After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

You can see a little outside from the closet door, but because it's too dark, Chi Nan can't see who the person is.

They were holding their breaths across the thin closet doors, but Chi Nan could even hear each other’s heartbeat faster and faster because of nervousness. If you are so careful, it’s definitely not the hostess and the maid, the only one. The possibility will only be--

"Who...? Is anyone in the closet?" It was Tang Yu's trembling voice, as Chi Nan expected.

Chi Nan relaxed his shoulder against the cabinet wall: "It's me."

"Chi Nan?!" Tang Yu exclaimed incredulously, "But... how did you get into the closet... and you were locked?"

Surprised to surprise, Tang Yu did not forget to help Chi Nan open the lock on the cabinet.

At the moment the door lock fell off, the two of them received the system prompt at the same time——

[Congratulations to the two classmates for unlocking the important role in the story. Favorability is +20. Now they have accumulated 50 favorability points. ]

Tang Yu looked confused: "What's the matter? Where are the important roles?"

Chi Nan quickly jumped out of the closet and briefly talked to Tang Yu about a series of weird events that occurred after the lights in the living room were turned off.

Tang Yu's scalp numb when he heard it: "If I had encountered this kind of thing, I would be scared on the spot, maybe I can't follow to dig for clues..."

"Why do you think about coming to this room?" Chi Nan found out after coming out of the cabinet that the room he was in now was the miscellaneous room locked by the hostess.

Tang Yu: "My room is next to this room, and I hear the laughter of children all the time at night. I think that Chen's mother specifically told us today that the hostess hates children and all the tenants in this apartment If you get pregnant without raising a child, you can’t have a kid laughing, it’s still in the middle of the night..."

"Then I listened carefully for a while and found that the laughter came from this room. I just knew a little bit more..." Tang Yu pursed his lips as he said, and showed Chi Nan his self-made iron wire prop." I went to the living room to find you and was not there, so I bit my head and came in without permission to find clues."

This reminded Chi Nan of another friend who was good at unlocking black tea.

Tang Yu continued: "I heard noises in the cabinet after I came in. To be honest, I was taken aback, but there is no way back here..."

"Before the hostess found out, we hurriedly looked for clues in the house." Chi Nan suggested that although they did not have equipment that could be used for local lighting, they did not dare to turn on the lights, but fortunately there was a hanging outside the window of this room. Round the moon, the shining moonlight illuminates the things in the house clearly.

There are a lot of debris in the room, so many that they can't even settle down. In order to prevent dust from falling, the debris is covered with a layer of white cloth.

Chi Nan and the others lifted the white cloth and found that most of the debris were children's toys with a sense of age, such as old small basketball hoops, building block cars, dinosaur models... The most incredible thing is that some of these boys' toys are in pairs. They are in pairs, no matter the type or shape, and some parts are only a single copy.

For example, piggy bank, diving goggles, and spectacles all appear in pairs, while Trojan horse toys, small bicycles, skateboards, and diving suits are only a single piece.

They found a small wooden box with four glass beads in it, two cold and faint green, and two pure black like obsidian. Chi Nan held the four glass beads in his hand and suddenly thought of something.

It was a coincidence that the hostess was afraid of green-eyed creatures.

Tang Yu wondered: "Who would buy two identical toys for a child?"

Chi Nan was silent for a moment: "My character is likely to have a twin brother."

Based on seeing the exact same "self" in the mirror before, Chi Nan can only assume that the role played by 229 is his twin brother.

And he guessed that their performance class task was to find his fascinating younger brother, and fill his favorability with all kinds of evil tastes.

Tang Yu nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "It is true that many families will buy the same items for twins. If so, why are some of them..."

He thought for a while, as if he could not sum up the doubts in his heart, he only shook his head: "The twins' statement can indeed explain, then we will look for you as a'brother' next."

Chi Nan nodded in agreement, like a story designed by 229.

The two quickly re-covered the black cloth and restored the room to its original form, but just after they had finished cleaning, before they had time to straighten their waists, the hostess outside the door stepped on high heels with the sound of'dongdongdong' footsteps approaching a little bit room.

The sound of high heels stopped at the door in a blink of an eye: "Who is inside?"

Chi Nan and Tang Yu stopped their movements immediately, their breathing froze, they quickly communicated with their eyes, and quickly determined their next move.

The two stood on tiptoe and quickly re-locked the cabinet while the hostess was looking for the key to open the door. Chi Nan picked the corner farthest from the closet, arched and huddled with the old things to avoid the hostess's sight.

They had just covered themselves with a white cloth, and there was a ‘pop’ after the creaking of the door.

"Nannan, did you come in?" The hostess voice was gentle and patient, but the deboning blade in her hand shone cold under the light, and the sharpness made her scalp tingling, "This is not the place you should come," It’s a punishment room for bad boys."

