Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 159

The thick ghostly aura roared out like a dam bursting, as if a single ink was madly smeared on many colorful scrolls.

It won’t be long before all consciousness in the dream will be assimilated.

This is just a dream. In the real world, more widespread horror scenes are happening.

Cause and effect converge into a river, and the river becomes the carrier of the emperor's wrath, guiding it in their respective correct directions, which is all the branches of the family behind the hand.

Although everything happened suddenly, there was a cold orderliness to it.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Is the dream about to collapse?"

Figure: "It's more serious than a collapse. It will be completely infected. You kid, this time you should have done a lot of good deeds. It will be very happy."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Because I did the right thing?"

Figure: "Because you did more than just your job title."

Li Zhuiyuan: "While I am using a knife to kill someone, am I also the knife?"

"That's right. There are some special things in this world that it doesn't have a good solution for. If there is a chance, do you think it would like to take this opportunity to give the emperor a blow and help him bleed?

If you help it to thread the needle, it will naturally repay you, but you must never really show any kindness to it. When you grow up, you will also become the object that it wants to deal with.

And, because of me, it won’t even give you a chance to grow up.”

"That's good too. It's boring to do the old papers."

"As long as you know what's going on, I'm not worried about that. I believe that the real you has already begun to understand its nature, otherwise you wouldn't have come this far and set up such a trap.

Okay, although I can’t leave this dream, I can still help you support it.

Now go to other dreams, take all your people out and leave.

Remember, the nature of dreams has changed now, so be careful and don't die in your dreams."

"What happens when you die?"

"In reality, you won't die, but you'll easily become demented."

"This seems to be more difficult to accept than death."

When things developed to this point, there had actually been an unexpected deviation. After completely angering the emperor, the change in the dream brought the danger of Li Zhuiyuan and others being treated the same way.

However, the one who caused the deviation was this "figure", and at the same time, he also had the ability to offset this dangerous influence.

Li Zhuiyuan activated the surrounding formations, and the zodiac images of the twelve Earthly Branches kept alternating.

On the river bank, the boy holding the black umbrella appeared again.

The boy reached out and grabbed Yin Meng, who was still the little girl in his dream.

"Follow me out of here."

Yin Meng nodded and let the boy grab her hand without any resistance.

This made Li Zhuiyuan think that only what he would fully understand "in the future" could be shown in his current dream. So, the girl in front of him was so obedient to his words, was it because she had already regarded listening to him as an instinct in reality?
The boy and the girl disappeared together.

The next moment, Yin Meng appeared in the amusement park. She stared blankly at the suddenly changing environment around her.

Li Zhuiyuan continued to move towards his next dream.

The next dream was of a hospital that was half flooded. Li Zhuiyuan was standing on a boat, approaching the third floor of the hospital.

Through the window, I saw a young man covered in blood and looking panic-stricken.

After the King of Fengdu got angry, the turtle retreated.

If Li Zhuiyuan had come earlier, he would have been able to see the turtles in the water and on the entire outer wall of the hospital.

Tan Wenbin, who was still in shock, breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled after seeing the boy.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed in front of him and said, "Come down."

"okay!"

Without saying a word, Tan Wenbin climbed out from the windowsill and came onto the boy's boat.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at him and felt that he understood more than the previous girl.

This is indeed good. I am here to take them away. If they are hesitant and suspicious, and insist on staying in this dream and are unwilling to leave, then I will really have a headache.

Reaching out and grabbing Tan Wenbin's wrist, Li Zhuiyuan took him off the boat.

The two of them fell into the water with a "splash".

Later, Tan Wenbin also appeared in the amusement park.

After looking at his surroundings, he patted the back of his head in confusion: "I'm already a high school student, how could I have such a childish dream?"

After Li Zhuiyuan picked him up, he went to look for other people.

The figure looked at Tan Wenbin and asked, "So what kind of dream do you want to have?"

Tan Wenbin said as a matter of course: "Of course it has to be a little inappropriate for children."

The figure looked Tan Wenbin up and down and said, "You are also a talent."

This sentence was not a mockery. From the figure, it can be seen that Tan Wenbin has just experienced the torture of a nightmare. Now he is just in a new environment, which has destroyed his sense of immersion. His emotions immediately became agitated.

This kind of person is the type who will start a dyeing factory if given a little color.

Although he seems to be out of tune, he is actually determined.

Tan Wenbin looked at the figure and asked in confusion, "Why are you so blurry and can't see clearly?"

Figure: "Can you see clearly the people in this world who are not blurry?"

