Manual of the Monster in City

81 Tapir

The real world and Steal The Heaven Tower.

    "No wonder..." Mengmeng said worriedly, "It is not the girl's dream itself that has been obstructing us, but the incense...Zhuang Zhoumeng."

    "Isn't it strange?" Bai Ling said lightly, "Zhuang Zhoumeng is a rare thing in the world. Such treasures of heaven and earth have been stored for many years, and they have been born with wisdom, not extraordinary things."

    "..." Mengmeng was speechless for a while, "Don't you...you knew this would happen?"

    "I don't know about this. I only say that there is such a possibility. Since there may have been a spiritual generation, it is difficult for me to grind the incense of Zhuang Zhoumeng into powder." Bai Ling said, "If not Carefully stifle the spirit of generation, but it is a crime like killing."

    "It turns out that Miss Bai Ling still cares about killing such a thing?" Mengmeng asked, as if with a sneer.

    "You know I don't mind." Bai Ling smiled and replied, "It's just that for people like me, the further you go, the more you need to walk on thin ice before you can go on safely. I don't want to have any troubles. After all. , This is the road to steal the sky. No one has ever succeeded before."

    Mengmeng did not answer, and continued to close his eyes, focusing on the situation in the dream world.

    The conversation between the two made Xiao Shanshan look bewildered. She looked at Yuan Muti suspiciously, as if she wanted to get an answer from him, but Yuan Muti answered her expressionlessly: "Huh?"

    Xiao Shanshan took a long breath and reluctantly chose to give up.

    Yuan Boyang lowered his head and looked at his little finger.

    From the beginning of this strange "ritual", he has remained motionless, staring at his left little finger. The rope tied to this finger is connected to Jia Qingming's little finger, but the rope has always been sagging, meaning that he did not choose to "summon" him.

    However, he vaguely felt a bad feeling.

    ...In fact, it is already a very serious situation when Yuan Boyang, who is full of yang, has a "bad feeling" in his heart.

    At this moment, I saw a strange black mark suddenly spread on the rope...

    It looked as if it had been burned by flames, and it quickly extended from the rope wrapped around Jia Qingming's little finger. The movement mode also seemed to be flame, which was burning in his direction through the fuze.

    But it was a strange black air.

    "It seems...it's too late." Bai Ling said anxiously, "Quickly untie the rope, and cut it off...otherwise..."

    With that, Bai Ling threw a spice-cutting knife into Yuan Boyang's hand.

    Yuan Mutou grasped the knife vigorously, and now there was only a small piece of the rope left, and it was about to burn to Yuan Muto's finger. The remaining part has become a dark existence, like a charred remains, but it has not been broken off, and it is still wrapped around Jia Qingming's left little finger in this weird form.

    "What about Jia Qingming?"

    Yuan Boyang raised his head and looked at Bai Ling, but his men did not cut the rope for a long time.

    Bai Ling did not answer.

    The blade hung above the rope, and it was slow to fall. When the black energy completely wrapped around Yuan Mu-mutou's little finger, he softened and fainted.

    "Yuan Xuechang! Yuan Xuechang!" Xiao Shanshan called to him anxiously, but soon the room in the Stealing Heaven Pavilion also began to be wrong, "What...what's going on?!" She asked in horror.

    Because the scene in front of me is really terrifying--

    Originally, there was a light white smoke lingering in the room of the Stealing Heaven Pavilion. This is Miss Bai Ling’s incense "Flower of Falsehood". As the name implies, it is made of incense similar to the fragrance of flowers. The environment similar to the dream world, as if it is also a false flower blooming in the dream world, can be connected with the dream world.

    It was a barrier set by Miss Bai Ling.

    However, now, a large amount of black mist has poured into this enchantment, naturally because the place connected with the dream has...has begun to be eroded by the energy of nightmares.

    And the junction between this realm and the dream realm had been re-adjusted from Bai Ling to the vicinity of Zhuang Yan's dream realm under the guidance of Mengmeng.

    Has it spread here?

    The black air envelops the furnishings in the Stealing Heaven Pavilion. Everything that the black air passes through quickly melts away, like heated butter, and there is a black liquid dripping from the surface of the melted object, like the kind of black air It is something extremely hot that makes everything melt.

    "Suck..." Bai Ling realized that things were not that simple anymore.

    "Only use that thing." Bai Ling said, already starting to move. She walked to the end of the room, where the door led to her own room. As she opened the door, the lingering black gas quickly entered Bai Ling's room. The gas was pervasive, as if to swallow everything.

    Bai Ling rummaged in the storage box on the dressing table. Finally, she turned out a cloth bag. The embroidery on the cloth bag formed a rather ancient pattern, which seemed to be some kind of strange creature...

    Elephant trunk, rhinoceros, oxtail, tiger foot.

    Like a strange creature that only exists in legends.

    Bai Ling opened the cloth bag. There was some scented powder in it. It didn't seem to be too much. It was emitting a strange fragrance, which was obviously not good.

