He remembered that when he was just a young child, in his vague and unclear memory, there was a perverted murderer in the town. That man had tortured and killed many children, but the police did not arrest him and send him to prison. , but allowed this man to do evil things until one day his parents drove out and when they came back at night, their parents told him that the murderer had gone to hell.
Although Yam was just an ignorant child at that time, he still remembered the incident. Later, the murderer never appeared in the town again. He only occasionally heard about this person from his parents. Whenever When I am naughty and disobedient, my parents will always say something to me in a threatening tone, that is...
"If you don't behave, Freddie will come after you!"
Freddy! ! !
It was as if a long-sealed memory box had been opened. When the word 'Freddy' appeared in his mind, Yam seemed to understand in an instant that even though the man had been severely burned beyond recognition, the other person's very distinctive The frivolous voice and the impressive red and white sweater still brought back memories of his childhood. As expected, the person standing in front of him now is 'him'. It is the man who was burned to death in the fire and sent to hell but now... The demon Freddy crawled out of hell again!
Freddy is back, that perverted lunatic addicted to murder is back, and now he's back in demon form, and as soon as he comes back, he comes looking for himself first!
"F-Freddy...you, you, you are Freddy..."
As the urine flowed more and more, Yam instinctively said the man's name, but what Yam didn't know was that just because he remembered and casually said the man's name that had been forgotten for a long time, the seemingly powerful man on the opposite side In fact, the weak burned man instantly gained unimaginable power. In other words, because he said the word 'Freddy', Freddy, who should not have been able to kill him, was now able to kill him easily. , the reason is that Freddy's power comes from memory. If someone forgets him, he will at most be just a nightmare that looks scary but can't kill. But if someone thinks of his past, then Freddy will instantly evolve into a real... An omnipotent murderous demon!
Yes, Freddy was using a trick, in fact the reason why he didn’t kill Yam just now was that he was deliberately killed by Yam in front of him. Resurrection from the dead and other behaviors are all performances. The purpose is to evoke the other party's dusty memory and try his best to make the other party think of himself. In the end, he succeeded. The moment when the first prey successfully remembered him, it represented destruction. Pandora's box was completely opened, and the only restraint binding Freddy disappeared.
"Haha! Congratulations on your guess, oh! My lovely little Yam, I didn't expect you to still remember me. Not only am I very happy, but I also want to thank you because you did me a big favor!" Yam said. Freddy smiled as he said his name, twisting his body and laughing wildly as if he had won a jackpot. He smiled extremely happily, and the reason that made him so happy was precisely power, a powerful force that surged like a tidal wave. Just keep pouring it into your body! So, as soon as he finished speaking, Freddy stretched out his claws and walked towards Yam, who was now completely stunned. At the same time, he said to him in an extremely grateful tone:
"In order to thank you for your friendly help, I will use the best torture in the world to torture you. No matter what, I will let you enjoy the most perfect death service! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!! "
……………
The unconscious state did not last long. As the mind regained clarity, everyone, including Zhao Ping, opened their eyes almost at the same time. Next, except for He Fei and Kong Ling, who were unconscious, no one needed to remind them at all. Get up immediately and observe the scene.
Through the transparent mask covering the team, what comes into view is a typical American small town. The specific area is not too big, but it is definitely not small either. There are flowers, trees, houses and houses all around, and everyone The current location is just on the edge of the town. As for the full name of the town? If nothing else, you can tell at a glance just from the sign erected at the intersection:
Springwood welcomes you.
After reading the English on the intersection sign, there is no doubt that this is the original birthplace of the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series of movies. Many plots in the movie revolve around Springwood Town. However, compared to Springwood Town, which is more official, Regardless of the name, whether it is viewers who have watched the original movie or residents living here, people are more accustomed to calling the town Elm Street, and Elm Street is another generation name for the town.
The spacious streets occasionally have pedestrians or vehicles passing by. Although this is the United States, it is modern. In addition, the town is not a remote town far away from the city. Because of this, people come and go in the town, and occasionally When outsiders appear, fortunately, the transparent mask has an invisibility function. Under the cover of the mask, pedestrians and vehicles passing nearby cannot see the executor unless the mask disappears. When will the mask disappear? According to the rules of the curse, the mask will last for a full 15 minutes.
15 minutes is not long or short. It is enough to do a lot of things. Even if the executor restricted by the mask cannot move freely for the time being, there is still no problem in discussing some issues. Just like now, the team has just confirmed that After appearing directly inside the town, Cheng Ying exhaled and looked at Zhao Ping. When her eyes shifted, she saw that Zhao Ping had just finished his observation, so Cheng Ying took the initiative to report the observation results: "Nothing has been found yet. Some special place, what about you?”
