Qin Lin was very confused. He had just gone to bed, so why was the bed so warm
It was as if someone had been lying in the bed. But although he was not very courageous, his brain circuit would not lead things in a fearful direction.
He was afraid of real dangers, but not ghosts. If ghosts really existed, Qin Lin would not be targeted by ghosts before midnight.
So he lay down on the bed with a big heart.
He was the first of the six people to fall asleep.
Even when he started snoring, it was not yet past twelve o'clock. His sleep quality was surprisingly good.
As Qin Lin fell into a deeper sleep, the other side of his quilt gradually bulged.
Strands of black hair were entangled around Qin Lin's neck. Qin Lin felt a little itchy, so he scratched his neck, smacked his lips, and turned over.
At this moment, 11:59, it was the last minute of his luck.
The greatest luck at this time is to be able to fall asleep and be invaded by spirits.
In Qin Lin's dream, he turned into a woman, waiting patiently in the house for a man to return.
This was supposed to happen an hour later, but Qin Lin fell asleep due to his stupidity and did not experience the most terrifying scene.
If he opened his eyes, he would experience what Yin Shuang was experiencing.
In the previous hour, Yin Shuang searched through all the drawers and cabinets and walked through every corner of the house, but did not find any lost hair.
Even the hair that she had just brushed away was gone.
Not long ago, the quilt was a little cold, but when I lay on it, it was surprisingly warm.
Even if Yin Shuang fell asleep at this time, it would be a very light sleep and it would be impossible for her to enter deep sleep.
Besides, she was not asleep either, so Yin Shuang saw the most frightening scene.
The quilt gradually bulged up, and a woman poked her head out from under the quilt, with her long black hair facing away from Yin Shuang.
Every household that lives here will feel fear at night, and Yin Shuang is indeed a little scared.
So much so that as an investigator, her first reaction was not to fight, but to rush out.
But the door... was locked.
Yin Shuang was frightened and angry, and kicked the door hard.
What happened next was weird—
Although the door was kicked open, she saw a woman outside with her back to her.
What made Yin Shuang's scalp tingle was that the woman was wearing the same pajamas as her and had a similar figure, and the door outside was not a corridor, but the room she wanted to leave.
It seems like a cycle here. When you kick open the door of one house, you will enter another identical house.
The horror of ghosts remains the same even in the end times, because for humans, high towers can isolate them from evil, but they cannot isolate them from the fear in their hearts.
Even though it is something that no one has ever been able to prove its existence, it still scares people.
After all, Yin Shuang was a member of the vanguard group who had experienced investigations outside the tower. She suppressed her inner fear and stretched out her long legs. She came to the bed in an instant and directly lifted the quilt, intending to confront the female ghost head-on.
But the moment she lifted the quilt, she only felt a cool and itchy feeling on her neck. There was nothing in the bed.
Suddenly the lights in the whole house flickered.
"Are you looking for me?" A shrill female voice came to my ears.
Countless doors opened, and this sentence echoed in countless rooms at the same time. All the women who had their backs to Yin Shuang turned around suddenly.
All the miserable faces were staring at Yin Shuang.
Yin Shuang looked at this scene and her brain went blank.
Then, she fell to the ground and fell asleep.
In the dream, she became another woman.
Qin Lin was very lucky at this time. He did not experience the scene just now, skipped the most terrifying step, and directly entered the step of mental invasion.
Otherwise, as a mascot, a transparent character who usually hangs out in the white area, the scene that Yin Shuang just experienced would probably leave a psychological trauma.
…
…
Lin Wurou smashed the mirror with one punch. He breathed heavily.
Just a moment ago, he saw himself in the mirror, smiling at him.
Coupled with the knocking on the door that always happened shortly after he lay down on the bed, Lin Wurou broke the mirror.
The mirror was supposed to be attached to the wall and serve as the door of the cabinet. After the mirror was broken, the "Lin Wu Rou"s in the mirror were still looking at Lin Wu Rou with a smile among the shattered lenses on the ground.
Lin Wu Rou's attention was completely drawn to the deep passage that appeared after the mirror shattered.
"Come and play with me."
The cabinet that was supposed to contain toiletries suddenly turned into a tunnel with no end in sight.
Lin Wu Rou listened to the voice coming from inside and started cursing.
"Damn, this is weird!"
