Nightmare Illustrated Collection Record [Unlimited Stream]

Yin Luming fell from the chandelier.

Li Meili, whose face was horrible and whose abdomen was completely hollowed out, had become like a lump of meat.

Rao is so, she is still alive.

Yin Luming pressed his finger on the illustration book, wanting to summon the bamboo green worm to heal Li Meili.

Li Meili's eyes and ears were cut off, but the function of her inner ear was still there. She raised her head and shook her head slightly.

Yin Luming frowned.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Yin Luming temporarily dodged behind the bed curtain.

The person who came was also a waiter with a cat's head, pushing a cart with a big bucket on it.

Faced with such a bloody scene, the waiter's cat was only careless and impatient, and only muttered in a shrill voice: "It's so troublesome to clean up today."

Then the waiter picked up Li Meili's various organs, which were almost dismembered, and threw them into the bucket like trash, and finally picked up Li Meili's body and threw it in, making a dull "plop" sound.

Yin Luming stood behind the bed curtain, his lips pursed into a line.

After cleaning up all the pieces of meat and changing the blood-stained carpet and bed sheets, the waiter left humming a little tune.

Everything in the suite returned to normal, except for the strong bloody smell that remained, it seemed that nothing had happened.

Yin Luming came out from behind the bed, and silently touched the sheet where the blood spattered just now.

Shen Lou saw that his expression was not very good, and comforted him: "It is very common for five-star dreams to have things that go against ordinary people's cognition. Your speed of scoring is too fast, otherwise you will play more three- and four-star dreams..."

"That's not the problem."

Yin Luming whispered, "I'm just thinking about the reason why this dream is so cruel to players—or, to put it another way, to human beings."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows slightly.

"The cat named Xiao Zuo has a very smooth scar on the right eye." Yin Luming said, "It doesn't look like a branch or other scratches, but like a knife edge. The dream is the reflection of the dreamer's reality. If the dreamer A murderer or a victim of torture, the presence of a cat is debatable."

Yin Luming walked to the place where Li Meili took out the knife from the cabinet before, and took a look at the things in the drawer.

Lighters, burning sticks, long needles, iron spikes...

Yin Luming's eyes darkened: "Like eleven o'clock, swapping people and cats is something that happened in reality."

Cat abuse.

Yin Luming doesn't pay much attention to the news, but he still hears about several cat abuse cases that have caused a lot of noise.

Cut off the ears of innocent kittens alive, cut their belly open, or burn them alive, and listen to the screams of cats...

After all, the real cat abuse case has nothing to do because it is not a legal issue.

But the grievances of the abused soul don't go away for nothing.

Yin Lumeng slid his fingers across the sharp iron spikes, and asked quietly: "You said that after ranking up, the types of dreams you can go to will increase."

Shen Lou nodded: "Not only the human dreams of the current era, but also the dreams left over from history, non-human dreams."

Yin Luming withdrew his finger: "Including animal dreams."

If the dreamer of this dream is a cat that has been abused, it is not incomprehensible for a cat with a vengeful mentality to return the same behavior to humans as it is, or even doubled.

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure this is the cat's dream?"

"At least part of it is." Yin Luming said, "Since Shen Mao used this dream to control the Observer Association, it must not be as simple as cat abuse. Since they have mastered the means of forcibly twisting different dreams together, this dream must not will be absent."

"How do you plan to check?"

Yin Luming said: "Li Meili seems very familiar with this process."

It shows that this is not the first time to experience this set of massacre process.However, Li Meili still survived such a serious injury, which shows that there is a mechanism for repairing reincarnation in this dream.

He put on the cat's head again and followed the waiter out.

The owl-headed attendant pushed the cart out of the suite and made two rounds to a back door.

Walking down a long sloping passage, the outside suddenly opened up, and the sky was full of stars and street lights, shining like daytime.

Yin Luming looked at the scene outside, frowning deeply.

There is a sign at the exit of the channel.

【← Restoration Area|→ Breeding Area】

Yin Luming looked in the direction of the breeding area.

This is a place similar to a farm.

The low sheds built with wooden fences and cement bricks, the earthy roads with sewage flowing across them, and the mixed smell of blood, foul smell, swill, etc. make people want to vomit.

It's just that the people in these shacks are neither pigs nor cattle and sheep, but skinny and naked humans.

Walking back and forth between these shacks, the ones carrying water and whips are not cat-headed men, but pigs or cattle and sheep heads.

Yin Luming frowned.

