Chapter 26: We Are Not Good People
Alice. Kruger.
The name is certainly not the mayor being greened.
It's because Alice was originally a member of the Kruger family...... More directly, he's Freddy. Kruger's daughter.
As mentioned earlier, Freddy wanted to curse the town for the rest of his life to pay for his mother's suffering that Christmas.
So, when Freddy died, his daughter became the sustainer of this curse.
And the reason why she became the daughter of the mayor of the town...... In fact, there is no reason, in this town, she can be whoever she wants, after all, those 'chosen ones' are actually in dreams before, and in the dream world, what they see and hear is not all Alice's words.
To put it so long or short, now, these outsiders made Alice feel a little sense of crisis, so she used an illusion to let Ziliang see the fictional [Freddy. Kruger] image to lure them to sleep.
And with the power of the curse, as long as these people fall asleep, they will definitely not wake up again.
But just in case, Alice still has a knife in hand, ready to end the lives of these people.
First of all, she came to Ziliang's side, because she seemed to be able to see that this person was the core of this group of outsiders.
She didn't hesitate at all, she directly raised the knife in her hand, and the sharp blade was instantly inserted into Ziliang's neck, and then the blade cut his throat, little by little, in a circular direction.
Yes, she wanted to cut off Ziliang's head entirely.
But Alice is just a little girl after all, and she doesn't have much strength, so no matter how sharp the knife is, trying to cut off someone's head is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. So, Alice crouched down, little by little, very patiently, and moved the blade in her hand.
But suddenly, she seemed to notice something.
That is, his own knife was after cutting Ziliang's neck..... The wound disappeared so quickly. His flesh and skin seemed to possess a magical healing power, and as long as it was attached to everything, it would close so quickly that there was not even a single scar visible.
Yes, if you want to kill Ziliang with a dagger, it's really not as fast as Chang......
That's not the scariest part, though.
The most terrifying thing is that at the same time that Alice cut Ziliang's neck, Ziliang actually opened his eyes, pressed his pupils against the edge of his eyelids, and stared at each other at a cautious angle.
In an instant, Alice met the gaze.
Her body stiffened......
Well, at this moment, she turned out to be afraid.
This fear is not only because of Ziliang's eyes, nor because his wounds are healing, but more because of ...... He woke up!
This made Alice's heart feel more fear than she could understand, because she knew it, and slept...... will not wake up, this curse is impossible to break.
Unless......
"Unless, we haven't slept at all." Ziliang seemed to be able to see Alice's thoughts, and suddenly replied.
As soon as the words fell, the people around him also opened their eyes.
Harry. Quinn.
Hannibal.
Shirley.
One by one, they stood up in Alice's surprised eyes! It turned out that none of them slept!
All of this is actually a game set up by Ziliang in order to uncover the mystery of this town.
It turned out that a long time ago, Ziliang and others discovered the abnormality of this town. It's so quiet, even a little lifeless.
But at that time, Ziliang couldn't think of any clues about 'dreams' or anything like that, until they found Alice.
The dream where everyone chased Freddy was so abrupt that Ziliang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear in his mind.
Until Mayor Wright came along......
At that time, Ziliang used his ability to trick Wright into telling the secrets of this town. At that time, he thought he already knew the truth of the matter.
But..... Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and he connected the dream with Wright's words. He realized that he seemed to have been deceived...... Could all this be a scam by subordinates in order to introduce themselves into the dream world?
He is still inconclusive.
But this does not prevent Ziliang from giving it a try. Therefore, he asked Hannibal to tell everyone about this idea, so that everyone can play a play, and if it succeeds, it will be able to uncover the real mystery of this plane, if it doesn't work out...... When the time comes, it's not too late for everyone to enter the dream together.
And it turns out that Ziliang's caution is right, a simple pretending to be asleep will lead Alice to her true face.
"Oh, you guys...... Did you already know all this? Alice calmed down from the shock and said coldly.
Ziliang habitually scratched his head......
"Ah, not really, but when you jump out on your own, I get it all." He said.
Alice smiled disdainfully: "Okay, you're smart, but ...... Even if you know what..... As long as you're in this town, you'll be affected by the curse, so there's only two paths in front of you. First, take your people and get out of here! Second, never sleep! ”
"Ahh......h However, based on my understanding of curses, any curse needs a sustainer, if ...... We're going to kill you here, and the curse will be lifted? ”
"Hahaha-" Alice laughed as she spoke, "What? Kill me? Do you think I'm one of these stupid ordinary townspeople? Well, what if you kill me, this curse has penetrated into the minds of every townspeople, the children here are all born in dreams, they are part of the curse, kill me, you can't escape the curse! ”
"Ah, it seems to be quite difficult......" Ziliang muttered casually: "So, let's kill all the townspeople, isn't it okay?" ”
"What...... What the? Alice was stunned.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, we're not exorcists from afar, we're not heroes from those TV shows who come to save the town, and to be honest, we're not good people...... Therefore, the death of these townspeople has nothing to do with us...... In fact, I think they might as well be dead if they're trapped in their dreams forever. ”
The corners of Alice's mouth finally revealed a playful arc.
"Oh, so confident...... That...... Just give it a try. ”
Ziliang nodded obediently, and then kicked the old Joey who was still sleeping next to him with an embarrassed face.
"Alas, alas, don't sleep, get up and get up to fight......"
