After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Shadow's gaze is full of playful anticipation.

Chi Nan was also in line with his expectations. The moment he saw the mask flashed in his eyes at a loss, but the shadow hadn't enjoyed it enough, Chi Nan's emotional fluctuations quickly subsided, and he quickly recovered his calm: "I remember it."

He said calmly, and walked towards the shadow step by step.

For his calmness and actions, Shadow was a little surprised and became impatient: "Don't you have anything you want to ask?"

Chi Nan stopped in front of him: "Why are you telling me for him?"

Shadow bends the corners of his lips like Ye Chang's: "It's not'for him', it's me who is good at advocating and cutting his back."

Chi Nan said quietly, "Why did Ye Chang do this?"

Shadow smiled and shrugged: "This...I think you can ask him personally."

Chi Nan: "Oh, then I really have nothing to ask."

The shadow seemed disappointed: "Are you sure?"

Chi Nan and Ying looked at each other for half a second, and then said, "Can I touch your face?"

The shadow raised an eyebrow unexpectedly: "Why?"

"I'm a little curious, if I touch the shadow, I will shed tears."

Shadow smiled: "Of course you can."

With that said, the shadow was very cooperative and took the ghost face off his face, revealing the face belonging to'Ye Chang', Chi Nan also stretched out his hand.

But just before his fingertips touched the skin of the shadow, he quickly turned around, quickly picked up the teacup on the table and poured the candle on the corner of the table!

Before the shadow had time to express his astonishment on his face, the flames fluttered and went out.

The room returned to complete darkness, and the shadow was swallowed by the darkness.

Chi Nan stood still in the dark for a while, then touched Hei and walked towards Ye Chang's bed, but just halfway through, his throat suddenly tightened, and a pair of arms tightened his neck and dragged him back. Chi Nan struggled a few times to no avail. The opponent's strength and body shape took the absolute advantage. He thumped as if the opponent was holding a little chicken.

"Do you really think you can deal with me if you extinguish the candle? Huh?"

It was Ye Chang’s voice, but Chi Nan did not shed tears because of his touch, and rang the alarm in his heart. Ye Chang’s shadow has evolved to be able to move freely without a light source. This is for them. A big threat.

"Ahem, ahem..."

Chi Nan was strangled and unable to speak. Shadow pressed his lips to his ears and said in a flirting tone: "I want your body."

"Ahem..."

As the oxygen was drained a little bit, Chi Nan's eyes burst into tears, and his consciousness gradually fell into the abyss of mist, until a similar voice rang in his ears—

"Brother Nan, wake up."

Chi Nan's eyelids kept beating, and his breathing became sharp and light. This time he really opened his eyes.

At this moment, Ye Chang was sitting next to his bed, looking at him from top to bottom: "You have a nightmare."

Chi Nan's cheeks were reddening from excessive breathing, and even the teary mole on the end of his eyes became vivid and fragile. His eyelashes trembled a few times, like a fine porcelain doll on the verge of fragmentation.

He moved his lips subconsciously, but his throat was choked in his dream and couldn't speak. Ye Fang rushed to pour him a glass of cold water.

Chi Nan also took advantage of this moment to rub the tears on his face against the pillow towel.

"What did you dream about? Just looked at me with that look." Ye Chang handed the water glass over, and said in a tone that couldn't tell whether it was serious or joking.

"Thank you," Chi Nan took a sip of water. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his eyes to look at Ye Chang, "What look?"

Ye Chang frowned imperceptibly, keenly aware of the strangeness: "Just like this, there is hostility and defense."

Chi Nan didn't answer the call immediately, Gulugulu drank all the water in the cup, and Ye Chang didn't urge him.

After a while, Chi Nan said: "I dreamed of your shadow just now, and he attacked me."

"What?" Ye Chang changed his old tone of voice, a little anxious.

Chi Nan looked at him for an instant, holding his neck with his hand: "Just like this, pinch me, he said..."

His throat slipped. "He said...to kill me."

Chi Nan lied.

Ye Chang's face was pale and his eyes dropped: "I'm sorry."

"Why apologize? That is the shadow of alienation, not you." Chi Nan said.

Ye Chang suddenly smiled helplessly: "I don't know what to say when this happens, so... I'm sorry."

Chi Nan didn't speak, and Ye Chang asked again, "In addition to attacking you, what else did it do?"

Chi Nan looked into Ye Chang's eyes and found that he could not see Ye Chang's expression through the glasses.

"Or... what else did he say?" Ye Chang confirmed again.

"He said, you always know the way to get out of Zhuren Town." Chi Nan lied again.

Ye Chang was stunned obviously: "I'm not sure yet, I will tell you when the time comes."

"Yeah." Chi Nan didn't get to the bottom.

"What else?" Ye Chang asked again.

Chi Nan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It's nothing more."

Chi Nan thought he could find a sense of relief on Ye Chang's face, but unfortunately not.

