Chapter 10 Chapter 117 Strange Spread
"I'm still too much worse than Jingle Bell, his head is born with a mutation, who can have such a perverted head as he is. I feel that if Jia Xin is a guy who wants to calculate me, the result will definitely be very tragic. ”
"Can you be a little self-motivated, really." Wang Yizhi poked Zhang Chen's head with her finger.
"Let's get down to business, Yizhi...... Did Nyarrathotep restrict you from talking about attacking me? Zhang Chen's smiling face quickly became serious and began to talk about the faceless man.
"This ...... Originally, it was not possible to talk about it, after all, this matter involved the ontology of Nyaratotip, and even more serious and deeper things. ”
"Something deep? Does the Faceless Man have a deep relationship with Nyaratotip? Zhang Chen muttered in his heart.
"And there's about nothing...... I also learned the details of this strange creature privately through my own eyeliner. There will be no more than three people who really know the details of this matter. Still, I've got some stuff in advance that you can refer to and see how much useful you can get......"
Wang Yizhi said and took out a horror periodical, like a hardcover edition sold in newspapers and magazines.
"This incident caused a great sensation in the world, although the memories of the victims and their relatives were touched, but their souls were imprinted and affected by this horror, so that after they were reincarnated, they would still recreate the images of what you saw when their consciousness was floating or when they were dreaming at night."
"So this creature began to be widely circulated in Western countries as a horror story, and some of the things that humans have summed up still have a certain value, and you can learn from them a little. As for the relationship between this thing and Nyaratotip, I am not particularly clear. ”
Zhang Chen took the hardcover magazine that Wang Yizhi handed to him, which seemed to be a special topic, and on the cover it was written in black distorted text - SlenderMan (slender ghost).
What Zhang Chen cares about the most is naturally the characters imprinted on the cover of the book. Dressed in a crisp suit, with a black tie tied between the white shirt, the whole person is dignified and printed on the cover, and the smooth face has no facial features, and most importantly, black tentacles float behind his body.
"Exactly the same ......"
"A little bit of a reminder to you, once this thing is eyeing someone. The target will not be diverted until he dies, so care must be taken. Wang Yizhi's advice means that the other party will always follow Zhang Chen's side.
"Will you always follow me?" Zhang Chen muttered, in fact, he already had this feeling of being really targeted before.
Zhang Chen saw the faceless man on the cover, and couldn't help but glance at the chandelier at the top of the room, confirming that there was nothing wrong with all the wiring connecting the lights, the walls in the palace were made of special materials and the enchantment made by the faceless, just now Zhang Chen fought with the faceless man twice, and gravity hit the wall without causing any wall damage.
If you think about it this way, the other party will not be able to penetrate the wall. Otherwise, it is only necessary to destroy the circuit of the light before
Zhang Chen came to the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed with the magazine in his hand, since Wang Yizhi said that there is something to learn from in this book, there must be important information in it that Wang Yizhi cannot say.
Seeing Zhang Chen sitting on the edge of the bed, Wang Yizhi was sitting alone by the windowsill of the room, with her white arms dragging her chin, looking at the scene in the palace courtyard outside the windowsill.
Wang Yizhi's control of the darkness is unmatched here, but when Wang Yizhi's black eyes look at the beautiful scenery of the fountain reflected in the white moonlight in the courtyard, a strip of shadow quickly flashes next to the reflection of the fountain reflected in the moonlight.
As a result, the shadows are all black and are perceived and partially controlled by Wang Yizhi. It's just that the shadow that flashed just now can't be perceived by Wang Yizhi at all.
"It's a bit of trouble." Wang Yizhi muttered softly. Then he looked at Zhang Chen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and reading the publication carefully.
…………
The beginning of the impurities in Zhang Chen's hands details the origin of this person.
"SlenderMan, also literally translated as the Thin Man or Slenda, or as suched as the Child Killer by his actions. He is characterized by an unnaturally slender build, a blank, expressionless and featureless face, and often wears an all-black suit with a black tie. Lives deep in the woods. ”
The text of the first article is also accompanied by an old black-and-white photograph
A cute scene of a young boy in a horizontal striped sweater with unkempt curly hair standing next to a large tree and holding a curly lollipop in his hand was captured by his family, but in the woods behind the photograph. The faceless man in the suit stands there, facing in the direction of the camera.
Zhang Chen did not get any information available and continued to turn the pages.
