It was the sound of water dripping into water.
It was... the last and only sound Dan Fangze had heard in yesterday's dream.
Dan Fangze suddenly had a theory.
He hadn't dreamed the same dream again.
Instead, he'd dreamed a continuation of yesterday's dream.
Was this some kind of TV serial?
Dan Fangze was at a loss.
He lowered his head to look at the ground, already prepared to see nothing.
But his eyes suddenly widened at the sight of tiny silver glimmers.
That was... rippling water!
Water?!
How could there be water here?!
Wait, that wasn't the point.
Only belatedly realizing that his pant leg was wet, Dan Fangze instinctively lifted one foot.
The real question was, how had water appeared under his feet?!
It hadn't been there before!
Dan Fangze was about to run to the side when he realized he couldn't move the foot still in the water.
It was as if something had grabbed hold of it.
His body was slowly sinking.
Dan Fangze began to panic.
What was going on? Hadn't it been a shallow puddle?
Why did it suddenly seem bottomless?
Panic washed over him.
His emotions made Dan Fangze, standing on one leg, stumble.
A cold sweat broke across his brow, but thanks to years of training, Dan Fangze managed to keep his balance.
Standing on one leg, he couldn't even struggle.
He didn't know whether his other foot would become just as immobile if he put it down in the water.
He didn't dare take the chance.
If he couldn't move either foot, then all that awaited him... was sinking to the bottom.
But being trapped with one foot wasn't any better than having both feet trapped.
He was like a helpless boat
