After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

After all the calculations, Lao Yu and Xia Wei were assigned to a dormitory.

He had no choice anyway.

"Xiao 0, how many books have you ever had? To tell the truth makes me know." Obviously, Xia Wei raised his hand just now to bluff people, just to share with Ye Chang.

Xia Wei curled his lips: "Just one, Candleman's Day is the second one."

Old Yu: "Oh?"

Xia Wei saw that he didn't believe him, and said aggrieved: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Xiao. We are classmates with him, and we have a nightmare to enter together."

Gu Xiao is the little boy with a blue skull tattoo on his neck.

Old Yu tut: "It's okay to be a roommate, but let's say it first. I'm straightforward, and I don't want to be a boy."

Xia Wei smiled and shrugged: "Being **** is one of the three illusions of straight men in life. I don't eat the uncle type, so don't worry."

Old Yu laughed, secretly glanced at Ye Chang next to Chi Nan, and thought to himself, indeed, there is a big gap between himself and him.

"So, except for the mother and daughter, and the boy, this copy is an old dreamer who has at least one book." Lao Yu sighed, this is not a good thing to be happy about.

The more old dream visitors gather, it means that the difficulty of the copy will be relatively higher.

The little girl raised her face: "Uncle, I am not a newcomer, only my mother is."

Everyone was taken aback. Looking back, it was indeed only the young mother who raised her hand just now, but everyone subconsciously felt that she represented the mother and daughter.

Old Yu gave a wow, and gave the little girl a thumbs up: "Awesome."

The little girl smiled generously: "Thank you for the compliment, you can call me Ruirui."

Finally, Lao Yu and Xia Wei live in 103, mother and daughter live in 105, Gu Xiao and another long-haired boy live in 107, two girls who do not speak but smoke live in 109, Chi Nan and Ye Chang continue to be roommates , Live at 101.

After the room was divided, the female worker reminded it again with a non-essential voice: "Once a roommate is selected, you must not change it without authorization for any reason, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

"Volunteers work from 9 am to 4 pm every day. Breakfast will be served after 7 am. You can rest after you check in tonight."

"Remember, there will be a roll call at 9 o'clock every morning, and don't be late." She finally urged everyone seriously.

It was past three o'clock in the morning, and they had to assemble at nine o'clock the next day. After the female workers left, the dreamers would go back to their rooms to rest.

Maintaining enough energy in the nightmare dungeon is very important for maintaining the stability of the mental value.

The dormitory is a long row of white-painted bungalows, with doors that were also painted white facing the courtyard. The cool tone is more like the inpatient department of a mental hospital than the staff dormitory.

Five of the ten rooms were locked, and one of the dormitories provided for volunteers was staggered.

There is also a stone wall protruding from room to room, as if it was deliberately used to cover something.

The most weird thing about the dormitory building is the design of the window positions. Each room has two windows, one on the left and the other high open close to the eaves, like a pair of black hole eyes looking down at the residents in the house...

Before entering the room, it makes people feel uncomfortable being stared at.

After entering the room, Chi Nan found that there were no curtains on the windows, and the light coming in from the courtyard fell on the two beds on the left and right of the room without reservation.

It feels as if they are actors on stage. When the spotlight is on, the details of their lives will be exposed to the audience.

Chi Nan took off his shoes and stood at the end of the bed, standing on tiptoes to look at the windowsill.

The window sills that are usually out of reach are almost spotless, and it seems that they are often cleaned and used.

A candlestick extends from the edge of the window. There is still a lot of residual wax on the candlestick, which should have been used not long ago.

Chi Nan used his nails to dig out a small piece of wax. The wax was a weird amber, and the wax was mixed with strands of red, just like sardonyx.

Chi Nan squeezed it with his fingers, and the touch was no different from ordinary wax, but the feeling of wax remaining on the skin was not good. Chi Nan put the residual wax back in place and thoroughly washed his hands in the bathroom.

"Brother Nan, do you want some pudding?" Ye Chang's huge backpack is always filled with many good things that surprise people.

Chi Nan is now a little brazen in front of Ye Chang: "Eat."

Said that he could not wait to open the pudding package, spoon after spoonful of tender and sweet pudding delivered to his mouth, tears rolled down and didn't bother to wipe it.

The corners of Ye Chang's lips floated and smiled, pulling a bottle of beer at room temperature, grunting and admiring Chi Nan's tears of wine.

"Don't you like the type of boy just now?" Chi Nan asked suddenly, raising a wet face after eating most of the pudding.

"Huh?" Ye Chang's drinking action paused, "Which type?"

