The first thing to do if you want to complete the beauty mission is to go to the City Lord’s Mansion to meet the City Lord.
The task board at the city gate clearly states that only after meeting the city lord and being watched by him will one be dragged into his terrifying dream at night.
Wu Xiangwang didn't know what the lord of the City of Fear looked like. He guessed that he might be a strange person with an especially big head or belly.
But when he actually arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and met the Lord of Fear of this city, he still felt that his vision was too narrow—
The Lord of Terror in this city doesn't look like a human at all. He looks like a big sea urchin with black spines that have become soft.
Or rather, it was a black coal ball covered with tiny smoke-like tentacles.
When Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan were led before the Lord of Fear by the only elf in the City Lord's Mansion, Wu Xiangwang carefully observed the black coal ball with tentacles as big as a yoga ball rolling on the ground, but for most of the time he couldn't find where the eyes of the black coal ball were.
Wu Xiangwang: “…” Doesn’t it mean that you can only enter the city lord’s dream if you are watched by the city lord?
How can he watch if the city lord has no eyes?
Rely on intuition?
The atmosphere in the hall became too quiet.
Just when Wu Xiangwang thought that this silence would last for a long time, the black coal ball with tentacles rolling around suddenly stopped.
Then, the ball cracked.
Don't forget each other: "Hiss."
After the tentacle black ball stopped, three cracks appeared on the ball, one on the top and two on the bottom, which looked like two eyes and a mouth.
But the location doesn't seem right.
Then Wu Xiangwang saw that the crack above, which should be the mouth, suddenly widened, and a scarlet light flashed from the crack. He instantly felt as if he was being watched.
This feeling was a little subtle, but the golden photo in his sea of consciousness vibrated and emitted a faint light, as if reminding and guarding against something.
"Hehehe, you brave humans can leave now. Tonight, fear will drag you into your dreams."
Wu Xiangwang saw that the one speaking was the two cracks under the big black ball of the tentacle. After a pause, his expression became a little fantastical.
So the crack above the Lord of Fear is the eye, and the two cracks below are the mouth.
Fortunately, this Lord of Fear did not evolve into a human form, otherwise he would have one eye and two mouths on his face. The picture would be shocking just to imagine.
Wu Xiangwang glanced at Lin Yuan, receiving his unnoticed smile in response. Feeling somewhat relieved, he turned to the Lord of Fear and nodded, "Then... Lord, shall we leave?"
The big black tentacle ball began to roll on the ground again, and it seemed that he could no longer hear Wu Xiangwang's voice.
Wu Xiangwang didn't care and turned around to walk out of the hall with Lin Yuan, but when they reached the door of the hall, the voice of the Lord of Fear rang out again.
"Human, you smell like a contract and a wanted poster. And something weird."
"I heard there's a troublemaker among the human adventurers. Is that you?"
Wu Xiangwang paused in his tracks, then answered with a mixture of grievance, confusion, and complete sincerity in his voice, "How could it be me?! I'm the type who hates trouble. I'd rather lie down than sit, and I'd rather sit than stand. I'll never split a task into two parts to complete what I can accomplish in one go."
I don't proactively accept any notifications, I don't proactively look for trouble, I'm the easiest and most hassle-free person. The human you're talking about is definitely not me!"
The tentacle-like black ball rolled around on the floor again, and He chuckled, "Oh, whether it's you or not, you better be careful when you dream tonight."
"My dreams are full of messed-up, disgusting, dark things. There's only fear, no other emotions. It's so boring. If you can change my dreams and make me feel good, I can grant you a pardon and release you from the wanted list."
"Well, it seems that the Bloody Wanted Warrant cannot be pardoned, but the wanted warrant on your companion can be downgraded."
Wu Xiangwang stopped and turned around. He looked at the scary soft sea urchin ball that was rolling around and didn't seem to be very powerful, and frowned slightly.
Did the Lord of Fear hear their conversation, or sense his emotions or thoughts?
Wu Xiangwang pursed his lips and turned around.
You will know how weird this is when you dream at night.
When Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan left the City Lord's Mansion, Shang Chong and others who were waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're finally back. Did you see what the Lord of Fear looks like? Does he look terrifying? Or fierce and cruel?"
Wu Xiangwang thought of the black ball, and his expression became a little tangled. "If I had to describe it, it would probably be that when it's not talking, it looks okay."
When I speak, my mouth and eyes crack and I feel like it hurts my brain and eyes.
Shang Chong: "? What do you mean by 'okay'? Why does your expression look a little off?"
"Also, are you sure you want to enter the dream alone tonight? Actually, I think it would be better if we all enter the dream together. There's strength in numbers, right? I've seen Inception, too. Wouldn't it be better to have more people to change the dream environment?"
Wu Xiangwang shook his head: "It is still uncertain how powerful the dream of the Lord of Fear is, and I don't know what the fears in his dreams are.
But I always feel that dreams are related to spiritual will. If someone with weak spiritual strength is pulled into the dream of the Lord of Fear, they may become very passive. "
"Don't worry, this mission doesn't say it must be completed overnight. I'm just going there tonight to test the waters. If Lin Yuan and I fail to change His dream tonight, and I need your help later, I will definitely bring you in."
"Lin Yuan and I will go to bed on time at 9 o'clock tonight. You can stay by our side and kill some seafood or plant-based fear creatures to upgrade yourself and increase your energy."
"And see if I can find some weirdos to trade with and complete the merchant's mission. Anyway, don't think about weird things, control your mind and suppress your fear, and train yourself."
Shang Chong and Wang Xiao nodded.
Liusha whispered beside him, "I can also try to control myself."
Wu Xingyun held his mushroom, his eyes full of anticipation: "I want to awaken a new mushroom tonight!"
Wu Xiangwang chuckled in his heart and thought, even if you awaken a new mushroom, it will definitely not be a real mushroom.
At exactly nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan lay quietly on the big bed in the master bedroom of the snail shell cottage, waiting for sleep.
When the snail shell hut appeared, Ouyang Nanbei and the adventurers from the other four teams all had eyes shining with envy.
At most, they just have a larger portable space, but how comfortable is a large house with its own furniture and defenses?
Wu Xiangwang lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and opened them again after ten minutes.
"I can't sleep. It's been ten minutes. Why hasn't the Lord of Dread pulled me into His dream yet?"
Lin Yuan's voice rang out nearby, and upon closer inspection, it was accompanied by a smile: "Maybe you're too excited to fall asleep... So Xiangxiang, do you need me to do something nice to help you burn off some energy?"
"Nine o'clock is too early to go to bed. We can just exercise for a few hours and then go to bed at twelve o'clock."
When Wu Xiangwang heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he almost kicked Lin Yuan next to him off the bed.
"What good things are you still thinking about at this time?!"
Lin Yuan turned over and his handsome face turned towards Wu Xiangwang: "Why can't I think? At this time, in this scene, in this place, as long as you are by my side, I can always think of something beautiful."
The gentle breath in the darkness blew against Wu Xiangwang's ears, causing him to feel a little hot uncontrollably.
This time he really kicked forward, but a hand firmly grasped his calf, and the feeling of the fingertips rubbing against his leg made his whole body tremble.
"Fuck! What's the point of you dreaming about beautiful things here? If you have the guts, go into that black ball monster's dream and think about these things!"
"If you can turn his dream from a dream of fear into a dream of pleasure, I will be convinced by you."
Lin Yuan, who originally had a happy smile on his face, suddenly twitched his lips. He couldn't help but think about the scene that turned the dream of fear into a head full of erotic dreams, and he suddenly felt a little unwell.
At this moment, Wu Xiangwang suddenly felt dizzy, and then his entire brain was sending out signals that he was very tired and needed to sleep and rest.
He immediately retracted his kicked leg, "Here it comes! Close your eyes and get ready!"
Then, the moment he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
When Wu Xiangwang opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in complete darkness, unable to see his surroundings.
