Shen Lou floated behind Yin Luming, folded his arms and asked, "What did you find here?"

Yin Luming lightly stroked the oil painting on the wall, and shook his head after a while: "I didn't find anything, what do you think?"

"I think..." Shen Lou rubbed his chin and smiled, "I think my patience is almost exhausted."

Yin Luming looked up at him in surprise.

Although Shen Lou was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I thought there was some special need to call me here."

Yin Luming frowned: "What are you crazy about?"

"The play house game should be over." Shen Lou snapped his fingers lightly, an invisible force restrained Yin Luming, and slowly lifted him into the air.

Shen Lou smiled authentically, "Then, is there any last words?"

Yin Luming's neck was restrained, his face was flushed because he couldn't breathe, and he said with difficulty: "You, you are crazy... Don't want me to help you collect the illustrated books?"

Shen Lou said: "I have to remind you, you don't look like him at all."

Yin Luming was taken aback.

Shen Lou lightly shook his right hand.

Suddenly, balls of light exploded from the mirrors around the corridor, shooting directly at "Yin Luming".

The invisible force restraining "Yin Lumeng" wavered slightly, causing him to fall from midair to the ground.

A picture book fell out of his arms.

Shen Lou raised his hand, and the illustration book fell into his hands.

"Yin Luming" supported the wall and took two steps back.

Shen Lou folded his arms, did not pursue, and slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Yin Luming" suddenly became blurred, and when he looked up again, his face changed, and he smiled and said, "I thought I had already imitated it very much, but I didn't expect you to discover it."

Shen Lou sneered.

The man said again: "But I'm still a little curious. You haven't thought about it. Maybe it's just Yin Luming copied from this dream? Or can you be so cruel to the copy?"

Shen Lou said: "Even if he is copied, he won't have the disgusting mouse smell that you have."

The man was not angry, but shrugged regretfully: "You are really astute."

Shen Lou narrowed his eyes slightly: "You know me?"

His tone was actually quite respectful.

The man laughed: "Of course, among the people in the nightmare game, who doesn't know you?"

He paused, and said deliberately, "The newcomers who entered the game later did not understand the history of the Nightmare game and disrespected the elders..."

Shen Lou interrupted him: "You brought me here just to say these things?"

Seeing that the instigation was ineffective, the man closed his mouth knowingly, and said, "Maybe you don't remember, but before you left the Nightmare Game, you left behind some helpers to help you return to the Nightmare Game and still be able to control the overall situation."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows slightly, and said sarcastically: "You don't want to say, I left a mouse like you before, right? Then my taste in the past was really bad enough."

The man was not angry, and smiled humbly: "Of course it's not me...uh, or it's not just me."

He straightened his chest, "Please allow me to introduce myself in front of you. I am Pei Yuchao, the vice president of the Shenmao Guild. Shenmao is your successor."

Shen Lou lowered his eyes and stared at him lightly.

Pei Yu bowed his head respectfully and smiling.

Shen Lou moved his fingers lightly, a cloud of blue light rippling slightly in his palm, his expression was indifferent: "What I left behind was the anchor?"

Pei Yuchao replied, "Yes."

Shen Lou let out a "huh": "Tell me, what did I leave you guys doing?"

Pei Yu raised his head and laughed: "Although we all followed in your footsteps, you are probably still on Yin Luming's side now. You just want to collect information from me, so I'm sorry I can't tell you the truth."

Shen Lou sneered: "Then why do I need you?"

After speaking, he raised his hand, and the blue light in his hand gradually enlarged, like a brilliant blue flame.

Pei Yuchao hurriedly said, "Of course, I entered this dream on purpose this time because I want to convey something to you."

"Say."

"The president asked me to tell you: We have followed the footsteps you left behind, and your long-cherished wish will soon be fulfilled." Pei Yuchao paused and continued, "If you are willing to trust us and abandon that player Come to us..."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "My long-cherished wish?"

Pei Yu sighed: "The seal set by 'Zero' on you has not been completely lifted so far. You have even forgotten your own wish-although I have never met you before, your long-cherished wish is to subvert the world."

Shen Lou touched his chin lightly: "I still remember this."

Pei Yu's expression brightened.

Shen Lou said: "The 'Zero' you mentioned was the one who sealed me in the illustrated book back then?"

"He is the original player of Nightmare Player, and even existed before the first player, before the Nightmare game was fully opened. Because he is not an official player, and no one knows what his name is, so we usually call him 'Zero'." Pei Yu said, "He helped the Nightmare Game complete many mechanisms, so he has many permissions granted to him by the original Nightmare Game, and can even be said to be half of the game's manager."

