Are you afraid?

"Who took the things away?" Nie Xi asked Yangtou.

"A boy." Sheep's head replied.

"What's the use of props?" Nie Xi asked.

"This is privacy and cannot be disclosed." Yangtou said.

...Could it be that the time progress of this dream is the same as that of the dream he entered by mistake, so when he was wandering in the dungeon over there, the little Nie Xi here has already finished all the plots, so he got this item first and left up.

Sure enough, he had to go to Lie Mingche first, and let him tell himself a reminder, otherwise he would not know the usefulness of this prop at all, let alone what the boy was using it for.

Of course Nie Xi remembered the painting scroll he encountered in the dream over there, but he didn't know what that thing was for at the time, so he just threw it in the painting jar in the study.The study room just now became a mess, and I don't know where the scrolls went.

Anyway, let's go back and have a look.

Nie Xi returned downstairs with the gemstone necklace and lamp. On the way, he couldn't help but look curiously at the last master bedroom on the second floor, and found that the door was still tightly closed, and there were no other special features.However, he will not disobey the warnings of others until he is not sure that it is really safe inside.

Returning to the dreamland on the opposite side, Nie Xi opened the study room and rummaged through the messy pile of books for the scrolls he needed.

It's a pity that he missed the time when he could get this scroll at his fingertips.The scrolls in this room are missing.

Nie Xi felt a little helpless and went to the second bedroom where George was.After all, George is willing to talk to him more, and Xu Huan is already a frightened bird.

When George saw Nie Xi come in, his mouth muscles without lips pulled a smile.

"Looks like you figured it out?"

"Yes, what should I do? Are you going back by yourself, or do you need me to do something?" Nie Xi said.

"Only you can travel freely between these two dreams. We appeared in the wrong place at first, but we can't move." George moved his puppet fingers. "However, you can take anything in the two dreams. You just need to put us in an item and take it there."

Nie Xi glanced at the furnishings of this room.It was found that the furniture was almost smashed.Remembering that there was a cabinet in the guest room, I dragged it over there and asked George to go in.Of course, he originally wanted Xu Huan to go in with him. Anyway, George is only a child, and there is still a lot of space in the closet, which saves him two trips.

As a result, Xu Huan hid in the quilt and did not come out even after killing him.

Nie Xi had no choice but to push the cabinet down first.

Fortunately, such a heavy-looking large cabinet is actually no more than a large cardboard box in Nie Xi's hands, and there is no feeling that there are other things in the cabinet.

But after being pushed into the second bedroom of his dream, George did come out.

"Oh~ it's all set up." George looked at the face slices on the floor, like a judge in a beauty pageant, and circled around those faces. "Then, please come and sit here, and I won't pull you again."

George sat in the middle of the room and patted the place beside him.

Nie Xi walked over and sat down beside him, watching what he had to say.

"I come out here, thanks to the hands and feet that the white hat lent me." George raised his puppet arm. "Otherwise I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't do much. But its generosity has a purpose. He hopes that I can find you to pick a real face for it to take back. You know, its face painting It's a little distorted."

Nie Xi nodded perfunctorily.

"These skins have been treasured by me for many years, but he thinks your aesthetics should be right, so he specially asked you to choose them." George proudly pointed to the flat faces on the ground. "Oh, after you have selected them, you have to find a way to fill in their missing parts. Because these are for my own use, the eyes and tongue are still on my face, and these cheeks are naturally useless at the time those things."

Nie Xi glanced at the faces on the ground.Without the padding of muscles and bones, they look squishy, ​​not recognizable at all.

The look that the white hat likes?Sorry, he really doesn't know.If he completely followed his own aesthetics, he hoped that the white hat could just be a pure puppet, and putting a piece of human skin on his face would only make people feel more horrified.

"What good does it do me to choose?" Nie Xi asked.

"I'll lend you the arm of the white hat, so you can deftly grasp the wire rope!" George said.

……

Nie Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the human skins on the ground.

Nie Xi picked up a human face and turned it over.

The texture is very flexible, and compared to the real human face, it is only a little cold. I don't know what kind of anti-corrosion method was used, and there is no sign of decay at all.On the back of the human face, there are many meridians that seem to be dried, which are very disgusting.

I took a few photos and compared them in my hand. Except for a little difference in facial features, there is really no other difference.Did he get it wrong?Did the white hat really just want him to pick a better-looking one?

Picking up a face and holding it in front of his eyes, Nie Xi hesitated for a long time whether to try it on his own face.

