God does not love the world [unlimited]

At the critical moment, Qiao Yan dragged the two of them to the back of the spiral staircase and retreated into the shadows.

Peter Pan flew out of the room and went straight to the first floor.

Qiao Yan gave a questioning look to the side.

Is this kid planning to go to their room?

Shi Yu walked out of the back of the stairs, leaning against the wall and looking down.

The room closest to the stairs is the room of Little Red Riding Hood.

Peter Pan didn't know if it was because he had already broken through once, so he bypassed that room and stopped at the door of the nearest wizard's room.

Raise your hand and push the door.

Shi Yu turned her head to look at Shuying, and slowly made a mouth shape.

go back.

In the next second, Qiao Yan saw the figure of God Luo Huai in front of him disappearing into the air like water dripping into a lake.

Peter Pan walked into the wizard's room.

Shi Yu said: "You go back too."

Qiao Yan didn't expect that the idea of ​​following him would fall into the sand as soon as he started. But he is not an unreasonable person. He knows that Peter Pan's going to the player's room is probably a fixed process. After coming out of the wizard's room, he will be the next one. If he doesn't want to, he has to Go back and lie down.

Fortunately, his natal weapon itself is sliding on the ground instead of running. Although the lack of a leg does not affect the speed now, after successfully returning to the room, he suddenly reacted with hindsight: Why is the other party alone again now? ?

Shi Yu sent the two tails away and walked into Peter Pan's room.

Peter Pan was probably really anxious when he left, he didn't even close the door.

There were no candles lit inside, the windows were closed, the sheets on the bed were still messed up, and the temperature hadn't faded.

Shi Yu remembered Peter Pan's murmured words "I only have you now", and walked to the wooden table.

There are many and miscellaneous things on the table, but the raw materials are inseparable from the forest: quills, parchment scrolls, paper frogs, small wooden horses, whip tops and other messy gadgets.

The parchment was spread out without a single word left on it.

Further forward is a bookshelf, and the content here is very rich, such as "[-] Ways of Cooking Fish", "Flower Arrangement from Beginner to Master", "Wood Art Sculpture", "The Three Primary Colors of Art"...

Looking from left to right, Shi Yu scanned the titles on the spine of the book, but at this moment, the sound of the door opening and closing sounded outside.

Peter Pan came out of the wizard's room and, without accident, went to the next door to the tin soldier's room.

This time, he probably only took a few glances before coming out. When he got to the door of Pinocchio's room, he didn't even enter the door. He just stood outside and took a second look before leaving.

Of course, there is no need to enter Pinocchio's room. After all, compared with the previous two, the face of the other party lying on the bed is facing the door, and it is impossible to fake it.

Peter Pan is like a treasure hunter who has counted his own treasures. The gloom and low pressure when he hurriedly left the room at the beginning gradually dissipated as he passed through one room after another, and he was completely calm when he closed Pinocchio's door.

Passing Little Red Riding Hood's room on the way back to the second floor, he pushed it away, paused, and ran in quickly.

The balcony door was left open, the window was wide open, and the bed was empty.

Standing in front of the bed, Peter Pan slowly clenched his fists.

There was a "crash", and the wind came in.

Peter Pan suddenly turned his head, his eyes froze: "Little Red Riding Hood?"

Shi Yu went downstairs after the other party entered her room, turned over on the balcony of the wizard's room next door, and raised her eyes with just the right surprise in her voice: "Why are you here?"

Peter Pan walked up to him step by step, and he and him were just inside and outside the balcony door, and the toes of his shoes were wet from the incoming rain: "Where did you go just now?"

"It's on the balcony." Shi Yu replied, "It's too hot in the room, I'll go down and blow some air."

It is summer outside, and the temperature will not be low even at night.His clothes were wet, and his eyelashes were wet in locks and strands. He couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat, and he couldn't tell whether the hotness in his words was true or not.