Tan Wenbin: "How could that be possible? You misunderstood. I was just afraid that you couldn't see me clearly."

"Haha." The figure laughed twice, "What on earth have you figured out, kid?"

"what?"

Tan Wenbin was a little confused by this sentence. He looked at the cute little girl standing next to him, uttered a sound of surprise, and asked:
"I think I've seen this sister before?"

……

Meeting Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin went smoothly, but when entering this burning dream, Li Zhuiyuan encountered difficulties.

This has nothing to do with whether the other person understands it thoroughly or not. It’s simply because the other person’s emotions are on the verge of collapse.

Li Zhuiyuan walked into the temple and saw corpses everywhere and a raging fire.

A young man was lying on the ground, punching the floor tiles with his fists. A large piece of the floor tiles was broken and his hands were covered in blood.

"Hey."

Li Zhuiyuan shouted several times in a row.

The boy didn't know the young man's name, so he could only call him that.

But Lin Shuyou did not react at all and continued to be immersed in his anger and pain.

In fact, people like Lin Shuyou are the true reflection of being trapped in the dream of the dream ghost. Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin, because of the causal relationship behind them, pulled the two figures in, causing the dream ghost to lose control of their dreams, which made them safer. At least they did not suffer such severe torture.

Li Zhuiyuan wanted to reach out and pull Lin Shuyou, but Lin Shuyou pushed his hand away and continued to curl up in the corner.

At this moment, a faint voice came: "I can help you take him away."

Li Zhuiyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure emerging from the fire in the main house. It was the dream ghost.

It was very panicked and confused. It had thought it had a chance to escape by taking advantage of the situation, but the fact was that when the emperor's angry will was projected into its dream, it had no way to escape.

Now, Meng Gui’s only hope is the young man in front of him.

Since he was the one who caused this terrible disaster, he should have the ability to protect himself.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at it expressionlessly.

Meng Gui continued: "Not only can I help you send him and the other person away safely, I am also willing to be your most loyal servant and obey your will for the rest of my life!"

As he spoke, Meng Gui knelt down and saluted towards Li Zhuiyuan.

In order to survive, it has long since disregarded everything.

If the Evil Book were here, I'm afraid it would use its few remaining yellowed pages to write densely packed with sarcastic and mocking language, with one theme:
"Bah, you think so."

Some things in a person's bones are difficult to change with age, and often the younger they are, the more extreme they are.

If Li Zhuiyuan, who went to college, could treat "The Evil Book" so coldly and rationally, then Li Zhuiyuan, who had not yet returned to his hometown and had no emotions in his heart, would be even more resolute in this regard.

Most importantly, when looking at it, Li Zhuiyuan's mind would emerge with the scene of the bumper car hitting the girl in red Hanfu.

He knew that this was a "torture" designed by it for itself.

Although he was not defeated by the torture, and although the girl in red smiled at him and did not blame him.

But since you dare to set such a scene for me,
then you,

Damn it!
Li Zhuiyuan was even unwilling to use it or negotiate with it, and did not want it to gain any hope at this time.

The boy himself was a little confused as to why he was so "emotional" at this moment.

All I can say is that the girl does hold a special place in my heart, and protecting her has become an instinct for me in the future.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I believe that person must have countless ways to make you live a life worse than death. I am looking forward to it."

Meng Gui raised his head in disbelief and looked at the boy. He had not expected that the boy could speak so bluntly.

After being completely desperate, the dream ghost showed a ferocious look and shook the candle in its hand.

Originally, Lin Shuyou and Runsheng were precious bargaining chips in its hands, but now, it has decided not to cherish them anymore. It has crushed both of them!
Lin Shuyou became completely quiet.

Meng Gui said, "Kill him!"

At this moment, Meng Gui just wanted to drag as many people as possible to be buried with him.

Lin Shuyou stood up and rushed towards Li Zhuiyuan.

Relying on the formation, Li Zhuiyuan now has partial control over this dream. His figure keeps disappearing, avoiding the attacks from Lin Shuyou.

The dream ghost tried to compress the boy's range of movement, but it was shocked to find that it could not do it.

Li Zhuiyuan is in a difficult situation now. Lin Shuyou's previous out-of-control state made it impossible for him to take him away from here. Now Lin Shuyou is controlled by Meng Gui and has become his puppet, so the possibility of taking him away by himself is even lower.

Li Zhuiyuan even began to consider whether Lin Shuyou was still worth taking away by him at the moment?
Anyway, the other person's consciousness has been completely destroyed, which is equivalent to death. If you take him back, he will just be a vegetable.

