A few minutes later, Sister Jiang and Sister Jiang came to the door of Room 408.
They didn't speak all the way. Shuang Sister Jiang is thinking about where the muscular man will put the prop card, while Shuang Sister Jiang is completely out of fear.
Although this is only an emergency passage, the stairwell of this high-end apartment building still looks very elegant. The light is bright and does not have the gloomy feeling of the usual escape passage. The green escape passage sign does not have the special and fluorescent color. Eye-catching.
But Shuangmei Jiang felt uncomfortable inexplicably.
She knew it was because she had not escaped from the death and fear before. At that moment, she suddenly realized that several years had passed since she died in a nightmare last time.
They stopped. It took several years to stop. They almost forgot the fear and despair of struggling in the nightmare.
This is a nightmare... Not only the nightmare of the residents of the narrow building, but also the nightmare of their group of taskers.
Finally, Jiang Shuangmei took a deep breath. She calmed down slowly, because she realized that this was not a time to make her fear and fear. In other words, she finally realized where they were.
Here is a nightmare. Even if she is scared, what good is it
When she went crazy in the lobby on the first floor just now, the rest of the taskers didn't abandon her because she got in the way. Maybe it was because she still had a normal sister.
Shuangmei Jiang lowered her head and smiled bitterly, thinking that she is indeed... She is indeed, relying too much on her sister.
Sister Jiang didn't know anything about the psychological activities of her twin sisters. Perhaps it should be said that she has guessed, but she will not really put those things in her mouth.
Even if they are twin sisters, even if they have nothing to talk about, even if they depend on each other in a narrow building, they are still two independent individuals. Sister Jiang has no desire to control her twin sister, only a desire to protect.
At this time, she had no time to think about Jiang Shuangmei's emotions. She successfully opened the door of 408 with the public code.
This made her feel slightly startled, because she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. In the last round of nightmares, when she left her apartment and wanted to go back again, she found that even though the fingerprint identification was successful, the door still shut her out.
Do I have to use a public password to enter, or is there something wrong with the smart password lock of her apartment
Sister Jiang thoughtfully, took this matter to heart, then walked in the door, and carefully scanned the apartment.
The layout of this apartment is exactly symmetrical to 807 where she is.
She walked into this apartment and searched through boxes and cabinets. Sister Jiang still froze at the door, preparing herself psychologically. Sister Jiang didn't urge her, but rummaged in silence.
After ten seconds, Jiang Shuangmei finally stepped into this apartment.
At that moment, she seemed to smell the breath of death.
There was a glance, the moment she walked into this door, she looked at her. At that moment, Shuangmei Jiang seemed to have died again... She trembled her lips, her eyes wandering in this apartment.
This time, which furniture is looking at her again? !
Jiang Shuangmei plucked up her courage, her eyes were almost cracked, and she searched the entire apartment carefully, even ignoring her sister who was still looking for an item card.
In the end, Jiang Shuangmei fixed her eyes on the lamps on the ceiling.
The lamp... just above her head. Shine silently and smoothly. Obviously it is used for lighting, but at this time, it seems that the light itself is a kind of shadow.
It looked at her silently.
There is no such kind of resentment that Jiang Shuangmei felt in apartment 1104. On the contrary, this lamp with warm yellow light seems to be as calm and gentle as the color of light it emits.
Really... Jiang Shuangmei shook her head in disbelief.
But that feeling still hasn't faded away. She still felt that the gaze from the light, even... there was a warm feeling.
She shivered suddenly.
"... Both?"
Sister Jiang turned around and was about to say something, but when she saw Jiang Shuangmei's strange expression, she couldn't help asking.
Shuangmei Jiang said in fear: "Sister... don't you have the feeling of being watched?"
Sister Jiang hesitated, then shook her head.
"How is it possible!" Jiang Shuangmei exclaimed, "Is it only looking at me?!"
Sister Jiang walked to her and touched her long hair: "Calm down, Shuangshuang. What kind of furniture is it?"
Jiang Shuangmei hesitated for a moment, then looked at the lamps on the ceiling. It was a round-shaped lamp, like a full moon, but also like a human eye.
Sister Jiang also looked at the lamp.
She finally said, "If you're really scared, just stand at the door, okay?"
Jiang Shuangmei was a little unconvinced. What her sister meant was clearly that she didn't believe what she said. Maybe Sister Jiang thought that her sister was suspicious because of her previous death, and she had the illusion that something was watching her.
After all, Sister Jiang did not feel any gaze.
