Chapter 701 The Evil Ghost in the Mountain

When Mu You regained consciousness, he appeared in a mountain forest.

It seemed to be late at night. The sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds. There was no starlight in the dark sky. Only a lonely crescent moon shone through the clouds, casting a little pitiful moonlight, so that the forest was not pitch dark.

In the direction of the mountain, a village could be vaguely seen, and scattered buildings could be seen, but it was deadly silent. There was no light in the huge village, as if it was just an abandoned village.

"Emm..."

Mu You looked at the surrounding environment and was a little confused.

He knew that this was someone's dream, and anything could happen in the dream, but he thought that at least he appeared in the daytime, and it didn't matter if there were many people or few people, but at least there had to be living people.

As a result, what greeted him was midnight, a mountain village, an abandoned village... This was too hellish.

Mu You once suspected that this was not a horror movie dream?

There was no one around, and staying was not a solution. Mu You was just about to go down the mountain to explore the deserted village.

A faint cry suddenly came from another direction.

The sound was intermittent, mixed with the sound of the wind, and sounded like it came from deep in the forest. If Mu You did not have the talent of "listening to the wind", he would probably ignore it.

Mu You immediately turned around and looked for the source of the cry.

According to the routine of horror movies, most of the people he encountered were ghosts, but even if they were ghosts, he could at least catch some information, which was better than him groping around alone in the mountains.

Mu You quickly shuttled through the jungle and soon approached the source of the cry. At this point, it was clear that the cry was a female voice, and she was not very old.

Continue walking forward for a while, and sure enough, under a big tree in the darkness ahead, a little girl with a schoolbag on her back, wearing a simple floral dress, hugged her knees and sat under the tree, her thin body huddled up, her eyes red and swollen, tears falling from time to time, sobbing softly.

When Mu You approached, he did not deliberately suppress the sound. The little girl seemed to hear the sound of Mu You's feet stepping on the dead branches. Her ears trembled sensitively, and she looked up blankly. As a result, she saw a black shadow standing in the darkness in front of her. She was immediately startled, hurriedly climbed up, hid behind the big tree, and covered her mouth tightly, not daring to make any more sounds.

Mu You was stunned when he saw the little girl. He had never seen this little girl before, but this familiar double ponytail, and the mole at the corner of the eyebrow, this could not be...

Mu You's face became strange, and he slowly approached and went around the tree.

At this moment, the little girl was squatting on the ground, holding her schoolbag tightly with both hands, looking at Mu You with fearful eyes, like a timid little rabbit, and her thin figure looked particularly helpless in the dim moonlight.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost."

Mu You did not approach directly, but stopped at a safe distance, trying to speak in a gentle voice.

After that, the little girl did not respond, and still looked at him fearfully under the tree.

Mu You thought about it and had to snap his fingers.

A ball of light condensed at his fingertips, and the magic of illumination emitted a soft white light, instantly illuminating the surrounding space.

"Ah..." The little girl screamed in shock at the sudden change, but soon realized that the ball of light did not explode, but provided her with warmth and light.

The girl stared at the ball of light in Mu You's hand in amazement, rubbed her eyes, and thought she had seen it wrong.

After a while, she looked back at Mu You blankly: "Big brother, are you a fairy?"

"If it's easier for you to understand."

Mu You didn't bother to explain magic or anything. Anyway, he was about to become a god, so it was no problem to say that he was a fairy.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Taking advantage of the little girl's reduced vigilance, Mu You hurriedly asked.

"My name is Shen Ya..." The little girl was still immersed in the wonder of magic, and said her name without much hesitation.

"..."

Mu You's mouth curled up. It was indeed Xiaoya. At the same time, he was relieved. Vivian said that there was a high probability that he would enter the dream of someone he knew. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to run into Xiaoya's dream directly.

He was too familiar with Xiaoya, and he would not resist helping Xiaoya fulfill her wish.

"Xiaoya, why are you here alone? What happened?" Mu You approached some girls.

Judging from the state of the little girl, she was only about seven or eight years old. It should be Xiaoya's dream when she was a child.

"It's too dark... I don't dare to go home..." The little girl said aggrievedly, and tears rolled in her eyes again.

