That Sister Is Very Beautiful, Eight Corpses

Facing danger, I felt utterly useless.

I actually needed Xu Qiuyan to protect me.

And at this moment, wasn't Xu Qiuyan also enduring inner torment?

I wondered, if it were me, and I was facing my parents or my grandfather, could I be as decisive as she was?

I didn't know.

Moreover, facing all of this, I seemed so powerless.

I didn't even know how to deal with it.

Seeing that "Grandma" was about to step into the circle, I don't know where the courage came from, but I suddenly rushed in front of her, extended my finger, and tapped her forehead: "Halt!"

She actually stopped moving, even the expression on her face froze.

I looked at my finger, what was going on?

The reason I did this was because I didn't want Xu Qiuyan to regret it, didn't want her to have any lingering issues.

I didn't want her to carry a lifelong burden, thinking she had caused her grandmother to be unable to ascend, unable to reincarnate. At that moment, my mind had only one thought: stop her from stepping into that circle. As long as she was okay, Xu Qiuyan's heart wouldn't be in turmoil, wouldn't die.

I succeeded.

But I was stunned.

How did I do it?

I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I thought.

I suddenly thought of something: just now, I said a word and the scythe in Abe's hand disappeared. Could it be that what I thought and did could change this dreamscape?

Or perhaps, although this was Zhuanghe's dreamscape, I could be the one in control.

Abe was clearly also controlling the dreamscape, but I seemed to be more powerful than him. His flustered appearance after losing his scythe was proof of that.

Thinking of this, I suddenly shouted: "Halt!" This time, I wasn't pointing at anyone, because in my heart, I wanted all these ghosts to stop.

The result was satisfactory; they all indeed froze.

"Go back, everyone!" I said again. Those figures gradually turned back into a mass of black mist, then slowly dissipated, including Xu Qiuyan's grandmother.

Xu Qiuyan looked at me in surprise. I, on the other hand, looked up at the sky: "Disperse!"

The blood-red color also slowly dispersed, and the world returned to its original appearance.

And at this moment, I saw Abe Ichinan, standing not far from us.

I still couldn't see his face, but I believed he must be very shocked at this moment.

"Kid, you can actually control someone else's dreamscape?"

I sneered, "What other tricks do you have? Bring them all out."

This time, I had confidence. I wasn't like Xu Qiuyan, who understood some kind of sorcery. My method was very simple: to dominate and change this dreamscape.

Abe Ichinan didn't speak, as if thinking about something.

I asked, "Are you that afraid of people seeing your true face?"

He snorted coldly.

I said again, "I want you to show your true face. I want to see what you really look like!"

Upon hearing this, he was greatly alarmed, and he quickly turned around and disappeared before our eyes: "Kid, you must die. I will definitely kill you!"

He had truly developed murderous intent towards me.

Just as I was about to say something, my vision suddenly brightened.

I found myself sitting on the sofa in Zhuanghe's house. I could even smell the stench of his dirty socks, which was nauseating.

Xu Qiuyan was sitting on a chair nearby, looking at me with a bewildered expression.

Zhuanghe, wrapped in a blanket, was also staring with wide eyes: "I dreamed of him again. I also dreamed that you two saved me and chased him away."

I looked towards Gu Song: "What just happened?"

Gu Song frowned: "Nothing much happened. You three just sat there in a daze without saying anything!"

"How long did it last?"

"How long? About one or two minutes. I tried talking to you, but none of you paid any attention to me. That kid said you were busy and told me not to disturb you." Gu Song pointed towards Yin Wuyu, who was still sitting on Zhuanghe's bed playing with his phone.

I walked over and snatched his phone away. He looked up at me: "I want to play Honor of Kings!" His face showed a hint of grievance, his eyes fixed on the phone.

"Mute, do you know what I was doing just now?"

"I know, fighting with someone."

I glanced at Xu Qiuyan. She was also looking at Yin Wuyu curiously. I asked again, "Do you know who the person fighting with me was?"

He didn't speak, pouting. He was angry.

"If you answer my question, I'll give your phone back."

Only then did he say, "I also want to buy candy!"

