Nightmare Illustrated Collection Record [Unlimited Stream]

Under the manhole cover is the underground pipeline, which is filled with old fishy smell and rancid sewage. When you step on the ground, you can feel the sticky mud.

This time without Yin Lumeng opening his mouth, Shen Lou has already floated out consciously, amplifying his own light to illuminate the surrounding environment.

Obviously so many mice ran out, but there were not many traces of mice left in the underground pipes.

While floating forward, Shen Lou said, "Those mice probably aren't real."

Yin Luming tapped on the pipe wall next to him: "Dream fantasy?"

"Correct."

Yin Luming let out a "huh", and suddenly stretched out his hand quickly, and pulled out a "squeaky" black mouse from behind a pipe.

The mouse's pupils were scarlet and its teeth were sharp. It was completely unafraid of being held by Yin Luming, and wanted to bite him frantically.

Yin Luming frowned and covered the illustrated book.

[Description: One of the guests of Tantan Cat Paradise, who likes to come to enjoy the food of Cat Paradise at night. 】

[Illustrated Book Unlock Skill: Guest Privilege Lv2 (consumes 2 points, command the waiter to do things). 】

Yin Luming frowned.

He thought that this mouse would be some kind of carnivorous rat, but he didn't expect it to be a guest of Tramping Cat Paradise.

What will the mice enjoy when they come to the Cat Paradise, the flesh and blood of living people?

Shen Lou crossed his arms: "Guest C, it seems that there are at least two types of A and B."

Yin Luming put away the illustration book: "The key is to understand the logic of this dream."

In this gentle and bloody carnival, cat abuse shops are one line, and human beings raised as livestock are one line, and now there are these fake rats underground.

The three lines seem to cross each other, but there is basically no logical relationship.

Even if this dream is forcibly kneaded together by three parts, there must be a link connecting them.

Shen Lou waved his hand suddenly, several light blades flashed across, and the mouse that was rushing towards Yin Luming's feet was cut in half instantly.

Those dead orangutan black mice turned into a pool of mud with a "click" and merged into the ground.

For example, the aboveground layer is close to the real world, and the underground layer becomes more fantasy.

Yin Luming and Shen Lou walked forward for a while, Shen Lou suddenly narrowed his eyes, landed behind Yin Luming, and hugged Yin Luming directly.

A ball of fire appeared in Yin Luming's hand instantly, and he asked calmly, "Where is the enemy?"

A blue light glowed all over Shen Lou's body, and he pouted his mouth downwards: "Below."

Yin Luming glanced down.

The dirt they stepped on before suddenly wriggled as if being stirred, and then spit out a black mouse, screaming frantically at the two people floating in mid-air, and trying to jump up to reach them.

Yin Luming squinted his eyes, and the flame in his hand suddenly flew to the bottom of his feet.

The dirt that stained the soles of his shoes was turning into rats gnawing at his boots as well.

With a slight wave of Shen Lou's hand, Yin Luming's two boots flew out: "I personally suggest that you give up these two shoes."

The two shoes were chewed to pieces by the mice in an instant.

Fortunately, the shoes are Yin Luming's own and are not part of the staff uniform.

Yin Luming frowned: "I didn't bring extra shoes."

Shen Lou smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm your exclusive car."

Yin Luming glanced at him expressionlessly: "Then keep going."

"As ordered."

With a smile on his face, Shen Lou changed to hugging Yin Luming, and flew forward through more and more rat swarms on the ground.

Yin Luming took the opportunity to check the time on his phone.

Five in the morning.

Just past the point where the cats on the ground floor and the staff switch.

This underground layer covers a very wide area. According to Yin Luming's memory, he has already circled several times under the tramping cat paradise.

Thinking that there are such a wave of rats underground in the cat paradise during the day makes people shudder.

Shen Lou hugged Yin Luming and flew around a few times, frowning and looking at the mouse below: "Where are you going now?"

Yin Luming thought for a while, but before he could speak, he heard the sound of "ding ding dong dong" coming from the pipe next to him.

Shen Lou flew a little farther.

A few seconds later, a sharp knife point suddenly drilled out of the sewage pipe there, and then drew a circle in place.

"Dang!"

A large piece of the metal pipe wall fell off.

There was no sewage in the sewage pipe, but a familiar face appeared instead: "Here."

Yin Luming frowned: "Han Che?"

Han Che nodded and waved to him: "Come with me."

Yin Luming and Shen Lou looked at each other.

Shen Lou blinked.

Yin Luming nodded.

Then Shen Lou followed Yin Luming in his arms.

I don't know what kind of factory this sewage pipe is from. Its diameter is close to one meter and its thickness is also very considerable.