"Are you afraid of the dark..."

Mu You looked at her state and had roughly guessed the cause and effect.

Xiaoya was born in a rural village in a mountain valley. It was not easy to go to school in the village. She had to walk a long mountain road back and forth.

She was obviously late for school. It was dark on the way home. Xiaoya was afraid of the dark and didn't dare to walk at night. As a result, she dragged it on and on, and finally got trapped on the mountain.

"Gu..."

Mu You was about to say something when a discordant sound was heard. It was the little girl's stomach growling.

The girl's face immediately turned red. She covered her belly tightly, fearing that it would make another sound. At the same time, she lowered her head and dared not look at Mu You.

Looking at the embarrassed look of the young Xiaoya, Mu You's heart softened. He concentrated his mind and materialized some small snacks such as chocolate bread in his hand and stuffed them into the girl: "Eat some to fill your stomach."

The girl hesitated for a moment, timidly reached out her hand, picked up a piece of chocolate, and at first only took a small bite of it.

Soon, she lowered her head and bit hard, stuffing her cheeks full. She swallowed with a gurgling sound in her throat, and still spoke incoherently: "This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten..."

Mu You smiled. These things that appeared actually had no taste at all, but there were no such things in the dream, and everything was delicious.

Xiao Ya ate voraciously, and Mu You was not in a hurry. He sat down beside her and watched her actions with a smile. He had few opportunities to contact Xiao Ya when she was a child. Perhaps this was the only chance in his life. He was willing to stay with her here for a while, even if it was just a dream, and she would soon forget it when she woke up...

Mu You just quietly accompanied the little girl, watching her eat more than ten bags of snacks with his own eyes, and after drinking a bottle of water, she was finally full and full. She covered her bulging belly and looked at Mu You a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, big brother, I ate all your food..."

"Don't mind, it was originally for you." Mu You smiled, got up, and looked outside the forest.

"Xiao Ya, where is your home? I'll take you back."

After eating Mu You's food and being with him for so long, the little girl now completely believed in Mu You.

However, she hesitated when she heard Mu You's question, and then, under Mu You's inquiring eyes, she had to weakly stretch out her hand and point in a direction.

"It's really the village at the foot of the mountain..."

Mu You's face was strange for a moment. No one turned on the lights in the middle of the night. It looked like a deserted village... But then he thought that this was a dream, and he was relieved. There were so many illogical things in dreams.

"Let's go, I'll take you back." From the current situation, Xiao Ya's wish is obviously to go home. As long as she is sent back home safely, this dream should be over.

The little girl panicked when she heard it, looked around nervously, and hesitated: "But... there are ghosts..."

"Don't be afraid, you forgot that your brother is a god, and gods can kill ghosts." Mu You comforted her, waved at her, kept the lighting technique in his hand, and walked forward.

The little girl still had hesitation in her eyes, but when she saw Mu You walking away and looked back at the dark forest around her, she had to quickly catch up with him.

Mu You led the way in front, and the little girl followed behind him, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with her little hand, not leaving his side.

A human-shaped ghost suddenly rushed out of the forest, with a bloody mouth and pounced on the two of them.

"Ah!" The little girl screamed and subconsciously closed her eyes.

As a result, the imagined attack did not come. When she was surprised and opened her eyes again, she just saw the ghost falling to the ground with fire all over his body, turning into ashes and scattered with the wind.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and put away the magic wand in his hand.

This monster in the dream seemed to be much weaker than he imagined. He was originally going to use the divine power, but found that it was not necessary at all. He threw an ordinary fireball and killed this "ghost" instantly.

Then the two continued to move forward, and all kinds of strange ghosts began to emerge along the way.

Mu You killed them all one by one with long-range magic, and none of them could get close to them.

These ghosts and monsters were actually born with the emotional fluctuations in the little girl's dream, and there was no logic at all.

The mechanism in the dream was like this. She was not afraid because of the appearance of ghosts, but because the surrounding environment made her feel that she should be afraid, so the dream would "refresh" the things she thought were scary to make the dream look "reasonable".

Therefore, before Mu You took her to a safe enough place, ghosts and monsters would continue to appear around.

