Afterwards, Fang Xiu tried several times, even with a knife stuck in his thigh, he still entered the dream world.
At this point, Fang Xiu understood that if he wanted to pass this trial, he could only rely on Zhao Hao himself. As long as he overcame his fear, he could survive.
"This is a safe passage!"
"There must be a way out here!"
At this moment, Fang Xiu turned around and said to Zhao Hao and the others, "There is something strange in the safe passage that can create illusions. Various terrifying things will appear in the illusion, and it may even make you think that you have left the domain, but everything is fake.
The only way to break the illusion is to overcome your fear. The more afraid you are in the illusion, the faster you will die."
"What! There's still something strange here?" One colleague panicked after hearing this.
Judging by his appearance, he was already afraid enough without experiencing the dream world.
"Remember, nothing you see in the illusion is real. Don't be afraid, that's the only way to survive." Fang Xiu advised.
Zhao Hao nodded with lingering fear. He knew Fang Xiu wouldn't lie to him.
"By the way, if you see Li Feifei in the illusion, you can pinch her. The feeling is different from the real one, which is a flaw in the illusion."
Zhao Hao was stunned, "But I've never touched the real one."
Fang Xiu ignored him and opened the door to enter the dream world.
Fang Xiu experienced the same dream world as before. He had tested it before, and everyone in Zhao Hao's dream was fake, which meant that everyone had different dreams.
He couldn't help Zhao Hao in the dream.
Knowing it was a dream, Fang Xiu was even less likely to be afraid, so he quickly dispelled the illusion.
When he woke up, he didn't see anything strange, but saw Zhao Hao and the other two lying on the ground in a twisted and convulsive state. They weren't dead yet.

However, their condition was very bad, and each of their faces was full of terror. Some even started to convulse.
Zhao Hao was using all his strength to strangle himself, his face turning blue, and he was about to suffocate.
Fang Xiu quickly went over and pried his hands apart so that Zhao Hao could breathe smoothly, but his condition still didn't improve.
"Zhao Hao, wake up."
He pushed Zhao Hao, but it was no use.
Slap, slap, slap!
More than a dozen slaps hit Zhao Hao's face, but he still didn't wake up.
Helpless, Fang Xiu had to take out a scalpel and make a cut on Zhao Hao's thigh. He even used a little bit of his pain ability, causing Zhao Hao's expression to become even more painful, but he still couldn't wake up.
After a moment, Zhao Hao's head tilted to the side and he died.
Then Fang Xiu also died.
Afterwards, Fang Xiu tried several more times, but no matter how he reminded Zhao Hao and the others, they would die in their dreams every time. They couldn't overcome their fear.
Fang Xiu fell silent. He wanted to save Zhao Hao, but he couldn't.
He decided to try one last time. If it still didn't work, he could only give up.
How could he help Zhao Hao overcome his fear?
He thought of a method - to shift his attention. Since they couldn't overcome the fear, they had to avoid it.
They needed to find another strong emotion to dilute the fear.
Fear is a natural instinctual emotion, and to deal with it, they had to rely on another instinctual emotion.
Recalling Zhao Hao's characteristics, he didn't seem to have any particular traits, he was just plain-looking, introverted, timid, and a loser who often daydreamed.
The only characteristic was perhaps his "special feature".
Special feature?
Food porn.
This was also a type of instinctual emotion.
Fang Xiu felt he had found a breakthrough.
"Zhao Hao, is your favorite movie 'After-School Lessons with Miss Teacher'?"
Zhao Hao was instantly shocked and lost color in his face. "How did you know, bro? Did you sneak a peek at my phone?"
"Never mind how I know. Now quickly open your phone, turn up the volume, and play this movie out loud."
Zhao Hao began to doubt his ears and stuttered, "Brother Xiu, are you kidding me? If you want to watch it, we can wait until we get out of here. Playing it out loud in public is like taking a shit in the street, what's the difference?"
"I'm not kidding. This is to save your life. Play it now."
Under pressure, Zhao Hao had to take out his cherished movie.
As the background music started, the ominous atmosphere in the creepy hallway seemed to dissipate a little bit.
Both colleagues looked at Zhao Hao with a very strange look.
At this moment, Zhao Hao looked extremely awkward with a flushed face. "You need to take the perspective of the students in the movie seriously, immerse yourself completely, and let your blood boil. Once you enter the dream, don't worry about anything, just close your eyes and immerse yourself completely. Only then can you overcome your fear."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hao nodded and began to focus. "You two also need to use your interests to divert your attention and overcome your fear."
It was clear that the other two colleagues did not have Zhao Hao's unique traits and did not have anything stored on their phones, so they could only watch the movie with Zhao Hao.
This showed that while the types of things that men are interested in may differ, they are generally similar.
Five minutes later, Fang Huo looked at Zhao Hao's tent and felt it was about time, but the other two did not react at all.
It turned out that not just anyone could react in the face of fear.
However, Fang Huo had done all he could do. He then gave some instructions and led them into the door.
The dream attacked.
Fang Huo quickly broke free from the dream and looked at Zhao Hao and the others lying on the ground.
The other two colleagues were as terrified as before, their expressions grimacing as if experiencing something terrible, even appearing to have injuries on their bodies.
On the other hand, although Zhao Hao still showed fear, there was also a hint of lewdness in his expression, and his tent remained standing.
Fang Huo was relieved to see this. It seemed that having unique traits was not always a bad thing.
He remembered a conversation he had had with Zhao Hao, who had once said that one afternoon after waking up, he found that he couldn't open his eyes or move his body, and had experienced sleep paralysis.
It seemed that there was a ghostly woman pressing down on him, who was pale and without any color.
However, his second reaction was to find that this woman was extremely beautiful. He even wanted to kiss her and pouted his lips, but the dream ended just before he could. Zhao Hao had regretted it since then.
At the time, Fang Huo thought that Zhao Hao was joking, but now it seemed that he might have been serious.
He was actually brave enough to go for it with a beautiful ghost.
A modern-day Ning Caichen.
At this moment, the dream seemed to have reached a critical moment. The other two colleagues tilted their necks and bled to death from all seven orifices.
Meanwhile, Zhao Hao's expression became even more terrified, and his tent was about to collapse.
Suddenly, the sleeping Zhao Hao let out a suppressed gasp and a low roar. His tent stood up again, and he unconsciously scratched his chest while occasionally puckering his lips.
