Chapter 40: The Dream Eater

On the outskirts of Kyoto, under a very ordinary house. This is a state-of-the-art laboratory where technicians are conducting urgent testing operations, and the test sample is one of only three remaining samples in the laboratory. Compared to the other two, this one looks a little less aggressive on the outside. But it's also a sight to behold, an apex predator.

Three words are engraved under the cultivation tank, Dream Eater.

That's the name of this sample, and it also represents its capabilities. If the experiment goes well, it will have the nightmarish ability to manipulate dreams. It's a terrible ability, and one of those that the firm hasn't been able to explain with technology until now.

The technician continued to adjust and inject some substances into the culture tank, several of which, after entering the culture medium, clearly caused the dreameater's reaction, it looked painful, its body was constantly flexing, but its eyes were always closed, its movements were only unconscious, it was an instinctive reaction to the stimuli of pain.

Finally, when everything was ready, the technician pumped out the culture medium and emptied the culture tank. The Dream Eater, who had lost the effect of the potion, soon became awake, his body moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Compared to its massive body, the technicians around it seem small, but because of this, they feel that this piece is not perfect. With the ability to manipulate dreams, the Dream Eater should not be so large and have a vicious face, it should be as ordinary as possible so as not to attract attention.

But no matter how many improvements they have made, or even overturned, they have never been able to change the size of the Dream Eater, it has always been so large, and now these few flaws are no longer important, they need more strength to enter. Even if the Dream Eater's true appearance is too eye-catching, it can maintain its human disguise after all.

As long as it doesn't meet someone who is too strong, even if it maintains a human body, the Dream Eater can play a huge role.

The Dream Eater gradually woke up, it looked down at the technicians, there was no expression on the monster's face, and the dark eyes were like a whirlpool, which could not be seen for a long time. After a moment of pause, the Dream Eater's body shrank rapidly, replacing the monster with a young man.

He looked around with a gentle smile on his face, and at first glance, he was a man with a gentle temperament, who could easily bring good impressions to others.

But from the perspective of human posture, the Dream Eater has done quite well, and all the strength data have also met expectations, and Ye Shuo is still very satisfied with the work effect of everyone in the laboratory. He walked up to the Dream Eater, and the other party looked at Ye Shuo with clear eyes.

"From today onwards, you will be called Qingyun. Ye Shuo said with a smile.

The Dream Eater blinked, bowing slightly, as if agreeing with the name. As a special class that can control dreams, Qingyun has lost a lot of things, in his eyes, the real world is obscure, only strange dreams are gorgeous, and at the same time, he has also lost his voice, only in dreams, others can hear his voice.

This was expected at the beginning of the experiment, and they tried to improve it, but it was clear that they had not been able to change their size, let alone sight and sound, which were closely related to the ability to manipulate dreams.

It can only be said that they are still too far from the goal set by Ye Shuo, and their ability is not enough, they need more training, gain a lot of experience, and vital data before they have the slightest chance of completing Ye Shuo's requirements.

Ye Shuo asked people to come up, dressed Qingyun, and then said to him: "Go, find him, and bring him back." ”

Qingyun smiled and nodded, and then his body began to twist and disappear. This is also one of his unique abilities, Dream Shuttle, as long as someone is dreaming, Qingyun can use him to move and change positions.

The four were gone, and the two apex predators were left with no idea what other terrifying abilities they had, but for now, they were sleeping quietly in the cultivation tank.

......

That smell was too profound, Yu Xiao had just experienced it up close, even if it was very faint now, it seemed to be there, he still immediately recognized what it was. Yu Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart, if he had this kind of nose before, it would definitely be much easier to solve the case, and he would not go undercover.

But it's not just his sense of smell here, Yu Xiaoyou knocked on the door, and after a while, the store manager came over and opened the door, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything else to do with the guests?"

Yu Xiao clearly saw that the previous apron was stained with fresh red blood, and noticed Yu Xiao's gaze, the fat middle-aged man also looked down, and then looked up and smiled: "Let the guests smile, the ingredients this time are very powerful, so it took some effort to deal with it, and the body was also very embarrassed." "There's nothing wrong with that, if the ingredients are live birds, if you're not careful, you'll get blood spilled when you're not careful.

But Yu Xiao knew very well that it was not the blood of a bird, it was human blood. The fresh and attractive aroma made Yu Xiao feel sick to herself. He looked at the store manager and said with a smile, "It does look very powerful, I don't know what kind of ingredients it is?"

The fat middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Isn't it clear in the guest's heart?"

This rhetorical question made Yu Xiao stunned, and unconsciously restrained his smile and stared at the store manager. He was able to ask this sentence rhetorically, indicating that he was very likely to know that Yu Xiao could smell the smell and could tell that it was human blood, but they had only met for the first time, how could the store manager know about the changes in his body?

