"What do you know?"
After Mu Jiashi reacted, he also noticed that the youngest who looked on behalf of the dead ghost was the first to attack.
He originally had doubts about the dead ghosts and selfish ghosts, but now seeing the strange expressions on the dead ghosts deepened his doubts.
In fact, they do not trust each other. However, at least the third child has not deceived the other two people, and even when the selfish ghost entered the dark bedroom, he also told them the eight numbers that they worked so hard and fought back with their lives.
In this case, the selfish ghost and the concealment of the dead ghost made the third child feel deeply angry.
Especially-just now in the car, for the dead ghosts, they also spoke plausibly about their last nightmare experience. Is that true? Is it fabricated
Under the question of the third child, he couldn't say anything for the dead ghost, but his performance like this was already solid, and he really concealed something.
Xu Beijin, who watched this scene through the live broadcast room, couldn't help but want to say something to the audience. Although the picture on his side is in the small window in the lower right corner, he only needs to select "Anchor Voiceover" and he can talk to the audience freely.
Within a short period of time, he developed the habit of dialogue and sharing ideas with the audience. On the one hand, the audience's request gave Xu Beijin the anchor's consciousness. On the other hand... to be honest, this also made Xu Bei, who has always been alone, aware of the excitement.
But the moment before he could speak, he realized that Ringo was still there, so he could only swallow the words.
Xu Beijin: "..."
… never mind.
In fact, at this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room was very lively.
"Sure enough!! There really is a problem with these two people!!"
"I don't know if there is a problem with this or the other over there."
"Hurry up and ask!! Hey, I really want to know what they are hiding..."
"Eight minutes, here it is."
"?! The reasoning boss reminded me! In other words, is it over in the bedroom?"
"The North Director is at work!"
Xu Bei couldn't help but smile, and he switched the screen to the dark bedroom. At first glance, he was taken aback.
There is no one in the bedroom at all!
The door was open, and a little light came in, making the live broadcast screen that was supposed to be night vision normal.
The audience cast question marks on the public screen one after another.
Xu Beijin glanced at the list on the right. In different scenarios, the names of the taskers were listed in different places. Seven of the names were in the service area, and only one name was under the highway.
Xu Beijin switched his perspective to the highway.
The selfish ghost is driving a car, and is engaged in a chase battle with the car of the man in black who does not know why it appears behind him again.
The driving skills of the selfish ghost are obviously not very good.
In the fourth round of the nightmare, the speed of the man in black did not improve much, but because the selfish ghost didn’t know much about cars, he picked a car with poor acceleration ability, so the man in black’s car swayed. The ground followed behind and couldn't get rid of it at all.
Sweat oozes from the selfish ghost's forehead, and he trembles with swearing muttering to himself. He whispered: "I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."
Xu Beijin first looked at the chasing situation from the perspective of God, and then zoomed in and looked at the situation of the selfish ghost in the car—the next second, he was stunned, because there was not only one selfish ghost in the car. people.
On the back seat, there was still a shivering little boy cowering!
Xu Beijin widened his eyes subconsciously, and all kinds of information were integrated in his mind in an instant. He seems to already know the truth of this nightmare, at least part of the truth. but…
What's the ending
At this moment, among the audience in the live broadcast room, I am afraid that the reasoning guy alone can keep up with Xu Beijin’s thoughts, but at this moment he is also posting a bullet screen on the public screen: "No, no, why is this guy driving? Go to the service area? What does he know?"
The rest of the audience thought they were lovely, but they had no heads.
"My brain is not enough to process such complex information."
"Why does this little boy appear? Is this the owner of the nightmare?"
"Hey, it looks pretty normal. It's not like the boss of the doll shop before... abnormal."
"It feels a bit pitiful for him to shrink there... Wait, he's not a bad guy, right?"
"Are you getting the'The owner of the nightmare is a bad guy' PTSD?"
"Try to sort it out: This guy reported the number in the dark bedroom before. It should have reported the correct number. So, the correct eight-digit number will let this little boy show up?"
"But where did this little boy emerge from? There was nothing in the bedroom before?"
"Wait... It's not that there is nothing, it can't be opened!"
"Grass, it's the closet! He is hiding in the closet!"
Seeing this barrage, Xu Bei nodded unconsciously in agreement.
Yes, the little boy is hiding in the closet. And when the taskers report the correct number, the wardrobe door can be opened—or the little boy can come out by himself.
It is not so much to report the number, as it is to report the password.
At this point, everyone can understand it well, but...
"Why take the little boy to the service area?"
"Also, why should the little boy hide in the closet?"
because…
He was scared.
Xu Bei looked down and answered this question in his heart.
