After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

"Candleman, candy..." Chi Nan quickly recovered calm and calmly said, "and a note."

"Wh, what?" Lao Yu stared over, and heard the words Candleman conditioned his scalp tingling.

"It's just an ordinary little candlestick," Chi Nan paused, and added, "The one made by Ye Chang in the production workshop."

He was so calm that he was almost numb, and put the pewter candlesticks, candies and paper strips in the box on the table one by one.

Lao Yu just walked over to confirm in person, glanced from the candle man to the candy, frowned in confusion, and finally picked up the little piece of paper—

"Brother Nan, I promised to get the hand-made small candle for you. Didn't you wait too long? This is the first time I have made something to give away by myself. Don't dislike it in rough places."

It was Ye Changduanxiu's powerful handwriting, clearly printed on pale yellow paper.

Lao Yu's brows frowned more tightly, and he shook the note and asked in confusion, "What's this all about? Ye Chang left it for you?"

Chi Nan: "It may be Ye Chang, or it may be Ye Chang's other identity."

Old Yu was confused, Chi Nan looked at the note and said calmly: "There are still words on the back."

Lao Yu turned over quickly, only to see the back of it says—

"This lucky candy also has a different name. Dream visitors like to call it regret medicine. Dream visitors who have already exchanged their wishes can redeem their previous wishes after eating it, but please be reminded that after the wish is redeemed, the favorability can only be refunded in half. "

"I hope you will like this regret medicine, and I pray that you won't be able to use it."

The signature says "Your Roommate"

"Fuck! Regret medicine! This rare item is just so... so easy to send us over?" Old Yu picked up the ordinary toffee package, and couldn't believe it would actually be a rare item in the legend. " Regret medicine".

The regret medicine was delivered at this time, and the intention was already obvious. When necessary, releasing the necessary props to enhance the tension and appreciation of dreams has always been the code of conduct for dreammakers.

Chi Nan looked at the regret medicine packaged in candy, remembering that it was the lucky candy that Rui Rui gave him and Ye Chang when he had dinner on the third day.

At that time, Ye Chang was considerate to do it for him, and promised that Chi Nan would return him a candy when he returned to the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, he would fulfill his promise in this way...

The moment Dysonson saw the regret medicine, his desperate eyes lit up: "If this is really regret medicine, take it to redeem the wish, and the wick used to light the giant candle will no longer exist!"

As she said, she acted a little madly to grab the regret medicine from Lao Yu and slammed it in front of the young mother, "We will be saved if you take it!"

The young mother's face sank, and she almost gritted her teeth and said to her: "I don't regret it, why should I eat it?!"

Dysonson, whose sober value rose to 89, almost lost his mind, grabbing the young mother’s hand and shouting, “Can you not be so selfish? Now the method of melting human wax will not work, anyway, your daughter sacrificed to make candle wicks. It's also dead. It's better to let her be wiped out by the system before the sacrifice, so that you can get back half of the favor points. Rui Rui is not so painful, and we can all live!"

Lao Yu looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, frowning and speculating that the method of melting human wax did not work, and agreed with Dysonson’s point of view. He just wanted to persuade the young mother to say that the green hills would not worry about the firewood, but he hadn’t said anything yet. When she said it, she was interrupted by a crisp slap.

The young mother directly slapped Dysonson's face with a cold tone: "Fuck you, I said it, I don't regret reviving Ruirui, I don't regret it!"

Old Yu swallowed the words back into his belly very acquaintedly. He guessed that Dysonson could not swallow the slap, and would definitely try to force Ruirui's mother to take the regret medicine, and the wicked would leave it to her.

A bright red palm print appeared on Dysonsen's left face. She was about to touch the pistol in her pocket with her right hand, and the sizzling electric current in the dormitory stopped her movement.

Zila Zila, as the current became louder and louder, the radio in the corridor rang—

"Thanks to all the volunteers for coming from afar. The preparations for the Candleman's Day have been successfully completed. Today we will usher in a bright and free carnival. The lighting ceremony of the Giant Candle will be held after nine o'clock in the morning. Volunteers are welcome to go to the town. In the central square, witness the moment when the giant candle is lit in front of the Man Candle Memorial Wall. The darkness will ebb forever, and the light will live forever with us.”

After the broadcast, everyone turned pale.

It's nine o'clock in the morning... less than an hour from now...

Now even Lao Yu can’t stand by and watch: “Mama Ruirui, although we successfully sealed the alienated shadows in the exhibition hall yesterday and cut off the light source, it is estimated that there is not enough time. The shadows were not successfully starved to death. Just broadcast You have also heard that Candleman's Day will be held normally after an hour. Our time is really running out. The only way now is to destroy the candle wick to prevent the candle from being lit."

