Volume 1 The Realm of the Nightmare Chapter 2 Demon Slayer(1/2)
The next day, Mao Shi.
In the empty space, there is a white cloud, and on the cloud lies a young man with a handsome face. His brows have been furrowed and his lips are pale, as if he is having a nightmare.
"White Walker!"
Suddenly, the young man woke up from his dream. He jumped up from the ground and stretched his hands to his waist, as if he wanted to draw a sword to kill the ghost.
But in fact, there was no knife on his waist, and there was no White Walker in front of him.
Xu Mu swallowed a gulp of saliva and looked around in shock, as if he didn't understand where he was.
Soon, he saw an extremely majestic palace.
This palace, made of colored glaze, stands among the colorful clouds in the sky. It has countless stairs and is surrounded by several large pillars reaching the sky. On the pillars are entwined a long dragon with golden scales and red beards.
So close, yet so far away.
"Here it is again." Xu Mu felt bored, closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
Since he was seven years old, his consciousness would stay in this space for a while before waking up every morning.
At first, he regarded this as some kind of unspeakable opportunity, but as time went by, he discovered that although the space here was vast and the palace was magnificent, no matter what he did, he could not get even half close.
Maybe, this is just an illusion.
Xu Mu opened his eyes and no longer thought about the palace, but suddenly remembered what happened last night.
What did he do last night?
The young man thought carefully, with a confused look on his face. He only remembered that he was patrolling the night as usual, and then spent a lot of effort to drive away the group of White Walkers. However, when he finally turned around, he saw another White Walker.
That strange ghost seems very familiar.
Thinking back to the face of the White Walker, Xu Mu's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously because he couldn't remember what the White Walker looked like.
He only remembered that the moment he saw the other person, his heart stopped beating.
It seemed that the ghost was very important to him.
"Hmm? There is a window."
Xu Mu stood up and began to walk aimlessly in this space. Then suddenly, the clouds and fog in front of him dispersed, and he saw a window floating there, not locked, as if waiting for him to push it open.
Crunch…
Xu Mu stepped forward and tried to push open the window. The moment his hand came into contact with the window frame, the scene in front of him quickly changed to his yard in Fengqing Village.
And what his hand was holding was his own window.
Through the gap in the window that was pushed open, he seemed to be able to see a blurry black shadow flashing through the house.
"Who is it?!" Xu Mu's right eyelid twitched and he mustered up the courage to push all the windows open.
"There is a body on the ground."
Apart from the corpse, there was nothing else in the house.
Xu Mu's heartbeat quickened, and just when he wanted to jump into the house to see who it was, the body on the ground suddenly turned its head.
...
boom!
The clock on the wall swung, the time had come, and the parrots came out to chirp, and the space around Xu Mu suddenly began to collapse.
Click!
The space shattered into pieces like a mirror, and countless pieces of glass reflecting his reflection fell to the ground. It was as heavy as a stone and as sharp as a knife. It was about to kill Xu Mu, but at this moment, he woke up.
call!
The young man opened his eyes and was not affected by the scene in the dream. He stood up like a carp, and then Xu Mu turned over and jumped to the ground without any pause.
"It's exactly the same as what I saw in my dream!"
Xu Mu looked at the corpse on the ground, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, because he knew this corpse.
This man's name is Wu Kui.
He and Wu Kui were not acquainted with each other, because Wu Kui was his savior and also his adoptive father. Xu Mu closed his eyes tremblingly, and the memories kept flashing back in his mind.
I still remember Wu Kui once said that he was originally a baby who was abandoned in the Daxi Mountains. It was he who took him back to Fengqing Village and grew up with the help of his fellow villagers.
In this troubled world, the fate of those who cannot awaken their superpowers is like a piece of cake. However, Wu Kui treats him like a close relative and teaches him the skills to read, write and survive. After more than ten years, he finally became the most famous hunter in a hundred miles.
, was also appointed as a night watchman by the imperial court.
But now, Wu Kui is dead.
Die in the night under his rule!
"Charles, can you tell me what's going on?" Xu Mu asked with a trembling voice. Before the dark night came, he had told Wu Kui to stay in the house and not go out, but why did he die now?
Already?
