Chapter 18: Devouring into Dreams, Memories Evoked (1)
In the night market, a pair of handsome men and women are pressing the road side by side, which is very eye-catching.
The girl with a good figure walked by herself in sunglasses, and the boy walked beside her with his hands in his pockets and a smile. Then the boy felt that he was a little angry, and wanted to put on the girl's shoulder, and then ......
"Whew-"
The boy hurriedly withdrew his hand that was electrocuted. The girl asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" The boy smiled and said that it was okay, and secretly complained. Captain, shouldn't you be intimate if you want to pretend to be a couple? Why don't you come by yourself?
A joking voice came from the miniature walkie-talkie in the boy's ear: "It's just a show, don't take it too seriously, if you don't want Boss Li to electrocute you." ”
Another cold voice said: "Night Mist Shadow, carefully investigate, there are too many words." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Lan Xiaoyan, who was pretending to be a couple with Lin Xueqi, looked up to the sky and sighed. If he knew it was such a chore, he wouldn't take it on himself.
Before the action, everyone was making a plan, and after checking the suspected cases committed by Mengkui in the past few years, Night Mist Shadow proposed: "Look at it this way, this Mengkui likes to eat women, especially likes to attack couples on dates, eat women in front of the man, drive the man crazy, and then judge whether to eat or kill according to the man's appearance." ”
"Wow! It sounds disgusting and scary, but it's a little exciting. Lan Xiaoyan said, "Then will she eat with high or low appearance?"
"Judging from the photos of the victims, the ones who ate them were good-looking, maybe they were ugly and couldn't be eaten!"
Zhuo Yuxi on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "How can such a tragic thing come out of your mouth as if it is commonplace." ”
"Xiaoxi, like the demon, is a detached existence from nature, so our vision must also be detached from nature. By looking down on these lives and deaths, we can reduce the impact of our emotions. Lin Xueqi said indifferently.
"Xueqi, this really doesn't look like what you would say. Zhuo Yuxi disagreed, "As demon exterminators, don't we just want to protect human beings?
"It's not ruthless, it's just that you don't have to be sad about what has happened. The most meaningful tribute to the dead can only be achieved by exterminating these slaughterers to the best of our ability. Lin Xueqi was startled after speaking, and asked Li Shaoming beside her, "It seems that you told me this, but when did it be?"
"I used to say it casually when I was fighting monsters. Li Shaoming explained, but his brows tightened.
"Aren't you going to make a plan? Why is it being debated?" Night Mist Shadow pulled the topic back and said, "Looking at this previous case, let's just find two couples who pretend to act separately and lure Meng Kui out! Brother Han and Sister Xing, you two don't need to pretend, you two are directly responsible for a couple." Another pair ......"
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Lan Xiaoyan immediately recommended himself, "Which of you wants to go with my partner?" said and looked at Zhuo Yuxi, only to see Zhuo Yuxi throw his head directly to the side.
"Mengkui has seen me, but he can't lead it out!"
"Disguise yourself!"
"No! We don't work together like a couple, like father and daughter. As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay," Lin Xueqi couldn't help but laugh, "Then I can only come." ”
After that, the seven of them divided into two groups and went to the two suspicious locations where Xin Xingchen divined that Mengkui would act tonight. Li Shaoming protected Lan Xiaoyan and Lin Xueqi in the dark, and Zhuo Yuxi protected Han Yinyue and Xin Xingchen in the dark. Night Mist Shadow is in the middle of the ground to reconnoitre remotely, and which group leads out the Dream Kui and brings the other group to support in time.
So on the other side, the real couple Han Yinyue and Xin Xingchen were taking a walk by the lake.
"Couples by the lake can't be attracted. What Meng Kui is looking for is a couple after being single!" Xin Xingchen analyzed carefully, and didn't notice that Han Yinyue, who wanted to hold hands, had a slightly bad face.
"Yan and Xueqi are still in the night market, so they can't attract it. Originally, it was just a test of the waters, and there was no rush for a while. As he spoke, he tried to hold Xin Xingchen's hand again, but obviously Xin Xingchen's mind was not on the date, and he sensed the Quartet with a cautious face, and did not cooperate with Han Yinyue.
"But there are only these two results of my divination, especially on our side, and Meng Kui is the most likely. Han Yinyue couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Xin Xingchen's hand and pulled her into her arms.
"Then why are you talking so much? Let's just do this lonely couple?" said Xin Xingchen and ran away. Zhuo Yuxi, who was secretly observing, also became excited when he saw this, and hurriedly trotted to follow.
When they arrived at an uninhabited alley, Han Yinyue directly knocked Xin Xingchen against the wall and said with a smile: "Aren't we just a couple?
Calm as Xin Xingchen couldn't help blushing, pushed Han Yinyue and said shyly: "What are you doing when you go out on a mission? Xiaoxi is still watching!"
"Just look at it, just look at it! Isn't it just to let Meng Kui see that we are a lonely couple?" said Xin Xingchen's chin and pecked the corner of her lips, "Since we reunited, we haven't had a serious appointment." I want to do a lot of things while this is the chance!" and kissed him again, getting deeper and deeper. Xin Xingchen also changed from the initial rejection to pandering, wrapping his arms around Han Yinyue's neck and responding with a youthful expression.
Zhuo Yuxi excitedly covered her mouth to keep herself from screaming. The live broadcast is so exciting, why didn't anyone watch it with me!
