Chapter 267: Inhuman (75) (1st update + 2nd update + 7200 thunder 3rd update) [VIP]
The blood-red in the illusion faded a lot.
In Purple Street, even the dogs are skin and bones.
The nightmare master seemed to know how to snatch food from the mouths of these beasts. When the pear was almost eaten clean, he quickly jumped up from the ground, picked up something nearby and threw it in the direction of the dog.
The dog seemed to have suffered too many similar treatments before. It reacted very quickly and dodged backwards. Suddenly, it took the remaining pear in its mouth and ran away without looking back.
The illusion was still a little hazy and blurry. The nightmare master staggered and fell to the ground.
The ground of Zi Street was covered with sewage and foul-smelling water of unknown origin. He fell into the pile without caring and looked at the sky quietly.
"You..." Xiao Tang glanced at Huai Jiamu hesitantly, and then tried to speak to the nightmare master, "Are you a resident of Purple Street?"
As soon as she said this, she almost wanted to slap herself on the mouth.
Isn’t this nonsense!
Judging from his appearance, he can't be a citizen from outside!
The man was unkempt, and the style and pattern of the clothes he wore were unclear. They could only barely serve the purpose of covering his body, and even that did not serve much purpose.
There were holes of all sizes on the clothes from beginning to end, without even a patch. They were pulled into large and small ovals by gravity.
Some of the holes have some tiny threads of fabric on the edges, and it can be seen that most of them were torn or worn on some rough surface.
The way he's dressed is no different from a homeless person.
In fact, maybe he was a homeless person.
"What do you want to do?" The man on the ground looked at the bullet warily and suddenly got up from the ground. "I have already eaten the pear just now. Go find something else to eat by yourself."
"You don't look like someone from Purple Street," the man stared at her for a few seconds, "There's no need to snatch things from us."
Xiao Tang's face was too rosy and his clothes were too neat and clean, which made him look out of place standing next to this man.
"I..." Since this person is the owner of the nightmare, it is now obvious that she has entered the illusion. Xiao Tang wanted to find an excuse, but she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Xiao Tang." It was Ersi's voice.
"Ersi! You have strength now! Didn't you and Huangmao just say they were hungry?" Xiao Tang turned around in surprise.
"A little bit. At least he can walk and talk normally." Behind her, Bai Jinshu and Huangmao had slowly stood up. Following Xiao Tang's vision, the nightmare owner also looked over.
"That's your companion?" The Nightmare Master suddenly asked, "Are you stealing food for them?"
"Ah... yes, yes." Xiao Tang didn't know why he asked this question, but this person was the key to this illusion, so of course she had to follow his words.
"Oh." The nightmare master slowly picked up the wooden stick that had just been used to beat the dog away from the ground, weighed it in his hand, put it away with a bit of satisfaction, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait, don't go." Xiao Tang didn't dare to let him go, so he grabbed him and suddenly exclaimed.
“I… Oh my god,” she looked at the wrist she was holding with a shocked expression, and squeezed it again in disbelief, “You… your arm…”
The man's arms were just skin and bones.
Only at this moment did she fully see what the nightmare master in front of her looked like.
The first thing that came into her mind was that he was dirty, too dirty. He hadn't taken a shower in who knows how long. His hair was almost tangled together, and was thrown in front of and behind him in a mess, covering part of his facial features, leaving only half of his eyes exposed.
The whites of his eyes were full of red bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
Another impression is thinness.
Xiao Tang had never pinched such a thin arm before. There was no flesh at all, and it was so bony that it looked like a piece of rough skin wrapped around a piece of bone. It was incredibly thin when pinched, without any trace of fat, as if it would break in the next second. Xiao Tang's first reaction was to pinch it again to confirm.
"What are you doing!" The man pulled his hand back with a sudden reaction and glared at me fiercely.
The facial features on his face were almost completely covered by the messy hair, except for a pair of bloodshot eyes, which looked at Xiao Tang particularly viciously.
"Why are your arms so thin..." Xiao Tang was stunned, "You..."
