Beautiful fireworks burst into the night sky, illuminating the city below and heralding the arrival of the new year.

"Happy New Year, Mom, Dad. ”

On the rooftop of the top floor of the building, Lin Chu looked at the fireworks in the sky, lazily lying on the railing on the edge of the rooftop, raised the wine bottle in his hand to the sky, and then raised his head and took a sip.

And suddenly—

With a bang, the door at the entrance to the rooftop was kicked open.

Ten men in neat black suits and gas masks rushed out from inside the door and quickly scattered to surround Lin Chu, completely blocking all his escape routes.

Lin Chu didn't seem to notice it, he just drank the wine by himself, and he didn't even have the interest to turn his head to take a look.

After a while, another tall woman in a red coat walked out of the door, and the men in black on the rooftop immediately made way for her.

The woman in red came behind Lin Chu step by step, carefully looked at his back, and couldn't help but show a mocking smile on her beautiful face, and said:

"I really didn't expect that the 'nightmare' that the whole world is looking for is really just a seemingly ordinary college student?"

Lin Chu still didn't look back, lying on the railing casually and drinking wine, and said casually: "I was originally an ordinary student, that's all. ”

The woman in red smiled, "You have killed so many big people, stolen so much information, the entire underground world is wanted for you, and the sky-high reward of five billion US dollars, can this be considered an ordinary student?"

"Haven't you found it yet?" Lin Chu's expression was calm.

"It just means I'm smart. ”

The woman in red looked at his back and smiled: "The whole world thinks that you are doing the right thing for heaven, but after I was pulled into a dream by you, the information you got from me made me realize that your real target is Nile Marshall......

"I followed this clue all the way down, and naturally locked on you......

"Lin Chu, you want to avenge your father, right?"

Lin Chu looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky and said calmly: "You came to me just to show your intelligence? Don't you know that there is a saying that 'the villain dies from talking too much'?"

"Every one of us has been injected with drugs to keep us awake and excited, and they wear gas masks, even if you have hypnotic gas, it doesn't make sense, don't try to pull us into your dreams. ”

The woman in red smiled and said: "What's more, for you, I may not be a villain, I appreciate your sense of justice and mind, and I am also very curious about your dream ability, if you are willing to join us, I can turn a blind eye to the five billion dollar reward, after all, what I cherish most is friendship, I will not betray my friends." ”

Lin Chu turned his head slightly, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and sneered:

"I'm not interested in working for others, and I'm not interested in being a friend to a scum like you. ”

The woman in red first looked cold, and then smiled again: "It's okay if you don't want to be a friend, then you can satisfy my curiosity, it's always okay, right? You know, what I hate the most is torture, I really don't want to hear your screams." ”

Lin Chu was silent for a moment, looked down at the crowd on the street below, and said, "Ask." ”

"How did you get your special ability to pull people into dreams?" the woman in red's eyes lit up.

This is also the secret that all those who have heard of the name "Nightmare" want to know the most.

Lin Chu raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then said:

"Three years ago, when I was traveling in Jiutai Mountain, I happened to encounter a very strange fog, I was swallowed by a behemoth in the fog, and when I woke up, I found that I had acquired the ability to dream. ”

"Fog?" the woman in red muttered, "What kind of fog?"

"A black mist that causes vision to become blurred and inexplicable whispers in your ears. Lin Chu said casually.

"What is a behemoth?" asked the woman in red again.

"I don't know, I don't see it, and it's a strange shape that I can't describe. Lin Chu said lightly.

The woman in red frowned slightly, and asked again, "Then how did you kill people through dreams?"

"They just die of overwork, or they kill themselves. ”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Lin Chu's eyes, "People will always feel sleepy, such as Nile Marshall, even if he injects a large amount of hyperactive drugs, after the effect of the drugs weakens, he will still be pulled into a dream by me, I torture him in the most painful way, making him more tired in his dreams than when he is awake, and if he continues to be tortured like this, his spirit will weaken day by day, and he will naturally not be able to stand it." ”

The woman in red suddenly said, "As far as I know, you have never left this city, is your dream ability to ignore distance?"

