0:02 on February 9, 2042 (real time, if not marked below, it is the approximate time in the dream territory)

I arrived at the designated location and prepared to intervene in the dreams of an infected individual named "Lin Xiaoqian".

0:03 on February 9

I successfully intervened in the incident, and there should be no major abnormalities in my self-check memory.

I showed up on the top floor of the house where she lived, and immediately after the intervention I began to calibrate the time on my device, and then I roughly judged that the time after my intervention in the dream was basically the same as the real time.

0:06 on February 9

I avoided her parents and managed to join her.

0:15 on February 9

I made it clear to her about the situation, and after a brief hesitation, she expressed trust.

0:35 on February 9

I found two shades of light gray at the ceiling overhead, but that was only at the time of discovery.

Since it was nighttime and the lights weren't turned on in the room, I couldn't confirm exactly when it appeared, but it may have been there at the moment I intervened.

0:45 on February 9

Due to the discovery of her adoptive parents (dream clones), I could only forcibly take Lin Xiaoqian out.

In order to maintain her trust, I just knocked her parents unconscious, and did not deal with them thoroughly in front of her.

February 9 at 1:32 a.m

I opened a room not too far from her house, and the two of us stayed for a while.

But the shadow is still on the ceiling, not in the original room.

February 9 at 2:59 a.m

I'm sure the shadow is changing its human-like form very slowly, and seems to be performing certain actions, one of which seems to be a bit unusual compared to the others.

February 9, 3:02 a.m

The humanoid shadows didn't do us any real harm, and considering that we would probably need to run away at any time after this, I decided to take turns keeping vigil with Lin Xiaoqian in order to get a proper rest.

February 9 at 4:32 a.m

Since Lin Xiaoqian was already asleep, in order to avoid follow-up troubles, I quickly went back and forth without her noticing, sneaked back to her home to dispose of her adoptive father and adoptive mother in the dream, and then returned and pretended to be fine.

February 9 at 9:39 a.m

We got a decent amount of rest, and the humanoid shadow did not change or disappear by the time I woke up, and according to Lin Xiaoqian's recollections, it was tentatively assumed to have disappeared after about 5 o'clock.

February 9 at 20:02

Due to the temporary renovation of the hotel stairwell, we were forced to take the elevator this afternoon in order to go downstairs.

However, due to a sudden power outage, we were shut down by the elevator for 4 hours and 13 minutes, during which time there was a very strange crashing and crawling sound from the elevator everywhere, as if trying to enter this completely dark and enclosed space.

But after lasting dozens of minutes, it seems to have given up.

We were rescued by rescuers soon after, and after questioning the hotel manager, we learned that the hotel's power supply circuit was abnormal and could not be repaired and maintained, until it suddenly returned to normal after more than four hours.

I think that's where the clue is.

0:02 on February 10

When the wee hours came, the shadows of the two humanoids did not reappear, which is supposed to be related to the encounter of being locked in the elevator during the day, but I have never been able to draw conclusions from the analysis.

February 10 at 9:20 a.m

Although the shadow of the human figure no longer appears, we still take turns keeping vigil until dawn.

Lin Xiaoqian seems to have noticed the problem of not showing up with the police for a long time, and I can feel her suspicions during this period, but she does not show it clearly.

February 10 at 20:21

Even though I took her out all day, it was still a day of nothing.

I wonder if the phenomenon of "this shadow only appears at night" is itself a cue suggestion, but this is counterintuitive because we can't run to a place where there is a polar day.

The scope of this incident is only one city, which has been confirmed before.

February 10 at 22:03

I found out that there is a very well-known ultraviolet beauty hospital in this city, and I thought that this might be one of the ways to survive, so I decided to take Lin Xiaoqian to go immediately.

0:51 on February 11

It didn't work, the humanoid shadow still appeared, though it still didn't hurt us.

But I noticed that it was constantly changing its body shape and making various behaviors, which obviously had implications, but I didn't analyze any useful information.

In addition to that, I realized that the appearance of the humanoid shadows was most likely unrelated to sunlight, but I confirmed that they were mimicking the behavior of me and Lin Xiaoqian.