"Do you think everyone can eat as much as you do?" The Nightmare Master looked at her fiercely for a few minutes, and said fiercely, "This is Purple Street. What do you think the people here are like? Can they eat every day, not go hungry, and survive?"
"Xiao Tang," Bai Jinshu calmly pushed the stunned Xiao Tang back and said softly to the nightmare master, "I'm sorry, my friend...is here at Purple Street for the first time. I'm sorry if I've offended you."
The Nightmare Master looked at the two men and sneered.
"Sorry is useless. Are you citizens from outside?"
"No," Bai Jinshu pinched Xiao Tang's wrist to signal her to be quiet, and then he said, "We are also ordinary people who want to find a place to stay in Purple Street."
"Ordinary people," the Nightmare Master shook his shoulders and suddenly laughed out loud, "You know what? As long as there is a little hope, no one will be willing to enter Purple Street. Since you have entered here, what have you done wrong?"
"Economic crime, we have no way out." Bai Jinshu made up an excuse casually, his tone very calm.
"Economic crime..." The nightmare master raised his head slightly and looked at the people in front of him. He was about a head shorter than Bai Jinshu, and he could only look him in the eye by raising his head.
It can be seen that he did not get enough nutrition at the age of development, so he was unable to grow to the average male height.
"People like you will suffer in Purple Street sooner or later."
"I found it," Bai Jinshu nodded modestly, "Then how can we survive in Purple Street?"
"It's funny, you ask me?" The nightmare master pointed at himself with amusement, "Do you have eyes?"
Bai Jinshu said "Huh?" with a vague lack of reaction.
"I'm asking you, do you have eyes?" the nightmare master said in a weak tone, "Do you think I can survive?"
Really not.
To be honest, Bai Jinshu felt in his heart that he would die in front of him in the next second.
This man has become abnormally thin. Not to mention the wrist that scared Xiao Tang just now, just looking at his facial features at the current social distance, one can vaguely see that his eyes are deeply sunken into his eye sockets, and there is not much flesh on the exposed skin on his face, and the outline of the bones can even be seen.
Bai Jinshu believed this honor and said that he would fall in front of him in the next second.
But now everyone knows that he must have lived to the time when they entered the nightmare, and he definitely would not die now.
"Now you understand, don't block the road here. Go away." The Nightmare Master lowered his head again and walked forward.
"Er Si..." Xiao Tang said in a low voice, "What should we do?"
This person seems to be very repulsive to them.
"Follow me." Bai Jinshu said.
The Nightmare Master walked slowly in front with his head down, without making any response to their following, so Bai Jinshu and the others followed behind him.
Huai Jiamu said that the consciousness of this nightmare master was too strong, and everyone who entered it would feel the same as him. Bai Jinshu still felt his stomach was burning badly, but his limbs had a lot more strength. The nightmare master walking in front was probably in much better condition.
And not only him, Huangmao has also gotten much better.
Everyone finally had some energy to communicate.
"Brother Er, we don't know where the others are now," he said a little worriedly, "Purple Street is so big, and we don't know the way. What if we don't meet them?"
The situation this time was different from the previous two times. When everyone came in, they were all forced to have a debuff because the Nightmare Master was in a hungry state. There were not many team members like Huangmao who could meet Xiao Tang and Bai Jinshu who had a big ghost story around them that was not affected. Most of the others directly lost their ability to move in this hungry state and could only stay where they were.
"How about I go find them?" Xiao Tang turned around to ask for advice.
"Look for him later," Bai Jinshu glanced at the nightmare master in front of him, "Follow him closely first, and then you can go back and look for him when you know where he lives."
No matter how big Purple Street is, it is just an illusion. Triggers who have not entered the environment will not be in any danger of life except being affected by the nightmare master.
"This place looks nothing like the Purple Street in Qiao Bie's fantasy world..." The yellow-haired man beside him spoke as if he was out of breath.
really.
In Qiao Bie's fantasy, if nothing else, Front Street was at least a very lively place.
