Chapter 43: Nightmare

As soon as Wanli entered the old town, he felt that the situation was very strange.

In broad daylight, there is no movement in the whole town, there is not a single pedestrian on the street, there is no smoke, chickens and dogs do not crow, birds and beasts do not approach, it is like a dead city.

When he was transformed into a big stone by Master Long, he had heard Hong Hao mention what nightmare magic had, and along the way from the new town to the old town, he had been thinking about what the nightmare magic would look like, and only now did he know that the nightmare technique was to make the whole city fall asleep.

Da Da Da -

The sound of hurried footsteps was his, but he was really not used to such a quiet environment, which made him feel a little flustered, and he always thought that someone was following him. After all, people are social animals, especially those who are used to living in big cities, and now walking alone on empty streets, the feeling of uneasiness and fear almost spontaneously arises.

Wanli endured the uncomfortable feeling of emptiness in his heart, and walked along the main street of the town step by step, only to see that the doors and windows of every house were closed, and none of the shops were open, and sure enough, everyone was asleep. If it weren't for the midday sun shining above his head, he would have almost thought it was just his dream.

He stood in the street and thought about it for a while, but decided to go back to the hotel where he was staying, because under normal circumstances, when the doors were closed in other places, the police station, the hospital and the hotel would not be closed. The shop where he stayed was the largest hotel in Hongqing Town, and although it was a bit far from the town hospital, it was opposite the police station, so he could go inside the two houses to see what was going on.

First the police station.

The doors of all the houses in the town were closed, except for the gate of the police station, which was blown wide open, and when the wind blew, the gate slammed against the wall, making a slight collision sound, which was particularly piercing in the dead silence, and every sound seemed to knock on people's hearts.

However, although the door of the police station was open, there was no sign of people at the door, and from a distance, it seemed that Wanli was not a house, but like a trap waiting there, full of malicious temptation.

He gritted his teeth and walked in guardedly. When he entered, he found that there was no half of the entire police station, and he was accompanied only by the sound of footsteps coming from the empty room.

Knock-knock-knock-knock

What's going on? The police were attacked, or did Sima Nan use some kind of conspiracy to transfer the police on duty with his wealth? Or is the town not sleeping, but no one at all?

Thinking of this, he immediately quietly ran to the inn across the street.

There are no barriers in the middle of the street, so there is no place to hide when you walk through it. He didn't understand why he was hiding or what he was trying to hide, but he felt that the dead silence made him extremely nervous, and he felt like a thorn in his back, as if someone was spying on him.

He tensed all over, first fastening the fishing rod box on his back, clutching the baseball bat as a weapon, and then slowly rubbing to the door of the inn and peeking inside.

There is usually a doorman by the door, but of course there is no one at the moment, and there is no one in the hall.

Wanli settled down, and then pushed the door in.

Squeak-

The door closed behind him, and although it was usually like this, it was particularly terrifying at this time. Wanli tried to ignore the uneasiness in his heart and walked to the front desk.

In the front desk, there were the first people Wanli had seen since he entered the old town, two to be exact. This scene made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart, a little happy, and a little nervous. The two waiters, a man and a woman, sat in chairs, their heads bowed, as if they were asleep. But since he couldn't hear their breathing, he couldn't be sure.

He walked around to the front desk, and because he didn't know what the nightmare was, he didn't dare to touch the two people, but leaned down to listen carefully. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the two men breathe thinly.

In this way, there should not be no one in the town, and the townspeople have not been slaughtered, but they are really asleep, and when Sima Nan is lifted or Ruan Zhan kills Sima Nan, this nightmare will be automatically lifted! The same must have been true for everyone else.

With this awareness, Wanli retrieved the spare keys to the entire inn room from the drawer under the table. In the process of finding the key, no matter what kind of noise was made, the sound of turning the drawer, the rattle of the key, and the sound of him inadvertently kicking down a chair, none of them woke up the two waiters, which made Wanli feel that if they were not breathing, they would be no different from dead.

Death is the most primitive sleep!

He took the spare key and searched room by room. Since the floor of the inn was covered with a thick carpet, there was no longer a shrill footsteps following him, but he found it more unsettling, and the thump was still there, but he couldn't tell whether it was the sound of a heartbeat or a hint of thought.

In the open door, all kinds of people were asleep, and they slept exceptionally quietly, let alone turn over, not even snoring, all breathing carefully, and their eyelids did not move slightly.

