I'm a boss in Soul Purgatory

Chapter 215 Nightmare
After the roast suckling pig was ready, everyone immediately moved to the battlefield.

Skewers are just a temporary filling. Strictly speaking, they are looking for something to do, and the big show is roast suckling pig.

Ouyang Xiao hasn't eaten yet.

Hearing Jiao Tong's joyful eyes, he couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple.

In fact, Jiao Tong did not exaggerate.

After a few mouthfuls of suckling pork, Ouyang Xiao felt that it was really delicious.Among the barbecues he has eaten, he thinks that the roast suckling pig can be ranked second in terms of deliciousness.

the first?

Of course it's a roasted black bear.

Although the Hong family's methods are good, they are still not as professional as the people of the Dai tribe.In terms of ingredients, the suckling pig is far inferior to Xiong Xiazi.

Before I knew it, the night was getting dark.

In Hong Shengmin's spacious and brightly lit compound, a deep layer of fog was enveloped at some point.

Ouyang Xiao's heart suddenly trembled.

Jiao Tong and the old patriarch obviously ate roast suckling pig and drank with him beside him, but he felt that he was the only one left in the rippling fog.

It feels weird.

In addition, he also faintly felt that there were countless pairs of similar eyes peeping at him in the mist.There was no sound, but it felt like it was about to devour him.

An inexplicable fear came to my heart.

It has nothing to do with the strength of martial arts, fear is one of the seven emotions and six desires, and it is an instinct that cannot be suppressed.Anyone in a certain time and a certain place will feel fear.

Ouyang Xiao is no exception.

…………

The difference is that ordinary people run away out of fear.

And the warrior's approach is not to escape, but to shatter the fear in his heart.

Ouyang Xiao reached out with his right hand, and the straight knife was already in his hand.

With another sudden swing, the fierce knife was already cut out at high speed.

The howling wind of the knife tore through the fog in front of me, and the bright moonlight poured in through the window...

Ouyang Xiao suddenly sat up.

It turned out to be a dream?

The straight knife in his right hand was clenched even tighter, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more fierce.

With his powerful soul power and the help of Tianmending glue, how could he fall into a nightmare?His self-control and adjustment ability are very strong, let alone having nightmares, it is impossible to even have ordinary dreams.

After all, when dreaming, the brain cannot rest well.

So he either sleeps lightly or sleeps deeply.

How to choose specifically depends on the safety of the rest environment.

The more secure, the deeper the degree of sleep.

But tonight, while he was only in a light sleep, he actually had a nightmare.

This is very abnormal!
Although he drank a lot of wine with Jiao Tong before going to sleep, he had already solved it with his kung fu.Even if he didn't do that, that little drink wouldn't send him into a nightmare.

…………

There should be something missing?

Ouyang Xiao frowned and thought.

Was that scene in the nightmare a reminder of something?Have you forgotten something important?
what is it then?

Lost the memory of Brother Hong Guangquan?

Mentally disabled?
The old patriarch doesn't want them to stay here?
fog?

Countless pairs of similar eyes?

The whole town is dark and dead, dead silent?
Ouyang Xiao finally remembered what he had forgotten - the place of death.

Police officer Shen Gang said that when Hong Guangyou screamed, there was no light or sound in Hongjia Town, and it felt like a place of death.

And this feeling, he had already had it when he entered Hongjia Town.

Even in the daytime, I can't help feeling this way.

Strictly speaking, this is not a dead place.

During the day, the people of the Hong family were not silent.

At night, Hongjia Town is not without a little light.

It's just that Ouyang Xiao felt that the whole Hongjia Town was lifeless.

Chickens are screaming, children are laughing, vendors are hawking...

None of these town-like sounds are found here.

People seem to be living mechanically without any thoughts of their own.Even Dao Xingshu lived listlessly.

…………

Shen Gang's perception was correct.

If it is late at night without lights, it really looks like a place of death.

After going through a series of things in Hongjia Town, he, like Jiao Tong, also thought that the evil thing had been executed and Hongjia Town had returned to peace.

But the nightmare just now reminded him that this matter is not over yet.

The most important reminder is the countless pairs of similar eyes in the nightmare.

Hong Shengmin, the middle-aged couple, the short man, the mentally handicapped, and the family of the old patriarch... those eyes kept replaying in Ouyang Xiao's mind.

After a while, he suddenly found out.

The eyes of these people are exactly the same!
It's like a mold machine produced it.

If you don't look at the face but only look at the eyes, you can't tell who is who.

There are problems in the whole Hongjia Town?

…………

Ouyang Xiao's thoughts are flying -

Thinking about it carefully, there are some doubts about finding and killing that monster.

It must have been too smooth!

It seemed that the monster was a victim deliberately thrown by the other party.

If it is true that it is concealed intentionally, the genealogy cannot be faked?

Can't the middle-aged couple measure the height of the child's wooden pillar and burn it beforehand?Can't that box of cosmetics be destroyed in advance?

Also, that pretty woman doesn't know makeup?

If you make yourself ugly, you won't be able to attract my attention?

All of this is like a trap, deliberately baiting me step by step, so that I can complete the task as soon as possible.

Then, leave Hongjia Town as soon as possible.

After learning about the strange cause of Hong Guangquan's death, I actually conceived several strategies to solve the case.

Some methods are more complicated.

In the end, all the strategies were useless. Just looking at the family tree, there was a clue.And once they followed the clues, they found the murderer.

It went so smoothly.

Now that I think about it, is the murderer too weak?
Apart from the disgusting dark green gel and the ugly tall body, it didn't show any tyrannical and strange skills.

Even Jiao Tong, who is of average strength, can't deal with it.

It's not as good as the ghost corpse locust in Nanhu.

How could such a weak monster control Hongjia Town with a population of tens of thousands?To control the minds of so many people, and to forcibly change their memories... How much strength is needed to do this?

If the monster's spirit power is powerful, why didn't I perceive it?
Even if it fooled me, can it still fool Beiming Divine Art?
Moreover, why didn't it fight to the death before it died?
…………

Ouyang Xiao knows that there is a problem in Hongjia Town, but where is the problem?
he does not know.

However, he believed that the patriarch Hong Shengmin, the middle-aged couple, the short man, and the mentally handicapped man could all be breakthrough points.

That being the case, then find out!
Do it when you think of it.

Ouyang Xiao held the knife in his right hand and pushed open the bedroom door with his left.

Just as he was about to leave, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

He doesn't feel right!
It was too cold, too quiet.

It was a hot summer, and the night wind was also hot. How could it be so gloomy and cold?It seems that the whole Hongjia Town is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere?

Moreover, except for the dark wind, there was a dead silence all around.

Not even the sound of worms moaning.

There is no other light but moonlight.

Just as Police Officer Shen said, Hongjia Town was completely silent late at night.

And this happened only in the last few days.
