Whether we can get the taboo clues tonight, all bets are on the group of Chi Nan and Tang Yu.
No one expected that the emotional theme of 'sorrow', which was originally the least optimistic, turned out to be everyone's last hope. In classroom 103 of the boarding school, which was invisible to Chi Nan, the remaining nine sleepwalkers were nervously waiting for the last 6 minutes of the countdown. Like waiting for their final judgment.
In the immersive performance class, the torrential rain gradually subsided, and the sky was getting brighter, but the maid who was frightened had forgotten to put out the candle.
After the hostess was bitten off her neck and fell down, the male host's head kept biting and biting and gradually disappeared, and the couple's heads were intertwined in a strange posture, as if the hostess' body had two heads. Full of irony.
The male host's gray eyes were open persistently and sadly, as if he couldn't rest his eyes without biting off the lady's neck.
"Chi Nan, what are you doing...?"
It wasn't until Chi Nan walked towards the corpse that Tang Yu suddenly came back to his senses and asked in a trembling voice.
Chi Nan carefully avoided the blood on the ground, walked to the table and pulled a few tissues in his hand, finally crouched down in front of the two corpses, wrapped the blood-stained blade with a tissue, and carefully removed the boning knife from the mistress's hand. out.
He said in a low voice, "I probably guessed where [brother's head] is, and wanted to verify it."
After the blood stains on the boning knife were wiped clean, Chi Nan was still not satisfied. He turned to the maid: "Is there any alcohol?"
He had to sterilize the knife that had cut through the frozen carrion.
The maid has recovered from the shutdown state at this moment, and she directly took the spirits prepared for the hostess on the table before: "I just ran out of alcohol, I think the young master may need this."
"Thank you." Chi Nan took the fifty-proof spirit and poured half of the bottle on the blade for disinfection.
Tang Yu thought he was forced by the countdown to finally decide to dissect the belly of the dead hostess, gritted his teeth and said, "If you really can't do it, you can let me try, although I'm timid, I'm not so Afraid of bloody things..."
Of course, he was still afraid, but Chi Nan had done too much before, and he didn't want to be Ben's fuel bottle.
Chi Nan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of this."
After a pause, he said, "And this experiment may require me to complete it myself."
Chi Nan took the sterilized boning knife and walked towards the bathroom.
Tang Yu was completely stunned at this moment, didn't Chi Nan want to cut open the hostess' abdomen to verify? Why go straight away
Chi Nan stood in front of the mirror and took off his shirt neatly, revealing the deep and long scar on his left shoulder. Through the mirror, the surgical scar looked distorted and hideous.
Breathing slightly, he pointed the tip of the boning knife at the scar in the mirror.
If you follow the lines given, the logic that the younger brother, as an evil spirit killed by his mother, returns to his mother's stomach to carry out a revenge plan makes sense, but it is by no means the logic of 229.
If the other party is 229, they may hide here - this shoulder with scars on the body.
Where it ends is where it began, and the answer can only be found by going back to the end.
"Chi Nan, you...!" Tang Yu, who had guessed the meaning of Chi Nan's actions, exclaimed, and he also understood after watching the memory video... Chi Nan is going to cut the scar on his shoulder again and sacrifice his younger brother with the blood of his twin brother. Soul, so as to find the head as an important prop!
Although Chi Nan cannot perceive emotions, he is still very sensitive to pain.
He gritted his teeth and watched his movements in the mirror for a moment, until the tip of the knife sank into the flesh, and the blood dripped down the outline of the collarbone...
For a moment, the polished porcelain-white wash basin was stained red with blood, and the sweet scent of the blooming small white flowers by the mirror was even stronger.
Tang Yu looked away and couldn't bear to watch, but Chi Nan's hands became more and more agile. He quickly cut open all the wounds that had healed for many years, and opened the flesh to both sides. The wound was so deep that you could almost see the bones.
Chi Nan found that he could not feel any pain in this body tailored for the role. This feeling was very subtle. He could feel the cold and sharpness of the knife cutting the flesh, but there was no pain, as if it was not himself. Same.
An idea suddenly popped into Chi Nan's mind, the other party...that is, 229, will he feel pain because of his cutting action
But he doesn't think he needs to worry about 229, after all, this guy can laugh when he is shot through the heart by a bullet.
Seeing that the blood was almost there, Chi Nan methodically wiped off the blood stains on his fingers.
"May I be allowed to find you?" he whispered to the reflection in the mirror, taking off his glasses.
The 'Chi Nan' in the mirror suddenly flickered like a poor contact, and after a while, Chi Nan saw himself with green eyes again.
He remembered that the 'little brother' outside the door told him last night that he had made a perfect design for the repetition of the two brothers.
The so-called perfect design...is to swap each other and look at each other through the mirror
At the same time, the voice of the female teacher in the system was full of relief—
[Congratulations to the 'sorrow' theme group for finding an important item [brother's head], favorability +20, and now accumulative favorability of 90. ]
Receiving the system's prompt tone, Chi Nanding stared at 'self' in the mirror: "229, is that you?"
This time, the mirror image just honestly reflected his green eyes and questioning look, and there was no suspicious sign.
"Chi Nan, you've changed back again...!" Tang Yu looked at Chi Nan with green eyes in front of the sink in disbelief, swallowed hard and hesitated, "So who are you now...?"
