The black doorway was only a dozen meters deep.
Lin Sheng moved forward cautiously, taking light breaths as he listened carefully to the sounds around him.
* Dong. *
Suddenly, a dull sound like a bell rang out from within Blackfeather City.
Lin Sheng stopped in his tracks.
* Dong … Dong … Dong … *
The bell rang again and again, five times in a row. Only then did the sound gradually stop.
Lin Sheng stood still as he listened carefully to the changes in his surroundings.
After a few minutes, there was no movement, so he picked up his sword again and slowly moved forward.
Soon, he passed through the doorway again, and the view before him became clear.
Decayed and black buildings and streets, and unknown black rags drifting in the wind. A lonely direction sign stood by the side of the road.
Lin Sheng did not look at the direction sign, but walked straight to the street on the right without hesitation.
His sneakers stepped on the hard gravel ground from the black soil, and it suddenly felt a little rough.
On the street on the right, the main road was paved with cobblestones, and on both sides were broken stone buildings that looked like they had been in a fire.
Most of these buildings were two or three stories high, and did not look like shops, but more like ordinary houses or small villas.
On the main road, there was a stone lamp post at regular intervals.
What surprised Lin Sheng was that the street lamps were still lit with a pale yellow light, and the candlelight in the square lampshade swayed slightly, flickering with the cold wind.
"They weren't lit before …" He recalled the last time he entered the city, and at that time, he did not see these street lamps lit up.
His heart skipped a beat, and Lin Sheng quickly began to look for a place to hide.
Looking left and right, he quickly found a row of buildings on the right, with broken doors and windows, which could be used to temporarily hide.
However, those pitch-black holes also made his heart tremble. Who knew what dangerous things were hidden inside.
Standing on the street, he looked ahead. The street lit up by the street lamps was empty, cold, and dead. It stretched all the way to the end of his vision.
"If I don't go now, I'll wake up …" Lin Sheng's heart pumped, and with his sword in hand, he followed the planned route and strode forward.
* Thud, thud … *
Although he tried to walk as softly as possible, his footsteps still echoed on the street.
* Hiss … *
Suddenly, a faint noise, as if someone was whispering into his ear, drifted over from the front.
Lin Sheng's expression changed. He quickly looked for a broken window on the right, and with a quick step, he squeezed in.
Then, he squatted down and hid under the wall of the window.
Hiss, hiss …
The sound was getting closer and closer …
In the middle of the street.
A huge black shadow that was two stories tall was moving sluggishly, dragging a long snake tail as it slithered forward and appeared in this street block.
There were countless ant-like black insects crawling all over its body. Its entire body was completely covered by the black insects, and its appearance could not be seen clearly.
Through the bugs, one could see that its upper body was vaguely humanoid.
The face on its head had a huge black and red snake tongue in and out, and there were three pairs of black eyes on its face that looked like rotten tree holes.
At this moment, these eyes were looking around greedily.
Slowly and quietly, Lin Sheng peeked out from the crack on the windowsill.
* Gulp … *
He could not help but swallow his saliva, and did not dare to move.
The monster quickly swam past. Its upper body was that of a human, and its lower body was that of a giant python. Its long and thick tail was covered with glossy black scales.
The cobblestone that was laid on the street rubbed against its scales, making the hissing sound that Lin Sheng had heard just now.
Some of the debris that was blocking the monster's path was easily crushed by it.
Lin Sheng did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear that he would attract the monster's attention.
For a monster of this size, not to mention attacking it, even escaping would be a problem.
The hissing sound slowly faded away.
Until there was no more movement, Lin Sheng still did not dare to move for a long time.
The monster's huge size had completely frightened him. Once he was discovered by a monster of that level, he would have no other choice but to die.
After the hissing sound disappeared for a few dozen breaths, he slowly stood up from the windowsill.
"Young man … You … Did you see my Justin?"
Suddenly, a panicked female voice came from behind Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng quivered, and suddenly stood up and turned around.
The black sword pointed behind him.
Only then did he realize that he had entered a dilapidated room that looked like a living room.
In the corner of the room, a door that led to another room, stood a pale woman.
The woman seemed to be in her forties, and she looked haggard and anxious.
Her eyes were sunken, and there were heavy bags under her eyes. Her gaze was blank and unfocused. She wore a grey cloak similar to that of a nun, and even her head was covered.
"Young man … Did you see my Justin?" The woman repeated her question again.
Lin Sheng was alarmed.
But he still let out a sigh of relief. This was the first time he had met someone who could speak in the dream.
This gave him a faint sense of security that he could communicate with.
In this huge dream, it was empty and silent. He had been alone for a long time, and he often felt a little anxious.
Fortunately, he had finally met someone he could communicate with.
Lin Sheng narrowed his eyes, and after making sure that the woman's hands were hanging down, and there were no obvious hidden weapons, he slowly moved closer.
"Hello, I don't know who this Justin you're talking about is. But if you can tell me some clues, maybe I can help you find him. "
He replied slowly in the same Blackfeather City accent. Every word was enunciated very clearly.
He was speaking Ancient Rehn in the dream. After absorbing so many memory fragments, the spoken language was still a little shaky when he first started speaking. But he quickly got used to it.
The woman's unfocused eyes gradually narrowed, and landed on Lin Sheng.
"Can you really help me find him?"
"If you can provide some clues and help," Lin Sheng replied cautiously.
"If I help you, can I find Justin?" The woman asked.
"I think so. It's possible, it's possible …"
"When can I find him!? When!? I want to find him now, right now! Help me find him! Okay!? Okay!! I want to find Justin now, right now!!! Now!!! Now!! "The more the woman spoke, the more agitated she got.
She began to dance, her arms flailing wildly, and her eyes became redder and redder.
Suddenly, her head exploded!
Before Lin Sheng could reply, he saw a bang!
The woman's head exploded like a balloon.
The explosion splattered a large amount of black sand-like fluid, and the fluid gathered into black lines on the ground, hissing softly, and quickly flowed towards him.
A large number of densely packed black lines instantly filled the entire room. From all directions, up, down, left and right, they madly pounced towards him.
"F * ck!!" Lin Sheng did not have time to think. His scalp went numb, and he turned and jumped out of the window.
As soon as he jumped out, countless black lines rushed out of the window and chased after him.
Lin Sheng rolled a few times on the ground, and got up on one knee. He looked back, and his face turned green. He got up and ran.
