Hell App - Chapter 76
Minus nineteen floors.
The four surviving players stood in the corridor, looking at the only iron door with incomprehensible expressions.
When we came in, there were eleven people in total, but now, not even half of them were dead.
What’s even worse is that they have to share a room with Liu Xiyu again.
Liu Xiyu had no idea what the players were thinking. She stared at the iron door in the middle of the wall, feeling a little excited and a little scared.
In previous dreams, she had been to the negative seventeenth floor at most.
It was her first time to go to the 19th floor.
In the dream, the floors in the cellar were very jumping, and she herself was confused and had no backbone at all. She only knew how to follow the flow of people.
Every time she played the game, every time she stepped into a house and saw hideous ghosts and monsters, she felt extremely frightened. And those games were each weirder than the last. She couldn’t figure out how to play these games at all. Fortunately, every time there were many faceless monsters in front of her.
She had a vague hunch that without those smart faceless monsters, she would definitely die.
Liu Xiyu didn’t know what would happen if she died in her dream, but even in her dream, she was afraid of dying.
However, when she saw the iron gate in front of her, an extremely clear voice suddenly appeared in her mind. The voice told her that as long as she entered this door, she could leave the cellar forever and no longer have recurring nightmares.
Although she couldn’t remember the games on the front floor clearly, she had some vague impressions.
But this completely unfamiliar negative 19th floor was completely unfamiliar to her.
Liu Xiyu couldn’t tell whether she was expecting or fearing.
Now she wanted to go in immediately to get rid of the recurring dream. However, she had a hunch that if she entered, she would see something she didn’t want to see.
However, she also had a hunch that if she didn’t go in, she would have the same nightmare in two days.
She would also walk alone through the desolate and cold park, buy a ticket from the conductor, and enter the horror cellar.
Then, she will meet a new group of faceless people. After a few simple conversations, she will break through the level with them. When the Faceless Man is almost dead, she will arrive here again, then wake up suddenly and repeat everything before until she completes the game.
“…I don’t want to have this dream anymore!”
Although Liu Xiyu has never been hurt by a ghost, not even a hair has been pulled out by a ghost.
However, she witnessed the death of many faceless people, and she always felt something was strange. Although those faceless people had no faces and looked as terrifying as ghosts, they were otherwise just like humans. Seeing them being tortured by evil spirits made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
“If I don’t go in this time… I will come here next time…”
Liu Xiyu muttered something in a low voice, gently cheering herself up.
This time, she didn’t wait for the black mist behind her to catch up, nor did she wait for the players to go in first to explore the path. For the first time, she mustered up the courage and opened the door alone.
“Squeak——”
The heavy iron door was opened.
What appeared behind the door was a clean mahogany table. On the table, except for a black and white photo, there was nothing else.
Bloodstains, severed limbs, screams…all bloody and terrifying things did not appear in this room. However, the expressions of the players did not relax.
Because this is a posthumous photo.
Compared with the previous levels, this silent room brought more pressure to everyone. There was nothing, which meant that it was difficult to find clues.
Liu Xiyu stood in front of the photo in a daze, completely motionless, as if she was stunned.
Bai Yan couldn’t figure out the situation and didn’t want to touch the suspicious photo rashly, but Tom, the surviving player, stepped forward and tried to touch the photo——
“do not move!”
Liu Xiyu suddenly shouted: “Don’t touch my mother’s photo!”
Tom’s hand stopped in mid-air and froze, and he quickly retreated to the door, really not daring to move.
Liu Xiyu’s words made all the players understand that there was something inside. The photo of Liu Xiyu’s mother… was almost at the end. This room was really her home court.
Everyone was wondering what use Liu Xiyu would be in this level. However, Liu Xiyu didn’t care about this. She didn’t even think about how to pass the level.
Now all her energy was focused on the picture.
Liu Xiyu knew about the posthumous photos. She had seen such black and white photos on TV. Only after death would there be such photos.
However, her mother is not dead, she is just missing. This is just a dream, it can’t be true!
Liu Xiyu was shocked and couldn’t accept the scene in front of her.
The mother in the photo smiled at her, as gently as in real life.
I don’t know why, even though I knew it was a fake, Liu Xiyu’s nose felt sore when she saw her mother’s photo, and she still shed tears involuntarily.
She had many things to say to her mother, but after her mother disappeared, her father could not find her no matter how hard he searched.
Even in her dream, she couldn’t dream of her mother. All she could see was this photo…
In the dream, Liu Xiyu’s emotions changed rapidly.
There seemed to be no other dangers in this room, and she had long since lost her fear of ghosts. She reached out directly towards the photo to take it away.
Even if it was a dream, she didn’t want to leave her mother’s photo in this place. She wanted to take the photo with her, just like she put the photo containing her mother under her pillow every day before going to bed.
