"Ah!!" Lili was the first to burst into a loud scream, because... this face was not anyone in their team.
Li Qiang was instantly surrounded by fear, his mind was in a mess, why! ? Didn't Brother Ye say that humanoid monsters only appear during the day! ?
Before he could react, he suddenly felt a pair of soft hands pushing him hard. Caught off guard, Li Qiang fell to the ground.
The owner of those hands ran away like a madman.
Lili knew very well that with her physical strength she could not outrun the humanoid monster, nor could she outrun Li Qiang beside her. If she wanted to survive and not be eaten, she could only let Li Qiang delay time.
Snap!
The white paper lantern in Li Qiang's hand also fell to the ground, and this fall scared him so much that he almost fainted, because the white paper lantern rolled to the feet of the pale white face due to inertia, illuminating the scenery behind him.
People! So many people!
Behind the pale white face, there were rows of people in black. They stood motionless like zombies, filling the dark alley.
"Ah! Ah!! Monster!! Don't eat me!"
Li Qiang's fragile heart suffered a strong shock. He collapsed and got up from the ground, then fell down, got up again, and ran away while rolling and crawling.
Su Mu pushed his brown glasses helplessly. He didn't expect that he had just arrived in the nightmare world and hadn't even seen the nightmare monster yet, but was instead treated as a monster by others.
After he was completely swallowed by the sea of blood in his dream, he came to this village. This broken village didn’t even have any lights. The most important thing was that all his lighting tools were out of order. To be precise, they were not out of order, they still worked, but the light they emitted could not dispel the darkness of this world.
Su Mu turned around and asked his younger brothers, "Do I look like a monster?"
Zhao Chaoyao stared at Li Qiang's back with murderous eyes: "How dare he insult the leader? I'm going to kill him!"
Yang Dongqing said thoughtfully: "It seems that this person should also be a nightmare apostle. He should have entered before us. Maybe he knows some information about this nightmare."
Su Mu waved his hand: "Catch him."
"Yes, Chief!"
Two sturdy men in black jumped out like cheetahs and rushed straight towards Li Qiang.
A few seconds later, the panicked Li Qiang was dragged back by two burly men in black like a dead dog.
"No! Don't eat me! Please don't eat me!" Li Qiang didn't dare to open his eyes at all, and struggled and shouted there.
After struggling for a while, he found that no one was attacking him. He was stunned. He opened his eyes carefully and saw the pale and handsome face from before.
The owner of that face was smiling, and his smile was very gentle and not aggressive at all.
"Sir, are you also a Nightmare Apostle?" Su Mu asked politely.
Li Qiang nodded subconsciously, and suddenly realized something: "You too!?"
"Yes, we are just like you. We are people who have strayed into the nightmare world by mistake. We are not monsters."
"Really?" Li Qiang looked at the crowd of black-clad people in front of him with some doubt: "But why are there so many of you? And you are wearing the same clothes, could it be that... you can come as a group?"
A vein suddenly popped up on Zhao Chaoyao's face. He grabbed Li Qiang by the collar and said fiercely, "You're still forming a tour group? You think you're here for a trip! Just answer our leader's questions honestly. Do you understand?"
"Hey, I've told you so many times, don't be so violent, be polite."
"Yes, chief." Zhao Chaoyao let go of Li Qiang's collar and stepped back behind Su Mu.
Su Mu looked at the panicked Li Qiang with a smile on his face, and even helped him straighten his wrinkled collar: "Don't be nervous, after all, we are not bad people. By the way, what's your name?"
"Li...Li Qiang." Li Qiang said tremblingly. For some reason, he became even more scared.
"Okay Mr. Li Qiang, we are both nightmare apostles, trapped in this horrible dream, shouldn't we help each other? After all, the power of an individual is limited. Only by uniting as one can we overcome the difficulties together, don't you think?"
The eyes behind the brown glasses emitted a barely perceptible light. Under the gaze of these eyes, Li Qiang's frightened heart gradually calmed down.
"You're right, we should help each other." Li Qiang said seriously.
"Mr. Li Qiang is such a nice person. Please tell me the information you know."
As the two were interacting in a friendly manner, Yang Dongqing, who was standing by, saw this scene and felt a chill in his heart. No matter how many times he saw this method of controlling people's hearts, he would feel deep fear and dread.
As Li Qiang told him everything, Su Mu finally understood the current nightmare.
There were ten people in Li Qiang's group, five of whom had died, leaving four men and one woman. They all entered the nightmare world three days ago. Unlike himself and others who entered together, these people entered individually.
Among the remaining people, only a young man named Ye Fanyu is a transcendental person. This is his third time entering the nightmare world, and the rest are ordinary people entering for the first time.
As soon as they came in, they came to a village called Zhaojia Village. At night, the village was empty, but there was a monster called Black Shadow hiding in the darkness. It stretched out its hands to people and pulled them into the darkness. It was said that anyone who was pulled in would surely die.
It is even more dangerous during the day, as the disappeared villagers will appear during the day. To be precise, they are not villagers at all, but monsters in human skin. They are extremely powerful and difficult to kill, and will actively attack humans. Once caught, they will brutally kill and eat humans.
There are over a hundred of these monsters, and it is impossible to deal with them head-on. They can only hide in the houses. The villagers seem to have a natural fear of houses. As long as the doors and windows are closed, they cannot break in. However, these monsters can charm people and will do everything they can to trick people out of the room.
After listening to Li Qiang's description, Su Mu's smile widened: "I'm a little bit looking forward to it."
