…
Walking into the inner room, Uncle Jie closed the door, then turned over the quilt on his bed and made a flapping sound.
Over and over again, walking back and forth from time to time, giving the outside world the impression that he was busy sleeping on the floor.
"Qiao Yuan, be careful. This group of people has guns. After they drink the knockout drug, you must leave here quickly." Uncle Jie whispered.
Qiao Yuan: "..."
As expected, as a hunter by birth, he has sharp observation skills and seems to be almost accurate.
Plop~
There was a sound of someone falling down from outside.
The medicine is working!
Uncle Jie took out a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat from the box and gave them to Qiao Yuan.
"You can't stay here overnight, leave here quickly, and don't come back to the village again!"
Uncle Jie's expression was hesitant, as if he knew something but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Amidst the scuffle, Qiao Yuan was forced to retreat back to the living room.
…
Then, a thin stick-like object pressed against his spine.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Kindhearted person..."
At this time, Uncle Jie reacted and wanted to reach out to grab the hunting rifle beside him, but he was quickly stopped and taken away by his younger brother.
"Old man, if you don't want your grandson to die, don't move!"
"I, Ma, have traveled extensively for so many years. I can smell a mere knockout drug from a kilometer away!"
The leader sneered.
"What do you want to do?" Uncle Jie said with a gloomy face.
"I, Ma, follow the rules. I only seek wealth and never harm others. If you can cooperate, I promise that you two will be fine!"
"Tell me where is the tomb your grandson mentioned?"
"There is no tomb here!" Uncle Jie said in a deep voice.
"Bullshit, my ancestors for three generations were tomb robbers. I can tell there is a big tomb here. Tell me now!" the leader shouted.
Uncle Jie was silent, he really didn't know.
…
At this time, Qiao Yuan's voice sounded.
"Uncle Jie, have you heard of this saying?"
Looking at the extremely calm Qiao Yuan, the three tomb robbers frowned, as this seemed different from the hostages they had taken in the past.
"Behave yourself, kid, or I'll shoot you!"
Three guns were pointed at Qiao Yuan at the same time.
"No martial arts in the world are invincible except speed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuan, who was pointed at by a gun, disappeared from their sight in an instant. When the three of them reacted, Qiao Yuan was already standing aside with three guns in his hands.
The three of them were horrified. They had no idea how Qiao Yuan did it.
"You... who are you?" the leader asked in horror.
Are there really ghosts in this world?
"My name is Qiao Yuan, and I'm the fastest man in this village."
Three people: "..."
Uncle Jie: “…”
…
After tying up the three people, Uncle Jie finally began to reveal the truth of the matter.
"Qiao Yuan, have you ever had a dream?"
“Yes.”
"Do you know what happens after you die in a dream?"
"The real world will die!"
Uncle Jie: “????”
This kid, why doesn't he play by the rules? Shouldn't a normal person dream of dying and then think about waking up?
"You seem to know a lot?"
"Guess."
While the two men were asking and answering each other, Uncle Jie poured three more glasses of water and added the knockout drug in front of the three tomb robbers.
In the end, all three of them were forced to drink it.
"Once you enter the dream world, no one can wake up. No one can escape. Everyone will die. And if you die in a dream... you will become a faceless person."
"I don't know how that strange spirit came to target our village. It all started with your third uncle. He was the first to die, and things started to get worse from then on." cascoo.net
"Until the second Faceless Man appeared, we called the police. A few days later, a bounty hunter claiming to be an Awakened One showed up in our mountain village and told us something."
"That bounty hunter is very powerful. He can lift hundreds of pounds of stone with one hand. He checked every part of our village and finally told us that he is absolutely sure."
"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must blend in with them. That's what he said, and he went to bed that night. When we knocked on his door the next day, we discovered that he, too, had become a faceless man."
…
"Over the next few days, people in the village began to fall asleep and couldn't wake up. Most of them became faceless men, and only a few were simply asleep. The situation became more and more serious, and then a master from the city came, calling himself the Patrolman."
"He told us that there's a spirit here that can pull people into dreams. The situation is very dangerous. Even in dreams, he's no match. We have to move quickly, the whole village!"
"It's too late... everything is too late!"
“That night, no one escaped!”
Speaking of this, Uncle Jie was in an extremely low mood.
"Qiao Yuan, hurry up and leave. You are the only one in our village who can leave here. Hurry up and leave. It will be too late if you don't leave now!" Suddenly, Uncle Jie yelled hysterically.
A cold wind blew outside the window.
Then... Uncle Jie shuddered as if he had seen something, and immediately raised his shotgun and pointed it out the window.
"It's over, it's over... It's coming, it's coming!"
"Run, I'll hold it back!" Uncle Jie roared.
With the help of the dim kerosene lamp, Qiao Yuan could clearly see that Uncle Jie's muscles were trembling and his eyes were full of fear.
He knew that the shotgun in his hand could not defeat the enemy he faced.
…
"Uncle Jie, don't panic, watch me chop it into pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuan rushed out.
Golden light, open!
A brilliant golden light spread out instantly, successfully enveloping the strange spirit from the outside world.
In this dense black forest... the golden light dispels the darkness.
Judging from its strength, it should be a third-level alien spirit.
A strange spirit without a face, or with its face blurred and its features unclear.
After detecting with mental power, I still couldn't see anything.
There seems to be a familiar feeling.
