“Wake up…”

“Quickly recall this world…”

“Its true form!”

In her dream, Sophia frowned slightly, hearing a murmur.

Who was speaking?

What true form?

She rubbed her eyes, forcing her eyelids open, but was horrified to find that she wasn’t in her bed at all!

There was no air around her, only a viscous solution.

She tried to move, but easily touched some membrane-like wall.

The originally spacious room had now become the size of a coffin.

Suddenly… a light appeared in front, illuminating the outlines of some shadows.

Looking from afar, it seemed like a pillar covered in some kind of glowing eggs.

Inside those eggs… it seemed there was also… a person?!

Sophia strained to look, and the egg membrane gradually became transparent, allowing her to clearly see the figure inside.

—It was Jasmine!!

“Jasmine! Jasmine! Wake up!”

Sophia pounded on the wall, but her voice couldn’t reach the other side no matter how hard she tried.

Just then, the floor beneath her feet also lit up.

Sophia froze, her breathing stopping instantly.

Because she discovered… she was also inside an egg!

She stiffly looked up, seeing more and more giant eggs light up, like stars rising from under the water.

Inside them were familiar figures: Irene, Eric, and even… Youxi and Andy.

Everyone was curled up in the eggs like fetuses, peacefully asleep, as if they would never wake up.

She and the other outsiders were, in fact, just lost souls sleeping in eggs…

“Hoo—!”

Sophia suddenly sat up, the terrifying scene vanishing abruptly, replaced by the familiar room.

Beside her on the pillow, Li Andy opened his eyes, raised an eyebrow, and reached out to embrace the girl’s trembling shoulders:

“What’s wrong?”

“I… I had a nightmare…”

Sophia’s eyes were unfocused, like a startled small animal, hiding in his arms, stammering out what she had seen and heard in her dream.

As she spoke, her mind couldn’t help but recall Fifth Miss’s words, “Don’t have nightmares casually,” and her heart immediately pounded.

“Heh heh…”

However, Li Andy laughed, pinching her shoulder, and said easily,

“Even if you are a Heart Source, it’s hard to change the world by dreaming.

“Haven’t you had other dreams before?

“If dreaming casually could change the world, wouldn’t this world have been twisted into strange shapes by your wishes long ago?

“Don’t you agree?”

Sophia was stunned; it did seem to be the case.

Li Andy rubbed his nose against her cheek, continuing to comfort her:

“Don’t overthink it. Youxi and I are both here. Just sleep soundly.”

Sophia sniffled, deeply moved, but after closing her eyes, she found she had no sleepiness at all.

“If you can’t sleep, then don’t.”

Li Andy’s hand slowly slid from her shoulder to her soft waist,

“Come, I’ll help you stabilize again.”

“Mm.”

Sophia nodded, allowing herself to be led, slowly entering the state of the Stabilization Ritual.

Perhaps because she was still shaken, she was exceptionally invested this time, completely immersed in every inch of soul interaction.

Youxi, who had already woken up nearby, rubbed her eyes and slowly got up to join them.

Either assisting or taking turns hosting.

Under the continuous scrubbing of her spirit, Sophia finally stopped overthinking, gradually emptying her mind, and following her spiritual instincts.

The originally smooth bedding gradually accumulated many wrinkles and marks.

Only when her energy was exhausted did she softly lean against her family, sinking into a silent dream.

The uncontrollable Heart Image power was now stably constrained within.

In the darkness, a somewhat tired Li Andy turned his head to look at Youxi, who also had her eyes open; a hint of worry flashed in both their eyes.

In the same Heart Image world, Heart Sources could influence each other.

They couldn’t delay; they had to take the initiative…

At the same time, in a corridor of the manor.

Little Six, who was lost, was squatting in a corner, trembling with fear, covering her eyes and sobbing continuously:

“Sister… Sister, where are you…”

As her tears fell, the straight corridor began to invert and displace, becoming increasingly distorted.

“Little Six, I finally found you!”

Just then, Fifth Miss’s angry voice sounded behind her.

“Wah!”

Little Six cried and threw herself into her sister’s arms,

“Fifth Sister, you came so late today…”

Fifth Miss, who was about to continue scolding, suddenly paused, looked back, and felt a chill down her spine.

The crooked, twisted corridor had indeed become longer.

Her red carpet was almost not long enough.

If it were any further… then she really wouldn’t be able to find her sister again.

If she couldn’t find her sister… then the next one to get lost would be her!

“Sister… Sister?”

Little Six’s voice pulled Fifth Miss’s consciousness back, and she asked tearfully,

“Sister, why do I always get lost? Can’t you tell me now?”

Fifth Miss was silent for two seconds, then said:

“As long as you, Little Six, remember your origin, you won’t get lost.”

“Origin? What is origin?” Little Six asked.

Fifth Miss lightly pursed her lips, not answering.

Little Six sniffled, somewhat aggrieved, and changed the question:

“Then what is your origin, Sister?”

“Me? My origin is Little Six…”

“What about Fourth Sister?”

“It’s me.”

Little Six was stunned:

“What about Third Sister?”

“Your Fourth Sister.”

“Second Sister…”

“It’s your Third Sister.”

Little Six was confused. Was her sister teasing her?

According to the pattern, wouldn’t her own origin be Little Seven?

But there was no Little Seven in the manor…

“Alright, I’m just teasing you. There’s no such thing as an origin.” Fifth Miss took Little Six’s hand. “Let’s go back to sleep.”

Little Six pouted, very unhappy.

Fifth Miss thought for a moment, then curved her lips and asked:

“Little Six, do you want to try the guest’s Stabilization Ritual? Maybe it will help you sleep much better?”

Little Six’s eyes gradually widened:

“Rea… Really? How do I do it?”

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her heart stirring, but she didn’t know how to act.

Fifth Miss smiled charmingly:

“We can go back to the room and try slowly.”

“Mm!”

Little Six nodded repeatedly, and because she was a little nervous and excited, she subconsciously tensed her legs, her small toes slightly curled.

Behind her, unnoticed, the inverted, twisted corridor had unknowingly returned to its normal appearance.

Fifth Miss held Little Six’s hand, walking on the red carpet all the way to the end.

…

After a short rest.

The five Jasmine sisters and the three of them, including Li Andy, gathered in the meeting hall again.

At this moment, the sea outside the window was getting darker, and not much light could penetrate down from the sky.

“Mr. Andy, please help us rescue First Miss!”

Second Miss got straight to the point,

“As long as we rescue First Miss, with our combined efforts, we will surely be able to restore this world to normal!”
