Chapter 142 Dream [Two in One]
As soon as Li Zang entered the bookstore, he felt a strange force rushing into his mind, trying to distort his memory.
Li Zang ignored it.
Because even if we ignore it, this distortion will not cause any waves.
In the dim bookstore, all the books were piled messily on the shelves.
Each of the books is permeated with a strong ominous atmosphere, and you can tell at first glance that these books are not serious.
Li Zang casually picked up a book beside him and glanced at the title casually - What is Love in the World?
Um?
Have even evil gods begun to study love these days?
Li Zang opened it out of curiosity. He was surprised to see that it was filled with twisted tadpole script that he couldn't understand. The characters seemed to be alive, twisting and wriggling constantly like black worms, which made him feel nauseous.
This feeling is particularly familiar, and we can experience it when we first learn to read in kindergarten.
Li Zang closed the book and looked towards the staff desk. At this moment, most of the bookstore employees were sleeping on the desks, as if they had fallen asleep.
Um?
In a dream? ? ?
A dream within a dream?
"Optimization~"
Li Zang raised his hand, covered his right eye, and continued to optimize his eyes. The next second, as if following the threads of the spiritual world, he could see the people who were dreaming and the situations in their dreams.
Oh, it was this kind of dream?
Li Zang saw that the dreams these people had were actually predictive dreams. They influenced the real world through dreams, thus achieving the purpose of infiltrating and polluting reality.
interesting……
No wonder the first Cthulhu creature to appear in the real world would be Hypnos, the Lord of Sleep.
Even if we put aside the irrationality of the diary, this makes sense.
Li Zang withdrew his gaze and then looked elsewhere.
At this time, there was still a small number of employees who were chatting secretly, trying to fish in troubled waters, but these people spoke very weakly and looked very tired.
In the dim light.
Li Zang took a quick glance and saw that the people who were chatting had stopped talking and were staring at him. Their eyes, with heavy eye bags and dark circles, looked dull, lifeless, empty and weird.
A fat man who was yawning constantly and looked drowsy was eating, grabbing pieces of bright red meat and tearing them apart with force.
The office chair that this nearly 200-kilogram fat man sat on was obviously tailor-made and took up twice as much space as other people's chairs. But even so, the soft and hideous fat still filled the chair.
The fat man's teeth were extremely sharp, like those of some wild beast. Every bite left neat bite marks on the meat.
His mouth was full of blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was the blood that seeped out from the meat when his teeth bit into it, or the blood that flowed out from his tongue and lips when he bit off them.
The fat man seemed to notice Li Zang's gaze. He raised his huge head, and with his fat hands with sharp fingernails, he pushed the basket of meat on the table forward and offered to share: "Would you like some? This meat is very fresh. I just smoked it yesterday."
"No need...just eat slowly."
Li Zang shook his head and refused to be fed food of unknown origin.
Although I am in a dream, I feel that everything I perceive is real, and I also feel nauseous.
The fat man didn't mind. He lowered his head and continued to tear the piece of meat in his hand. However, the chewing sound was a bit harsh, and he didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it seemed very chewy.
Li Zang raised his head and looked around, then he saw something on a wall. He walked over and saw the portraits and names of the bookstore's employees.
The fat guy just now, surnamed Xu, nineteen years old...
At the age of nineteen and weighing over two hundred kilograms, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Although Fatty Xu is only nineteen years old, he is a veteran employee in this bookstore and has worked here for several years.
Li Zang was actually among the employees and saw his own employee photo.
It was a bit weird, with thick dark circles under the eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a long time and had stayed up late until his eye sockets were black, making him look like a weak and skinny panda spirit.
Well, am I still an excellent employee of this bookstore?
Isn't it illegal for the evil god to employ child labor?
interesting.
“Fat in the south and bald in the north?”
Li Zang muttered the nicknames on the wall, and then he saw an employee who could be compared with Fatty Xu, Comrade Wang Yufen, who was already bald like a Mediterranean at the age of 21.
Yes, female.
People couldn't help but talk about it. A slender girl walked in from the bathroom. She was about 1.8 meters tall. From Li Zang's perspective, the first thing he saw was naturally Wang Yufen's long legs.
Slender, skinny...
Wang Yufen seemed to be very confident about her legs, so even in this season change, when it was easy to catch a cold, she still only wore a short skirt.