"Thinking, there is no concept of distance, as long as you are familiar enough with each other, such as appearance and other characteristics, just like when searching, the more keywords, the more accurate. ”

Lin Chu said slowly, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you very much for your answer. The woman in red smiled and said, "Then please go back with us." ”

Lin Chu finally turned around and looked at her with a smile, "Since you investigated me, didn't you investigate my case?"

"Case?" the woman in red frowned.

Lin Chu tilted his head slightly, pressing his temples with his fingertips, "Since I got the dream ability, I have a tumor in my head, and it is getting bigger and bigger, even if you don't come, I won't live for a few days, do you really think your threat will be useful to me?"

"You're going to kill yourself?"

The woman in red's face changed, and suddenly shouted, "Break his leg!"

The three men in black behind her immediately took out their pistols, quickly aimed at Lin Chu's legs, and pulled the trigger!

"Bang bang bang!!"

And yet—

After the gunshot, the speed at which the bullet came out of the chamber was pitifully slow, and it slowly flew towards Lin Chu at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Except for Lin Chu.

Lin Chu calmly raised his hand, and the three bullets fell into his hand.

"It's impossible to ......" The woman in red looked at this scene in shock, then reacted and stared at Lin Chu deadly: "You have superpowers?"

"I said, I'm just an average student. ”

Lin Chu said, slowly letting go of the bullets in his hand, and letting them fall to the ground one by one, making a clanging sound.

The woman in red suddenly realized something, rushed to the edge of the rooftop, leaned on the guardrail and looked down, and found that there was no one in sight on the originally densely populated street below!

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, how can there be no one on the street?

Then there is only one possibility!

She suddenly came to her senses, stared at Lin Chu in disbelief, gritted her silver teeth, and asked word by word:

"Here it is...... Dreams?"

"Of course. Lin Chu looked at her mockingly, "I can pull people into a dream, don't you know?"

"Impossible...... I'm obviously still sober!" The woman in red couldn't believe this fact.

Lin Chu smiled sarcastically and said:

"Then I'm going to ask you, when did you get the illusion that 'as long as you stay awake, I can't pull you to sleep'?"

"You ......" The woman in red had an ugly face.

"It's a pity. ”

Lin Chu raised his hand and tapped his temples, and said with a smile:

"This tumor in my head has grown as my ability has grown, and although I am dying, my ability has changed recently......

"As long as I am within a certain range of my neighborhood, even if I am not familiar with people, I can pull into the dream realm, just like a field. ”

The woman in red stared at him, and suddenly said coldly:

"Shoot yourself!"

She had already investigated the information about nightmares, and as long as she died in the dream, she would be awake!

However, before she and her men could do anything, they noticed that a series of tight and strong ropes suddenly appeared out of thin air, winding around and around, including rubber bindings in their mouths, not only unable to move, but also unable to bite their tongues.

"In my dreams, unless I deliberately torture or kill you and make you break your consciousness, it will be difficult for you to wake up. ”

Lin Chu said, slowly walked in front of the woman in red, looked at her anxious eyes, and smiled:

"Did I say it? The villain died of talking too much, if you hadn't been injected with the potion and were too awake, I wouldn't have been able to quickly pull you into a dream, I could only slowly erode, otherwise how could I talk so much nonsense with you?"

The woman in red's face suddenly turned pale.

"I didn't expect to be able to take you scum with me before I left this world, what a windfall. ”

Lin Chu shook his head and smiled, and while reaching out and groping in her arms, he said casually:

"Although I can't leave dreams like you, the difference is that I can stay awake and in reality, my body can move. ”

As he spoke, he had retrieved a pitch-black pistol from her arms.

When the woman in red heard this, she was stunned at first, and then her beautiful eyes were full of fear.

Their bodies in reality are equivalent to being asleep, and this dream is completely consistent with reality, and their position in reality is the same as that of dreams, as long as Lin Chu shoots according to the location of the dream, he can shoot them in reality!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be full of fear, her whole body trembled, she wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't speak, she could only look at Lin Wu with tears, her eyes were full of pleading.

Lin Chu was expressionless, put the muzzle of the gun against her forehead, gently pulled the trigger with his fingertips, looked at her condescendingly, and said softly:

"When you go to hell, let's repent slowly. ”

"Bang!"

After a gunshot, she disappeared into her dreams.