Shen Lou spoke his heart in his ear: "It seems to be a little more complicated than cat abuse."

Yin Luming nodded silently, and stopped to check for Han Che's intentions among the humans raised as livestock, and continued to follow the cat-headed waiter just now.

The cat-head waiter went to the repair area.

At first Yin Lumeng took a broom and pretended to sweep the floor, but soon he found that all the Maotou staff who passed by were very indifferent to him, and no one cared about what he was doing.

Yin Lumeng simply stopped pretending and followed the owl waiter into a brick room.

The brick house was very dark, and many assembly line machines roared, and the smell of blood and meat was stronger than before.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Yin Luming still felt nauseous.

The cat-head waiter lifted up the big iron bucket containing Li Meili, walked to a machine, and put the iron bucket on it.

A kobold with a husky head and a dark blue work uniform pressed a few buttons and greeted the owl with a smile: "Why are you still so broken today?"

The Maotou waiter said disgustedly: "Don't mention it, this guy has never been able to satisfy Xiao Zuo...I said, why do you have to put these guys together every time, throw them away when they are broken."

Husky scratched his head: "I don't know either."

"You dogs are stupid."

"You just feel tired of moving, lazy cat."

"Humph."

While the two were arguing, the machine started to suck away the iron bucket containing Li Meili, and after a harsh "bang bang" sound, a fresh human body fell out of the exit of the machine at the other end.

Li Meili, who has neat facial features and no wounds.

The cat-headed man went over to lift Li Meili up and tied a straw rope around her neck: "Then I'll take her back."

Huskies waved goodbye to the waiter, noticed Yin Luming standing behind the door, and said curiously: "Hey, aren't you in charge of the reception? Why are you here?"

Yin Luming was thinking about whether he should make up a reason or pretend that the other party admitted his mistake, when he heard Husky continue hesitantly, "Uh, or am I mistaken? I think you cats are really hard to recognize. Why do you have such similar fur colors? ah?"

Yin Luming said calmly: "It's because your dogs are stupid that they can't recognize you."

Husky blinked, and took out his hand from behind his back—he held a sharp kitchen knife in his hand.

Although Yin Luming teased him, Husky still said enthusiastically, "Ha, I thought someone was pretending! Only cats would dislike our dogs so much. You are a real cat!"

Yin Luming pulled the corner of his mouth.

Husky approached enthusiastically: "So you're really new here? You can ask me anything you want to know! Of course you have to do me a little favor..."

"What are you busy with?"

Husky said mysteriously: "Did you see the cat that passed by just now? I like him, can you help me chase him?"

Yin Luming: "..."

Shen Lou let out a "puchi" laugh in Yin Luming's ear.

"Why don't you chase after yourself?"

Husky said distressedly: "I would talk to him every day when he came over, but so far I haven't even asked his name."

Yin Luming said, "I can't help you much."

Husky drooped his ears in disappointment: "Huh?"

"At least I can ask you for your name."

Husky stood up again: "That's enough!"

Yin Luming thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "I just came here, why did these guys move here?"

Husky showed a clear expression: "Sure enough, cats are not as hardworking as our dogs! Although it is troublesome to move them around every time, if you don't move them, they will die directly. If they die, The grown-ups have nothing to play with, so wouldn't we be miserable?"

Yin Luming's eyes flickered: "Adults play frequently?"

Husky tilted his head: "Shouldn't be very frequent? According to my experience here, each guy will be sent over for repair after two or three days of playing. Only a few of them don't know why they are particularly easy to make adults angry They were sent over in a day."

"Where did these guys come from?"

Husky licked his nose, a little puzzled: "Aren't they all guests, this should be your cat's work area, why don't you know?"

Yin Luming calmly said: "I just came here, I hid and slept for a whole day, and I forgot about my work."

Husky laughed: "It really is a lazy cat!"

Yin Luming had another conversation, and found that this husky had been stationed in this restoration area all year round, and was completely focused on the cat-headed waiter in front, basically ignorant of the information about this dream.

The restoration area basically accepts several human beings who have been abused to the point of being unable to continue every day.Except for Li Meili, who makes the cat adults angry every time, if the others can still talk when they send them over, they will say "kill me" and "let me go" in their mouths. .

Yin Luming noticed that this husky didn't seem to have any grudges against humans, so he touched his attitude tentatively.

Husky scratched his head: "Humans are just like that. Although they will hit me occasionally, they will also give me food."

Yin Luming frowned slightly: "Then why do you..."

Will it appear in this dream?

