sunk in yesterday

The sound of the door opening, the sound of screams, the sound of sharp knives.

An old voice shouted: "Lai Lai, Lai Lai, where are you going—"

Xia Zhuo looked at Guan Yuzhou beside him uncertainly, and there were two siblings beside him who were more nervous than him.

The four of them huddled in the room and listened quietly to the sound outside the door, hoarse and frightened screams echoed in the empty room.

A small hand pushed open the door, and Lailai stood in sight, the wound on his neck dripping black blood.

She said, 'I miss mom, do you know where my mom is? ]

The sound of metal clattering to the ground resounded in the main room. Xia Zhuo thought about it, but still didn't raise the flashlight to look.

A cold draft whizzed past, and the door was slammed shut.The light hit Lailai, her blotched face began to smoke, and the slight pain caused her to contort her face, and against the screaming behind the door, she asked them again, [Where is my mother?Can you take me to her? ]

Jian Ran was a little confused, didn't she say that the little girl had no resentment?

[Big brother. ]

She looked at Xia Zhuo, her eyes were dark, and she opened her mouth, revealing the same row of fangs as her brother.

Xia Zhuo didn't dare to respond, and silently shrank behind Guan Yuzhou.

[What I said before is actually all false. ] She giggled, her cheek peeling off in pieces, revealing the rotten flesh underneath.

That clearly shouldn't be what it should look like after only dying for seven days.

She smiled, walked into the room step by step, picked up the broken pen under the bed and held it in her hand, the originally immature child's voice changed, and after hearing it, it was ethereal and mature, [However, I really didn't kill my child. ]

The noise outside the house stopped, the door opened again with a creak, and the light of the flashlight was unobstructed, hitting the pool of blood in the hall.The wind blew in quietly, the drizzle gradually stopped, and the last drop fell on the back of the hand that was half upright in the soil in the yard.

[Get dream fragments*1. 】

[The return option is turned on.

Please turn on the light meter and enter the return guidance. 】

After clearing the dream, the two corpses on the window disappeared, and the flashlight belonging to the dream participant also disappeared. Something fell to the ground in the dark corner, making a slight sound.

After the dark clouds dissipated, the moon revealed a bright figure, and the moonlight shining through the broken window illuminated the two stacked watches.

Jian Ran was confused: "In the end, what the hell..." What does it mean?

But after thinking about it again, she felt that not only did she have one life left by crossing her legs all the way, but even this time the dream was quite nourishing, at least she didn't have to worry about living and eating.

However, Guan Yuzhou said in advance that she would not take anyone with her, otherwise she really wanted to have the cheek to let the other party take her and Jian Shu.

"Guan Yuzhou," Xia Zhuo stepped on the ground and asked him with his chin in his hand: "If no one guesses to disconnect the line in the end, will there be other results?"

Guan Yuzhou understated: "It's equivalent to being stuck on a node. This day will be an infinite loop or everyone will die after dawn."

Xia Zhuo was amused by his "just": "You're just a little serious... so now the dream has been fulfilled? You can wake up? After you wake up, you will—"

The sound of landing sounded from the window, interrupting the question Xia Zhuo wanted to ask.The four people who had just relaxed in the room looked up and saw a figure standing against the backlight.

To their surprise, this person was not an unseen participant who survived by hiding after falling into a dream, but a member of the trio who had a bad experience with each other—Lifa.

Xia Zhuo thought the three of them were cold, and looked a little more curiously, but Guan Yuzhou frowned.

After entering the room, Li Fa ignored the other four people in the room and bent down to pick up the two relics on the ground.The moment someone touched it, the light that had lost its owner lit up inside and out, and turned into specks of light and disappeared in his palm.

Xia Zhuo thought that he was here to collect the corpse for his friend, but before he could germinate his emotions, Jian Ran beside him suddenly uttered a dirty word in a low voice: "I rely on..."

The pair of sneakers that Li Fa had given to the female star had returned to her feet, but they were no longer the black and white tones at the beginning, and showed different shades of red after being soaked in blood.He tapped the air above his wrist, saw something, and scolded the poor ghost a little irritably.

