"Jiang Xuan?" Chen Ge silently wrote down the name. It was consistent with the last name on the half-paper work card he saw before, but the words on the letter...
He did not say clearly that if this person is really what he thought, then he is probably the master of a city. Facing such a "person", let alone him, even if the evil god comes, he will not be his opponent.
Moreover, the other party dared to bring four of them strangers to his home. He was obviously confident. Who knows what trump card the other party had.
"By the way, what you just said..." Chen Ge has always been wary of this "Jiang Xuan", but there are some things that only "aboriginals" can know. He must understand some of them before judging whether they are true or false.
"Haha, it's normal for you outsiders not to know." Jiang Xuan always called them outsiders, but looking at him, it was obvious that he didn't know where the outsiders came from.
"This city actually has many taboos. What I just told you is one of them." Jiang Xuan poured himself a glass of water and looked at the city outside the window while drinking. "When night falls, this city
All the weird stories in the city will come true."
"So, never go out in the dark, otherwise you will encounter horrors you have never seen before."
"Moreover, in addition to this, there are many taboos in the city. If you violate them, you will not be safe even if you hide at home."
"For example, you cannot pick up things that fall on the ground. No matter what sound you hear at night, you cannot open the door. No matter what you see, you must pretend not to see it..."
"What if we have to walk in the city in the dark?" Chen Ge asked. He thought about his mission, which was to enter the unlit road before 4:44 in the morning. This was obviously aimed at him.
Jiang Xuan was also startled. He looked at Chen Ge and couldn't help but sigh: "Then you are a madman. Anyone who dares to enter the city in the dark, as far as I know, no one is alive."
"Has anyone ever done this before?" Chen Ge asked again.
"Some people have done it, but without exception they all died." Jiang Xuan emphasized again, "No one can survive in the city under the dark night."
Chen Ge fell silent, and even the trio cleaning the room slowed down. They did not expect that the dark night in this city was so dangerous.
"Then... do you know where there is an unlit road in the city?" Chen Ge finally asked another question. This was the only way for him to enter a deep dream.
Jiang Xuan seemed to have heard something incredible. He looked at Chen Ge and calmed down after a long time: "You actually know that place. Do you also know that legend?"
"Legend?" The more he asked in detail, the more unexplainable this mission became. Just like now, he was actually talking to a person in a dream, and even used the other person's words as a guiding light in the dream.
"It seems you don't know." Jiang Xuandao, "Lightless Road is one of the biggest ghost stories in the city. It is said that it is the exit of the city, and there are also legends that it is the entrance to fall into deeper darkness."
As he spoke, he pointed in a certain direction of the city that was gradually falling into darkness: "Over there, there is an unlit road, but I advise you not to get close. That road, even in the daytime, is full of weirdness."
Chen Ge frowned. This mission was indeed more difficult than imagined. That's it for shallow dreams and middle dreams. What would it be like for deep dreams?
Moreover, he has not yet found a way to bring his employees into dreams, which is the worst. Now, he has no chance of winning against powerful ghosts.
…
Darkness slowly fell and the whole city fell into silence. On their first night in the city, Chen Ge and his boss stayed at Jiang Xuan's house, but no one could fall asleep except the owner Jiang Xuan.
“Bang bang bang!”
In the early hours of the morning, someone knocked on the door, knocking three times each time and then pausing for a few seconds, just like a set program.
The knocking on the door lasted for half an hour and then disappeared, but this was only the first test in the dark night.
At about two o'clock in the morning, a cry for help came from outside the door. It was a woman's voice, crying for help, as if being chased by something, and kept beating on the door of the building.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the windows crackled with the wind. If you look closely, you will find that they are corpses, hanging out of the window, hitting the windows back and forth under the blow of the wind.
At six o'clock in the morning, the first ray of sunshine appeared on time, but at this moment the temperature dropped sharply. The gray sun did not seem to bring life and vitality at all, but seemed to welcome death.
Through the faint light, Chen Ge also saw the scenes in the city in the distance. At this moment when dawn was approaching, the night fell into its final madness. Outside the buildings, various strange scenes and corpses could be seen.
, human heads, broken limbs and arms... and some inexplicable monsters, cleaning the streets and devouring people who died in the night.
But the moment the light completely fell, they also disappeared at the same moment. There was no trace of them on the streets of the entire city, which were neat and clean, as if they had just been swept.

At this time, Jiang Xuan's door also opened, and he walked out of the room, just like an ordinary person. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, started to wash up, and made breakfast.
Nothing outside has affected him, or in other words, he has long been used to it.
Chen Ge didn't know what to say. He doubted whether this was a dream. If it wasn't a dream, how terrifying would the will of the man in front of him be? How could he be so calm in such an environment?
"You haven't slept all night?" After a while, Jiang Xuan walked out of the kitchen with several breakfasts in his hands. Looking at Chen Ge and the others, he couldn't help but smile.
"Then... where can I sleep?!" Brother Shen's name is "Shen Luo", but his face is very ugly now, as if he is seriously ill, pale, and his eyes are full of fear.
This night was indeed magical. He saw and heard all kinds of strange scenes, especially the scene in the city before dawn, which made him even more frightened. This city was really extremely dangerous.
Moreover, he found that even his innate skills could not be used here. He seemed to be an ordinary person, which was very unreasonable.
"You'll be fine once you get used to it." Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Come and eat, and then I'll accompany you to find a place to stay."
"Although I don't know how outsiders like you came in, once you come to this city, don't think about leaving. Just find a place to live honestly, keep in mind the taboos I told you, and maybe you can live a little longer.
"Jiang Xuan's tone was relaxed, but Chen Ge and the others were not in a good mood at all.
"You've never thought about leaving here?" Chen Ge asked. Jiang Xuan knew this city very well. With his help, he might still have hope of leaving.
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said: "This city stands on the edge of darkness. You want to leave, but have you ever thought that the front of you may not be light, but may also be boundless hell."
"It's better than waiting to die here." The boss gritted his teeth. It was just a hidden map. He didn't believe that he would be trapped and die here.
Chen Ge looked at Jiang Xuan. He had always felt that this person was extraordinary, especially after seeing the paragraph he wrote.
Even at the beginning, he had speculated that this person was the owner of the city, which was why he was so unscrupulous and indifferent, and could appear so calm in this city wrapped in all kinds of weirdness.
"Can you do me one last favor?" Chen Ge asked after thinking for a moment.
"Say." There was still a smile on his lips. Chen Ge couldn't see through what he was thinking. He had only experienced this feeling with Dr. Gao. It could even be said that the obviously younger young man in front of him,
It felt even deeper than what Dr. Gao had given him, like a bottomless black hole in which nothing could make waves.
"If I want to go to the road without lights, what should I pay attention to?" Calming his mind, Chen Ge asked again. He must go to the road without lights, and he must also go to the deep dreamland. The truth of everything is related, even if he really wants to fight with a city
Despite the opposition, he also wanted to give it a try.
There was not much surprise in Jiang Xuan's eyes. He seemed to have guessed his question. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "On the road without lights, try to avoid places with '4'. You just need to remember, '4'
'The more, the more dangerous it is."
Chen Ge was startled. Doesn't this mean that the place he is going to... is the most dangerous place?!
