Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 1 A Cat Causes a Tragedy

Li Nanke woke up slowly.

His cheek was pressed against the cold, prickly tile. The warm blood had long since cooled down, with half of his face immersed in it. The smell of blood kept drilling into his nose.

The blood came from the ragdoll cat that died tragically in front of him.

Li Nanke supported himself and sat up. He felt pain all over his body. The most severe pain came from the back of his head. When he reached out his hand, he felt the hair that had dried up and formed a clumping mass from the blood.

The hair is half long, not his own short hair.

This body was not his either, but that of a tall, white man who looked decadent and melancholy.

Looking around, the strange house I was in was in a mess, with glass and broken pieces all over the floor. It was obvious that it had been the scene of a robbery.

Li Nanke uncontrollably picked up the ragdoll cat lying in a pool of blood. The kitten's body had become slightly stiff and rigid.

He clearly had no feelings for the cat, but his heart was inexplicably filled with deep sadness.

"V is the only thing my late wife left me. It is the only thing that accompanies me in every lonely and sleepless night..."

With hoarse words uttered unconsciously by his lips, he carried the kitten down the aisle to the garage.

The beloved old car in the garage had long disappeared, and then, a series of hideously grinning faces flashed through my mind.

Li Nanke went to the yard outside the house and buried the kitten with his own hands.

"I will make those bastards pay with blood!"

Raging rage filled his chest, even his breathing was burning. He clenched his fists and swore word by word.

Neither sadness nor anger is Li Nanke's subjective emotion, but comes from the original body's emotions.

These emotions are obviously torn from his subjective thinking, just like watching a sentimental segment of whining without any reason. Not only can he not empathize with the emotions well, but he finds them a bit boring.

Li Nanke could clearly feel the strength of this body, but there was a sense of awkwardness in his movements, as if he could not control his body well after being drunk.

Various senses such as vision, touch, and hearing also have a hazy and limited feeling, as if observing the outside world through frosted glass.

Li Nanke held his breath and tried his best to integrate himself into the white man named "Johnny".

Gradually, the bleak white light from the dawn sky, the chirping of insects in the courtyard, the earthy smell of the newly built graves, the feeling of fatigue left in the body after a hangover... so many feelings swept in like a torrent, shattering the weak and vague senses.

All the emotions and past events became increasingly profound and clear, as if Li Nanke had personally experienced all the painful experiences.

He is Johnny.

At the same time, my past memories are becoming increasingly strange and distant...

Li Nanke did not follow the correct path, that is, he did not go to the basement of the house to break open the cement slabs and take out the dusty firearms.

He forced himself to control his body, broke free from some invisible restraints, and went to the bedroom on the second floor.

Ignoring the voice prompt ringing in his ear, he took out a bank card containing a large amount of wealth from the secret compartment of the bedside table, and then left quickly.

An inconspicuous building in the city center.

The building is the headquarters of a well-known killer in the underground world, providing a series of services including logistics, medical care, assassination, firearms, intelligence, etc. As long as you are willing to pay, there is nothing you can't buy here.

Perhaps influenced by his current memory, Li Nanke felt that this absurd-sounding "killer headquarters" setting was extremely reasonable.

"Oh my god, who is this? Isn't this retired Johnny!"

"Are you short of money recently and planning to do something big?"

After verifying his identity, the black waiter led Li Nanke to the front desk and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"My cat is dead. It was killed."

The blonde woman at the front desk was extremely charming, with a V-neck that almost reached her navel. When she saw the retired legendary killer Johnny coming, she just smiled, having admired him for a long time, but she was stunned when she heard his words.

Everyone in the underworld knows how powerful the legendary killer Johnny is. It is said that he once killed fifty people in a bar with just a pencil.

Such a powerful killer quit the underground world because of a beloved woman and announced his retirement.

Although Johnny has retired, his legend is still circulating in the underground world. It is said that his wife died of illness not long ago, leaving Johnny with only a cat...

"Mr. Johnny, that damn murderer will definitely regret it."

"Are the headquarters' services still available to me?"

"Of course, may I ask what service you may require, Mr. Johnny?"

"Guns. Lots of guns."

