After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Chapter 41: Candleman's Day (11)

Lao Yu immediately sounded the alarm in his heart, and he quickly sat up from the bed and walked to the door. Because it was too quiet, he could hear the faint footsteps in the corridor against the door panel.

Only one person’s footsteps...

Yu is always fighting fiercely with himself in his heart, judging by his experience and intuition that if he is left alone, Xia Wei will definitely die now, but if he is strong, what is waiting for him outside the door is an unpredictable risk...

To save or not to save, everyone is in danger in the nightmare world, no matter what choice he makes, no one will blame him, everything is up to him.

While he was struggling to weigh, several exclamations came from the corridor.

It's Xia Wei's voice!

"Who are you... Don't, don't come, don't come near me--"

Lao Yu's motion of twisting the doorknob stopped, and he saw a stronger light from the gap in the door than before.

There was a jump in his heart, this was...the light of a human candle.

Under the control of the desire to survive, Lao Yu stopped his movements and dodged to avoid being touched by candlelight.

He thinks that the most sensible and correct way now is to silently pray for his unlucky roommate.

But just when he thought that Xia Wei was bound to die, there was a louder noise in the corridor. The door of next door 101 seemed to be pushed open, followed by the messy and swift footsteps. Xia Wei panicked and screamed still— —

"Turn it out, quickly put out the candle! I don't want to become a candle!"

"Stay away from me... I'm not sure you guys now..."

The light in the corridor gradually dimmed.

101 lives in Chi Nan and Ye Chang. If the door had been opened just now... I would always put my ear to the door again to listen to the movement in the corridor.

To be honest, Lao Yu was relieved to hear that Xia Wei could still speak, and it was not easy for him to live.

"Who the **** are you? Why just now..."

"We didn't want to hurt you, it should be my shadow that moved his hands and feet just now." It was Ye Chang's voice.

"It's you...no, not you...it seems like Chi Nan...the one who wants to make me a candle..." Xia Wei's voice became lower and lower, replaced by intermittent sobbing, "What, what's going on...My hand …I don’t feel it..."

Lao Yu confirmed that the light had disappeared from the crack of the door, and then opened the door with confidence: "What's the matter?"

He turned on the flashlight he carried with him, and the cold white light that was different from the candle illuminates the three people in the corridor. When he saw Xia Wei's current situation clearly, he always took a breath-

Xia Wei sat on the ground, trembling with his head against the wall, and his left hand resting on the ground was gone... to be precise, it became a piece of waxy yellow with red impurities in it...

Chi Nan and Ye Chang stood beside Xia Wei, feeling a little at a loss when facing the vigilant and hostile Xia Wei.

"What the **** is going on?" Lao Yu walked out of the dormitory after making sure that there was no risk, and checked Xia Wei's situation more closely.

Xia Wei's arm has become the "special and precious" wax block shown by the female foreman, while his heartbeat and pulse are still there, and the temperature and touch of other parts of the body are also normal. This was half-waxed and forced to stop. Phenomenon…

"I was deceived and almost turned into a human candle..."

Xia Wei held her waxed arm and couldn't care about the boy's face, sobbing and crying.

Lao Yu squatted down and directly touched his waxed part with his hand.

The touch is very strange, it has the smoothness of a candle, but because it has just been waxed, the temperature of human skin still remains on the human wax...

Lao Yu quickly withdrew his hand: "Who was the one who lied to you, have you seen it clearly?"

Xia Wei nodded and shook his head: "The voice is Ye Chang's voice, but I caught a glimpse of his front face... It looks like... Chi Nan's appearance..."

"What? Ye Chang's voice, Chi Nan's face?" Old Yu didn't understand the silly words, and confirmed it again.

Xia Wei whimpered and said, "I don't know... I am also very confused... but this is indeed the case just now... The two of them seem to fit together!"

Chi Nan glanced at Ye Chang, and Ye Chang happened to look over, so Chi Nan saw himself in his lens.

He thought that the appearance of his body was not like Ye Chang.

Old Yu was helpless and speechless: "Did you fall asleep..."

Xia Wei cried and cried without speaking.

"It should be the shadow that attacked Xia Wei." Chi Nan said.

Lao Yu looked at Ye Chang with complicated eyes, his lips pressed into a straight line, as if he didn't intend to explain anything.

So Chi Nan helped him explain: "Ye Chang and I were dealing with people in the room. Hearing the movement in the corridor, we came out and saw a figure holding Xia Wei."

Old Yu keenly looked over, "Is it the missing shadow of Ye Chang?"

"Well," Ye Chang replied, "I can still recognize my shadow. It should be because it can't move me, so he moved his hand on Xia Wei."

His words can be regarded as denying the witness Xia Wei's testimony-the shadow that attacked him, with Ye Chang's voice and Chi Nan's face.

It's better not to make people believe this kind of thing, it is very troublesome to wipe the **** of the shadow.