Crowds of people would come out to communicate as they passed by. Many residents of Front Street had main jobs. For example, some had small connections and specialized in bringing things from the violent urban areas outside into Purple Street, some had some skills and opened rough clothing stores here, or just like the shouts that could be heard every morning, some sold simple foods such as sugar water.
Although Front Street looks poor, it is at least full of vitality.
But now it can only be described as dead silent here.
This dead silence did not come from the lack of residents. On the contrary, every street they followed the nightmare master through was crowded.
The population of Purple Street, far more than the normal area's carrying capacity, lives in the short rooms on both sides. Although Purple Street is entirely made up of old-style bungalows, Bai Jinshu dares to believe that the population density here will definitely not be less than that of the suburban residential areas of the City of Violence, which are all buildings.
There are really too many people here.
In contrast to so many people, these streets were all eerily quiet.
The crowd didn't seem to care who walked on the street, nor did they bother to pay any attention to them, but they were not busy with their work, they were just staring into the void.
His face was blank and dazed.
Even the little kids who were still noisy were like this. People all over the street were staring blankly in a very uniform posture. There were people everywhere, but there was no sound at all.
"Hiss..." Xiao Tang shook his shoulders, feeling a little scared. "If you hadn't told me this is Purple Street, I would have thought all these people had kowtowed."
This is what an addict does.
The nightmare master in front of him shook his shoulders when he heard this, and finally looked back at Xiao Tang with a strange expression: "It would be good if they knocked on the door, which means they at least have money."
His voice had a very strange sharpness, as if he was about to laugh but also said sarcastically, "Do you think people here have the money to buy those things?"
"So what is this?" Xiao Tang imitated Bai Jinshu's way and asked humbly.
"Save your energy." The Nightmare Master turned around and continued walking forward.
"Save energy?" Xiao Tang didn't understand.
"If you don't do this, you'll be hungry soon," the Nightmare Master's voice sounded weak, "So don't talk to me. I don't want to waste my energy on irrelevant people."
After saying this, he fell silent again, and it seemed that he really intended to save his energy.
"So arrogant..." Xiao Tang muttered softly, "This is even more arrogant than I was back then."
Bai Jinshu glanced at her.
Although I don’t know how cool Xiao Tang was when he was talking about “himself at that time”, it is a bit inaccurate to describe the attitude of the nightmare master in front of me as “cool”.
His attitude is more of indifference.
He had no intention of building good relationships with them, nor was there any need to do so, so he just ignored them.
The Nightmare Master walked and walked, and finally left the residential area and circled around to an even more dilapidated group of buildings.
Bai Jinshuo said that they originally thought that the Nightmare Master lived in this building complex, but he still did not stop, but continued to move forward. After passing through this dilapidated building complex, he walked towards an even more simple residential area.
All the buildings here can no longer be called buildings. They are sheds made of iron rods and cloth.
The nightmare master walked to the cloth tent in the corner and fell into what could probably be called a bed without saying a word.
What he said about chasing the dog for three blocks was not an exaggeration at all.
From where they are now to where they met the Nightmare Master, there are exactly three streets.
After the Nightmare Master fell down, he seemed too lazy to pay attention to them. He didn't care at all that these people who followed him back were standing at his doorstep.
If this kind of tent can be considered a home.
"Shall I go find the others?" Xiao Tang turned around and glanced at the other people. "I think they can also find that something is wrong here. I'll bring them over first."
Bai Jinshu nodded: "Do you remember the way?"
"It's okay. Remember," Xiao Tang waved his hand, "If I get lost later, ask Huangmao to pick me up. I'm leaving. You guys try to get some more information out of me here."
When she said this, she did not avoid the nightmare master at all, and the nightmare master seemed to have not heard it at all, and his expression did not change at all.
This girl Xiao Tang really has a kind of confidence in him that she doesn't know where it comes from. She always has a strange sense of trust that "the magical Ersi will definitely solve the problem." Bai Jinshu turned around and looked at the motionless shadow, doubting that it would be difficult for him to get any words out of him.
