    "Nightmare City"

    After the first version update, players realized that they could still upgrade after reaching 1 million points, and they could design their own dungeons!

    They have been tortured in so many cheating dungeons, and now they know that they can cheat others.

    Good!

    The opportunity for revenge has finally come. They were cheated in the dungeon. They must... continue to cheat others, pass on this cheating career forever, and let others experience the same feeling.

    Hey~

    Just looking at my poor points, one million is still far away, most players calm down, even not sure whether their points will become negative next time, one million is too highWell, with 100,000 points, you can still work hard.

    How long has it been since the game started, how can there be one million people, not to mention that most people's clearance rate is less than half, even if someone really has a 100% clearance rate, then he will be calculated based on an average of 20,000 points for one clearance.It takes 50 successful customs clearances to reach 1 million.

    Successfully cleared fifty times, is this human?This is God.

    While players were complaining about the difficulty of leveling up, the latest leaderboard in Nightmare City made everyone shut up.

    The leader of the leaderboard, a player named Zhou Zhou, has surpassed one million, and even his total points reached 1.1 million.

    And the second place is less than half of him.

    Players who are still cursing, how could someone reach one million players: ...there is a god!!!

    People who knew Zhou Zhou were sending messages to congratulate him, while players who didn't know him began to collect information about this god, no, this player.

    The forums for the past two days have been discussing who Zhou Zhou is. Some people say that he is the next heir of a certain great nobleman, while others say that he is a certain general in the army. There are all kinds of messy speculations.

    And some people pretended to be Zhou Zhou and enjoyed the praise of other players in the forum, but they were found out and scolded.

    In short, during this period of time in the game, the hottest topics were all related to Zhou Zhou.

    Every forum in the forum is discussing how this player did it, and whether it is possible for this player to open a training course!

    They're really getting killed by these dungeons.

    And Zhou Zhou made everyone in the Nightmare City know him in this way.

    During this period of time, Zhou Zhou has been obsessed with designing dungeons, and has never read the forum at all. After learning that Zhou Zhou is designing dungeons, several other friends stopped bothering him.So, as the person at the center of the topic, Zhou Zhou didn't know that he was no longer the unknown Zhou Zhou.

    It's the king of topics, the god of dungeons, the top of the rankings, Zhou Zhou.

    Until this day, a small plus sign quietly appeared behind every column on the leaderboard.

    Some careful players discovered that only Zhou Zhou, the only middle-level player they knew, could click on the little plus sign.

    After clicking on it, a few words were written on it.

    "A copy of Zhou Zhou's design"

    "1. Sweet home"

    Is this a copy already designed?

    The news quickly spread to the forum and caused quite a stir.

    After all, Zhou Zhou has become an existence that everyone looks up to in the game, and his every move will naturally attract the attention of all players.

    Everyone wants to know what the first dungeon designed by an intermediate player will look like.

    Moreover, the name of the dungeon has been announced. The name of the dungeon that does not seem to have the slightest threat is unique among all the dungeons that players have come into contact with.

    A dungeon with such a harmless name should be easy to clear... right?

    The players wondered uncertainly.

    Regardless of that much, this is the first dungeon designed by an intermediate player. After successfully clearing the level, you can show it off on the forum.

    Although the dungeon is randomly matched, maybe you are lucky enough to get this "Cozy Cabin". At that time, many players started to match the dungeon, hoping to have the opportunity to enter the first dungeon designed by Zhou Zhou.

    Good luck does not necessarily depend on chance, sometimes it can also depend on financial resources.

    Shirley and Keli looked at the lucky blessing props they had just bought with a lot of money, and showed satisfied smiles in unison.

    With this lucky blessing item, their chances of entering Zhou Zhou's dungeon have been greatly increased.

    As Zhou Zhou's friends, they naturally want to cheer each other on, but they themselves are not sure which dungeon they will get.At this time, the two of them learned about the lucky blessing props through some special channels. As long as they write their wishes on it, the possibility of realizing them will increase by 50%.

