"Hey, Zhao Ping, how are you? Can you still hold on? I'll carry you back right now. As long as you get to the hotel, Tang Meng can stabilize the injury."

Since this outing was an impromptu initiative of the man with glasses, none of the three of them had a backpack in their haste, not even a backpack, let alone a bandage. Seeing that Zhao Ping was seriously injured, Peng Hu was a little panicked and was about to carry it. He was waiting for the other party to run back to the hotel. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping waved his hand to refuse. He waved his hand first to express that it was okay. Then he looked around the scene intently and looked around. Only then did he realize that he was still leaning against the nut tree where he was originally, and the scene was still the same. Seeing this in the streets of the small town where the breeze never stopped, Zhao Ping instantly understood that he had never been awake from the beginning to the end, or that he had fallen asleep and inexplicably fallen into a trance since the moment he sat on the ground with his back against a big tree to rest. In the dream, the time when he was woken up by Peng Hu was also just a part of the dream. It was not until this moment that he really woke up. As for how long he slept for? I looked down at my watch and saw that the current time was 20:40 at night.

I fell asleep for about 10 minutes, which was not a long time. However, who would have thought that in these seemingly short 10 minutes, I would have experienced an hour of narrowly surviving, and was killed by Freddy in the dream world. The hunt lasted for an entire hour!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ping nodded silently, but Peng Hu, who was rejected by Zhao Ping, changed the subject without stopping: "By the way, what happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly fall asleep? Just in the blink of an eye, you turned around and saw You kid closed your eyes and couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed. Later, blood came out of your chest for no reason! Could it be that you were really..."

Ignoring Peng Hu's nervous questioning, while the bald man was chattering nervously, Zhao Ping held on to his injured body, gritted his teeth and stood up, then anxiously asked Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao: "Huh, sue, tell me, tell me the period what happened!?"

Soon, under Peng Hu's narration as short as possible, Zhao Ping learned the entire story, and the story was indeed as simple as what Peng Hu had just described. That is, Zhao Ping almost died, as early as October 10. Minutes ago, or when Zhao Ping subconsciously sat down with his back against a big tree to rest due to exhaustion, he himself had fallen asleep inexplicably without even being aware of it. This scene was quickly noticed by Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao found out that the man with glasses fell asleep inexplicably, and the two of them were shocked! Therefore, they hurriedly shook and called. Although they responded in time, the strange thing was that no matter how they shook and shouted, Zhao Ping had no response, so that he forced Peng Hu to slap him, but even if he slapped his face with it, The man with glasses is still asleep!

It would have been fine if he just fell asleep, but as time passed, just when Peng and Chen didn't know what to do, Zhao Ping began to bleed from his chest, and the clothes on his chest actually appeared without any external or internal damage. Scratches, and then red blood flowed out! Seeing this, no matter how stupid Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao were, they understood instantly. They knew that Zhao Ping had been attacked and was being attacked crazily by Freddy in the dream world. Anyone who was dragged into the dream by Freddy could only Wake up in time before being killed, otherwise there will always be only one end, and that is death!

Grass!

Sure enough, when they saw that the man with glasses was about to die in his sleep, the two of them were frightened to death! In his eagerness, he no longer cared about conserving energy. Chen Xiaoyao quickly took action and directly used a life-saving Taoist technique on Zhao Ping, which was...

……………

The Awakening Mantra is a relatively common spell in the Maoshan sect. It can help others or the caster to refresh themselves. The spelling process is very simple, that is, press the temples of the sleeping person with your fingers, and then use your fingers as a medium to instill spiritual power. , only a small amount of mental power can be infused into a comatose person to wake up in advance. Logically speaking, this is a Maoshan Taoist technique that consumes very little. But the strange thing is that in order to wake up Zhao Ping, who may die in his sleep at any time, Chen Xiaoyao used his glasses. The man used the most feasible awakening spell, but only after using it did he realize that the small amount of energy he instilled could not wake him up at all!

what does that mean?

Very simply, it means that there is nothing wrong with the technique itself, but conventional energy infusion has no effect. The reason is that Zhao Ping fell into a deep sleep, the depth of which has reached an unprecedented level.

After getting the results, Chen Xiaoyao had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to increase the intensity of the energy infusion, first twice, then three times, then four times, five times, six times...

