boom..
boom.
boom!
In the dark room, the woman in the floral dress banged her head against the door with increasing frequency and force. Not only did more blood plasma appear on the door, but even the door panel began to crack and dent.
Suddenly she stopped.
She didn't move, and then there was a 'cracking' sound in her neck, as if a part without lubrication was turning with difficulty and causing friction.
Tianyang did not continue observing. He rationally chose to leave the window and did not explore what was inside to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He walked forward and came out of the exit of the passage. There were two directions to choose from. Tianyang remembered what A'li had told him and turned left.
On the left is a short corridor with some cardboard boxes stacked on the side and a half-open wooden door at the end.
Tianyang walked over and opened the door. There was a room inside. The room was not big, and many of the square bricks on the floor had been broken. Irregular fragments were scattered around, exposing the rough and uneven ground.
There is a wardrobe at the entrance. There are red papers on both sides of the double doors with a phrase written on them: "Safe entry and exit."
In the corner in front of the wardrobe, there was a food cabinet. The cabinet door was gone, and there were many empty bowls inside. One of them contained a sticky liquid. The dark red liquid made Tianyang frown.
Opposite the cabinet was an iron bed. There was nothing on the bed, but on it was a coverless book with some words on it.
Tianyang picked it up casually and saw that the words were very sloppy. Tianyang could understand the meaning of the words, but when they were put together, they did not make any sense, as if they were randomly pieced together.
He flipped through a few pages at random and was about to put it down, but when he opened the page in his hand, he found that the text was relatively neat and the sentences were smooth, piecing together a relatively complete meaning.
"It stinks, it stinks so badly, has anyone died here? This damn place is so crowded with tall buildings that it's hard to even see the sun during the day. It's like living in a grave."
And next door, that brat is so noisy. She used to get along well with her sister. Her sister is a very gentle person, but since her sister went somewhere, that brat has been howling every day.
That was such a scary little ghost. Yesterday I went to knock on the door, but it didn't open. However, through the crack I saw her howling and stabbing something with a knife, and there was blood all around.
Damn, they are all crazy, I really want to move away...'
... ...
"Are there anything like this in a place like this?"
"Is this someone's nightmare projection?"
Tianyang put down the notebook and without lingering, opened another door at the back of the house.
Outside the door was a corridor with tiles inlaid with a small checkered pattern. At the front corner, there were two plates on the ground with some moldy fruits piled on them. In the middle was a bowl filled with white rice with a red candle stuck on it.
The candle was lighting a faint flame with a hint of dark green, illuminating a wooden door in front that was open but tightly closed.
There were red papers pasted on both sides of the wooden door, with the short sentences "Peace is a blessing" and "Wealth and honor come from heaven" written on them respectively.
At the end of the passage, he turned left again. When he turned left, Tianyang saw doors on both sides of the wall. Some were made of wood, and some were large iron doors. On both sides of the door, there were red papers with short sentences or
There is a single word pasted in the middle of the gate: Fu.
As he passed by those houses, Tianyang saw through the windows that most of the rooms were empty, but in one of the houses, Tianyang saw a man sitting on a chair in the living room.
The living room was pitch black, but in front of the man was a square machine. Its screen was on, but there was no picture on it, only flickering spots of light like snowflakes.
The man sat quietly in the dark living room, looking at the rustling screen, and occasionally chuckling, as if he saw something funny.
Tianyang walked away silently. At this moment, the man in the living room turned his head back little by little and turned his head 180 degrees. If Tianyang had not left at this moment, he would have found that there were no eyes on this man's face at all.
After a moment, the eyeless man turned his neck again and continued to turn his head back to the front in a clockwise direction.
Chuck...
He laughed again.
Squeak.
Tianyang pushed open the rusty iron door. It was unknown how long it had not been used. When he pushed it, a large amount of dust fell off the door.
Tianyang came out of the door and suddenly heard a sharp cry from far away, like the cry of a night owl, like sharp nails scraping across a blackboard, making Tianyang frown.
After walking past a wall with "No Posting" printed on it, Tianyang came to a fork in the road. He naturally chose to turn left, stepped over a puddle, and saw a shop with a closed door in front of him. There was a sign on it that read "Cai's Paper-Zha Shop". There was also a yellow light bulb hanging on the sign. The light bulb was on, but it blinked from time to time.
There was no other passage here. Just when Tianyang was about to try to push open the door of the shop, he heard faint conversation coming from inside.