She sighed slightly tiredly in her heart, and she didn't know how to comfort Shuangmei Jiang. She stared sideways at this apartment... She had already searched in the living room carefully, but couldn't find the two prop cards.
She guessed that most muscle men would store the two item cards separately.
And this apartment was almost empty, and there was not much room to store things. What I have to say...
Sister Jiang thoughtfully walked into the bathroom, and after looking around, opened the toilet tank cover. After a few seconds, she reached out and took out a prop card from the bottom of the toilet tank.
She shook the water in her hand, but smiled triumphantly.
Hidden in this kind of place... It's not hard to find.
With this thought in mind, she continued to look around in this apartment. Kitchen, dining room, bedroom... This time, no matter how she looked for it, she couldn't find it.
Now the previous complacency completely disappeared, she frowned, and wondered a little bit incomprehensibly.
And Jiang Shuangmei still froze at the door.
That sight... The sight from above, still staring at her. You see, after all, human beings cannot see the heart of their heads, nor can they see their backs.
So, if something is really looking at the top of your head or back, then you don't know what the other person is looking at.
Jiang Shuangmei lowered her eyes and trembled. She did not dare to move, nor did she dare to talk to her sister. She seemed to be back to 1104.
Although the sight is gentle and calm, Jiang Shuangmei doesn't believe it.
But... After a long time, in the silence, Jiang Shuangmei moved her stiff legs.
Nothing really happened.
She took a deep breath, trembling, and looked up at the lamp. Just above her head, obliquely forward, it was shining brightly. She stared at the lamp.
And the lamp stared at her. After a long time, there was a hint of urgency and encouragement in that gaze.
what
Shuangmei Jiang's eyes widened, thinking that she was probably crazy.
But a few minutes later, when they took off the lampshade, peeled off the tape, and got the prop card that was glued to the ceiling, the two sisters looked at each other suspiciously... What is this
Shuangmei Jiang swallowed, and stiffly said: "It... he, is he reminding us?"
Sister Jiang put back the lampshade and gently wiped the dust for him.
Later, she said: "This shows that even if the furniture is refined, there are good and bad." She was silent for a moment, "Are there any facilities in this apartment building that can talk? Maybe we can..."
They looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly said in unison: "Elevator!"
The two sisters rushed out of Room 408 at the same time. But at this time, no elevator stopped on the fourth floor, so they chose to run back to the first floor to find the elevator.
The moment they arrived on the first floor...
Nightmare, restart.
Sister Jiang opened her eyes again in Room 807, and immediately cursed: "Fuck! What's the matter!"
Ten minutes back in time, the perspective of the live broadcast room followed the thin group of people to the commercial district.
At this time, the muscular man had no idea where he was going. The remaining task force was divided into two groups, searching for his lost item cards all the way, and leaving the apartment building all the way.
Xu Beijin chose to focus the perspective of the live broadcast studio on the thin, young and Shen Yunju. A large part of the reason was because he still minded the strange expression that Shen Yunju had before facing the commercial district.
And as they turned around for nothing near the apartment building and decided to go to the commercial area, that strange expression appeared on Shen Yunju's face again.
He seemed to feel that something beyond common sense and horror was approaching him, so he was frightened, showing an expression of fear, but he must remain calm, otherwise, the monster might rush towards him.
At first, the thin man and the little girl were still discussing something else worryingly, especially about this nightmare.
They now knew what was going on in the nightmare, but they didn't find the owner of the nightmare or how to play the ending of the nightmare.
The thin man couldn't help sighing: "If I knew it was not an empty house..."
Just like Ringo, they actually thought the room next to Xu Beijin was empty.
The previous narrow-building resident had moved out a few days ago, but who could have imagined that a new narrow-building resident would move in so soon without anyone knowing it
As a result, they were forced to face this nightmare.
"Speak carefully." The little girl said coldly, "Besides, about this nightmare... I seem to have heard something."
The thin boy's eyes lit up, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Yunju, his intention was to see the distance between the other party and the two of them, to see if the little girl could directly tell what she knew, but he happened to catch a glimpse of Shen Yunju's face. , The fear that never dissipated.
Shen Yunju was still in a trance state, and even the thin man noticed the change in his expression.
The thin man hesitated.
They walked to the entrance of the business district at this time, only a few meters away to enter.
The thin man asked: "... Are you okay?"
Shen Yunju was looking up at the electronic screen of the business district building, he made a hoarse voice: "No..."
The thin man and the little girl froze for a while.
Shen Yunju smiled bitterly: "I'm not very good."