When Yin Luming and Shen Lou bent over to come in, Han Che took out a small coin and threw it on the gap he cut just now.

The coin flashed, and the huge gap was instantly filled.

Han Che looked at Shen Lou hugging Yin Luming, and said calmly, "Your relationship is still so good."

Yin Luming asked calmly, "Where did you go?"

Han Che made a gesture and walked forward first: "Just after eleven o'clock the night before yesterday, I was directly transferred to the basement by the dream. There, there were a group of guys with animal heads holding knives in their hands, ready to give me Peel."

"Peeling?"

Han Che tore off his collar and gave Yin Luming a look.

There was a bright bloodstain on his neck, as if someone had cut him with a knife.

The location and shape of the bloodstains...

Yin Luming touched his collar, his eyes darkened.

It was exactly the same as the collar of the employee uniform on his body.

"That's right, the peeled off human skin will be used to make employee uniforms." Han Che gave a rare smile, "Of course, it didn't work. I was rescued."

While the two of them were talking, they had already turned a few corners, and the front suddenly opened up. The height of the space had increased to two meters, and a door even appeared.

Han Che pushed open the door, turned around and said, "The person who saved me happens to be the one we are looking for this time."

——The leader of the Observer Association.

Yin Luming was silent for a moment, and his eyes fell on the door.

Shen Lou rested his chin on his shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Honey, your heart beat faster, why?"

Yin Luming said in a low voice, "I don't know either."

The leader of the Observer Association is a trustworthy person appointed by Zero himself before his death.This means that there is a good chance that the person knows him, or even is close to him.

Is he zero?

What the hell happened to him in the nightmare games in the past?

What was the relationship between him and Shen Lou?

In an instant, countless questions surged in his heart, and Yin Luming didn't know what mood he was in for a moment.

There are expectations, but also a faint worry.

Even though Shen Lou and Shen Lou now have a tacit but unspoken relationship, the past of the two of them has always been an obstacle between them.

Shen Lou, who wants to destroy the world, and Zero, who wants to protect Nightmare Game.

After he entered the Nightmare game, he gradually developed a tacit understanding with Shen Lou, and the same experience happened between Shen Lou and Zero in the past.

However, last time they came to the point of life and death.

So this time...

Shen Lou suddenly said: "Don't say that you are so excited because you want to meet that little man."

"How do you know he's a dwarf?"

Shen Lou laughed: "Well, intuition."

Yin Luming was too lazy to talk to him: "Shut up and go in."

"As ordered."

Being interrupted by Shen Lou, Yin Luming was stunned for a moment.

The worries that had just flashed by just now dissipated unconsciously.

Yin Luming looked up at Shen Lou's smiling side face, his expression softened a little.

--This guy.

……

Behind the door is a place like a small warehouse, with a lot of messy boxes piled up.

Besides Han Che, there was only one little girl who looked about seven or eight years old in the small warehouse.

The little girl wears two braids, wears a pink skirt, and holds a huge lollipop in her hand.The whole person should appear at the gate of the elementary school at six o'clock in the afternoon, not in a dream full of weirdness.

Yin Luming and Shen Lou looked very calm, without showing any surprise.

Before the expected shock turned pale, Han Che shook his head with some regret, and introduced: "This is the boss of the Observer Association, Qing Yan."

Qing Yan looked back and forth between Shen Lou and Yin Luming, a trace of hesitation appeared on her pretty little face: "Which of you... is Zero?"

Yin Luming and Shen Lou looked at each other.

Yin Luming said, "Who do you think is?"

Qing Yan tugged at his hair, a little tangled: "It stands to reason that his appearance is zero..."

She pointed to Shen Lou, "But Zero's body was snatched away by the system, it's hard to say whether the system has been occupying Zero's appearance since then; and you have both the breath of zero and the feeling of the system."

Shen Lou narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a look at Yin Luming.

Yin Luming still remembered that Shen Lou said before that when he was a player, the body he used was worthless.

Shen Lou smiled and said: "Then did the entanglement come to a result?"

Qing Yan nodded immediately: "It seems that you are the missing system."

Shen Lou slightly raised his eyebrows: "Why do you see that?"

Qing Yan said with great certainty: "When the system first established the Observer Association, it was your tone."

Yin Luming frowned slightly.

In his cognition, the system has always spoken with a cold mechanical accent, rigid and blunt, a little less intelligent than Siri and AI Xiaomei, and it is really difficult to connect with Shen Lou's slightly detached personality.

"It's normal if you think it's wrong." Qing Yan sighed old-fashionedly, "After all, the system has been missing for more than 20 years. The players in the Nightmare game have changed several times, and there are not many old people left behind."

Yin Luming asked, "Why did the system disappear?"

