Welcome to the Nightmare Game

{cw: discussion of miscarriage, gore}

As soon as they returned to the copy world, they saw Dr. Lu standing with them, staring at their hands that were still in a handshake and seeing them move. He was also surprised: So fast? Just five or six seconds!

The flow of time in the field is very different from that outside. We talked inside for nearly an hour, Su He said.

With his mouth open, Dr. Lu said with envy, Its so good, cant you just rest in the field? Can you be healed in the field if youre injured?

Su He smiled and said, I havent evolved my field enough to bring my body inside, and there are still many restrictions within the field. If its my own task, it should be impossible to open the field during the task, as the system has restrictions on this.

Oh Dr. Lu was a little disappointed, and then cheered up. Should we go back? Look, the door has appeared.

Qi Leren also looked back at the castle door, which stood there as if it had never disappeared.

Eh? Are you going to finish your task? At present, your completion is only 45%. Su He closed his eyes, as if to confirm some information, and then reported the task completion to them.

30% can get 20 survival days! Dr Lu said happily, not greedy at all.

Su He seemed to be surprised by his unproductive attitude, and then looked at Qi Leren, who was hesitating and had been caught red-handed secretly glancing at Su He.

Do you want to encourage us to fight again? Qi Leren asked Su He.

Dr. Lu looked him dead in the eyes and said: This is the rhythm of playing the true ending. You nearly bashed in your head to get the simple ending, and you want to play the true ending

Su He looked at them with a smile: Isnt there me?

Huh? Dr. Lu looked at him in surprise. But you dont have any skill cards that can be used in this kind of investigation task, do you?

Qi Leren wasnt surprised. Just now, he felt that Su He was helpful.

I can use this. If you encounter any danger later, Ill rely on you. Su He pointed to his forehead and said calmly. He spoke naturally, without showing off, but this confident attitude infected the two, and they couldnt help believing him.

Well said well said, this time we want to get a big prize! Qi Leren, you have to protect Su He! Every hair on his head! Dr. Lu didnt have a practical concept of Su Hes strength, and he couldnt use his skill card, so he subconsciously put him on the same level as himself.

Qi Leren, with a slap in the mouth, felt that Su He meant that if they were in danger, they had to find a way to protect themselves. He only provided consultation and help, but did not provide combat support. Although he suspected that Su He could beat all the monsters in this copy without skill cards, he didnt think that such senior players would rely on skill cards.

Where do we start? Qi Leren asked.

Although both of you have told me about this mission, its inevitable that there are gaps. I have doubts about several points. The first one is the NPC Nina. Unfortunately, now were in the world outer, and it will take at least an hour to see her. Su He played with his cane and thought, But I think I should go to the room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. I have some vague guesses that need to be verified.

Well, we just havent been to Ninas room in the outer world. Qi Leren recalled the course of action he and Dr. Lu had taken before, and he really didnt go to that room when he was in the outer world.

Whats wrong with that room? Dr. Lu asked.

Many questions. The most direct one, why is the door of a room locked from the outside? Su He asked.

Uh Dr. Lu froze.

Then Qi Leren realized what the sense of unease was when he first heard Ninas call. There was also a small room in the big room at the end of the corridor, and it was a separate room, but this room has two locks inside and outside - Qi Leren had noticed before, this door had an internal lock. Now looking back, the lock outside should have been added later, a very rough lock, which could be opened only by being snapped, and there was no standard lock that needed a key to be opened.

Do you suspect theres a problem with Nina? Qi Leren asked.

I dont want to rule out this possibility until I find enough clues, Su He said calmly.

I told you before that I saw an illusion after I found the third devil sacrifice in the basement. In that illusion, Nina released the crazy lady who was locked in the basement. I think she may be a good person, Qi Leren thought.

But its also possible that she had a different motive. Dr. Lu touched his chin and said, Why did she help the crazy lady escape? Because she was loyal to the crazy lady? I think shes quite suspicious. When we asked about the crazy ladys miscarriage, her tone oh, it was guilty.

