Chapter 1, Nightmare
Yang Ke was lying on the bed, his eyes were covered in blood, and the sheets on his back were already wet.
He glanced at the phone and it was just one o'clock in the morning.
The nightmare he had been unable to sleep well for several days, so his mental state began to have problems recently.
He often gets distracted at work and cannot concentrate during meetings. He is caught by his leader more than once. If this continues, he will probably be bedding and leave.
Yang Ke turned on the desk lamp and picked up the sleeping pills on the bedside table. He had prescribed Bailemian before and had no effect. I hope he could have a good sleep this time.
After taking sleeping pills, Yang Ke replaced the wet bed sheets and lay down again.
Instead of turning off the desk lamp, he stared at the projection of floaters under the yellow light.
"If I had that nightmare again this time, I would never run away."
The effect of sleeping pills is very obvious. Not long after, Yang Ke closed his eyes deeply.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on the squeaking rocking chair again and returning to the familiar and unfamiliar study room.
"It's this damn nightmare again!"
On the old desk was a thick book with half-open words written on it, and next to it was a kerosene lamp with dim light. The flames inside were big and small, as if they could be extinguished at any time.
The pendulum clock on the wall kept ticking, but the hour and minute hands were always pointed at twelve o'clock, and only the second hand kept moving forward, and took another step back, tick, tick, tick...
There was a pool of blood on the ground, emitting a disgusting smell.
Several books that fell from the bookshelf were scattered in a mess, and one of them fell in blood had even been dyed into weird black.
Yang Ke was very sure that what he was doing now was still the same nightmare as before, and the location of various things in the study was not changed at all.
This means that the monster will also appear.
Yang Ke noticed that the door of the study was wide open, and he said intimidatingly that he was terrible. He rushed over and closed the door, and then quickly inserted everything that could be inserted.
Although he said before going to bed that he would not escape again, even in his dream, he should find a weapon to deal with the monster first.
But there is nothing in the study that can be used as a weapon except a crutch hanging next to the desk.
But the crutch has no sharp parts, what can I do with it? Can I tickle the monster?
A low gasp suddenly came from outside the door, scaring Yang Ke so much that he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, not daring to make any sound.
Judging from his previous experience of dreaming, this is a humanoid monster covered in hair. It has a very sharp nose and is quick to move. Yang Ke can't escape it at all.
At the same time, the monster's forelimbs have sharp claws, and wooden doors like the study can be easily torn apart.
So he must not be discovered by monsters before finding the right weapon.
Yang Ke held his breath and heard the sound of gasping outside the door getting closer and closer. He could even smell the stench on the other person's body, which was a worse smell than the blood on the ground.
Fortunately, the monster stayed at the door for a while and then left.
Yang Ke breathed a little relieved and returned to the desk to pick up the black crutch.
No matter what, having something in your hand is better than not.
The crutch is pitch black all over and there are no patterns on it.
The feeling of holding the crutch in his hand was a little heavy, which surprised Yang Ke.
This heaviness is obviously not something that ordinary wood can achieve.
Just as Yang Ke wanted to study the difference between this crutch, there was a loud bang and something seemed to be smashed into the door of the study.
Yang Ke was so scared that his heart stopped for a moment. He hurriedly hid behind the desk, holding the crutch tightly with his hands trembling.
What's going on? Didn't that monster leave?
Did it find someone in the study?
Damn it, if it rushes in, it will fight it!
Bang!
The door of the study room was hit again, and this time it was directly knocked open a crack.
Yang Ke saw a cold-blooded and crazy eye from the crack, which was the monster's eyes!
The moment he looked at that eye, Yang Ke realized that he had been exposed.
He can no longer hide, he must fight back!
At this moment, Yang Ke's crutch with his hands suddenly clicked, as if he had turned on some switch, and then he actually pulled out a thin sword from the crutch!
It's actually a weapon!
Yang Ke's eyes lit up, and the appearance of the thin sword finally made him muster up the courage.
He rushed to the door, stabbed the sword in his hand into the crack, and penetrated the monster's eyes.
"Aoah!"
The monster's shrill scream sounded outside the door, and Yang Ke took the opportunity to open the door and stabbed the sword into the monster's chest again.
Yang Ke has had close contact with this monster more than once, but this is the first time such a reversal.
"Let you disturb me and die for me!!!"
Yang Ke vented all the aura that had been accumulated for a long time and pushed the monster half a body taller than him down the second floor.
But the monster's vitality is much more tenacious than Yang Ke imagined. It quickly struggled to get up and stared at Yang Ke with its only remaining eye.
The monster exposed its messy fangs and its hair exploded like static electricity.
Just when Yang Ke didn't understand what it wanted to do, the monster suddenly jumped up and smashed it on the second floor like a bomb.
Bang!
Because the monster lost one of its eyes, it did not hit Yang Ke this time, but instead shifted the direction, smashed the wall, and crashed into the study.
Looking at the big hole in the study wall being smashed, a cold sweat broke out from Yang Ke's back.
This power is too terrifying!
Yang Ke realized that he was definitely not a match for the monster in the head-on conflict, and he had to find a way to create the attack conditions just now.
There was another room next to the study room. He decisively opened the door and then quickly inserted the door from inside.
The room has a double bed, and a wardrobe, which is obviously a bedroom.
However, Yang Ke was not in a mood to explore. He stood at the door, waiting for the monster to hit him very nervously.
The monster soon appeared at the door again, and its anger could be heard from its harsh roar, but strangely, no matter how the monster roared, it just didn't hit the door.
Is there something special about this room?
Yang Ke waited at the door for a while, and after confirming that the monster really had no intention of hitting the door, he looked at the room in confusion.
Just like what Yang Ke saw at first when he came in, the layout of this bedroom is very simple, with only a double bed, a mirror that is tall for one person and a wardrobe.
Is it because the room itself prevents the monster from coming in, or is there something here that makes it feel afraid?
Yang Ke came to the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the wardrobe.
There was only a black top hat and a long men's trench coat inside, and nothing else was there.
Yang Ke looked at the clothes in the closet, then at the crutch sword in his hand, as if he had some clarity.
Perhaps what the monster is afraid of is the smell on this dress.
No matter what, I will try it out.
Yang Ke took out a black windbreaker and top hat from the closet and put it on himself, then re-shewn the crutch sword.
He touched the pocket on his windbreaker and took out an ancient metal pendant from it. The metal ring of the pendant was embedded with a small glass bottle, and there was some red liquid inside the bottle.
Yang Ke held it in his hand and shook it, and the red liquid inside would shake like ordinary water.
Without thinking too much, he hung the pendant around his neck, then came to the mirror and sorted out his image.
Yang Ke is 25 years old this year, 1.80 meters tall. Although his figure is not perfect, at least from the appearance, he is a sturdy type. Friends often call him a clothes rack, because many clothes on him will give people the illusion of tailor-made clothes.
For example, this windbreaker now perfectly matches his figure.
Yang Ke is quite resolute and is a tough handsome guy. However, because of nightmare things these days, he has no intention of taking care of himself, so his chin is a bit stubble, which makes him look a little decadent.
But today, his nightmare has finally made good progress.
The monster outside the door kept roaring, trying to scare Yang Ke out of it.
But it never dared to get too close to the door.
At this moment, the bedroom door slowly opened, and the monster immediately showed a fierce look, ready to bite him into pieces when the other party came out.
A low growl like a car motor came from the monster's throat, but as the door gradually opened, its roar became lower and lower.
When the door was completely opened, the monster saw Yang Ke wearing a black windbreaker, leaning on a black crutch, and wearing a black hat on his head, suddenly showing a fearful expression.
