Chapter 184: Hide-and-seek for 350,000 people

When he was watching Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu also noticed his gaze, and the air between the two was suddenly filled with a smell of gunpowder.

"You'd better be sober."

Realizing what the problem was, Xia Ren warned.

"It was a dream, and I didn't do that in reality."

The anger in his heart could not be easily quelled, so the tone of his voice was somewhat threatening.

Liu Xiuxiu turned her head away and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Then he patted himself and stood up from the floor, not knowing if he really figured it out.

Seeing him like this, Xia Ren didn't bother too much with him, and turned his head to check Qin Yun's situation.

To Xia Ren's surprise, when he walked towards Qin Yun, the other party actually looked frightened and took half a step back.

His face instantly turned angry, but then he thought of something, took a deep breath, and didn't go any further.

When Qin Yun realized how inappropriate her behavior was just now, it was already too late, she was a little panicked, and hurriedly remedied: "I'm sorry Xia Ren, I didn't mean to, I just ...... It's just not used to it yet. ”

"It's okay, don't mind too much."

Xia Ren smiled and said, "I don't know what exactly happened to you in your dreams, but it seems to be related to me......"

The sense of separation caused by the sudden return to reality is also deeply affecting Xia Ren, and this sequelae is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time, so it is understandable that the two of them would have such a reaction.

After a pause, Xia Ren continued: "But although I am not a good person, I am by no means a scumbag who is domestic violence against women. ”

Lily regained the shape of a ball, she had been beside her, and she had noticed the delicate atmosphere between the three of them, but she had spent a lot of energy trying to maintain their vital signs just now, and now she didn't even want to move.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Ren stepped forward to pick her up, put her on the sofa, and gently stroked her twice.

"I'm still ......"

He said to Lily, but it looked like a reminder to himself.

Not reassured, he turned his head to look at the wall, and there was no clock.

"I'm going upstairs to take a look, you all calm down here first, and it's better to forget everything that happened in the dream."

Xia Ren stood up and said to Qin Yun and Liu Xiuxiu.

The two nodded, and Xia Ren nodded to them as well, then opened the door, looked at the dusty stairs, and walked up.

In the process, his face became more and more ugly, until he finally stood in front of Huang Qiuyuan's door, he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

The door was locked, but a single lock didn't stop it, so he broke the doorknob and pushed it open.

What catches your eye is a clean living room, a sofa, a coffee table, an old TV, and other than that, there is no extra furniture, not even a pair of slippers at the door.

Xia Ren walked through the door, his breathing getting heavier.

The layout of this house is similar to the opposite door, when he and Liu Xiuxiu went in, the little feet he saw under the curtain are still fresh in his memory, but at that time he still couldn't understand why he couldn't detect the smell of pollution, now it seems that it is all Huang Qiuyuan's ghost, what the two of them experienced in the house is just a nightmare, and there is no existence of the little boy.

Turning his head, on the back of the door, seven people were roughly drawn with a black brush, but the heads were all crossed out by messy lines.

He just glanced at it, didn't pay too much attention to the door, and went straight to the bedroom.

There was only a big bed inside, not even a quilt, and when I walked in, I found that there was a note left at the head of the bed.

Xia Ren carefully looked around and made sure that there was nothing else suspicious before picking up the note. Four words were neatly written on it with a black pen:

"Good luck."

"Whoa!"

Xia Ren's eyes were red, and he tore the note in anger!

……

……

"What is he doing?"

After a few minutes of rest, Liu Xiuxiu had almost dispelled the impact of the dream and asked.

"I don't know."

Qin Yun looked at the ceiling, holding a listless Lily in her arms, and couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

There was a "rumbling" sound from upstairs, as if a construction team was demolishing and tearing down the walls, and the sound of smashing the wall was endless, mixed with a few suppressed roars. It was Natsuhito's voice.

He must have experienced something in his dreams and needed to vent.

Qin Yun recalled that when he entered his dream, he was covered in blood and had an eager look, and he was very worried about his state.

"I don't know how much effort he put into saving me, but I ......"

She remembered the half step back she had just taken, and felt Xia Ren's smile afterwards, like a heavy stone blocking her heart, so uncomfortable.

