Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"I'll call his home and send him back. Please help me take care of him first."

In the barbecue restaurant with mixed lights and drinks, Chen Zekai glanced at Su Ruoyang, who was drunk like mud, and Chen Yun, who was next to him with an expression that had nothing to do with me, and shook his head helplessly. He moved the phone to his ear and walked out of the barbecue shop.

"Hello? Is that Su Luoyang's father?"

There was an unspeakable depression on the other end of the phone, and Su Ruoyang's father only answered Chen Zekai briefly with a "hmm".

"That's right. Su Luoyang is drunk. Is uncle at home now? Can you take him home?"

"Oh~ are you drunk? That's perfect timing."

The voice suddenly changed from a low-pitched male voice to a frivolous female voice, and Chen Zekai suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. However, when he reacted, there was only a monotonous "beep" sound in his ears.

Chen Zekai glanced at the notification that he had been hung up on the screen, turned around and wanted to go back to the barbecue restaurant, but saw Chen Yun forcefully pulling Su Ruo into the kitchen. The chef seemed to have accommodated a long time ago, and opened the door to let them pass through.

"Where are you going?!" Chen Zekai shouted, but got no answer, he gritted his teeth and rushed into the barbecue shop, "Why are everyone so strange... What the hell is going on..."

When he quickened his pace to pass through the kitchen, the chef suddenly stopped in front of Chen Zekai. A strong arm grabbed Chen Zekai's shoulder and pushed him back. The force was so great that Chen Zekai almost bumped into the table behind.

Since Chen Zekai is not allowed to enter, but Chen Yun can easily enter, it means that not everyone can enter here. Chen Zekai recalled that this location was chosen by Chen Yun. Thinking about his strange behavior, it is very likely that it was planned long ago, so Su Luoyang is very likely to be in danger.

Thinking of this, Chen Zekai immediately turned around and ran out of the barbecue shop, and ran in around the alley next to him. When they got to the place that was suspected to be the back door of the barbecue shop, they hurriedly turned out, only to see Su Ruoyang locked in an old van covered with advertising stickers.

"Hey! What are you doing!?"

Hearing Chen Zekai's shout, instead of stopping, the people in the car slammed the door shut, and the car body rushed forward and drove towards the narrow path. Chen Zekai ran up instinctively to stop the vehicle, but someone hit him on the head with a stick, and the dizziness made him fall into the mud immediately.

"Don't meddle in your own business."

Chen Yun's tone of voice was not as good as before, which sent chills down Chen Zekai's spine. The van driving far away gradually blurred in his vision, and Chen Yun didn't stay any longer, turned around and entered through the back door of the barbecue shop, and disappeared in front of Chen Zekai.

Chen Zekai struggled to get up on the muddy floor, his vision was shaking so much that he was dazzled. He glanced down at his muddy clothes and cursed angrily, then took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

the other side. Xia Yinci glanced at the number displayed on the screen, picked up the phone suspiciously, and stuck it to her ear.

"Hi, is that Xia Yinci?"

Dazed, Chen Zekai supported the wall and walked out of the narrow alley. His dizzy brain made him stop and lean against the wall, covering the side of his head that had been hit. Seeing that the beeping sound of the phone notification was finally replaced by the sound of the sea breeze, his mood also slightly improved from anxiety.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Xia Yinci's slightly distant voice, Chen Zekai was inevitably relieved. He understood that the people who took Su Luoyang away were not ordinary street gangsters, and they might also target Xia Yinci, who was walking very close to Su Luoyang, but maybe it was because Xia Yinci was not alone, and she was still safe and sound.

Chen Zekai took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and said clearly:

"Xia Yinci, listen to me... Just now Su Ruo closed him up, and was taken away by a group of strange people."

＊＊＊

"Hmph, you bastards, let me... watch the ball!"

The barbecue by the beach sizzles and makes a splash. The boy standing in the shallow sea jumped up, swung his powerful right hand, and the volleyball hit the opposite direction of the net beautifully, but the volleyball that the boy thought no one could catch, was counterattacked back forcefully, as if A thunderbolt struck across the sea.

A few seconds later, the boy couldn't help covering his right arm that was about to catch the ball, he cried out in pain, and squatted down embarrassingly.

"Sorry... did I push too hard?"

The "culprit" who caused the tragedy of the young man's right arm showed a somewhat innocent expression at this time. She shook her lavender eyes, and her slightly raised right eyebrow clearly indicated that "it won't hurt to such an extent." Right," a slightly sarcastic thought.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"No...you didn't seem to remind us when you smashed the ball with all your might."

