After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Chapter 32: Candleman's Day (2)

A sneer suddenly came from the front half of the bus: "Then Zhuren Town, you guys, is pretty powerful. There have been no fire accidents for so many years?"

The driver's tone fell cold all at once: "No, the residents of our town are very careful about using fire safety."

"If you use fire to be safe, don't light candles at night." The man continued with a smile and lighted a cigarette casually.

Sparks flickered in the narrow space of the car, and the old driver cursed: "No smoking in the car!"

The man laughed, took two breaths to extinguish the cigarette, and shrugged: "Oh, I'm sorry, I know, it's safe to use fire."

driver:"……"

"At the station, volunteers, please get off the train in an orderly manner."

The high-profile behavior of that person just now successfully attracted the attention of all dream tourists in the car.

But his gaze crossed the crowd, and finally stopped on Chi Nan's face, and waved at him: "Little blind man, it's really you!"

Chi Nan was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Yu."

"Haha, I'm afraid you won't recognize me. What a coincidence," Lao Yu said as he walked over, subconsciously looked at Chi Nan's eyes, and then moved his gaze to Ye Chang next to him. "This is ...?"

"Hello, my name is Ye Chang, it's Chi Nan..." He paused, his lips bend slightly, "Roommate."

"Ye Chang... Ye Changmeng dreams a lot," Lao Yu muttered, giving him a calm look, "Still a student?"

"Well, senior year of high school."

"Newcomer?" Old Yu asked again.

"Brother Nan took me to the last book." Ye Changqian said.

"Well, yes, I wish you a smooth exam after you go out, and you don't need to repeat your studies."

This may be the most happy blessing in the nightmare world, as if they were still alive in their daily lives.

Ye Changxiao: "Thank you."

Lao Yu looked at Chi Nan again: "Where is that little anchor? Is he still alive?"

Although his words are directly uncomfortable, they are true. The nightmare world is precarious, and his former teammates may disappear within a few days.

Death is as common as eating.

Chi Nan nodded: "I had a book with him, and now he is still resting in Zicheng."

Old Yu raised his eyebrows and sighed: "So after you left "You Yu Dream" last time, you have already completed another nightmare book? It's **** fast enough. "

"It's up to us to choose." Chi Nan said lightly, completely free from the anguish of being pushed back to work.

Old Yu smiled bitterly: "That's true."

The car parked in the central square of the town.

There is an old fountain pond in the center of the square. There are some marble sculptures around the pond. At first glance, it is not much different from an ordinary town square, except for the dense candles that flicker in the night breeze.

There are so many candles here that there are even a circle around the fountain outlet, and a little candle light is sprinkled on the water, which is a little sparkling and romantic.

It's a pity that no dreamer with a mission is here to find romance.

Chi Nan approached the fountain, looked into the water, and stared at his reflection on the water for a few seconds in the sparkling light.

It should be the reflection of You Yu...

At the moment of his trance, the originally calm water surface suddenly raised fine waves.

"What's the matter?" Ye Chang sat down by the fountain pond, put his fingers into the water and fiddled with it, smashing the pond calmly.

The reflection of "You Yu" is also distorted with the water ripples.

"Hey, this high school third-year classmate, quickly wipe your hands, and don't touch things here." Old Yu saw that the boy in high school was as big-hearted as Chi Nan, and couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Ah... OK..." Ye Chang seemed to have listened to Lao Yu's warning and was busy looking for tissues from his pocket. Before he found it, Chi Nan had already passed the handkerchief over.

Ye Chang took the handkerchief and smiled, "Thank you."

"Is there something wrong in the water just now?" Ye Chang asked again, wiping his hands.

Chi Nan was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No, I just see if I slept all the way, my hair is messed up."

Ye Chang: "...I will fix it for you when it's messed up." He couldn't help but smiled again, showing his small tiger teeth.

This was the first time Chi Nan noticed that the boy had a small tiger tooth, which was quite funny.

Chi Nan quickly looked away and looked over the fountain to the huge stone wall on the west side of the square.

He frowned slightly and walked towards the stone wall.

Lao Yu followed his sight, biting his cigarette: "What's the matter?"

"There are many figures on the wall." Chi Nan approached, his eyes swept across the white wall filled with figures.

