In the infirmary, two seniors who were in charge of looking after the sleeping students started chatting boredly after checking that everything was normal.
"Hmm... It's so boring. How long do I have to stay here? I'm almost fed up with the smell of this disinfectant."
"Put on the mask, you don't want to be contaminated by the sleeping curse, do you?"
"No, let this damn curse take me away as soon as possible. I also want to sleep forever."
"No...are you so pessimistic? If you feel bored, I can play with you~" The senior student changed her tone and approached her, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Eh? Isn't it bad to be here?"
"Isn't it exciting here? We are the only two awake anyway~"
"That's right... I haven't ejaculated in a long time... Wait! Wait!"
"What? What happened?" The senior student was startled by the other party's actions and quickly looked in the direction she was pointing.
"That...that who! Her hand! Her hand! She raised it!"
"Don't scare me. Who is it? Xiaohan? She... hasn't woken up yet? Please don't scare me!"
"But! But she really raised her hand and put it back!"
"You're dazzled, right? Forget it, really, I've lost interest because of you."
Chapter 320 City Lord and Nightmare
"Is that all? Is there nothing else?"
Tan Han straightened up and sat in a different position, staring intently at the Ninglan New City official in front of him who was holding a stack of documents.
"I'm so sorry, young lady. This is the only information the city lord has given me to share with you. Please don't doubt the city lord's sincerity. The existence of nightmares and nightmares is also a huge threat to our Ninglan New City. The city lord also hopes to expel them as soon as possible."
"Okay, stop saying nice things to me. Can I meet the city lord? If I can't meet him, I doubt the sincerity of your Ninglan New City. Don't forget what price we paid for helping you expel that nightmare demon!" Tan Han said in a tough tone at this moment.
"Calm down! Miss, please calm down. I understand your sadness over losing your companions, but the city lord is busy with city affairs and has no time to take care of you. Please forgive me. The city lord deliberately asked me to receive everyone, which shows that our Ninglan New City attaches great importance to this matter."
Tan Han was naturally not satisfied with the intelligence she received at this moment, except for the last time when she took a tough attitude and directly found the city lord and learned some basic information. However, the other party was the city lord after all, not an official who specialized in collecting intelligence, so she only had a general understanding of many things.
Now if I go to look for the city lord again, I can't even see him. It has been like this every time I came here. The information I get is as frustrating as squeezing toothpaste.
"Ugh…"
At this point, Tan Han finally sighed and stood up.
"Miss Tan Han, are you getting ready to leave? Let me see you off." The official also stood up. After all, he was a professional in negotiating and was busy dealing with all kinds of weird outsiders here every day. This girl named Tan Han was one of the few people with whom he could communicate normally. If possible, he would also like to help this lady, but there was no way. Who told him to do things by others?
This kind of thing does not allow him to have any selfish thoughts.
Walked out of the reception room and came to the corridor outside.
"No need to send it again."
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's on the way."
Tan Han did not try to persuade them and just followed silently. Just as they were walking along the corridor, one of the decorative artworks on one side of the corridor fell to the ground in front of them, and a loud noise echoed in the corridor.
"Sorry, it looks like this place needs some maintenance." The official went forward with a bit of embarrassment to move the decoration aside.
At this moment, Tan Han put her hands behind her back, and a small mouse fell silently from her palm to the ground, and then quickly disappeared in the corridor.
"It's okay, but... you really should renovate this place."
In the end, the two of them separated in Ninglan Township Fort as if nothing had happened and went about their own business.
But Tan Han did not go far away, but came to a place that was relatively remote but still very close to Ninglan Township Fort.
The mouse just now was a summoning spell cast by Tan Han, but unfortunately it was just an ordinary mouse.
But combined with some other spells, it can become an excellent tool.
"Vision sharing, body control." Tan Han spoke softly and cast a spell.
The mouse that had already sneaked into a secret corner in Ninglan Township Fort now had red light in its eyes. A pair of lifeless little eyes were suddenly filled with a gleam of spiritual light, and even its originally agile body stiffened at this moment.
Then, the rat moved forward in a strange posture, and its target was the location of the city lord in Ninglan Township Fort.
"Strange... It's not in the office... How is it possible?" Faced with the busy scene of a bunch of officials here, Tan Han did not rush in. Although there might be information or data that she didn't know, if the rat summoned by her spell appeared here, it would probably be killed immediately.
And...she did this not just for the information, but more importantly to complete a transaction.
Not long after, Tan Han controlled the mice to start searching in Ninglan Township Fort, and finally heard the sound in the city lord's bedroom.
"Why are you here?" Tan Han whispered softly, but did not doubt anything.