A woman who sounded a bit older said, "I heard that something happened to the pair of sisters who lived next door to Xiao Dai. The elder sister disappeared, leaving behind a crazy girl of six or seven years old."
An elderly man's voice rang out: "I heard from Doctor Tang that the younger sister is mentally ill and often does dangerous things. Not long ago, Aunt Liu's cat disappeared, and finally a cat's head was found behind the sisters' house. Everyone suspects that the cat was chopped off by the younger sister."
"Her sister has taken care of her for so many years. She must be tired, so she ran away. I would do the same if I were her." The woman sighed.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. It's getting late. Let's go back quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow."
There were footsteps sounds from inside, as if the two people had gone far away. After a while, Tianyang pushed the door of the shop.
The door creaked and cracked open, and suddenly a strong stench came out, as if something had been rotting inside for many days.
Tianyang suddenly remembered the notebook he had seen before. Didn’t it say that the area around here smells very bad recently, as if someone had died
boom!
The wildfire was blazing, illuminating the inside of the door with a purple-red glow. With the help of the firelight, Tianyang saw that there were two black coffins placed in the middle of the shop inside the door, with a corpse lying in each.
There were two corpses, one male and one female, wearing white linen clothes, with blue faces, eyes closed, and many corpse spots on their bodies. It was unknown how long they had been dead.
Near the two coffins, there are paper people and paper horses made of paper, but no one knows what their function is.
Tianyang looked around and it seemed that no one had been walking around here for many days.
The floor and cabinets were covered with dust.
But if there was no one, then who was talking just now
Tianyang snorted and looked at the bodies in the coffins, wanting to burn them. But after thinking about it, he quickly walked past the two coffins, came out of the back door, and came to an alley.
There were many shop signs hanging on both sides, with several electric lights on, allowing Tianyang to see words like "shoe repair", "dentist", and "cheongsam customization" written on the signs.
Just when Tianyang was about to move forward, suddenly, a series of figures emerged from the end of the alley.
They were women, wearing tight, slit dresses, but they all wore white masks and held black umbrellas, passing by the alley one after another.
They walked silently, like ghosts. In addition, they were very tall, each over two meters tall, which made their legs look long and straight.
After those slender but mysterious women had passed, Tianyang continued to move forward. When he came to the fork in the road, he turned left again and saw a man in his forties or fifties lying on the wet ground behind some wooden boxes in the alley ahead.
He faced Tianyang, his expression was terrified, and his arms on the ground were shaking from time to time. At this time, Tianyang saw two figures projected by the lights behind the wooden boxes.
One of them obviously belonged to the middle-aged man lying on the ground, and the other one was hiding behind the wooden box and lying on the middle-aged man.
The sound of chewing food was heard softly behind the wooden box. After a moment, the man lying on the ground was suddenly pulled back by something, and his body hit the wooden box.
The wooden box suddenly fell over, and the shadow projected on the ground quickly retreated and shrank into an open wooden door.
The wooden door creaked open and then slowly closed. When Tianyang walked over, the door was already closed. No one knew what had dragged the man on the ground away.
At this time, a dry cough sounded from the front, and then Tianyang saw his father appear under a street lamp carrying Juque.
"Dad?" Tianyang called softly, walked quickly forward, and saw his father put his finger to his mouth and made a 'silence' gesture.
Then Su Lie pointed to an iron door nearby and took Tianyang in. Inside was a small warehouse with items piled up in a mess and tools scattered all over the floor, but there were no windows on the three walls and it was well sealed.
After Su Lie closed the iron door, he whispered, "This place is very similar to the Reverse Realm No. 127, but to be honest, this place is much more creepy than the Reverse Realm."
Tian Yang recalled what he had seen along the way and nodded, "I have the same feeling. Although there doesn't seem to be anything particularly evil here, there is an indescribable sense of distortion."
"If an ordinary person were thrown into a place like this, he would go crazy in no time."
Su Lie said in a deep voice: "This may be because of the Dream Goddess. She is here. She has gone crazy and twisted, so she affects this maze."
"Dad, haven't you met A'li yet?" Tianyang looked out of the crack in the door.
"No, I wonder where the little girl is now?" Su Lie said with some concern, "I hope she's okay."
"She has some of the power of the Oneiroi, so she should be able to protect herself. I..."
Tianyang was just about to propose setting off to look for A'li when suddenly the big iron door of the warehouse slammed, the door vibrated, and clanged.
Through the crack in the door, Tianyang saw a long shadow appear outside the door!
