If Zhao Sida had been at the scene, she would naturally have recognized the shadow creature that swarmed up and engulfed Lin Jiaojiao's figure as a nightmare entity.
As the most incompetent extraordinary creature in the extraordinary world, although there is currently no conclusion on whether the nightmare entity is a living thing in the extraordinary realm...but this characteristic of being the most incompetent is definitely beyond doubt.
none of them.
Even if you take as an opponent a newborn cub of extraordinary creatures that is not yet proficient in controlling extraordinary energy, they will be beaten violently by the opponent's instinct, let alone facing an extraordinary creature with normal development - basically they will be hung up by the opponent and changed. beat.
Precisely because nightmare entities are too weak in the extraordinary world, at most they can only rely on their extraordinary characteristics to bully ordinary people who cannot use extraordinary powers.
They will selectively attack ordinary people who are trapped in nightmares but do not have extraordinary powers, or some spiritual corpses that are obviously extraordinary entities but do not use any extraordinary powers, transforming the nightmares, fears, and even spirits and magic of these soft persimmons Food for growth.
This is how the lowest creature in the food chain of the extraordinary world survives.
Just like now, the nightmare entity swarmed up and smashed Lin Jiaojiao's limbs, and then the sharp and slender needle-like but extremely soft mouthpart pierced into her body under the latter's horrified eyes, making a gurgling sound. The sound uses a speed that can drive a normal person crazy, slowly extracting the nutrients and extraordinary energy that make up the spiritual body bit by bit. It's like enjoying a rare meal.
But from Lin Jiaojiao's perspective, everything she was experiencing now was no different from a nightmare.
There is a very big difference in the composition between the spirit skeleton and the body of a normal creature. Since this simulated body made of magic or extraordinary energy is basically just a temporary container used to carry the user's soul and memory, even if the body has Lin Jiaojiao, who was broken into pieces by the nightmare entity with only one head left, could also clearly feel the pain... and the horror of witnessing her being cut into pieces.
The pairs of lights flickering in the shadows were the eyes of these nightmare entities. They stared quietly at Lin Jiaojiao's eyes, like hounds, memorizing her appearance and features, and then looked at her frightened gaze. He pierced the sharp mouthpiece into the girl's head!
Accompanied by screams of horror and despair, Lin Jiaojiao, who was wandering in the world, suddenly woke up.
The image of her body being torn apart by the nightmare entity and eating her flesh and blood was still vivid in her mind, and the place where the sharp mouthpart penetrated her body was also in a faint phantom pain. Lin Jiaojiao gasped for air, trying to calm herself down due to fear in this way. Her hands and feet couldn't stop shaking. It was obviously still hot summer, but she felt a bone-chilling chill rising from her back and taking away the surrounding temperature.
Fear spread quietly and silently, and the nightmare entity left such a strong psychological shadow in Lin Jiaojiao's heart that she could clearly think of those weird dog-like creatures with sharp mouthparts as soon as she closed her eyes.
When Lin Jiaojiao completely calmed down, she realized that her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
"Is that a dream just now?" If Lin Jiaojiao was an extraordinary person, she might be able to use various extraordinary means to confirm whether what just happened was a dream, but as an ordinary person, someone who has had a few experiences with the extraordinary world However, Lin Jiaojiao, who had never systematically learned extraordinary knowledge, had a hard time distinguishing the difference between dreaming and wandering around like before. If something hadn't happened during her last fugue, she might not have realized that she was in a fugue until now.
With lingering fear, Lin Jiaojiao touched her chest and abdomen that had been pierced by the nightmare entity before. The phantom pain there that had not faded away was constantly stimulating her nerves. At the same time, there were still a lot of doubts lingering in her mind: "What are those monsters? Is their appearance accidental? Why haven't I seen that kind of thing appear twice before? Will taking [Truth] still have such sequelae..."
After taking out a set of light and breathable sportswear from the closet and putting it on, Lin Jiaojiao put the sweaty dress into the washing machine in the bathroom. When she turned around and left, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the shadow in the corner of the wall.
The shadow in the corner of the bathroom seemed to be alive and writhing, and a burst of black smoke or elongated smoke composed of black particles floated out from the wriggling shadow in the corner...
………………
When Wu Ming took Lin Jiaojiao and teleported along the marked points on Lin Jiaojiao's body, teleporting to Lin Jiaojiao's home in the manner of an illegal invasion, they were greeted by a group of squirming shadows.
