That night, Song Jiang, Meng Zhe and their group took the little man who got out of the stuffed bear from the mall and brought him to the library to settle down... Normally, Meng Zhe would never be afraid of dealing with fierce monsters. And the more fierce he is, the more he likes it. Anyway, in the end, he will be beaten and imprisoned in an ancient book.
But this time, this guy turned out to be a coward. He always looked honest and submissive to others, which made Meng Zhe embarrassed and imprisoned him directly in the ancient books.
Let alone Meng Zhe, even Song Jiang couldn't compare the honest man in front of him with the ferocious tapir Meng Zhe said. If he hadn't met on such an occasion, in Song Jiang's eyes, he would have been just an ordinary middle-aged man, working an ordinary nine-to-five job, and having an ordinary family of three. Tired of car loans and raising children...
Seeing that the man was a little nervous, Song Jiang smiled and comforted him and said, "You don't have to be afraid. My name is Song Jiang. This is my boss, Meng Zhe. The uncle next to him is the leader of the library. You can just call him Lao Xu. That young man's name is Gu Hao, the kid next to him is called Ah Fu."
After listening to Song Jiang's words, the man looked at everyone cautiously, and then said cautiously, "Hello, my name is Ji Mo. Nice to meet you all..."
After hearing this, Meng Zhe asked casually, "How old are you?"
When Ji Mo heard this, he counted on his fingers and said, "765 years old."
Ah Fu on the side said in surprise, "You are more than two hundred years older than me! No wonder you are so anxious..."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Meng Zhe raised his hand and knocked Ah Fu on the head and said, "Is it necessary to be older than you if I am older than you? Which one is older than you, Song Jiang or Gu Hao? Isn't he older than you?"
Ah Fu rubbed his sore head and pursed his lips and said, "I just said casually... Why are you hitting people?"
When Song Jiang saw it, he took out five yuan from his pocket and said, "Afu, don't be angry. Go buy some ice cream yourself!"
Little Afu then burst into laughter and ran out jumping up and down...
Ji Mo looked at the people in front of him curiously, and then looked slightly surprised. It was obvious that he had seen that except for Song Jiang, none of the people in this room were ordinary mortals.
"Ji Mo, why are you hiding in the mall?" Meng Zhe asked in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Ji Mo bit his lip and told everyone about his experience... In fact, many years ago, Ji Mo still had many family members. They had been living in the sparsely populated barren mountains, and occasionally would go down the mountain to live with humans. In the small town, I can eat my dreams and live a comfortable life.
But as humans hunted tapirs on a large scale, Jimo's family members began to disappear one after another, and in the end he was left alone in the mountains. At that time, he always remembered his mother's warning to him before she disappeared, that is, he must stay away from human beings to save his life!
But as time went by, Ji Mo began to feel more and more lonely. He longed to prey on human nightmares so that people who were disturbed by dreams could sleep peacefully... So Ji Mo went down the mountain to the city and lived in seclusion carefully. among humans.
In the years that followed, Jimo traveled around many cities, but he always felt like a passerby. No place could give him a real sense of belonging, until he came to the building where this shopping mall is located. On this land...
There was no shopping mall here at the beginning, but a welfare home opened by a charity. Many abandoned children were disturbed by nightmares because they missed their relatives. When Jimo saw them, he entered their dreams and swallowed the nightmares, so that the children could Sweet dreams.
Looking at the smiling faces of those children, Ji Mo felt a sense of belonging for the first time. He secretly made up his mind to stay in the orphanage, so he transformed into a human form and applied for a job in the orphanage, and he worked there for thirty years...
But just two years ago, the land of the orphanage was suddenly acquired. After the relevant agencies settled the last batch of children, they informed several staff members, including Ji Mo, that the orphanage had been dissolved and asked them to receive severance pay. Go out there and fend for yourself.
The others took the money and left happily, but only Ji Mo was unwilling to leave this land, because he had lived here for more than thirty years, and he was familiar with every plant and tree here. The thought of leaving here When entering a strange environment, Ji Mo felt inexplicably anxious...
This Ji Mo is also a bastard. If he really likes children so much, he can find another orphanage to work, but he has to stay in this land.
At first, when the mall was just under construction, he did odd jobs on the construction site; later, when the mall opened, he hid in this stuffed bear in the children's world, waiting for opportunities to prey on the nightmares of passing customers.
Song Jiang was a little puzzled when he heard this and said, "Why don't you find a hotel or something nearby, which is a place where people sleep and rest. Wouldn't it be more likely that you would hunt nightmares?" "
Unexpectedly, Ji Mo said with some embarrassment, "I like children. Looking at these lively and lovely children makes me feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction... And there is nothing better than the children in the children's world on the sixth floor of the shopping mall." There are so many places, but please rest assured, I have never forced children to fall asleep when they come here to play. I only force myself into dreams when I sense that someone is haunted by nightmares and prey on the nightmares deep in their hearts."
Song Jiang thought of Chu Ying at this time, and continued to ask Jimo, "What's going on with Chu Ying?"
After hearing this, Ji Mo thought for a while and said, "Mengying is the real boss of the mall. I know he is not a human being, but the nightmares in his heart are very delicious, so every time he comes, I can't help but want to devour the nightmares in his heart... …”
"Delicious? Can a nightmare be described as delicious?!" Song Jiang said with a different expression.
But Ji Mo told Song Jiang that the more terrifying the nightmare, the more delicious it would be for their tapirs. However, because his cultivation was still shallow, he could not see the specific content of the nightmare in Chu Ying's heart...
After settling down Ji Mo, Song Jiang and the three of them left the library. On the way, Gu Hao said to Meng Zhe worriedly, "The purpose of Chu Ying buying that piece of land to build a shopping mall was probably to get Ji Mo... I don’t think he’s going to let it go.”
After hearing this, Meng Zhe said expressionlessly, "So what if I don't want to give up? It's just a living corpse that has been around for hundreds of years. It's just that he won't show up again. Otherwise, I don't mind letting him feel what it is in advance." The calamity is huge."
