I Persuade People With Reason

Fang Luo felt like he was dreaming.

No, it should be said that he was in a dream.

It's just that everything he experienced in this dream was so bizarre, so bizarre that he almost thought he had entered a dream in a dream, or was fascinated by an illusory dream from the very beginning, and everything he saw was an illusion.

Otherwise, this person in front of me has a mysterious origin. With just a simple and rude meal, he turned both beautiful dreams and nightmares into his own dishes and food, and he devoured several layers in one go. The dream, and the big guy who has scraped countless dream energy to make snacks, is it really not what he imagined in the dream?

...How could there be such a person in this world? !

No, no, Fang Luo suspects that he is not human at all.

When layers of dreams disintegrated before his eyes like shattered pieces of glass, and after repeating such a thing several times, Fang Luo had calmed down.

His expression changed from joy and anticipation at the beginning, to shock and disbelief at the back, to the calm and numb he is now. Does he even have time to worry about it? Will this big guy have a bad stomach and can't digest it.

With the passage of time, from one layer of dreams to another layer of dreams, such repetitive behavior even makes Fang Luo a little tired, but the young man walking in front of him is so calm and calm from beginning to end, it seems Nothing can break his cool, affect his state.

"This is playing with dolls. Broken? Layer after layer, who knows how many dreams there are in total! It's probably impossible for me to see us? It's impossible for us to go out." Fang Luo finally couldn't help sighing With a tangled expression, "...Boss, shouldn't we have been doing useless work?"

"How? Is it useless?"

Here is another layer of dreams. Light and light mist lingers around, everything you can see is surrounded by thick fog, and the young man's low voice spreads in the thick fog?

Fang Luo pricked up his ears all of a sudden, thinking that he had not made any important discovery, but he continued to say as a matter of course: "At least I have already eaten a lot, so it's not a loss at all."

"...?" Fang Luo's heart? The little flame that had just ignited in it was extinguished in a hurry.

The look he looked at Yuan Buwei was like that of a loyal minister who watched the emperor be bewitched by the sweet little demon concubine but was incapable of doing anything. He was extremely confused and distressed?

Fang Luo, who was retreating in front of Dessert Little Demon Concubine, sighed deeply, and returned to her listless, half-dead look: "...Forget it, when I am? I didn't say it."

At this time, Yuan Wei asked about his situation instead: "By the way, what's your name? How did you get involved in this anomaly before?"

Fang Luo: "???"

Well, I was used as a tool for free for a long time, and I don't even remember my name. It's very real.

At the same time as Yuan Buwei was talking, thousands of strands of dark smoke flew out from around him, and naturally flew into the dense fog around him. When it came out, the thick fog faded almost in a blink of an eye, like a long whale sucking the sea.

After a while, chaotic energy was condensed in the palm of the original, and it became his snack.

The whole process is very skilled.

Fang Luo, who was on the side, acted as usual, never giving any extra glances, just crying and laughing and answering the original question: "My name is Fang Luo, but I'm not a local here. Why? Unlucky is involved, and this has to start with my graduation trip..."

"...At the beginning, my four friends made an appointment to go on a national tour together, but we didn't know that there was an accident when we arrived at the third stop. Now we don't know where they went, did they leave?" Fang Luo complained incessantly, "Anyway, I am in this ghost place as soon as I wake up, and I haven't been able to touch a single person for so long!"

The white fog dissipated, and in the roar, the illusory world around them began to break again, and the two fell toward another layer of dreams, and the surrounding space shattered.

Even in such a state of weightlessness, Shi Shiran's voice, which wasn't meant to be careless, still came over, like gossip: "So, you haven't met anyone else in this dream? Didn't you say how many people were there in the first-floor dream? You didn't ask them if you were looking for your friends?"

"This...really? No." Fang Luo seemed to be awakened suddenly, recalled and said, "In fact, I haven't met a few people in the first layer of dreams. I just heard some movement from a distance. , When I arrived, the person seemed to have been dragged into the depths of the white mist by the beast and wiped out, leaving only a few traces. Several people are like this!" He shuddered.

...If it weren't for the fact that he didn't show up in time, maybe? He's going to be next.

The weightless body quickly stepped on the ground, the surrounding environment turned from virtual to solid little by little, and a faint silence suddenly spread.

After a few seconds, Yuan Buu said, "...That's right. I probably understand."

Fang Luo was at a loss, but listened to Yuan Buwei and asked suddenly, "Do you know Zhenxi Village?"

Fang Luo was stunned for a moment. As if recalling it in his mind for a long time, he frowned and said, "It seems to be a bit of an impression, maybe? I heard it somewhere."

