Chapter 13 Dream Eater Tapir
The middle-aged man came out of the shopping mall with a bag of things, and his rolling soul kept following him, stopping occasionally to see if Ye Hui and Gulou were following.
"Ow~"
Twolegs, hurry up!It's too late!
Rolling back and hugging the little skull hiding behind the wall, howling, but neither of them understood.
Gu Lou took out a small bowknot from the bag and wanted to try it on Gun Gun. He thought it would pass through, but he didn't expect the bow to be firmly worn on Gun Gun's ear.
The little skull tilted his head and thought, the wool from the Snake House seems not to be ordinary wool?
Rolling struggled to get down, if ordinary humans happened to pass by, what they would see would definitely be a pink bow hanging in mid-air and moving around.
The middle-aged uncle stopped halfway and coughed a few times, touched his arm and said, "Cough, cough, hoo, it's really going to be cold today, and it's really hard to catch a cold."
"Ah Choo! Ah Choo!" The uncle sneezed twice, stopped at the door of the room, took out the key, opened the door and entered.
Ye Hui and Gu Lou watched from a distance, there was a photo on the screen of the phone, it was a middle-aged uncle who had just entered.
Little Skull hugged the panda and asked, "Is this uncle related to Gun Gun?"
"En." Ye Hui nodded, "The flu virus that suddenly broke out recently is too strange. According to the investigation of the intelligence agency, there are three severe patients, all of whom are breeders of the city zoo, and one of the panda breeders is the most seriously ill. Yes, I am still in a coma. When Tian Ye told me that he saw this panda in the hospital, I wondered if there might be a connection."
"What does that have to do with this uncle?"
"This man is a lion breeder in the zoo. He also had a 'cold' in the afternoon and went to the hospital. He is in the same isolation room as Tian Ye." Ye Hui pointed to the dumbfounded Gun Gun and said, "This bear has been hugging his thigh, obviously I know him. .”
Ye Hui was about to knock on the door, but the door opened by itself, and the uncle came out carrying a bag of garbage, humming an unknown tune.
Suddenly, walking halfway, the uncle's body twitched, foaming at the mouth instantly and fell to the ground, his eyes popped out, his hands scratched the ground vigorously, lying on the ground struggling desperately, making a "hehe" sound from his mouth.
"Aww!" Gun Gun, the two rushed over one step ahead, anxiously circling around the uncle, patting the uncle's face lightly with his little paw, as if indicating something.
Gu Lou and Ye Hui rushed over, the uncle's eyes had turned white and his eyeballs could not be seen, and a black irregular patch moved under the skin of the uncle's face.
"What is this?" Gu Lou stretched out his hand to press the black spot under the skin, a wave of energy was absorbed along the bone fingers into the heart of the little skull, the black spot shrank a little, and it struggled to escape as if it had vitality, from the uncle's The face moves onto the neck, shoulders, arms.
Ye Hui looked solemn, took out a dagger, and cut the skin surface of the uncle's arm boldly and neatly. The strange thing was that the knife edge was still there, but not a drop of blood dripped down, and there was no trace of the black spot.
Gu Lou's hands trembled a little, "What is this..."
Ye Hui slowly spit out two words: "Nightmare."
"...Nightmare?" Little Skull, who still didn't know much about this world, repeated these two words. Does nightmare mean nightmare?A monster living in a nightmare?
The uncle's body has stopped struggling, but his breathing still looks very steady and powerful.
"Nightmare, living in nightmares, has no physical form. After tormenting the body, mind and will of the creature with nightmares, it parasitizes into the host's heart while the other party is weak, and then slowly eats away the host's soul until it is completely Until it replaces the host."
Ye Hui cut the uncle's shirt, and on the uncle's chest, the black spot burrowed into the flesh like a bug.
Gu Lou was startled and asked, "Is there any way to destroy it?"
"Yes, unless the host dies."
Gu Lou took a breath, "Isn't there no other way? We can only let the Nightmare parasitize until his soul is gone, and become a petri dish for Nightmare?"
Ye Hui continued, "Or the nightmare-eating tapir and the dreamcatcher."
"..." Gu Lou felt relieved, as long as there are other ways, "By the way... can you stop panting so much when you speak?"