The thin man considered his words: "Uh... if it is related to nightmares... Of course we don't have to ask you..."
Shen Yunju looked up at this commercial building, and said in a dreamlike voice: "I have been here before."
The thin man and the little girl were stunned.
In front of the live broadcast screen, Xu Beijin showed a slightly shocked expression. He glanced at the barrage and found that the audience was asking whether this young man had been in this nightmare before... However, Xu Beijin was a little anxious.
Obviously, what Shen Yunju was talking about was not a nightmare, not a narrow building, but...
"... the earth." Shen Yunju said, "on the earth, I have been here."
Even the audience in the live broadcast room was shocked: "Wow! What do you mean?"
"Meaning that the art of this game is too perfunctory! Actually directly use the buildings on the earth to make games, infringement warning!"
"Does this count as a physical plug-in [狗头]"
"As an ordinary player, I deeply spurn this kind of cheating... Ask the game company to take a look at the buildings I've been to!!"
The audience continued to laugh and laugh, completely unaware of what Shen Yunju was suggesting.
Xu Bei is very thankful.
Fortunately, he did not watch the live broadcast this time.
If it is a big reasoning guy, facing this kind of "game that only the anchor can play", combined with what other players in the game say, "I have encountered a setting in a game on earth", I am afraid I can instantly think of it A lot of things.
At least Xu Beijin is like that.
His eyes flickered, staring at the young man in the picture... He thought, this is impossible.
"... It's impossible!" The thin man was stung by a wasp, and he retorted loudly almost instantly, "How can there be buildings on earth in a nightmare?!"
Even the little girl, who has been cold and calm, couldn't help but twisted her expression and murmured something in a low voice.
Shen Yunju sneered involuntarily. He just said that he had been to such a commercial area when he was on earth. He hasn't said that he can't find the source of this familiar feeling in his memory at all.
He was sure that he had been here, but he couldn't think of more things. He was sure... There was something wrong with his memory.
But he dare not say.
He neither dared to face this problem, nor did he dared to share his gains with others. Because everyone knows that the main brain NE is watching them anytime and anywhere.
There have always been some rumors in the narrow building, some of which can even be called conspiracy theories. Among them, there are naturally some things about the main brain NE.
In those rumors, there is always a man behind the scenes, and NE is the means by which the man behind the scenes monitors them.
Although NE is only an artificial intelligence, whether it will have this kind of cognition to help abuse is still a question. However, the main brain does always pay attention to everything that happens in the nightmare.
For a moment, Shen Yunju almost said his memory problem. He couldn't bear such a huge and terrifying truth alone, so he wanted to share it. In any case, don't let him face the truth alone.
However, fear made him give up this idea.
For him now, whether it is said or not, it seems that it will bring some particularly terrible endings. In the end, he still selectively said part of it.
And the other part, one day, might drive him crazy.
Xu Bei stared deeply at the young man with a stiff expression and pale face. He thought, what does he know? If he had said everything he knew, why would he still be so scared
In addition, as the audience in the live broadcast room said, what if this commercial area is just a game that imitates a certain place in the real world, and is lazy to make a texture? Maybe it's just like this
This is a very simple conclusion that can be drawn. After all, they all know that this is just a game.
So... why is Shen Yunju still so scared
Now that the thin man and the little girl were taken away by Shen Yunju's statement, they might think that the narrow building is a part of the game world, but the nightmare instead brought them back to the earth.
But they will soon realize that nightmares are of course part of the game.
Sure enough, just as Xu Bei thought, after the initial shock, the thin man calmed down. He said: "It's just a scene, not necessarily the reality... that place."
The little girl couldn't help but nodded: "The scene in the nightmare is originally the style on the earth, and it is normal for you to feel similar."
"Is that so..." Shen Yun replied in a daze.
The thin man and the little girl frowned unconsciously.
The little girl is not very consoling, but the thin man still said to him: "Brother, the most important thing for us now is to solve this nightmare, not... think of other things." He sighed, "Although these words It doesn't sound good, but... what's the use of entangled in those?"
Shen Yunju stared at him for a while, then gave a blunt smile: "Yes... Yes... It doesn't make much sense to entangle this."
It's just that he felt that he was going crazy.
Thinking he didn't think so much anymore, the thin man nodded to him, and the three of them walked into the building in front of him.
As soon as he walked in, the thin man couldn't help but sighed, "It's so lively."
The warm breeze in the bustling business district makes people want to sleep as soon as they come in. The people who came to wandered shoulder to shoulder, as if they had brought the three missionaries back to the earth in an instant.
