Chapter 19: A Nightmare from a Novel
1.
"Lin Xiao, what are you listening to all night with a headset on? If you don't come to the rescue scene again, the two of them will kill me all night. β
Chen Xiao really wanted to cry, five kills of the Three Kingdoms in one night, Lin Xiao didn't come to participate, he could only fight two thieves with one lord, fight five times and lose five times, and he didn't even have the mood to give up playing board games and play games.
Lin Xiao took off one of his headphones and replied, "I'm listening to a book." Hurry up APP, conversational novels, tap the screen to advance the plot, and put on headphones to automatically listen to the voice or BGM of the novel. I used it to read some horror novels, and it was the most emotional!"
Zhou Yi smacked his lips and said, "Wow, you are perverted!"
Su Yiqing nodded: "I heard my classmates introduce this APP before, and I heard that the headphone party who appreciated this thing at night was all scared to death." β
"How can there be such a pompous ......" Lin Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Most of them are old-fashioned routines, not to mention how scary." However, the one I read recently is not bad, the book is called "She Won't Die". If you're interested, you can check it out. β
"Not interested, not interested!" the other three shook their heads like rattles in unison, looking extremely resistant. "Military training during the day is physically affected, and watching this thing at night will be mentally affected, what is the difference between this and self-harm?
Lin Xiao said helplessly: "But I don't want to fight now." Otherwise, I'll go next door and help you find the other players?"
"Eh, goodbye. Chen Xiao stopped.
"Aren't the four of 306 next door in our class too?"
"The four of them went to Wanda tonight to buy daily necessities, and now you go next door, and you can only find four balls of air. β
Lin Xiao pointed out the door: "306 is nobody, isn't there still 304?" Although they are from the foreign language department, it is not unfamiliar to look up and look down all day long, what a big deal it is for a person. β
"I'm afraid that you won't be allowed to go to 304. Su Yiqing said in a slow tone.
Lin Xiao was stunned: "What's the situation?"
"Do you know that Yang Chenghuai in their dormitory?"
"You know, the one with a scumbag on his face, a simple mind and simple limbs. β
Zhou Yi said: "That guy has a cat, and he takes it wherever he goes, so he almost didn't go to the classroom with him." It doesn't matter if you invite him personally, but I don't want to invite him personally and invite a brute to pull the network cable from our dormitory at the same time!"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "School dormitory...... Can you actually raise a cat!Is the downstairs management an ornament?!"
"As long as you sign a letter of guarantee to the school that all injuries and losses caused by pets will be borne by you," Chen Xiao said, "Don't say anything about cats and dogs, you can raise tigers and lions!"
Lin Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then picked up his mobile phone: "It's okay if you don't call them, I still have a candidate." β
Half an hour later.
Hong Chen sat on Lin Xiao's lap, his long hair, which was still wet after washing, was scattered and exuded a faint fragrance. The pair of white long legs hung down and swayed, pure and sexy, and it looked extremely moving.
But Zhou Yi and Su Yiqing didn't have the heart to appreciate the beauty in front of them at all now, they were watching in amazement as Hong Chen touched the two cards from the top of the card pile, and then played a few trick cards cleanly, emptying the hands of the two of them;
"Won again?" Lin Xiao poked his head out of Hong Chen's shoulder to look at the battle going on on the table.
Chen Xiao just touched two cards: "Not yet, I don't have any cards that can make up the knife." After finishing speaking, I found that Lin Xiao looked at him with an idiotic look: "I now know how you lost the previous five games." β
"What do you mean?"
"You haven't used it yet, big brother!"
Hong Chen couldn't help but hold his forehead and complained: "It's over, Jia Xu's coffin board can't be suppressed......"
Zhou Yi and Su Yiqing flipped over the general's cards, looked at Hong Chen with a relaxed expression, and couldn't help but complain: "Three wins in half an hour! Lin Xiao, where are you looking for this amazing girl?"
She ...... Isn't that the one in our class?"
Chen Xiao waved his hand with a painful face: "In the past few days, everyone has been kicking and kicking so much that everyone is about to close themselves, where can I take a closer look at which girls are in our class!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "Lin Xiao, I see that you are motionless when you are standing upright, should you be looking at the girls in our class to distract yourself!"
Hong Chen glanced back at Lin Xiao: "Oh~ You still have this habit!"
Su Yiqing frowned and said, "No, you know." β
Hong Chen put his backhand around Lin Xiao's head and neck: "That's rightβI'm actually his high school classmate." β
Lin Xiao couldn't insert a word from beginning to end, and a few roommates talked nonsense every day, and it was okay to lose a few words to each other. His eyes widened as he looked at Hong Chen, who was grinning and grimacing, and wanted to take a few rolls of super tape to seal her lying mouth.
Lin Xiao secretly twisted a small piece of soft/flesh around Hong Chen's waist behind his back, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You don't even have a draft when you lie!"