He could clearly realize that this was the dream of the Lord of Fear, and he knew he was dreaming. However, this dream felt very real, at least all five of his senses were present.
He tried to take a step forward and heard the sound of footsteps.
The surrounding environment has not changed and is still dark. In the absolute darkness, I am alone and there is only one voice. It seems to be an unspeakable horror.
Wu Xiangwang: "Is it that simple?"
He began to walk forward step by step in one direction.
With every step he took forward, the echo in the darkness became louder and heavier. After he had walked alone in the darkness for five minutes, it seemed as if footsteps were coming from all directions. He was clearly the only one in this dark world, but the various footsteps made him feel as if there were countless "people" around him.
Don't forget each other, don't be moved, and keep moving forward.
Then, when he took his first step five minutes later, in addition to the sound of footsteps, he also felt the flowing wind.
The wind that passed by him was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes near, sometimes far away, with no regular pattern at first, but as he continued to move forward, it seemed as if all the winds were rushing towards him.
When another gust of wind hit Wu Xiangwang's face, he suddenly dodged to the side.
With this action as a signal, all of a sudden, in this training space filled with the sounds of footsteps and wind, various shrill laughs that made one's scalp tingle suddenly rang out.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha——”
"Hehehehehe! Here it comes!"
"Hehehehehehehe!"
“Huff, huff, huff…Huff, huff, huff…”
The sound pierced Wu Xiangwang's head, and then there was a gust of wind blowing in his face. He pressed his head and barely dodged to the side, and then the whole world lit up -
Wu Xiangwang raised his eyes and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He was in a huge glass cage. Outside the cage were all kinds of horrors and weirdnesses that he had seen and hadn't seen before, while inside the cage were dozens of identical versions of himself.
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Fortunately, Shang Chong and the others were not allowed in, otherwise such a scene would be enough to make a mentally unstable person extremely frightened, and they might even be scared to death in their dreams.
"Hehehehehehehehehe! Who survives first?"
"Hahahaha, here comes another brave guy."
"How will he die? He doesn't even look scared."
Wu Xiangwang listened to the shrill laughter and harassment of the mental beings outside the glass cage that gave him a headache, and looked at himself in the glass cage who had stopped and were looking at him. He was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to do.
"Boy! Aren't you here to change dreams? Come on! Hahaha! Hurry up and make some changes! Look at this world! It's full of fear!"
With this loud roar, Wu Xiangwang was actually able to see into the distance through the glass cage. The entire sky and the earth were distorted and spinning, screaming, and between the sky and the earth were countless humans running, crying and holding their heads, as well as the weirdness of killing.
At this time, the other "Wu Xiangwang" in the cage began to be affected by the weirdness and world outside. They all showed a look of horror on their faces and began to hold their heads and scream.
Their levels of fear varied, and their screams and cries were different. Looking at so many people with terrified expressions, even Wu Xiangwang, with his strong spirit and broad mind, was somewhat affected.
He began to feel irritated, and then he actually felt a kind of fear that he couldn't escape.
"grass."
When he began to waver, the terrified himself all turned and walked towards him.
Each of them repeated the cry:
"How horrible! How horrible!"
"Ooooooh, that's so scary!"
When the person closest to Wu Xiangwang walked over and wanted to hug Wu Xiangwang, Wu Xiangwang closed his eyes first and then suddenly opened them.
"Horrible ass!! Don't you think you look even uglier now?!"
All the horrified “don’t forget each other”: “Ugly?!”
Wu Xiangwang sneered, "How can it not be ugly to yell and scream with snot and tears all over your face? It's so ugly!"
Don’t forget each other: “!!”
Wu Xiangwang suddenly pulled out a large mirror from the side: "If you are an immortal man, look in the mirror with me!"
"Come on! Immortal Man Smile!!"
Wu Xiangwang and his companions were stunned for a moment, then looked at the large mirror that appeared out of thin air and subconsciously stood up straight, then followed Wu Xiangwang and smiled!
The weird people watching: "????"
You guys can still laugh at a time like this?! And isn't it weird that you two have identical faces smiling together?!
