Jiang Xiaoyan came back to her senses, opened her mouth, and said in her heart.
【I...I...】
"No need to rush to answer."
Tang Mubai stared into Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes and chuckled, "It's not urgent, you can think about it slowly."
"Huh..." Jiang Xiaoyan exhaled, and her tense body relaxed slightly.
"However, you can't stay here anymore." Tang Mubai added, "If you want revenge, we will help you. With more people and strength, the murderer can't escape even if he wants to."
【good!】
Jiang Xiaoyan nodded and did not insist anymore.
【I’ll leave my things at home and follow you.】
Jiang Xiaoyan picked up the bag and shook it in mid-air.
Tang Mubai smiled, "Go."
【I'll be down right away!】
Jiang Xiaoyan glanced at Tang Mubai, turned around, picked up the bag and ran quickly towards an old building.
A minute later, he ran out again and walked towards Tang Mubai.
"Let's go."
Tang Mubai waved and took Jiang Xiaoyan to the temporary command center outside the street.
On the road.
Jiang Xiaoyan told her story.
That means she doesn't know what's going on...
She only remembered that that night, she was sleeping well, and suddenly she dreamed of her aunt, and there was a terrifying monster next to her.
The monster had nine snake-like heads, and its lower body was an ugly ball of flesh covered with malignant tumors.
It stands to reason that when a person is dreaming, his consciousness should be very blurred.
But the amazing thing is that after seeing her aunt, she became very conscious.
Not only her, but also her aunt, both of them are full of differences.
It was as if the souls of two people suddenly left their physical bodies and entered other spaces.
They were frightened and wanted to run away, but the monster had already rushed over and bit Jiang Xiaoyan.
As a result, in order to save her, her aunt pushed Jiang Xiaoyan away and stood in front of her, and was eaten by the monster.
Jiang Xiaoyan, who witnessed her aunt being killed by a monster with a snake head and a big mouth, exploded on the spot. For some reason, she almost instinctively conjured a sword and slashed at the monster, injuring it.
The monster screamed and ran away, breaking open the space. Jiang Xiaoyan also woke up.
After waking up, Jiang Xiaoyan ran out of the room to find her aunt, who was no longer breathing.
That's the whole process.
She had no idea about the origins of the monsters involved, why she could conjure swords, bizarre encounters in dreams, etc.
After hearing this, Tang Mubai had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure.
He had only heard of this weird and bizarre incident before, but didn't know much about the specific circumstances.
Liu Fusheng, Huang Shengwen and others are different.
Tang Mubai brought Jiang Xiaoyan out just to verify with them.
…
"She is the survivor?"
At the temporary command center, Yu Renjie, the director of the Muyang City Security Bureau, frowned when he saw Jiang Xiaoyan for the first time and said, "Master Tang, do you really believe her words? A monster in a dream?"
"What Lao Yu means is that the little girl may have remembered it wrong?" Zhao Shoushan from the Wushu Association quickly answered, "After all, the little girl is a family member of the victim. It is understandable that she has been emotionally unstable these days.
.”
"It would be great if the murderer really came from a dream. At least there is a direction. It's not like it was a complete mess before. Finding the murderer is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack." Wei Ziji, advisor to the Muyang City Admiral's Mansion, sighed.
.
"Ahem, don't you guys rush to define it?"
Minghan, the master of Tiangang Sect, coughed lightly and said calmly, "Everything is possible. It is not good to be too arbitrary."
"Yes." Chang Haiquan of the Dalu Group nodded in agreement, "If the little girl is a survivor, it would actually be a good thing. Think about it, if the murderer really came from a dream, wouldn't that just confirm the murderer?
Weird and bizarre?”
"Chang Dong means that the murderer this time is a dream demon?" Liu Fusheng, who had been silent until now, interrupted.
"That's right."
The master of Jingyang Martial Arts School, Yan Qingcheng, responded quickly, "It's the Dream Demon! When Wang Taishang and others reported before, I thought that the murderer might be the Dream Demon!"
"This is also my guess."
Tang Mubai continued, "He never showed up, there were no traces, and there was no blood. The victim died mysteriously, and the time was after midnight. Adding Jiang Xiaoyan's testimony, combined, the possibility of the murderer being a dream demon is as high as nine percent."
nineteen!"
silence.
After Tang Mubai finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.
Minghan, Chang Haiquan, Yan Qingcheng, Yu Renjie, Zhao Shoushan and Wei Ziji all frowned.
Including Liu Fusheng, Huang Shengwen, and Lu Zhaoyuan, none of them spoke, frowning in thought.
Tang Mubai summed it up so well!
Incubus.
Like corpse demons and stone demons, they are a type of monster.
But unlike corpse demons and stone demons, dream demons have no entity and are not energy bodies.
