The Hitzfeld Mysteries

Page 221

Xia Yibing was extremely confused.

She didn’t understand what she said was wrong, and she didn’t understand why Hitzfeld was angry.

I moved forward and was pushed away.

I tried to put my hand on his shoulder, but was pushed away.

Xia Yibing suddenly didn’t know what to do.

After thinking about it, she decided to hold off for now.

After waiting for a while, the girl in the darkness relaxed and her breathing became even and steady. She knew that Hitzfeld must have fallen asleep.

It was impossible for the other party to be upset at this time. She happily hugged the girl in her arms, felt the feel of her, and fell asleep contentedly.

Dream world.

Hitzfeld’s figure sank in the gray fog.

Her emotions come and go quickly.

It wasn’t a big deal, and she didn’t understand why she was angry.

She regretted it the moment she showed her anger. She felt a little strange, and felt that this unreasonable venting behavior was disrespectful to Xia.

But if she was asked to apologize immediately, she didn’t seem particularly willing to do so.

So let’s go to sleep first.

I have something important to do.

I’ll talk to you when I’m done.

With her feet touching the ground, she stood in the thick, dense gray fog, and could vaguely see the misty light and shadows flowing in the sky.

The scenes in the dream world are so bizarre that you will be amazed no matter how many times you see them.

It’s just like the universe, there is a kind of beauty that emerges from danger.

This is the normal dream world.

It is neither like Wayne, who can directly reflect the projection of the city in the dream, and even has an upside-down dream city above; nor is it like the Crystal Sea, where there is no place to stay at all.

This is what the dream world of a normal, common human city looks like.

Can step on the ground.

Part of the city’s wreckage can be seen in the gray fog.

I can feel those mysterious buildings and the consciousness shining in the mist.

Those are all mundane consciousness.

Mortals cannot control their consciousness, and when they dream they will fall into the fog and be unable to extricate themselves. Hitzfeld didn’t know what kind of nightmares these consciousnesses were having, and she didn’t intend to investigate unless she was sure that they were related to the case.

That’s the only way it’s worth exposing.

A hand quietly patted my shoulder.

She was startled and turned back suddenly, seeing Xia Yibing waving at her.

“You were so busy having a tantrum that you forgot to put on your shoes.”

Xia Yibing said.

Hitzfeld’s heart skipped a beat.

I lowered my head and found that I was wearing a pair of black leather shoes.

“I helped you put it on.”

Xia Yibing raised her eyebrows.

She might have meant it as a compliment, but Hitzfeld’s face turned red again.

It was actually Xia… who helped me put on the shoes?

She saw my feet…

She touched my feet…

This is simply——

If consciousness also has a body and can manifest actual body temperature, Hitzfeld estimated that her head would be smoking.

Xia Yibing didn’t notice her abnormality at all. She was much more familiar with sneaking into the dream world to investigate than Hitzfeld. After entering, most of her attention was focused on observing the surrounding environment.

At this moment, her brows were furrowed, because according to her observation, something seemed wrong.

Logically speaking, there should be a ruined city of Nanxinze in the dream world shrouded in gray fog.

It is smaller than the real Nanxinze.

More dilapidated.

It can be said to be incomplete.

It is not the city that really exists in the dream, but a virtual image of the city composed of the consciousness, memory and thinking of all the residents of Nanxinze who are dreaming at this time.

That’s how it should be… If everything went normal, they should come out of an even more run-down wicker bar, with South Bridge Square in front.

If you want to investigate someone at this time.

Like investigating that bartender.

All you have to do is sneak into his room and touch the mist that envelops him, and you can experience in detail the nightmare he is experiencing at that moment.

Normally this is the case.

Although one still needs to be careful, because there may be countless evil nightmares hidden in this gray fog city, but at least… this is the normal situation.

However, everything that appeared before her eyes at this moment was impacting her cognition.

Ahead, there is no Nanqiao Square.

Turning around, there was no wicker bar in sight.

What came into view was a narrow, dilapidated street that seemed to have no end. Candles were lit every ten meters on both sides of the street, and the dim light penetrated the fog and dimly illuminated the wet road surface.

Here…it’s raining in the dream world?

What on earth is this——

Hitzfeld also realized that something was wrong.

She walked to the side of the road, through a light layer of fog, and found the road sign at the intersection.