    Of course, the price is not cheap, it is almost equivalent to a resurrection item.

    But for Zhou Zhou's sake, still gritted teeth and bought it.

    After writing their good wishes to do the dungeon task of "Cozy Cabin" on the props, the two began to match the dungeon with anticipation.

    It must be "Cozy Cabin"!

    Sure enough, the props that cost a lot of money really worked.

    Looking at the copy of "Cozy Cabin" that appeared on the task panel, and the designer Zhou Zhou marked below, the two met palms tacitly.

    "I don't know what the copy designed by Zhou Zhou will look like." Keli was very curious.

    "But this cozy hut looks like Zhou Zhou's style." Shirley looked soft, after all, Zhou Zhou gave people the same feeling, gentle, bright and pure.

    "Okay, let's hurry up and do the task. We can't embarrass Zhou Zhou. His first dungeon must be cleared successfully."

    After the two finished talking, they walked towards the direction pointed by the map, and they all looked confident from the back.

    They are Zhou Zhou's best friends, and they will definitely pass the customs smoothly.

    The two filters are so thick that players who forget that this game is essentially a horror game are actively walking into the arms of the devil.

    And Keli seems to have forgotten that when he was in a doll's house, his evaluation of Zhou Zhou was - natural black.

    In a certain building in Novice Village, the city of nightmares, Ke Li and Shirley stood on the 99th floor. There was a small wooden sign on the white wooden door with four words written on it.

    “Cozy Cottage”

    It seems that there is indeed something wrong here.

    The two looked at each other, Keli stretched out his hand, and turned the doorknob half a turn, and the unlocked door was easily opened.

    Even though they knew that this was a dungeon designed by Zhou Zhou, the caution they used to make dungeons was still deeply imprinted in their actions.

    Inside, is a bedroom.

    The floor-to-ceiling windows revealed a large amount of light, making the whole room brighter. The pale yellow tulle curtains facing the window, half-opened and half-closed, floated slightly as they opened the door.A thick plush bed on the front can imagine how soft it is at a glance.The head of the bed is also filled with small dolls of different colors and shapes, each of which is only the size of a palm, cute and playful.

    The small bedroom is cozy and compact, which made the two of them startled for a moment when they thought they would see some weird and dark scene.

    Walking into this small bedroom, the white wooden door behind them slowly closed and disappeared, and finally merged with the white wall without any trace.

    The two looked at the small room, the bright and warm colors and furnishings made people unable to help but relax.

    "Sure enough, it's Zhou Zhou's style." Shirley couldn't help but said.

    Keli also nodded in agreement, and there was a sudden movement on the mission panel, and the two looked down together.

    "Instance Name: Warm Cottage"

    "Mission content: Successfully exit from the escape exit within 12 hours."

    "Main task 1: Get out of the room."

    12 hours?It seems that the volume of this dungeon is not very large, and the time limit is very short compared to the dungeon that takes days and nights.

    On the other side of the bed, on the far left side of the wall, there is a log-colored door. This door is more harmonious with this bedroom than the door that disappears after they enter, and the main task should be to make them think about it.Find a way to get out of this door.

    Keli was the first to approach the log-colored door, and tentatively twisted the doorknob.

    "Sure enough, it is locked. It seems that the first thing we need to do is find the key."

    The originally clean room gradually became messy. The two searched the bedroom separately, but they couldn't find the key to open the door.

    "Let me look under the bed." Keli suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked under the bed yet, so he squatted on the ground and bent over to look under the bed.

    The bottom of the bed was very low, and Keli could only see inside by lying on the ground.

    However, even though the room was so brightly lit, it was pitch black under the bed, and nothing could be seen.

    Keli got up and took out the lighting tool, lay down on the ground again and scanned the bottom of the bed with the light.

