After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Suddenly the cafeteria became quiet, and the young mother's already ugly expression became more and more nervous.

Rui Rui stuffed a big apple into her mother's hand: "Mom, don't be afraid, you still have me, and you are not alone."

The young mother finally smiled in relief, picked up the apple and bit it: "It's so sweet."

Old Yu glanced at the black funeral gowns on her mother and daughter: "You can take the liberty to ask, are you going to the funeral before entering the nightmare world?"

He was a little concerned, why Ruirui is an experienced dream tourist, but her mother is a newcomer. It stands to reason that the two people should be in the same time when they entered the book. But why are they wearing the same style of funeral dress?

The young mother's expression was in a daze, and she muttered to herself: "Yes... the funeral... whose funeral is coming... whose..."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became more subtle, and they all looked at the tranced young mother in unison.

"Mom, it's okay," Rui Rui rubbed her mother with her little cheek. "We will be able to bring Dad home soon."

At this moment, the fog in the eyes of the young mother disappeared, replaced by sadness and loneliness: "...My husband has passed away, and Rui Rui and I came here to change her father to live, and the three of them went home safely."

"Sorry..." Lao Yu was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, "Sorry, my wish will come true."

Rui Rui is much stronger than her mother, explaining: "My mother has been in a trance because of the death of her father, but I will protect her."

"Then if there is anything you need help, talk to your brothers and sisters." Wu Ying said warmly, like little girls.

Rui Rui nodded optimistically: "Okay, thank you sister."

Chi Nan lowered his eyes and didn't speak. The little girl's explanation didn't explain why they entered the copies one after another, but they all wore funeral gowns in the same way.

But the story turned over, and no one mentioned it again. After all, it was the closest person to the mother and daughter who passed away.

After eating, they went back to their rooms, and Bai Chuan was always worried about the empty box.

Gu Xiao looked at him worriedly: "Are you okay? What's the matter?"

Bai Chuan said hesitantly, "I... always feel that something is wrong."

Gu Xiao himself felt frustrated, but the more afraid people are, the more willing they are to behave indifferently, so as to convince themselves not to be afraid: "Don't think about it. Tomorrow we will ask the female foreman about the empty box."

"But why is it just an empty box? What did the female foreman say when handing me the box...Candleman's Day cannot be held without me, what do you mean? And the candlemen in the exhibition hall... I wouldn't want us to go. Funeral?"

It was okay if I didn't say anything. With this opening, the White Ship thought about the horrible place, and the more he thought about it, the more disturbed it became.

Gu Xiao used impatience to cover up his fears: "Don't talk nonsense, pay attention to your sober value, too high a sober value is more terrifying than funeral."

Bai Chuan nodded, but after a while, he looked at Gu Xiao with complaining eyes: "You have more experience than me, why didn't you remind me more at the time?"

"Huh? Remind what?"

"The gun shot the bird, aren't we just the bird, are those old dreamers deliberately fooling around when they make candles, and we have to try the rules?"

As a newcomer, White Boat's sober value has risen to 84, and his tone has become irritable and unfriendly.

Gu Xiao glanced at his roommate who lost his temper, wondering who the **** was rushing to do it at the time? Who is so passionate, even rushing to finish my part? Who is eager to get the reward and can't help it? Do you start blaming others when something is wrong?

But in the end he resisted the scolding, and said as calmly as possible: "Fuck me, blame me, but it's useless to blame me. We are grasshoppers on a rope. Let's spend tonight safely."

Bai Chuan suddenly raised his head nervously: "Should we go back to the production workshop? Did the contents of the box fall there?"

Gu Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart, and tried his best to persuade him patiently: "Just listen to my persuasion, and wait until dawn before asking. In a nightmare world, night often represents death."

With Gu Xiao's strong persuasion, Bai Chuan finally gave up all kinds of dangerous ideas for the time being.

After the two entered the house, they checked the corners of the house and locked the door and windows again, and even the connecting air vents were not dropped.

After a lot of work, Gu Xiao said: "There should be no problem, let's go to bed first, sleep will also affect the wakefulness value."

Bai Chuan had no other choice, so he nodded: "I always sleep very heavy. I will try my best to be alert tonight."

But it turns out that he overestimated his ability to adapt. The White Boat, who has always had a good sleep, couldn't fall asleep this night.

The body is very sleepy, but the nerves seem to be suspended by an invisible thin thread. It collapses so tightly that it is about to fall asleep and is pulled back. The consciousness has been hovering on the edge of lucidity and dreams and it is difficult to fall asleep.

