Nightmare Assault

Chapter 28: Tricks

The place was very clean and neat. The bed was made, and the table was wiped clean. An unknown flower sat on the only windowsill. The flower was light purple in colour and radiated a melancholic feeling.

Fatty sighed with emotions, Doctor, are we not like lotuses in this chaotic world? We dont know where we can take root because we might die in the next second.

Perhaps. Jiang Cheng sighed, But at least youll be by my side.

Fatty was touched, and his eyes watered, Doctor, I didnt expect wed become so close after only a few days together. Arent you touched that Im here with you during the last moments of our lives?

Jiang Cheng looked at Fattys sincere eyes and said, Fatty, think about it. If you can survive, do you think the danger will kill me? Theres a high chance Ill die after you. Jiang Cheng continued, Therefore, dont you worry. If that day comes, Ill do my best to bring your ashes back to my office and pour you into my flower pots. With your size, the calcium in your body will be higher than normal.

Fatty, We should search the room.

Jiang Cheng inspected every corner of the room carefully. Other than a very small cupboard that he couldnt open, the place looked normal. After ensuring that it was safe, Fatty collapsed on the bed. At the same time, his stomach grumbled, Doctor, Im so hungry.

However, it was already dark. Moving in the dark without any clues was stupid and dangerous. Furthermore, the woman who led them there warned them about moving in the dark.

Jiang Cheng pulled out a big chocolate from his pocket. It had a red wrapping. Fatty remembered it from his childhood.

Where did you get that? Fatty jumped off the bed instantly, his eyes glowing.

I got it while I was on the way. Jiang Cheng snapped off a piece and tossed it over. Fatty snatched it.

Fatty took a small bite and then lifted his head to ask, On the way to the cafe? Fatty saw a lot of mini-markets around the cafe. However, he couldnt figure out how Jiang Cheng bought the chocolate without any money. After they entered the nightmare realm, most of their belongings would disappear, including money.

Jiang Cheng bit into the chocolate and looked out the dark window. He said, I didnt buy it.

You didnt buy it?

Yes.

Then, how did you get it? Fattys eyes widened like he realised something bad, Did you steal it?

Nonsense! Jiang Cheng glared at Fatty, It was the female boss of the minimarket who shoved it to me. I wanted to reject her, but she got mad at me.

Fatty looked at Jiang Cheng with confusion, Doctor, can you tell me where you found this boss? I want to meet her too.

Jiang Cheng put down the chocolate and was about to get it with Fatty when Fatty gave up and sighed, Doctor, you distracted me again. We are in the nightmare realm. We might die tomorrow.

Dont be so pessimistic. Jiang Cheng patted his shoulder, You might not even survive tonight.

Fatty,

Room 407.

The girl with the pyjamas curled on the bed and hid her shivering body under the blanket.

Big sister, The girl looked at the woman in the qipao and asked in a trembling tone, Dont you think its cold? Even though Im under the blanket, Im still so cold.

Like Jiang Cheng, the first thing the woman in the qipao did after entering the room was to inspect the room carefully. Other than a broken comb found in the table drawer, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Even the trash can was very clean.

If you want to talk to me to normalise the situation, Id advise you to save your breath. The woman in the qipao said in a cool tone, Its pointless and will distract us and lower our chance of survival. The girl cowered from the womans presence. She stopped talking, but her stomach still growled.

Turn around and close the curtain, The woman ordered.

The girls bed was next to the window. A blue curtain hung on the window. It was not big, but it was enough to cover up the whole window. The girl carefully reached her hand out and rapidly pulled the curtain close.

Be more careful, The woman in the qipao warned, Bad things might happen if the curtain falls.

The girl was scared, What bad things?

The woman looked at her before turning her face away. She ignored her, walked to her bed and then crawled into bed.

Doctor, Fatty asked as he watched Jiang Cheng move the mattress to the floor, Why are you sleeping on the ground when theres a bed? Then, Fatty seemed to realise something and pressed, Do you think the ghost will come out from under the bed too?

No. Jiang Cheng set up his bed. He patted it a few times until a hole appeared before lying down. Im merely used to this.

Fatty nodded. Even though he had not been to Jiang Chengs bedroom in the real world, he remembered Jiang Cheng telling him that he only had a mattress in his bedroom.

By the way, Fatty combed his hair. Doctor, why did you target the man in the suit? He paused before continuing, He hasnt been bad to us. I think what you did was meaningless, and you even made an enemy. To be honest, if you didnt do what you did, I dont think wed be assigned Room 404.

Jiang Cheng looked at the ceiling. Then, he said slowly, Because he was the one who played tricks first.

Fatty was shocked as he sat up and asked, Doctor, what do you mean?
