I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

In an eerie, dark mountain forest wrapped in a blanket of swamp gas, Shen Lan walked alone, terrified.

It seemed that there was not a living soul around.

As she walked out of the forest, the path in front of her became bright and clear.

In her line of sight was a stream. Water flowed through it, filling the air with a clear burbling sound. Beside it, stood a woman in a white shirt.

Anyone would have been afraid to see such a woman, especially in this situation.

Shen Lan looked at the woman who had her back to her and asked softly, “Who are you?”

“Save me! Only you can bring him to save me!” The woman wept.

“Who can save you?” Shen Lan asked.

“Save me! Only you can bring him to save me!” The woman cried again.

Then, the woman slowly turned around.

Shen Lan widened her eyes at the scene before her.

The woman’s face was pale with fresh blood gushing out of her eyes.

“Ah!” Shen Lan screamed in horror.

“What’s the matter, Shen Lan?” Chen Hao’s concerned voice rang beside her.

At the sound of Chen Hao’s voice, Shen Lan started to calm down.

Her heart was still pounding when she leaped into Chen Hao’s arms.

Chen Hao asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”

“Yes, a horrible one,” Shen Lan said flurriedly, “I dreamt that I was alone in a dark forest and then I saw a woman whose face was covered in blood. She told me to send someone to save her!”

Chen Hao shook his head and said, “Perhaps there’s too much going on recently. You’re probably just exhausted. There is still some time left before the sun comes out, so why don’t you lay back down and rest? I’ll be by your side. Everything will be alright.”

“I can’t fall asleep. Ever since I saw that nameless totem, I have this uncomfortable feeling deep down as if something bad is going to happen. Now that I think of it, that woman’s silhouette looked very familiar!” Shen Lan recalled.

“Familiar?”

“Yes, I told you before that I saw a stone figure resembling a woman on the nameless totem. Her spine was broken and she was sprawling on the floor. That stone figure looked really similar to that woman I saw in my dream!” Shen Lan said with a flushed face.

Perhaps you were just spooked out by the nameless totem.
