"It's called Nightmare, it's a monster made up of painful memories, and it likes to devour everything that moves, so the best way to meet it is to hold your breath and close your eyes and pretend to be dead."
Chen Jiuge read the relevant records in the yellow book, sweating on his forehead, it seemed that it was the first time he had met such a terrifying big guy.The body that looks like a small building walks unscrupulously on the streets, no, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that it is rolling."
Oops?
Is it the meaning of nightmares, or is it the meaning of hunger?
”I didn't dwell on its name, I avoided it from afar, and waited for it to run away before I dared to get out of its hiding place.The deep dreams were strange and different worlds, and it was only here that I realized for the first time how barren my imagination was.Almost all the terrifying monsters formed in the human subconscious can find their prototypes here, a completely monster world, where nothing good can be seen, just like the sky above is forever black and white, and the only theme of this city is despair.It is no wonder that the root cause of the formation of deep dreams is because of those abandoned memories and negative emotions, human beings are very strange creatures, and beautiful things will be remembered in their hearts, and even taken into photos and taken out to enjoy from time to time.Bad, painful, and cruel memories are selectively forgotten and thrown in the mind to be deposited in another world.Walk through blocks until you enter the Desperate Neighborhood that is specially marked on the map.The architecture of this area is very strange, mostly black and gray, like a town that has been burned by fire."
There was an epidemic of the Black Death a long time ago, and people burned town after town to isolate the source of the disease."
Truman was wearing a white coat, as if he was a little emotional, and he stood outside the block, not moving, and seemed very resistant to entering it."
Is this neighborhood the memory of those who were burned alive?"
I was the first to enter, reaching out and touching the walls of the surrounding buildings, which were old, cracked, and emitted an indescribable stench: "It's so real, no wonder it blurs the line between reality and dreams after staying for a long time." ”I glanced at Ye Bing, said no more, and casually buckled off a piece of wall skin and handed it to Truman: "All buildings exude a pungent smell, a bit like the smell of corpses. ”Truman didn't think much about it, he directly stretched out his right hand and knotted it over the wall, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then quickly threw it away: "I'm just a brain and neurologist, not a forensic doctor." ”I stared at the dark spot left on Truman's right hand, and the corners of my mouth went up, but the mask of good and evil covered it, and outsiders couldn't see the change in my expression at all, and it was just a small episode for others."
Let's go, go inside and have a look."
I didn't care if Truman wanted to or not, and pulled him into the block.The area of each block in the deep dream is very different, and the area of the Desperate Block is almost ten times the size of the unlit block, and it is like a labyrinth to enter it."
Desperate Neighborhood has brought you with us, now should we discuss hunting Target A?"
Chen Jiuge walked at the back of the line, and his cautious appearance made me more cautious."
Target A is not so easy to kill, and it is only a sixty percent chance that you and I will cooperate with each other, what if the hunt fails, and you are familiar with the way to escape from the dream and leave, leaving me and my friends here to bear the revenge of Target A?"
In fact, the so-called sixty percent may just be my nonsense, in my opinion, with me and Chen Jiuge, the possibility of killing the mysterious woman is infinitely close to zero."
And what do you want?"
The smile on Chen Jiuge's face remained unchanged, but I could feel the impatience in his tone."
Take me to that mirror, I have to see it with my own eyes before I can leave to help you on your mission.Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know you must have a backhand, I don't need to know the specific method, I just want to see the mirror and make sure you don't lie to me. ”Without seeing the mirror, I can't verify Chen Jiuge's statement, and I will never cooperate with him."
Just looking in the mirror?
Aren't you afraid that I'll just find a mirror to fool you?
”Chen Jiuge's voice turned cold."
You can try."
I said indifferently, and none of the four people in my group spoke, each with a ghost, walking in the burned neighborhood.As he went deeper, the stench in the air became more and more intense, and Chen Jiuge's smile slowly converged: "Okay, I promise you, but that place is not safe, even I don't dare to enter and exit casually, if you talk about the degree of danger, it is not much easier than hunting target A head-on." ”"It's okay, you'll have to face it sooner or later anyway."
I opened my mouth lightly, causing Chen Jiuge to sneer: "You are really confident, your name is Xia Chi, right?"
I remember you. ”He beckoned to Ye Bing: "Don't stay too far away from me, there are other things mixed in a few of us, don't run around, I will take you out." ”Chen Jiuge's sudden overtures to Ye Bing made me a little incomprehensible, what really liked Ye Bing was the hunchbacked boy, that is, the stuffed bear on my back, what was he still pretending to be an evil spirit?
I turned my gaze, unless Ye Bing had an irreplaceable role."
I hope I'm thinking too much."
Following Chen Jiuge, a few of us gradually entered this neighborhood in the name of despair."
Normally, the mirrors in each block are placed in the tallest building in the block, but there are exceptions."
Chen Jiuge led the rest of us deeper and deeper until the road was scorched and the surrounding houses began to show serious signs of burning."
You should all have seen that this place is actually very dangerous, and I don't want to deceive you and cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Chen Jiuge took out the yellow notebook and flipped to a certain page: "Target A has been here before, and marked this place in red to warn others, and she also left some words, the reason why I speculate that I can escape from the deep dream from here is also based on her records." ”I looked at the yellow book with my judgmental eyes, and there were few scribbling arrows and symbols on it, and some vague handwriting behind it."
I spent a lot of time deciphering these symbols and texts and came up with some information about the neighborhood."
The smile on Chen Jiuge's face had become very light, and he was in a state of high tension, as if danger would appear from all angles: "You have also seen the buildings in the desperate block, as if they were burned by fire, in fact, Target A's guess at that time was similar to what you just said, this area should be a collection of painful memories generated by all the people who were burned alive before they died.The process of burning to death is long and desperate, and these memories are like ugly scars left by fire, and no one wants to recall them, always discarding them in the deepest part of the dream, and over time forming this huge block that has been burned. ”"We're not in the deepest part yet, so we don't feel that pain and despair, but as we move forward, we're definitely going to be affected by this neighborhood, and we might see a lot of ugly, horrible things, and they're all made up of those painful memories."
He paused, his gaze swept over several of our faces: "You should also be able to find that there are no human shadows and 'thoughts' in this area, in fact, it is not nothing, but once those things come in, they will sink and then be assimilated, this is another terrifying place in the Desperate Neighborhood, which can make the souls who enter it feel real despair. ”"Xia Chi, I know that as a show anchor, you are used to seeing all kinds of horror and horror, but don't be careless in this place, otherwise not only will you die, but you may also kill all of us."
Being specially reminded by Chen Jiuge by name, I realized that things might be a little different, and listened patiently to what he said."
This neighborhood is shrouded in despair and pain, and it will awaken the despair and pain in the hearts of all who enter, it will find the holes in your character, dig out the things you fear most in your heart, and then turn these unbearable memories into reality!"
Chen Jiuge said word by word: "The more powerful a person is, the less he will show his fear, and once this fear that has been squeezed in his heart for a long time becomes a reality, it will become a disaster that no one can be spared!"
