escape the nightmare

"(three)

Do you know why candles are lit in the dark?

Because God said, let there be light.

Hyakki nocturnal is a carnival of darkness, where truth, falsehood and nothingness are wantonly born in the long night.Only when the light gradually comes to the world, can you see that a new day comes and everything returns to the original point.

And the prelude to light must be the melody of darkness.

Meet the darkness, you will welcome the light.

And if you want to keep the light, you must leave the darkness behind forever, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

'You turned to the light, I became your shadow'

——Watanabe Junichi.

Who is whose shadow?

Do you want to be a shadow?

"

The pages of the book were trembling non-stop, and Lin Feng found that he couldn't restrain the fluctuations in his heart.

He never expected that everything was not over yet.It's because he thought too simply.

The hints given in the book this time were very long, and Lin Feng was caught off guard by this fact, it took him a few minutes to read through the content over and over again.The tone of the book, sometimes literary and sometimes mischievous, made him puzzled, and even after reading it, he almost forgot the previous content.

This time it was Lin Feng who closed the book himself.

During the few minutes of reading, Lin Feng kept taking deep breaths.He told himself to be calm, to be calm.It was true that I was careless before, otherwise I wouldn't have been scared so easily.He briefly introspected and reviewed his previous behaviors.He hinted to himself repeatedly in his heart that this was not a game, and he could no longer take it lightly.

So this time, he wants to turn against the customer.Instead of letting the book close by itself and he being forced to enter the game again, he could do it himself, start it himself.

Fight back, start here.

So the moment he closed the book, he immediately covered his ears, bent down and easily slipped under Li Mu.While brushing past Li Mu, Lin Feng unexpectedly found that there was no shadow of Li Mu in the mirror next to him.

They also have no shadow?

Li Mu obviously did not expect Lin Feng's movements to be so dexterous, and his burly body immediately lost its advantage in such a small place.He jumped forward due to inertia, fell into the pile of glass, and let out a mournful howl.

If it was normal, Lin Feng would definitely feel unbearable.But when Lin Feng saw "he" walking out of the mirror, the regret in his heart disappeared

——Li Mu should not be suffering from pain, but sending some kind of signal to "him".

I don't know if it was Lin Feng's illusion, but he saw a playful smile on "his" face, a kind of self-confidence that could catch a turtle in a urn.

Lin Feng rolled over and ran into the corridor between Li Mu and "him" before "he" could move, smashed open the door of the room and hid in.

However, when Lin Feng got up from the ground, he saw "he" appearing in front of his eyes again.This time "he" didn't give Lin Feng another chance to escape, and rushed towards Lin Feng.

"He" slammed Lin Feng's shoulder hard with his elbow. Lin Feng supported the ground with one hand, and blocked "his" attack with the other hand.But the strength of "him" was beyond Lin Feng's imagination, Lin Feng's arm suddenly went numb, and he leaned back. "He" ran towards Lin Feng again, his hands approaching Lin Feng's neck.From childhood to adulthood, Lin Feng only snatched candied haws from the brother next door at most, and he never had any fights.He had no power to fight back against "him"'s fatal attack, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.He swept his legs, and the air flowed across Lin Feng's side. Lin Feng's popliteal pain was severe, and he straightened up with great difficulty and fell to his knees again in the corner of the wall.

This is not the way to go!

In a blink of an eye, "his" arms were wrapped around Lin Feng's neck, and Lin Feng only felt that his neck was being strangled by a cold rope. He was panting and coughing violently, and clasped "his" hands tightly with both hands.

Although Lin Feng had never fought, he still had the strength a pure man should have.So one person and one ghost were in a stalemate like this, but Lin Feng's more and more rapid breathing exposed the fact that he really couldn't last long.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth, and a fishy-sweet taste gradually spread in his mouth.

"He" seemed to feel the passing of Lin Feng's life, and he stopped entangled with him any more. With one arm, he pulled Lin Feng back directly.

It's now!

Leveraging "his" strength, Lin Feng fell backwards and kicked towards the door with all his right foot.

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and the door leaf hit the wall with a loud noise, and was bounced back due to inertia.

The moment the door was opened, all the candles in the room were extinguished.The entire field of vision fell into endless darkness.At the same time, the shrill scream sounded again, but this time it didn't last long, but it was just an "ah", and the surroundings returned to silence.

At the same time, the air flowed into Lin Feng's trachea again. He held his neck and coughed non-stop, almost coughing out his lungs, and only then did he feel a little reborn.

He sat on the ground, and after the dizziness caused by the acute hypoxia passed, he slowly stood up on the floor and staggered into the new room.

With previous experience, he roughly understood the routine suggested by this book.

His previous conclusion that "he" can only appear in places with mirrors is not wrong in itself, but his thinking has fallen into an overly one-sided misunderstanding-to truly present a virtual image, in addition to mirrors, there are also An indispensable and important condition.

light.

