After returning from the police station, Qi Lu found that Lao Wu was already sitting in the living room waiting for him

"You're back, you don't sleep so late"

Lao Wu said: "The test results are out"

Qi Lu laughed evilly, "Needless to say, I already know the result, and Pei Liping is also dead."

"What" Lao Wu exclaimed, then glared at Qi Lu and said, "You know that the result made me run the wrong way."

Qi Lu lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, but Ding Xiaolan came over and told Lao Wu in detail what they had happened today

"This kid is dead, but there is no small trouble" Lao Wu said lightly: "Then we can also do our best to track down Ye Xuanzhi's case"

Qi Lu spat out a cigarette and said, "I have a bold assumption about the mystery of Ye Xuanzhi's bizarre death."

"What assumptions" Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan both leaned over and asked him

"We were wrong at the beginning, and this has nothing to do with mirages"

"It's impossible," Lao Wu said, "Aren't those strange encounters between you and Xiao Ding the reality of the fantasy world where such a thing happens?"

"It's really not a fantasy, it's because we always treated it as an illusion before, so we were led by the nose by the murderer and couldn't get in touch with the truth."

Ding Xiaolan asked: "If it's not an illusion, what will it be?"

"It's a nightmare," Qi Lu replied categorically

"Nightmare" Ding Xiaolan was stunned, she thought about it carefully, and felt that Qi Lu's words were not unreasonable, but she still couldn't believe it all

Qi Lu asked them: "Do you remember the monster in the funeral parlor that ate the internal organs of the dead?"

As soon as she heard Qi Lu mention the name of this monster, Ding Xiaolan was so angry that she gritted her teeth, she still can't forget what he possessed in her body

Qi Lu continued: "The young monster that appeared in our nightmare is actually his accomplice."

"How do you know?"

"What Sha Hua told me, he won't lie to me" Qi Lu said: "This is only an additional piece of information for me, the key is that Sha Hua told me that he met me in a dream, and it was this sentence that made me understand what all this is all about"

Lao Wu said with a worried face: "If the identity of the murderer is a new mystery as you said, wouldn't we all work in vain before?"

"It's not as serious as you said," Qi Lu said with a smile: "I have roughly determined the identity of the monster, and now I will have on-site evidence."

"Who is he?" Ding Xiaolan and Lao Wu asked at the same time

Qi Lu took another puff of his cigarette and sneered and said, "Dream Eater Tapir is a monster that lives by devouring human dreams."

Ding Xiaolan shook her head and said: "If what you say is true, but we don't feel that the world is disappearing in the dream, and it appears in the form of a dragon," although Ding Xiaolan didn't know what the dream-eating tapir looked like in Qi Lukou, she knew that this monster would never look like a dragon

"In the dream world, the mana of the dream tapir is infinite, and it wants to hide its identity and incarnate into other monsters, which is a good choice."

Qi Lu paused for a moment and said: "Why don't you feel that the dream world is disappearing, it is because our sudden intrusion interferes with its behavior of devouring dreams, and that mysterious young man uses Pei Liping's dream as a clue and also mixes it in, so how can it still have the heart to eat with peace of mind."

After speaking, Qi Lu turned on the laptop computer, clicked on the book of mountains and seas again, and clicked on the page about the dream tapir and pointed it out to Ding Xiaolan

Ding Xiaolan raised his eyes and saw that there was a monster on the screen, and there was a text description of its appearance underneath: There is a demon in the mountain, the body is like a bear, the trunk is like a rhinoceros, the eyes are oxtails, and the legs of the tiger are also dreams

A smile appeared at the corner of Lao Wu's mouth, and he said lightly: "It turns out that this is the case when I appeared in the company and threatened you, I am this guy, I said how the spell can't work on it at all, it turns out that it is in the dream realm, it is its kingdom."

"Then do you admit the fact that we went out to work hard, but you were drunk in the company," Qi Lu's eyes became serious

"Hehe," Lao Wu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly

Ding Xiaolan also remembered that Lao Wu said in the phone call with her that the monster had a long elephant's trunk, so it was really the same as the dream-eating tapir in the computer

"Now we can string these scattered clues together with a rope," Qi Lu said loudly: "This community is a treasure land of feng shui with the function of suppressing evil spirits, except for people, only gods or demons with profound magic power can enter and go freely, so the possibility that Ye Xuanzhi was killed by ghosts is naturally ruled out."

Seeing that Lao Wu didn't refute his words, Qi Lu continued: "We have been seriously deviating from the right direction of finding the truth of the matter, first in the haunted house, I was entangled by female ghosts for half a day, and then I wasted too much time on Pei Liping, who came out halfway, and it seemed that I had done a lot of things, but I only missed one thing, that is, no matter what kind of evil place, it can't stop the dream-eating tapir from ingesting human dreams, because it doesn't need to go through reality to achieve its own goals at all."