Nightmare entities that are irresistible to ordinary people are basically younger brothers who cannot make trouble in front of Wu Ming and Zhao Sida. Not only because they are weak themselves, but also because Wu Ming and the others have beaten mimic creatures, After transforming high-level monsters such as plants, gods, and trees of life, and then returning to fight slime monsters in the otherworldly world, it feels as friendly and simple as returning to the novice village.
"Is this the third time? As an ordinary person, your experience is enough for you to brag about for a whole year..." According to the marked position, Lin Jiaojiao was now hiding in her room, and Wu Ming casually made a move After throwing the last nightmare entity that wanted to escape into the holding space, he slowly opened the door of the room and said, "You can actually attract so many nightmare entities to come to your house for a party. What's going on in your house..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Ming, who pushed open the door, saw a small tent huddled on the bed made of thin blankets, and placed at the top opening of the small tent... a man with a squinting smile. Funny face pillow.
When he saw this funny face covered with sheets, Wu Ming admitted that his head did shut down for a few seconds. Before opening the door, he had imagined various scenes and pictures, ranging from a bunch of nightmares to The entity besieged Lin Jiaojiao to the inexplicable CG recovery of the dressing welfare, but he really didn't expect that he would look at the pillow with a funny face for two or three seconds like a tortoise looking at mung beans, and then he couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. Come.
Then Zhao Sida behind him jumped up and struck him mercilessly on the head.
"It was detected that the mental pollution level was rising rapidly, and the mental consciousness was separated from the body, so we intervened immediately." Zhao Sida knocked Wu Ming away, who was too big for her to get in the way, and rushed to the bed to take a picture of the funny face on the pillow. On one side, Lin Jiaojiao, who was hiding behind a helpless expression, gently pressed her fingers on her forehead, emitting a soft and peaceful light, "We are introducing extraordinary spells to clean up the nightmare entities." mental pollution and its residual effects.”
Lin Jiaojiao's lifeless face and eyes shocked Wu Ming: "Old Zhao...when did Lin Jiaojiao become melanistic, with her eyes de-highlighted?" What a cute character..."
Due to his personality and experience, Wu Ming is somewhat confident in his ability to observe words and emotions. According to his experience, as long as a person is awake and conscious, he will convey his emotions and thoughts to the outside world through his face and body all the time. Facial muscles are The expressions produced during exercise, the direction and contraction of the eyeballs, uncontrolled habitual small movements, etc., are all behaviors that will reveal your inner thoughts to others to a certain extent.
But all he saw on Lin Jiaojiao's face was 'nothing'. Her eyeballs were staring at some ethereal point without focus. Even when she saw Wu Ming and Zhao Sida, her pupils did not react, and her facial muscles did not even react. With the slightest change, this girl was like a living corpse, not sending any message to Wu Ming.
"Manager, you are in some way, please go aside and wait quietly." Zhao Sida used her free hand to push Wu Ming, who was approaching, with disgust, drove him aside, and then concentrated on using extraordinary magic to treat Lin. Jiaojiao’s state of mental pollution.
After a while, Lin Jiaojiao, who had calmed down, gradually regained her energy, and the hollow expression on her face disappeared. With her eyes regaining their luster, she patted her chest with lingering fear and said, "Ah... I just thought I was really going to die again." Already..."
"It's okay. We have cleaned up all the nightmare entities outside..." Wu Ming slowly patted Lin Jiaojiao's shoulder and asked in a gentle and gentle tone: "I originally wanted to ask you why you were attacked again. I was involved in an extraordinary incident, but forget it, the blame must be mine in the end anyway, so it’s useless to ask... So what exactly happened?”
Wu Ming finally discovered that every time he met Lin Jiaojiao, it was because the latter was involved in extraordinary events. This could only be blamed on him - who made Wu Ming mess up the aftermath last time? It was a mess, so I simply skipped this step and asked about the whole story.
Lin Jiaojiao lowered her head in embarrassment and organized her words and thoughts in her mind, then raised her head to look at Wu Ming and said: "Brother Wu Ming... I don't know if the strange things that happened to me these days are related... so Let me tell you from the beginning, when [Truth] became popular in our class privately..."
"To start with the time when I knew [Truth], it should have been three to four months ago. Although I can't remember exactly when it happened, it must have happened last semester... "
