Nightmare Light

Chapter 4 Visitors from the Temple

To be honest, when Lin Wang saw the grenade rolling towards his feet, he felt half sad and angry and half amused and helpless.

The reason for my grief and anger was that the reckless woman opposite threw a grenade without understanding the situation at all. What if I died like that?
He was in a dilemma because, at that very moment, the giant flower of flesh and blood fell, and the thick shell of the flower of flesh and blood just happened to protect him...

What's the matter!

The strange thing is that this situation is theoretically dangerous enough, but Lin Wang does not feel any fear at all.

He had a vague feeling: even without the protection of the blood flower, the grenade could not kill him.

Lin Wang really didn't know where this inexplicable intuition came from, but he knew very clearly: death is all fabricated.

So even though he had such an intuition, he still hid obediently under the protection of the blood flower shell, waiting for the battle outside to end.

boom!
The grenade exploded with a loud bang.

The impact was transmitted to Lin Wang through the petals of flesh and blood. It felt a bit like someone punched him hard through the sofa cushions.

There's impact, but not much.

But what surprised Lin Wang even more was his body.

According to Lin Wang’s common sense, at such a close distance, no matter what protective measures are taken, the impact of the grenade will have a certain impact on people within the explosion range.

But when the grenade exploded, Lin Wang only felt a slight shock. Although he was protected by the blood flower petals, the strength of his body still surprised him.

What's wrong with my body?

A normal person's body doesn't have this kind of strength!

While he was thinking, Lin Wang heard loud shouting coming from outside the petals.

"Don't touch this flower yet. Wait until the people from the temple arrive and deal with it!"

"But the person in the petals might still be alive. What if we miss the best time to rescue him?"

I also heard a clear voice: "Hey! How come I'm so powerful! I killed this big guy with just one grenade!"

Hearing the noise outside, Lin Wang knew that it was the group of guys from the "Public Security Bureau" coming in.

In that case, pretending to be a victim and being rescued should be able to cover up the secret.

Thinking of this, Lin Wang pushed the fleshy outer wall of the petals twice, and at the same time shouted for help at the top of his lungs.

When the people outside heard the noise, they became busy. A group of people shouted and rushed forward, trying hard together.

Everyone worked together and quickly lifted the petals, allowing Lin Wang to see the light of day again.

He deliberately pretended to be panicked and breathless, staggered two steps out, and looked around.

All around them were a group of people wearing black combat uniforms, a bit like the special forces on Earth.

When the people from the surrounding security bureau saw him, there was a slight commotion. Lin Wang heard someone in the crowd whisper "Northerner?", but then someone stepped forward and reached out to help him out of the range of the giant flower of flesh and blood.

Someone handed Lin Wang a bottle of water.

When Lin Wang took the water and expressed his gratitude, he saw that the person who handed him the water was a tall, wheat-skinned young girl who looked very energetic.

Noticing Lin Wang's gaze, she shrank her head awkwardly, looking away a little embarrassedly. Then she glanced at him quickly again and said in a clear and rapid voice, "Hey! I wasn't the one who blew you up just now!"

Just as she finished speaking, a Public Security Bureau soldier brushed past her and said happily, "Taozi, I heard you killed Anomaly 46 with just a grenade? That's impressive!"

Lin Wang and the young girl: "..."

The girl's face fell, and she sighed: "Oh... Fine! Anyway, I was wrong!" She raised her head and stretched her neck, pretending to be ready to kill or cut me up at your will, "Whatever!"

This girl is...interesting.

Lin Wang chuckled inwardly and smiled at the girl in front of him: "Anyway, thank you."

"I know I'm wrong, but I don't have the money to compensate you anyway. If you have the guts, you can... uh?" The girl rattled off a bunch of words, then froze. "What did you say? Thank you?"

"I wanted to thank you for killing that monster and saving me." Lin Wang said expressionlessly, "But now I'm considering asking you to compensate me."

"I don't have any money!" She jumped back, covering her pocket. Her face, which had turned bitter, soon brightened up after she realized that Lin Wang was joking with her.

"Hey, you're such a good person to get along with!" She smiled happily and carefreely, looking up at Lin Wang. "Except for being so tall...why are all you northerners so tall?"

Northerner?
Lin Wang heard this word again.

