The temperature is slowly fading away silently.
This made Nan Zhou more sober.
He slipped out of bed quietly and quietly, walked to the door and pressed the handle.
The faucet in the bathroom is not known to be in disrepair, it seems to drip on people's nerves, with a click,
At the same time, the door opened.
squeak-
In the face of danger, Nan Zhou's animal instincts prevailed smoothly.
He was sure that they had once again suffered a bow.
Although he didn't see anything at the moment.
The feeling at this moment has something in common with the feeling when he was in the deep sea.
The change of wind speed and the change of the angle of light and shadow, all in his eyes, have undergone subtle changes.
Because the distance between the hotels and the hotels is too narrow, there is a lack of sunshine, and it is too awkward, so I have to make some gimmicks and work with travel agencies to scour the tourists' wool.
Therefore, the hotel has been redesigned in a well-like manner.
There are rooms on one side of the hotel corridor and windows on the other.
On the first floor, a green space of dozens of square meters has been opened, and some tropical flowers and plants have been planted.
In fact, because they are too lazy to spend money on maintenance, tropical flowers and plants have long since died.
On the outside of the window, which has not been cleaned all the year round, upon closer inspection, there are dense corpses of small insects.
They are all attracted by the night lights in the hallway.
The small pieces of dark yellow insect liquid make people have no intention to stop and admire the withered and decaying flowers and plants outside.
After opening the door, Nan Zhou faced a dirty window and himself in the window.
The window at the end of the corridor on the window was not closed.
The wind blew his sleepless hair a little.
There was a terrifying chill in the wind.
The old corridor bulbs, in the dim yellow, added a thin layer of strange red.
Ordinary people like Li Yinhang cannot perceive such subtle changes in body sensation and light source.
From her point of view, except for the dim light in the hallway, everything was foreshadowing.
… This kind of unforeseen, but with a different kind of terror.
Nan Zhou stood at the door, hooked his head and thought for a while, then closed the door, picked up the anti-theft chain, slipped it into the groove, and locked the door completely.
In a very flat tone, he said something creepy: "Something has come in here."
Jiang Fang frowned without a trace.
Seeing that Nan Zhou was so serious, Li Yinhang's voice was almost suppressed by fear: "What... something?"
Nan Zhou: "I don't know."
Li Yinhang stood up: "Then let's run out. On the street..."
Nan Zhou suddenly said, "Stay away from the window."
Li Yinhang always listened to people's persuasion and had enough to eat.
After hearing the words, she didn't have time to look back, and immediately jumped out of bed and quickly walked away from the window.
When she was a little farther away, she turned back with lingering fears and checked carefully.
Her own reflection was reflected in the window, looking horrified.
Li Yinhang touched his face.
The self in the window also did the same thing as her.
… seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.
When she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Nan Zhou say, "You in the window are moving."
Li Yinhang's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to look closely, and took two steps back.
Nan Zhou encouraged: "It's okay. You and him, come to me."
When Li Yinhang heard this, he immediately moved closer to Nan Zhou.
Jiang Fang sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Nan Zhou, and said, "You..."
His words were not finished.
In the corridor behind Nan Zhou, there was a piercing cracking sound of glass.
Startled by this voice, Li Yinhang, who was only a few steps away from Nanzhou, stopped his steps subconsciously.
In the next second, something even scarier happened.
"do not come."
Nan Zhou's cold, flat voice sounded outside the door.
He said: "Stay away from him. He's fake."
Li Yinhang's scalp exploded, and he took a few steps backwards, losing his ability to breathe.
Who is the ghost
who is real
who is fake
Was it standing in front of her in the room, or was it knocking on the door outside
In front of her, Nan Zhou, who was indistinguishable between the real and the fake, moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Yinhang stared at him, thinking he would give an explanation.
And this Nanzhou suddenly burst into a terrifyingly exaggerated smile without warning.
The blood on Li Yinhang's face faded in an instant.
Nan Zhou obviously didn't go out. When did the ghost exchange with him? !
She was backing up, almost back to the window.
