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

Lin Huai woke up from the broken wall, and there was still a sweet smell in his mouth. The moment he opened his eyes, he coughed hard—and coughed out the foreign object in his mouth.

A navy blue key.

"You have obtained the key of the Lazy Witch," the system's cold voice sounded in his mind, "The shackles of the Lazy Witch have been lifted, please leave the Sleeping City before dark."

He sat up from the ice-cold stone brick, and behind him was the twilight of the sky and a piece of broken walls--a broken wall completely different from the gorgeous city-state he had seen in his dreams. On the ruins, there are many dark thorns, they have extremely sharp tips, and they look like dense spinning cones.

Lin Huai looked at the key in his hand and hooked the corner of his mouth.

He was right.

The sound of something being slowly dragged on the ground came from behind the broken wall in the distance. Lin Huai didn't look back, picked up the key, and stood up slowly.

"Dreamland, Sleeping Beauty, and True Love's Kiss...a very interesting copy." He turned his back to the voices and said.

"In the story of Sleeping Beauty, Sleeping Beauty fell into an eternal slumber because of her finger touching the spinning cone, until the prince overcame the thorns and woke her up with the kiss of true love - well, to understand this copy, first of all, You need to know enough about the story that forms the core of this copy. Every puzzle set by the witch related to the Seven Deadly Sins is closely linked to the story in the core."

"Just as in the 'Gluttony' dungeon, what will eventually kill me is my own stomach, in the 'lazy' dungeon, it is my dream that kills me. From the moment I entered the city of dreams, I have I sank into my dream, and from that moment on, Chu Tianshu, who was walking by my side, changed into a 'person' and became something in the dream, and everything I saw and heard was false. Yes. The two Chu Tianshu kept deceiving me, tempting me to take the spinning cone - it is also the curse in fairy tales and the killing move in dungeons; the little girl in the white dress is deceiving , keeps telling me that everything is a lie - despite this, she is still the only hint in this dungeon. Since all the external things are false, what is the only credible thing?" Lin Huai said slowly "—it's me."

"I am the only way to survive in this dungeon and in this dream. This is also the first reminder in the dream-be careful of everyone in the dream, and everyone in the dream is not worth believing."

"The second ultimate move in the dream is those houses. If I guess correctly, the shadows in the houses are the fears imagined in the player's heart. Generally speaking, when ordinary players enter such a When they were in a city-state, they would constantly guess what was in the house—the greatest fear of mankind comes from the unknown, and the unknown creates even greater fears.”

"So, as I stood in front of the house, thinking about what was in it, the otherwise silent interior of the house began to move - the power of the things inside took shape as I imagined it. The more I feared something, the more What will happen, I guess, if it weren't for the little girl who appeared at that moment, the details of the monster would have been more perfected as I continued to speculate about the monster in the room. Eventually the monster I imagined would be Will break through the door and kill me in the way I imagined - only I know what is the deadliest way in battle."

"What finally made me realize this was the lighting up of the whole city at the end - as the night fell, the ability of the dream state reached its peak, and at that moment I realized that the person who should be feared in this copy is myself, It is I who created the whole dream, and it is I who observe myself all the time, and will eventually kill myself with my own fantasies. Therefore..." Lin Huai showed a happy smile, "When I saw the windows of the whole city, All of my own appeared... when I was lying on the window glass and peeping at my own figure, I knew that I was right."

——Therefore, when Lin Huai saw his own shadow in the whole city, Lin Huai's trembling was not only from trembling!

——It was the shock and excitement that confirmed his thoughts.

"In this dream, everything except myself is meaningless and blind. I am fear, I am death, and I am life. I am imagining, and I am imagining itself."

"So, now that you know that the ultimate life door comes from you, and you want to figure out what you should do in the end, it's not that hard to understand." Lin Huai continued, "In the original In the story, it is the kiss of true love from the prince that wakes the princess, but unfortunately..."

"My prince, in the dream, was fake." Lin Huai smiled, "This is the first hint, tsk... Fortunately, I cut it down in advance, if it is still alive, I might Choose to kiss him at the end of the dream instead of kissing the key."

