After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

Hearing is filled with the flexible rhythm of slow rocking music, gradually awakening Chi Nan from deep sleep.

Even if I did not open my eyes, I could still feel the warm sunlight jumping on my face, the air was filled with the original smell of dry dust, and it was mixed with a little industrial smell of leather and gasoline.

The body jolted abruptly, and Chi Nan and the dream visitors in the car woke up completely.

Because the sunlight was too violent, everyone subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover their eyes, slowly adapting to the sudden exposure to the bright light environment from their fingers.

Chi Nan blinked his eyes a few times and confirmed that he was sitting on the right side of the back row of a seven-seater off-road vehicle by the window. In addition to him, there were four people in the vehicle, namely the driver who was driving and a man sitting in the second row. One woman, two passengers, and a young woman sitting in the back row with him, leaning against the left window.

Chi Nan felt familiar with the back of a woman with a big wave hairstyle on the left side of the second row.

All the passengers just woke up and started to observe the environment of this nightmare while adapting to the bright light.

The off-road vehicle is running on the deserted road at a speed of 60-80km per hour. The sun is so hot that it hurts the skin. The driver sings and sings in a happy mood, as if on a road trip.

Seemingly aware of the awakening of the passengers, the driver whistled happily: "Welcome to the 404 road trip."

The big wave in the second row from the left stretched out a big lazy waist, she subconsciously touched her hand in her pocket, and found a lighter and a pack of cigarettes.

She kindly lit the cigarette and handed it to the driver: "This car is EM00404"

Before entering the copy, everyone received a photo of the license plate with "EM00404" written on it.

"Thank you," the driver bit the cigarette. "Yes, I am the driver of this car. I will be responsible for driving for you in the next 4000 kilometers. I hope you can enjoy this road journey full of surprises. "

The number in the npc mouth of the copy is often an important information reminder. Chi Nan wrote down the information point of 4000 kilometers.

The driver continued: "Because this journey is special and time is relatively short, we can't get off the car and walk around the road at will. We can get off the car only when we arrive at the rest service station."

The big wave spit out smoke: "What if I want to go to the bathroom? Can't I stop the car too?"

Driver: "Trust me, you don't have to worry about going to the bathroom."

The big wave raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

The driver smiled: "You will know when the time comes."

Chi Nan seized the key question: "How much time do we have?"

The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror: "I can’t say that’s bad. The time on the road is naturally determined by our schedule and road conditions. Everything."

Big Wave: "Then why did you just say that time is pressing?"

The driver didn't intend to answer her question, so he whistled loudly and started humming again.

Big Wave: "..." seems to be a hidden information point.

She turned her head and handed the cigarette to the remaining three people, only the middle-aged man sitting on the right in the second row took it.

"It seems that there are only four of us in this nightmare, my name is Jiang Yu, and 404 is the sixth one," Da Wave introduced himself, turning to Chi Nan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to spend the book together again soon."

The blind-faced Chi Nan finally remembered now that this big wave was Jiang Yu in the "Twilight Cruise".

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously, then at Chi Nan, smiling very intimately: "You met before? In reality?"

Jiang Yu frankly spit out his cigarette: "No, I spent my life together."

The middle-aged man nodded and maintained a warm smile: "My name is Pei Mo, this is the second time I have paid."

The only man present besides him was Chi Nan, and he stretched out his hand towards Chi Nan.

"Sorry, I'm not used to having physical contact with people," Chi Nan politely declined Pei Mo's invitation to shake hands, and said simply, "My name is Chi Nan, the fifth Ben."

Pei Mo smiled and retracted his hand: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, I can understand..."

The young woman sitting in the back row with Chi Nan has been silent: "Lu Baizhou, the third Ben."

She also explained her situation simply and clearly, and she moved out of the car window with blinking eyes.

Jiang Yu glanced at Lu Baizhou in the lingering smoke, and suppressed the doubt in his eyes: "They are all experienced dream visitors, it is convenient, but it is also difficult."

