Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352 – The Auction Of The Fortune Building
After Zhang Heng was done with his preparations, he went down to the first floor and closed the alloy door. At the same time, he raised the elevator back to the first floor to restore everything to its original state. Then, he sat back in his car.
At this moment, it had been more than 30 hours since he last closed his eyes. In addition, he had also driven for a long time. It was impossible to say that he was not tired at all. However, after last night’s experience.., zhang Heng didn’t close his eyes either.
Now, he could understand how Han Lu felt after she fell into the [ dream of Death ] . He also understood why the people in Greenland who had nightmares all went crazy in the end, actually, if it was just a nightmare, Zhang Heng would have been able to survive it. After all, compared to ordinary people, he had already lost all his emotions.
The real problem was that the nightmares had caused him to be unable to recover from his sleep. This was the real problem. The sleep that Zhang Heng had during the time-out last night had left him exhausted after waking up. Of course, after that, he had a good night’s sleep, but he wasn’t affected by the nightmares. For the time being, Zhang Heng had no idea what the pattern of the nightmares was.
However, the most important thing now was to get the [ immune crystal ] first. To avoid any complications, Zhang Heng decided to keep his eyes open for the time being. He would sleep after the event was over. After all, he had been carrying it for thirty hours, it wasn’t bad for the next ten hours.
Zhang Heng drove the Polo to a vending machine and bought a cup of Nestle Coffee. He was going to use the caffeine to boost his spirits, but when he opened the can of coffee, his hand suddenly stopped moving, then, he felt a strong wave of drowsiness. He could no longer hold the can of coffee, and his eyelids sank.

Zhang Heng knew that the drowsiness came too suddenly and was somewhat against common sense, but it was difficult to break free from it. The next moment, he was lying on the steering wheel.
This time, in his sleep, Zhang Heng saw something else. It was very similar to the thing that appeared in the story of the museum director. It had the head of an octopus, and its body was covered with tentacles, the thing that formed its body did not look like any known substance on Earth.
It lived in a city filled with tall towers, and at the center of the city was a large hall. When Zhang Heng first saw the hall, he found it familiar. When he looked at it again, he finally realized that.., this was the place where he had been imprisoned in his previous nightmare.
However, the place he had been in at that time was damp and cold, and it was filled with a sense of isolation. Now, even though the city was still filled with evil and all sorts of illogical weirdness, it was still full of vitality.
The monsters in the city lived on land. They covered their heads during the day and went out at night. They bathed their ugly bodies in the moonlight, and it was clear that they lived a good life, the Civilization that they had built was also worthy of praise. They had even fought with another high-level civilization.
Under the situation where neither side could do anything to the other, both sides finally shook hands and made peace. They signed a contract and divided their territories. These octopus monsters were immersed in a happy atmosphere, but the good times did not last long, on a night that seemed to be no different than usual, the stars in the sky suddenly changed drastically. Then, the sea surged crazily and engulfed the city in an instant.
Other than a few octopuses who happened to be away from the city, the rest of the octopuses sank into the sea with the city, never to see the light of day again..