But a magical and weird spiritual body!
Facing the dream demon, neither ordinary people nor warriors can see or perceive it.
Only when you enter a dream can you encounter it.
Of course, it was the dream demon who came to the door, not the warrior.
For monsters like the Dream Demon, even if Tang Mubai had the Demon Suppressing Bead, there was nothing he could do.
To be honest, the previous zombie demons, stone demons, and Tang Mubai were all transferred through the system space.
Tang Mubai could catch them directly, but if it were the dream demon, he would be blind.
The existence of consciousness and whether thoughts can be locked are all problems.
To put it bluntly, for monsters like the Dream Demon, no matter how perfect their other martial arts are, it will be useless.
Only spiritual martial arts...
Attack, shock, defense and other spiritual martial arts can be effective.
For this reason, Tang Mubai was neither anxious nor afraid.
He already has two spiritual martial arts, "Heart Sutra of Entering Dreams" and "Lingxi Sword", and has mastered them all, reaching the state of perfection.
Once the dream demon comes, Tang Mubai is confident to fight it!
As for others...
Ming Han, Chang Haiquan, Yan Qingcheng, Yu Renjie, Zhao Shoushan and Wei Ziji all looked bad.
They are indeed masters, and some are even half-step innate.
But if the murderer is really a dream demon, then the role they can play is extremely limited and they can only protect themselves.
Relying on the slow growth of mental power for decades, he could barely resist the dream demon's devouring.
Because the mental strength is strong, they can be twisted into one and used as weapons.
Although it won't last long, it's good to have the ability to protect yourself under special circumstances.
Unless you break through to innateness!
Or he was born with all five orifices open and developed spiritual thoughts.
Only by possessing spiritual thoughts can one gather the soul barrier to resist attacks from the spirit, soul, consciousness, etc., which naturally includes dream demons.
Of all the people present, Huang Shengwen was probably the only one with the Soul Barrier.
In other words, if the dream demon comes, only Huang Shengwen can get rid of it.
They didn't know that Tang Mubai practiced spiritual martial arts.
Thinking of this, even Liu Fusheng was extremely confused.
…
【What happened to them?】
Jiang Xiaoyan, aware of the heavy atmosphere in the hall, raised her head and looked at Tang Mubai.
"fine."
Tang Mubai smiled and broke the silence, "Whether it is a dream demon or not has yet to be confirmed. What I mean is, if the dream demon really comes at night..."
"It's really coming, who here can resist it?" Yu Renjie interrupted in a low voice.
"Who can resist? Can't Captain Huang be the same?" Minghan frowned and retorted.
"Whether it is a dream demon or not, only after confirmation can we think of a countermeasure." Chang Haiquan said solemnly.
"If it is really a dream demon, what countermeasures can we have?" Zhao Shoushan spread his hands, "In addition to the soul barrier that can resist the dream demon, only the spiritual martial arts of attacking type can be expelled. Does anyone here practice spiritual martial arts?"
"It is not necessary to practice spiritual martial arts." Yan Qingcheng said in a loud voice, "It is also possible to use offensive weapons and spiritual objects specifically aimed at the soul."
"The question is, do you have that kind of treasure?" Wei Ziji answered.
"We don't have it, so don't you have it either?" Yan Qingcheng asked angrily.
While saying this, he glanced at Liu Fusheng, and Huang Shengwen heard.
Spiritual treasures and spiritual objects are indeed rare, but the Governor's Mansion and the Flying Deer Army have a high chance of possessing them.
Yan Qingcheng and others seemed to be quarreling with each other, but in fact they were reminding Liu Fusheng that it was time for Huang Shengwen, the two innates, to take action!
If you have any spiritual treasures or spiritual objects, it’s time to take them out!
Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't see this disguised reminder, but Tang Mubai, Di Xiaochuan and others knew it very well, but they all knew it and chose to keep silent.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Liu Fusheng looked at Ming Han, Chang Haiquan, Yan Qingcheng, Yu Renjie, Zhao Shoushan, and Wei Ziji with an expressionless expression, and said calmly, "Captain Tang is right. There is still a final step to confirm whether the murderer is a dream demon."
, if it really comes at night, I will have a way to prevent it from coming back!"
"That's great." Yu Renjie clapped his hands and grinned, "What I've been waiting for is General Counsel Liu's words!"
"right!"
"It would be great if there is a way."
"Yeah yeah."
Ming Han, Chang Haiquan, Yan Qingcheng, Zhao Shoushan, and Wei Ziji all agreed.
Tang Mubai saw the expressions on their faces, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Of course, Liu Fusheng's answer made everyone relax slightly in their tense bodies and minds.
Since he dares to say this, he is absolutely sure.
This is great news!
Now we're just waiting for morning to arrive.
