from a dream

Ye Tongsheng turned his head, and a group of figures slowly appeared in his field of vision.The sun shines on them, but the oppression and coldness cannot be eliminated.They appeared without warning, advancing amidst the clatter of horseshoes and rattle of bells.

Ye Tongsheng moved back, waiting for the group of people to come.

The figure gradually became clear, it was a group of people in strange costumes.They wore white cloaks with red stripes, although they were white, they were covered with dust, and the hands holding the reins wore white gloves. There is also a sharp sword hanging in the room and a vague fragrance on his body.

Ye Tongsheng looked away suspiciously, this dress was the same as that of the person in the dream.

The leader reined in his horse not far from him, and looked at Ye Tongsheng through his lowered hood.The cold and probing eyes made Ye Tongsheng very uncomfortable.

Ye Tongsheng tightened the corners of his mouth and looked at him warily.

"Stranger?" The man spoke first, his voice was different from his eyes, and there was a warm feeling.The moment he opened his mouth, the cold breath on his body also disappeared.Ye Tongsheng felt that they were a group of people rather than some kind of human beings.

"En." Ye Tongsheng simply responded, "I...".

The man's horse suddenly barked and paced restlessly.Ye Tongsheng didn't continue to speak, the man glanced into the distance, comforted the horse and said to Ye Tongsheng: "The Aode City is ahead, hurry up and enter the city, it's too dangerous here, you shouldn't stay here."

"Then why..."

The man didn't wait for Ye Tongsheng to finish, and threw him a cloak and food, "Go straight along this road, and you will reach the city of Odd. After entering the city, don't go to the lower city, that place is not a stranger You can go. If there is no business, I will be happy to give you a ride. Good luck, stranger."

Ye Tongsheng hugged the cloak and food tightly, and said sincerely: "Thank you." Seeing that he was about to leave, he hurriedly asked: "May I know your name?"

"Kevin. We will meet again, stranger." Kevin led a group of people galloping, dust flying.Ye Tongsheng covered his mouth and nose. Although the dust obstructed his vision, Ye Tongsheng could still clearly feel the probing eyes of those people. Ye Tongsheng backed away a little, maybe they just hadn't seen an Oriental.

Kevin and the others quickly left and disappeared instantly.

"Stranger." Ye Tongsheng murmured the word, which had a sense of formality when Kevin pronounced it, as if the word had some special meaning.

Hasn't anyone been to this town for a long time?

Ye Tongsheng unfolded his cloak. The clothes were similar to Kevin's, white with gold patterns, and even had a vague fragrance.He flipped the cloak over again, and suddenly found a special mark on the chest of the cloak, like a mark of some kind of family or group.He opened the food paper again, it was black bread and dried meat.Holding these things, he said thank you again like Kevin from afar.

Ye Tongsheng put on his cloak and hood to hide his features as a foreigner, and headed to Odd Town with food in his arms.When passing through a fork, a sharp roar came from the fork.Ye Tongsheng looked over there, the trail led to the woods in a winding way, and there were houses hidden behind the woods.Ye Tongsheng moved his foot away, the mud on the ground was covered with horseshoe prints.

Ye Tongsheng looked back, this world is not the world he has lived in for more than 20 years.Ye Tongsheng turned around and set foot on the road that should be taken. There are not only monsters in this world, but also demon slayers. I just need to take care of myself in this world.

Ye Tongsheng pulled his hood and lowered his head.

Ye Tongsheng didn't know how long he had been walking, his legs began to get tired, maybe a few hours.Ye Tongsheng glanced at the sun that was about to set in the west, the night in this world must not be safe.

Ye Tongsheng quickened his pace, this road seemed to be endless, and it continued continuously.Ye Tongsheng climbed up the gentle slope and finally saw a city, his fatigue disappeared instantly.

The city looks small and dilapidated, standing alone between the sky and the earth.Such a city is completely different from what Ye Tongsheng imagined.

Ye Tongsheng walked down slowly, heading for the city.Ye Tongsheng came to the gate of the city, the gate was made of wood, and the wood was a bit rotten.

Ye Tongsheng stretched out his hand hesitantly, and with a light touch, the city gate slowly opened, and the noise inside poured out instantly.Ye Tongsheng walked in, but the people inside didn't seem to see him, they were busy with their own business.

After Ye Tongsheng walked in, the door closed automatically, Ye Tongsheng looked back, and then turned his head again.Pull the hood, hold the food, and blend in with the crowd.

There are people coming and going on the road, and carriages shuttle inside.The ladies wore long skirts to outline their slender waists, while the gentlemen wore hats, leaned on crutches, and held the ladies' hands.It's all like Europe in the [-]th century, except for the intricate layout of the houses.

Ye Tongsheng looked at the city from the outside, it was a flat city, but when he entered, he found that the roads here were extremely uneven, as if it was built against a mountain, with many stairs and complicated layout.

A strange city.

Ye Tongsheng walked along the road, he was looking for a hotel or even a job.Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd, Ye Tongsheng stopped, and saw a child in shabby clothes squeeze out from the crowd, rushing to the stairs quickly, turning left and right and disappearing in an instant.

"Dirty downtown rats! My jeweled ring!"

"Why didn't the Lower City be completely quarantined? They've defiled the city of Ord!"

Everyone vented their dissatisfaction, and the belated policeman comforted them.

Downtown area?Ye Tongsheng turned around, intending to leave but suddenly looked at the dark place around the corner, there was no one there.Ye Tongsheng looked away and continued to look for the hotel.

Is it an illusion?