    As the light moved, the bottom of the bed was gradually illuminated, and there was nothing underneath.

    Keli was disappointed, and was about to get up, when something suddenly broke into his vision, and quickly flashed under the bed, escaping into the darkness where the light did not reach.

    "Damn it!" Keli was taken aback by the sudden appearance, and stood up abruptly.

    His actions also scared Shirley: "What's wrong?"

    "I just saw something under the bed."

    Shirley was silent, and suddenly climbed onto the bed quickly, and the soft bed sagged slightly: "Did you see something?"

    Keli thought about it suspiciously, but the speed of the thing was too fast, and he couldn't see it clearly. Anyway, there must be something there.

    "Do you want to stop watching?" Shirley asked lying on the bed.

    Keli was a little nervous. He felt that the thing that flashed by just now seemed a little familiar, but now there were only the two of them here, and Shirley had climbed into bed a long time ago. He didn't dare to look at it alone.

    Seeing his brother hesitate, Shirley thought for a while and suddenly said, "Could it be a ghost."

    Keli thinks it is possible, after all, ghosts are almost becoming the standard configuration of the Nightmare City dungeon.In addition, Zhou Zhou likes these things very much, and it is also in line with his character to put a few ghosts under the bed.

    If it is a ghost, there is no need to be afraid. They are no longer the novice players who were frightened and fainted when they saw the ghost.Even ghosts can keep their faces unchanged, um...probably.

    Keli regained his composure, and changed to another lighting tool. Compared with the previous one, the brightness is much higher and the range is wider, even if there is something, he can definitely see it at a glance.

    Prepared to see a lot of ghosts under the bed, Keli slowly bent down, with his head almost touching the ground, and shone under the bed with a white light that could almost blind people's eyes.

    Almost at the moment when his eyes fell on the bottom of the bed, Keli saw the appearance of that thing clearly.

    That is a human hand!

    Keli choked for breath, why are there people under the bed?

    In the next second, the hand actually moved.

    The flesh-colored human hand was originally resting on the ground under the bed with its back facing down. After being irradiated by the strong light, it suddenly turned over, and its fingers touched the ground, firmly "standing" on the ground.

    Even though he had no eyes, Keli felt that he was being "watched" by that hand.

    Like some kind of reptile, the four fingers of the human hand suddenly crawled towards Keli's direction alternately.

    The action is very fast!

    "Oh my god!" Keli suddenly felt a chill in his heart, jumped up like an electric shock, and jumped onto the bed with one step.

    Shirley, who was still looking at her brother with her head poking around, was startled by the other party's actions again, and stood up from the bed, asking in panic, "What's wrong? What did you see?"

    "There's a hand under the bed!"

    Shirley: "...Scared you like this with one hand?"

    "No, it can move, it can run, and it's running towards me!" Keli tried his best to explain to his sister what he saw, and used his fingers to show the movement of that hand, and from time to time he moved towards me.He looked around, afraid that the hand would suddenly rush out from somewhere.

    Shirley also became nervous, and she and her brother lowered their heads to look around, but she didn't see any hands.

    "You shouldn't..." You read it wrong.

    Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden jingling sound from under the bed, as if someone was knocking on the bottom of the bed in different places, trivial and irregular.

    It's been going on and on...

    These sounds successfully made the two people on the bed stop talking and moving. They carefully identified the source of the sound, but found that there was movement everywhere under the bed.

    It was as if under the invisible bed, there were many unknown creatures constantly surging, and maybe they would climb up along the edge of the bed.

    Shirley was terrified by her own imagination, and tremblingly asked in a low voice: "What the hell is under the bed?"

    How did Keli know, he only saw one hand, a severed human hand that could run very fast.But the current movement doesn't look like it can be made by one hand at all!

    The two seemed to be trapped on an isolated island, and only the bed occupying the highest point in the house was their only safe point.

