Chapter 97: A Day of Frequent Incidents_2
It was like a torrential downpour suddenly stopping, a terrifying storm dissipating in an instant, or like bullets densely fired, all suddenly hitting the ground.
Waking Nightmare also fell to the ground with a thud.
In the entire house, for a moment, there was only the sound of Waking Nightmare's painful gasping.
That sentence was as if it had magic power.
It made all the eyes on Zhang Haoyun's body close, allowing her to awaken from chaos instantly.
"Sorry... I'm sorry!"
Her voice also became normal, and the next second, all her memories surged forth.
It wasn't a dream...
She remembered everything; what she had experienced was not a dream, it was Zhou Baiyu who really came to her side.
...and saved her from the black cocoon.
Her clear eyes filled with tears, and she could almost hear Zhou Baiyu's cries still echoing in her ears.
"Now we are both monsters, neither of us is nobler than the other!"
Muttering this, Zhang Haoyun suddenly started crying and began to constantly apologize to Waking Nightmare.
Waking Nightmare was also flabbergasted, damn, was that one sentence so powerful?
How could the great demon lord change so drastically back and forth with just one sentence?
He certainly had not expected that I, Waking Nightmare, would ultimately be saved by a flippant word from a kid...
But at least he had survived, and moreover, Waking Nightmare found that the corruption around him had also dissipated.
Zhang Haoyun seemed to have completely stabilized.
That put his mind slightly at ease; although he had been tormented badly, it seemed unimportant now.
He even comforted her:
"That kid is actually fine now, alive and..."
"Damn it, where is she?"
Waking Nightmare was stunned; it was just a blink of an eye, and suddenly Zhang Haoyun had disappeared.
The sensation was like being tormented repeatedly, thinking it's just a dream in the dream, and everything will be okay once you wake up, only to find out it's worse.
Now that the great demon lord had finally calmed down, she disappeared.
The thought of a demon lord level being wandering around the streets... seemed even more terrifying than before.
Waking Nightmare did not delay and immediately called Zhou Baiyu.
Just then... as Zhou Baiyu was wearing those shoes, he was in front of the computer waiting for the update announcement, wanting to see where he would go this time.
"Brother Duan, what's up?" Zhou Baiyu's tone was also quite anxious.
"That great demon lord... woke up! Zhang Haoyun woke up!"
Zhou Baiyu was flabbergasted.
After putting on those shoes, the emergencies he encountered were too many, weren't they?
Although he had taken off the shoes, everything was too late. Various events had already begun to ferment.
"Let me talk to her, it doesn't matter if she's awake; since Brother Duan you could call, I suppose she is sober and didn't trouble you?" Although Zhou Baiyu was anxious, his thoughts were still clear.
Waking Nightmare hesitated for a second, then slowly announced the bad news:
"She's disappeared... vanished in the blink of an eye."
"What the hell?" Zhou Baiyu's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.
"Don't yell, I'm also depressed, how can I, a mere mortal, even with my strength, confine such a great demon lord?"
The situation was much more severe than Zhou Baiyu had imagined.
"The situation is like this... Kid, I think you have a great influence on Zhang Haoyun; if it's you, maybe you can get her to settle down. Right now, we just need to find her! Or let her know your location; I guess she might want to see you right now!"
Waking Nightmare's deduction was probably correct.
Zhou Baiyu also guessed that if Zhang Haoyun still wanted to see someone, it would certainly be him.
But the problem was...
"But Brother Duan, I'm in trouble right now... I can't leave."
"What do you mean you can't leave?" Waking Nightmare's voice also rose eight octaves.
"It means... I've been conscripted. I will soon go to Advanced World."
"..."
"..."
The men at both ends of the phone fell into silence. Both of them felt exasperated.
"Do you want to pray to a god? I feel that with your current streak of bad luck, you might end up going to a terrible place next?"
Waking Nightmare was a legendary pathfinder with no pretenses, and his social demeanor made it easy for Zhou Baiyu to get familiar with him, and so he spoke more freely than at the beginning:
"Tss tss tss tss tss, Brother Duan, couldn't you wish me a little..."
Before Zhou Baiyu could finish his words, Waking Nightmare's curse came true.
After being stunned, silent, and exasperated, Zhou Baiyu looked at his suddenly blue-screened computer and felt a surge of helplessness.
[Version 2.30 update announcement: Fixed the bug with some items becoming ineffective.
Enhanced the properties of legendary items and traits but reduced their drop rate. Due to the enhanced intelligence of demons in version 2.21, but their impoverished spiritual life remaining unimproved, we decided to add some desires to the demons to make them more proactive, thereby enhancing the pathfinders' experience.
Additionally, as the overall world corruption increases, we will introduce several new challenge modes in subsequent versions after 2.3, and correspondingly, there will also be more rewards.
Last but not least, we strengthened the night demons' powers at night, but in turn, made the night demons weaker during the day.]
Version 2.30.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Baiyu couldn't help but utter a traditional lament internally.
"Is there no king's law? Is there no law?" Zhou Baiyu roared internally, feeling completely frazzled.
But there was even more despairing news.
