nightmare exec

"Where did that guy Qi Zhengnan die? Nothing will happen, right? Ha!"

The dungeon had an eerie atmosphere, and Qi Zhengnan was not in sight, so Song Yin was inevitably a little worried.But there was still lingering anger in his heart, he had to compete with himself every time he said a word, he was really tired and flustered.

Ergou quickly gave him an unexpected explanation: "Fehn is always online and can hear your voice. But he doesn't want to stir up your anger and resistance, so he deliberately avoided talking to you directly. Next, Erhu and I will be his spokespersons."

Although the brain was still suffering from the erosion of anger, Song Yin did feel a little bit guilty when he heard Qi Zhengnan begging for perfection.

"Please help me to find out where he is now. I can go find... beat... kill him!"

Oh, forget it.It doesn't matter how you say it, I believe Qi Zhengnan should be able to understand it.

"I'm outside now, in a desolate garden. It doesn't look like a park. I can see walls and buildings in the distance. Many plants nearby are dead, but it can be seen that they are basically southern varieties. There are fallen leaves all over the ground. , slippery and muddy, but no footprints, it looks like no one has been here in a long time."

Qi Zhengnan briefly described the scene in front of his assistant, Erhu, and then Erhu conveyed the words to Song Yin who was at the other end of the copy.

And just now, he has been paying attention to what happened to Song Yin through the team channel.

Because he knew how afraid Song Yin was of ghosts, Qi Zhengnan really broke out in a cold sweat for him when he was entangled by three white paper figures.But after all, it was beyond the reach of the whip. Fortunately, Song Yin survived without any danger, and unexpectedly deduced the hypothesis about "multiple personalities".

Qi Zhengnan also agreed with this assumption - he has several times more actual combat experience than Song Yin.There are more than two-handed double copies processed.Generally speaking, this kind of dungeon has two major characteristics: First, the dungeon in the dungeon is highly concealed and often cannot be detected in advance.Second, the dream masters of the double-layer copy are generally patients with schizophrenia.

The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to be upset about, anyway, just continue to solve it.However, what Qi Zhengnan really cares about is another new and deeper problem——

"What caused Suspect A's split personality, and what is the origin of the split personality?"

Perhaps, this is also the key to catching the dream stowaway and even solving the entire serial murder case.

Qi Zhengnan's words were relayed to Song Yin through the mouth of the two tigers, and Song Yin also began to talk to him through the air: "These three personalities of suspect A are 100% prototypes! And the prototypes are most likely dead, so it's just a matter of death." It will appear in the dream in the form of a paper figurine paying homage to the dead. And the dungeon we are in now must have a real prototype, maybe it is the place where these three paper people stayed before... Hurry up and look for it, the dungeon must be Contains clues about their identities!"

"Understood, I'll first find out what this place is." While speaking, Qi Zhengnan had already moved.

He walked along the muddy tree-lined path to the end, and a pond appeared in front of him.Aquatic white flowers of unknown species bloomed on the oily green water.

And in the center of the pond is a sculpture covered in moss.Different from the Western goddesses or Chinese-style rockery that are common in pools, this group of cement sculptures is an adult woman holding two children, facing the east and smiling in the wind. The style is simple but rustic, with an aesthetic of the 70s and [-]s style.

"Two Tigers, search the database for the source of the statue."

Not long after Qi Zhengnan put forward the order, the assistant officer sent a definite feedback: "This statue was donated by a businessman 60 years ago, and it was placed in the back garden of the Tzu Chi Welfare Institute."

"The orphanage?" Qi Zhengnan quickly had a guess, "Is suspect A..."

"According to the information, suspect A lived in the Tzu Chi Welfare Institute before he was five years old. This is where he is right."

"How is this welfare home now?"

"Due to the depletion of nearby groundwater sources and land subsidence, the old site of the orphanage was abandoned 15 years ago. Since then, the orphanage has been operating at the new site for five years and has also been closed."

"What is the reason for closing?"

"Falsely reporting the number of orphans and defrauding state subsidies."

"Has there been any criminal cases?"

"Searching the archives for the past 30 years, there have been fires, accidents with young children, but no large-scale scandals."