Half-dreaming and half-awake, he seemed to hear the rustling speech, very soft, very soft, the sound seemed to spread from the bottom of the bed along the wooden board, skipping the ears and directly from the flesh and bone marrow into his brain.

Noisy, noisier than any lively occasion he has ever been to.

Bai Chuan felt hairy in his heart by the indescribable sound. He simply gave up sleeping and planned to get up and sleep with the light on, but the moment he opened his eyes, he was suddenly shaken by a strong beam of light, causing pain in his eyes, and Bai Chuan struggled. It took a few times before he opened his eyes smoothly.

He covered his eyes with his hands and settled, and found that the candle light shining from outside the window was dangling on his face just now.

I don't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that the brightness of the light was much stronger than when he was asleep.

"Can't you sleep either?" Gu Xiao, who was facing the bed, rolled over and looked over with open eyes.

The white boat has already adapted to the light a little now, and nodded: "There is always talking, it's too noisy."

Hearing this, Gu Xiao, who had already convinced himself not to be afraid, shivered, and floated up with white hair and sweat: "Speaking? I... didn't hear... Isn't this room quiet... where is the sound of speech." "

He couldn't help but think of Rui Rui also said in the morning, there was a strange voice under the bed in the room...

Gu Xiao unconsciously glanced at the bottom of the bed hidden in the shadow, then quickly moved his eyes away, his voice trembled and said, "Did you sleepy...heard it wrong?"

He really wanted to hear an affirmative answer from White Boat.

However, Bai Shiping shook his head, his face was pale and his eyes turned blue: "I don't know, that voice seems to come from my head."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Xiao was scared and confused.

Bai Chuan's eyes were dull for a moment: "That's...it's different from ordinary noise...usually the sound is pouring into our ears...but just now I always heard...the sound seems to come out of my body...noisy and uncomfortable..."

The more Gu Xiao listened, the worse he became, and he couldn't help but shiver: "Don't be scary."

Bai Chuan's lips moved, but he didn't say a word. He just sat on the bed next to the wall, looked up at the window above the slope, and said for a while: "Gu Xiao, do you think the light outside the window tonight is special? Bright?"

Gu Xiao followed his gaze and glanced at the window: "It's true that you said that, but it seems that your side is much brighter than mine."

"Well, probably this light interfered with my sleep."

Gu Xiao's expression changed slightly: "Wait, the abnormality in the copy may be an important clue. Come and see what's going on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chuan immediately stood on the bed and looked out on tiptoes, his face paled: "I...outside my window...lighted a candle..."

The candlelight flickered, reflecting on his face through the extremely polished glass, illuminating the fear on his face.

After all, I saw a lighted candle outside my window in the middle of the night. The light of the flame followed the grave. No one would feel comfortable...

Although Gu Xiao was afraid that his palms were all sweaty, he thought that he was also a dream tourist who had been a copycat, so he gritted his teeth and came to find out.

When he saw the lit candle on the window sill, his breathing was stagnant. It was a **** human-shaped candle! The wax is also very strange, the reddish silk in the yellow is like being mixed with human blood...

"This is not right! It is definitely not right!" Gu Xiao's voice trembled, and he looked at the white boat nervously, "Did you do something? It triggered the death mechanism or some other dangerous situation!"

Bai Chuan's nerves also stretched to the limit: "I haven't! I've been with everyone! Nothing special..."

Having said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes widened: "Excellent volunteer award and...the empty box given by the female foreman..."

The two looked at each other panic in the beating flames, breathing heavily.

As a somewhat experienced Gu Xiao, he took a deep breath and convinced himself that he could calm down: "Don't panic first, I'll go and find them."

"I'll be with you!" Bai Chuan immediately followed, he didn't want to be alone in the gloomy candlelight.

But something more terrible happened. When the two jumped out of bed and wanted to walk to the door, they found that the door disappeared...

The original location of the door became a wall, airtight, enclosing the entire dormitory into a confined space.

They raised their heads subconsciously and found that even the windows had disappeared. The weird human-shaped candle looked like a foot, and it was inserted on the pillow of the white boat at this moment!

"This... how could this be..." Bai Chuan couldn't help taking a step back, his feet not bent so much that he hit the edge of Gu Xiao's bed, and he reflexively fell onto the bed, facing the weird candlelight.

Gu Xiao's voice was stuck in his throat, and there were dense goose bumps on his body. It took a moment for him to hoarse and say: "We two...may have been selected to be the first...candlers..."

Candlemen... Candlemen... So they have to be like those candlemen in the exhibition hall... Are they placed in weird cemetery-style houses for the next group of volunteers to visit? !

