"Are you trying to scare me?" Chu Yuexi's expression became obviously nervous.
The song RANDOM is going to play next is probably the nightmare sign?
Yu Zhesen's eyes told her that he was not lying.
At this time, the prelude of the song has already sounded on the stage.
"I... let's go." Chu Yuexi was still worried about something unexpected happening after all. They had tracked down Jing Xiangming before and might be targeted by Xiang.
Yu Zhesen walked through the crowd of people in the bar with her, said hello to Ma Yingying at the bar from a distance, and then they both stepped up the stairs.
The moment they pushed the door open, the fresh air outside made their minds a little clearer.
"Have you and Miss Yu come into contact with nightmares here before?"
"Yes, that's why I doubt that piece of music."
In that superimposed dream, he heard the song "The Dream Flower That Never Dies" both in the bar and in the taxi. This is definitely not a coincidence.
"There are so many people in the bar down there, and they all listened to that song. Will Nightmare enter the dreams of all of them?"
Yu Zhesen shook his head: "This is unknown. We still don't know what the nightmare wants to do."
Chu Yuexi asked again: "Has that RANDOM band been indirectly exploited? Why did Xi choose this song? According to the bassist, their opening song for the second half will always be this song. Is there any problem in this?
”
Yu Zhesen thought for a while along her train of thought, but was still not sure, so he said cautiously: "Don't make any suspicions or inferences for the time being. The Security Bureau's investigation of Nightmare is going very difficult. Hongyu Bar can be used as a breakthrough point for gathering intelligence."
, let’s not alert the enemy.”
"You didn't go to see Senior Sun for personal matters today, did you?" Chu Yuexi looked at the backpack behind him, which contained the bag of comic books that Sun Minghang gave him.
"To be honest, I'm not that close to Sun Minghang. I went to his house today to get clues about the case."
"That comic is called "Dream Maniacs". Does it have anything to do with Nightmare?"
Yu Zhesen somewhat admired her insight, but he still dismissed her as careless: "Comics are just an auxiliary means to provide inspiration and ideas. If it is regarded as the only way to investigate, then there must be something wrong with the commissioner's mind, don't you think?" Chu Yuexi held up her mobile phone and said: "I searched online and found that Qu Baizhou, the author of the comic, passed away two years ago. He was only 21 years old when he was killed in a car accident. He was very young."
Yu Zhesen remained silent.
"A whole bus of people was killed, and there were no survivors. This seems a bit bizarre." She said while reading online accident reports. "The place where the bus overturned was not very steep, and the fire did not start immediately. People near the doors and windows should have
Just enough time to escape."
"Sun Minghang believes that this accident is related to the nightmare."
"Really? Senior Sun has investigated this case?"
"He didn't say it directly, but he gave me clues for thinking." Yu Zhesen said, "Maybe Sun Minghang felt that letting me draw this conclusion myself was more convincing than him directly instilling it in me."
"What clue?"
"Qu Baizhou is a supernatural being with a very powerful ability called 'Shadow Connection'."
Yu Zhesen explained to her the use of Shadow Link's ability: "Logically speaking, it is impossible for Qu Baizhou to die in the car. At the moment of the accident, he should have activated his ability to move to a safe area through the shadows that can be seen everywhere."<
/p>
"Is it too late to react?"
"No, obviously not. He has more experience in supernatural combat than ordinary people. If the car overturns and falls from a height, there should be enough time for him to react."
"Isn't he a student and part-time cartoonist?" Chu Yuexi was confused, "Where does he have more experience in supernatural combat than the average person?"
Yu Zhesen smiled: "You would have known about it half an hour after you came to Sun Minghang's house."
"Huh? Wouldn't it be the same if you told me now?"
"Why do you want to know this?" Yu Zhesen did not answer directly.
Chu Yuexi said confidently: "After all, I am also the commissioner in charge of Jing Xiangming. Isn't it my duty to investigate the nightmare? You seem to want to exclude me?"
"C-level commissioners should save their time." He shook his head, "Your powers are not of the combat type. Just follow the arrangements of your D team and go to work honestly."
Chu Yuexi stared at him unhappily, but Yu Zhesen was unwilling to reveal more information to her.
Five minutes later, a taxi hailed by Yu Zhesen stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Until she got in the car, Chu Yuexi was still sulking.
"The conspiracy between you and Senior Sun is also against the rules," she said quietly, "Claire didn't authorize you to investigate at all, right?"
"Sun Minghang has a personal grudge, and I have no way out." He said, "Nama once asked me a question in my dream, and I will give him the answer the next time we meet."
"Can't we work side by side like before? I am now...at least nominally your girlfriend."
"Not until we find the right way to fight against the nightmare." Yu Zhesen said in a non-negotiable tone.
Chu Yuexi pouted: "So you also have such a tough side..."
Yu Zhesen turned to look out of the car window and suddenly realized that this seemed to be a bridge connecting the old city and Hong Kong Island.
"Master, are you driving in the wrong direction? We are going to the Duting Garden Community in the Municipal District." He asked aloud.
Chu Yuexi on the side looked out the window in surprise. Outside the car window, it was pitch black in the distance, and the lights of the cross-sea bridge were stretched into long rays at the high speed of the car.
She couldn't tell which bridge it was. There were too many bridges in Qidao City.
But the navigation and positioning of the mobile phone did not lie. Chu Yuexi took a look at the navigation map and found that the taxi was not driving towards her home.
The driver in the front seat didn't answer and kept driving calmly.
"Did you not hear us because you were wearing headphones?" Chu Yuexi was sitting at the back and could see that the driver had Bluetooth headphones on his ears.
Yu Zhesen stood up holding the back of the driver's seat, but as soon as he made a move, he heard a "click".
It came from under the seat.
A familiar melody sounded, and his mind suddenly froze.
There is a small tape recorder hidden under the driver's seat, which is currently playing "The Flower of Dreams That Will Never Die".
Something happened, you shouldn’t go to Hongyu Bar tonight!
He gritted his teeth and bent down, reaching under the seat to fumble around, trying to pull out the tape recorder and turn it off, but the moment he reached under the seat, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Yu Zhesen was so painful that a cold hiss escaped from his mouth.
He quickly pulled his hand back and found that the middle finger of his right hand had been stabbed with a bloody hole by some sharp object.
"Yu Zhesen!" Chu Yuexi exclaimed, "Why are you injured?"
The taxi suddenly skidded sideways, and both of them were thrown to the side of the door by centrifugal force.
The sound of the songs played on the recorder became more and more harsh, and Yu Zhesen realized that the tape had been modified. In addition to "The Flowers of Dreams That Will Never Die", other sounds were mixed in.
It was vaguely like someone was picking at the rough wooden board with nails.
