escape from nightmare game

The weather in August in Haimen City was humid and hot. After a few typhoons, there was still little improvement.

On weekdays, when walking on the street for a while, Shi Chen must be sweating all over his back.Today was an exception, he walked for almost 10 minutes without breaking a sweat, even when he arrived at the TIAMO store, he shivered because of the strong air-conditioning.

TIAMO is opened in an old bungalow. It is a Michelin two-star restaurant. The price is a bit scary. The car parked in the yard does not cost a million dollars.

Shi Chen's residential area is very close to the Municipal Bureau. It takes about ten minutes to drive through two traffic lights. In spring and autumn, when the weather is clear, he often walks to and from get off work. Every time he passes by, he looks inside, but he has never encountered Went to school.

It's a pity that he was a bit unlucky, and Wen Xue still didn't come to the store.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, it's not seven o'clock yet." Xia Leyi noticed Shi Chen, and every time people passed by outside the box, he would look at him, thinking that he was in a hurry.

"I'm not waiting for him." Shi Chen didn't turn his head, he just stared at the direction where someone was coming.

"Ah?" Xia Leyi was confused, and continued to ask: "Then who are you looking for?"

"No one." Shi Chen didn't want to answer.

Xia Leyi didn't stop and said: "Hey, no, you seem to be looking for someone, how about I help you find someone."

Shi Chen was annoyed by others asking him, probably because of his professional habits, he would feel that he was being treated as a suspect.He clicked his tongue softly, and he pretended that he didn't hear it, and continued to look out with his head held up.

Xia Leyi was a little bit blank, but soon noticed Shi Chen's impatience, quickly shut up, and chatted nonsense without saying a word.

Old bungalows use wooden ladders, and there will be a slight "creak" sound when walking on them. A few seconds before seven o'clock, the box on the second floor becomes very quiet, and there is unexpected slow footsteps in the stairwell.

The two people in the room listened, thinking of the scene in the dream, the hairs on their bodies instantly stood up.

Shi Chen rubbed his palms to warm his arms, and when he looked up, he saw a man standing outside the door, about [-] to [-] years old, You Lixi was in good shape, he looked like he had been exercising a lot, and he was full of aura.

"Xia Leyi." You Lixi was stunned when he saw Shi Chen, and then smiled, "Shi Chen, Captain Shi is here too."

When Xia Leyi saw someone coming, he quickly gave up his seat, went out and called the waiter to serve the meal, and sat next to Shi Chen with a smile. Compared to You Lixi, Xia Leyi felt more at ease sitting next to Shi Chen.

There was an inexplicable silence in the box, and the three of them stared at each other for about 5 minutes, without any intention of opening their mouths.

"Is everyone awake?" Shi Chen was most concerned about this topic.

"It should be. Except..." You Lixi saw the waiter come in to deliver the appetizers, and immediately closed his mouth. When the people left, he put down the fork he had just picked up, and said with a sneer, "I can't guarantee whether Fan Mengmeng is awake or not, but She has other lives in her hands, so she probably won't die."

In the current atmosphere, Shi Chen felt that eating foie gras was no different from chewing wax. He tasted it, put down his knife and fork, and said with concern: "Xia Leyi said that we will enter the nightmare world after seven days. I remember when Haozi and that college student were called. Now, I mentioned new people and old people, what does that mean? So we will dream more than once?"

"Yeah." You Lixi lowered his head and opened WeChat, motioned for Shi Chen to scan his QR code, and then forwarded a post to him, "There are all in this refined post, the content is detailed and complete, and the teaching is free."

The content of the post is very rich. There are four dreams after mentioning, the time of each time, and the explanation about the difficulty level. It is very detailed, just like the introduction of the game strategy.Shi Chen glanced roughly, sliding his fingers down from time to time, it took a few minutes to understand the general idea, and his brows were more tightly wrinkled than before.

"Do we have to do this three or four times?" Shi Chen knocked on the bottom of the cigarette case, whether he dropped it or not, knocked out the cigarette holder, and directly pulled it out with his mouth closed.

Before he lit his cigarette, there was a knock on the door, "Excuse me sir, we can't smoke indoors here."

"Ah." Shi Chen took down the cigarette, stuffed it back into the cigarette case, and smiled slightly apologetically, his politeness was not his at all.

"I'm almost unlucky, but there are four more times. If you're lucky, it might be one time." You Lixi said immediately: "Then rush to cast a good tire."

"Damn it, can you speak something human?" Shi Chen said with blank eyes.

Holding the knife and fork in both hands, Xia Leyi stopped in mid-air, "It's okay, anyway, I'm following Brother Chen and Brother Xue, and they are here. In the next nightmare, I will follow them honestly, and I will definitely wake up alive."

No matter if no one mentioned it, since it was brought up, You Lixi felt that he still needed to remind him.

He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Wen Xue, be careful, it's not easy."

"Huh? I think he's pretty good." Xia Leyi said immediately.

Shi Chen didn't speak, but just nodded along, afraid that what he said would offend others, anyway, he hated hearing others talk about Wen Xue in this tone.

He didn't get along with Wen Xue for long, Wen Xue was an old man and a newcomer, he couldn't tell for sure, but he could be sure that it wasn't what You Lixi said, with ulterior motives.

"Anyway, he must be an old man. From the beginning to the end, I don't know what the purpose is." You Lixi didn't notice Shi Chen's face, and his words were still full of sarcasm.

Xia Leyi was considered half a fan of Wen Xue, so after hearing this, he helped to say something nice about Wen Xue.