    The jingling of the bells rang for a while, and then suddenly stopped in an instant.

    Shirley and Keli were still standing on the bed, not even daring to breathe. The sudden stop of the sound not only did not relax them, but even made their nerves more tense.

    It felt, like, the calm before the storm.

    The whole room was extremely quiet, as if even time had been stopped.

    The next moment, many strange creatures suddenly emerged from under the bed.

    It was a human hand.

    Running with "limbs" like mice, but faster and more flexible than them, crawling from under the bed towards the floor of the bedroom.

    In a blink of an eye, the originally clean and clean ground was filled with human hands.

    Even these human hands were still climbing towards the heights. They grabbed the lace coverlet hanging over the bed, grabbed the sheet with their index finger and other fingers, and kept climbing.

    When Shirley and Keli saw the scene of people rushing out, their scalps were numb, their backs felt cold, and they felt a chill.

    The ordinary hands that used to grow on human body have turned into another kind of strange creatures at this time, each one seems to have life, and the flexibility is so frightening.

    And when they realized that these human hands, which seemed to have self-awareness, were crawling on the bed from all over the place, the two of them broke down instantly.

    Obviously "they" haven't come up yet, haven't touched them yet, but Shirley has a kind of itch from being touched by a strange creature, and goose bumps all over her body.

    Keli felt the same way.

    They took pillows and beat the hands of the people who had climbed up, kicked them, threw dolls, and pulled the bed covers, and tried every means to get these weird hands down.

    I don't know if their crazy behavior frightened these hands, but none of them continued to climb on the bed in the end.But there are still many on the ground, which are constantly wriggling and crawling, so dense that even people who don't have trypophobia may resist closing their eyes.

    They don't even know when these scary and weird things will continue to crawl on the bed.

    This is the first time that Keli and Shirley have encountered such a situation.

    They used to be afraid of ghosts floating around, the resentful girl who looks like a ghost, and the endless cycle, but only these strange creatures without human form, like nightmares, made these two courageousIt was very big, and the brothers and sisters who followed Zhou Zhou all the way, hugged each other and cried.

    "Woooo, can we not do the task, this thing looks disgusting."

    "I'm so scared too, are they trying to climb on me, don't~ help~"

    The two cried miserably, but there was no abstention in the dungeon, and they couldn't even think about being eliminated immediately.

    With tears in his eyes, Keli glanced unconsciously, but happened to see a hand climbing up the curtain.

    The point is, there is a silver key tied to this hand, which is constantly dangling with the movement of the hand.

    It was the house key.

    Keli immediately thought that if they could get out of the room, they could keep the hands in the room.

    But why is the key in the hands of Weird!!!

    Wiping his tears, Keli comforted his sister not to cry, and at the same time told Shirley his plan. In order to leave this horrible room, they had to find a way to get the key.

    Perhaps it was the strong desire to go out that inspired the fighting spirit and courage of the two. While weeping, the two kept knocking the hand with the key off the curtain with the props they brought.

    The human hand fell from the curtain, landed on the ground with a thud, and then flexibly used its fingers to "stand up" and crawl around.

    The props Shirley and Keli used was a very long wooden stick. Apart from resurrection props and lucky props, they didn't buy any expensive props. They were tools that could be used daily with only a few points.

    The focus of this plan is to use a wooden stick to pick out the key, or pick out the hand.

    The hands crawled fast, but Keli, who was holding the wooden stick, moved a little slower, and couldn't get the key off at all. In addition, the hand crawling around from time to time made it more difficult for him to take the key.

    Shirley looked at her brother nervously, and at the same time looked around to see if someone would climb onto the bed with hands.

    Keli tried for a long time without success, and was sweating profusely.

    Realizing that this method won't work, he gritted his teeth suddenly, and said to Shirley: "Let's change the method, maybe we can get out soon, but we just need to be patient."

    Shirley's forehead was also dripping with sweat, and she looked anxiously at the side: "As long as I can get out."

