At the same time.
Peripheral of Happiness Garden Residential Community.
The cold raindrops were like fine bead curtains, falling from the thick clouds in the sky. The withered yellow leaves fell helplessly to the ground under the raging wind and rain.
The world seemed to be shrouded in a strange layer of coldness. The coldness blew onto people's bodies and made them feel as if they were freezing to the bone.
A bit of mist even gradually rose on some car window glass, making the scene inside the car hazy.
Downstairs in the 18th building, the place has been cordoned off from the outside, giving off a tense and serious atmosphere.
Not long after, a black car slowly parked on the side of the road.
——Crack!
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties stepped out.
He was wearing a white suit, his hair was combed back, and he had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He exuded a unique aura.
What's quite strange is that even though he doesn't look too old, there are already some marks of different sizes on his neck.
These marks are completely different from the dark brown and black patches that are common in age spots, showing a frightening purple-red color.
This appearance is somewhat similar to corpse plaque. You must know that corpse plaque occurs after a person dies and the blood circulation stops, and the own blood is deposited in the blood vessels of the lower parts of the corpse due to the action of gravity.
The scars appear through the skin.
It usually begins to appear 2 to 4 hours after death. It is initially small and cloudy, and then gradually merges and expands, and the color will deepen over time.
Therefore, forensic doctors sometimes use body spots to determine the time of death of a body.
However, at this moment, such marks actually appeared on a living person.
But this man didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all.
He holds a yellow crutch in his hand. If you look carefully, you will find that the crutch is covered with some small lines. The lines look like human skin, with a trace of weirdness.
When they saw the man getting out of the car, the man who was already waiting, fully armed and wearing a helmet with khaki lenses, hurried forward.
He opened the black umbrella in his hand and said respectfully, "Lord Zhou Ze, you are here!"
Zhou Ze nodded slightly and looked at Happiness Garden Residential Area Building 18 on one side.
The surface of the building looked extremely dark and lifeless, as if it was shrouded in a huge shadow, and it seemed like it was in a fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
Zhou Ze frowned slightly and asked, "How is the situation?"
Hearing this, the man shook his head helplessly and said in a low tone, "The situation is very bad. The neutrino index concentration here is still rising. Although the scope is currently limited to this building, the concentration is already three times the previous nightmare codenamed 'Granny Cat'!"
While saying this, he picked up an object that looked like a mobile phone in his hand. The difference with the One and Only was that it had a long, antenna-like component on it.
This is actually an instrument specially developed for nightmares and used to detect the intensity of nightmares.
It can perform corresponding statistics and analysis based on the special fluctuations emitted by nightmares.
Although sometimes the test results may not be completely accurate, they still have certain reference value.
Similar are the helmets they wear and the lenses on them. These equipment can block the interference of Nightmare power to a certain extent, allowing people to see some conditions where the nightmare occurs.
"So high?"
Zhou Ze After hearing this, his brows knitted together tightly.
The nightmare codenamed 'Granny Cat' is a Nightmare Incident that happened next door to Taiyuan City.
The appearance revealed in his nightmare is that of an old lady wearing white clothes with a withered face.
At night, she would appear randomly on various streets in the city, stopping people to ask if they had seen her cat.
No matter how the passers-by answered, they would end up being eaten by her while they were sleeping in the middle of the night.
He has also seen the detailed information of this Nightmare Incident.
In the end, the person in charge of Dayuan City paid the price of an arm to completely solve the problem.
Thinking of this, he asked again.
"Has anyone come out from inside?"
"No, from the beginning to now, we have tried various methods, but we can't get in at all, as if we were hit by a ghost.
So far, there has been no movement inside. Those people inside may be..."
After talking about it, the man's tone became more serious.
There are two units in a building, and there are ten households on each floor. Calculating this, even if there is only one person in each household, there must be at least three to four hundred people. These are all living lives.
"You just wait outside, don't let anyone get close to here, I'll go in and take a look! If I haven't come out after half an hour, then you disperse the people within five kilometers of here, and then report it to the headquarters immediately!"
Zhou Ze ordered with a serious look.
"You mean, this... this nightmare will continue to spread?"
The man paused for a moment, then asked with a look of horror on his face.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
Zhou Ze shook his head, and after saying that, he raised his legs and walked towards Happiness Garden Residential Area Building 18.
Soon, when he walked within 20 meters of the 18th building, an invisible force seemed to appear out of thin air.
It blocked his steps abruptly, making his forward movement gradually become sluggish.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Ze still looked indifferent.
I saw him calmly raising the crutch in his hand and tapping it lightly on the ground.
The next moment, the thick fog like ink slowly parted to both sides.
A crack appeared in front of him.
At the same time, the color of the corpse spots on Zhou Ze's neck became more and more purple, and the size of the corpse spots also suddenly increased.
This is the price he has to pay for using this crutch Dream Eye. Every time he uses it, his body spots will expand.
Once the corpse spots cover his entire head, the only thing waiting for him is death. By then, he will completely turn into a real corpse.
"If this mission can be successfully solved, the accumulated points should be almost enough to apply and let the headquarters help try to control the second Dream Eye!"
Zhou Ze subconsciously touched the spot with the corpse spots on his neck, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and then he resolutely raised his legs and walked into the mist.
After he passed by, the fog gathered behind him instantly.
The road behind him was quickly wrapped tightly again.
And Zhou Ze disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing this scene, the man who spoke first became more solemn. He took out his cell phone without hesitation and pressed the time button.
Since Lord Zhou Ze has given instructions, it is natural that the order must be strictly followed.
On the top of the building, on the dim rooftop.
The cold wind mixed with the icy raindrops hit the ground of the rooftop wantonly, making a crackling sound. The sound echoed in the open environment, adding to the coldness.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the wall of one outer building and landed on the rooftop.
It is Hu Qi.
After he appeared, he just stood there quietly.
As if waiting for something.
Not even a few seconds had passed.
Just a few meters in front of him, the old iron door made a loud bang.
Immediately afterwards, he was hit hard by a powerful and arrogant force.
The iron door flew out and hit the railing on the side, making a loud bang.
The next moment.
A figure walked out of the dark corridor.
It was Butcher wearing a black raincoat, holding the giant hammer that was still dripping with blood in his right hand.
When its pair of glowing red eyes fell on Hu Qi in front of him, which was half a head taller than him, it couldn't help but pause.
