Chapter 3: The Nightmare Banshee
"Elliot? Of course, of course I know, he is my supplier of watch parts. โ
Memories of the dead came flooding back.
Li Shenzhi replied, imitating Langdon's language habits.
Langdon, the bell watchman, had a narrow social circle, and Elliot was both a supplier of his watch parts and one of his few friends.
"He's dead!" Sheriff Road.
"What? W-When? Li Shen's heart tightened.
Judging by the letters, Eliot seems to know that Langdon was investigating "Him."
That being the case, How could Elliot die?
"He" killed?
Are there other ghosts in this world?
"When did you start investigating?" The sheriff asked suddenly.
"What?"
The dead memory instinctively wanted to answer, but was stopped by Li Shenzhi.
"How far have you investigated?"
Seeing this, the sheriff was unimpressed and continued to ask questions.
"Mr. Sheriff, I don't understand what you're saying? His death has nothing to do with me, the last time I saw him was three days ago! โ
Li Shenzhi's thoughts took a turn for the worse.
The sheriff's attitude was so determined that he felt that something was wrong.
"Ahh
Looking at Langdon with a confused face, the sheriff sighed: "Actually, you don't have to hide it, my lord is forgiving, as long as you sincerely repent, the lord will forgive you for all your sins." โ
More memories came flooding back to me.
Li Shen was shocked in his heart, there was still a foolish religion here?
He won't be condemned as a heretic and burned alive, right?
was worried in his heart, and Li Shenzhi felt a chill down his spine.
He actually saw a half-charming woman, and suddenly the sheriff rushed out of his body, smiled at him, and burrowed into his body.
It happened so fast that he didn't react!
So much so that there was only a wisp of laughter, echoing in his ears.
'Hehehehe, you're really willing to let me out......
Before the laughter fell, the woman had already drilled into Li Shenzhi's body, to be precise, into Langdon's sea of consciousness.
At this moment, the long-lost illusion once again descended on Li Shenzhi's senses.
โโยทโโ
A charming woman appeared above an endless ocean, and a heavy fog suddenly covered the sky and a black curtain shrouded the sea.
It swept its gaze across the sea, a look of confusion on its face: "The sea of collective consciousness? โ
As soon as the doubts fell, the huge ocean suddenly boiled, stirring up the fog to break and collapse, and in the stormy waves, there seemed to be an indescribable thing lurking in it.
The woman saw it.
Under its horrified gaze, a huge eye rose from the abyss of the ocean.
"Ahh
Fear was like boiling water, drenching the woman from beginning to end, causing it to scream uncontrollably.
Oh my God, what kind of sea of knowledge has it broken into through the eternal existence?
At this moment, all its thoughts froze into one thought:
- Run!
It shuddered and turned to run.
"Come back!"
It was as if a voice came from the entire ocean of consciousness that made the woman stand still.
The crushing from the soul level made it tremble.
Because it knows that in this world of consciousness, He is the only Dominant!
"A great being who walks in the abyss of consciousness that no one knows, forgive you for a splash under the stormy waves!"
"It was the damn human who imprisoned me, and he forced me to find out your secrets!"
"I am willing to serve You forever, and Your will will will be the value of my existence."
The woman trembled and racked her brains to beg for forgiveness.
It's also a good thing it's a nightmare banshee that feeds on nightmares, otherwise it's comparable to ...... No, the abyss far beyond the sea of collective consciousness was enough to drown it in an instant without the slightest wail.
Wait a minute!
The sea of consciousness seems to have calmed down a bit?
Is He hesitating?
Yes, He must have had a terrible plan to come down on this small body.
Kill me, and you'll alarm the god of navigation!
This is most likely the root cause why He didn't kill me in the first place.
The Nightmare Banshee, who had devoured too much of the Nightmare Wisdom, was keenly aware of the celestial phenomena of the abyss of the ocean, and it became excited.
"That damned human is the raventals of Bran, the god of navigation, and this pathetic rotten beast has no idea what a noble being he has offended! Forgive him for his sins, great eyes of the deep, and I will keep my mouth shut forever! โ
The nightmare banshee, who pulled the tiger skin of the god of navigation, cautiously spat out every word, praying for the possibility of survival.