Ye Tongsheng didn't have any money from this place, and he didn't know what else to do besides looking for a hotel.

Maybe I should look for a church.

Ye Tongsheng looked at the tall and pointed building, that building was so eye-catching and special.

A bell suddenly rang in Aode City, and Ye Tongsheng looked around nervously.The bell echoed through the city like a signal.

The night has come.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few are in a hurry.The clear brilliance of the moon sprinkled on the city of Ord, and the whole city was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Affected by the atmosphere, Ye Tongsheng also hurried to the pointed building.He couldn't forget the dark-haired woman and the dog-like figure in the dream.

The night of this world must not belong to humans.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the sound of Ye Tongsheng's own footsteps was left in the whole town.Ye Tongsheng stopped and looked back nervously, but there was no one.Seeing that there were lights in the house beside him, he quietly walked up to the door and knocked on the door, and the lights disappeared in an instant.The whole city is lit only by moonlight.

Ye Tongsheng withdrew his hand and lowered his hood. The hood covered his expression, but his tight lips revealed his heart.

Alone in a strange city, Ye Tongsheng suddenly didn't want to run away, it didn't matter whether he went to church or not.

"Hello!" A small voice came from the dark, so clear in this silent city.Ye Tongsheng thought he was hallucinating, and when a stone was thrown on him, Ye Tongsheng was sure it was real.Ye Tongsheng picked up the pebbles and walked towards that place.

The alley was deep and silent. Ye Tongsheng walked for a long time without seeing anyone. He stopped and held the stone tightly in his hand.He didn't want to guess anything, but there was a force that drove him to guess too much.There was a sound in the air, as if something was flying by.

Ye Tongsheng didn't want to leave anymore, he wanted to see the difference in this world.Suddenly a cold little hand grabbed him, and Ye Tongsheng was led away by him before he could see the man's appearance clearly.That person has great strength. Although his hands are like a child's, his strength is not like that.

That person walked very quickly, as if trying to get rid of something, Ye Tongsheng clearly heard a strange voice behind him, is it a monster from this world?

The voice disappeared, but the man walked even faster, and Ye Tongsheng could hardly keep up with him.After turning a few corners, the man finally stopped.

Ye Tongsheng squatted down with him, the place was too dark, although Ye Tongsheng knew that the man was beside him, but he couldn't see his face.

Ye Tongsheng squatted there, surrounded by silence and darkness, but he liked it here.

"They're gone," said a thin voice.

"Thank you."

There was silence all around.The moon gradually rises, illuminating the area.Ye Tongsheng clearly saw the man squatting in front of him.

She is a little girl with black hair. The most peculiar thing is her upright braids, her teeth and claws, and her dark and big but lifeless eyes, she has a weird and cute feeling.

She tilted her head and looked at Ye Tongsheng, her dull eyes were wide open, Ye Tongsheng really wanted to rub her head.

"why?"

Ye Tongsheng looked at her suspiciously.

"Why is such a sad soul still warm?" Her eyes saw through Ye Tongsheng's soul, "It's very strange, I like this kind of soul. Can I eat your soul? At my coming-of-age ceremony."

Ye Tongsheng looked her in the eyes and said, "Yes." The little girl blinked and said, "Why aren't you afraid?"

"I don't know either." Ye Tongsheng really didn't know why he wasn't afraid, maybe it was because of the little girl in front of him.

"My name is Mona, witch Mona."

"Cough, my name is Ye Tongsheng, human Ye Tongsheng, please give me your advice."

Mona waved her hand towards the darkness, and a green thing appeared in the light.It was a human-like creature, similar to the one seen in the dream, with green skin, bat-like wings, and dog-like habits, but this one had black eyes like bull's eyes.He squatted obediently beside Mona, staring straight at Ye Tongsheng with big eyes.

The creature was ugly, but his big eyes were wet.

Mona pointed to the creature and said, "He's called Martin, you can call him Little Toe."

"Hello, Little Toe."

The little toe screamed a few times, and picked out a green transparent mollusc from the back and handed it to Ye Tongsheng. Ye Tongsheng took it and looked at the little toe suspiciously.Little Toe opened his mouth and looked at him eagerly.

Ye Tongsheng looked at the worm and then at the little toe, is this a courtesy?Mona grabbed the worm and stuffed it into Little Toe's mouth and said, "No creature wants to eat such a disgusting thing, except you."

The little toe swallowed the thing dumbly, and the wet eyes were full of sadness.

"The hunting night will be over for a while, let's go." Mona walked towards the dark place, seeing Ye Tongsheng puzzled and explained, "The hunting night will most arouse the despair of human beings, they like that kind of desperate soul , but I don't like it. Your soul is mine now, and you must remain so until I eat it."

"Yes. Are we friends now?"

Mona put her arms around her arms and said, "You are my servant, not my friend." Seeing little toes pointing at himself excitedly, she said viciously, "You are a pet." Little toes wilted Following behind Mona listlessly, a sad atmosphere surrounded him.

Ye Tongsheng smiled, suddenly there were hurried footsteps behind him.Mona fled into the darkness in an instant, and her little toe disappeared.Seeing that Ye Tongsheng didn't move, Meng Na looked at him anxiously.Just as Ye Tongsheng was about to walk into the dark, something fell not far from him, it was the body of a black-haired woman.

Ye Tongsheng stopped abruptly, pushed Mona away, and stood in front of her.The sound of footsteps slowly approaching, Ye Tongsheng saw the familiar white cloak with red stripes and dazzling blond hair.
