The newlyweds' apparent joy not only affected the atmosphere at the scene, but also affected Max himself, who was already suffering. In other words, since he told everyone the truth, the hotel owner exhaled as if a heavy burden had been lifted. , this kind of conscience condemnation caused by selfishness has made him suppress for a long time. Today, he finally confessed. Maxx relaxed and then...
"Since this thing can eliminate dreams, then why are we still sitting around? Why don't we go to the hospital to get medicine quickly!?"
In fact, when the situation develops to this point, the answer to what will happen next is self-evident. Sure enough, after basically confirming that the potion can give the user a dreamless night, Peng Hu was the first to react and hurriedly patted his head to urge everyone, Li Tianheng, who had also been nervous for a long time, followed up and echoed: "Yes, Mr. Max has directly pointed out the effect of the medicine anyway, so there is no need for us to continue studying it. We should go to the hospital to get the medicine quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes, go to the hospital. Go to the hospital immediately. It's best to get all the remaining dream-eliminating potions in the hospital!" In order to save his own life, Chen Shuihong glanced at the increasingly dark night scene outside the window, shaking his fat Rou was urging him. Not only did he support Peng Hu's point of view, the greedy fat man even planned to keep all the potions. After all, there were many executors, and a small amount of potions was simply not enough for everyone to share. But the strange thing is...
"Eh? Zhao Ping, what's wrong with you? Why don't you say anything? And Cheng Yingtangmeng, why are you..."
Just when everyone was overjoyed and eager to try, Peng Hu suddenly found that some people were unresponsive. Among them, Zhao Ping, Cheng Ying and Tang Meng were following with their eyebrows slightly hesitant. During the hesitation, the three of them looked at each other. You, the eye contact was very frequent. It wasn’t until Peng Hu touched his head and asked, that Zhao Ping left his seat and stood up under Cheng Yingtang’s cute nods. He then took out a stack of large-denomination US dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into Max’s hand. Max was shocked on the spot by seeing so many US dollar bills. Just as he was about to ask, Zhao Ping raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Mr. Max, of the two bottles of medicine you brought, we will keep one and the rest." You will still keep the bottle for yourself. These are the money we spent to buy the potion. Oh, by the way, one more thing. After I go back, I hope Mr. Max can continue to keep the potion secret, otherwise..."
While Zhao Ping was speaking, he heard a whistling sound and saw Cheng Ying, who was standing opposite Max just now, suddenly flash behind the man at an alarming speed.
When Max turned around in shock, Zhao Ping just introduced: "My companion is the world's top killer. Her speed is about three times that of ordinary humans. As long as she wants to kill someone, then No one in the world can escape her pursuit, and the only outcome is death."
After Max was sent away with a huge amount of money that no one could refuse and Cheng Ying's on-site demonstration, only the executor was left in the room. At this moment, facing the puzzled looks of Peng Hu and others, he adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Zhao Ping still spoke calmly, and explained in an unhurried tone to a group of executors who were eager to go to the hospital to get medicine: "It's too late, the doctors in the hospital have already got off work, not to mention that Max just said that between medicine It is an illegal drug, and the medicine has been kept properly. Even Max does not know the specific location of the medicine. Even if we go to the hospital now, it is actually very difficult to find it in such a large hospital. In this case, we might as well go there tomorrow go."
The so-called explanation of the man with glasses was totally untenable, which made Peng Hu and others more and more confused. Peng Hu was about to refute, but Zhao Ping waved his hand in advance to signal for silence. At the same time, he picked up the potion on the table under everyone's gaze, and finally put the bottle The only potion was handed into Yang Xiaohui's hand.
"As a senior and acting captain, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the newcomers, so Yang Xiaohui, it's up to you to take the potion tonight."
……………
When a person is extremely shameless, no matter what he does or says, he will not have any emotional fluctuations. On the contrary, he will give others a very sincere feeling. Faced with this kind of sincerity full of goodwill, ordinary people will not only You won't think too much, but will be extremely grateful. If it is coupled with a gentle and good-looking appearance, the effect will undoubtedly be better.
Therefore, when a certain handsome and well-meaning man with glasses took the initiative to express his noble character, Yang Xiaohui, who had zero understanding of the man with glasses, burst into tears of gratitude. She did not expect that this team leader would take such good care of her, and actually treat her as the only person he currently has. Give yourself a bottle of potion for your own use! This kind of noble character is enough to make anyone deeply admire her. Sure enough, when she saw the man with glasses handing the potion to her, Yang Xiaohui hurriedly thanked her. Facing her thanks, the man with glasses smiled and nodded, saying it was okay, which was a vivid interpretation of kindness. However, Watching the bespectacled man hand the potion into Yang Xiaohui's hand, the rest of the people at the scene reacted clearly. It can be said that except for Tian Guohua who showed the expected expression of envy, everyone else at the scene was more or less. Or less facial expression.