Li Zang's face was calm. It was useless to say that bare legs looked good. Wang Yufen could be described in one word: thin. She was so skinny that it was almost shocking. She looked like she could be blown down by a force 6 or 7 wind. There was no coordination no matter how you looked at her.
Wang Yufen has regular facial features. If it weren't for the dark circles under her eyes and fatigue that made her face look yellow and pale, she might be described as pretty...
"Brother Li Zang, could you please stop looking at me like that? It's embarrassing."
When Wang Yufen saw Li Zang looking at her, she touched the black wool hat on her head somewhat embarrassedly. Her thin and sparse hair extended from both sides of the hat brim and fell on her shoulders.
Her voice was filled with the texture of worn-out mechanical metal, hoarse and broken.
Li Zang said nothing.
Fatty Xu said, "Sister Yufen, I think your hair has grown thicker."
Wang Yufen was obviously very happy when she heard this. She smiled and said, "Hehe, I used a good method taught by the president. It works very well. I will have more hair in the future."
Fatty Xu continued, "Sister Yufen looks pretty energetic today. Did you have a good rest?"
Hearing the word "rest", Wang Yufen yawned and replied, "It's OK~"
"Hey, Brother Li Zang, did I just touch my hat?"
Wang Yufen was suddenly frightened. Without waiting for Li Zang's answer, she rushed into the bathroom and quickly tidied up her appearance.
Yes, tidying up the remains...
Comrade Wang Yufen is a dead person.
"ah!!!"
The next second, Wang Yufen's sharp and terrifying scream was heard from the bathroom.
Li Zang covered his ears.
The dim light in the whole house began to flicker, and the old glass on the windows began to crack, which was extremely strange.
After a while, Wang Yufen ran out without a hat, covering her Mediterranean bald head, and ran towards the president's office while shouting, "President, President, why did my newly transplanted hair fall out again!?"
"Wang Yufen, why did you come in without knocking?"
With a "pop", a crisp breaking sound came from the president's office, like the sound of a glass falling to the ground.
Li Zang watched the show quietly without saying anything, but he had a strange feeling.
It seems that Hypnos is trying to pollute his spiritual world by letting him enter the plot. The best proof of this is that he tried to distort his memory when he entered the door earlier.
A moment later, the office was filled with the sound of "pa pa pa", and Wang Yufen's shrill screams could be heard from time to time.
I can only hear the sound but not see its shadow.
? ? ?
Li Zang got goosebumps when he heard the scary scream...
Something is wrong!
Holy shit…
"Brother Li Zang, do you want to watch the battle?"
Fatty Xu laughed, the huge mouth of the abyss dripping with blood looked so creepy.
Li Zang shook his head to refuse.
A bald and skinny guy, an eighty-year-old dwarf, those who dare to watch the game are real warriors. I'm afraid they will have their eyes removed and disinfected!
Fatty Xu said regretfully: "What a pity, they will be finished soon."
"Ten, nine, eight..."
An employee who was watching the fun was counting down. When the count reached one, the sound of the old but powerful impact cannon subsided, and Wang Yufen's screams also disappeared.
"Ten seconds... the president is still as charming as ever." Someone joked with a teasing look on his face.
"He can still hold on for ten seconds at the age of eighty, that's pretty impressive!"
After a while, Comrade Wang Yufen returned to her job angrily with an unsatisfied look on her face.
Behind him, the dwarf old president, who was only 1.3 meters tall, also walked out closely behind.
The dwarf president with a gloomy expression said grimly as soon as he came out: "If anyone dares to say bad things about me behind my back, I will twist your head off!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the two people who had just started to make fun of him were sweating profusely on their temples.
The dwarf president walked to Fatty Xu and put his hand on his shoulder. His fingernails were very long and sharp, and as soon as they touched Fatty Xu, he was frightened so much that he trembled all over, his facial expression was out of control, and he was terrified.
Fatty Xu sat on the chair. He was obviously terrified, but he didn't dare to move at all.
"I'm kidding. You are all good employees who have made great contributions to the newspaper. How could I kill you..."
Just as Fatty Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the dwarf president whispering in his ear with a cold face, "I will saw off your lower limbs and make you like me."
Fatty Xu had a look of fear on his face, and he looked like he was about to cry.
The dwarf president looked at Li Zang and said slowly: "Li Zang, aren't you dreaming?"