Ye Chang said solemnly: "If the alienated shadow can harm the dream visitor through the dream, it will be very dangerous."

"Um."

"Brother Nan, if you really want to get there...I hope..." Ye Chang's expression slowed down, and he curled his lips to Chi Nan, "I hope it's you who killed me."

The eyes of the two overlapped, and for a moment, Chi Nan nodded: "Okay, I see."

Chi Nan suffered from insomnia this night, and even he himself couldn't figure out why this happened.

As soon as I closed my eyes, there was a "shadow" in my mind wearing a ghost face, lingering.

In the eyes of "Shadow", there was a little red that meant a hazard warning.

Chi Nan remembered this look. It was the first pair of eyes he saw after regaining the light in the living room of the Dawn Base meeting. It was also the person he accidentally bumped into at the final ball of the Dusk.

He remembered the chaos at the ball, he looked for Ye Chang against the flow of people, but was invited to dance by the dreamer in the end.

So Ye Chang...should say that the dreamer, why did he pretend to be a novice high school senior and waste time by his side?

Is his job not saturated? Or is it because of bad taste? But why did you choose yourself?

Is there anything he wants in himself?

Until the matter develops further, he doesn't plan to provoke him for the time being, so he can treat the other party as an observation object.

Chi Nan couldn't sleep, and didn't want to turn over and make noises at will, but silently put his hands on the wall.

Because the windows and vents were sealed tightly so that no light could penetrate, the shadows on the wall naturally disappeared.

Chi Nan played lonely in the darkness.

On the second day, Chi Nan's eyes were rarely covered with dark circles.

Ye Chang stopped his gaze on his face a little unexpectedly, "Isn't you awake?"

Chi Nan nodded first, then shook his head halfway through: "Sleep well."

Ye Chang was startled: "That's good."

After less than half a minute, he raised his eyes again and fixedly looked at Chi Nan: "Brother Nan, do you really want to talk to me?"

Chi Nan: "...not yet."

Ye Chang smiled bitterly, without concealing his keenness to see through the other party: "Actually, when you are familiar, you feel that you are not good at concealing emotions."

Chi Nan's lips were pressed into a straight line, and for a long while, just after he made up his mind to say something, there was a slap on the door: "How were you two last night?"

It's Lao Yu's voice.

"It's all okay." Chi Nan swallowed back what he wanted to say, and answered Lao Yu.

Saying that he went to open the door, "There were no new victims last night, right?"

Lao Yu shook his head: "I confirmed at 105. It's okay. Originally, the two girls at 109 had a safe night in your dormitory, but Xia Wei was not in very good condition. He seemed to have a high fever."

Chi Nan took a look at the time. It was about this time yesterday when he hid the fragments of his arm on the ghost shadow wall in his suitcase.

"I'll go see Xia Wei." Chi Nan said.

Lao Yu nodded. The two were about to walk towards 103. Ye Chang's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Can I still be together?"

Lao Yu was a little surprised, because Ye Chang had followed Chi Nan as a matter of course before, and would never ask for permission.

Chi Nan also unexpectedly hesitated, and then nodded and said, "Yes."

Lao Yu was delicate in his heart, lowered his voice and asked Chi Nan: "What? You two quarreled? Your face is so stinky?"

Chi Nan was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

Old Yu sneered: "Who? You, you put all the fierce on your face."

Chi Nan pursed his lips: "Oh... I didn't sleep well, I got up angry."

Xia Wei seemed to have a severe fever, his skin was red like cooked shrimp, half of his face was still covered in the quilt, and he was stunned and talked nonsense: "I will be disabled in the future...how can I find my little brother...uuuuu...disability 0 There is no market, right..."

Old Yu looked helplessly and pitifully at this burnt love brain, and sighed: "Okay, okay, as long as you live, there will be little brothers. The longer you live, the more little brothers you have. You can just kill those competitors. ."

"Can't get through... the little brothers don't like disabilities..."

"Then who gave you a disability, who do you go to?" He was used to ridicule the atmosphere, he peeked at Ye Chang who was joking about him, and found this high school senior who is always gentle and loves to laugh. A face was also strained at the moment.

Suddenly he shut his mouth knowingly, and looked at Chi Nan: "What do you think is going on?"

Chi Nan: "Have you checked his arm?"

Old Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid of being discovered by the NPCs here, I have been covering it with a bandage, and I didn't dare to open it."

Chi Nan nodded: "Why don't you untie it and take a look?"

Old Yu knew it, and immediately opened Xia Wei's quilt and peeled off the bandage on his arm layer by layer. When halfway through it, his face became solemn: "This... how could this be...!"

The white bandage that was not completely loosened was mottled with blood stains, and the rancidity quickly permeated, as if the whole arm wrapped in the bandage was rotten.

"Does it hurt?" Old Yu wrinkled his brows tightly, paused temporarily and asked the burnt Xia Wei.

