Heavy footsteps echoed in the gloomy corridor, and under the gaze of Zhang Luo and the others, two silver figures emerged from the darkness at the far end of the corridor.

It was two soldiers in silver light armor with chain mail on the inside of the armor, both holding sharp short swords and light shields with red thorn patterns, and their heads were obscured by metal helmets with manes. To put it simply, it's two cans that can walk.

"Earl, please come with us." One of the soldiers stepped forward and said in a deep voice in a Chinese language that Zhang Luo did not know but could fully understand.

Realizing that there would be no language barrier and inability to communicate in the dream, Zhang Luo stepped forward, stood in front of the "countess" who looked like a little girl, and pulled out his short sword full of mosaics.

"I'm sorry, she can't go with you right now." He replied in a language he had never learned.

“……”

Faced with this "humanoid creature" composed of extremely low-resolution blocks all over their bodies, the two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then immediately raised their swords and shields, ready to fight.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to when fighting in a dream?" Zhang Luo turned his head to look at the Bloody Mary behind him.

"Ah, that...... Don't get killed, if you do, it's a failed breakthrough. Before the silver-haired girl could finish her words, she exclaimed, "Be careful! ”

Zhang Luo had just turned around, only to see that the short sword in the hand of the soldier in front of him had already stabbed at him without any fancy and went straight to his throat!

"Ha, you're pretty aggressive."

Zhang Luo raised his right hand and blocked the blow with the short sword composed of blocks in his hand, but his right hand was shocked and numb, and the short sword in his hand almost fell off.

He immediately sensed that the strength of the enemy in front of him was staggering. Of course, it may also be because he can't enjoy the physical attribute bonus in his dream, but all in all, he doesn't have much advantage in facing this kind of opponent now.

"Bell!"

Zhang Luo, in the form of a "square man", swung the short sword in his hand forward, which was blocked by the soldier's shield, and made a reverberating knocking sound.

However, Zhang Luo, who has accumulated a lot of combat experience in the Halloween killing competition, will naturally not fall behind in this kind of "low-level battle"-

Suddenly raised his straight right leg and kicked the soldier's waist, taking advantage of the fact that the soldier in front of him staggered back, the "cube man" had already boldly rushed forward, and stabbed his sword into the gap between the opponent's helmet and the armor on his body.

With a click, blood gushed out and stained the stone wall next to it, and the soldier dropped his weapon and knelt down against his neck.

Another sword dealt with the other soldier behind him, Zhang Luo waved the rough long sword made of blocks in his hand very chicly, turned around and smiled at Bloody Mary: "How is it, do you think I'm too handsome?" ”

"You're so unsightly in this fight......" Bloody Mary shook her head.

"Anyway, this is your dream, can you weaken the enemy?" Zhang Luo said and shook his right hand, which was a little numb: "This kind of intensity is a little uncomfortable to play." ”

Even in Bloody Mary's "private dreams", there are no deaths, but the strength of the enemy is inevitably a little stronger. Just two ordinary creeps have such a level of strength, if there is an opponent such as the "Kingdom Knights" in the future, I am afraid that I will have to take the lunch box and start again.

In the short battle just now, Zhang Luo had tried to use his dream control ability to strengthen his physical fitness. However, the effect of "Hercules" that should have appeared did not appear, and the strength remained at the original level.

From this point of view, this private dream may be much more troublesome than imagined.

As expected, Bloody Mary quickly shook her head and whispered, "I can't do it." ”

"Why?" Zhang Luo asked.

"I don't have very good dream control, and this nightmare ...... It's the one I'm most afraid of, and with my mental power, I can't transform this dream at all. The silver-haired girl bowed her head in shame.

"I see." Zhang Luo nodded.

-- The ancients said that "there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night", and dreams can reflect people's thoughts to a certain extent.

In dreams, people may think of people and things that they thought they had forgotten, and there are also cases where scientists have a whimsical idea in a dream and finally arrive at the results of their research. In a sense, dreams can be regarded as a kind of "completion" of consciousness.

However, Zhang Luo knew that the nightmare he was experiencing was obviously not so simple.

Walking briskly through the gloomy corridor with Bloody Mary, up the stone spiral steps, and just entering the wide corridor on the first floor, an extremely cruel scene came into view:

The air was filled with the suffocating smell of blood, and dozens of maids and servants dressed in white were lying in pools of blood. One only had to look at the horrific wound to know that they had obviously been killed by sharp weapons. As for who exactly did it, it is already self-evident in this case:

"Damn Kingdom Warrior......" The silver-haired girl's body trembled slightly, and her voice became a little trembling.

Even though hundreds of years have passed, even though she knows that she is in a nightmare, facing the corpses of her servants, she still can't let go.

"It's nothing short of a massacre." Zhang Luo frowned and commented on the scene in front of him.

- Even if Bloody Mary is really a terrible countess who has killed countless people, it is no better to kill everyone in her castle before capturing her, than bathing in the blood of a young girl.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Luo already roughly understood the "attributes" of this nightmare:

As the embodiment of the last scene that Bloody Mary saw before her death, the nightmare that she feared the most was completely beyond her control.

Because of this, she was unable to control the dream, and ......

"If you find out what's going on here, you might be able to learn the truth about the legend of Bloody Mary."

Realizing this, Zhang Luo suddenly became interested again.

Over the years, people have had different opinions about the origin of the legend of "Bloody Mary". There are at least five of the claims he has studied in depth, and there are countless other garbled explanations.

What happened to make the seemingly harmless "girl" around him become a well-known murderous ghost?

Zhang Luo will not easily believe the legend, nor will he listen to the words of Bloody Mary herself. But if you explore this dream, which reflects the deepest fears of Bloody Mary, you may be able to discover the true face of this legend!

So now......

"According to the statutes of the Strange Tales Research Society, what I'm doing now can be regarded as an 'investigation mission', right?"

As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on Zhang Luo's square face, which was completely made of squares.