Xia Zhuo was confused and felt that this person seemed to have changed his personality.He sat on the bed and watched the other person approach step by step, the light gradually illuminated this person clearly, and thus he could clearly see the long and narrow eyes full of hostility under the young man's raised bangs.

When I met Li Fa the last few times, he didn't show any expression, but now he grinned wantonly: "The guy named Wua said you were a bunch of idiots at night, but I laughed to death. I think he's the one." Stupid."

Seeing the four people looking at him with different expressions, Li Fa also looked back, and finally his eyes stopped on Guan Yuzhou.He folded his arms and smiled showing his fangs, feeling quite regretful: "That idiot claimed to be a veteran, I thought he was a big fish, but it turned out to be fooling people, I would have picked you if I knew it .”

Guan Yuzhou asked coldly, "Chameleon?"

"Hahaha..." Li Fa laughed even louder when he heard this word, and he casually brushed a strand of hair that had been shaken back behind his ear, "Will someone really call themselves that?"

On the first night, he saw a little ghost enter the house without warning. He saw someone holding a black pot and specially notified the low-intelligence person to grab it. He got half of the pancakes that he could only see and couldn't eat. He pretended to be polite and let the idiot show move.

God knows how many times he couldn't help but almost burst out laughing while watching the man and woman stepping into the trap at his pace.

Li Fa didn't feel embarrassed when no one answered. He glanced at the two siblings who shrank back and didn't dare to make a sound, and waved his hands in disgust: "Why are you hiding so far away? Participating people like you who are not enough to fit your teeth." The latter is not in my category at all. But if I show that pitiful little expression again, I'm afraid I will change my mind the next time we meet."

This was the first time Xia Zhuo saw Jian Shu showing such a frightened expression.Even if he saw little ghosts and dead bodies in the past two days, he had never been so afraid. It seemed that the young man in front of him was a kind of creature more terrifying than ghosts and dead people.

"Hey, hello~" Li Fa didn't tease the two weak-looking children much, and raised his head to approach Guan Yuzhou: "I saw you when I saw you in front of the village, you are the most powerful one here, right? Are you the leader of these three? I thought you would agree to act with that bitch, but I was really disappointed once... What's your name? Tell me? I'll go find you? Come in together next time Right? Why don't you speak?"

Guan Yuzhou said lightly: "You don't have a place to talk here, go out."

"Huh?" Li Fa didn't seem to expect that he was quite strong when he spoke, narrowing his long and narrow eyes, and then carefully looked at the stern-faced participant in front of him: "Let me think about it, is there any information about you in the intelligence materials?" What about the matter?"

Guan Yuzhou was expressionless, but Xia Zhuo stretched out his hand and pulled him back, "Hey, if you look at it again, your eyeballs will stick."

Guan Yuzhou took advantage of the situation and sat beside him, "I didn't watch it."

"Yeah, you look good too." Li Fa suddenly licked his lips, and moved his gaze from Guan Yuzhou to Xia Zhuo's face: "Is it his companion? Are you familiar with it? What's your name? Next time the three of us will be together Bar?"

Guan Yuzhou's expression changed.

He raised his foot and kicked the intruder's lower abdomen, and his voice sank instantly, "Get lost."

There was an extra footprint on Li Fa's body, and he immediately took a step back.He glanced at Guan Yuzhou, and the greed and anger in his eyes fused together, as if a cluster of spiked flames had ignited.

Guan Yuzhou didn't pay attention to his reaction at all, and repeated the word again: "Either die here, or get out."

Xia Zhuo was a little taken aback.It was the first time he heard Guan Yuzhou speak in such a tone, even if the target wasn't himself, he still had goose bumps all over his body.The chestnut in Yu Guangli moved, stepped back a few steps and went out of the room through the window, the sound of footsteps stepping on the water gradually faded away.

