Nightmare Attack

There was a thick fur carpet under the luxurious sofa, and the fireplace not far away was dark, as if there were ashes left by some burning wood.

Night had taken over the world, and they shouldn't have been able to see so clearly, but the crystal chandelier above their heads was still on, and the refracted light cut the guests into pieces.

The villa also has electricity.

"Look around first," the strong man retracted his gaze from the chandelier, "Let's go together, don't separate."

Soon they found a large amount of food in the restaurant's refrigerator, including vegetables, rice noodles, meat, and even a few snacks. There was also a basket of eggs in the innermost position.

It looks fresh, like it was put in an hour ago.

But judging from the dust on the ground, that was simply impossible.

The focus of everyone's attention was obviously not here. The strong man looked at the food, but there was no surprise on his face. After a while, he said that at least we won't starve to death.

There was the sound of rushing water behind him. Jiang Cheng turned his head and realized that the woman with the mole on her lip turned on the faucet, and clean water flowed out.

After turning off the faucet, she turned to look at the others and said slowly, "It seems we won't die of thirst."

Then they found a large amount of firewood in a remote small room similar to a storage room.

The firewood is piled next to each other and neatly stacked.

The second floor is where you live, with a master bedroom, a study room, and two small bedrooms. There is also a locked room at the end.

It could be seen that both the strong man and the woman were interested in the locked room, but they both made a tacit understanding and did not propose to break down the door to take a look.

The stairs leading to the third floor were locked by a black iron door. The strong man shook it, but the door did not move.

The group retreated to the living room on the first floor.

Everyone has spent most of the day in this world, especially after experiencing car accidents and long journeys. At this time, they are cold and hungry.

The strong man suggested that he take the middle-aged man to get firewood to make a fire, while the woman, Jiang Cheng, and the fat man went to cook, while the pure woman and the male clerk were left to clean up the house.

Jiang Cheng stared at the table of ingredients in confusion. The woman sneered and ignored him.

Fortunately, Fatty is a good cook and has excellent knife skills. After a while, delicious food was served, and he thoughtfully fried an egg for everyone.

The area around the sofa in the living room has been cleaned up, and everyone is sitting around the closet, holding bowls and eating.

The fire in the closet burned brightly and crackled.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to discuss the mission.

But the discussion almost turned into a quarrel between a strong man and a woman. There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the mission had just begun, there were very few clues, and these two were the ones with the most say.

From the looks of their familiarity, it was obvious that they had successfully completed several missions.

Late at night.

The strong man suggested that everyone sleep in the living room, but the woman always insisted that everyone sleep in the bedroom on the second floor because there might be clues there.

In the end, the two broke up unhappy. The innocent girl chose to go with the woman, and the two walked towards the stairs. When they were about to reach the stairs, the male clerk suddenly ran over.

Jiang Cheng guessed that those two slaps from the strong man left a psychological shadow on him.

In this way, the strong man, the middle-aged bald man, Jiang Cheng, and the fat man stayed in the living room for the night, while the other three went to the bedroom upstairs.

"Idiot!" The strong man cursed in a low voice as he looked at the backs of several people leaving.

Sleeping in the living room is not so particular, and the rest are all men. There are three couches in total, one for each person, leaving just one person to keep watch.

The strong man said that he would guard the first shift, and then took out a pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover of the watch, and placed it on the small table in the middle. "It is about 10 o'clock in the evening, and it will be dawn at 6 o'clock, a total of 8 hours. There are exactly 4 people here, and each person will be on guard for 2 hours, so that everyone can have enough time to rest. "

No one had any objections. The strong man's arrangement sounded very reasonable.

Just as the strong man was about to continue speaking, he saw the fat man in front of him staring at the pocket watch on the table with a strange look.

"Don't look at it, the time is not accurate," he paused and explained: "The time of all clocks brought into the dream world will be disrupted. Its only function now is to keep time."

The time displayed on the pocket watch was 4:18, which was obviously inconsistent with reality.

Since both Jiang Cheng and Fatty were newcomers, the strong man said a few more words, telling them that it was normal for anything that went against scientific common sense to occur in the dream world.

What they need to do is to find the clues hidden behind the anomalies through various anomalies, then crack the mission and leave the dream world.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand, and the strong man looked at him and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Since you have escaped from the dream world, why are you coming back?"

"Because there are only zero and countless times in the dream world. As long as you have opened that door, it will stay with you forever until you die. By the way," the strong man seemed to have thought of something, "the full name of the dream world is Nightmare enchantment.”

"Enchantment?"

"That's right, it's like a boundary wall that separates reality and illusion. No matter how injured you are in the dream world, as long as you still have breath, you will return to reality intact after the mission is over," he smiled bitterly. , “Isn’t this name very appropriate?”

"Then how can we completely escape from this nightmare realm?" The speaker was a bald middle-aged man. His voice was hoarse, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.

The strong man glanced at him and said: "Don't ask such stupid questions. You are not a newbie. You should understand that this question is just like we can't figure out what point in time the world we are in currently. This is an incomprehensible question." problem."

The middle-aged man had a gloomy face and stopped talking.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand for the second time.

The strong man looked at him helplessly, "If you want to ask anything, just ask directly without raising your hand."

"It should be somewhere between the end of March and mid-September 2006," Jiang Cheng said seriously.

The strong man was stunned, and the middle-aged man who had lowered his head was also stunned. The fat man also stared at Jiang Cheng with a suspicious look on his face, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"How do you know?" the strong man asked.

Jiang Cheng calmly took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to a position closer to the others. Several people saw clearly that it was a bag of Dajiyuan bread.

Jiang Cheng turned the bread bag over and pointed to a line of small print on it: production date March 18, 2006. Shelf life is 6 months.

Then he tore open the bag in front of everyone, took a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing for a while, he stiffened his neck, swallowed it, thought about it, and said, "The taste is good, it's very soft, and it's not damp. Considering it's If stored in a refrigerator, the estimated date may be further advanced.”
