After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Everyone in the car was so surprised that they couldn't say a word, until Chi Nan completely pulled off the bandage, revealing a clean and intact neck. While Jiang Yu was astonished, a hanging heart also fell: "Sure enough, you are not true. Was killed."

Chi Nan touched his neck, slipped his Adam's apple and swallowed his saliva. The wound that cut the artery and trachea was completely gone.

The whole person is like ‘new’.

"But the scene where you were killed in the hotel... how did you do it?" An Xin admired, Jiang Yu asked, "It's so realistic. Afterwards, we couldn't detect your pulse and breathing, and there was no flaw in it. "

She had suspected that Chi Nan was not really dead, but the overly real corpse and **** scene in front of her made her have to accept reality.

Chi Nan looked at the dry blood stains on his clothes, spread his hands to the sunlight and looked carefully: "There is no flaw because I really committed suicide."

As he expected, sunlight easily penetrated his palm, floating dust on the leather sofa.

"what?!"

Suicide, real death... Chi Nan's words are too informative, and everyone can't believe their ears.

Jiang Yu was incredible: "You committed suicide?!"

Chi Nan nodded calmly: "To be an experiment."

Jiang Yu: "..." Although she had long been accustomed to Chi Nan's enthusiasm for dangerous experiments, it was still beyond her understanding to kill herself.

Chi Nan continued: "I made a mistake in my judgment when Qu Yijun chased you down last time. Our character has already died. The vengeful evil spirit will kill it again. It's just a form, and it won't really disappear. "

Pei Mo's face was horrified and stunned: "I don't understand what you are talking about... What makes our character dead long ago? Aren't we living well now?"

Chi Nan shook his head: "This is just'what we think we are alive', but there is nothing to prove that we are really alive. From the moment we hit the road, our character is already dead."

Pei Mo and Lu Baizhou were at a loss. Is "what we thought to be alive" a philosophical or literary problem?

Although Jiang Yu couldn't keep up with Chi Nan's thinking for the time being, she was more interested in Chi Nan's inference process than questioning: "Since we can't prove that we are alive, how did you prove that we are dead?"

Chi Nan pressed his finger to the position of the bone-wounding Adam’s apple: "I did this suicide experiment to finally confirm the speculation just now. If I really die, it means the experiment has failed and the inference that the character is dead does not hold. But now I woke up and the experiment was successful."

Everyone looked at him with complex expressions, the price of this experiment's failure would be too great...

"But, how did you think of this possibility?" Jiang Yu asked.

Chi Nan: "The first point is that every time you encounter the "waiting for a car" of the corresponding character, the character's body will appear bruised. Perhaps it is a clue to us from the nightmare that these bruises are corpse spots. "

"The second point, after waiting for the car man plot, the scars on my neck were not cuts, but strangulations on the rope. I suspect that the scars on our bodies correspond to the character's way of death, not the victim's way of death."

"The third point, the driver reminded us when we first got on the car, we can’t get off the car and walk around on the highway at will, it will happen to be sunny. But the second rainy day I offered to get off the car to pick up the people waiting for the car, and the driver didn’t stop me. , And gave me an umbrella. I guessed that because there was rain on the ground as a medium at that time, our taboo of "not getting out of the car and walking around" was broken. "

Pei Mo, who has been unable to keep up with Chi Nan’s thinking, suddenly realized: "The driver explained on the first rainy day... Dead souls need to use water as a medium... to walk on the road in the sun... Rain is to wet the ground and die. His soul is on the road...so, so we are actually...dead spirits?!"

Chi Nan nodded: "Our character has experienced death one after another after the victim was killed."

Although Chi Nan spoke calmly and rationally, everyone in the car was extremely frightened after listening to it.

"There are also some small clues. The hotel looks like a coffin on a sunny day. The accommodation area on the second floor of the hotel is like a morgue. The strange writings on the stairs and walls may be curses to suppress us. The endless day in the hotel may also hint at the fact that we are dead."

"The thing that convinces me the most is that I saw the whole process of the character's death in the near-death state. My character hanged himself, conforming to the wound on the neck."

Although everyone is not very willing to believe that'they' is dead, all the inferences and clues given by Chi Nan are closed, and they have to believe it with justification and evidence.

Jiang Yu quickly stroked all kinds of clues in his mind, his face was terrible: "If our characters are all dead, then the end of this journey..."

Even if he acted as swiftly as Jiang Yu, he hesitated in the face of desperate inference results.

Knowing that she had guessed it, Chi Nan said straightforwardly: "It's not a broken dream, it's really over."