The giant eyes under the deep sea glanced at it coldly, and slowly sank into the endless abyss as she trembled.
'Bet right! Bet right! โ
This scene made the Nightmare Banshee almost cry with excitement.
It desperately suppressed its mood swings, cautiously wielding its power, slowly withdrawing from this terrifying sea of consciousness.
โโยทโโ
"Boss, there's nothing out of the ordinary."
In front of the Bell Watchman's apartment, a plainclothes young man stepped out of Langdon's room and shook his head gently at the sheriff.
The sheriff bowed slightly, always making sure Langdon was under his gaze.
"Chief, isn't it too long?"
The plainclothes young man walked out of the apartment, instinctively approached the shadows, and asked again.
"Trying to spy on the soul of an evil god is always a bit special, and the Nightmare Banshee is understandably greedy...... Well, it's out. โ
As the sheriff spoke, his expression moved.
The Nightmare Banshee, invisible to the naked eye, burrowed into Langdon's body and fell into his body.
Langdon's dazed eyes also regained a bit of clarity at this moment.
"Mr. Langdon, thank you for your cooperation, and may the god of navigation protect you!"
The sheriff's heart moved, and a smile spread across his serious face.
"Huh?"
Li Shenyi's face was blank.
The sheriff was unimpressed, smiled kindly, and turned to leave.
The plainclothes young man hidden in the shadows quietly followed.
Walking out of the apartment, the two boarded the municipal carriage.
Only then did the plainclothes young man breathe a sigh of relief slightly, and asked with a curious expression:
"Boss, why don't you bring it back for interrogation? Instead, use the Nightmare Banshee. โ
"It's a good thing to be skeptical!"
The sheriff smiled: "I really shouldn't have let it out because I just contained the Nightmare Banshee, but you have to understand one thing, Langdon and Elliot have obviously investigated the tyranny in depth, and this behavior has led to Elliot's death, in this case, how much do you think Langdon's words are still credible?" โ
"Then why not just use the Nightmare Banshee in the first place? You said that sometimes you need to be cautious and tentative, and sometimes you need to give it your all. The plainclothes man asked again.
"Hahaha...... Nice counterattack, because he's the bell watchman. โ
"This profession is special?"
"No, it's the clock."
"The clock?"
"The clock itself is an anomaly, no evil can come close, and I think that's why he's still alive."
"What's so special about that clock?"
"Forgot the warning of the church again? Knowledge is a curse, and there are some things, don't be aware of them, and when you look at it, it will look at you too! When it's time for you to know, the church will tell you. โ
The plainclothes man's face turned embarrassed, and he quickly changed the topic:
"I see, Chief, by the way, what did the Nightmare Banshee see?"
"It's nothing, after Elliot persuaded him not to investigate, he stopped, I have to say, fear saved his life."
"Fear also saves our bells!"

Li Shenzhi, who sent the sheriff away, looked dazed.
Later, he learns that the Nightmare Banshee can not only eat dreams to snoop on secrets, but also weave illusory memories to deceive the brain.
However, at this time, it was the Nightmare Banshee herself that shocked him even more!
"There are ghosts in this world?"
"Looks like that sheriff has the ability to manipulate ghosts."
"I just don't know why that ghost seems to be afraid of me? Could it be that ghosts are also strong and weak? โ
"Yes, I can be reborn, but it is enslaved, in a way, I am indeed a little better than it."
"Fortunately, it was frightened and didn't try it any further. Otherwise, it will find that I can't help it. โ
Li Shenzhi was full of joy.
For the Nightmare Banshee, it enters the sea of consciousness of Langdon;
But for Li Shenzhi, what he saw was an "illusion", an illusion that could only be viewed from a distance and could not be touched!
"It seems that the hallucinations I saw before were not all hallucinations. It's just that most of them can't be touched, and they can't meet! โ
"But, then again, how could that sheriff enslave the ghost? By some special method? โ
For a while, Li Shen's heart became more and more afraid and frightened.
"In the future, you must be very careful, don't let people find out that I am a ghost, otherwise you will die at worst, or be enslaved at worst."
"Also, if you have the chance, be sure to figure out how they enslave the ghosts."