    A few minutes later, the hand with the key was pressed tightly by the wooden stick and moved towards the bed.

    The hand that was constantly rubbing and sliding against the ground tried to escape many times, digging the ground with its fingers, and grabbing other hands, but it still couldn't withstand the pressure of the wooden stick on the back of the hand.

    Finally, the hand was moved under the bed, and the key was within easy reach.

    Shirley knelt by the bed, trembling all over, but she still took a deep breath and quickly reached out to get the key.

    Even though she knew that the hand was pinned down by the wooden stick and could not escape, when she took the key, the hairs on her entire arm stood on end, and goose bumps arose.

    Especially when her hand accidentally touched the severed hand that was still struggling, she felt her hand numb from fingertips to her heart.

    Woohoo, can't take hands anymore.

    Finally, the key was taken down.

    Standing on the bed, the two were very excited, but they still faced another problem, how to get across the distance from the bed to the door...

    A huge light-colored bed sheet fell from the sky and landed on the ground, covering all hands on the ground at the same time. Shirley and Keli quickly jumped out of bed and ran towards the door.

    The bed sheet is not thick, so I can feel that many hands are constantly stepping on my feet, and it still has a soft touch.

    This disgusting touch made the hairs on the two of them extend from their backs all the way to the Tianling Gai, and they wished they could lose their feet.

    Keli's movements have never been so fast. The moment he touched the door, he inserted the key in the lock and turned it without any mistakes, while simultaneously turning the doorknob with the other hand.

    "Crack!"

    The door is open!

    They didn't even have time to see what was going on behind the door, so they stepped out.

    At the moment when the log-colored door was closed, both of them felt their souls relaxed for a moment.

    As the door was closed, the sound of the severed hand crawling was also left in the room.

    What caught the eye was a living room.

    The living room is well lit, with the same warm color as the bedroom, and most importantly, it is very quiet, with no human hands present.The quiet environment made the two of them relax slowly. At this time, Shirley and Keli were shaking their legs.

    The two supported each other and sat on the sofa in the living room, adjusting their breathing and calming down.

    "Tell me, Zhou Zhou, how did Zhou Zhou..." come up with this kind of thing.

    Shirley's lips were still trembling, obviously the scene just now left her with lingering fear.

    Keli licked his parched lips. In order to suppress that hand so that it wouldn't move, he exerted all his strength. At this time, his hands were also trembling."I don't know, and I think it might be even scarier later on."

    Keli spoke with difficulty.

    Shirley was silent for a moment: "Probably not, I guess the scariest thing is the one just now, and we might be able to find an escape exit soon."

    Shirley herself didn't believe these words, so she could only talk for comfort.She clasped her hands together, her eyelashes fluttering uneasily as she looked around.

    After calming down a little, she always felt that those hands might emerge from somewhere.

    Her gaze gradually swept across the entire living room and the doors of other rooms. She didn't know what was behind those closed doors, but she didn't dare to look in alone.

    It's just that Shirley vaguely saw a few words written on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room covered by tulle when his eyes glanced somewhere behind.

    Even though it was only a few steps away, she didn't dare to go there alone, and finally went to check with Keli.

    The gauze-like curtains were pulled open, and four words were neatly written on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

    "exit"

    It is even thoughtfully marked with an arrow pointing to the floor-to-ceiling glass in the middle.

    Keli: "..."

    Shirley: "..."

    Sure enough, it was still Zhou Zhou's style. The escape exit was written in such a large size that the players might not see it.

    It would be a big mistake to think that they will be able to pass the level immediately.

    The windows cannot be opened at all and cannot be broken.

    There are three lock holes on the window frame. It seems that the corresponding three keys must be found to open the escape exit.

    Shirley looked at the keyhole, then at the room they had just escaped from, and asked hesitantly, "Could the key just now be one of the keys for the escape exit?"

