nightmare novelist

"Dossier Addendum 4: It is learning, and growing very fast, it is becoming extremely dangerous, and it cannot be left unknown."

For some reason, looking at the file information of E0014, Su Qian suddenly remembered the "Appendix 4 of the file" that was added under the data of the mirror in the last data update of the Book of Nightmares.

When Su Qian saw this appendix at the time, she thought it was some kind of exaggerated rhetorical technique. After all, the words used in the Book of Nightmare files were sometimes very strange.

But after seeing the "unknown" in the E0014 file, Su Qian felt that what the Book of Nightmare wanted to express might be that he didn't want the spooky mirror, which is currently ranked E0555, to become an unknown and out-of-control state like E0014 someday in the future.

But what does it mean to be out of control?What is the difference between an out-of-control mystery and an ordinary mystery?Since these mysterious objects are now out of control, does that mean they were once under the control of some kind of existence?

"How will you be here?!"

The gray fog around the trainees began to gradually dissipate. Although the four of them were still shrouded in the gray fog, at least they became visible to each other.Compared with the new trainees several times before, what Su Qian heard this time was not confused murmurs of doubt, but a shocked questioning voice from one of the trainees, A Liu.

Fortunately, Su Qian put away the book of nightmares before the gray mist completely dissipated, otherwise Aliu may have more than one problem with Su Qian at this moment.Although the information on the Book of Nightmares is very useful, all the information on E0014 is now in an unknown state, and the only useful information is only two pieces——

"File number: E0014 (out of control)"

"File Code: Disease"

So even if the book of nightmares is stared out, Su Qian won't be able to get more information for the time being.In addition, the three trainees other than him should not be newcomers this time. They may be more experienced than Su Qian, and they may know more about the nightmare world.

What Su Qian had to do was to reduce her presence as usual in order to hear more useful information from them.It's a pity that some of the trainees this time have already been eyeing him early in the morning.

"You are also a trainer? You also know that this building is the entrance to the nightmare world?" A Liu quickly rushed to Su Qian, staring at him with wide eyes, "No, you have a pass for the building...so, This is the fate?"

"Aliu, do you know each other?" Standing on the other side was a young man wearing a shirt, trousers and glasses, with a cropped cut, and he was tearing off the tie on his shirt as if he was out of breath.

"Well, we met on the bus. The entertainment company he signed with should be in this building." From the beginning to the end, Su Qian only said one word to A Liu, but the short-haired girl strangely believed that he signed a contract with Xiao Xiao. The identity of the newcomer.

"Sign with an entertainment company?" The trainee who knew Aliu looked at Su Qian and frowned, "Is he still a student? Are all the kids nowadays yearning to be stars so much?"

Su Qian can explain it at this time.But after thinking about it, he didn't really need to explain anything, even if he didn't even know the name of the entertainment company, it was better than explaining the relationship between himself and the publishing house, so he just acquiesced.

The remaining trainee was a somewhat chubby young man. Like Su Qian, he listened for a while, then squinted his eyes, and asked Aliu and the others with a joyful smile: "It turns out that there is a relationship between senior trainees. Do you all know each other? It feels amazing!"

"Are you a newcomer?" The man wearing glasses looked at the smiling white and fat young man, "What's your name? How many times have you experienced the world of nightmares?"

"My name is Chang Shan." The chubby young man looked at him and scratched his head shyly, "I just finished the novice level a week ago, and I didn't expect to be caught again so soon. Actually, I was quite nervous at first, but if it's with two If you act together with a senior trainer, it seems to be a lot more practical in an instant."

The man wearing glasses looked at Su Qian again.

"Me too." Su Qian had been exposed to the nightmare world at about the same time as Chang Shan.

Maybe because he didn't like Su Qian's indifference, the man wearing glasses frowned again, and then said: "My name is Fang Hai, and A Liu and I have experienced the nightmare world three times, maybe you think three times is not a lot , but there is a huge difference in difficulty between the normal difficulty nightmare world and the novice level, every nightmare world is a narrow escape for the experiencer."