Until the energy infusion reaches a full 50 times the conventional level! Chen Xiaoyao finally woke up Zhao Ping from a deep sleep, as if he had pulled the bespectacled man out of the dream world at all costs. However, there were gains and losses. Although Zhao Ping was successfully awakened by the awakening spell, Chen Xiaoyao Xiaoyao also consumes a lot of mental energy. There is no denying that the regular consumption of using the Awakening Curse is very small, even so small that it can be ignored. However, when this consumption is superimposed 50 times, the extent of the loss is not that of Chen Xiaoyao. It can be endured, and the actual energy consumption is basically no less than using the powerful Maoshan Ghost Killing Curse 10 times in a row, and it is a continuous one! It is conceivable that with such a huge consumption, it is no wonder that Chen Xiaoyao would be so out of breath and exhausted that he could not even speak completely.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaoyao has been in seclusion for a period of time recently, and his energy reserves have increased, which has prevented him from kicking his legs to stop eating. At present, Chen Xiaoyao is in a state of listless exhaustion, which is basically half-life. A useless person.

After hearing what happened from Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao, Zhao Pingping nodded expressionlessly, but he just nodded. He didn't even mean to thank Chen Xiaoyao during this period, which seemed to be a vivid portrayal of ingratitude. The reaction was enough to make anyone get angry and curse, but after all, Chen Xiaoyao knew Zhao Ping and knew that this person named Zhao had this kind of personality, so he didn't take it seriously. He just complained to the man with glasses with an expression that was uglier than crying. .

"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, Senior Zhao, did you have a premonition that you would be in this kind of calamity, so you specially brought Pindao here to help you overcome the calamity? If this is the case, then Pindao can only say that you are too cautious. Already, I have been so cautious that I have left no stone unturned, phew..."

Looking at the bespectacled man in front of him who was holding his chest and panting, Chen Xiaoyao, who was panting harder, grinned bitterly. Of course, this was not the key. Zhao Ping, who had used the young Taoist priest, did not pay attention to this man, and just covered his wound and stared intently. Observation, while continuing to keep an eye on the house, his mind was running rapidly.

The above are the information clues that Zhao Ping summarized during the silence. They are some kind of conclusive results, and the results are undoubtedly bad and extremely detrimental to the executors. If possible, Zhao Ping would like to find a loophole to break the situation. But the reality did not allow him to continue thinking, because just as he was analyzing and thinking, a car was slowly driving towards the house ahead.

"Hey, look! That guy is back!"

Under Peng Hu's relieved reminder, the long wait of the three finally got the desired result. As the car roared and turned off quietly, the hotel owner Max, who had not returned for a long time, finally returned home late at night. He had indeed met the hotel owner before. He shook his head and looked very fierce no matter how he looked. Peng Hu suddenly became energetic and was about to go over and kidnap him, but...

"Brother Peng, don't move yet, I'll do it."

Just when the bald man was about to kidnap the person as planned, for some unknown reason, Zhao Ping glanced down at the injury on his chest and quickly raised his hand to stop Peng Hu. At the same time, he said it was up to him. Seeing this, Peng Hu was shocked. I was a little puzzled by the glasses man's change of mind. Yes, wasn't it agreed before that he would be the one to kidnap people? Why did you suddenly change your mind when things came to a close? Also, with Zhao Ping's injured appearance, how could he violently kidnap someone? Are you planning to threaten with a gun? But, as long as Zhao Ping has a gun, there is no need for him to take action himself, right?

"Eh? You..." With strong doubts, Peng Hu was about to ask the reason, but unfortunately Zhao Ping didn't give him a chance. Before he could ask the question, Zhao Ping had already left the tree with his hands on his chest and walked towards the person who had just got off the car. Max stumbled away.

"who!?"

Sure enough, since it was late at night and the surroundings were completely silent, Zhao Ping's staggering footsteps were easily caught by Max who had just gotten out of the car. When he heard someone approaching him, Max was startled and turned around to ask nervously. Looking around, I realized that the person coming was an oriental face with a vague impression. Not only that, the other person seemed to be injured and was currently stumbling towards me.

"Eh? You, you seem to be..."

"Hello, Mr. Max, I am one of the group of Orientals who stayed at the hotel yesterday. My name is Zhao Ping." Seeing Max's hesitant expression as if he was impressed, Zhao Ping reminded decisively, let alone, Zhao Ping As soon as Ping reminded him, Max, the hotel owner, instantly remembered Zhao Ping, but soon he focused his eyes on Zhao Ping's bloody chest, and then asked nervously with a surprised look on his face: "Wait, Zhao Ping Sir, what's the matter with you coming to me in the middle of the night? And the injury on your chest... Forget it, don't talk about this now, get in the car quickly, I'll take you to the hospital right now!"

