nightmare novelist

He looked up at the mysterious manor where the shadow of the building was faintly revealed under the moonlight. The lights on the wall pillars flickered on and off. Every movement in the wind and grass was full of reality, and it was completely a real world.

It even made Su Qian feel more real than the real world.

Under the moonlight and the dim light of the wall pillars, the carved fence of the big iron gate in front of Su Qian left a reflection on them, trapping all the trainees like a huge cage.The manor building, which was still far away from them, looked like a terrifying ghost shadow in the middle of the night, accompanied by the whistling sound of the cold wind, which made people's scalp numb.

The iron door, which had been ajar all along, was blown by the surrounding cold wind, shaking slightly, making an unpleasant creaking sound.

The girls in school uniform with ponytails and the man in suits seemed to be attracted, and subconsciously walked towards the iron gate, but just as they stretched out their hands and were about to touch the iron gate, the voice of the young bride suddenly came from behind .

"Are you really going in?" The lady in the wedding dress stood not far from Su Qian, "Or, do you think that door will be safer than now?"

The middle-aged man and the girl with ponytail who originally wanted to open the door stopped immediately after hearing what the other said.

"The little brother over there just repeated that this 'Nightmare World' needs us to get rid of ten demons before letting us go. Those demons... should be in the manor, right?" The bride glanced at the oversized thick skinned Su Qian, who was standing not far away from the book, said, "Ghost, is it the one in 'Ghosts and Monsters'? It seems to be the ghost spirit in ancient legends."

"Coupled with the name 'Nightmare World', we are likely to encounter some unnatural events that usually only appear in nightmares after we walk in." A vigilant expression appeared on the bride's face, "I haven't done it yet." Get ready for that."

Hearing her words, the other two trainees quickly took a few steps back again.

At this moment, the only light source is the wall post lamp and moonlight next to the iron gate of the manor. Only the gate and the trainees standing not far from the gate can be illuminated. If they continue to retreat, they will retreat into the unknown darkness .

The manor gate is scary, but so is the unknown darkness.

"I haven't introduced myself yet." Perhaps in order to ease the increasingly tense atmosphere, the bride raised her hand to take off the troublesome lace veil and flower ornaments, and said while combing her neat short hair, "My name is Bai Kou, the cardamom's Kou , the public relations manager of a small company, was planning to get married before coming here."

From the tone of this manager Bai, it can be heard that the company she works for is not as simple as a "small company".

"My name is Ding Xiang." The girl named Ding Xiang subconsciously glanced at Su Qian, "I'm a senior in high school and a member of the school's sprint team, so I have more confidence in my physical fitness."

"Eucommia, uncle Ji's Zhong." The man in the suit was not in the mood to introduce too much, but subconsciously moved away from Su Qian. After all, he was the only one among the three trainees who saw the blank pages of the book in Su Qian's arms.

How can normal people read books in such a place?

How can a normal person read a completely blank book?

The man in the suit looked like he really didn't want to act with a few other people, but he knew that acting alone might be more dangerous, so even with a face full of urination, he still stood tremblingly and listened to Bai Kou and the others.

After the three trainees introduced themselves, they looked at Su Qian together.

"Su Qian, deep and shallow, is also a senior high school student." Su Qian looked down at the strange and strange thick leather book in her arms, her tone was calm, and she seemed to have no emotional ups and downs, "I am interested in reading various horror-themed works. I will also start to write some."

"If you write a horror novel, you must have a lot of guts, right?" The bride Bai Kou still looked at the gate of the manor warily from time to time. At some point, the area illuminated by the wall post lights had some faint fog.

These faint mist gradually gathered, became thicker, and was extending in their direction.

"Boldness should mean that you can hold on to something frightening without shrinking back, right? My situation is more like no matter how many horror-themed works I watch, it is difficult to feel the emotion of 'fear'." Su Qian Qian's tone was still calm, he lowered his head and reached out to brush the cover of the thick book, the cold touch seemed to have the power to make people calmer.

The temperature around Su Qian also seemed to be a little lower than usual, and I don't know if it was because of the cold wind at night in the Nightmare World or for some other reason.

"It doesn't seem to be a bad thing." The girl Ding Xiang whispered.

"So the reason for writing horror novels is to write something that can scare me?" The bride Bai Kou looked at Su Qian with a strange look.

"In the beginning, I really thought about it like this. After I found out that it was useless work, it became a pure interest." Although Su Qian always gave people a feeling of indifference and alienation, she didn't reject communicating with others, and she was very interested after entering the nightmare world. , said a little more than usual.

"After all, it should be some unknown existence that can cause fear to most people, and every story or even every word written by the creator has nothing to do with 'unknown'. The creator is very clear about the theme of the story, The background of the story, the origin of the ghosts and even the deep meaning behind the whole story, all the unknowns that can cause fear have become known, how can you scare yourself?"

"It's the same reason that forensic doctors are not afraid of dead bodies."

The eloquent conversation was interrupted very suddenly, which made the atmosphere quiet again.

"That's right, if we can know what's in the manor in advance, we don't have to stand here and pretend to be calm by chatting." Bai Kou looked at the thicker and thicker fog around him, and still had no intention of entering the manor, "I hope to eliminate the evil spirits." This kind of thing doesn't require much force, otherwise the only weapon I can use is the heel."

