Chapter 542 When Fear Becomes Reality

My pupils shrank suddenly, and I took a step back. If I had opened the door just now, the boy hiding behind would have jumped in directly, instead of being stuck in the crack of the door like a mummy like now.

Chen Jiuge gestured to me not to provoke it, and followed him around from the other direction.

"This thing is so scary." Truman kept walking at the back, his hands stuffed in his white coat, his eyes wandering. When he passed the security door, he suddenly accelerated his speed, as if he was afraid of something.

This small detail caught my eye, and I murmured to myself: "Is the black figure so scary? Judging from the size, he is just a child, what threat can it have?"

"Let's go." Both Chen Jiuge and Trumen seemed to be very afraid of these burned mummies. Their first reaction was surprisingly the same, both of them stayed away.

I didn’t want to cause trouble, so I followed closely and walked deeper. Chen Jiuge and Ye Bing walked in front, Chumen followed at the end, and I walked in the middle. It is said that this formation is the most suitable for me and I can control the overall situation. , but as I walked I slowly discovered something was wrong.

Chen Jiuge and Ye Bing in front seemed to be accelerating and escaped my sight several times, but I could often see them again after passing through a door, so I was just confused and did not fall out with him because of this trivial matter. After all, I have something to ask for now, and besides, I have discernment, so it will be difficult for him to get rid of me.

Truman, who was walking at the end of the team, also behaved strangely. Unlike Chen Jiuge, he walked slower and slower, looking left and right from time to time, as if he was avoiding something.

I felt really awkward, so I turned around and asked, "Old Chu, have you discovered anything?"

"Nothing." Truman's answer was very natural. He was still urging me to walk faster and not to lose Chen Jiuge. However, his speed did not change. He followed the end of the team in no hurry. I was even afraid that he would fall behind. Here, Lost in a ghost place.

After walking for a few minutes, the terrain became more complicated. Rooms were put together, and there were more and more forks in the road. Different doors lead to different places. Often a wrong choice will lead to serious consequences. .

"Chen Jiuge and Ye Bing's speed increase can be understood as fear of accidents. Truman's speed remains unchanged and he has an obvious resistance to this place. It's strange. These people are very strange." I also speeded up and talked with Chen Jiuge and Ye Bing. He maintained a distance of four or five meters, but the distance between him and Truman was getting farther and farther.

"ah!"

I lowered my head and meditated, thinking about an escape plan, when Truman's screams suddenly came from behind me.

The pitch was high, as if walking in the wild and suddenly being bitten by a poisonous snake.

"What's going on?" I turned around and saw that Truman had disappeared, and only his echo was left in my ears.

"Under attack?"

The distance between me and him was at most one room, so I turned around and ran over without much hesitation. But when I entered the room I just passed by, I realized that Truman was gone!

No trace was left, not even a footprint on the ground.

"Where is the person? It's impossible for him to disappear for no reason?" I stood there for less than a second, and an extremely terrifying thought suddenly came to my mind. Almost in an instant, I immediately turned around and ran towards the person I just walked out of. room, while shouting Ye Bing's name, he chased after him.

There was no response, and my heart gradually sank. In just two or three seconds, I was actually separated from Chen Jiuge and Ye Bing.

"No, this was Chen Jiuge's plan from the beginning! He was not planning to take me away in the first place!" Returning to the room where I turned around to find Truman just now, I walked around the corner and saw three half-open rooms in front of me. Doors and a burned-out window, the four passages lead to four different rooms.

"Where will Chen Jiuge go?" I used my judgment to observe, but I couldn't find any useful information.

"I was careless." I recalled everything that happened after I met Chen Jiuge. Now I can confirm that his real live broadcast mission was related to the lightless neighborhood. When we left, he personally went to check out the last room on the fifth underground floor. , after ensuring that the lock cylinder was intact, he felt relaxed and his tone changed slightly.

He seemed certain that no one could open the door but him, and that as long as the things were inside, they would be safe.

Things are safe if they are locked in the house, but not necessarily if they are taken outside.

People's hearts are greedy. He was probably afraid that I would take action against him, so he ran out of the Despair Street to lure me over, hoping to trap me here.

He has also said before that this place can turn the despair deep in his heart into reality. For those who are more determined, this place is actually more terrifying.

"I really learned a lesson. In order to lure me here, I didn't hesitate to use the escape route prepared for myself as bait." Before I came, I repeatedly analyzed Chen Jiuge's words. There is a passage to escape from the deep dream in the desperate neighborhood. This should be true. That deep dream The dream map was also real. Everything he used was real and all he told was the truth. He used these real things to weave a lie full of murderous intent, which finally got me involved.

"But why would Truman deliberately cooperate with Chen Jiuge at this time? Is this a coincidence? Or has he and Chen Jiuge had a deal before?" Regarding Truman, I very much doubt that he has been replaced by Nightmare. There are too many doubts about what he says and what he does. His tone was a little awkward, and the reason why he went directly to the third floor of the blue house was very far-fetched. Also, for a hypnosis master, it is impossible to say that blue represents the sky and the sea in dreams. Blue symbolizes melancholy. There are blue lines on hospital gowns and prison uniforms. At the same time, blue is also the color of mental patients. My favorite color, bar none!

Later, my testing also proved some things from the side. For example, Truman was obviously left-handed, but when I handed him a piece of wall covering before entering the Despair Street, he picked it up with his right hand. These inadvertent habits revealed I became suspicious of him.

But it’s just a suspicion. I won’t expose him to his face. Firstly, I’m afraid of alerting him and causing unnecessary trouble. Secondly, because I’m ready to complete the third optional task assigned by the underworld show - kill a head. nightmare!

"When was the replacement completed?" This is what I least understand. "Was it at the blue house, or was it not Truman who entered the deep dream with me from the beginning, but Ye Bing in the dream? That nightmare?”

"If it was really Ye Bing's nightmare, then it would be a bit embarrassing for me to drag a 'ghost' all the way to the deep dreamland." With a wry smile, I cheered up and scanned the doors in front of me.

There are two choices before me now. The first is to go back the same way and squat in the street without lights. If Chen Jiuge wants to get the things in the last house, he will definitely go back; the second is to venture forward and enter this ashes. In the deepest part of the ruins, look for Chen Jiuge and Ye Bing.

"This place is too weird, so it's better to be safe." I prepared to return the same way, looking at the cracks all over the ground, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's one step short, but it's okay. I have the Dream Wing Gu, which means I'm ready." In an invincible position, as long as I return along the original path, the initiative is still in my hands."

I had reacted within a second just now, but they still seized the opportunity. Nightmare was difficult to deal with, and Chen Jiuge was even more terrifying.

Returning the way I came, I walked for a few minutes and suddenly realized something was wrong. The path had actually changed! Completely different from what I remembered!

"Damn it! What are you afraid of..." I just said this casually, and a chill suddenly surged down my spine: "What are you afraid of? It's broken!"

I thought of the records in Chen Jiuge's yellow book. The streets of despair can turn the deepest fears in people's hearts into reality.

Standing in the middle of the room, smelling the strong stench in the air, I glanced left and right, instinctively starting to be on guard.

But just when I started to be alert, a strange sound came from the security door behind me, as if a child was deliberately scratching the door with his fingernails.

It's harsh, weird, and makes people get goosebumps as soon as they hear it.

"What could it be?" Having learned from the past, I no longer dared to think wildly. I held my show phone high and walked step by step towards the blackened security door.
