nightmare exec

Song Yin has a secret that she doesn't intend to tell anyone.A big secret that he was serious about taking into the urn.

That is, he is afraid of ghosts.

In Song Yin's private dictionary, ghosts in a narrow sense generally refer to all non-creatures that look like humans, have hideous and strange appearances, and can move around without power devices.

Ghosts in a broad sense also include all demons and ghosts played by humans and driven by machinery.

Unfortunately, he's afraid of both—which, as a grown man, is a bit embarrassing.

Song Yin is not the only one who knows this secret.The one who also holds this secret is of course Qi Zhengnan.

To be more precise, "Even people who pretend to be ghosts are afraid" - this is what Song Yin discovered by accident when he was with Qi Zhengnan.

It was his first Halloween after arriving in the United States.Qi Zhengnan's gang of cronies rented an abandoned hotel known as a haunted house for a party.Song Yin, dressed as a little devil, was chased by two zombies and bumped into Qi Zhengnan, who was dressed as a pirate. As a result, the devil and the pirate hugged each other and fell into the swimming pool.

The second time, Song Yin took advantage of Qi Zhengnan's opportunity to shoot a print magazine, and traveled to Japan together in the name of "free assistant".There is a world-famous hospital haunted house in Fuji-Q Highland, one of the filming locations.At that time, Song Yin went in with Qi Zhengnan because of his stubborn mouth, but in the end, he almost hung on Qi Zhengnan's body and was dragged out by half dragging and half hugging.

Because of the above painful experiences, Song Yin secretly conducted "ghost film training" for a period of time.But he soon discovered that this so-called reinforcement was useless at all—he was looking for things on Netflix every now and then, but he hadn't even watched a complete ghost movie from beginning to end.

Of course, it's not entirely his fault that he can't finish watching ghost movies.In order to strengthen his courage, he often dragged his only roommate, Qi Zhengnan, to watch it together.But often the movie is only halfway through, and Qi Zhengnan, who has no interest in this kind of subject, will tilt his head and fall asleep, and occasionally snore a few times, making Song Yin scared and disappointed, so he can only let it go.

In the past few months after coming to Purgatory, Song Yin has also come into contact with several dungeons of humanoid monsters—the most famous one is of course the super dungeon not long ago.Obviously, it was a personal experience that was a thousand times more terrifying than the movie, but maybe it was because of being fully armed to give a sense of security, or because teammates encouraged each other, Song Yin didn't feel scared, and even won an MVP.

In short, he thought that his "fear of ghosts" should have been cured, until this moment——

At this moment, he was standing alone in an old, dirty, dark men's room.The ground is full of stains in the east and west, the ceiling above the head is dripping with water, and the sharp whistling sound from the water pipes can be heard from time to time.

The dirty environment can only make people feel uncomfortable, but what really makes Song Yin "crash" is standing only three or four meters away from him.

There were two "ghosts" on the left and one on the right, all without touching the ground, facing the wall and floating in the darkness by the toilet door.The darkness outlines their tattered clothes, disheveled hair and crooked figures.That thin and misshapen body seemed to have only a handful of dry bones left, which would turn into dust with just a slight touch.

But even such a "fragile" image is enough to make Song Yin's heart beat faster, calf cramps, goose bumps and white hair cold sweat take turns in Song Yin who is afraid of ghosts.

...What is the situation now, what the hell is this place?Where did Qi Zhengnan go again?Still not escorting? !

Thinking of this name, Song Yin, who was trembling just a second ago, suddenly became angry again.Although he knew that this kind of anger did not belong to him, he couldn't suppress it, and he must vent it.

Just now, under the instigation of this kind of anger, he gnawed Qi Zhengnan twice, and even wanted to stab someone with a knife.Now that the two are temporarily separated, it may be a good thing.

Just as he thought of this, he suddenly heard Ergou's voice coming from the earphone: "Shandie, can you hear me?"

Song Yin was immediately excited by the call of his relatives. He opened his mouth to respond, but he was afraid of the two Ah Piao who were standing at the door, so he tiptoed back two steps.

