Leng Shuanghan was sitting on the sofa, watching the TV series boredly; the sound of dishes colliding with the running water kept coming from the kitchen.
"Oh, wake up...the kitchen is over there, and the cake is in the refrigerator!" Leng Shuanghan raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at Tang Yiling, then ignored her and continued watching the TV series.
【Who are you? do we know each other. 】
[I knew you would say that, you have no idea, what on earth am I...]
The voice of the male protagonist in the TV series being extremely broken came to his ears, and Tang Yiling, who was still confused, slowly walked into the kitchen.
Rowena, who was washing the dishes, still had a smile on her face; she turned to look at Tang Yiling who walked into the kitchen, and reached out to take the empty porcelain plate in Tang Yiling's hand.
"Don't be too nervous, we just want to confirm one thing." Tang Yiling was hesitant to speak. After hearing Rowena's first answer, the dissipated confusion was replaced by growing doubts.
"As long as that matter is confirmed, we will let you go back." While speaking, Rowena had washed the last porcelain plate and put it into the cupboard together with the previous ones.
"What do you want to confirm?"
Facing Tang Yiling's doubts, Rowena responded with a meaningful expression of sadness. "Soon, it will be revealed..."
Before he finished speaking, in the TV series, the male protagonist's extremely collapsed voice echoed in the living room, and he broke into the kitchen extremely roughly.
【Who are you? do we know each other. 】
[I knew you would say this, you have no idea how many times I have heard this sentence! 】
"Bang! Zizzi——"
The sound of explosions of electronic equipment mixed with current came from the living room. Then came another roar of Leng Shuanghan on the verge of collapse.
"Get out of here!!! Do you know how many times I heard your dog bark! How many times! Ah!——"
Tang Yiling was in the kitchen, listening to the roaring shouts in the living room, her body trembled slightly unconsciously, and her eyes were full of tremors.
Rowena on the side seemed to have been used to it for a long time. After sighing, she bowed slightly towards Tang Yiling.
"Oh, forget it...please don't mind. After all, as long as we are human, we will have emotional breakdowns."
(But this sounds a bit different from the emotional breakdown you mentioned!)
"It's okay, I can understand..." Although Tang Yiling complained in her heart, she still agreed with Rowena's words.
"I almost forgot, we haven't introduced us to you yet." As if remembering something, Rowena bowed slightly to Tang Yiling again. "This is Rowena, I belong to Master Shuanghan, um..."
"It's a partner." Leng Shuang's extremely cold voice came from the kitchen door. Tang Yiling looked back and saw Leng Shuanghan, whose pupils were covered with white frost, staring at the two of them coldly.
At this time, the cold air on her body, even without the power of the curse, could actually feel the low temperature alarm coming from her body!
"[Leng Shuanghan]. I don't know how many times I have told you my name..." An angry voice came out of Leng Shuanghan's mouth, making Tang Yiling, who was already a little frightened, directly Silence.
"Have you confirmed it, my lord?" Rowena walked to Leng Shuanghan's side and asked softly.
"Yes, confirmed..." Leng Shuanghan nodded slightly, seeming to confirm some of Luo Weina's guesses.
"Then he..."
"Maybe it's some special situation, we can't confirm it yet." Leng Shuanghan looked at Tang Yiling again, who looked a little too "naive" compared to them. She couldn't confirm what she was thinking.
"In this situation, it is meaningless to let him go or not." The white frost in Leng Shuanghan's eyes quickly disappeared, and the light blue became dominant again. "Let's listen to what he has to say."
Noticing the gazes of the two men, Tang Yiling first felt his body that was not frozen, stabilized his mind, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"If you two are sure that this is not Gotham, please..."
"Please don't say the Riddler's lines, it will only bother me more. At least give me a reminder to wake me up."
Before Tang Yiling could finish speaking, Leng Shuanghan actually took over the topic and finished everything Tang Yiling was going to say with Tang Yiling's shocked expression!
Although she was shocked by Leng Shuanghan's prediction, Tang Yiling could hear the undisguised feeling of exhaustion from Leng Shuanghan's emotionless words.
"Although I have said this reminder many times, I still hope you can answer it next time." Leng Shuanghan pulled the high stool aside and lay down on the kitchen table tiredly.
Raising his head and looking at Tang Yiling who was still confused, Leng Shuanghan said the hint. "Hint: Death 13."
"Tarot card number 13, the God of Death!" After receiving the prompt, Tang Yiling immediately thought of the No. 13 card in the Tarot card, the God of Death. But the next second, he denied his conjecture.
"No, that's not right!"
"The meaning of death is the end of everything, indicating that everything will end at this moment, but this is not consistent with the facts shown."
Tang Yiling recalled the conversation with Luo Weina and Leng Shuanghan from when he woke up to now, and it seemed that they were telling him... everything is not over yet.
(Reverse...the God of Death...)
"I still need a proof!" He had the answer in his heart, but Tang Yiling still wanted Leng Shuanghan and the two to provide a proof.
"If you can cure your Alzheimer's disease, I can save a lot of time." Leng Shuanghan lay weakly on the dining table and complained in Tang Yiling's tone.
Based on Tang Yiling's inferences based on the fact that the memories of Leng Shuanghan and Leng Shuanghan remained correct, he had roughly guessed everyone's current situation.
"In other words, we are indeed in an illusion at this moment."
"To be precise, it's a nightmare where I don't know when I'll wake up, and I'm in a state of death at any time..."
Leng Shuanghan's answer gave Tang Yiling a lot of new thoughts and questions. But when he looked at Leng Shuanghan again, his sight was directly blocked by a blue notebook.
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and we still need to make a lot of preparations to deal with the next nightmare attack."
Without waiting for Tang Yiling to react, Leng Shuanghan directly called to Rowena who was standing aside and began to prepare for a new attack.
Tang Yiling opened the notebook with a brand-new appearance amidst the sounds of metal collisions. And the content outlined by Juanxiu's coherent fonts was quickly engraved into the brain.
"Dark shadows, thick fog, dark night; inspections, bells, midnight..." The notebook contains at least a dozen cursed stories closely related to Qian Ling Academy.
Looking at these "horror stories" recorded in the notebook and the corresponding haunting times, Tang Yiling was not only surprised by Leng Shuanghan and Leng Shuanghan, but some of the stories made him feel inexplicably familiar.
When the notebook was turned to the end, there was still an unfinished sentence. Before Tang Yiling could take a closer look, his attention was attracted by the yet-to-dry black pen oil on his fingers.
In a short period of time, the black pen oil completely penetrated into the fingerprint texture of the index finger and completely dyed it black.
"Wet-dry pen oil? Did you just write this?" Tang Yiling turned to the last page, and what came into view was a black fingerprint that was also embedded in the notebook page; the fingerprint also happened to fall on that sentence The last words.
[from (blurred)]
"Free, free?" Although the handwriting was covered by fingerprints, it was still vaguely legible. But compared to the details of the previous pages, this sentence does seem like an unfinished sentence.
Seeing this, Tang Yiling basically understood why she disappeared for a whole day without her sister Tang Linsu, Elio and Theia noticing.
(This can be used to prove that Leng Shuanghan and Rowena did not lie...at least about this aspect of the illusion)
Although he was still suspicious of their words, Tang Yiling maintained an inexplicable trust in them in his heart.
"Snapped!"
After closing the notebook in his hand and raising his head to look around, Tang Yiling realized that he had unknowingly walked to the balcony of the apartment.
The room was now filled with various cardboard boxes; the cardboard boxes were filled with various metal products, and the insides of the metal products were all engraved with uniform talismans without exception.