"The box... I'll look at the box...!" The survival instinct made the white boat jump out of the bed. He went crazy and found the empty paper box originally put in the bag. He shook his hand and opened the lid of the box, then he looked Once stiff, a small note appeared in the originally empty box.

The note read: "You are the best volunteer on the first night. We will present the gift that best represents Candleman Town to express our gratitude. I believe you have received the gift when you read this note. I sincerely hope that you, And your roommate can spend a bright and beautiful night."

On a bright and beautiful night, the two men looked at the twinkling candles on the side of the bed and stood upside down.

Can’t just sit and wait...do something...do something...

"Water! Bring the kettle over!" Gu Xiao screamed, not that he didn't want to move, but that his legs were so frightened that he couldn't even move to the table to get the kettle.

Although Bai Chuan is a pure newcomer, he may be too scared at this moment, but he is a bit brave to return to the light. He quickly picked up the kettle, and it happened that there was more than half of the kettle in the kettle.

Fire is most afraid of water. If this weird person is extinguished, maybe...!

Bai Chuan quickly lifted the lid of the pot and poured cold water down towards the candle. Just when the two of them wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the candle fire that seemed to be extinguished was re-burned, and the flames bounced and even burned. The booming trend...

The two of them were really scared to death. The candle that could not be extinguished by water was beyond their common sense and cognition...

Bai Chuan swallowed hard: "How could it be...how could it be..."

Gu Xiao, whose nerves were already stretched to the limit, heard a strange noise coming from behind the white boat. He turned his head, his eyes widened under the beating candlelight, but his throat seemed to be strangled by something and couldn't make a sound—

At this moment, the shadow of the white ship projected on the wall was approaching them one point and one point, as if its existence had separated from the white ship itself and became an independent entity.

"What, what?!" Bai Chuan watched Gu Xiao staring behind him, his face pale and blue, with a bad premonition.

But because he was too scared, he didn't dare to look back at this moment but confirmed...

"Shadow, shadow..." Gu Xiao almost exhausted all his mental energy before uttering these three words. At that time, the shadow was getting closer and bigger, spreading like a pool of black stagnant water on the floor...

"Gu Xiao! Behind you...!"

Bai Chong also saw exactly the same sight behind Gu Xiao!

But at the moment he yelled, two shadows quickly covered up, wrapping the two young men who had been frightened with weak legs in the darkness, using them to finally recover their free bodies, eroding and engulfing their master a little bit. Body...

Spreading from fingertips, heels, and limbs to the torso, the two boys couldn't move at all. They watched each other's bodies become a little bit of translucent waxy, and the wax mixed with red blood flowed over the heart, shocking them in terror. The expression is frozen forever.

In less than three seconds, the room was completely quiet, the disappearing door reappeared on the wall, and the obliquely above window appeared again end-to-end. Behind the bright glass was a cluster of beating candle flames, flashing. A flash, burning alone in the silent night.

The next day everyone gathered in the cafeteria for breakfast, and didn't wait for Bai Chuan and Gu Xiao until almost half past eight.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the two young children overslept?" The young mother glanced at the door of the empty cafeteria and said, "Would you like to call them? The female foreman will be called at nine o'clock, and said Can't be late."

Seeing the time passing by, the two of them have not appeared, and the faces of several old dream visitors have sunk long ago.

"Well, go to their house and have a look." Old Yu drank the porridge out of the bowl and put down the bowl and said.

At 8:30, the group returned from the cafeteria to the dormitory building and came to Room 107 where Gu Xiao and Bai Chuan lived.

The door of Room 107 was hidden, and there was a dead silence from the cracked door.

Lao Yuxian knocked gently on the door: "Gu Xiao, Bai Chuan, are you in there?"

No one responded as expected.

Old Yu knocked again: "If no one answers, we will come in."

As soon as the voice fell, he opened the door unceremoniously.

When all the old dreamers saw the situation inside the house, they couldn't help but screamed.

There is neither a living person nor the **** and terrifying corpse scene in the room. Everything is presented daily. The folds on the sheets are obviously traces of someone having slept. The mobile phone is also placed on the bed with a charger. The kettle seemed to be accidentally kicked over and rolled to the ground.

But the people in the room disappeared for no reason. The clothes hanging on the drying rack were not taken away, and the suitcases were not taken away, as if they had evaporated from the room out of thin air.

This is more creepy than seeing **** corpses.

The newcomer’s mother naively asked, “Did these two children go where they forgot to tell us?”

