Dream Hall

wow - wow -

In the dark surroundings, the pale moonlight can barely illuminate the weedy path, and the crows perched on the branches are particularly frightening at this moment.

Lin Mu settled down and circled around. The road behind him was so dark that he couldn't see the original appearance clearly. Lin Mu knew that she could only walk forward.

Walking slowly along the path, before long, a dilapidated old European-style house appeared in front of Lin Mu.

Although the old house looks crumbling, the yellow lights emanating from the inside are unsettling.

Lin Mu walked towards the old house quickly, and stretched out his hand to push the door, but before his hand touched the broken door, someone grabbed his wrist, and the cold touch immediately gave Lin Mu goosebumps.

Turning his head quickly, it was Qiudi who came.

A heart returned to the original place, just about to speak, Qiudi raised her arm and pointed to the courtyard.

Lin Mu followed her movements and found a black figure in a corner of the courtyard. Lin Mu was suffocated, she was so careless.

Qiu Di pulled her to a tree, lowered her voice and said, "How come you are so slow?"

Lin Mu unknowingly followed her and lowered his voice, "I work and rest normally."

It means she doesn't know why.

"...I waited for you for half an hour."

Lin Mu frowned. In his dream, half an hour was a long time.How could she have delayed for so long without doing anything.

She hurriedly asked, "Have all those people gone in?"

Qiudi nodded: "The owner of that house came to open the door."

"Isn't that the two of us can't get in?"

Qiu Di comforted her and said, "I've observed it, and the master will come to open the door every 10 minutes. Calculate the time, and he will come soon."

squeak-

As soon as Qiu Di finished speaking, the rusty iron door over there opened, and the two looked up at the same time.

The iron door was wide open, and a man in a black hat and formal dress was standing on the right side.

While watching silently, the man said: "Distinguished guests, I am the master of this house, Greer Dai Wei. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

The two glanced at each other and slowly walked away from the tree.

Following Greer into the courtyard, the iron door behind him squeaked and shut itself again.Lin Mu didn't move, his eyes had already turned to the black shadow.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Lin Mu managed to see clearly that it was a scarecrow in a black tuxedo.

She muttered softly: "So it's a scarecrow..."

The voice was really low, but Greer, who was one meter away from them, said, "Ah, that's because there are always crows who like to steal the roses my wife planted, so I made a scarecrow. "

There are indeed many roses in the yard, and they seem to have been carefully cultivated on weekdays.

Lin Mu said casually, "The dress fits well."

Greer laughed and said, "That's my wife's favorite dress."

Greer never said anything away from his wife, and it seemed that he really loved his wife very much.

Lin Mu didn't speak any more, he still felt uncomfortable looking at the scarecrow.

When approaching the old house, Lin Mu suddenly paused.

Qiu Di looked sideways at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Mu shook his head, his eyes glanced at Greer who had turned around to look at them smiling.

Qiu Di understands that Lin Mu has something to say in front of Greer.So he nodded slightly and stepped into the door.Lin Mu turned his head again, and Greer reminded with a smile, "Please come in."

Lin Mu also smiled at him, and praised: "The roses in your house are so beautiful. I wonder if I can have the honor to meet my wife?"

Greer's smile became a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, Ma'am happened to be away for a while."

Lin Mu also showed a regretful expression: "That's really a pity."

Come to the old house.

Greer made a gentleman's slight bow, and stretched out his hand in the direction of the restaurant: "Please."

There was a very long table in the restaurant, two men and a woman sat on the left, and two men sat on the right.Seeing Lin Mu and Qiudi coming in, there was no expression on their faces.

They took their seats on the right.

Greer took the main seat.

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and clapped his hands, and through a small door on the inside of the restaurant, a maid came out pushing a dining cart.

The maid put the dishes on the table one by one, and then put the plates, knives and forks in front of the taskers.

The maid first put the plate in front of Lin Mu, then made a detour to the left, and put the plate in front of the first man.This move made everyone puzzled.

Because Lin Mu was sitting on the outermost edge, it was not surprising that she was the first to give her a plate, but according to this order, the second one should be Qiudi, why did she go around to the far right?

Regardless of everyone's probing eyes, the maid still delivered the dishes in a certain order.

So everyone affirmed that this is an order.

Greer said with a smile: "Dear guests, it is really touching that you have come to my house from a long distance, from day to night, I think you must be hungry, so we specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for you , you must not be polite."

Even so, no one moved their chopsticks.Greer was surprised: "Don't you like the dishes here? This is really my negligence."

When he spoke, his eyes were on Lin Mu.

Lin Mu blinked, resting his chin in one hand, picked up the fork in the other, rolled up the pasta with the fork, and handed it to his mouth.