Because in reality, she is dead.

Lin Chu concocted it according to the law, and after killing the other ten subordinates, he was the only one left in the huge dream.

In reality, I'm afraid it's already bleeding all over the ground.

"It's the first time to get rid of evil with my own hands, and it feels pretty good......"

Lin Chu showed a hint of a smile, casually threw the gun aside, turned around and walked to the edge of the rooftop, climbed over the guardrail, and sat on the railing.

Below is the night view of the city.

He quietly felt the night breeze blowing, raised his head and took a sip of wine, and in reality he did the same, feeling the feeling of the wine when it entered his throat.

The last half bottle of wine took a long time to drink.

Drunken and slightly drunk, Lin Chu overlooked this dream world where he was alone, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It's really lonely." ”

Then, he tossed the bottle behind him and jumped off the rooftop.

In the weightlessness of the extremely fast fall and the night wind whistling in his ears, he couldn't think much about it, and after a few tens of meters of falling and sprinting, he had already reached the end - the hard ground.

The dream world suddenly collapsed, and he was forced to return to reality, but before he could see the reality clearly, his consciousness fell into darkness.

......

I don't know how long it took.

Lin Chu's consciousness gradually woke up, although his body was still unable to move, he could feel that he was in flames, warm.

Tsk, am I being cremated?

Whew, it's good that I'm unconscious, otherwise it would be too miserable.

But I'm dead, how can I still be conscious?

Could it be because of the ability to dream?

As the minutes passed, he felt as if he had been burned to the point that only the ashes remained, and after the flames were extinguished, even the ashes were packed, as if they were in an urn?

Then, a pair of warm hands left with his urn in his arms, and whispered to himself into the urn.

Lin Chu ...... Why did you leave so early...... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have had any hope of revenge, and I haven't thanked you in person......"

Oh...... It's her, the eldest lady I met during the first investigation...... Lin Chu was stunned.

"Actually, I guessed that you were a nightmare a long time ago, and the few times I met you later, although you were well disguised, my intuition told me that you were a nightmare......"

Hehe, my acting skills were not up to standard at that time, just you, who are not very smart, can definitely let you be sold by me and help me count the money...... Lin Chu secretly complained.

"Lin Chu, your family has passed away, and I don't know how to thank you...... So I made you an urn out of pure gold, with your name engraved on it, which can be regarded as a little compensation for you. ”

Solid gold urn...... Can you local tyrants have a little imagination...... Lin Chu wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn't have eyes to roll over.

A few days later, the eldest lady suddenly said: "Lin Chu, I heard that there was a catastrophe on the side of Jiutai Mountain, and many people died, I'm afraid there is no way for you to be buried in time......"

Jiutai Mountain?Isn't that the place where I gained the ability to dream ?Lin Chu was taken aback.

After a few more days—

"What the hell is wrong with this world? Ever since that strange black fog appeared, disasters have been happening everywhere, and monsters have been everywhere...... Is the end of the world coming?"

"Lin Chu, I'm going to help you bury you today, I don't know how long I can live, if there is an afterlife, I'll thank you in person......"

On this day, Lin Chu felt that he was sealed in a coffin along with the urn.

The coffin was silent, and nothing could be perceived.

So boring.

I don't know when my consciousness will dissipate, so I might as well count the time.

One, two, three, four, five......

......

......

Before you know it, three months have passed......

And Lin Chu's consciousness still did not dissipate.

However, he didn't feel bored, perhaps because he was only conscious, he couldn't secrete emotion-related hormones, so he lost the feeling of 'loneliness'.

8035254......

When Lin Shu counted to 8035254 seconds, he suddenly felt a shock to the coffin, and his urn was uncontrollably rushing left and right inside the coffin, as if it was because the whole coffin was rolling, could it be that there was an earthquake outside?

Fortunately, the urn was made of pure gold and locked, otherwise his ashes would have spilled.

During the tumbling of the coffin, Lin Chu also faintly heard a loud roar that did not look like a human being coming into the coffin, and he didn't know what it was, could it be the so-called 'monster'?

Perhaps buried deep underground, he never heard anything from that day on.

I don't know if humanity is going to die, or if the outside world is really coming to an end......

He could only silently calculate the time that seemed to have no end......
