Chapter 16

Increased scare value, enhanced role-playing, and unlocked abilities.

[Nightmare: Among countless dreams, you are the one that cannot wake up]

The headless man stood in front of everyone. Although he didn't even have a head, everyone looking at him always felt that he was actually smiling at them. He had the demeanor of a polite noble gentleman who maintained his decency and grace. Just standing there, even without moving, he seemed to be emitting the elegant aroma of coffee and milk.

The girl's stomach growled. She finally got up from the ground, slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her forehead, woke up, opened her eyes, saw the woman at first sight, subconsciously wanted to get closer to her, and smiled: "Sister! That's great, I had a terrible nightmare, I thought you, you, you——"

As she spoke, she gradually woke up from her coma, her confused memory was corrected, and she realized that what she was facing was not a living person at all, but a strange part that had lost its head but could still speak.

The girl's expression gradually turned into one of stunnedness. She didn't know how she should react, because she had indeed seen with her own eyes the woman's head fall off her neck. She couldn't just think that this was a living person. Her relationship with the woman was not so good that she would have to run over to catch her head after it fell off.

The girl stepped back, looked around, and saw Husserl standing next to her who seemed to be limping. She carefully moved over and gave Husserl, who was looking down at her, a shy, fawning and awkward smile, with her face flushed.

Husser retracted his gaze and did not tell her to get out of here. She thought she could get closer and quickly quickened her pace. She got close to Husser, slowly stood up, and holding onto the tree trunk beside her, she asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Didn't everyone get separated? Now they're all together again?"

Husserl took a step to the side, distanced himself, and asked cautiously: "Weren't you the one who left at the beginning? How did you know that everyone dispersed afterwards? Did you see it? When did you see it? What else do you know? How did you know it?"

The girl covered her head and said, "I don't know, I'm not sure, but I guess."

She smiled at Husserl and said, "This kind of thing is not difficult to guess. Didn't we separate before? We gathered together again after we separated, and then separated again. I left for the second time, how could I not guess it? I'm not making it up. It's either separation or gathering. Judging from the way you look, you must have separated. If you were together from the beginning, I'm afraid you would ask me where I went."

Husserl was skeptical and didn't want to spend too much time on her, so he nodded perfunctorily: "Yes."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and tried to get closer to Husserl, but Husserl kept moving to the side and avoiding her as if he had a radar on him.

The girl was a little sad and stood there, looking depressed.

Zhang Caixia glanced at her, sneered, and didn't bother to meddle in other people's business. Instead, she shouted to the headless man, "Hey! Why do you want us to come here? Send us back down the mountain as soon as possible, or we will make you pay!"

The girl and Husserl looked speechless, thinking, if you say that, it would be a miracle if it is willing to do so.

Sure enough, the headless man did not answer.

Zhang Caixia was a little impatient and angry. She frowned and walked two or three steps in a circle. Suddenly, she turned around and kicked a big stone at the headless man. There was a bang, and the stone went through the headless man's body and hit the bigger stone behind him. It slowly fell to the ground, rolled for a distance, and stopped on the ground.

As luck would have it, the stone stopped at the side of Zhang Caixia's shoes. She blushed a little, kicked the stone again, and shouted to the people around her: "What are you looking at? If you look at it again, I'll dig out your eyes! If you tell anyone, I'll kill you!"

Everyone withdrew their gaze.

The stone suddenly exploded.

There was a loud bang and stone debris flew everywhere. Everyone who was touched by the stone debris lost their hair, and it looked like they had suddenly become bald.

Everyone was stunned.

Many people touched their hair, held their hats in disbelief, with a look of confusion, feeling that reality was so absurd, funny and ridiculous that they were almost stunned.

They didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The same happened to Zhang Caixia. She was closest to the stone, and the stone exploded suddenly, without any warning. She had no time to react at all. It happened too fast, and she had no time to do anything. She only heard a deafening sound and something swaying in front of her eyes. She reached out her hand and grabbed something in mid-air. She opened her hand and saw that it was a stone.

Another stone!

Zhang Caixia said angrily: "What a piece of crap!"

As she spoke, she threw the thing in her hand to the ground, stomped on it twice, and finally rubbed and crushed it with her shoe sole. She still felt unsatisfied and her teeth were itching. She looked around and glared at the headless man. If it was a test before, now it was anger. She wanted to rush up and kill him right now, but the headless man was obviously not a living person, and if he was not a living person, she could not kill him.

