Dogs fight…

Although this description is very appropriate, Qin Zhibo is still a little unable to complain.

Would you like to show some respect? That’s called a kobold!

This task was triggered suddenly. Qin Zhibo took a look at the countdown under the system task, but couldn't leave immediately without taking a glance at it.

【00:19:57】

【00:19:56】

…

Judging from this countdown, I have to lie here and watch for at least 20 minutes.

It really echoes the old saying that wives often use to scold husbands who like to join in the fun - you can watch a dog fight for a long time!

But even if the mission didn't happen this time, Qin Zhibo still wanted to see where the traditional ghouls came from. They seemed to have suddenly emerged from the shaft just now...

So, Qin Zhibo turned around and whispered to Koizumi Hongzi and Hondo Eyou.

"You guys go first, I'll watch here for a while..."

"See?" The two of them showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

Can you join in the excitement?

But then I thought about it, isn’t it just a detective’s instinct to join in the fun?

However, Koizumi Hongzi still reminded: "You can look, but you can't look too much...otherwise you will blend into them..."

The origin of the ghoul is recorded in the magic book of the Red Magic Family.

In addition to native ghouls, humans can also transform into ghouls. As long as they have subtle contact, recognition, and integration into the living habits and everything of ghouls, their bodies will naturally transform into ghouls.

The witch clan once made a pact with the ghoul, making them their servants.

But after a long period of time, the witch discovered that after being in contact with ghouls for a long time and accepting their way of existence, the witch would slowly transform into a kobold-like appearance.

This is also the reason why some legends about witch hunting describe witches as extremely ugly, with wrinkled faces and as ugly as a dog.

In fact, not only the ghouls, but also the creatures that can sign a contract with the witch, or the ghost gods summoned by divine magic, cannot be deeply contacted or understood.

Because of this, Koizumi Hongzi always treats the summoned objects as pure tools and sends them away immediately after use, without daring to delay for a moment.

"I understand. You go ahead. I will follow you later."

Qin Zhibo nodded in response, watched the two of them leave, and then lay down on the ground to watch the "dog fight".

…

The battle down the shaft was very protracted.

The physical strength of ghouls is much stronger than that of humans, and they seem to never get tired. Qin Zhibo fully realized this in the dreamland.

The ghouls below bit each other and fought each other desperately for twenty minutes. They were all covered with bruises and blood stained the puddles, and then they gradually stopped.

[Congratulations on completing: Watch "Dog Fight"]

[Acquire 1000 general skill proficiency]

They were separated from each other, making sounds like crying, and seemed to be discussing a truce.

Qin Zhibo listened to a series of strange sounds. Since he couldn't understand them, he could only make up their dialogue in his mind.

"Everyone is a fool. I can't tell the difference. What should I do?"

"Then we'll make another date, then withdraw!"

"How to withdraw?"

"Go back and forth from there!"

"Okay, let's go back and forth from there!"

"Ears! Pick up your ears!"

All the ghouls don't care whose ears are on the ground, they just pick them up and leave.

The body of the subway driver was also carried away by a ghoul.

There were two waves of ghouls, one running towards the sewer pipe of the shaft, and the other coming towards the top.

Qin Zhibo immediately put on the [Lord of the Rings], entered the invisible state, and was ready to escape at any time.

Because ghouls have an excellent sense of smell, just like dogs, they can still smell things at close range.

Although traditional ghouls do not eat living people, they may still attack living people, just not for the purpose of eating.

But these ghouls did not reach the height of the iron bridge, but passed through a hole in the well wall halfway.

When the shaft became calm again, Qin Zhibo dared to look out.

He fixed the hook on the iron bridge, grabbed the rope, and climbed down along the winding abandoned pipes on the shaft wall.

At a height of only 10 meters from the deepest point of the shaft, there is an abandoned pipe mouth on the shaft wall.

The diameter of the mouth of this pipe is less than one meter, allowing only an adult to crawl in with his body curled up.

As for the inside of the pipe, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

Qin Zhibo picked off a small piece of cement from the wall of the well next to it and threw it inside to explore the path.

However, the cement block disappeared into the darkness and disappeared without even making a sound of impact.

Obviously, this is the space passage leading to the dreamland, just like the cellar in the cemetery of the Suzuki family villa.

This kind of space passage is usually located in inaccessible ghoul lairs, seas of trees, sewers, and cemeteries, and has time limits, so it is difficult for humans to discover it.

Qin Zhibo looked around at the surrounding pipeline layout, silently noted the location in his mind, and climbed back to the iron bridge along the rope.

By the time they caught up with Koizumi Koko and Hondo Eiyu who were in front, they had already finished calling for help, and people from the Subway Operations Office would arrive soon.

Koizumi Hongzi's tone was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Zhibo's disobedience to his advice and watching the "dog fight" for 30 minutes.

"Why did you take so long to come?"

Qin Zhibo waved his hand and said with a smile: "No man can refuse to watch a wonderful dog fight..."

"If there is, it must be the excavator next to it that has started construction."

…

When the three of them returned to the Hilton Hotel, it was already 2 o'clock in the evening.

tomorrow……

No, they had to go their separate ways today, so the three of them quickly went back to their rooms to sleep after washing up.

Qin Zhibo was lying on the bed, and he couldn't help but think of the dream again.

There are three ways to enter the dreamland: the dreamer, the dreamer, and the physical body.

For Qin Zhibo, in addition to using the space channel to enter physically, entering dreams is a good way.

Dreaming is the way most people enter the fantasy dream world, because this method is the simplest, which is to have a dream full of "downward stairs".

The last time Qin Zhibo had this dream, he was interrupted by a phone call, and he never dreamed again for a long time.

He thought that if he used the dreamland to travel between various ghoul lairs in the real world, he would not dare to travel frequently.

To pass through the ghoul's lair, you must pass through the Ashless Space and the dungeon of the Gug Giant. Without the escort of the ghoul, it is almost impossible for humans to pass through.

And it is impossible for me to just happen to meet Matsumoto Ryohei out looking for food every time.

Therefore, the best way is to enter the dreamland by dreaming, agree on a time, and then let Matsumoto Ryohei take you into the dreamland.

The advantage for dreamers is that although they do not enter the dreamland physically, they are not afraid of dying in the dreamland. The price is only to lose the dream forever.

The difference between a dreamer and a dreamer is that the dreamer can create certain things in the dreamland. In the dream, he wants to be a rich man, and he can be resurrected in the dream even if he dies in reality.

Unfortunately, not everyone has this ability to "daydream", but it is an innate ability...

As Qin Zhibo thought about it, his head fell into a drowsy state of fatigue.

When he "awakened" again, a downward staircase actually appeared in front of him.

It's still that long, sloping downward staircase. In the endless darkness, only the 3 to 5 steps ahead can be clearly seen. This is the only passage here.

"Is this... really a dream?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, he really "thought about it every day and dreamed about it at night".

I didn't know the meaning of this dream before, so I didn't think about it anymore, so naturally it wouldn't be easy for me to dream about it again.

But this time was different. Qin Zhibo not only wanted to go to Dreamland, he even actually went to Dreamland once.

With his previous experience, he boldly stepped forward this time.

Just walk down the 70 steps, and the familiar flame cave appears in front of you.

On both sides of the cave entrance stood gatekeepers wearing double crowns and dressed as temple priests. After confirming Qin Zhibo's identity, the heavy stone door behind him slowly opened.