In the window, her back turned slightly back, and looked back at her sullenly.
The South Pole star on the bed jumped up, and the two front claws clenched into fists in front of the chest, making a creaking and angry sound.
Li Yinhang noticed something was wrong, and was about to turn his head when he suddenly heard an earth-shattering sound from the door.
-boom!
Nan Zhou, who was outside the door, was silent, and kicked the entire door, including the door shaft, door leaf, and door chain, with one foot.
When the fallen door panel pressed against the back of the "Nanzhou" inside the door, it disappeared like a gust of wind.
Nan Zhou dodged into the house, grabbed the door panel, pushed the door back to its original position cleanly, and used one hand to force the broken door shaft and the door leaf together again.
After manually closing the door, Nan Zhou took two quick steps, but another figure appeared in the corner of his eye.
The bathroom mirror is opposite the bathroom door.
Nan Zhou's whole body was exposed in the mirror.
He stopped for a moment and observed it for a while with his peripheral vision.
There was nothing unusual about him in the mirror, and he was peeping at himself sideways.
Nan Zhou looked away and walked forward.
… But in the mirror, he stood there and calmly drew a knife from his waist.
The figure in the mirror suddenly disappeared.
Behind Nan Zhou, a phantom with a sharp knife appeared out of thin air, raised it with a smile, and slammed it towards the back of Nan Zhou's neck!
The blade drew a small arc of light in the air.
Just when the blade was about to submerge into Nan Zhou's neck, Nan Zhou suddenly turned around and held the dagger he had taken out from the warehouse with his backhand.
The phantom's hand was shaken, and the sharp knife almost came out of his hand.
And when Nan Zhou turned the dagger around in his palm and slashed at the throat of the false "Nan Zhou" at the speed of lightning, it disappeared into the void again.
A seemingly peaceful calm was restored in the room.
As soon as the shot missed, Nan Zhou was not so sorry.
He looked down at his hands and slowly took stock in his heart.
Just now, he just looked at his own figure reflected in the opposite window, and suddenly, he switched places with the mirror image.
The self inside the door became a shadow.
… while standing in the window.
He watched as he closed the door.
Fortunately, the effect of this drop head does not blur the boundary between the real and the illusory, nor does it have the function of directly flattening the three-dimensional into two-dimensional.
He is real and is incompatible with windows.
Before the strong sense of suffocation spread, he easily smashed the window, as if the person in the painting broke the fence and escaped from it.
The ghost descending this time was completely different from the ghost descending that single-mindedly sucked them into the altar and soaked them into a fat sea.
It is fiercer, more powerful, and more unpredictable.
The two short battles just now made Nan Zhou feel a few characteristics of this ghost descend.
For one, just get close to anything with a reflection, and it will appear and assassinate the other self by surprise.
Second, it can replace the position of people and shadows without knowing it.
Third, when it is fatally attacked, it will disappear immediately to protect itself.
These three points are enough for it to play infinite tactics.
not to mention…
He had just broken the glass and the door, which should have caused a commotion.
But so far, the hallway has been eerily quiet.
There was no feedback on his actions.
There were no complaints from the guests in the hotel, and no person in charge came to investigate.
In other words, this ghost descended them into a special space, a space where a shadow could replace people at any time.
They can't turn to anyone for help.
Li Yinhang was almost unsure whether the real Nanzhou was in front of her, so she didn't speak, she just leaned against the bed, daring not to stand or sit.
Nan Zhou also saw her fear, so he was not in a hurry to approach her, but just stood there.
Nanjixing seemed to sense Li Yinhang's anxiety, jumped three times and two times, slipped to the side of the window, bit the corner of the curtain, wrapped himself inside the curtain, did not let his shadow appear on the window, and quickly moved forward blind. He rushed away, swiped the curtain and closed the curtain, then jumped, grabbed Li Yinhang's shoulder, ran down along her shoulder, and hugged her thumb obediently.
This bit of warmth made Li Yinhang's frantic heartbeat gradually return to normal.
It doesn't feel good to have a heartbeat that hits my throat.
