After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

The Twilight cruise ship was shining brightly, lighting up the dark sea in an instant, which was completely different from the gloomy and desolate ghost ship that everyone imagined.

At the same time, the system heard a tone—

[In order for all dream visitors to experience the "Twilight Cruise" immersively, the system will be offline when the dream is in progress, and the favorability settlement will be carried out in a unified manner after the dream is cleared. Please dream visitors to explore the dream on their own, and wish you a happy sleepwalking]

Several newcomers looked up, with a little expectation in their eyes.

"It doesn't seem to be terrifying..."

"Yeah, but it looks expensive."

"Oops, I have no money..."

The look of the old dreamer is much more complicated, some secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and some frown, more worried than seeing the ghost ship.

Black Tea took out the motion sickness medicine and put it in his mouth: "I don't know if the mechanism on the cruise ship will be the same as Zicheng, allowing us to eat and drink for free."

"I packed a backpack of snacks, and I didn't have any money and didn't starve to death." Chi Nan patted the backpack behind him and said.

Chi Nan always felt that he was staring at him, and he turned his head to confirm. His eyes collided with the boy who had just arrived. For a moment, Chi Nan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It's not the appearance, but some indescribable feeling... But it feels like this kind of thing is fleeting, the boy is standing under the cruise ship with his eyes hidden under the reflective lenses, making it hard to see his expression.

Chi Nan seemed to see the other side beckoning here.

"Hello," the boy took two steps forward, standing in front of Chi Nan and Hei Cha, a little embarrassed, "Excuse me, can I borrow some motion sickness medicine?"

"You're welcome, we have brought a bunch of medicines, don't hesitate to say if you need anything during the trip," Black Tea directly stuffed two boxes of motion sickness medicine in his hand, and also included a bottle of Fengyoujing...

"Thank you," the boy started to introduce himself after taking the medicine with both hands. "My name is Ye Chang, and the system told me that I need to come here to take the evening cruise, and then I can use the nightmare dungeon to exchange goodwill for my wishes, but I still haven't figured out how. What's going on..."

"Just now you came late and didn't listen. I'll tell you about the rules of the nightmare world when I board the boat." Hei Cha looked at him as a student and looked like he was easy to get along with, so he took special care of him, "My name is Black tea, the guy with green eyes next to him is called Chi Nan."

The eyes of the two met again, and Chi Nan saw his reflection in Ye Chang's lens.

"Have we met before?" Chi Nan asked bluntly.

Ye Chang thought about it seriously, "No, if I have seen it, I must have an impression of you. What's wrong?"

Chi Nan shook his head: "It's okay, I'm wrong."

"By the way, I think the boarding voucher appears to be a double room. Is this also random?" Ye Chang took out his voucher and showed it to the two of them.

"0303B, you and Chi Nan are in the same room," Black Tea said with a smile looking at his voucher, "Ah, you newcomer are so lucky."

Chi Nan glanced at the black tea lightly, and answered Ye Chang's question: "We don't know the mechanism of house allocation. It is probably part of the rules."

"That's it," Ye Chang pursed his lips a little embarrassed, "If you are in the same room, I'd better explain in advance, I'm a crook."

He came out of this cabinet too suddenly, and Black Tea was taken aback: "Ah? What bend? Where?"

Ye Chang shrugged, "Yeah, I like boys. I have met some boys who would mind sharing a room with someone like me, so I have to make it clear."

Dark tea was still stunned, and Ye Chang said understandingly, "You knew each other before. If you want to live together, it’s okay to change it. I can live anywhere."

Straight Guy Black Tea didn't know how to answer these words for a while, but Chi Nan's expression remained unchanged: "It should also depend on the specific rules when changing rooms."

"Then..." Ye Chang looked at Chi Nan, and stopped talking.

Chi Nan shook his head: "Don't mind."

Ye Chang smiled, his eyes curled up nicely behind the lenses: "Thank you."

The black tea next to him suddenly felt a lot of emotion. Are the current high school boys coming out so neatly? Sure enough, times have changed.

In other words, people with good looks are more unscrupulous... He looked at the profile of Ye Changneng's damaging face, and he secretly tutted. If he grows up like this, his sexuality is probably negligible.

At this moment, everyone also noticed the double room, and they huddled together to find roommates while boarding the cruise ship.

Because it is a double room, and different houses for men and women like the dormitory, the triplets and sisters were forced to separate, and the little couples could not live together. They were quite dissatisfied with the allocated rooms.

The most aggrieved one was black tea, and in the end he was the only one who couldn't find a roommate.

"What's the matter, it seems that I'm the only one..."