When Mujia Shi, who came to find Ringo, stepped into the bookstore, what he saw was this scene.
The handsome, expressionless man, with his eyes down, his complexion darkened. He was sitting behind the counter with a glass of boiled water in front of him.
Maybe it was sleepiness, maybe Ringo's arrival made him feel embarrassed, maybe this nightmare made him feel uncomfortable, in short, his face was not very good-looking, and the whole person exuded a gloomy aura.
This made Mu Jiashi stunned, but it was not because of Xu Beijin's appearance or his temperament.
He stared at Xu Bei for a while, his eyes flickered-he recognized the narrow-building resident.
He once dealt with him.
The other party is the owner of the bookstore, always wearing a white shirt, with thick dark circles on his face, messy hair, handsome appearance... These are very eye-catching features, so even if he has been in contact with him a long time ago, now the pastoralist Castrol still recognized Xu Beijin at a glance.
At that time, Mu Jiashi had a deep impression of Xu Beijin and had a strong curiosity.
He once wanted to enter the opponent's nightmare very much. After the failure, the other party actually gave him a clue about other nightmares, which also made him quite puzzled.
Why would a bookstore owner who is simple and rudimentary master other nightmare clues? Why hasn't he been asleep and prevented the tasker from entering his nightmare
also…
Mu Jiashi tilted his head and glanced at Ringo.
Why does Ringo appear here? Did he take the initiative to find this resident of the narrow building? He knew him, but still said...
Even though there were so many questions flashing across Mu Jiashi's brain in an instant, he was just a little startled.
Indeed, he used to be very interested in Xu Beijin, he was even interested in Ringo, and he was enthusiastically discussing with his friends in the Nuggets team whether it was possible to bring Ringo into his team. …
But those are all in the past.
It cannot be said that the failure at the higher level of the narrow building destroyed him, even though he knew that many taskers thought so. However, his ability and brain are still there, and a comeback is not unexpected.
It can only be said that earlier, when he was determined to leave the Nuggets organization, he had already deviated from the trajectory of his original life.
Narrow floor...
He couldn't help sighing in his heart, and then condensed all his thoughts, and he didn't even say hello to Xu Beijin who was also present.
He said to Ringo, "Big brother, we plan to go back to the promenade and have a look. Are you going back with us?"
Realizing that the selfish ghosts and the dead ghosts have concealed something, and the dead ghosts died without speaking, they can only choose to go back to the long corridor and the dark bedroom to see what happened.
Moreover, the estimated eight minutes have passed, and the nightmare of this round is still going on. In other words, the selfish ghost must have reported the correct number, so it was not killed by the man in black.
That being the case, will there be new changes in the bedroom
They have to find out after all.
The eldest and second brother still don’t know which corner of the service area they are in. After discussing with Ding Yi and the youngest, Mu Jiashi decided to divide the troops. Mu Jiashi and the youngest went back to the bedroom, but Ding Yi stayed.
But when he was walking outside, Mu Jiashi saw Ringo and decided to talk to the big man.
Although Mu Jiashi was a little listless, but if he wanted him to paddle and fish in a nightmare, he could not do it if he knew it but didn't do anything.
And his team-oriented character, at this juncture, made him still worry about the team members who are outside of Lino's position, but whose every move affects tremendously.
… Yes, in Mu Jiashi's view, Ringo is of course also a member of this nightmare team. At least, Ringo helped them in the previous nightmare.
This is much better than selfish ghosts and survivors.
Even if Mu Jia realized that he was in such a frustrated state, he couldn't help being dissatisfied with the two people's actions.
However, compared to the angry third child, Mu Jiashi was reluctant to show such emotions on his face. Even at this moment, he didn't fully tell Ringo about the causes and consequences of the whole thing, but only told them about their current plans.
In the bookstore, Xu Beijin and Ringo looked at Mu Jiashi at the same time.
The arrival of Mu Jiashi also involved the perspective of the live broadcast room. As a result, the audience also discovered that, at some point, Ringo appeared next to their anchor again.
"Hey, why is this big guy with Beibei?"
"When Beibei started broadcasting for the first time, he came to Beibei and said that he wanted to fight with Beibei. This time he came to look for it again... It's weird."
"I remember... his name is Ringo?"
"Hahahaha, this little apple is obsessed with us."
"? Little Apple?"
"Lingo can refer to two plants, one is apple, and the other is sugar apple-from Encyclopedia."
"Grass, little apple."
Xu Beijin caught a glimpse of the barrage, and tried his best to not make himself laugh.
Linking Ringo's image with Apple... it's too funny. But the name is also true, a bit casual.
