It was still pedestrians and passersby, with various noisy sounds, and no more of the previous gloom and horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the four were covered in cold sweat, and for a while, they couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, Xu Rongyu screamed: \"What was that? What were those just now!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing didn't speak, and Ya Made and Xu Shilan both looked ugly. Then the Jiu Jiu on his shoulder suddenly flew up, circled, and flew towards the city gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing said: \"This is not a place to talk. Go, leave the city, let's leave the city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were at a loss at this time, so they naturally followed Su Xing's suggestion, and the three followed him quickly towards the outside of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until all four left the prefecture city, the ubiquitous sense of peeping and the cold horror disappeared. At this time, Jiu Jiu flew down from the sky and continued to stay on Su Xing's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before eating, Jiu Jiu also ate a lot of peanuts and the meat shreds Su Xing tore off. At this time, it showed its divinity and led the four out of the prefecture city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were slightly relieved at this time, and each looked at Jiu Jiu. Even Xu Rongyu made a sound of admiration and said: \"This bird is so divine, it actually knows that leaving the prefecture city will eliminate the weirdness. It seems that there must be a great demon or monster in Xuanhua Prefecture city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing reached out and gently touched Jiu Jiu's feathers and said: \"This bird comes from the Baseline Reality 0.7 world, so it is naturally different. But you are wrong. It's not that Xuanhua Prefecture city has a problem, but that all the people have a problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rongyu didn't understand, but Ya Made and Xu Shilan understood. Xu Shilan immediately said: \"Is it a Nightmare!? Can all life become its carrier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing shook his head and said: \"It's not clear yet, but we have reached a place with few passersby, and there is no such gloom as before. It is clear that it must have something to do with many people. Regardless of whether it is or not, from now on, we must avoid the crowd!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a horse team also passed by the four, from the official road to the prefecture city. And when this horse team approached, the four did feel the sense of gloomy peeping again, and as the horse team moved away, this feeling disappeared again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to this point, everyone no longer doubted, and hurriedly went in the direction away from the prefecture city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for at least two hours, everyone stopped outside a forest by the road. Looking at a post station not far away, Xu Rongyu asked: \"Master, are there really weird things in this world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing was speechless. The tone and content of this sentence were simply like some rich people in Hong Kong movies asking those Jianghu liars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing said seriously: \"The fact is that there are really those things, but they are just lurking on weekdays. Of course, it may also be our problem. We are ultimately different from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya Made and Xu Shilan were both thinking at this time. Ya Made said: \"What is the defense of these things? Can they resist missiles? What about plasma weapons? Super-magnetic weapons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing was speechless for a few seconds, and then said: \"No, where are you going to find these weapons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya Made said seriously: \"I know some simple weapon assembly skills, but I need steel, parts, and energy sources. If it really doesn't work, I can do it simply. I am also good at mechanisms, traps, and cold weapon modification. At the same time, I also have experience in positional warfare, defensive warfare, and weapon platform modification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing continued to be speechless, but he seriously considered it in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xu Shilan asked: \"Isn't it said that the first five days are a safe period? Why did we encounter a Nightmare so quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing answered: \"It's not a safe period, but it's difficult for Nightmares to perceive our specific location in the first five days. The Main Brain probably protects and interferes with our location to some extent, unless it's face-to-face... and we just happened to be face-to-face with a Nightmare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rongyu didn't say anything, but the other two were inexplicable. They asked: \"When were we face-to-face with a Nightmare?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing said with a gloomy face: \"Didn't those red-clothed women of the Red Lantern Society hold talisman paper and dance? At that time, I saw a human shadow looming, but it was quickly dispersed. At that time, I didn't take it seriously. Now that I think about it, that shadow is likely a Nightmare, at least one of the Nightmares, and we were discovered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya Made and Xu Shilan then remembered a detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, they didn't see the paper people. It was Su Xing who pulled them, and they only saw it after touching Su Xing. In other words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spiritual Sense Tier 2?