Because Lao Yu’s tone was calm and objective, the young mother didn’t slap him, she was silent for a moment and shook her head: “I’m not going to kill Ruirui with my own hands. It’s impossible even to survive. I do. Won't come out."

After speaking, she stretched her lips into a straight line, and it seemed that no one could let her relax and change her mind.

Old Yu: "..."

Dysonson, who was on the verge of a runaway, was not so patient. She directly took out the gun and held it against the young mother's forehead: "I am not here to discuss with you, nor to ask for your opinion! Give me the medicine! Now! immediately!"

Touched by the cold muzzle, the young mother looked directly at Dysonson without changing her face, and the atmosphere was stretched to the limit for a while.

Pointing a gun at a teammate is not in line with the conventions of the nightmare world, but Lao Yu didn't step forward to stop it, and he wanted to force this stubborn lady to take the medicine that could save everyone.

Chi Nan, who has experienced two dungeons, is the one who has seen the greatest malice of human beings in the face of death and fear. From Nanlu to the middle-aged man on the cruise ship, the instinct of survival allows them to sacrifice their companions to protect themselves, but This time, the situation is much more complicated than before.

But Chi Nan did not have such emotions as tension and fear. In his opinion, there is still enough time, so he said: "Maybe it will not take an hour, the shadow of alienation will be starved to death, the human wax can also be melted smoothly, and Ruirui has returned. Saved."

Dysonson looked at him sullenly: "What's the matter, do you know that'waiting' is the most dangerous behavior in the nightmare world, the longer the time, the greater the variables, I don't want to wait any longer...ah!"

I saw the young mother suddenly turned sideways, and at the same time quickly grabbed Dyson's gun hand, a beautiful grappling action, smoothly subdued the aggressive Dysonson and seized her pistol.

She turned the gun to Dysonson's temples, "I said, don't regret it, no one wants me to kill Rui Rui."

Dysonson was trembling when the gun was pointed at his body. He didn't dare to say another word. He only stared at the young mother whose momentum completely overwhelmed her. He was too old to curse and banned the sound, fearing that he would be fatal if he talked too much. Woman headshot with a shot.

The young mother saw that everyone did not dare to force her to obliterate Rui Rui from the system before removing the gun from Dysonson's temple.

"Go to the central square and have a look. According to the information on the previous crayon drawing, Ruirui should be by the giant candle. We may be able to rescue Ruirui during this period of time before the candle is lit." Only Chi Nanmian did not change his color and follow. The young mother suggested that the gun in the other's hand was just a toy for him.

The young mother nodded without hesitation: "If you are willing to follow me, just keep up. Whoever persuades me to kill Rui Rui, I will be the first to blow his head."

Everyone: "..."

The young mother continued to threaten: "Rui Rui can't be saved, everyone will be buried with me."

"Don't...don't leave me...uuuu..." Hearing the noise here, Xia Wei got up early and sat down sickly on the corridor, and poured a fever and painkiller into his mouth. .

As long as he thinks of staying alone in this cold dormitory, where countless teammates have died, he is scared, so he might as well go to the square with his teammates to live and die.

I couldn't calm down anymore when I was old now, and smiled bitterly at him: "You still lie here to be more comfortable, and what to toss about? Anyway, if someone is unwilling to cooperate, you will die in the end."

Xia Wei's voice was crying: "I'm not afraid of death. Isn't it normal to die in this ghost nightmare world as eating and sleeping? Who is afraid of this stuff? I'm just afraid of being alone when I die..."

Chi Nan pulled out a large box from the bottom of the bed. It was the tool and weapon box that Ye Chang had prepared before. It had all kinds of controlled knives.

Before everyone reacted, Chi Nan distributed the weapons to everyone's hands: "Let's go together."

The outdoor air pressure is extremely low, and the sky is gloomy as if it will be suppressed at any time.

The young mother ran ahead with a pistol. From a distance, she saw a giant arc-shaped altar filled with sacrificial candles in front of the destroyed shadow wall in the central square. It is a huge wax figure of 70 meters high and made of special wax.

The statue is a middle-aged man who is sleeping, naked on his body, and the numerous scars on his skin are unobtrusively exposed to the public. There are layers of flames carved out of his body, as if he is bathing in the blazing fire of hell. Sleeping in.

Although the Giant Candle is just a static wax sculpture, the exquisite carving skills and the lifelike presentation have shocked the dreamers before they even walked forward, as if the flames surrounding the wax figure really burned in front of them. , As long as you stand here, you will be burned out by the fire of karma and turned into ashes.

"My God... I didn't believe in giant phobia before, but today is considered to be an insight," the burnt-out Xia Weiqiang cheered up, holding a boning knife in his hand and sighed at the giant wax figure, "and the crayons we saw that day. Draw exactly the same..."