Liu Xiyu picked up the photo frame. The moment she touched the photo frame, she seemed to hear a voice——
That voice was extremely familiar to her. She had heard it countless times since she was a child. It was her mother’s voice, and she would never admit it!
“desire……”
“…My wish is that my daughter will never be killed by a ghost!”
The sound was fleeting, only ringing in Liu Xiyu’s ears for a moment, and disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared.
Her tears fell one drop at a time, hitting the photo frame and flowing down along the photo of her mother.
She didn’t understand what this sentence meant, and when she heard the familiar voice, she just felt aggrieved. If mother is in the dream, why doesn’t she meet me? Does mother know that I really miss her…
Liu Xiyu lowered her head and sobbed softly while holding the photo. Bai Yan and others did not hear the sound just now. They only heard Liu Xiyu crying and felt a little puzzled.
Before anyone could analyze anything from Liu Xiyu’s cries and photos, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
When the dizziness passed, they appeared in front of a ticket office inexplicably. Tom disappeared, but Liu Xiyu was still crying in front of them holding the photo.
Then, the sky began to break.
Bai Yan quickly lowered his head, and the return button was already displayed on the app, which meant that Liu Xiyu was about to wake up.
When Liu Xiyu wakes up, the dream world will undoubtedly be destroyed. Although the last level was surprisingly simple, the three survivors were pleasantly surprised, and they all clicked to return.
After the three people left, the world suddenly tore apart. Liu Xiyu rubbed her eyes, turned over, and sat upright from the bed.
“Mother……”
Liu Xiyu wiped away the tears on her face. She actually cried when she fell asleep just now.
She raised her hand and turned on the light. The warm light made her feel better.
She took out a picture from under the pillow. It was a family portrait of the three of them.
Dad, Mom, and her.
In the photo, she is standing between her parents, smiling happily.
During the day, my father was busy at work, and spent the rest of the time outside begging for help for my mother. At night, he was also busy with my mother’s affairs.
Every night, she could only feel a slight sense of security with her family portrait on her pillow.
Liu Xiyu looked at the photos and recalled how happy the family of three was when her mother was still alive. At that time, not only her mother but also her father were not as haggard as they are now.
My mother disappeared. Not only her, but my father also aged a lot during this time and started to have gray hair.
Looking at the photos, Liu Xiyu gradually lost consciousness.
She stared blankly at her mother in the photo. Her mother was still so beautiful. She was wearing a beautiful dress and holding her hand. Her mother was looking at her in the photo with loving eyes. Maybe she felt her mood. The mother in the photo suddenly turned her eyes and looked straight at her…
Looking at her…
Liu Xiyu felt very moved, but she was only excited for a moment before she suddenly realized why the eyes of the people in the photo were moving.
She bit her lip and looked at her mother in the photo. Her mother was looking directly at her with a weird smile on her face.
What’s even weirder is that in the photo, the mother’s face is pale and her eyes become very scary. Liu Xiyu moved her eyes. The people in the photo seemed to be alive. Wherever her eyes looked, her mother’s eyes also looked.
Mom has been paying attention to her…
The eyes of the woman in the photo kept moving. Because Liu Xiyu quickly stopped staring at the photo, the eyes of the woman in the photo also stopped moving.
However, she was staring straight at Liu Xiyu, and her weird smile was getting bigger and bigger. She was slowly sticking her head out of the photo. Maybe, it wouldn’t take long for her to come out of the photo…
When Liu Xiyu saw this scene, her hands began to tremble violently, but she still did not throw away the photo.
She thought of her dream, and the photo of herself in the dream.
She felt the coolness on her back, and turned her head thoughtfully, only to find that at some point, the human head in the bottle, the teacher with upside-down features…the monsters in the dream all came out of the dream one after another, and they surrounded the bed. , completely blocked by the bed.
Liu Xiyu realized something, and a trace of terror flashed in her eyes. She still held the photo in her hand and shrank into the bed. But when she saw her hiding in the bed, the ghosts in the dream all moved towards the bed. , getting closer and closer to her.
Endless fear engulfed Liu Xiyu’s heart. She wanted to shout, to ask for help, to eat people… Slowly, she looked at her mother who was smiling slyly in the photo, and suddenly she was no longer so afraid.
Gradually, a sly smile that was exactly the same as the woman in the photo appeared on her lips.
She lowered her forehead and stretched her neck towards the photo. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the room, and the ghosts and ghosts in the room also disappeared without a trace. The room was quiet, and there was no trace of anyone.
No one was holding it, the photo was floating on the bed, lying quietly in the middle of the quilt, motionless.
In the photo, the girl and her mother were pale, with identical sly smiles on their faces.
They turned their heads miserably to the man on the far left of the photo, looking directly at him, until at midnight, there was a sound of keys opening the door.