Cheng Ying was expressionless and calm throughout the whole process, Tang Meng frowned slightly as if he was hesitating, Peng Hu's flesh trembled and he gritted his teeth, Chen Shuihong's flesh trembled slightly as the background, and Li Tianheng simply put on an "I knew it" expression, among which Chen Xiaoyao is the most free and easy. Maybe he has long been accustomed to the style of men with glasses. Chen Daoshi doesn't even bother to look at him. He just lies on the sofa and rests alone. As for Han Xuedian...
With a little experience and understanding of the man with glasses, he could see it and knew the purpose of the man's move. Why did the man with glasses generously hand over the only potion to Yang Xiaohui? The answer is self-evident.
Thinking of this, Han Xuedian was not only frightened, but also felt a sense of inexplicable joy in his heart! I'm glad I joined the team a little early, or I'm glad I met a despicable and sinister man with glasses in advance!
In order to protect the newcomers as much as possible, the meeting ended when Zhao Ping specified that Yang Xiaohui would take the medicine tonight. Of course, since it was now known that Freddy dragged him into sleep, he could not be woken up by others, and everyone had already They found hope. Different from last night, when they returned to their respective rooms, it was as if they had agreed to it. Except for Yang Xiaohui, who dared to sleep due to taking the medicine, the rest of the people tried their best to stay awake and made it a point to stay up until dawn. Persistence in doing things.
There was no words for a night, and nothing happened during this period. The next morning, when they saw Yang Xiaohui appearing in everyone's eyes in high spirits, it was like a big rock finally fell to the ground, and everyone was overjoyed!
Time, the third day of the supernatural mission, 13:02 pm.
Rumble.
Accompanied by the roar of a locomotive, a Corvos car is currently driving at a constant speed along the town road. Yes, this is the car of the innkeeper Max, and the person in charge of driving at this moment is also Max himself, with the co-pilot beside him. Tang Meng was sitting, and Cheng Ying was sitting in the back seat. While the vehicle was driving, Tang Meng didn't talk to Cheng Ying or Max. She just looked out the window, seemingly thinking about something.
There is no doubt that since yesterday I learned from Max that there is a special potion in the town that can eliminate dreams, and all the potions are stored in the town hospital, then the executor must get the potion no matter what. This is true, and this is also true. As the night passed, and Yang Xiaohui, who had witnessed taking the medicine, was in high spirits and was safe and sound, everyone was reassured and went to the hospital. So, just after lunch Tang Meng took the initiative to go to the hospital to get the medicine. Although everyone knew that Freddy was the greatest threat in the dream world, considering that Freddy had an entity in reality and the entity was very likely to be hiding in the town. , for the sake of safety, Cheng Ying decided to accompany him, and the result was certain. With Cheng Ying, the world's top killer, protecting him, everyone felt more at ease. As for why they called Max before setting off? The reason is even simpler, because Max has friends and acquaintances in the hospital. With Max as a middleman, the contact with the hospital will naturally save a lot of trouble.
The car drove all the way along the highway. Tang Meng didn't deliberately remember how long it drove. In short, after driving for about 5 minutes, the car stopped in front of a building. When he got out of the car and looked closely, he saw a large-scale building in front of him. It is a medium-sized hospital with a total of three floors. It is quite average and has no bright spots. The words "Chunmu Town Hospital" are clearly marked in front of the door. It is not only the only hospital in the town, but also the only place where the dream elimination potion is stored.
Then, under the leadership of Max, the three of them walked straight into the hospital, ignoring the small town residents who were registering for medical treatment in the lobby. The three of them went up the stairs and soon reached the third floor and finally stopped in front of an office. , as the three people stopped one after another, Max, who had already been bribed by the executioner with money, raised his hand and knocked on the door without hesitation.
Boom, boom, boom.
"Please come in."
After just a few taps with his fingers, a slightly hoarse man's voice came from inside. After receiving permission, Max opened the door first and entered.
This is the office of the vice president, and the vice president is also Max's acquaintance in the hospital. It is conceivable that with such a powerful friend in the hospital, it is no wonder that Max can get Illegal drugs that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this time he is not the protagonist. The protagonist is someone else.