He paid too much attention to the existence and function of the mirror before, but ignored the position of light in the whole plot.In addition to the mirror throughout the whole game, there are also two candles that must be burning next to the mirror.

In other words, if it is not advisable to destroy the mirror, then making the light disappear must be the only way to defeat "him".

As soon as he realized this, he began to pay attention to the light sources around him.Just when he rolled and fled toward the aisle, he saw from the corner of his vision that when he rolled into the aisle, several candles in that room seemed to be extinguished at the same time, at least he couldn't see Li Mu in his peripheral vision.

In this regard, he had a bold guess.

Originally, he wanted to find a few more doors to verify his conjecture, but it was a pity that he met "him" just now, and almost confessed here.

Although it was only a rough guess at the time, seeing that "he" was about to kill him, in order to save his life, Lin Feng could only gamble at the critical moment.

As long as he guessed correctly, once the candle went out, he couldn't stay in the place without the candle, let alone attack himself.

The key to extinguishing the candle should be related to entering and leaving the room or opening and closing the door.

Now he said that he was very glad that he went out to read the almanac today.

Thinking of the experience just now, Lin Feng still has lingering fears, and there is still a suffocating feeling of being strangled around his neck. "He" was indeed the killer, and it seems that he will not be able to fully recover for a while.

While rubbing his neck, Lin Feng continued to choose the next room to go to.The moment he pushed open the door, it was just as he had imagined, and the room he was in was instantly obliterated by darkness.

At the same time, Lin Feng heard a faint scream from the left.

Oops, "he" is here again.

Lin Feng put his ears on the doors on both sides, concentrating on identifying which door the sound came from.The scream gradually became sharper and louder again, obviously the source of the sound was gradually approaching him.After roughly confirming the direction, Lin Feng pushed open a door again, and walked from the dark room to the next room with candles.

One, two, three...

To be honest, apart from constantly hiding and running for his life, Lin Feng didn't know what he was going to do or where he was going.Lin Feng knew that he obviously hadn't thought through all the hints in the book.Before he had a specific goal, Lin Feng had no choice but to avoid "him" passively and try to avoid face-to-face confrontation with "him".

While Lin Feng was thinking about the contents of the book wholeheartedly, he pushed open the door that he didn't know which door was opened with muscle memory.

The moment he pushed away, the darkness seamlessly merged with the darkness. Like the candles in the room he was in now, the new room had already been extinguished, and there was still residual lamp oil hanging on the candlestick.

Lin Feng froze for a moment in the darkness.

Have you come to this room by yourself?

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows suspiciously, the terrain here is too complicated, even a person with such a good sense of direction as him starts to get confused.While he was concentrating on recalling whether he had been in this room or not, the candle wick in the room suddenly made a pop, the candle lit up again, and the candle light returned to the room.This time, the two rooms before and after, one dark and one bright, were clearly separated.

Lin Feng naturally noticed the changes in the room. While being surprised, he suddenly started talking to himself.

"Repeating the same mistakes..."

Lin Feng sighed a long time, he slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized - he suddenly wanted to understand the meaning of the so-called "don't make the same mistake again" in the book.

——As long as you re-enter the room you have passed through, the candle that has been extinguished will be re-lit.

This is called repeating the same mistakes!

This book is really not too big a deal to watch, and it has to be written in such a manner that it is deliberately to embarrass my brain cells.

It's just that lighting and extinguishing the candle has any other use besides driving "him" away?He doesn't believe it's just a simple expulsion, because if so, without any new items appearing out of thin air, the game will enter a stalemate.He didn't want to stay in such a ghostly place for the rest of his life, what he wanted was to win the game and leave here.

The screams became more and more piercing, and each scream kept warning Lin Feng that the distance between "he" and him was getting closer.Lin Feng felt that there was only a wall between the screaming and him.Lin Feng felt the cold sweat on his forehead continuously leaking from his pores.He walked quickly to the door in the opposite direction, holding the handle with his right hand, and even began to tremble and turn white under his force.

At the next moment, "he" came out from the mirror, "he" seemed to have become irritable because of the previous miss, and didn't want to deal with Lin Feng anymore.

"He" stretched out his arms directly, fixed his scarlet eyes on Lin Feng, did not hide his killing intent at all, and pinched Lin Feng with his teeth and claws.

With a turn of his right wrist, Lin Feng leaned against the door and slid sideways against the door into the room he had been planning to enter for a long time.

The candle went out in an instant, and "he" disappeared into the dark room with screams again.

Seeing that he had completely disappeared, Lin Feng slowly closed the door.He slid down against the door, squatted on the ground, and raised his head.

Now there is a very important question -

Where did "he" go after he disappeared?
