Xu Dongyou stood blankly on the dark street, feeling that the world before him was extremely absurd and false.
He lowered his head to look at his hands, then looked up again, and after a while he slowly walked forward. A few minutes later, Xu Dongyou stopped again and looked down at his feet again.
His sluggish brain seemed to start working only at this moment, and Xu Dongyou slowly came up with a strange idea.
Where is his shadow
Why is it gone
Xu Dongyou turned around again, and after confirming that his shadow was indeed gone, he stood there in a daze for a long time.
The street was quiet and pedestrians were walking forward silently. Xu Dongyou noticed that he could not see the faces of the pedestrians at all, and he stood there alone, looking extremely abrupt.
An indescribable sense of crisis arose in my heart. I couldn't stand still, otherwise something terrible would happen.
Xu Dongyou instinctively moved his legs and walked forward. After walking for a while, something in his body seemed to wake up from its dormancy, and his chaotic brain instantly regained clarity.
Xu Dongyou suppressed the shock and confusion in his heart, pretended to have the same dazed expression as before and continued walking forward, but his brain was thinking frantically.
He remembered clearly that he was sleeping, but now he was inexplicably in this strange place. Most importantly, his shadow was gone.
Xu Dongyou secretly dug his fingernails into his palms, but felt no pain. This made him immediately conclude that he was most likely hallucinating, or... dreaming.
No matter which one it is, it doesn't seem like something a ghost could do.
Xu Dongyou tried to open the five gates and did not feel any danger. However, there was a very familiar disgust all around him, which was the aura coming from the evil spirit.
Coupled with the chaotic shadows of invisible faces around him and the equally gray world in the distance, Xu Dongyou's originally panicked heart calmed down a little.
This kind of evil spirit that can pull people into dreams or illusions is similar to the previous evil spirit that pulls people into the game.
As far as it stands, Xu Dongyou is not in danger for the time being. He tried again to stay where he was, but the crisis did not occur.
Xu Dongyou had a strange look on his face, and tried to close the five doors. However, the inexplicable crisis reappeared, constantly reminding Xu Dongyou that if he stayed where he was, he would be in uncontrollable danger.
Xu Dongyou naturally only believed in his own five principles, so he simply stood there motionless, allowing the crisis in his heart to grow stronger and stronger. Finally, it reached a peak, making Xu Dongyou feel frightened and he expected to die if he stayed there any longer.
Xu Dongyou suppressed his expectation and continued to wait.
It was not known whether the evil spirit realized that Xu Dongyou was indeed not going to move forward, the people around him also quieted down, and the gray faces without any facial features all stared at Xu Dongyou.
Although he has no facial features, Xu Dongyou can still feel the cold and sinister gazes coming from all directions.
This scene was truly bizarre, and since he didn't know where this place was, Xu Dongyou even had some thoughts of retreating, and his heartbeat quickened.
But when he thought about the possibility of encountering more strange and powerful evil spirits in the future, how could he back down because of what was happening right now
Xu Dongyou took a deep breath and continued to stand where he was.
Soon, countless standing shadows began to slowly approach Xu Dongyou and slowly raised their hands as if to strangle Xu Dongyou.
The crisis warning was even stronger than before, making him want to escape immediately. Xu Dongyou activated the five skills again, and the crisis disappeared in an instant. He could clearly feel that the evil aura was getting weaker.
This was enough for Xu Dongyou to understand what was going on.
He simply drove in this way until those figures actually pinched his neck and gradually tightened it. He clearly couldn't feel any pain, but he could feel the suffocation from the tightening of his neck.
Until he couldn't breathe smoothly and the world in front of him disappeared in an instant as if shattered glass. Xu Dongyou suddenly opened his eyes and found that it was the quilt wrapped around his neck that caused suffocation.
The room was clean and empty, including his shadow.
Xu Dongyou opened the five doors again, and was affected by the faint evil aura lingering in the house, especially on his face, which was full of gray evil sources.
This shows that evil spirits have indeed been into the house.
Xu Dongyou sat up, found the dagger on the table, pulled out the dagger and slashed it at the gray evil source.
The source of evil disappeared in an instant.
The house was clean again.
Xu Dongyou pursed his lips, feeling increasingly confused. He had been doing things according to routine these past few days, and hadn't noticed anything wrong. So how did he get possessed by the evil spirit
Xu Dongyou searched the entire room carefully, but found nothing. He could only wait until the next day to open the door again. He glanced at his parents to confirm that nothing was wrong with them. To be on the safe side, he asked them how they slept last night.
My parents said it was fine.
Xu Dongyou finally felt relieved and continued to work as usual, while also paying special attention to his surroundings. However, after a whole day, he still didn't find anything wrong.
It was as if this evil spirit was triggered by him for no apparent reason.
And at night, Xu Dongyou deliberately did not sleep the whole night, pretending that he was too addicted to playing games, but in the end nothing wrong happened all night.
