nightmare novelist

Either this Mr. Shen Jiang was extremely cautious and carried so-called props with him wherever he went, or this Mr. Shen Jiang came prepared.But anyway, the wall has been blasted a hole, and they... can go to the other side of the wall.

Xiao Yu's grandfather also stared at the hole dumbfounded, and didn't think of rushing in for a moment.

There are tall shrubs behind the wall, blocking them like a maze, making Su Qian and the others unable to see clearly what is going on behind the wall.But what Su Qian and the others could feel was that it was very quiet behind the wall, very quiet.

Even deathly silence.

Before, Su Qian thought that there was something strange on the fence, blocking the noisy and bustling sounds behind the fence, but she didn't expect that after entering the fence, she still couldn't hear any sound.

"It's so quiet." Su Qian said softly.

"Impossible." The old man was a little confused, "There are at least 200 people behind the wall! In the past, when there were only a dozen people left outside the wall, it was very lively every day."

"Old man, why don't you go back to accompany Xiao Yu first?" Xu Qingdai didn't know what to think, and suddenly told the old man who wanted to move on, "We will bring Xiao Yu's parents out."

"This..." The old man seemed hesitant.

"Don't worry, this gentleman is a powerful person who can even blow up this wall." Xu Qingdai smiled and pointed to Shen Jiang beside him.

The old man is still hesitating.

"Xiaoyu's mood is a little unstable, and he may not be able to read the book. It's better for the old man to accompany him." Su Qian also said, "The wall has been opened, and it will not be closed again, and the sculpture is not a one-off. .”

"Hey, those who go in won't come back, and I shouldn't go in." The old man finally nodded, "I'm waiting for news outside, just think of a good wish and leave us a letter."

The old man couldn't let go of the light rain, so he was naturally afraid of the "temptation" behind the wall, so it was reasonable to stop moving forward.

"Let's talk about some things first." Shen Jiang, the trainer over there, waved the unknown remote control in his hand, "I blasted this wall, because I don't know how many wishes this statue can make in three days. So I'll be the first to make a wish, understand?"

Shen Jiang relaxed a little, not as low-key as before.

"Anything you want." Su Qian listened to the old man's meaning, at least once in 24 hours, there will be a chance to make a wish, so there should be no need to worry too much.

There can be one more experimental reference object.

"Of course." Xu Qingdai also had no objection.

Shen Jiang made such a request, but when he entered the fence, he walked behind.After everyone walked into the maze of bushes, they still didn't hear any sound, and the surrounding leaves didn't seem to be blown, it could be said to be...a dead silence.

Just when Su Qian thought she couldn't hear anything, an unexpected mechanical sound sounded.

"You have missed six chances to make a wish, and the universal wishing machine is waiting to serve you."

Although it is also a mechanical sound, this sound is different from the mechanical sound heard when entering the nightmare world. Although the mechanical sound is indistinguishable from male and female, the reminder sound of the nightmare world seems to be softer and more feminine. The sound they hear now is Harder and more metallic.

Of course it's all the same emotionless.

Su Qian didn't know who the voice was talking to, but he could hear that this "universal wishing machine" was different from what he had imagined.The universal wishing machine in Su Qian's imagination is a statue that does not move at all, instead of the current one... quite energetic.

"Is that sculpture talking? Is it talking to us?"

"You have missed six chances to make a wish, and the universal wishing machine is still waiting to serve you."

Following the sound of the universal wishing machine, Su Qian and the others walked through the maze of bushes, and then looked at the scene in front of them like a bolt from the blue...

Sculptures like incomplete demons stand among hundreds of wooden crosses, like a terrible cemetery.The so-called traffic lights that the old man said turned out to be the eyes of that demon sculpture, which were shining with a faint green light at the moment.

Cross... cross... cross...

There are rough and low-quality crosses everywhere, some are straight, some are crooked, these crosses are made of different materials, and the knots used also come from various strange materials, but they are sandwiched between the villas and wanton growth. Among the weeds, the sense of weirdness lingered in Su Qian's vision.

What about people?

What about the hundreds of people behind the wall?

Also, who is that universal wishing machine talking to?

"Squeak, squeak—"

A wooden chair was placed behind the black incomplete statue, shaking and creaking again and again.Su Qian and the others took two steps to the side to see clearly that the person sitting on the broken chair was a woman, a skinny woman in a simple skirt, and she couldn't even tell how old she was.

Apart from her, there are only crosses and ruins around.

"There are new clients, the number is three, confirmed."

"Hello, the almighty wishing machine is at your service."

The twin green lights flickered, as if the wishing machine in front of them had discovered Su Qian and the others.

While Shen Jiang and Xu Qingdai were staring at the wishing machine, Su Qian walked around the sculpture to the lady sitting on the chair, looked into those empty and out-of-focus eyes, and asked softly— —

"Excuse me, where are the others? Where are Xiao Yu's parents?"

Maybe it was because of the voice of a stranger, the woman who seemed to have a mental problem raised her head to look at Su Qian, her eyes gradually became focused, she stood up with all her strength, her dry lips parted slightly: "Xiaoyu...and Xiaoyu Grandpa is here?"

"No." Su Qian shook her head, "We asked them to wait outside."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and she relaxed again: "No, don't let them in."

"Excuse me, is this your wish?" At this moment, the almighty wishing machine spoke.

