In the dusty square, you can vaguely see the rose pattern on the floor of the Dream Division Hall, and the translucent dark gray light flows, giving people the feeling that if you don't leave, you will immediately collapse.

"This is the inducing effect of nightmares on people in the dream world, just overcome it a little psychologically." In Merlin's sea of knowledge, the nightmare reminds Marquez, who has some impulse in his legs to enter the hotel.

"Induce?"

"That is, subconscious actions, nightmares are basically invincible in the dream world, and they can even affect the subjective consciousness of creatures." Merlin explained.

"Then why don't you just manipulate us to die?"

"Of course—" Merlin rolled his eyes, scoffing at the thought, "it's impossible. Even I can't make anyone who enters our dreams die, it's a restriction engraved in the soul. ”

"Oh......"

Merlin in the dream world turned his head to look around. There were fourteen people in total.

He's thirteen, his father, and Sheldon is twelve.

"Twelve......" Sheldon stretched out his left hand, trying to hold Merlin's little hand, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and the outstretched hand hung in the air, suddenly becoming extremely stiff, "Don't touch anyone, including me, you know?" ”

"Why?"

"Because no one knows that he is a 'murderer.'" Peman said angrily, a man in front of her was actually sobbing quietly, and the number belonging to Peman was number three.

"What now?" Someone asked, and the number displayed on his wrist was ten.

"Giggles! You all have to die...... This game is still very interesting. Despair...... I want you to taste this despair, helpless......" The familiar voice instantly gathered everyone's attention, and the number on Houston's wrist was one, "This is the result of your 'sacrifice' of my wife and children in the first place!" ”

"You!" Someone raised his hand, and the magic of his fingertips exploded, "In my name!" ”

"Stop!" Peyman hurriedly stopped and waved his hand to disperse the magic he was about to release, "Even if it wasn't the 'murderer' who killed someone, he would have forcibly convened a trial meeting!" ”

"So what! As long as someone abstains from voting, 'forgiveness' is good! "That guy is number four.

"But ......," Sheldon said calmly, hugging his chest, "I might not choose 'forgiveness,' for example. ”

The atmosphere suddenly went to freezing point.

This sentence, like a cold blade, pierced everyone's veins......

No one knows what the other party will think, if the most efficient escape, then directly kill people on the spot and convene a trial conference, three times in a row......

That's going to kill at least half of the people......

"Woo...... No! No! No! Don't touch me! Don't die! A younger man, with his legs limp, howled out in pain, his number eight was watering, tears streaming down his face, and his throat was dry like an old bellows.

"......" Peman had already expected this to happen, "So, let's go in first, remember not to touch anyone, follow the rules set by the nightmare, and no one will be sacrificed for the time being." ”

"Number Three, magic can still be used inside [Dream Realm]." Sheldon stared at Houston, who was smiling not far away, "But you can't hide your figure." ”

"Go in first, be careful not to touch anyone." Peman sighed, glanced worriedly at Houston, and strode in.

"Twelve, am I going to call you Twelve?" Merlin said.

"Yes...... Maybe. "Sheldon doesn't know if Merlin will still be affected by the rules, so it's better to be conservative first. Still, his act of rubbing the mark off left a deep impression on him.

"Shall we go in?"

"Ignore them, let's go in first." Sheldon withdrew his hand to take Merlin and whispered.

The first thing to look into now is the Nightmare Hotel itself. Only a fool would recklessly touch someone, in case one of them is accidentally finished.

So, the two followed Peman's footsteps into the door of the inn.

"There are more shackles between the rules." "But there's also more freedom between the rules. ”

"As long as you don't break the rules set by Nightmare, you can do whatever you want...... Moreover, the seven emotions and six desires of people in the [Dream Realm] will be induced to amplify. In the midst of the sea, Merlin reminded Márquez, "Of course, we won't, its rules don't work for us." ”

The soft brown blanket was laid out in the lobby of the hotel, the old chandelier on the roof was mottled yellow, the walls were old, and the blood-colored roses were painted on them, and the visibility was so low that the rooms in front of them were only a dozen steps away.

"Thirteen, don't touch the wall, dirty." Sheldon saw that the walls were old, presumably covered in dust.

