[Infinite Horror] Xiao Ran

"What are you talking about?" Lu Ling looked at Chu Xiaoran in confusion, "It's just the two of us, and Cheng Xiao is going out together...Who is Ming Yanwei?"

"Is that so, Ming Yanwei also disappeared..." Chu Xiaoran didn't react too much, but nodded calmly.

Now it's their No. 13 day in the first-level dreamland. Overlord, Zhan Lan, and Ye An'an have disappeared one after another, and half of the twelve people have disappeared.Although the rest of the people remembered that Chu Xiaoran told them that their teammates were disappearing, it seemed that as long as Chu Xiaoran didn't mention it, they couldn't remember it at all.It was just time to go out to buy things, and Ming Yanwei also disappeared from everyone's sight and memory.

"But why...why am I the only one who remembers it?" Chu Xiaoran frowned, "It doesn't make sense..."

She absent-mindedly played with the oval pendant containing the infinite sapphire between her fingers. The gem showed a slight blue color in the gap of the pendant. This was not done by her with rune power, but simply because this was her dream. She can control everything.

But why can't everyone else...

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, Chu Xiaoran strode into the living room, where Xiao Honglu was holding a tablet computer and looking at something, heard the sound and raised his head.Chu Xiaoran said bluntly: "Do you remember that we discussed the setting of Inception? Do you remember that in the movie, there can only be one dream master in a dream?"

Xiao Honglu was taken aback, and jumped up from the sofa: "You mean——!"

"That's right." Chu Xiaoran said quickly, "I am the dream master."

"Yes yes yes, this completely makes sense!" Xiao Honglu pulled out a strand of hair excitedly, "Yes...Zhao Yingkong, Cheng Xiao, I should be in the Pacific Rim...the four you said disappeared before personal?"

"They are all too." Chu Xiaoran nodded, affirming.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Cheng Xiao interrupted, "I can't understand a single word..."

"Everyone sit down." Chu Xiaoran slightly raised her voice.The remaining six people formed a circle around the coffee table, Chu Xiaoran raised her hand to stop Xiao Honglu.

"Let me tell you." She said, "Currently, our conjecture is like this—both Xiao Honglv and I think this is the truth: we are currently in the first-level dream, and the owner of the dream is me. That is to say, we Everyone is in a dream right now, but it is in my dream, so I can manipulate everything in the dream freely, and none of you can. Of course, Freddy must also know that I am difficult to deal with, but he You chose me as the dream master because I resurrected you..."

Her eyes scanned the crowd, "Zhao Yingkong, Cheng Xiao, and Bawang, Zhan Lan, Ye An'an, Ming Yanwei, whom you no longer remember, were all resurrected by me. I have seen your past memories and understand your hearts. What are your weaknesses? Xiao Honglu and I had synesthesia in the Pacific Rim, and I also know his memory. And through me, these weaknesses can be caught by Freddy and used to lure you into the second layer of dreams...

"From the current point of view, we are together, but the other person is nowhere to be seen. Therefore, it is very likely that this dream is composed of two parts. We exist in one part of the dream, while others exist in the other part. These two parts Most likely interconnected, like..."

"Tai Chi!" On the other side, Chu Xuan said almost at the same time, "Although Freddy took advantage of my inner demons to pull me into the dream, he certainly couldn't detect the flaws in other people's hearts from me. , Therefore, this dream is likely to be constructed based on the dreams of Zheng Zha and Chu Xiaoran. After all, you two are the people who know the most about other people's demons. In Pacific Rim, Xiaoran read All my memories, so the people I resurrected, she is also aware of their spiritual flaws... and these two dreams coexist, just like the Taiji diagram, surrounded by each other, but with clear boundaries..."

Chu Xiaoran smiled reassuringly at the others, "However, we are not completely isolated. You should all remember that there are actually dots corresponding to the yin and yang levels in the Taiji diagram, which means that the cathode generates yang. The anode produces the yin, which is constantly changing. If you use a foreign film as a metaphor, just imagine Dante's "Divine Comedy", where the bottom of hell can lead to heaven... It's the same principle that everything must go against its limit."

"The point of conversion is likely to fall on the two of you, Zhang Yi and Liu Yu." Chu Xuan said, looking at the two of them, "One of you is a newcomer, and the other was resurrected by Ye Anan. Even Zheng Zha doesn’t know where your spiritual loopholes are, and Freddie probably won’t be able to trap you in the second layer of dreams. Therefore, when Zheng Zha himself encounters his spiritual loopholes, this layer of dreams will definitely be broken. Become unstable, at this time, you may be able to find something wrong in the dream...Go to Chu Xiaoran's dream on the other side! Of course, Freddy may find Zhang Yi's spiritual loophole through Ye Anan, so, Liu Yu, you are the key to us breaking the game..."

"Zhu Wen, Lu Ling, you two must be careful." Chu Xiaoran instructed, "If you have a chance, try to find a place where the two dreams are connected! Maybe you can keep moving between each other in the dream, so that you can see each other. Avoid the fatal attack..." She said and handed the infinite sapphire pendant to Zhu Wen, but she didn't let go, but hung above it, "Feel the change of my power... yes, activate here... stop !"