Without the support of common experiences and memories of the "future", the boy at this time did not know Lin Shuyou at all, so his thinking pattern was still extremely rational.

Instead of wasting time here, why not try to pick up the next person.

Before coming in, Li Zhuiyuan hypnotized Lin Shuyou and the others and left a piece of paper. At this time, all they had to do was simply poke a hole in the paper and Lin Shuyou would be able to return to normal.

But the problem is that Li Zhuiyuan doesn't remember this incident.

This is the reality. No matter how carefully the plan is made, there will always be various accidents that will disrupt the previous deployment and rhythm. Seeing that Lin Shuyou was unable to catch the boy, Meng Gui shouted angrily: "Use all your strength!"

Previously in the dream, the plot had described him as a useless person who was unable to possess a spirit and was hated by the evil spirits.

Therefore, Lin Shuyou, who witnessed Uncle Qin destroying his own temple in his dream, could only vent his resentment and grievance in anger and helplessness.

At this moment, he had actually broken free from the constraints of his original dream, and it could even be said that he had lost himself, becoming a wild beast with only instinctive reactions left.

The "master"'s order is: use all your strength.

For a medium, using all one's strength means to possess the spirit.

Lin Shuyou spread out his left palm, clenched his right fist and shook it, then stomped his leg down hard!
next moment,
Lin Shuyou's eyes were constantly changing, sometimes vertical and sometimes normal, in a high-frequency alternating state of success and failure.

The reason is very simple. White Crane Boy sensed the terrifying aura here and he didn't dare to come down!

According to common sense, He should have no reaction at this moment. No matter how high the medium's level is or how close he is to Him, He will not let himself fall into such a terrible and dangerous situation.

But the problem was that the boy remembered the oath that Li Zhuiyuan had warned him that if he dared not come down when summoned again, the young man would work to destroy his position as a god, so he did not dare not come down.

Extreme hesitation and entanglement led to this kind of Schrödinger's phenomenon.

However, Tongzi also knew that this ambiguous attitude could not last too long.

Finally, He made a decision.

It's dangerous here, and coming here by yourself may lead to ominous consequences.

But if I don’t come down, I will definitely suffer misfortune in the future!
This is no longer a question of who to fear more, but a question of probability.

The vertical pupils are officially opened, and the White Crane Boy is here!

Meng Gui pointed his finger at Li Zhuiyuan and said, "Kill him for me!"

The White Crane Boy looked at Li Zhuiyuan.

then,

Go straight to the dream ghost!

The dream ghost was startled and dodged.

The White Crane Boy followed closely behind. His body movements were beyond Lin Shuyou's reach. He quickly caught up with him and swung his fist, knocking the Dream Ghost down.

The dream ghost wailed.

It was the first time that it was beaten in a dream it had designed.

At this moment, dense black cracks appeared in the sky above, and faintly, a bird's cry seemed to be heard.

This is the voice from the natural enemy!
Meng Gui got angry again: Damn it, they really deserve to die, they didn’t even want me to leave alive!

Although the cooperation between the two parties was based on various precautions, Meng Gui only wanted to protect himself, but the other party had actually prepared Birch's form and spirit in advance, which made it obvious that they wanted to use him and then destroy him!
The enemy is hateful, but betrayal from teammates is even more hateful!
The dream ghost shook the lamp in his hand, and its figure disappeared from here, completely leaving this dream. It was going to settle the final account with that group of people.

Even though the final outcome is certain, it still wants to vent its anger before the curtain falls!
The White Crane Boy lost his target. He looked at Li Zhuiyuan and then looked around.

Now, He seemed to realize that something was wrong with the environment here, as if it was not real.

Li Zhuiyuan didn't care. The boy only knew that the one with vertical pupils in front of him was more obedient and better behaved than the previous one.

He walked towards the boy and reached out to grab his hand.

"Don't resist me, just follow me."

The boy looked up, saw the black crack above his head and the terrible pressure, and nodded.

He felt that the boy in front of him was making more and more scenes with each passing day.

But huge risks are often accompanied by huge benefits. The boy's threat frightened him, but the benefits made him full of initiative.

Li Zhuiyuan held the hand of White Crane Boy and came to the amusement park.

Throwing Him here, Li Zhuiyuan hurried to go to the last dream.

The White Crane Boy looked at the people around him and said: They all look younger.

Especially the girl, she has become so much smaller.

Finally, the White Crane Boy set his eyes on the blurry figure.

His vertical pupils flashed with a deep luster, and he was trying to see through the blurry figure.