Ye Hui looked at him with a smile: "Create an atmosphere of tension and suspense. If everything is too simple, it will be too boring."
"Then let's catch a nightmare!" Little Skull clenched his fists, his tone as simple as saying to catch a Pikachu.
"Dreamcatchers are sold in the shop opened by the cat demon, and the dream-eating tapir is not that simple." Ye Hui gently tapped the top of his head through a hat, and joked: "There has been no dream-eating tapir for more than 100 years. It has appeared, maybe if you make a wish on the shooting star, maybe a nightmare-eating tapir will fall from the sky?"
Little Skull clasped his fingers and faced the sky. A plane happened to pass by in the sky, and the taillights flickered high in the sky like stars visible to the naked eye.
Little Skull made a pious wish: "Meteor, Meteor, please give me a nightmare!"
The cool wind of the autumn night is blowing, and there is a voice coming from far and near:
"Ah ah ah ah - your grandpa, I'm here!"
A chubby owl flew over holding a golden ball of hair in its sharp claws. Although the body was bloated, the owl's flying posture was still vigorous, and it flew over the small skull at lightning speed. When the claws were loosened, a ball of hair The fluffy "something" fell down.
"Boom" hit Ye Hui on the head.
"Five packs of green tea-flavored idiot melon seeds for the carriage fee. Remember to pay for it." After he finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away. Today, he was kicked out by the owner of the flower and bird shop because he ate too much. Halfway through the flight, he met a little hamster, a friend for many years. , As long as the five packs of melon seeds are paid for the transportation fee, the loyal ones will take off.
Being hit by a lump of meat ball, Ye Hui's expression did not change at all. He gently grabbed the hairy ball that was "airsick" and retched, and took a look. There were round ears, black peas eyes, pink nose, and a pointed nose. A little bit long, the two front teeth are white and bright, and when you lift the tail of the hairball, you can see two golden and fluffy eggs.
Isn't this... the nightmare-eating tapir?And it is a dream-eating tapir who has practiced to perfection.
Mao Tuanzi retched and yelled angrily, "Ugh...perverted...you..."
Ye Hui poked its soft belly: "Break into the human world and talk to unknown humans, do you know that this is a violation of the Three Realms regulations?"
Mao Tuanzi waved his little paws in defense: "Let go of me! I have made meritorious service for mankind, and I have shed blood for the people! I am a demon with an ID card!"
Seeing this, the little skull quickly rescued Yuanyuan, "Little ancestor, why are you here?"
Yuanyuan turned into a fat doll in Gu Lou's embrace, her chubby face was wrinkled: "Whoa...wasn't it here to save you! Ugh...dead fat bird...uh..."
Ye Hui narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, "Do you know each other?"
Gu Lou patted Yuanyuan's back to give it a good air, and replied: "Well, it is the first creature I encountered in this world."
"Do you know how old he is?"
"More than 2000 years old." I'm still the same age as me, so the little skull didn't dare to say the latter sentence.
Ye Hui: "..." You know he is an old goblin and still hug him?
A pair of big hands pulled Yuanyuan out of Gulou's embrace, and placed it next to the uncle who had been lying on the ground for a long time. Ye Hui patted Yuanyuan's head and said, "This man has a nightmare on him, I'll give you a snack if he catches it." .”
Hearing the word "Nightmare", Yuanyuan's retching symptoms healed, and her eyes lit up. The Nightmare almost disappeared a long time ago. For nightmare eaters, it is not only a delicacy, but also a great tonic. .
Yuanyuan shuffled back into a ball of hair, jumped onto the uncle's chest, pawed here and there, pressed her head against the uncle's chest, listening to the movement.
Suddenly, Yuanyuan yelled loudly, as if he had caught something with his claws, a mass of black mist writhed and struggled to be pulled into long strips by Yuanyuan, and ate it bite by bite.
"Hi... delicious!" Mao Tuanzi spread out on the ground, except for his bulging stomach, and spread it into a mouse cake.
The middle-aged uncle whimpered and slowly woke up.
"Aww~" The little panda had been quietly guarding the uncle just now, and when he saw the uncle wake up, he cried happily.
Little Skull noticed with sharp eyes that the spirit body of the little panda faded a little.
He said to Ye Hui, "Has the obsession with Gun Gun disappeared a bit?"
