Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 81 Endless Nightmare 9

Terrified by the nightmare, Claire let out a scream that seemed to pierce the sky.

Meanwhile, Peruvieri, who was lying on the other side of the Autumn River, opened her eyes wide as if she had been electrocuted.

Then, her hand instinctively gripped the royal sword beside Qiuhe's pillow like an iron clamp.

The moment she drew her sword, she moved like a nimble cheetah, swiftly leaping over Qiuhe, who was lying in the middle.

Once on the other side, she embraced the still-shaken Claire like a mother would care for her child.

She gripped the sword tightly, her eyes sharp as an eagle's, scanning the entire room like radar in an instant.

If there is any further disturbance at this moment, Peruvieri will strike with her sword like lightning.

But after a long while, there was still no sound from the room. Lily, still half-asleep, woke up.

"What's going on? What's that sound?" Lily rubbed her eyes, looking around sleepily.

Then she found Cléviel lying in Péruvelli's arms, her eyes brimming with tears, like a wounded fawn.

Upon seeing Clementine crying, Lily instantly snapped out of her daze and quickly turned on the room lights.

Finally, she rushed to Clementine's side. "Clementine, why are you crying? Did you bump your head while sleeping?"

Peruvieri scanned the entire room and found nothing amiss. As the room lights were turned on, she became even more certain that she was safe.

Then, she gently lowered the sword in her hand, looked at Claire in her arms, gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and softly asked:

"Clover, what happened? Why are you crying?" Clover gradually calmed down and replied in a tearful voice:

"Peipei, I just had a nightmare, it scared me to death." After saying that, tears started flowing again.

Peruvéli: ...

Lily: ...

After realizing it was a false alarm, Peruvieri placed the royal longsword back beside Akikawa's pillow.

Lily, on the other hand, hugged Clementine like she was comforting a child, gently patting her back to soothe her emotions.

"Okay, okay, Clementine, don't cry anymore. We're all awake now. We'll protect Clementine and won't let the bad guys in your dream hurt her."

When Peruvier placed the sword back beside Akikawa's pillow, she glanced at Akikawa, stared at him for a moment, and then felt that something seemed off.

Qiuhe's face had completely returned to normal, no longer showing the painful struggle it had before.

But Peruvieri sensed something was wrong, though she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Looking closely at Qiuhe's face, one felt as if something had changed. Just as this thought was forming,

Peruvieri suddenly noticed that Akikawa's face seemed to have reflected the light from above.

Peruvée frowned upon noticing this, and gently ran her hand over Akikawa's face, finding it was sweat.

Then Peruvieri looked up at Clevi and Lily, who were still sticking their fingers together.

Finally, I touched my face again and found that I wasn't sweating.

"The temperature inside wasn't very high, and neither Claire, Lily, nor I were sweating."

Thinking of this, Peruvier looked more closely at the spot where Akikawa was lying and noticed that the bedding was somewhat damp.

"Akikawa seems to be sweating a lot, but why?"

Peruvieri looked up at Clementine again, "And, Clementine screamed so loudly just now, although Lily wasn't immediately awakened."

"But how could someone as strong as Qiuhe have such weak perception?"

As she thought of this, Peruvieri's eyes suddenly twitched twice, and a terrifying thought flashed through her mind.

Then he swallowed hard, and with trembling hands, slowly placed them under Qiuhe's nose.

The next second, she felt Akikawa's hot breath, and when she realized that Akikawa was still breathing, Peruvier breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, he also felt that what happened that morning might have made him a little paranoid. He shook his head and then said...

"Clementine, go to sleep. It was just a dream. Don't be afraid, we're all here, everything will be alright."

Upon hearing Peruvé's words, Clévi nodded in agreement.

The three of them eventually returned to their seats and went to sleep, but Claire still felt a lingering fear when she thought about the dream she had just had.

But then he shook his head, thinking that Peruvieri was right, it was just a dream, and he was the captain of the Soft Lamp Realm squad.

If you're too scared to sleep because of a dream, that's too weak. In the end, I made up my mind to stop thinking about it and gradually closed my eyes.

Just as Claire's consciousness was drifting off to sleep, a horrifying, distorted face suddenly flashed before her eyes.