"I haven't found much here, at least on the surface it looks like an ordinary American town." Zhao Ping adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and made the same observation as Cheng Ying. After that, he followed the trend. Looking at the others, he saw Peng Huyi shaking his head instinctively. Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong next to him also shook their heads to express that they had found nothing. Chen Xiaoyao, on the other hand, put on a rough and nervous look. Seeing this, for some reason, Li Tianheng was unusually careless. He raised his hand and patted the Taoist priest on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Chen, you don't need to be nervous just yet. It's not the time to be nervous yet."
"Huh? What do you mean by that? And you...why are you and everyone so relaxed?"
Yes, this is what Chen Xiaoyao has just discovered, which is suspicious and even unbelievable. He did not expect that everyone who was still frightened before entered the mission would change drastically after entering the mission! The collective calmed down? Not only Zhao Ping and others were so calm, but even Chen Shuihong and Han Xuedian, who were scared to death at first, were so calm. Li Tianheng even comforted himself carelessly? And you said now is not the time to be nervous? Out of curiosity, Chen Xiaoyao scratched his head and asked. It was not until Chen Xiaoyao put on a suspicious look that Li Tianheng suddenly answered: "Ah, I almost forgot. No wonder, Brother Chen, you haven't watched "" "A Nightmare on Elm Street", so there are some things you don't know. Well, how should I put it? Although in the movie Freddy is indeed a murderous demon scarier than a ghost, in fact his terror is only in dreams, that is, It is said that you are only in danger when you are sleeping at night, but if you are awake, you are actually 100% safe."
"It's daytime now, and we are all in high spirits. How could danger happen under such circumstances? At least now we are absolutely safe."
"Yes, yes, what Brother Li said is right. Even though Freddy has great powers, he still can't attack humans in reality. To say the least, even if he dares to appear in reality, the reality Freddy in the movie only has the strength of an ordinary person. I really wish he would appear in reality. In this way, we can easily kill him. Not to mention top masters like Brother Chen, even if it is me, I... I dare to fight with him a few times!"
I understand, I understand completely. Li Tianheng’s detailed explanation and Chen Shuihong’s additional supplements completely solved the mystery in Chen Xiaoyao’s heart, and the answer is just as the two told it. Because “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is so classic, it is a classic for everyone. Everyone has seen it before. It is true that everyone was frightened when they first learned that this mission was a supernatural mission based on "A Nightmare on Elm Street", but after all, they understood the plot and knew Freddy's abilities and characteristics. What Chen Shuihong just said makes sense. As a demon that can only commit murders in dreams, Freddy rarely appears in reality. The reason is that he is not powerful in reality and is basically similar to ordinary people. A few Most of the people he faces in real-life murders are weak women. There is no problem in killing women with weak constitutions to die naturally. But if they face the executioners in reality, let’s not talk about Chen Xiaoyao, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu. Anyone can easily kill Freddy instantly. Even he, Chen Shuihong, dares to fight Freddy with a knife. Don't believe it, he, Chen Shuihong, is also a veteran who has experienced countless crises. Although in the eyes of other veterans, he is the same I'm a coward, but compared with ordinary people, Chen Shuihong is still very skilled!
so……
"Ah, so that's what happened. If that's really the case, then, what kind of thing is this poor guy still afraid of!?"
as expected! As soon as he learned the cause and effect, Chen Xiaoyao was no longer afraid in an instant. Not only did the initial nervousness disappear in an instant, but he also put his head up and roared like an invincible strong man, knowing that he was absolutely safe while he was awake. Total relaxation!
Of course, as the saying goes, nothing is absolute. Although in the eyes of Chen Xiaoyao and others, Freddy is not a threat for the time being, in the eyes of a few meticulous executors, it is still far from the time to truly relax. Zhao Ping This is true for Cheng Ying and the same for Tang Meng. Even Peng Hu, who is supposed to be more carefree than Chen Xiaoyao, puts on a cautious expression. The reason is that the bald man has experienced too much. If we compare the mission experience alone, not only Chen Xiaoyao Several people could not match it. Even Zhao Ping at the same time was slightly inferior to him. The more you experience, the more you understand. Thinking of this, Peng Hu still did not dare to neglect, so he did not participate in the celebration carnival of Chen Xiaoyao and others. ',until……
It wasn't until Zhao Ping confirmed that there was nothing unusual about the surrounding environment that the man with glasses took the lead and looked back behind him.
Then, a familiar scene happened:
"Ugh, I, why am I so dizzy... Huh? Where are we?"
