my dream adventure

Chapter 72 Escape Room (22)

The people in the town are amiable, most of them are ordinary farmers who rely on the sky for their food, and the buildings are also brick and tile structures that are rarely seen in the city.

The two found a vacant lot to park, and then went to the market for a stroll, bought the ingredients for tonight's cooking, and took the opportunity to search for clues about Shanligou.

"Auntie, do you know that there is a small mountain village called Shanligou near here?" Relying on his affinity as an "invincible young girl", Lin Yuan started to strike up a conversation with the market aunt.

As soon as the aunt heard the words "Shanligou", she immediately ran away holding the vegetable basket. The explosive power of her legs was comparable to that of Liu Xiang. Lin Yuan thought that the aunt was in a hurry and rushed home to have a baby. ?

One after another, he asked several other kind-hearted passers-by, basically in the same situation, either shaking their heads or pretending to be stupid, no one was willing to answer him directly.

In the end, an elderly man took the initiative to tell them that Shanligou was a taboo word for the residents of the town.

Some things happened there a few years ago, people were basically evacuated, those who could go to the city went to the city early, and those who had no money also moved down the mountain to live, there were not many people who wanted to live in that area.

When Lin Yuan wanted to continue asking for more details, the old man shook his head and left again. While walking, he also told them not to go up the mountain easily, curiosity killed the cat!
The two found nothing, so they could only find a hotel to stay in first, and wait until the next day to ask if they could find a guide to lead the way.

Shanligou, a small place that can't be found on the Baidu map, can only rely on the clues Zhang Yang and the others have investigated before, as well as scattered information on the Internet, to speculate its general location.

The reason why a clear plan cannot be determined is also because this place is too remote, and no information can be found, so there is no way to formulate an action plan.

After going to the hotel to rest, Lin Yuan went outside for a walk alone. The whole town was surrounded by mountains, and the mountains were shrouded in dense clouds and mists. The deep woods seemed to have a mysterious atmosphere.

In the evening, the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, and the crowd walked quickly, as if they were all returning home before midnight.

Lin Yuan lingered for a while, watching the moths on the street lamp fluttering away to meet the light, and then being swallowed by the gecko ambushing under the lampshade. This scene seemed to remind him of something, but the thought flashed However, it is difficult to capture.

Lin Yuan is naturally clear about the meaning of moths flying into the flames, and it's too coincidental that everything happened in connection with their actions this time.

Zhang Yang met the chef of Baohu's family at the fish stall, and accidentally learned that Baohu was going home to visit his mother. They traced the clues to investigate the clues of Shanligou, and came to this town to rest on the appointed day.

The development of the whole process was too smooth, as it should be, as if the script had been written in the first place.

Combining the rumors the two of them heard in the market during the day, and the advice of the kind uncle later, something must have happened to that mountain. The small mountain village of Shanligou is by no means as simple as they imagined at first.

It is very likely that what led them here was a trap deliberately set by the dark ones, in order to gather them here and catch them all in one go.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's inner anxiety became more and more violent. He ran back to the hotel quickly, and his mind was still running fast all the way.

If the entire dream is regarded as Yuan Shaoguang's spiritual world, the characters appearing in the dream are all the embodiment of his own personality energy.

There are extremely contradictory parts in his heart. On the one hand, the part that has become distorted and evil under the influence of the dark man, on the other hand, is his love for Ruoruo, and the idea of ​​self-help deep in his heart.

That's why two different types of dream characters appear at the same time. The chef of the Baohu family who guides them all the way here, and the folks in the small town who keep persuading them not to go up the mountain, represent the two sides of evil and good.

Although we have figured out this truth, what does the place Shanligou represent?

Is it the fragile side of Yuan Shaoguang's subconscious, or the lair where the dark ones live?

Lin Yuan was a little worried at this moment, the opponent came prepared, but he and Zhang Yang were unarmed, how to fight each other?

In the hotel, Zhang Yang waited patiently for Lin Yuan's return, and did not act rashly, so Lin Yuan told him the conjecture he had obtained after going out.

Zhang Yang listened and nodded, and said that he had doubts for a long time, but if he didn't go deep into the tiger's lair, he would not catch the tiger. .

Lin Yuan was eating the cold boxed lunch in the hotel, and the dim light shone on the gray walls, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

He has always been curious about the actions of the four to capture the Dark One. Judging by their appearance, it is definitely not the first time they have come into contact with the Dark One. Facing this monster hidden in the depths of the human subconscious, how can they deal with it? ?
All the equipment and skills I have can't be used now, and Yang Xiaoxiao is a girl with no combat power. Could it be possible to break the round with just a mouthful of his psychologist?

"Brother Yang, what should we do if we collide head-on with the Dark One?" After thinking twice, Lin Yuan still asked.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang has always been the type to answer Yang Xiaoxiao's questions. He is not used to thinking wildly, so he has never doubted Yang Xiaoxiao in front of him.

"The Dark One is not easy to deal with. According to our previous experience, it sometimes manipulates dream characters to deliberately cause trouble, and it is difficult for us to distinguish which ones are good and which ones are evil. As a result, sometimes our team will mix Some spies."

The examples cited by Zhang Yang are all his experiences. He and Sister Lily entered a host’s dream before, and the dark man manipulated a little girl to lead them to a cannibal village. The two of them were almost hung on the grill by the villagers. It has become "roasted whole kernels".

"Is this dark man quite smart?" Lin Yuan nodded. Judging from the previous series of coincidences, this dark man is indeed not an ordinary person, and belongs to the type with online IQ.

"If it is not possessed by a dream character, it is not easy to deal with. The dark one has no entity, and we cannot cause damage to it by punching and kicking. Therefore, we need to equip corresponding special equipment."

Lin Yuan was taken aback. He didn't expect to hear the word "special equipment" from Zhang Yang's mouth?
He originally thought that special equipment was a game term randomly picked up by the system, but he didn't expect it to be related to the Dark One.

He is now more and more sure that the existence of the Dream Paradise game is to deal with "mysterious creatures" like the Dark One.