Just when everyone thought she was going to eat it, she stopped, Lin Mu looked at Greer with big round deer eyes, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Greer, what does your wife like to eat? I think My preferences are so similar to hers, and the dishes I like should be the same."

Greer's smile seemed to froze for a moment, but it didn't seem to be there. His transformation was so fast that it was hard to grasp.He still smiled: "Ah, sorry, Madam's favorite dishes won't be available until noon tomorrow."

Lin Mu nodded regretfully when he heard the words, put the pasta back on the plate, and said, "Then I'll wait until tomorrow, all good things are worth waiting for."

Greer agreed with Lin Mu's statement, so he said: "Then I have to wrong you for one night."

Lin Mu waved his hand: "It's okay."

Greer pointed at the man on the right again: "Isn't it to your liking?"

The man calmly said, "I'm sorry Mr. Greer, because of my motion sickness, my stomach is really uncomfortable. Even if I eat delicious food, I will feel very uncomfortable."

Greer looked at the man with pity, and said, "Then you should take a good rest later."

Seeing that he was going to ask questions one by one, Qiu Di was the last one, so it would be difficult to think of a reason.

Lin Mu changed the subject: "Mr. Greer, where is our room?"

Greer seemed to be very patient with Lin Mu. He smiled and said, "Are you tired? Sure enough, girls need enough sleep."

Lin Mu smiled irrefutably, let Greer walk behind her, and opened the chair for her.

As soon as Lin Mu left his seat, everyone stood up and followed behind Lin Mu.

The corridors of the old house are not well lit and look dim. Qiudi took Lin Mu's hand and whispered into her ear, "Ah Mu, do you like roses?"

Lin Mu shook his head, said with a light smile, "No, I don't like roses, I like lilies."

Qiudi nodded earnestly, then moved closer to Lin Mu, and said, "Lily...I like you more."

Lin Mu paused, then lowered his eyes and laughed lowly.

Ah Di...I really don't know what to do with you.

Greer stopped at the penultimate room, and put the key in Lin Mu's hand. Lin Mu resisted not to pull his hand back, because the temperature of Greer's fingertips was terribly cold, which was obviously made of ice. chill.

This made Lin Mu clearly understand that this man with a gentlemanly smile is a dead man.

Greer warned: "Go to bed early, beautiful girls."

Lin Mu ignored the goosebumps on his arms and smiled, "Okay, Mr. Greer."

After speaking, he immediately opened the door and took Qiudi into the door, and closed the door in front of everyone.

The autumn flute turned on the light with a "snap", and this European-style luxurious room attracted the attention of the two of them.

The thick curtains blocked the large floor-to-ceiling windows, Lin Mu did not go to open them, but approached Qiudi, and whispered in her ear, "The scarecrow has moved."

That's right, the reason why she paused outside the door was because she saw the scarecrow move. Although it was indeed dark outside at that time, Lin Mu believed that she was right.

Qiudi didn't question her, but asked, "What has it become?"

Lin Mu swallowed, and the goosebumps on her arms popped out again, her voice was as if she was talking to herself: "...it laughed."

There was also surprise in Qiu Di's eyes, but she still patted Lin Mu on the back to comfort her.

Lin Mu suppressed the creepy feeling, took Qiudi's hand and walked to the thick curtain, she looked at Qiudi, and Qiudi was also looking at her.

A second later, Lin Mu opened the curtain a slit.

In fact, this seat in their room should be able to see the scarecrow, after all, their room is also close to the edge.

Looking through the slit, you can see the scarecrow's profile.

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, just now she had the worst imagining, that is the scarecrow looking at their room.

However, not long after she let go of her breath, the Scarecrow moved!

Lin Mu's eyes widened in disbelief, watching the scarecrow jump towards the room it faced. It didn't jump high, but the stick under its feet was firmly inserted into the ground every time.

Finally the scarecrow disappeared from their sight.

Lin Mu tightened the curtains and turned to look at Qiudi. She didn't know what to say, and finally swallowed, and said palely, "I told you, it will move."

Qiu Di exhaled, took a few steps back, and sat on the chair by the window, and Lin Mu also sat there.

After a while, Lin Mu said: "...Are you going to act?"

Qiudi looked at her and nodded after a while.

Lin Mu thinks that the order is definitely not that simple. It is very likely that it is the order in which people can go out every night, and people in the same room can also go out at the same night.

To put it another way, Lin Mu can go out on the first night, but if she doesn't want to use her life to test it, she can wait until Qiudi's day to go out with her.

But Lin Mu was never one to back down.

So she chose to go out and look for clues on the first day.