"Not yet." The woman replied immediately.

"You asked me just now..." The woman looked at Su Qian, her eyes were bloodshot, "Where are Xiao Yu's parents?"

"Yes." Su Qian nodded.

"..." The woman opened her mouth, but she didn't say a word. After a long time, a strange smile appeared on her skinny face, "I, I am Xiaoyu's mother."

"Ah?" Not only Su Qian, but also Xu Qingdai from behind also made a surprised voice.

"No, it's not just me." The woman supported the chair, let her skinny body get up from the chair, and then stretched out her fingers to the hundreds of crosses behind her, "Everyone here is her father and mother."

"I don't understand." Su Qian looked at the countless crosses again. When she saw so many crosses, the first thing Su Qian thought of was a simple tomb, but these crosses were simply inserted into the ground, and there were no graves underneath. Any raised mounds, so that's not a reasonable guess.

"That child, as long as she can survive, we can do anything." The woman's eyes widened suddenly, and she grabbed Su Qian's clothes with all her strength, "She is the only one we have left."

Su Qian looked at the woman silently, recalling everything that happened after entering the nightmare world in her mind, and then asked with a calm expression: "It is raining outside and they have planted a lot of crops. The seeds, seedlings and those who have not The packaged food is all you... you got it from your wish?"

"Yes."

"What's the price?" Su Qian continued to ask.

"Price? Isn't there no price?" Shen Jiang next to him was puzzled.

"If there is no price, where are the people here?" Xu Qingdai's expression began to show pain, and she seemed to have thought of something.

The woman fell back into the chair as if she had no strength, then tilted her head and looked at the three people who appeared in front of her: "It's been a long time, no newcomers have appeared for a long time, has the gray fog outside disappeared?"

"Please give up such thoughts, the gray fog keeps spreading, the gray fog keeps swallowing, the gray fog keeps swallowing, the gray fog keeps spreading..." The voice that answered the woman turned out to be a voice from the black sculpture, weird as if it was broken Repeater.

"What's the price?" Su Qian continued to ask.

"It's expensive." The woman might just want to smile normally, but because her body is so skinny, the smile on her face is a little creepy, "Even simple food, you have to pay for it with your life. It will cost you Internal organs, you want your limbs, and finally your life, there is nothing left after a person dies, not even a handful of loess."

"This body of mine." The woman looked down, "There is only one last wish left, and it is still a worthless wish."

The people here... the cross here... the wish...

Su Qian's brain seems to have received too much information, but it is difficult for him to calm down and process the information when he is here. He urgently needs a quiet place.

A place to be quiet.

"According to the calculation of the universal wishing machine, the most suitable wish for the wisher is to repair the damaged wall, but you can't pay enough. Do you want to enable multi-person payment?"

"No." The woman refused again, and looked at the trainee in front of her, "Have you heard about this thing? Do you still want to make a wish now?"

"..." Su Qian began to think about how to leave this nightmare world with all four limbs intact on the premise of completing the task. She couldn't help touching the pocket with her right hand, and the small round mirror that could be used as a medium for the mirror was still there.

With the current ability of Wei Jing, even such a small mirror can allow him to enter the world in the mirror.

But Su Qian was not sure if doing so would help the task.

"I want to make a wish." Shen Jiang gritted his teeth suddenly from beside him. When he looked at the black statue, his eyes seemed to be on fire. "Don't fight with me. It is agreed that I will be the first to make a wish."

"It might take away your organs!" Xu Qingdai looked at Shen Jiang with some fear.

"I don't care." Shen Jiang himself was sweating coldly, but he looked at Su Qian and the others excitedly, "I am a trainee recruited by an organization, and this time the organization sent me here to wait for the nightmare world to come. I thought I would still meet such a good thing here!"

Su Qian's pupils narrowed, and he realized that Shen Jiang probably belonged to the same organization as Fang Hai Aliu.

"This organization has been looking for a very important thing, as long as it finds that thing..." Shen Jiang's face became more and more complicated, "Even if I find a clue to that thing, even if I am disabled, the rest of my life, My parents, my wife, and my three children will have more money than they can spend in their entire lives, and they won’t have to live frugally, rent an apartment, take the bus or subway, or even work for the rest of their lives!”

Shen Jiang seemed to have completed his self-persuasion, and immediately said to the black statue impatiently: "The universal wishing machine, I want to find a book!"

"Wisher, I'm afraid I need clearer instructions." The voice of the wishing machine was stiffer than the prompt, but more human-like.

"I, let me think about it, that book..." Shen Jiang almost bit the corner of his mouth, "That book is called the Book of Nightmare, but what I'm looking for is the first volume of it, please give me the first volume of the Nightmare Book! "

Obviously there was no wind flowing in this space, but Su Qian, who stood there with her eyes wide open, was stiff and felt a chill pouring over her whole body.

"I'm sorry, wisher, I'm afraid you can't pay the price of waiting."

"Tsk." Shen Jiang was not surprised, "Then give me clues about that book and tell me where it is!"

"Received your wish, the universal wish machine is serving you."

"The price is being liquidated."

"The settlement of the price is complete, and the almighty wishing machine welcomes the next wisher."

Su Qian and the others didn't hear anything, they only heard the sound of the Universal Wishing Machine's settlement, but Shen Jiang's face became more and more ugly.