"Yeah." Ye Hui nodded, "If it's because the breeder is worried about being invaded by the Nightmare that keeps the soul body away, then when all the breeders in the hospital recover, the bear should be able to leave with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Gu Lou was rather reluctant to part with the little panda, the uncle had already woken up, and the little skull lowered the brim of his hat, covering his face in the shadows.
The middle-aged uncle looked at the two people around him, as well as the tattered clothes on his body and the wound on his arm, and he didn't react for a while.
Ye Hui took out his ID in time and explained: "We are the law enforcement officers of the National Security Bureau. Regarding the zoo keeper's influenza incident, I have a few questions for you to investigate. When I came, I found you passed out on the ground with a hamster on your arm. Bitten a sliver of blood."
Yuanyuan who was still hiccupping after eating: "Hi???"
Yuanyuan, who cooperated with the performance, fled away driven by Ye Hui.
The uncle looked at the wound on his arm and thought, "It doesn't look like a hamster can bite it out..."
Ye Hui remained serious: "Anyway, we were about to give you CPR, and you just woke up."
"Thank you." The uncle nodded his thanks. In any case, this police officer is handsome and upright, and he doesn't look like he can deceive people.
Following the uncle into the room, the uncle lit the lamp in the living room.
The little skull followed Ye Hui without saying a word, trying to minimize his presence.
The uncle poured two cups of warm water from a disposable plastic cup, "Thanks to the two police officers tonight, I even got better from the cold after being rescued by you, hahaha, but my legs are still a little sore, I guess it's my old cold legs." .”
The little skull silently looked at the uncle's leg pendant - roll.
"You two just said that you want to know about the flu virus?"
Ye Hui picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said, "Yes, according to the investigation, the flu virus came from the city zoo this time. Can you tell me what happened at the beginning?"
The uncle clicked his tongue and sighed, "Let me think about it carefully, the new panda breeder Xiao Liu was the one who got sick first. He is actually a caretaker of the Giant Panda Conservation Base. Last month, a panda came into our garden. The adult giant panda Xixi, he came here as Xixi's breeder, and the contract period is not long, just one year."
"Xiao Liu graduated with a master's degree, and he is easy to get along with. He often talks about the first panda baby he took care of when he just graduated. It was a little panda abandoned by his mother in the wild. He grew up with him a little bit, but he has feelings. , but the little panda was born with a weak constitution, and because of this, he was abandoned by his mother, and died of a serious illness when he was 9 months old. Xiao Liu always felt sorry for it and had nightmares every day."
"Nightmare?" Ye Hui looked at the little cub on the uncle's lap. If he hadn't caught a nightmare from the uncle just now, he might have thought that the little cub had become an evil spirit.
The uncle continued: "Yes, I had nightmares. I dreamed that the little panda was abused and bullied, and I was so depressed that I couldn't eat. Speaking of this nightmare, I often have nightmares recently. I dreamed that I was swallowed by a lion. , I’m a little scared to feed the lions now.”
Ye Hui asked, "Then, did Xiao Liu do anything unusual?"
"Abnormal behavior?" The uncle recalled: "I fainted once in the dining hall. After foaming at the mouth, I became more gloomy, and I couldn't remember some things clearly. Then I fainted again. That time I haven’t woken up since then, and I’m recuperating in the hospital now.”
Mao Tuanzi, who was eavesdropping on the corner of the sofa by the sofa, shuddered. This is the third stage of Nightmare parasitism, and after waking up for the last time, he will not have the sanity of a "human" at all.
Apparently Ye Hui also understood the seriousness of the matter, immediately pulled up the Gulou, said thank you and goodbye, and rushed to the hospital immediately.
In the car, Ye Hui put on the bluetooth headset while reversing the car. The moment the call was connected, he spoke very quickly: "Stop the operation of the hospital immediately. I have already found out the situation. It is dangerous. The Special Management Office will take full power." deal with."
In the dignified atmosphere, the little skull didn't dare to vent his breath, and listened quietly with Gungun and Yuanyuan in his arms.
Hearing Ye Hui's words, the people over there said in astonishment: "Huh? Suzaku happened to be at the target hospital. The flu intelligence collection order has been issued for nearly two hours. He should have acted."
"........."
