Welcome to the Nightmare Live

Chapter 172

With the cooperation of No. 02, Wen Jianyan got the hidden props in the ward with little effort.

"Congratulations to the anchor for getting the hidden item (difficult) in the copy!"

【Collection Degree 6/10】

Wen Jianyan stared at the props in her palm.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be a rag doll.

Worn, yellowed fabric, faded features, missing a button eye.

According to Wen Jianyan's experience, the props in each high-risk patient's room are either items they once owned or things that are closely related to their past.

Such as 01's dog toy, 03's picture book, 04's brush.

By the same token...

He raised his eyes and looked at No. 02 who was standing beside him.

Under Wen Jianyan's order, the tall man with brown skin and brown eyes stood aside obediently. When he realized that Wen Jianyan was looking at him, No. 02 raised the corners of his lips, revealing a radiance without haze. Smile.

Bright sunshine.

He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with finding dolls from his ward.

Wen Jianyan: "."

Forget it, he has no particular interest in the perverted spiritual world anyway.

He took a deep breath, stuffed the tattered rag doll into his backpack, and raised his chin at the other party: "Let's go."

For Wen Jianyan, the negative second floor is far more dangerous than the negative first floor.

After all, the patients at this level obviously have a very obvious target for him.

"you go first."

Wen Jian said.

One thing he is very clear about is that this level of cooperation is very fragile. The thinking mode of high-risk patients in Ping An Nursing Home is different from that of normal humans. Wen Jianyan is not so naive, thinking that the other party will absolutely obey him because he is afraid of death, No. 02 Therefore, for agreeing to this form of cooperation, life-threatening is only part of the reason, and another reason, which Wen Jianyan summed up as the narcissism complex of psychopaths.

He challenged the opponent's authority and completed the counter-kill in the field that the opponent was best at.

This is a signal to a sociopath with a powerful psychological flaw.

I am not your prey, I am stronger than you.

I can bite your neck.

As a narcissist, reversing this victory in a shady way would be an insult to the logic of his own actions and a denial of his past advantages.

These high-risk patients are more like beasts than humans, and the natural instincts of the creatures prevail over the moral codes of human society.

Therefore, Wen Jianyan is at least 70% to 80% sure that the other party will agree to cooperate with the situation.

Every high-risk patient has its own set of internal behavioral logic, whether it is choosing to obey and use it - just like Wen Jianyan did to 01, 03, and 04...

Or destroy it - just like what he did to 02 and Dr. Reese, it was the result of Wen Jianyan's careful consideration.

This is essentially a kind of psychological manipulation, directing things in a direction that is beneficial to you.

Therefore, Wen Jianyan will not point the gun at No. 02 all the time, because he does not think the other party will break his own behavior pattern. Constant vigilance is an unnecessary internal friction, which will drain his energy. In the unimportant part, while ignoring the more noteworthy outside world.

However, this does not mean that Wen Jianyan will reveal his back to him with confidence.

This is a game that they know each other well.

Wen Jianyan knew clearly that he was holding a fragile rope in his hand, and the end of the rope was tied to a beast that would bite back at any time. The other party now temporarily obeys the "sugar" in his hand, but once the other end of the scale is pressed down even more With more chips, resistance will bring more temptations, and it will choose to eat the master without hesitation.

Therefore, he must keep the whip in his other hand at all times.

When the other party bared his sharp teeth, he gave him a hard blow without hesitation.

This is not animal taming.

This is self-preservation.

"it is good."

No. 02 followed the flow of kindness, he turned around obediently, and left the ward first.

Wen Jianyan immediately followed.

The corridor on the negative second floor is similar to the negative first floor, but the distance between the wards is much farther and the number is much smaller.

The lights overhead had long since gone out, or in other words, the entire Ping An Nursing Home was plunged into darkness with no power, and only some of the emergency lights were still on.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

There are faint traces of blood splattered on the walls, some are still new, some have dried up, and the whole road is dead silent.

Out of caution, Wen Jianyan didn't turn on the flashlight.

He has been to the second floor and has a deeper impression of the road here. Coupled with the existence of 02 in the team, Wen Jianyan is not worried about finding the way or encountering monsters.

Speaking of monsters...

Looking at the back of the man who was just a few steps away from him, Wen Jianyan showed a thoughtful look while walking.

02 said before, maybe there is a little of his handwriting, but most of the work is not done by him.

Since the blueprint of the fantasy is the real world, then, 02's words are probably not groundless.

That being the case, those "monsters" should be some alienated patients.

Whether it is the slug head in the hall on the first floor, or the human worm that swallowed the human being in the belly on the negative second floor, or even those people who are driven by 02, there is a high probability that they were all members of the Ping An Sanatorium.

The process of the inner world's invasion of the outer world is not only significantly accelerated, this alienation is not only in terms of speed, but also in mode.

