The time of Unity is coming to an end.

It has already fallen into the night, but the Jin Mansion is still brightly lit and noisy as daytime.

Government servants were bustling in and out of various courtyard houses, with the same momentum as bandits ransacking a house, but what they brought out was not just property, but living people.

The banquet in the main hall of the front yard had been removed. Bo Ziyu stood in the hall, frowning as he looked at the Jin family, young and old, and the male and female servants who were "sleeping" neatly on the floor.

Zhang Yi's slash was quite satisfying, but in the end he still didn't know what kind of monster it was? What kind of magic spell he cast? It made everyone in Jin Mansion fall asleep, and they couldn't wake up no matter what happened.

"Work harder! Hey, ha..."

Three government servants groaned and carried a fat woman in, "duang" and put her down, while the leader thumped her waist.

"Sister-in-law, why is this big insect so fat?"

He complained several times before reporting to Bo Ziyu.

"Board leader, all thirty-seven members of the Jin family are here."

Bo Ziyu said "hmm", turned his head and glanced, but said strangely:

"Where's the Taoist Priest?"

The officer was stunned.

"Which one?"

"two!"

The Yamen servant responded quickly:

"Daozhang Feng has sent people to Shuiyue Temple a long time ago. They are probably still on the way. It is estimated that they will arrive soon. Taozhang Li..."

He looked at the corner of the yard, but there was no one there, and confusion suddenly appeared on his face.

"Huh? It's weird, it was still there just now."

…………

Li Changan disappeared quietly and went into the backyard of Jin Mansion alone.

The backyard is a typical southern garden style, with luxuriant flowers and trees and winding corridors.

He found a secluded place and leaned against a white courtyard wall. There was a large flower-patterned window inlaid on the wall. Through the red lacquered wooden lattice, he could see large tracts of wisteria flowers in the opposite courtyard.

Under the moonlight, there is a shallow light.

"Come out."

He said without thinking, but there was an immediate response from the other side of the flower window.

Clothes were heard flying, and a red dress fell down gracefully.

Yu Mei still wore that ghost face and leaned on the other side of the wall.

"When did it arrive?"

"always there."

"Have you seen them all?"

"From beginning to end."

Li Changan's teeth were a little sore.

This Yu official could not be summoned at all times, but she would appear whenever there was a monster. She always acted like a secret worker, and would not appear in front of others easily, nor would she let Taoist priests reveal her existence.

But it is not certain that her pretense of mystery had much effect. At least Feng Chong was vaguely aware of it, but it was because of Li Changan's face that he did not reveal it.

Even though this secretive look really made people unhappy, but one thing can be said, she did help a lot, and the Taoist priest had nothing to say.

Li Changan was lazy and didn't bother to delve into troublesome matters, so he stopped worrying about Yu Mei's unpredictable whereabouts and started talking about business. This person has always been very good at identifying monsters.

"The people in the mansion have been sleeping and unable to wake up. Do you know why?"

"Know."

Yu Mei's answers are always quick.

"Because this time the monster is a 'nightmare'."

"impossible!"

As soon as he heard this word, Li Changan subconsciously retorted.

Nightmare is a kind of charm born in dreams.

Common but rare.

It is said to be common because it often arises with dreams; it is said to be rare because people's dreams are fragile and short-lived, and even nightmares often die with dreams, making it difficult to cause trouble in front of others.

Such a weak monster that lives at night and faces death can only make people indulge in dreams and absorb some energy. How can it drag the souls of dozens of people into dreams at the same time?

"People can turn into monsters, and ghosts can appear in busy cities. Why can't nightmares drag people into dreams?"

Li Changan was speechless.

really.

The monsters in Xiaoshui City are full of weirdness. Compared to this, the 'Nightmare' has become 1,800 times more powerful, but it doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

Moreover, in this way, the drowsy symptoms of the people in the mansion can be explained.

'Nightmare' is originally formless and insubstantial, but the monsters in the city are all transformed into humans, with an extra body that shouldn't exist.

Zhang Yi's sword killed the demon body and also freed it from its shackles. The demon soul may have escaped into the dreams of the people in the mansion.

No wonder they can't wake up, it turns out that 'Nama' is still alive!

Li Changan considered himself to be a Taoist priest who had become a monk on the way. He was very lacking in means and experience, but he had a thick skin, so he immediately took up his arms.

"Master Yu, do you have a way to subdue the demon and save everyone?"

unexpectedly.

"unnecessary."

Yu Mei replied like this.

Her voice was always calm.

"I have checked and found that only the Jin Mansion family is controlled by the 'Night', and the surrounding families have not been affected. As long as the Jin Mansion people are isolated and restricted, the demon can be trapped without any effort.

"

It sounds like a cost-effective way, but...

"What will happen to the Jin family?"

Yu Mei always responded quickly, but now she hesitated for a long time, which was rare.

"Dreams are the rest of thoughts, thoughts are the rest of the soul..."

Her tone was a little more urgent, as if she was explaining:

"The sorcery of this 'nightmare' is very difficult to control. People dragged into dreams by it cannot be awakened by external forces. They can only sneak into their dreams to fight with the 'nightmare'. The 'nightmare' was originally born in a dream.

With the cultivation level of you, me, or that Daoist Feng, it is too dangerous, so why not take the opportunity to trap it, and exchange a few mortals for the evil spirits to be calmed down, wouldn't it be very cost-effective?"

Cost-effective?

really.

There are very few people in Xiaoshui City who have the ability to fight against demons, but there are many hidden demons. It is really not rational to put yourself in danger for a mere "nightmare".

The Taoist priest nodded.

but it is.

“Not cost-effective.”

However, Li Changan has a "short-sighted" vision and cannot bear to see the overall situation, let alone innocent people suffering in front of him. Therefore, Yu Mei's calculation is not a good deal when it comes to him.

Yu Mei was very angry.

for a while.

The only thing that could be heard in the yard was her suppressed breathing.

"what ever."

She said it firmly.

Then I heard clothes flying around again, and the person was gone without a trace.

"Taoist Priest!"

But it was Bo Ziyu who hurried over with a lantern.

"I've been looking for you for a long time!" he complained, "Daozhang Feng and the others are already here, waiting for you."

…………

"Weird!"
