nightmare novelist

Even though she knew that there were other practitioners around her, Su Qian still summoned the "Book of Nightmares", wanting to see if there would be any new content on the pages.

The flipping of the pages of the book will naturally make a sound. Jin Lianzi and Jiang Li, who were attracted by the sound, saw a heavy book the size of a laptop suddenly appearing in Su Qian's hand, and their eyes were taken aback again.

Maybe the two of them feel that Su Qian is also one of the anomalies in this nightmare world.

"File Number: E0158"

"File Code: Djinn."

"File level: S."

"File description: The lamp god is not a god, just because of a classic folklore story called 'Aladdin's lamp'. The mysterious object numbered E0158 is just like the lamp god in the story, and it does not have the ability to do anything wrong. And has been in a state of deep sleep. But if E0158 is awakened by someone, it must satisfy the five wishes of the awakener. Other information will be unlocked as the contact progresses.”

"Known ability: The degree of danger of E0158 depends on the desire of the awakener. E0158 cannot refuse the desire of the awakener. E0158 must do its best to fulfill the desire of the awakener 0158% within the scope of its ability. The awakener cannot leave the awakener before five wishes, and E0158 cannot return to sleep until the awakener finishes the fifth wish."

"Self-reported monologue: Unlock with contact progress."

When Su Qian was flipping through the book of nightmares, Jiang Li couldn't help being curious and also stepped forward to take a look, but was surprised to find that the senior didn't know where to conjure up such a big book. Still completely blank!

And Su Qian, after reading the black handwritten characters that emerged little by little on the page, also closed the page, just holding the book of nightmares and looking at Mr. Deng who was still playing charades over there.At this time, Su Qian remembered the story of the little match girl that Mr. Deng told before.

The little girl who was driven to a desperate situation by the cold and homeless lit the only five matches around her.When each match was lit, the little girl saw the hallucinations she dreamed of, such as a warm stove, a warm home, hot food and a family that loves her...

Mr. Deng said before that his wife is the little girl in the story.

And he is the five matches.

What if this Mr. Deng is E0158?Could it be that his wife is the one who awakened E0158 and got five chances to make a wish?

But for some reason, Su Qian was more curious about another thing related to fog than E0158's ability, so after seeing Mr. Deng who gradually became calm after the midnight evil spirit disappeared, Su Qian couldn't help but want Question: "Mr. Deng, can you also see the fog outside Hujingjiayuan?"

For a long time, Su Qian thought that only the trainees could see the fog, and the gray fog was like a special symbol, reminding them that they were still in the nightmare world.

"Why do you think I can't see the fog?" Mr. Deng over there showed a strange expression, "Since you escaped from the outside, you should know the horror of the gray fog."

Escaping from outside? !

Mr. Deng's words suddenly reminded Su Qian of a trivial matter that was not worth noting at all, that is, when he and Jiang Li, the experienced practitioners, had just entered this nightmare world, the mechanical prompt sound was telling the background of this nightmare world. the words said.

"Among the mist, there is a scene of a community where humans lived in the past. Lost refugees once broke into this place, and they were delighted by the calm and normal atmosphere here, as if they had strayed into a peach blossom garden, hoping to be here peacefully. Spend the rest of your life..." Su Qian repeated these words in a low voice as if talking to herself.

Su Qian had read this passage in the Book of Nightmare just now, so she recounted it very clearly.

"Why are people who come in from outside Hujingjiayuan called refugees?" Su Qian's thoughts were filled with more and more doubts, but at the same time, something seemed to be becoming clearer and clearer .

"You really don't know anything?" Mr. Deng glanced at all the trainees present, as if he was confused by the bewilderment on everyone's faces.

"Can't you just say something if you have something to say? You asked me and I asked you. Do you think we are playing a guessing game?!" The young man wearing the gold chain over there couldn't sit still again. After cursing in a low voice, he pointed at Mr. Deng's nose said, "If you know what that ghostly gray mist is, just say so, or I'll beat you!"

Although the words of the gold chain are crude, they are surprisingly useful.

Even if Mr. Deng over there is not very afraid of being beaten, after hearing what the golden chain said, he stopped playing charades, but directly said to Su Qian and the others: "I don't know what that gray fog is, after all, I have never left I’ve been to Hujing Jiayuan, and I’ve only heard about the gray mist from Tingting.”