To his right was a row of washbasins with a length of four to five meters, and a broken mirror with a width of three to four meters was hung.

In this row of mirrors, Song Yin suddenly caught a glimpse of a moving object out of the corner of his eye.He gasped, before realizing it was just his own reflection.

But the reflection was really weird—the battle suit on his body and the weapon on his waist all disappeared and replaced them.It's a short-sleeved shirt and suit shorts.It looks like an overage kid who has been repeating grades in kindergarten for almost 20 years.

How did this happen?

Song Yin fumbled for the clothes on his body, confirmed that the pockets were empty, and suddenly felt a "thump" in his heart: I obviously don't have earphones on my head, why can I still hear Ergou talking just now?

Before he had time to figure it out, he suddenly discovered something even more terrifying——

Just behind him, in the toilet cubicle less than two meters away, floated another ghost, also with its head down and its back turned to him.

Song Yin was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack, and abruptly stopped her backward steps.

It's a pity that it was too late—through the mirror, he clearly saw the ghost swaying from side to side twice, floating out of the toilet cubicle with its feet dragging the ground in a strange manner, and coming towards him...

There are wolves in front and tigers in back, and there are no weapons in their hands.Song Yin, who was at a loss what to do, was almost going crazy, so he could only stay where he was and hold the quail with his neck tightened.

He was so scared that he closed his eyes, but the unlucky Er Gouzi was still rolling the live broadcast of the scene in his ear.

"Don't move, the ghost has floated behind you. It is back to back with you."

"It turned around little by little."

"It puts its head on your shoulder."

"It opened its mouth as if to speak to you."

"..."

Song Yin swore that she heard nothing but Ergou's nagging and the water pipe's continuous screaming.He closed his eyes tightly, wishing he could sew up Ergou's mouth first, and then find a needle and thread to sew his upper and lower eyelids together.

But there was indeed a bone-chilling chill over his right shoulder, as if a large piece of dry ice was rubbing against his back.

Without a weapon, and unable to say any decent scripture spells, Song Yin could only hold his breath and pretend that he was an inanimate object.

After another four or five seconds, the terrible cold air dissipated a little, and Ergou also reminded Song Yin to open his eyes to see his current situation.

Although he was still too scared, it was not an option to keep his eyes closed.So after reluctantly finishing some psychological construction, Song Yin opened his eyes tremblingly.

When he opened it, he almost cried out of fright.

Just now, he was still rubbing that ghost behind his back, but now he has turned to the front of him.It tilted its upper body, its flat pale face was only ten centimeters away from the tip of Song Yin's nose, as if it was observing intently.

The reason why I say "as if" is because that ghost thing doesn't have real eyes at all...

Presumably where the eyes should be, two black and white eyeballs were drawn with ink.

In fact, it's not just the eyes, the nose, mouth, ears, and even the hair on the head of this ghost are all crookedly drawn with a brush—this is, at root, a life-sized paper-stitched man!

Song Yin's little heart was beating wildly again, and his head was spinning.He held his breath, and stared at the paper man for about two or three seconds, only to see the paper man quietly circled him again and floated back behind him.

Which song is this... again? !

Song Yinzheng was inexplicably surprised, and heard Ergou's reminder again, telling him to look in the mirror again.

Although his intuition would be frightened again, Dingyin still bit the bullet and followed suit.Immediately afterwards, his scalp tingled and he saw the paper man stretch out two pairs of paper hands as thin as bamboo chopsticks, one on the left and one on the right on his shoulders.

"It didn't look like it was aggressive."

Although Ergou made a harmless judgment, it couldn't stop Song Yin from fighting and losing his soul.

What was even worse was that the two ghosts who were guarding the door just now also started to float towards him.

There is no suspense, both of them are paper figurines, and they floated around Song Yin one by one, and then attached to his back.

The current situation...is very strange.

Song Yin felt as if he had become a corpse chaser in Xiangxi legend.It's just that what they chased were corpses, and what they brought with them were paper puppets.

Although looking in the mirror, the three paper figurines followed Song Yin like a string of kites, but apart from the chill behind him, Song Yin didn't have any worse reactions for the time being.