When Pei Yuchao said this, the space around him fluctuated slightly for a moment, as if some power was warning him to pay attention to his words.

Pei Yu pouted with a smile, "Just saying it, the system will detect it—fortunately, this place is special, so I can explain it clearly to you."

Shen Lou was silent.

Regarding the "Zero" player, after meeting Zhou Ziqi, he actually vaguely recalled some of them.

The last impression he still had was the overwhelming darkness, like being sealed in a coffin, obliterating the last light he could see.

In that darkness, the last thing he saw was that vague figure, standing there silently staring at him, his gaze as cold as ice.

Just with these fragmented memories, Shen Lou could still feel that he was about to be infected and freeze.

Although Shen Lou has never recalled whether he was a player before he was sealed in the illustrated book, or whether he was a nightmare game system, but no matter what his identity is, he is undoubtedly a person who can overturn the entire world.

And this zero...

"That zero, where is it now?" Shen Lou retracted his thoughts in an instant, without revealing a trace of superfluous emotion, his expression was still careless, "The price he paid for being able to seal me is not small."

"Nightmare games have existed since the age of mythology, and I don't know how many thousands of years have passed." Pei Yu smiled wryly, "How can we know about people who have lived in nightmare games for so long? But according to the president's instructions over the years Investigations have concluded that he must have died."

Shen Lou slightly raised his eyebrows.

"The 'Observer Association' formed by the ranked players screened by the system has largely replaced the role of zero. Therefore, we guess that you died of serious injuries after the zero seal. Let the Observer Association replace him and continue to maintain the order of the nightmare game."

Observer Association.

A group of ranked players who are determined after selection and assessment by the system to ensure that they understand the core of the Nightmare Game, and absolutely support the Nightmare Game's stance, and at the same time not lack wisdom and action, are responsible for assisting the system to govern the Nightmare Game, and are also Nightmare Games security force.

Shen Lou looked down at Pei Yu and glanced at him.

Before entering this dream, Yin Luming once asked him if the Nightmare game had a protection mechanism.

At that time, Shen Lou was going to answer Yin Luming directly, but just as he was about to say it, he received a warning from Nightmare Games across the real world.

The existence of the Observer Association cannot be known to non-ranked players.

Shen Lou frowned slightly: Could it be that Ling is really dead?

When he first talked to Yin Luming about the person who sealed him in the illustrated book, he joked about planning to take revenge.Although he lost his memory and didn't even have the emotion of who the other party was or how he hated him, but the fact that he had been sealed in the illustrated book for so many years alone was enough for him to hold vengeance.

After all, Shen Lou is not a broad-minded person.

Now knowing that the other party is actually dead, the first thing that surged in Shen Lou's heart was not the joy of revenge, but a faint sense of loss and emptiness that came from nowhere.

The emotion disappeared in a flash, and Shen Lou quickly thought of another point.

He looked down at Pei Yuchao: "I'm afraid someone from Shen Ao has sneaked into the Observer Association?"

Pei Yu smiled slightly: "Yes."

Shen Lou narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's you?"

Pei Yu showed a hint of embarrassment that she tried to hide but couldn't hide: "Yes."

Shen Lou felt a little pitiful for Nightmare Game.

Even the most core protection system has been mixed with traitors.

Mi Ampere also said that he is the system of Nightmare Games... If he is really the system, this set of things is too simple.

Players of the Observer Association have higher authority than ordinary players, so it is not surprising that they can sneak into Yin Lumeng's ranking competition level.

and even more...

Shen Lou sized up Pei Yu and glanced at him: "So, the wishing talisman is your handwriting?"

Unexpectedly, Pei Yuchao opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Have you forgotten this? You created the mechanism of the wishing talisman!"

Shen Lou narrowed his eyes.

……

Yin Luming stood at the door of the studio, looking at the other Yin Luming and Shen Yinyin.

Another Yin Luming said: "Wei Shaona is not a dreamer."

Yin Luming nodded in agreement.

But there are so many mirrors in the Bieyuan, each mirror is connected to a mirror world, and each mirror world has [-] models... With so many people, it is not easy to find the disguised dreamer.

The other Yin Luming thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Maybe you can find us first."

He puts the accent on the word "I".

His Shen Lou rubbed his chin: "Look for Yin Luming in every dream, and let them investigate the suspicious people in their respective dreams?"

"Yin Luming" said: "The states I've seen before have been replicated by dreams are different, but their temperaments are basically the same as ours."

The one who knows you best is always yourself.

Just as they can unite, Yin Lumens from other mirror worlds can also unite.

