Negative nineteen floors.
The four surviving players stood in the corridor, looking at the only iron door with inexplicable expressions.
When they came in, there were eleven people in total, but now, not even half of them are dead.
What's worse, they had to share a room with Liu Xiyu again.
Liu Xiyu didn't know what the players were thinking. She stared at the iron gate in the middle of the wall, a little excited and a little scared.
In the previous dream, she had reached the negative seventeenth floor at most.
It's the nineteenth floor, and it's her first time here.
In the dream, the floors in the cellar were jumping, and she herself was in a daze, without a backbone at all, and only knew to follow the flow of people.
Every time she plays games, every time she steps into a room and sees hideous and terrifying ghosts, she feels extremely horrified. And those games were getting weirder and weirder, she couldn't figure out how to play them at all, but fortunately, every time in front of her, there would be many faceless monsters.
She had a vague premonition that without those clever faceless monsters, she would definitely die.
Liu Xiyu didn't know what would happen if she died in her dream, but even in her dream, she was afraid of dying.
However, seeing the iron gate in front of her, an extremely clear voice suddenly appeared in her mind. The voice told her that as long as she entered this door, she could leave the cellar forever, without repeating and recurring nightmares.
Although she couldn't remember the games on the front floor, she had some vague impressions.
But this completely unfamiliar negative nineteenth floor is completely unfamiliar to her.
Liu Xiyu couldn't tell whether it was expectation or fear.
Now she can't wait to enter the door immediately, so as to get rid of the repeated dreams. However, she had a premonition that if she entered the door, she would definitely see something she didn't want to see.
However, she also had a premonition that if she didn't go in, she would have the same nightmare in two days.
She would walk alone through the desolate and cold park, buy a ticket from the conductor, and enter the cellar of horrors.
Then, she will meet a group of new faceless people, and after a few simple conversations, she will go through the level with them. When the faceless man is almost dead, she will arrive here again, then wake up suddenly, and repeat everything before until she completely clears the game.
"... I don't want to have this dream anymore!"
Although, Liu Xiyu had never been hurt by a ghost, not even a hair was torn off by a ghost.
However, she had witnessed the death of many faceless people, and she always felt something strange. Although those faceless people had no faces and looked as scary as ghosts, they were born like humans in other aspects. Seeing them being tortured by ghosts made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Don't go in this time... I will come here next time..."
Liu Xiyu muttered something in a low voice, gently cheering herself up.
This time, she didn't wait for the black mist behind her to catch up, nor did she wait for the players to go in and explore the way first. For the first time, she mustered up her courage and opened the door alone.
"Squeak—"
The heavy iron door was opened.
What appeared behind the door was a clean mahogany table. Except for a black and white photo, there was nothing else on the table.
Bloodstains, severed limbs, screams... All bloody and terrifying things did not appear in this room. However, the expressions of the players did not relax.
Because, this is a posthumous photo.
When the last player came in, the iron gate closed without wind.
Compared with the previous checkpoints, this quiet room brought more pressure to everyone. Nothing, which means it is difficult to find clues.
Liu Xiyu stood in front of the photo in a daze, completely motionless, as if stunned.
Bai Yan couldn't figure out the situation, and didn't want to touch this suspicious photo rashly, but Tom, the surviving player, stepped forward and tried to touch this photo—
"do not move!"
Liu Xiyu suddenly shouted: "Don't touch my mother's photo!"
Tom's hand froze in mid-air, and he quickly stepped back to the door, not daring to move.
Liu Xiyu's words let the players understand that there is an inside story here. The photo of Liu Xiyu's mother... is almost at the end, and this room is really her home.
Everyone was wondering what Liu Xiyu would be useful in this level, but Liu Xiyu didn't care about it, she didn't even think about how to pass the level.
Now, all her energy is focused on this picture.
Liu Xiyu knew about the posthumous photos. She had seen this kind of black and white photos on TV. Only people who died would have such photos.
However, her mom didn't die, she just disappeared. This is just a dream, it can't be real!
Liu Xiyu's mind was shaken and she couldn't accept the scene in front of her.
The mother in the photo smiled at her, as gentle as a real person.
I don't know why, I knew it was fake, but when I saw the picture of my mother, Liu Xiyu's nose was sore, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
She had a lot to say to her mother, but after her mother disappeared, her father couldn't find her no matter how hard she looked.
Even in her dream, she couldn't dream of her mother. All she could see was this photo...
In the dream, Liu Xiyu's mood changes very quickly.
There seemed to be no other danger in this room, and she had long since lost the fear of ghosts, so she reached out and reached for the photo, wanting to take it away.
Even if it was a dream, she didn't want to leave the picture of her mother in this place, she wanted to carry the picture with her, just like she put the picture of her mother under her pillow before going to bed every day.