"Then..." Chang Shan, who was still smiling before, suddenly stammered, "I, we will also... become stronger because of going through the nightmare world?"

"Do you think this is a game? After completing a mission, you will still have experience to upgrade you? Or do you have to give your attributes something?" After hearing what Chang Shan said, Ah Liu narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Newcomer, my sister is here Here is a secret to tell you. There is only one way to become stronger in the nightmare world, and that is to find props. There are many magical props in the nightmare world, some of which have magical power, some can greatly enhance the strength of the experiencer, and some It can make you very rich in the real world."

Chang Shan looked confused.

"Let me give you an example. What are the novice missions you experienced as a newcomer?" Aliu was speaking to Chang Shan, but his eyes kept falling on Su Qian when he spoke, "The newcomers over there must also Make a note of the key points, next time you may not meet practitioners like me and Mr. Fang Hai."

Chang Shan probably didn't think there was anything wrong with Ah Liu's attitude, but felt that this short-haired girl was very enthusiastic and helpful.

So after sorting out the language, Chang Shan recalled: "The first time I entered the nightmare world, I was having dinner with my colleagues in a farmhouse in the suburbs. When I came back to my senses, I was already in the nightmare world. That nightmare The world is very similar to the suburban area where I live, but it is a dilapidated village that is very backward in all aspects..."

"Get to the point." Fang Hai, the man wearing glasses over there, seemed a little impatient.

"En." Chang Shan also nodded quickly, "The whole village is surrounded by thick fog, and there is no one in sight. Our task is to sleep in the village's ancestral hall for one night. The ancestral hall is very dilapidated, and the people in the village have disappeared. It seems that a funeral is going on, and there is a black and white photo of the old man in the middle of the ancestral hall, which is also the scariest thing in the whole mission."

"Although there is no one around, the incense candles around the black and white photos are not extinguished, and there is a letter on the table that looks like a suicide note. It says that if you want to stay in the ancestral hall after the sun goes down, you must close your eyes. You can open your eyes before the sun rises, and we do."

"If you open your eyes, what will happen?" A Liu's tone was a little curious.

But Chang Shan shuddered after hearing Ah Liu's curious question: "I, I couldn't help opening my eyes once in the middle, and then I saw... I saw the old man in the black and white photo walk away from the photo. Come out! Fortunately, I quickly closed my eyes, or I would have died!"

"It should be said that fortunately it is only a novice-level task." Fang Hai sneered, "There is such a clear task reminder as soon as you enter the nightmare world, it is really an honor for novices. You see, even if you accidentally fouled halfway As long as it is remedied in time, it can survive, and those who participated in the novice mission at that time should be lucky to survive, right?"

"I also heard that although the novice missions are all novice difficulty, there are still differences in difficulty between them. Yours is very easy." A Liu also agreed.

"Maybe." Chang Shan replied a little vaguely, maybe he didn't want his experience of surviving so hard, and it was just an easy task in the eyes of others, "But senior, you haven't talked about that prop yet."

"If you want me to say, that black and white photo is a prop that you can bring back from the nightmare world." A Liu looked at Su Qian seriously, "If you take that black and white photo away before leaving the nightmare world, say Maybe the next time I just take it out in the nightmare world, I can use the things in the black and white photos."

"Really?" Chang Shan shuddered a little, "but that thing... is really terrifying, half of its body is rotten."

"Yeah, most people who enter the nightmare world for the first time will be afraid, so even if the props in the first nightmare world are the best, almost no one will take those things away." A Liu spread his hands, "Afterwards Come to think of it, don’t regret it too much.”

"Even if you take it away, it's not necessarily a good thing." Fang Hai pushed his glasses, "In fact, things like black and white photos are not appropriate to call them props, because even if you do get them, they won't become obedient. The props, that kind of thing is always full of malice to the practitioners, maybe it will take your life when you wake up one night, but there is no more suitable name now."

mystery.

Su Qian suddenly remembered what the book of nightmares called those things.

"So that's the case." Chang Shan suddenly realized, and then looked at Fang Hai and A Liu, "Senior, you must have powerful props on you, right?"