Xia Wei only closed his eyes and shook his head: "My hands don't hurt, my headache hurts."

"The hand has long been... I don't feel it..." he added.

Although he said that, Lao Yu lightened his movements and continued to untie the bandages. The innermost layers of gauze were soaked in blood and it was difficult to separate them from the rotten flesh. The moment they were torn apart, they made a scalp. The sound of hemp.

When he uncovered the last layer of bandages and saw the condition of Xia Wei's arms, Lao Yu gasped. The visual shock made him sweat all over and he unconsciously moved his eyes away.

But Chi Nan watched for a moment, his brows wrinkled slightly, Xia Wei's waxed hands had rotted.

The whole arm was as if it had been soaked in corrosive liquid, the epidermis was ulcerated and bloody, and it was so rotten that it could hardly be seen that it was a living arm.

"Wh, what's the matter? What's wrong with my hand?" Xia Wei couldn't open his eyes because of the heat. Naturally, he couldn't see the frightening appearance of his arm festering, so he kept shaking his eyelashes and asked.

Lao Yu and Chi Nan exchanged their sights, and lied to Xia Wei while re-bandaging his arms: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Ye Chang hasn't spoken much today. At this moment, he quietly suggested: "Let's go outside and talk."

After the three came out of 103, they closed the door and communicated in a low voice.

"What did Xia Wei do with that hand, why..." Lao Yu paused, suddenly unable to find the right words to describe that terrible arm.

Chi Nan thought for a while: "It should be melted."

"Melt?" Old Yu raised his volume slightly unconsciously, it was difficult for him to associate this word with the human body.

Chi Nan nodded: "Yes, it's like a candle."

Ye Chang instantly understood what Chi Nan meant: "Because we put Xia Wei's shadow in the airtight, opaque suitcase yesterday, his waxed arm had a melting reaction."

"Looking at it this way, once the shadow loses its light source, it will be'starved to death' after sufficient time." Chi Nan added.

The fog in Old Yu's eyes finally cleared, and his eyes lit up: "So as long as you starve the shadows on the wall to death, the giant candle will melt itself into blood and water. Without the giant candle, you can go to him on Candleman's Day. Damn it!"

Chi Nan didn't see any joy on his face, his thick eyelashes drooped, and for a moment he said, "But we don't know how long it will take to starve people to death."

"It should be the time when Xia Wei had a fever, I'll go and ask."

Lao Yu usually has a sloppy personality, but he was impatient at a critical moment. At this moment, he rushed into the room without saying anything, and asked Xia Wei anxiously about when Xia Wei had a fever.

Xia Wei used his squishy brain to recollect and gave an ambiguous answer: "It's midnight...but it doesn't seem to be very comfortable in the afternoon..."

"In the middle of the night or in the afternoon? About when is the afternoon or midnight?" Old Yu asked.

Xia Wei: "It also seems to be noon..."

Lao Yu: "...can be more precise and specific?"

Xia Wei was speechless: "...Uncle...Did you make a mistake? Who would remember the specific time when he became ill?"

Old Yu chasing after him: "You think about it, it's related to whether we can live our lives."

Xia Wei shook his head chaotically: "...I didn't watch the time, so I won't be able to wake up."

Old Yu stood next to him in a hurry, seeing important clues to break his dreams right in front of him, but because of a momentary negligence, he couldn’t move forward.

Of course, except for Chi Nan, who has no emotional ups and downs.

"We can only cut off the ghost wall light source as soon as possible, and take a gamble." Chi Nan knew that Xia Wei couldn't ask anything, and said calmly.

"Yes, let's hurry now..." Lao Yu suddenly paused, frowning, "So the problem is here. It's daytime, and the central square is full of candles at 360 degrees without dead ends, including from the surrounding residential buildings. The light coming out of it is uninterrupted 24 hours a day, how can it cut off the light source?!"

He even thought about covering the entire ghost wall with opaque cloth, but the equipment in the copy was limited, even if they applied the quilt blanket, they couldn't guarantee that the light source would be completely cut off.

Before Chi Nan spoke, Ye Chang looked over, and the two people's eyes smashed together without a doubt.

Ye Chang simply looked into his eyes and said: "According to the four-day observation, there is no police station in the town, and no security guards in the square. NPCs are almost all tools for setting up or issuing mission rules. There is no subjective awareness, and there will be no more. Nosy, even less combat effectiveness."

Old Yu looked at him confused, and Ye Chang added: "Moreover, except for the NPCs who came out to release tasks after dark, the whole town is almost only us dream visitors. No matter how much movement we make, it should be no problem. "

Chi Nan added: "Yesterday we drilled a big hole in the ghost wall, and no one has looked for it."

"So...?" As experienced as old Yu, he was at a loss at this moment, and his heart was still a little uneasy...

Ye Chang glanced at the Candleman's Day salutes piled up not far from the square, of course: "We can blow up the wall without worry."

Old Yu was silent for two seconds: "...grass."