When mentioning this matter, Qing Yan lost his face, and said: "The system has a brain attack in love."

Shen Lou touched his chin.

Qing Yan glared at Shen Lou angrily, and said: "Be good at learning how to fall in love systematically. If you fall in love, just fall in love. Emotional intelligence is basically negative. If you don't know anything about chasing someone for the first time, let's first act like someone who is good at chasing someone." How about splitting in the air? Well, the system of our Nightmare game will only destroy the world, almost destroying the sweetheart together."

Shen Lou coughed twice in embarrassment, raised his hand and said, "I have completely forgotten what you said, and if I don't remember, it means I haven't done it."

Yin Luming frowned, and it took a while before he said: "So... I am Ling? Shen Lou is the system?"

Qing Yan said: "If you didn't hide from me that you have another identity."

Yin Luming was silent for a while, and asked, "How can you be sure it's ours?"

Qing Yan took a bite of the lollipop, and sighed: "If I hadn't sensed your breath and opened the firewall, Shen Lou—well, is it still called this name? After entering the Nightmare game, Shen Lou would be recognized by the current system immediately. Back to the core of the game."

Shen Lou let out an "oh", showing dissatisfaction on his face: "It turns out that my authority is so low, it's all your fault?"

Qing Yan choked back mercilessly: "This is something you entrusted to me before you shut yourself down. If you feel uncomfortable, slap yourself a few times."

Yin Luming glanced at Shen Lou: "Why don't you regain control of the system?"

Shen Lou said: "I don't remember either."

"I know." Qing Yan sighed, "Because Shen Lou separated himself from the Nightmare Game with great difficulty, and wanted to become a serious person to fall in love with you. Back to the starting point."

Shen Lou rubbed his chin: "Do I really have such a love brain?"

Qing Yan said "hehe" twice, and said with a straight face: "Yes, you have."

Standing aside, Han Che roughly understood what he heard, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then why did it become like this?"

Qing Yan put down the lollipop that had been gnawed, and was a little puzzled: "This is also my question... Although you were really in a relationship for a while, in my opinion, it was just a young couple flirting, why did you really fight in the end?" A fight to the death? Shouldn't Shen Lou turn into a human, return his body to Zero, and then the two of them will die happily?"

Yin Luming frowned for a while, and then said, "Maybe we were enemies before, and the harmony is just an illusion."

Shen Lou pinched his waist dissatisfied.

Qing Yan categorically said: "Impossible... You were not harmonious at all at the time, and you were very angry with each other. I remember the most serious time, the system almost beat Ling to death. But the next day was still as usual, Ling just recovered Just help the system to continue to fix bugs and improve the rules, and the system has never taken back the permissions given to zero."

Shen Lou: "..."

He sighed, "This is the chasing wife crematorium."

Then he said to Yin Luming with a serious expression, "Personally, I completely, thoroughly and resolutely oppose any form of domestic violence. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract."

What Yin Luming said to Qing Yan had no real feeling at all, and he watched Shen Lou's performance with a blank face.

If Shen Lou is the system, there is actually a very contradictory thing.

"What happened to Shen Lou making a wish?"

If the system wants to realize its wish, does it still have to be a player to score points?

Qing Yan laughed: "Ah, you forgot all of this... Don't you think that Nightmare Game helps others realize their wishes purely by points?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not." Qing Yan said, "Not to mention within the scope of the Nightmare game, the rules of the real world are the common choice of all creatures living in the real world from the Great Flood to the present. They cannot be changed if they want to. Nightmare The reason why the game allows players to keep breaking through the dream world is not only to break the dream world, but also to 'refine' the obsession of these players."

Shen Lou continued: "Some whim and not solid obsessions will gradually disappear in the experience of different dreams and turn into more realistic wishes."

"Yes. When some people enter the Nightmare game, they even think of secondary wishes such as dominating the world's harem." Qing Yan said, "But they will also examine themselves when they touch the obsession of the dreamer's dream. Whether your wish is what you really want. The desire from the heart is the entry point for Nightmare Games to realize your wish."

She pointed to Shen Lou, "However, the system itself does not have this privilege... because the system is not a life born in the real world. Its wish fulfillment scope is only within the Nightmare game."

Yin Luming frowned: "Isn't it born in the real world? Where did the nightmare game come from?"

Qing Yan spread his hands: "In this world, only the zero-sum system knows the real secret of the nightmare game."

However, these two are now standing here with amnesia.

Shen Lou said: "In this case, I have another question... If I am a system but separate myself, who is the system now?"

"The current system was left before you separated." Qing Yan said intentionally, "Maybe it's your illegitimate child? Anyway, the performance is pretty bad. I don't know how many patches I have patched it over the years."

