Welcome to the Nightmare Game

{cw: discussion of miscarriage}

Bong-bong-bong-

When the distant bell came, fear flooded Qi Leren like the tide, and he had already returned to the inner world before he was able to tell his two partners.

It was three o'clock in the morning.

Dr. Lus flashlight was still on, and Qi Leren looked at the piano that now lacked the dog collar and his flashlight.

Qi Leren took a deep breath, hesitated whether to tell Dr. Lu about it, and finally decided to say it. That way, Dr. Lu and Nan Lu would also be wary of any future bizarre actions in the outer world: I saw my flashlight on the piano just now. I remember that when I fell into the studio on the first floor from here, the flashlight was on, but just now I suddenly noticed that the flashlight had been turned off.

What? Huh? Youre lying! Dr. Lu even used three interjections. Are you sure? Did it run out of power?

Im pretty sure. I couldnt move after falling into the studio, and I had to lie on my back and look above me. At that time, the hound looked down at me at the mouth of the hole, and my flashlight lit it up. And before I came here, the flashlight was fully charged, its impossible for it to have lost power so soon, Qi Leren said with absolute certainty.

But dogs dont turn off flashlights, Nan Lu murmured.

Dogs dont, but people do, Qi Leren said.

Nan Lus eyes were sharp: You mean Xiao Hong and that bitch have been here?

Qi Leren was silent for a few seconds. This is a possibility, but they didnt have to turn off the flashlight. This useful thing would more likely have been taken away directly.

His voice sank in the bright moonlight of the world. In the brand-new piano room, all three people didnt speak again. The shock brought by the phantom just now was erased by the fear close at hand. The same kind of imagination lingered in their minds, and the figure created by their fear entered the piano room from the dark corridor, silently turning off the flashlight that had illuminated the darkness

No matter what it is, we can at least be sure that it is an intelligent creature. It knows what it is, how to turn it off, and maybe it hates light Qi Leren whispered.

Intelligent creatures thats troublesome. We broke into its territory. Maybe now even its watching us think about how to catch it, Dr. Lu said with horror.

Nan Lu shuddered: Stop it!

No matter, first find out where the switch is. Dr. Lu took a photo on the wall at the door with a flashlight, and soon found the switch. The chandelier in the piano room lit up, and the light returned immediately. Both Nanlu and Qi Leren were relieved.

This world is quite kind, Dr. Lu commended.

Nan Lu said coldly: Have you forgotten Miao Bo who died unsatisfied?

Although this world seemed calm and peaceful, there were hidden dangers everywhere, and the slightest carelessness could end in violent death.

Lets go, lets go to Nina first and then come back to search the room. I have a lot of things to ask her. I hope we wont meet the walking armor this time. Qi Leren said. This time, he wasnt too afraid. The S/L skills one hour cooling time had passed. If he met danger again, it wouldnt be a big deal. He just didnt know how to explain this to Nan Lu. He didnt know how an NPC would react to their special features

The three people walked to the first floor, with bright lights along the way, but in the bright lights, the surroundings were so quiet that people couldnt help observing everything around them, but they were afraid of finding any ominous omen amidst the ordinary. This contradictory psychology made everyone nervous.

You wait for me here, Ill go and have a look first. Reaching the first floor corridor entrance, Qi Leren said this to the two people, and then walked into the corridor.

The lights were on, illuminating the sculptures and paintings on both sides of the corridor. The potted plants seem to have been carefully taken care of, green and verdant. At the end of the corridor was a semi-open room similar to the piano room on the second floor. Miao Bos body was still lying on the ground, but the armor they suspected of the crime had disappeared.

Qi Leren found the switch on the wall and turned on the light in this room. The door of the hidden small room was damaged after being hit by the armor, but it seemed to be closed. He didnt know if Nina was still there. He stepped forward to the door and whispered, Nina, are you there?

There was a soft reply from the door: I am Has it left?

Its already gone. I have a few things to ask you. Can I come in? Qi Leren said.

No! Dont come in! Dont open the door! If it comes back I Im very scared. Ninas voice suddenly raised in pitch, and there was a broken sound in her rapid voice.

