The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 103 Another Barrier?

"I see. Tell me, is there such a possibility?" Yang Yang pushed open the office door excitedly.

"The people who hit the ghosts were all residents of a certain area, but when we went there, we found nothing. Could it be that the area was poisoned by someone, and they collectively had hallucinations?"

After hearing Yang Yang's hypothesis, Yuan Mu and the others looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"Your assumption sounds reasonable, but the possibility of actual operation is very low." Dancing in the Rain, who had been silent since entering, spoke now.

"That's right, I also agree with Dancing in the Rain's point of view." Seeing that Yang Yang still had a puzzled expression on his face, Yuan Mu kindly explained, "There are nothing more than two ways to poison so many people on a large scale: one is through water , but through the air. Both of these methods are very difficult to implement."

"Could it be that a monster did it? You are all so capable, shouldn't it be easy to poison a certain area? Didn't a monster haunt Zuo Yong's house last time?" Regarding the last time What happened in Xiangxi, Yang Yang still vividly remembers Fei's appearance.

"It is indeed possible that it was done by a monster, but it can make such a big movement under our noses without us noticing it at all. As far as I know, such a monster does not exist."

"But your idea is good, maybe we should think in a different direction. It's not bad, it really looks more and more like a captain." Yuan Mu patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

After returning from Dai Xia's house, Yang Yang saw the female ghost in red, but they didn't notice anything, even the ghost that Yang Yang saw next to them later, they didn't feel anything.

If he and Yang Yang were the only ones who didn't notice any abnormalities, then maybe he was careless, but Zhou Liang and Yu Zhongwu were also present at the time, and being able to escape the ghosts of the three of them simply didn't exist in this world. .

Yuan Mu turned his gaze to Yang Yang. The other party's assumption just now made him feel that maybe there was something there at that time, but that thing only affected mortals, and these monsters naturally couldn't feel it.

If you explain it like this, everything will make sense.

He rearranged his thoughts, briefly told everyone his conjecture, and then said: "Hong Yuan is right, what Dai Xia said should be the truth, no matter what purpose he approached us, at least in this matter He is honest in the matter, but the reason and purpose of the current haunting is not clear."

"This also explains why Yang Yang saw a female ghost in the dim sum shop that day, but the wind chime at the door was the same, and even Chacha didn't feel that something was wrong." Zhou Liang agreed with him, and continued to add: " The snake was psychic, and it was precisely because Chacha didn't find anything wrong, so we all agreed that it was just an illusion produced by Yang Yang who was too tired."

"Since everything is clear now, what should we do next?" Yang Yang saw that the other two didn't speak, as if he had acquiesced to what Zhou Liang and Yuan Mu said, so he asked, "Where do we start to investigate?"

"It's up to us. We probably won't be able to find anything out." After hearing what the two of them said, Yu Zhongwu pondered, "It seems that we should ask him to help. After all, he should be considered the most professional in such matters."

"Who?" Yang Yang asked subconsciously.

"You know me too." Yuan Mu smiled at him mysteriously, then opened his mouth and said two words, "Xie Zhi."

"He!?" Hearing this name, Yang Yang thought of the corpse he saw that day, and murmured in his heart, "Are you sure he will help us? How do I feel...he, he..."

Dance in the rain said while playing with the key in his hand: "He cares about the way of heaven, as long as it is against the way of heaven, he will not stand by and watch."

"Then I'll go and talk to him." Zhou Liang said, took out his phone, stood up and walked towards the door.

Yang Yang looked at Zhou Liang's back, then turned his head to look at the three people in the office, thinking, so they all know each other?
"There are not many monsters in the human world, even fewer in one city, so everyone is more or less connected." Seeing his surprised expression, Yuan Mu knew what he was thinking.

Hearing what he said, Yang Yang immediately understood the meaning.Isn't it?It was originally the minority party, so naturally they had to form a group.

After a while, Zhou Liang hung up the phone and walked in, saying to everyone, "He agreed and said he would go and see his friends."

"That's good." Yuan Mu nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at Hong Yuan.

The latter nodded knowingly: "All right, all right, I will continue to send people to investigate. But then again, my people are not very good at this kind of thing. Of course I will try my best, but don't have too much hope That's it."

"Thank you." For Hong Yuan's words, Yuan Mu was noncommittal. As long as she was willing to help, it would be a good thing. How dare he ask others to give an answer.

After the discussion, it was completely dark outside, and Feng Qiuhuang was about to start its official business, so the group didn't stop any longer and said goodbye to Hong Yuan.

