Chapter 257 Different Beds and Dreams
Covering up the illumination of the corpse oil lamp, the girl squatting in the pile of clothes in the corner still did not disappear. Judging from the corpse oil lamp placed at her feet, this girl was petite. The blond girl should also be a player.
Ning Zhe approached her and squatted down in front of the girl.
The girl's shoulders trembled when she heard the footsteps, and then quickly returned to silence. She squatted in the corner with her hands and knees, motionless, not making any sound, and not trying to raise her head to look at him.
"Well..." Ning Zhe picked up the oil lamp at her feet, took off the lampshade and took a look. The cotton rope wick soaked in corpse oil was pure white, with no traces of burnt blackness.
That is, the lamp has never been lit.
This girl has most likely been squatting at the 'birth point' since she arrived here without moving her buttocks. She did not light the corpse oil lamp for lighting or try to explore the place to find a way out. She just kept squatting in the corner. He remained motionless, with a few pieces of clothing covering his body serving as a backdrop, quietly waiting for the end of this game.
What a familiar operation...
Ning Zhe thought for a while, put the corpse oil lamp back, and said softly in Chinese: "Is the hazelnut chocolate delicious?"
The girl's head buried in her arms suddenly raised, her lightly freckled face full of a ghostly expression.
"It's really you." Ning Zhe was happy: "I didn't expect to see you here again."
The blond girl looked at him suspiciously and said nothing.
Ning Zhe continued nonchalantly: "Hazelnuts and Heiqiao look quite similar even after peeling off the packaging. Did you feel any surprise when you ate them?"
"There is one Little surprise." The girl nodded, and the suspicion in her eyes disappeared: "Are you Ning Zhe? I will be here...am I not dreaming?"
"What a coincidence, I am also dreaming." Ning Zhe squatted in front of Bai Zhi and said, "For some reason, I have started to do this too. It’s such a weird nightmare, but I didn’t expect that we both had the same dream.”
What is this, sharing the same dream and sleeping in the same bed?
"Huh? You too?" Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her pursed lips turned up slightly, then she quickly reacted and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, that, I don’t mean to gloat. It’s just that I used to have nightmares alone, but now I have someone with me, so I feel a little bit happy.”
“Really, just a little bit.” After thinking about it, she added cautiously.
After saying that, Bai Zhi stood up and took a set of clean clothes from the table, spread them beside the corner where she was squatting before, smoothed them with her hands, and then said: "Ning Zhe, sit here. , let’s hide together.”
“The rule here is that you can’t be found by ghosts. It’s a bit like hide and seek, so we just need to hide in the corner and wait until this time. The dream is over..."
Ning Zhe and Bai Zhi sat down against the wall side by side and asked, "Don't be found by ghosts. Is this the only rule here?"
The precautions Bai Zhi felt were the same as when he first entered the dream. The feeling is the same, but Taiyi's ability to copy is not the original version after all. He feels that Bai Zhi's own feeling may be more accurate.
"Hmm..." Bai Zhi thought for a while, took a few seconds to organize her words, and listed the things she knew to pay attention to:
1. Don't be 'it' 'Find
2. Do not touch the dead
3. Don’t go near places that don’t exist 4. Don’t eat food that doesn’t exist
5. Don’t explore knowledge that doesn’t belong to this world
“That’s about it.” Bai Zhi counted on her fingers. Generally speaking, the things she felt she couldn't do could be summarized into these five precautions. Nothing could be more clear.
Ning Zhe nodded. As expected, his own information was more detailed.
The precautions listed by Bai Zhi seem to be many, but in fact there is only one core - in this castle, there are some people, things, things, and even specific places that should not exist, which can be understood as a parallel that does not exist. world.
Once people 'here' come into contact with things 'over there', such as eating over there food, reading over there books, or being noticed by people over there, it will happen. Something terrible.
What makes these two parallel worlds briefly intersect is the light of the corpse oil lamp.
"It may be a little too late for you to remind me now." Ning Zhe smiled and said: "Not only did I take some things that shouldn't exist, I also read a book that doesn't exist. Now I I've been targeted by 'it', and I probably won't give up until this castle kills me."
That hand has been grabbing his foot for a long time.
"Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way." Bai Zhi looked at him seriously: "We are fine now, aren't we? The nightmare will end, and you will definitely be fine."
Said, Bai Zhi pulled off the clothes covering her body and covered Ning Zhe. According to her experience, as long as she hides herself quietly and doesn't move, it won't be able to find her.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still don't need it." Ning Zhe stood up and put the clothes on Bai Zhi's shoulders again: "I am more accustomed to taking the initiative to solve problems, rather than passively waiting for them to solve themselves. Let's leave it alone."
Bai Zhi sat on the ground and watched Ning Zhe get up and lift the corpse oil lamp without saying a word, with a complicated expression.
"By the way, have you met any other 'players' besides me?" Ning Zhe asked again.
"Huh? Yes." Bai Zhi nodded, followed his example, stood up with a corpse oil lamp, and pointed to the end of the long laundry room, where there was a stone arch hole without a door panel.
This laundry room is a semi-open pavilion. When you walk out of the pavilion, you can directly see the rose gardens surrounding the lecture room and ablution hall. On the other side is a path leading deeper into the castle. Stone paths.
"About an hour ago? When I was squatting here, I heard a footsteps and walked into the laundry room from the direction of the flower garden."
Bai Zhi thought about it and said: "But That person was not as attentive as you, and did not notice me hiding in the pile of clothes in the corner. He hurriedly walked through the laundry room to the bell tower. I quietly took a look. The figure in front of me is a tall, thin boy with blond hair, running in a hurry and talking to himself, but I didn't hear what he said clearly. "
Bai Zhi's English. Her level is above average among freshmen at Yundu University, but her grades are grades and her spoken English is spoken English. She really can't understand the highly colloquial English mumblings of foreigners.
"The bell tower..." Ning Zhe looked at the stone path in the laundry room: "Thank you for telling me this. It seems I have to hurry up and catch up."
"I'll go with you." Bai Zhiti He followed up with an oil lamp and said softly: "Although it is dangerous to go deep into the castle, I can feel that the more things I come into contact with here, the more things I can know. I...should be able to help you."
"Thank you. "Ning Zhe didn't say much.