Mu You's magic wand never stopped, turning into a magic turret, and colorful magic kept blasting out of his hand.

This time the little girl finally had the opportunity to see the process of his attack, and was shocked for a while.

"So awesome..."

"You can even kill ghosts, big brother, you are really a god..."

...

The little girl's praises continued to come, and Mu You smiled, thinking that the girl's dream was much simpler than he imagined, probably because she had not yet been exposed to the Internet at that time, and the most terrifying thing she could think of was the ghosts she saw on TV.

Mu You dealt with the monsters seriously all the way, and the little girl had walked to his side without knowing when, from pulling his clothes to holding his hand, and her state was no longer as scared as before, and she even picked up some stones to help him smash the ghosts rushing around.

Mu You smiled knowingly at the little girl's nervous look, but suddenly remembered something.

By the way, he seemed to have had a similar dream once.

It was a dream he had when he was very young. In the dream, many monsters were chasing him, and he could only run desperately. Just when he was desperate, a big sister appeared in the dream, just like him now, and began to run with him, killing all the monsters along the way like cutting melons and vegetables.

Generally speaking, most of the dreams in childhood have long been forgotten, but there are a few that will leave some memories in the brain due to some special scenes or characters, and sometimes such memories will even be remembered longer than real experiences.

For example, this dream.

At that time, because Mu You was too young and his height was not even as tall as the big sister's waist, the specific content of the dream, the identity and appearance of the other party, etc., have long been blurred. He only remembers the pair of long legs in black silk that he saw when he followed behind.

At that time, when black silk was not popular, those legs brought great shock to his young heart...

"Big brother... Big brother?" The girl's call came, awakening Mu You from his contemplation.

Looking down, the little girl was looking at him pitifully, holding his hands tightly with both hands, and she returned to her trembling state.

Mu You looked up and found that because he was distracted for a moment, the ghosts and monsters around him actually surrounded him, and many of them were within three meters of them.

Mu You waved the magic wand in his hand lightly, and a circle of shock waves radiated from him as the center. The ghosts and monsters around him suddenly fell to the ground in a mess, and they all dissipated in wailing.

"Sorry, I was distracted." Mu You looked at the girl apologetically.

The girl shook her head and admired: "Big brother, you are so amazing! I wish I could be as amazing as you..."

"You will be able to do it in the future..."

Mu You smiled knowingly, and did not explain much, thinking about the itinerary in his mind.

"Take her home, it should be over..."

Vivian told them the conditions for passing the level, not only to fulfill the dream owner's wish, but also to turn the nightmare into a beautiful dream.

However, in many cases, these two conditions are equivalent.

"Huh?"

Mu You looked at a ghost in front of him that was hit by his fireball but did not die immediately, frowned, and realized something was wrong.

It has been a while since he set out with the girl. Unknowingly, the two have walked to the foot of the mountain, not much distance away from the village.

And he showed great strength along the way. From the girl's state, it can be seen that her sense of security is gradually returning.

In theory, the ghosts and monsters around should be less and less at this time.

But in fact, as they gradually approached the village at the foot of the mountain, the number of ghosts and monsters along the way increased visibly, and even the strength of the ghosts and monsters began to increase significantly.

"Roar!"

The humanoid zombie with flames all over his body stood up and pounced again, and was taken away by Mu You with a fireball.

Mu You drove away the ghosts around him, subconsciously glanced at the girl beside him, thinking.

The little girl's wish is really to go home?

This is not because he is suspicious, but because this is a dream. The dream world is very sensitive. Every small detail change may reflect the psychological changes of the dream owner.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

The little girl found that Mu You suddenly stopped and looked up strangely.

"Xiao Ya, can you show me your schoolbag?" Mu You suddenly said.

"Ah..." The little girl's face flashed with obvious panic when she heard it, and she subconsciously hugged the schoolbag tightly, looking very reluctant.

But under Mu You's insistent eyes, Xiao Ya had to carefully hand over the bag with a look of tears.

Mu You opened the backpack and took a look.

As expected, there were no books in the bag, but only clothes and a pair of shoes.

She was not trapped in the mountains because she was going home from school, but she got lost when she ran away from home...
