Chapter 36 Apartment Copy (9)
Ning Hanqi closed her eyes. She could clearly hear the bed upstairs collapse, the table shatter, and some cabinets fall to the ground with a loud bang...
The two monsters roared. The room above should have been completely destroyed. If it weren't for the rules protecting the rooms where players lived, Ning Hanqi suspected that the two monsters above could break through the floors and fall into her house.
"Bang!"
“Crash!”
"Yes, thank you for your help."
"So you are from the hotel?"
"Yes, my boss asked me to come over to check on the guests. I'll get in the car with you guys."
The madman was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't figured out what was going on and why his mother, who was far away in his hometown, suddenly came over. However, because he had not only failed to make any money but also owed a huge debt since he started working hard, and now he was doing dirty things, he was too ashamed to see his mother.
All kinds of complicated emotions emerged in his heart, and he subconsciously shrank and wanted to hide, so that he missed the best time to escape.
But with Xia Yingnuan around, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Ning Hanqi knew that this sleepiness was abnormal, but she couldn't control her sleepiness and seemed to have dozed off accidentally.
Then she found herself sitting on the bed in the guest room, and it was still dark, as if what happened last night was repeating itself, making it difficult to distinguish which was an illusion and which was reality.
"Boom!" The hull suddenly shook violently. Ning Hanqi was about to stand up to check what was going on, but her door was kicked open.
The ones who came in were the protagonists of the movie. The leader seemed relieved when he saw her, but his expression was still nervous.
"Let's go!" Without any explanation, the other party grabbed Ning Hanqi's arm and ran out.
Did I enter the movie? Did I break the rules by making the sound I just made?
Ning Hanqi was thinking while running.
"Nuannuan?" She squeezed the puppet around her neck, but the puppet didn't respond at all.
No, it seems like I haven’t entered the movie either.
She pinched her arm hard, but it didn't hurt.
Well, it seems that this must be a dream. Just as the intelligence said, the player will fall into a deep sleep in the middle of the movie. This is a step that cannot be avoided, and even the little princess has to obey it.
But once a person falls asleep, how can they control their body? If they talk in their sleep or turn over, they're gone. How sinister is this arrangement!
Ning Hanqi was not afraid of talking in her sleep or moving around, after all, Xia Yingnuan was by her side and would definitely prevent these things from happening. But she suddenly fell asleep as if in a coma, and Nuannuan must be very anxious, so she had to wake up quickly.
Although she had been mentally prepared, Xia Yingnuan still felt a tightness in her heart when she found that Ning Hanqi suddenly fell asleep. She hugged the person in her arms, muttering in her heart that she must follow the protagonist in the dream to find the "exit" as soon as possible.
“Ahhh!!”
At this moment, a player let out a short scream, and the next second he appeared in the movie in a daze, facing the monster's bloody mouth full of teeth.
Then two, three...
Even if these players have some skills, they cannot perfectly control their bodies in their sleep.
Ning Hanqi was sleeping quite well, not moving at all, but this actually scared Xia Yingnuan a little, causing her to check Ning Hanqi's breath from time to time.
Sea Hare was the first among the players to wake up. After all, she had had the same dream countless times and could wake up from it with her eyes closed.
The second is Zhuang Meng. Although she seems unfocused and lazy, her abilities are much greater than what she seems.
After a while, Gao Yu woke up, but Ning Hanqi was still sleeping. Her face even began to turn pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat covered her forehead.
This situation was obviously not right. Xia Yingnuan's face suddenly turned ugly. She glanced at the sea hare. The little girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.
They were really just falling asleep and were not hurt at all. It would be okay even if they were eaten by monsters in their dreams.
Then why did Gao Yu wake up, but Ning Hanqi hasn’t woken up yet?
"Are all your dreams the same?"
Hearing the sudden voice from the bottom of his heart, the sea hare shuddered slightly, then nodded hurriedly.
The dreams that players have are basically the same, they are all content from the movie. Sea Hare has accumulated enough experience, and as long as they follow her plan, they will be able to wake up in the shortest time, unless something else goes wrong.
Ning Hanqi is naturally not someone who likes to cause trouble for herself, but she can't help but feel that trouble is coming to her.
Few people notice that they are actually playing the role of a cannon fodder in a movie while they are sleeping. They only need to follow the protagonist to the next "safe point" and then be eaten by the monster hiding there before they can wake up.
But after she was eaten by the monster, she found that she did not wake up immediately. She heard strange noises in the dark, and then her consciousness was taken to a strange place.
Gradually, she began to see things: corals, schools of fish, jellyfish, and even monsters hidden in the corners...
Is this the seabed?
She felt as if she was swimming in the sea, and this body was not her own.
She saw herself gradually swimming into an even darker abyss, where there would occasionally be faint lights. Those were the eyes of other monsters. The moment they saw herself, they closed their eyes in fear, as if they were afraid that she would notice them.