Zhu Wen was startled, her hands trembled, but she barely stopped.

"Not now." Chu Xiaoran said, "Breaking the connection rashly may cause changes, so don't take risks now... Remember the rune I led to draw just now, after the last stroke is completed, it may open the gap between the two dreams." channel, but I'm not sure, if not, then you can only figure it out..."

Zhu Wen smiled nervously: "Okay, then I will try my best..."

Chu Xuan looked at Zheng Zha lightly, "There are two ways to make the dream disappear, besides waking up the dreamer, there is another way... But I can't say it directly, you can think about it yourself, This is your own decision..."

"Knowing this, there is no point in us continuing to get together. Let's spread out in this room." Chu Xiaoran calmly said, "Stay alone for 5 minutes, and then come downstairs... The Lord God will not let us escape Freddy's pursuit easily, and we must know that our current state can only be maintained until Chu Xuan can suppress the inner demons. It is very easy to break through two dreams..."

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, she sighed: "Forget it. Anyway... let's spread out first."

Five minutes later, everyone gathered in the living room again, but Zhao Yingkong and Xiao Honglu were missing.The next day, Cheng Xiao also disappeared.And on the third day, it was also the No. 5 day that everyone spent in a dream—only Chu Xiaoran and Zhu Wen were left in the entire villa.

"I'll go for a walk." After breakfast, Chu Xiaoran said, "If something is wrong...be careful yourself."

Zhu Wen nodded with a pale face, and Chu Xiaoran left the villa. The two of them got up very early, and it was not even eight o'clock in the morning after breakfast.This time should have been the rush hour for work and school, but the road was empty, with no pedestrians.In this eerie silence, Chu Xiaoran walked all the way to the place where everyone entered the horror film, and then stopped.

"There's no point in procrastinating any longer, Freddy, you know that delaying in time will have no effect on me," she said flatly to the air in front of her, "Come on."

She closed her eyes, and then turned around - but what she saw was not the streets of the town, but a room she was very familiar with.She was sitting on the soft leather sofa by herself, next to Chu Xuan, the two of them were almost shoulder to shoulder, and Chu Xuan's hand even held one of hers - hers was sitting on the other sofa. Adoptive father, Cheng Xiao, and Lu Ling, Cheng Xiao was making everyone laugh.

"Xiao Ran! You're distracted, what are you thinking?" Lu Ling suddenly reached out and waved her hand in front of her eyes.She smiled playfully herself, and on the ring finger of that hand was a delicate diamond ring.

Chu Xuan beside her also turned around, with a smile on his face, and the way he looked at her was undoubtedly the way an ordinary man in love would look at his girlfriend.In the back of his mind, C let out a surprised sigh, while Chu Xiaoran just met his gaze quietly and shook her head.

"I was expecting to see that lab, or Resident Evil [-]...didn't expect this to happen."

"Family? But this is definitely not what you and I expected—" C said in surprise.

"It's not a family." Chu Xiaoran ignored the questions from Cheng Xiao, Lu Ling, and President Chu, and just stared at Chu Xuan intently, "Yes... I wish I was an ordinary person. I hope that both Chu Xuan and I It is an ordinary person, without experiments, without genetic modification, without being incomplete like now, without having to suffer from the pain of not being able to cry when you want to cry, and being afraid of uncontrollable pain in your own actions..."

A trace of tears flashed in her eyes, but the tears did not fall down in the end, "I only know now... I longed so much..."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Xuan in front of her showed a suspicious look, stretched out his arms around her waist, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and Chu Xiaoran obediently leaned over, As she raised her head to meet Chu Xuan's lips, the hand behind her gradually changed into the shape of a scissors glove...

But the next moment, Chu Xuan in front of her suddenly screamed and bounced back!He seemed to be suspended in the air by an invisible force, and his appearance quickly turned into Freddy, and he seemed to be distorted by some huge force, and his limbs took on strange shapes.

"This dream is beautiful." Chu Xiaoran said calmly, "You know that pain can no longer defeat me, so you started from another angle and tried to seduce me. This idea is correct...but the Chu Xuan you pretended to be, The character is too far apart.”

She sneered slightly, and Freddy's twisted limbs suddenly shattered into powder, and from that point on, everything around her was shattered and cracked, and the next moment, she had returned to the streets of the town, but there was still No one was there.

"The dream on my side is no longer stable. Chu Xuan and Zheng Zha's side is about to start..." Chu Xiaoran waved her hand, and several flying swords flew out of the storage space and hovered over her chest. Around her body, she pinched the sword formula with her hands, controlled the changes in the runes, and performed a move of "Four Square Concentration", immediately surrounding her body with a layer of protective sword energy.

Almost at the same moment when the sword art was completed, she suddenly jumped up and hid aside!In an instant, she had unlocked the fourth-order gene lock, and she jumped nearly ten meters, and the place where she was standing was pierced by a bullet. The bullet carried a slightly colorful force, which seemed to be out of thin air Appearing, it was as if the barrier between the two worlds had been broken through... From the hole it tore in the air, Chu Xuan, who was holding guns in both hands, walked out and had already performed the gun fighting technique!