The red-haired young man next to him thoughtfully said: "This time the dream visitors are odd numbers, but a double room has been arranged. Maybe your roommate had some accident when he came over and couldn't come."

The lady who burned the big wave sneered and said, "It's hard to say, maybe one of us 15 is a ghost."

As soon as she said this, the audience was silent, all looking at me, I looked at you, and finally the green-eyed Chi Nan became the most suspected object, and unfriendly eyes were cast at him one after another.

The black tea guardian kept Chi Nan behind: "Don't guess, I'll spend my life with him."

"Then what's the matter with your eyes?" The red-haired young man swept his eyes sharply, and finally uttered everyone's question categorically.

Chi Nan pondered for a moment, and then uttered two words: "Cosmetics."

He felt it was too troublesome to explain, and used the most acceptable reason to perfuse it.

Everyone: "..."

"What an exquisite boy," Big Wave smiled, "I just guessed casually. I have to pay more attention to each other before I need to suspicion each other."

The redhead smiled apologetically: "Don't mind, everyone is risking their lives in the nightmare book, so I just ask if you have any questions."

At this time, all the talents narrowed their eyes and began to discuss the matter of changing houses.

Ye Chang turned to Black Tea and said, "If you are alone, we don't have to think about your roommate's ideas when we change rooms. It's convenient."

Hei Cha glanced at Chi Nan, just about to say something, an old but powerful voice suddenly sounded at the end of the deck: "Dear guests, the rooms for this trip have been arranged in advance, and it is not allowed to change rooms without permission. I’m sorry for the inconvenience."

Everyone turned their gazes toward the source of the sound, and saw an old man in a white uniform bowed deeply at them: "I am the captain of the Dusk, and welcome you on the Dusk cruise ship. In the next time, I will be sincere. I hope that every guest can enjoy this wonderful holiday at sea."

The old captain spoke so sincerely that the moment he looked up, the guests seemed to be able to see the light flashing in his eyes.

"Wait a minute," the girlfriend of the couple was unhappy, "Why can't I change? I came with my boyfriend, can't we live together?"

The old captain smiled politely: "I'm sorry, ma'am, it is stipulated on the Dusk, please forgive me."

What else the girl wanted to say was stopped by the big wave: "Don't ask, this should be the rule of the nightmare dungeon."

"Then what if I want to change?" The girl was a little angry.

The big wave spread his hands: "For death, the other two people who changed houses were forced to bury them."

When everyone heard this, the girl was even more frightened and let out a low voice, and her boyfriend immediately came over and hugged her to comfort her: "Forget it, our room is not far away. If anything happens, you call me."

While they were discussing the rules of house swaps, suddenly a long sound of ‘oo’ cut through the night sky, and the cruise ship departed the port and set sail.

Almost at the moment of departure, the dark sky suddenly opened up, as if the black cloth covering the sky was suddenly torn apart. The end of the sea showed a round of sunset, which hung roundly above the horizon, afterglow. Sprinkled on the calm sea, sparkling brilliant.

It's the sunset, twilight.

Chi Nan hasn't seen the daytime since he regained his sight. At this moment, he can't help but stare at the setting sun and the sea a bit, and his eyes are slightly wet.

Fortunately, the sleepwalkers who have been in the dark for a long time are attracted by the magnificent evening scenery in front of them, and almost no one notices that Chi Nan's eyes are red.

Only Ye Changzhang glanced over his eyes casually, and the sea breeze brushed the hair on his forehead. He lowered his head, and the corners of his lips raised an imperceptible arc.

"It's so beautiful..." Black Tea sighed from the bottom of his heart, "The long-lost sunset."

"I don't remember how long I haven't seen daylight..."

The old captain looked at the guests who exclaimed with satisfaction: "The scenery along the Dusk is beautiful and unique. I believe you will fall in love with this journey."

"Excuse me, how many days is this trip? The arrival date is not stated on the ticket." Chi Nan quickly withdrew from the emotion of being shocked by the setting sun and asked.

The old captain did not answer immediately, but looked deeply at the blood-red sunset, and slowly said: "When the sunset falls below the sea level, the night falls, and the evening trip will end."

Black tea is puzzled: "It will end when it gets dark? But isn't the sunset only a matter of twenty minutes?"

The old captain smiled: "On the Twilight, the time of sunset is always determined by the guests."

"...?"

Everyone was at a loss, and the old captain didn’t intend to explain. He checked the time and continued: “The dinner service on the Twilight is from 4:30 pm to 70:50 in the afternoon. Everyone will put their luggage in the guest room and take a break. After that, you can go to the restaurant for dinner."

"The recreation room, gym, library, exhibition hall and other facilities are open from 8 am to 8 pm every day." The old captain continued to announce the rules.