In the end, he gave up. The inside of these human skins was too disgusting. If he put it on his face, the disgusting feeling would overwhelm any other differences in these human skins.

But the moment Nie Xi put down his hand, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the lamp at his feet, and a thought gradually came to his mind.

This lamp is so quirky, try it wherever you can.

Moving the lamp to the front of him, Nie Xi picked up a piece of human skin again and held it between the lamp and the wall.

A shadow hit the white wall.

The hollow eyelids and mouth reveal light and shadow—the corners of the eyes slant and the mouth droops.The shadow seemed to be crying.

It's hard to say whether such an image is caused by the sagging skin, or the effect of the lamp.Nie Xi put this face aside first, and replaced it with a new one.

Still crying...

Nie Xi was not discouraged, and arranged the human skins that had been tried one by one and put them away.Finally, when I tried No.12, the shadow on the wall changed.

The eyes of this human skin are curved in the middle, and the mouth is pulled upwards, revealing an ugly smile.

...there is!

Nie Xi knew that his method was right, so he tried all the remaining human skins in a fit of anger, only one was smiling.

"Just this one." Nie Xi gave George the smiling skin.

White Hat had a smile on his face the whole time, and he should like that.

George didn't say yes or no, he just pushed his face back.

"It hasn't been completed yet, you can install the rest and give it to me."

Nie Xi knew that the task in this room was over for the time being, so he rolled up the human skin face and stuffed it into his pocket, and went to another room.

At this time, Xu Huan was still hiding on the bed, covering himself tightly.Nie Xi wanted to tear off the quilt, but the other party pulled it tight.There was no way, Nie Xi directly tightened the sheet and quilt, tied them tightly, and dragged Xu Huan out of the bed.

Seo-hwan yells under the covers.

"forgive me!"

"I don't want to die!"

"You are a demon, your hands are covered with blood!"

Nie Xi tried his best to keep his mind empty and not let those words get into his head.Xu Huan has been dragged downstairs.

When passing the stairs, the guy in the quilt even screamed in a realistic way, as if his head was really hurt by those steps.

This is a dream. In reality, it is impossible for him to drag an adult male so easily.

Nie Xi dragged Xu Huan into his dream without saying a word, and threw him into the guest room on the second floor.

Immediately there was a creaking sound at the door, and Nie Xi turned around, only to find that it was indeed the butcher Lardy appearing at the door with his wheelchair supported.He pointed to something under the sheets on the floor with a little smile.

"I have been looking for it for a long time, thanks to you for helping me bring him back. As a thank you, let me give you a very useful gift."

Of course, this is not the time to be polite. In the dream, all the rewards are related to whether you can pass the test smoothly.

Nie Xi stood silently at the corner of the wall, watching the four people who appeared beside the metal platform stand up, surrounded Xu Huan who was wrapped in a sheet, each grabbed a limb, lifted him up, and placed him on the metal platform, Bind him tightly with a restraint strap.

The butcher Lardy smiled softly, which could even be called a bit charitable.But his hands are worthy of his butcher name.

Those old fingers dexterously took the metal instrument next to the metal table, and inserted it into Xu Huan's eye socket as if cutting a cake.It didn't take much time, he was like an experienced gourmet who has opened countless oysters, with a slight twist of his wrist, Xu Huan's eyes completely landed on his metal plate.

The screams that were completely different from his calm and breezy movements also disappeared after he pushed Xu Huan's jaw away, and the pincers clamped it.A tongue attached to the throat was completely removed.

Xu Huan was lying on the metal platform, screaming loudly, with blood foaming from his mouth and eyes.I believe that in the near future, his face will be like the other four people at the table.

Nie Xi felt that his eye sockets were hot, and his throat seemed to have swallowed a piece of hot carbon.

If Rudy the Butcher went on, he didn't think he could hold on.

Isn't this the consequence that he didn't dare to think about? Although Xu Huan deserved what he deserved, in such a terrifying world, his end would be more painful than death.

"Take it." Ruddy handed the metal plate containing two eyeballs and tongue to Nie Xi.

The boy leaning against the wall blinked his golden eyes, which seemed to be plated with honey and looked like amber, and the soft moisture faded away, and became cold, like two pieces of matte metal.

He took the plate offered to him by Ruddy the butcher.

Butcher Lardy disappeared together with the metal table and other people in the room, including the lifeless Xu Huan, after handing over the things.

The room has returned to its original appearance.