Hong Chen seemed to be not afraid of itching or pain, and let Lin Xiao twist it, and said with a smile: "That's right." β
"Do you dare to be a little more shameless?"
"Then you have the ability to lie yourself!"
Lin Xiao looked at Hong Chen and silently let go of the hand twisted around her waist.
"Okay, count you ruthless!"
2.
The night outside the window was pitch black.
Lin Xiao opened his eyes in a daze, the lights in the bedroom had been turned off, and it was as dark as the night. He raised his hand and rubbed his slightly stinging eyes, and after a moment of recuperation, he found that the quilt was bulging, as if there was another person lying in the quilt besides himself.
With the bizarre memories of the summer vacation and the experience of sharing the bed with Ye Xin, Lin Xiao already has a certain immunity to the fact that there is an extra person in his bed.
Since the extra person in the quilt didn't kill himself in the first place, it seems that there is no threat to him at this time. Lin Xiao tried to relax as much as possible, and when his eyes gradually adapted to the dark environment around him, he saw that the person in the quilt was Hong Chen.
The light in the dormitory was not even dim, it was basically the same as a black eye, Lin Xiao was able to identify Hong Chen in this environment, which showed how close the two of them were. What's more, Hong Chen's extremely elastic body is tightly attached to his body, which makes it difficult for people to ignore it.
Lin Xiao frowned, not knowing what the hell this usually quirky girl was doing at this moment. The school has a clear rule: no dormitory is allowed to stay in the opposite sex. And now Hong Chen not only stayed, but also lay down on his bed directly, not to take it so excessively!
Just wanted to open his mouth to curse, but Hong Chen seemed to see his intentions, and with a quick finger of lightning and stone fire, it had already pointed at Lin Xiao's dumb hole. Lin Xiao only felt as if a stone had been stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't say half a word, and his breath was stuck in his throat, and he was very uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, Hong Chen stretched out his hand next and covered Lin Xiao's mouth again, so that he couldn't even make a sound. Lin Xiaozheng was so angry that he was smoking, and suddenly a white light lit up in front of him, but it was Hong Chen who turned on the light emitted by the screen of his mobile phone.
With this light, Lin Xiao suddenly noticed that Hong Chen's face was unusually bad, and when he looked closely, he found that it was more like the expression he had when he was facing a great enemy.
Lin Xiao also calmed down and looked at the mobile phone screen in Hong Chen's hand. I saw that the chat interface of WeChat was displayed above, and there was a message that had been edited:
"Don't talk, mute your phone, move lightly, and type and communicate when you have something. β
Lin Xiao was stunned, and touched the mobile phone in the hanging basket next to the bed with his backhand and turned it to silent mode. At this time, Hong Chen had already edited several messages and sent them out, Lin Xiao opened WeChat and saw that it was written:
"There's a 'thing' in your dorm!"
"That 'thing' is blind and can only catch sound at the target, so don't make a sound!"
"Zhou Yi, Chen Xiao and Su Yiqing are dead!"
"It's because they made a sound, so they were killed by it!"
Lin Xiao's whole body suddenly cooled, only to feel that his brain was blank, and the whole person froze directly on the bed: his roommates were already dead? How could it be?! What made him feel even more crazy was that he didn't know if it was the psychological effect after reading that paragraph or the fact that it was so, a smell of blood was spreading in the dormitory.
Hong Chen unlocked Lin Xiao's dumb hole and sent him another message: "If you don't believe it, you can probe to take a look, but be careful not to move too much, let it hear the sound and we'll be finished!"
Lin Xiao numbly propped up half of his body, gently opened the curtain around the bed with trembling hands, and then shone the bright light of the mobile phone screen downward.
I saw three black mudflats on the ground, and if I looked at the shape, I could vaguely make out the vague human form. Lin Xiao forced himself to hold back the feeling of nausea, and looked around the dormitory again through the bright light, but he didn't see the "thing" that Hong Chen said at all.
Hong Chen closed the bed curtain with his backhand, pulled Lin Xiao to lie down again, and on the other hand, he typed and sent a message on his mobile phone quickly: "Don't look for it, it must still be there." β
Lin Xiao felt that the scene in front of him was bizarre and ridiculous, but the three pools of flesh and blood he had just seen, and the smell of blood in the air reminded him that his roommate was really dead!
Lin Xiao breathed hard and calmed down, and typed to Hong Chen: "When did it happen?"
"I don't remember exactly. β
"What time is it?"
"It's like it's about eleven fifty o'clock, it's almost twelve o'clock anyway. β
Lin Xiao was startled, and the phone almost fell off the bed board. He clutched his phone tightly, and after a moment he tapped the keyboard heavily, as if to shatter the screen:
"Noβbutβcan!"
"Why can't it be?"
