Chapter 448 Appearance 1
The bizarre scene interwoven with countless dreams was fleeting, and everyone seemed to be traveling through an endless kaleidoscope tunnel.

"Is there a concept of distance in the dream world? I seemed to have seen some scenery around Portland just now." Nick asked suddenly. As a native who has lived in the area for many years, he found many familiar things.

Cobb's voice echoed leisurely: "Indeed, dreams are an illusory realm composed of the unconscious spirit that escapes when humans sleep.

Even though dreams theoretically have no distinction between direction and distance, people in the same area will most likely dream about things that have certain similarities due to their subconscious influence from what they see and hear, so they will gather together to form a relatively fixed area.

What we need to do is to use this as a springboard to find the space where the missing person exists!"

"What would happen if we got lost in this alien space?" Zhu Mingyao suddenly interrupted.

"Don't worry too much about this," Cobb explained.

“The nature of the dream world is peculiar. It is different from other dimensions in that it exists based on the consciousness of intelligent creatures and entities cannot enter it in general.

Our current situation is like forcing a balloon into a basin of water. As soon as we let go, it will immediately pop out of the water - that is, waking up in the closest human dream and returning to the material world... Hey!"

His tone suddenly changed and he uttered a few words quickly.

"found it!"

The giant whale with blue light flowing around it leaped out proudly and slammed into somewhere suddenly. Layers of thick gray fog like ripples suddenly spread in the void.

The wall of fog collapsed in an instant, and a dark crack stretched across, like a monster's mouth opening wide, ready to swallow several people!
"Huhu——!"

Wrapped in boundless darkness, rapidly surging air currents passed by their ears, making a shrill sound. Then the feet of several people shook, and they rose and fell several times before stabilizing, as if they had stepped into a ball of elastic jelly.

"Is this... where the enemy is hiding?" Nick muttered as he drew his weapon cautiously.

The black shadows and dark clouds gradually disappeared, and a few dim lights slowly emerged, revealing a devastated and dilapidated neighborhood.

The gray sky was slightly reddish, like the dying ashes in a stove. Directly below it, an empty street stretched into the distance. The dilapidated houses on both sides had their doors and windows missing and open, like a pair of empty eye sockets, staring coldly at the uninvited guests.

The surrounding air was filled with the pungent smell of years of accumulated dust, and gave off a dead silence that seemed to be forever immersed in darkness. Although one knew that it was an illusory dream, it still made people feel suffocated by disgust.

"The material strength represented by the physical body seems to have been weakened to a considerable extent, while the strength in the spiritual realm has been improved to a certain extent."

Zhu Mingyao swung his arm lightly, and a golden-red evil-repelling fire leaped out. He observed the flickering flames, carefully experiencing the difference between the rules here and those of the outside world.

Equipment appeared in Nick's hands one after another, and he kept giving feedback based on the results of the experiments.

"More sophisticated alchemical instruments are almost completely unusable, and the body's own supernatural abilities are also greatly restricted." Nick frowned and made a knife flower. Such an environment is not very friendly to the demon hunter system that mainly relies on melee capabilities.

Kant, who was standing aside, stroked the staff of civilization with a slightly gloomy expression. His spells became distorted and out of control just a dozen meters away from his hand, and their power and effectiveness range were greatly weakened.

"The person you are looking for should be nearby. I can sense the evil intention." Cobb looked around nervously and shrank his body among the people.

"Remember that in dreams, the strength you have depends largely on your mind. If you are fearful and shrinking, even a world boxing champion can be knocked down by a child."

The diamond-like starlight spread out in a halo shape, and the strange feeling on the bodies of several people was relieved. He let out a tired breath:

"As for the interference from the environment, I have done my best to adjust the dream rules to maximize your combat effectiveness.

Let me make it clear first. If I encounter fatal danger, I will evacuate immediately. As for you, you can only wish for the best."

Zhu Mingyao seemed to be nonchalant about his slick attitude and smiled, his attitude as warm as a spring breeze. "We are still confident in this, enough to guarantee your safety."

"Even though that guy's power is of a strange nature and hard to catch, its strength is limited. Otherwise, why would he hide here and there?" Nick took two steps forward and took the lead without hesitation.

They were walking at a fast pace, passing by the old houses on both sides. As they walked on the empty streets, the usually subtle footsteps seemed extremely clear.

The entire space seemed to be shrouded in dead silence, but if one listened carefully, it was not completely silent. Faint and indescribable noises could be heard from time to time, like a cold and slippery tentacle, reaching deep into people's hearts and groping around, trying to arouse their deepest fears.

The hazy darkness all around was like clouds and fog, but it was not completely black. Instead, it was wriggling in varying shades, just like the shadows under the bed that a child stares at when sleeping alone at night. It seemed that the ordinary was filled with weirdness and mystery, as if a terrible monster would jump out at any moment.

Nick continued, "I used some connections to examine the traces at the scene. Its rank is no higher than the lord level. The three of us must be willing to pay a price, and we can definitely afford it."

"Don't count me in." Kant lowered his triangular eyes, his tone revealing obvious alienation and indifference, "I participated in this operation only to appease my new deputy. Although I can contribute, I will not take too many risks for this."

"You are quite frank." Nick sneered sarcastically.

He turned his head slightly, seemed to glance behind him, and seemed to cast a meaningful look at Zhu Mingyao:

"Even without a coward like you, we are still confident of success with just the two of us."

"What a brave police officer! I wonder how much the federal government paid you to buy such a loyal hound..." Kant's eyes trembled, and his pale face twitched, and he was about to retort.

"Everyone be quiet! Something is coming!" Zhu Mingyao's eyes suddenly lit up, interrupting the rising tension.

There was no need for him to remind them any more, as a slight and ethereal sound suddenly entered everyone's ears.

The sound came near and far away, changing unpredictably. Even though everyone present was an extraordinary being with magical powers, no one could find out where it came from.

1.2. Freddy comes to see you, 3.4. Lock your door...

Along with the ballad, a strange feeling of oppression approached, squeezing in from all directions, as if an invisible cold hand pierced into the chest, desperately grabbing the desire to resist, and injecting the poison called cowardice and panic into the body.

"It's the dark nursery rhyme from Elm Street back then. I've seen it in the archives. It's a sign that the devil is about to come!"

Nick pinched an amulet carved with the shape of an angel of victory, and his heroic fighting spirit, as full and hot as liquor, flowed out, offsetting the negative impact.

The singing became louder and louder, and the smell of horror and viciousness became stronger and stronger.

5.6. Cover your face, 7.8. Your breathing will stop...

"Hmph! Just a special species of demon, a lowly thing pretending to be so!"

Kant seemed to be annoyed by the enemy's evasive behavior. He shouted angrily, and his staff flashed with a sharp light. Dozens of dark green electric lights shot out, like chains and long whips, madly lashing everything in his sight.

The power contained in each lightning bolt is enough to collapse huge rocks. It is obvious that this evil sorcerer who dominates the area is not just a name.

In an instant, the houses collapsed, the shadows disappeared, and the singing suddenly stopped.

However, the next second, the crisp, childish and childlike tone suddenly changed and became eerie and terrifying.

9.10. Never fall asleep, because he is
...by your side!
With a vicious and treacherous grin, steel claws and sharp blades with cold light appeared behind everyone at the same time!