The surroundings are so bright and the shadows on the walls are normal, but it is clear that behind the moving shadows, a layer of shadows is still.

Lao Yu quickly understood what Chi Nan meant, and hurriedly turned around and said to everyone: "Let's give in first, don't let the shadow cast on the wall."

Although the scattered people on the square were confused, they knew the seriousness of their pros and cons, and they hurriedly scattered around, carefully not allowing shadows to be reflected on the stone wall on the west side.

"Sure enough, these figures were here originally," Lao Yu narrowed his eyes delicately, "Do you know what this reminds me? A photo of nuclear radiation in a city, but specifically..."

Lao Yu shook his head, as he could hardly remember the scumbag.

"After the atomic bomb exploded, the phenomenon of'ghost shadows' appeared on the walls of many buildings in the accident site," Ye Chang explained. Burns are left on the wall; there is also a saying that the light radiation is bleaching. Once the explosion light is blocked by human shadows and objects, it will permanently leave a shadow on the wall."

Older than admiringly looked over: "High school really is the pinnacle of human knowledge reserves..."

But what does this have to do with Candleman Town? Chi Nan thought, turning to the driver who was cleaning the car: "Has Zhuren Town suffered from nuclear radiation?"

The driver looked at it strangely: "Nuclear radiation? How could it be possible! We residents of Zhuren Town have always lived a peaceful life incomparable to the world, so such terrible things will not happen."

Chi Nan asked again: "How did these shadows on the wall get up?"

The old driver stopped his work and smiled proudly: "This is the greatest, most beautiful and imaginative work of art in our town besides the giant candle. It was produced by a young artist many years ago, and he is also I grew up in Candleman Town!"

"Is that artist still living in the town?"

"Tian jealous of talent, passed away from a serious illness more than 30 years ago." The driver said sadly.

So is it just a work of art?

Chi Nan tilted his head, directly raised his hand to touch the wall, and gently rubbed his fingertips along the outline of the black shadow on the wall.

The bus driver stared blankly not far away, and did not step forward to stop him from touching the "great artwork."

Old Yu looked at his every move in confusion: "What are you confirming?"

Chi Nan faced the light and looked at the finger that had just touched the wall: "I want to see if it will fade."

There are no traces on the fingers.

Hmm... it won't fade, maybe it's not painted, or it's not a paint that can be wiped off so easily.

Ye Chang handed back the handkerchief at the right time: "Wipe it, it's dusty."

"Yeah." So the handkerchief returned to its original owner in this way...

The old man really convinced these two people. Now that young people are looking for clues directly to get started?

"Can you take the liberty to ask, what kind of paint is used in this great work of art?" Chi Nan asked the driver politely again.

The driver’s eyes looking at the shadow wall were full of admiration: “This is our artist’s secret. Tourists and volunteers only need to appreciate the beauty of the artwork. They don’t need to know so much.”

"Oh, good." Chi Nan knew nothing to ask, so he shut up.

"Sometimes the truth destroys beauty, doesn't it?"

The old driver suddenly laughed in a low voice, then turned back to his car without saying a word.

Chi Nan looked back a few more times and found that there were no figures in the empty bus, and the front of the bus was quietly lighting a candle, which at first glance looked like an incense lit on the head of a grave.

It was an NPC dressed as a female candle factory worker who took the volunteers from the town to the volunteer dormitory.

It was only a ten-minute walk from the square to the dormitory. They were almost surrounded by candles on the road. Rows of candles burned to the end of the path, and the dangling light reflected the quiet town like a hall.

The densely packed candles look for a long time, and it is easy for people to have a stronger sense of anxiety than absolute darkness.

Just the same as the setting sun that never fell in the last copy.

A group of people walked in the candlelight, and their shadows were crisscrossed and mottled on the road, looking very lively.

"We have invited ten volunteers in total for this Candleman's Day. Unfortunately, there are only five vacant rooms in the dormitory building. Two people and one room are required." We won’t help distribute this."

The female workers led them into an old big iron gate. The dormitories were rows of white painted bungalows. The courtyard was filled with tropical plants such as mangoes and coconut trees, and the pillars were filled with candles without exception.

Although the dormitory looks dilapidated, it is basically clean and decent.

