[Comprehensive British and American] Welcome to Arkham's Infinite Journey

third night 12

When Paul regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a room surrounded by snow.

The whole room was empty, except for an automatic coffee machine placed in the middle of the room.

Paul lowered his head and found that he was holding a paper cup in his hand, as if he was going to...get some coffee?

Paul isn't so sure.

Because he couldn't remember why he was here or what he was doing the last moment.

Always felt……

Seems like you forgot something very important?

He seemed to be looking for someone to come here.

But who is he looking for?

"Hey! Paul."

An extremely hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly sounded behind Paul. The pensive Paul was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw a man with a terrifying face standing a step away.

The man's face retained very serious burns, no matter what kind of expression appeared on his face, it only made people feel horrible.

However, this person was wearing a clean white coat, and he looked meticulous.

Paul, who was frightened at first, immediately remembered the identity of this person the moment he saw this person.

"Dr. Freddy?"

Paul shouted uncertainly.

The three words "Freddy" made Paul hesitate for a moment.

Always felt……

These three words seem to be very important to him?

Dr. Freddy grinned, showing his sparse teeth, and let out a chuckle.

Those eyes fell on Paul, which only made Paul feel very uncomfortable.

He couldn't help frowning, but considering that he was just a guard working for Dr. Freddy...

Yes, he is a guard.

A guard working for Dr. Freddy.

A very important task is being performed right now.

This mission is...

Paul looked at the coffee machine placed in the middle of the room.

His task now is to keep an eye on the coffee machine.

This is not an ordinary coffee machine, but a "universal coffee machine".

As long as the input can be recognized by this coffee machine, and affirmative text, it can replace the corresponding "liquid".

Sounds outrageous.

But that's why it's so valued by Dr. Freddy.

That's why Paul stayed alone in this room, guarding the coffee machine.

With an uncomfortable smile on Freddy's face, he walked around Paul and walked to the coffee machine, "You didn't do anything weird with this coffee machine, did you?"

Paul put the paper cup in his hand into the groove of the card machine: "...No, doctor."

"Don't be nervous Paul, even if you asked for something weird, I won't blame you." Freddy's mouth twitched even wider.

This makes the corner of his mouth look like it's split in half and elongated.

Just looking at this face can make people think of many bad things.

For example, the legendary Gap Girl, the man-eating shark and the like.

Paul turned his eyes away with some palpitations, and landed on the electronic screen of the universal coffee machine.

Dr. Freddy is typing on it.

Paul watched and read it in his mind.

"Clean water."

The clear water was poured out by the coffee machine and fell into the paper cup that Paul had just put into the groove.

Freddy picked up the paper cup and handed it to Paul, "Taste it, is it clean water?"

On the premise of knowing the settings of this "universal coffee machine", Paul resisted the glass of water.

But it's just a glass of "clean water", there seems to be no reason to refuse, and Dr. Freddy is his "boss".

Thinking of this, Paul took the paper cup and tasted a little bit, with a strange look on his face.

"It is indeed...clean water."

It's just that the water is really too "clean".

Although the water that people usually drink is colorless and tasteless, it still contains different elements and substances.

Many of them are beneficial to the human body.

This is why when people drink water from different places such as tap water, well water, river water, ground water, etc., there will be "different tastes", some are sweet and some are bitter.

Even in modern society, the daily visible water is artificially added to filter water, so that the "water" in human society can be filtered to meet the standard of recycling and drinking.

So there is no way to really call it "odorless" and "clean".

But when Paul drank this glass of water, he clearly felt the meaning of the word "clean".

"yes."

Freddy responded seemingly indifferently, took another paper cup and placed it in the groove, and began to enter new text.

"Cola."

After the Coke was poured by the universal coffee machine, he asked Paul to take it and taste it. After confirming that it was Coke, he put another quilt on it.

"Human type A blood."

Paul's pupils constricted for a moment, and his heart thumped violently.

The bright red blood was also poured out by the universal coffee machine.

For a moment, Paul didn't know whether to reach out, but Freddy had already taken out the paper cup containing human type A blood.

Paul: "...Do you want to taste this too?"

The corners of Freddy's mouth widened, "Dear Paul, think about the salary you get for working here, as well as bonuses and benefits. I haven't injected human saliva or urine yet."

Paul thought about it, and remembered that working for Freddy here, he could receive an extremely high and enviable salary every week, and there were never many benefits and bonuses.

It is absolutely impossible for him to lose this job.

So Paul's heart swayed, and he stretched out his hand.

Freddy smiled even wider.

Then he entered "concentrated sulfuric acid" on the electronic screen of the universal coffee machine.

The corrosiveness of concentrated sulfuric acid is self-evident, but it is strange that the paper cup provided by the universal coffee machine itself has not been corroded.