"Wh, what?!" Pei Mo couldn't breathe anymore, and he froze on the chair.

Jiang Yu explained for Chi Nan: “If we are sinners, this 4000km journey may be our last road to atonement. If we don’t grasp it well, we have not completed the atonement and rebirth before the car reaches the end, we will be judged. In order to break the dream and fail, the end is likely to become hell. Together with the character, we will never be able to survive."

Pei Mo was so frightened that his face was gray, his lips trembled a few times and he couldn't say a word. Jiang Yu frowned and said to himself: "4000km can be understood as the countdown to our dying. This nightmare is not a nightmare. We avoid the evil spirits chasing and killing them and all kinds of road conditions. We complete the task within the limited time. The task is not completed and everything is over."

Lu Baizhou hugged his arm, his nails almost pinched into the flesh: "So our task is to atone for the victim? By being successfully killed by them, let the evil spirits dissipate?"

Chi Nan: "Being killed is just one step. I didn't receive a prompt to complete the task."

Jiang Yu: "Then, do you have a clue about your next mission?"

After this "suicide experiment," she believed even more in her previous judgment that Chi Nan is the dream tourist with the most potential to break her dreams.

Chi Nan nodded: "Find the body of the character's brother."

He remembered that before he cut his neck and life completely flowed out of this body, You Yu whispered something in his ear—

"Remember, come to me."

Chi Nan doesn't think this is nonsense by You Yu.

"But this nightmare is the only road and the motel that appeared on foggy days. Will the corpse really be in these two places?" Jiang Yu questioned.

Chi Nan lowered his eyelashes: "I can't be sure now."

Jiang Yu: "You said you saw the character's death process in the near-death state, do you have clues about the corpse?"

Chi Nan thought for a while and shook his head: "Dream of Death did not give me any information about the character handling the corpse."

After his brother died, his brother found that he could not get rid of his brother’s influence on his life. All aspects and details of his life were thoroughly permeated by his brother’s previous actions. The other side was everywhere, like a shadow, affecting him and controlling him... and he gradually I can't tell who I am... Brother and younger brother, they seem to have become one person.

What frightened him the most was the pervasive sense of loneliness. The loneliness spread rapidly to his organs and blood like a virus, and a kind of deformed thoughts grew from his bones. He began to miss his brother hopelessly, like a dying Stockholm patient. .

In order to alleviate his pain, the older brother even started to learn from his younger brother, disguising himself as the other person through colored contact lenses and makeup, wearing the clothes of the other person during his lifetime, learning the other person’s expressions and ways of speaking, and then talking in the mirror. For the whole night, one person plays two roles to fight against the split loneliness.

In the end, the elder brother finally lost his resistance and hanged himself in the place where the younger brother once imprisoned him, ending a life of confusion and pain.

Chi Nan couldn't understand the morbid and complicated emotions of the character. These were all the information that the character itself conveyed to him straightforwardly.

Chi Nan thought that human emotions are really unpredictable. The background of this story is so complicated that he is drowsy. Perhaps You Yu’s colleagues are even worse than You Yu. After all, things are like things together.

It's just a pity that in such detailed and tortuous near-death memories, the only thing missing is the picture of the brother handling the younger brother's body.

The atmosphere in the car was quiet and heavy. At this moment, the unstable current broadcast sounded again——

[Audience friends, now is the weather forecast time: It is estimated that in the next six hours, a rare total solar eclipse will appear over the entire section of Road 404. The total solar eclipse is also known as the Tengu eclipse day, and its appearance can often give Travelers in the dark bring surprises and challenges, as well as danger and uncertainty. Please enjoy this celestial spectacle to the fullest, and seize the opportunity to enjoy the journey better...]

"Total solar eclipse? What's the situation? Where can the total solar eclipse last for six hours?" Pei Mo, who could not bear any more shocks, collapsed on the leather chair with a desperate face.

Jiang Yu went through the broadcast content in his mind: "Since the broadcast mentioned surprises and challenges, it should be Chi Nan's death that triggered the plot point, and it should be helpful to our mission."

At this moment, Lu Baizhou glanced at the road signs passing by outside the window. Their 404 journey left only 2,400km: "Time is running out, we have to speed up."

Less than ten minutes after the broadcast, the originally warm daylight seemed to weaken.

A light-shielding material was pasted on the car window glass. Chi Nan looked up and clearly saw that the sun had been swallowed by a corner.

The speed of the off-road vehicle slowed down, and the originally straight road was twisted and elusive like a mirage, which made people feel unreal during driving.

About five minutes later, a bumpy fork appeared in the wilderness next to the 404 main road.
