Chapter 344 Warning
"Great... Li Muhan, you... you noticed my presence..."
There was a hint of relief in Mengmeng's voice, but her body looked exhausted, as if she had just experienced a difficult battle and was shaky.
"Her power... is truly formidable. I... I cannot directly interfere with her dreams. I can only use this method to contact you... and bring you out."
Li Muhan could feel the helplessness and tenacity in Mengmeng's words. She had obviously made great efforts to save him.
Looking around, Li Muhan found himself back in the magnificent palace transformed by the nightmare demon. The surrounding stone pillars and domes were still carved with distorted illusions, which made people shudder.
He gently patted Mengmeng's shoulder and encouraged her: "You came just in time. Although that nightmare monster can't hurt me, I can't escape from here immediately. If I continue to fight her, I will be disgusted to death by her snakes sooner or later."
"Eh? Snakes... aren't snakes cute? Why are they so disgusting..."
Meng Meng's sudden question made Li Muhan awkward. He suddenly remembered that when he first fought Meng Meng, she was also controlling a giant snake. Could it be...
Do these nightmare monsters really have a special liking for snakes?
At that moment, in the distant darkness, the Nightmare Demon's voice was like a venomous snake, full of sarcasm. "I haven't seen any of my kind in all these years, especially one as weak as you. Tell me, in all these years, have you never tried to devour the dreams of humans? To the point where you've become so weak."
The voice revealed not only surprise, but also contempt for the weak.
Mengmeng was obviously a little scared when facing the nightmare monster. Her body was shaking and she couldn't speak. Li Muhan raised his hands to protect her behind him.
"Do you think everyone else is like you?"
"Little brother... I have made great contributions to the stability of human society. My existence is indispensable to your Special Management Bureau... Today has truly opened my eyes. You are the first alien to walk out of my dream, and you... my compatriot, you are truly the weakest nightmare I have ever seen."
Meng Meng huddled behind Li Muhan, trembling as she spoke, "I, we...we can bring sweet dreams to others...why do we have to make them suffer...I, I'm living a good life now, I can help others...I, I can still walk under the blue sky...I...I know you...you have a deal with the Special Management Bureau...but, you're also hurting others at the same time, so...I'm different from you!"
"What a coward..." The Nightmare Demon narrowed his eyes slightly in the darkness.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, are you going to fight or not?"
The flame on Li Muhan's sword ignited again. Having been deceived once, he would never be caught in the nightmare demon's dream a second time.
"Then I will let you two children see... just how terrifying the nightmare demon's dreams are."
Just as the two sides were about to clash again, Meng Meng suddenly shouted at the Nightmare Demon: "Wait! Wait a minute!"
Both Nightmare Demon and Li Muhan were stunned for a moment, and then Li Muhan turned to look at Mengmeng and asked, "What's wrong?"
Meng Meng timidly took out her cell phone and said to the nightmare monster: "...Hey, um...someone is looking for you..."
“......?”
The Nightmare Demon was just about to expand her power again, but now it seemed as if it was stopped, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
"My fellow tribesmen, don't you know what the situation is now?"
Facing the Nightmare Demon's questioning, Meng Meng mustered up the courage to say, "I...I know! But, but...you, if you don't answer this call, you will definitely regret it!"
Although Mengmeng's power was too weak compared to the Nightmare Demon, the Nightmare Demon was a little surprised that she dared to speak to her like this because she was so weak. Then she slowly transformed into a human form, walked out of the darkness, and sat back on the half-collapsed throne. With a wave of her hand, a new pipe appeared in her hand.
"Bring it here."
She spoke condescendingly to Mengmeng.
Li Muhan also dispersed his half-dragon form, took the phone from Meng Meng's hand, and walked up the stairs: "You are quite arrogant, I have to give it to you."
The Nightmare Demon ignored Li Muhan and picked up the phone.
"Excuse me, who are you and what can I do for you?"
I am Lin Ze, Deputy Director of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
When Lin Ze gave her name, the woman's expression stiffened. She slowly put away her pipe and sat up straight. "... Director Lin, you... uh, this... this little nightmare demon is yours?"
[Yes, and the demon you just fought is also mine.]
"Isn't he... from the Pingjing City Special Management Bureau?"
[He was on a business trip to Pingjing City. I don't know how he got involved with you. I don't know the details either. What? Haven't you had enough?]
"...This is a misunderstanding..."
"Since there are no casualties, then stop immediately. Shimotsuki, if you still want the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce to continue operating, don't seek death."
Lin Ze's threat caused a trace of sweat to seep onto the woman's forehead, but this was her territory after all. She forced a smile and said, "... Director Lin, we've always kept to ourselves. The Yunyin Chamber of Commerce branch in Tianhai City has never done anything out of line, let alone caused you any trouble. Now your people are causing trouble on my territory... It's not appropriate for you to speak to me like this."
[Inappropriate? You're right. My little friend has caused you trouble. Okay, I'll have someone pick him up and apologize to you at the same time.]
"Apologize...ah...who do you want to ask?"
[The one who brought him on this business trip is our director Chang Yue. I'll let him know and ask him to come pick him up. Please wait a moment.]
Fuck you.
The woman cursed in her heart, this is too much bullying! ?
But she immediately softened her tone, saying, "...Director Lin, that's not what I meant... Look, there's nothing wrong between us, so why would you bother Director Chang to come here in person... I had a very pleasant conversation with this kid, he's a very nice guy, and he enjoys helping others."
The woman glared at Li Muhan fiercely as she spoke, and Li Muhan of course also heard what Lin Ze said on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Our deputy director really cares about me so much, he cares about me even more than his own mother.
"Okay, Director Lin, don't worry, I will definitely listen to your instructions..."
"That's fine. If you're alright, that's fine. I have a meeting later."
"Director Lin, I'll come to Tianhai City to wish you a happy new year someday. You..."
Beep beep beep——
The woman returned the phone to Li Muhan with a look of resentment on her face. She even looked at Xingli, who was already dumbfounded in the corner, and said sarcastically, "Oh... So Miss Xingli invited the prince of Tianhai City. You are really generous."
