In the entire process, he didn't hear the monster approaching at all.
The strange figure stood there motionless, with a bizarre smile on its deathly pale face.
All around was silent.
Xia Chenxi could only hear his own heartbeat echoing in his eardrums. He gripped the weapon in his hand tightly, feeling a slight sense of security.
The human and the monster stood there, motionless, for several seconds.
Suddenly, the monster slowly raised its hand, its black nails lightly scraping against the iron door, producing an extremely piercing sound.
A shiver ran down Xia Chenxi's spine, and he became even more tense, staring at the monster with heightened vigilance.
He did not regret his previous rash decision to charge into the room.
Even though he was now trapped at the door by the monster with no way to escape, at least he now had a weapon in his hand, giving him a chance to fight the monster.
The monster still stood there without moving, the malice in its eyes growing deeper, as if it was physically piercing into every inch of Xia Chenxi's skin, causing a chilling fear.
Xia Chenxi forced down the fear rising from his heart, still not making any rash moves, staring intently at the monster.
The grating sound of the monster scraping the door echoed intermittently.
Its eyeballs rotated, its legs opened at a right angle, almost blocking the entire door, and its empty arms made it difficult for its body to maintain perfect balance.
It leaned slightly, looking at Xia Chenxi with a smile filled with even more malice.
—It seemed as if it could rush up at any moment to tear Xia Chenxi apart.
Cold sweat beaded on Xia Chenxi's forehead without him realizing it.
How could this dream be so real?
The most important thing was, although he was clearly dreaming, his thought processes were completely logical and clear.
There was none of the usual absurdity or confusion that comes with dreaming.
Xia Chenxi's heart suddenly sank as a terrifying thought involuntarily surfaced.
Could it be... he wasn't dreaming at all?
But that made no sense.
There were no wounds on his body, which was the strongest proof that he was dreaming.
At this moment, the monster outside the door seemed to be losing patience. Its two-meter-tall body slowly bent, and one of its hands gripped the door frame as its entire body slowly squeezed through the door.
Its body was extraordinarily tall and twisted, making the room feel cramped and suffocating.
Suddenly, an intangible chill began to seep into every pore of Xia Chenxi's body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably, almost dropping his weapon.
Xia Chenxi bit the tip of his tongue, the taste of blood instantly filling his mouth. The pain, along with the taste, felt all too real.
This seemed to contradict the idea that this was a dream.
Now Xia Chenxi was completely unable to distinguish whether this was a dream, but his strong will to survive made him instinctively try to activate the special ability given to him by the mysterious dating simulation game.
This was his only chance of survival.
The next second, a string of text appeared in his mind.
[Dear player, you have activated the [Mighty Strength·Level 1] title.]