"Cough!"

This is the urban area closest to the ocean in Haibin City—the F area called "Hai Lin District" by the locals.

Now, high school students from a nearby high school have chosen this weekend and come here for a one-day, one-night ultra-short trip.

But Xia Yinci didn't seem to be interested in sea volleyball, so she quietly walked away from those people. The crystal-clear blue sea rolled up to the shore from time to time, slapping the girl's knees submerged under the sea level. The gradually darkening sky also dyed the sea surface dark blue.

The sound of the waves, the sound of the clouds moving, the surrounding noise and the swaying of the sea. Xia Yinci stopped in her tracks and sat down on the spot. The cold sea temperature made Xia Yinci's mood gradually improve, and she felt a little more comfortable.

"For the time being, I'm a little concerned about Su Ruoyang's situation now... But Su Ruoyang's tone is really too much! I'm so annoying, this guy is really good—it's troublesome."

While coquettishly complaining to herself, Xia Yinci lifted her body up and floated on the surface of the water, soaking her earlobes in the water.

She looked at the swaying stars, and the sound of sea water made her close her eyes in peace.

"In response to the order of the "King of Stealing Dreams", I will pardon you from your life—"

Suddenly, a voice seemed to come from the depths of her brain, causing her to sit up suddenly. The comfort just now disappeared without a trace, and all the sounds by the sea were covered by the pounding heartbeat. She looked around her surroundings in a trance, always feeling uneasy twitching in her chest.

Xia Yinci finally stood up, waded across the water and walked quickly to the bank. When she had just reached the shore, there was a faint ringing of bells under the twilight-stained side umbrella, accompanied by vibrations.

The girl was stunned for a moment as she squeezed her black hair wet with sea water. She bit her lower lip, and the biting place turned a little white due to the force. After thinking about it, she still picked up her mobile phone. The calling number is Chen Zekai's cell phone number that I wrote down just now.

She remembered that Chen Zekai said not long ago that he was a little worried about Su Ruoyang's situation, so he went to find him. What does this call mean? Xia Yinci still couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to pick up the phone and whispered it to her ear.

"Hi, is that Xia Yinci?"

"Hmm. What's wrong?"

There was a brief pause on the phone. It sounded like Chen Zekai's tone was a bit weird, and his voice was also weak, not like the ones we usually see in school.

"Xia Yinci, listen to me... just now Su Ruo closed him, and was taken away by a group of strange guys!"

The moment Chen Zekai's voice fell, both sides fell into an abnormal silence for a moment.

Then the silence was broken by Xia Yinci first.

"Hello? Where was Su Luoyang taken away?"

Hearing this, Chen Zekai looked around, and before he knew it, he had already walked out of the alley, and the barbecue shop was still filled with an ordinary atmosphere. The diners were chatting and laughing, making it completely suspicious that a suspected kidnapping incident had occurred here just a few tens of minutes ago.

"It's the place where we met and had dinner before——the back door of that barbecue restaurant... Do you want to come over?"

"Hmm. Can you tell me the characteristics of those people?"

"Let me think about it..." Chen Zekai rubbed his dizzy forehead, took a deep breath and said, "They were driving a very old van. There seemed to be two people in it besides Su Ruoyang, One is a girl of about the same age, and the other is a man in his middle age, wearing a hat."

"Okay, thank you, I will remember."

"It's also my fault that I didn't realize it earlier... This barbecue restaurant was originally chosen by Chen Yun, who has always been silent. This time he took the initiative to find us, I should have felt that something was wrong... But I thought he just wanted to take this opportunity to blend in. In the circle of classmates, I... I don't know what he wants to do."

Chen Zekai didn't know what he said without beginning or end. He thanked Xia Yinci for not hanging up the phone yet. At this time, he just wanted to find someone to confide his feelings to, even if it had nothing to do with Xia Yinci, whom he was not familiar with.

"Well, I know, it's not your fault. Judging from your tone, you seem to be injured, right? If it's serious, go to the hospital. You don't have to worry about the aftermath. Thank you anyway notice me."

"Wait a minute... Those people don't look like ordinary street bastards, you..."

Xia Yinci did not continue to listen to Chen Zekai's advice, and hung up the phone directly. When she turned around, Su Erin was walking right in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Su Huilin probably noticed Xia Yinci's strange expression, her delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned. "Is it Su Luoyang's call?"

"Xiao Lin, have you been able to contact your father recently?"

Su Huilin didn't expect Xia Yinci to suddenly ask about this, so she couldn't help being stunned.