Also, I decided to keep her in the hotel if I didn't have to, so that at least the chance of her being in danger would be minimized.

February 11 at 20:02

Today we found a newspaper, and perhaps this is the clue to the 'door' (for more information about it, please refer to the attachment in the archive).

But zero o'clock will also come soon, and I wonder if the situation will change tonight.

February 12 at 1:40 a.m

The humanoid shadow did reappear, and this time we did feel a little different.

Our bodies seemed to begin to be affected by the humanoid's movements, and involuntarily changed shapes with it, and the whole process lasted for nearly an hour.

February 12 at 8:02 a.m

After regaining control of my body, I asked Lin Xiaoqian to go to bed earlier, but I myself had been thinking about what happened in the early hours of the morning until now.

My guess is that this humanoid shadow is not just imitating us.

Judging by their extremely slow behavior at the beginning and then accelerating later, after a few days, they will soon be in sync with us.

And at that point, it will have no movements to imitate.

So what happens?

I think it may surpass us, and the relationship between the two of us is that of "person" and "shadow", and it is normal for shadow to move with people.

But once the "shadow" surpasses the "person", then what happens?

Judging by what happened last night......

The moment they overtake us, it may be time for "people" and "shadows" to switch places with each other.

February 12 at 20:49

During the day today, I went out to investigate what was involved in the newspaper lead, and although I found something, there was no substantial progress for the time being.

Although we have a general idea of how we will die, there is still no answer to the clues about how we will live.

February 13 at 3:13 a.m

The humanoid shadow reappears as promised.

This time, Lin Xiaoqian was also affected a few seconds later than me.

No, it's time to change to control.

The two of us were controlled for nearly two hours.

Fortunately, we just keep doing relatively simple behaviors such as standing, sitting, and lying down, as if they are adapting to our bodies.

But what if it's next time?

Do we have a chance to break free again?

February 13 at 8:15 a.m

After a short break, I thought about the whole night again.

I have always wondered before, since we have begun to be attacked by "ghosts", it means that the clues have already been given.

But I have sorted out my experience many times in the past few days, and I have never been able to find any doubts other than that time when I was locked in the elevator.

That experience was actually quite contradictory.

First of all, the humanoid only appears at night, but this time, despite being in the dark, the time is actually daytime.

We were exposed to the anomaly in the car, but unharmed, as if to tell us that we were safe during the day.

But now I understand that that that one time, in fact, was the real clue.

The rules allow us to know the weaknesses of ghosts, but they are not straightforward.

That experience was not meant to show that it was safe during the day, but to show us that the human form does not appear during the day, and that it is always with us.

It......

It's our shadow.

At night, they will break away from our bodies and move to the ceiling, and at night when the human form appears, we will probably have no shadow.

It's just that we keep our eyes on the ceiling and don't pay attention to the soles of our feet.

The only difference between that experience and the rest of the experience was that the hotel was in a state of complete power outage, so the elevator car was completely dark, and we didn't see the human form that night after those hours of darkness.

But the "ghost" diverted our attention with the sound of the crash outside the car.

"Oni" are not afraid of light.

Instead, it relies heavily on light ......

Because.

There is no shadow in the darkness.

Where there is light, there is "shadow".

A scene with light can make it grow stronger and stronger until it is completely adapted to us.

But this is not to say that it will die if it does not see the light, but that darkness can slow its growth relatively slowly, or fall into a state of weakness.

So much so that it is difficult to appear at night to control us before it completely dominates us.

The way to survive is to stay out of the night as much as possible, and then avoid places with a lot of light sources so that you can stay in the shade for a long time.

In this way, the time we spend looking for the "door" can be greatly extended.

February 13 at 14:01

After further investigation, we should have found the location of the "door".

We speculate that the location of the gate is on Zhongyue East Road (for more information on it, please refer to the file annex), which is on the border of the city, which is the place of origin, and that the event can be left when you reach it.

But we are too late to analyze the way of birth.

Even if it's daytime, our bodies are already out of control from time to time.

I can only try it while I can still move.

February 9, 4:39 (real time)

End of event.

Lin Xiaoqian dragged me through the door at the last moment, and I survived, but she died over there.
