Hao Ren retrieved a bunch of black wolf fur from the ground by a street lamp, and felt that the cold sweat was seeping from his forehead, but fortunately, he had encountered a lot of evil things in the past two days, and his nerves He has grown a little bit, he has not been lost by the current weird situation, the first thing he does after calming down is to confirm that there are no suspicious "visions" around him - this is the experience he got after spending two days with Lily and Vivienne "Heterogeneous" activities will always be accompanied by obvious visions, such as Lily's oppressive breath of beasts and Vivienne's bloody cold wind. He feels that the situation that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or something just now may also be related to the heterogeneous. But after looking around, he didn't find anything unusual, and his sixth sense, which has always been supernatural, didn't move. "Landlord?" Lily blinked, her unusually bright eyes were a little strange in the night, "What's wrong?"

"Do you think there are...strange things around here?" Hao Ren suddenly remembered that wolves are creatures that are very sensitive to danger, and by the way, he also remembered the terrifying scene of the wolves pounced on him before he was awakened from the nightmare, but he shook his head. Putting aside the second thought, "Like other 'heterogeneous' or something." Lily sniffled, lay down on the ground and sniffed carefully under Hao Ren's speechless gaze, then stood up and shook her head: " No, they are all familiar smells, and no strangers have been here. Landlord, have you encountered a situation?"

"Let's talk when we get back." Hao Ren clenched the hair in his hands, and walked towards the house. Lily followed behind, but she still didn't forget to pick up the recliner and take it home—she was indeed the caretaker of the nursing home. good hand.

In the living room, Hao Ren was sitting on the sofa with a solemn expression, facing Lily who was confused and Vivian who was full of curiosity, and "Roll" sitting next to him, and the "family of four" was complete. Because the coffee table at home was destroyed by two supergirls, a slightly old low table was placed in front of everyone. Hao Ren put the black wolf hair on the table and looked into Vivian's eyes : "I encountered a strange thing."

Next, he recounted the previous strange dream in as much detail as possible, especially focusing on describing the endless prairie and the two silver moons in the "dream", and finally pointed to the wolf fur on the table: " I have this in my hand after waking up, do you think I did a high-speed and cheap version of time travel, or did I accidentally master the ability of fantasy to distort reality?" Vivienne frowned and ignored Hao Hao. She teased nonchalantly, picked up a few wolf hairs and sniffed them under her nose: "The smell of a wild beast, and there is no trace of black magic. This thing is indeed made from a natural animal. The big one over there Dog, you have a better nose, come and smell this."

Lily snorted, put the wolf fur under her nose and took a deep breath: "It seems that the wolf smell is different from what I am familiar with, and it does have a... different smell from this city. There is a smell of earth and grass mixed in. Inside, only werewolves can distinguish such subtle things." After a while, she finally realized, and slapped the table: "Wait, who did you just say is a big dog?!"

"Hey, take it easy!" Hao Ren looked at his broken table distressedly. Fortunately, now that Lily is in human form and she hasn't touched the real thing, this table won't be scrapped like the coffee table. Then he looked at Vivian: "Then what do you think is going on? Is this so-called magic?"

"It's easy to explain a simple dream, and all kinds of illusions and hypnosis can achieve the same effect." Vivienne still frowned, "I can weave a dream that is big enough for hundreds of people to sleep together, and when you Before waking up, you will never realize that you are dreaming. If you put on someone with rich imagination, you will definitely think that you have time-traveled. But you brought something out of the dream... There is no way to explain this, anyway, the magic I know There is nothing that can do this. Of course, it may not be magic, the world of the dark side is very complicated, and my knowledge is limited.”…

"Actually, it might be like this," Lily interjected suddenly, her face brimming with interest, "First use illusion or hypnotism to make the landlord have a nightmare, set the content of the nightmare, and then sneak into him while he is sleeping. Touch it and stuff these wolf hairs into his hands..."

After listening in a daze, Vivienne couldn't help the corners of her mouth twitching: "Can you stop spoiling the atmosphere like this?"

Hao Ren thinks that Lily's statement is quite reasonable. Apart from the pain in the egg, it can perfectly solve the current problem. How should I say this, the second-hand has a second-hand world view, and usually it is simple, rude and very easy to use...

However, Lily also confirmed that there was no smell of strangers left at the scene, so this painful guess is not very convincing.

"Anyway, I can be sure that what happened to me is not normal. Anyway, the natural environment will definitely not allow me to have a dream in which fantasy erodes reality." Hao Ren sighed, "I have more or less resigned myself to my fate. If there are too many lice, it doesn't itch and debts don't worry. Come here if you have any evil stuff—but before that, I have to find a way to make myself survive safely, and be with you super creatures...or I will die!"

Both Vivienne and Lily knew that Hao Ren signed a labor contract with a woman who claimed to be a god and was tied to a pirate ship, so this time they didn't mention the nonsense of leaving voluntarily, but seriously thought about it. Vivian is a very smart girl. She can tell that although Hao Ren is a petty citizen, an ordinary person, and a lazy young man who is afraid of trouble, this guy's courage and acceptance are surprisingly strong. He was also surprised to see the ruined things, but within ten seconds he began to seriously analyze and find a way out, and it was the same this time. This is a rare quality. But no matter how courageous and receptive he is, Hao Ren is still an ordinary person, and Vivian really doesn't know how to turn an ordinary person into a powerful person in an instant.

"That raven 12345 didn't give you a cheat or something?" Lily asked curiously while laying on the table, "I read it's said in human novels, you're working for God, how much is that space-time administration?" Should I also give you some labor insurance supplies?"

"She might have forgotten, so I didn't ask." Hao Ren thought about it, "Next time I meet her, I'll ask her face to face. Her cell phone number can't be reached. If I want to find her, I guess I'll have to go to that damn place again." ...I always feel that the space-time administration is getting more and more unreliable."

"Far water can't quench your near thirst. You have had a strange dream once, and you haven't solved the source in the dream. According to the law of general illusion, this dream will definitely continue to take effect. You must sleep," Vivian said while talking. , while slowly turning into a vampire form, "I'll get you a talisman first, no matter if you're in an illusion or something, as long as you suppress it, it will dissipate soon."

Hao Ren suddenly thought of Vivian's "talisman", and subconsciously asked, "Is your pile of odds and ends reliable?"

"Who told you about my treasures?" Vivian frowned slightly, "I'm talking about the power of high-level blood!"

After the words fell, Vivian bit her finger with her fangs without hesitation, and suddenly a drop of blood with a strange golden-red halo burst out from her fingertip: "Come here, let me take this drop Blood smeared on the back of your hand should be enough to suppress that nightmare—if it's really an illusion."

Hao Ren stretched out his hand hesitantly, and watched Vivienne smearing the blood with a strange shimmer on his hand, and couldn't help muttering: "I remember the legend that vampires can use their own blood to wipe out blood. Ordinary people also become vampires, you think I won't mutate, right?"

"Don't think about it, it's a bluff," Vivienne sneered, "I've heard the legend about you humans, how can you increase your offline with just one bite... If blood race reproduction is so easy, what's the matter with you humans? ? We covered Asia, Africa and Europe by the time of the Bronze Age, so why did the demon hunters and the church jointly make it so miserable?"

She talked about the history of vampires being pushed to the edge by humans, but she showed no hostility towards Hao Ren who is a human, which is quite interesting.

"Eh? How did this happen?"

Vivienne cried out in surprise: her blood drop disappeared quickly the moment it touched Hao Ren's skin!

It was as if being absorbed, and it was absorbed at an astonishing speed.