As an ordinary person, the instinctive reaction when encountering an injured person is to provide help as much as possible, and Max did not hesitate to help after discovering that Zhao Ping was seriously injured. He was about to greet the other person to get in the car, but unexpectedly Zhao Ping He actually shook his head and said no, and then said something to Max, a shocking explanation that was enough to make the man change his color:

"Mr. Max, as expected, you should be the person in the whole town who most believes that Freddy has returned. In this case, I will tell you something straight. My injuries did not come from the encounter with gangsters as you imagined. , but from Freddy, who was injured by Freddy in the dream. If you want to know the truth, then follow me to the hotel, and I will tell you all the truth then."

Yes, this is Zhao Ping's strategy, a more reliable strategy than the original violent kidnapping. The reason for his temporary change of plan was precisely the scar on his chest. With the scar as ironclad evidence, some words will naturally be credible!

So, Max believed it. After Zhao Ping showed his bloody wound, he instinctively believed what Zhao Ping said. Since he chose to believe it, the rest was easy.

5 minutes later, in room 205 on the second floor of the town hotel.

The night outside the window is still beautiful and picturesque under the dense stars, but the executives gathered in the living room are really not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Not only are they not in the mood to appreciate the night sky, on the contrary, they all frown and stare at Zhao Ping collectively. .

Relying on the many medicines carried in his backpack, Tang Meng is currently bandaging Zhao Ping's treatment, while the man with glasses is sitting on the sofa to endure the pain. He looks very perseverant. Not only does he have perseverance, but he also remembers what he had experienced earlier. He told everyone present truthfully. Of course, considering that there was another Max present, including Zhao Ping, everyone still strictly played the identity of Oriental tourists. The result was positive. After learning that Zhao Ping and the others had left the hotel privately and that Zhao Ping had almost After the horrifying experience of dying in his sleep, the crowd immediately went crazy and talked about it. Fortunately, Zhao Ping was extremely intimidating. In front of the man with glasses, no one dared to accuse him. On the contrary, it was Peng who went out together with him. Hu and Chen Xiaoyao became scapegoats. Just like now, Li Tianheng was surrounded by him asking questions even though he was exhausted trying to save people. Even Peng Hu, who had a bad temper and no one dared to offend him, was singled out by Cheng Ying. He was taken out of the house and questioned repeatedly, asking what the bald man was thinking at that time!

"Damn! Are you looking for trouble, Cheng Ying? What could I, Taima, think at that time? I can't stop this kid Zhao Ping from going out, and there's nothing I can do about it?" Faced with Cheng Ying's pressure to hold him to account, Peng Hu He was furious and retorted on the spot. Chen Xiaoyao, who had been questioned by Li Tianheng for a long time, also glared and threatened: "Li Tianheng, do you deserve a beating? Do you really think that Pindao can't beat you now?".

Sure enough, under Peng Hu's angry retort and Chen Xiaoyao's threat of beating, Cheng Ying, who was still giving Peng Hu face, let the bald man go, while Li Tianheng, who was afraid of being beaten, also shrank his neck and kept silent. Of course, this is not the point, the point is , through Zhao Ping's personal experience, everyone has now learned that Freddy's hypnosis has no warning, and this dream demon can actually pull people into dreams without humans noticing! And once he falls into a dream, no external force can wake him up. Fortunately, Zhao Ping is very scheming and cautious. At the time of the accident, Chen Xiaoyao, a very capable Taoist from Maoshan, happened to be around. He used a high-power awakening spell to forcefully wake up Zhao Ping, otherwise the glasses would not be able to wake him up. The man had now turned into a miserable corpse.

only……

"Since Freddy is completely invincible in the dream world, and those who fall into the dream cannot wake up on their own, doesn't this mean..."

After listening to Zhao Ping's truthful account, in the crowd, Chen Shuihong grasped the key point, so he shook his fat and asked in panic. The meaning of what he said was self-evident. It is conceivable that even Chen Shuihong could hear Ni Duandun. Feeling bad, the rest of the people didn’t need to say more. Sure enough, as soon as the fat man finished speaking, everyone turned pale almost at the same time, and they all felt sad after learning the news that anyone dragged into the dream by Freddy could not be woken up. Nervous, Peng Hu stroked his beard and frowned and said, "This is troublesome. Not only does Freddy have the ability to hypnotize, but people who fall into dreams can't wake up. Can they just wait to die?"

Peng Hu's desperate conclusion made Chen Shuihong, who was already frightened, tremble more. Fortunately, nothing is absolute. Just when everyone was frightened, Cheng Ying turned her eyes and took the lead in looking at a person who theoretically should not be in the room, or at the moment. Max was standing at the scene in a daze.

