Chapter 379: Sleeping Dreams
Half-asleep and half-awake, Mianmian found herself on a seashore.
On the beach in front of me, a little girl with a bobo head and a kimono was squatting on the ground, concentrating on building a castle of sand.
At this time, the little girl seemed to notice her presence, looked up, and when she saw her, she smiled at her, raised her hand and waved it, and beckoned her to come and play with her.
Mianmian subconsciously walked over.
However, before she could take a few steps, a number of black shadows suddenly appeared behind the girl, and the black shadows covered the girl's mouth from behind and took her away, no matter how much the little girl struggled, she could only stretch out her hand and ask for help in the distance.
Seeing that the girl was caught, Mianmian hurriedly chased after her, but this run, she found that her body was so heavy, and her whole body seemed to be filled with lead, making it difficult for her to walk every time she lifted her feet.
Not only that, but the sand under her body suddenly turned into quicksand, and she sank a little with every step she took until her legs were all sunk into the sand, and she couldn't move at all, and she could only watch the girl cry farther and farther away from her......
"No ......"
When she woke up from her nightmare, she found herself lying on the bed, and the quilt in front of her was moving upwards little by little.
Mianmian looked along the sheet, and a dark humanoid ghost was standing beside the bed, carefully pinching the corners of the quilt with both hands and covering her, moving very gently, for fear of waking her up.
At this time, Mian Mian woke up, his eyes met, and the shadow ghost's movements suddenly froze, and after two seconds of sluggishness, a wail came out of his mouth, and he immediately turned around and quickly ran out of the door.
"Dream dreams!"
Mianmian hurriedly got up from the bed and chased the shadow ghost out the door.
However, the shadow ghost floated very fast, and when she chased downstairs, the shadow ghost had quickly floated to Mu You, who was playing with his mobile phone at the front desk of the store, and plunged into his shadow and disappeared.
Mianmian trotted all the way, hurriedly lying on the ground, looking left and right along the shadow of Mu You, but could no longer find any trace of the shadow ghost.
"Awake?" Mu You looked at her.
"Mu You, what about Mengmeng?" The little girl hurriedly looked up at Mu You.
Mu You glanced at the shadow on the ground.
Through the shadows, he could see that among the shadows, the shadow ghost was holding the shadow pom-pom, trembling and cowering in a corner between the shadows.
"If you block it like this, of course it won't dare to show up." Mu You shook his head at her.
"I ...... I just wanted to talk to her......" Mianmian lowered her head a little lost.
"Don't worry, the Shadow Ghost's intelligence is like a born baby, fragile and sensitive, especially when it comes to you. If you want to communicate with it, you must first make it feel safe, and wait for it to take the initiative to approach you, instead of you chasing it coldly, which will only make her afraid of you. Mu You.
"What needs to be done?" Mianmian hurriedly looked at Mu You and asked.
"It's simple, as long as you smile more."
"Laugh?"
"This shadow ghost was born to protect you, to help you drive away all the pain, is the meaning of its existence, watching you happy, it will be at ease, on the contrary, if you are sad every day, it will also be painful." Mu Youdao.
After listening to Mianmian, she hurriedly tried to empty her facial muscles, wanting to make a 'laughing' expression.
However, the experience of living in the dark for a long time has made her develop a physical habit of almost facial paralysis, and 'laughter' is a very unfamiliar word to her body.
"It's so hard ......"
Mianmian complained while still facing the mirror, kneading her cheeks with her hands, and practicing her smile carefully.
"There are many ways to express happiness, and it doesn't have to be a smile on your face......"
Mu You looked at her amusedly, took out a temporary ID card from the drawer, and handed it to her: "Yours." β
"What?"
Mianmian subconsciously took it and glanced at the certificate, the signature of the certificate was 'Mumian Meng', and next to it was a photo of a little girl with black hair and black eyes and delicate facial features.
"Who is this little girl who looks familiar and has the same surname as you?" Mianmian looked at Mu You strangely.
"Of course it's you......"
"Me?" Mianmian was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked at the photo again, and the signature next to him, looked up at him, and corrected: "My name is Mianmian!" β
"I know, but Mianmian is a nickname, and if you want to live normally on Earth in the future, you must have an official name." Mu You said with a smile.
