Chapter 44 Pre-emptive Strike, Papermaker
The first floor of the Rest Inn.
When the landlady saw Su Ming coming down from upstairs, she felt as if she had seen a ghost.
His face was full of surprise: "Didn't you sleep in that room last night?"
"Or did you leave that room before falling asleep?"
Su Ming replied: "I have solved the nightmare, and no one will die again at night."
The look on the landlady’s face was even more astonishing: “Did you really do it??”
The bald boss also heard the noise and ran out from behind.
He was in disbelief: "Really?"
Many people have entered the dreamland before and died there, including many experts from the Light Church.
The young man in front of me actually said that he had done it, and he still seemed unscathed.
This sudden surprise made the bald boss worried.
He looked outside the hotel, as if he was worried something was coming.
Waved to Su Ming: "Come in, let's chat."
Su Ming left the good guy and the rich guy behind.
Follow the bald boss to the back room.
The bald boss couldn't wait to ask: "Did you really enter that nightmare last night and come out alive?"
Su Ming nodded: "Of course, last night... I killed Nightmare. That's the situation."
He roughly recounted what he had experienced in his dream last night.
After hearing this, the bald boss nodded repeatedly: "It's really wonderful to use stuff from a white shop to deal with nightmares."
His face was filled with anticipation: "Finally someone has done it! It seems that this is the closest we have come to clearing the town of anomalies."
"I hope everything can return to normal and let our town become completely normal..."
The way he looked at Su Ming was completely different, full of admiration and recognition.
Bald boss: "Is there anything we can do?"
“This is about restoring peace to our town, and it’s up to us, the townspeople, to help.”
Su Ming: "You should also know that in addition to monsters, there are also some cultists hiding in this town, right?"
Bald boss: "Cultists? After all this time, they are still in the town?"
"They haven't been seen for a long time. We thought they had left the town long ago."
"We haven't noticed the rumors about cultists for a long time."
Su Ming: "That's because no one has been able to break the dream before and it didn't pose a threat to them."
"If I guess correctly, they are already anxious and are going to start trouble."
"I hope you can cooperate with me and clean up the cultists in the town first."
Bald boss: "How do we need to cooperate?"
Su Ming: "It's very simple. When the Public Security Bureau investigates, you just need to testify for me and say that I have been in the hotel."
He doesn't need to hide it all the time, as long as it doesn't explode in a short period of time.
"I went out to take a preemptive strike and physically eliminate the cultists."
Cultists can also enter dreams.
He didn't want a group of cultists to trouble him when he was cleaning up the source of strangeness in his dream tonight.
The bald boss was shocked: "Are you going to kill someone?"
Su Ming: "Don't say it so explicitly, it's to clean up the cultists."
The bald boss still felt that this operation was a bit sudden: "Do you know who are the cultists?"
"If you know, why don't you report it to the Public Security Bureau and let them take action? Those cultists are really too dangerous."
Reporting is useful only when there are ghosts.
The security bureau in this town is just a decoration, with only two or three big cats and kittens.
All they can do is collect the bodies.
It is simply too much to expect them to clean up the cultists.
The reason why I asked the hotel owner to make a certificate for me was to save myself from trouble. ……
……
Zhao Ji Baishi Shop.
Originally, at this time, the white shop was already open.
But today, there was no movement here.
The old man in gray shirt is sitting at the long table, painting the face of a paper man.
On the other side of the long table, there were a few ordinary-looking townspeople sitting.
Among them was an old woman with completely white eyes, who looked like she had a problem with her eyes.
The shop owner, the old man in gray shirt, was being questioned: "Papermaker, do you know that these crappy things of yours have ruined a big thing?"
"The new life seeker relied on these gadgets of yours to kill Nightmare."
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
"The bishop asked me to tell you that he is very angry. The trouble you have caused must be solved by yourself."
"You have to kill the man who claimed his life as soon as possible. The town doesn't need this kind of instability."
The old man in gray shirt said calmly: "I thought that kid was looking for death. How did I know that this would happen."
"I know the strength of those three paper men. They can never be the opponent of Nightmare. In other words, even without my paper men, he can kill Nightmare."
The blind wife asked: "Are you trying to excuse yourself and shirk responsibility? Or are you questioning the bishop's decision?"
The old man in gray shirt looked at the people with pity on his face: "Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several paper figures stood up.
They moved quickly and directly controlled all the people across the long table and forced them to wear paper clothes.
The faces of several people changed drastically and they asked: "Papermaker, what are you doing??"
"Are you going to betray the bishop?"
"We are the bishop's people, how dare you attack us, the bishop will never let you go!!"
"Stop! Stop! If we die here, the Public Security Bureau will also cause trouble for you."
"I was wrong, Grandpa Papermaker, let me go, spare me this time, I will never dare to do it again!"
"Ahhhhh - you have to die a good death!!"
"Uh-huh-huh--"
……
In wailing and cursing.
The paper clothes on several people quickly tightened, turning them all into paper figures.
The old man in gray shirt shook his head: "After staying in the town for a long time, my mind has become unclear."
"Even the bishop doesn't dare to talk to me like this, so who do you think you are?"
After killing a few cultists, he stopped focusing on them.
Instead, he paced back and forth in the white clothes shop, looking at the paper figures and paper clothes inside, as if he was patrolling an army of his own.
"If I had known that that boy was so troublesome, when he came to the shop yesterday, I should have just let the paper man kill him."
This is his home court. If he were in another place, he wouldn't be able to get rid of several other cultists so easily.
Try to trick him into coming here?
"He shouldn't be fooled easily. This kid knows a lot and is very shrewd."
"It's better to wait until night. It's safest to deal with him in a dream."
"It's just a little trouble. A mere person seeking death can't change the world."
"The powerful Church of Light back then was destroyed by us. Now we are just a life-seeking person. What can we do?"
Although he said so, he was still quite afraid of Su Ming's strength.
For the sake of caution, the old man in gray shirt did not plan to leave the white cloth shop all day today.
He didn't want to die in unknown circumstances like the few cultists he had just killed.
He planned to stay until night and get rid of that boy.
Thanks to Sakura A for the 100-point reward!
Thank you, boss! Thank you very much!