And the night fog shadow surveyed in the distance also took in this scene through the eyes of the Eagle King, and sighed without forgetting the business, turned on the walkie-talkie and said: "Xiaoxi, pay attention, there is a situation over there, Brother Han has set up the intercom, you take care of them." Boss, Yan, you gather at the south gate of the night market, and I will pick you up. ”
The two who were making out naturally sensed it, and Han Yinyue reluctantly ended the kiss, stroked Xin Xingchen's slightly hot cheeks, and said softly: "I haven't seen you like this yet." ”
Xin Xingchen's cheeks turned a little red: "You are, what have you been doing for the past two years......?"
"Very skilled? Don't worry, it's my first time. It's just that in the past two years, I think about it tightly, and I often make up for it. ”
"I'm not ashamed!"
"Today is a special situation, and we have a long way to go. ”
Han Yinyue said and pulled Xin Xingchen to the side, Xin Xingchen jumped up lightly, turned around in the air, and took Han Yinyue to avoid a cloud of black gas.
Meng Kui transformed in the black qi and sneered: "Demon slayer again?" or fear?"
"Ah Yue, Mengkui is immortal and immortal, ordinary attacks are useless, and I can only rely on you. ”
Han Yinyue bowed his head and summoned the startling moon under the cover of Xin Xingchen, and quickly retreated, full of bows: "The river and the sky are the same color, the arc of the bright moon." ”
The light arrow shot straight at him, and Meng Kui dodged to dodge, but he was obviously locked by the light arrow and couldn't avoid it. Hurriedly conjured up more than a dozen phantoms, and the light arrow passed through one of the clones, and immediately opened a sealing circle to devour the clone. The other clones gathered together and turned into a dream.
"Sealing is indeed my nemesis, I know it very well!"
Han Yinyue didn't talk nonsense, and pulled her bow again to shoot light arrows. Meng Kui hurriedly relied on the clone to dodge.
Driving the clouds and carrying the night mist shadow of the other three people looked at the situation below, and said to Han Yinyue, who had already turned on the walkie-talkie: "Mengkui's doppelganger is a life-saving trick, but it is also an Achilles' heel. If she can't recall her clone, let her use Devouring to dream, and if she cracks it one by one, her body will be gone. ”
Han Yinyue drew her bow to identify the entity of Mengkui, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of trick is her devouring dream?"
"Devour the people in the area with doppelgangers and enter a fantasy world, as long as one person dies in the illusion and is eaten by her, she can be resurrected again. ”
"Coverage area?"
"A radius of 100 meters. ”
"Okay, you can bring Yuxi and Xingchen with you in a while, out of the coverage, and I'll break her illusion. ”
"If you're alone, she's not going to use it. Xin Xingchen on the side said, "I'll accompany you." ”
"For her to be able to devour and fall asleep, at least three people must be present. Li Shaoming was on the clouds and instructed Night Mist Shadow and Lan Xiaoyan, "I'll go down with Brother Han and them to besiege Mengkui in a while." You take Rain Creek and leave the coverage area, and if there are any special circumstances, you will have the opportunity to act. Then he glanced at the worried Lin Xueqi and said, "Don't worry! Remember, if you are entangled by Mengkui, you will use the space transfer to escape." Others are okay to say, you can't kill Mengkui alone. ”
"Good. Lin Xueqi also understands the current situation.
Li Shaoming jumped down from the clouds and joined Han Yinyue Xin Xingchen. Meng Kui was still dodging Han Yinyue's light arrows, and as soon as one of the clones broke, he found that two of them were entangled by Xin Xingchen and Li Shaoming, and the clones could not be gathered.
"Yuxi, run!" Zhuo Yuxi, who was waiting in the dark on the other side, ran away, who knew that as soon as Mengkui had a sense, he sent a clone straight towards Zhuo Yuxi, Lan Xiaoyan saw this, and flew down from the clouds to protect her quickly, and the two were swallowed by the black gas turned by the clone.
The devouring dream was already open before everyone could react, seeing that Li Shaoming, Han Yinyue, and Xin Xingchen were also devoured by their trapped clones, it was too late for the night fog shadow to run away with the only remaining Lin Xueqi, seeing that the clone was rushing, he had to push Lin Xueqi away first, and then he was also swallowed by the black gas.
Lin Xueqi looked at all her companions who had disappeared into a dream, and she didn't forget Li Shaoming's advice while panicking, and hurriedly cast a spell: "The trees surround the embankment, and the waves roll frost and snow." Space shifted, but it was bounced back a hundred meters away.
"You're already within the reach of my devouring dreams, and you can't escape. Meng Kui appeared in front of her.
Only then did Lin Xueqi see her appearance clearly, and calmed down and said, "Meng Kui, it's really you." You name yourself so boldly by name. ”
Meng Kui smiled leisurely: "Because even if you know your identity, what can you do to me?" Today I was lucky to catch six fears, eldest lady, you should also fall asleep obediently!" After saying that, he turned into a ball of black gas and wanted to devour Lin Xueqi, but the black gas only passed through Lin Xueqi's body. Mengkui looked at Lin Xueqi, who was also in an unknown situation, suspiciously, "Why didn't you fall asleep? You could have ...... two years ago."
"You saw me two years ago?"
Mengkui approached Lin Xueqi: "You really don't remember me? What did Lei Zhiwei do to you? What about more than ten years ago? Don't you remember this face? This body is called Meng Kui, Xiao Kui's Aoi." ”
The strings of memory are plucked again......
"Kiki......
"Aoi, don't go!"
"Demon Slayer...... You can't save them at all......"
"I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"
"Calm down, it's not your fault, what has happened can't be changed......"
Who was that little figure? whose flesh was blooming before her eyes, who was breaking down and crying in the dark forest, who was shaking her, why was she so panicked?
What are these memory fragments?