And this is indeed the case.
He tried to approach the topic from various angles, but received no response from the man.
The Nightmare Master is like a robot that has suddenly been unplugged and entered standby mode. It will not respond to anything in the outside world.
During this time, someone seemed to walk out of a few sheds nearby. His back was swaying and it seemed like he was about to fall down in the next second.
Bai Jinshu looked up and saw that the man was also skinny and looked like he would fall down at any second.
Without muscle and fat on the body, the head will appear particularly large.
At first glance, everyone on this street looked like they had a big head and a thin neck. In comparison, the nightmare owner's head was relatively small, so they didn't notice the disproportionate proportions at first glance.
Bai Jinshu's condition was linked to that of the nightmare master. Although he had been lying motionless on the bed, as time went by, Bai Jinshu felt the burning sensation in his stomach becoming more and more severe.
And it’s not just the stomach.
"Red," Huang Mao glanced around, "Er Ge, this illusion is red again."
The Nightmare Master is hungry again.
In other words, he never had enough to eat.
How can half a pear snatched from a dog's mouth satisfy your hunger? The reason why everyone was able to muster up a little strength just now was only because the fruit has a high sugar content. The blood sugar level temporarily increased the moment it was eaten.
I don’t know if Xiao Tang found the remaining teammates before the second round of debuff came.
Bai Jinshu took a deep breath, and imitated the nightmare master, finding a place to lean against, trying his best to stop any meaningless movements and brainpower consumption, and he really felt much better.
Sure enough, there is a reason why these people all look like they are out of power and on standby.
Just then, there was a small commotion in the distance.
Bai Jinshu glanced at it lacklusterly.
No one knew what was happening in the distance, and many people who were waiting in the sheds all walked out.
In an instant, the streets were filled with purple street people with abnormally large heads and skinny bodies. These people seemed to have seen something and rushed towards that direction.
Then, the next second, Bai Jinshu knew why.
"What's that smell?" The yellow-haired man jumped up, "It smells so good!"
The smell floated into his nose like a hook, making his already burning stomach even more painful.
Not only Huangmao, but also the Nightmare Master who had been on standby just now suddenly jumped up.
"Food." He muttered to himself and rushed towards the door.
Bai Jinshu didn't even know where he got the strength from in this situation.
He smelled that smell too.
That's the smell of bread.
Under normal circumstances, this smell probably just means that a bakery has opened in the place you just passed by. Sometimes it may mean that passers-by will go in and buy a few bags of toast for tomorrow's breakfast. If there is enough time and the kitchen utensils are complete, the aroma can be emitted again in the toaster or breakfast machine in the early morning of the next day.
That's all.
But he also said that was under normal circumstances. Now, this smell broke into everyone's mind with a devastating force. Wherever they looked, countless people had murderous eyes and rushed towards the direction of the smell.
Bai Jinshu didn't know where the smell came from, but his intuition told him that this group of people might not be able to get the bread.
If you don't have enough strength, who would dare to bring this thing in here?
As expected, cries of pain were immediately heard from the crowd.
Along with the screams of pain came Xiao Tang’s voice: “Get out of here!”
"Don't mess with me! I'm warning you. You're all skin and bones. I can break everyone's spine with one hand. If you come up to me again, I'll be rude to you!"
After hearing her words, many people retreated a little, but more people turned a deaf ear to her.
It smells so good.
"Hey," Xiao Tang said, "You don't believe in evil, right? Come on, come on."
There was an unceremonious thud and the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Bai Jinshu closed his eyes to suppress the constant burning sensation in his stomach, and felt like he was listening to an audio book. The noise was most likely Xiao Tang kicking someone directly into those sheds.
The sound just now was a broken rib.
In a place like Purple Street, with the lack of care and nutrition, it is almost impossible to recover from an illness. With such serious injuries, the only outcome is death.
Finally, those who were rushing forward desperately stopped hesitantly.
It was precisely because of his men's ruthlessness that Xiao Tang was able to reach the shed.