Ringo didn't know that Xu Beijin and the audience were teasing his name. He glanced loosely at Mu Jiashi and said lazily, "No, I'm not going."
Mu Jiashi nodded and was about to leave. He looked at Xu Beijin, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said hello, then his eyes fell and saw the newspaper on the shelf in front of the counter.
Just like the former ponytail girl, he also instinctively realized that the main brain NE can't casually put some paper magazines, books, etc. in the nightmare. The information on it must be useful.
He stepped forward subconsciously and picked up the top newspaper. His gaze was fixed on one of the news items.
"The town was shocked by the murder of his wife, and the corpse rushed into the sewer, and the ten-year-old kid was spared from hiding in the closet!"
Mu Jiashi's eyes narrowed slightly. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't continue to look at it. Instead, he looked up at Xu Beijin and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this newspaper?"
"No money, you take it away." Xu Beijin shook his head, showing a little smile, "I remember you."
Mu Jiashi was taken aback, and he responded hastily: "Thank you...not only for this newspaper, but also at that time..."
"No thanks." Xu Bei pointed to the anxious youngest outside the door, "I think your companion is still waiting for you."
Mu Jiashi looked back and murmured: "Yes..." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Boss, can I go to the narrow building to talk to you?"
He knew where Xu Beijin's bookstore was.
However, the premise is that their nightmare this time did not come to a true ending. If there is a real ending, then this meeting may be indefinitely.
Xu Beijin nodded and said, "Of course."
Mu Jiashi took a deep look at him, then took the newspaper and turned and left.
He thought that the reason why he was interested in this narrow-building resident was because... Aside from the special features of his inability to sleep and like to drink beverages, Xu Beijian couldn't be more normal.
However, the residents of narrow buildings have never been like this. They are crazy, disorderly, and their words and deeds are full of chaos, despair and numb self-rejection.
They are like a piece of mold in this dilapidated narrow building, some rotten and smelly things, and some dirty things that are shunned by the task force; not... not Xu Beijin.
He drove a bookstore, drank a drink, and wore a shirt that was washed to the ground-although his hair was messy and not well managed, it was still clean. His eyes are always deep and calm to all outsiders.
If he used to be more mad, more evil, and weird, then those taskers probably wouldn't be interested in his nightmares. There are so many residents in the narrow building, but why do the taskers rush to him
Because he is too normal.
All residents in the narrow building have flaws and faults, but Xu Bei has none.
Residents of such a special narrow building, of course, will attract the attention of the task person, wondering if there are any secrets related to the narrow building. Even through him, they might be able to leave the narrow building.
At least, that's what Mu Jiashi once thought.
Mu Jiashi, who has just left the gold nugget team, is eager to use something to prove the correctness of his behavior. He chose Xu Beijin, a resident of the narrow building. Although he failed in the end, he also managed to go to a higher floor.
Although after that, he failed again. And this time the failure may be... forever
When Mu Jiashi left the bookstore, Xu Bei stared at his back, thoughtfully.
Ringo's voice sounded faintly in his ears, and he said, "You would rather let him go to your house as a guest than fight with me?"
Xu Beijin: "..."
He recovered and looked at Ringo with a headache, not knowing how to explain it for a while.
Ringo said, "I can contract your drinks for a lifetime, can he?" He said naturally, "He certainly can't. So, why don't you agree to fight with me?"
Xu Bei was full of words and stopped. He thought, Ringo's world... really simple.
In Ringo's eyes, fighting this kind of thing is like a daily greeting.
It was as if Mu Jiashi wanted to visit Xu Beijin, and Xu Beijin agreed; Ringo invited Xu Beijin to fight, and Xu Beijin should agree, anyway, Ringo thought so.
Xu Bei thought for a while and said, "But for me, fighting is different from being a normal guest."
"Oh, then can I go to your house?"
Ringo's idea is still very simple. If you visit Xu Beijin in the narrow building, you might find out why Xu Beijin is reluctant to fight with him, and you can even find a breakthrough.
Facing Lino's sincere question, Xu Bei choked.
He thought of his countless refusal of Ringo’s invitation, and showed no mercy; and just now he agreed to Mu Jiashi’s visit, and now Ringo made the same request...
Xu Bei hesitated again and again, and finally said, "It's okay."
When he said this, he felt as if he had opened the cage of the beast.
Ringo's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile. He asked: "Where do you live?"
Xu Beijin said his address.
Ringo was even more happy: "It's so close to my house."
Xu Bei silently thought in his heart, Lino, when he laughed, was too misleading. He looked good and gentle, but... Who would dare to believe that under such a skin, it was actually a crazy and fierce beast. Woolen cloth
Just like, who can believe that Xu Bei has such sharp eyebrows and deep aura, all taskers think he hides a great secret, but he is essentially a harmless and upright good person. Woolen cloth
No one would believe it.