"Why do you want to go out?" Peter Pan rose slowly, looking straight into his eyes, "It's still raining outside."

"But it's windy."

"Did you not leave the castle?"

Shi Yu asked back, "Why should I leave?"

Peter Pan fell silent.

Shi Yu approached: "Why are you here?"

Peter Pan backed away until both of them were out of range of the rain, and suddenly he asked, "Do you like wine?"

Shi Yu was taken aback: "It's okay."

"Then can you have a glass of wine with me?"

Shi Yu looked at him.

The other party flew back to the stone table, picked up the wine bottle with clumsy movements for an adult, poured it into the wooden cup [-]% full, knocked it down when it was put down, and turned back with the wooden cup in it. With clean and pure eyes, he begged cautiously: "Didn't you ask me why I came here? I'll tell you after you drink it."

Shi Yu untied her wet robe and sat on the edge of the bed, raised her hand to take the wooden cup, and drank it in front of the boy.

When the glass was put down, it was already empty.

"Can we talk now?" he asked.

The other party's voice was very small, wronged and hasty: "I'm having a nightmare."

Shi Yu did not expect such an answer.

"That's why I came to see you." Peter Pan didn't look away from him, "Otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

The other party asked with a soothing voice: "Why?"

Peter Pan flew to the cupboard.

There was a clothes hanger in the corner of the cabinet near the window, covered with a curtain, which Shi Yu had noticed since entering the room.

It's not that he didn't think about opening it to have a look, but the bottom of the curtain was closed with a lock, and he didn't find the key, so he didn't destroy it.

After Peter Pan flew there, he seemed to be silent for a long time, did nothing, and then flew back again: "Are you sleepy?"

Shi Yu sat on the edge of the bed and didn't speak.

Peter Pan sat on the table, put his hands on his neck, and gently stroked the warm skin with his fingertips, but his eyes were just at the same level as him.

Shi Yu moved her lips: "Peter..."

Peter Pan suddenly exerted force, shackles the opponent's breath: "When you ran away, did you ever think that you would come back? Did you ever think that there would be a moment like this, where I would be strangled by the neck?"

Shi Yu couldn't break free from him, and clasped his hands on the other's wrist, but the other's throat was firmly held by the other party's hand.

"Didn't you all promise to stay with me? Didn't you agree that you would live in the forest forever? Did you think about me when you broke the contract? You know that when I stay in the castle alone all night Can't sleep at night?"

The back of the opponent's hand was bulging with blue veins: "Did you forget the words we carved together under the South Oak tree in less than three years?!"

A drop of rain fell down the hair on his cheek and rolled into the other's finger.

Peter Pan suddenly let go of his hand: "Can you call me by my name again?"

"...Peter Pan."

The other party's hand went up from the neck, covering his eyes, feeling the eyelashes under the palm trembling slightly, and said very softly: "Just this time, don't leave, I will be angry."

Peter Pan said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed."

The long eyelashes under the palm drooped.

[Scared me out of breath]

【This tone is too sick and delicate】

[From what Peter Pan said, it seems that Little Red Riding Hood failed Peter Pan first? 】

[Could it be that Little Red Riding Hood and Peter Pan secretly developed some magical relationship? ! 】

[The previous ones are not enough, don’t forget that Peter Pan is not only doing this to Little Red Riding Hood, he is doing this to everyone in the castle, and being given sleeping pills is a common treatment for all players]

[But I remember that Peter Pan is not the character in the fairy tales I read. What's the situation?I read a fake fairy tale book? ? 】

It's raining harder.

It was already after Peter Pan left that Qiao Yan turned over the balcony again.

Although only one leg does not affect the running speed, it is still more difficult than normal people to move when encountering obstacles such as stairs or balcony railings.I just don’t know if it’s a coincidence or Peter Pan’s design. There are four rooms side by side. Only the balcony of his room has no guardrails, which saves the effort of climbing over the railings.