Paul stared at the half cup of concentrated sulfuric acid with an ugly expression, the resistance in his eyes was very obvious.

Freddy shrugged, but didn't force it.

But at some point, a pair of blade-like steel claws appeared on his right hand.

Paul was surprised and puzzled when he saw it clearly, and couldn't remember whether Dr. Freddy's right hand was like this before.

Then Freddy entered the names of many different types of liquids, even semi-solids and solids, on this universal coffee machine.

It is confirmed that this so-called universal coffee machine can really pour out nothing except the liquid that exists in reality.

But it was enough for Freddy to have a good time.

Many paper cups carrying different liquids were all placed one by one in the open space of the room by Paul.

He just stood aside, watching the grin on Freddy's face grow more terrifying.

Feeling apprehensive and confused.

Why does Dr. Freddy look like he's touching the machine for the first time?Shouldn't it have been studied for a long time?

But Paul dared not ask the question in his heart.

After the room was almost out of place, Paul finally said, "Dr. Freddy...it's out of place."

Freddy, who was happy, turned his head and glanced at the situation in the room, and frowned in disappointment, "Okay, okay," he looked at Paul with a cold look, and there was even a trace of pity in it, "Then Let's have one last drink."

For some reason, Paul felt a strange sense of familiarity with everything in front of him, and he also felt a strange anxiety in his heart.

This anxiety seemed to urge him.

Urging him to stop what Freddy did next.

Due to the relationship between "identity" and "responsibility", Paul struggled for a long time and did not step forward immediately.

During this period, Freddy turned his head to look at Paul, finished typing after a while, and took a step back.

"how do you feel?"

Freddy looked very concerned and asked.

Paul was at a loss, not understanding why Freddy suddenly asked, "...I'm fine?"

"Oh?"

Freddy's terrifying face twisted where his eyebrows should be, and then they heard the sound of the universal coffee machine pouring drinks.

clap la la...

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

With the sound of water flowing, Paul's face quickly turned pale, and at the same time, he became dizzy and weak.

"...I feel...I feel bad."

Paul thought of something, staggered to the universal coffee machine, and saw the words "Paul's whole body blood" written on the electronic screen of the universal coffee machine.

Paul shifted his gaze tremblingly, and saw that the liquid that was flowing down at this moment was bright red blood.

It's his blood.

He wanted to reach out to block it, but there was no way.

Excessive blood overflowed the paper cup and flowed out.

Paul kept yelling "NO" in his mouth, but he only felt weaker and weaker.

He looked at Freddy with pleading eyes, but saw that the white coat on Dr. Freddy's body had changed into a different look at some point.

And Freddy's look...

Without mercy, even with pleasure.

The steel claws like sharp blades reached out to Paul, and Freddy smiled, full of joy, "My poor friend Paul, no matter how many times you see you like this, it makes people happy. Wait until the next time you wake up." Time, let's continue with another game. Goodbye Paul..."

Paul's vision went dark, and he felt his eyelids were extremely heavy, and Freddy's voice, which was close at hand, kept moving away in his mind.

Before losing consciousness completely, Paul finally remembered.

Yes……

All this has happened more than once.

Every time he wakes up, he will forget everything that happened before, and what he remembers in his mind is only what Freddy wants him to know.

And then again and again.

Scrubbed "to die" by Freddy.

Like reincarnation.

Not only him, but also Doug, Bell and several other players.

Why did they come here?

Why did it become like this?

It seems that because of...

Yes.

Because of……

Dean Sephiroth "saved" these players from the hands of the patients—if that was a rescue—after knowing their purpose, he said that he could send them to Freddy.

So all of them were sent to Freddy.

The dean said that Freddy was a perverted killer who had been dead for decades.

But what the dean didn't say was that after death, Freddy crawled back from hell and became...

Nightmare.

This is their mission goal this time.

They finally meet Freddy.

But not only could they not release Freddy, they couldn't even escape themselves.

Paul's consciousness was plunged into darkness, and he felt as if he had been stuffed into the universal coffee machine by Freddy who was in a good mood.

When the lid is closed, he can't hear anything.

Freddy snapped his fingers.

The room full of paper cups returned to its original appearance in an instant.

The dazed Bell appeared in front of the universal coffee machine.

Holding a paper cup in his hand, his consciousness gradually returned.

Everything looked as it did when Paul "woke up".

……

The door of Dean Arkham's office was opened, and when Chief of Guard Kesh walked in, he saw little Abby sitting on the sofa beside him, with a pair of big eyes open, staring motionlessly at the box that was opened in the corner.

I don't know what's in it that can make little Abby look so focused.

Cash walked all the way to Sephiroth's desk and stopped.

"Dean... Batman is here, looking a little anxious."
