forced to be pampered by monsters

In the narrow crevice of the stone wall, Weimian closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale and bloodless.

He slept very restlessly, with deep marks furrowed between his brows, and the mist wrapped around him slowly comforting him.

Everything around was vibrating, the plants kept withering and growing again, and the green leaf buds quickly turned yellow and curled in a few moments, turning into dust in the soil.

The spiders and dead branch insects hid in the distance, huddled together and shivering, not daring to approach the stone wall where Wei Mian was, for fear of being affected, and unwilling to leave.

When the surroundings were completely calm, the deadwood let go of the spider's front legs and jumped on top of its head.

They only knew that the abnormal state just now came from Wemian, but they didn't know what happened.

Although there should be nothing wrong with the black mist around Weimian, it is still worried and slowly approached with the dead branch insect.

Coming to the front of the stone wall, under the dim sight, Weimian lay down on the haystack to sleep peacefully, breathing smoothly and evenly.

The black mist condensed a vague human form, hugging him from behind.

Only then did the spider heave a sigh of relief, and took the dead branch worm back to the cocoon to rest.

Before dawn, the black mist awakened the spider, let it take care of Sleepless, and then left.

He was going to look for food, not only for Unsleep, but also for his own needs.

Moving forward in the direction of the rising sun, the roars and fighting sounds of believers gradually became clearer.

Wisps of mist appeared among the sparse woods, watching several familiar figures not far away.

Wen Yue protected Wenya behind him, manipulating the surrounding stone walls to resist the attacks of believers. The triplets were in a state of complete animalization, their arms were covered with scales, and their sharp claws were stained with blood. The combination of inhuman features and human body seemed very weird.

There are three believers in total. Although they are small in size, they are superior in their quick and flexible movements, and they can shuttle among several people.

Wen Yue was afraid of accidentally hurting his companions, so he couldn't use his abilities to the extreme.

At this time, the fourth believer came around quietly from the other side, ready to attack the few people.

"Be careful!" Wen Yue reminded aloud, but he was distracted, a small believer realized that the weakest among them was Wen Ya, and rushed towards him.

With a fierce wave of its slender and sharp claws, it easily cut off the stone wall in front of the two of them.

Wen Yue protected Wen Ya and retreated, but he couldn't dodge in time, and a wound was cut on his right shoulder.

At the critical moment, Wenya behind her raised her left hand, and a short arrow flew out from the cuff below her wrist.

The short arrow pierced the believer's heart and exploded with a "bang". The believer lost his breath and his body fell limply.

At this time, the triplets also took care of the other believers, only slightly injured.

The black mist stayed in place quietly all the time, and disappeared after a few breaths.

Wen Ya took out the bandage and wound medicine from the backpack, and asked Wen Yue to take off his coat: "The corpse smells bad, we have to get out of here quickly."

Wen Yue responded, and looked at the place where the black mist appeared just now, as if aware of it.

There was nothing there, nothing abnormal, he frowned and looked away.

He applied the medicine on the wound himself, and said, "It's not a way to go on like this. You have to catch a green-toothed beast."

Green-toothed beasts like to eat rock walls, and they are the most docile monsters in the ruins area. They use food to lure them, and they can be used as temporary mounts to drive away.

Wen Ya wrapped the bandage for him, pulled out the short arrow from the dead believer and destroyed it: "Okay."

When Sleepless woke up, it was almost noon.

He lifted his heavy eyelids and felt as if he had been run over, but he didn't feel uncomfortable when he sat up.

The black cat came in from the outside, jumped into his arms, raised its head and rubbed against him.

Weimian touched it habitually, the memory in the dream gradually became clear, and the movement of the hand froze.

In his dream last night, his body was inexplicably in pain, and it was the person in the dream who had been treating him.

Before that, the man asked him if the food in the evening was not good.

And he also admitted that he did the barbecue...

I don't know why, this time the dream of Sleepless remembers it very clearly, especially the pain that surged up in his body, maybe because of this, he also remembers other content.

Every sentence of their dialogue, the tone of their answers, but the face of the person in the dream is still blurred.

It's not that Weimian has never thought about this possibility, but every time he wakes up, he doesn't quite remember the scene in his dream. Trying to recall more details carefully, the more he thinks about it, the more blurred it becomes.

Similarly, when he enters a dream, everything in reality will become a distant memory.

Weimian only remembers that he is very close to the person in the dream, he will heal his wounds, and he will not dislike his horns to coax him to sleep.

He spent a long time in this dazed state. Although Heiwu admitted last time that the bruises on his ribs were healed by it, Weimian still felt that the person who appeared in his dream said, Maybe he imagined it.

In fact, the black mist is so good to him, except for the initial misunderstanding, Weimian is no longer afraid of it, even if the other party enters his dream again without warning, he doesn't need to worry about the black mist hurting himself.

However, the person in the dream was too close to him.

In the first 19 years of Sleepless, there was no one who could speak a few words, let alone any experience in intimate relationships.