Li Nanke took the tablet computer handed over by the female receptionist and pushed the bank card onto the counter...

JF911式单兵火箭筒，泰坦10A榴弹发射器，夜鸦B2型5.8毫米自动步枪，收割520式7.62毫米精确射击步枪、地狱犬新型7.62毫米弹链式机枪、M99破片手雷、RLQ高爆手雷……

The female receptionist couldn't help but secretly gasp in amazement. Such powerful firepower was more than enough on the battlefield. She couldn't help but observe two seconds of silence for the unlucky guy who killed the cat.

"Mr. Johnny, the things you need can be prepared in two hours. What is the delivery address?"

"Open a room. I'll wait at the headquarters. Also, help me purchase some items that are not on the list."

The female receptionist was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

Li Nanke quickly wrote down a list with a pen. The female receptionist took it and was shocked.

"Mr. Johnny, you, you are..."

She stuttered for a long time before she came to her senses, biting her lower lip lightly, her eyes so charming that they could almost drip water: "Mr. Johnny, if you need anything... Ahem, I will be taking over at noon, can you buy me a drink?"

"No, that's a different price."

Li Nanke said something without thinking, took the room card and turned to walk towards the elevator, leaving the female receptionist alone and disheveled in the wind.

There were a lot of indescribable things clearly written on the paper, such as bondage ropes, crotchless clothes, gags, whips, candles, maces, etc.

"It's not impossible if you need additional services... but you have to pay extra."

Li Nanke muttered to himself in the elevator, but it was obvious that he was not talking to the female receptionist.

Three hours later.

The roar of the engine, like the roar of a giant beast, echoed throughout the mountain road, startling large flocks of birds along the way.

The sentry at the manor villa on the top of the mountain was suddenly startled to see a large off-road vehicle speeding towards them!

"Stop! This is Mr. Brown's territory..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, a rocket came towards him with a huge flame and a tail of smoke!
In an instant, the fence gate of the manor broke into pieces and collapsed.

Amid the smoke and dust, the SUV rushed through the gate without stopping. A black muzzle of a gun extended from the window, and the bullets took the lives of two gangster sentries. It continued to rush towards the central villa of the manor.

The thick tires rolled over the lawn, accompanied by the screams of the gardener pushing the lawn mower, and grass clippings and mud flew everywhere, plowing out several long and hideous scars.

The SUV braked suddenly and stopped in front of the villa. Even through the thick door, the rock music and carnival screams coming from inside could be clearly heard...

The grenade launcher was mounted on the car window door, and raging flames erupted from the muzzle!
Wood splinters burst and flew everywhere, and the explosion stopped the noisy voices, leaving only loud music and flickering lights. Everyone looked towards the door with fear and dullness in their eyes.

A decadent tall man walked towards them. He was wearing a neat suit with two buttons of his bright grey shirt undone at the collar. His medium-long hair was messy and his beard was untidy.

The man walked past several corpses covered with shrapnel and tattoos near the door. There were cold guns on his shoulders, stuck in his waist, and in his hands!

"Gentlemen, ladies, please... go to hell!"

The lights were dancing and screams were ringing, but the roar of exploding gunshots could not be suppressed at all. The straight black suits, clean and sharp movements, and the flames of revenge were burning under the dazzling flashing light and shadow.

Deafening music and roars of gunfire merge into a symphony, coupled with soul-roaring rock songs, paving a road to the gates of hell.

"My heart is as cold as ice, and I am indifferent to being manipulated..."

"boom!"

"I was exhausted physically and mentally, but suddenly I woke up..."

"boom!"

……

"I transformed myself again, breaking free from the fetters and restraints..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

When the rock song ended, Li Nanke shot the computer that controlled the surround sound system. The harsh music stopped and the entire hall that had been converted into a bar suddenly became quiet.

But the hall that had been bustling with revelry just now had turned into a living hell, with corpses and broken limbs scattered all over the floor, looking extremely horrifying under the flickering lights.

At this time, there were only two frightened men, one black and one white, left in the hall. They were huddled in a corner, breathing rapidly.

"Don't come over here!"