Xu Bei could not help but sigh.
He recovered and realized that after the nightmare was over, he was about to face the visit of two old acquaintances.
Leaving aside Mu Jiashi, he and Ringo have actually known each other for a long time. It's just that every time he met, Ringo just tirelessly invited him to fight, so he almost knew nothing about Ringo.
Since the taskmaster learned that he is a monster that can't sleep and lost his curiosity about his nightmares, Xu Beijin's bookstore hasn't been so lively for a long time.
Suddenly, Xu Beijin became a little nervous.
He wondered, is it necessary to unpack some drinks that he is not willing to drink to entertain these two guests
Mu Jiashi put aside things related to Xu Beijin for the time being, and while walking out with the third child, his eyes fell on the newspaper in his hand.
This piece of news is probably a rare big news in a small town, so the headline is shocking and the content of the report is very lengthy.
Mu Jiashi read it quickly, extracted a few pieces of information, and compared it with the words of the supermarket cashier just now.
In contrast, the news in the newspaper did have a few more pieces of information. For example, after the murderer killed his wife, he also chopped up his wife’s body with a machete and flushed it from the toilet into the sewer. Corpse.
For another example, when a neighbor smelled a strange smell, heard an unknown and loud noise and called the police, when the police broke in, the murderer was nowhere to be found. The 10-year-old boy was hiding in the closet and was not found until the police arrived.
However, the newspaper did not mention the whereabouts of the little boy afterwards.
The newspaper also stated that the murderer has not been captured yet, and the residents of the town are reminded to pay attention to their personal safety; if suspicious persons are found, they should report to the police immediately.
Mu Jiashi handed the newspaper to the third child and asked him to check the news on it. He thought thoughtfully, it seemed that this was the background story of this nightmare.
The owner of the nightmare is the little boy. That dark bedroom should be the scene of the crime. The howling of the woman they heard in the second round of nightmare is probably a repetition of the murder.
But what does the promenade, parking lot, and service area mean
With so many people in the service area, will anyone else know some relevant information
Mu Jiashi hopes to have. He and the third child went back to the bedroom to take a look, while Ding Yi continued to look for information in the service area. Hope she can find relevant clues.
At this time, the youngest had quickly read the news and found important clues. He almost blurted out: "Closet!"
"Yes." Mu Jiashi nodded invisibly, "the little boy is hiding in the closet."
The third child whispered: "We haven't found where the owner of the nightmare is. Is he hiding in that closet all the time? How can we get him out... Wait, report the count..."
He murmured subconsciously: "Is it the way to report the number?"
"We still don't know what the difficulty of this nightmare is." Mu Jiashi sighed and said softly, "If you just report the number, it would be too easy. This nightmare involves eight taskers, which may be the lowest. The number of people may be the highest. But in any case, it is already considered to be too many."
Generally speaking, the average number of taskers in a nightmare is around five.
Eight taskers can be said to be a very large number. This usually means that the difficulty of this nightmare is higher.
The third child pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
He wanted to say that the three of them were together and wanted to try to enter this nightmare at the same time. But the other five people, including Mu Jiashi, couldn't figure out why they suddenly appeared.
The little boy walks strangely in the narrow building, always hiding in hidden corners shivering.
They also found out where the little boy's house was by accident. Before that, they had never even heard in the narrow building that a tasker had entered this little boy's nightmare.
But in this case, it is incredible that there are five other people entering the nightmare.
The third child couldn't help thinking, would this have something to do with Ringo
They used to chase the little boy in the narrow building. The boss said that he saw the little boy disappear near Ringo's house with his own eyes, so the three of them wandered around Ringo's house.
After being discovered and driven by Ringo, they eventually failed to find the little boy.
In the narrow building, Ringo was the only tasker who, at least they knew, might have had contact with the little boy.
But the problem is that everyone knows that Ringo has always been alone. Even if he might enter this nightmare because of his contact with the little boy, where did the other four taskers come from
Faintly, the third child felt uneasy.
I have to say that this kind of anxiety has spread in his heart when he realized that the selfish ghosts and the dead ghosts were hiding something.
He even suspected Mu Jiashi who was right next to him at the moment.
The two of them hurriedly walked through the interior of the service area and came outside. The car they drove when they came was parked on the open space, and the two were about to get in.
Suddenly, there was a sudden braking sound.
The youngest and Mu Jiashi looked over at the same time.
They saw the selfish ghost getting out of the car and pulling out a little boy from the back seat.