She looked around with an eviscer in her hand, Tang Yu froze and held her breath, secretly praying in her heart that this terrible woman would not find them.

Facts proved that Chi Nan’s idea was correct. The hostess took the knife and went straight to the closet. Her gaze was from top to bottom, and finally stayed on the iron lock that Tang Yu had touched. The chill in her eyes gradually grew: "Yes. Didn't the bad boy ran out? It won't work... it won't work..."

The hostess took out the key and gestured to unlock the iron lock, but it was a coincidence that the pair of dolls placed above Chi Nan suddenly fell from a height. During the fall, the doll’s neck broke, and the round head was rumbling. At the feet of the hostess.

"Nan Nan, are you alone? What are you doing there?" The hostess turned around and walked towards Chi Nan and the others with the knife. , You are about to be punished."

The hostess's footsteps were getting closer, and Tang Yu was trembling all over, to prevent himself from screaming, he tightly covered his mouth with his hands.

"3, 2..." As the hostess had a number, she knocked on the wall next to her with the boning knife in her hand, making a creaking sound that made her scalp tingling.

Chi Nan saw the shadow cast by the hostess on the ground from the gap in the white cloth, extending to their feet like a ghost.

He thought for a moment, and made a gesture of'shhh' to Tang Yu. Just about to stand up and come forward, another'patter, patter' footsteps suddenly came from the dark living room, as well as the one who led Chi Nan to the elevator before. Exactly the same.

The hostess stopped her movements, her attention was quickly attracted by the sound of footsteps: "Who, who is there?!"

She raised the boning knife to her chest in panic, gave up opening the cabinet and turned and walked towards the living room, "Is that you?...Have you come out? Who allowed you to come out without permission! You bad boy...!"

"Bad boy... Devil...!" Although she gritted her teeth and said threatening words, her voice trembled with fear.

It was as if the owner of this footstep was the most terrifying existence, she tried to bluff to repel it, but was frightened by the overwhelming terror that made her legs weak.

Soon, the insane hostess finally gave up the struggle and ran out of the house carrying the knife in panic. She even forgot to close the door of the room, rushed into her room, and locked the door completely and closed herself completely. stand up.

"Can't be found by him... Can't let him find me..." The hostess's muttering voice gradually lowered, and finally turned into regular snoring.

The two people hiding in the pile of debris did not dare to delay for a moment, and they breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time when they came out of the room lightly.

"It turns out that the hostess has sleepwalking. It's great. After she woke up, she shouldn't remember what happened at night." Tang Yu wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and was frightened. She cut off the host's head."

Chi Nan looked at the electric fan directly above the living room. I don't know when, the fan blades just smashed down and returned to the original position in a good manner. He huffed and huffed in the humid and sultry night.

Early the next morning, the maid prepared a sumptuous breakfast: "Master, Miss Tang, I have already prepared it early and can enjoy it at any time in the restaurant."

"Where is the madam?" Tang Yu noticed that the hostess had never come out of the room in the morning.

The maid replied stiffly: "Madam explained that she is unwell and wants to take a little more rest. Master and Miss Tang don't have to wait for her."

"I see, thank you." Chi Nan saw that there was nothing suspicious about the snacks at the table, so he sat down and ate slowly.

Tang Yu looked at him feeling relieved and moved his chopsticks: "Chi Nan, what plans do you have later?"

Chi Nan thought for a while, turned his head and asked the maid: "Mum Chen, can we move around freely during the day?"

The maid stared at him intently: "What the young master is talking about, this apartment is the young master's house, so naturally the young master can go wherever he wants."

After a pause, he added, "As long as you don't leave 229, Gongcheng is very chaotic now, and it is easy to encounter danger when you go out."

Chi Nan nodded and asked, "Where can I take pictures in this building?"

The maid's expression finally changed a little, and the eyes looking at Chi Nan were full of doubts: "Why did the young master suddenly want to take pictures?"

Tang Yu was astute, and immediately replied with a gentle smile: "I pestered Chi Nan and said that I wanted to take a group photo at his hometown and keep it as a souvenir."

"That's it, I also said, Young Master obviously doesn't like taking pictures the most..." the maid muttered to herself.

Chi Nan and Tang Yu looked at each other. It turned out that the hostess said that the young master didn't like taking pictures when he was a child and it was not just a perfunctory lie.

Although Tang Yu didn't know Chi Nan's plan, he did his best to cooperate. He pretended to be sorry and smiled: "I have the habit of taking pictures everywhere, Chi Nan is also to satisfy me."

"It seems that the young master really loves Miss Tang," the maid smiled blessedly at Tang Yu, "The lady boss of the women's clothing store on the first floor likes to take pictures of people, you can go and try her."

"Thank you so much!" Tang Yu smiled like a little girl who got her wish, her vivid expression can definitely fool anyone.

After breakfast, the two went directly to the women's clothing store on the first floor.