"For such a large candle wax statue, how many corpses of volunteers have to be piled up."

With a wrench in one hand and a hammer in the other, Chi Nan wondered at the huge wax figure of the candler. After the wax figure was completely melted, the entire altar including the square might be flooded with blood.

"Look at the one hanging above, is there a figure?" Lao Yu pointed to the top of the altar, raising the volume to cover the noisy crowd.

Chi Nan and the others followed what Lao Yu pointed out, and saw that the altar was in the center of the altar, which was facing the top of the giant wax figure. A dark shadow swaying in the wind, from a distance, it looked like a sunny doll hanging under the porch. , And like a prisoner hanged on the gallows.

"It should be... I remember that Rui Rui has been wearing a black funeral dress..." I don't know if it is because of the severe burning, or the scene at this moment is too permeable, Xia Wei's voice is trembling.

The young mother had lost her reason and judgment when she saw her daughter being hung by such an unknown life and death, and shot directly at the crowd in the center of the altar!

But something strange happened. The residents of the town who came to participate in the celebration did not panic, and no one fell because of the cheers, which almost completely covered up the gunshots.

These residents of Candleman Town, who stay at home on weekdays, are neatly dressed in white jumpsuits, both men and women, and are dancing hand in hand around the altar and giant wax figures, like a bonfire in the dark. Dancing wanderers.

When Chi Nan and the others saw this, they took their own weapons and killed them, but Ren Chi Nan used a hammer wrench to hit the brains of the men and women of the celebration. They were like steel and concrete, and they even felt that they were delayed. Nan knocked the hollowed skull into a bag by a mosquito, and scratched it painlessly.

"What's the matter? Will these NPCs not be harmed?" The scene in front of him was too weird, and Xia Wei took a breath.

"Maybe they are not humans, they are all special wax products." Chi Nan would consider burning all these NPCs with a torch, just like in "You Yu Dream" before, but this copy is taboo. Fire and light, he had to suppress this dangerous thought.

"Physically attacking these people should be ineffective." Chi Nan said affirmatively.

Hearing that, the young mother tried to shoot one of the NPCs at close range. Sure enough, the bullet penetrated their hearts, and the inferior skin was wrapped in a regular wax hole, and the punctured NPC was still singing and dancing. The festival is coming, and it will not be affected in the slightest.

Seeing that there were not many bullets left, the young mother had no other way in her urgency. She put away the gun and began to squeeze into the celebration crowd with her flesh and blood, trying to penetrate the crowd and squeeze into the altar to rescue her daughter.

But when she penetrated the hustle and bustle of the crowd, she discovered that there was an enchantment-like existence shrouded outside the altar, like a tempered glass cover that was firmly holding the altar.

Facing the impenetrable altar barrier, the young mother punched and kicked and hit her head with her head. Her crazy behavior finally caught the attention of Ruirui, who was suspended in the altar, and she began to twist her body fiercely, as if to talk to her mother. What information to convey, but they are too far away, and the surroundings are too noisy, no one can hear what Rui Rui is saying.

At this moment, the young mother finally noticed that directly below the daughter was a burning fire, the tongue of the flame was beating and flickering like a ghost, greedily and ferociously coveting the girl as a candle wick.

The flame and the candle wick are always inseparable. The candle wick is the heart of the candle, so the flame is the power of the heartbeat.

Just like the horror scene predicted by the crayon drawing...

"Rui Rui! Rui Rui!" The young mother hit the enchantment with her head helplessly and desperately, piercing her heart.

There are many copies of old experience, and the best at observing people’s behavior and emotions. At this moment, I squeeze the opportunity to squeeze into the crowd and pat the young mother's shoulder with care and attention: "Mom Ruirui, please don’t love me when I say this. Listen, now that you have pointed the gun at my head, I recognize it, but I ask you to seriously consider these words."

The young mother looked at her daughter who was hung over the tongue of fire, sobbing, and did not answer.

Lao Yu continued: "I've reached this point. Instead of letting Ruirui be ignited by fire and sealed in a candle and endure the pain of being burned alive, it is better to use the system to let her go happily and suffer less. You can get back half of your favorability, and it’s not that difficult to start again."

Speaking of this, Laoyu paused deliberately. He saw that Rui Rui’s mother had no intention of aiming her gun at his temple, and then cautiously continued: “Of course, I said this is for myself and the rest of my teammates. I also want to go out alive, and there are people waiting for them to go home, don't you think?"

Lao Yu glanced at the time, at 8:53, the human wax still showed no signs of melting.

He frowned fiercely, but his tone remained convincingly calm: "I said you should consider these carefully. We won't force you. The medicine is here, and the choice is yours."

As he said, he handed the regret medicine packaged into candy to the young mother. She did not resist, but took it in a daze and placed it in her palm.