"Because when I finish reading the novel and go to bed, it's already this time!"
Through the bright light of the screen, Lin Xiao saw Hong Chen's eyes widen in disbelief, and then he received a message:
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, surely, surely!"
"How so?!"
"Ask you, could it be that you people from the Quadruple Building are doing it again?!" Lin Xiao typed angrily.
Hong Chen rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "You read the novel and look stupid, don't let something happen to us capable people, okay? Why don't you say that this is your own dream?!"
Lin Xiao was about to sneer at each other, when suddenly his typing hand paused, and a spiritual light flashed in his mind.
Novel...... Dream......
Lin Xiao's eyes widened in horror, deleted the sentence that he had already finished typing and was about to go back, and quickly typed another sentence: "That's right, it's a novel!"
Hong Chen looked confused: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiao clicked on the reading software he had been reading for the past few days, flipped out the book he had been reading recently from the historical record - "She Won't Die", clicked on the first chapter of the novel, and handed it to Hong Chen.
Hong Chen stretched out his finger and dragged the page a few times, and after reading it for a while, his face gradually changed, and he didn't even type and communicate for a while, and directly lip-synced a few times at Lin Xiao on the bright light of the mobile phone screen: "How can this be?!"
"Isn't it very similar!" Lin Xiao typed.
Hong Chen looked at the plot displayed on the screen again: "Bai Ye retracted his gaze, and always felt that everything he was experiencing now was like a dream...... She lay on the bed and put her phone on silent, when she suddenly felt something brush the hair on the top of her head......"
Lin Xiao also seemed to remember the next plot, and the two looked at each other, so nervous that they didn't even dare to take a breath. According to the content in the novel, Hong Chen turned on the selfie mode of the camera in his mobile phone, turned on the flash, and then gently placed it in the empty space between the two of them, and pressed the shooting button.
A white glittering light flashed.
Lin Xiao and Hong Chen lay stiffly on the bed, looking at the "thing" on the screen, cold sweat soaking through their pajamas.
It looks exactly like the one described in the novel!
It was a skinned, eyeless humanoid. At that point of its eyes were the two flesh-and-blood holes, and now, it was staring at Hong Chen's phone with these two bottomless-looking bloody holes.
Rao is the two of them are not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, and they don't dare to act rashly at this time. Hong Chen didn't dare to take the risk of taking his mobile phone to send a message to Lin Xiao, so he still lip-synced at him: "What the hell is this?!"
Lin Xiao typed quickly: "In the novel, this is a ghost in the world." β
"What the hell is the inner world?"
Lin Xiao exploded under the gaze of the ghost: "The inner world, in popular terms, is hell, but there is not only one inner world. The Buddhist scriptures say that 'the Buddha has three thousand worlds', and ghosts actually have their own three thousand worlds, that is, 'three thousand evil worlds'. β
"Is this 'Evil Three Thousand' the 'Inner World'?"
"Yes. β
"Anyway, it's a demon crawling out of hell!"
"That's right......"
"Then explain to me, why is the stuff in this novel here?!" Hong Chen was obviously tired of lip syncing, so he quietly took Lin Xiao's mobile phone and typed it to him.
Lin Xiao felt that the ghost above his head was staring at him with his head down, and the bloody face was getting closer and closer to him, and his fingers were so stiff that his fingers hurt for a while, and even typing became a kind of torture:
"Honestly...... Every experience in the inner world is just a dream, but the people who die in the inner world will also die in reality because they are haunted by ghosts. β
Hong Chen took Lin Xiao's mobile phone and looked at the sentence he edited, and just wanted to type and reply, but Lin Xiao took the phone back, and after a while, he added another sentence:
"Also, I don't trust you right now!"
Hong Chen couldn't help but be stunned: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiao looked at Hong Chen with a warning gaze and typed: "From now on, I should be in the role of the heroine Bai Ye, and your role should be the heroine's best friend Lin Wei." β
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and typed the last sentence:
"In the novel, this man is the murderer at the end of the first story!"
3.
After reading Lin Xiao's edited sentence, Hong Chen couldn't help but want to be angry, but thinking about it carefully, everything that happened in front of him until now followed the plot development of this novel.
If this is the case, Lin Xiao's suspicions are not unreasonable. Even if you are yourself, you will not trust a person with the greatest variables.
"Then how do you want me to believe me?"
"You go and get it away, I'll run out and wait for you. β
If it weren't for the fact that the ghost was still staring at them overhead, Hong Chen was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone directly on Lin Xiao's unbeaten face.
"Can you still be good friends?!" Hong Chen slammed the keyboard on the screen, imagining that it was Lin Xiao's face.
Lin Xiao replied without changing his face: "If you lead it away, we will be friends." β
"Can you bear to treat your high school classmates like this?!"
"You said it yourself, I never said it!"