She forcibly suppressed her fear and asked softly, "...is that you?"
Without waiting for Nan Zhou to reply, Jiang Fang took it: "It's him."
With Jiang Fang's gold certification, Li Yinhang's expression improved a little.
And Nan Zhou also seized the opportunity to look at the South Pole Star, which was standing up like a hedgehog with soft fur on its back and entered an all-round alert state.
Nanjixing seemed to feel something, and looked up at Nanzhou.
Nan Zhou dipped the honey water in the cup, and briefly sketched the pattern he had seen on the yellow clay jar on the bedside table.
He ordered: "Nanjing Star, look for something similar to this pattern nearby."
"Whether it's mobile or fixed, look for it."
"After finding it, don't break it, just scratch the pattern on it."
Nan Zhou considered Li Yinhang's proposal to "leave the hotel and go outside".
The opponent refuses to communicate and learn, uses the head down, and repeats the trick, must have the idea of killing them with one blow.
The most urgent task is to find the source of the ghost descending with the head-descending spell, erase and destroy the spell pattern on it, and make the ghost descend ineffective.
As long as Jiang Fang and Li Yinhang are stuffed into the warehouse, there is no problem with taking them out.
But once on the street, there will be more variables than there are now.
A shop window on the street, or even a pool of water illuminated by moonlight, may create a new self.
This would slow him down considerably.
Rather than looking for it yourself, it is better to leave it to the more flexible South Pole Star.
Nanji Xing responded with a snort, and jumped to the window lightly from Li Yinhang's palm.
At this moment, a breeze swept through the unclosed window, and opened the curtain by a small corner.
When the shadow of the South Pole Star was reflected in the window, as expected, a faint-eyed "South Pole Star" appeared inside the glass, showing sharp and sharp teeth towards the oncoming South Pole Star.
The South Pole Star was unreasonable, he didn't dodge or dodge, and he took a bite at the phantom in the mirror.
The shadow obviously didn't expect the South Pole Star to reach this point, and subconsciously dodged, the South Pole Star fit and smashed the window, and flew to the opposite window rail in the shattered glass ballast.
And when its figure appeared in the window, the seventeen or eight Antarctic stars reflected in the fragmented windows of the alley jumped out, like a nest of bloodthirsty carnivorous mice, chasing the Antarctic star.
The South Pole Star had no intention of entanglement with them at all, and jumped up flexibly, jumped to the roof of the opposite building, and disappeared into the vast cold moon with this group of "South Pole Star".
Li Yinhang was frightened, and his mind was running fast at this time.
Looking at the place where the South Pole Star disappeared, she noticed a trace of anomaly that she had not taken in her heart before.
... NJ Star, isn't it a little too smart
From Yi Shuige, the creator of NJ Star, Li Yinhang learned that Nan Zhou and NJ Star are both products of the game "Gravity".
And it is a little more special than Nanzhou.
Nan Zhou is a fictional character in the story.
And it's pure data.
It was a total accident.
Since it was deviated from its original orbit and sent to the Never Town by "Mr. Apple Tree", it has been freed from the shackles of data and acquired a new destiny.
As a data product, it magically learns to think and has feelings.
This made Yi Shuige amazed. He even tried to ask Nanzhou to ask for the South Pole Star, but of course it failed.
Li Yinhang knew that Nan Zhou had no memory of leaving "Never".
During the years when he lost his memory, Nanji Xing was always by his side, and when he reappeared on the bus, it was also by his side.
It is even smart enough to understand human speech, understand the layout, and know how to advance and retreat—
While she was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door again.
Outside was Cao Shuguang's hurried voice: "Mr. Nan, Noah, open the door, it's us!"
The three people in the room didn't move.
No one can be sure whether the clamor outside the house is a phantom or a reality.
However, the door that was destroyed once could no longer withstand such a vigorous slap.
The door leaf was shaky under such frequent impacts.
In the rapid knocking sound, the people inside the door could no longer tell whether it was a fist or a hilt held upside down by the monster in the mirror.