Ignoring the two men's shouting, Li Nanke stepped forward, picked up the limp Little Brown, and tied the culprit tightly with a rope.

As they got closer, Little Brown could finally see the devil's face clearly.

"Oh it's you!"

Isn't this guy just an ordinary drunkard? How can he be scarier than a demon?
Little Brown is extremely regretful now. If he had known earlier, he should not have robbed the car last night... No, he should have killed the person decisively after robbing the car to silence him!
Although this would turn a burglary into a murder, it would still be better than the current horrific experience...

Looking at the hall full of corpses, Little Brown was almost crazy as only one of his brothers was left. It was just a robbed old car, so what was the big deal!
"Don't, don't kill me, I didn't sell your car, I'll return it to you, don't kill me!"

Little Brown suppressed his fear and stammered for mercy. He yelled at the other surviving black man, "What are you still standing there for! Take this gentleman to get the car keys!"

The burly and strong black guy didn't dare to move under the black muzzle of the gun.

Li Nanke shook his head slowly: "If it was just because of the car, I wouldn't come here... You shouldn't have killed my cat."

Little Brown's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened.

"What the hell, you killed so many people just for a cat?!" Little Brown screamed wildly in his heart. He knew he was doomed because he met the most unreasonable person - a cat lover.

"I am the son of Old Brown from the fraternity! You can't kill me. I swear, if you dare to kill me, my father will kill you at all costs!"

"Old Brown, I know him."

What Little Brown fears most is that the other party has never heard of the reputation of the fraternity leader. If the other party does not know how powerful the person he has offended is, he will attack without scruples.

Hearing this, he perked up and thought there was still room for maneuver: "Sir, please drive your car away. I will pretend that what happened today never happened... What are you doing, fuck!"

Li Nanke took off his tactical backpack, unzipped it and threw out a round, bloody ball.

The thing rolled to Little Brown's feet. The hideous and tragically dead middle-aged man's face was looking up to the sky, his expression still showing the madness and pain before his death. It was obvious that he died in a very unpeaceful way.

Little Brown was completely stunned and terrified. The owner of the head was none other than the leader of the Brotherhood, his father, Old Brown.

"You killed my cat, I killed your father. It's fair."

Li Nanke threw the backpack in front of the strong black brother, and the colorful things inside immediately scattered out.

He raised the gun and said to the black man, "Beat him."

The burly black man raised his head with a confused expression, obviously not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

"You know what to do, if you don't want to die."

The black man looked at the black muzzle of the gun and finally reacted. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then he tremblingly picked up the mace, gag, blue pills and other objects on the ground.

"Ah! You are a devil! You are an absolute devil... ugh!"

Li Nanke looked at his watch: "Two hours, not a second less."

Two hours later, little Brown, covered in bruises, collapsed completely on the ground. His expression was numb, his eyes were dead, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

The black guy next to him was panting heavily, obviously tired from beating the guy and expending too much energy.

Li Nanke's eyes were cold and calm: "You beat me up, and I had someone beat you up too. It's fair."

He stepped forward and untied Little Brown's gag.

The dead dog-like man murmured in a hoarse voice: "I will not let you go even if I go to hell. Who are you? Who are you..."

"Remember to tell Satan, my name is Johnny."

Little Brown's pupils suddenly shrank, and he finally connected the decadent man in front of him with the figure of the notorious legendary killer.

"boom!"

"boom!"

After two crisp gunshots, the hall was left in dead silence.

After doing all this, Li Nanke picked up the bottle of wine scattered on the ground and left the villa.

At this time, the belated sound of police sirens came from far away, and several police cars could be vaguely seen speeding outside the manor gate.

He returned to the SUV and gently stroked the newly adopted Siamese cat, which rubbed his palm affectionately.

Li Nanke ignored the police cars that came with ill intentions and raised his glass to the air:

"Pleasant to work with."

He tilted his head back and drank the wine. The spicy liquid flowed down his throat and spread to his internal organs...

At the same time, surging darkness swept in like a rolling wave, and the deafening roar was like a tsunami, engulfing everything in sight and covering all sensory perceptions.

In the dimness, a robotic voice that was indistinguishable between male and female was heard again.