"Why should I dream?"
"There is everything in dreams. There is everything in the world, everything you want. If you enter a dream, you can get everything you can't get in this reality."
There was a kind of temptation from the world of Cthulhu in the words of the dwarf president.
If Li Zang was just an ordinary person without strong strength, he would have sunk into Hypnos' dream world by now.
This kind of horror dream with a plot is really a favorite of horror story lovers.
"Can I see Hypnos in my dream?" Li Zang asked slowly.
He no longer wanted to follow the dream plot planned by Hypnos. He wanted to fight king against king with real swords and guns.
When the dwarf president heard the name from Li Zang's mouth, his expression gradually became dull, and his originally black pupils revealed a faint green gaze.
"Do you want to find me?"
"Then come on, I'll be waiting for you in the deep dream."
Li Zang nodded.
The biggest challenge in finding Hypnos and getting rid of it is not to destroy it, but how to find it.
Even with his current strength, Li Zang was not absolutely sure that he could find the existence of Hypnos in this complex dream world through tough means.
Every profession has its own expertise. Before you reach the level of being able to defeat others with your own strength, you must be cautious whenever you compete with someone else in their home turf.
If Hypnos hadn't stayed in the real world at all, he wouldn't have entered the other party's dream world at all.
"Come on, come on, come in..."
The dwarf president muttered, stretching out his hands with long nails and trying to strangle Li Zang's neck.
"Okay, I got it."
After Li Zang finished speaking, he swung his arm and swept away the dwarf president's head, which was directly swept away by an unparalleled force.
Just like a ball rolling on the ground...
Li Zang pressed down with one palm, and the whole bookstore burst in an instant like a bubble.
The surroundings turned into a gray foggy world.
There is no real object above, below, left or right.
Li Zang seemed to be standing in the air, in the fog, without any sense of direction, front, back, left, right, up, or down. His senses were torn apart, and his soul was being eroded by something.
"If Zhao Lingtian were here, he would probably be transformed into something weird in an instant."
Li Zang closed his eyes, and the next second, the environment in front of him changed again.
He appeared in a huge and magnificent palace. Everything in the palace was made of gold.
The so-called bright light is the light emitted by the numerous gemstones on the ceiling...
Money, an astronomical amount of money.
There is also a dragon throne above the hall. The dragon throne has a strange attraction, like the embodiment of power, as if people feel that as long as they sit on the chair, they can control the greatest power in the world.
The power of the emperor!
Li Zang didn't feel the slightest bit tempted by this.
Money, power, these things cannot tempt him.
These conventional temptations are really too low!
Li Zang was about to enter the next dream when suddenly, footsteps were heard.
“Da da da…”
Li Zang turned around and saw a pair of long white legs wearing high heels...
Looking up...
Gurgle.
Shen Yuemo walked out from the depths of the palace with a shy look on her face, wearing... no clothes.
? ? ?
"Brother Xiao Zang, Mo Mo misses you so much."
Oh shit!
Li Zang's eyelids were twitching, and a thousand horses were galloping through his mind.
Are you actually using this to test cadres? ? ?
Damn evil god, you are so damn sensible!
Hiss, he still looks like the adult Shen Yuemo.
This king of sleep, Hypnos, is really good at it. He can actually detect the strongest emotions and desires in the deepest part of his heart at this moment.
This strange skill alone is worthy of praise.
Shen Yuemo slowly walked in front of Li Zang, raised her arms and tried to hug Li Zang.
The scent of milk that came from being too close, and the slightly hot breath.
Li Zang knew clearly that it was fake, but he still had to say it. It was really amazing.
The figure of Mo Mo is really perfectly presented...
If he were an ordinary decent person, he would probably fall directly into this wave of temptation.
Even he felt a little bit nervous.
Being too emotional is not a good thing.
Li Zang took a deep breath and grabbed Shen Yuemo's hand.
"Momo."
Shen Yuemo asked shyly: "Brother Xiaozang, what are you going to do~"
"I want to hit you."
As soon as Li Zang finished speaking, with a "crack" sound, he twisted Shen Yuemo's arm into a knot!
"ah!!!"
Shen Yuemo let out a terrifying scream.
It's so difficult to write. The protagonist can't be too weak, otherwise the story will fall apart. If it's too strong, the horror atmosphere won't feel enough...