Xia Zhuo turned his head again, and Guan Yuzhou beside him had returned to his usual gentleness. The gloomy and fierce feeling was fleeting, like a hallucination that appeared in a short period of time.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know what he was nervous about just now. "Hmph, you are quite good at flirting."

Flirty?Guan Yuzhou felt a little funny, but his voice softened involuntarily: "Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Why are you angry? How can I be angry. I just feel that the world is getting worse. Do people like you now?" Xia Zhuo held his chin, his tone not very happy.He let go of the hoof that was still holding Guan Yuzhou's back cloth, turned his face away from the face that was indeed attractive, and asked, "What is a chameleon? Isn't it an animal?"

Jian Ran looked at the direction where the chestnut hair disappeared, her chubby face was still a little pale: "It's... the general term for a group of people who are dreamers."

"The chameleon is a kind of animal that is good at camouflage. Many people use this word to refer to those participants in the dream who rely on camouflage to frame other people." Guan Yuzhou explained: "There are two ways to obtain points, one is regular acquisition As mentioned in the route, there is also an unconventional route. After the participant dies, the optical meter used for points in the hand will fall off, and it can be picked up for a period of time. After picking it up, you can get a small half of it. Points. However, not everyone can pick it up. To activate this method, you must open an unconventional way to obtain points.”

Xia Zhuo nodded to express his understanding: "I have seen it before, but the introduction of unconventional routes is locked."

"Well, it's locked because you didn't trigger the conditions." Guan Yuzhou looked a little serious: "Participants can't get points by killing participants, but they can open unconventional acquisition channels."

Xia Zhuo instantly understood: "So that guy killed someone just now?"

"Well." Guan Yuzhou said: "This kind of chameleon is a group of experienced players with high acting skills. They usually pretend to be novices, lower the vigilance of the experienced players, and then try to attract ghosts to kill the target, and then take the points for themselves. .”

Xia Zhuo paused: "I want to confirm again, will people who die here also die in reality?"

Guan Yuzhou hummed again and gave an affirmative answer.

"So, so..." Jian Ran knelt by the side: "My brother and I have met before. If we encounter ghosts, there are still ways to escape, but once we meet such people... we basically have no way out. gone."

Guan Yuzhou looked at Xia Zhuo: "They are insidious and cunning, and know how to use people's hearts." He paused slightly, and added, "But you don't have to worry."

Xia Zhuo smiled.He looked back at the siblings who were huddled together, "Why don't you go out?"

Jian Ran didn't come back to her senses for a while: "Ah? Come out, aren't you waiting for you to be together?"

Xia Zhuo said ambiguously: "The adults want to whisper something to the adults, but the children quickly avoid it."

Jane: "..."

She was a bit reluctant: "I don't know if we will meet again in the future. You have taken care of us a lot along the way. If... Brother Guan, you hadn't stopped me from opening the pot, I might be dead now..."

Guan Yuzhou shook his head: "You chose it yourself."

Jian Ran was still a little embarrassed: "In short, thank you. Although my brother and I didn't come in many times, this is the first time someone helped us, not only to stop us from doing dangerous things, but also in front of others... ...protect us..."

Seeing that the little girl was trembling, Xia Zhuo hurriedly chased her away: "Go home, take a shower and sleep, eat more, don't starve your chubby face."

Jian Ran burst into tears and forced him back with these words: "Brother Xia, I really can't lose weight."

Xia Zhuo smiled and waved his hands: "Isn't this all about fate, we will meet again if we have fate."

"……Will do."

After getting out of bed, the siblings looked at each other, bowed in unison, and then miraculously disappeared in place after pointing to the air a few times, leaving only two light or shallow breaths in the room.

Guan Yuzhou propped his hands on the bed, and before he could speak, Xia Zhuo retched.

Guan Yuzhou: "..."

Xia Zhuo waved his hands modestly: "I held you for a long time when I pulled you just now, and finally drove them away, I want to vomit."

Guan Yuzhou was helpless: "...you spit it out."

Xia Zhuo obediently vomited.

