Master Wu shook his head, then got up and rolled off the brick bed.
He looked out the window at the barren hill behind the house.
"Time is just a deception in dreams… You might be surprised if I tell you…"
Master Wu didn't finish his sentence immediately. Instead, he gave Su Yu some time to digest the information.
Su Yu patted his chest. "Master Wu, tell me, I can handle it."
"After you guys entered the dream… you only had a long dream. The time in the dream was fake… so the clock, time, and calendar that you saw… were all part of the dream. The dream creator confused you, so you felt that a long time had passed… But in reality, you only spent one night."
"I don't quite understand…" Su Yu was confused.
"Let me put it this way, when a hypnotist appears, it's in the real world. You guys were drugged by the hypnotist and started to hallucinate and eventually entered a dream… In other words, no matter how many dream creators there are, no matter how long the dreams were, their time is limited and they only have one night… So, those guys chose one night to lure you in… At night, after everyone fell asleep, all of you went into a dream… In the real world, it's only been one night, but in the dream, you guys feel like it's been a long time, a month, even a year… or even a lifetime…"
Su Yu was completely dumbfounded.
What Master Wu meant was that it was actually just one night…
That was why Uncle Li said that Qin Chu and Huo Mian were fine when they came back that night.
However, they stopped moving after they fell asleep…
Until now, everything he had experienced, no matter how long it had been in the dream, was a night in reality.
"That's not right, Master Wu. I'm awake now… It's morning, but they're all asleep…"
"That's why I said you are lucky. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have woken up. Even after the dream creator achieved his goal… none of you should be able to come back alive… I don't think the dream creator would be so kind… The most important thing is that you are back, so your time is normal. However, the others are still in their dreams… Of course, they can't wake up… Also, as I said before, once the dream creator makes a move, none of your friends will be able to come back. So now, you can treat your sleeping friends as if they are in a vegetative state."
"D*mn… How can that be… I have so many friends and everyone is in a vegetative state. I'm the only one who's still alive. That's impossible."
Su Yu cursed out loud.
Qin Chu, Mian, An, Tang Chuan, Qin Ning, Wei Liao, Jiang Xiaowei, Gao Ran, Zhu Lingling…
There were so many people, but only he had returned.
If he lost such a large group of friends, what would be the point of him living in this world?
"Master Wu…"
"What do you want now?"
"I know you're resourceful. Can you help me save my friends? I'm willing to do anything."
Su Yu could only place all his hopes on Master Wu.
After all, this person's explanation sounded very reliable.
"I told you, I can't help with this matter, and I don't have the ability to do anything either… Do you know how powerful dream creators are in dreams? They can change the scene at will and attack you at will… I can't even handle one dream creator, and you want me to deal with four? A contestant like me might be tortured to death the moment I entered the dream. Please spare me, I haven't lived enough."
Master Wu's attitude was very clear. He couldn't do anything about it and his abilities were limited.
Su Yu's eyes immediately turned red, and heart-wrenching despair slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