"Can you find a photo of suspect A when he was in the orphanage, preferably a group photo."

At Qi Zhengnan's request, a group of photos appeared in Qi Zhengnan's field of vision.

The most eye-catching one is a group photo. In the picture, there are seven or eight teenagers of the same age, all wearing short-sleeved shirts, the boys are suits and shorts, and the girls are short skirts.

"Why is this outfit exactly the same as what I'm wearing now! I'm wearing children's clothes?" The same photo was pushed to Song Yin, and he immediately yelled in the team channel.

Um?Something seems wrong.Qi Zhengnan was stunned for a moment: "You don't have all the equipment on your body, how can you still see these photos? No, you don't even have earphones, how can you keep talking with Ergou..."

"How do I know that?!"

Song Yin was also confused: "Anyway, it's okay, it's like I'm wearing all the equipment, but I can't see it or touch it...don't mention how strange it is!"

Listening to his description, Qi Zhengnan suddenly thought of a word that might not be scientific, but it was really appropriate.

"Have you been hit by a ghost?"

The so-called ghost hitting the wall roughly refers to the strange phenomenon that people who walk at night are blinded by ghosts and cannot find the right path.Song Yin's current situation is somewhat similar - those advanced equipment are very likely to still be worn on him, but his brain has been disturbed by "ghosts", so he turns a blind eye and feels nothing when he touches it.And this means that Song Yin is not only unable to use weapons to attack, but even the combat uniform cannot fully exert its defensive effect-it has been proved by experiments that under the premise of not encountering substantial damage, strong enough traumatic psychological hints are the same. It can make the person who accepts the suggestion enter a near-death state.

"Qi Zhengnan, you nonsense, how dare you say I'm obsessed with ghosts?!"

Song Yin's fierce protest sounded in the earphones soon: "Then what should I do now? Bit the tip of my tongue, swear, or draw a few Taoist symbols to ward off evil? Or... Gouzi, play me a Great Compassion Curse." ?”

These are obviously just feudal superstition activities. Qi Zhengnan shook his head resolutely, and told Erhu his suggestion: "If the so-called ghosts are the three paper figurines haunting Song Yin, then the most urgent task is to find out the corresponding characters of these three personalities as soon as possible." The story and the inside story. The police in the world will not make any progress in the short term, and the scope of the dungeon is too large, so it is easy to do useless work. The most important clue right now...maybe the three paper figurines."

"What? Let me open the door and study those three paper figurines?!"

Song Yin almost lost his temper: "Qi Zhengnan, are you crazy? That's a ghost! You actually asked me to go see a ghost? Why don't you just tell me to die?!"

"Calm down." Ergou, who was in charge of communicating with him, tried to reason: "How do you feel now when you hear the words Qi Zhengnan?"

"Still super invincible angry!" Song Yin gritted his teeth, "Although I don't know why!"

"The reason is that you were infected by the owner of the dream, that is, Suspect A, and you have the breath of Suspect A on your body. It is precisely because of this that those three paper people will always follow you—the current you are equivalent to them. Three main personalities. They will not hurt you, please trust my judgment!"

Song Yin did fully trust the judgment made by Ergou as an artificial intelligence.But in this matter, he felt that there should be a safer solution.

"Gouzi, can you go and see the characteristics of those paper figurines for me?! Anyway, you can see the whole dungeon!"

"It's not the entire dungeon, but the area you've passed through. In this dungeon, because you've been huddled in the cubicle to hold quail, my field of vision has only opened up half the toilet."

Ergou corrected it sternly: "Now, these three paper figures are all glued to the back of the door panel, facing you motionless, even I don't have the kind of clairvoyance to see their fronts."

"Alas!!"

Song Yin looked at the door panel in front of him and shivered suddenly.But it also made him realize one thing - now that he was nestled in the small toilet cubicle, he had no choice at all.

"Although the equipment is invisible, my dungeon protection mechanism... is still effective, right?" Song Yin asked in a low voice before opening the door with her hand on the latch.

"Don't worry." Ergou gave him a reassurance, "If something really happens, I can definitely take you back to Purgatory intact."

"Oh, I believe your evil."