Shen Lou turned his head to look at Yin Luming, and said firmly: "It seems to be our child."

Yin Luming said expressionlessly, "Get lost."

Qing Yan looked at the same seemingly calm but dazed expressions of the two people, and sighed slightly: "If we want to talk about the past, then we have something to talk about... But you didn't come to me to reminisce about the old days, did you?"

Yin Luming pulled his mind out of their past, and glanced at Han Che: "We came here for the wishing talisman and the sinking anchor."

Qing Yan jumped down from the box and nodded: "Han Che told me something, and I have asked someone to investigate."

Yin Luming sorted out his language, and told Qing Yan everything he knew again.

It also included that he was attacked by the sinking anchor Gu Hui after he came to this dream.

Qing Yan frowned.

She called out the control panel of the Nightmare game with one hand, clicked a few times, and then raised her head and said: "Besides you, there are two other players in this dream, one is Gu Hui, and the other is the chairman of Shen Anchor."

Han Che asked: "Who is the chairman of Shen Ao?"

Shen Mao's identity as the chairman has always been a mystery. Everyone only knows his title as "Dream Maker", but they don't know his name, appearance, or ability.

"Dream Maker is the title given to him by the system." Qing Yan shrugged and glanced at Shen Lou, "I can't figure it out either. He is much closer to the system than I am to the system, and he knows the true identity of the dream maker only the system."

It's back again.

Shen Lou shook his hand without changing his expression, and several light blades emerged: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who he is."

Just kill him.

Qing Yan took out another lollipop and bit it, and said vaguely: "I thought about the possibility of someone making troubles before, but it didn't feel that serious... The power of the nightmare game is unimaginable for ordinary people, even if we If you can’t deal with this dream, as long as the Nightmare Game intervenes forcefully and changes the rules of this dream, any dream can be solved immediately.”

Yin Luming remembered the ring he had drawn just before departure.

"Zero's ring", power is to modify the rules of the world.

"But you said that their purpose is to separate the nightmare game from the real world..." Qing Yan showed a strange smile on his face, "If there were no innocent people involved, I would like to see how they plan to end up in the end. "

"why?"

Qing Yan seemed to have heard a very ridiculous joke, took the candy out of his mouth, and sneered: "Nightmare games and the real world cannot be separated... If the real world is a ship, then the nightmare game is the real world in The anchor of the sea of ​​nothingness can even be said to be closer to the 'real' than the real world, without the nightmare game, the real world would be directly annihilated in the sea of ​​nothingness."

It was not the first time Yin Luming heard this statement, and frowned.

Some thoughts flashed through his head, but they didn't take shape, making him feel like he was close to grasping the truth of the matter.

Qing Yan turned around and walked to another door: "But we can't leave them alone... Since you two are here, let's help break through together."

Shen Lou rubbed his chin: "Where is your progress?"

Qing Yan opened the door: "I caught one of the dreamers in this dream, and I am looking for other dreamers through resonance."

Yin Luming wanted to get down from Shen Lou's arms, but Shen Lou hugged him even tighter: "The ground is dirty."

Qing Yan rolled her eyes unbearably: "Stop showing off, come in."

Judging from Qing Yan's tone of voice... she and them seem to be very familiar with each other in the past.

Yin Luming, Han Che, and Shen Lou walked in together.

The inner room contained only a tattered aluminum bed, on which lay a moaning man.

His body was covered with a sheet, and the sheet was covered with bright red and dark brown blood stains, only his hands and feet were exposed.

Qing Yan walked to his side, raised his hand and tore off the bed sheet on the man.

The bloody body inside made Yin Luming and the others twitch.

Starting from the neck, all the skin on this man's body has been peeled off, revealing the bright red and white body inside; the skin on the wrists, ankles, etc. remains, and if you look at it suddenly, it may even make people think that he is just wearing a blood-red body. The illusion of a suit.

Yin Luming touched his sleeve subconsciously.

Qing Yan turned the lollipop upside down and poked him lightly on the shoulder.

The man groaned in pain: "Please kill me..."

Qing Yan shook off the blood droplets stained on the lollipop, and sighed slightly: "This person is the owner of the Cat Trample Paradise in the real world. He likes to skin the fur of animals alive, and then make them into small clothes to wear on his pets. Report for report."

After entering the dream, he endured the resentment from the skinned animal and returned the pain to him as it was.

Yin Luming frowned and said, "Why did you keep him?"

Qing Yan said: "He is not the only one who is a dreamer in this dream. I tried to solve him, but he will return to the cat paradise the next day. Only by stealing him can the time of the carnival be delayed as much as possible. .”

Qing Yan paused, "The main 'entertainment program' of this dream carnival is him; the secondary entertainment program is those who are innocently involved."