But the little girl looked at these people blankly and said: "How do we find the one who can provide us with information from so many people?"
Skinny: "..."
This is really a big problem.
Xu Beijin supported his chin and smiled silently.
The last nightmare, if it weren't because someone had been to that nightmare, it would be a bit difficult for the taskists to find Dai Wu in the service area. And that was only a dozen or twenty actors.
As for here
There are at least a few hundred actors in the business district, and most of them are group performances like Xu Beijin who know nothing about nightmares.
This is too difficult.
Soon, the thin man also thought of this. He said: "The main brain cannot give out unsolvable problems. Perhaps the focus is not on the residents of these narrow buildings."
The little girl nodded in agreement.
The thin man glanced at Shen Yun, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Shall we search separately? You are in charge of the underground, and we are in charge of the part on the ground?"
Shen Yunju nodded slowly.
So they separated. When Shen Yunju left, Shouzi and the little girl did not rush to search. Shouzi asked her: "What you just said, have heard some news... What is it?"
The little girl nodded and replied: "This nightmare seemed to have appeared on the ground floor of a narrow building a few years ago."
The thin man was taken aback.
Although he and the little girl in front of him are companions, they have just become partners not long ago. Before that, they didn't even know each other.
Therefore, the thin man couldn't help being dumb when he heard the little girl talk about the ground floor of the narrow building a few years ago. After all, a few years ago, he was on a higher floor.
The little girl said, "You may not know it." She knew the experience of the thin man in the narrow building. "There was a bookstore owner who caused a riot in the narrow building."
Before the live broadcast, Xu Bei was taken aback. He never expected that this matter could still get on his head.
He laughed bitterly, and once again sincerely felt that the arrival of the live broadcast system made him understand the place where he lives.
Narrow floor...
He sighed secretly.
The little girl continued: "At that time, in order to enter his nightmare, the taskers used all kinds of methods like crazy, of course, including... trying to start from his neighbor. Some taskers just talked to her, but Some taskers directly entered her nightmare."
Neighbors... Xu Beijin suddenly thought that in the last nightmare, Mu Jiashi also mentioned his neighbors.
… Yes, a few years ago, when the taskers rushed to his nightmare, his neighbor had always been the female actor, and it had not changed.
And it seems that after that incident, after the actor gradually lost interest in his nightmare, the actor left the bottom of the narrow building.
Xu Bei recalled it for a while, and then confirmed that it was the actor.
Wait, if that's the case...
There was a trace of confusion on Xu Beijin's face.
The thin man was listening to the little girl talking about this, and couldn't help asking: "You mean, this nightmare is the nightmare of the neighbor of the bookstore owner?"
"The furniture is refined..." the little girl whispered this feature, and then nodded, "Yes."
The thin man was at a loss: "But, I remember the nightmare of the neighbor next door to the bookstore owner, it's not this..."
"The first one." The little girl said, "It's a woman. After her nightmare had a true ending, she moved away, just like the other narrow-building residents. Then it was the man in your memory. Then, this A male resident of the narrow building also moved out..."
The thin man answered, "Then that woman moved back again?" He couldn't help but smile, "Can this go back and forth?"
The little girl shook her head: "Who knows this?"
The thin man stopped struggling with this question and said, "So, do you know anything about her nightmare?"
They began to walk around on the first floor of the business district, observing these shops and the residents of the narrow buildings around them.
"I only know that it doesn't seem to be just a matter of furniture refinement." The little girl said thoughtfully, "The missionaries who had entered this nightmare didn't disclose much information, but... they were downsizing."
"Reduced staff?"
"Even if you have a normal ending, you can leave the nightmare... still some questers have disappeared, as if... you know."
The thin man was silent.
He knew that little girl meant "the nightmare of eternal collapse". They generally don't want to mention this phrase because they have some companions, they get lost in them, and never come back.
The thin man took a deep breath and murmured, "But... how is this possible?"
Obviously he has reached a normal ending, but he is still lost in the nightmare of eternal collapse? How can this be
That's... Eternal collapse.
The little girl was about to say something. Suddenly, they noticed that people around them began to whisper, showing a look of fear and anxiety. From the underground floor, there were several roars and screams.
They looked at each other, and almost immediately realized that something happened to Shen Yunju!
However, they didn't have time to act, because, just the next second, their eyes went black.
The nightmare restarted.
Shen Yunju opened his eyes in horror, took two steps back subconsciously, and fell on the sofa with a terrible expression and dilated pupils, as if he was deeply trapped in an extremely terrifying nightmare.