On the third day, Xu Dongyou chose to sleep, and then as expected, he came to the gray world again. Countless people were still moving forward, and the inexplicable crisis was also hinting that Xu Dongyou should also move forward.
He didn't do as he was told and remained where he was. Countless people surrounded him and strangled him. When he finally woke up, Xu Dongyou discovered a black handprint on his neck.
His face looked a little grim. If he went forward, something bad would happen, but if he stayed where he was, it seemed that something bad would also happen.
In addition, he couldn't find any source of the evil spirit, so Xu Dongyou could only ask Tian Ze for help. Tian Ze was surprised and unbelievable after listening to him, "This shouldn't be the case. Let's go find the captain."
After Xu Dongyou told the captain what happened, the captain pondered for a while and began to use his abilities to test Xu Dongyou. He was good at the soul, so he checked Xu Dongyou's soul and found that his soul seemed to be entangled with a strange thing.
Something weird
Xu Dongyou came up with an idea and said, "I know what to do."
The captain nodded, and without asking why, he just said, "Come and find me if you need anything."
Xu Dongyou nodded, and then quickly went to the sealing formation. Zhulong was overjoyed to see Xu Dongyou, and then Xu Dongyou told Zhulong about the problems he encountered.
Zhu Long's face darkened when he heard this. He was no longer as angry as usual and only vented his anger by going crazy. He even suppressed the anger that was constantly boiling in his heart and said, "When I get out, I will definitely find the one who wants to harm you."
Xu Dongyou was stunned. "Is this someone or some other existence deliberately letting me be infected with evil power?"
This also explained why he was inexplicably attacked even though he hadn't touched or done anything in the past few days and there was no evidence of any evil power in his body.
If it was a person or something that deliberately harmed him, then everything would make sense.
Nowadays, Xu Dongyou's reputation is the highest among those who deal with the bureau, so naturally he is the easiest to be targeted.
But how did the other party do this
Xu Dongyou not only has dragon bones protecting him, but also has a powerful ability to predict the future, but he is completely unaware of the evil spirit that has entangled him.
Xu Dongyou suppressed his chaotic thoughts and told Zhulong about his plan. Zhulong calmed down and nodded, "It's feasible. Although my power is sealed now, as long as I am here, no evil spirit will dare to come to you again."
Xu Dongyou nodded, and then continued to chat with Zhulong as usual. When it was time to go to bed at night, he lay down, turned his head and said to the huge ancient Zhulong, "Good night."
"Good night."
Xu Dongyou closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly. After an unknown amount of time, he dreamed that he seemed to have come to a strange place again. However, before he could stop, the figures around him suddenly became frightened and disappeared screaming.
Xu Dongyou stood there blankly with his hand outstretched. A red-gold light emanated from his body, which was the unique aura of Candle Dragon.
Then, Xu Dongyou opened his eyes, still looking confused.
Zhulong had not slept the whole time, and now he began to explain to Xu Dongyou: "Your shadow just turned into a human figure, but it was wiped out by the dragon bone I activated in your body. The evil spirit has been solved."
Xu Dongyou suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he saw the power of Zhulong in his dream. He was also surprised that this evil incident was solved so easily.
But he still hadn't figured out who had brought the evil upon himself.
Zhulong said: "No matter who it is, the opponent will be attacked by my power and will die."
Zhulong's voice was calm yet cold, but Xu Dongyou could keenly sense Zhulong's anger towards "the other party".
Xu Dongyou quickly comforted Zhulong, "Luckily I found you. Besides, I'm fine now. Don't let others' anger affect your mood."
Zhulong swung his tail, knocking down the rubble from the mountain wall next to him. "Take these away for now, and let humans make you a decoration to put in your home to ward off evil spirits."
Xu Dongyou was stunned, feeling a little embarrassed but also extremely moved. Zhulong seemed powerful but actually careful. Even when he was going crazy, he was still extra cautious towards him.
Xu Dongyou always felt uneasy as he didn't know how to thank Zhulong and repay him.
"Thank you so much..."
Xu Dongyou's voice was so gentle that it made Zhu Long feel as if a feather was scratching his heart, making him feel itchy. At the same time, he inexplicably wanted to restrain Xu Dongyou, and then... and then he didn't know what to do.
This inexplicable yet bewildered feeling also made him feel a little irritated, but he didn't want to show it in front of Xu Dongyou, so he just replied, "You're welcome."
Xu Dongyou still felt very sorry. Zhulong had helped him so much, but he could only thank him with some snacks and gifts. He always felt that it was not enough.
Zhulong lowered his head upon seeing this and said, "If you really want to thank me, you can come and accompany me more often in the future."
He knew very well that Xu Dongyou had given himself as much time as possible, but it was still not enough.
I found myself becoming greedy and wanting more.