Chi Nan thought for a while. It was hard for him to remember the names of strangers, and he was not good at describing people's looks, so he pointed to his ears: "A lot of earrings."

Ye Chang smiled and shook his head: "I don't like ear studs, but I like cosmetic contact lenses."

Chi Nan: "..." He blinked his eyes accidentally, and tears rolled down again.

"Just kidding." Ye Chang seemed a little happily proud, and took another sip of wine.

After eating the pudding, Chi Nan went to the bathroom to wash away the tears on his face. It seemed that someone's footsteps approached in the sound of splashing water.

And he recognized that it was Ye Chang's voice.

"Thank you, please help me get a face towel."

Chi Nan closed his eyes and stretched out his hand in the direction of the footsteps, but he waited for a moment, but didn't wait until Ye Chang handed over the towel.

Chi Nan felt a little bitter in his heart, turned off the rustling faucet, and the bathroom immediately became very quiet, with nothing but the sound of his breathing.

He was still for three seconds before he wiped the water droplets off his face with his hands and opened his eyes.

The sink was facing a mirror, and through the mirror, there was no one behind him.

The sound of footsteps just now...

Chi Nan turned his head and saw a dark shadow on the ground. It was the light from the living room shining obliquely, casting Ye Chang's shadow onto the bathroom.

He stared at the shadow for half a second, picked up the face towel hung on the other side, and walked out of the bathroom as he wiped it.

At this moment, Ye Chang was wearing earplugs, leaning on his desk and immersed in his exercise book.

From his perspective, the shadow can indeed just pass through the bathroom door, reflected on the white tiles behind the vanity.

"What's the matter?" Ye Chang noticed Chi Nan's gaze, took off the headphones, and raised a pair of eyes that were a little tired from studying.

Chi Nan continued to wipe his face: "It's okay, I thought you came to the bathroom just now."

Ye Chang frowned: "No, I have been doing homework."

Chi Nan nodded: "It may be windy."

He glanced at the shadow of Ye Chang subconsciously again, thinking that he might be suspicious, and then he retracted his gaze and rolled to bed to sleep.

"Brother Nan, it's so bright outside, it will affect your sleep..."

Ye Chang didn't finish a word, turned his head and found that Chi Nan was breathing evenly while lying on the pillow.

He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and took off his glasses, and looked at the shadow behind him coldly.

In that instant, Ye Chang frowned in trouble when he took off his glasses.

The ease on his face disappeared.

Nothing seemed to happen on the first night. When Lao Yu saw ten dream visitors in the cafeteria all coming to pick up breakfast, he secretly relieved.

After all, in many nightmare books, the first night is the most dangerous time to test the death rule.

"Is there something wrong last night?"

Everyone gathered around the canteen for breakfast, always collecting clues.

Everyone, look at me and I will look at you. It seems that last night was nothing special except for a little lack of sleep due to the effects of light.

"There are voices in our room, about half past four." The little girl named Ruirui broke the steamed bun in her hand and said calmly.

The young mother sitting next to her turned pale with fright: "Ah... why didn't you tell me last night?"

Rui Rui shrugged: "I'm afraid you will be scared, which will affect your sobriety."

"Can you tell where the sound is coming from?" Lao Yu continued to ask.

Rui Rui nodded: "Under the bed."

After a pause, she said again: "Mother's bed."

After finishing speaking, she gave her a scrupulous look and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, mom, I'll be with you."

At this time, her mother was so frightened that she put down her chopsticks and lost her appetite.

Chi Nan asked: "Can you hear what you are saying?"

Rui Rui shook her head: "I can't hear her clearly, she's still talking very fast, and she seems to laugh occasionally."

The young mother smiled stiffly with a gray face: "It may be that I was talking in sleep at night, and this child misheard."

She herself didn't believe this very much, saying it was just pretending to comfort herself.

Ruirui didn't pick up the stubble.

In the world of nightmares, there is no need for useless ‘gentleness’. Old Yu corrects and says: “It may be an important clue, don’t ignore it.”

After that, Chi Nan also talked about the sound of footsteps when he was washing his face. Although there were no casualties and terrorist incidents last night, everyone suddenly felt a little frustrated in their hearts.

After breakfast, everyone went to the candle making workshop under the guidance of the female workers.

A female worker with neat hair **** high, her face smeared with weird **** powder, and slightly sunken eyes appeared in the center of the factory.

"Welcome all volunteers to come from afar. The success of Candleman's Day will be inseparable from your hard work and dedication. Your arrival is an honor for the residents of Candleman Town."

"There are still five days before the Candleman's Day. During this period, I will lead you to cooperate with the candle factory female workers in the candle making and other preparations for the Candleman's Day. Thank you volunteers."

