Ke Youlong had a perverse smile on his face, but when he saw Wen Xi's beautiful face, he was startled for a moment and was about to lose control and fall onto Wen Xi.
A big hand firmly grasped Ke Youlong's shoulder and pulled him back.
Snap!
Wen Xi and Xiao Shaoyan both clearly heard the sound of bones breaking. They blinked and looked at the tall and strong man in front of them who looked like a bear.
"Ke Youlong, I've told you countless times, this is the Special Management Bureau, not a circus. Don't play around here. You almost got someone else in trouble."
The bear began to speak, his deep voice carrying the authority of a superior.
"Yes, yes, you are right. I was wrong, I was wrong. Can you move your hand away? My bones are about to break!"
Ke Youlong's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he spoke pitifully.
"Oh, sorry. I was worried you might hit the girl, so I lost control of my strength for a moment."
"Hiss... Captain Tie, when did you become so compassionate and considerate to women?"
Ke Youlong rubbed his shoulder, grimacing in pain, and said jokingly.
Tie Ruonan raised an eyebrow and said unhappily, "Do you think all the girls are like you guys, rough and rude?"
"I'm not a rough guy, it's Brother Zhui who is."
Ke Youlong muttered something, and Xin Zhui came out of the fog and slapped him hard on the back of the head.
"Who are you talking bad about behind your back? You just need to be tempered. Ghostly areas have been appearing so frequently lately. Be careful if you get into danger and can't get out. I'm just practicing with you out of kindness!"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. It's my fault! I'll practice with you dozens of times later."
"You just keep talking nonsense."
"Hello, my name is Tie Ruonan, and I'm the captain of the Sixth Division. You must be the Wen Xi that Captain Ling praised so highly."
Tie Ruonan stepped forward, and a sincere smile appeared on the rough man's face.
"Yes, I'm Wen Xi."
Wen Xi blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled warmly.
"Who is this?"
Tie Ruonan glanced at Xiao Shaoyan, and her expression seemed to misunderstand him. "Could it be..."
"My name is Xiao Shaoyan. The Special Management Bureau has arrested me before. Ling Feng should know that I am here to accompany Wen Xi. You can ignore me."
Xiao Shaoyan had a faint expression and didn't seem to intend to talk to them too much.
"Xiao?"
Tie Ruonan looked at him with a scrutinizing expression, then said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you to find Captain Ling."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Wen Xi and Xiao Shaoyan followed Tie Ruonan inside.
"Hey, this kid is as good at pretending as you."
Xin Zhui was whispering with Ke Youlong at the back, and even though his voice was quite loud, they could still hear it.
"Captain Ling, I think he came here specifically to see you about the nightmare."
Tie Ruonan sighed softly, "This matter has troubled us for a few days now. These past few days have felt like years, and people have been dying. If the death toll continues to rise like this, this matter will no longer be covered up, and it will cause panic throughout the city."
"Come, Captain Ling is here."
Tie Ruonan led them into a room where many people in white coats were conducting research with instruments.
"Captain Tie, you're here?"
"Well, Professor Shen, where is Captain Ling? I brought him here for him."
"Captain Ling..."
Professor Shen said in embarrassment, "Captain Tie, I have advised Captain Ling with you before, saying that this technology is not yet mature, but he can't wait and insisted that I help him try it, so now he has already..."
Tie Ruonan's face changed drastically and he pushed open the door of the small room.
There were rows of beds inside, with at least nine people lying on them, including Ling Feng!
"Why is Ling Feng so unwilling to listen? Didn't he call Wen Xi over? Why can't he wait a little longer?"
Tie Ruonan walked to Ling Feng's bed, clenched his fists, and looked at his sleeping face. His beard was untidy and he didn't look handsome at all.
Professor Shen said guiltily, "I told him that there had been a breakthrough, but I needed to find someone to experiment with it to see if it was really possible to enter a dream. I didn't expect him to insist on experimenting himself."
Ling Feng and the others were all restrained by instruments and equipment. Some of them had calm expressions, while others looked terrified.
Beep, beep…
Suddenly, someone's instrument sounded an alarm, and a group of people in white coats ran in and tried to help the other person, but it was useless. In the end, the man's chest heaved violently, and his facial expression was distorted, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world and was scared to death!
drop……
The man's limbs were half-raised, as if he was resisting something, but in the end it was futile.
"Hey, another one's dead. Let's carry him out and let the logistics department arrange how to deal with the aftermath."
Professor Shen waved his hand tiredly, and someone carried the body out.
Xiao Shaoyan frowned, "What on earth is going on? Wasn't he sleeping originally? From what you said, Ling Feng fell asleep. Could it be that he died in his dream?"
Wen Xi patted his shoulder and said, "You're not stupid. That's right, this is a nightmare. There's a ghost behind the nightmare, manipulating it, pulling people into the dream, first frightening them, sucking their fear and negative energy, and then creating the thing they fear the most, scaring them to death."
"If I die in a dream, will I die in reality?"
Xiao Shaoyan was dumbfounded.
"Well, this nightmare ghost can do it. When a person enters a dream, he or she may not think that he or she is dreaming. He or she will think that he or she is really dead. If the consciousness is dead, can the person still be alive?"
Wen Xi's eyes, which could see through people's hearts, swept over him, and Xiao Shaoyan felt a little cold.
"Yes, Wen Xi is right. There is indeed such a nightmare ghost. We haven't caught him yet, which is why we are in such a stalemate."
Tie Ruonan rubbed his eyebrows, his face filled with fatigue and sadness.
“Where were these people found?”
"It's in an old residential complex, and these are the residents and tenants there."
"Yes, we were the ones who brought them back. That neighborhood was about to be demolished, and not many people lived there. They noticed the stench of a corpse and called the police. The autopsy showed they died of fright, with no other symptoms! The police then contacted the Special Management Bureau, and we discovered something was amiss with the magnetic field there. While searching the neighborhood, we had a direct encounter with the nightmare ghost, but he escaped."
The frivolous look on Ke Youlong's face was gone. His expression was very serious, and there was a hint of disgust towards the nightmare ghost in his eyes.
Wen Xi asked, "Are you wearing a cloak?"
Ke Youlong asked in surprise, "How do you know he's wearing a cloak? Could it be that you've seen it too?"
