C24 (2/2)

After exiting Zhang Yuechen's room, Han Yuan could not help but look back at her. He didn't know why, but he had a strong premonition that he wouldn't see the Jade Skeleton again in the future.

They belong to different worlds.

As for him, he would eventually return to the world of light and return to the lives of ordinary people. After travelling in the darkness for too long, his thirst for light had grown even stronger.

Zhou Shen sat on the sofa near the window, smoking the last cigarette in his pack of cigarettes. In the smoke, he looked at Chu Chi who was sleeping on the bed, Chu Chi's body would throb from time to time.

What kind of nightmare was he having?

Zhou Shen couldn't help but think that he had seen the abilities of the Old Man Ao before. With that old man's abilities, capturing a Dream Yan Mo that suppressed a nightmare for Chu Chi should be an extremely simple matter.

That also meant that the thing that caused Chu Chi's nightmare was something even Meng Yan couldn't suppress, right?

The curtains moved despite the lack of wind, Zhou Shen's nose twitched, he suddenly stood up and looked around. There was nothing strange appearing, but he knew, something must have entered the room.

The dense corpse aura instantly filled the entire room, and the temperature inside the room seemed to have dropped by dozens of degrees.

If it was an ordinary person, not only would they not be able to smell the corpse aura, they would also not be able to feel the change in temperature. However, Zhou Shen was not an ordinary person.

Zhou Shen reached into his pocket to grab the metal box.

The Black Scaled Frog's Corpse Water was his weapon, and when applied to his eyes, it allowed him to see things that his eyes would normally not be able to see.

However, as he reached into his pocket the curtain suddenly flew up and wrapped around his arm, making it impossible for him to get the metal box containing the corpse water.

Ah!” Zhou Shen roared loudly, he exerted force with his hands, his strength was at least twice that of an ordinary strong man, ripping apart the curtains was not difficult at all.

To his surprise, a certain force seeped through the curtains, making it more difficult to tear.

A stream of black Qi appeared out of nowhere and enveloped his face, and then he felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been struck by something. Under the immense force, his body flew backwards, crashed into the wall, and then fell down.

The curtain fell off, enveloping him completely. The more he struggled, the more the curtain tightened around him.

”Chu Chi, Chu Chi!” Zhou Shen was shocked, and shouted loudly.

He didn't come with good intentions, so he wasn't his match at all.

Zhou Shen only called out once, before icy-cold snake-like tentacles wrapped around his neck, preventing him from making a sound. His eyes rolled back as all the strength in his body quickly dissipated and his mind became unclear. He could not tell where he was because of the various fragments of the image in front of him. It was as if he had entered a space-time whirlpool.

Memory revives and dissolves, and the will to resist is of course knocked out of existence.

”Die!” An ice-cold sneer sounded in Zhou Shen's ears.

Zhou Shen felt that his crotch liquid was flowing out, in that moment, his mind was finally clear, he knew that he was going to die.

The curtain was tightened, squeezed, shredded.

”I'm sorry.” Zhou Shen's head appeared from behind the curtain and he looked up at the ceiling. The face of the youth on top of it was extremely clear, and he spat out these two words from his heart, hoping to gain the other party's forgiveness.

that was his cousin who died in Cang Bay.

His cousin, however, was sneering at him, as if indifferent to his apology.

”Wooo!” A white object suddenly jumped out, jumping right in front of Zhou Shen's eyes.

At the same time, a blood-curdling screech filled the air.

Zhou Shen felt the pressure on his neck loosen, fresh air poured in, he bent over on the ground and took deep breaths. When he raised his head again, he saw the white shadow just now. It was the white cat lying beside Chu Chi.

All the hair on the white cat's body stood erect like thorns, and its entire body was like a fluffy cotton ball.

Zhou Shen coughed a few times, his stiff body regained some of his mobility. He took out the corpse water metal box, and trembled as he opened the stopper, and poured a few times, until it fell onto the ground. He did not hold it in his hands, and there was nothing he could do, nor did he care about the corpse water, which simply poured it all over his face, as he indistinctly started chanting an incantation.

His eyes, which were stained with corpse water, could finally see a different scene.

In the black gas, a snake-like slippery tentacle was hiding from the white cat's bite. It was covered in mucus, and had neither eyes nor mouth, but a whip. It did not panic as it stood and retreated, avoiding all of the white cat's bite.

The tentacle was sticking out of the wall, but it was only part of something, not everything.
