In the middle of the night, in the unclear night, many "monsters" came to life.
Just like countless times before, black shadows appeared one after another, transforming into the appearance of the dead relatives of the townspeople. They pressed their pale fingers firmly against the glass, with a pair of hazy eyes full of affectionate tears, and spoke in their mouths. Whispering faintly.
Just like in the past, at Chen An's house after twelve o'clock, it was the "mom" with disheveled hair and red body who was tapping on the window.
Whether it is Chen Dahai, Chen An, or Tang Sirou, they have long been accustomed to this.
The first time was frightening and sad,
The second time was sad and sad,
the third time...
the fourth time...
Countless times over the years.
Already used to it.
Chen An was wearing a crisp white shirt, the lights in his room were dark, and he did not go to bed early as "in the past".
Instead, he concentrated on the wall at the edge of the window, waiting for "mother" to arrive.
With the help of the weak, unclear moonlight, Chen An glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
The second hand is moving and turning bit by bit,
"It's twelve o'clock..." Chen An took a deep breath and listened carefully to the "footsteps" that should appear outside the window, like moving on stilts.
tick tock,
tick,
Tick tock.
In the silent night, the sound of the wind was very weak. In the dark room, the only sounds were the ticking of the clock and Chen An's slight breathing.
Time passes by minute by minute.
But Chen An's eyes were filled with doubts, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
He glanced at the clock on the wall.
It's half past twelve.
Why hasn't the "mother" who was supposed to appear shown up yet?
In his guess, this weird person who transformed into a "relative" should be an existence similar to the "human fox weird". During the day, the weird person could not leave the forest due to some rules, but there was no such rule at night.
But it should only be effective against this kind of illusion type weirdness.
On the other hand, this kind of weird attack power is very weak, and it does not have the wisdom to use tools, so closing the door tightly and locking the doors and windows is enough.
"In memory" more than ten years ago, there were soldiers who fearlessly tried, wearing heavy protective armor, and facing the strange appearance of those "relatives".
But the ending is that there is no end to the killing.
Can't be killed cleanly.
And before midnight, these weird things will definitely come to your door.
Chen An's original plan was to use these weirdnesses and rely on the mobility of "Clown Liberation" and "Travel" to attract these monsters to the homes of Tuzi Moore, Ling Qinglin and Gu Laiying.
Even in false memories, these "players" are by no means ordinary people.
Tuzi Moore has the identity of a blacksmith in a blacksmith shop, Ling Qinglin is a "swordsman", and Gu Laiying has a Zen staff that can resist strange things.
But their "relatives" were not so lucky.
As for who of the nine players was real, Chen An knew the answer after he and "Tree" suppressed it with "Nodes".
The key is, how to make others believe.
Because according to the rules of the "tree", either all other players must be killed, or each of these players must face the "happiness" in their hearts and turn into "sorrow"!
Therefore, it is not enough for Chen An to kill these weirdos.
He needs to let these players kill their "relatives" with their own hands.
And taking advantage of the strange appearance of these relatives is also an opportunity to stimulate their own memories and desperate situations, and under the guidance of Chen An, use the power that originally belonged to the mutants.
It's...hard.
But this is also the only way to survive besides killing all the players.
Gutai
Chen An pursed his lips.
But why don't those "relative" monsters appear?
He quietly walked to the living room and listened carefully. Sirou upstairs and Dad next door were both sound asleep, with only the sound of light and even breathing.
Taking a deep breath, Chen An used the clown's "body control" to control the muscles of his legs and feet to prevent himself from making any sound. Then he tiptoed to the window of his house and slowly opened the window.
At the same time, his spirit was also in a state of high tension, and he was always watching the situation outside.
No one knows whether a hideous and terrifying "mother's" face with blood and tears will suddenly appear next!
Click...click...
The window was constantly being pulled.
But Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and was a little surprised that the monster that was supposed to appear still did not appear.
Is the night in Happy Town safe?
"Is this also Shu's strategy to keep me?" Chen An thought to himself.
This thing...
If I really choose to immerse myself in this happiness and marry Tang Sirou, this "tree" won't get into my baby...
Then he is its father in every sense.
Hey, a child who lacks love.
Taking a breath, Chen An took advantage of the night and quietly moved along the shadows of the houses, wandering on the street.
Under "absolute limb control", his figure has almost turned into a flexible spider or ape. His body can perform any difficult movements, and he can shuttle under the eaves of houses with the most ease and at the speed of human limit.
Soon, Chen An came to the house closest to his "home".
This is the home of "Gu Lai Yin", the muscular monk.
An existence like a battle mage.
If I remember correctly, Gu Laiyin's mutation path is a "twisted thing" of horror level in "The Hanged Man".
When he was in the wooden house before, he showed a power even more terrifying than the grotesque "monster".
It doesn't even require a physical mutation to possess the huge power.
Arriving at the door of Gu Laiyin's house in "Memory", Chen An took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
In the house, dull and rapid footsteps suddenly sounded!
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chen An knew that Gu Laiyin's family would not open the door for him.
In Gu Laiyin's family with false memories, there are Gu Laiyin's parents, Gu Laiyin, and Gu Laiyin's sister.
A family of four.
And his current identity in their eyes can only be that of a "monster in the night."
But, it's enough to wake them up.
Chen An took a deep breath and slowly pushed his right hand forward.
A light blue spiritual wave suddenly spread.
The next moment, Chen An's figure disappeared from the place.
When Chen An underestimated the scenery in front of him again, he was stunned.
He used "travel" to pass through the position two meters in front of him.
But what he saw... was under the warm yellow light, two elderly men and women who were tied up and had towels gagged on their mouths. They were looking at him with frightened eyes and stamping their feet!
"Are these Gu Laiyin's fake parents?" Chen An was shocked.
This is different from what he imagined.
The footsteps just now were not the sounds of them going downstairs to check out the situation after discovering that the monster was coming?
But are you asking yourself... for help?
Asking a monster for help?
A little confused... Chen An took a deep breath, and suddenly the spirituality in his mind was touched. He couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the stairs.
I saw a bald, strong man in linen clothes with a gentle smile on his face, holding a Zen staff, and carrying a gagged little girl on his back, who was constantly kicking her white calves and struggling.
