"Hey! Even though we agreed to meet in the afternoon, you don't have to come at the latest time, right? Forget it, let's not make it a fuss... Hurry up and get on the bed, there are only 10 minutes left before the game starts."
In response to Catherine's cordial invitation, Yi Chen just walked forward slowly and had no intention of approaching the bed.
As Catherine said, since there were still ten minutes instead of ten seconds, he could still spare some time, so he began to wander around the bedroom.
My fingers are pressed against the table, sliding across the delicate objects on the table.
Music boxes, carousel boxes, a clown riding a unicycle, jewelry boxes, strange paper cutouts, books, and three mirrors of different sizes, made of pink plastic, wood, and metal.
Soon, Yi Chen discovered the problem.
Although these objects tend to be feminine, there are obvious differences in the age groups they correspond to.
Moreover, Catherine often refers to herself as "we" and only uses "I" in very rare cases. All these signs indicate that Catherine may be a combination of multiple women rather than an independent individual.
"What? Are you interested in other people's toys
Oh, right! Don’t open the locked drawer in the third compartment on the right side of the table. It contains my personal toys. The unlocking code is written on the cover of the first book, but don’t be curious.
"Oh... Then I won't open it."
Yi Chen turned directly to the other side of the room and had no intention of opening the drawer.
Of course, he naturally kept some of his eyes on Catherine, and saw that she was puffing up her breath and was obviously unhappy.
But Catherine stayed in bed all the time, covering her upper body with the quilt, and had no intention of getting up. This behavior reminded Yi Chen of Mr. Li in the past, as if he and the bed had been tied together and fused together.
There are many posters hanging on the wall on the other side of the dormitory, some of which even overlap each other.
The vast majority of posters are irrelevant;
But Yi Chen still found a clue. After peeling off several posters on the surface, a black and white realistic circus advertising poster appeared in front of him. To be more precise, it should be a recruitment poster.
The center of the poster faces the circus gate that is opened in a V-shape. If you stare at it for a long time, you can even feel a suction force, as if it wants to drag Yi Chen in.
There is a rather bizarre slogan written below the poster.
≮This circus is trying to recruit female employees, regardless of age, and without any foundation. If you pass the interview, you can become one of us, and you will enjoy three meals a day, a comfortable resting place, and the safe shelter given by the circus. ≯
This recruitment advertisement clearly has a big problem.
But considering the current human situation in the world, those who are desperate, unable to even achieve the most basic living security, and are about to starve to death, will not only not put their doubts behind them when they see this advertisement, but will even regard this job as a life-saving straw, as the only ray of light in their dark future.
"Katherine, have 'you' ever been to this circus?"
When Yi Chen asked this question, Catherine, who had always been relatively "friendly", had a strange distortion on her face for a moment. Although it was only a flash, it was still captured by the overall vision.
At that moment,
Many wrinkles appeared on Catherine's cheeks, and her cheeks seemed to reflect human faces. Many pimples suddenly rolled out between her eyeballs, and there seemed to be tentacles moving in her mouth. Some black liquid also overflowed from her nasal cavity.
When Yi Chen looked back again, the bed was empty.
At this moment, there is only one minute left before the agreed time of the game.
"It seems that the birth of Catherine and even the nightmare is indeed related to the circus. These ten minutes are well spent~ Successfully shake the other party's mentality, and then the 'variables' will arise. "
Yi Chen didn't hesitate and quickly lay down on the bed.
Yi Chen, who possesses a black epileptic brain, can easily control his brain and make himself fall asleep quickly.
Just when he was about to enter a sleeping state, the bed suddenly sank, stripping Yi Chen of the clothes he was wearing and causing him to fall naked into the abyss of nightmare.
By falling, you can reach the deepest part of the nightmare without having to create stairs layer by layer like in the power station or swallow nightmare matter to go deeper.
Under Catherine's guidance, we reached the deepest point.
Bang!
The body fell to the cold ground, but the intensity of the collision was not like falling from a high altitude, but more like sliding off the bed.
A newly lit white candle was burning beside me.
The surrounding ground is paved with cold black and white checkered tiles.
Yi Chen quickly stood up and picked up the candle. He did not care about his naked appearance, but immediately checked his physical condition and ability.
Feeling the normal operation of the epileptic brain, the uniform movement of the iron chains all over the body, and the little grape temporarily sleeping in the brain, I finally felt relieved.
"By the way, is this the nightmare center?"
As Yi Chen raised the candle above his chest, he saw a large number of steel wires hanging in the air, and these wires were suspending women of different ages.
From eight years old to thirty years old.
The restraint method is similar to that of a puppet, with strings tied around and even inserted into the joints of these women, strangling their necks and hanging them in the air in postures that exceed the limits of their joints.
Their heads were covered with linen bags with exaggerated smiling faces painted on the surface of the bags.
There were so many of them that due to the limited lighting provided by the candles, it was impossible to see the end.
"Has Catherine been defeated by what I said? Why doesn't she come out and explain the rules of the game?"
Yi Chen tried to walk straight in one direction, but all he saw were women hanging in the air, all in a state of death.
Combining this with the circus posters I saw before, I can immediately think of these women as being former applicants for the circus.
After walking for about ten minutes,
Yi Chen frowned and stared ahead, and found that there was a person holding a candle and walking towards him in the distance.
When I got closer, I saw that it was just a side wall made of a huge mirror.
"Have we reached the edge? What should we do next?"
Just as Yi Chen reached out to touch the huge, borderless mirror in front of him, the image reflected in it suddenly became strange, and the women hanging in the air began to twist their postures.
Pah~
The wires broke one after another.
Those twisted female bodies hanging in the air fell to the ground one after another, and there were waves of sounds similar to those when Yi Chen fell.
Immediately afterwards, the woman wearing a smiley face mask began to crawl on the ground, rushing towards Yi Chen in front of the mirror like a tide.
Faced with such a scene, Yi Chen just stood there without even turning his head.
Hundreds of women were piled up behind him, radiating tentacles poking out from between their sackcloth hoods, interweaving with each other, merging, kneading, compressing and reconstructing.
Each woman was transformed into a small part of the body, and finally became the appearance of 'Catherine'.
She stood on tiptoe, put her hands across Yi Chen's shoulders, and hugged him from behind.
Yi Chen stared at Catherine's hands crossed in front of him, and could even see obvious female body structure in the fingers. Each knuckle corresponded to two or three women hugging each other.
"I see. Is this your true form?"
"No~ What we showed you is only a part of us. If you want to know us more deeply, please go inside our bodies. We have already launched a vote, and 73% of people like you very much."
"Find me some clothes and start the game quickly... If you delay any longer, the gentlemen might come and kill us, don't underestimate the strength of the seniors."