The big wave raised his eyebrows: "Then what is the arrangement for the period from eight o'clock in the evening to eight o'clock the next morning?"

The old captain smiled slightly: "Dear guests, the Dusk has a tradition since ancient times. At 8 o'clock every night, all guests must gather in the banquet hall and tell a horror story every night."

When the experienced old dream visitors heard it, they knew that this was an important rule in the copy, and they all pricked their ears.

"The horror story will last from eight o'clock in the evening to eleven thirty. All guests must return to the guest room to rest before twelve o'clock. Under normal circumstances, they cannot leave the guest room without authorization after twelve o'clock."

Ye Chang stood beside Chi Nan, and whispered thoughtfully after listening, "Under normal circumstances, that is to say..."

"Special circumstances say otherwise." Chi Nan replied.

Hei Cha glanced at the two people who were about to move, and consciously stood aside...

He smelled dangerous...

"I have a question," the red-haired young man raised his hand. "You said the journey will end after the sun goes down. What happened to the night just now?"

The old captain didn't look at his watch intently, and said with a polite smile: "The sun may not set, but our clock is always turning."

In other words, this dungeon world is likely to maintain the state of dusk, but the time is still moving forward.

No wonder it's called the Twilight Cruise... Chi Nan glanced at the sunset on the horizon.

The old captain stood straight, raising his voice and repeating again: "I hope you all remember that you must attend the story meeting in the banquet hall at 8 o'clock every night. Everyone must prepare a horror story. You can't leave the room after 12 o'clock in the morning until At eight o'clock the next morning."

"Dear guests, please remember." The old captain bowed deeply and turned to leave the deck.

The old captain's tone is polite and respectful, but this situation is creepy.

After discussing a few words on the deck, everyone decided to wait and see for one night, so they went away and settled in their rooms first.

"Shall we go back to the guest room now?" Ye Chang turned to his new roommate.

"You go back first, I want to stay here for a while." Chi Nan put his hands on the boat fence, looking at the sea level to the west, as if deliberately avoiding the other's eyes.

Ye Chang glanced at him and nodded: "Then I'll go and clean up first."

Hei Cha came over to greet Ye Chang and leave together: "Our rooms happen to be next to each other. If something goes wrong at night, I can take care of it..."

Chi Nan lay alone on the fence for a while, suffocating tears for a whole day in front of the sunset.

Since returning to the light, the number of times he shed tears has become more frequent, as if he had committed a cigarette addiction. From time to time, he had to take a few mouthfuls on the rooftop, otherwise his whole body was not right.

Crying comfortably, Chi Nan began to look at the sea in a daze.

For a long time, as a painting, it was fixed on the wall, and after being reborn, he lived in the dark, which made Chi Nan's instinctive fascination with all the warm and flowing colors.

And he inexplicably feels that the scenery in front of him has a sense of deja vu, including the platform at the dawn base that day, the neon flashing but deserted streets of the sub-city, and the sunset that will not fall in front of him...

He is working hard to remember, but unfortunately the memory of hundreds of years in the painting has long been blurred.

But it doesn't matter, he likes this bizarre nightmare world.

After he had seen enough of the sunset, it was already ten minutes before he returned to the cabin room.

Chi Nan opened the door, and Ye Changzheng carefully inspected the room, like a serious student.

"I've seen it all in the room, but I didn't find any surveillance cameras. The bed was very soft and the bedding was clean. It was well equipped, but there were some weird traces that made people care about it."

Strange traces?

Chi Nan followed Ye Chang's point of view, and the shocking scratches on the door panel immediately broke into his field of vision.

The deep messy scratches faintly reveal dark red blood stains, just like... the scratches left on the coffin board when a person was buried alive.

How helpless and desperate people are, will they want to grind their fingers to survive?

Is this door made of coffin wood? Or the one that was buried alive?

"Not only at the door, but here, here, and this."

Ye Chang pointed to the ceiling, inside the wardrobe, and even the wall behind the full-length mirror, with blood scratches all over.

…Are places that normal people can’t easily reach. This is incredible.

"Brother Nan, how did these traces get up?" Ye Chang asked like a rookie.

Chi Nan was silent for a moment and looked at the bathroom: "Have you checked the bathroom?"

Ye Chang nodded seriously, and asked humbly, "Is there something wrong with the bathroom?"

"Oh, I want to ask if there is hot water in the bathroom, and I want to take a bath." Chi Nan answered naturally.

Ye Chang choked and laughed, "...There is hot water and a bathtub, so it's cleaned very cleanly."

"Great," Chi Nan really took out his bag to change his clothes like a vacation. Just stepping into the bathroom with his front feet, he stopped with his back feet. He turned his head and looked at Ye Chang. "Would you like to wash first?"

