Upon hearing this, some folk spirit masters suddenly realized what was happening, and their gazes toward Fang Xiu changed frequently.
So that's why he had people sing.
No wonder Yang Ming asked him how to proceed; it seems this person should be a strategist within the Investigation Bureau.
"Remember, you must wear embroidered shoes and run at full speed, because the longer it drags on, the stronger the nightmare will become. Before the city is completely overrun, seize the opportunity to weaken the nightmare's power."
“No problem.” Yang Ming nodded, then his expression suddenly stiffened as he asked, “How did you know I had the embroidered shoe artifact?”
Fang Xiu glanced at Yang Ming indifferently and said calmly, "I sensed it."
Remember, you absolutely must wear your embroidered shoes. Every second counts. If you're too embarrassed, you can put them on after you leave the investigation bureau.
Yang Ming: "......."
He suddenly felt that he had gained another handle that Fang Xiu had in his hands.
No, it's not exactly leverage, because everyone already knows, so it's a bit of a social problem!
In fact, Yang Ming was overthinking it. At this critical moment, no one paid any attention to his embroidered shoes.
Furthermore, even if people were to pay attention, they would only envy him for possessing such a powerful magical weapon, not mock him.
Wang Dehai immediately instructed, "I authorize Fang Xiu as the temporary captain, with decision-making authority."
There was little objection from the crowd.
Clearly, Fang Xiu's displayed strength and action plan have been well received by everyone.
At this moment, Wang Dehai asked again, "Fang Xiu, have you sensed Bai Qi's whereabouts?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "No, but I guess if Bai Qi is not dead, he is most likely in Putuo Temple. With his strength, ordinary strange things cannot trap him at all, so it is only possible that Nightmare took action himself."
After saying that, Fang Xiu stopped talking and led everyone to set off.
The group left the investigation bureau and arrived at the parking lot.
"Five people per car, try to minimize the number of targets. Zhao Hao, Fatty, Shen Lingxue, Cheng Xinyuan, you and I will share a car."
Cheng Xinyuan, who was called out, was slightly taken aback, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He was obviously surprised that Fang Xiu had called him out.
Cheng Xinyuan was the same hunched and thin man with the ability of strength.
His physique alone reveals why he awakened the power.
Just like Zhao Hao awakening his sexual ability, people usually crave what they lack most.
At this crucial time, no one objected to Fang Xiu's arrangements.
Fang Xiu had his reasons for arranging for these people to ride in the same car with him.
Let's not even mention Zhao Hao; the fear the nightmare instills in him might have a surprising effect.
Since being disciplined, Shen Lingxue has become a completely different person. She is silent and obedient. Moreover, after the Blackwater Village incident, her strength has increased, and her fire ability is very suitable for clearing the field.
As for Fatty and Cheng Xinyuan, he has other uses for them.
Then everyone got into the car and drove out.
Green Vine City had completely changed. Thick fog enveloped all the roads and buildings, making only their outlines visible, resembling a scene from a horror movie and adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Deep within those misty clouds, human figures could be faintly seen moving about, and from time to time, two inhuman roars could be heard.
"Brother Xiu, I feel like I've been transported into a horror movie. Do you think we can successfully resolve the nightmare incident this time?" Zhao Hao asked with some worry.
"Whether it works or not depends on you."
Zhao Hao was taken aback: "Look at me? Brother Xiu, don't be ridiculous. Even if it's 11 o'clock, I feel like I'd have a hard time beating Nightmare. I couldn't even beat the B-rank Nightmare last time, let alone the S-rank Nightmare."
Fang Xiu shook his head: "I didn't ask you to do it."
Zhao Hao was increasingly confused; "Why not use your hands?"
"Just like the things you did in your dream last time."
Zhao Hao blushed immediately: "Brother Xiu, at a time like this, please stop joking."
“I’m not joking. Haven’t you noticed that the Nightmare has never pulled you into the dream? The reason you’re in the dream now is because the Nightmare’s eerie domain has enveloped the entire Green Vine City.”
Otherwise, you might not be pulled into the dream by the nightmare at all.
Why is that?
"If nightmares are everyone's nightmares, then you are the nightmare of nightmares."
"Holy crap, Ritian, when did you become so awesome?" Fatty Liu Shuai exclaimed.
Zhao Hao gave an awkward smile and offered no explanation.
"Cheng Xinyuan, take out the things." Fang Xiu suddenly said to Cheng Xinyuan.
Cheng Xinyuan was taken aback at first, then a look of confusion flashed across his face.
"Things? What things?"
"You think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your clothes, Manager Cheng?"
Cheng Xinyuan became increasingly puzzled: "Captain Fang, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Was my hint not clear enough? Killed the branch manager, Manager Cheng?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinyuan's confused and doubtful expression vanished instantly, and he looked at Fang Xiu with a serious and wary expression, asking, "How did you recognize me?"
"You forgot, my ability is perception. Although you deliberately hunched over and made yourself look slovenly, completely different from the elite people you were before, you couldn't hide it from my perception."
Cheng Xinyuan smiled and said, "Such strong perception ability. No wonder Wang Dehai and Yang Ming trust you so much."
The reason Fang Xiu saw through Cheng Xinyuan's disguise was because he went on a killing spree in the conference room for the first time.
When Fa Gui attacked Cheng Xinyuan, Cheng Xinyuan took out a bronze candlestick to defend himself in order to save his life.
"Since you admit it, then hand over my bronze candlestick."
Cheng Xinyuan's expression was somewhat unpleasant. To be honest, he didn't want to hand it over, because in the Nightmare Realm, the bronze candlestick was definitely a life-saving artifact.
Handing over the bronze candlestick now means losing any hope of survival.
But if we don't hand it over, it would be tantamount to making Fang Xiu our enemy.
Others may not understand Fang Xiu, but how could he not understand him? Fang Xiu is a complete madman. He slaughtered the entire Bright Club. How could he be a match for him?
After a moment's thought, Cheng Xinyuan finally decided to hand over the bronze candlestick.
He knew very well that now was not the time for internal strife. He only took the bronze candlestick to save his life, but once Fang Xiuzhen could solve the nightmare, the bronze candlestick would no longer be needed.
Of course, the key is that Fang Xiu is strong and ruthless enough.
Cheng Xinyuan dared not make an enemy of him.
"Fatty, you take the bronze candlestick." Fang Xiu tossed the bronze candlestick to Fatty.
When the fat man saw this thing, his first reaction was not joy, but cold sweat pouring down his face.
"Again...again I have to bleed? I haven't even recovered from the blood I lost last time, I've already lost two pounds, can't you find someone else?"
"cannot."
The fat man finally understood why Fang Xiu had asked him to get on the bus. At first, he was quite happy, thinking that Fang Xiu was sentimental, after all, they had been through life and death together.
Now it seems, haha... this was clearly because he thought he had the most health among everyone.
