Chapter 78 The Third Item: Copper Coin Dream Catcher
The danger has not been resolved yet, and Bian Ling feels that now is not the time to quarrel.
"Let's think about how to survive tonight first!"
The man with glasses knew he was in the wrong and fell silent instantly.
Chen Li opened the window on the second floor and looked outside. After making sure it was temporarily safe outside, he said to everyone, "You can go out from here. You go first."
"What about you?" From what he said, Bian Ling seemed to have no intention of leaving immediately.
"My blood can seal those places, so I can't leave for the time being."
Besides, Jiang Lexin is still there, and the other people in the inn are also innocent.
"But you can't see those holes at all!" Cat Man A couldn't understand Shen Li's current behavior.
Although he also wanted to help Jiang Lexin, except for the man with glasses, they couldn't see these things at all.
"You're staying to help him?"
Catman A looked at the man with glasses.
The man with glasses shook his head hurriedly. "You...are you kidding me? There are so many monsters outside. If we go out, won't it be like hitting a rock with an egg?"
He was afraid that Chen Li would come over and force him to deal with the problematic walls together, so without waiting for everyone to react, he jumped out of the second-floor window and ran away limping.
How can there be such teammates!
Catman A and Bian Ling suddenly felt that the behavior of the man with glasses was unreasonable.
"We'll stay and help you!"
The two of them have always been loyal. Although they say so, they are actually completely unsure in their hearts. If they really have to go for it, they will inevitably be afraid.
After all, their enemies are completely invisible.
"The man with glasses ran away. What should we do if we can't see those things?"
Shen Li: "There is a visible method."
Since everything is related to copper coins...
Chen Li pinched the edge of the coin and slowly raised his hand, looking through the square hole in the center of the coin.
"That's it, you see."
He is looking at the world anew through the copper coins.
Bian Ling and Catman A also took out their own copper coins and looked through the square hole.
I saw that there was indeed a big festering hole on the white wall that was originally empty.
At this moment, in addition to the skulls, there were even some paper people trying to crawl out of the big hole.
The more Cat Man A looked at the paper man, the more familiar he felt.
"The other side of the hole, could it be... a dream..."
The faces of these paper figures were dotted with black ink for eyes, and there were two strange spots of blush on their cheeks.
Bian Ling also reacted, "These are the monsters that appeared in our dreams!"
"So why do monsters from the dream world come to the real world?"
Everything that is happening now is completely beyond their understanding.
But even at this point, they still couldn't see any panic on Shen Li's face.
"Because the dream world erodes the real world."
Chen Li's tone was very calm, and he even warned them very seriously: "From now on, you will really get hurt."
They had been injured in their dreams before, but after waking up, they were always safe and sound in the real world.
But now it’s different. Those monsters ran out of their dreams and the harm they caused to them was real.
"Bring the cup from the table."
Chen Li signaled Bian Ling and Catman A to pour out the water in the cups and each bring a cup over.
Catman A and Bian Ling didn't know why they would obey Shen Li's words.
Even though there are mountains of swords and seas of fire outside, they feel inexplicably safe staying with Shen Li at this moment.
The two men stood there holding their cups, at a loss as to what to do. They didn't even know why Shen Li asked them to do this.
Chen Li didn't tell them too much, but directly explained the reasons with actions.
He smashed the ceramic teapot on the table, picked up a sharp piece of ceramic fragment, and without hesitation, cut a deep wound on his wrist.
Blood continued to flow down his wrist and finally entered the cup.
Bian Ling was startled by Chen Li's behavior. She exchanged glances with Cat Man A, meaning, isn't he in pain?
"If you encounter a monster, find a way to smear blood on it."
With just one sentence, he explained the purpose of his blood.
Bian Ling suddenly felt a little sorry, because after the bloodletting, Chen Li's face had become visibly paler.
"Let me bandage your wound."
"No need." Shen Li declined Bian Ling's kindness, "I will need it later."
He didn't want to stop the bleeding just yet.
"Copper coins are very important, don't lose them." Chen Li reminded them again before leaving.
The two teammates nodded repeatedly.
The team set off, led by Shen Li, with Catman A and Bian Ling following behind him.
In order to prevent the copper coins from being lost, Bian Ling tied the copper coins to her wrist with a rope in advance.
The string tied to the coin was very long, which did not prevent them from seeing the world through the square hole of the coin, but would not be lost in the chaos.
In fact, Chen Li was walking in front, drawing talismans to clear the way, and had helped them eliminate most of the monsters.
On the first floor of the inn, Jiang Lexin and several other corpse-drivers were still fighting a desperate battle.
They had no idea what was going on, they just knew something invisible was attacking them.
More than half of the people died in the process of resistance.
Just when Jiang Lexin was completely in despair, Chen Li, Bian Ling and Catman Jia sealed all the entrances.