    Keli who didn't pull out the key when he escaped: "... makes sense."

    The key was still stuck in the door on the inner side of the bedroom, and the two brothers and sisters gave in to each other, neither of them willing to enter again.

    Even if it only required opening the door and reaching in with a hand to quickly remove the key, the whole process might only take a few seconds, but they still dared not.

    After all, no one can be sure whether it is a key or a human hand that is touched.

    After being "humility" for a long time, I still decided to find the remaining two keys first. The key is stuck in the door anyway and I can't escape, so I will talk about it last.

    The two moved together and did not dare to separate. After a little observation, they found that the structure of this house was very simple. The living room and dining room were connected. There was also a study and a kitchen. The overall area was not large, and the time left was enough for them to find the key..

    Of course, if the other two keys are on other weird creatures, then... not necessarily.

    The two started searching from the living room, and before they had rummaged a few times, there was a knock on the door.

    The doorway refers to the main entrance of this house. The door next to the kitchen is obviously the real entrance and exit of this house. It’s just that they just tried it.For decoration.

    And the cat's eyes on the door were even darker.

    Shouldn't it be a decorative door?Why is there a knock on the door?

    "Boom, boom, boom."

    The knock came again, slowly and politely.

    Keli and Shirley shrank back like frightened birds, staring at the door tightly, not daring to go forward for a moment.

    "Boom, boom, boom."

    The voice sounded again, very patiently.

    Although the two were afraid, they hesitated because they didn't know what was going on outside.

    "Could it be another player?" Keli stared at the door closely.

    "It could also be a ghost." Shirley also stared at the door closely.

    "What if it's..." Man handed.

    "Impossible, impossible, one time is enough for that kind of thing, another wave will really drive me crazy!" Shirley wanted to cry again.

    "Boom, boom, boom."

    There were three knocks on the door at regular intervals, as if they would keep knocking if they didn't respond.

    The hearts of the two were raised high, and Keli finally couldn't stand it anymore.

    "Let's go there together, let's see through the cat's eyes first." Although the cat's eyes were dark just now, there are people outside now... or something else, maybe they can see it.

    Shirley nodded, clutching Keli's sleeve tightly.

    The two slowly moved towards the door, not daring to make any big noises.

    Finally moved to the door, the knocking on the door continued.

    Keli held his breath, and found that the cat's eyes, which were still dark before, showed a little light, which was really different from what he saw just now.

    Shirley also noticed the difference. She and Keli exchanged glances, and then watched her brother approach the door and look into the cat's eye with one eye closed.People are very nervous.

    Keli looked into the cat's eye, and the people outside knocked on the door again at the right time. The slightly arc-shaped cat's eye made the corridor outside also become arc-shaped, but the people facing the door could see it very clearly.

    It was a familiar-looking man in a black sweater.

    Seemingly realizing that someone was looking at him in the cat's eyes, the man stared straight at him, met Keli's eyes, and evoked a faint smile.

    A chill rushed up suddenly, Keli's pupils constricted, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

    The man outside—it was himself!

    The author has something to say:

    Zhou Zhou asked Locke if he could lend him a hand, which he wanted to use in the dungeon.

    Locke gave a large box very arrogantly. Because their hands and feet often run around, sometimes they get lost and cannot be found, which affects their daily life, so a large number of them are copied through biotechnology.

    In the virtual game, it can be copied infinitely.

    Locke, who wanted to become good friends with Zhou Zhou, smiled shyly: "If you don't have enough, just come and get it. I still have a lot, and I have it in every part. If one box is not enough, I have several boxes."

    Zhou Zhou was very grateful to the other party. Originally, he only wanted to use one hand to put the key, but it seemed that Locke's intention was wasted if he didn't use so many hands.

    So Zhou Zhou dumped the whole box of severed hands into the bedroom.

    Zhou Zhou (circling happily): It’s all in use!Nothing wasted!