When the madman noticed the conversation between Ning Hanqi and the men in white coats, alarm bells rang in his heart and he turned around and wanted to run, but several hands reached out and trapped him, one of which even belonged to his mother.
"Don't be afraid, my child. If you are sick, we will treat it well and it will definitely be cured." The mother's eyes were full of worry.
There was a van not far away. The men in white coats were incredibly strong. The madman had no ability to resist at all and was dragged away like a chicken with its neck strangled.
"Wait! Who are you! Mom, Mom! Who are they? Where are you taking me?!" The madman was unwilling to get in the car. While struggling, he looked back at his biological mother who was following behind him. At this time, his mother let go of her hand, and was supported by the woman with tears in her eyes, whom he regarded as a commodity.
"Don't be sad, Auntie. Medical technology is so advanced nowadays, it will definitely be cured. You have to be strong. Our hotel leaders also take this matter very seriously. Your son is not only a guest but also a former employee. We will provide you with assistance within our capabilities..."
The lights in the van were on, and the madman saw a sign inside... xx Mental Hospital.
"I'm not mentally ill! Mom! I'm not mentally ill, I'm normal!" the madman yelled, but unfortunately his own mother had already fallen into Ning Hanqi's sweet words and kept thanking her and the leaders of the hotel, turning a deaf ear to her son's explanation.
"Doctor, please, my son often said that he saw some strange things when he was young. I didn't pay attention to it at that time and thought he was just joking. I didn't expect that he had a mental problem. I should have taken him to see a doctor at that time... Is there any hope now?" The madman's mother looked at the people in the mental hospital pleadingly.
"We are doing our best to treat them." The staff at the mental hospital only gave an ambiguous statement.
“…” When he was a child, he was just suffering from Chuunibyou! But now he saw a real ghost!
"Mom, listen to me, there are really ghosts in this world! They are right behind us! Let's run!" When the madman mentioned ghosts, he immediately thought of those monsters wrapped in flames running out. At this time, he could not care about anything else. He wanted to take his mother and escape!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the gazes around him all turned into "As expected", and the last glimmer of hope in the old lady's eyes was extinguished.
"...If you don't believe me, ask her!" The madman actually thought Ning Hanqi would help him explain. "You also saw those ghosts just now! Explain to them quickly!"
Unfortunately, when he looked at Ning Hanqi's usual gentle smile, he inexplicably felt a creepy feeling.
"Is he like this usually?" the staff of the mental hospital asked Ning Hanqi.
"Yes, he kept saying that there were ghosts in the hotel, and there were all kinds of ghost-exorcising props in the guest rooms. Occasionally, this guest would be aggressive, and our guest room staff had all been attacked." Ning Hanqi ignored the madman's words and only answered the staff's questions.
"...You!" The madman finally realized that something was wrong with Ning Hanqi. "Don't you also believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
She had discussed this with me before, and she seemed to believe in what I said. How could she suddenly turn against me? No, no, no, my mother and the car that came to pick her up from the mental hospital showed up here at the same time. It was obviously a premeditated act!
"In order to stabilize the guest's emotions, we usually go along with him..." Ning Hanqi said to the staff of the mental hospital.
Those people expressed their understanding, and then with a force, they pulled the madman who was clinging to the side of the car and was unwilling to go in. Those people were professionals, and in no time they pressed the madman who was twisted like an earthworm onto the hospital bed and tied him up tightly with a restraint belt.
The madman started cursing, and then he was stabbed with a syringe and became completely quiet.
Ning Hanqi pulled the old lady into the car to the mental hospital. The old lady was secretly worried, so she secretly exchanged a glance with Xia Yingnuan.
Xia Yingnuan nodded, then released the broken souls she had collected.
The enemy was right in front of them, and those souls rioted instantly. Gusts of cold wind blew into the van before the door was closed. Their own strength was too weak to hurt the madman, but Xia Yingnuan helped them, allowing them to use the bodies of those staff members as a medium to avenge their grievances and take revenge.
It shouldn’t be like this…
The madman, who was trying hard to stay conscious, looked at the dazzling lights, his heart filled with unwillingness. He thought of the several "goods" he had handled before. Everything was going well, so why was he the one who was tied into the car?
What time is it now? The car over there hasn't arrived yet? The madman is still fantasizing that his accomplice will arrive in time to save him.
But in his blurry vision, the appearance of those staff members gradually changed. His eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs seemed to be bulging out.
After that, the woman stopped knocking on the door.
Ning Hanqi saw the house number - 401.
In the dark night, the woman jumped from the rooftop, but the bitter fate still did not let her go. There was a decades-old tree growing next to the apartment, and its trunk blocked the woman's falling body. She hit the ground with her head and might not even have died immediately.
Blood spread all around. When the pain turned into hatred, the regret and unwillingness while waiting for death became the nourishment for the evil spirit. The corpse lying quietly on the ground suddenly turned its head to look at the man and the ghost outside the phone, with an exaggerated arc at the corner of its mouth.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The blood on the ground in the video spilled out of the phone.