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ya Made and Xu Shilan thought thoughtfully, and asked almost in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing nodded. His face was still gloomy and ugly. He said: \"And the predecessors once reminded me many times that... when we see them, they also see us. Now the Nightmare has clearly known us, so the attack will definitely come in the next few days. It's just that I don't know what level this Nightmare is, is it a Level 1 Nightmare or a Level 2 Nightmare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rongyu had been listening to the conversation of the three. He didn't understand many of the words, but Chinese is good at this point, he could understand the meaning by the tone, so he was generally confused. He immediately shivered and said: \"No, Master, I am just a hostage kidnapped by you. Although ten thousand taels of silver is a lot, my father has only one son. He has to pay this money if he wants to, and he has to pay if he doesn't. This kind of monster is not something my small body can resist. Master, just treat me as a fart and let me go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing laughed and said: \"You go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Xu Rongyu didn't dare to take a step. It wasn't that he was afraid that Su Xing would kill him with one palm, but that he was really afraid of the weird horror before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't say that people in this era are generally superstitious. Even in the 21st century where Su Xing was born and raised, if someone really saw monsters, they would definitely be scared to death. This is not a matter of being bold or not, but as long as humans are life, they will feel fear of these non-life things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rongyu had curiosity about these things, but usually he just listened to it for fun. He had killed many people and slept in piles of dead people, so he didn't feel that there would be any grievances to avenge. But at this time, he saw it with his own eyes and felt it himself, and he was immediately different. He actually knelt down with a thud, gave Su Xing three loud kowtows, and then said humbly: \"Master, please give me a real letter. If I leave at this time, will those things let me go, right? After all, this thing came for you, and I am a nameless person who is insignificant, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing looked at him with pity and said: \"I won't hide it from you. To be honest, I'm sorry, now you are also the target of that thing. How should I say... you don't think those things rely on eyes to see things, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rongyu was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn't understand science, he was the usual feudal superstition and ignorance of this era, but he wouldn't think that those divine strange things relied on eyes to see things. It must be some immortal magic, or the horror of monsters looking for living people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing continued: \"When we see them, it is indeed 'seeing', and it can also be perception. Then they also 'see' us. But in their field of vision, God knows what we are. Maybe it's food, or some images, color special marks, etc. And you stand with us, are you going to bet on whether it will distinguish you clearly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is another one, don't believe the sayings in those plays about monsters repaying kindness, or doing no evil in your life, and not being afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at midnight. That is teaching you to be a good person, but when you really encounter a ghost, will you still believe a ghost's ghost talk? Then I really admire you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Xu Rongyu knelt down and wanted to escape. He really remembered the sayings in these plays, but after hearing this, he remembered the word \"ghost talk\", and he was immediately stunned, his face changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Xu Shilan asked: \"What should we do next? We have to stay away from people and survive for five days, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing thought while saying: \"We have to stay away from people. Now we have to collect food. See the post station in the distance? Go and take as much food as possible. Buy it or rob it. Now we can't care about so much. Get as much food as possible, and then find a place with few people, and few people coming and going, but it can't be a wilderness without any shelter. We have to save physical strength and have certain defensive facilities...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing also had a headache when he said this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because such places are too rare. Places with buildings basically have people, even if it is an abandoned temple in the wilderness, there are many travelers staying there, merchants, beggars, it is impossible to have no people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Su Xing thought of something. He took out a conch from an ordinary cloth bag at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three looked at him inexplicably. Su Xing endured the shame and said: \"Magic conch, where should we go to find a place that has complete buildings, can shelter from wind and rain, can be used as a defensive stronghold, and has few people coming or going? Or is there any way to avoid contact with a large number of people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conch trembled, and the female voice mixed with the sound of waves came from the conch: \"Stay away from the living, approach the dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing almost crushed the conch. He was so angry that he laughed: \"Good, good, good, well said! Listening to your words is better than listening to your words! I know I have to stay away from the living, and you let me approach the dead, approach the dead... approach the dead!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of inspiration flashed in Su Xing's mind. He immediately looked at Xu Rongyu: \"What was the place you mentioned for the ransom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rongyu didn't understand for a while, he subconsciously said: \"Yizhuang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xing laughed and looked at the post station: \"Go, buy food, or rob food, and then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to Yizhuang to survive these five days!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 18 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1938,"2026-06-17T18:04:39.529Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","47469cc6908d721be0e78687f68bb0dbf5ebe1e80a00194db20c175f3c22d162","eternal-nightmare-of-the-long-night-chapter-18","eternal-nightmare-of-the-long-night-chapter-16",602,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-nightmare-night-cover.jpg"]