"Shh!" Aliu immediately made a gesture of silence, "The props of every trainee are their trump cards, unless they show them themselves, they should never ask such questions."

Although A Liu immediately stopped her, Su Qian could see the smile on the corner of A Liu's mouth, which clearly came from the confidence in her own trump card.

Thinking of the previous confrontation with E0658-Candle Lantern, Su Qian felt that it is definitely not a bad thing for fellow trainees to have experience and cards. It would be even better if no one paid attention to him, a young rookie, during the whole process.

but……

"So, what's your name?" A Liu leaned in front of Su Qian again, with a smile on his face, "Am I right? You must never look at people by their appearance. When you were on the bus before, you also looked at it." Can't tell, I'm an experienced experiencer of the nightmare world, right? Hey, since I'm not an ordinary person, you're always willing to chat with me now, right?"

"It's started." Su Qian saw that the surrounding fog began to fade, and immediately changed the subject, "The mechanical voice should have a new reminder later, right?"

After the surrounding fog completely cleared, Su Qian realized that they were on the platform at the corner of the emergency staircase. It was a very narrow place. If the fat young man named Chang Shan took a step back accidentally just now, he might fall from the stairs. fall down.

"Ah!" Chang Shan who found himself on the edge of the stairs was also startled, and immediately grabbed the handrail of the stairs next to him.

"Where is this place? I should have been in the lobby of the building just now." Aliu looked around in surprise. The safety stairs of the building were a bit crude, making it impossible to integrate with the modern building outside.

"Before I entered the nightmare world, I seemed to have just got off the bus." Fang Hai looked at his phone and watch, and found that these things were malfunctioning as always, "Because I don't know how long I will stay in the nightmare world, I just gave up driving here. "

"Mansion? I seem to be just walking on the street." Chang Shan looked at a loss, "Where is this place?"

"The exit of the stairs below is full of mist, so it must be impossible to get out." Fang Hai looked at the exit of the stairwell on the first floor, "We can only keep going. I only hope that the stairs in this nightmare world will not be endless endless."

When the four trainees were walking upstairs, Su Qian always felt that something was missing, and it was only when she was almost on the second floor that Su Qian remembered... The mechanical sound that should have appeared for a second reminder seemed to have disappeared.

In the world of Spike Mirror and E0658, that mechanical voice would announce the mission the moment they entered the nightmare world.After the dense fog around the trainees clears, the mechanical voice will explain the simple background of the nightmare world to the trainees, and the trainees can even get hints from that voice.

But now the second reminder has not appeared for a long time...

Is it related to the unknown attribute of E0014?

Originally, Su Qian was also prepared to walk on the stairs for a long time, but to the surprise of the four trainees, they found that the exit of the stairwell on the second floor was not shrouded in fog as soon as they reached the second floor, and it was even as bright as During the day, you can still hear the sound of many leather shoes and high-heeled shoes walking around, and the phone rings from time to time.

There is also an exquisite sign posted on the door of the stairwell on the second floor - "Purchasing Department of Banxia Entertainment and Culture Company".

"The name of this entertainment company seems a little familiar." A Liu looked at the exquisite sign, and suddenly looked at Su Qian, "Isn't this the small agency you signed with?"

"..." Su Qian acquiesced.

"But I remember that this company is not on the second floor." Aliu was a little strange, "Although I don't remember which floor it is on, it definitely shouldn't appear on the second floor."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. How could a real company appear in the nightmare world? And this floor is just the purchasing department of the company, so it's not a small brokerage company in terms of scale." Fang Hai walked over first, "Anyway, let's start Go see."

As Fang Hai fully opened the half-open stairwell door, the first thing Su Qian saw was a poster facing them. hon star shao first duo alone

The woman in the red tight skirt is lying on the bed covered with white silk in a provocative posture. She has an overhanging figure and delicate makeup. The tear mole at the corner of her left eye and the long burgundy hair add to her charm. Those eyes looked straight ahead, as if they were staring at every trainee coming out of the stairwell.

Su Qian was stunned for a moment, he had actually seen the face of the woman in the poster.