Several people still drove Yang Yang to the alley first.But this time, when he got out of the car, Yuan Mu deliberately followed him.

I saw him handing over a small bead.

The bead is black, with a white line at the thickest point in the middle, just like the equator of the earth.

"This is?" Looking at the thing in his hand, Yang Yang couldn't react.

"Pharmacist bead." Yuan Mu stuffed the bead into his hand, "Healing the spirit and warding off evil spirits, holding it you should not be able to see those hallucinations."

Yang Yang's heart warmed, and he carefully put the beads away.

Yuan Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's been hard for you recently." Then he turned and walked back.

"Wait a moment."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Yuan Mu who was stopped turned his head, saw that the other party was hesitant to speak, stopped in his tracks, and waited patiently for him to speak.

"No, nothing." Yang Yang shook his head, then scratched his head embarrassingly. After a long time, he finally said two words, "Thank you."

After leaving these words, he quickly walked to the dim sum shop.

It wasn't until Yang Yang's back disappeared that Yu Zhongwu got out of the car and stood behind Yuan Mu, obviously he also heard the words of thanks: "He is really interesting, did you give him something?"

"Yeah." The latter nodded and sighed, "I've always thought he was a very interesting person. I hope it will be useful this time."

"Don't have too much hope." After Yu Zhongwu finished speaking, she gave him a worried look, and said after a while, "It's better to let nature take its course."

"En." Yuan Mu nodded, and the two sat back in the car together.

Three days later, Xie Zhi called Zhou Liang back and asked him to take someone to his home.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that there was a clue, Zhou Liang immediately notified Yuan Mu, and after picking up Yang Yang from the dim sum shop, they went straight to Xie Zhi's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a translucent creature that looked like an elephant floating in the air in the living room, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

Almost subconsciously, he turned his head to look at Yuan Mu, as if to say, what is this thing?
"This is a nightmare. It feeds on human nightmares. It has lived in the human world since ancient times." Seeing Yang Yang's surprised expression, Xie Zhi couldn't help laughing.

He paused for a while, stretched out his hand to caress the monster in midair, and then continued: "But recently there is a place where they can't get in, and they can't eat the dreams inside."

"Is that the place we asked you to check?" After Yu Zhongwu heard it, she immediately thought of the connection between the two things.

"En." The other party nodded, confirming Wu Zhongwu's guess.

"How long has it been?" Yuan Mu turned his head to look at the nightmare, "Since when have you been unable to enter? Is there any other place you cannot enter?"

After hearing what he said, the nightmare slowly put its nose on his hand, like an old friend it hadn't seen for a long time, and rubbed it affectionately.

Yuan Mu smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the nose of the nightmare, as if he was communicating.

After a while, the nightmare retracted its nose and floated back to Xie Zhi's side.

"That's right." Yuan Mu pondered, looked at the crowd and said, "The nightmare said, this is a recent incident, and the approximate date is a few days before Dai Xia came to see us, and the time coincides."

"And the location is right, it's near Dai Xia's house and Chang'an Street where we went that day. It's also a haunted place."

"The nightmares told me before that they guessed that someone set up an enchantment there, but they didn't have any clues about what it was, what its function and purpose were." Xie Zhi said.

"Leave it to us, this matter is troublesome to you." After hearing what he said, Yuan Mu slightly bowed and said, "As long as you know it's an enchantment, other things will be much easier to handle."

Xie Zhi nodded his head when he heard the words, as his thanks.

Yang Yang looked at the interaction between the two in surprise. As the real body of Bai Ze, Yuan Mu can be regarded as a great monster among monsters. His status is not high, but it must not be lowered. Now he actually owes him a thank you ?

One must know that Hong Yuan has helped them so many times, Yuan Mu has never done this before.

"It seems that you are the object of suspicion?" Xie Zhi didn't notice Yang Yang's surprise, so he asked.

"Well, I suspect it might be the Four Seas Demon Sect." Yuan Mu nodded without hiding anything, "When we were tracking Heyao before, they specially made a magic weapon and created an enchantment to deal with us, so this time I always feel like I can’t get away from them.”

"They're not dead yet?" Hearing about the Four Seas Demon Sect, Xie Zhi's reaction was exactly the same as Gu Menghan's. He sneered, "It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise I couldn't have no sense at all."

"I hope you haven't sensed it." Yuan Mu said with a wry smile, looking at the night outside the window.

"Since this matter is against the way of heaven, even if it doesn't cause a big mistake, I can't ignore it... When the time comes, remember to call me."

"Okay." Yuan Mu nodded, as if he agreed.
