Chapter 803: I Sell Myself

~7 min read 1,392 words

"Then you... you're actually quite good..."

Facing Li Ang, who not only successfully escaped the nightmare by "three" against "one" but even brought the Snow Woman along, the Scorpio Director, after dryly praising him, seemed to feel that he was a bit shameful for being trapped by the nightmare. Then, his dog eyes flickered as he explained:

"Hm... I'm actually almost there too, it's just a pity that these six nightmares won't confront me head-on.

Their mission is probably to hold me back, so they've been running around in the six-layer dreamscape. Occasionally, after catching one and killing it, the other five nightmares will join forces to revive it...

In short, you wait outside for a while. It's a bit strenuous for me to travel through nightmares, and I'm not as fast as these nightmares. Let me think of a way to block them together first."

So, your problem is that you can beat them, but you can't catch up with those nightmares, right?

After hearing what came out of the Scorpio Director's dog mouth, Li Ang pondered slightly, then turned his head to look at the Snow Woman behind him.

Although the current Snow Woman is a battle-damaged version, not only losing the core ability to cover up memories, but even the ability to summon wind and snow has been weakened, she is still a Nightmare Messenger endowed with authority by the Nightmare King, possessing the ability to move freely in nightmares.

So, if she can open a passage...

"Give up!"

Seeing through Li Ang's plan at a glance, the Snow Woman lying on the ground raised her slender neck, her pair of cold, beautiful eyes glaring hatefully at Li Ang:

"Abominable human! Don't forget what you've done to me! I will absolutely not help you!"

"..."

Ah this... to be reasonable, I didn't do anything excessive, did I? You were the one who came to trouble me first. How did it turn out like I forcibly snatched a woman?

Facing the Snow Woman behind him who was full of deep hatred, and the Scorpio Director in front of him with an increasingly strange gaze, Li Ang, feeling that his reputation had been damaged, couldn't help but argue:

"No... it wasn't me who destroyed your nightmare core. Aside from dragging you out of the dream, I didn't do anything else, did I?"

"It's already like this, what else do you want to do to me?"

Recalling the painful experience of being dragged out of the dreamscape while crying, and her nightmare, which had been completely polluted by strange little tunes and was no different from being scrapped, the Snow Woman, who had suffered great misfortune, couldn't help but feel sorrow from her heart.

Although nightmares are the masters of nightmares, they are not like humans who can have new dreams every night. Most nightmares manifested by nightmares have one and only one dreamscape, which is the dreamscape where they were born. Born here, grew here, and will die here in the future.

For a nightmare, the importance of this companion dreamscape is comparable to a harbor for a ship, a hometown for a wanderer, and has an incomparable special significance. The connection between the two is even tighter than the connection between plant roots and the earth.

Being forcibly dragged out of the companion nightmare by someone is simply no different from being woken up from a dream, forcibly stripped of all clothes, and thrown naked onto the street.

And this damn human, aside from dragging her out of the nightmare, also completely polluted her companion nightmare, which is equivalent to not only stripping her naked and throwing her onto the street, but also excitedly picking up a pen and drawing a row of wiggling little turtles on her! It can be called the ultimate humiliation to a nightmare!

"In short, give up!"

Looking at the abominable human who personally destroyed everything she had and indirectly led to her being "expelled from the nightmare rank," the Snow Woman, with red eyes, stiffened her neck and swore angrily:

"Even if I am sun-dried to death tomorrow morning, or even if I am killed right now, I will absolutely not help you!"

"..."

Fine...

Looking at the Snow Woman's gaze that wished she could swallow him alive, Li Ang gave up the idea of turning her around. Instead, he reached out and tapped his cufflinks, taking out a black snake-skin scroll, a scroll with ferocious patterns of demon skin, and a sharp small knife.

Ding, Li Ang Laien used 【Unfair Snake Contract】 to actively initiate a transaction.

Transaction item: 【Demon Directory】 Transaction target: The Snow Woman in front of him.

Transaction content: Herself.

"Hm..."

After cutting a wound on his arm with the small knife, Li Ang endured the pain and brought the wound close to the 【Unfair Snake Contract】. A large amount of dark red blood was instantly forcibly extracted and quickly seeped into the snake-skin scroll.

He... what is he going to do?

Sensing that the situation didn't seem quite right, the Snow Woman on the ground looked surprised. She just wanted to open her mouth to ask, but felt a sudden weight on her chest. The demon skin scroll that Li Ang had taken out earlier had appeared on it at some point.

"???"

Sensing that she had strangely lost "ownership" of herself, and through the snake-skin scroll that was glowing with an eerie red light after swallowing a large amount of blood, she vaguely connected to Li Ang. The Snow Woman was suddenly shocked.

"You! What did you do to me?"

"Nothing much."

Taking out the 【Plague-Infected Blood Band】 and wrapping it around his arm to heal the wound he had cut himself, Li Ang, whose face was still a bit pale, cut the mountaineering rope tying the sleeping bag with the small knife, then ordered:

"Get up, time to work."

"??!"

As Li Ang's words fell, the Snow Woman discovered in horror that no matter how much her heart resisted, her body still honestly gave a reaction, drilling out of the sleeping bag neatly.

And according to the requirements put forward by Li Ang, she quietly accessed the nightmare world jointly manifested by the other six nightmares and began to look for the location of the trapped Scorpio Director.

No! No! No!!!!!

Hell, there's actually this kind of anomalous object?

Watching the Snow Woman, whose face was clearly full of resistance but could only follow Li Ang's requirements and begin to look for himself in the nightmare world, the Scorpio Director couldn't help but open his dog mouth wide in shock.

Even though the Snow Woman in front of him seemed to be seriously injured and had left the nightmare world she manifested, she was even weaker than an ordinary person, but her own "status" and "weight" had not changed. She was still at the level of a Level 1 Cleanup Officer.

And Li Ang, as a Level 3 Cleanup Officer, only consumed some blood to forcibly suppress the Snow Woman's will, controlling the Snow Woman whose level was far higher than his across levels... Is this snake-skin scroll a bit too "excessive"?

After staring at the snake-skin scroll in Li Ang's hand for a while, the Scorpio Director still couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart. While the Snow Woman was opening the nightmare world, he asked his question.

After listening to his question, Li Ang shook his head, his expression answering with slight complexity:

"Actually, it's not that super-model... Hm... I mean, the effect of this thing is very limited. It's not as outrageous as you think, and it's even quite fair.

Strictly speaking, Dream Realm creatures have no soul, they are just aggregates of memory and fantasy. In our human definition, they are closer to 'objects' than 'people', so they can be directly exchanged.

As for why I can control her across levels... because the things I used to complete the 'transaction' were not just blood, but also the demon skin scroll that appeared on her chest.

That thing is called 【Demon Directory】, an anomalous object with a Li Ang value as high as 42 points. In terms of value, it is even higher than the Snow Woman herself. The price I paid is actually not small."
