But this time, Zhou Chu was disappointed, with the impression in his memory, Zhou Chu walked back and forth in that alley for more than an hour, but he never saw the woman again, so he had no choice but to return to his home.

On the way back, Zhou Chu held back the idea of wanting to send a text message to Xia Jing several times, but when he got out of the car, he stood on the side of the street and looked at the bustling city night scene, and was stunned for a while before dragging some heavy steps into the community.

The reason why his steps are heavy is not only because of the current predicament, but also because he is about to enter that damn nightmare, but he still knows nothing, although Zhou Chu has accepted this fact, it does not mean that he can happily and optimistically treat this nightmare as a game, killing all sides in it, that is what a madman does, he is not a madman.

But he soon felt that he was crazy - Zhou Chu, who took out the key to open the door of the house, saw that the TV in the living room was on, and a woman was sitting on a chair next to her, quietly and attentively watching the drama on the screen.

Black hair, black gauze skirt, white jade-like skin, a serious and calm expression, although Zhou Chu didn't remember the facial features of the woman Taiqing that day, but this feeling, except for the woman who appeared that night, there would be no one else.

"You're back." The young woman glanced at Zhou Chu, and then continued to watch TV, as calm as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, familiar to the point that they didn't need to be polite.

What the hell is going on?! Zhou Chu was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to touch his back to pull out the gun, but found that the back was empty, so he reacted, this is reality, but the dim environment and the flickering light of the TV screen make everything seem weird and creepy.

didn't have time to think about how this woman appeared, Zhou Chu hurriedly turned on the light in the living room.

With a snap, the fluorescent lamp flashed, and then lit up, and the whole living room brightened, Zhou Chu then put his mind at ease and looked at the woman, the night when he was drunk before, and the dim light before, he couldn't see it very clearly, and at this moment, under the light of the light, Zhou Chu was able to see the woman's appearance carefully.

It should be called a girl's young face, which is not too stunning, but her facial features, and the simplicity of not applying powder, make her look no different from ordinary young girls, but she is very attractive, but at the same time there is a temperament that distinguishes her from others, which seems cold and unapproachable.

"Who are you?"

"The Bell." After seeing the look, the young girl said, and then added, "Guide." ”

"What's that dream?"

"That's it." Stygor turned her gaze back to the TV, "I'll talk about it after watching this episode." ”

……

Zhou Chu wanted to rush over directly, picked up the girl named Hellbell, and asked her to tell everything in detail, but he didn't dare, this girl was as weird as the dream she brought, so he had to wait patiently for Hellbell to finish watching the series on TV.

Finally waited for the Stygian Bell to finish reading, and before Zhou Chu could speak, the Stygian Bell had already turned around and stared at Zhou Chu with her overly black eyes.

"That dream is a dream."

Asking is equivalent to not asking, Zhou Chu is already a little crazy, and his tone is a little unkind: "Why will I have the same dream in a row, and why will I react in reality to the injury I suffered?" What the hell is going on with all this? ”

"I don't know what to do." Stygian Bell replied very simply, "All this has involved the root of the Nightmare World Realm, I have no way to answer, I am just a guide, and then one accidentally chose you." ”

"And what do you know?" Zhou Chu felt that he was going crazy. …,

"I know the ......," Silent Bell thought for a moment, and then said slowly.

The Nightmare World Realm, which is a world that cannot be explained by common sense, it seems to do not exist, because most of the time, it only exists in dreams, but it seems to have always existed, everything that manifests in dreams is so real that everything in the nightmare will be projected into reality.

No one knows if it's a separate space. But there is no doubt that the Nightmare World Realm exists, and it has always intertwined with this World, and occasionally someone strays into it, but most of the time, it is the guide who chooses the person who can enter this World.

Just as no one knows how and when the Nightmare World of the Dao appeared and existed, and when it appeared, no one knows when the Dao and the Guides began to appear. But they appeared—one day when the guide was still just an ordinary person, they suddenly felt the call of the Nightmare World, and heard its voice, as if it were a mission, willingly, reluctantly, all those who were called, became guides. Their job is to find and select those who will enter the Nightmare Realm, and to provide guidance.

"Why do you want to enter?" When he heard this, Zhou Chu said a sentence.

"I don't know the way, I've only been a guide for three years, and you're the fifth person I've chosen." Stygian's expression was innocent, as if he was also a newcomer, "It seems to be preparing for something." ”

But what exactly was she preparing for, the Nightmare World didn't tell her, and the Stygian Bell didn't know what to do, she just picked it, and then she picked Zhou Chu. As for what Zhou Chu was, Mingling didn't answer, but even if he answered, Zhou Chu might feel inexplicable.