Fortunately, Chi Nan didn’t take Xia Wei’s silly remarks seriously. He only secretly combed and speculated that after the dream tourist’s shadow was completely alienated, if it achieved the'achievement' of waxing the body, it would be like a relief. It appeared on the ghost shadow wall to eat the candlelight offered by the locals, and the shadows of Gu Xiao and Bai Chuan confirmed this.

But if the body smoothly extinguishes the human candle before being waxed, then his alienated shadow will rebel and even attack other people's bodies to create more human wax.

In other words, Ye Chang's shadow lurking in the dark has become one of their biggest threats.

Chi Nan hesitated for a moment and didn't tell his guess, but he was as experienced and observant as old Yu, and he also guessed this set of rules almost at the same time. He looked at Chi Nan, "What do you think should be done?"

Chi Nan didn't speak, but Ye Chang took the initiative to say: "To deal with uncontrolled shadows, there are only two ways I can think of now."

He paused, seeming to be making some determination. Finally, he looked at Chi Nankai’s mouth, “The first method is to let it completely wax me. According to the experience of Bai Chuan and Gu Xiao, it can be guessed that after the body waxed The shadow should be sealed in the ghost shadow wall, so it can't kill people at will."

"Another way is that the existence of the shadow needs to depend on the ontology. If the ontology dies... the shadow may not be established either."

The air instantly solidified. Under the cold white light, Ye Chang's eyes were hidden behind the lenses, and his expression became blurred.

Old Yu Weiwei raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you are willing to die by yourself so as to inhibit the shadow's activities?"

Ye Chang nodded firmly: "If it can be stopped."

Old Yu was silent for a moment: "The truth does make sense, if you volunteer..."

"It's not the time yet," Chi Nan interrupted Lao Yu. "In order to prevent more victims from appearing, you can hand it over to Ye Chang when you encounter things that will kill people later."

After a pause, he added: "After all, there is still a possibility that extinguishing the candle will cause the shadow to be taken away, so that more victims will appear."

"What about Ye Chang's shadow?" Lao Yu asked rhetorically.

Chi Nan was silent for a moment before speaking, "Be more cautious about him and things related to him."

"What about yourself? You live in a house with him, which is more dangerous than any of us." Lao Yu asked Chi Nan again.

Chi Nan shook his head: "This is good. I stare at him, and I can deal with any situation in time."

Speaking, Chi Nan glanced at Ye Chang, and the moment the two of them collided with each other, he even felt that Ye Chang was smiling at him.

But he felt that he had read it wrong. In this case, even if nothing changed like Ye Chang, he should not be able to laugh.

"Thank you, Brother Nan." Ye Chang said to him.

At that time, the two girls of 109 were finally alarmed, and the young mother of 105 also opened the door. Old Yu gave them a complicated expression. It was certain that the three ladies had listened to their conversation. The head is only exposed to danger.

Dysonson asked Xia Wei in confusion: "I remember everyone locked the door before going to bed. How did Ye Chang's shadow get into your house? Without light, the shadow should not be able to act without permission. How did it take you? To the hallway?"

Xia Wei's face changed slightly and did not speak, Wu Ying continued: "We just want to figure out how the shadow does this, so that we can also have some precautions."

The corners of Xia Wei's lips twitched. He never intended to make a face: "What else? Brother Ye's voice appeared outside my room in the middle of the night, inviting me to sleep. Can I refuse?"

Everyone: "..."

They all looked at Chi Nan subconsciously, and Chi Nan stood blankly, not knowing why it was Ye Chang, but everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Xia Wei shrugged and continued in a self-deprecating tone, "How did I know that it was a shadow? It's across the door, and I didn't expect the shadow to imitate the voice of the body. It's exactly the same, even the actions and behaviors...shadows Wearing clothes similar to a black trench coat, he was tightly wrapped, but he didn't cover his face. When he turned around... I saw it as Chi Nan."

"It's probably because the light is too dim, I'm dazzled." Xia Wei wiped his eyes with the only remaining hand, tearing gracefully and sadly.

Ye Chang glanced at everyone secretly, but fortunately everyone believed in Xia Wei's dazzling rhetoric.

Chi Nan looked towards the ground in silence. He noticed that at this moment Xia Wei's shadow on the ground was incomplete, missing an arm.

In other words...Will the shadow of the waxed body part disappear with it?

Old Yu Tucao Xia Wei: "The **** world is almost gone, why do you still have the heart to sleep?"

Xia Wei: "...I'm so shameless just thinking about death and tomorrow I don't know who will come first." He held his waxed arm, crying and crying, "Who expected the shadow to evolve? The ability to imitate voice movements..."

This is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

The young mother, who has not spoken all the time, suddenly spoke with a calm voice: "From now on, everyone must lock the doors and windows. Do not trust the voice of your peers. No matter how close you are, these alienated shadows will imitate and act. He has a certain ability to think."