What does Northerner mean?
While Lin Wang was pondering, the young woman called Taozi continued blabbering: "My name is Tian Taozi! When this case is over, I will treat you to a meal and apologize!"

Why does this girl seem so silly...

Lin Wang complained in his heart and said, "Lin Wang." "I remember your name!" Tian Taozi raised her hand and made a "please" gesture, with a slightly apologetic expression, "But now, you have to go back to the Public Security Bureau with us... You know the rules."

In cases like this, the parties involved would definitely have to go back to the Public Security Bureau for questioning and to understand the situation. And Lin Wang also needed such contact to understand this strange world.

So when Tian Taozi signaled Lin Wang to get in the car and wait, Lin Wang agreed readily.

The main reason was that he still couldn't remember where his home was, so he had nowhere else to go...

As they walked, Tian Taozi kept talking. By the time they reached the office building, Lin Wang had almost figured out how many section chiefs there were in the Public Security Bureau and the personal privacy of each section chief.

He walked out of the building and towards a Sheriff's Department vehicle parked on the side of the road.

Just as he approached the car, a group of people in robes walked out of a car next to it.

This group of people wore patched gray robes with strange diagonal patterns embroidered on their chests, and their faces were painted with bright oil paint patterns mixed with orange and other colors.

The young girl walking in front was not tall, with very little paint on her face. There were only a few lines on her face, except for two circles, one large and one small, on her forehead, which formed a strange pattern.

Seeing Lin Wang's curious expression, Tian Taozi whispered, "Abnormal phenomena require the assistance of professionals to deal with them... The monks in these temples are professionals who deal with abnormal incidents."

Hearing her words, Lin Wang raised his head and took a closer look at the group of monks in front of him. At this moment, the young girl who was leading the group of monks also raised her head and met his gaze.

He saw a pair of extremely strange eyes.

When those eyes looked at Lin Wang, Lin Wang had a feeling - he was clearly being stared at by her, but she seemed not to notice anything, and it was as if her eyes penetrated his body and looked at the endless void.

She just looked at Lin Wang with those unique eyes. After a few seconds, she nodded slightly at him.

Weird...but very interesting girl.

Lin Wang smiled and nodded to the other party.

The girl, however, looked frightened and took a step back. However, she quickly realized her behavior was inappropriate, and hurriedly nodded to Lin Wang, then hurriedly ran towards the office building.

When he was going up the stairs, he tripped because he stepped on his robe.

The short girl's sudden reaction scared Lin Wang, but the girl had already run away in a panic, so Lin Wang was left confused.

Lin Wang: “……?”

Since he was destined to get no answer, Lin Wang didn't think much about it. He just shook his head, turned around and got into the car. After telling him to wait in the car, Tian Taozi hurried back to the scene of the crime.

As soon as he got in the car, he noticed that it was different.

From the outside, this is just an ordinary security vehicle, no different from the patrol vehicles and escort vehicles in Lin Wang's world.

However, just like how Lin Wang could sense the energy flow of the giant flower of flesh and blood before, this time, as soon as he got in the car, he immediately felt that there was a layer of complex and mysterious energy flowing in the heavy compartment of this car.

That layer of energy continuously flows, disperses, and aggregates inside the entire vehicle, and eventually converges into an energy node deep in the mechanical area.

And these energies, like the energy of the giant flower of flesh and blood before, made him feel an indescribable sense of desire.

Lin Wang restrained this desire in time.

This car... looks very unusual.

This Public Security Bureau is indeed very different from the police stations on Earth...

There was a hint of surprise in Lin Wang's eyes.

But he suppressed his curiosity and desire for that energy - whether he had the ability to study that energy or not, now was not a good time.

After all, we can't afford the compensation if it is demolished.

After collecting his thoughts, Lin Wang sat in the car, waiting for the people from the Public Security Bureau to finish the case.

Now that he had some free time, he began to have the energy to recall everything that had happened since he traveled through time. It was only then that his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed for the first time.

Sleepiness came over me like a tide.

Lin Wang fell into his dream.

As the white light of the dream gradually enveloped him, he vaguely heard a sigh coming from the void.

"Hurry up, time is running out..."

"peaceful……"

　This girl is not the heroine, but she is also a very important character... Keep asking for the name of the main city.