"What did you encounter in your dreams?"

She asked Liu Xiuxiu.

"Some...... Bad thing. ”

Liu Xiuxiu frowned, unwilling to recall.

This incident made him redefine the word nightmare, and it turned out that the real nightmare was so...... It's suffocating.

It's just that after calming down, he unconsciously recalled the scene when Xia Ren rushed into the dream.

That scene is too familiar, could it be a coincidence?

And why do I have to think about it, I can't remember who the man who saved me two years ago was.

In a trance, the blood-soaked metal corridor and the burning living room were indistinguishable, and the two tall figures gradually coincided together.

Eventually, he came along

When he looked up, it was Xia Ren's face.

The moment he saw this face, his mind was in a trance, and his body seemed to lose gravity and float in a void.

No, it's not vanity, it's ...... The sound of the waves surging.

As if you were at the bottom of the sea, the vast seabed was torn apart, countless columns of smoke tumbled upward, crimson magma slowly flowed in the huge cracks, and clumps of slime wriggled in the seawater, changing into various strange shapes, pushing the sand on the seabed to bury the cracks.

Above them, terrifying creatures with five-pointed star-shaped heads stretched out their tentacles, as if giving some sort of complex command......

"Xiuxiu?"

With her heart pounding, Liu Xiuxiu came back to her senses and saw Qin Yun looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

He asked in a panic as he put his hands on his chest.

Qin Yunhu looked at him suspiciously and said, "You seem to have wandered just now,"

"No, it's okay, it's just ......"

Liu Xiuxiu lowered her head, holding her slightly swollen head with her hands, wondering if the picture she had just seen was an illusion or something.

"That's it?"

Qin Yun felt that he was hiding himself.

"You're all back in shape, right?"

Xia Ren pushed open the door and said.

His clothes were a little messy, and he glanced around the two of them, including Lily who was held in Qin Yun's arms, it seemed that only Lili, who was not involved in the dream, was most affected by this incident.

As for why Huang Qiuyuan didn't do anything to her, Xia Ren guessed that it was probably because the other party couldn't understand Xiugus's thinking.

Qin Yun's head turned relatively quickly, and asked, "Does it have anything to do with Huang Qiuyuan?" ”

As soon as she said this, Liu Xiuxiu's attention immediately shifted to this aspect, and she had no time to worry about her own situation.

A fierce smile appeared at the corner of Xia Ren's mouth, and he said hatefully: "It's not just related. ”

He didn't seem to want a few people to waste too much time on this matter, and then changed the topic: "Since it's all right, it's the best, let's get back to the topic, the clue of the ghoul hasn't been found yet, and the next step is to find the unemployed vagrant Chen Qiwei first, or Jupiter City Councilor Zhao Tianliang." ”

"To get to the point, it's obvious that Huang Qiuyuan is more important now!" Liu Xiuxiu was unwilling to suffer a big loss in vain, and asked.

Xia Ren said indifferently: "He has already left, if you can find him, I will also be happy to run over and beat him." ”

“……”

Seeing that Xia Ren didn't plan to say more, Liu Xiuxiu could only sulk by herself.

Qin Yun's focus has always been on Xia Ren, seeing that he is disheveled, thinking of the movement upstairs he heard just now, it is not difficult to guess what he did on it.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked with concern, "What did you see in your dream?" ”

"I was beaten up."

Xia Ren paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Since Xiu'er can't make up her mind, let's go to the dear councillor first." ”

Qin Yun looked at his face and always felt that his smile was extremely reluctant.

……

……

"Since you want to save them so much, then I'll give you a chance."

Huang Qiuyuan raised his hand and snapped his fingers, the destroyed buildings around him were restored to their original state, and the figures of the ancient man and Xiugoth disappeared.

"This is a new dream, fifty kilometers in diameter, covering one-third of the urban area of Jupiter City, and about 350,000 people live, let's play hide and seek."

"Of these 350,000 people, there is one person with a 'key', and you only have half an hour to find it."

Huang Qiuyuan then remembered something and added: "By the way, it is unfortunate that your sister, as well as your friends, and the one in your current family are also among the 350,000 people. ”

"Good luck, then."