Dr. Lu said: And the male owner of this castle is also very strange. After his wife miscarried and went crazy, he locked her in the dark basement. They seemed to be very loving before, so this would be strange if there was no problem.

Adeline, Qi Leren said a name. The crazy lady seemed to believe that this woman named Adeline was the chief culprit of her miscarriage. She took away Johanns love, but she said Adeline was a kind and stupid woman, which was very contradictory. Besides, Adeline was already dead.

This name is a bit familiar Dr. Lu scratched his head. Oh, Johann mentioned Adeline in his diary. It seems to be a friend of the crazy lady, but I think she and Johann seemed to be in a bit of a situation.

You mentioned this. Are the diaries and letters still there? Let me see, Su He said.

I kept them with me. Dr. Lu handed Su He the diary and letter he had found in his study.

Su Hes reading speed was very fast, and he only glanced at it and returned it: The situation is more complicated Lets go and see Nina first.

Done talking, the three headed for Ninas corridor. There was no electrical lighting in the world. Su He still hand in his hand the candlestick that had been found in some unknown place, and Dr. Lu also held a flashlight. Only Qi Leren, whose mobile phone had died, had to walk behind them, while planning to go back to the second floor later and get his flashlight back from the piano room.

Hahahahaha Adeline, Johann, stop! Strange laughter came from a distance behind him. The three people immediately turned back. Outside the corridor, a familiar figure ran to the stairs. She wore a long dress and laughed as she ran all the way. The strange laughter that was like crying permeated the dark.

Nan Lu! Dr. Lu recognized her.

Shes gotten worse, Qi Leren thought with worry. Dr. Lu said before that Nan Lu was scared away after he entered the basement. At that time, he had a bad feeling. Now it had been fulfilled: Lets go and see, maybe its the plot.

The three people then ran back, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw three people confronting each other on the landing of the curved staircase.

Under the empty copper frame, Nan Lu, dressed in a gown, held Xiao Hongs right hand, while Luo Xueyi, who was also dressed in a gown, held Xiao Hongs left hand. The two women pulled Xiao Hong, who was the only one sane, from left to right. He shouted in horror: Dont pull! Its going to break, its going to break! Let go!

Adeline! You let go! Nan Lu screamed and shouted.

Luo Xueyi took Xiao Hongs arm and giggled: Who is Adeline? Adeline is dead, I am not Adeline, I am Sarah, Sarah von Wolff, I am you!

Let go, please, let go! It hurts, it hurts, ahhh-! The severe pain made Xiao Hongs face redden and shed tears. He cried bitterly, but the two women who pulled him from left to right had inhuman power and he couldnt escape at all.

Get out of here, youre dead! Go back to hell and keep the devil company! Never appear again, go away, go away! The screams of Nan Lu were piercing and bitter, and there was a faint trace of fear.

Luo Xueyi smiled at her, then at Xiao Hong who was crying for mercy, giggling, and catching Xiao Hongs arm with her other hand, and then pulling hard-

The harsh light of thunder and lightning lit up outside the window, accompanied by a rolling clap of thunder. Xiao Hongs screams come to an abrupt end, and a disgusting tearing sound followed by something wet, like the sound of torn fabrics, like the sound of soaked sponges being torn apart, and then the sound of rain falling on the ground

There was a bloody rain on the landing of the stairs, and internal organs fell to the ground. Xiao Hongs body seemed to have been split by a mysterious force from head to toe, perfectly divided into two halves. Luo Xueyi dragged a bloody half of his body and ran to the higher staircase while laughing crazily. Her dress, which was exactly the same as the crazy lady in the portrait, was covered with blood, and two long bloody marks were dragged out on the ground together with Xiao Hongs half-body.

Nan Lu gawked at the half body in her hands. Only half of his brain had fallen out of his skull, half hanging on the bloody bone, leaving only the nerve connecting the brain to keep it from rolling to the ground, but the internal organs were not treated so well, and the body split down the middle could no longer stop the bloody intestines and internal organs from flowing all over the floor.

She suddenly began to cry, holding only half the body to sob, and the cry echoed in the dark.