It's so unusual! What dreams do they have? Same dream or different dreams? What did you dream about? You must know that when people are asleep, the brain is not completely dormant, everyone will dream, and the eyes will keep rolling in the dream, why are people who have been subjected to nightmare magic like wax figures, except for breathing, there is no sign of life? Will they really wake up?

With doubts, Wan Li carefully observed a few more people and found that they were indeed not dead, but they were indeed the same as dead. This is true for all the people in the room, including Boss Sun.

What is he going to do? How can I cooperate with Ruan Zhan? He had already tried it just now, and the communication here had also lost contact with the outside world, and if he wanted to convey the information to Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan had no response there. He understood that Ruan Zhan might be fighting with Sima Nan at this time, so he couldn't distract him anymore.

But can he just wait? Could it be that this is just as isolated as Newtown? Maybe he should find a car and go to a neighboring town for help?

No, no. If that's the case, the matter here will be exposed before Ruan Zhan withdraws, which will be bad for them. Since Ruan Zhan wants to face such a strong enemy as Sima Nan alone in the new town, then he also has to deal with these problems alone in the old town. The people here must be under control, and his task is much easier than that of Ruan Zhan, as long as he protects the townspeople from physical harm, and then defuses the 'time bomb' beneath the calm surface.

Hong Haohao and her helper are the time bomb, she was sent here by Sima Nan to sit in battle, so the person he has to deal with is her! But where did she hide?

Wanli thought as he returned to the front desk and put the key back. But when he opened the drawer, a hand suddenly reached out next to him and pressed his right wrist!

He was startled, he didn't expect this to happen in the place where everyone was sleeping, and when he looked up, a strange man's face appeared in front of him!

For a moment, he reacted and wanted to swing his baton in self-defense. But he forgot that it was in the cramped front desk, and he couldn't unfold it at all, and the stick was bounced back by the wall before it could be raised, and at the same time the other hand grabbed his left wrist!

Instinctively, he took a step back, stood in a triangle with the two men who were pulling his arms, and threw them forward with all his might.

The two people were violently thrown by Wan Li, and the whole person crashed into the front desk, making a loud 'bang', but they grabbed Wan Li's wrist and didn't let go, and they took Wan Li to a stumble. Seeing this, Wanli simply took a step forward and raised his foot and kicked the side of the knee of the person on the right.

He kicked it so hard that the man screamed in pain, and instinctively let go of his hand. Seeing that his right hand was freed, Wanli swung his fist and hit the man on the left who was pretending to be a waitress! However, the moment he hit that person, he only felt a pain in the back of his head, and he fell directly to the ground and did not wake up!

Before he passed out, he felt a red shadow flash in front of him.

"Hong Haohao!" Wanli screamed and woke up from his coma.

He opened his eyes and found himself sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the inn. Or rather, he was tied to a wooden chair and thrown in the middle of the hall.

"Am I that good? Do you still miss me after passing out? One woman said, with three points of laughter and seven points of contempt in her tone.

Wanli didn't need to look to know that the person who came was Hong Haohao, "No woman can look so good in red." He looked up, and sure enough, he saw Hong Haohao sitting on the sofa opposite him, in an elegant and seductive posture.

What he just praised was true.

This woman is a natural stunner, although her current physical body is no longer the original body with a beautiful face, but this Zhang Xue who is blind with one eye and one arm missing, but Zhang Xue is also beautiful, and the temperament that comes from the inside is still there, still so graceful, charming and enchanting. In order to hide the defects of her eyes, she wears sunglasses, and in order to hide the stiffness of her prosthetics, she keeps her body sideways, but this outfit and posture gives her a mysterious sexiness.

No wonder Sima Nan has always taken her with her, even if she doesn't love her, a woman like her will embody a man's greatest sense of superiority.

"You're really good at talking, and you deserve to be a psychiatrist." Hong Hao Hao is very praised by thousands of miles.

"I will please women, and it has nothing to do with my profession. Psychology is a very serious science, please don't mix it up. Wan Li tried to move, and immediately there was a pain all over his body, especially in the back of his head, and the spreading tingling sensation made him scream softly. He remembered that he was hit on the back of the head by someone unknown just now, and then he fainted, thinking that it was Hong Haohao. When he looked down again, he saw that his clothes had been stripped naked, and the other party only mercifully kept a pair of underwear and a pair of socks for him, and the pain all over his body came from the rope that tied his naked body.