Pei Mo nodded in agreement, and frowned: "It is difficult to have no newcomer. Now the rules given by the driver are very vague, and we don't know the specific purpose. Only the road trip information is really too little known. No clue..."

As he said that, he smiled very friendly again, "Fortunately, you are all elders who have gone through several books, so please give me your advice."

The remaining three people turned a deaf ear to his praise, and finally Jiang Yu bit his cigarette and said, "You have to rely on yourself, don't look forward to it."

Pei Mo's face solidified for a moment with embarrassment: "This is the truth..."

"This time, the closed environment is different from the traditional nightmare environment." Jiang Yu looked at the warm sunlight and the vast expanse of the window outside, and squinted his eyes slightly.

Chi Nan thought for a while and said, "I think it's similar to the previous "Twilight Cruises". They all move forward in closed vehicles and the destination is not clear. "

"In a closed vehicle..." Jiang Yu said with a smile for a moment of silence, "Let's find a round of clues in the car."

"Also on their own." Chi Nan added.

Compared with the previous villas, cruise ships, small towns and schools, a seven-seat off-road vehicle has a much smaller range. In less than five minutes, Chi Nan flipped through a cut-out old newspaper under the stool in the front seat.

Chi Nan picked up the old newspaper and showed it to everyone: "There is a missing person notice posted on it, which should be a useful clue."

"Name: Qu Yijun, age: 27 years old, was wearing a white dress and red high heels, wearing red coral stud earrings, and has not returned for many days. If you know the information, please contact 4040404. There will be a heavy payment."

The missing person notice also included a photo of Qu Yijun. In the black and white photo, she had delicate and gentle brows, and loosely rolled up a beautiful long hair that looked like a shampoo advertisement.

Jiang Yu looked over while looking for clues, his eyes were instantly attracted, his eyes narrowed and he said lowly, "It's a beauty."

As she talked, she flipped out a purse from her jacket pocket. The workmanship of the purse was unfamiliar, and it was obviously a "character" item.

Jiang Yu's face suddenly changed when he opened his wallet: "This is..."

She pulled out a photo from the interlayer of her purse. In the photo, the two girls were wearing loose shirts and kissing side by side in an embracing gesture. Among them, Jiang Yu himself was standing behind with his arms around each other’s waist, hugged from behind. The girl from is the Qu Yijun on the missing person notice.

The most numbing thing about the scalp is that the lower right corner of the photo is soaked with black and red blood stains, and countless dried blood fingerprints are overlapped everywhere in the photo.

Jiang Yu's hand holding the photo shook, and his brows tightened.

Chi Nan: "Do you know her?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "I don't know, the photo should belong to the "character". "

Lu Baizhou, who has not spoken much, looked at the photos, then looked at Jiang Yu and said, "It looks like it should be your girlfriend. "

Jiang Yu shrugged: "This character is not superficial, but..."

She paused, "My'girlfriend' is obviously not good enough."

Chi Nan looked at the photo, judging from the number of **** handprints, this photo must have been taken out by the ‘suspect’ repeatedly and looked at it countless times.

Lu Baizhou asked again: "You take the liberty to ask, are you crooked?"

Jiang Yu's action of biting his cigarette paused: "It's not important, at least the clues now show that my character is crooked, and the girl's disappearance is obviously related to the nightmare plot."

"Then we continue to look for clues?" Pei Mo cautiously suggested that this clue could not go on.

No one answered him, and the three of them kept their heads in silence and continued looking for clues in the car.

There was not much space in the car, and almost all four of them rummaged in a short time. It was not a problem for the driver to let them humming songs and ignore them.

It's a pity that everyone hasn't gained much.

Chi Nan pulled out a pair of iron rings from his pocket. It seemed that the materials were cheap but the handwork was extremely exquisite. The person who made them was obviously very careful.

Pei Mo turned to a book under his seat. The book was titled "The Murdering Intent with Nowhere to Run". The author's pen name was "The Judge."

Several spots of oil stains are faintly visible on the side of the book, like traces of accidentally splashed on the table to eat takeaway.