"Tingting said that the gray fog suddenly appeared, without any warning, it appeared on the street, around the buildings, in the community, and even in the crowd."

"At the beginning, the gray fog just gathered in a certain place, and gradually began to spread around at a very slow speed. From the outside of the community, to the gate of the community, to the lawn of the community, to the residents Downstairs, spread to the outside of the house, and even seeped into the crack of the door..."

"It's more like swallowing than spreading."

"Tingting said that at the beginning, everyone thought that the weather and air quality had become bad. As ordinary people, they knew they could do nothing about the situation, and verbal complaints were even more useless. But when everyone had to wear filter masks When walking through the fog to maintain daily work, study and life, something unbelievable happened."

"Some people who have not taken protective measures but have been in the gray fog for a long time began to lose control of their emotions. The irritable people are extremely irritable, and the depressed people are extremely depressed. Then the extremely depressed people start to hurt themselves, and the extremely irritable people start to hurt others, and then even start to There is various evidence that these people's loss of control is related to the fog."

"The loss of control of human emotions caused by the gray fog eventually led to the loss of control of the entire human environment."

"What happened after that, how far the gray fog spread, and what the world outside Hujing Jiayuan looked like, Tingting never told me in detail. But..." Mr. Deng said here, and then Looking at Su Qian and the others, "I can already guess some."

"But why don't you know anything?" Mr. Deng was still very confused, "Don't you come from outside?"

It's more like they came from another world... Su Qian secretly sighed, but didn't intend to tell Mr. Deng too much about the trainees.Although there is a community of Hujing Jiayuan in the gray fog and outside the gray fog, there are obviously many differences between the two worlds.

For example, the classic horror movie "Midnight Ghost" mentioned in the book of nightmares, and "The Little Match Girl" mentioned by Mr. Deng before, and "Aladdin" just seen in the book of nightmares. "Lamp" seems to be a well-known classic in this foggy world.

But Su Qian has never heard of these stories since she was a child, and even the old man Qi around her has never heard of similar stories.If the world outside the fog is real, and the world in the fog is a false nightmare, then perhaps these stories are only part of the falsehood.

Su Qian sat down on the sofa again, put the thick book of nightmares on her lap, and moistened her lips with cold tea: "Mr. Deng, we still have to return to the original topic. This lake view The weirdness of Jiayuan and the disappearance of so many residents are really related to you, right?"

Mr. Deng did not speak.

"Or, is it related to the five wishes made by Miss Tingting?" Su Qian expressed her guess.

In the next second, that Mr. Deng's face changed drastically: "How do you know?"

"Didn't you just tell the story of the little match girl?" Of course, Su Qian couldn't say that she read it from the book of nightmares.

Thanks to the sharp shot of the previous trick, the horror movie that might have turned into a ghost chase has suddenly evolved into a talk show.However, Su Qian was also sure that Mr. Deng would definitely speak, after all, Mr. Deng had been very eager to confide since just now.

It's as if Mr. Deng suddenly changed his attitude and was willing to talk to them when he knew they were outsiders before. This guy from E0158 is very eager to talk to people, very eager, very eager.

"..." Mr. Deng was silent for a while, and then he said with a dry voice, "When I woke up, it was just a candle that had just been lit, a candle that had to fulfill the five wishes of the awakener And the one who lighted me up was Tingting who was driven to a desperate situation by the gray fog."

Jin Lianzi and Jiang Li next to him were stunned when they heard this.

"The first time I saw her, she was curled up in a corner and almost lost consciousness." Mr. Deng, no, E0158 had a nostalgic expression on his face, "Even when I said hello, she didn't realize it. How strange it is for a candle to speak."

"It's like Aladdin's magic lamp. After I told her that I could help her to realize five wishes, she just said in a daze that she wanted to go home, to Hujing Jiayuan, and to go back to no gray fog. I went to Hujing Jiayuan. The power of my wish made me transform into a figure in the light and shadow of the candle lamp, so I held her hand and walked forward, leading her here."

E0158 struggled to get up from the ground, walked to the window of the house with some staggering steps, and looked at the various lights lit up in Hujing Jiayuan under the night.

"This Hujing Jiayuan is Tingting's first wish, a safe place that is not eroded by the fog and is peaceful, and it is also the first match she lit."
