On a foggy street, the crew of "M Country Pie" suddenly appeared at the same time.
Because they were close enough, they could still see each other, but further away, it was all fog and they couldn't see anything.
What's going on?
Where is this?
"We're asleep, is this a dream?"
"How strange, why are we so sure this is a dream?"
"It's incredible that we would dream about each other at the same time."
"Was it Cao Kun? Was he the one who put us to sleep?"
"He can make us fall asleep at the same time, that's amazing!"
A group of people started discussing it animatedly.
Just then, a voice singing a nursery rhyme came from the mist.
"1, 2, Freddy will come to you."
"3, 4, lock your door."
"5, 6, cover your face."
"7, 8, breathing will stop."
"9, 10, you will always suffer from insomnia."
The voice, tinged with mockery and hoarse, carried an inherent sense of dread within the atmosphere.
"Oh no, it's that assassin from my dreams."
"Oh no, wake up, wake up..."
"It's over, we've been killed by that Cao Kun. Why did he make us fall asleep?"
Everyone already knew that the guy singing the nursery rhyme was the one who wanted to kill them, or rather, the ghost.
They desperately tried to wake up, but they couldn't.
"Why won't you wake up? Wake up!"
Many women were so distressed that they cried, and some men were also yelling and shouting angrily.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the mist.
He was wearing a striped t-shirt and a top hat, his face was a horrific burn mark, and his ten fingers held ten sharp blades that gleamed coldly.
The blade looked extremely sharp, as if it could easily penetrate and cleave through anything in the world.
"ah……"
Upon seeing this figure appear, a chorus of frantic screams erupted, and some people were so frightened that they sat down on the ground, their legs trembling and unable to stand up.
Some people were a bit bolder and turned around and ran into the fog.
But no one dared to resist or fight against this figure.
In horror movies, we often see killers chasing down characters in the film.
The character dares not resist, only desperately trying to escape. Sometimes, by luck, he takes down the assassin, but he continues to run and never finishes him off.
This is partly due to the brainless screenwriter deliberately making things difficult, but it's also because ordinary people simply don't have the courage to face a killer.
Ordinary people simply don't have the courage to fight each other, let alone the fact that those chasing them aren't even human.
"Hahaha……"
Freddy grinned at their reactions, as if he were a starving ghost seeing food.
Freddy's hands gleamed coldly as he calmly approached the group.
He wasn't afraid of these people running away; as long as they were still in the dream, they couldn't escape.
He wasn't afraid of these people waking up. As long as people are asleep, they need to sleep, and as long as they are asleep, he can kill them.
If we can't kill it today, there's always tomorrow.
Freddy preferred to kill slowly, one by one.
Freddy walked up to a woman whose legs were weak and who was slumped on the ground.
This woman is Allison, the female lead in "M Country Pie". When she saw Freddy approaching, she tried to get up and run away, but her legs wouldn't obey her and she couldn't stand up no matter what she did.
She could only back away by supporting herself with her hands, but that was far too slow.
Freddy stepped closer to her, grinning, and said, "Honey, I've found you."
As he spoke, he raised his arm, ready to strike.
Just then, a force suddenly descended, landing on Freddy and freezing him in place.
His hand just wouldn't come down.
His feet couldn't move backward either.
Except for his face, which could move, everything else seemed to have been disconnected from him in an instant.
"The power of dreams?" Freddy's eyes widened, his ugly face filled with disbelief. "How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible?"
A figure slowly emerged from the mist, calmly asking, "Is there a rule that only you in this world can use the power of dreams?"
"Master Cao Kun!"
Upon seeing the figure emerge, many people exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with ecstatic joy.
The person who couldn't get up just now suddenly had the strength and instantly got up from the ground, hiding behind Cao Kun.
Cao Kun ignored them and walked straight up to Freddy.
Freddy's smile vanished, replaced by terror: "Who are you?"
Cao Kun: "That's not important."
Freddy: "You ambushed me just now, I don't accept that."
Cao Kun: "Whether you submit or not is none of my business. Do you think I'm stupid enough to let you go and have a fair fight with me?"
Even so, you still wouldn't be able to fight back, but I couldn't bring myself to do something so brainless.
Cao Kun reached out and grabbed Freddy's shoulder.
"What are you going to do?" Freddy was terrified and tried to dodge, but he couldn't move his body and there was no way he could escape.
Knight had just closed his mouth when he saw a blur before his eyes, and a terrifying figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.
This man's face was covered in burn scars, and his body was filled with a sinister aura. Anyone who was looked at by him would probably have nightmares for a long time.
But now, the figure's face was filled with fear.
The moment it appeared, it vanished in a flash.
But the next instant, his figure, which had just disappeared, reappeared, frozen in place, motionless.
With a flick of his wrist, the Myriad Souls Banner appeared in Cao Kun's hand.
"Please spare me, have mercy on me."
Freddy begged for mercy in desperation.
He had never felt so powerless.
He was completely powerless against this man and couldn't even run away.
Just like those who see him in their dreams.
"I originally wanted to eat you, but you're too disgusting, so you're getting off easy."
Cao Kun seemed not to hear Freddy's pleas for mercy. As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner touched Freddy, Freddy's body involuntarily sank into it, causing the runes on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to light up once again.
"Ding! Killed a C-rank ghost, gained 1,000,000 experience points."
A corresponding prompt immediately appeared in Cao Kun's mind.
"He really is on the same level as Jason, with the same experience points."
Cao Kun muttered something to himself, put away the Myriad Soul Banner, and turned to look at Knight: "You can pay now."
"this……"
Knight looked shocked and bewildered: "That was the monster that was chasing us, wasn't it?"
He had heard from those who had survived death describe the appearance of the ghost, and it was exactly the same as what he had just seen.
Cao Kun: "Not bad."
"He...he's dead?" Knight asked again.
Cao Kun: "You don't believe me?"
“No,” Knight quickly replied. “I just think it’s incredible.”
Just now, Cao Kun asked him to get the check, but his hand was still in his pocket and he hadn't even taken the check out yet when the monster that had been chasing them for so long was taken care of.
That's way too fast!
He would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"So?" Cao Kun asked.
“No, that’s all.” Knight quickly took out the check and handed it to Cao Kun with both hands.
