Chapter 352 Night Attack
Chapter 352 Night Attack (Part )
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
Accompanied by a hysterical scream, Leonard, who was lying on the table, suddenly woke up. His pale face was covered with large beads of sweat. His luxurious silk undershirt was wet and stuck tightly to his back. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
It turns out...it was just a dream...
After struggling out of the nightmare, looking at the bright sky outside the window, Leonard, who was still in shock and almost exhausted, could not help but collapse on the back of the leather chair, gasping for breath like a man who was about to drown.
It seems that I have been too tired recently and the work intensity is a bit too high. In addition, the woman I just mentioned aroused the fear in my heart, so I suddenly had that kind of dream.
And the person from the Cleanup Bureau had also said that she and I both had Word Spirits in us, so we couldn't get too close to us, nor could we use those weird things to attack us, so we didn't have to worry about her revenge...
Yes, it is like that!
After comforting himself, Reynard, who had calmed down a little, turned around and shouted weakly:
"mark……"
"Mark...where are you?"
"Here I am!"
After hearing his call, the secretary outside the door came in holding a towel and said in a flattering tone:
"Master Reynard, after I came back from giving orders at the manor, I found you taking a nap, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Here is the hot towel I asked the maid to prepare. Please wipe your face first."
"Well... you are thoughtful..."
After seeing the secretary's extremely normal behavior, the last bit of doubt in Leonard's heart disappeared. He raised his trembling hands, took the steaming towel, and wiped the sweat off his face.
After seeing his pale face, Secretary Mark couldn't help but ask:
"Lord Reynard, are you...having a nightmare?"
"Um……"
After responding weakly, Reynard recalled the extremely real nightmare just now. His soul was shaken and he really needed someone to help him get rid of his fear. He couldn't help but said with a worried look on his face:
"I dreamed... we were walking on the corridor after finishing work, and then you chatted with me for a few words, and suddenly turned into the monster child of Baohua's family, asking me where her body was thrown... and then..."
"Then what happened?"
Then I peed my pants...but how can I say that?
"Then I started running, and the monster kid was chasing me."
After skipping over his embarrassing performance at that time, Leonard said with fear in his eyes:
"The corridor outside our door seemed endless, and her footsteps were getting closer and closer. I almost ran myself to death before I could barely run out from the other end.
But after I left the corridor and fell down the stairs, I found that the manor outside the door was not ours, but... that family's manor! Also, after I was chased out of the door by that monster, I saw an execution going on under the big redwood tree outside the door!"
"Execution?!"
Secretary Mark seemed to be attracted by Leonard's strange dream. His eyes flickered twice. His face was expressionless, but his voice was full of shock as he asked:
"Could it be... the incident six years ago involving Bao... that family?"
"It's that one... but something's not right..."
Leonard said hesitantly:
"The place is that place, but...but the person being executed is...is..."
"who is it?"
"it's me……"
Recalling the horrific scene he saw at that time, Leonard's lips trembled unconsciously as he spoke:
"More than nine hundred of me were blindfolded and held there... one after another... one after another...
And at the beginning, I was just watching from below, and then I was pushed down, and then I was killed one after another... No! I was killed one after another!
Ahhhh!!!" "Don't be impatient! Lord Reynard, please don't be impatient!"
Seeing Reynard screaming unconsciously, the secretary quickly handed him another towel and said comfortingly:
"It was all just a dream, you don't need to worry about it... What happened next? What happened next?"
"later……"
Leonard, who was still in shock, took the new towel and wiped his face which began to sweat again. Maybe because he had waited for a long time, the new towel was not only not warm, but even a little damp and cold.
But he was tortured by nightmares and his hands and feet were cold. He no longer cared whether the towel was cold or hot. At the secretary's seemingly magical voice, he narrated with horror:
"Then after the execution, that monster kid showed up on the street and started smiling at me, and I just... I just ran back.
This time it wasn’t the Baohua Manor that appeared, but our Cuiyu Manor. The monster child chased me slowly, telling me that as long as I jumped down and fished out her body, she would let me go…”
"Did you jump?"
"I...I jumped..."
Thinking of the freezing cold lake water, Leonard huddled in his chair, shivering as he spoke:
“I… I remember the original location very clearly, so I found it right after I jumped in, and then… when I wanted to come up, the water plants at the bottom of the lake suddenly entangled me.
Those wet and cold water plants seemed alive, curling around my ankles, wrapping around my hands, strangling my neck, and rubbing against my face wetly... I... I..."
"You didn't come up, and you drowned in the lake like that kid did?"
"right……"
"That's it..."
Secretary Mark hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
"The reason you had this dream is probably because the Baohua family treated you well and you felt that you did something wrong back then? So... you feel guilty?"
Do I feel guilty?
Leonard was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head vigorously and said:
"No! No! I'm not wrong!
They only had that marriage because they needed the support of the Jinjuan family. It was just a combination of interests. I haven't even seen that woman a few times! And the child is not... Damn it, Mark! What are you talking about?"
"I'm sorry, I just want to help analyze why you have these strange dreams. After all, you are really scared."
After apologizing politely, the secretary reminded gently:
"You look sweaty, would you like to wipe it off?"
"Um……"
After hearing Mark's reminder, Leonard wiped his sweat with the towel in his hand, but for some reason, the more he wiped his face, the more sweat he got. The towel, which was originally a little warm, gradually became damp, cold and sticky, as if...
He just strangled his limbs, mouth and nose and drowned himself in the water plants in the lake!
"I'm sorry, I was a little hasty in preparing it just now, and there are not enough hot towels. I hope you don't mind."
After apologizing to Reynard, whose face was as pale as death and whose lips were trembling again, the secretary "Mark" stood up and made way for the door leading to the corridor. He then pointed at the little girl standing behind Reynard and reminded her with a smile:
"Just make do with wiping it off for now. After all...it's time for you to run again."
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