"He seems to have something to do with my mother, and he's not at home recently. But they contacted my brother in the morning."

"You try to call now." She said and took a step closer to Su Erin, urging her to take out her mobile phone.

Su Huilin hesitantly took out her mobile phone and dialed her mother's number, but there was a reminder that the other party's mobile phone was not turned on. After that, she called Su Guokai again, and they were greeted in a similar situation.

Xia Yinci didn't know whether it was the Core Research Association or the dream stealers who were after Su Ruoyang. But the current situation of not being able to get through the phone seems to be more inclined to the former.

"Xiaoyin, what happened? Why do you ask me this? Did something happen to my brother?"

Su Huilin vaguely recalled a certain feeling of deja vu, and her lavender pupils trembled slightly. Xia Yinci didn't answer her, but took her hand and walked to the place where the clothes were kept. She picked up the bag that Su Huilin had brought and handed it to her, and Su Huilin gently caught it.

"Let's go back to Xiao Lin first. Su Ruoyang is indeed in trouble. But as for what happened... I can't tell."

Next to the stone marked "Urban Beach" in red letters, the girls are waiting for the arrival of the bus under the stop sign. However, after a long time, it was not a bus that stopped in front of the girl, but a taxi with the windows slowly pulled down.

"I saw the two of you waiting for a long time from the opposite side...Recently, due to the warning of the bombing attack, the last bus on Saturday was brought forward to 6 o'clock, so it is impossible to wait for the bus now. How about it, do you want me to give you a ride? "

Xia Yinci realized that this was a "black car", she hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that she had no other choice, so she got into the car with Su Huilin.

"Let's go to Rong Tan Street. Is it convenient?"

"Okay~"

The driver responded casually, and put his hands back on the steering wheel, like a soldier who had rested for a long time before going to the battlefield, eager to show off his superb combat skills. He waited for the girls to close the car door, then stepped on the gas pedal enthusiastically.

Driving all the way to the arterial road where various urban areas intersect, the scenery outside the window gradually stagnates at the front end of the street near the intersection, and the traffic signal light turns red. Xia Yinci looked at the message she had sent to Su Ruoyang on the screen of her mobile phone, but she didn't reply for a long time.

"For the time being, I'm a little concerned, you two girls are going to Rong Tan Street so late... What do you want to do?"

"...Let's get off here."

"Hey, it's fine if you don't want to answer... I'm just asking casually, no matter what you do, I won't call the police!"

After hearing this, Xia Yinci let go of the car door handle, and turned her gaze out of the window again. The two girls stopped talking, and watched the windows on both sides of the car, each feeling restless and anxious.

The traffic light turned green, the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove forward leisurely. But at this moment, the abnormal movement on the road broke the cold air nearby.

Su Huilin pressed the button next to her and pulled down the car window, only to see that on the road in the other direction, the window of a certain car was shattered with glass residues all over the place.

In the passenger seat of the van sat a girl carrying a bag of potato chips, a middle-aged man wearing a gray top hat in the driver's seat, and a girl in a black dress who broke into the car. The body of the car wobbled on the road.

Xia Yinci immediately remembered the characteristics of those people that Chen Zekai had just described. Just as she was about to say something, the van with the broken window suddenly stepped on the accelerator and rushed out in the direction of the taxi.

Su Huilin rolled up the window out of instinct, and the next second the solid body of the car slammed into the back of the taxi they were sitting in. Then, at the same time as the van rushing past blew its horn, Xia Yinci slammed into the glass window violently due to the bumps of the car, and instantly felt a strong sense of dizziness.

"Hey... are you two okay?"

The driver avoided the threat of the sudden collision due to the involvement of his seat belt. He quickly turned his head, only to see a smear of blood dripping from Xia Yinci's forehead. On the other hand, Su Huilin next to her just bumped into the car door and bumped a bit, but she seemed to be safe and sound.

Xia Yinci resisted the feeling of dizziness in front of her eyes, and said in a weak tone:

"I'm fine, master... Please catch up with that car..."

"What... what? But you're bleeding..."

Seeing the driver's reluctance, Xia Yinci stretched out her small hand and gently grabbed Su Huilin's shoulder, as if signaling her something. And Su Huilin clenched her lower lip, and raised her eyes to look at the driver.

"Listen to her... please go after her!"

"Tsk. Don't blame me for what happened!"

The driver gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator, and the black car chased after him with its rear tires dangling. In addition, there was another van in the front position, which was closely following the van that made a fuss like the one the girls took.

