I'm afraid of non-human beings

The rotation of the tape stopped slowly.

There is only this nursery rhyme recorded in it, and its meaning is also obvious.

"Freddy?" Geng Qinghe said to himself, "This name sounds familiar..."

Lin You glanced at him, "Have you seen "A Nightmare on Elm Street"?"

"F, Nightmare on Elm Street?"

His face was full of confusion, and then he suddenly realized: "Ah! It's that Erpilian who specializes in using a chainsaw to make a mask out of other people's faces, right?"

Guan Chuchu: "...No, that is "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"."

And what a stupid face.

"I can't help it," he coughed embarrassingly, "Listening to the name is the type I dare not look at."

"Then why did you come to play this game?" Lin You couldn't help asking curiously.

Hearing the words, Geng Qinghe was serious, and said righteously: "People always have to challenge themselves."

"... Then I realized what despair is." He said tremblingly.

"Ahhh, I didn't expect that the next resolution could be involved in such a thing—" Geng Qinghe knelt down with his head in his arms, his eyes dazed, "Is this really the fate of lucky E?"

Lin You wanted to say something, thinking about the other party's fall down the stairs just now, she closed her mouth again.The habit of getting up quickly is really... so skilled that it makes people feel distressed. Sure enough, luck is really hard to comfort.

But then again—

If he was so unlucky, how did he pass the first two tests?

"Sorry sorry, got off track."

Geng Qinghe came back to his senses, and quickly brought the topic back on track, "Where did you just talk about?"

"Speaking of Freddy's origin," Guan Chuchu frowned, "But, in fact, I've only heard that this movie is a classic..."

That is, only she has seen it.

"Freddie Krueger." Lin You read out the name.

Seeing the eyes of the two looking over as if they were saved, she smiled.

"This guy was a serial killer who specialized in preying on teenagers. After being burned to death in the boiler room by the angry parents, he was unwilling to give up and turned into a demon to seek revenge on them."

This kind of routine is not uncommon in other ghost movies, but it is his ability that makes the "Ghost King" Freddy different from other ghosts...

"Dream," she said.

Geng Qinghe: "...Eh?!"

"To put it simply, it's that-oh yes, 'I love killing people in my dreams'." Before the other two had time to complain, Lin You said again, "People's mental state is the most relaxed when they are dreaming, and Fu Leddy can sneak into other people's dreams, and kill that person in the dream without anyone noticing. The victim will die in the same weird way in reality, and the police can't find it out. People who know the truth It's just going to be taken as a lunatic."

Also full of tricks.

Geng Qinghe and Guan Chuchu's expressions were quite ugly.

"So," he remembered something, "that 'never sleep'..."

Lin You said "hmm".

"Literally. Whenever you're asleep and dreaming, you're giving Freddie a chance."

"But...how is this possible," Guan Chuchu murmured, "how could it be possible not to sleep?"

Especially at this damn time.

The people who came here have just passed the initial two levels. The game system sent them here, but did not refresh their status.

Everything is based on simulated reality, which means that they have not eaten or slept for at least twelve hours.

Twelve hours of high tension is enough to make people mentally tired, and several people are more or less tired.

It’s okay to be hungry, just in case you accidentally doze off in the early morning——

It's all over.

"This is not the worst case yet," Lin You said. "Just because we know that we may be attacked by Freddy in our dreams, we can't guarantee that he is the only one here."

She looked up at the wall clock on the wall, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and there are seven hours until the early morning, it's okay to catch up on sleep while you still have time—"

In the middle of the conversation, there was a sudden sound of turning a hand not far away. They were all startled and looked back in unison.

The person who opened the door was a fat middle-aged man, half bald on the top of his head, with a drunken beer belly, holding a paper bag and struggling to squeeze in through the hotel door that was pushed open by his shoulders.

"Yo," he looked up and saw the three people standing by the counter, he was not surprised, "Why are you all staying here, didn't you say that you have to go back to your room to rest after a long journey?"

It seems that their setting here is a foreign tourist who came from afar, and seeing his familiar greeting attitude, Lin You and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, guessing the identity of the other party.

Guan Chuchu said "uh": "I'm sorry, we were a little curious when we saw this tape recorder, so we listened to the tape inside..."

"Tape?" The boss asked blankly, "This is the tape recorder I just bought from a second-hand store, and I haven't had time to put it in it yet."

Lin You realized that something was wrong, and immediately opened the lid of the box.

It's empty inside, so there's no tape!

Now it's serious.

If there was still a little bit of luck before, Freddy's target was them, and they were the only ones.

"No, no, nothing." Geng Qinghe asked tentatively, "Boss, why did you..."

"Hi."

The hotel owner waved his hand, "I'm just a small dilapidated hotel that I opened casually. I usually don't have any customers, and I don't need this money to make ends meet. I just like to wander around and drink a few sips of wine. You can live here however you like! "

"Then can we change rooms?" Lin You blinked, smiled, and asked kindly, "We all came together, it's inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs, so let's change to the ones next to each other... "

She had a good attitude, and the boss who didn't mind at all agreed immediately: "Yes!"

"Just a little bit," he said, "don't go out and wander around in the middle of the night, this place...it's not very peaceful recently, it's very evil."

Geng Qinghe swallowed nervously—he didn't want to make trouble, but if he couldn't bear it, he would probably come to them on his own initiative.

Guan Chuchu: "That...why is it unfair?"

