On the second night of our journey, everyone set up their tents, built a fire, and gathered together to chat and eat while admiring the beautiful night sky. Afterwards, everyone retired to their tents to sleep.
Honestly, we were not used to camping in the wild. However, after a full day's fatigue, we didn't care much about comfort and one by one fell into a deep slumber.
Gu Fan had a dream, in which he found himself in a city enveloped in darkness and filled with ancient architecture. As he walked around the desolate city, an eerie silence consumed him.
Unsure of his location, Gu Fan found himself in front of a sacrificial altar with many steps leading upwards. Driven by curiosity, he ascended the steps, with each step echoing bizarre sounds around him.
Upon reaching the highest point of the altar, he was horrified to see twelve of his missing classmates tied to pillars, lifeless, and covered in blood.