Obviously, since Zhao Ping had personally told Max that he had been attacked by Freddy, and Max was the person in the entire town who most believed in Freddy's resurrection and return, so it was natural that, under the temptation of the bespectacled man to tell the truth, Max... With a strong thirst for knowledge, Max followed the three people back to the hotel. When he arrived at the hotel, he discovered that this group of Easterners knew much more than expected! Not only do these people believe that Freddy has been resurrected like him, they even tell him that Freddy has the ability to kill people in his dreams. They are now targeting their group of Orientals! After learning about this, Max, who was convinced that Freddy had turned into a demon, was stunned on the spot. He was stunned and there were many doubts in his mind, such as...

How do these Orientals know so much? Do you even know Freddy better than you, a local who has lived in the town for decades?

Let’s get back to the topic, let’s not talk about how Max is currently in a daze and confused. When Cheng Ying looked at Max, as if he had been reminded, Peng Hu suddenly realized and hurriedly turned to Zhao Ping and urged: “Hey, this guy has been captured. We’ve got it, can you reveal your true intentions now?”

Indeed, as Peng Hu asked above, since the purpose of Zhao Ping's trip was to bring the hotel owner who seemed to know something, after seeing Max, the bald man naturally asked this question, Peng Hu In this way, the rest of the people who also saw Max suppressed their nervousness and looked at Zhao Ping, intending to hear what the glasses man had to say.

It’s also worth mentioning that as to why Zhao Ping went out to find Max himself, even if Zhao Ping didn’t tell him, everyone could basically guess. After all, Chen Shuihong overheard Max’s call in the afternoon. In some conversations, Max once said a certain 'thing', and from Max's tone at that time, it seemed that the 'thing' had a certain connection with Freddy. If the guess is correct, Zhao Ping put Max The purpose of getting the hotel was most likely to get information, but the result...

They guessed correctly. Next, under the gaze of Cheng Ying, Peng Hu, Chen Xiaoyao and everyone present, Zhao Ping adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He first took a deep look at Max, and then narrowed his eyes slightly. Let’s get straight to the point: “Mr. Max, you should have known that the recent deaths were all caused by Freddy, right?”

As if his thoughts were revealed in an instant, as soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, Max, who was originally in a daze, was shocked. Although the surprise was true, the strange thing was that it was clear that Zhao Ping guessed correctly, but Max did not nod. He neither nodded. He admitted without shaking his head to deny. Instead, he showed hesitation. The muscles in his whole face twitched, as if he was hesitating to speak. Seeing this, Zhao Ping seemed to see something. He did not choose to wait. Instead, he immediately increased his volume and spoke with An extremely stern voice asked: "Why didn't you tell us when you had a solution? Why didn't you help us? Do you want to watch us be killed by demons!?"

No one knew the specific meaning of Zhao Ping's forced and stern questioning, but after listening to the bespectacled man's direct conscience condemnation, Max finally reacted on the opposite side. The man first sighed, and then spoke with a complex expression. With an expression on his face, he said: "Actually, I don't want to see Freddy killing innocent people indiscriminately, but the problem is that I don't dare to help you... If Freddy learns about this, maybe even I will There will be disaster.”

The hesitant answer completely revealed Max's inner concerns. In fact, Zhao Ping guessed correctly. Max knew the truth. As a Christian, when he learned that there had been multiple murders in the town without a murderer, Max knew the truth. Max has already realized that Freddy, who was burned to death, has been resurrected. This perverted murderer has now turned into a demon and returned to the world. In addition, he learned from the police that the deceased was likely to die in his dream, so Mike Max was scared, so he subconsciously planned to protect himself. The means of self-protection was undoubtedly the thing that had protected the residents of the town back then. The purpose of driving to the small town hospital in the evening was precisely to get the thing. As for why Max was there Knowing the truth and refusing to speak out?

The reason is still simple, that is, he is afraid! He was worried that once he publicized Freddy's resurrection and that 'thing', Freddy, who had been ruined by his good deeds, would come to settle accounts with him. Because of this, with a certain selfishness, Max only planned to protect himself until he was Zhao Ping went back to the hotel to question him, and Max was finally forced to reveal his worries under the condemnation of his conscience.

At this moment, seeing that Max was showing signs of relenting, there was no need for Zhao Ping to intervene this time. Tang Meng, who had just finished bandaging the wound, took the initiative to assume the responsibility of interrogation. As expected, under Zhao Ping's eyes, the female doctor looked at Max with a serious face. , and then explained a certain logic in detail for the hotel owner who was greedy for life and feared death from the professional perspective of a psychiatrist.