Bai Jinshu saw that she was holding a large plastic bag, which was filled with various kinds of bread.
This bag is half the size of Xiao Tang.
"Did you rob a bakery?" Bai Jinshu really didn't expect that she would bring back so much bread.
"Holy crap, you're a god," Xiao Tang was shocked, "How did you know I robbed a bakery?"
Bai Jinshu:?
"Did you really rob a bakery?" He was stunned.
"Yeah," Xiao Tang shrugged, shifting the blame naturally, "Sister Tazi asked me to rob."
Only then did Bai Jinshu see all the remaining team members following her.
Compared to him and Huangmao, the rest of the people seemed to be in much better condition. Dita took the initiative to speak: "Uh...there is not much to eat in Purple Street, so I asked Xiao Tang to go directly to a bakery for zero yuan. Otherwise, our group of people would not be able to move at all. Everyone is too hungry to walk."
"I ended up taking too much and running too slowly, so I was almost caught up by the police," Xiao Tang patted his chest, "I didn't even rob those jewelry and gold stores, I just robbed some bread, why were they chasing me?"
Bai Jinshu: ...
You also know it's a robbery?
Robbery is robbery.
"Oh, by the way, Ersi, where is the Nightmare Master?" Xiao Tang looked around and asked curiously, "Is he gone?"
"I just went out." Bai Jinshu stretched out his hand, and Guan Hongyan understood and stuffed a piece of bread into his hand. The moment the soft dough with the aroma of wheat entered his mouth, Bai Jinshu felt as if he was in another world.
He had never felt so happy to be able to eat enough.
"Going out, where to..."
Before she finished her words, the nightmare master at the door walked in.
He seemed to have not expected that the bread, which he had only smelled just now, would actually appear in his home, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"Hey, you're back," Xiao Tang opened the bag generously, "Pick one."
"...What?" The nightmare master looked up.
"Bread," Xiao Tang was puzzled, "Don't you want to eat it?"
The two people next to him, Huangmao and Ersi, didn't even have time to look up, okay?
Especially Huangmao, this kid ate as if he had never seen food in his life. He choked and shed tears while eating. Even the poor Yuan Shanming couldn't bear to watch the child.
"For... me?" The nightmare master stretched out his hand hesitantly, as if he had never expected that the saying "pie in the sky" would one day appear in such a literal sense.
"Yeah," Xiao Tang blinked, "Aren't you hungry?"
Before she finished her words, as soon as the word "yes" came out of her mouth, the nightmare owner grabbed a piece of bread from the bag at lightning speed and stuffed it into his mouth frantically, as if he was afraid that Xiao Tang would regret it the next second.
"Hey, hey, hey, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you." Xiao Tang was scared by his posture.
The nightmare master didn't even raise his head, and used his ten fingers to frantically stuff the soft bread into his mouth.
"Slow down, slow down!" Guan Hongyan was also frightened by him, "We have all eaten, no one is going to snatch it from you."
The nightmare master swallowed a piece of bread in one gulp, then reached out and grabbed another one, continuing to stuff it into his mouth frantically.
Everyone present just watched him eat three in a row.
Just as he reached for the fourth, a hand grabbed his arm.
The nightmare master looked up and found that the man who caught him was the man named Ersi.
"You can't eat anymore," Bai Jinshu frowned slightly, "People who have been hungry for a long time will have their gastrointestinal function deteriorated. If you eat too much, your life will be in danger."
"Oh, right, right!" Xiao Tang suddenly remembered, "There was an ancient poet over there who was hungry for too long. His friend brought him a pound of beef, and he ate it to death. You can't eat anymore."
The nightmare master stretched his hand forward stubbornly, as if trying to break free from Bai Jinshu's hand.
But his strength was not that great, and his wrists were surprisingly thin, so he could easily grab the bag. After struggling for a few times, Xiao Tang tied up the bread bag directly.
As the bag was tied up, the aroma that continued to emanate from the bread was blocked to a certain extent.