Asking not sincerely...

Ye Chang busy shook his head: "No need, I am used to washing before going to bed."

"Well, then I'm going to wash it." After speaking, he closed the bathroom door, and it didn't take long for him to hear the rushing of water.

Almost the moment he closed the door, the bewildered expression on Ye Chang's face disappeared.

He went to the window and opened the curtain, took off his thick glasses and held it in his hand, enjoying the long sunset over the sea with a comfortable expression on his face.

Although the criss-crossed barbed wire on the window was a bit unpleasant, it did not affect his mood in the least.

Fifteen minutes later, Chi Nan came out of the bathroom covered in water vapor. Because he had just taken a hot bath, his skin was stained with a thin layer of red, making the two moles at the end of his eyes more vivid.

Ye Chang was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking through the exercise book seriously through thick glasses.

He seemed to feel Chi Nan's confused gaze, and looked up from the book with a wry smile: "I am going to take the college entrance examination."

Chi Nan was stunned for a moment. He didn't feel the same as he had never experienced the torture of the exam. He just nodded and said, "Come on."

The two explored the room for a while, except for blood scratches and the dense barbed wire on the windows, not much abnormality was found.

To be honest, the bath water here is hot enough, and the smell of the shower gel is also very good. Chi Nan really enjoys it.

It was almost six o'clock, the door banged banging: "Are you guys okay, do you want to go to dinner together?"

Chi Nan glanced at Ye Chang, and only after obtaining the consent of the other party did he agree to the black tea invitation.

The restaurants on the evening cruise ship are quite side-lined. They are buffet style, with a full range of dishes and drinks from various countries. The meal fee is already included in the ferry ticket and you can eat free of charge.

"Is it okay to eat what's on board?" As a rookie, Ye Chang had this concern.

Black tea: "It should be fine, and the dreamer will not be so incompetent to poison us."

"Probably." Ye Zichang murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

While talking, Chi Nan already took the tray to fetch the food, and the black tea snorted, "In the last copy, your roommate and I did not eat less, and it is not easy to order it now."

Ten minutes later, the black tea returned with Ye Chang full of loads, and found that Chi Nan was already sitting in his seat and eating with relish.

Chi Nan always looks like eating slowly and happily, even ordinary food, it seems that there are layers of filters stacked on his plate.

"With Chi Nan, passing the copy is like coming to vacation." Black Tea sighed daily.

Chi Nan seriously chewed a piece of steak, but he accidentally moved his eyes to the fresh milk puff on Ye Chang's plate. His eyes were stunned, and he secretly choked.

Sweet. Want to eat. But can't eat.

"Are you nervous?" Black Tea asked newcomer Ye Chang.

Ye Chang smiled and said, "...actually it's okay, it seems quite fun."

Hei Cha looked at him with a complicated expression, and thought that it was a child. That was the moment when you hadn't encountered any horror, so just don't cry when the time comes...

Chi Nan moved his eyes from Ye Chang's plate and talked to Black Tea about the scratches in the room: "Is there anything abnormal in your room?"

After listening to the black tea, his face changed, and the cheeks who were chewing food with relish stopped. He suddenly felt that the food in his mouth had lost its taste. It was like chewing wax. It was very difficult to swallow it: "So...in my room There is a scorching smell, just like someone is grilling in the house, and the smell cannot be dissipated because of bad ventilation. There are also some traces of ashes on the ground near the bedside table, and I can’t tell what is being burned... You don’t even think about it. , What you said..."

Half of Black Tea's body was covered with a layer of white hair sweat, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

Although he is a supernatural anchor, it makes his scalp numb to think about being in the same room with ashes alone.

Chi Nan expressionlessly picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly: "Have you burned someone?"

Black tea: "..." Why did you tell me directly.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chang on the side thought about it for a while, and said seriously, "It may be the dead who burned. They died in our house, and they burned in the next room."

"Also reasonable." Chi Nan commented.

The corners of Black Tea's lips twitched: "Two big brothers, can we discuss this issue after dinner..."

Ye Chang was embarrassed and said sorry, but Chi Nan obediently continued to eat.

In the rest of the time, in order to narrow the distance between Ye Chang and them as soon as possible, and also to relieve the horror just now to prevent the sober value from rising, the black tea began to work hard to break the ice and chat.

In addition to the rules of the nightmare world, he vividly explained the experience of himself and Chi Nan in "The Dream of You Yu".

Ye Chang seemed to listen with gusto, and even forgot to deliver the food to his mouth.

When Black Tea was satisfied with his storytelling ability, Ye Chang turned his head and asked Chi Nan, "So, what kind of person is the young master in that villa?"