He sensed an unspeakable danger and decided to leave.
But what awaits Lin Wu Rou is an even deeper level of terror.
The door is like a device that angers the evil spirits in the manor. Anyone who tries to open the door will be punished!
After Lin Wu Rou discovered that the door was locked and broke it open in an extremely violent manner, all he saw were mirrors and a passage leading to the depths of darkness.
He in all the mirrors was doing different actions, just like countless little kids showing off their mischief.
Lin Wu Rou subconsciously sensed something and took a few steps back.
But deep in the tunnel, something seemed to be approaching.
"Do you like mille-feuille, too?"
“Do my clothes look good?”
Peng!
Lin Wu Rou slammed the door shut, and all the horrifying scenes disappeared.
The oppressive feeling from the huge dark tunnel outside the door suddenly dissipated. He breathed hard, wondering what on earth had happened here, but he forgot that there was another tunnel.
A black arm stretched out from the dressing table and covered Lin Wurou's mouth.
"My favorite is the thousand-layer cake. My mom makes it and my dad feeds me!"
…
…
The barking of dogs outside the house kept Wujiu awake. It was the first time he heard the barking of such a creature, but strangely enough, it didn't seem very strange to him.
Wujiu is the bravest among all the people, except Baiwu. In a sense, Baiwu is not brave, but crazy.
So Wujiu didn't close the window, he chose to sleep with the dog barking. For Wujiu, it was very important to know what was going on outside.
If those animals were screaming because they were frightened by some external force, he would have to be more alert, even if he had to make up for the sleep during the day. At night, Wujiu decided to protect everyone.
The window was not closed, so the TV was always quiet.
To Wujiu, everything that happened in this manor today was like a bowl of sweet soup mixed with a few drops of blood.
The whole bowl of soup is still red, but the faint feeling of fear lingering in my heart can never be erased.
Of course, he didn't really fall asleep. This was outside the tower, and he didn't think it was really safe.
But four hours had already passed, and there were no negative attributes, nor could any evil be sensed.
As it was almost twelve o'clock, the barking of the dogs stopped.
Wujiu had not fallen asleep and the window was never closed, so he heard the noise.
That was the sound of hands clapping something.
But the sound here seemed very ethereal, and different from the sound of knocking on the bathroom door that Lin Wurou heard.
Wujiu frowned. The sound seemed to come from the opposite side. He had been resting with his eyes closed and had not noticed the books on the bookshelf, nor that the TV was actually powered on.
He was different from Bai Wu. At this moment, Bai Wu was checking the secret of the TV, rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for the remote control. At the same time, Bai Wu also noticed that the door was actually locked by an external force, and there was no way out unless the door was broken.
Bai Wu did not break the door and continued to look for clues.
When Wujiu came to the window, he saw a strange scene.
He was facing the window of Bai Wu's villa. There was a person next to the window.
Wujiu looked at this person, and this person also looked at Wujiu.
In the darkness, it was impossible to see the details clearly, but Wujiu felt that this person was not Bai Wu.
He suddenly became worried about Bai Wu's safety, so he made a gesture toward the window, a code word unique to the Survey Corps.
Almost at the same time, the figure on the other side of the window made the same gesture.
What 59 conveys is who you are.
What is fed back to Wujiu is, who are you
Wujiu felt very strange and took a step back, ready to go find Baiwu as soon as possible.
But outside the window, at the corresponding window of another building, the figure also took a step back, as if he was also looking for something.
The alert Wujiu suddenly realized that the other party's movements were extremely synchronized with his own.
So Wujiu suddenly stopped and waved his hand.
The other party also made a waving gesture, as if it was Wujiu's shadow.
Wujiu was slightly startled and said loudly:
"Bai Wu, is that you?"
"My name is not Bai Wu."
The other party responded quickly, but the voice did not come from the opposite side. At least to Wujiu, the voice seemed to come from a very nearby place.
Wujiu decided to move closer and stuck his head out of the window. At the same time, the figure in the villa opposite also stuck his head out of the window.
Although the captain was very brave, his heart was still beating faster.
In the darkness, he still couldn't see the person clearly, but he had a hunch that what he saw... was a reflection.
Can't see clearly.
Unless you go to that villa.
Wujiu decided to leave, but the moment he was about to turn around, the images in the two windows were finally no longer symmetrical like reflections.
