Chapter 188 Give money
"Okay, okay." Liang Xin agreed without asking why she wanted to go to Xiao Yuan's house.
After Xu Bai went to see a few paintings, he determined that the scene where they entered the dream was based on oil paintings.
The oil painting seems to be a door, and a person's soul will accidentally enter it while sleeping, and then be captured by the dream demon.
Through these clues, Xu Bai can only infer part of the content. As for the specific situation, we need to look at it again.
When he finally parted with Liang Xin, Xu Bai said to Liang Xin: "Don't call Mei Chan tonight. She can't be of much help. Just call me."
Liang Xin was a little confused after hearing this, blinked slightly, and then nodded with some understanding.
Xu Bai felt that ordinary people should stay as far away from these supernatural beings as possible. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. People with abilities have no choice. If you don't look for the supernatural beings, the supernatural beings will come to you on their own.
Therefore, it is best to keep Mei Chan away.
While having dinner, I heard Mei Chan's mother say that the cats in the village seemed to be crazy. They were running around in groups and wouldn't go home to beg for food. I didn't know what was going on.
Xu Bai worked silently, but felt helpless towards Da Fei in his heart: What on earth is Da Fei doing? Is he going to become the boss among the cats?
**
Sure enough, at night, when Xu Bai was wandering around the lake, he heard Liang Xin shouting again: "Sister Xu Bai, come out quickly, let's go to the town to play!"
When Xu Bai heard the sound, he woke up with a start and looked at Mei Chan who was sleeping beside him. He had no intention of falling asleep. It seemed that Liang Xin had understood her words during the day.
When I walked out of the door, it was still raining lightly outside. I took a breath, and the moist and fresh air entered my lungs.
This dream is so real.
Xu Bai refused the fruit knife handed over by Liang Xin, put on his raincoat and followed her out.
There are all kinds of weird things along the way, but many of them are things that only appear in nightmares.
I don’t know how long they walked, maybe a few minutes, maybe a few seconds. The concept of time in the dream was different from the reality, and they appeared in the town again.
The town at this time was different from yesterday. There were people in the originally empty market, not just one or two, but many.
These people gathered in the market, some selling things, some buying things, coming and going, it was very lively, completely different from yesterday's gloomy and terrifying scene with corpses hanging.
Crowds of people were rushing around.
It looks like a noisy market.
The people in these markets looked normal, there was nothing weird about them, and the crowds passed by them without attacking them.
Xu Bai thought of what Cheng Ranmo said about the need to find the true form of the dream demon and kill all his puppets. It seemed that this matter was not that easy.
Just when she thought of Cheng Ranmo, she vaguely heard a familiar voice.
That voice seemed to belong to Cheng Ranmo.
"Boss, come and take a look. Today's pork is the freshest, the best and the cheapest."
Xu Bai looked around, but there was no one in front of the pork stall.
No? What the hell?
Could this dream demon be able to sense people's thoughts and project them into dreams?
Unexpectedly, she could dream about Cheng Ranmo.
But when I think of Cheng Ranmo selling pork, this scene...
Hmm! That’s a handsome butcher too!
"Don't leave, I'm going to kill you." Liang Xin's voice came from behind, with a sick smile.
She seemed to have found something, and rushed towards the crowd with a fruit knife.
"Don't go." Xu Bai shouted.
But it failed to stop Liang Xin's actions. She was so decisive that she barely hesitated. By the time Xu Bai came to his senses, she had disappeared into the crowd.
Xu Bai looked at the direction in which Liang Xin disappeared and considered whether to chase after him.
Perhaps Liang Xin, who is naturally stupid and has intermittent forgetfulness, is less likely to be targeted by ghosts, because no one knows what she will do in the next second.
However, Xu Bai was not sure, and the uneasiness in his heart was getting worse.
This was the first time she faced an evil spirit alone. She had teammates by her side before, so she felt confident.
"No matter, Liang Xin is not afraid of a little girl, so what should I be afraid of?" Xu Bai encouraged himself in his heart.
At this time, the fish in the sky began to get bigger. Before, it was only sparse rain, but now it has turned into light rain. The surrounding environment began to become dark and gloomy.
Even though he was wearing a raincoat, Xu Bai still felt wet all over and felt very uncomfortable.
Because of the heavy rain, there were fewer people in the market, but there were still many, just not as dense.
"We still have to find Liang Xin." Xu Bai took a deep breath, absorbing the moist air into his belly, and felt a lot more energetic.
This is no longer like a dream, it is simply a real world, even the touch is the same.
After identifying the direction in which Liang Xin disappeared, Xu Bai chased after her.
Liang Xin was much more familiar with this dream than she was.
She avoided the passers-by around her and was also looking for traces of Liang Xin.
She went deep into the market, and there were many vendors around her. As she was walking, Xu Bai's hand was grabbed by someone, and at some point she held a pair of scissors in her hand.
"You haven't given me the money yet." When Xu Bai looked at the palm holding his wrist, he felt a chill all over his body. It was an old man's palm full of wrinkles, and it was covered with corpse spots.
"You haven't given me the money yet." An old man wearing a hat and sitting on a stool grabbed Xu Bai's hand and repeated it again.
"I don't want your things, let go, and I'll give them back to you." Xu Bai grabbed the scissors with all his strength, imitated Liang Xin's movements, and stabbed them through.
The scissors only penetrated the opponent's chest by about one centimeter. The opponent blocked Xu Bai's hand with force and failed to penetrate the old man's heart.
The old man neither screamed nor cried out in pain, but suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Bai. Under the hat, he saw an old face that was pale and gray, and his eyes were hollow and numb.
Xu Bai used all his strength to break free from the old man's hand, condensed a spiritual sword with his other hand, and stabbed the old man with all his strength.
The old man failed to escape this time and fell to the ground.
The moment the old man fell to the ground, the expression of a man in short-sleeved clothes next to him gradually became numb, and he said: "If you don't pay, you still kill people, then you have to pay for it here."
Xu Bai was stunned. In this case, even with so many people here, they would not be able to kill them all. Who knows how many innocent people there are here.