"The working hours of our volunteers are from 9 am to 4 pm, and we will call on time at 9 am every day. I don't like volunteers who are late, so please be sure not to be late, let alone absent. After 4 pm, you can Visit various scenic spots in Zhuren Town."

The female foreman showed a creepy, stiff smile that all dream visitors can’t understand, “Of course, volunteers who complete the candle making every day as required will be rated as “Excellent Volunteers” and receive special awards for Candleman’s Day. Honors and awards. "

Having said that, the female worker's sharp gaze swept toward the crowd, seemingly satisfied with the sudden brilliance in their eyes.

Experienced dream visitors immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. The production of Candleman is likely to be one of the important plot points in this nightmare book.

"But there is one thing I need to remind you." The female foreman put a smile away, and the sight of everyone was a little more warning. "Before Candleman's Day is successfully held, all volunteers must stay in the small town, not in advance. Leave."

"Then what if we go out on purpose or accidentally? What happens?"

The short-haired girl in a men's shirt who has been smoking but not talking, suddenly asked.

The female foreman’s face painted with turmeric powder seemed to move, and her voice became hoarse and cold: "We hate volunteers who don’t keep their promises, so..."

She cracked and laughed again. "Before Candleman's Day, there was no exit for volunteers in the town."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly silenced, and unknowingly climbed onto their backs in cold sweat.

"If there is no doubt, we can start today's Candleman production."

The female foreman distributed the white wax block, tools for carving molds and a mirror to the volunteers. Chi Nan also made a special confirmation that this was just a normal wax block, which was different from the residual wax he saw on the windowsill last night.

And what does this mirror mean?

"Ask, can we use the engraving mold at will?" Rui Rui raised her hand to the female foreman.

The female foreman raised the mirror in her hand: "I hope that all volunteers will use their faces as prototypes to carve out their own candle holders."

With that, she looked at the mirrored herself, and also showed a weird smile.

Everyone fell into horrible silence, and they carved their faces into the mold in the mirror, and then turned them into white evil candle men. How can it be heard that it is not right...

Chi Nan was also silent. His silence was different from that of others. The tasks assigned by the female foreman reminded him of the fear of being dominated by the manual class. He was once blind and hated manual work very much.

"Today's candle production will be based on the group, and the grouping will be based on the distribution of the dormitory yesterday, and the people in the same dormitory will be a group," the female foreman added to the rules.

The long-haired boy who has been silent all the time suddenly raised his hand: "Well, what are the specific criteria for judging "excellent volunteers"? "

He is a pure rookie, and his eager look makes the scrupulous sleepwalkers a little surprised.

The female foreman pointed to his eyes: "The more similar the candlestick you made, the higher the score we gave. Because it is based on the group, the average score is used in the end."

"The rewards for the excellent volunteer group will be very generous and will surely satisfy everyone," the female foreman also pointed out the key points. "Relatively, if the group of volunteers is passively sabotaged, there will be corresponding penalties."

Her encouragement and intimidation were obviously effective. As soon as her voice fell, everyone's imagination was in an uproar.

Everyone naturally categorizes punishment as buckling favors or triggering death rules.

No wonder the female worker who led them in last night said that roommates are important... Isn’t that important? A good choice is to report thick thighs.

Xia Wei, who was sitting next to him at the moment, said: "That boy seems to be learning to paint. He has a natural aesthetic foundation and painting skills, which is one step higher than us."

As he said, he muttered again, "I knew that I was going to be with him, and I could get a good impression, and I could die later."

Lao Yu: "...Who knows whether the reward is a surprise or a fright?"

Rui Rui raised her hand again: "I have another question. If you make a candle, you have to have a candle wick? But it is not included in the materials that are in our hands."

The female foreman smiled slightly towards the little girl and said: "Candle wick is a very important thing for candles, just like people cannot live without a heart. The candle wick is the heart of the candle. Naturally such an important thing must be obtained from you. Get it on your body."

Then she pointed to the back of her head: "Your hair will serve as the wick for your candle holders."

Lao Yu rolled his eyes: "Damn, this is too unlucky, shouldn't it turn us into these candles?"

Xia Wei: "Yes, there is no way, there will be punishment for not doing it, do you hear it? Take a step and look at it."

Chi Nan glanced at everyone present, and nodded in conclusion: "No wonder, this nightmare is not bald."

Ye Chang couldn't help but smile.

Smiling, his eyes moved to the mirror unconsciously, and the two eyes collided through the mirror.

"Or, let's do it in exchange." Ye Chang suggested.