Shi Chen remained silent, with his hands in his pockets, as if he was in a daze, but also seemed to be listening to the other two talking about Wen Xue, one doubted, the other justified, and neither of them convinced the other.

Later, the two said they were tired, so they ate quietly. In the silent box, only the sound of knives and forks touching each other could be heard for a long time.

After the waiter brought the desserts and put them in front of them, Shi Chen finally finished reading the refined post and calculated the time with his mobile phone. The whole process took more than a year, and the longer the interval, it was enough for them breathing room.

"So what we encounter in the future may not be so difficult every time?" Shi Chen grasped the key point and grasped the problem, "What is the basis for judging whether it is an old man or a newcomer?"

"Experience." You Lixi blurted out.

With that tone, Shi Chen almost cursed, saying it was like saying nothing.

Xia Leyi is usually inconspicuous, and when it is about his own safety, he has a very clear mind, so he interrupted and asked, "Is it a coincidence that we dreamed together this time?" Seeing You Lixi nodding, his heart sank, and he continued, "Then what can I do?" , together next time?"

"In most cases, they are separated. Of course, if the two people's intentions are relatively firm, there is a high probability that they will meet." You Lixi looked out the window, then put down the small spoon, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and sneered He smiled and said, "It's possible for you two to touch each other. As for Wen Xue, the time of next dream probably will be different from yours."

Shi Chen observed very carefully, and noticed You Lixi's strangeness, he also looked out the window, there was a black Porsche 911 parked on the side of the road, the street lights were dim and too dim, Shi Chen couldn't see the people in the car clearly.

"I know you?" Shi Chen said.

"I don't know you." You Lixi denied, then got up and said with a smile, "I'm leaving, thank you for your hospitality."

About 3 minutes later, You Lixi appeared outside the window. He walked to the Porsche, reached out to pull the door handle, knocked on the window, and sat on it after a while.

"He just said he didn't know that person." Xia Leyi realized something was wrong, and frowned, "Why did he lie to us?"

"Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know. Maybe the car owner told him not to talk about it." Shi Chen smiled, narrowed his eyes slightly, and lowered his head to take a sip of coffee. It was very bitter, and he didn't have the cup that Wen Xue bought. delicious.

After dinner, Xia Leyi took the initiative to pay the bill, and when he left at the door, he also said that he would meet Shi Chen for dinner in a few days.

Xia Leyi's thoughtfulness is too obvious, if he has to choose a partner, Shi Chen has a more suitable candidate in his mind.But now seeing Xia Leyi looking at him eagerly, Shi Chen didn't say a word of refusal, with an ambiguous attitude, he dismissed him first perfunctorily.

After parting from Xia Leyi, Shi Chen put his pocket in his pocket, turned and walked back, but when he arrived at the bus stop outside the city bureau, he didn't stop, but continued to walk for about a quarter of an hour, turned into a A path covered with sycamore leaves.

There are few pedestrians on the small road, and there are not many cars passing by. There are single-family old houses on both sides of the road, surrounded by gray walls full of age.The old bungalows on this road are one of the few property rights that can be bought and sold privately. Every time someone sells them, they will be bought soon, and some people even go so far as to raise the prices.

After walking along the path for about ten minutes, Shi Chen stopped outside the gate of an old western-style house with the gate closed. He looked up, only the attic on the top floor was lit.

In the darkness, this lamp was the only one that was on, and it looked deserted, making the owner of the room very lonely.

After staring at the computer for a long time, his head hurts badly. Wen Xue stood up and planned to walk to the window. He just stood by the window and looked down when he felt a "thump" in his heart.

The people outside the fence are in the shadows, even if you look carefully, you can only see the outline of sparks in front of the mouth, but Wen Xue only needs one glance to recognize who is the person standing outside the gate of his house. Let him clenched his fists involuntarily.

Not long after he lost his mind, Wen Xue opened the door system with his mobile phone.

"Come in." Wen Xue let go of the screen after speaking, sighed, and went downstairs to greet the first guest of this year in this bungalow.

Not long after Shi Chen walked in, the door behind him closed without a sound, and the sound could hardly be heard.The front yard of the house was very dark, and Shi Chen walked in almost by the feeling of his feet on the ground.

When Shi Chen walked halfway, the living room on the first floor was already brightly lit, as if to illuminate him.

Wen Xue was wearing casual gray sportswear, holding the doorknob, waiting for Shi Chen by the door.He usually lacks a pair of glasses, so he looks much softer. Because of his short-sightedness, he looks a little dazed.

"You have a bad habit of letting strangers into the house casually." Shi Chen stooped to take off his shoes, and said with a smile, "What if someone comes with a plan to do something wrong?"

"It's no wonder Captain Shi came to patrol at night. It turns out that the security in this area is poor." Wen Xue bent to pick up the things in the entrance, then closed the door and turned to walk to the side hall with lights.

Shi Chen was choked hoarse, and then said: "You are not surprised to see me at all."

Wen Xue folded the A4 paper in his hand, and stretched out his hand to return it to Shi Chen, "Keep it away, if you want to throw it outside, it will be bad for your reputation. The famous Shi team in Haimen City actually uses it for private business."

"Ah, I accidentally fell out just now. I held it in my hand before." Shi Chen took two big steps, quietly glanced at Wen Xue's face to make sure he was not angry, and said with a smile, "I saw that the address is relatively close. I came here just because I had nothing to do, I was a little hasty, it's a coincidence that I didn't think about it, you didn't go out at home."