What he didn't know was that the person he didn't dare to look at under the peach trees in his hometown of Nantong was just a follower of the figure in front of him.

"whispering sound."

The figure made a disdainful sound.

Blood immediately flowed from the boy's eyes.

The figure said, "Erase this memory yourself and leave. The memories here are too much for even you to bear. Don't even think about taking them away."

The boy first bowed to the figure, then reached out and touched his forehead, erasing his memory and ending the spirit writing state.

Lin Shuyou, who had returned to his original appearance, was still in a puppet state controlled by the dream ghost. Therefore, even though his eyes were bleeding, he still pounced on Li Zhuiyuan who was sitting cross-legged there.

Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng immediately stepped forward to stop them.

The figure reached out and patted Lin Shuyou on the back of his head:

"wake up."

That layer of paper was punctured.

Lin Shuyou woke up as if from a dream.

The figure clapped his hands and asked curiously, "Why didn't he just wake this guy up?"

Then, the figure nodded:

"Oh, that's right, this kid doesn't remember."

Then, the figure patted the back of his head again:

"Oops, I forgot to tell him that too."

……

This is the last dream. If I take this person away, I can take all my men and leave the dream and return to reality.

Although what happened "later" has already happened, from Li Zhuiyuan's perspective at this moment, it seems more like something that will happen in the future.

Therefore, he now really feels like taking a look at his future subordinates in advance.

In this dream, there was a collapsed bungalow and the surrounding walls were all destroyed, leaving only the table in the center and the neatly cut meat on the table.

What about people?

Li Zhuiyuan walked through the ruins and came to the door panel table.

Could it be that his last subordinate had been chopped into pieces in his dream?

If that's the case, will I still be conscious after waking up?

Li Zhuiyuan stretched out his hands and picked up the human head that was cut into an apple-like shape on the table.

Almost instinctively, he used this broken face to reconstruct the human head's appearance in his mind.

so old?
He should be about fifty years old.

I originally thought that since I am not really that old, my subordinates should also be relatively young. It seems that there are exceptions.

The fact that I accepted him into the team does it mean that this old man has some outstanding qualities?

Suddenly, the ground below sank.

Runsheng, who was covered in dirt and had bloodshot eyes, jumped up with a shovel in his hand and smashed it directly at Li Zhuiyuan above.

Meng Gui had previously crushed two chips, and the order it gave to Lin Shuyou also applied to Run Sheng.

The first order was: Kill him!

Li Zhuiyuan quickly controlled the formation, his figure disappeared from the original place, and appeared twenty meters away.

"Is it you?"

The good news is that the man in front of him looks very young; the bad news is that he has also become a puppet.

But before Li Zhuiyuan could think more, he saw many bloody wounds on Runsheng's body, and streams of bloody air gushed out from his body.

Meng Gui’s second order: Use all your strength!
Fully open the valve is a move that Runsheng would simulate repeatedly even in his dreams at night, waiting for the opportunity to use it in front of Xiaoyuan.

It’s just that there was not a truly suitable opportunity before.

But Runsheng never expected that the first time he used this trick was actually in a dream, and it was used on Xiaoyuan himself.

With the valve fully opened, Runsheng's strength and speed increased horribly.

Almost instantly, he reappeared in front of Li Zhuiyuan and hit the boy on the head with the shovel!
Li Zhuiyuan did not take it lightly, but he did "lose" the real combat experience, which was the most fatal point.

Because now, even if he is still manipulating the formation to control this dream, he is not as fast as Runsheng's shovel!

Oh, it's over.

This was the voice in Li Zhuiyuan's heart. Knowing that he was too late to react, he simply closed his eyes.

Wait, wait, wait...

There seemed to be no pain of being smashed to pieces, or was it because it broke too quickly and died too suddenly, so there was no feeling?

Li Zhuiyuan slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still in the dream, in the same environment as before.

The shovel did not fall.

The big guy who had suddenly burst out with terrible power and almost smashed his head, now turned his back to him and squatted down.

The big guy put his hands behind his back at his waist and lifted them up, indicating that I should get on his back and he would carry me on his back.

Li Zhuiyuan stared blankly at the broad back in front of him that gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.

The boy couldn't believe it.

There are people in this world who, even if they become puppets and receive orders from their masters...

And never hurt yourself.

I am still typing during the New Year, but after all, there are a lot of things to do during the New Year, which still affected my work and rest schedule, resulting in my poor writing state today.

Sorry, this is all I can write today. Please forgive me.