Liu Xiyu picked up the photo frame, and the moment she touched the photo frame, she seemed to hear a voice—
That voice was extremely familiar to her. She had heard it countless times since she was a child. It was her mother's voice, and she would never admit it wrong!
"Wish..."
"...my wish is, I hope my daughter will never be killed by a ghost!"
The voice was fleeting, and it only rang in Liu Xiyu's ear, and disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared before.
I haven't heard her mother's voice for a long time, and Liu Xiyu's tears fell like rainwater without money.
Her tears hit the picture frame drop by drop and flowed down the picture of her mother.
She couldn't understand what this sentence meant, and she just felt aggrieved when she heard the familiar voice. If mother is in the dream, why doesn't she meet me? Does mother know that I really miss her...
Liu Xiyu hugged the photo, lowered her head and sobbed softly. Bai Yan and the others didn't hear the sound just now, but only heard Liu Xiyu crying all the time, feeling a little puzzled.
Before a few people could figure out anything from Liu Xiyu's cries and the photos of his death, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
When the dizziness passed, they inexplicably appeared in front of a ticket office, Tom disappeared, but Liu Xiyu was still crying in front of them holding the photo.
Immediately afterwards, the sky began to shatter.
Bai Yan hurriedly lowered his head, and the return button was displayed on the App, which meant that Liu Xiyu was about to wake up.
When Liu Xiyu wakes up, the dream world will undoubtedly be destroyed. Although the last level was unexpectedly easy, the three surviving people were only pleasantly surprised, and they all clicked to return.
After the three of them left, the world suddenly tore apart. Liu Xiyu rubbed her eyes, turned over, and sat up straight from the bed.
"Mother… "
Liu Xiyu wiped away the tears on her face, and when she fell asleep just now, she actually cried.
She raised her hand to turn on the light, and the warm light made her feel better.
She took out a photo from under the pillow, which was a family portrait of their family of three.
Dad, mom, and her.
In the photo, she is standing between her parents, smiling happily.
During the day, Dad was busy with work, and at other times he was out begging for someone to find his mother. At night, he was also busy with his mother's affairs.
Every night, she can only have a slight sense of security when she rests on her family portrait.
Looking at the photo, Liu Xiyu recalled how happy the family of three was when her mother was still there. At that time, not only her mother, but also her father was not as haggard as now.
My mother disappeared, not only her, but my father also aged a lot during this time, and he started to have gray hair.
Looking at the photo, Liu Xiyu gradually lost his mind.
She stared blankly at her mother in the photo. Her mother was still so beautiful. She was wearing a beautiful dress and holding her hand. My mother is looking at her in the photo with loving eyes, maybe feeling her mood, the mother in the photo suddenly turned her eyes and looked straight at her...
looked at her...
Liu Xiyu was very moved, but she was only excited for a moment, and then she suddenly realized, how could the eyes of the people in the photo move
She bit her lips tightly and looked at her mother in the photo, who was looking straight at her with a weird smile on her face.
What's even weirder is that in the photo, the mother's face is pale, and her eyes have become very scary. Liu Xiyu moved her eyes, the person in the photo seemed to be alive, wherever her eyes looked, her mother's eyes also looked.
Mom has been watching her...
The eyes of the woman in the photo kept moving, because Liu Xiyu quickly stared at the photo without moving, and the eyes of the woman in the photo also stopped moving.
However, she stared straight at Liu Xiyu, her weird smile grew wider and wider, she was slowly poking her head out of the photo, maybe, it wouldn't take long for her to come out of the photo...
When Liu Xiyu saw this scene, her hands began to tremble violently, but she still didn't throw away the photo.
She thought of the dream, and the photo of the deceased in the dream.
She felt the coolness behind her, and turned her head as if feeling something, only to find that at some point, the human head in the bottle, the teacher with upside-down facial features...the monsters in the dream all came out of the dream one after another, they gathered around the bed, Blocked the edge of the bed completely.
Liu Xiyu realized something, a flash of terror flashed in her eyes, she was still pinching the photo in her hand, she shrank into the bed, but when she saw her hiding in the bed, the ghosts in the dream all moved towards the bed , getting closer and closer to her.
Endless fear engulfed Liu Xiyu's heart. She wanted to shout, ask for help, and eat people... Slowly, she looked at the smirking mother in the photo, and suddenly she was not so scared.
Gradually, a sly smile similar to that of the woman in the photo appeared on her lips.
She lowered her forehead and poked her neck out towards the photo. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the room, and the ghosts in the room also disappeared without a trace. The room was quiet, and there was no one.
No one was pinching, the photo floated unsteadily on the bed, lying quietly in the middle of the quilt, not moving.
In the photo, the girl and her mother were pale, with identical smirks on their faces.
They turned their heads miserably, and turned to the man on the far left of the picture, staring at him, looking at him until midnight, when there was a sound of keys opening the door.
