The white pill dissolved the black ocean, and Banban's body sank into the sea while his consciousness felt like it was continually rising.
Layers of nightmares burst open like bubbles, and while his body lay at the seabed, Banban opened his eyes.
It felt like waking up from an unbelievably long and terrifying nightmare. Memories belonging to Shen Luo and Banban surged in like a tide. He saw a nearly flattened bloody city, the dispersed black mist, and the deep world forever shrouded in night.
"This is... Xinhu."
When the words Xinhu appeared in his mind, the torn city in Banban's mind completed its final fusion. He woke completely from the delirium nightmare, but his face showed no trace of joy, for he understood the significance of waking up from the dream.
Pain came, and Banban realized he was blind in one eye, his half body covered by a curse.