Asking this question was a bit out of line, Yin Lumeng didn't say it, and only bid farewell to Husky.

Husky waved his hands enthusiastically: "Remember to ask him his name for me!"

……

Coming out of the restoration area, Yin Luming planned to visit the breeding area, but just a few steps there, a tauren stopped him with a straight face: "The front is the breeding area, cats are not allowed to enter."

Even if Yin Luming found a corner and turned into a tauren, he was still stopped, but the reason was changed to "You are not a cow you know, so you can't enter."

Yin Luming considered Niu's character traits in the real world, and left temporarily without forcing.

"This dream seems to have a three-layer structure."

Yin Luming sat in the corner of the cat cafe in the front hall, watching the occasional pale-faced guests who came to the door, his brows were tightly furrowed, "The highest level is purebred animals, so far I have only seen cats, not sure if there are dogs or Cows. They are the true owners of this cat paradise and enjoy all the services it has to offer.”

Shen Lou floated out and sat opposite him, fingering the wind chime casually: "The second floor is half animal and half human... um, monster?"

"These half-humans are employees of Cat Paradise, and they are responsible for managing the order of the next level and providing services for the first level." Yin Luming lightly tapped the table with his fingers, "From the information we have so far, they seem to belong to animals. Anthropomorphic, the way of thinking is still influenced by animal images.”

Shen Lou added with a smile: "Well, there are quite a few human parts too... Generally, dogs don't like cats, do they?"

Yin Luming's eyes dimmed, and he finally said: "The lowest level is human beings. It is basically completely replaced with the status of pets and livestock in the real world, and even worse."

In reality, there are still a few cat and dog abusers, but in this dream, bloody tragedies happen every night in every box.

"Now there are two questions. First, it is understandable that the protagonist of the cat abuser takes revenge on humans as a dreamer. Why is there a breeding farm?"

Shen Lou rubbed his chin: "Slaughtered animals also have resentment towards the human beings who control their life and death. Of course, most of the time, this kind of resentment is extremely shallow, not enough to pull people into nightmares. "

Yin Luming nodded: "The grievances of the animals in the farms and slaughterhouses are deliberately twisted together with the grievances of the abused cats. To sum up, this dream is a nightmare of resentment from animals that have been hurt and killed by humans to revenge on humans in the real world. Should the dreamers be these animals?"

Shen Loudao: "Judging from the animal dreams I have come into contact with before, it should be more than just animals."

"Oh?"

"There are two keys to breaking the level. One is enough power, and the other is to find the obsession of the dreamer. The higher the difficulty of the dream, the more impossible it is to break through pure violence. The difficulty of animal dreams is basically four Because the thinking and intelligence of animals are not as good as humans, the logic of their dreams is very simple and weird.”

Shen Lou gave an example, "For example, dogs can't distinguish between red and green spectrum, so in the dog's dream, everything is black and white and dark gray, occasionally mixed with blue and yellow. The scene is completely different from the world understood by human beings. It will become very difficult for players to understand this dream and the obsession embodied in the dream.”

Yin Luming nodded, and put his palm against his upper lip: "But this dream is basically the same as the real scene."

In other words, it is the world in the eyes of humans, not the world in the eyes of cats and dogs.

Shen Lou snapped his fingers: "So at least one dreamer is human."

"Then the second question—where did the humans in this dream come from?"

Shen Lou and Yin Luming looked at each other and frowned.

In fact, the human source in the dream has a very simple answer: NPC.

But Yin Luming and Shen Lou didn't think so.

It's just an ordinary NPC in the dream to vent their grievances, so there's no need to go through the repair area to bring people back to "reuse".

Like Chu Ling in the campus with flowers and scorched earth, she directly burned Yan Hang and others to death every time, and waited for the next reincarnation to do it all over again; but in the Clockwork Fairy Tale Playground and the White Clothes Reincarnation Hospital, Yueyue and Xie Qizhu faced each other. Both dolls and patients have a more "cherished" attitude and will use them repeatedly.

Because those are alien players, complete human beings.

Shen Lou stroked his chin: "Just now, after a rough look, there must be hundreds of humans in the breeding area."

"Han Che disappeared the moment the lights were turned off, maybe he was in the breeding area." Yin Luming nodded his forehead lightly, "I have to go and see."

This dream has been blocked, and only ranked players can enter before it is blocked.

The total number of ranked players is only one hundred, and it is impossible for everyone except him and Han Che to fall into it.

Shen Lou said: "But your cross-dressing doesn't work on the tauren."