Moreover, being able to organize a team on their own makes a few old dream visitors in the team a little surprised. Is this nightmare book so free?

"However, I want to remind all volunteers in advance..." The female worker who had been expressionless suddenly smiled strangely, "The choice of roommate is very, very important."

As soon as she uttered these words, she immediately stirred up a lot of water in everyone's hearts.

The look of the dream tourist present suddenly became subtle, and he began to look at his companions with a lot of gaze intentionally or unintentionally.

"What do you mean? Do you mean what will happen in the same room?" asked a thin, white boy wearing exaggerated ear studs in the team. "Or do you want to bind your roommate to complete the task?"

But the female worker didn't even look at him, and didn't even plan to answer his question. She returned to a dead-water face and continued to urge: "It's late at night, please decide your roommate as soon as possible."

There was an uproar in the yard.

The meaning of the female worker should be obvious. Choosing a roommate is a very important part. Once a mistake is made, it is likely to increase danger and difficulty. It may also be a win if you hold the right thigh...

Chi Nan only noticed this round of teammates. In addition to two acquaintances, Ye Chang and Lao Yu, there were three boys and four girls left. The allocation of double rooms was actually just right.

It should be deliberately arranged by the dream maker.

Among them is a pair of mother and daughter in black funeral gowns. The little girl is about eleven or twelve years old. She has been holding her young mother's hand and looking curiously at her brothers and sisters, while her mother has been worrying about something nervously and nervously. The brow was never stretched from beginning to end.

The other two women are in their twenties, one with waist-length hair and the other with shoulder-length short hair. They do not speak while smoking cigarettes, but their demeanor and demeanor should be known from the beginning, and their calm appearance also seems to be experienced. Dream tourist.

The remaining three boys look like college students.

One of them is like an artist, with long hair falling over his shoulders, quietly and quietly; the boy standing next to him keeps his head and has a very conspicuous blue skull tattoo on his neck.

The last one is the man with earrings who spoke just now. He is feminine both in dress and appearance. His eyes are restless and he wanders around Chi Nan and Ye Chang, unabashedly writing his interest on his faces.

A straight man, like an old Yu, can instantly receive a signal belonging to **** from his line of sight...

"In this way, it's still unclear about the role of'roommates'. Let's try our best to bring new people to the elderly," said Lao Yu, who seems to be the most experienced person. "Check again, who is a pure newcomer?"

Hearing that, the mother of the mother and daughter, the boy with long hair raised his hand, the boy wearing the earrings glanced at Ye Chang who did not raise his hand, and raised his arm with a brush.

"Xia Wei, you're almost ready to order, what kind of newcomer is you pretending to be now?" The blue skull tattoo boy revealed mercilessly.

Xia Wei rolled his eyes at him: "Go away, don't you hear the old man picking up a new person to live in? Don't prevent me from looking for one."

He didn't speak in a low voice, and everyone at the scene heard clearly. The little girl raised her head and asked her mother curiously: "What is 1?"

The corners of her mother's lips stiffened: "...Don't ask, Mom doesn't know it very well either."

Xia Tongyi didn't mind everyone's complicated gaze, and walked directly in front of Ye Chang with a smile on her face: "Brother, can I be your roommate these days?"

The straight old man turned his head back with a smile, and Chi Nan didn't have any expression.

Chi Nan recalled it. He remembered that Ye Chang seemed to say that he was bent.

There was no embarrassment or discomfort on Ye Chang's face, and he calmly said apologetic: "I already have a regular roommate."

"Oh," Xia Wei raised his eyebrows knowingly, and looked at Chi Nan next to him, smiling calmly, "I'll have a chance in the future."

Ye Chang also smiled politely, his eyes curled beautifully behind the lenses: "Probably, there is no chance."

Old Yu couldn't help but laughed, and the man with the skull tattoo sneered: "Xia Wei, you give up quickly."

Xia Wei twitched his mouth and stared back: "Grass, I will never live with you anyway."

The little boy who was forced to come out and exposed his attributes: "..."

"Uncle, I choose you." Xia Wei naturally stood beside Lao Yu.

Lao Yu's smile instantly stiffened on his face: "...cough, NPC reminds roommates that it is very important, I think we have to think carefully."