"It's not dirty." Merlin scratched the pattern of the blood-colored rose with his fingers, and found that there was not a single trace of dirt on his fingers.

"Yes......" Sheldon had no intention of being here, and one room after another crossed his eyes, and finally paused, unscrewing the old-looking doorknob.

One hand of gray ......

Sheldon turned his head speechlessly, his eyes glancing at Merlin's hand......

White and flawless, pink and tender...... Okay, no dust, what? Well?

"Each room is for one person only...... In other words, during the day, others can come and go freely. Sheldon muttered quietly, looked into the room, saw nothing particularly strange inside, and walked in three or two steps.

"Huh?" Sheldon jerked his head back, because he noticed that the wooden door, which had been fine just now, was actually buzzing at this time!

There was no ink, no paintbrushes, and a neat black ink blot of "Number Twelve" appeared out of thin air, printed on the previously empty door plate.

"In other words, each person's identity will be automatically recognized by each room......"

The room is very spacious, but not big, for some reason there is a bookshelf with a few books on it, and there is a desk in the corner with a bottle of red ink on it, and a quill is inserted, which is not new overall, but it is also pleasing to the eye.

The bed was of course essential, there wasn't much dust on it, there was a light at the head of the bed, and Sheldon noticed that there was a button next to it, presumably a switch to activate.

At this time, Merlin followed Sheldon, and constantly looked around, trying to see what was famous.

"The rules set by the Nightmare are only the most superficial things, remember, it created the Dream Realm to kill all the people inside and take away their life force." "You don't have to be a 'killer' to kill, and that's a great way to make people suspicious of each other." ”

"Then how do you distinguish between a person killed by a 'murderer' and a person killed by ordinary people in order to get out?"

"We don't know how the 'killers' kill people now, but if we see the situation first, if we die when we touch someone, there should be no injuries...... But the killer can disguise the victim......" Nightmare's voice floated with a hint of hesitation, "It's complicated anyway, let's take it one step at a time." ”

"And what if it's a curse?" Márquez's mouth spat out words that surprised Nightmare, "I can't see it like that." ”

"Curse ...... There will be traces of magic power, everyone present is a warlock, it is impossible not to detect it, everyone's magic breath is different...... If you go back based on this information, then it is easy to find the killer. ”

"Hmm......" Márquez was gone.

Nightmare continued, "You're now in a 'free man' form, which means that the rules won't work for us, but it also prevents us from probing the entire dream world. But I'm sure your dear 'Father' will do it for you. ”

"Thirteen." Sheldon looked at Merlin in a daze, his brain racing.

In the "Rules", it is said that only one person can live in the guest room...... But it does not indicate that only one person can be accommodated!

He now had to decide on something he wanted to know.

Wow! The footsteps are powerful, and they don't drag the mud and water in the slightest.

"Thirteenth, come out with me." Sheldon was a little disgusted by the name, because it would make people look like the living person in front of him as not human.

"Okay." Merlin nodded, and followed Sheldon out of the room with small steps.

Really...... The black handwriting on the wooden door was rubbed repeatedly by a piece of eraser, and gradually faded.

"Thirteen, I repeat, don't touch anyone, including me, you know? If someone comes to touch you, run away with all your might, and I'll try to stay by your side. ”

Sheldon looked at the doorknob in front of him again.

There is no lock on it......

Fourteen people one after another, some hysterical, some frightened, and of course, some experienced this seemingly endless journey with a playful mentality.

They all entered the strange hotel.

"Whew!" Eight was the last to enter the hotel, timid as a mouse, and the tears on his face had not yet been wiped away in time.

His hind feet stepped into the threshold, and suddenly, the wind howled, and lifted him into the lobby of the hotel.

Boom!

He looked back with a pale face, his throat gurgling, and his pupils shrank at the sight.

The door to the inn was shut.

The game has officially begun.

"Everyone! Ladies and gentlemen——! Hello everyone! I'm the innkeeper, Barbatos! Let me tell you about the infrastructure of the hotel......

Sounds from all directions poured into everyone's minds.

and...... Giggle......! "The smile was hideous.