CHAPTER II. - Origins
The origin of the Slenderman is highly debated, with its earliest origins being in German war texts, where the Faceless Man was first seen on the battlefield in the 1600s when Duke Palatine led his army to occupy a church territory. He was codenamed D and appeared in prints as well as in German fairy tales.
With the invention of photographic technology in the 1900s, images of the Faceless Man resurfaced. He is present in black and white as well as in the Cyppian era. Cases of missing children occur frequently in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, and are often accompanied by the appearance of Faceless Men in photographs.
By the time of World War II and the division of Germany, Faceless Men began to appear on the German battlefield by accident, and a large number of American, West and East German soldiers went missing. At the same time, a large number of children disappeared in the forests in the United States and Canada, and the next day they were found in the place where the children disappeared, leaving a large bag of cloth inside, containing cruelly torn limbs.
"It seems to be a real event, but what does this thing have to do with Nyaratotip? If it's a faceless incarnation, why is this thing not under the control of faceless now? The title of 'Faceless' also seems to have nothing to do with its strongest incarnation, the 'Black Pharaoh', otherwise the title would be directly 'Pharaoh' rather than 'Faceless'. ”
"Is it possible that the news that Jia Xin learned was wrong or that the really important news was missing?
If it were possible, after Nayarathotep gained the power of the third life and established the apostolic position, not every life in the next seven lives was spent in normal incognito, and there may be one life where serious problems really arise.
And the second incarnation of Nyaratotip is also somewhat similar to this slenderman, I remember that the second incarnation was called the 'faceless god' by the witches of Northern Europe at the beginning, and the modus operandi was somewhat similar, dismembering children and the like, but although the facial features on the second portrait were degraded, they did not disappear completely like this. ”
In the ancient books in Jia Xin's hands, there is only a general portrait of the seventh generation. The Faceless Tenth does not seem to have any information or portrait...... After experiencing the tenth life, Faceless no longer underwent any human reincarnation, and began to establish the 'Zero Five Nightmares', could it be that something unusual happened in this tenth life? ”
Zhang Chen sorted out his mind a little, but he didn't expect that there would be unexpected progress, and when the time came, he would find Jia Xin to verify, maybe he would be able to know some details.
Zhang Chen then continued to flip through the impurities in his hand, and some of the legends of the Faceless Man written by some novelists were quickly omitted by Zhang Chen, but in the fourth part of the book "Fear-The Faceless Man" by a Danish novelist Charlesten, there was some mention of the shadow ability of the Faceless Man, which made Zhang Chen stop and watch carefully.
In the usual form of a horror short story, it features a group of young people who go out into the wild and are targeted by Faceless Men.
Facelings began to appear frequently in the photographs they took, sometimes near and sometimes far away, but each time they appeared, they were bound to cling to a shadow, the shadow of a tree, the shadow of a building, and even the shadow of the youth themselves.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but look at his feet, the light in the room was extremely bright, and it was reflected from the various walls, so that there was no shadow in the room.
However, at the end of the short story, Zhang Chen sees that the group of people are unable to find a way to escape or deal with the Faceless Man, and by the end of the story, they all die or are taken out of the world by the Faceless Man.
"There doesn't seem to be anything more important ......"
After several stories about Faceless Man had passed, the entire magazine was nearing its end, and the final pages were filled with a few random reader articles about Slenderman.
Most of them talked about some experiences of encountering faceless men that were difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but there was only one manuscript from an unknown contributor that made Zhang Chen a little concerned - "He is not a ghost, he is just a person, but he is a split body of a devil......"
"Splinter...... Incarnation? ”
Zhang Chen marked down this crucial piece of information and merged it into the entire magazine, and then looked at Wang Yizhi by the windowsill, whose frowning expression clearly noticed something unusual.
"Did you see that thing?" Zhang Chen asked.
"It's all about the ability to control the darkness.,Through the method of elimination, I was able to notice a trace of the other party.。 When did this thing first find you? ”
"Less than ten minutes after the dinner was over and I returned to my room, the other party appeared in my room."
"It's almost a cycle now, and the frequency of the other party's appearance should be about three hours."
"Three hours, so short?" Zhang Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Wang Yizhi say this.
"Be prepared, I'm afraid the other party will make a move soon." Wang Yizhi solemnly admonished Zhang Chen, and at the same time, there was already a black mist lingering on her body.
"There's plenty of light here, how can he do it......"
However, as soon as Zhang Chen's words ended, the 'Kacha' room fell into darkness, and to be precise, the entire palace fell into darkness. (To be continued......)