He instinctively approached and relied on him in the dream, how close he was to the other party, and how flustered he felt after waking up from the dream.

The spider poked its head at this time, holding the freshly peeled nuts on its soft limbs.

The sleepless thoughts were interrupted, and he hurriedly drilled out of the space inside the stone wall like a guilty conscience.

The nuts are brought back by the black mist. They taste sweet and crispy. You can’t eat too much when you wake up from sleepless nights. A handful of nuts is just right.

While eating, he quietly looked at the black cat in his arms, just in time to meet his eyes with the raised vertical pupils.

These dark red eyes seem to have nothing to do with the person in the dream, but Wei Mian immediately remembered the scene in the dream when he was stroked by the horns of the sheep and fell asleep.

He shook his hands and slowly put down the nuts.

The black cat looked at him without blinking, as if asking why he didn't eat.

Weimian struggled for a while, and finally asked: "The person who keeps appearing in my dreams... is it you?"

The black cat was unmoved, and the spider and the twig worm didn't know where to go. Wei Mian said again: "If yes, you just... nod, or blink?"

He held his breath and waited nervously. After a while, he saw the black cat really blinked its eyes slowly.

Even though Weimian had made enough mental preparations, he still didn't know what to do, so he opened his mouth but didn't make a sound.

He did expect that the person in his dream would truly be by his side, but...he never thought it would be a black mist.

Or, never thought it would be a monster.

And he still couldn't remember the face of the other party in the dream, or was he blurred with the figure once condensed by the black mist, because he automatically imagined that there was such a face.

He was very confused, and the black cat suddenly turned back to fog at this moment.

Weimian was absent-minded, frightened and almost fell backwards, the nuts in his hand scattered on the ground.

The mist instantly condensed into a human form, grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms.

This is the position they often have in their dreams, and Weimian always leans in front of him, letting him touch his horns.

Weimian also remembered, but it was this familiar movement that made him even more flustered.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, not looking at the mist drifting in front of his eyes, and clenched his cuffs in a daze.

Heiwu noticed the tension of Sleepless, and his reaction was far different from that in the dream, as if he was going to push him away to escape the next moment.

Black Mist is only because he doesn't have a real body yet, and this appearance repulses Weimian.

So he changed back into animal form again, and the black cat with its thick tail squatted on Sleepless's lap again.

Faced with the familiar and more harmless black cat, the tense emotions of Wanmian eased a lot.

He picked up the nuts on the ground and remembered to thank Hei Wu: "Last night...thank you."

The pain in the dream was extremely real, as well as the bruises on his body, Weimian was not sure if it was related to his unstable ability.

The black cat came over and licked his side face, responding to his words.

Unable to escape, Weimian somehow remembered the scene in the dream.

At most, the person in the dream just kissed his face, never like this, but...

The roots of WeiMian's ears turned red quietly, he pushed the black cat away, and ate a nut.

When the black mist turned into a cat, it was also covered with a layer of mist, and it took one night to become what it is now.

Could that figure... also go through this process.

If yes, what will he become?Once this thought arises, I can't control it, and the faces that appear in Weimian's mind are blurred, and they can't take shape no matter what.

And he gradually realized that the person in the dream might really come into reality.

Thinking of this, a subtle feeling welled up in Weimian's heart.

He was looking forward to it, but he was afraid that this expectation would fail.

Although Black Mist can turn into a cat, it is a monster after all, and he is even more embarrassed to ask directly if it can have a real human form, which always feels awkward.

Weimian unscrewed the kettle and took a sip of water, took a few deep breaths and stopped thinking, got up and prepared to go.

He got up too late today, almost all morning, the days after noon were shorter, and the sun would set in a few hours.

Wanmian quickened his pace and arrived at the area with the most dense ruins in the ruins area before dark.

Ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere, gravels of different sizes lie in the middle of the road, and the surface is covered with green plants growing from the gaps.

The spider opened the way ahead, followed closely by Unmian, stopping from time to time to look around.

It was getting dark, and they had to find a place to rest quickly.

—

At the same time, Wen Yue and Wen Ya in the distance finally caught a green-toothed beast.

In order to set up traps and wait for an opportunity, they expended a lot of energy and delayed some time. They planned to travel at night and rest in the middle of the night.

Wen Yue piled a few stone walls into a hill, and inside was a beast with green fangs, eating hard.

This is a monster, it doesn't care about the few people outside, only the food in front of it can interest it, Wen Yue slowly moved away a stone wall, ready to try to approach it.

The green-toothed beast they found was very large. There were five of them, and they could all sit if they were squeezed together.

At this time, the green-toothed beast suddenly raised its head and looked into the distance, its huge body trembling.

It threw away the half-eaten stone and curled up into a ball, whining softly.

"What's going on?" Wen Yue frowned, wanting to step up and see if the green-toothed beast ate something it shouldn't.

Wen Ya grabbed his arm and stopped him, with a solemn expression: "Wait... there seems to be something."

In the direction the green-toothed beast looked at just now, something that frightened it was approaching.