"It's such a strange place. It seems like I've never been here before? Huh? You, who are you?"
"Ah! There are gangsters, help me, my life is miserable!"
Exactly as expected, as Zhao Ping took the lead and looked behind him, everyone discovered the newcomers. As far as they could see, they saw that there were not many newcomers this time. There were only three of them, two men and one woman. Among them Two men were wearing yellow uniforms with the words "rice dumplings for takeout" printed on them. One was about 40 years old, and the other was in his early 20s. Combined with the fact that the two men had the same yellow uniforms, it can be concluded that the two were colleagues. In the end, She was a young woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties, and the newcomers who had just woken up also staged a chaotic scene that seemed familiar to them. Because they entered the mission world for the first time, after waking up, the newcomers were at a loss and had no idea that this was where they were. Not to mention who the people in front of them were, so they all asked in confusion. Some of them shouted for help the moment they saw Peng Hu's ferocious face, clearly identifying the bald man as kidnapping them. Criminals, unfortunately, no matter what they say or who screams for help, they cannot actually change the absolute fact that they have fallen into hell. Since the facts are in front of them, what happens next can be expected...
"Fuck! Come again? Don't I look like a good person? Hey! Shut up, all of you, and that woman, stop calling her a 'gangster' Try it!?”
brush!
Faced with the newcomer's quarrel, Peng Hu wanted to remain silent, but when the woman pointed at him and shouted "criminal", the bald man who was most annoyed by others calling him a criminal and a gangster suddenly became angry. Draw out the machete and start threatening!
"Okay, okay, Brother Peng, don't be angry now, leave it to me." Fortunately, Tang Meng was considerate. Seeing that the bald man was instantly annoyed, the female doctor quickly comforted her. After finally getting Peng Hu to take back the machete, she decided to After regaining her composure, Tang Meng walked straight towards the newcomer.
"Guys, I know you have a lot of questions at the moment. I can give you a little explanation on this. But before that, I hope you will carefully recall it. As expected, I think you should be able to find a paragraph in your mind. Mission information..."
Different from Peng Hu, whose face is full of flesh and fierce looks, Tang Meng's looks are ridiculously good, and her good looks have indeed brought many benefits to Tang Meng, including the ability to make the newcomers feel a little more stable. Effect, next, according to Tang Meng’s reminder, the newcomers closed their eyes and tried to remember.
Putting aside how Tang Mengzheng explained the reality to the newcomers, at the same time, he glanced at He Fei on Cheng Ying's back, and then glanced at Kong Ling in Peng Hu's arms. For some reason, seeing that the two of them still showed no signs of waking up, Zhao Ping frowned slightly. Well, the overall reaction was quite depressed, as if he was about to solve an uncertain problem, and it was a little bumpy. Cheng Ying could see all the changes in the man's expression. (It seems that you are not sure about this mission... Actually, you are right. After all, it is a difficult level, and the ghost is a well-known dream demon. You can imagine the pressure you feel.)
No one knows what Zhao Ping is thinking at the moment, but Cheng Ying can basically understand Zhao Ping's thoughts. However, there is no way, the matter has come to this, there is no use saying anything now, and she can only do her best for the current plan. Yes, but...
"Hey, everyone, look!"
Just when Tang Meng was explaining the truth to the newcomers, Li Tianheng was the first to see a scene. In fact, in a sense, this scene is relatively common, but if it were placed in Chunmu Town, it would obviously attract people's attention. Sure enough, just now As soon as he saw it, Li Tianheng pointed forward to remind everyone. Everyone turned around following the sound and looked along the young man's finger. They saw two police cars driving in the distance, followed by a medical vehicle with obvious characteristics. At present, this was the suspicion of passers-by nearby. He was driving in a hurry with his eyes, and soon he passed the road and turned the corner.
"Eh? Did the police come out? Is the car driving so fast?" Seeing the police car speeding and disappearing into the street, Chen Xiaoyao scratched his head and marveled. It seemed like he was mumbling a guess, but in fact it was completely correct. After all, everyone knew that the police car was only in the street. They would only speed up when something happened, not to mention that there was a medical vehicle behind them, so it was natural and no doubt that everyone had smelled something unusual from the police car that had just passed by.
"If the prediction is good, there should be a case in the town." This was Zhao Ping's first judgment on the situation. After hearing this, everyone nodded, and Cheng Ying turned to Zhao Ping and asked: "Could it be..."
Cheng Ying didn't say anything else, but everyone, including Zhao Ping, knew exactly what Cheng Ying meant when he hesitated to speak, so they all had ominous premonitions. As for what the ominous premonition specifically meant? Cheng Ying didn't say anything, and Zhao Ping didn't say anything either. The man with glasses just glanced at the street entrance, then turned his gaze and looked behind him again.
