Chapter 24: Alice (5)
The space wrapped by Shirley's tentacles was an extremely terrifying scene. It was described as a monster stripped of its mucous membranes, full of flesh and blood.
And Alice, as a girl who has just come of age, seems to be a little too calm in this terrible scene.
Under her beautiful face, there is a pair of indifferent eyes, indifferent to everything around her, this kind of expression, let her whole person change a temperament, just like the image of the poor girl who felt heartbroken because of her father's behavior, just a disguise. And at this moment, she is mature and indifferent, which is the true face of Alice.
In fact, not only Alice, but also the townsfolk looked very weird...... According to the general understanding, even if you love your homeland, but suddenly so many terrifying tentacles come out of the ground, normal people will definitely feel frightened.
But at this moment, there is no fear in the eyes of these townspeople, they easily accept this setting of 'there are tentacles under the town', and everyone bravely takes up arms and rushes into this bloody place...... It's as if all the inhabitants of this town are fearless heroes.
In fact, if people with good eyes see this scene, they can find that in the eyes of these townspeople, there is not only no fear, but even no anger, and no worry about the safety of the town..... They have nothing, and if I have to say, they seem more like a kind of puppet controlled by Hannibal's mind.
Even...... Some people also let out bursts of snoring from time to time.
Uh, yes, you read that right, there were really people in the gang who were snoring, as if they were sleeping, and although they all had their eyes open and weapons in hand, they bravely rushed towards the terrible lickers and tyrants, but ...... But they're sleeping!
Well, in fact, in the final analysis, the setting of sleeping with your eyes closed is not so absolute, it may be that someone sleeps with their eyes open...... Also, you don't have to lie still in bed to sleep, right, after all, there is such a thing as 'sleepwalking'. So, a bunch of sleepers running around doesn't seem so hard to understand, right?
So, one of the issues that deserves attention now is that since you can sleep with your eyes open and walk and work normally, then ...... How long have the people in this town been asleep?
Will they sleep all the time, but no one will find out......
In fact, in retrospect, after Ziliang came to this town, it seems that except for those who 'never dream', he rarely saw people acting too excitedly, no quarrels, and no abuse, and the strange calm of this town before seems to have an answer now.
Perhaps, the whole town is sleeping......
......
Let's return our gaze to the battlefield...... Countless townsfolk were fighting Shirley's summons, and although they were numerous and fearless, they were still far from the horrors of the tyrant. Whether it's guns, fires, car crashes, or even a few police officers throwing grenades out of the police station, there is still no way to restrain the tyrant.
What the? RPG, you say? Come on, it's a small town, you think it's an armory.
In short, there is no suspense in this battle, even if there are more people, it is impossible to approach Ziliang and the others.
At least until Alice came along, it had been like this.
So, what about after Alice appeared......
I saw her petite figure come to the front of the crowd and stretch out her little hand, which looked thin and weak......
"Let's sleep~"
She said this softly, and the moment her voice came out, it was drowned out by the sound of gunfire and explosions.
But...... The lickers, who were trying to gnaw at the corpses, seemed to slow down all of a sudden, they stopped screaming, just shook their heads, and then, with a bang, fell to the ground.
The tyrant not far away has already hammered the sixth vehicle, and in front of him, even a tank can dismantle it for you. But......
"Sleep."
Alice groaned softly again, like a childhood mother's lullaby, and finally, the tyrant could not resist the surging sleepiness and collapsed.
Compared with Hannibal's hypnosis, Alice's hypnosis seems to be more effective...... It works to a terrible degree.
At this moment, all the protective forces under Shirley fell into a deep sleep, and the bodies of Ziliang and the others were still lying quietly on the ground, I don't know why, they still didn't wake up under such a loud noise.
Moreover, defenseless......
Now, even a powerless child seems to be able to kill them easily.
The townspeople were still quiet, and they all gathered around Ziliang and the others, forming a circle, and only Alice walked towards them little by little.
In the process, one of the people in the crowd handed a knife...... Alice gently took it in her hand.
She came to Ziliang and the others, and looked down at them sleeping condescendingly......
She knew that these people would not wake up, never.
This town has a curse, and decades ago, the townspeople begged a priest to cast a curse......
They prayed that the priest would help them defend themselves against Freddy's revenge.
The priest agreed......
However...... No one thought that the priest's curse was the opposite of dealing with Freddy, what he cursed was——— [The people of this town, once they fall asleep, will always be trapped in dreams!] 】
Oh, I know there will be people here who will ask, forever trapped in dreams? If that were the case, wouldn't it be easy for Freddy to kill these people?
Hehe, it stands to reason that it is like this......
However, there is one problem that everyone seems to have overlooked.
It's true...... Is there such a person as Freddy?
Or, the boy who was burned to death by fire decades ago, has he really come back?
Okay, some people may be confused, but that's what we want, the priest who has never had a name, the curse, or Alice, that's what we want.
This damn town deserves this curse.
Oh, if we want to find out what all this is all about, then we have to start with the original question about Freddy. Kruger] began to tell the story.
Where are we?
Oh...... Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Freddy. Kruger].
He's a ...... Orphan......
