chapter31：Survive Dream

The wild wolf seemed to have discovered their hiding place and was slowly approaching the big tree where they were. Every step it took carried a sense of oppression. Amy's heart suddenly raced. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She could clearly sense the approaching of death.

At this critical moment, Amy remembered the power of the golden bronze mirror. She closed her eyes, prayed silently in her heart, and then summoned the courage to hold up the golden bronze mirror towards the direction of the wild wolf. A dazzling golden light instantly shot out from the bronze mirror, and time seemed to stand still. The wild wolf stopped in mid - air, its fierce expression frozen on its face, and even the dust it had kicked up was suspended in the air. The whole scene was like a terrifying painting frozen in time.

Jack looked at this scene in astonishment, his eyes wide open. But he quickly regained his composure and said, "Let's go!" Lucy also shouted, "Quick, while we can!"

They took advantage of this one - minute time and ran desperately towards the edge of the forest. The leaves under their feet rustled as if playing a tense melody for their escape.

When they ran out of the forest, time returned to normal, and the angry roar of the wild wolf came from behind. The sound echoed in the forest for a long time.

"This golden bronze mirror really saved our lives," Jack said with lingering fear.

Amy nodded. Looking at the golden bronze mirror in her hand, her eyes were full of awe. "This is not only a magical treasure but also Lily's hope and blessing for us. We must take good care of it."

Lucy let out a long sigh of relief. "Thanks to this golden bronze mirror today. But after this incident, we know that the world is full of unknown dangers. We should be more careful in the future."

"Yes," Amy said. "And we can't let Lily down either."

With caution and expectation for the future, they slowly left the forest. And the light of the golden bronze mirror seemed even more dazzling in the sunlight, as if silently guarding their way forward.

...

Amy, Jack, and Lucy slowly came to the riverside and found a comfortable place to sit and rest. The gurgling river flowed at their feet, making a crisp sound, as if telling an ancient story.

Jack stretched himself lazily and said contentedly, "After so many things, sitting here now makes me feel extremely relaxed."

Amy smiled and nodded. "Yes, but it also makes me realize that our lives are full of uncertainties, so we should cherish the present peace more."

Lucy looked at them curiously, her eyes bright. "What you said is so reasonable. Then have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? I mean, like your dreams?"

Jack put his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky. "Me? I want to be a great adventurer, explore those mysterious places that have never been discovered, and record all those wonderful experiences and share them with the whole world."

Amy looked yearning. "It sounds exciting. As for me, I want to be a detective, able to solve all kinds of difficult problems in society and bring hope to those who are suffering."

Lucy held her chin in her hands, her eyes full of longing. "Your dreams are so great."

Amy looked at Lucy's innocent appearance and suddenly remembered Lucy's miserable encounter in the misaligned time last time. Her expression became a little solemn. After hesitating for a moment, she still said, "Lucy, I want to tell you something. Do you know that in a very special experience before, I saw your future, and it was a very bad result. You... you will encounter very tragic things if you engage in politics or art in the future. So, I want to suggest that you should never engage in politics or art."

Lucy's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Amy, you saw such a thing?"

Amy nodded seriously. "Yes, Lucy. I know it sounds incredible, but I really saw it. I don't want you to get into such danger and pain."

A moment of confusion flashed across Lucy's face, but she quickly regained her calm. "Amy, thank you for telling me this. I believe you won't lie to me."

Amy gently held Lucy's hand, took out the golden bronze mirror from her arms, and placed it solemnly in Lucy's palm. "Lucy, this golden bronze mirror has magical power. It once saved our lives. I'm giving it to you now. I hope it can protect you and keep you safe and healthy all your life."

Lucy looked at the golden bronze mirror in her hand, a little at a loss. "Amy, it's too precious. I can't take it. This was given to you by Lily. You should keep it."

Amy shook her head gently. "No, Lucy. I think you need it more than I do. You are like our little sister. We all hope you can be well. Moreover, with this bronze mirror in your hands, I believe it will play a greater role."

Jack also chimed in. "Yes, Lucy. Just take it. This is also Amy's sincere wish."

Lucy's eyes glistened with tears of gratitude. "Thank you, Amy, Jack. You are so kind to me. I will take good care of this golden bronze mirror."

Amy patted Lucy's shoulder gently. "As long as you are okay, we will be at ease."

Lucy held the golden bronze mirror tightly, as if holding the most precious thing in the world. "I will remember your words. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, I will try my best to avoid those dangerous things. And I also hope you can achieve your dreams."

Jack laughed. "Of course. We will all strive for our dreams. However, no matter where we go, we will always be good friends and support each other."

Amy also smiled. "Yes, just like this river. No matter how many obstacles it encounters, it always flows forward. Our friendship will also last like this."

The gentle breeze by the river blew their hair and also blew up their hopes for the future and their deep blessings for each other. At this peaceful moment, the hearts of the three were full of warmth and strength. It seemed that no matter how rough and bumpy the road ahead was, as long as they worked together and walked side by side, no obstacle could stand in their way. This was a belief, like a lighthouse in the dark, giving them strength in the face of unknown dangers.

...

Amy, Jack, and Lucy returned to the villa safely in the afternoon. As soon as they stepped into the villa, they saw that the butler had arranged everything properly. The Western - style pastries were displayed on the table like exquisite works of art made by a master, emitting an alluring sweet smell. The smell was like a sweet bait thrown by the devil, exuding a dangerous temptation; the European - style music was like a nimble spirit, hovering faintly in the entire hall. The notes were like spells hiding secrets, weaving a mysterious atmosphere in the air; the lights were carefully arranged to create a romantic atmosphere, and the soft light was like a gossamer spreading over every corner, but it was also like a curtain hiding unknown fears, which might be lifted at any time to reveal the terrifying truth behind.

The guests were dancing gracefully in the hall. They moved nimbly as their steps crossed and changed. Without any warning, strange things happened - the genders of the guests were constantly switching.

Lucy looked at those guests blankly, not noticing the gender change at all, like a lost lamb in a maze, completely unaware of the danger around her.

However, Amy and Jack keenly noticed this abnormality. Their eyes instantly flashed a hint of vigilance, as if they had smelled the danger, like two leopards sensing danger in the grass.
