escape from nightmare game

The light in the corridor was very dim, and it was as damp as the room. The air had a strong smell of water, and the leakage from the crack of the door was pungent, making Wen Xue unable to help but cover his nose.But it didn't take long for him to open the door, and he quickly found the source of the crying. There was a little girl about five years old outside their room, sitting on her knees, holding a plush doll in her arms, buried her face in the doll, and was crying there.

Wen Xue looked at the blood on the bottom of the girl's feet, as if he hadn't seen it, pulled up his suit pants, squatted down and touched the girl's sticky head.

"Did you feel wronged for not going home in the middle of the night?" Wen Xue spoke softly, as if petting a kitten or puppy, and said softly, "What's your name? Where do you live? Uncle will take you home, okay?" good?"

The girl wore twin ponytails and a red jacket with a fashionable style, half of her face was buried in the toy, only two round eyes were exposed to look at Wen Xue.

The little girl didn't speak, and Wen Xue didn't ask any further questions.

In the dim corridor, one big and one small stared at each other, the picture seemed to be frozen, it was indescribably weird.

The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time, when a woman's call came from downstairs: "Tian'er! Tian'er, where are you?"

"Your name is Tian'er?" Wen Xue was a little numb on his knees at the moment, and he didn't mind the water on the ground, so he just sat by the door, like a confidant, and said with a smile: "Your mother is calling you, hurry back Bar."

Tian'er nodded obediently, with two lines of blood and tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, she stood up holding the doll, only slightly taller than Wen Xue was sitting.

"Uncle, here you are." Tian'er lowered her head, holding the plush toy in both hands and handing it to Wen Xue, "For you."

"Thank you." Wen Xue took the toy without hesitation. The moment he got it, he was surprised that the toy was actually dry.

"I'm leaving, bye." Tian'er's voice was very soft, and she lowered her head the whole time, so that she couldn't see her whole face.She said goodbye several times, using a tune that echoed in the empty corridor, as if countless people were talking.

She waved her hand at Wen Xue, and turned around barefoot to walk towards the stairs. At the moment she turned around, Wen Xue seemed to see some light reflected from Tian'er's mouth, but it was difficult to see clearly in the current environment.

Until Tian'er disappeared at the top of the stairs, Wen Xue still held the toy and didn't move. Outsiders seemed to be indifferent, and their eyes were fixed on the row of bloody footprints on the ground, as if they were thinking about something.

The conversation outside the door stopped a few minutes ago. At the same time, the lights in the room returned to their original brightness. Compared with the half-closed corridor outside the door, it seemed that the outside was particularly dark.

Shi Chen was worried about Wen Xue, so he didn't care about Tu Wanzi's obstruction. He walked to the door in three steps and two steps. Before he put his hand on the doorknob, he was hit by the door pushing in and hit his right shoulder.

"Did you get hurt?" Wen Xue didn't care about explaining, and eagerly looked at Shi Chen's shoulder.

Shi Chen was wearing a T-shirt with a large collar. Wen Xue was so strong that his right shoulder was completely exposed. The injury on his shoulder was fine, it was slightly red, and it will heal after a while.

"Hmm." Tu Wanzi stood behind Shi Chen, cleared his throat, "Look at the occasion, someone is here."

Originally, it was just a simple concern, but it immediately changed in the mouth of Tu Wanzi.For example, Shi Chen's conspicuous and beautiful collarbone has turned into a fleshy bone, emitting bursts of meaty aroma, attracting the hungry Wen Xue to salivate, stretching out his hand to snatch it, wishing he could feast on it.Not to mention, the two people who were intertwined with each other suddenly became embarrassed, waving their hands, let them go, it seemed like they were trying to cover up.

Wen Xue hesitated for a moment, then slowly put down his hands, and helped Shi Chen pull up his collar, explaining what happened outside the door concisely.

Tu Wanzi reconfirmed after hearing it, did not express any opinion, shrugged and walked out, and even closed the door behind him, after a while there was the sound of the door opening in the next room.

The temperature in the room seemed to have risen a few degrees in vain, and the two people who were standing beside the kang were so hot that they felt a little hot from the fire of the prairie fire.

Shi Chen glanced at Wen Xue who seemed to be stepping on a nail board from the corner of his eye, and the teasing words flowed in his throat, and finally he sighed kindly, swallowed all the words, and patted Wen Xue on the shoulder.

"Do you sleep inside or outside?" Shi Chen broke the silence and asked, before Wen Xue answered, he slept on the kang bed.

Wen Xue placed the plush toy on the head of the bed, lay down on his back, and said without thinking, "Could the NPCs in this world assign wrong tasks?"

"What?" Shi Chen said.

His mind was full of unspeakable Eighteen Forbidden content, and he was so absorbed in thinking that he didn't hear Wen Xue's words for a while.

"No, go to bed early, good night." Wen Xue turned over, raised his hand to turn off the incandescent light switch, hesitated for a moment, and lay on his side with his back to Shi Chen.

The night was spent peacefully, with no wind or waves, the weather was fine in the early morning, and two birds were singing, which made people feel like they were coming to an ancient village for vacation.

Shi Chen and Wen Xue were the last to go downstairs, and saw the other seven people sitting around the table having breakfast, but they were all far away from the girl who came back last, talking very softly, chattering away.

The ancient well not far from the small building is the only source of domestic water in the village. At this time, the place is full of people, as if someone is crying.

"What's wrong there?" Shi Chen moved his head slightly, nodded towards the well, and patted the table in front of Tuwanzi with his hands.

"I don't know. When I came down, I saw them fishing there. They refused, so I went alone. I was worried that I would be in danger, so I waited for you to come." Tu Wanzi looked back, gnawed on the compressed biscuits, with disgust on his face .