Yin Luming is naturally aware of his character - even if he knows that he is a fake and non-existent NPC, his attitude towards the surroundings will not change.

Regardless of which Yin Lumen is true and which is false, it does not affect their mutual alliance.

Yin Luming thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Shen Yin Yin suddenly said indifferently: "It sounds like your matter has nothing to do with me."

The two Yin Luming glanced at her together, then nodded together: "Indeed."

Her Shen Lou floated to her side, put her arm on Shen Yinyin's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Yinyin, it feels like I am facing two brothers-in-law at once."

Shen Yinyin knocked off his hand with a "slap".

Yin Luming and his other self looked at each other.

...The relationship between Shen Yinyin and Shen Lou is probably the thing that makes them feel OOC the most.

Although it had nothing to do with her, Shen Yin Yin finally said: "Then I will help too."

Shen Lou raised her eyebrows and said: "Yinyin, if this dream is broken, we will disappear."

He intentionally glanced at Yin Luming and Shen Lou and the others here, and said with a low laugh, "If you want to fight back, I'm happy to help you."

Shen Yinyin raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Will you disappear with me?"

Shen Lou blinked and laughed: "Of course, being able to sink into the deep sea of ​​nothingness with you is the most perfect ending for me."

Shen Yinyin paused, and turned her face away.

Her Shen Lou laughter became clearer.

Yin Luming stared at Shen Lou opposite.

His Shen Lou suddenly reached out and shook his hand in front of him: "Why, are you envious?"

Yin Luming came back to his senses and patted his hand away: "Don't make trouble."

Shen Lou withdrew his hand: "It's almost dawn, we should go back."

Yin Luming glanced at him indifferently.

It has to be said that this fake of Shen Lou is so realistic that it is almost unrecognizable.

The same personality, the same oral habit, and the same ability as the real Shen Lou...I'm afraid Yin Luming will be hard to tell if the real Shen Lou has escaped.

But the core point is different.

Shen Lou's attitude towards reality is different from that of ordinary people.

For example, after Si He became a deep-sea phantom creeper, he has been wondering whether he is the real Si He.Shen Lou's attitude towards this is not to tell him "you are" or "you are not", but to say casually that "the boundary between reality and reality is not so clear in the nightmare game".

Although Shen Lou has always acted more like an ordinary person than Yin Lumen, who has a lower emotional threshold, in essence he is still the inhuman existence in the nightmare game.

Shen Lou would never say something like "The real can't be fake, and the fake can't be real", but it is more likely that Shen Lou, like Shen Yinyin's Shen Lou, would incite him to fight with another Yin Luming.

Yin Luming and another Yin Luming made an appointment to meet, and they stepped out of the studio together.

Among all the mirror worlds, only this studio is unique.When they leave the studio, they return to their respective galleries.

Standing at the door of the studio, moonlight as clear as silver falls from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor.

Yin Luming walked forward slowly, and the moonlight fell on his shoulders and side face, coating his handsome and delicate face with a layer of brilliance like a sculpture.

Wei Shaona walked out holding the door frame, looked at Yin Lumeng's back, and was stunned for a while.

The tall and slender young man stepped on the snow-colored floor, and the moonlight cast in, but no shadow fell. In contrast, the huge dark blue phantom floating beside the young man made him look weird and beautiful.

Yin Luming looked at his feet.

I don't know when it started, but his shadow disappeared.

He looked up at Shen Lou.

Shen Lou stroked his chin and said, "Maybe it's because your subconscious mind started to waver and doubt whether you really existed, and it was reflected in the dream?"

Yin Luming nodded expressionlessly.

It's not surprising that other Yin Luming and Shen Lou were duplicated in the dream, or even mixed up.

It's just that Shen Lou next to him has been trying every means to imply the idea of ​​"you are fake".

This Shen Lou is obviously controlled by Tu Mengzhe, even Tu Mengzhe himself.

——Then what is the purpose of the dreamer?

From the other Yin Lumens, Tu Mengzhe should be able to see that even if he knew that he was an illusory NPC, "Yin Lumens" would not stop exploring.

Trying to dissuade him from this dream by breaking his psychological defense is a daydream.

Shen Yin Yin clearly recognized that she was false, but she did not encounter any accidents, which meant that her psychological cognition would not have negative effects in the dream.

Yin Luming's eyes drooped slightly.

Shen Lou noticed his expression, and asked with a smile, "Why, do you have a clue?"

I didn't think it before, but when it was confirmed that Shen Lou was a fake, these casual inquiries became meaningful.

Yin Luming said calmly: "Where do you think Tu Mengzhe will be?"