The boss probably didn't expect her to really ask, and got stuck.

"Well, I usually don't read the news, and I don't know much about it. I only heard that there were murders and disappearances in the past two months." He said, "If you are really curious, there is a small library in the next street. The latest newspapers and the reading area are all open to the public, just go and browse.”

"Wait," Lin You suddenly realized a question, "What time does the library close?"

Boss: "It's a small place, six o'clock."

... Gan!

Geng Qinghe rushed upstairs, and ran back in less than 2 minutes—this time, he paid attention to avoiding the hole in the stairs.

"He said no," he gasped, "let's go."

There is only one hour of investigation time left, and of course there is not much time to persuade the lonely and lonely teammates.Fortunately, the library the boss mentioned was actually on the adjacent street more than ten meters away. As soon as they entered, they went straight to the newspaper area without being stopped. The three of them divided their duties and hurried to the library before closing Several newspapers with dubious news were found.

"The disappearance case and the bizarre murder case that even the police can't figure out, the time overlaps and overlaps, so it shouldn't be the same guy... right?"

Guan Chuchu held up those photocopied copies.

"The murder case should be written by Freddy." Lin You poked his head to look, "Is the missing person an adult or a child?"

"Both adults and children, is there any problem with this?"

Lin You shook her head, she just wanted to guess "who" she might know.

It was getting late, and they returned to the small hotel before nightfall.The boss didn't go out to drink this time. He sat behind the counter and saw them coming back, so he put the key with the house number on the table.

"Here, don't you guys want to change rooms?" He pouted, "These two are next to the two downstairs, just give me the original key and take it away."

Lin You thanked the boss with a smile, and turned to discuss the room allocation with his teammates.

"I'm still 105 from before," she said, "These two keys belong to you, if Chuchu wants to change them, you can discuss it? Then after dinner, take a nap while you still have time."

Guan Chuchu's face was full of worry.

"Are you going to stay awake as much as possible from now on?"

"Hush." ​​Lin You pulled them away from the shop owner, "You are, I am not."

...? ? ?

"If Freddy really wants to attack us, there are other guys who are eyeing us. It's not a problem to stay up all the time." Lin You smiled, "Don't be judged to have died of sudden death within two days."

As long as they faced Freddy's bad behavior in this state, she had no doubt that the "shady" - that giant eye would do this.

"So someone has to meet him, so I'll recommend myself."

Although they knew what she said was reasonable, the two still looked at her worriedly, "Is there any problem?"

"You guys help me to pay attention to the movement." Lin You pondered for two seconds, "Come and wake me up in case, anyway, you can avoid the attack as soon as you wake up."

Geng Qinghe still couldn't let go, "But if we really can't bear it and fall asleep..."

"Then..."

She leaned close to their ears and whispered a few words, Geng Qinghe's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lin You unconsciously with admiration.

……yes!Why didn't he think of it!

"If there is no objection," Lin You made a final decision, "The next step will be done like this."

-

The second hand of the clock on the wall went down and down.

The time for the official start is getting closer.

Geng Qinghe, who had changed rooms, sat at the desk, staring at the scissors and the empty coffee pot in a daze.

Dinner is a simple meal prepared by the boss, which tastes good for hungry people.After eating a full meal, you will be sleepy, but there is such a heavy mountain on your heart, and you can only fall asleep for an hour or two after tossing and turning.

He also told Yin Sheng who was upstairs about the idea of ​​the big guy surnamed Lin, and the latter also agreed to the plan, and now is the time to wait for its implementation.

In order to keep himself from falling asleep, Geng Qinghe tried his best to pour himself a lot of coffee, but unfortunately, the effect didn't seem to be as great as he imagined.

He braced his chin, and his heavy eyelids gradually drooped.

"Click."

With a soft sound, the minute and hour hands coincided in the center.

— Twelve o'clock in the morning.

While he was closing his eyes, something slowly poked out from under the bed behind him.

That hand was wearing a leather glove topped by five sharp blades.

Later, its owner also revealed his full appearance.

He was wearing a red and green striped sweater, and a brown and black top hat on his head. Under the brim of the hat, his face was pitted and covered with burn scars, and bright red muscles could be clearly seen.

Freddy straightened up, as if to celebrate his debut, and moved his shoulders and neck almost angrily.

He swayed step by step, swaggeringly approached the sleeping target who lowered his head involuntarily, stood still, and the blade in his hand slashed straight towards the back of the neck——

"……what!"

His target woke up suddenly, and Freddy almost bumped into the desk and lost his waist.

Suddenly waking up, Geng Qinghe touched his inexplicably cold neck, then gasped and touched his head with a "hiss".

Strange, Geng Qinghe looked around the empty room, he always felt that someone was there just now.

"The boss is the boss, what he said is right," he sighed with sparkling eyes in spite of the pain, "the wisdom of the ancients is indeed infinite."

On the other side of reality, Freddy didn't see clearly until then, a strand of hair on the top of his head was tightly tied to a string, and the other end of the string was tied to the chandelier above his head.

In order to prevent it from being weak, several pinches were tied.

You can wake up with the pain when you lower your head.

Freddy: "..."

...Damn crazy!

He snorted coldly, seeing that this guy would not be able to fall asleep again for a while, and he didn't bother to care who the "big brother" he was talking about—anyway, he could feel that there was another person here who was dreaming Woolen cloth.

So--

Freddy stood at the door of the room marked "105", laughing out loud.

Just start with her.