Zhang Heng woke up from the nightmare. The first thing he felt was his wet thighs. The coffee from before had already landed by his feet. Not only did it splash on his pants, it also splashed on the floor mats. Zhang Heng ignored the tiredness, first, he looked at the starfish in his hand.
Thankfully, the time freeze had just ended, so it didn’t affect him much. Zhang Heng settled the coffee liquid on his body and drove to a hotel to check in.
This time, Zhang Heng didn’t expect to be dragged into the dream before he even slept. It seemed like it was impossible for him to reduce the amount of sleep he had to take to slow down the frequency of his soul being attacked, without hesitation, Zhang Heng set an alarm and lay back down on the bed.
He wanted to test whether he would be able to continue sleeping like last time if he fell asleep right after the nightmare. In the end, his second sleep was not disturbed at all. It was four in the afternoon when Zhang Heng got out of bed, he sat in front of the computer to reply to a few emails before putting on a new pair of pants. He also shaved the stubble on the corner of his mouth and put on a new disguise in front of the mirror.
When he left the house, he looked like an accomplished financial worker who had been in the industry for six or seven years. Zhang Heng did not drive his polo. Firstly, the car did not match his current disguise, secondly, it was to prevent anyone from using the car to find out his identity.
After leaving the house, he went to have a simple meal to fill his stomach. Then, he took a taxi to the front door of the building’s headquarters.
Around 12 pm, Ding Si had already sent him an email confirming the start of the auction. As expected, the venue was set to be here. Zhang Heng carried his backpack and walked up to the VIP elevator, after entering the password that Ding Si had sent him, he put on an Ultraman Mask and went to the top floor.
There, a female staff member in a Qipao was already waiting for him. When she saw him, she smiled at him and took out a small basket, “Welcome to this auction. To ensure the safety of our customers, please place your weapon in the small basket in my hand.”
“I’m not armed.”Zhang Heng shook his head.
“Although I trust you, according to the rules, can I search you?”
Zhang Heng gestured for the female staff member to be casual, so the female staff member in the Qipao was not shy at all. She carefully searched every inch of Zhang Heng’s body and then opened Zhang Heng’s backpack, she took out a crown from inside.
“This is my offer for tonight,”Zhang Heng said.
“We’ll get someone to appraise it and keep it safe for you,”the female employee in the Qipao said respectfully. She used a piece of silk to carefully wrap up the [ white horse’s crown ] , “Please follow me, there are already a few guests here.”
“Oh, can I go to the bathroom first? The raw food I ate earlier was a little spoilt.”
“Of course, this way please.”
The female employee in the Qipao led Zhang Heng to the men’s washroom. Sure enough, Zhang Heng couldn’t wait to go in as well. From the looks of it, he was indeed in a hurry. He picked the cubicle closest to the door and rushed in, on the way, he bumped into a man who also looked like a client of Fu Lou.

The Calculator - Supervillainess Time Loop
What makes a terrifying villain? Is it ruthlessness? Is it how powerful they are and how many buildings they can down in one blow? Is it how hard they are to kill, contain, or get rid of in any manner? Is it their knowledge of a hero’s true identity in a world where secrets must be kept? Or is it perhaps how they seem to be perfect in all their actions, defeating the hero at every step of the way throughout to the last one, only to humiliate them one last time before declaring themselves the winner in the grand scheme of things? Isabella Blair is perfect. She knows all your moves before you even make them. All your ambushes are faced with traps and she dodges all your blows like it’s child’s play. Catching her is impossible because she’s always ten steps ahead of you. She says she calculated everything, but she messes up in every fight. She loses far more than she wins, sometimes a hundred times for just one small victory. Yet, she is perfect. How is that possible, you may ask. That’s because she has the uncanny ability to return to the past whenever she makes a mistake. All that’s left in the end can only be what’s perfect if all the realities in which you’ve lost are gone, after all. And that makes for one hell of a terrifying profile. Crossposting on ScribbleHub, SpaceBattles, and Wattpad. Don't mind the "Pre-Rewrite" Volume. It is there for reference until the story catches up to the chapter count via the Rewrite (and to justify the current reviews as there would be no context to them otherwise). If you are a first-time reader, feel free to start from the other Volume.

Honestly the thought just popped into my head yesterday I rather enjoy several different kinds of stories on the site, so I found a way to do a little bit of each. I myself am a high-functioning autistic but that's only shows in my writing for the most part they look will be the occasional grammar mistake and missing apostrophes and periods I'm also using a speech to text feature on my computer that will occasionally slip up. Now for the synopsis of the story: your standard reincarnation seventh hero type deal but there is a little..... Slip up: parts of the person fractals creating several people;; A great-hearted hero, a savvy traveling merchant, and a sadist curious dungeon Lord. Critiques and people reading this is appreciated, I mostly just doing this for fun. And because this is somewhat important for some reason the cover art is not made by me I just got it from search engine. It also may change over time. im mostly following the dl becouse...i don't know.
