nightmare space

The sound of steady and gentle breathing seemed to have hypnotic power, and not long after, both Li Shuotu and Ke Junli fell into a dream involuntarily.

"thump" "thump"

- the sound of a beating heart.Big enough to be noisy.

However, the three of them seemed to be sound asleep, still leaning on the sofa motionless.

The statue of Qi Yue usually sat for a while, carefully placed Xu Youping on the sofa on his shoulders, and then walked in the direction of the sound.

The sound came from the basement.In the dark, cold basement, someone accidentally rubbed off a small piece of the chalk-drawn pattern of the exorcism circle.Over time, the pattern of the exorcism circle gradually blurred, and an invisible hand erased it.

"thump" "thump"

The moment the exorcism circle completely disappeared, the sound suddenly doubled in volume.

Qi Yue's figure disappeared into the darkness.

The gray sky outside the window had darkened at some point, indicating that this was not destined to be a peaceful last night.

Thanks to the fact that everyone didn't have the habit of turning off the lights casually, the dim light bulbs in the living room were unable to exert their residual heat after the sky darkened. Unfortunately, the room was full of ghostly shadows, and there seemed to be something hidden in the shadows cast.

Xu You woke up at such a very ghostly atmosphere moment.

He moved his head, and then realized that he was lying on the sofa, the stale woody smell was too contrasting with the cold scent when he fell asleep, making him suspect that he hadn't woken up yet, and was transitioning from a dream to a nightmare.

What about Qi Yue...?

Thinking of this, he sat up from the sofa, and was surprised to find that except for Qi Yue, the other two were lying on the sofa with a look of ignorance.

"Li Shuotu? Ke Junli?" Xu You called out twice tentatively, but the faces of the two were pale and there was no response.

What happened while he was asleep?

A sudden fear gripped his heart tightly, making him breathless.

-------------------

In the dusty basement, Qi Yue closed his eyes and "looked" at a huge heart beating rhythmically in front of him.

It was no different from the images in the human anatomy book—except that it was huge, and the blood vessels stuck to the walls, seeming to absorb the nutrients of the house.

This is...the heart of this house?Why was it sealed by the exorcism array?

Qi Yue was speechless for a moment, and the nervousness of facing the unknown prompted him to hold the hand/gun named [Judgment] in his hand.

Are you going to shoot?

Upstairs there are three people who have fallen into a dream. Without knowing the consequences of shooting, is he going to take this risk to eliminate potential risks?

In the darkness, the bloody heart swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, forcing Qi Yue to the stairs while he was thinking.

Shoot it, there's something bred in this heart.That thing made him feel an unprecedented fear.

When this thought flashed through his mind, Qi Yue knew that he couldn't delay.

If this thing is really allowed to come out, his intuition tells him that everyone can only be buried in this house.

He put the muzzle of the gun on the artery of his heart and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The viscous, foul-smelling liquid made Qi Yue who was close to him inevitably splashed all over. □□He felt a burning pain when his outer skin came into contact with the liquid.

But he held back, and pulled twice more in a row, making sure they all hit the heart.

"Boom..." "Boom...boom..."

The beating of the heart gradually weakened.

He also fell to the ground in relief, lost his strength and fell into a coma.

---------------------

Qi Yue's judgment was completely correct.

What the exorcist array seals is the devil, and what breeds the devil is the heart.He shot and broke the main artery of the heart, blocking the delivery of nutrients, and it was impossible for the demon to come out.

But this is only one of the dangers.

The food in the nightmare space is not marked whether it is edible or not.After Xu You and the others ate the dishes made with these ingredients, their abilities were unknowingly weakened, so it was easier to die.

Xu You put his finger under Li Shuotu's nose, but he didn't feel any breath.He touched the man's neck again, only to feel his hands were cold.

The same goes for Ke Junli.

To die for no reason made Xu You feel ridiculous.

He just fell asleep... How could people die?

Sitting on the sofa, he was a little thankful that he didn't see Qi Yue.If people are not here, they are still alive.

The old light bulbs in the living room flickered, as if protesting the long hours at work, a little like going on strike.

Xu You was terrified by the light flashing, afraid that his eyes would be darkened in the next moment.He poked his head around the closed gate, a little bit wanting to drag the two corpses out - putting them here, after all, it would be a long night and a dream.If he is possessed by a Lao Shizi ghost again, will he return to reality.

Opening the door, there was a gust of cold wind, and the outside was pitch black as if tightly covered by a black cloth, making Xu You wonder if the house had been quietly moved.

Bolding up his courage, he turned around and dragged Li Shuotu's body first.This is a young man after all, slightly lighter than a young man like Ke Junli.

Xu You couldn't go out of the room by himself, so he could only turn the corpse's head to the door, grab the feet with both hands, and push them out forcefully.

There was a tooth-piercing creaking sound outside the door, as if an invisible mouth full of fangs had devoured the corpse—Xu You was horrified to find that the corpse he pushed had indeed become lighter.

After handling the two corpses, Xu You was already a little out of breath—not only because of lack of exercise, but also because of excessive nervousness.

In the past, there was Qi Yue by his side to accompany him, but now he is left alone.He nestled on the sofa, looking like a ghost everywhere.

Qi Yue should still be in the house, but he didn't dare to look for it.Hidden in his heart was a glimmer of hope that the man would come to him.

He was right.

There was the sound of shambling footsteps in the basement, and someone was plodding upwards.Xu You heard the movement with the tip of his ear, and the [Atonement] dagger that Qi Yue gave him was in his hand, as if holding a life-saving straw.

He stared at the dark doorway in the basement, and saw who was coming in the occasional flicker of light.

It's Qi Yue.

Although this person exudes an indescribable stench, there is a black unknown liquid on his face, his figure is a bit inconvenient when he walks around, and he is slightly transparent...

Qi Yue who stood in front of Xu You only said a few words, "The time is almost up." and, "I'll see you off."

"?"

Xu You didn't have time to ask the question.

Qi Yue pressed his heart with one hand, and his whole body began to emit a soft white light.

Suddenly, Xu You felt that he saw the white figure in his dream.

His heart was burning slightly, his eyes began to blur, and everything around him seemed to be coated with light and became hazy.

Is... a dream...?

With doubts, he fell into the darkness.

The author has something to say:

Two days ago, I had dysmenorrhea, I was dying...

The world feels so good today...
