Bai Wu finally fainted.
Before he fell, he saw a middle-aged man with a ferocious expression and a chainsaw in his hand.
Then his consciousness sank and he fell into a coma.
Bai Wu still remembers a theory in a ridiculous movie.
The three stages of the devil's advent.
The first stage is birth. People who are targeted by the devil will hear some sounds, feel the existence of something, and form some kind of self-suggestion about whether there is something dirty here.
The second stage is harassment. After the first stage, the devil has begun to use some kind of teasing method to try to make people feel fear and then collapse. For people with fragile hearts, their will will be greatly destroyed in this stage.
The third stage is the advent. After the fear has eroded the sanity, the devil will harvest the poor soul, invade the consciousness, or directly kill the target.
This theory also conforms to the shooting logic of many horror films.
What Bai Wu didn't expect was... that he would actually experience something like this.
Since I never felt any fear, my will was always in the most sober and rational state, and I even felt more excited...
So the first stage of hinting failed. The second stage of harassment made Bai Wu feel that he had failed.
So Bai Wu went straight to the third stage.
When he began to explore the circular scene, the chainsaw man took out his chainsaw and attacked the young man, who was about 18 or 19 years old, without any ethics.
Assuming this chainsaw man is a ghost, he must be angry and frustrated.
Because he had to use brute force to knock out Bai Wu and complete the ritual.
Even before Bai Wu fell down, he conducted some analysis on it.
Before Bai Wu fell into coma, he saw the chainsaw man holding a chainsaw. He remained calm, looking at the chainsaw in the other's hand, and originally wanted to wait for the note to pop up.
The whole process took no more than one second. According to his usual experience, the Eye of Prell needed one and a half to three seconds to analyze the process.
Therefore, the ability of the sequence did not have time to manifest, and Bai Wu was knocked unconscious.
But as he completely lost consciousness and fell, Bai Wu noticed the other person's expensive watch. The time on the watch showed 10:22 in the morning and the hands were stopped.
Many thoughts flashed through Bai Wu's mind:
“Generally, it’s impossible not to check a watch of this kind of workmanship and not see any signs of damage.”
"There is blood on my shoes. I haven't been attacked yet, so where did the blood come from?"
"His expression is ferocious, but people who live in such a place should have good health... Or does a ghost have to have such an expression as a standard? My father's calm tortured expression is more frightening. I can perhaps assume that he is some kind of 'object', like a TV, retaining a certain state from seven hundred years ago. So why does he need to show such an expression?"
"Oops, there's not enough time... I'm going to pass out."
"By the way, why can't I avoid his attack?"
"I am at least a fourth-level expert, and his movements are not fast... Could it be that his companion force is also suppressed?"
"Yes, maybe this is a third area that is completely different from the high tower and the outside of the normal tower?"
"I hope this ghost won't dismember me, and at the same time, help me cover the quilt. No, good night, chainsaw man."
Bai Wu fainted.
…
…
Three o'clock in the morning.
After the ceremony was completed, the family of three upstairs shed tears. But the emotions of the three people were completely different, at least not all joy.
The one with the most extreme emotional fluctuations was not Mr. Wang, nor his wife, but the child.
God knows how he has been living these years
I am immersed in nightmares every day, day after day, day after day, without seeing any hope. In fear, I play the role of a dead child according to the requirements of the manor.
He was originally a mercenary, doing all kinds of evil things including murder and arson.
But when he came to the damn manor, he had to call people dad every day, and do those childish and ridiculous childish behaviors every day. He had to cheer for those boring toys and find a woman of his own age to act like a spoiled child.
If he didn't, his worst fear would come upon him. And something worse than fear.
His consciousness was still his own, and he was tortured every night. No matter what he did, he would fall into nightmares and see all kinds of horrible monsters again and again.
The only difference is that if he plays his role better, he will suffer less and lose less of what belongs to him.
He thought he had gone crazy a long time ago. Perhaps if he was crazy, he would not be afraid or terror.
He was indeed crazy, but he was surrounded by fear and pain all the time. Originally a mercenary, his cognition began to gradually collapse.
Sometimes, he even felt like a child.
Just a few minutes ago, the "handover ceremony" finally ended.
He stood up and shed tears, crying and laughing at the same time, sad with joy, trembling with anger.
No matter what you do, you won't feel intense pain, nor will you suddenly lose track of the situation.
Confusion and fragmentation are the truest reflection of his expression at this moment.
Then he thought of the man and woman he had called dad and mom for many years. Finally, he didn't have to endure them anymore!
Even though they were all victims, he couldn't accept it. Why did he have to play the role of a child? Why
We are all in the manor, why am I the one suffering the most
The kitchen is on the first floor.
But he didn't dare to open the door. Opening doors and windows was mostly taboo in this manor.
He waited patiently. Death was not scary at all because he didn't have much to lose.
…
…
The second day.
At six o'clock, the sky was still dark blue. Bai Wu, Yin Shuang and Lin Wu Rou were all sleeping soundly.
At about 6:40, there was a noise and a woman's scream was very shrill.
The dog outside didn't bark. Bai Wu was awakened by the woman's screaming.
"This sound... What happened? An accident?"
Bai Wu slowly stood up, preparing to put on his clothes and go out for a look, but when he subconsciously wanted to put on the blue combat uniform of the Survey Corps... he suddenly felt a memory interrupting him.
"Dad wouldn't wear something like that, you can't be serious!"
A voice floated through Bai Wu's mind, followed by a stabbing pain all over the body. At the same time, Bai Wu suddenly felt that he seemed to be unfamiliar with this blue Survey Corps combat uniform.