"I'm not familiar with Bai Chuan, but Gu Xiao is definitely not such an unscrupulous person." Xia Wei said with a tight eyebrow.

"What's the matter then?"

"This is too weird..."

Since entering the house, Chi Nan smelled a "burning" smell. It was not exactly the smell of things being burnt, it was like burning a fire in the house, leaving behind the heat and unique smell of burning things.

"Did you smell it?" he asked, "There is a strange smell in the room."

Everyone shook their heads when they heard the words, only Ye Chang nodded: "It's like the smell left after a candle burns."

"You can smell this!?" Xia Wei looked at Ye Chang in surprise.

Ye Chang pushed his glasses and said, "My eyes are not good, and my relative sense of smell and hearing is sharper."

Chi Nan glanced at him subconsciously and said quietly, "Me too."

Everyone looked around the room again and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that Gu Xiao and Bai Chuan had not been hidden in the cabinet or under the bed.

The corpse was not found, indicating that there is still a ray of hope alive, although this hope is negligible in the nightmare world.

"There is nothing unusual in the room, but the two children have disappeared." Lao Yu bit the cigarette irritably and shook his head.

Chi Nan's gaze swept from Bai Chuan's backpack to the table and then to the bed: "Did you see that carton just now? The one that the female foreman rewarded him."

Old Yu looked at him: "I didn't see it."

Then he looked at everyone present, everyone shook their heads, and finally moved their eyes to the white ship's half-open backpack.

Xia Wei: "At this time, everyone shouldn't care about privacy or privacy. If you want to find clues, you can find clues. I don't think Bai Chuan and Gu Xiao will blame us."

He bit his lip. "If they are still alive..."

With that said, he took the lead in opening the white ship’s bag and shook all the contents of the bag off the bed. The rest of the people also went to look through the personal belongings in the house, but after looking around, they still couldn’t find the trace of the small white paper box. .

"It seems that the paper box disappeared out of thin air with them."

The young mother's face turned pale in an instant, and she subconsciously hugged Rui Rui: "Then now...what shall we do?"

"Let's go," Lao Yu glanced at his watch. "It's already 8:55. Go to the production workshop first."

When the crowd rushed to the workshop, the female foreman who taught them to make candles yesterday had already prepared wax blocks, mirrors, carving knives and other objects waiting for them.

Today she seems to be in a particularly good mood, with a strange light shining in her gloomy eyes: "Good morning."

Everyone: "..." Good girl.

"You don’t look very good. Didn’t you rest last night?" The female foreman glanced across everyone and went back and forth several times. Contributed."

As soon as Lao Yu heard this, he smelled an unusual smell of clues: "What do you mean?"

The female foreman smiled stiffly: "Thank you for your meaning."

Everyone: "..."

Chi Nan: "The two volunteers in Room 107 disappeared this morning. Do you know where they went?"

The female foreman shrugged: “In our town of Candleman, there are always volunteers missing for no reason, but don’t worry, they must be very happy and safe now where we can’t see them.”

Everyone scolded their mother, what the **** is this sensational bullshit? !

Ye Chang: "Does their disappearance have anything to do with the contribution you just mentioned?"

The female foreman rolled her eyes, and finally looked back stiffly like a puppet: "Sorry, I don't have a good memory. I often forget what I said two minutes ago."

"..." This rough pretending to be a fool must be the dream maker cutting corners, right?

The female worker glanced at them again, and the corners of her lips raised a stiff smile: "It's been a lot of time. Let's start today's work. Let's start with the same content as yesterday. Use your own face as a prototype to make candle men. The more similar we are. The higher the score given, the final judgment is still based on the group."

"The reward is the same as yesterday. The dormitory group where the outstanding volunteers are located will receive a special gift."

Yesterday everyone was excited and looking forward to these words, but today's words made them anxious. Obviously, the disappearance of 107 two boys is definitely related to "excellent volunteers."

"What should we do now? Do we want to..." The young mother glanced at the mirror in front of her. She used to like to look in the mirror the most, but today she was terrified when she saw her face in the mirror.

Everyone looks at me with subtle expressions, and I look at you. If you don’t do it, you will be punished for passive sabotage. I still don’t know what the specific punishment is. Maybe it’s more dangerous than missing...

But if they bite the bullet and do it, they have already seen the fate of Bai Chuan and Gu Xiao...

Lao Yu frowned, revealing the entanglement he had never had before, "What are we going to do... to avoid the next "outstanding volunteer"? "

Everyone was nervous and silent.