At this moment, Su Erin picked up the bag on the side, unzipped the zipper, and took out a white bandage from inside. She vaguely heard Xia Yinci's weak laughter.

"Do you still have this with you..."

"Hmm... I always carry emergency medical materials... It's a habit I've had since then."

The van not far away crossed the intersection and continued to shuttle back and forth dangerously among the traffic, and even the thrilling gunshots sounded on the city highway. Su Huilin ignored the movement outside the window, moved to Xia Yinci's side, and carefully treated the wound on her head. Xia Yinci smiled lightly and raised the corners of her mouth, then unconsciously blurred her consciousness.

"Damn...what the hell is going on here!"

The driver cursed secretly, and the horn of a heavy-duty truck sounded outside the window at this moment. The truck couldn't stop and crashed into the figure protruding from the van. Dark red blood gushed out like splashed paint, and the next The piercing sound of brakes made the driver instantly aware of what had happened.

"Ahem...uh..."

The driver, who couldn't bear the nausea, almost vomited out of his stomach. At this time, the van also seemed to have stopped because of the driver who lost his driving, and stopped beside the street amidst screams.

"parking!"

Su Huilin's sudden instructions made the driver slam on the brakes, and the car body followed the van in front to stop on the side of the road. Su Huilin put the money she had prepared on the passenger seat, and hurriedly opened the car door.

"There is no need to change the money, please send her to the hospital again, Master!"

After Su Huilin finished speaking, she got out of the car and slammed the door. The driver looked at the blood stained on the front window in a daze, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful that he had just driven the car next to the two girls.

Pedestrians who watched the excitement had already gathered at the place where the accident happened just now, and Su Huilin walked against the flow of people with difficulty.

The car that was chasing the van with them also got off, and many people chased to the alley. Su Huilin understood that they were chasing Su Ruoyang, so he must be not far ahead. She quickly pushed aside the crowd around her and chased after him.

At the same time, Su Huilin saw two young girls fighting in the van, and one of them was someone she knew. But now she has no time to take care of the situation over there, only to see the girl in the black dress rushing out of the car window, and ran into the nearby alley.

Su Huilin retracted her gaze and got rid of the noisy crowd around her, but when she ran into the alley not far away, a dangerous silver light pierced her in the face. Su Huilin instinctively lowered her body and dodged, turned around and kicked up the trash can in the direction of the passerby.

The trash can that was kicked into the air waved down the old newspapers, and the visitor who was blocked by this quickly stretched out his hands, removed the wrapping paper covering his face and threw it aside. And when his vision recovered, the sharp knife in his hand had been snatched by the girl at some point.

The icy gaze from that lavender pupil pierced the center of his field of vision,

"Heh.. Sure enough, I didn't admit my mistake. The ruler of the number two clock——"The Golden-haired Demon", I remember you."

"I don't know anyone with that name..."

Su Huilin casually fiddled with the sharp knife she had snatched from her hand, and at the same time responded nonchalantly.

"Tell me, what did you do to the Dark Knight?"

These words made Su Huilin's eyes fall back to him, she looked up and down the man, and the corner of her mouth raised a curve.

"Oh, I remembered. You are that dream stealer who calls himself the 'Star of Light Speed'."

"Tell me what you did to him!!"

Su Huilin shrugged nonchalantly, as if she didn't intend to continue entangled with him. She casually threw the sharp knife back to him, turned around and left, regardless of whether the other party would catch up or not.

In fact, Star of Lightspeed gritted his teeth resentfully as he watched her leaving. to her.

However, the girl's body always exudes a vague sense of terror and oppression, which really makes him feel abnormally depressed. While he was still hesitating whether to go forward again, Su Huilin's figure had disappeared from his vision.

He turned to the direction of the alley irritably, raised his hand and gently pressed his fingers to his ear.

"I lost both targets on my side, how is the situation on your side?"

A voice of inquiry came from the earphones, Lightspeed Star adjusted his tone, and while looking into the depths of the alley, he replied:

"I lost track too."

alley. Su Huilin clenched her fist lightly, the expression in her eyes was slightly dim.

Same as the last time I came here, at that time, Su Huilin also felt that her body was a little bit out of control, and the deeper she went to Rongtan Street, the more difficult it was to control her strength, and she felt like she was gradually losing consciousness. It's like coming from reality to dream. And this time this feeling is more obvious than last time. Therefore, she deliberately avoided other people in the alley, but inevitably ran into a few dream stealers head-on.

Of course, it was not difficult for her to deal with these people.

"This guy is also the ruler of clock number two, don't let her run away."