After entering the office, the first thing that caught Tang Meng and Cheng Ying's eyes was a standard desk. Sitting next to the table was a middle-aged man who was almost the same age as Max. This person was the person Max mentioned before they came. Hollard, vice president of the hospital.
This wasn't over yet. When they entered the room, if the first thing the two women saw was the deputy dean, they soon discovered other things. In this not-so-big office, there was a refrigerator placed in the corner.
"Hey! Hollard!"
Getting back to the topic, the visitor was Max. Like Max, Hollard also smiled almost at the same time. He was about to open his mouth to reply hello, but soon, after seeing two strangers following Max, Hollard was startled at first, and then showed doubts.
"Huh? Max, who are these two beautiful ladies?"
Yes, because he did not expect that Max would bring two strangers with him, Hollard wanted to know the identities of these two women who had never seen him before but were both outrageously beautiful. He was confused. After asking out of curiosity, Max went straight to the point and said in a low voice: "Hollard, I won't go into roundabout ways. They are a group of tourists from the East who are currently staying in In my hotel, but unfortunately these people are haunted by Freddy, and the purpose of bringing them here this time is to hope that you can help them."
As a friend, Max must have sworn to tell Hollard that Freddy had been resurrected, and Hollard must have believed Max, otherwise Max would not have made it clear at the beginning of the meeting. Tell him clearly that these Orientals need help, and hope that he can take out some more of the remaining dream-eliminating potions in the hospital. Sure enough, as soon as Max finished speaking, Hollard, who was still sitting peacefully, was shocked on the spot, and first left. He stood up and walked towards the door, then stuck his head out the door and looked left and right. After confirming that there was no one else in the corridor, Hollard closed the door and asked Max coldly: "Didn't we agree to keep the potion a secret?" You? Then why do you tell others? "
"me……"
Facing Hollard's serious question, Max stood speechless in front of him and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After all, he couldn't tell him that he had received a lot of money from the executor, right? Therefore, she was speechless for a moment and looked embarrassed, but Tang Meng reacted very quickly. Seeing Max in trouble, the female doctor immediately walked up to Hollard and said: "Mr. Dean, in fact, Mr. Max is not to blame for this matter, but us. He was forced to say it because we were attacked by Freddy and one of our companions was killed in his dream! The police strictly prohibited us from leaving the town... Frankly speaking, we are at the end of the road. Fortunately, through Mr. Max, we heard that It is said that there are still some dream-eliminating potions left in the hospital. The purpose of coming to Mr. Dean this time is to get some potions. Don’t worry, we won’t need too much, just a few days’ supply is enough.”
Tang Meng's nervous expression and pleading words that didn't seem to be fake successfully attracted Hollard's attention. After hearing this, Hollard glanced at Tang Meng first, and then asked tentatively with hesitation: "What about Freddy? Do you know everything?".
Tang Meng definitely nodded.
Silence, silence, silence.
As mentioned above, after getting Tang Meng's affirmative answer, for some reason, Hollard fell into a long period of silent contemplation. During this period, his eyebrows changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
No one knew what the powerful vice president in the hospital was thinking about, but as a psychiatrist, Tang Meng gradually saw Ni Duan. While Hollard kept Shen pretending to think, On the opposite side, Tang Meng suddenly spoke and continued: "Mr. Dean, you can rest assured that we will not tell anyone about the remaining medicines in the hospital. After all, we are just a group of tourists here. We will leave immediately after the matter is over. , so I hereby promise you that I will never reveal even a word."
Tang Meng's repeated assurances made Hollard nodded slightly, and then he walked back to the desk and sat down. He sat back, but Hollard remained silent, and did not give Tang Meng any reply from beginning to end. The next moment he returned to the table, he put his hands on the table and tapped his fingers slowly and rhythmically.
Seeing this scene, Tang Meng realized it again without needing to be reminded. He immediately turned to look at Cheng Ying, and Cheng Ying did something the moment she caught Tang Meng's eyes. She reached out and took out a picture from her arms. paper, and then put the paper on the table. At the same time, Tang Meng squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Dean, this is a withdrawal check from Citibank. There is no amount written on it, but if the amount is within 100,000 , you can fill in any number you want."
As soon as Tang Meng finished speaking, Hollard on the opposite side stopped tapping his fingers on the table, then stretched out his hand to take the check in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. After confirming that the check was authentic, Hollard still had no expression on his face, but this time Then he started talking: "How much do you want?"