The nightmare master who came from Purple Street knew how to judge the situation too well. Seeing that he couldn't pull his arm out of the hand of this man named Ersi no matter how hard he struggled, he simply gave up struggling and watched Xiao Tang tie up the bag in silence.
"Now you know, I'm not a bad person," Xiao Tang muttered a few words, "Who can't survive in Purple Street now? Hmm? Who can't survive?"
She had been humbly seeking advice from her nightmare master just a few hours ago, but now that she had brought back the bread, she looked so smug.
But she does have reason to be proud of herself.
The nightmare master looked at her silently for a few seconds and then looked away silently.
"Hey, what's with that expression on your face?" Xiao Tang took advantage of the situation and acted cute. "You ate three pieces of my bread, shouldn't you be polite? What's your attitude?"
"What do you want to do?" The Nightmare Master gave her a sullen look. "I have nothing here. You can survive in Purple Street. None of this means anything to you."
"It makes sense," Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows, "Come on, tell me, what's your name?"
The nightmare master was silent again.
"Oh my God, you belong to the gourd sign," Xiao Tang said speechlessly, "Er Si, Er Si——"
When she ran out of ideas, she started looking for the magical Ersi.
Bai Jinshu held his forehead and said, "We are new here in Purple Street and are not familiar with the situation here. We need someone to lead us to live here."
"Lu Yun." The nightmare master was silent for a long time and uttered two words.
"Okay Lu Yun, from now on we are a family," Xiao Tang raised her head proudly, "My name is Tang Tang, you can just call me Sister Xiao Tang. If you have any regrets, tell me and I will help you realize them!"
Lu Yun looked at her in silence for a long while, and then said two words: "No."
He stood up and looked outside, then let go of the rags tied on both sides: "It's time to go to bed."
"Going to bed so early?" Xiao Tang looked at him strangely, "It's not dark yet?"
Lu Yun paused: "We need to prepare early."
No one knew what he was preparing, but when Lu Yun pulled out a pile of things that looked like umbrella cloth from all sides of the shed and started hanging them around, everyone knew what he was preparing.
Night is coming.
He lived in a shed without any building structure, and he needed to do more to ensure his own safety than the people on Purple Street who could solve the problem by closing the door in the evening.
"Come on, let me help you." Xiao Tang was very enthusiastic.
Everyone came forward and helped Lu Yun to surround the entire shed.
I didn't notice it just now, but once the shed was enclosed, the nine people in this space seemed quite crowded.
Lu Yun pulled out some cloth from somewhere else and spread it on the ground: "You guys sleep here."
"Is there a quilt?" Xiao Tang blinked.
"There is no quilt," he added, "You are sleeping on my quilt."
He was so sincere that it made everyone feel a little embarrassed.
But no matter what, at least now Lu Yun has the energy to prepare beds for them, all thanks to Xiao Tang's purchase of the bakery for zero yuan.
So although everyone felt embarrassed, they didn't refuse. Xiao Tang even lay down directly and stretched: "Oh, the last time I slept in such a simple environment..."
"Or last time?" Dita asked.
"No, it was when I went camping," Xiao Tang puffed up his cheeks, "At that time we had barbecue to eat. We slept until midnight and my friend suddenly felt hungry and asked if he wanted to have a midnight snack. A group of us went out to feed mosquitoes while skewering meat. The next day, we found that our legs were covered with lumps."
"My friend's barbecue skills are terrible. He can even roast the meat skewers and make them fall apart. The fat dripping onto the charcoal fire and rising up all over is choking white smoke..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking," Yuan Shanming quickly covered her mouth, "We are all hungry."
"Still hungry?" Xiao Tang struggled hard for a few times and muttered softly.
Of course I'm hungry.
Lu Yun was not full.
It was as if there was a bottomless pit in his stomach, constantly clamoring for him to keep eating.
After everyone checked that there was no light leakage, they lay down on Lu Yun's quilt and looked at each other awkwardly.
This can also be considered a large bunk bed.
The three girls adapted well, kissed each other and fell asleep in each other's arms, leaving the boys looking at each other awkwardly.