As he spoke, the center of his eyebrows became more and more tightly wrinkled.

The young man's faint voice sounded in his ear: "You know? Pillow Creek Village is the source of this mutation, and the original dream began to expand outward from here. I thought you were on this trip? where."

There seemed to be some regret in his tone. It seems that it is a pity that I can't get more clues from Fang Luo.

Fang Luo's eyes froze for a moment.

Yuan Buwei said again: "Dream and reality always correspond to some extent. Since Zhenxi Village is the source of all the changes, if you can find the dreams of the villagers in Zhenxi Village, or, in other words, find the Zhenxi Village in the dream, maybe You can solve everything, and you can go home without a hitch."

Fang Luo was stunned: "Is it enough to find Zhenxi Village?"

"Of course." Yuan Buwei's tone has changed from speculation to complete certainty, "Just find Zhenxi Village."

Fang Luo was obviously overjoyed when he heard the news suddenly, he quickly looked at Yuan Buwei, and asked expectantly, "Then how to find it?"

"It's very simple, isn't it already? Have you found it?"

In the thick fog, Won Won suddenly laughed, took a few steps forward, and raised his hand.

Swah—

It was as if an invisible sword had slashed through the thick fog, or perhaps a layer of curtains had been pulled open. Fang Luo chased after him and ran out, and the surrounding scene had already changed drastically.

The dark night fell from the dome, and the distant mountains and the jungle interweaved layers of shadows, and the small village at the foot of the mountain was shrouded in thick fog.

There was a dead silence all around.

It was pitch black on all sides, and the whole village seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, without a single light on. Originally, the two of them stood on the road not far from the entrance of the village.

Under the cold moonlight, the whole village dragged out a long shadow, as if there was some kind of deep and terrifying atmosphere brewing in it, exuding a strong ominousness.

An extremely cold breath wafted out.

"This, here..." Fang Luo stood there for a while, his face turning pale. His legs stood still as if they were rooted, but the arms hanging by his side trembled subconsciously.

He glanced at him inexplicably for no reason.

Then, we have to walk to the village.

A voice suddenly came from behind and stopped him: "Wait, don't go! Dangerous!"

In the grass next to it, a figure strode away from the grass and came out.

It was a tall and slender young woman, with simple and neat short hair, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, but her face was dirty and had many scratches, making it impossible to see the original face.

She was equally embarrassed all over her body. Just by looking at the messy and broken clothes and the blood on her body, she knew that the other party must have experienced a hard battle not long ago.

She panted lightly and said quickly: "You are the people who are trapped in the outside world, right? Don't rush into the village! There is danger there!"

Yuan did not look at him: "What do you know?"

While the few people were talking, lights suddenly lit up in the village shrouded in thick fog, and a few barks could be heard faintly at the entrance of the village. It seemed that they sensed someone outside the village, and there were a few figures walking towards this side. , shouted to this side with a strong local accent: "Who is it?"

The girl's expression tightened, panting hard, she pulled up Fang Luo, who was standing still beside her, turned around and walked into the depths of the grass, urging: "Quick! Come with me!"

"...don't let them find out!!"

The three quickly ran towards the mountain. Yuan Buwei, who was at the back, was considered the most calm in action. As he walked into the depths of the jungle, he casually glanced back.

I saw that countless firelights had illuminated the village. In the firelight, more and more figures came out, standing in unison at the entrance of the village, looking towards the road.

Firelight illuminated their faces.

It was a stiff and pale face that did not contain any popularity, and they were all looking over here.

·

"Huh... I? My name is Lu Jing, who are you? How did you find the depths of this dream?" Away from the entrance of the village, the three walked in the forest, and the pace gradually slowed down. Lu Jing let go of her hand and turned around to ask.

Before the two could answer, she raised her eyebrows: "Since you can find this place through clues, you should also know what happened in this Zhenxi Village. Now it's a ghost nest, how dare you be so rash!"

Perhaps it was because of her special status, that she always unconsciously carried a sense of admonition when she spoke.

Fang Luo was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression: "What ghost nest? What clue? What happened here? We? That's how we came here."

As soon as he said this, Lu Jing was stunned: "You don't know anything? This is the deepest part of the dream. It's impossible for ordinary people to reach it. If you don't know it, how did you come in?"

Why didn't he push it away? A leaf stood in front of him, his tone was relaxed and his expression innocent: "... came in?"

Fang Luo also looked at her suspiciously, like an emotionless repeater: "Yes, I came in!"

Lu Jing: "...?"

Just talk, what does the question mark mean? It's very annoying.