He took two sips of the water handed by Guan Yuzhou, then slumped on the bed and asked, "If I come in next time, will I still meet you?"

Guan Yuzhou couldn't hear the tone: "Do you still want to be with me?"

Xia Zhuo was lying on his side, bending his eyes and shining a flashlight on his face: "What kind of question are you asking, do you want to be with you or to form a team with you?"

Guan Yuzhou closed his eyes subconsciously, but did not avoid the strong light: "How do you want to understand?"

Xia Zhuo was happy in his heart, and on the surface he deliberately pretended to be dumbfounded: "Huh? How would I know if you don't tell me."

"..."

Xia Zhuo propped his elbows and moved towards him, "Hey, why don't you say anything?"

Guan Yuzhou said lightly: "...I don't know what to say."

... Hey, stuffy jar.Obviously he didn't bring up the topic, but this person backed away halfway.

Xia Zhuo sighed: "Actually, I don't really want to go back to reality. Who knows what it will be like when I go back? I think people who lost their memory probably didn't encounter any good things, so they deliberately chose to forget. When I go back, my life will be worse than here.”

Guan Yuzhou was silent for a moment: "Did you choose to forget on purpose?"

"Maybe, whatever."

The two sat half a meter apart. After Xia Zhuo threw out the perfunctory words, Guan Yuzhou didn't take the initiative to talk about anything, as if he had entered an intermission.

Xia Zhuo lay on the ground for a few minutes, then jumped up again, calling him, "Hey, Guan Yuzhou."

"Ok?"

"You haven't answered yet, can I meet you next time?"

The light shone into the eyes of the young man, and it seemed that a few shining little stars had been added in his eyes, and the faint expectation contained in them could be tasted at a glance.

Maybe he himself didn't realize how much he was looking forward to the next encounter with Guan Yuzhou.

Guan Yuzhou raised his hand, fiddled with the broken hair on the top of his head lightly with his fingertips, and replied, "Yes."

"Really? Then I went out?" Even if Guan Yuzhou was trying to explain himself, Xia Zhuo had no choice.He knew this very well, and pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Do you want to leave me a contact information? Let's go out and develop it in depth?"

Guan Yuzhou: "...deep development?"

Xia Zhuo laughed and continued to move her lips: "Yes, further development... how about it?"

"..." Guan Yuzhou thought for a while, and still reported a series of numbers.He suppressed his disappointment: "You should have a good sleep first."

"Oh, I'll take it as your promise!"

Guan Yuzhou sat aside, watched Xia Zhuo fiddle with the watch, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

This question is a bit out of the way, Xia Zhuo feels a little inexplicable.He stopped the movement of his hand and made a single sound: "Huh?"

Guan Yuzhou finished the sentence: "Didn't you say that you don't know what it will be like after you go back? What do you think?"

Xia Zhuo bared her teeth and smiled: "Naturally, one step at a time is counted, just like here. I didn't understand anything when I first came in, didn't I survive successfully?"

Guan Yuzhou seemed to relax because of his words, "Go."

Xia Zhuo looked at him a few more times, and finally pressed the escape button in front of him.

Seeing him disappear before his eyes, Guan Yuzhou subconsciously raised his hand to grab something, but still only touched a puddle of air.

The flashlight fell on the side alone, and he sat where Xia Zhuo had sat, staring at the moonlight falling from the sky for a while, and finally paced to the window, touching the marks on his ring finger and bending his eyes slightly.

"Hey, are we done talking?" The abrupt male voice sounded from the window, causing chaotic cracks in the mirror-like lake, "You're still waiting, are you waiting for me?"

A blood-stained hand grabbed the back of his hand on the frame from the outside to the inside. Guan Yuzhou took a step back, but the other party tightened his palms and held his wrist firmly. , a moist touch and a faint fishy smell rushed over.

"I remember now." Chestnut hair blocked most of the moonlight, staring at Guan Yuzhou with a bad expression in front of him, and excitedly said after a while: "Sure enough, you have a scar hidden under your eyebrows... Met you, maybe I should call you... Prowler?"