Yin Luming's eyes fell on Shen Lou: "Where's your clone?"

Shen Lou coughed: "Did you forget that I used it as a countermeasure?"

Yin Luming said: "Make some noise, it will be easier to be discovered."

Shen Lou and Yin Luming looked at each other for a while, then sighed with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yin Lumeng glanced at the time—it was past one o'clock in the morning.

"faster."

……

"It's over."

Shen Lou retracted the other Shen Lou into his body, shrugged, "There is no Han Che."

Yin Luming frowned.

If Han Che wasn't here, where would he be?

"And most of the people there are not players." Shen Lou said, "There is no trace of connection with the Nightmare game."

Yin Luming asked again: "Where's Li Meili?"

"I found her." Shen Lou blinked with a smile, "You must not have guessed...she escaped from prison."

Yin Luming was slightly taken aback.

Shen Lou floated forward a little: "To find her?"

Of course Yin Luming would not refuse.

After transforming into an owl disguise, Yin Luming followed Shen Lou in a big circle and stopped at what seemed to be the back kitchen.

There was also a strong smell of blood coming from the kitchen.

Yin Luming thought of the human situation in this dream, and made mental preparations in advance.

To his surprise, the kitchen was very clean, without the corpses and bloody mess he had imagined.

Li Meili was putting on a large chef's coat.

Yin Luming turned his face away politely.

After Li Meili got dressed, Yin Luming came in and took off his disguise.

Before he could speak, Li Meili quickly said: "The time to save people is only three hours, we need to hurry up."

"Save who?"

"The person who got involved." Li Meili pulled out a dog-head mask from the cabinet, and put it on her face. "I'll find you one too—well, you don't need to pretend if you can. Come with me first." , explain to you on the way."

Follow Li Meili out from the other side of the kitchen, outside is the dark street.

Around half a street, there is a place where the garbage cans are placed, and it is full of a strong smell of garbage.

All kinds of residual limbs were spread on the garbage dump, some were dismembered, some were burnt, and some were corroded by unknown chemicals. Some heads were still screaming and moaning. The scene was horrible.

Li Meili flipped through her hands, conjuring two bags out of nowhere, and handed one to Yin Luming: "Take all the parts that look like human bodies."

On the way over, Li Meili quickly explained their purpose to Yin Luming.

Recover the body of the person killed by the cat "tired".

"Why do this?"

"If you don't do this, they will really die." Li Meili lifted a scorched head and threw it into the bag without changing her expression, urging, "Hurry up, this dream will reverse after five o'clock, we have to Fix them all before then."

Yin Luming thought for a while, and directly used the puppet technique of the clockwork puppet doll.

Puppetry can manipulate all inanimate objects, and the stumps in their hands are still alive.

This is more convenient.

Yin Luming directly moved all the garbage to the side, and only the body soaked in the sewage was left in the garbage dump.

Li Meili gave him a thumbs up: "Good job."

Then speed up the pace of picking up.

The two of them worked together to put all the tattered bodies into two bags - Li Meili's bag was made of unknown material, and it was still only big enough to hold a dozen or so people's bodies, and it was easy to lift.

After cleaning up, Li Meili took Yin Luming straight to the repair area.

The husky in the repair area was leaning on the machine to take a nap. When it noticed Li Meili coming, it yawned and waved: "Shift change? Why is it so early today?"

He noticed Yin Luming and was a little puzzled, "Hey, this is not what I saw during the day..."

Yin Luming calmly said: "You admitted your mistake, our hair color is different."

The husky was stunned for a moment: "Ah, is it... well, our dog is indeed a bit colorblind..."

Li Meili said: "Go back, leave this place to me."

When the husky heard that he could go back to sleep, he didn't care about the color of his fur and left happily.

To fool the husky away, Li Meili dumped all the bodies in the two pockets into the repair machine.

Seeing Li Meili skillfully manipulating the repair machine, Yin Luming frowned slightly: "Mixed together for resurrection?"

"It's okay, the machine can tell the difference." Li Meili wiped off her sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, "I was messed up by Xiao Zuo for a while today, and I thought it was too late... Fortunately, I have you."

Li Meili turned her head to look at Yin Luming, "Let me introduce myself, I am Li Meili."

Yin Luming nodded: "Yin Luming."

"You are a player, isn't this dream already blocked? How did you get in?"

"A little trick was used." Yin Luming said, "I have something to do with the Observer Association."

Li Meili glanced at him in surprise, and suddenly laughed: "Coincidentally, I am a member of the Observer Association."