“402-810 Xichuan Street.”

“1-207 Banyan Street.”

“Be careful when crossing the road.”

“Welcome to… West Grant.”

Chapter 24 Star Jellyfish

Xia Yibing came to Hitzfeld and saw the road sign just like her.

Both of them were in unprecedented shock.

This is actually West Grant?

The city that disappeared in the evil invasion and was devoured by the Ouroboros?

“Hitzfeld!” Xia Yibing made a prompt decision and quickly grabbed the girl’s hand: “Let’s go back!”

An extremely important rule of survival in the dream world: when you find that something is wrong, you should wake up as soon as possible if conditions permit.

However, no matter how hard she and Hitzfeld tried, they could not establish the slightest connection with their real bodies.

The connection between them was cut off. They seemed to be trapped here.

“Hahaha.”

There was a dry laugh from behind.

The two men moved in almost the same way – they reached under their arms, pulled out their pistols, and aimed at the dim, strange shadow on the street lamp.

“Oh! Oh! Don’t get excited! I don’t mean any harm to you!”

Perhaps frightened by their actions, the strange figure raised its voice and spread its wings on both sides of its body – from the outline, it looked like a large bird of prey like an owl.

But birds of prey cannot speak, and it is even more impossible for them to appear in this strange dream city.

“If you can understand what I’m saying.” Hitzfeld stared at the shadow of the strange bird, “then you shouldn’t hide your body in the dark.”

“you’re right.”

With the sound of flapping wings, the strange bird spread its wings and flew away from the street lamp, flying a small circle in the aim of the two people, and finally landed on the road sign.

At this point, they finally saw its appearance clearly.

Sharp claws. Soft down covering the neck and belly. Mysterious black lines on the light brown feathers… In terms of its body, it is indeed an owl.

But its head is a skull.

A skeleton that doesn’t belong to a bird…it’s not that simple.

But… they don’t know how to describe it specifically for the time being… It’s like taking a small human skull, smashing all its teeth, and then installing a long bird beak of the same material in the original gap in the mouth.

The beak and skull were the same color, both were dark gray. It also wore a gentleman’s felt hat, and two points of blue fire burned in its two extremely large eye sockets.

“…What are you?”

Xia Yibing asked with a frown.

She had never seen such a strange bird, or even heard of it.

Is that dark blue flame the fire of death?

But how can the undead fire appear in a body attached to flesh and blood?

Even though this thing has a skull, its body is still made of flesh, right?

“Ha…ha…ha…how rude!” The strange bird spread its wings and let out another dry laugh. “It’s always like this…you outsiders are always like this…I’m not angry…I won’t be angry at all for uneducated living people…”

“Since you are afraid of what we have, you must know how powerful the silver bullet is.” Xia Yibing’s mouth twitched, “Explain yourself honestly and what happened to this city.”

“If you dare to tell a lie…”

She didn’t say anything else, but aimed the gun at the strange bird’s head at the right time.

“Don’t shoot!” The strange bird was unexpectedly timid, raising both wings, “We are one family! We are one family!… God, at least I was alive back then! Can’t you give me some face for the sake of our past friendship?”

“Hurry up and speak!” Xia Yibing was impatient.

“My name is Simon, and I’m the owner of the Fairy Bar.” The strange bird was completely scared. “As for this city… Is there something wrong with West Grant?”

“Bang!” A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the road sign with a harsh friction sound.

Not only the strange bird, but also Hitzfeld was frightened.

“I really don’t know! Sister~!” Judging from the tone of his voice, the strange bird was about to cry out of grievance, “I have lived here for too long… and I have never seen an outsider asking about the city…”

“You said you were a bar owner,” Hitzfeld asked. “Does that mean there’s a bar in the city? And people live there? Will they take care of your business?”

“You are insulting me.” The strange bird’s tone suddenly returned to seriousness, “Everyone in West Grant knows that the Dream Brew at the Fairy Bar is a rare delicacy! Our business is booming!”

Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing looked at each other.

If this thing isn’t lying, this city is incredible.

It said that it was once a living person, which means that a living person could also become like it?

And there are actually residents active in West Grant… This is a bit too scary.

Especially Hitzfeld.

She vaguely felt that she had heard the name Simon somewhere, but she couldn’t remember it for a while.
