Why is the NPC Frightened By Me Again [Infinite Stream]

"Russing rustling... rustling..."

Lin Huai turned around.

Through the pitch-black glass and door, Lin Huai could not see the contents of the house, and could only hear a slight and strange noise, as if something was chewing food inside, and like...

A scene appeared in Lin Huai's mind.

Something, lying on the ground, dragging its long limbs... rubbing the ground forward.

From the depths of darkness... all the way to the opposite side of Lin Huai, which is only separated by a layer of wooden doors.

"It" was attached to the door panel. While Lin Huai stared at "it", "it" also "looked" at Lin Huai from the inside!

This "sleeping city-state" is definitely not empty!

"Day is the time for dreams to fall asleep, and night is the time for people to fall asleep."

A word flashed across Lin Huai's mind.

When a person wakes up, the dream will fall asleep. When a person is asleep, the dream will wake up...

Lin Huai suddenly looked up at the sky!

The last twilight will be taken away by the night. When the night puts away all the light... those who are locked in the "house" will all wake up!

As he pondered, there was a faint noise from the surrounding rooms that had been as silent as death. In the countless opaque windows, the moving ghosts gradually wake up...

- They have been watching him secretly!

"Da da!"

The crisp footsteps flashed in the depths of the street. Lin Huai turned around and saw the corner of the pure white skirt fluttering in the alley, like a white butterfly that suddenly appeared and disappeared in a flash.

That's the skirt of the girl with the teddy bear!

Lin Huai no longer hesitated, the last Twilight fell behind him. He buckled the hat of the burgundy cloak with one hand, and when he turned his right wrist, the cold light on the axe blade suddenly appeared at this moment.

at the same time--

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

There was a loud crash from the originally quiet wooden door behind him!

The wooden door creaked and swayed, and sawdust rustled from the metal connection between the door panel and the door frame. The brass doorknob shook violently, as if it would be knocked open from the inside at any time—

Just before the wooden door was knocked open, the figure of wine red was shot out of the alley like an arrow from the string!

His target was the little girl who flashed by!

Behind him came the sound of the monster roaring and breaking through the door—it didn't sound like it was smashed open with flesh and blood, but it seemed like a large swath of silt smashed through the door, spewed out from the inside, and finally collapsed on the ground and spread. open.

Lin Huai didn't look back, he was not interested in the images of those monsters - he just wanted to catch the little girl who ran very fast, other than that, everything was meaningless.

However, when turning the corner, he inevitably glanced across the street where he had run, and at that moment, he was stunned.

The street behind him was clean, all doors and windows closed. There was no wooden door that had been knocked open, no black mud that broke through and wriggled on the ground, there was nothing, as if all he had heard and seen before were hallucinations.

Huge doubts flooded his mind like a dark cloud. Lin Huai didn't stop, because the white skirt in front of him had slipped into another alley.

He didn't have time to think about that anymore.

The originally dark purple sky finally turned a sauce color, and the little girl's figure was like a white butterfly, always leading Lin Huai's direction. Finally, her figure turned into an alley.

"Don't run!" The corner of the little girl's clothes was so close that Lin Huai couldn't reach her arm, so he threw the axe at her, "Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you!"

Combined with the axe flying towards the little girl, his words were very convincing.

Lin Huai clearly heard the sound of the axe hitting something, but it didn't seem like it touched the body, but like a hard object pierced through an empty white cloth. With the sound of the axe falling, the alley where the little girl turned into also appeared in front of him.

Lin Huai was stunned.

That's a... dead end.

There was no little girl in the dead end, only the axe he threw, fell to the ground, and was still shaking. In addition, there was a teddy bear, lying face down on the ground, covered with gray all over, but its abdomen was torn open, and the cotton and the contents rolled out.

...seems to be the result of his axe.

In the darkest sky, Lin Huai walked towards the teddy bear lying on the ground.

A dark blue key was lying quietly among the tattered cotton. The dark buttons were nailed to the position of the little bear's eyes, and he looked at the sky.

However, what's even weirder than the buttons is...

The teddy bear's mouth was actually sewn up with needles and threads!

It seemed to be some kind of special cotton thread that sewed the little bear's mouth. The cotton thread is very thick and the stitches are rough, but it is densely sewn. At first glance, the little bear's mouth seems to have a blood-stained spider web.

Lin Huai remembered that the last time he saw this teddy bear, its mouth had not been sewn with such cotton threads!

The last ray of light was finally swallowed by the night. The girl in the burgundy cloak looked at the bear on the ground with a gloomy expression.

Lying in the battered cotton wool was indeed a dark blue key. But……

Who can guarantee that this "key" is the real key and not the disguise of another pitch-black spinning cone?