This document is the result of his busy afternoon, and the identity declared to the little girl is 'an orphan wandering from another world', who was picked up by him some time ago, and has taken her in to live in the store for a while.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the past six months, and the existence of spatial rifts has caused other worldly creatures to often flow to the earth, and some children occasionally appear among them. After the public beta, there is already a special law in this regard, and those who adopt these orphans from other worlds need to go through strict review in terms of identity, and all aspects can be met before they can be adopted, and children who are not adopted will be sent to special welfare homes.
Of course, the normal adoption procedure can't be so fast, but after all, Mu You is an insider, and he has just reached a cooperation with the country (Knowledge Ancient Tree), there will be no difficulties in this kind of unimportant matter, and the green light is given all the way in the process, so that he can settle down so quickly.
As for the above photo, Lin Xue took it for the little girl, of course, after some processing, such as the eye color has been corrected, and the red eyes on the ID photo are still slightly abrupt.
"Mu is my surname, and Mianmeng is the name of you and Mengmeng. You see if it fits, and if you don't like it, you still have a chance to change it. Mu You said to her.
"Mu Mian Meng, Mian Meng, me and Meng Meng ......" Mian Mian Wen Yan looked at the name on the document and muttered, his eyes gradually lit up, and he quickly raised his head and said: "No need to change it, I want this!" β
"Are you sure?"
"Sure! Sleep dreams, that's my name...... I'm going to practice it......"
The little girl happily turned around with her documents, and then ran upstairs with her hands in her hands.
As soon as Mianmian left, the shadow ghost hidden in the shadow also poked out again, and followed her like a fart.
Mu You watched one person and one ghost play hide and seek funny, and didn't care about them, and his attention returned to the game.
Just now, the jack-o'-lantern was triggered, showing signs of someone being attacked on the ground, and asked him if he had acted bravely.
Of course, Mu You chose 'Yes', and the options triggered by the jack-o'-lantern have not been negative.
[You follow the trail of dragging, and soon you come to the depths of the dark alley. γ
[The jack-o-lantern glows faintly blue, reflecting the scene ahead: a vampire gnaws on the neck of an unconscious young woman from behind, feasting!] γ
"Vampires?"
Mu You was stunned, he originally intended to find a werewolf, but he didn't expect to run into a vampire first.
Speaking of which, it is not only werewolves but also vampires that attack humans at night.
Mu You doesn't have this need because he keeps a gargoyle and automatically helps him suppress his desire for blood sucking every day, but normal vampires need to suck blood every day.
[The vampire noticed that someone was approaching, and immediately became vigilant, let go of the unconscious woman in his hand, opened his mouth full of blood, bared his fangs, and made a threatening voice at you, warning you not to approach. γ
[But a few seconds later, the vampire suddenly put away his fangs, hurriedly wiped his mouth, came to you in fear, and bowed down to you: "It turned out to be Lord Earl, it was a villain, and I thought it was from the church and the demon hunting guild......]
"Huh?"
Mu You was stunned, he is now a vampire skin, yes, but wearing thousands of faces, his appearance should have changed, and the other party actually recognized him?
Just as I was confused, a prompt popped up in the game.
[The vampire clan is highly hierarchical, and the other party, as a vampire viscount, can recognize the aura of the superior on your body, so he is respectful to you. γ
[Now, you may be able to take the opportunity to ask the other party for some information.] γ
[Ask the clan council.] γ
[Ask the Bloodline.] γ
[Ask the Rhine family.] γ
"Is it just a title......
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the other party only recognized his level, and did not know his specific identity.
Coming back to his senses, Mu You looked at the three options below and clicked them in turn with his pocket watch.
[You ask the other person about the Vampire Clan.] γ
[The vampire tells you that the clan meeting that was originally scheduled to open three days ago has not yet been held, because the Rhine family, which holds the heart of the mist, has not been able to hand over the heart of the mist, resulting in the inability to open the clan meeting. γ
"Heart of the Mist......"
Mu You was slightly embarrassed, this Rhine family was actually the family where his skin master belonged, and the people of this family had sent blood servants to the Misty Mountain to get the Heart of the Mist, but he was killed, and the 'Clan Meeting Invitation' left for him was also forgotten by him, after all, he didn't want to come over to participate in any clan meeting.