Lu Baizhou turned out a neatly folded note from his cosmetic bag. After unfolding, the handwriting was scribbled, and it was vaguely visible that it read: Dr. He: 4040404.

This string of numbers is obviously a contact phone number, and the handwriting on the address on the note has been blurred and soaked by water.

"This number is the same as the phone number used to find Qu Yijun." Lu Baizhou quickly discovered the similarities between the clues.

Jiang Yu turned over again: "Unfortunately, this copy does not leave us a communication tool."

Chi Nan looked at the driver: "Excuse me, do you have a cell phone?"

The driver whistled and shook his head to indicate no.

"Then do you know where to call?" Chi Nan asked again.

The driver glanced at him from the rearview mirror: "Wait in the rest area, there should be a phone in the hotel."

Chi Nan nodded: "Thank you."

At this time, the radio that was originally playing slowly rang suddenly, and then a female voice broadcast from the radio--

[Audiences and friends have a good journey. It is now the weather forecast. It is expected that in the next two hours, the entire section of Highway 404 will usher in heavy rain. The road is slippery on rainy days and the vision will be greatly affected. Please drive carefully and safely. First…]

Everyone looked at the cloudless weather and was a little puzzled, does this look like it's going to rain?

And which radio station’s weather forecast is calculated by the hour?

When everyone was puzzled, the originally clear sky was quickly covered by dark clouds, and the daylight disappeared.

In less than three minutes, the horizon at the end of the highway was swallowed by surging black clouds, and the gust of thunder was rolling, and the off-road vehicle driving on Highway 404 was like a flat boat in the center of the storm.

The slow rocking music on the radio disappeared, and the driver stopped humming. The inside of the car fell silent as soon as the wind whispered in his ears, and the closed car window glass was trembling in the wind.

Everyone was wearing seat belts, unconsciously breathing lightly and leaning on their back chairs. On the eve of the endlessly spreading wilderness and storm, their inner security was faltering.

Pei Mo cautiously suggested: "Should we stop for a while and then drive forward after the storm?"

The previous pleasure is no longer in the driver's voice: "You can't stop, this is not a place to stop."

Pei Mo continued to fight: "But driving in such bad weather is too unsafe. What if a traffic accident occurs?"

The driver looked at him coldly from the rearview mirror: "It's okay, it's okay to have a traffic accident."

Pei Mo was stared at with goose bumps, and leaned deeply into the back chair.

Jiang Yu frowned and said, "It should be the rules that do not allow parking. Don't waste your energy."

Pei Mo: "..."

Chi Nan always acted like a good disciplined student: "Do we need to pay attention to anything on rainy days?"

The driver turned his attention to him: "The scenery along Highway 404 on rainy days is unique, you can enjoy it."

After a pause, he smiled stiffly, "For example, those hitchhikers waiting by the highway on rainy days, you must not see them elsewhere."

"Hitchhiker? This ghost place?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Driver: "Yes, you may be able to see it later. As soon as it rains, those who cannot return home will wait by the highway to catch a ride and start their journey."

Pei Mo was puzzled: "But... why are they waiting for a ride on a rainy day?"

The driver smiled again: "Have you heard a saying? Dead souls need to use water as a medium to walk on the road in the sun, so it rains almost every year on the Zhongyuan Festival, just to wet the road The dead souls are on their way."

His words were enough to make everyone's scalp numb, only Chi Nan's face was calm.

The torrential rain had already fallen, and Chi Nan looked at the gray wilderness through the rain curtain like a waterfall on the car window.

About ten minutes after driving in the heavy rain, a vague outline appeared in the rain.

The silhouette looks like a long-haired woman. She has no umbrella, standing alone in the grass beside the road, passing by the window of a fast-moving car.

"I saw people waiting for the bus." Chi Nan said.

But he turned and looked through the back window, and there was no shadow where the woman was standing just now.

"I saw it too," Jiang Yu looked at the car window on her side and pointed to the billboard not far away. "She was standing there just now, she..."

Neat and straightforward like Jiang Yu, he choked very rarely, "I saw her face. It was in the missing person notice... Qu Yijun."