Hong Chen glared at Lin Xiao for a long time, and made a big mouth gesture at him: "Okay, count you ruthless!" Then he opened the address book of Lin Xiao's mobile phone and dialed Chen Xiao's number. A moment later, the iPhone on Chen Xiao's bed emitted a loud default ringtone.
Almost at the same time, Lin Xiao and Hong Chen heard a roar coming from their heads, and the skinning ghost flew out at an extremely fast speed, and its movements were so powerful that they directly tore the curtain covering the bed. It threw itself on Chen Xiao's bed, biting where the phone was, and wrapped its body and quilt together.
Hong Chen grabbed Lin Xiao's collar with his backhand, pulled him to his side, and used the sound of the monster biting as a cover, and turned over with Lin Xiao and rolled straight down from the top bunk.
At this moment, the dormitory returned to calm, the monster stopped biting, and its bloody body was wrapped in a quilt dyed red and white, and it bent its back like a blind man to feel where Lin Xiao and Hong Chen were.
Lin Xiao felt that his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat, and when he saw that the monster was about to touch it, he immediately turned on the NetEase cloud music on his phone, clicked on a song casually, and then quickly threw the phone back to the top bunk.
The bloody skinning monster roared, jumped to its feet, jumped to the top bunk in the blink of an eye, and began to bite at the source of the sound. Lin Xiao seized the opportunity to pull Hong Chen out of the bedroom and locked the door.
"It's not going to break through the door and run out, is it?" asked Hong Chen, holding on to the door.
Lin Xiao maintained the action when he locked the door, and he was also apprehensive: "Then it depends on whether the door of the school dormitory is made with conscience or a tofu scum project." β
The two of them turned their backs and sat down against the door, trying to slow down, but the next moment they both jumped up together in shock.
Hong Chen was stunned and asked, "I remember...... When you first showed me the first chapter, it didn't seem like there was such a scene...... Or am I mistaken?"
"You're not mistaken. Lin Xiao also didn't come back to his senses for a long time: "This is ...... The scene of Chapter 24!"
In the original book of "She Won't Die", after Bai Ye and Lin Wei escaped from the dormitory, they came to a corridor. There was no end in sight to that hallway, and there was endless darkness on either side.
At this moment, the two of them were in a dark forest, with clumps of dead branches and leaves under their feet, and occasionally branches of a stream, carrying silt and corpses of insects flowing past.
In the gloomy night, this black and dark dense forest exuded the rotting smell of death, and it was filled with a strange aura everywhere.
"What is this? The story is strung together?" Hong Chen didn't dare to raise his voice casually, for fear of alarming a strange creature like a skinner.
Lin Xiao also said in a low voice: "I don't know, but at least, I don't have to worry about you hurting me anymore." Because it can be seen from the current string that you are not Lin Wei, and I am not Bai Ye. β
Hong Chen snorted in annoyance, and was about to slap his palm on Lin Xiao's mouth, but saw that he suddenly gasped and covered his mouth. His eyes were fixed in one direction, and cold sweat was pouring down his forehead.
Hong Chen looked as far as his gaze could reach, and suddenly froze in place.
I saw a huge spider slowly crawling out of the shadow under a huge tree not far away, and its few feet stepped on the ground, and there was a sound.
"What the hell is this?Is the giant spider in Harry Potter ?!" Hong Chen felt that what she saw and heard tonight had completely refreshed her worldview - who said that the Triple Building was the most harmonious place, she must catch him out and then cut off his dog's head with a sword!
Lin Xiao felt that he was so shocked that he was about to lose his speech function: "That's not a spider ......"
"It's not a spider?
"Have you ever seen a sixteen-legged spider?!!Look - it's a deformed man!"
As soon as Lin Xiao's words fell, the "spider" had completely crawled out of the shadows, and Hong Chen realized that the thing was really not a spider, but a thing that was a hundred times more terrifying than a giant spider;
That's a real person!
A man who has many hands and feet on his body and is crawling on the ground!
As it crawled, the long hair on its head swayed, and the two of them saw the eyes on the humanoid spider's face. It was a compound eye like a fly, so big that it protruded from its face, and dozens of tiny pupils were densely packed into a single eyeball. This situation is even more disgusting than the skinner who appeared before!
Hong Chen desperately resisted the urge to vomit, touched Lin Xiao with his elbow, and asked, "What the hell is this!"
"You're right, it's a!"
"What?" Hong Chen didn't react at once.
Lin Xiao looked at the spider-man who was wandering back and forth on the edge of the shadows under the tree, and thought to himself that he felt disgusted when he saw the author describing this thing when he first read the novel, but he didn't expect that after actually seeing it, this thing was even more disgusting than he imagined!
Lin Xiao suppressed the tremor in his voice and said slowly:
"That thing is the 'ghost' in the novel, who dominates the second inner world!"