"We are surrounded by weapons, and the only book that looks like a brick in that little brother's hand may be the only one." The middle-aged Du Zhong looked at the thick leather book in Su Qian's hand, and clenched his fists to calm himself down, "Brother The pages of that book seem to be blank, without any content, so it wasn’t originally used as a weapon, right?”

Hearing what Du Zhong said, the other trainees looked at Su Qian with dubious expressions. Although they didn't know what they were thinking, Su Qian's image should have become even weirder in their opinion.

Is that book...really blank?

"Are we really going to wait here forever?"

The atmosphere became tense again, but Bai Kou was still not ready to enter the manor: "As long as we don't enter the manor, the initiative is still on our side, I..."

Before Bai Kou finished speaking, Su Qian, who was holding the book, saw an unusual reflection above her, something as sharp as a blade was falling vertically towards the top of the young bride's head.

The "blade" was only discovered by Su Qian after it entered the range of the light source, as if it would pierce Bai Kou in the next second.

Nervous, unknown, excited, joyful...

All kinds of strange emotions are intertwined in Su Qian's mind, a strong emotion that has never appeared in the life of ordinary people for eight years begins to breed in Su Qian's mind, like some kind of mechanism or catalyst, it starts to activate Su Qian quickly A part of the body that has been dormant for a long time.

The heart that had been silent for a long time began to beat again!

This is not an exaggerated rhetoric, but because Su Qian has always had a problem with bradycardia, and his heart rate is even much slower than those cases known to his adoptive parents' doctor friends. There is no heartbeat at all!

The strange thing is that Su Qian's body and spirit have always been in good condition, and she has not shown any possible symptoms of bradycardia, and is even healthier than ordinary people.

Only Su Qian knew that this was a disease.

It was this disease that made him a "failed experiment" in the eyes of a certain organization, and it was this disease that made Su Qian abandoned by a certain organization because of his loss of mobility.

For so many years, Su Qian has been trying his best to study the strange disease on his body, but in the end there is only one discovery, that is, the sudden fear stimulus and the subsequent excitement can make his heart beat faster for a short time.

His physical condition can also briefly return to what it was before the illness.

Su Qian, who once "killed" a bloody path among a large number of experimental subjects in a certain organization, eventually became the most powerful experimental subject in the eyes of the organization.

Seeing that the "blade" was about to pierce Bai Kou's body, Su Qian, who recovered her heartbeat, rushed to Bai Kou's side at an unimaginable speed, holding the book in one hand, and grabbed her arm with the other hand, and dragged her towards her. safe direction.

In the eyes of others, Su Qian, who is not short but thin, just moved lightly, and Bai Kou, who was wearing a heavy wedding dress, lifted her feet off the ground like light paper dolls, and the large skirt decorated with layers of light gauze looked like petals It swayed, and then fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".

"Bah!"

Before the other trainees came back to their senses, the "blade" that fell from the sky directly hit the ground where Bai Kou was standing before, allowing Su Qian to see its true face clearly.

"What is that?" Du Zhong, the man in a suit, was taken aback.

"It's a fragment of the mirror." After seeing the true appearance of "Blade", Su Qian frowned slightly, and her heart rate that had just returned to normal for a short time began to slow down again in an instant. And feel powerless for a moment.

It's like the sense of drop caused by the cheetah being transformed back into a cat in an instant.

"Bah!"

Another "blade" fell from the sky and landed on Su Qian's side.If the place where the debris landed was slightly shifted, Su Qian, who was a little weak at the moment, might be hit directly and lose his life!

The fragments of the mirror that hit the ground were as sharp as a blade, and the iron gate of the manor and the flickering wall post lamps behind Su Qian and the others could be clearly seen in the reflection of the mirror.

"Bah!"

The fragments of the third mirror fell on the girl Ding Xiang's feet, scratching the worn running shoes on her feet.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the middle-aged man Du Zhong suddenly shouted out of fright even though he was not attacked.

"Leave here immediately and go to the manor." Bai Kou, who was holding a wedding dress, got up in a panic and said loudly, "I was wrong, the initiative is impossible on our side! The reason why these fragments attacked us is very It may be because we have not entered the manor for a long time!"

Without waiting for Bai Kou to explain again, the three trainees who had ignited the desire to survive rushed towards the gate of the manor at the fastest speed, and the flickering wall post lights became their guideposts.The sound of mirror shards crashing into the ground continued to be heard behind the three trainees, but no one wanted to look back. They just pushed open the half-hidden gate of the manor desperately and rushed in.

Under such circumstances, no one noticed that Su Qian, who was extremely agile when saving Bai Kou before, was still staying in place!

However, many mirror fragments that fell from the sky chased the three escaped practitioners, which also dispersed the danger that Su Qian had to face.

Although she was left behind, Su Qian knew that he had to go to the manor.

He didn't know what the nightmare world was, or where the gray fog came from, but his strange intuition told Su Qian that he might be able to find a "cure" here.

Moreover, the world in the gray fog always gives Su Qian a strange feeling. This feeling makes Su Qianming know that something is wrong with the world in the gray fog, but she can't help but approach the gray fog.This feeling is as if the sunny world behind Su Qian is false, and the dilapidated world shrouded in gray mist and night is his real destination...

In any case, the answer must be hidden in the gray fog.

Hide in this nightmare world.