Unexpectedly, this vampire's clan meeting actually collided with this mission, and if he didn't come to participate in the clan meeting, the consequences seemed to be quite serious, and the entire family where the skin was located was directly removed.
Mu You was also a little embarrassed at this time.
Vampire skins have helped him a lot, he has a short hand, morally speaking, the skin family is in trouble, and he should help.
But on the other hand, after all, he has already extracted the skin, if someone finds out that he is a fool, it means that the original vampire count has died in his hands, will he be hated or even hunted down by the people of the Rhine family at that time?
Mu You couldn't decide for a while, so he had to continue looking down first.
[You ask the other party about the basic information of the blood clan.] γ
[The vampire gave you a strange look, but did not question, and quickly explained to you the basic composition of the blood clan. γ
[The gods believed in by the blood clan are the gods of blood, and the clansmen under the gods are divided into ancestors, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, barons, and ordinary blood clans according to their status. There are also artificially created Blood Servants under the Normal Bloodline, but they are not classified as Orthodox Blood. At present, there are 3,421 surviving orthodox blood clans, divided into 13 clans, and subdivided into 72 families, hundreds of large families, and small families with only dozens or even single-digit populations. γ
"So there are only more than 3,000 people in the entire blood clan?"
Mu You was stunned, this number was much smaller than he imagined.
[Time passes, you ask the other party about the situation and location of the Rhine family. γ
[Vampires tell you that the Rhine family once had a powerful vampire count thousands of years ago, and once ranked among the top ten families, but since the count disappeared, the glory of the Rhine family has continued to decline, and now it is just a very ordinary small family, with a total population of more than ten people, and the highest status is only a viscount, which is inconspicuous in the blood clan. γ
[As for the location of the Rhine family...... The vampire said that due to the frequent movement of vampires, the location of each family is not fixed, and he does not know the specific location of the Rhine family at the moment. However, he had seen the Rhine family near the dark forest in the north of the city a few days ago, maybe you could look around there......]
The Rhine family seems to be very weak......
Mu You relaxed a little, so that even if he was really hated and hunted down by this family, it didn't seem to be a big problem.
When he asked for the address, Mu You didn't embarrass the vampire anymore and prepared to leave.
[You politely declined the Vampire Viscount's offer to enjoy a 'good meal' with you, and left the alley and hurried to the Dark Forest. γ
γOn the Road......γ
Mu You still decided to find this Rhine family, but he didn't plan to come forward, but was ready to secretly leave the Heart of the Mist to them, even if he was benevolent to the skin owner.
This forest is outside the dark city, not far from the city, it belongs to a low-level training ground, and there are also some people who don't like the hustle and bustle of the city will live in the forest here.
Ten minutes later, Mu You arrived at the place.
However, just as he was thinking about how to find someone, text popped up in the game.
[Before you came to the dark forest, before you stepped into the forest, a call suddenly came from behind you: "Brother? βγ
[You turn around and find a 'bat' hanging upside down on a large tree behind you, and the bat quickly spreads its wings and lands and turns into a graceful female vampire. γ
[The vampire walked towards you uncertainly, stopped a few meters in front of you, and after carefully identifying it, he suddenly showed a surprised smile, walked quickly to you, and grabbed your arm: "Brother, it's really you!" βγ
[You look at each other, and the omniscient crystal feeds back the vampire's message.] γ
[Rhein Mai (level 20 unevolved): Rhine Liston's younger sister, the eldest daughter of the Rhine family, vampire viscount, has unlocked the family talent: Super Sense. γ
Mu You's eyelids jumped, Rhine Mai Yi was the owner of the blood servant he killed before, that is, his own sister with this skin, he didn't expect to meet the main master just after he came.
But what puzzled him was that he was wearing a thousand faces, why could the other party still recognize him?
Mu You was thinking about whether to backtrack to avoid this encounter, but the text popped up again.
[Seeing the blank expression on your face, Rheinmai looked at you with some concern: "Brother, you don't know me anymore?" Sure enough, did your 'amnesia' attack again? βγ
