Chapter 787 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (18)
Ah Long and the other two's bodies twitched incessantly, as if they were trying to resist something, but they were all restricted by an uncontrollable force and could not escape.

Like three fish thrown ashore, they flapped their tails, feeling their bodies dry, struggling in their death throes.

Their faces were deathly pale, their lips bloodless, and their foreheads were covered in large beads of sweat, making them even more severely ill than Yu Muhuai had been.

Everyone was muttering something, indistinctly, but their voices were getting louder and louder.

A few words could be vaguely discerned from Cheng Guang's mouth.

"Help me," "Get away," "No!"
The same applies to Tong Yi and Lin Sixuan in the other bedroom.

Their commotion grew louder and louder. Luckily, the place where they were sleeping was a kang (a heated brick bed), otherwise it might have been broken from all the commotion.

The knocking on the door from the outside world was like a signal, amplifying the severity of their dreams and making them even more immersed in them.

While Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji were still watching Tong Yi and the other girl in the small bedroom, they suddenly heard a loud "thump" from the large bedroom, as if something had fallen to the ground.

The two quickly turned back.

But then they saw Ah Long fall off the bed.

He lay on the ground, his body still convulsing.

As his body trembled, Ah Long slowly moved towards the door, showing signs that he might crawl out.

Yu Muhuai frowned, watching A Long's movements, guessing that if he was allowed to continue like this, he would likely slowly move to the door.

It seems that the purpose of the "person" outside knocking on the door is very likely to ask the person inside to come out.

Yu Muhuai looked up at Luo Ji beside him, and the two exchanged glances.

Clearly, they were thinking the same thing.

At this moment, the knocking had changed from a light tap to a heavy pounding, the sound growing louder and louder, striking Yu Muhuai and his companion's hearts with each knock.

Judging from the way they look, it seems they can't wait for Ah Long to leave and are about to break down the door.

However, Yu Muhuai is not worried at all now. In her opinion, those unknown creatures outside are just bluffing.

Since the "people" outside wanted the people inside to leave, they didn't choose to break down the door or force their way in, but instead chose to keep interfering from outside.

This means they can't get in for the time being.

Otherwise, they wouldn't need to go to all this trouble.

They believed that only by luring the people inside to come out voluntarily could they achieve their goal.

As for why they couldn't get in, Yu Muhuai had no clue at the moment.

She speculated that the houses in Zhukun Village might have some kind of protective barrier that could shield the people inside and isolate them from outside dangers.

Another possibility is that Zhu Kuncun and those "people" reached some kind of agreement.

It's like a hunter marking out a piece of land and promising to only kill prey outside the area; if the prey is inside the area, the hunter can let it go.

Another possibility is that those "people" simply found it fun. When the difference in strength is too great, hunting too many weaker creatures at once might be too uninteresting.

So we usually let them roam freely, and only play with them when needed to add some fun.

In just a few seconds, Yu Muhuai's mind had gone through countless possibilities, coming up with a whole host of ideas.

In terms of imagination, Luo Ji never considered himself a match for Yu Muhuai.

He looked down at her, her eyes lowered in thought, her pupils darting around, and knew that she was thinking about all sorts of random things again.

However, his attention was not on that now. He raised his other hand and pointed at Ah Long on the ground, indicating that he was going to stop him.

Yu Muhuai understood what he meant.

If they weren't stopped, Ah Long might actually open the door in a moment. Although the two of them were there to ensure the door wouldn't open, they didn't want to make too much noise.

So the two of them went into the master bedroom.

Logi had no intention of actually using his hands; instead, he used his feet instead.

He lifted his foot forward and lightly kicked Ah Long in the buttocks without any mercy, causing Ah Long to roll several times on the ground and roll away from the door.

From entering the bedroom to kicking someone, Luo Ji's movements were very smooth and seamless.

It seems that offering help was not even on his radar.

I wonder if Ah Long will see the shoe prints on his body when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched, and he glanced at Luo Ji sideways.

Luo Ji's brow twitched slightly, and he asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?"

Yu Muhuai pursed his lips, shook his head, and made no comment.

The two then left the bedroom and closed the door behind them.

However, just as the bedroom door closed, the loud banging on the door abruptly stopped.

A deathly silence fell once again, both inside and outside the house.

Sometimes, silence is not a good thing.

Just as the two were on high alert, a figure suddenly appeared on the frosted glass that could be seen through the moonlight.

Upon seeing this figure, Yu Muhuai's eyes widened in surprise.

This deformed and distorted black shadow was exactly the same as the outline of the creature she encountered in her dream.

Yu Muhuai shivered, subconsciously looked up, and glanced around.

She breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no creatures on the roof or behind her.

However, the dark figure only stood outside the window for a moment, lingered for a short time, and then turned and left.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, everything around them became completely quiet.

It's unclear whether they knocked on other houses, but Yu Muhuai didn't hear any more knocking.

After waiting a while longer and confirming that the creatures outside had no intention of returning, Yu Muhuai and Luo Ji finally spoke.

"The dark shadow on the glass just now was the same as what I saw in my dream."

Hearing Yu Muhuai's words, Luo Ji nodded and said, "Me too."

After a brief exchange about the content of their dreams, the two discovered that although the unfolding of their dreams differed, the overall rhythm was the same.

They all encountered familiar people, thinking they were in a safe environment, when suddenly the other person transformed, the door opened, and they saw deformed creatures.

People with weak mental strength and weak willpower may be so frightened that they have a mental breakdown in the first layer of the dream.

Imagine this: someone you thought was close to you, someone you thought would help you escape a predicament, turns out to be the devil who set up the trap. Such a huge psychological gap would drive someone to despair.

Yu Muhuai expressed his guess: "Those creatures are definitely the key behind the secret of Zhukun Village, and may also be one of the reasons why this village is so strange."

Luo Ji lowered his eyes, deep in thought, before speaking after a while.