The rope was of some unknown material, very rough, covered with tiny barbs, and when he moved, it seemed as if a thousand small needles were pricking him! This predicament couldn't help but make him curse in a low voice.

Seeing Wanli's appearance, Hong Hao laughed so much that his flowers trembled.

"That's not bad, either. I've been looking for you, but I haven't been able to find you, and I didn't expect it to come to you without effort. Wanli pretended to be relaxed. The back of his head hurt terribly with every turn of his neck, but he still looked around.

I saw that in the hall on the first floor of the entire hotel, in addition to him and Hong Haohao, there were seven or eight men who looked like thugs. He recognized them as the same people who had been fighting with him in the alley, including the poor thief, the waitress he had just pretended. Now the thief's face was bruised and swollen, he had just been beaten by him, and he was still wearing women's clothes.

"Find me?" Hong laughed, "It's a shame that you can say it, how can anyone look for someone like a dog when you close the door, and you're still that dog!" ”

"As long as the result is good, the process is nothing, the important thing is that I can talk to you here now."

"The dialogue is between people on an equal footing, why are you now? With this? Hong smiled and raised the fishing rod box in his hand.

Wanli's face changed.

In that box was a bloodwood sword, which Ruan Zhan had left for him to defend himself. It is a strange treasure of the Dao Realm, and it must not fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives.

"You shouldn't be surprised, you can't keep your clothes, can you still keep this treasure?" Hong Hao Hao was very satisfied with the surprise and tension on Wanli's face. She glanced at Wanli's strong, young, and powerful body, and a trace of desire rose in her heart, a little unwilling to kill him immediately, and wanted to hide him in a place and become her pet.

Isn't she Sima Nan's pet? Why can't she raise one? Sima Nan didn't treat her badly, but he didn't take it to heart either. Besides, he doesn't like women, and rarely wants her. And she is a mature woman, there should be a man like Wan Li to accompany her, there is nothing wrong with this, but will Sima Nan forgive her when he knows about it? He can't tolerate a little betrayal, and those who betray him die miserably!

Hong Hao hesitated, but Wan Li on the side suddenly smiled, "I will take the Bloodwood Sword back, and it is not bad to put it with you first." ”

"What if I'm going to ruin it?"

"You don't dare. Sima Nan wants to get it, if you let the Bloodwood Sword be damaged in the slightest, will he let you go? ”

"Don't be smart!"

"How about we take a gamble? You destroy the sword now, and if you dare, I will do whatever you say! Wan Li smiled beautifully, but his eyes were full of provocation.

This look made Hong Hao Hao suddenly angry.

She slammed open the box and drew the bloody wooden sword, but as soon as her hand touched the hilt, it was as if it had been burned, and she screamed and threw the sword to the ground.

Wan Li on the side was so distressed that his heart twisted. He didn't feel sorry for Hong Haohao, he felt sorry for the sword that fell to the ground, but he was afraid that Hong Hao would see his mind again, so he patiently didn't show his emotions on his face.

And Hong is good, she forgot that although she has a human body and can act like a human, after all, she borrowed someone else's body, and although the bloodwood sword that will automatically sense demons and evil spirits cannot do anything to her, which is no longer a pure soul body, it still hurts her.

When she looked up, she saw that Wanli was still smiling, and she was even more angry.

Why can't this man be as gentle and pampered to himself as he is to Yue Xiaoxia? Why did he look at himself with a playful face?

"Come here, break my sword into pieces!" She was a little angry and shouted at the thugs around her.

The men hesitated.

They didn't know that the Bloodwood Sword could only harm demons and evil spirits, and it couldn't do anything to people, but they saw that 'Zhang Xue' was so afraid of this sword, and these outsiders fought for it so desperately, and they thought that it was something that could harm people, and no one dared to come up for a while.

"Hurry up and bring it to me, or you won't have any good fruit to eat!" Hong was stern.

Several people looked at each other, and finally two people came over at the signal of their boss.

With a nervous look and a hand wrapped around his sleeve, the two people held one end of the sword, looking at the furious beauty blankly, not knowing what to do next, and feeling that the sword was extremely hot.

"Look what I'm doing! Break it! Hong Haohao's face turned pale, he stared at the Bloodwood Sword for a moment, suddenly shouted, and then took a step back as if he was a little scared.

The two thugs glanced at each other, and had no choice but to wrench hard at the bloodwood sword!