When Zhao Ping turned around for the second time, Tang Meng's explanation work was also over. As expected, after learning the cause and effect, the newcomers were confused. Whether it was the two deliverymen or the young woman, the three of them were trembling. , in addition to definitely believing what Tang Meng said, the unacceptable truth also frightened them. Their legs were weak. After all, the mission information in their minds was too clear. The strange phenomenon that they can't forget even if they want to forget it always reminds them of the truth and reality! What is reality? The reality is that they fell into an extremely terrifying alien space, and now they are in a mission world with a ghost. It is said that the ghost is the famous Freddy! .
After confirming that the newcomers know the truth, the subsequent process is relatively simple. Regardless of whether these people are crying or shouting, under Tang Meng's reminder and Peng Hu's almost murderous gaze, the newcomers introduce themselves respectively. First, the two Among the takeaway workers, the older middle-aged man is named Tian Guohua. He is 43 years old this year. His occupation is indeed a delivery employee of rice dumplings. He has a nondescript face. Ever since he learned the truth, the man has always been... He sighed, as if he was lamenting the cruel injustice of fate to him. The young man in his early 20s was named Guo Yao. His job was the same as Tian Huaguo. The two were colleagues. Although their jobs were the same, Guo Yao's was obviously better than Tian Guohua's. Even worse, if Tian Guohua is currently sighing and sighing about his fate, then Guo Yao belongs to the group of people who were scared to death. Not only was he scared by the curse, he was also scared by Freddy. Even if it was his turn to introduce himself, the young man was just a mechanical version. Self-report your identity.
As the saying goes, there is no worst, only worse. Just as Guo Yao was immersed in unimaginable fear, the young woman introduced at the end simply burst into tears. The woman's name was Yang Xiaohui, 26 years old, and worked as a cleaning lady in a star-rated hotel in a certain city. The manager was basically a senior white-collar worker, and as soon as he introduced himself, Yang Xiaohui faced everyone and begged in panic: "Is this really a mission world where ghosts exist? Then will I die? ?I...I don’t want to die. Please don’t leave me behind. You must take me with you. Don’t worry, I will be honest and obedient..."
It is conceivable that even the words of pleading have come out, so this time at least it can ensure that the newcomers will not have any doubts, but will become convinced of the situation at hand, so much that they are afraid of being abandoned by the seniors. Since they are convinced, then The question is no longer in doubt.
"Don't worry, we won't abandon you. Taking care of the newcomers is the responsibility of the seniors. After all, each of us has come from the newcomer stage. After the mask dissipates, you can just follow the team. Although So, there are some things I still want to state in advance. Although we will try our best to ensure your safety during the mission, you must also be cautious and it is best not to act in private, otherwise I cannot predict the consequences."
Tang Meng's comforting words mixed with warnings made the three newcomers nod frequently. What's even more coincidental was that as soon as Tang Meng finished speaking, the transparent mask that lasted for a full 15 minutes disappeared instantly.
What does it mean when the mask disappears?
Quite simply, it means that the team is free from restrictions and can interact with plot characters!
】
Peng Hu was worthy of being a rough and straightforward man. As soon as the mask disappeared, the bald man looked nervous and almost instinctively looked at He Fei. It was not until he found that the young man was still eating that Peng Hu reluctantly looked at Zhao Ping and mouthed He also immediately asked: "The mask has disappeared, what should we do next?"
Faced with Peng Hu's direct talk, Zhao Ping also had no nonsense, but said calmly: "The mission stipulates that we must stay in Chunmu Town for 7 days. If the time is shorter, we can find a place to stay and just rely on time. It can sustain it, but unfortunately 7 days is too long, and it has seriously exceeded the team's endurance limit, so..."
"We still need to find a permanent place to live. Let's find a hotel first."
"Okay, if that's the case, then let's..."
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."
(Damn it! I know you don’t do anything simply, you don’t even finish a sentence in one breath!)
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but just when Zhao Ping, who served as the temporary captain, gave the order to find the hotel and Peng Hu followed closely and wanted to take action, suddenly, the man with glasses spoke again and directly stated that he had not finished speaking. Peng Hu suddenly felt unhappy and cursed the man with glasses in his heart. Unfortunately, his displeasure was ignored by Zhao Ping. After ignoring the ugly expression of the bald man's mouth twitching, he adjusted the bridge of his nose and glasses. Zhao Ping changed the subject and continued: "But before that, we have to go to the crime scene."