Qi Lu said again: "Originally, this dream-eating tapir had no outside intrusion, it could do what it wanted, but because the arrival of the young monster disrupted its plans, it wanted to solve him through the dream, although the young monster was powerful, but in the dream, it was also subject to the ability of the dream-eating tapir, seeing that he was going to be at a disadvantage, I didn't expect Ye Xuanzhi's email to bring me here."

"So we met it in a dream by mistake, and then a series of accidents happened," Ding Xiaolan asked her own question after saying these words: "But why does this dream-eating tapir help us?"

"It's very simple," this time it was Lao Wu who answered her question: "It wants to use our hand to drive away the young man, or maybe it wants us to kill this guy"

Qi Lu continued: "Your opinion is the same as mine, after all, if that young man dies in the hands of the Dream Eater Tapir, it will have a bad reputation in the demon world, and of course it wants us to carry this black cauldron."

Ding Xiaolan then raised a new question: "Even if what you said is right, edible dream tapirs will only cause dream distress to people, but Daoist Ye and those who died inexplicably all died in reality, they didn't die in dreams."

"You don't know about this," Qi Lu said: "If the dream-eating tapir is kind, it is indeed just a dream that devours people, and after replenishing its own energy, it will quietly leave, and people will not realize its existence at all, but the problem is that we have encountered a rather evil monster."

"Evil Dream Eater Tapir, does it endanger people's health?"

"What you said is still the lightest consequence," Qi Lu said with regret: "The evil dream-eating tapir will take the opportunity to absorb the true qi contained in the human seven spirits while devouring the dream, and sometimes even the soul will be eaten together."

Ding Xiaolan didn't dare to listen any further, if she didn't even have a spirit, then although people would not die all at once, after waking up from the dream, they would naturally feel that the six gods had no master, and it was inevitable that they would hallucinate

No wonder Ye Xuanzhi would die in its hands, no matter how high Ye Daochang's mana was, it couldn't withstand the unrealistic dream-eating tapir, and the young man who was hit by a car when they came here on the first day turned out to be tortured by the dream-eating tapir to the point that he lost his soul and lost his life

Ding Xiaolan further thought that although it was Pei Liping who killed Su Ling, didn't he also use the power of the Dream Eater Tapir unconsciously

Ding Xiaolan lowered her head in despair, and then she realized how lucky she was to be able to get out of her dream, and she found out for the first time that even dreaming was a terrible thing

After being silent for a long time, Ding Xiaolan raised her head, grabbed Qi Lu's hand and said, "We must eliminate it, and we can't let it harm more people."

Qi Lu nodded and said, "If you don't get rid of this demon, how can you avenge Ye Xuanye?"

"Or we'll get rid of it tonight"

"No," Qi Lu's answer disappointed Ding Xiaolan, "It's almost invincible in the dream, let's not talk about killing it, it's not easy to even save its life, take 10,000 steps back and say that even if we defeat it in the dream, it can switch to another person's dream at any time, and it is difficult for us to track it again."

"But you can't let it go," Ding Xiaolan's tone was close to pleading

Lao Wu said categorically: "Who said we don't care, but we also have to think of a perfect plan."

Qi Lu also echoed Lao Wu: "The only way is to pull it into reality when you meet it in a dream, so that its mana will drop by 80, and an ordinary demon hunter can kill it."

"But," Qi Lu originally wanted to talk about his plan, but inadvertently saw that the wall clock on the wall was pointing to three o'clock in the morning, so he turned his mouth and said: "It's too late, let's go to bed, tomorrow I will work out a safe plan with Lao Wu, I hope I can hit it with one blow and don't let it run, otherwise things will be in trouble."

Ding Xiaolan became nervous and hesitated, "What if this monster sneaks into our dreams tonight and harms us?"

"Hehe, I knew that you were afraid of this, so I wouldn't tell you the truth," Qi Lu smiled and comforted her: "If it really has such courage, then we can destroy it tonight without using our brains to lure it to my sweet dream."

Seeing that Qi Lu and Lao Wu both had confident expressions, Ding Xiaolan had no choice but to simply freshen up and go back to the room to rest

On the bed, Ding Xiaolan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, for fear that the dream-eating tapir would enter her dream

In the middle of the night, Ding Xiaolan, who was suffering from insomnia, suddenly heard a "shhh".

Is it coming, Ding Xiaolan's body shrunk into a ball in shock

The closed curtain suddenly blew open automatically without wind, and through the light of the stars, Ding Xiaolan saw a person standing out of thin air outside the window, and his evil face revealed an innate arrogance, he was the mysterious young man Ding Xiaolan met in his dream