Everyone looked at her in amazement. This mother was too deep and unfathomable. She made a fuss like a newcomer before, but now she was calm and keen as an experienced dreamer.

Lao Yu glanced at her, didn't ask anything more, and added: "Also pay attention to shielding the light source."

Ye Chang: "And the shadow should be the one that best understands the body's behavior and the way of speaking... Brother Nan, you must be careful with me."

He looked at Chi Nan, and Chi Nan only slightly corrected him, "Well, I will be careful of your shadow."

That night, the shadow of Ye Chang was tossing everyone up. After the panic, Xia Wei stopped crying and started nagging. If he had his life to go out, he would learn a handicapped craft to live his life. I want to comfort him a few words, seeing that he saves time.

The remaining people went back to their dormitories to confirm that there were no abnormalities in the room, and they all strictly locked the doors and windows, and covered the windowpanes with quilts and towels to prevent light from entering the room.

In total darkness, shadows cannot exist, and they can relax a little.

After returning to the house, Chi Nan looked thoughtful, and Ye Chang asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Chi Nan tilted his head unconsciously: "Thinking about what happened to that mother."

Ye Chang also thought about it with him, and said: "I guess it should be after Rui Rui passed away, she came to the nightmare world to do a task in order to resurrect her daughter, but after fulfilling her wish, there was a problem with her memory during this period of time..."

His expression became focused, "Maybe she also has an additional wish, such as... forget the desperate days of losing Ruirui, erase the painful memories, etc. Generally people who have experienced painful experiences have this tendency to choose. In this way, the disappearance of her memory after the resurrection of Ruirui also makes sense. As a resurrected product, Ruirui automatically inherited the experience and ability of her mother during this time in order to protect her mother who shielded her memory on her own."

Chi Nan: "So in Ruirui's setting, she is an old dream tourist who has passed countless books, and the mother who resurrected her is a newcomer who knows nothing?"

Ye Chang nodded: "But with Ruirui's disappearance, we forced our mother to remember the loss of her daughter. Whether she wants to or not, the memory is more or less part of the return, but there may be intermittent situations. , Just like a bad radio."

After hearing this, Chi Nan nodded in agreement, but did not speak. Ye Chang looked at him for a few seconds, then smiled and asked, "What's the matter? Does it feel unreasonable?"

Chi Nan shook his head: "I'm a little curious, how did you think of this."

Ye Chang stunned and smiled: "According to the rules that Brother Cha told me before, I guessed it randomly."

Chi Nan: "..."

"However, I have always been very accurate in the answers, trust me." Ye Chang said.

This is the fourth day that their group of volunteers came to Zhuren Town.

Two of the ten dream visitors were completely waxed, and one was waxed with a hand. Although he became disabled, his life was temporarily saved. The little girl named Ruirui has disappeared, and there has been no news, and her mother is now in a split state, half awake and half confused, which is unpredictable.

At dawn, Chi Nan could hardly afford to get up early, and washed well to go out with Ye Chang.

Ye Chang, who was old at seeing him behind him, held a sharp steel chisel, and said strangely: "...what are you going to do?"

"Make an experiment." Chi Nan said.

So I saw Chi Nan’s previous show operations, and suddenly became interested, put on his jacket and followed: "Where? Take me."

"Go and have a look at the Ghost Shadow Wall." Chi Nan said again.

Lao Yu is even stranger: "Why do you get a steel chisel to go to the ghost shadow wall?"

He had an incredible association, "You don't want to dig a wall."

"Well," Chi Nan nodded faintly, "I just don't know if the wall is strong."

Old Yu: "..."

Ye Chang: "It's okay. I can just exercise. The weather is good this morning."

Lao Yu: "...Fuck you, are you serious?"

Chi Nan: "Yeah."

Old Yu: "...good fellow."

Tucao go back to Tucao, Lao Yu still followed them to the ghost wall.

"Where are you going to start digging?" Old Yu asked.

Chi Nan: "Look for an extra hand first."

Hearing that, I knew it, Chi Nan was looking for the shadow of Xia Wei's waxed arm last night. Although I don't know Chi Nan's ultimate goal, he had a hunch that it would be a good decision.

But when he looked at the dark shadows criss-crossed on the ghost shadow wall, he got a headache... These ghost images overlapped with their limbs and torso. Can’t determine which hand is the new one...

Before I could say anything, I saw that Chi Nan asked Ye Chang to take another picture of the ghost wall panorama, then opened the phone album, and compared it with the picture taken two days ago, and played the scene. Version of "Look for the Difference"...

In less than five minutes, Chi Nan found an extra arm on the wall where the shadow overlapped: "Here, it should be Xia Wei's hand."

He pointed to the lower right corner of the ghost wall and said.

Ye Chang nodded, playing with the steel chisel very skillfully: "Brother Nan, lean aside, I'm afraid the gravel will splash on you later."