I just complained a bit. Is this the city lord who is busy with affairs?
The security of Ninglan Township Fort was unexpectedly strict. If Tan Han did not want to fall out with Ninglan New City, these little tricks of hers must not be discovered by them.
But this is the convenience of spellcasters. They have too many means to easily get what they want. But now Tan Han finds that he still underestimated the Lord of Ninglan City.
They knew they couldn't deal with the outsiders' disregard for everyone, and since their soldiers couldn't stop them, then fellow outsiders could.
Tan Han discovered another outsider in Ninglan Township Fort, and she didn't know what kind of benefits the city lord promised.
But there is a high probability that it is related to some intelligence.
When outsiders and the people of this world cannot have any material intersection, information and intelligence become the only trading currency between the two.
Then there seems to be a reason why they regard intelligence so highly. Are they hoping to take the initiative in this crisis by relying on the advantage of early intelligence?
But even if they were outsiders, people who could be ordered around so easily could naturally not stop Tan Han's steps.
At this moment, in the city lord's bedroom.
"You can't bear it just like this~ We haven't used our nightmare's special skills yet, it won't be good if we surrender so early~"
"What do you think? We nightmares are much more capable than those outsiders. They are just useless trash. Instead of expecting them to help you get rid of those nightmares, why not let us help you? You only need to pay a small price, and you don't even have to pay for that. Those lowly civilians are enough."
"Think about it. Those ordinary civilians can shine in the end and make contributions to Ninglan New City. The nightmare attack is linked to death, and you, the city lord, become the only savior. Isn't this more conducive to your rule? Even... I can help you get rid of those guys you don't like."
"No... let me think about it again..." The city lord spoke in a tired tone.
"Do you still want to think about it? You've obviously been thinking about it for a long time, and you already have the answer in your heart. Why are you still struggling with it?"
"It would be great if your decision could be as strong and decisive as your muscles. Such a big thing happened in Ninglan New City and it has already exhausted the energy of your Ninglan New City. The low period of the external energy tide has passed. It won't be long before the energy tide arrives."
"The pressure that Ninglan New City will face will become increasingly greater... What do you think?"
"I…"
"Oh my~ I was so careless. How did a peeping little mouse get into your city lord's bedroom, which is known as the safest?" Before Ning Lanqiuyun could say anything, the nightmare demon suddenly got up, twisted her enchanting body and got off the bed.
"Still want to run? You can't escape~ It seems to be the little mouse in the dream." The nightmare demon sneaked into the dream, clenched his hand, a thin sword appeared, and then stabbed the little mouse with one blow.
"It really is a mouse." The nightmare demon said with a smile as he watched the mouse disappear on the tip of the sword.
Then he turned around and looked at the city lord with a smile.
"Now...it seems like you don't have a choice."
"Do not…"
"This rat is the effect of a spell. So... guess whether this is the spontaneous behavior of those outsiders, or... oh~ it seems that none of it matters, right?"
"Now if you still want to secure your position as city lord, you should know better than me what you should do."
At this moment, Tan Han in the outside world suddenly opened his eyes, and when he realized something was wrong, he immediately used magic to move away from Ninglan Township Fort.
Her scouting rat was killed with one strike, but before that, she discovered even more explosive news.
That city lord...is actually in cahoots with the nightmare demon!
She didn't even want to recall that scene a second time, it was too eye-catching.
But this also indicates that the worst has already happened.
After knowing what the nightmare demon was like, Tan Han already felt a little afraid.
But whether they are outsiders from the Extraordinary Academy or nightmares, they are all outsiders to the mayor of Ninglan New City in this world. This has nothing to do with friendship, but only with interests.
Even though those nightmares caused great damage to Ninglan New City, the other side can still expel them, or absorb the nightmares. There is no doubt about this. They are even more efficient than the outsiders from the Extraordinary Academy.
“This city lord… is actually prepared to sacrifice those ordinary people to establish a high-pressure rule…” Tan Han naturally understood that nightmares could not kill people, but if the city lord cooperated with the nightmare demon, then the death caused by the nightmare demon sucking people’s souls would be transferred to the nightmare, and the city lord who cooperated with the nightmare demon would become the only one who could solve the nightmare. Even if ordinary people wanted to resist, they probably would not have the strength to do so, unless they wanted to live under the threat of death from the nightmare.
Once such a situation occurs, they, the outsiders, will be completely at a disadvantage.
Even in order to form this long-term cooperation, those nightmare demons cannot completely eliminate those nightmares, so they, the outsiders, cannot go back.
This is an endless loop.
If such a situation really came to be, they, the outsiders, would not even have any bargaining chips with the other side. They themselves were a threat and could even be food for the nightmare demons. How could they be so kind as to let them go?
