Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 191 The Color of Steel

After such a small episode, Xing Tianyu didn't dare to sleep anymore.

But if you don’t sleep, your mind will feel drowsy but it’s very uncomfortable. Looking at the time, I probably slept for four or five hours, but it feels like I haven’t slept for a long time. It seems that this half-asleep and half-awake state has recovered The energy is completely inferior to real sleep.

He walked into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water. The face in the mirror was tired, and his eyes were bloodshot. Xing Tianyu thought that it would not be a problem if this continued. Well, this time it was his own phone that rang, but when he checked the number, it was Tao Zi calling.

"Hey?"

"Senior, why don't you come here quickly, I'm so scared." Xing Tianyu's heart tightened when he heard Taozi's crying voice, "What's going on? What happened?"

"I have been following what you said not to enter the Nightmare Dimension, but I accidentally entered the Nightmare Dimension when I fell asleep, and I saw the King of Nightmare, that giant purple eye, and——some came from outside my house. Weird, anyway, come quickly."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be there right away."

As Xing Tianyu said, he reached out and grabbed the windbreaker and put it on his body. After thinking for a while, he stuffed the pistol into his pocket, turned around and went out the door.

The rain outside has stopped, but the dark clouds have not dissipated. In addition, it is already night, but the light is darker than before.

Xing Tianyu hurriedly walked on the wet street, the air was filled with water vapor, cold and damp.

Taozi's house is not far from where he lives, Xing Tianyu didn't take a taxi, and arrived at the gate of the community 10 minutes later.

Xing Tianyu felt uneasy before entering the community. The community was surprisingly quiet, so quiet that there was not even a trace of human voice. When he walked into the guard room, he glanced inside and saw the guard inside. They were all lying on the table or lying on their backs in the chairs, as if they were asleep.

It's really not good, this situation is definitely not normal, you know it's only past seven o'clock, this is probably the fault of the Nightmare King!Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, but a figure appeared in front of him, standing on the stone road between the flower bed and the green trees.

"Where are you going?" the man said in a strange tone.

"Wei Zheng?" Xing Tianyu shouted, but immediately he found that the person was not Wei Zheng. The reason why he subconsciously connected him with Wei Zheng was because he, like Wei Zheng after he became a vegetable, had the same A face that seemed to be in deep sleep, without consciousness or expression.

However, his eyes are open, and the empty and lifeless eyes that are open, coupled with the dull expression that seems to be in a dream, make him look surprisingly strange, this kind of appearance can never appear on the face of normal people, It made Xing Tianyu subconsciously think of the possessed evil spirit and the dummy in the wax museum.

"You can't escape," the man said, his voice as hollow as his eyes. "You can't escape."

He continued to repeat, walking towards Xing Tianyu.

"You can't escape." The voices overlapped. Xing Tianyu turned sideways and saw two other people walking from both sides. They had the same expression and facial features. It feels like a replica.

Xing Tianyu wanted to draw his gun subconsciously, but he was still calm at this time several times. There must be a lot of cameras in the community. If he shoots and kills them, he will definitely be wanted, and he has enough troubles now up.

He didn't pull out his gun, but muttered in his heart - Perseverance Shield!
A nearly transparent spherical shield immediately appeared around him. Xing Tianyu was not sure whether the camera could capture the Perseverance Shield, but this was already his best choice. Without hesitation, Xing Tianyu moved directly towards the Someone in front bumped into it.

With a sound of collision, Xing Tianyu hit a path like a bowling ball, and the three expressionless guys were staggering like pins, Xing Tianyu didn't slow down, and rushed directly towards Taozi's apartment.

"You can't escape."

"You can't escape."

The deep and hollow voice kept ringing in his ears. Xing Tianyu didn't know how many such guys there were in this community, and he didn't care, he just ran with all his strength. Finally, Xing Tianyu came to the door of Taozi's house. He stretched out his hand He was going to knock on the door, but he was disturbed to find that the door of Taozi's house was open, which made Xing Tianyu's heart sink.

He carefully opened the door and walked in. The room was lit, and the flickering lights illuminated a figure sitting in front of the computer.

It was Tao Zi, she was operating the mouse and keyboard, clumsily fighting with the zombies on the screen.

On the screen, her character was thrown down by zombies again and again, and got up again and again, and it seemed that there was no blood left.

"Taozi?" Xing Tianyu tentatively called out, Taozi's body shook, and there was a scream on the screen, which turned into a blood red, Taozi put down the mouse and turned around, his eyes sparkled, "Good evening, senior , you are finally here." Tao Zi said with a smile on her face.

Taozi's expression was very vivid, and her eyes were unusually bright, completely different from those puppet-like idiots outside, but for some reason, Xing Tianyu felt something was wrong.

"Are you OK?"

"Of course I'm fine, look, am I fine?"

"Then the phone call just now?"

"Oh, it was just a nightmare. In fact, I finally found out that we don't have to be afraid of the Nightmare King at all, as long as we can be together."

As she spoke, she suddenly took off her shirt,

Xing Tianyu glanced at the screen next to him, and suddenly sneered, "You are not Taozi."

"Oh, why do you say that?" Tao Zi still asked with a smile.

"Taozi's game will never be so bad." Xing Tianyu raised his gun and shouted sharply, "Who are you? Merlin? The Nightmare King? Or are you all alone?"

"What's the difference?" Tao Zi said with a sneer, "Stop bluffing, I know you don't dare to shoot and kill your close friends with your own hands? Hehe, you won't do this, accept your fate, you are running away It won't fall."

Xing Tianyu couldn't help but his heart sank. Although he had already guessed it before, hearing the other party's confession still gave him a chill in his heart.

"Who says I can't shoot, maybe Taozi is dead, and all that's left is her body," Xing Tianyu aimed the gun at Taozi's forehead.

Although he really didn't want to do this, he still remembered that Taozi once said that it would be better to be dead than to be a walking dead.

"Um, is that so?" She closed her eyes suddenly, then opened them abruptly. The face that was originally sneering turned into an expression of fear and struggle.

"Senior—help me!" Tao Zi's eyes were full of pain, "Please save me." She begged.

However, that expression was fleeting, and Tao Zi's face immediately returned to that sneering expression.

"Look, she is in my body, her consciousness is still alive, are you going to shoot your friend?" She raised a hand as she spoke, as if she wanted to caress Xing Tianyu's face , Xing Tianyu stepped back, but soon her back was against the wall, and her hand passed through the fortitude shield, because the fortitude shield can only resist the blade and sword shadow, but it cannot isolate the soft flesh.

"Come on, resist no more, join us and become a part of the great Nightmare Realm."

Her tone was gentle and confident, and she didn't care that Xing Tianyu's gun was pointed at her forehead. The weakness of human nature is always so obvious. She has proved this countless times in the past, and this time there will be no exception , she saw Xing Tianyu closed her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

However, just when her hand was about to touch Xing Tianyu's forehead, her expression suddenly changed, and the nearly transparent shield of perseverance around Xing Tianyu suddenly turned into an iron-like color, glowing with cold metal luster.

bump!The gunshot rang out, and Tao Zi's body froze for a moment, then collapsed.