Whether the murderer is a dream demon or not, the answer will be known at night.
…
Time passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, night falls.
Before midnight arrived, Liu Fusheng, Huang Shengwen, and Lu Zhaoyuan led the team, and all the masters entered the long street.
Jiang Xiaoyan also joined in, saying she didn't want to stay outside.
Tang Mubai was confident, so he didn't try to dissuade him.
After the group entered the long street, they chose a supermarket as a stopping point. They seemed to be scattered, but in fact they were able to quickly find a place to sit down in close contact with each other.
Then, let the brain enter light sleep.
If you don’t fall asleep, you won’t see the dream demon at all!
Tang Mubai didn't need to do this. He directly used the "Heart Sutra of Entering Dreams" and waited for the arrival of the dream demon.
Jiang Xiaoyan is by his side and can take care of him at any time.
If it is really a dream demon, then there is a high chance that everyone will enter the same dream space!
This is the conclusion Tang Mubai came to based on Jiang Xiaoyan's story.
The dream demon should have the ability to pull several people into the same dream space!
Whether this is the case or not, the answer will soon be revealed.
It's past midnight.
Tang Mubai keenly sensed that there was a strange atmosphere in the sky above the entire street.
This group of breath came out of nowhere, and after it arrived, it quickly swept through the entire long street.
The next moment, they arrived at the supermarket where Tang Mubai and his party were staying.
Buzz~
Tang Mubai, who used the "Heart Sutra of Entering Dreams", decisively entered the illusion.
In that gray and nihilistic world that overlaps with reality, "see" a huge dream bubble space, Ming Han, Chang Haiquan, Yan Qingcheng, Yu Renjie, Zhao Shoushan, Wei Ziji, Jiang Xiaoyan, Di Xiaochuan, Lu
According to the original, appear collectively.
Opposite the nine of them, a fleshy ball monster with nine snake heads and an extremely ugly lower body was opening its nine mouths and biting them one by one.
"ah!"
Facing the attack of the meat ball monster, Ming Han, Chang Haiquan, Yan Qingcheng, Yu Renjie, Zhao Shoushan, Wei Ziji, and Di Xiaochuan all concentrated their energy to twist into one force or form a shield to resist, including Lu Zhaoyuan.
The same was true, only Jiang Xiaoyan shouted, and a long sword appeared in front of him, stabbing straight at the meat ball monster.
The speed was very fast, and it hit the snake head bitten by the meat ball monster like lightning, piercing the opponent's mouth. The long neck twisted desperately, and the other eight heads also shook wildly, and the meat ball body fell back.
Tang Mubai could see the whole process clearly outside the dream bubble space.
Mental power!
The long sword that Jiang Xiaoyan transformed was made from the condensation of spiritual power!
This girl has incredible mental strength.
It was not until this moment that Tang Mubai realized how powerful her mental power was.
The spiritual sword can injure the flesh ball monster with a single stroke, forcing the latter to escape.
The dream bubble space is like a water curtain in the eyes of the meat ball monster, and it can pass through easily.
Tang Mubai saw this and immediately activated the "Lingxi Knife".
However, don't wait for him to intercept.
Whoops~!
A fiery red spear suddenly separated the gray illusory space, like a sharp arrow from the string, streaking across the sky, quickly catching up with the meat ball monster and piercing it.
"puff!"
Bang——
The meat ball monster exploded and let out a sharp scream before dying, forming a shock wave that washed away the illusory space centered on the supermarket.
The bubble of Jiang Xiaoyan, Di Xiaochuan and others burst instantly.
Sensing the crisis, Tang Mubai also quickly stopped running the "Heart Sutra of Dreams".
But the second before exiting the illusion, he turned his head and looked at Liu Fusheng behind him, who shot out a fiery red spear!
Liu Fusheng, who was also in the illusion, with a disk spinning above his head, holding a long spear in his hand, and Huang Shengwen, who was wearing an ancient armor, all looked at him strangely when Tang Mubai looked over.
Obviously, they were quite surprised that Tang Mubai could appear in the illusory world.
With the blessing of corresponding treasures, they can "enter dreams" and "break dreams".
What does Tang Mubai rely on?
…
"Huchi~" "Huchi~" "Ah!"
In the supermarket, everyone woke up one after another, gasping or exclaiming.
"It's a dream demon!"
"What Miss Jiang said is true. The murderer this time is indeed a dream demon!"
"It's still a nine-headed dream demon!"
"The nine-headed dream demon can make nine people dream at the same time!"
"Damn it, I didn't expect it to be the dream demon. When did this weird monster enter Muyang City?"
"..."
Everyone was talking a lot.
Tang Mubai listened, and when he exhaled, he wondered, "Isn't the Dream Demon dead? How..."