The matter has come to this point, and it is not an option to continue trembling like this.

Taking a few deep breaths, Song Yin tried to take a step while paying attention to the reaction of the paper figurine behind him.

There was almost no resistance, and through the mirror he could see the paper figurines taking a step forward with him.

Yaoshou, this is the rhythm of going on the road with him...

Song Yin screamed in her heart. After collapsing for about three or four seconds, she suddenly had a good idea.

He immediately acted, and carefully turned a corner in the toilet with the bunch of paper figurines, walking towards the toilet cubicle.After entering the compartment, he quickly closed the door, keeping the three paper figurines out.

"call……"

Although the compartment is narrow and closed, at least it doesn't need to be glued to those three scary things.Song Yin took a heavy breath, only to realize that his back was covered with cold sweat.

After a few more seconds, after confirming that the paper figurine had no intention of breaking in, Song Yin finally tried to speak cautiously.

"Two, two, two dogs... What's going on?"

"This is a double-layer dream. You just entered the inner layer from the surface layer. Academically it is called a shear."

To Song Yin's confusion, Ergou always answered meticulously: "Generally speaking, when invading human dreams, stowaways will release a special mental stabilizer. This substance can stabilize dreams. To facilitate their dormancy and passage in dreams.

"However, high-level dungeons occasionally undergo shearing. The reason for the shearing often has little to do with the stowaway, but has a very close relationship with the dream master."

Song Yin listened to the earphones and had to pay attention to the movement outside the door. He couldn't help being a little annoyed: "You dog, talk to the point! Then what kind of person would cause the dream to change?"

"It's mental instability! Suspect A is likely to have a split personality, and may even have multiple personalities!"

For no reason, Ergou suddenly yelled loudly, scaring Song Yin to pull off the earphones.

"What are you doing? You took the wrong medicine!" He gasped, "Why are you so loud all of a sudden?"

"It's you who asked me to focus." The artificial intelligence threw a cold joke that was colder than his tone.

"...Are you sick?!" Song Yin laughed dumbfounded, and it took a while to realize that Ergou had deliberately sold his stupidity in order to ease his nervousness.

If an artificial intelligence can do this, is it a human or a machine?

Of course, this question is not suitable for discussion at this time.

In any case, Ergou's cold joke did play a role.At least Song Yin felt that she was no longer so tense that her muscles ached.

"Multiple personalities..."

He muttered to himself and mentioned another question: "As mentioned in the previous background information, the police believe that suspect A did not commit the crime alone. He may have an assistant, right?"

"The police found a large number of clothing, utensils, and even cosmetics and women's clothing in the guest room of Suspect A's home. Moreover, items of different styles were placed in different rooms, and even the furnishings and styles of the rooms were completely different. Suspect A seems to be cohabiting with many people, so there is a high possibility of being an accomplice."

These details added by Ergou further supported Song Yin's inner guess.He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to ask: "Those suspected accomplices, do they also happen to be three people?"

"Yes. There are three rooms, two men and one woman. Surveillance near Suspect A's house has also captured images of these three people. But these three people have always been alone, and they have never been with Suspect A. At the crime scene, apart from the traces left by suspect A and some victims, no third-party biological samples were found."

"So, these three people may just be partners imagined by suspect A, but they are actually multiple personalities split from his personal consciousness."

Song Yin's brain was wide open in an instant: "I think...the three paper figures stuck behind my back should represent the three personalities of suspect A. And the reason why they follow me...I'm afraid it's because the tattered rabbit treats me The breath I blew caused me to be infected by the dream master."

Speaking of anger, he immediately remembered the man who had suffered his anger for no reason.

"Where's Qi Zhengnan? It's been so long, why hasn't he said a word?!"

The author has something to say: Song Yin: My dog ​​is out of school!

Ergou: I'm just learning from you humans

Song Yin: I always feel that you will become a very vile and black-bellied human being

Ergou: No matter how vile or black-bellied I am, I will not be your enemy.

Qi Zhengnan: Did you forget about me? !The chapter Bullying Me is not online, is it?Erhu, scratch him!