He came over with Shuying almost on the front and rear, and when he entered the door, he saw someone sitting at the table: "You won't come here and plan to learn a craft, right?"

Shi Yu turned the cover of the book at an angle and pushed it in front of the two of them: "A Record of the Life of a Lion".

As soon as Qiao Yan lowered her head, she saw "Eating Habits" written in swashbuckling characters on the page opened by the other party: "What's the problem?"

Shi Yu said succinctly: "The only book in the cupboard is related to animals."

It just so happened that it was the lion that mattered, not the wolf.

For some reason, Joan thought of the lion summoned by the steps of the Penrose stairs.

Shi Yu propped herself up on the table and walked out to the balcony.

"You want to go out?"

"I want to see that corpse." Shi Yu put on his hat, "I didn't find it on the way to the castle, so this time you have to lead the way."

Qiao Yan closed the book: "Since you didn't find it all the way here, what if there is no such corpse in this dream?"

"Before entering the castle, I thought it might not be there, but after entering the castle, I think there will be." Shi Yu pushed the door open, "Dreamers need anchors."

Qiao Yan glanced at the heavy rain outside: "I didn't know you believed in Inception."

"It doesn't refer to totems," Shi Yu said, "it's the product of people's real memory after being blurred and transformed by the dream, but no matter how the dream is transformed, there will always be loopholes, just like ordinary people may suddenly realize that they are in the dream. The world you live in is a dream that you pretend to be.”

Qiao Yan turned her head: "In fact, you always thought that the dreamer was Peter Pan."

"Players will die, and the death is irregular. If this dungeon world is created by one of the players, then the player who rolled the dice in the first round may cause the dream to dissipate; animals are never alone in the forest. There is more than one animal, and unless their dreams can be merged with each other, it makes no sense to be treated the same in the dream of the first Penrose staircase."

Shi Yu said: "Peter Pan died in reality. I don't think the dreamer will completely forget it, so that there is no trace in the dream."

Qiao Yan: "I remember that I didn't confirm that the dead one was Peter Pan. Except for the clothes, the face of the corpse is not recognizable at all."

"But I think it is." Shi Yu said, "so I want to see the corpse."

Two 10 minutes later.

The three people who got out of the castle stood by the river, and the water surface was pitted by the rain.

What was left in the bushes was not a corpse at all, but a pile of minced meat infested with worms.

But I don't know if the dreamer is subconsciously emphasizing it, or simply re-enacting it as it is. The neck of the skull that fell on the top is still stuck to the neck of the skull that has not been cleaned, and the fracture hole is deeply sunken.

In that forest before, Qiao Yan and Shuying never checked here at all. One was because they were in a hurry to go back at that time, and the other was that the size of the player was too small at that time. "Mountain of corpses" is powerless even if you really want to see it.

But now that they really saw it, the three parties were silent.

Qiao Yan once again remembered what the other party asked him when he was standing in the damaged light and shadow: "Bugs, wasps, goshawks, poisonous snakes, bison, lions, which animal do you think has the gnawing mark more like the one on the dead man's body?" Scars?"

He couldn't answer it then.

But now he might be able to answer.

"Neither the gnawing swarm nor the poisonous sting of the bee, nor the talons of the goshawk nor the grazing teeth of the bison can make such a hole."

Shi Yu looked at him.

Qiao Yan said: "Unless the poisonous snake is big enough to swallow a person's head in one bite, the tooth marks left on the neck should not be horizontal, only a lion remains."

But not long ago they had found the "Life of a Lion" in a cupboard in Little Red Riding Hood's room.

None of the people present were novices, and this few clues were enough to piece together a very magical story with all the elements: Little Red Riding Hood specially learned the habits and hobbies of the lion, and guided the lion to kill Peter Pan.

Qiao Yan looked up at the person involved.

The parties did not speak.

However, Qiao Yan called him and asked a very serious question: "How does it feel to be the murderer who killed the preparation boss of the dungeon?"