Although he was still very reluctant, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, Song Yin still bit the bullet and pushed the door open with a creak.

Without any suspense, the three paper figurines were floating outside the toilet cubicle without moving.The two black hole-like eyeballs on the pale face were painted on, but it always felt like they were staring at people.

Song Yin's white hair was covered in cold sweat one after another, and goosebumps came and went one after another.At the same time, he kept murmuring something in his mouth—but those were not scriptures, but a series of upside-down dirty words.

I don't know if Ergou's judgment is correct again, or if swearing can really ward off evil spirits, in short, those paper figurines really remained motionless, allowing Song Yin to move towards them step by step.

According to the suggestion Qi Zhengnan conveyed to Erhu, Song Yin began to bite the bullet and observe the detailed features of the three paper figurines.

I really don't know if I don't look at it. From a distance, the paper figurines, which look no different from horror movie props, actually use some special paper.Song Yin could recognize it immediately, including used printing paper, old newspapers, medical records, and a kind of letterhead that looked pure white but had "Tzu Chi Welfare Institute" in large red characters.

The appearance of the headed paper proved once again that the copy of the dream had indeed been switched to the orphanage.And the identities of the three paper figurines are more likely to be people that suspect A knew when he lived in the orphanage 20 years ago.

In the dead silence of the sound of the needle falling, Song Yin held her breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and continued to study all kinds of information on the paper figurine.

Like the three "tenants" of Suspect A in the real world, the paper figurines are also two men and one woman.Although the three of them are all adults, they are all wearing the same short-sleeved uniforms as Song Yin at this time, and they should obviously be children who have been taken in here.

Among the three, the one closest to Song Yin was the female paper figurine.She has a very common haircut, and the painted facial features don't seem to have any obvious features.

It was obviously a paper figurine, but she was soaked from head to toe. The liquid came from nowhere, dripping down from the paper figurine's hair, arms, clothes, and legs, and accumulated on the ground in a short while. beach reflective.

"...It seems to have a fishy smell." Song Yin boldly approached the female paper figurine, and whispered his feelings, "It's not tap water, it feels more like river water, or a lake...ah!"

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly let out a cry.

"What's wrong?!" Qi Zhengnan's heart suddenly rose into his throat.

After a while, Song Yin didn't say anything more.Qi Zhengnan's uneasiness snowballed.

He thought about it for a while, and instead of asking Erhu to help relay the situation, he simply opened a small video window and projected the real-time video from the toilet on the road in front of him.

When the projection lighted up, even though he was as bold and calm as him, his heart skipped a beat.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a close-up of the face of a paper man.In the center of the pale cheeks, which looked like a thick layer of white powder, were two clusters of extremely unnatural blush.Under the thin and thick eyebrows, there are two dark eyes like holes.

And the paper figurine's blood-red lips were actually open, inside it seemed to be a black hole, but there was a steady stream of water spewing out from its mouth.

Qi Zhengnan was stunned for a second, and suddenly realized that what he saw was Song Yin's perspective.Moreover, judging from the direction of the water flow, the paper figurine was so immortal that it just fell on Song Yin's body.

It's over, what if Song Yinzhen is frightened and crazy?

"Erhu, tell me the current location of Shan Die!" He didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to rush over as soon as possible and drive those paper figurines away.

The assistant officer reported a series of copy coordinates, which were still far away from Qi Zhengnan's current location.But it has studied the layout of the orphanage and calculated the shortest path between the two executives.

After turning on the VR route navigation, Qi Zhengnan immediately started rushing towards the toilet where Song Yin was.However, just after walking a few steps, the sound of the person he cares about finally came from his earphones.

"Cough, cough, cough..." There was a series of violent coughs at first, followed by a few gasps.

"God Amitabha bless the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Song Yin's voice was still a little trembling when he came back to his senses, "My old life is almost scared to death!"

The author has something to say: There is no direct dialogue between Qi Zhengnan and Song Yin in this chapter, and all the dialogues are between cats and dogs.

Erhu: I'm so tired.

Ergou: Me too.

Erhu: Take your hands away!

Ergou: I need to decompress, let me masturbate.

Erhu: Get out! ! !
