The landfill occupies quite a large area. Wu Xian and Sun Dasheng worked tirelessly all morning, but they didn't even clear a complete tour route. By noon, Sun Dasheng sat on an old tire, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said, "Damn, I've never worked this hard for myself. Xian, I guess I've made it up to you." Wu Xian threw him a bottle of mineral water. "Yes, yes, yes. I'll always remember Monkey's great kindness." "Stop remembering. If there's no barbecue and beer tonight, I'll be mad at you!" "Okay, okay! There will be plenty of beer tonight!" Wu Xian observed that his buddy didn't slack off at all. It's rare to have a friend who would do anything for you. So, he didn't bring up the gambling tonight. Win or lose, he had to reward Sun Dasheng. "Alright, I'll go deliver some parcels and come back to help you in the afternoon." Sun Dasheng disappeared in a flash, his boundless energy making Wu Xian envious. He felt like he was dying after a busy morning. He decided to go back to the hotel, grab something to eat later, take a nap, and then continue working. Either way, he had to get some progress before nightfall. Exhausted, Wu Xian dragged himself back to his room, ate two pieces of bread and drank some cold water before falling asleep. He quickly fell into a deep sleep amidst the cacophony of cicadas. ...

In a daze, Wu Xian suddenly woke up. It was pitch black around him. What? Did he sleep until dark? Damn it, that buddy didn't even come to wake him up. He was about to get up when he realized he wasn't even on the bed. He was in a dark and narrow space. Since he didn't know where he was, Wu Xian hesitated to move. Wait, he clearly remembered lying on the bed after a busy morning, taking a nap... So, was he dreaming now? He pinched his thigh hard. It didn't hurt! It didn't hurt at all! Wu Xian felt relieved. He thought he was being kidnapped in his dream, but it turns out he was just dreaming. Such a clear dream was a first for him. If he didn't explore his subconscious, it would be a waste of a rare opportunity. With this in mind, Wu Xian slowly walked towards the dimly lit corridor. Under normal circumstances, he would have been terrified in such a dark and gloomy environment, especially with occasional screams coming from the distance and the stench that had been lingering since earlier. But at this moment, he felt no fear at all, as if he were strolling in his own backyard during the daytime. Huh, this is what a dream controlled by oneself feels like? My territory, my rules, so he wouldn't be influenced by external factors. Interesting. Wu Xian's steps became even bigger. Since he didn't feel afraid in the dream, there was nothing to stop him from exploring his subconscious world. "La la la..." He even cheerfully started singing a little tune. After walking through a very dark corridor, he came face to face with a row of rusty, low-ceilinged prison cells. Each cell seemed to contain a ragged and badly injured woman. Wu Xian suddenly felt a wave of fear. Damn, is his inner self that dark? He was a normal guy, full of sunshine and hope for the future. He only occasionally watched some action movies from Japan, and he never had inappropriate thoughts about women. As for girlfriends or wives, he hadn't thought about them before achieving success in his career. They say dreams reflect our true desires, but what he saw in front of him made him afraid to look a second time. Could it be that he had a hidden anti-social personality until now, because he hid it so well, not even he himself had noticed it?No, no, no! There must be some mistake! He wanted to open the cage and set these poor women free. But every time his fingers were about to touch the iron bars, he was pushed back by an unseen force, unable to approach them. "Wu Xian..." he muttered.

Damn it, is my dark inner self really that stubborn? I refuse to believe this!

Wu Xian continued to walk briskly, desperately wanting to escape from this hellish scene, while also thinking about how to break these cages and free his stubborn heart. And at that moment, he unconsciously walked to the end of the corridor.

There was a half-opened door with a strong smell of blood coming from inside, almost making Wu Xian nauseous. He immediately realized that there must be something extraordinary behind that door, perhaps even a gruesome scene of prisoners being dismembered.

He hesitated, unsure whether or not to push open this final door. Damn it, thinking that he, a well-behaved young man, would secretly be so cruel...

No, this couldn't be him! This dream must be mistaken!

He had to correct this error!

So, as the first step, he had to face the blood! He also noticed a difference between this door and the iron bars he couldn't touch before - his fingers could touch the surface of the door, meaning it could be pushed open.

Although he had lost his fear by now and didn't know what it meant to be scared, the smell of blood made his mood even heavier. He had no idea who was suffering behind that door.

"Creak..."

Taking a deep breath and after enough psychological preparation, Wu Xian finally pushed open the door.

But what he saw in front of him caused his eyes to sting, and an uncontrollable surge of anger erupted within him. He saw a blond woman hanging in the air with her hands bound by iron rings, her body limp. Below her knees, there was only a white bone, with a bit of flesh and blood still clinging on.

Squatting beneath her was a middle-aged man with a hunched figure. When he turned his face, Wu Xian could clearly see the large nose that occupied almost half of his face. In the man's left hand, there was a blood-soaked cloth, and in his right hand, a shiny dagger.

Under his feet, there was a pile of flesh and blood, stacked like a pyramid. Perhaps due to several days passing, it was crawling with maggots. Even if an ordinary person glanced at it, their hair would stand on end and their scalp would go numb.

"Bastard! Bastard!" Wu Xian's anger surged, and he immediately kicked out with all his might. However, his foot went straight through the man with the large nose, causing no harm whatsoever.

Damn it! What the hell is going on?

Is this still my dream?