Shen Lou touched his chin: "So many worlds in the mirror are not only a disturbance to us, but also to the dreamers. If I were the dreamer, there is a high probability that I will not play myself as one of the models, but choose A character who is connected to all mirror worlds."

"Oh?" Yin Luming said, "Wei Shaona is not a dreamer, so the rest is..."

Shen Lou said firmly: "A faceless man."

Among all the mirror worlds, only Wei Shaona's studio and the oil painting in which the Faceless Man resides are common.If Tu Mengzhe pretends to be a faceless person, he can monitor all the mirror worlds at will, and it is difficult for Yin Luming to find out.

Yin Luming said, "Lin Xiangxiang?"

After the accident on the first night, when Yin Luming looked at Lin Xiangxiang in the mirror, what he saw was a faceless man.

At that time, Lin Xiangxiang had already been replaced by the faceless man.

Shen Lou nodded.

Yin Luming pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No hurry, go to other mirror worlds to check first."

Shen Lou shrugged regretfully: "Okay, it's up to you."

……

Pei Yu pushed open the door of the studio, and said to Shen Lou, "Are you ready?"

Shen Lou folded his arms, without comment: "Let's see."

Pei Yu smiled and made a "please" gesture.

Shen Lou floated into the studio.

He had never entered Wei Shaona's studio, looked around the wall, and frowned slightly.

The walls are full of mirrors, but there are no paintings.

Pei Yuchao bent down slightly: "Shen Ao has been looking for your existence all these years, but he has never found you... We didn't know that you went to the real world until the player returned to the game with the illustration book."

Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "So?"

"In addition to whereabouts, we also found a lot of 'memories' about you." Pei Yu pointed to the mirrors on the wall, "I came to see you this time, and I brought them with me."

Shen Lou sized him up and floated in front of one of the mirrors.

The mirror surface rippled slightly, and a slightly blurred picture was displayed in the mirror.

……

A tall and long-legged man sat casually on the steps, most of his face was hidden in the shadows, and he tied bandages on his hands without haste.

The bright red blood on the palm fell to the ground, and tiny roses bloomed.

Suddenly, he didn't know who was talking to him, the man turned his face sideways, and his handsome face was exposed in the light.

It was Shen Lou himself.

He listened for a moment, then said slowly: "Normal humans need bandages when they are injured."

After a while, he laughed, "Of course I am a normal human being now. But you are not considered human anymore, are you?"

He tied the knot of the bandage tightly, moved his palm a little bit, watched the red color smudge out of the bandage, and nodded in satisfaction.

A voice suddenly asked: "Brother Shen, who are you talking to?"

Shen Lou turned his head and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Can't you hear me?"

The screen shook for a moment: "I can't hear you."

Shen Lou smiled and said: "Well, it's a little hard to explain... You can be understood as my soul mate."

The voice said in surprise: "Brother Shen has a girlfriend? Can he still talk remotely?"

Shen Lou laughed and shook his head: "It's not a girlfriend."

The corners of his lips twitched, his eyes were shining like stars, and he whispered in a low tone between his lips and teeth, "He is an enemy who wants to kill me and then quickly."

The screen trembled, as if the man was taken aback.

Shen Lou's expression quickly returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "Of course, it's hard to say who wins and who loses."

……

The screen stopped abruptly.

Shen Lou nodded his chin lightly.

Pei Yuchao asked politely, "Have you remembered anything?"

Shen Lou put down his hands, and answered the irrelevant question: "Where do these memories come from?"

Pei Yu said, "It was drawn from the players who met you back then."

Shen Lou slightly raised his eyebrows: "Puff?"

Pei Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, they just copied their memories with props, and they won't do any damage to them, nor will they cause amnesia."

Shen Lou remembered the prop he got from Lei Yingzhe.

The memory can be read and displayed on the screen, but the deeper level should be able to store the memory at the same time.

Shen Lou stretched out his hand and tapped the mirror lightly, then withdrew his hand: "How long ago was this memory?"

"Eight years ago."

Shen Lou slightly narrowed his eyes.

After reading this memory, he did recall a little something.

In an unknown dream, he had indeed chatted with someone so far away.

The content of the chat is even somewhat clear:

——You can heal yourself casually, so why wear a bandage?

—Normal humans need bandages when they get hurt.

—Are you human?

——Of course I am a normal human being now.But you, you are no longer a human being, right?

——No matter how much you pretend to be, you are not a human being.

Shen Lou folded his arms, his eyes darkened slightly, and floated in front of another mirror.

The surface of the mirror rippled slightly.

Shen Lou in the mirror leaned against the corner of the wall, casually said to the people next to him: "In that case, our guild should be called 'Shen Anchor'."
