[The door stops moving, and for a moment it seems that all is calm.
But then there's a sharp pain in Gengar/Lu Meng's chest. Their collective view falls down and sees cold steel drenched in blood, emerging from the mouth of a golden dragon-head. The blade lifts, and their body is lifted along with it, blood spilling from the wound. Tissue and nerves are ripped open, and on Lu Meng's part at least he feels the pain of the stab.
And then, his arms begin to move, not of his own volition. Like a puppet being played by string, his hands are directed towards the wound. Fingers dig into the broken skin, and then they begin to pull.
The pain is terrible, but nothing compares to the shock of fear that shoots straight through his body when he hears a deep voice behind him, speaking a language that Lu Meng knows but Gengar probably can't understand. But the tone is threatening, angry, rolling out like thunder and grating on the ears.
By now his fingers can feel the bone inside, and try as he might he can't fight back. He's too stuck in the dream...or is he stuck in the past? Whichever it is, he has no power to pull himself off the blade and take back his reality.]