The remaining monsters that crawled out of the dream world were also killed by them with blood.
At this moment, Jiang Lexin was covered in wounds, and his body was covered in the blood of his dead companions.
Because of the commotion, the zombies that the other corpse drivers had locked up in the cellar were released. They wandered around aimlessly and uncontrollably, killing everyone who stood in their way.
Jiang Lexin thanked Chen Li and the others, "I'll help them to the end. Can you accompany me to the cellar again?"
Some of the corpse drivers died, and some were injured.
Jiang Lexin was the one with the least serious injuries among them, so he should be the one to take care of the aftermath.
He knew very well that the zombies without the control of the corpse driver were very dangerous and had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Cat Man A had Shen Li's blood in his hands, so he was fearless and agreed on the spot.
Shen Li hadn't had time to check if there were any rotting dream walls in the cellar, so he followed him down.
The zombies crowded aimlessly at the entrance of the cellar.
Jiang Lexin used the corpse driver's unique talisman and stuck it on the forehead of each zombie, temporarily suppressing them.
The depths of the cellar were very dark, and Catman A walked in holding a candlestick.
In a trance, it seemed as if I saw a bright red through the zombies.
The candlestick in his hand was instantly extinguished by a gust of cold wind.
Cat Man A cursed loudly, then took out a lighter and lit the fire again.
In this brief moment of darkness, the miserable cry of the man with glasses was heard from deep in the cellar.
"I'm here! I'm here!"
Bian Ling had a bad feeling.
Didn't the man with glasses escape by jumping out of the window? Why was he in the cellar?
What had caught him?
If that thing grabbed the man with glasses, why didn't it kill him immediately?
Or...that thing wants to use the man with glasses to lure them over!
"Light the candles!"
Bian Ling urged.
"It's lighting!"
Cat Man A was also anxious, but the wind in the cellar was too strong and he couldn't light the fire at all.
He couldn't figure out where such a strong wind came from in the cellar.
Without light, they couldn't use the coins to determine whether there were monsters running out of their dreams here.
"How about going out first?"
Jiang Lexin was also a little panicked.
“Get out first!”
Catman A acted decisively and grabbed his teammates in the dark.
Bian Ling and Jiang Lexin are both here.
"Where's Chen Li? Chen Li!"
Catman A called Shen Li's name in the darkness.
"The bride might be here, Shen Li! Be careful!"
Catman A couldn't find Chen Li, so he could only remind him loudly.
"bride?"
Jiang Lexin heard the key words, "My senior sister?"
"Not your senior sister!"
Cat Man A didn't know how to explain for a moment.
"Didn't you tell us about your sister the other day? After we went back, we had a strange dream based on your description. Now that dream has begun to erode the real world. The bride in the dream seems to have run out, but she is definitely, definitely not your sister!"
Cat Man A's few words temporarily calmed Jiang Lexin down.
Chen Li walked through the crowded pile of zombies and unknowingly reached the end of the cellar in the darkness.
The man with glasses was pinned down by several paper figures and could not move. He could only call out Shen Li's name in despair.
"I'm here. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have left you and ran away. I shouldn't have not woken you up. I shouldn't have been selfish..."
The bride stood beside him.
The man with glasses knew that as a bait, he would always die.
He was unwilling to accept it.
He knew very well that he only had one chance to resist.
"Where are you?"
"Here."
Chen Li followed the voice and came to the man with glasses.
At this moment, Shen Li's attention was completely on the bride next to the man with glasses.
Although he couldn't see it, he could sense the other person's presence.
The time is now!
The man with glasses suddenly broke free from the paper man behind him, slipped a dagger out of his sleeve, and slashed it towards the position of Shen Li in front of him.
Before making his move, he calculated Shen Li's height countless times in the dark, and knew exactly where Shen Li's neck should be.
This was not the first time he had hurt Shen Li.
He did the same thing in the previous instance.
He did all this because he wanted to live!
And Shen Li's blood should be able to help him get out of his current predicament.
So the man with glasses attacked Shen Li without hesitation.
Catman A took a deep breath and blew hard on the fire starter.
The spark-like light fell on the candle wick, and the rekindled fire was like hope, illuminating the darkness and dispelling the cold.
But when everything was illuminated, what did they see?
They saw that the man with glasses had a ferocious and crazy expression, and the dagger in his hand cut Shen Li's neck.
There was too much blood spurted.
The blood-stained paper figurine and the bride looked in pain.
The man with glasses pushed aside the zombies blocking his way and escaped from the narrow passage, without noticing that his body had begun to turn into a paper man.
The bride made a final counterattack in pain.
Chen Li's face was pale, and he was guided by blood. Although his body had lost balance and was leaning backwards, the talisman on his fingertips had been completed.
Strange characters and pale golden light blocked the last passage.
The spell flew into the air, and a huge fire started from the end of the cellar...
