he was nothing more than a clown who could only fawn over me in my dreams.

Hearing Qiuhe's provocative words, the strange man before him was now enraged and tightened his grip on Qiuhe's neck.

"You are nothing but an ant that I can crush at any moment. Here, I am the rule!"

I want you dead. You could die at any moment. If I don't want this dream to end, this dream will continue until the world is destroyed!

Here, I can do whatever I want; I am the master here!

Qiuhe merely smiled dismissively and continued, "Haha, yes, here~"

After saying this, Qiuhe once again mocked the strange man before him with unrestrained laughter.

Each laugh of his was like a slap across the face of the strange man before him.

The strange man had completely lost his mind at this moment. He grabbed Qiu He by the neck and slammed him to the ground.

Then, his other hand instantly transformed into a sharp claw, aiming straight for Qiuhe's face.

Finally, they ripped Qiuhe's entire face off, revealing the scarlet muscle tissue beneath.

However, Qiuhe's laughter did not stop, and finally, the strange man in front of him had bulging veins all over his body.

He roared furiously, tearing at Qiuhe with his claws until Qiuhe's body became a bloody mess and gradually shattered.

Then came the fading of consciousness. But when he suddenly opened his eyes again, he was shocked to find that he had not yet left that space of consciousness.

He was still in that space of consciousness, and the strange man was currently choking him and pressing him firmly to the ground.

"I have said that I am the rule here, and I can take away your memories at any time, making your loved ones die tragically before your eyes countless times."

"May your spirit be shattered countless times!" Upon hearing the strange man's words, Qiuhe couldn't help but recall the shadowy girl who had kept him conscious before.

He thought to himself that this strange man was probably just trying to disturb his mind by saying such things.

After all, if he could truly control his own memories, why would he need to retain them?

He could easily erase his memories, thus tormenting himself and subjecting his consciousness to constant destruction.

But he did not do so, which means that the shadowy girl must be here at this moment, and that the shadowy girl's ability must be superior to his.

"Ha," Qiuhe suddenly sneered, thinking of this. "If you really can steal my memories, why don't you show them to me?"

Qiuhe maintained that mocking expression, as if looking at a fool. "Or perhaps you feel pain, and such things make me feel despair?"

Haha, even if you could achieve everything in my dreams, what could you do to me other than constantly torment me?

The strange man before him was filled with anger and hatred. This was his territory, and he knew it better than anyone else.

Indeed, apart from tormenting Qiuhe repeatedly in his dreams, he was powerless to do anything else.

However, after a long silence, a very strange smile appeared on the strange man's face. Qiuhe was also puzzled when he saw this smile.

"That's right, you're right, I really have no other way but to torture you."

Your physical body is outside, so even if you are killed countless times in a dream, it will be meaningless.

But I know you better than anyone else, no one understands you better than me, except for her.

Qiuhe was also puzzled by this, not understanding what he meant, especially since he mentioned "her".

Qiuhe wondered, who exactly is this so-called "her"? Why does this strange man always mention her?

At this moment, the strange man slowly brought his face closer to Qiuhe and stared intently at him.

"When you know that something will not pose a threat to the people you care about, you will not feel any fear no matter how much you are tortured or even killed."

Even after death, you won't put away that defiant and mocking face. Qiuhe was also greatly shocked when he heard this.

She didn't even know who he was, yet he seemed to know her like the back of his hand, understanding her every whim.

Then, the strange man continued, "But don't forget what I said at the beginning,"

In this dream, I am the rule. If I don't want you to wake up, even if the world ends, you won't awaken.

After hearing his words, Qiuhe pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened, a hint of panic flashing in them.

Seeing Qiuhe's expression, the strange man's face contorted with crimson blood once more, and he spoke with a smile.

"I wonder what their fate would be without your interference."

Meanwhile, at the Hearth House, Clévy, Lily, and Peruvier, who were waiting for dawn, were playing dice.

Moreover, Lily and Peruvier's faces were covered with small white strips, while Clover's face also had many small white strips.

But there was less on their faces than on the two of them. "I guess... it's six!"

Clementine was covering a die with both hands on the bedding when he shouted "Six!" and immediately raised her hands.

The red dot on the die was now clearly visible; it was a six.

Lily: ......

Peruvéli: ......

"Ahhh, my Fontaine Water God! Why?!"

After a moment of frantic activity, Lily scratched her head with both hands, screaming loudly, and finally lay down on the bed with her arms outstretched in a starfish shape.

Clementine's face beamed with delight, and then she ruthlessly picked up the two small white slips of paper.

One was stuck to Lily's face, and the other was stuck to Peruvier's face.

Peruvieri had the most white stripes on his face, covering his entire face, even his eyelids.

Peruvieri then gently blew a breath, and the small white stripe on her lips fluttered back and forth as she blew.

Seeing this, Clementine burst out laughing, then clutched her stomach and lay on the bed, laughing heartily.

Seeing the delighted smile on Clévius's face, Peruvieri also gave a very faint smile in return.

"Yes, Clementine won again. Clementine is great!"

Upon hearing Peruvier's praise, Clavier immediately lifted her legs, intending to do a somersault.

The result was that she flopped onto the bed like a salted fish, and seeing that she hadn't succeeded, Claire tried again.

After failing again, Claire remained silent for a moment, then suddenly sat up and coughed twice to cover her embarrassment.

He then hugged Peruvier and kept rubbing his face against hers.

“Hehe, Pepe is the best,” Peruvieri didn’t say anything, just expressionlessly letting Clover keep rubbing her face against hers.

"Hey, Lei! Lei!" Clévy and Peruvéri were playfully kissing when...

Then they heard Lily calling out Qiuhe's name anxiously from the side, and Clementine and Peruvier also turned to look at Lily.

At this moment, Lily was frantically pushing Qiuhe, and Qiuhe's face showed a very painful expression.

He clenched his teeth, fine beads of sweat streamed down his face, his expression one of extreme pain, and his hands gripped the blankets tightly.

Clementine and Peruvier, witnessing this scene, were also startled. They rushed to Akikawa's side, calling out to her repeatedly.

Meanwhile, in the dream world, the strange man was piercing Qiuhe's chest with his hand, his hand still tightly clutching Qiuhe's heart.

Qiuhe's hand was gripping the strange man's neck, but then blood began to flow from his mouth, and his hand slowly lost its strength.

The strange man's face was also extremely ferocious and twisted. Then, with a forceful squeeze, he directly crushed Qiuhe's heart.

When Qiuhe opened his eyes again, he was lying on the dark ground, dressed in beggar's clothes.

His face was covered in filth, his hair was in complete disarray, and he was in great pain, tears of resentment streaming from his eyes.

The strange man slowly walked up to Qiuhe and grabbed Qiuhe's head with one hand. "Yes, that's right, this is the expression you should have."

The strange man was now speaking in a completely deranged voice, shouting, "This is the face I wanted to see! Hahahahahaha!"

From the moment Qiuhe realized he couldn't escape the dream and that time in reality was constantly passing, he began to break down.

Without his intervention, Claire and the others would have repeated that tragic ending.

Those he loves and cares about will all die in the end. Out of anger, Qiuhe forcefully resists the strange man.

He had been repeatedly killed by that strange man 1800 times. In this dream, that strange man used all the tortures of the eighteen levels of hell on Qiuhe.

Furthermore, each form of torture was repeated 100 times, resulting in Qiuhe being tormented a total of 1800 times.