But fortunately, Bai Wu soon remembered that this was the combat uniform of the Survey Corps.
He frowned.
"Oh no! If I do something that is seriously contrary to my father's behavior, my body will have a great reaction of pain, and at the same time... my memory will be forcibly tampered with? But this tampering should be temporary."
"That explains why Mr. Wang is unwilling to say something. Perhaps the act of speaking... will trigger some kind of backlash. If there is too much of this backlash, perhaps the tampering of memory will become permanent?"
Bai Wu could imagine that if he didn't follow a certain method, his body would probably erase part of his memory, the logic of his brain would become chaotic, and then he would eventually be forced to become another person because of the intervention of new memories.
"Rules are indeed the most powerful enemy. To some extent, evil is also a product of rules. So the most terrifying enemy is this area itself?"
"The other party did not restrict my thoughts, so thinking is not a crime..."
This surprised Bai Wu a little. The rules of this area seemed to be in line with the spirit of the criminal law.
In criminal law, no matter how evil a person's heart is, as long as he has not committed a crime, he is innocent.
"But I don't think I can send a signal to the captain... Oops, the captain is fine, he's not stupid, he should realize the problem soon, and based on the proportion of free time of the three identities, the father's identity should have a certain degree of freedom. But Lin Wurou..."
Bai Wu was really afraid that Lin Wu Rou would accidentally go against the rules and cause permanent memory overwrite.
The screams rang out again, and Bai Wu could only give up looking at Lin Wu Rou temporarily.
He sensed what was happening in the villa.
He put on his father's clothes and prepared to get up and take a look.
At this time, Lin Wurou and Yin Shuang also woke up, but they were forced to fall asleep again immediately.
The voice echoing in Lin Wurou's mind was - "I don't want to get up! I don't want to get up! I don't want to get up!"
Lin Wu Rou was stubborn and insisted on remembering it, but soon, his daily routine changed forever.
His eyes were dazed, and he was mumbling something like a dream:
"I don't want to get up. I want to sleep until my mother wakes me up."
Lin Wu Rou fell asleep.
At this time, Yin Shuang also wanted to get up because of the scream, but she also heard a voice:
"Mommy won't get up at this time."
Because she was afraid of pain, Yin Shuang realized the problem after two attempts.
She could only lie quietly in bed, close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
When opening the door, Bai Wu smelled a fishy odor.
He realized that something was wrong. There were traces of blood in the stairwell, left by the dragging of a corpse.
Bai Wu immediately ran upstairs and followed the blood trail to the hostess's room.
The door was wide open.
Although I haven't seen what happened in the house yet.
Bai Wu already knew what was happening in the house.
"Dad won't allow this kind of behavior. Dad will stop him!"
Bai Wu knew that he really didn't want to see the contents inside, not because he was afraid, but because he felt disappointed.
He originally thought that the arrival of his group had saved two families, and he also saw hope of escaping from here from Mr. Wang's expression.
I originally thought that I could still see if their bodies, which had stagnated in growth due to the manor rules, would have any reaction after they left the manor.
But now I can't see anything.
"Mom, why don't you say anything? Go and blame me."
This "baby" had gone mad and collapsed after years of torture. But there was a greater fear than madness and collapse that made him still play the role of the baby.
Now, that kind of terror suddenly disappeared.
Instead, he became insane because he couldn't bear the freedom.
The moment Bai Wu saw the tragic scene and the voice in his head reminded him again, he knew that he had to get rid of this poor "baby".
But as soon as the thought came to mind, the opportunity was gone.
"Baby" committed suicide.
Bai Wu looked at this scene and began to force himself to do something.
He was afraid that he would not be able to resist profiling and then accidentally put himself in the shoes of the baby.
God knows what kind of torture a forty-something adult must have gone through to end up like this
This is not a refuge, this is real hell.
…
…
Seven o'clock.
After Yin Shuang got up, she endured the pain of having done something wrong and began to follow the instructions of the voice in her head to wash and put on makeup.
Then go downstairs and make breakfast.
But she didn't go upstairs.
"Dad is taking care of it. Mom will go make food first."
The pain did not go away, and Yin Shuang had no choice but to force herself to cook, as if she had not seen any blood at all.
There seemed to be no smell of blood in the air.
She had never cooked food before, and even said that yesterday was the first time she had seen food from the pre-Tower era outside of textbook illustrations.
This was destined to be a meal full of pain.
Because of every mistake in each step, Yin Shuang had to pay the price of having her soul pricked by a needle.
She didn't even dare to cry and had to keep smiling.
Living in this situation for several years... What kind of torture is it
She probably guessed that she had become a "stand-in".
Yin Shuang had never felt so frightened and scared in her heart.
Will I be stuck here forever
Can I only leave if other people come here
Will I have to endure this kind of pain every day from now on
Captain, how are they doing now
what do I do
It was clearly a warm scene, with a housewife preparing breakfast with a smile on her face, but Yin Shuang was feeling unprecedented pain and confusion.
Fortunately, the neighbor came at this time.
It is an unwritten rule that the first household that comes here must help the second household adapt after they have mastered the rules and survival skills.
The second household helped the third household, the third household helped the fourth household... and the sixth household helped the first household.
Humans are fragile yet powerful. They are good at adapting and are willing to make all kinds of compromises in order to survive.
But Yin Shuang was still so desperate.
The lady who came in would teach her how to cook, and this lady also smelled the blood in the house...
They can only look calm and gentle, as if life is going well.
Inside, it began to tear apart bit by bit.
