Chapter 14: The Dream Tapir
On an empty street.
Su Ziyu always felt unusually familiar as he walked, as if he had been here before.
There were some dim lights on both sides of the road, and Su Ziyu didn't know where he was going, let alone what he should do, so he walked aimlessly. Suddenly, wisps of ghost fire appeared in his sight, and then a collapsed city gate appeared in front of him, and there were many demons and monsters hovering around, huge heads were whizzing through the streets, and in the distance was a woman in a blood-red dress.
Da-da-da-da.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw people dressed in black and white, who were approaching Su Ziyu little by little with soul hook locks.
"The black and white ghost has come to detain my soul?" Su Ziyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, stopped and stood in place.
It's weird.
He didn't feel scared at all, Su Ziyu looked down at himself, and suddenly grabbed a flying head man whistling by him, then grabbed its hair and glanced at it, muttering, "Why am I back in Ghost Kyoto again?" β
"That's not right!"
"I'm obviously in the Three Rivers Country now! Am I dreaming? β
In a flash!
Su Ziyu's whole person came to his senses, his pupils narrowed slightly, he kicked the flying head in his hand, and didn't look at the approaching black and white ghost envoy, pressed his hand on the hilt of the falling star, and looked around intently.
I fell into a strange dream again.
Since becoming a space-time watcher, Su Ziyu has rarely dreamed.
This time he reacted quickly, because once in the world of the Dream Forest, he had been entered into a dream once, and at that time he couldn't kill the super deviant, and finally came back to his senses that he was in a dream. After that experience, Su Ziyu also secretly guarded against this situation, so this time he reacted quite quickly, ignoring the black and white ghost envoy who was getting closer and closer, and jumped up directly to the roof.
- "Vision! β
With the activation of the power of spiritual vision, everything in Su Ziyu's eyes was gradually blurred, and the whole world disappeared little by little in the faint mist, and finally he saw a flashing phantom at the location of the collapsed city gate.
"Where to run?!" Su Ziyu chased after him.
But this is just a dream after all, and with the collapse of the dream, the figure quickly disappeared, and then Su Ziyu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.
"What the hell?" Su Ziyu suddenly sat up and muttered.
He finally saw a monster with a trunk, a body that looked a bit like a horse, and a lot of hair on its face, which he couldn't see clearly at a glance, only the long nose was very striking.
This is an inn in the country of Trois-Rivières.
After Su Ziyu got rid of the mountain boy on Ishinomaki Mountain, he was ready to rest for a night in Mikawa Province before traveling.
It should be early in the morning.
When a person was most sleepy, Su Ziyu could hear the faint barking of dogs outside, he quickly stood up, picked up his weapon and jumped out of the window directly.
Nothing was found outside, and there was not even a ghost in sight.
"What kind of youkai is that?" Su Ziyu frowned and returned to the hotel.
He took out the hundred things that Qingxing Lantern gave him, and flipped through them page by page, and after spending a little time, Su Ziyu found a little useful information.
"Dream Tapir?" Su Ziyu looked at the hand-painted monster painting on it and muttered.
- "Dream Eating Tapir, it is said that it is a kind of monster that came to Fuso during the Tang Dynasty, feeding on people's dreams, and likes to eat nightmares the most, a harmless monster that is said to take away people's bad luck, and is regarded as an auspicious fortune in the Kansai region, and some people carve it into a tapir pillow, thinking that it can take away nightmares. β
There are very few records of the dream-eating tapir on Hundred Things, and there are no stories related to it, but only a few have been recorded as an anecdote.
But the elephant-like long-nosed soja can't be mistaken, because it's so easy to tell.
"Is it a youkai from Middle-earth again?" Su Ziyu muttered.
It should have been the dream tapir that had just entered his dream, and it probably didn't expect Su Ziyu to react so quickly that he was dreaming, and as soon as he woke up, he ran away.
"No way!"
"What's the matter of being put into a dream all the time! You have to be on guard! Su Ziyu frowned and opened the data page.
- "Psychic Barrier: Construct an energy barrier that protects the mind with psionic energy, which can resist the negative effects of sleep, shock, intimidation, charm, mind reading, etc. Consumes 2 Source Power. β
After killing that mountain boy, Su Ziyu had accumulated 18 source power points in his hands.
Nothing to hesitate about.
He directly lit up the spiritual barrier with two source power points, and he didn't want this kind of thing to happen anymore when people always invaded the dream realm.
- "Psionic Protection Field: Use psionic energy to build an energy protection field that protects oneself from physical damage, elemental damage, sonic damage, and more. Consumes 2 Source Power. β
Since he was ready to strengthen his own ability, Su Ziyu simply lit up with the psionic protective force field.
This is an all-round defensive ability, the invisible spiritual ability field can resist most of the damage, when Su Ziyu shot at the Black Mud Jack in the Dream Forest at close range, it was this energy force field that blocked all the bullets.
- "Strengthen the sixth sense!" β
Su Ziyu thought about it, and finally decided to strengthen the sixth sense that he had been thinking about for a long time.
This is a very powerful passive ability that can directly convert perception into intuition and respond to all kinds of dangers in all aspects.
The 12-point source power is quickly consumed.
It took Su Ziyu a full 8 source power points to light up a sixth sense, but as he lit up the ability of the sixth sense, on the spiritual energy enhancement branch route, a glimmer of light lit up at the position that was originally connected to the spiritual communication, and then a new ability emerged.
- "Mind Reading: You can use psionic energy to read the other person's mind and know what the other person is thinking, which may not be effective against some of the extremely strong mental will of the existence. Consumes 10 Source Power. β
Mind reading?
This ability must be strengthened!
But it's a pity that the source power value of Suziyu is not enough now, and he still has to master the pre-ability 'Mind Communication' first.
"If this continues to be strengthened, will I be like the bald professor?" Su Ziyu couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair, fortunately, his hair was still there, and the strengthening spiritual energy should not be bald.
- "Strengthen telekinesis mastery!" β
The current source power value is not enough to light up the mind reading technique, and Su Ziyu simply lights up the telekinesis mastery as well, which can reduce the spiritual energy consumed when he uses telekinesis to fly.
As long as the hair is fine, everything else is easy to say.
