At night, Zhang Meng shared a room with Liao Qingting from the team.
"This country is such a poor place. Look at all these things. They can't even afford a bed. They're such paupers."
Zhang Meng raised the corner of her mouth and smiled helplessly.
After cursing Country R, Liao Qingting quickly sat on Zhang Meng's bed, as if the unpleasant things that had happened between them before had never happened. She smiled and said, "Comrade Zhang, I'm really sorry about what happened at your house last time. I'm a person who speaks as quickly as my mind. I say whatever comes to my mind. I don't have any ill will towards you, so please don't take it to heart."
Zhang Meng smiled back. She could see that this person really had no bad intentions, he just spoke without thinking.
"I know, Sister Liao, do you think we should take turns on night watch today?"
Liao Qingting nodded vigorously immediately, "Of course, these R people are very despicable. We must be very careful to avoid being tricked by them."
Zhang Meng nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll take over the second half of the night. I'll go to bed first, okay?"
"Okay, go to sleep." Liao Qingting readily agreed to her suggestion.
Soon, Zhang Meng simply tidied herself up and lay down on the quilt-like bed on the floor and fell asleep.
As soon as she lay down, Zhang Meng immediately found that she seemed to be much sleepier than before.
But I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was because I was tired after working on the road for so long.
Zhang Meng, who was already in a deep sleep at this time, had no idea that the little white snake on her neck was hissing and spitting out its tongue while she was sleeping.
A wisp of white mist drifted silently into her nose.
There was a fog in front of her. This was what Zhang Meng saw when she opened her eyes. The scene in front of her was actually a jungle.
She was clearly at the Onmyoji Bureau's headquarters before she went to sleep, so how could she suddenly wake up in a jungle?
"Master Wuxin, Sister Liao, Mr. Sheng, where are you?" Zhang Meng shouted a few words into the jungle shrouded in white mist.
The only response she got was silence.
Just when Zhang Meng was feeling confused, several gunshots were heard from the bushes not far away.
Faintly, there was a voice that she was most familiar with.
Without thinking too much, Zhang Meng ran over quickly, and halfway through she almost bumped into someone who was also running towards her.
"Be careful." The man grabbed her body as she was about to fall.
After stabilizing herself, Zhang Meng opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in front of her, shouting happily, "Gu Mingtai, why are you here?"
Gu Mingtai's face was covered in blood. Seeing his wife appear in front of him, his face did not show much joy. "Xiao Meng, why are you here? Hurry up and leave. It's dangerous here."
Without waiting for Zhang Meng to ask what was going on, she let him pull her hand and ran forward.
The two of them ran a few steps when suddenly a gunshot rang in their ears, and Gu Mingtai, who was pulling her, fell straight forward.
"Gu Mingtai." Zhang Meng's face changed with fright. She stepped forward to support him and looked at his chest, where bright red blood was oozing.
"Xiao Meng, I can't bear to leave you. I don't want to go to the underworld alone." After saying that, Gu Mingtai spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide open, and he died unwillingly.
Zhang Meng fell to the ground in shock and panic, her face full of despair, and she wanted to die with Gu Mingtai.
At this moment, a bright light flashed before her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she was in front of the Onmyoji Bureau’s troops again.
But at this time, she was surrounded by Taoist Wuxin and Sheng Liyuan.
They both stared at her nervously.
"Master Wuxin, Elder Sheng, why are you here?" Zhang Meng was about to sit up, but halfway through, her head started to hurt, as if it was about to explode. Unable to hold on any longer, she immediately lay back down.
"How could this happen? Why does my head hurt so much?" Zhang Meng rubbed his forehead, very confused.
"Comrade Zhang, you just fell into a nightmare set by the R people, you know? You almost stayed in the dream and could never wake up. Fortunately, Comrade Liao Qingting noticed something was wrong with you and called us here in time."
"Nightmare?" Zhang Meng rubbed his aching head and looked at the Taoist Wuxin who was speaking in confusion.
"Yes, it's a nightmare. This thing can make people fall asleep quickly, and then it will create a dream in the dreamer's dream, making the dreamer suffer in it, and finally make the dreamer commit suicide in it. This is the purpose of using a nightmare."
After hearing what he said, Zhang Meng was really glad at this moment, glad that Gu Mingtai in her dream was not real.
"Thank you for what I did just now. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by that nightmare."
When Zhang Meng thought about the horror inside, she was really afraid of this kind of nightmare.
Taoist Wuxin laughed a little embarrassedly, "Comrade Zhang, you've got the wrong person to thank. It wasn't me who saved you, it was you. It's usually very difficult for people haunted by nightmares to escape from their clutches. When we first knew you were possessed by a nightmare, we were powerless and could only stand by and remind you. But thankfully, you're strong-willed and escaped on your own."
Zhang Meng was a little surprised.
Taoist Wuxin quickly continued, "If we have to name a hero, it should be the snake around your neck, Comrade Zhang. When you were in the most critical moment, I saw it strangling you. I wonder if you felt it in your dream."
Zhang Meng immediately reached out and touched the little white thing on her neck. At this moment, it felt like something cool licked the palm of her hand.