After reaching a safe place, Tan Han thought again and again, and came to a streetside coffee shop according to the location in his memory.
"What do you need, sir?" the shop owner here asked enthusiastically.
"A cup of Star Moon Coffee." Tan Han said, but her eyes subconsciously looked at the menu behind her, and there was no such coffee on it.
"Ms. Tan Han? It's an honor." The store manager greeted in a low voice, "Anything else you need?"
"Please help me contact Ning Lanqiuyue and tell me my name, thank you." Tan Han said.
This is how Tan Han contacts Ning Lanqiuyue. After all, Tan Han cannot use the communication equipment in Ninglan New City. If she wants to find the other party, she needs to communicate with her through some special places.
Naturally, her behavior was not her own personal behavior, but also a prerequisite for the cooperation of the girl Ning Lanqiuyue.
Tan Han had contact with this girl named Ning Lanqiuyue before, but later the other party took the initiative to find the other party and then the current cooperation came about.
Since there was no breakthrough in the intelligence and information obtained from the city lord, obtaining intelligence from this girl is also an option. After all, she is the city lord's daughter.
In fact, compared to the daughter who was not valued by the city lord, Tan Han actually wanted to get in touch with the person named Ning Lanqiuyu. She had been to the Ninglan New City History Museum. None of the Ninglan city lords in history were women. This was enough to show that Ning Lanqiuyu was being trained by Ning Lanqiuyun as the next generation of Ninglan city lord, even though the other party still seemed to have a rough personality now.
But the flaws do not cover up the shortcomings. The other party must know more about many things than the girl named Ning Lan Qiu Yue, but the other party seems to have some hostility towards outsiders. This hostility seems to come from the fact that all the disasters in Ninglan New City are related to their arrival.
Not long after, a figure walked into the cafe and was welcomed into a private room by the store manager.
"Hello, Miss Tan Han, nice to meet you again. It seems like you have good news for me?" Ning Lanqiuyue closed the door as soon as she came in, and asked the girl in front of her.
"I may disappoint you. The news I bring may not be good news for you." Tan Han shook his head and said.
"Father... could he really..."
"It might be worse than you think."
"What's the matter? Please explain it clearly." Ning Lanqiuyue pulled out a chair and sat in front of Tan Han and asked.
"I know, but this is an intelligence exchange transaction. I have confirmed your guess, but I need you to provide equivalent intelligence in exchange for the specific situation." At this moment, Tan Han paused and did not say anything else.
"So... you still don't quite trust me." Ning Lanqiuyue calmed down after Tan Han's pause. She then adjusted her mindset and retracted her anxious attitude. After all, the information she most wanted to verify was already in her hands.
"That's natural. After all, we don't have much basis for trust. It's too obvious that your Ninglan New City is on guard against us outsiders. I just want to learn more about things we should know." Tan Han said calmly.
"Indeed, there is no need to make the relationship between us so stiff. Previously, we only had a quick conversation. I wonder how much trust you have in the girl named Xiaohan you mentioned?"
"Xiao Han, why do you suddenly mention her?"
"Your reaction is a bit exaggerated. It seems that the other person holds a high position in your heart. Originally, there should not have been much contact between us, but Xiaohan recommended you to me. She has a very high opinion of you."
"Xiao Han mentioned me to you? Where is she now? She is no longer in the Extraordinary Research Association."
"You really want to know? It seems that we do have some common topics. How about we chat about it? Let's give it a try... Don't treat our meeting as a transaction of intelligence information, but as a conversation between friends. That Teacher Xiaohan... Oh no, it should be Scholar Xiaohan now, she has made a big fuss, even... to the point where even I can't intervene."
"Okay." Tan Han nodded. She also wanted to know what Xiao Han had done.
"That's right. Friends should let down their guard like this. How about... talking to Xiaohan first? I'm very curious about her. I can't see through her. To me, all her actions seem to be covered by a veil. I don't know her true meaning. Would you mind telling me something about her?"
"I think...she should also be a legendary character in your world, right?"
Chapter 321 Control and Wanted Outsiders
An extraordinary research base in the underground city.
After the initial primitive rune ritual, there was a breakthrough in the study of nightmares.
It’s just that what I’m researching seems to be very different from what they expected. For the people here, they naturally hope to study nightmares with the goal of eliminating them, but the value of nightmares to me is far more than that.
The nightmare itself is something in the dream, and it is also the part of the dream creature that once belonged to the dream.
However, it can use human consciousness as a springboard to communicate between reality and dreams. Even if it is only information communication, it is a very powerful ability.