"Ahem..." The fitness guy coughed awkwardly, "Hurry up and go to sleep. We don't know when this illusion will change. If that happens, we won't be able to sleep."
That's true.
Bai Jinshu closed his eyes, trying to hypnotize himself to fall asleep from the hunger that followed him like a shadow, but he didn't know whether it was because the words Xiao Tang said before going to bed were too tempting, or he was really hungry. In a half-asleep state, he vaguely felt the sound of something burning, like a barbecue grill.
There was also some light flickering in front of my eyes.
There were some intermittent sounds coming from the distance, like someone shouting or crying out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Guan Hongyan also woke up, "Lu Yun? Why are you shaking?"
At the edge of the shed, Lu Yun had curled himself up into a ball, shaking madly.
Outside the shed, there seemed to be some kind of fight going on.
Where in the violent city would people come from to fight in the middle of the night?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Undead?" Bai Jinshu looked at the outside world separated by a piece of cloth.
"I'll go out and take a look." Xiao Tang flipped over.
Something was glowing outside, which immediately reminded them of the end of the last nightmare.
The kid burned the yard.
Isn't today that night?
Everyone couldn't sit still anymore and got up from the ground one after another. Xiao Tang was about to go out.
"No! Don't go out!" Lu Yun grabbed her.
"There are undead outside! Don't go out!" He swallowed nervously, "It's... it's the gang that's dealing with it. It's the gang in charge of us. Don't go out! Don't open these blackout cloths!"
"Wait... wait until after tonight! Don't go!" His voice was trembling, but the hand holding Xiao Tang's arm was very firm.
"It's okay. You saw me during the day. I'm a good fighter." Xiao Tang blinked. "Let's go see what's going on. You just stay here by yourself. We'll be back soon."
"He will die." Lu Yun insisted.
"It's really okay, just let go, we won't die!" Xiao Tang was a little anxious. If today was really that night, they might miss clues at any moment. The biggest problem in the last nightmare was what the tall and thin man had discovered. The sooner they went, the more likely they would see the same clues as him.
Although it stands to reason that nightmares only show what their owner knows, if Lu Yun had not gone out that night, he would definitely not know what had happened.
But despite what they said, everyone had a hint of "what if?"
What if he knew something?
What exactly happened in the last nightmare?
Bai Jinshu was quick and had already started to remove the umbrella cloth at the edge of the shed.
Guan Hongyan also squatted down to help him dismantle it.
"No, you can't go!"
"We're really fine!" Xiao Tang shook it off a few times, a little angry, "Even if he dies, it's none of your business, right? If you're scared, just wait until we get out and put the cloth back on. At worst, we can come back at daybreak!"
Lu Yun was silent for a few seconds: "It's none of my business."
"Sister Xiao Tang," he called silently, "Didn't you say we are family?"
"Don't go out, the gang will take care of it."
Xiao Tang was mad: "I said we are a family not for you to stop us from exploring, you stupid kid!"
She could already tell that Lu Yun was not very old. Not to mention that he was a head shorter than Bill Si, the hand he was holding was not the size of an adult male's.
"But," Lu Yun was silent for a few seconds, "my last family member died in this way."
Everyone paused.
"The undead appeared at night, and he went to the gang to deal with it." Lu Yun raised his head. His facial features were still not very clear, and only a pair of eyes could be seen in his messy hair. "Then, before he could reach the gang, he was killed by the undead."
Xiao Tang was a little silent.
In their last nightmare, they only followed the gang's vision, but now, it seems that the real Purple Street is beginning to reveal its true side to them.
"We will be fine." Bai Jinshu finally said, "Don't worry, you haven't finished eating the bread you bought yesterday. You won't die. We will leave someone to accompany you."
"Let's go," he gestured to everyone, "Yellow Hair, you stay and accompany him."
The author has something to say:
In view of everyone's lament that the 8-day holiday passed too quickly, Hantang arranged a time travel. Now you have returned to the night before the holiday (?), no need to thank me (palms together)