"Okay, I'll buy you one later when we go out."

"He's a big bad guy."

I was speechless; his words were as good as saying nothing.

"Answer my question seriously. What did he look like?"

"He was wearing black clothes, the clothes were really long, and there was a hat."

The black-robed figure's robe did indeed have a hood, and the black robe enveloped him.

However, the shock in my heart at this moment was indescribable. Yin Wuyu was clearly not in that dream, and Gu Song had also said that he had been sitting on Zhuanghe's bed playing games the whole time. Yet, he knew I was fighting the black-robed figure and even described the black-robed figure's attire perfectly.

"Was he holding a scythe?"

"Yes, he had a scythe, but then it was gone."

Zhuanghe turned to look at Yin Wuyu beside him. He subconsciously moved aside, putting distance between himself and Yin Wuyu. Clearly, he was also frightened by Yin Wuyu's behavior.

Xu Qiuyan was also unsettled. She asked, "Did you see what that person looked like clearly?"

"I want to eat chicken!" Yin Wuyu said impatiently.

Xu Qiuyan came over and gently stroked his head. "Good boy, tell big sister, did you see what he looked like clearly?"

Yin Wuyu sucked his finger. "That big sister is so pretty, her eyes speak."

"Big sister?"

Xu Qiuyan and I exclaimed in unison.

Yin Wuyu nodded. "Mm-hmm, boss, I want candy."

I handed him my phone. "Okay, I'll buy you some later." I knew I wouldn't get anything more by asking. It was already great that he could say the Onmyoji was a woman; I didn't dare hope he could draw what she looked like.

I believed him. Although I didn't know how he knew all this, since he could describe seven or eight tenths of what happened in the dream, then what he said was all true. Besides, he had no reason to lie to us.

I couldn't help but become a little curious about this kid. Sister Hong said he had some special abilities because he was sealed. This was perhaps part of his special abilities.

He was fearless of any illusions and unaffected by any phantoms. Was it because of this that he could see what Abe Ichinan looked like at a glance?

There was indeed such a possibility.

"Mr. Zhuang, can you tell me what exactly happened to you at Lop Nur?" I didn't dwell on Yin Wuyu's issue anymore. Our purpose for coming was to understand what strange things they had encountered at Lop Nur.

Although Gu Song and Xie Xiaotang were with them at the time, they had split up. Gu Song said that the anomaly occurred after Zhuanghe went to find the missing team member.

Hearing my question, Zhuanghe's eyes became very strange, and extreme fear showed on his face.

He bit his lip tightly, resisting. He was unwilling to talk about what had happened.

I said, "If you don't tell us, how can we help you?"

Xu Qiuyan also said, "No matter what you've experienced, please tell us. We won't tell anyone. Trust us, we're here to help you."

Xu Qiuyan's voice was very gentle.

Yin Wuyu put away his phone and looked at Zhuanghe with a confused expression. I felt his gaze suddenly become very sharp.

Suddenly, Yin Wuyu spoke, "Dead, they're all dead!"

Yin Wuyu jumped off the bed and hid behind me. He was very scared, and his body was trembling slightly.

I squatted down and looked at him. "Who's dead?"

Yin Wuyu pointed at Zhuanghe. "They're all dead, and him too!"

He pointed at Gu Song again.

Xu Qiuyan glanced at me, also shocked. She asked Yin Wuyu, "Why do you say that?"

Yin Wuyu didn't speak, just stared intently at Zhuanghe.

Zhuanghe looked at Yin Wuyu, trembling. His whole body shook violently.

"Demon, you're a demon!" Zhuanghe said this to Yin Wuyu.

I asked Zhuanghe in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhuang, are you still willing to talk now?"

Zhuanghe finally sighed. "We split up to look for A'wang. I was with Wu Zhou at the time. We walked to a wetland and found tents and a campfire there. We thought someone else was exploring Lop Nur like us, so we went over to see what was going on. Guess what we saw?"

I thought to myself, Guess my ass, I'm not a god.

But what he said next gave me goosebumps.

"I saw bodies. Eight bodies."