In a room in another villa, Wujiu saw another tall figure holding a chainsaw and standing behind the person who was making the same movements as him.
Eager to save people, Wujiu shouted loudly:
"Danger! Behind you!"
"Danger! Behind you!"
Two voices sounded at the same time. This time Wujiu heard it, as it came from the opposite side.
He was suddenly startled and looked back. A middle-aged man was holding a chainsaw and looking at him ferociously.
"My name is not Bai Wu."
The last thing Wujiu heard was the middle-aged man's words and the sound of the window suddenly closing.
…
…
There are still five minutes until twelve o'clock.
Bai Wu wasn't sure if everyone in the other rooms had similar experiences.
A person's performance is completely different when he is afraid, rational, extremely afraid, and extremely rational, and the feedback from the environment is also different accordingly.
Bai Wu thought that he might have found the most clues. For example, the TV program was actually reporting on the Food City area and some things that happened before the doomsday migration.
This is most likely a luxurious manor on the outskirts of Food City.
The hostess is very good at cooking. She must be a very famous female chef, and a beautiful one at that.
Men are responsible for the food trade.
They have a daughter.
And... they have tickets.
Bai Wu was not sure whether the boat ticket was still in the manor.
He was still missing some clues.
"It seems that the clues obtained by closing the window and opening the window cannot be obtained at the same time... I have this damn obsessive-compulsive disorder of collecting all the archives..."
Bai Wu discovered that closing and opening seemed to correspond to some mystery.
At least after I closed the window, the atmosphere in the room changed instantly, and there was some force trying to prevent me from opening the window.
But he couldn't say why.
Although being extremely rational can obtain the most intelligence, some intelligence can only be triggered under an appropriate fear environment.
It was like Bai Wu had no desire to open the door at all, but the other people, except Wujiu, were scared and wanted to escape.
Only by seeing as many different situations in the house as possible can we restore it to the greatest extent possible.
Bai Wu finally closed the window for the TV show and did not see the scene with the chainsaw man, otherwise his reasoning could have gone deeper.
"I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary since I entered this manor... but this in itself is an abnormality."
It was clear that the feedback given by the Eye of Prell was problematic when Bai Wu saw the gate of the manor, but after entering the gate of the manor, he did not see anything unusual.
The soundproofing effect of the windows is so good that it feels like you have suddenly entered another dimension.
A TV that can broadcast TV programs from seven hundred years ago, with a female ghost face playing pranks from time to time.
All of this was normal. Bai Wu even remembered one thing. When he went to the kitchen, he looked at the refrigerator and there was nothing unusual.
This is the weirdest thing.
"If the Eye of Prell is inoperable, the note should not pop up, but this did not happen. That means one thing..."
Bai Wu opened his eyes wide:
"These things are indeed normal. The source of the abnormality is not these props, but other things."
"What on earth is this? Hiss... If only there were cameras, I could see what was going on in other houses. Maybe today I could figure out what happened here and what the secret of this manor is."
"Why don't we go out and take a look? Maybe we can get some clues from the dog."
Bai Wu did whatever he wanted and opened the door decisively.
Although the purpose and mood of opening the door are different from those of other people, the subsequent reactions triggered by the action of opening the door are the same.
"Hey, what kind of space rule is this?"
Of course, there was no corridor outside the door, but a scene exactly the same as the room he was in.
Bai Wu found it very interesting.
"This thing will be triggered regularly? Then there are a lot of people who can live in this manor."
Without any avoidance, Bai Wu decided to explore whether this cyclical scene had an end. He pulled out a drawer under the TV by one centimeter.
Then he walked into the next room.
When he came to this room, Bai Wu noticed that the drawer under the TV cabinet was also pulled out one centimeter.
"That's interesting. This basically means I'm back in my own room, right?"
"Ghost wall?"
Up to now, Bai Wu still has no negative emotions.
Mr. Wang upstairs put his ear to the ground, trying to listen to what was happening below.
He was puzzled...why he couldn't hear any violent noise.
Could it be that this person... is not afraid? Or has he fainted from shock? Has the ritual already begun
Mr. Wang heard the sound of the door opening. He was delighted and scared at the same time, because opening the door was a taboo. When he opened the door, he still remembers the scene. He even thought that after leaving the manor, he would spend the rest of his life digesting these fears...
