Wear a book, don't blacken the hero

There is a place here, it will tell you all the answers, why you came to this world, and why you met all this, all the things you never knew, it will tell you, as long as you find it. ——"Ghost Talk"

The place where he woke up was in ruins, there was no intact building around, traces of burning could be seen everywhere, there was no trace of life, except for deep despair.

I don't know whether countless lives have passed away here, and whether there are ruins and bones under my feet. "What kind of place is this? Is it an illusion again?" Xia Nan looked around, feeling very dull, not quite like an illusion.

"Dreamland, this is a dreamland. It seems that I have encountered a nightmare. I didn't expect to let that thing break in carelessly." An You's face was not very good-looking, and this place was not good for him, because it was a dreamland, and it was not his own. dream.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand." Zhang Ran's face was in a state of confusion, wasn't he in the dormitory just now, why did he come to this place all of a sudden?

"Nightmare, something that eats people's nightmares. If you guessed correctly, this should be your dreamland, and we were brought in." An You looked at him.

"My dream?"

"Forget it, I won't be able to tell for a while, it's better to find a way to leave first." An You sighed, his eyes fell on his right hand, he couldn't take out his weapon, and he couldn't use his strength here.

"Xia Nan, I can't use my strength here, you have to be careful." An You picked up a steel pipe and held it in his hand.

"Is there anything in here?" Xia Nan glanced at Zhang Ran who was still looking around. The other party was curious, and it seemed that he still didn't understand the current situation.

"I'm not sure. Although it's a dream, the ability of nightmares is very strong here. The things created can kill people in dreams. Except for the owner of the dream." An You glanced at Zhang Ran suggestively.

"Then can we use him to get out?"

"No, ordinary people's willpower is too weak, even if they know it's their own dream, they can't wake up. There are two ways now. The first is to find and capture the nightmare, and the second is to lead the nightmare into my dream. .”

"Then if it's the second type, will you be in danger?" Xia Nan was subconsciously worried about this question.

"No." An You smiled, unexpectedly, the other party's first reaction was his safety.

"Okay then, what are we going to do now?"

"First protect Zhang Ran. If he is in danger, the dream will collapse and everyone will disappear. Then find a room with pure white inside, which is the center of the dream. Then I will have my own way."

"Ah."

The plan has been made, and An You will take the lead in walking towards the front of the ruins.A huge shopping mall appeared in sight.It hasn't been destroyed here, but it's still lifeless.

"Wow, it really is a dream, can these things be taken casually?" Zhang Ran looked very excited.

"Don't touch it, I don't know what danger it will cause." An You's words discouraged the other party. Although he still doesn't understand the current situation, it should be better to listen to the two people, after all, he has rescued him before him once.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Nanju has something staring at them all the way, but he didn't find anything.Until this feeling becomes more and more obvious.

"Do you feel that something is following us?" Xia Nan stopped.

"Is there? No." Zhang Ran asked suspiciously.

An You didn't speak, and was vigilant around with the steel pipe in his hand. There were slight sounds in the quiet air.Suddenly a black thing sprang out and rushed towards the three of them.

"Ah!" Zhang Ran just watched An You stand in front of that thing, and the steel pipe in his hand was bitten by a black monster.

The monster had a ferocious face, only the whites of its eyes remained, its body was scorched black, its human-like limbs were lying on the ground, and its throat made a strange gurgling sound.

Zhang Ran was already trembling the first time he came into close contact with such a terrifying thing.With all his strength, An You knocked the thing onto the opposite shelf, and the monster was crushed under the shelf and did not get up.

"That's a human." Xia Nan was a little uncertain.

"Well, it's been scorched. There was a fire here." An You's eyes flickered, and he remembered the ruins before. This is the scene before they became ruins.

"Fire, fire...don't..." Zhang Ran suddenly hugged his head in pain.

"It looks like it's his memory. He's leaving quickly. Those things have gathered. There's more than one kind. Don't get caught." An You tightened the weapon in his hand.

Xia Nan looked in the direction of the escalator, it seemed that there was still a long way to go.He took Zhang Ran who was still in panic with him again, and went up to the second floor before those things caught up.

I don't know if those things will go up to the second floor, or that there are things waiting for them on every floor.Zhang Ran's condition has been bad since before, and he has been silent all the time, and it's not easy for Xia Nan to ask the other party, such things are bad memories.

"You don't have anything to say? Your memory will be of great help in leaving here." An You said, but his footsteps did not stop.

Zhang Ran also raised his head from the memories, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. "My mother took me to this mall when I was ten years old, but there was a fire and I don't know how I got out.

At that time, many people died in it, and my mother did not come out.Since then, I have been having constant nightmares about people who died and they turned into various monsters. "

"I have been troubled by nightmares. Maybe the nightmares have been following you for a long time, but after coming to this school, the nightmares were released again." An You said, unable to hear the tone.

"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble." Zhang Ran lowered his head and blamed himself.

"You think too much of yourself." There was sarcasm in his tone, Zhang Ran knew that the other party was trying to comfort him, so he didn't say anything.

After walking for a while, a strange rustling sound appeared again, this time it was an insect-like sound.But there was still no clue at the center of the dream.Xia Nan glanced at the bell tied around her waist, but there was no response.

Blue and black patterns spread from the wall, and the same thing happened on the clean floor. They gathered towards the center, like a huge net.

"A lot of bugs!" Zhang Ran suddenly shouted, and saw many insects crawling out of the corner densely, and mice kept scurrying out, but soon those things died at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dried up like flower petals.

The three of them stood back to back in a defensive posture, and the smell of rancidity instantly permeated from one direction, and a man in tattered clothes jumped towards the three of them in the way of zombies.

"Zombie?" Xia Nan froze for a moment.

"Hold your breath, go to the third floor." An You's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly reacted.

The things around the zombie were rapidly rotting, and every inch of the floor that they stepped on gradually collapsed. The seemingly slow speed quickly shortened the distance between the three of them.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Ran asked following in the footsteps of the two.

"The zombies transformed by the nightmare, although they don't know their strength yet, are better than the first floor..."

"The escalator disappeared!" Xia Nan stopped, gasping for breath, watching the road that should have been going up the stairs turn into a wall.

"Damn it, look around, it must still be there." An You cursed fiercely and changed directions.

The oppression from the strong is constantly added, and those without strength are running like clowns.

"Nightmare won't kill me, you go find a way first, and I'll lure him away." Zhang Ran stopped.

"Do you think you are the savior? Since you can't go to the third floor, then go to the second floor." An You sneered, a hint of conspiracy flashed in his eyes.

The first floor has been occupied by the group of monsters, they are like dogs lying on the ground searching. "You want them to kill each other." Xia Nan seemed to understand An You's intention.

"Well, regardless of victory or defeat, we are the ones to gain." An You glanced at the things coming down from upstairs.

Those downstairs are not allowed to go up, but those upstairs can come down. This is the restriction of the level of the room, so that's fine, otherwise I don't know what to do.

The zombie had already arrived downstairs, but at this time the three of them were already hiding.Because of the invasion of foreign objects, the monsters were quickly attracted to them.Zombies are strong, but there are many monsters, and the two sides are entangled.

"It's now." An You pursed his lips and went upstairs again. This time, he found the way to the third floor smoothly.