The two owners of the women's clothing store are the two cohabiting ladies on the second floor of the apartment. One of the curly-haired young ladies put out the cigarette in her hand and smiled friendly to them: "We have a lot of new fashionable dresses in our store. , Very suitable for Miss Tang, do you need my help to recommend it?"

Tang Yu is best at dressing apart from studying. At this moment, he smiles modestly: "If you can, it couldn't be better."

So Tang Yu and the curly-haired lady shuttled between the dazzling shelves to choose clothes, Chi Nanan sat quietly on the sofa of the clothing store, really like a boring gentleman waiting for his girlfriend to shop.

He recalled the other green-eyed ‘self’ in the mirror. What does the mirror want to express to him? What did the hostess do to the host in the mirror, so scared that she didn't dare to look directly at the green-eyed creature?

The hostess is definitely not a positive role. Chi Nan found that in 229's nightmare, the role of mother is always creepy.

Thinking of this, a ridiculous thought flashed in Chi Nan's mind, but before he could catch it, Tang Yu's voice shattered his thinking.

"Chi Nan, we have chosen." Tang Yu held several wrapped clothes and blinked at him.

Chi Nan understood, Tang Yu turned to the female boss, "Sister Tao, can you please take a picture of my boyfriend and me? You don't have to go far, just stay in the store."

"Small things," Sister Tao was refreshed and didn't talk too much, she took out a Polaroid from the storage room, smiled and looked at the place where the bouquet was placed in the store, "I think this is a good background, you see. is it okay?"

"Yes, thank you Sister Tao!" Tang Yu's mouth was sweet when he was not shy.

During the whole process, Chi Nan only coordinated to stand beside Tang Yu, looking at the camera with his wooden face, and only slightly relaxed his facial muscles with the sound of pressing the shutter.

Almost the moment the photo came out, the voice of the female teacher in the system sounded——

[Congratulations to the two classmates for completing the important review story line, with a degree of liking +5, and now a total of 55 liking points. ]

Soon, Sister Tao handed the taken photos to Tang Yu, "Is it satisfied with you? I'll help you take them if you are not satisfied."

Tang Yu in the photo is very beautiful. He nodded: "Thank you so much, Sister Tao, I like it very much."

Sister Tao smiled: "Don't be so polite, I would like to invite you to be my models in the store if I have a chance in the future."

Chi Nan walked to the window, held up the photo and looked at the sun for a moment. Tang Yu asked him only now, "Can you tell me why you suddenly wanted to take a photo?"

"I'm just a little curious, what would happen if I took a picture." Judging from yesterday's album, the picture may reveal the existence of clues.

Tang Yu nodded thoughtfully: "When you say this, I remember that the photos in ghost stories are an important way to find the undead, and many things that living people can't see will be captured by the lens."

"But..." Following Chi Nan's movements, he raised his head to look at the newly taken group photo, "It seems that nothing can be seen in this photo..."

As soon as his voice fell, an old voice was caught off guard behind him——

"Can I look at the photos for you?"

Chi Nan turned her head and saw an old woman sitting in a wheelchair. Her eyes were pale gray, like two chaotic glass beads inlaid on her face. Behind the old woman was a well-dressed butler-like man. Very gentlemanly bowed slightly to the two of them.

"Excuse me, is this...?"

Sister Tao and the old lady are very familiar: "This is Mrs. Grace who lives on the third floor of our apartment."

The old lady said slowly but clearly: "Although my eyes are almost out of sight of this world, blindness has advantages and disadvantages. It protects me from the interference of the world and can see the other world more clearly."

After a pause, she smiled very kindly, "If you two don't mind, I can show you what is in the photo."

"Thank you," Chi Nan politely handed the photo to the old lady. "Please help us to see, how many people are there in the photo?"

His words are enough to make the room cool.

The old lady's old fingers flicked across the photo. When her fingertips stopped on Chi Nan's left shoulder in the photo, the wrinkles on her face began to tighten and tremble, and her dignified expression was instantly replaced by incredible.

She trembled and said, "There are two people standing in the photo, but I can feel three souls."

Tang Yu shivered, but Chi Nan remained silent: "Can the extra soul stay with me? Can you tell me his identity?"

Although Chi Nan had already guessed, he still wanted to confirm.

The old lady slowly raised her finger and pointed at the left side of Chi Nan's shoulder: "He is here with you."

Tang Yu was taken aback by her actions, and said in a low voice, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Tang Yu had watched a famous ghost movie before, and the evil spirits in it liked to ride on the shoulders of the protagonist, and even made the protagonist think that the cervical spondylosis was burned. That's why he had such a guess.

The old lady shook her head firmly, still pointing to Chi Nan's shoulder: "No, he grew up here."

Tang Yu was stunned: "What do you mean...?"

The old lady looked at Chi Nan with eyes like gray glass beads: "This soul was born and grew up with you. He is a part of your body."