"Ahhh!" With a scream from Clementine, Lily and Peruvier, who had not yet fallen asleep, were also startled awake.

Just like before, Peruvieri instantly appeared beside Clévy and hugged her tightly once again.

Lily turned the light back on, and Claire cried out, "Waaah, Pepe, now every time I close my eyes, that terrifying face appears before me!"

After saying these words, Claire collapsed into Peruvée's arms and began to weep.

In the end, Peruvier could only comfort Claire again, "Well, then I won't sleep. I'll stay with Claire until dawn. With me here, no one can hurt Claire."

Clementine nodded with tears in her eyes after hearing this, and upon reflection, she realized that there were only two hours left until dawn, so there was no point in sleeping or not.

Peruvieri ended up sitting on the bed with Clevis in her arms, waiting for dawn. Lily was also there, waiting for dawn.

However, Peruvieri once again noticed Akikawa's unusual behavior.

When Claire screamed the first time, Akikawa wasn't awakened. Now, when Claire screamed again, Akikawa remained sound asleep, completely unmoved.

Meanwhile, in the dream, Qiuhe is currently doing her homework in the classroom.

The classroom was very quiet until the teacher's reprimand broke it, "Hu Tao~!"

A slightly angry voice suddenly came, startling Hu Tao so much that she trembled all over.

He then quickly turned to look at the teacher, whose face was dark with displeasure, and jumped back into his seat.

Qiuhe noticed it too; a butterfly had flown in through the window and caught Hu Tao's attention.

It was just a little farce, and the students didn't pay any attention to it, continuing to do their homework, and the classroom returned to peace and quiet.

At that moment, a black dot slowly appeared in the full-length mirror on the podium.

The black dot was gradually growing larger, eventually taking the shape of a person, but no one in the class noticed.

Only after the elusive figure slowly took shape did it raise its hand and slam it down on the mirror.

Like the mirror in the clothing store and the glass in the hallway at the beginning, they all flashed a white light like a computer screen.

But this time was different. Qiuhe clearly heard the sound of the mirror being slapped, but only Qiuhe could hear it.

Almost no one in the entire class could hear the sound, and just as Qiu and Huanhuan were about to look up to see what was going on,

I just raised my head a little and vaguely saw a pair of feet in the mirror, "thump thump thump".

Just as Qiuhe was about to move his gaze further up to the top of the mirror, there was a knock at the door.

"Is Chongyun here? Come to my office, I need to talk to you about something."

The students in the class heard the voices and looked towards the door, where a woman with long, silver-white hair was standing.

And she had an antique-looking peach wood hairpin in her hair.

Qiuhe realized she was being called and replied, "Yes," before following the woman out of the classroom.

After Qiuhe left, the classmates started talking about it.

Everyone was wondering why the principal had come to see Qiuhe, when the teacher's voice came from the podium.

"Quiet down, everyone, concentrate on your homework and don't get distracted."

Meanwhile, Qiuhe, who was walking with the woman towards the office in the corridor, was also somewhat bewildered. He seemed not to know who the woman in front of him was.

She had no memory of him in her mind, but just as she was thinking this, a memory suddenly flashed into her mind: "Ningguang, Principal of Liyue Middle School."

Qiuhe then remembered that the person in front of him was Ningguang, the school's principal. Qiuhe then asked...

"Principal, what can I do for you?" Ningguang replied after hearing this, "Recently, your homeroom teacher has been sighing a lot in the office."

"I'm an old friend of your homeroom teacher, and he told me about a student in your class whom he has always valued highly."

"But recently I noticed his grades have slipped slightly, so I came to visit him, hoping to fulfill my responsibilities as a friend and the principal."

Qiuhe understood upon hearing this; she was being pointed at. Then Ningguang spoke again:

"By the way, I heard that you and that classmate named Hu Tao climbed over the school wall together yesterday, is that right?"

"Using VPNs is a very bad and dangerous behavior, and such egregious behavior should be strictly addressed through education and discipline."

"But considering your excellent grades, I can let this go."

"Consider this a verbal reprimand. Don't do this again, Qiuhe."