    Incense powder is similar to the incense block. They are all used for incense, but the incense powder is easier to use and burns more fully.

    Bai Ling put all these powders into the incense burner, even though the black energy of the nightmare is constantly eroding this area, only when Bai Ling releases his spiritual power to resist it, can he continue to maintain this existence, otherwise they will all enter In the dream world, suffer the erosion of nightmare...

    But at this moment...At this critical moment, she actually took out a piece of incense seal in a leisurely manner!

    Fragrant seal is a mold with a hollow pattern on it, which is used to compact the incense powder and form a pattern on the surface.

    There is no exquisite pattern left on the compacted powder, only a small seal script with strong antiquity.

    When the incense is ignited, although it will take time for the fragrance to disperse, there is already a black aura rising from the incense burner... It is a very powerful aura, and with this, there is another kind of aura. The strange sound, like the very gentle chirping of an animal, sounds so peaceful.

    Even though Mengmeng was still in the living room outside, she already felt this special breath, so she asked:

    "Sure enough, did you use that..."

    "Well, I have no other way." Bai Ling said slowly, "In order to defeat the devil, I had to release... a stronger devil."

    On the incense powder that slowly burns and smokes, the words in the small compilation are quite clear...

    "tapir".

    It is engraved on it.

    ————

    In the dream world, Zhuang Yan dreams.

    For Zhuang Yan, all this is indeed her choice.

    A dream that can be controlled by yourself.

    Before that, she had never thought that something like this would really exist in the world. It feels like a "shop that can fulfill your wishes", incredible.

    That day seemed to be just a very ordinary day. She just went to the office to ask the teacher questions, and went to the playground as usual to send mineral water to her boyfriend who was training there, but suddenly heard him propose to break up.

    His steadfast look seemed to be different from usual.

    Something must be wrong... this world...

    She couldn't believe this fact, she couldn't remember how she stopped the tears in her eyes, or how she dragged her feet back to the classroom.

    Didn’t it always say on the Internet that no one can never live without anyone, everything just needs time to heal.

    She forced herself to go back to the classroom to do the exercise papers sent by the teacher. The simplest calculations floated in front of her eyes, and it seemed that they suddenly became strange.

    The world suddenly became so that she could not recognize anything.

    She lives in the world like a walking dead. She has always been an introverted person since she was a child. She rarely shares her feelings with others. No one realizes that there is something wrong with her. Everything seems to be the same as usual-school, school, and self-study in the afternoon. Lessons, occasional mock test papers from previous years.

    She felt like a ghost living outside the body, watching all this coldly, but unable to make a little change.

    And that exam is getting closer.

    That was the first unified exam after the arrival of the hellish senior year, and it was a very important exam.

    Zhuang Yan forced herself not to think about breaking up, but whenever she was in self-study classes in the afternoon and when she was training for sports specialty students, she couldn't help but walk to the playground and secretly look at the training sports students.

    But I accidentally saw Zhou Ming and the girl named Lin Ting go shopping for drinks between training sessions. Lin Ting is also a member of the school's track and field team and one of the school's special sports students.

    The two of them are also sports students, they also have a common language, and they are team members trained by the same coach. Before that, Zhuang Yan would often eat Lin Ting's flying vinegar. Although she knew that it was impossible, she just couldn't restrain the feeling in her heart. At this time, that feeling suddenly became stronger.

    Zhuang Yan even saw Zhou Ming smile very brightly, and took the initiative to help Lin Ting unscrew the bottle cap of the mineral water.

    This affectionate movement hurt her deeply. Zhuang Yan couldn't help but slander in her heart. This girl is also a sports student, just screwing a bottle cap, and pretending to be unable to unscrew the boy to do it for him? She felt the anger of Li Li in her heart, and she only felt that Lin Ting He De He Neng could actually... in such a short time...

    There must be something wrong...

    Yes, there is something wrong with this world. From that day on, starting from Zhou Ming suddenly saying that she would break up, something must have been wrong.

    She persuaded herself in this way, so now she faces the formulas and test questions that she is familiar with in the daily life, she only feels blank and unable to start, as if she is no longer her body and mind.

    That's why such a change happened suddenly, right? It must be.

    It was on that day that she accidentally arrived at Tooting Pavilion, which is a shop that fulfilled her wishes. The owner's name is Bai Ling. She is a woman with a lot of ancient charm in Chinese clothes. Like this store, she seems to have come to her after a long time.

    The owner Bai Ling waited at the door, not surprised by her arrival. As if foreseeing all of this a long time ago, waiting here.

    But when she asked about her wish, Zhuang Yan was deeply confused.

    Restore the previous state...

    Find my boyfriend...

    Keep Zhou Ming away from that annoying girl Lin Ting...

    Too many thoughts entangled in my mind.

    The owner Bai Ling said that she can only realize one wish, and that must be what she wants most in her heart. Only the deepest obsession can become the thing to be exchanged.

    There is only one wish that can be exchanged.
