The slight sound of footsteps was very abrupt in the silent hallway.

The stairs are not long, only two floors, about twenty steps, Du Mu quickly walked and came to the front yard full of plants.

He looked back and found that the building he was in was the same double-storey duplex apartment as the opposite.

At the end of the front yard was an off-white iron gate, and Du Mu gently pushed the door open and came to the wide and empty street.

As far as the eye can see, everything around you is gray, even the garbage scattered on the floor, just like in an apartment.

"Even outside...... Is this really a dream?"

Feeling the hard texture of the ground under his feet and breathing in the cold air, Du Mu became more and more puzzled in his heart.

Everything around me was too real to be like a dream.

A round of crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, shrouded in slightly gray moonlight, there seems to be a faint layer of fog on the empty street, Du Mu can only see the situation more than ten meters away, and then in the distance, it is a gray and blurry fog.

It feels like stepping into a horror movie.

Du Mu glanced at his empty hands, and a trace of unease floated in his heart.

If only you had a weapon on hand. Unfortunately, the swords in the bedroom are in an unusable gray state.

Shaking his head and forcibly dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, Du Mu was very careful and cautiously walked forward.

As he walked forward, the gray mist in front of him slowly dispersed like a spirit, which was strange.

Du Mu's field of vision has always remained unchanged at about 145 meters.

Click!

A faint sound suddenly came from the depths of the fog ahead.

Du Mu followed the sound, and there was only a hazy gray mist in his eyes, and there was no vision, but the sound gradually increased, and after a while, he finally realized that it was the sound of footsteps.

Something is approaching!

The moment he realized this, Du Mu's heart tightened, and before he could take action, the fog in front of him suddenly broke through, and a black shadow flashed out of it, jumping to Du Mu in an instant, and the weapon in his hand slashed down at him.

"Damn!!"

At the moment of lightning, Du Mu didn't think much about it, and hurriedly rolled around a donkey to avoid the black shadow's attack, and retreated seven or eight steps in a row, opening up enough distance from the black shadow, and then looked at the other party angrily.

The gray moonlight dispelled the fog and revealed the true face of the black shadow.

It was a colourful 'man' in a black suit with trousers and a plain white shirt!

The reason why it is said to be 'human' is because its appearance is almost the same as that of a normal person, except that its face is smooth, there are no facial features, and it can't even see a hole, as if the face is flattened and pasted with a layer of skin, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts when they see it.

Moreover, in its right hand, it also held a sharp long sword, the blade of which seemed to be matte, and there was no light reflection in the black.

Grunt!

Du Mu swallowed his saliva, his eyes stared at the humanoid monster that suddenly appeared without blinking, and as his gaze stayed, a line of translucent gray text slowly appeared above the head of the humanoid monster out of thin air.

'Nightmare: The Faceless'

"Nightmare?"

Seeing the words floating on the head of the humanoid monster, Du Mu was surprised at the same time, and at the same time, there was a trace of joy in his heart.

After searching for so long, I finally found a clue related to the nightmare energy.

Du Mu stared intently at the monster called the 'Faceless One', his mind racing, thinking about how to deal with the strange situation in front of him.

Do you try to talk to the humanoid monster, or do you leave and wait for an opportunity to observe?

It's a pity that the monster in front of him didn't give him time to think, and after the attack failed, he immediately raised his black sword and pounced fiercely.

In an instant, a cold and palpitating momentum enveloped Du Mu's body, although he had not experienced it, he subconsciously realized that it was something called murderous aura.

Laugh at!

The sharp black sword cut through the air, slashing towards Du Mu with a burst of murderous aura, and the latter dodged in embarrassment, and before he could take a breath, the next blow came one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the silence of the night was torn apart by the sharp and short sound of a sword.

As soon as the battle began, Du Mu undoubtedly fell into a disadvantage.

The monster named 'Faceless' was strong, agile and fast, and his physical fitness was not much worse than Du Mu's, plus he still had weapons at hand, and he immediately suppressed Du Mu with his bare hands.

In the process of fighting and dodging, Du Mu saw with his own eyes that the faceless man holding the black sword left a sword mark three or four centimeters deep on the hard wall, the power was terrifying, he was not interested in touching the opponent's black sword with his body, so he could only continue to dodge in embarrassment.

"Damn, it can't go on like this!"

As time passed, Du Mu's physical strength intensified, and his breathing gradually became heavy, while the Faceless One, like a tireless robot, did not slash at all.

Boom!

A moment later, Du Mu seized the opportunity and kicked the Faceless One in the abdomen, and the latter immediately staggered back a few steps, and then continued to pounce on him as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this scene, Du Mu scolded secretly, turned around and ran.

The Faceless Faceless showed a low level of swordsmanship, only at an entry-level level, and if he was given a suitable long sword, he was confident that he would pay some price to deal with his opponent, but unfortunately this wish seemed difficult to achieve now.

I couldn't even find a stick around!

Click!

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and Du Mu didn't need to look back to know that it was the Faceless One who had caught up.

The battle just now consumed a lot of his physical strength, and if he continued to run, he would inevitably be caught up in the end, but fortunately, the place where he was attacked was not far from the apartment building, and he could arrive in less than half a minute.

Du Mu had a hunch that as long as he entered the apartment, the faceless person behind him would probably give up the chase.

And even if his intuition was wrong, it would be beneficial for him to move the arena to the apartment, and the narrow space would greatly limit the use of the Faceless's swordsmanship, reducing its combat effectiveness in disguise.

More than ten seconds later, Du Mu saw a trace of the apartment, he hurriedly quickened his pace, his feet were as fast as the wind, and he slammed sideways into the iron gate without stopping, slammed into the front yard with a bang, and narrowly avoided the black sword light that followed behind him.

Whew!

Tumbling and jumping out of four or five meters, Du Mu stabilized his body, and he didn't care about resting, he immediately stood up and looked out as if he was facing a great enemy.

The Faceless One stood motionless outside the iron gate with a black sword in hand, its smooth and featureless face facing him tightly.

The dead silence returned to the streets, and half a minute later, the Faceless One turned and left, walking slowly into the depths of the gray mist, slowly vanishing.

Call!

Seeing this, Du Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and a sense of happiness for the rest of his life surged in his heart.

Different from the battle in reality, in the fight with the Faceless One just now, the state of passing by death at that moment brought him a great sense of oppression, and now he still feels a little weak in retrospect.

"Is this the real battle...... I almost hung up!"

I don't know what the consequences will be if I die in a dream?

Sitting on the ground for a long time, Du Mu finally relieved himself, and as soon as he stood up, he felt a trance in front of him.