"Since the prince doesn't exist, the only thing left as a way of life is the concept of 'true love's kiss'. And kisses, that is, lips, are the life door in this game. A person may not really love others, but The only one who can be sure of true love must be me. So after getting the key, the first thing I do is kiss it - with my own lips. In the dream state, except for myself, other existences are meaningless."

"If you directly touch the key in that dream with your fingers, you might die too—in that dream, all the keys will turn into spinning cones the moment they are touched, right? Therefore, it is possible to remove the curse of the dream. , only his own lips."

"Am I right? The lazy witch?"

In the setting sun, Little Red Riding Hood in a burgundy cloak turned around. With a pleasant smile on her lips, she seemed to be ready to face the Lazy Witch.

Then……

Lin Huai:  …

He lowered his head slowly, and saw the hand of a puppet that seemed to have just crawled out of the rubble with difficulty.

Lin Huai: ? ?

Wait, wait, I finally finished pretending, shouldn't you, as the ultimate boss, show up with a smile and hold the red wine and give me a round of applause? It's rare that I moved my head and said such a handsome line... Lin Huai twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows jumped uncontrollably, you...

Holding the axe and the key, he walked step by step to the twitching hand of the puppet, and then...

He saw the hand twitch hard in the air twice and stop.

"Alas," came a lazy and slightly sighing voice, "this doll is still not the body, forget it."

Lin Huai raised her head, and a tall and tall beauty in hunting suit came from the setting sun. Twilight gave her ponytail a soft golden finish, and the two curls that dangled around her ears were playful and cold.

Lin Huai: ? ?

He looked at the long-legged Chu Tianshu, then looked at this fragment of the ruins, and then remembered the beautiful city-state when he had just entered the city of dreams...

Lin Huai: What did you do when I fell asleep?

"Yo," After seeing Little Red Riding Hood behind the ruins, the beauty in hunting suit whistled and waved at him, "Are you awake? Have you got the key?"

Lin Huai:  …

Chu Tianshu: "You fell asleep as soon as you entered the city. I had no choice but to find the witch first. There are too many houses here, and it's a little troublesome to find one by one, so..."

...so you bombed the whole city?

Lin Huai shook the key in his hand and looked at him blankly: "Why didn't you fall asleep?"

Chu Tianshu said: "It may be because programmers are better at staying up late."

... Hearing this reply, Lin Huai, who had been holding the axe quietly, relaxed his fingers slightly.

The reply flavor of this sand sculpture is undoubtedly his boyfriend.

Chu Tianshu came over, looked at the puppet girl drawn out from the ground, and knelt on one knee to observe: "Unlike the big mosquito that gluttonously eats, this lazy witch seems to be playing with a puppet, she doesn't know where to hide, revealing On the surface are all the dolls controlled by her. This is just hidden in the castle. I chased it for a long time, and it kept sticking out the wire to stab me..."

Lin Huai: "...And then what?"

Chu Tianshu: "There is no other way, so I have to give her a high-voltage electricity."

Lin Huai: "..."

Chu Tianshu: "It seems to be a little burnt out now. I guess the lazy witch who is pulling her on the other side is also burnt out."

With that said, he lowered his body and turned over the twitching and disabled puppet with a wooden stick. After a long time, he said, "I feel that the quality is okay, so I picked it up in the package first, and if I take it back, I might be able to sell it for money."

Lin Huai:  …

Okay, the taste of poverty. He was even more certain than before that this person was his boyfriend.

Chu Tianshu waved his hand and put the doll into his bag. Lin Huai looked up at him, and after a while, he felt a little uncomfortable.

This is what Chu Tianshu saw when he recovered the last spherical joint—Little Red Riding Hood, who was standing beside him, suddenly ran away. Little Red Riding Hood walked to the other side of the ruins. She seemed to observe the height of the ruins, and then she lightly climbed... jumped up.

Chu Tianshu: ?

He watched Lin Huai walk towards him on the ruins, and finally achieved a higher location than him. Then, Lin Huai looked down at him.

Chu Tianshu:  …

"Let's go, this witch scourge... After the solution is over, there are no props or buildings left in the city." Chu Tianshu scratched his head, and he shook his ponytail unaccustomedly, "Let's go to the next one. City? I just found the envy witch's ticket."

Lin Huai: "You cost me an opportunity to pretend."