Suddenly Chi Nan asked seriously like a good student: "If we strike collectively, what is the punishment? How can "outstanding volunteers" be judged? "

Rather than guessing at the margin, it is better to ask the NPC who issued the rules as clearly as possible, whether she will answer is another matter.

The female foreman seemed to have never encountered such a direct volunteer before, and only reacted after a moment of downtime: "Then, we will randomly select a lucky person to become an "excellent volunteer", and the rest will be punished collectively. "

Everyone: "..." It's over, this is the meaning of giving people heads collectively.

The female foreman continued to say ambiguous and creepy words: "We in Candleman Town have always been hospitable and will not let volunteers spend long nights in disappointment and darkness."

"Then what to do now, the way of collective strikes will not work anymore."

"It's not a **** thing to do, nor is it not to do it, there is no solution..."

"I don't know how the two boys are now..."

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, the anxiety and fear of the people are also multiplying and superimposing. The female foreman is smiling and admiring the fear of the people, seeming to be very happy in it.

At this time, no one dared to stand up and say something, after all, even if you don’t consider your own life or death, you have to consider your roommate. This time the death is based on the dormitory...

When Chi Nan heard the rules given by the female foreman, the first thing he thought of was that Ye Chang was forced to increase his death rate by 90% by the system.

If it is really random, Ye Chang will definitely become the first person to sacrifice, almost certainly dead.

But if it is a dormitory unit, what should I do to avoid risks for Ye Jun?

While Chi Nan was thinking, Ye Chang looked at him silently, his eyes hidden behind the lens were full of expectation, as if waiting for some upcoming surprise.

Finally, after thinking clearly, Chi Nan said to everyone: "I'll get "outstanding volunteers." "

Hearing this, everyone was surprised to see it, except for Ye Chang and Lao Yu, who had become accustomed to Chi Nan's behavior.

The young mother couldn't help but say in surprise: "But... then you two will..."

She turned her head to look at Ye Chang, Chi Nan's roommate.

Ye Chang smiled gently as before: "I'm fine."

Chi Nan looked at him and said, "No, you live at 107 at night. Anyway, there is no one in 107 now."

Ye Chang raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

Wu Ying questioned: "However, it is not possible to change roommates according to the rules. You are breaking the rules like this..."

Chi Nan's head tilted: "I'm still staying in the original dormitory, and I haven't formed a new roommate. I just live separated from Ye Chang temporarily. How can it be considered a violation of the rules to change roommates?"

Although the female foreman emphasized several times that he scored by group, there was actually only one box, and the dormitory where he got the box would be unpredictable.

Therefore, the death rule is most likely to be carried out in the dormitory unit. If it is in the person as the unit, it should be given to a box separately, and the material does not seem to be expensive.

According to this logic, if two people live separately, one of them stays in the original dormitory with a box, and the other leaves to another empty dormitory, maybe the risk can be avoided.

Although it is not 100% certain, it is definitely higher than the probability of keeping Ye Chang alive under random circumstances.

Lao Yu was the first to react: "Yes, this can only be regarded as a roommate leaving the dormitory temporarily, not a change of roommate."

When everyone felt that there was some truth, Ye Chang suddenly joked unhurriedly, "Do you want to separate temporarily? I don't agree."

Chi Nan: "...?"

Xia Wei hissed on the side, the two of them were definitely not right...

"Don't you want to play together? Like in the "special room" on the evening number. "

Chi Nan had never seen anyone before, and would invite the other person so tenderly and seriously, and let the other person take him to death.

Chi Nan looked at him fixedly, but it seemed that he couldn't see his expression clearly: "Have you forgotten that you are an African? Don't play."

Ye Chang smiled and picked up the carving knife, and continued with the unfinished template yesterday: "In the exhibition hall yesterday, I promised you that I would have a chance to give you a candle puppet?"

Chi Nan suddenly became a little irritable, even he didn't notice it, and his brows frowned unconsciously: "So, are you going to do it for me now?"

"Well, I think," Ye Chang pushed his glasses and said calmly, "In fact, with you, no matter what the rules of death, I seem to be able to find a way to deal with it."

Chi Nan: "Huh?"

Ye Chang: "As long as you... can trust me." He swallowed the phrase "a little tear".

Chi Nan confirmed again: "Have you really thought of a way?"

Ye Chang shrugged: "It's not 100% sure, but it's worth a try. Maybe you can find a key clue. I don't want to miss this opportunity, and we must work together."

He looked through the lens and sent an invitation to Chi Nan: "Brother Nan, let me be together, I really don't want to separate."

Chi Nan: "..." He was a little shaken.

"Even temporarily, I don't want to." Ye Chang said confidently.
