"Indeed." Jing Shen's voice echoed again from outside the door, "My main body once heard a legend that in this world, there exists a city adrift between reality and illusion. It is the final destination of all memories, where all kinds of memories accumulate, transforming into an unfathomable and unimaginable city."

"We are now, most likely, within this city."

The masked man was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "The final destination of memories? How many horrors would be here then? How many unspeakable fragments of memory?"

Jing Shen shook his head, "No one knows. The origin of this city is unknown. It existed long before time immemorial. It is said to be connected to people's dreams and the deeper world. Unspeakable existences once entered this city, but ultimately, they all vanished completely, even the shrines that existed in the deeper world disappeared without a trace."

"By your meaning, this seems to be a product of consciousness as well?" the masked man said. The deeper world he inhabited was also a product of human consciousness, teeming with vengeful ghosts, hatred, and unspeakable things, making it very similar to this place.

Jing Shen thought for a moment and said, "There might be some connection, but even for the unspeakable, such things are hard to explain."

Inside and outside the door, Chen Ge and the masked man frowned. Even the unspeakable/ferocious god couldn't explain it. This city was truly mysterious, and it was hard to imagine what kind of dangers it held.

"Eh, someone's here?" A bewitching voice came, belonging to one of the most dangerous women in Chen Ge's eyes. She wore a bright red coat, and her lips were stained with blood, or perhaps a crimson lipstick.

Neat black hair cascaded down her back, and her pale fingers held a sharp knife, giving off a startling, morbid beauty.

As soon as she said this, Chen Ge and his companions inside the door became even more vigilant. A bloody hue spread across Xu Yin and the others, like threads filling the compartment. The human-head balloon that was originally in the compartment was instantly annihilated.

"Crack!"

"Hide first." The door opposite Chen Ge and his companions was opened, and the masked man said, as they also seemed to sense extreme danger behind the other door, so they did not approach.

"Not us?" Chen Ge was taken aback, but he soon heard a series of footsteps. Judging from the sound, there were two people.

Before long, the footsteps outside the door became clearer, and through the crack in the door, Chen Ge saw two figures.

Judging from their figures, it was a man and a woman. The woman wore blood-red high heels and a motley-colored long dress that covered her ankles, while the man wore a suit, with a strange flower pinned to his chest.

Of course, the most striking thing was that both of them wore masks. The woman's snow-white neck had a paper mask with bizarre patterns covering her cheeks.

The man's face, on the other hand, was covered by a seemingly ordinary mask, half black and half white, like the good and evil sides of a person, giving a sense of disharmony.

The two "people" slowly approached, eventually stopping in front of the door where Chen Ge and the masked man were.

They did not have a particularly strong aura, but even the Red Specters like Xu Yin seemed to encounter a natural enemy when they saw them. The bloody hue surged as if to swallow everything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come out."

A voice sounded. The man spoke, his voice calm but young.

However, no one dared to underestimate them. They seemed to be the masters of this deep dream. Even with Red Specters by their side, Chen Ge and his companions could not feel a sense of security.

But at this moment, they had been discovered, without a doubt, and they could not hide.

At the same time, the two doors opened in unison. Chen Ge's group and the masked man's group appeared simultaneously. The faces of the people opposite them wore expressions of surprise, as they did not expect that there was another group of people hidden on their side.

They thought that the door behind them was extremely dangerous, but who would have thought that it was actually another group.

"Interesting, two ordinary mortals protected by vengeful ghosts." The man wearing the black-and-white mask seemed to smile, his eyes scrutinizing Chen Ge and the masked man opposite him.

Surrounding them were ghosts of various levels, with Red Specter-level monsters on both sides, but the man wearing the black-and-white mask and the woman wearing the paper mask did not seem to be afraid at all.

Chen Ge could not feel any aura of vengeful ghosts from them. Instead, he felt that these two people were alive, but no matter how strong a living person was, how could they be a match for a Red Specter? How could they make a Red Specter feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, unable to conceal their own ferocious aura?

"Eh… someone abandoned by fate?" Just as Chen Ge was pondering, the man wearing the black-and-white mask saw Shen Luo behind Chen Ge. "Strange, according to reason, your fate should be extremely unlucky, but now it is completely suppressed…"

"You… what are you talking about? I don't understand." Shen Luo involuntarily took half a step back. The man in front of him gave him an extremely strange feeling, making him tremble from the bottom of his heart, completely unwilling to approach him.

"You don't need to understand." The black-and-white masked man shook his head. After all, fate was involved, and it could not be revealed casually, otherwise their "enemies" might find out.

"And you… you once peered into the deep dream from the middle dream. I didn't expect you to actually come in this time." Then, he looked at Jiang Xuan, as if he had seen Jiang Xuan before. "Clearly just a remnant, yet you dare to enter here? Are you trying to find your main body?"

His words shocked Chen Ge, and in conjunction with the previous conversation between Jing Shen and the man, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

This "Jiang Xuan" might actually be a remnant of a ferocious god, just like Jing Shen!

The group opposite them seemed to have guessed as well. Jing Shen also looked over, with a kind of emotion called "misery loves company" in his eyes, as if he was curious about what this person had encountered, that he was only left with a remnant.

"This is the end of memory. I chased from reality to the deep dream, and there must be a result." Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, and his expression did not change at all when his identity was exposed.

"Hahaha… interesting." The black-and-white masked man laughed loudly. "Finding your main body in this city is not that easy."

"Listening to your meaning, do you know the whereabouts of my main body?" Jiang Xuan asked back, but his tone did not change at all. Those who knew him understood that he was looking for his main body, while those who didn't know would have thought he was asking unrelated people.

"Hehe…" The black-and-white masked man chuckled, "This city hides countless mysteries, and even we dare not say that we know everything… However, your main body is not difficult to find."

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Jiang Xuan's face also seemed to be wearing a mask, giving Chen Ge the illusion that the person in front of him was extremely similar to the High Doctor he was familiar with.

Their hearts seemed to be drowned in endless despair, imprisoned by shackles, and no one could see through their hearts, nor could anyone know their true thoughts.

"Hehe." The black-and-white masked man looked at Chen Ge, Jiang Xuan, and the man wearing the beast-face mask, chuckled, and slowly walked towards the corridor. "Follow us."

The woman wearing the paper mask followed closely behind. Chen Ge and the man wearing the beast-face mask looked at each other, and each of them took their vengeful ghost "family" and followed.

The structure of the interior of this building was generally spiral and upward. To reach the next floor, one had to pass through the corridor of the previous floor, so one could see the compartments on both sides.

It was not until the eighteenth floor that changes began to appear. The color of the walls turned dark black, and walking on it was like walking on the abyss. After passing the eighteenth floor, one arrived at the top floor of this building.

Various sundries were piled up here, also some kind of abandoned memory, but there was also a difference. The largest space on the entire nineteenth floor was occupied by a large clock.

Huge gears and mechanical parts as tall as a person, twisted steel like supports, just like that, a large clock was erected on the top of this building.