"Check it yourself." A mechanical voice sounded in his head. This was Charles's answer.
Xu Mu picked up the body on the ground and felt the coldness that spanned time and space on the man's body. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. After feeling sad for a while, he wiped away his tears and exhaled heavily.
"Okay, I'll do it myself." Xu Mu's eyes were red and he suddenly pulled out the hunting knife from his waist.
"Isn't it just an autopsy? What you taught me is to analyze the cause of death first, right? As you said, you must first examine the body surface." Xu Mu's palms were shaking uncontrollably, and he peeled off Wu Kui's clothes, "
A stab wound on the neck, an incision of five centimeters, one of the fatal injuries."
"There was an unknown bite on the abdomen, the subcutaneous tissue was pierced, and the bite marks were unevenly arranged. It was initially determined to be a bite from a White Walker."
"The nails are purple and black and rough, the epidermis is dry and cold, there are local ulcers, and there is no blood in the body."
Xu Mu stopped suddenly and was bitten. There was no blood in his body. It was obvious that the blood had been swallowed by the White Walkers.
Wu Kui became a strange ghost, and what finally caused Wu Kui's death was a stab wound to his neck.
It's the hunting knife in his hand!
Xu Mu's limbs were numb and he looked at the hunting knife in his hand with exhaustion, unable to believe the conclusion he had come up with.
He was stunned. Four years ago, two souls who claimed to have been sleeping in his body since his birth suddenly woke up.
Of the two of them, one is said to be the only robot in the blue star of the alien world that understands human emotions. He is proficient in encyclopedia knowledge such as mathematics, physics, medicine, and chemistry, and is truly omniscient and omnipotent.
The other one is a nasty guy who has never introduced his origins. He is mysterious and plain in nature, but he has a pair of eyes that are sometimes bright and sometimes gray. Late every night, the gray pupils will take away the control of his body.
right.
During that period, he would fall into a deep sleep, and he had no idea what the gray and white pupils were doing with his body.
Just like last night, as soon as he drove away the White Walkers, gray-white eyes appeared and took over his body.
Gray-white eyes saw Wu Kui becoming a strange ghost, so he drew his sword and killed Wu Kui?
"Charles, that's what I thought, right?"
Xu Mu had already guessed the cause of Wu Kui's death through simple analysis, so he hugged his head with great regret and sat down on the ground.
He regretted extremely why he didn't take good care of Wu Kui last night and why he couldn't control his gray eyes.
While Xu Mu was speaking, a string of silver-white light and shadow suddenly floated out from his body.
"Congratulations, host, you have finally started studying forensic science!" That string of light and shadow has no facial features, but it can speak.
"As you analyzed, Wu Kui was infected by the White Walkers last night and appeared in front of you, so you killed him with a knife."
"Let me be clear, is it me or him?"
Xu Mu's voice was hoarse. Whoever struck that knife was very important to him.
"Me or him?", the silver-white data kept flowing, and Charles repeated it seriously, "Please note that I am the only great technology on the Blue Star that understands human emotions, and my verbal logic will not make mistakes."
"No matter who made the move at that time, it can be regarded as you killing him, or killing a White Walker. You used your left hand to kill it with a diagonal slash, and then brought the body back."
Charles' tone was still very calm. He flew in front of Xu Mu, and the information flow followed his movements and pointed to the body on the ground, just like a criminal identifying the scene in a murder case.
Xu Mu's facial muscles twitched. If he said this, wouldn't he be treasonous?
"Is it possible to bring him back to life?"
"It would be okay if it was on my planet, but here..."
"You taught me that men can't say no!"
Xu Mu's eyes were red and he interrupted Charles harshly.
Charles was silent, he knew that Xu Mu was in a bad mood at this time, but the medical technology here was really limited, and the methods needed to bring the dead back to life were too complicated, and there was really nothing he could do, so he could only fly into Xu Mu's mind,
Take a break.
"You still have one minute. Please dispose of the body quickly and place sachets in the room, because the bloody smell of iron ions in the air will expose you."
"Please be careful, you are coming with bad intentions!"
It was useless to mess around. Xu Mu tried his best to ease his emotions and sat up with a pale face. He couldn't understand what Charles meant.
The person who came here is not good, who are you talking about?