Faced with Hollard's simple and straightforward statement, Tang Meng, who had long regarded the matter as a business, was not good at ink. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head again and answered: "36 bottles."
The current specific number of executors is 12. Although the team will have to stay in the town for four days, it only needs three nights. Because of this, after a little calculation, Tang Meng did not hesitate to take it. 36 bottles.
Relying on money to open the way, Tang Meng bluntly stated the required quantity, but Hollard frowned and looked embarrassed after learning the specific quantity. He didn't know whether it was because the hospital's inventory was not large or he had other intentions. Ladd did not nod in agreement, but turned his attention to Max, who had been acting as a background.
First of all, it is certain that as an old friend who has known each other for many years, Max must know Hollard better than the executor. Therefore, seeing Hollard look at him, Max instantly understood the meaning, but he was a little embarrassed to open his mouth. Of course, he was embarrassed. I was sorry, but under the increasingly intense gaze of Hollard, Max finally couldn't resist it, so he bit the bullet and said awkwardly to Tang Meng: "Well, um, Miss Tang, the quantity you want is a bit too much, although The hospital did produce a large amount of pharmaceuticals last year, but the problem is that the pharmaceuticals were later classified as illegal drugs and destroyed centrally. There is no denying that the hospital kept some privately, but in fact the quantity is still very limited."
As soon as Max finished speaking, both Tang Meng and Cheng Ying understood the meaning at the same time. They didn't expect that the deputy dean named Hollard knew how to rip off people. Don't look at the words just now coming from Max. mouth, in fact, it is to help Hollard convey his meaning, and the so-called insufficient inventory is most likely an excuse. If nothing else, just from Hollard's silence just now, it can be seen that the stock of medicine must be sufficient. , there is no problem in taking out at least 36 bottles. If it is not enough, Hollard has already made it clear. There is no need to put on a frowning and embarrassed expression. The purpose of putting on an embarrassed expression is nothing more than to rip off.
Faced with naked extortion, most people have long been annoyed. However, only the executors are different. In other words, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem in the eyes of the executors. Therefore, it is natural that after figuring out the above reasons, Tang Meng turned around again, and Cheng Ying took out the check and put it on the table again. However, the difference from the previous time was that this time, before Tang Meng could say anything, Cheng Ying rushed to see the check. Hollard, whose eyes flashed subconsciously, said: "The maximum amount of this check is US$50,000. Is this enough to keep the hospital alive?"
The cold tone is enough to prove that Cheng Ying is already angry and extremely unhappy with Hollard's greed. Yes, even if the executor is indeed not short of money, she can't tolerate repeated extortion. In fact, the person who just spoke At that time, Cheng Ying had already made up her mind. If Hollard dared to continue to be greedy, she would still provide the money. After all, this drug that can eliminate dreams is too important to the execution team, but she would sentence him to death afterwards. , we will kill this guy named Hollard tonight!
Fortunately, the expected situation did not happen in the end. I don’t know whether it was because the amount was enough this time or because he was intimidated by Cheng Ying’s momentum. After getting another large check with a large amount, Hollard finally showed a satisfied smile. , nodded with satisfaction, got up from his seat, and walked towards the corner refrigerator. He reached out and opened the refrigerator, and saw that it was full of bottles. They all looked like dream elimination potions, and the number was about a hundred!
Just when Tang Meng and Cheng Ying were secretly sighing, Hollard had also completed his work and put the entire 36 bottles of medicine into a small metal box. Tang Meng instinctively went over to check. Soon, after confirming and After counting the number of medicines, Tang Meng politely thanked Hollard: "Mr. Dean, thank you very much for your help."
Finally getting the special potion he had dreamed of, Tang Meng took a long breath. After thanking Hollard, Tang Meng took the lead and left, followed closely by Cheng Ying, and Max, who was just here to act as a middleman, naturally After completing the task, he left with the two women. Before going out, he looked at Hollard, who had made a lot of money today, with envious eyes. It was obvious that if nothing unexpected happened, he would secretly discuss with Hollard tonight. Money distribution problem.
The specific distribution method is definitely not the concern of the executor, and Tang Meng and Cheng Ying, who successfully obtained the items they wanted, returned to the hotel as soon as they obtained the potion. Yes, after obtaining enough for the execution team to consume After taking the potion at the end of the mission, for now, whether it is Tang Meng or Cheng Ying, both women are excited. As long as the potion is there, Freddy cannot threaten the team, at least he cannot secretly invade everyone while the executor is sleeping. Dreams, being unable to invade dreams represents safety, absolute safety in the true sense!
Some people died, but not completely...