She subconsciously remembered that since she entered the dreamland for three days, she and her three teammates had gone through untold hardships, resolved all kinds of strange dreams, and racked her brains to piece together the key key from the various scattered clues obtained, and finally reached this place by all means. experience at the place. Then, looking at the two innocent faces in front of me, I felt complicated.

As they walked forward, the three exchanged names again and exchanged some information briefly. In Fang Luo's narration, Lu Jing finally knew how the two "walked" in, especially since they had come all the way. "Great achievement"...

The way she looked at Yuan Bubei became more complicated.

"You should be an investigator from another branch, right?" Lu Jing was too lazy to keep concealing Fang Luo, an ordinary person, since she was already in a dream, so she asked bluntly, "By the way, I'm from the imperial capital. side."

Yuan Buwei nodded: "I came from Tianshui."

Lu Jing smiled relaxedly, and under Fang Luo's bewildered gaze, she unabashedly said everything she knew: "...the Zhenxi Village over there is the source of all the changes. , now it has been polluted, forming a place that is almost a strange area. I have three companions, who followed the clues to investigate this place together, but they were attacked in Zhenxi Village. Only me and another companion escaped. out, because he was seriously injured, I placed him here first."

Then, she went to investigate secretly alone, only to bump into Yuan Buwei.

When they were talking, before the three of them came to a cave, Lu Jing took the lead to open the vine and walked in.

In the cave, the man sitting on the ground leaning against the wall looked over vigilantly almost as soon as he heard the movement, and when he saw Lu Jing, his expression relaxed.

"Ayu, I? Let me introduce you, these two are..." Lu Jing walked over.

After a while, the four people who had known each other sat on the ground in the cave with a casual attitude. Lu Jing took a stick and drew a topographical map of Zhenxi Village on the ground. She was most delighted with Yuan Buwei's appearance: "With your participation, I will make a good plan to solve the ghost nest. The grasp is much better.”

After all, no one knows what could possibly happen to the investigator? What kind of strange sealed artifact appeared.

Fang Luo looked here and there, always feeling like a husky among wolves, he finally couldn't help but asked, "What is an investigator? Forget it, It's probably some kind of secret organization like the Dragon Group, so don't tell me?" He suddenly sneered, "However, why do you say that Zhenxi Village is a ghost nest?"

"Me? Let's talk." Ayu leaning against the wall coughed lightly and said in a hoarse voice, "To be honest, this place is too remote, almost isolated from the world. If it weren't for the mutation this time, people like Zhenxi Village would What exactly happened in the backcountry, we don't know."

"We still managed to piece together the cause and effect because we were looking for clues in the layers of dreams—on the day the mutation broke out, the entire Zhenxi Village was already killed! It is said that... it was the revenge of the evil spirits. ."

Yuan Buwei's expression was a little weird: "Evil ghost revenge?"

"Yes! Didn't we sneak into Zhenxi Village before? We found the truth there—"

"About four years ago, a group of college students who went out on a graduation trip seemed to have lost their way in the mountains. They accidentally came to Zhenxi Village and stayed here for the night. Unexpectedly, this village is backward Closed, there is a special kind of sacrifice - at that time, there was a beautiful girl or child among those students. Somehow, she was missed by an old bachelor. The girl and child hit her head in the resistance and died just like that. When this happened, the other three boys had to call the police at the time—of course, the police failed to report it. The people in this village were extremely xenophobic, and two were killed during the dispute. The last remaining one, because? Worried? He ran out and talked nonsense, they simply sacrificed their lives!"

As he spoke, Ayu clenched his fists tightly.

"...About a year ago, the world started to change, and there was also a problem in Zhenxi Village. It is said that the boy who was sacrificed alive at that time turned into a demon and came back. It was just a small fight at the beginning. Little trouble, later the power of the evil spirits became stronger and stronger, and then on the day the mutation happened, the entire Zhenxi Village was killed!"

Lu Jing frowned and added: "I don't know if it's a pure coincidence, or if the white mist mutation this time has something to do with the evil ghost. Anyway, the current Zhenxi Village is a ghost village, even if It is projected in a dream, and they are all a nest of ghosts. If you want to solve the source of the mutation, you must first solve this nest of ghosts."

Yuan Buwei suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was very soft: "Do you know the name of that evil ghost... the one who was sacrificed alive back then?"

Lu Jing and the two shook their heads. I'm afraid of those? The villagers don't know who the other party's name is. Where do they know?

Yuan Buwei didn't look at them, but raised his eyes and looked at Fang Luo who suddenly became very silent.

There was peace in his dark black pupils.

"Fang Luo, do you know?"