Zhang Caixia cursed in her heart when she thought of this inescapable logic, wondering what kind of sick brain could come up with such a weird thing!

She didn't yet know the extent of the natural disaster that would happen around the world and that was unstoppable.

That day is not far away.

The headless man raised his hand, and in it was a woman's arm, which was taken from the female student.

The arm was pointed directly at Zhang Caixia. Zhang Caixia frowned and was about to curse, but before she could open her mouth, her mouth was blocked by a handful of stones. Blood flowed from her throat as she swallowed, and even her lips were scratched by the stones. She looked like a savage stealing shells from the backyard of an octopus in the sea, or a monster covered with vines.

The girl ran away from her in panic, shouting, "How horrible! I've turned into a monster! Is there no way to change back? I don't want to be like that!"

Zhang Caixia glared at her.

The girl ran farther, but she didn't dare to run too far, for fear that if something happened she wouldn't be discovered in time, or that she would be killed because of the range problem, which would be too unfair.

Husserl also stepped back without hesitation, away from Zhang Caixia.

Even the Zhang family's bodyguards couldn't help but keep their distance. Only Zhang Zhaoxia took a step forward, hugged Zhang Caixia, and comforted her, "It's okay, it will definitely get better, don't be afraid."

Zhang Caixia hugged him, but didn't cry. She blinked her eyes and was very calm. Crying was useless, tears were unnecessary, fear and shock were unnecessary. As long as her brother was here, nothing mattered.

She swallowed the pile of stones, spit out a mouthful of blood, wiped her mouth, her face turned pale, but now she looked like nothing had happened. Husserl walked back tentatively with doubt, thinking that Zhang Caixia would angrily throw stones at her and drive her away. After all, he had just walked away. Even if he was not a member of the Zhang family or a bodyguard of the Zhang family, Zhang Caixia probably would not be indifferent.

But no.

Perhaps Zhang Caixia has realized that she cannot defeat the headless man.

Congratulations.

Husserl sat boldly beside her and glanced at Zhang Caixia, but Zhang Caixia didn't look at him.

The woman said to them, “My master’s things are missing, and I need your help to find them. If you are not willing to look for them, then you can die. Even after you die, you will still help.”

The girl was so scared that she started crying, crying and shouting, "I do!"

Husserl also said: "I do."

After discussing it, Zhang Chaoxia and Zhang Caixia both agreed, so the Zhang family's bodyguards naturally had to agree as well.

The girl asked cautiously, "What is the range? Where do we have to look and when do we have to stop? What are we looking for?"

The woman sighed, with an expression that said, "How can you all be so stupid?" She replied, "It's right here on this mountain. Look for golf balls wherever you can get to. Golf clubs, human heads, scattered corpses or bodies without hands..."

The girl listened with a look of despair: "How can I find so many things?"

The woman said, "You don't have to find them all. If you find one, it will count."

The girl held on to a faint hope and asked, "If we find it, can we get out?"

The woman said, "It depends on my mood."

As she spoke, she smiled at the girl. The girl thought she would come closer to whisper something, but she suddenly exploded in front of everyone with a bang, and turned into a thin arm, crawling towards the headless man. The girl could not help but lie on the ground and vomit.

She found the scene disgusting. In fact, the woman's exploded body looked no different from a living person. The ground was covered with blood, meat scraps that usually appear in the kitchen, long human bones, hair, nails, eyeballs, teeth, and all those odds and ends were spread on the ground like a lousy quilt.

The girl felt weak all over and could hardly get up.

Husserl helped her up, then quickly withdrew his hand and walked away.

Zhang Caixia pulled Zhang Zhaoxia and said, "Then let's go."

The headless man picked up his arm from the ground. He looked good-tempered, like the kind of man who would go shopping with his boss's unreasonable daughter. He just didn't have a head, but the fact that he didn't have a head was scary enough, not to mention that he looked so gentle. How could he be so gentle? This was what was even more frightening. A wolf with white wool and a vegetarian diet?

I'm afraid that kind of existence can only appear in imagination.

Zhang Caixia had a relatively clear understanding of the current situation. She supported Zhang Zhaoxia and limped away. The previous stone had injured her legs. She could still walk and run, but it was very painful.

The woman's voice suddenly shouted, "I will watch you every once in a while, and if anyone slacks off, they will be punished!"