Just the so-called preparation? What can a world that only exists in the dream world prepare, although the injuries suffered in the nightmare world can seem to affect reality through unexplained weirdness, but in addition to these, what else can affect reality, such as if you die in the nightmare world, will you also die in reality? Or do you want to end this dream and start the next? Zhou Chu asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Will die." "Most of the time, it's brain dead, and there are also because the injuries you suffered in the dream are too serious, and they are directly projected into reality, but no one knows the truth, for example, you died of a comminuted fracture in the dream, and when others find your body in reality, it's almost the same situation." ”

This...... What a cheat, Zhou Chu thought.

As if he saw Zhou Chu's thoughts, Styx Ling said expressionlessly: "It's not that there are no rewards, it's just that if you're a newcomer, you have to stick to at least three dreams, or a complete world, before you can know more information about the Dao, you go and look at the third drawer of your computer desk." ”

Zhou Chu walked into his room with doubts, then opened the third drawer of the computer desk, and then was startled.

In the empty drawer, there was an extra black box and a wad of dollars.

"What's going on?" Zhou Chu took the box and dollars and walked out of the room, he was very sure that he would never have these things before, there were a lot of dollars, about three thousand, as for the box, he hesitated, but still opened it.

A black large-caliber pistol with a matching magazine, lying quietly in the box, this gun is very familiar to Zhou Chu - at least in the dream world, because this gun is the pistol he carried and used in his nightmares.

"That's the reward." "Of course, there are others, such as when you pass the first dream and are promoted from a rookie to the first level of survivor, certain qualities of your body will be improved, but they are not very high, and the effect will not be immediately noticed. ”…,

"What do you mean?" Zhou Chu was a little confused, at least he didn't feel that he had changed anything.

"Is it any difference that you could break one egg with one punch and now you can break two eggs with one punch, or if you were able to jump twenty centimeters off the ground and now you can jump twenty-one centimeters off the ground?" The Dead Bell uses two metaphors that make people speechless, but they can quickly understand that, yes, it is to be promoted, but this improvement is really not so easy to detect, or very little.

"And how did these things come about?" Zhou Chu gave up asking how the Nightmare World Realm improved certain qualities of the so-called body, what specific qualities they were, and what the criteria for judging them were, but how these things, pistols and dollars, appeared in his drawer, they would not have appeared out of thin air.

"Out of thin air." Stygian Bell once again showed an innocent expression, "I don't know what to do, I'm just a guide, not the Nightmare World Realm itself, if you're interested, you can install a camera and see how it appears, but I guess you can't see it, and next time, the reward will appear somewhere else." ”

Zhou Chu didn't know what Lu Dao should say, everything that Shenling said was like a fantasy, but he couldn't help it, and he didn't dare not believe it, even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't find a better reason and explanation.

"Alright." Stygian stood up, "Everything that should be explained, there are some things, the longer you stay in the Nightmare World realm, the more you will understand, just treat it as a real version of the online game, just don't accidentally play yourself to death." ”

"......" The corners of Zhou Chu's mouth twitched, he didn't know what to say, he just drank too much and replied indiscriminately, and he was inexplicably selected by this equally inexplicable guide, and entered this weird nightmare world that could kill him at any time, and this so-called guide actually let himself play this as an online game?

"You think it's innocent, don't you?" Walking to the door, the dark bell turned around and stared at Zhou Chu, "That pile of dollars, there are three thousand, if you convert it into RMB now, there are about fifteen thousand, you stayed in the Nightmare World for seven days and earned fifteen thousand, and in reality, what is your monthly salary?" ”

Zhou Chu was dumbfounded, although it was right to say this, but this ten thousand five, it is not so easy to earn, everything is full of weirdness and unreasonableness, not to mention, he will almost put his life into it at any time.

"If you don't want to, I can disqualify you from entering the Nightmare World."

"Really?" Zhou Chu was a little surprised.

"Fake." Stygian said, expressionless.

It's really a bad joke that isn't funny at all.

"If you really feel that you are innocent, then I apologize, but there is no turning back from the bow, even if you are unlucky, in short, please believe all this, and take it seriously, if you want to know more and get more, even if you don't want to know the Dao, then please try to live in the Nightmare World, because if you die, you will not know anything."

"I'm not kidding you, I'm really going to die."

The dark bell stared at Zhou Chu and said word by word.