But the doors lock should be broken, Qi Leren looked at the loose lock and said. Although this door could also be locked from the inside, the lock was broken when the armor tried to break the door, but the lock outside seemed to lock the door from the outside.

No, no! Dont open the door! Please, please! If the door is open, it will come in! Ninas anxious voice faintly devolved into tears, and she seemed to be terrified.

OK, wait, Ill call some friends. Qi Leren compromised and called Dr. Lu and Nan Lu later.

Once again setting foot in this room, Nan Lu still didnt dare to look at Miao Bos body, and her dead companion was lying here, which inevitably reminded her of her own safety. She resisted fear, stood far away from the body, and silently urged Qi Leren to hurry up with her eyes.

There are a few things I have to ask you: Lets start with the mistress, was she pregnant? Where are the children? Qi Leren asked straight away.

Behind the door, Nina was silent for a moment and seemed unwilling to talk about it. She asked, Why do you ask this?

Because its very important, please tell us, Qi Leren said forcefully.

Well The Missus was pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage. After that, her spirit was very bad. Probably from that time on, she gradually showed genetic madness In order to avoid stimulating her, the Master ordered us not to talk about it, but the Missuss illness was getting worse and worse. Sometimes she felt that her child was still alive. She made dolls and clothes for him (her), but when she was awake, she put these things away again. She is very pained. Ninas voice was filled with a kind of humble pity and unspeakable fear.

This really makes sense, Qi Leren thought.

Hey, how did she miscarry? Spontaneous miscarriage? Accidental abortion? Dr. Lu also stood by the door and asked.

She fell down the stairs and then had a miscarriage, Nina said.

At this moment, Nan Lu joined in. She asked sharply, Did she fall down by herself? Or did someone push her down? She miscarried, killed, and set the fire, is it just because she was crazy?

Dr. Lu and Qi Leren looked at Nan Lu. He wondered if the ladys experience reminded her of herself, making her very excited and even a little radical. Qi Leren vaguely felt that Nan Lu should also be a part of the plot, but until she did something harmful to them, he was still willing to help her This luck-based thinking was dangerous, and he and Dr. Lu knew it tacitly, but they did it anyway.

Behind the door, Nina was somewhat surprised and said, If it wasnt for her madness, how could she do such a thing? She used to be a very gentle and quiet person! Even if she is crazy, she is Its not her fault!

Nan Lu reluctantly bit her lip and didnt speak again.

I have another question. As you said before, the ladys illness was getting worse and worse, and she was locked up. So where was she locked up? Qi Leren asked.

The basement. She was locked in the basement, Nina replied.

Nan Lu said incredulously, You locked her in the basement?! My God How could you do this? Shes already in pain.

Nina mumbled something a few times and whispered weakly, Its what the Master wanted. Missuss madness was getting more and more serious and needed isolation, so

Dr. Lu snorted gently, with a little doubt, but did not speak.

Where can I go to open the basement? Do I need a key? Qi Leren asked again.

The basement is in the kitchen at the end of the corridor on the other side of the hall. There is a secret compartment on the ground in the corner. When you open it, you will see a lock. The key is in the Masters study. I think Maybe the Missus has become a resentful spirit, still wandering in the basement Please let her rest in peace. May God bless her not to suffer in the world. May she rest in the arms of the Lord and let me rest in peace Let us rest in peace.

The task was clear here. As long as you got the key to the basement and entered the basement to destroy the dead crazy lady, this task could be finished. This should be the simplest way to clear the requirements.

But.. There were still many things in his mind about this task, such as the sacrifice to the Devil.

Did he want to ask? If he asked, would it be self-defeating, triggering the hidden plot to raise the difficulty?

Thats the objective? Go find the basement key? Dr. Lu pulled Qi Lerens arm and asked.

About the sacrifice Qi Leren talked with Dr. Lu in a low voice.

Dr. Lu stared at him: Do you want to die?

Just a little curious, Qi Leren argued.

Young man, your mind is very dangerous, Dr. Lu said earnestly. Its safer to know less. If you ask why, youre going to die. Walk away and find the key.

Qi Leren, who was dragged by Dr. Lu, didnt struggle again. He left the room according to his meaning. Before he left, he cast a glance back. The hidden door was closed, and everything seemed normal.