Tang Yu, who had just watched the memory projection not long ago, was a little confused. He didn't understand whether the green-eyed man in front of him was the Chi Nan he knew originally, or the younger brother whose head was cut off by his mother in the story...
"It's still me." Chi Nanbian answered while using the gauze medicine handed over by the maid to clean the wound. Although it didn't hurt at all, letting the blood flow all the time was not a solution.
After a pause, he explained, "Since we opened the closet in the utility room that day, the soul of 'brother' has been hidden in the body of 'brother', so as long as the wound is opened, the soul of 'brother' is released, and I as The person who plays the 'brother' can change back to the appearance of green eyes... that is, to become the appearance of the 'brother', and the [brother's head] will naturally be found."
If it weren't for the clues, the story designer didn't need to let the 'brother' have the same green eyes as himself.
But why does the brother's character wear Ye Chang's glasses and his eyes are exactly the same as 229? Could it be that 229 used his brother's role to give him any hints? Or is it just this guy's bad taste
"So that's the case, but there are still the last 10 o'clock to feel the bottom..." Tang Yu finally smoothed it out, but before he finished speaking, the system's voice rang again—
[Students please hurry up, there are still 3 minutes before the get out of class ends, and the two students still have half an hour of performance time. Please find the last favor to trigger the plot as soon as possible, and complete this round of performance tests. ]
"There is not much time, but we have no clue now, and the system has not given any new prompts..."
Tang Yu frowned. He had a clear goal of [finding his head] and [approving his younger brother's affection] before, but this time the system didn't give any useful clues, and only coldly reminded them that the time was coming.
He is now like a desperate candidate whose exam is coming to an end, but the final question still has no idea.
After the important props are found and the truth of the story is revealed, what else needs to be done? Or what important information was missed earlier
Chi Nan, who had bandaged the wound, carefully wiped off the blood stains on his body. He raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror: "Will it be enough as long as we shed tears?"
He remembered that before the elevator door opened last night, the little guy outside the door emphasized again "Brother, I like the way you cry".
It's like the words that 229 often talks about.
And the fact of shedding tears just fits the theme of this performance class 'sorrow'. The system has also repeatedly mentioned that students participating in the performance test must sublimate the theme after the chase.
No matter how you push it, it seems that the only correct option is "tears".
In Chi Nan's blink of an eye, the green eyes in the mirror became darker, and finally turned into pure black.
The person in the mirror was not wearing glasses. Chi Nan looked at this familiar but somewhat unfamiliar appearance, and was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he felt that the grown-up You Yu was standing opposite him... or standing in the mirror. staring at himself.
Unexpectedly, the system rang again, and this time it was the voice of 229—
"Brother, it's not so easy to pass the level every time."
Chi Nan glanced at Tang Yu, who was silent next to him, and instantly determined that the system had turned on private chat mode for him this time.
In other words, in this story line, only the character played by Chi Nan can hear the voice of the 'brother', after all, this soul is now growing in his body, and its strength is rapidly increasing.
"So, are there any additional rules for the tears this time?" Chi Nan asked calmly and politely, his expression quickly returning to his face.
"My elder brother must truly shed tears for the loss of his younger brother, otherwise his younger brother's soul will not be able to rest in peace."
The guy in the glass was completely free from the shackles of common sense and had no self-consciousness to play a mirror image. He leaned forward with his hands on the sink.
Chi Nan greeted his half-smiling gaze: "How can it be considered true feelings?"
The guy in the mirror is full of interest: "For example, you need to mobilize your emotions and try to shed tears for 'me' without using other distractions such as sugar and physical touch."
As he said that, he smiled happily: "Brother, I won't help you cheat by holding down the tear mole this time."
Chi Nan: "…"
"You actually know this feeling, for example... when Candleman Town fired, and on the train to Dawn Base, when you asked Ruirui for lucky toffee, or when you returned to the North Third District alone When it was apartment 57, room 206."
The person in the mirror suddenly looked deeply at Chi Nan with a complicated and unpredictable look, and then smiled casually for a moment, "If I guessed correctly, right?"
Chi Nan suddenly realized at the moment of being scrutinized that everyone is afraid of dream-makers because dream-makers can understand the fears in the depths of human subconsciousness, and they will also use extremely beautiful methods to visualize these horrors, and then let them be. The human imagination allows the fear to grow infinitely, magnify, and finally engulf the body.
He used to have no fear, no fear of the dreamer's direct gaze, but now...
Chi Nan pursed his lips, and replied calmly, "So you've been spying on me since you were shot in the heart?"
The person in the mirror was stunned for half a second, then smiled half-truth: "Anyway, I have time."
Chi Nan: "Okay."
The person in the mirror: "Brother, time is running out, I'm afraid I won't find a way to shed tears..."
"It's you who should shed tears," Chi Nan said suddenly, looking directly at the person in the mirror, "the one with green eyes is the younger brother, and the one with black eyes is the older brother, isn't it?"
Man in the mirror: "That's right."
Chi Nan pointed to his green eyes in the mirror: "So, now I'm a younger brother."
The man in the mirror seemed to be choking, and now he raised his eyebrows slightly to look at Chi Nan, as if he thought it was more interesting.
"Brother, I like the way you cry," Chi Nan said expressionlessly, "so please, because I didn't fail in my acting class, can I apologise to you and cry, thank you."
He always speaks so politely, with a serious devotion that makes it hard to refuse.
The man in the mirror looked at him fixedly, and said 'oh'.
"Chi Nan, so you want to see me cry too."