Perhaps it was because he would not be able to return home empty-handed. The dream stealers who had run into walls locked on Su Huilin who broke into the alley, and blocked her on the way to Rongtan Street. It's just that before they had time to make a move, the girl was the first to approach close to the field of vision.

The girl's slightly stretched and straight palm seemed to turn into a blade, and swung towards the speaker's neck. The sharpness of the attack directly caused his head to be separated. Then she turned around quickly, drawing an arc in the air with her palm, and the heads of the three people behind her were chopped off immediately.

The rest of the people obviously couldn't believe what they saw. And the girl took advantage of the gap between them to lock on the next target. She raised her slender palm and slapped one of them on the chest. The person was immediately pushed to the wall, and with a loud noise, it was embedded into the wall, and fell down. Blood gushed out of his mouth for a second. In fact, this palm had already shattered his internal organs, so Su Huilin simply ignored him and turned to the remaining three.

The breath of crisis made them want to retreat for a while, but the unwillingness from the bottom of their hearts made them charge towards the girl with their daggers.

"I wanted to let you go."

Su Huilin sighed as if feeling sorry. But she didn't mean to be soft-handed at all. First, she firmly held the dagger stabbed by the first person with only two fingers, and then deformed it with a little force on her fingers, and then she swung her right hand. palm, easily pierced the opponent's chest, and tore his body apart with a split to the right.

Then she turned sideways, aimed at one of the men's jaws, and raised her leg to kick upwards with all her strength. The opponent's body was instantly distorted by this abnormal force, and the scars were torn from the neck. At the same time, Su Huilin swung another powerful punch through him, the penetrating power directly passed through the man's body, and reached the chest of the last remaining man, piercing his chest fiercely. The battle ended in just a few seconds.

"Oh my, it's really exciting."

Applause for the show and the crunching of potato chips resounded at the alley. Su Huilin looked over there, and saw a girl walking over with a bag of potato chips.

"Hey, why don't you... let me stretch my arms and legs?"

As soon as the words fell, the laziness in the girl's eyes instantly turned into a fierce light, and her body approached Su Huilin like thunder. And Su Huilin took a step back to the side to get out of the way, but unexpectedly the girl kept up with her speed, and took the lead in slapping Su Huilin. But Su Huilin finally reacted, and squatted down to avoid the blow, so the girl's palm hit the wall in vain, making a clear palm print on the wall.

The girl then turned around again, jumped up with all her might, raised her legs and directly strangled Su Huilin's neck, the tightened muscles of her legs indicated that she was about to cut off Su Huilin's breath. Unexpectedly, Su Huilin was not affected at all, she grabbed the girl's calf, and with a little force between her palms, it made a click, and then the girl was easily thrown away.

She tried hard to stand firm, but the blond girl in front of her had already counterattacked and sprinted over, her fists pointing directly at her face. The girl quickly raised her right fist to block, but unexpectedly, the moment she collided with her, her hand seemed to hit steel. The terrifying destructive power penetrated the girl's entire right arm in an instant, and before she could feel the pain, Su Huilin Another powerful palm directly slapped her chest. The girl hastily clasped her arms, but the force of this palm still hit her internal organs almost penetratingly. Resisting the sharp pain, she jumped back, jumped up and kicked the wall with her right foot, taking herself off the ground, and finally she stepped on the wall directly and wanted to slip up.

Seemingly aware of the opponent's desire to escape, Su Huilin swung a palm and hit the pillar of the building, and the shattered pillar instantly spread the collapse in all directions. But the girl is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. She was the first to realize the danger, and she has already quickened her pace, rushed to the roof and disappeared from Su Huilin's sight.

Su Huilin didn't plan to chase after her. She retracted her gaze and sighed softly, then turned and left the narrow alley.

once Upon a time. She experiences this kind of scene almost every day, so Su Huilin inevitably thinks of the dark and bloody time in junior high school. She was often involved in such situations on her own initiative at the time.

At first, she was displeased because she saw the domineering gangsters on the street, and then she unknowingly did something like a scavenger at night. She made different judgments for others according to her own judgment. As a result, she It's been like this. It wasn't until high school that all this came to an end.

Up to now, she still doesn't know whether her behavior is right or wrong, and she doesn't know why she did it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she might just be at a loss.

As for the gift given by the girl who claimed to be the "creator", she actually became more and more suspicious of its pros and cons. Passing through the alley, Su Huilin's vision is filled with the unique bustling scenery of Rongtan Street, which is like a different world. She looked around for a week, then walked in the direction of the Memory Core Research Association.