"Da da."

The crisp footsteps came from the end of the alley. Lin Huai raised her head, and the little girl in the white dress had her hands behind her back and was looking at him with her head tilted.

Her mouth was actually sewn with dense cotton threads!

Black blood seeped out from the eye of each needle, dyed the cotton thread red, but the little girl looked at him with a smile as if she could not feel the pain at all.

Then, she stretched out her left hand, went sideways from left to right, and made a "close" gesture.

"What are you..."

Lin Huai stood up from the ground, and he lifted the axe again. The axe blade glowed coldly in his hand, but the little girl showed no sign of fear.

She moved her mouth and pulled the cotton thread, revealing a new mouth shape.

It's three words that keep repeating.

The girl in the red cloak looked at her, and she subconsciously followed her lips and made the same movement.

"sky--"

"black--"

"It's-"

"sky--"

"black--"

"It's-"

After following the little girl's mouth and fully comprehending those three words, Lin Huai raised her head in horror!

The originally dark sauce-colored sky finally caught the last ray of light. The moment he saw the little girl's mouth, the sky turned pure black!

it's dark!

At the same time, the lights in the glass of the houses on both sides of the road turned on at the same time!

The city that was originally dark and twilight suddenly became brightly lit. Every house lights up; every window lights up!

If someone was standing on the hillside that Lin Huai and Chu Tianshu saw when they first saw the city of dreams, they might be shocked by the magnificent scene that suddenly appeared in front of them—they were sleeping on the The city-state in the dark, at the moment when all the twilight was absorbed into the dark night, suddenly lit up and turned into a sea of ​​lights like a fairy tale fairyland!

The city-state that was originally dead seems to be alive at this moment, and even the dark and majestic castle is lit up with lights.

However, Lin Huai, who was in this sea of ​​lights, lowered his head.

Beside him, in the alleys, in all the lit windows, in all the glass that is moving sparks in the eyes of those who watch from above...

All stood one or more dark shadows!

"They" stood quietly behind the window, "watching" Lin Huai on the street. A street, behind all the windows... Hundreds and thousands of figures stood there quietly, facing the street, quietly looking at Lin Huai in the street!

"They" didn't know when they started walking towards the window and appeared here, and even Lin Huai never noticed their existence.

Or, from the moment Lin Huai entered the city, they had already stood in front of the dark window... In those dark rooms where Lin Huai could not see the interior in the daytime, "they" always stood by the window Inside, quietly watching the visitor.

——What are these dark shadows?

A long-lost coolness rushed up along Lin Huai's spine.

This coolness does not come from the shadows' gaze, but from their form.

Even though they were separated by glass, even though they were just blurry shadows, they were just a glance, just an outline... Lin Huai had already recognized their identities!

—No one is more familiar with these shadows than he is.

These people standing behind the window, quietly watching him...

It's all his own shadow!

"you……"

Lin Huai opened his mouth, he was about to say something, but a tingling suddenly came from the corner of his mouth!

"This is……"

He stretched out a finger and wiped it on his lips, and a little blood red appeared on his pale fingers.

The corner of his mouth... is bleeding?

Lin Huai was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, there was a slight tingling in the corner of his mouth!

Then, another point!

It's almost like... being pricked by an invisible needle!

As the pain occurred, the corners of Lin Huai's mouth that could open and close flexibly also became dull, as if the keyhole was rusted. Lin Huai raised his head, and the little girl in the white dress who was standing opposite him was still looking at him, with a strange smile on her lips sewn together by needles and threads.

Seeing Lin Huai, she raised a finger and made a "shush" gesture innocently.

Is it...

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

The thick sound of the bell echoed in the silent city-state, and the wooden door that was originally closed was slowly opened at this moment.

The shadow on the window glass moved at this moment!

As the bell rang, they gradually moved away from the window and entered the room.

They are coming out of the room!

Lin Huai gritted his teeth, he stepped forward and grabbed the navy blue key through the cotton!

"You have obtained the key of the 'Lazy Witch'," as he clenched his fingers, the system's icy prompt sounded in his mind, "Please find the 'door' in the 'City of Dreams', Insert the key into the door and get out of the dream before all the nightmares attack!"

Hundreds of blue and white faces appeared in the streets of the Sleeping City. They have the same blue and white faces, with the same arc of weird smiles on their faces. Their lips were tightly sewn with needles and threads, and the corners of their mouths were pulled by the needles and threads, revealing the same angle of laughter.

Lin Huai no longer hesitated.

He lowered his head and bit the navy blue key.

At the same time, the world was spinning.

At that moment, Lin Huai knew.

- He won the bet.