Shi Chen unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip to sleep, raised Wen Xue's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look?"

Wen Xue nodded, and didn't invite Tuwanzi, who was sitting beside him in a messy air vent, to accompany Shi Chen.Seeing that she was being left behind, Tu Wanzi followed behind with a mutter, and did not forget to put on her damp military coat before going out.

Thirty or so people gathered by the well, and they also opened their mouths, chattering louder than sparrows.Shi Chen stood in the crowd for a few minutes without opening his mouth to ask what happened, just by listening to those fragmented words, he could piece together the general content.

Dead, dead is the son of the village chief.

The peasant woman howling with the boy in her arms was the wife of the village head. She was holding her son who was dripping in the cold weather. The boy was swollen like he was gassed to death. Not very pleasant.

The people in the village looked strange, some were whispering on the side, and some had slightly curled their mouths, seeming to be secretly delighted.

The little boy didn't close his eyes until he died.

At this time, the village head stood beside his son's body, expressionless, as if someone who had nothing to do with him had died.

"How could it be people from this world who died first?" Shi Chen happened to be able to see the boy's body clearly, and he caught his eye a little.

Tu Wanzi rolled his eyes from side to side, making sure that none of the villagers paid attention to the three of them, so he calmed down and whispered, "It should be the dead ghost."

"You mean to die for us?" Shi Chen said.

"Probably." Tu Wanzi poked his head out, looked at the corpse carefully, his eyes narrowed, and he turned around and said, "He, what's on his mouth? It seems to be wired."

"His mouth was sewn with fishing line." Wen Xue's tone remained calm, and he shook his hands unconsciously, "It's the same as the little girl named Tian'er last night."

Shi Chen was surprised and said: "So he died for us. Then... if you didn't open the door last night, the people who fished up in the well today should be some of us."

It was an unbearably cold day, Shi Chen wrapped his military overcoat tightly, couldn't help but take out his cigarette, and lit it with his hand to block the wind.

Just after taking a puff of cigarette, he suddenly thought of something, walked to the well and looked in.With just one glance, Shi Chen's breathing stopped for a moment, his facial features immediately wrinkled into a ball, his hand holding the cigarette trembled instantly, and when he walked down, he didn't pay attention to his feet, the snow was slippery, and he almost tripped over him.

Wen Xue quickly supported Shi Chen, pulled him to a safe place, and took a deep look at the well.

Wen Xue couldn't care about what was in the well right now, and stretched out his hand to comfort Shi Chen: "Is there still a corpse in the well? Do you see what it looks like? Is it the newcomer?"

Shi Chen nodded silently, "The well is very deep, I can't see the face clearly, but judging by the clothes she wears, it looks like her."

"If she died last night, who is the person who broke into the small building?" Wen Xue frowned.

The north wind was blowing bitterly, standing for this little time, Tu Wanzi couldn't bear it anymore, stomped on the spot for a long time, and said with trembling lips: "Don't care about her life, now I will treat her as a dead person, so stay away from her. There shouldn’t be any clues here, let’s go back first, it’s too cold outside.”

Shi Chen smoked half of the cigarette, pinched his head and stuffed it back into the cigarette case, and nodded.

When Wen Xue turned around, he suddenly stopped and did not move. He turned his head to look at the boy whose mouth was swollen and swollen, and saw that his eyes were staring like he was looking at the sky.

He stared at Shi Chen for a full half a minute, and when he heard Shi Chen's urging, he turned his head in response, and chased after Shi Chen with hesitation.

While Wen Xue was leaving, the little boy seemed to be blown by the wind, his head tilted in the direction they left, his eyes fixed on Wen Xue's back, his empty eyes seemed to be full of unwillingness and resentment.

When they returned to the temporary residence, those who hadn't dared to go out looked eagerly at them. When the three of them entered the room, they felt the same attention.

Wen Xue glanced at the isolated girl, and patted Shi Chen on the back as if nothing had happened.

"She's still there." Wen Xue moved his lips, almost speaking out of breath.

Shi Chen hummed in response.

"What happened over there? Who died?" Apan seemed to have bad eyesight, and kept wandering, looking at the girl endlessly.

"No, it was the son of the village chief who died." Shi Chen told them the situation at Wanjing in a straightforward manner.

Some of the old people in the team have only participated in it once or twice. They are still at the stage of half understanding the dream world, and they are not fully used to the dream world, and they are even more afraid of death.So when they heard that someone had died, their frozen red faces immediately turned pale, only Yu Zijie was particularly excited.

Huang Li raised his hand and patted the armrest of the wooden sofa, got up with a 'chuckle', opened and closed his nose, and said after a while, "Are you all full? Let's borrow two axes and go up the mountain to chop peach trees."

"Chopping peach trees?" A Pan drank the porridge in the bowl, "What do you want to cut peach trees? Do you know the steps of offering sacrifices to mountain gods?"

"It's written in ancient books, haven't you read it?" Judging from the number of times Huang Li participated, he is considered an old seniority, and he speaks with prestige among the group of people, "Go find an axe. After cutting down the tree, we have to carve the peach wood into Humanoid, I asked the village chief, and he said that there are hundreds of people in the village, and we can't finish this in three or four days."

Wen Xue and Shi Chen looked at each other, trying to stop Huang Li from acting recklessly.

The first one to speak out was Tu Wanzi, who was squatting by the charcoal basin when he came back, "Don't be in a hurry, the content in the ancient book may not be correct, we should look for other clues."

"Look at that, it's a waste of time, you waste it yourself. You also said that you have participated in it five times, and the clues are in front of you, but you still don't believe it, so you have to waste time." Huang Li said stubbornly: "Get out of the way."
