The setting sun shone obliquely through the gaps in the leaves and landed on the earthen mounds of the yellowish-brown graves.
In the mottled and blurred illusions of colors, both JiiXi and the Messy hair youth fell silent.
The Messy hair youth, GuXoo, turned his head to contemplation for a while, and suddenly realized that there was no sound beside him.
He turned his head to look and found that JiiXi had fallen asleep.
JiiXi was sitting on the ground and had fallen asleep with a guitar in his arms.
Before long, a wave of drowsiness hit, and the Messy hair youth, GuXoo, also fell into a deep sleep.
..
In his sleep, JiiXi fell into a strange dream.
In an empty space, there was no sound at all, and it was pitch dark all around.
Suddenly, a black and mysterious altar appeared in the rear, decorated with black and mysterious runes.
There was a clown actor performing the face-changing trick.
The clown actor took off different masks one after another.
The clown approached JiiXi and took off the last mask, revealing a chaotic face without facial features.
The chaotic face touched upon JiiXi's inner loneliness, emptiness, confusion, and fear...
On the clown's shoulder stood a three-eyed crow with black feathers all over its body.
Both wings of the three-eyed crow were broken.
One of the wings was still bleeding black blood.
JiiXi was instantly scared awake and found that it was already night.
He broke out in a cold sweat, and his underclothes were already soaked.
..
The imagery in the dream was so strange that JiiXi shuddered with fear and felt restless.
All the debtors in the graveyard area had left.
Only the sleeping Messy hair youth, GuXoo, remained.
The Messy hair youth, like a lonely wise man, had his body buried in the grave, seeming to blend with the earth.
Only a lonely head was left sticking out of the grave.
JiiXi put the guitar on his back, took out a bag of snacks, and left while eating them leisurely.
On the Debtor Square, the debtors and passers-by had almost all left.
..
JiiXi, not long after leaving the Debtor Square, turned and walked into an uninhabited street.
The dark environment made JiiXi instantly tense up.
JiiXi felt an indescribable sense of fear, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
The dream of the faceless man's face-changing flashed through his mind, which was similar to the scene of the uninhabited altar in the dream.
JiiXi instantly entered a state of self-hypnosis, and his vigilance was raised to the limit.
..
Suddenly sensing movement behind him, JiiXi instinctively turned his head to look.

There was a blurry figure, like a ghost, rushing towards him at high speed.
JiiXi instantly accelerated and rushed forward like a startled rooster.
At the same time, he tore open the bag of snacks and threw them in the direction of the mysterious person behind him.
The snacks scattered in the air like thousands of flying flowers.
In the night, the mysterious person couldn't tell whether they were hidden weapons or poisoned weapons and could only take a detour to avoid them.
Thanks to the mysterious person's avoidance of the snacks, JiiXi had the time to accelerate and jump into the air.
..
After avoiding the snacks, the mysterious person suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.
The metal boxing gloves, with a fierce wind, struck JiiXi with a powerful blow.
At the instant when the mysterious person's metal boxing gloves were about to reach him, JiiXi also accelerated and jumped up.
The moment he jumped into the air, JiiXi spun his body and bent his legs.
And while turning around, he took down the guitar and used it as a shield, blocking it under his feet.
The mysterious person's metal boxing gloves hit the back of the guitar, and the guitar was smashed to pieces.
JiiXi used the impact force of the mysterious person's metal boxing gloves to jump and leap forward in the air.
..
In the air, JiiXi was pushed a long distance away.
After leaving a rather embarrassed arc, JiiXi fell sideways and landed on the ground.
The moment his four limbs touched the ground.
JiiXi rolled over several times on the ground following the inertia.
JiiXi quickly got up, picked up the broken guitar handle, and assumed an ancient martial arts defensive posture.
At the same time, he used all his strength and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Help! Faceless assassin! Murder!"
JiiXi's terrified shout broke through the silence of the street and spread far in the night.
..
After shouting, JiiXi took a closer look and realized that it was all in vain.
Because that mysterious person had already disappeared without a trace.
The mysterious person, seeing that one blow didn't succeed, hesitated for just a moment and then quickly turned and retreated to hide.
Hearing JiiXi's shout, the mysterious person shuddered and left even more quickly.
..
The fear after surviving the disaster made JiiXi's body still tremble violently.
JiiXi estimated that the mysterious person was at least a ninth-dan samurai.
Moreover, she wore special metal boxing gloves on both hands.
If one was hit on the head by them, it would surely be fatal.
Just now, if it were someone else, it would have been a deadly situation.
Fortunately, the mysterious person was not a death-dealing killer and retreated after one unsuccessful strike.
She didn't dare to leave holographic image evidence and die together with JiiXi.
If the mysterious person had launched another suicidal charge, JiiXi would surely have been doomed.
..
JiiXi quickly analyzed that five elements combined had coincidentally saved his life:
Snacks, the guitar, the dream omen, ancient martial arts training, and self-hypnosis.
The dream omen made him more vigilant in a dangerous environment.
The snacks confused the mysterious person, giving him enough time to accelerate, jump into the air, and reduce the impact force.
The guitar served as a shield and blocked the mysterious person's fatal blow.
Martial training gave him agile skills and a quick reaction ability.
Self-hypnosis instantly stimulated his potential to the limit of his body.
Without any one of these elements, JiiXi would surely have died today with no chance of survival.
