Although he was not able to find Pickman, after seeing these paintings, he can probably guess where Pickman went.

He was not sure about that well for the time being, and staying here would have no other meaning other than being in danger for nothing.

The two of them were about to leave from the passage they had just come in. Suddenly, there was a heavy knocking sound from one of the locked doors. It seemed that a huge beast was imprisoned behind the door, trying to break through the confinement.

"Come on!"

Xia Ren didn't hesitate anymore, and pushed Elliott's back to speed up his escape.

The two walked into the dark passage, the flame on the oil lamp might be extinguished at any time because of their rapid movement, the light was too weak to see the road clearly.

At the same time, the sound of the door breaking entered the ears of the two, and then, the hidden monster ran on all fours and rushed towards them.

The heavy panting and footsteps were getting closer and closer to the two, and their speed could not be compared with the monsters. If this continued, even if they ran out of the passage, they would be caught by the other party.

Xia Ren's scalp was numb, and at the critical moment, he thought of the weapon he was carrying that could cause damage to the monster - the revolver.

In the dark, he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, but relying on instinct, he took out his pistol and pulled the trigger continuously toward the rear.

Bang!Bang!bang...

After six consecutive gunshots, Xia Ren fired all the bullets in the revolver in one breath, then ran out of the passage without looking back, and came to the first basement that he had just entered.

I don't know if it was the bullets that had an effect, or the gunshots scared the opponent away, but the monster didn't seem to follow.

They ran along the stairs all the way to the foyer. The warm sun shone on them, but it didn't bring much sense of security.

They didn't dare to stop for a moment, until they ran out of the street and saw pedestrians, they were both exhausted and sat on the ground breathing fresh air.

Under the extreme tension and fear, the lungs of the two of them were about to explode. Every time they took a breath, their throats and organs felt a little burning pain. They finally recovered after resting for a while.

They all had the expressions of the rest of their lives after a catastrophe, and they looked at each other, and they could see the residual fear in each other's eyes.

"What is it that rushed out of the closed room?" Elliott asked with lingering fear.

Xia Ren shook his head: "It was too dark at the time, and I didn't see clearly."

He will not tell Elliott the truth.

In fact, at the moment of shooting, he vaguely saw the appearance of a monster through the flame from the muzzle of the gun.

It was a skinny figure, about a circle larger than a wild wolf. Except for its head, it had no hair anywhere else, and its running posture was also very strange, as if it was not an animal that was born accustomed to running on all fours.

Xia Ren didn't know why that terrible creature was imprisoned in the basement. Perhaps only Pickman himself knew the truth of the matter.

"It's a good thing you brought a gun, otherwise we'd both be dead there."

After Elliot finished speaking, he seemed to realize something.

"Pickman's disappearance, could it be..."

He already subconsciously believed that Pickman had encountered misfortune in the basement, but he didn't speculate in a more terrifying direction.

"Probably not, we didn't see any blood, did we?"

Xia Ren looked up at the sky, the sun had shifted to the west, and the sun was not as dazzling as it was at noon.

He patted the dust off his butt, stood up and said, "I'm going home, Teresa is still waiting for me at home."

Elliot also stood up quickly, feeling a little caught off guard by his sudden departure: "Are you going back so soon?"

Xia Ren sighed and said, "My husband died in a gang fight. Now that rival gang has taken control of our neighborhood. I always sneak out when I come out in the morning. It will take time to go back, and they don't know When will I come to the door, I must get home before dark to prevent any accidents to my daughter."

Elliott hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you and your daughter the only two left at home?"

Xia Ren didn't think much, and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to find Pickman, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, my little uncle turned out to be a hidden ghoul cub.

The relationship between wizards and ghouls is far older than he imagined.

Elliott seemed to have made up his mind, and summoned up his courage to say, "Why don't I take you back, with me here, you don't have to worry about safety, how about it?"

"you?"

Xia Ren looked at him in surprise, not knowing what his purpose was.

Elliott thought she suspected that he had bad intentions, and said: "Pickman is not necessarily missing, and I haven't seen him for only a few days. Maybe when we were looking for him, he happened to be away and came back at night. Woolen cloth?"

Although Xia Ren didn't quite believe that Pickman would come back, and even if he came back, he wouldn't be able to trust a ghoul cub to hand Theresa over to him, but Elliott's proposal was really attractive , In the chaotic streets, the weight of a woman is completely different from that of a man. At least with the latter, the safety of the former can be guaranteed to a large extent.

Seeing that Xia Ren was a little shaken, Elliott continued: "I am an employee of a big company, those small gangs dare not harm us, you can rest assured."

Xia Ren thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Elliott seemed very happy that she could agree to the proposal of the two going home together. The two walked to a slightly bustling street, took a taxi, and rushed towards Anna's house.

However, taxis in rich areas will not easily cross the border. When they arrive in poor areas, they can only change to horse-drawn carriages.

Yes, there are still horse-drawn carriages in Myrican, and they are very common in poor areas. They are an important tool for people's production and transportation. After all, cars are too rare here, and they are not affordable for the poor, even if they can afford them. , You also need to drive to the rich area to have a gas station.

When Xia Ren came, he was cautious and afraid of being stopped by the checkpoints set up by the Voodoo Gang on the main road, so he didn't dare to take the carriage. But now that Elliott is here, safety is no longer a problem.

The driver is a middle-aged man in his 40s, but his face is obviously older than his youth. People here have to face heavy life pressure and various dangers from the outside world, as well as severely uneven distribution of medical resources. Being able to live to 60 years old can already be called a long life.

The two were sitting in the carriage. Elliott was not very eloquent. After finding a few dry topics, it was difficult to chat, so he quickly fell into silence.

Xia Ren looked at the scenery on the side of the road, thinking about the next action in his mind.

This ancient dream is simply hell mode. Before finding the clues of the old ruler, the first thing to worry about is the most basic survival issue.

Living in a chaotic neighborhood, there are threats from humans everywhere, but he has nothing to rely on.

The only man in the family died suddenly at the beginning, and his body is a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, and he needs to take care of an even weaker little girl. He doesn't know how long this ancient dream will last before it ends. Like the second ancient dream, it’s okay to only need to stay for one night, but I’m afraid that the situation is similar to the first ancient dream, and it needs to survive for a month or even longer.

The longer you stay in the ancient dream, the greater the side effects of leaving the ancient dream. Everything around you is so real, the longer you immerse yourself, the more difficult it is to distinguish the difference between reality and the dream.

The ancient dream is so difficult, and the time and space travel that the doctor has been carrying out is even more difficult.

That is the reality of other timelines. He wants to stay awake in those long and real worlds, endure unimaginable suffering without losing himself, and what kind of tenacious will he needs to know what he doesn't know.

Xia Ren sighed, full of worries about the future.

He planned to drift with the tide for the next period of time, because according to the previous two experiences, even if he did nothing, the surrounding environment would force him to the dead end leading to the Old One.

But this time the situation is slightly different. It is very difficult for a woman alone, especially with a child, to survive in Myrican. If there is no progress in the ancient dream, then even if it is a risk, he must enter it himself. Check out that well.

And there is another reason, Qin Yun is still in danger, Xia Ren can't completely control himself not to feel anxious, and if he stays in the ancient dream for one more day, he will suffer one more day of pain. No matter how strong the will is, it is unbearable.
