Chapter 61: Judgment Error?
The electric shock on the wrist wasn't powerful enough to harm the body, but it was enough to wake a sleeping person.
After pressing the button, Chen Zhenghai's arm quickly rose and then fell back down.
This is an unconscious stress response in his arm after being electrocuted.
Chen Zhenghai's eyelids twitched rapidly, and his body was still trembling. His eyes were open, but Xu Wei could only see the whites of his eyes. His eyeballs rolled upwards, as if his consciousness was still trapped in sleep!
Xu Wei immediately turned on the headlamp above Chen Zhenghai's head, and the strong light focused in front of Chen Zhenghai's eyes.
She then patted Li Jiuhe on the shoulder.
Li Jiuhe remained motionless and unresponsive. Xu Wei grew anxious and quickly pressed the stun button on Li Jiuhe's wrist again.
But Li Jiuhe also raised his arm slightly and trembled slightly, but still did not react.
His situation seemed even worse than Chen Zhenghai's. At least Chen Zhenghai was struggling and still had a chance to wake up, while Li Jiuhe was not even struggling and was completely controlled by the dream.
Xu Wei was anxious, so she turned on all her headlamps and quickly slapped Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai, triggering the electric shocks again while shouting.
……
In a dream.
Li Jiuhe had been pinned to the ground by the skin-peeling man. The man's body was limp, and no matter how he attacked, it had no effect.
Under the control of the nightmare, even with strong physical abilities, one cannot perform at all.
Moreover, since it was a dream, Li Jiuhe did not have any weapons to carry with him, such as the silver-etched dagger.
This also shows that it was already quite unusual for the little boy Zhao Yuanhang to be able to project that dormouse here.
Therefore, the speculation that the dormouse is the Nightmare has been further confirmed.
Li Jiuhe felt his stomach had been scratched open by the skin-peeling man, and his body was covered in blood. He struggled to stay upright while glancing in Chen Zhenghai's direction.
They noticed that Chen Zhenghai was extremely anxious, indicating that something must have gone wrong, preventing him from leaving the nightmare immediately.
At this moment, Chen Zhenghai almost crushed his own condensed consciousness, his knuckles turning white, while he bit his tongue hard.
Having pushed his sequencing abilities to their limits, he kept telling himself, "The illusions I see are all manifestations of my own mind..."
The next second, Zhao Yuanhang, who was holding the pet cage, let out a scream. He was finally terrified by the sight of the skin-shedding man attacking Li Jiuhe and disappeared from the spot.
The pet cage fell to the ground and rolled to the feet of the elderly man in the wheelchair.
The small door of the cage opened, and the dormouse crawled out, moving quickly before biting the old man's ankle.
The old man also let out a scream and vanished.
"Jiuhe, hang in there!"
Chen Zhenghai's voice rang out.
Li Jiuhe endured the excruciating pain in her abdomen and looked again. She saw that Chen Zhenghai had finally disappeared, and he hadn't screamed when he disappeared, which meant that he had voluntarily withdrawn from this nightmare.
With Chen Zhenghai's abilities, he should be able to wake himself up quickly after waking up in the real world.
only……
While struggling against the peeling man, Li Jiuhe quickly scanned the living room.
The little boy Zhao Yuanhang, the old man in the wheelchair, and the middle-aged man from earlier were all dead.
If I hadn't undergone the trials of the Morning Bell at 27, and hadn't had a strong mental support, my consciousness would have been extinguished long ago under the attack of this skin-shedding man.
The little dormouse quickly crawled toward Liu Jiaqi, who was retreating and screaming.
He climbed up her trouser leg, then grabbed her shirt and continued crawling. Soon he reached Liu Jiaqi's fair neck and her mouth. With a swift movement, he slipped into the girl's mouth.
The next second, an immense and unparalleled sense of stimulation descended, causing Li Jiuhe to tremble involuntarily.
His consciousness quickly detached, moving away from the peeling man and the environment of this nightmare, and everything went black.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself half-lying in the passenger seat of the official car, panting heavily and covered in sweat.
It was clear that Chen Zhenghai, who had already woken up, had forcibly awakened himself using some special method.
Seeing that he had woken up, Chen Zhenghai did not hesitate for a moment and immediately pushed open the car door and ran out.
He said to the police officer in charge of the scene who was waiting not far away, "Captain Yuan, we've identified a family surnamed Zhao. There's a young boy named Zhao Yuanhang in the house, and we've also captured a small mouse that was kept in a pet cage!"
Although the police officer in charge, Yuan, was somewhat surprised, he did not hesitate and immediately led his men to the nearby mobile housing building.
Seeing that Li Jiuhe had woken up and seemed to be alright, Xu Wei immediately jumped out of the car and followed Chen Zhenghai to make the arrest.
Li Jiuhe grabbed her hand and asked, "How long have we been asleep?"
"About half an hour," Xu Wei said. "If you feel unwell, just rest in the car. Leave the rest to me..."
As she spoke, she took out her bone flute.
After listening to Chen Zhenghai's explanation, she roughly knew what the target she needed to control was.
Soon, the melodious sound of the flute filled the air and quickly spread.
As she played the flute, Xu Wei approached the residential building.
Li Jiuhe remained seated in the car, the scene he had last witnessed in his nightmare replaying in his mind.
He could sense that his self-defined mission of "capturing the Nightmare" was still ongoing and had not ended.
After a short while, he muttered to himself, "Why did it bite the old man in the wheelchair when it attacked him, but crawl into Liu Jiaqi's mouth when it attacked her?"
The more I thought about it, the more something felt off.
Moreover, although their second team seemed to have solved the Nightmare case, almost all the victims in the building were dead, which was not a good ending.
With doubts in his heart, Li Jiuhe quickly chose to reset the mission and reset it directly to the location of the time anchor point he had set.
In a flash, he found himself standing in his first dream.
He turned his head and saw that his wife's body was still lying on the bed, motionless.
The wardrobe door had been opened, revealing a crack.
However, the pale little hand had not yet reached out to beckon him.
Li Jiuhe had no time to waste; he knew what was going to happen next, so he didn't wait.
He walked straight to the wardrobe, opened the door, and ducked inside.
There was nothing in the darkness, and Li Yi, who had originally intended to intimidate him, was nowhere to be found. Li Jiuhe walked very quickly.
Before long, his eyes lit up, and he found himself in the second shared dream.
Because this is a shared dream, this place will not change even if the mission is reset several times.
Looking up, I saw "Chen Zhenghai" standing among the four people, talking to them.
Li Jiuhe quickly approached.
When Chen Zhenghai saw Li Jiuhe arrive, he immediately winked at him and then said to the others, "This is my friend."
"No, we are not!"
Li Jiuhe shook his head, punched the guy hard in the face, and then reached out to press down on his neck.
The next second, "Chen Zhenghai," who was in a state of surprise, suddenly disappeared, which startled everyone else.
Li Jiuhe, however, was unfazed and said to Liu Jiaqi and the other three, "Let's go to your room first. This weirdo is pretending to be my friend; my real friend won't be here for a while."
"Uncle, I want to take my toy, otherwise it might be dangerous." At this moment, the little boy Zhao Yuanhang suddenly remembered his pet dormouse.
Li Jiuhe smiled and nodded emphatically: "Okay, go get it!"