That is, the so-called copy difficulty increases.

The patient's body also became deformed along with his spiritual world, just like the "human bug" in the negative layer. Due to the fear of loneliness, he alienated into a monster that longed to devour more humans to accompany him.

The heads in the hall should be composed of many low-risk, more docile patients. It is difficult for a single one to pose a threat, but when their number forms a nest, the degree of danger will greatly increase.

But whether it is high risk or status, it is difficult to be regarded as a human being.

Wen Jianyan stared at No. 02's back.

The distance between them is not too far, even in such dim light, it can be seen that the man's body is tall and straight, with a standard wide frame, and the undulating texture of the muscles can be clearly seen under the thin hospital gown. .

However... No. 02 does not seem to have such traces on his body.

By analogy, the remaining few people have a high probability of maintaining their current human form?

Why?

Wen Jianyan couldn't figure this out.

You must know that the negative level 1 patients are also high-risk patients. In terms of danger level and crazy level, they should be no less than the negative level 2 patients. So why are they both high-risk, some have changed, and some have not?

While Wen Jianyan was pondering, the figure of 02 in front suddenly stopped.

"!"

Wen Jianyan immediately became vigilant.

Yuris turned around, grabbed Wen Jianyan's arm with his wide hand, and yanked him to the side.

Wen Jianyan tensed, but quickly let the other party act.

At present, there is no condition that can make the other party turn away from cooperation, that is to say, his current actions are likely to be beneficial to him.

No. 02's movements are very agile, like a big cat, soft and silent.

He pulled Wen Jianyan and hid in the guard room beside him.

The guard room was dark and the space was very narrow. On the ground lay a still hot corpse, wearing a guard's clothing, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Wen Jianyan was dragged by No. 02 and curled up in a corner of the guard room.

He frowned.

Although his physique is not that strong compared to the other party, he is still the skeleton of an adult, squeezed into such a narrow space, the distance between the two is compressed to the extreme.

Behind the spine is the man's warm and strong chest, almost as if he is half-embracing him, and through the thin clothing, it brings an unpleasant sense of intimacy.

"Someone is coming." The man's low voice sounded in his ears.

Almost as soon as his voice fell, there were familiar footsteps outside the guard room.

Da-da, da-da, da-da.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness, approaching in this direction.

Wen Jianyan's body tensed reflexively, and all his attention was withdrawn from the 02 behind him and focused on the outside of the guard room.

"Why did you come back suddenly? Don't waste our time."

Outside the guard room, a familiar voice sounded.

The gentle and harmless teenage voice has a bit of youth and hoarseness in the voice-changing period, but the faint impatience in the voice has no hidden meaning.

It's Neil.

"Shut up, if it wasn't to find him faster, do you think I would agree to split the time with you?" Another voice with a similar tone, but more stern and rough, sounded.

lol.

However, there was only one sound of footsteps.

That is to say, in the watch world, they still share the same body - at least temporarily.

"You'd better get something." Nair dropped a sentence in a vague way and fell into silence.

The sound of footsteps continued towards the guardhouse.

Wen Jianyan's heart rate increased slightly. He remembered that Lore was very good at "finding"...

The weight on his shoulders sank slightly.

It seemed that No. 02's chin was on his shoulder, and he turned his head, feeling the other person's soft curly hair brushing against his cheek.

"Shh."

"..."

Wen Jianyan was startled, he remembered that Nair had done the same thing before.

Even the arms across his waist looked very familiar, giving him a feeling of almost dislocation.

Footsteps sounded around the guard room, but never entered the guard room.

Wen Jianyan narrowed his eyes.

Last time, Nair should have changed Lore's visual cognition as another personality, so that he could not see them, but this time, Yuris probably used his ability again to create another guard. room.

But this familiarity...

"found it?"

Neil's indifferent voice sounded outside.

"..."

Lorre was quiet for a while, before roaring in frustration, "Shut up."

The sound of footsteps drifted away.

After the sound disappeared, Wen Jianyan broke free from No. 02's arm, pulled away from him at the fastest speed, and left the guard room.

In the dim light, the other party stared at the young man with those brown eyes, but his expression was filled with undisguised pleasure, with an exotic accent slightly rising, and the aggression was subtly hidden under the harmless shell: " What's the matter, am I doing something wrong?"

Wen Jianyan's eyelids jumped.

"..."

After a brief silence, he suddenly smiled, and the wary look he had previously dissipated. Wen Jianyan took a step forward, narrowed the distance between the two, and then raised his hand to carelessly rub the other's curly hair.

"of course not."

It is obviously a gesture of looking up, but it is forced by the youth to make a condescending meaning.

"Good job."

Wen Jianyan returned No. 02's previous evaluation of herself.