As a thoughtful policeman, Yu Xiao's thinking turned quickly, he didn't speak easily, and after observing in silence for a while. Yu Xiao found that the store manager was different, there was no human smell. Walking on the road before, everyone who passed by, Yu Xiao could smell the tempting fragrance on their bodies, like the smell of food.

But the store manager didn't, he only had blood stains on his apron and the smell was strong, but he didn't have it himself. What does this mean? Combined with the "ingredients" that the fat middle-aged man said before, Yu Xiao had a bold guess that the store manager was the same as him, a man-eating monster.

After a long silence, the store manager spoke first: "Guest, if there is nothing to do, I will go back and continue to process the ingredients." If you want to eat, please come back tomorrow. Yu Xiao didn't say anything in the end, and the changes in his body made his brain really messy. The fat middle-aged man closed the door, Yu Xiao stayed for a while, and when he was about to leave, he heard footsteps gradually approaching.

Looking at the past, it was a boy in his twenties, it was so late, but he was alone, appearing in such a remote place, which made Yu Xiao feel strange, and after feeling it carefully, Yu Xiao's face changed slightly.

Yu Xiao also didn't smell the smell of humans from the boys. The boy also saw Yu Xiao, a smile appeared on his delicate face, his hand went behind his back, as if he was taking something, but Yu Xiao couldn't see what it was.

The boy's eyes and expressions made Yu Xiao uncomfortable, so he ignored it and wanted to go around, but he was shocked to see that a spear suddenly appeared in the boy's empty hand. Yu Xiao watched it appear out of thin air, just like in a novel movie, and he was stunned.

The boy's expression became excited, and he said, "You look like a newborn species, I don't know what it tastes like." Saying that, he attacked with a spear, but Yu Xiao couldn't react at all, and was directly pierced through his body by the spear.

This boy is naturally Chu Xu, killing a weak insect, he still doesn't need to show his true appearance, not to mention that he himself is extremely disgusted with that posture. Even if it is to maintain a human body, his strength is stronger than before, because he has a stronger body, which provides him with more strength and faster speed.

This shot was not enough to solve Yu Xiao, even if he was very weak compared to Chu Xu, Chu Xu naturally wouldn't think that it was that simple, he withdrew the spear, and Yu Xiao stumbled, and just when he was about to completely kill him, a terrifying aura locked on Chu Xu.

This breath made Chu Xu tremble instinctively, but his expression was even more excited, he looked at the restaurant, and laughed: "It turns out that there is a bigger fish, this familiar sense of suppression, you must be very good at eating." ”

The door of the store slowly opened, and the store manager came out with a fat middle-aged face with a calm face, frowning, and said, "Is it a madman?"

Chu Xu had already withdrawn the spear, his veins bulging hideously, and in the diffuse mist, the "beast" revealed its true nature.

Compared to other Wang Yao, the store manager is actually not good at fighting, although it has a strong strength, but he has always been very low-key, never messing with the office, and every once in a while he will change places to stay. But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have any threat, even if he is low-key, his nature will not change, he is still a man-eating bug, a vicious king.

But Chu Xu was even more terrible than him in fighting, and his beast fighting style at all sparing his life caught the store manager off guard, and it also made him annoyed, but he never broke out, because even if this place was very remote, a big movement would definitely attract the office, and the store manager believed that with his Wang Yu's strength, it was enough to solve this madman easily.

Tonight seemed to be very lively, the battle between Chu Xu and the store manager fell into a short stalemate, his murderous style of play did make the store manager feel tricky, but even if the store manager could control it, this battle still quickly attracted onlookers.

The first to arrive was the black crow, who flapped his huge wings and landed on the roof not far away, and seemed to have no intention of interfering, just quietly watching them fight, but the people who came after him were not.

Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Xi came later, but they couldn't figure out why these two "kinds" fought so frantically for a short time, mainly because of this "kind" with almost second-class strength, how dare he provoke Wang Yao? And it seems that he really had a draw with Wang Yao, even if it was short-lived, it was incredible.

After watching it for a while, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know who to help, or whether to solve them all, so she kept hesitating. But because of Chen Xi's arrival, it was obvious that the store manager had put a lot of pressure on him, and he could clearly feel the faint sense of danger in Chen Xi's body. This is also a general Wang Yu like himself, and the store manager must solve Chu Xu as soon as possible, otherwise the snooping of the two Wang Yu is too stressful.

The store manager had no idea if they would interfere, not to mention that he knew the crows, and he had rejected their invitations before, and if the crows came to settle accounts with him, the store manager would be in trouble.
