After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle - Chapter 76

The atmosphere of the “Lovers” card is very unconventional in the moment, and everyone’s looks are a bit subtle.

Behind him, I don’t know any dream tourist who spit out: “No premature love is allowed in schools, right? Why would the first card be a lover…”

“What do you think? Do you really think the love card is just falling in love?” Another dream tourist replied.

“The divination is still going on, please keep quiet if you are waiting, otherwise it may affect the results of the divination!”

The female teacher’s gaze crossed Chi Nan’s shoulders, and she swept sharply towards the whispering classmates behind her, and everyone immediately became nervous.

Chi Nan put the unfolded “Lovers” card in front of him and raised his eyelids: “Excuse me, is my divination done?”

“You did a very good job,” the female teacher nodded at him, and turned her gaze to Tong Yu: “Please draw the card from the second classmate.”

Tong Yu has always acted in a straightforward manner. She quickly chose her own tarot from the remaining 21 cards and spread it out as a “hanged man” in an upright position.

“What do you mean?” Tong Yu, who didn’t know anything about Tarot, was confused. He intuitively felt that the man on the wooden shelf hanging upside down on the wooden shelf with vines entangled on the card had a sad and unknown taste.

Tang Yu’s brows twisted slightly: “I remember the Hanged Man symbolizes sacrifice and sacrifice, or…look at the problem from another angle.”

The female teacher compared her index finger to her lips and made a “hush” gesture: “Please draw the card from the third student.”

Tang Yu pursed his lips and knelt on the black silk carpet with a pious expression. He drew the third tarot calmly without distracting thoughts, but when he opened the cards, he gasped: “In position, death. ”

The word “Reaper” is enough to change the expressions of everyone present, after all, it doesn’t sound like a good card.

The female teacher’s blood-red nails swept over the three tarots one by one: “Lovers, the Hanged Man, and Death, these three cards determine your destiny tonight. Please follow the Tarot’s guidance and have a wonderful time. Night.”

Everyone: “…?”

Tong Yu looked at the female teacher incomprehensibly: “Teacher, wait a minute… What does your prom process, rules and difficulty have to do with Tarot?”

The female teacher once again used her nails to click on the spread cards: “The answer is in Tarot. You need to observe, explore, and insight yourself.”

Tong Yu: “…”

Everyone looked at these three slightly ominous cards at a loss, Chi Nan looked at Tang Yu: “Can you explain the basic card meaning, right?”

Tang Yu nodded and pointed to the first “Lovers”: “The lover card originated from the story of the Golden Apple, which is also known as the Trojan War. In addition to the literal love, the more accurate explanation of the core card meaning should be “combination.” “It can also be interpreted as choice, cooperation, good relationships, and smooth communication. ”

Then he pointed to the second “Hanged Man”: “I just said that the core card of The Hanged Man is sacrifice, which can be interpreted as accepting trials, encountering difficulties, and endless waiting.”

Finally, he looked at the “Reaper” who was very jealous of everyone, and his face became more solemn: “The core of the Reaper in position is the end, which can give rise to failure, despair, farewell, and a new beginning.”

Chi Nan thought for a while: “The motto of this boarding school is “Death should not exist as a fear, it is the beginning of beauty.” ”

“The Reaper card just fits the school motto…” Tang Yu looked at the disturbing Reaper card, bit his lip very sorry, “Sorry, I drew such a bad card.”

Tong Yu patted his shoulder to comfort: “It’s none of your business. I feel that no matter who draws is these three cards. The rules have been set long ago. The so-called divination is just a form, and more importantly, through these three cards. Know the school rules behind to avoid death.”

That’s how it is said, but divination itself has a great influence on people’s emotions. Seeing unknown cards appear, people will unknowingly give themselves negative hints. Fear and anxiety are also multiplied, and in people and people The infection spread rapidly between.

“According to Tang Yu’s interpretation of the card, the positive lover card means combination and choice, can it be understood as a partner in the prom,” Chi Nan looked at the naked men and women on the card, “It means, let us choose the right one. Partner for the prom.”

Tang Yu was inspired by Chi Nan, and he immediately opened his mind: “Then the next upside down man can be understood as a group of partners participating in the dance party must make sacrifices to meet the next test!”

Chi Nan nodded: “The last upright Death card may very well imply the result of sacrifice…”

He paused, “It’s death.”

The classroom fell into deathly silence, and everyone breathed lightly at the same time. After all, no one wanted to be the sacrificed dance partner.

Tong Yu calmly summed it up: “So the rule of the dance party tonight is that we must find our own dancing partners, and the two dancing people must sacrifice one of them, right?”

Shu Yanfan counted the remaining people: “There are ten people left, exactly five girls and five boys, so you can make up five groups…”

Chi Nan glanced at Tang Yu, whose expression changed slightly: “There are six girls and four boys, and there should be no gender restrictions on the dance partners.”

“I’m sorry,” Shu Yanfan looked at Tang Yu and apologized, and continued, “But even so, no one wants to die…”

Her voice became lower and lower, and she wandered towards everyone.

The remaining ten of them are Zhao Congnan of 202, Shu Yanfan and Liang Han of 204, Jiang Liang of 205, Yen Zimo and Tao Le of 206, Tong Yu and Guo Yaoyao of 207, Tang Yu of 209, and Chi of 210. South.

Although there was a tacit understanding of supporting each other in the past six days, everyone was strangers who met in the nightmare dungeon, and no one wanted to sacrifice their lives for those who had known each other for six days.

It is also a silence that makes people at a loss what to do.

“I don’t want to die. It will be on the 29th after 12 o’clock. Maybe my birthday is a turning point…” Liang Han suddenly whimpered, the fear of death for days and the fatal blow that seems to have no bargaining right now. , Her emotions broke down instantly, “It’s the last night, I really don’t want to die…”

Guo Yaoyao was also infected so much that she kept wiping tears: “Hey, who wants to…”

Chi Nan was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to the female teacher who observed them without saying a word: “Excuse me, what are the conditions for participating in the prom tonight?”

The female teacher twisted her neck stiffly: “As long as you are a freshman in this school, you can participate in the prom.”

Chi Nan: “Can students who have passed away also participate?”

He remembered that the female teacher emphasized in the morning class that death is not the end, and the souls of all students will stay in the boarding school forever, giving good luck and shelter to the surviving classmates.

The female teacher’s gray eyes finally lit up: “Of course, they are also one of us.”

Chi Nan asked again: “We can invite classmates who have passed away to dance, right?”

The female teacher fixedly looked at him, cracked her blood-red lips and smiled without answering. For a moment, she pulled out ten small rectangular boxes from behind the podium, and opened one of them to show everyone: “Each box has red and white. Bell flowers, after you decide your favorite dance partner, you can give one of them to each other, which is equivalent to inviting each other to enter the dance floor.”

Tong Yu: “Does the red and white have any different meanings?”

The female teacher smiled secretly: “If the teacher gives you the answer directly, you won’t be able to solve the problem by yourself, right?”

Tang Yu came to understand early: “White bell flowers symbolize death and funerals. They should be used to invite the deceased to be used as dancing partners. In contrast, red bell flowers are used to invite living people.”

Chi Nan confirmed with the teacher: “Can you invite the same sex?”

Female teacher: “Of course you can.”

“Wait a minute, what are you talking about…”

A few newcomers with slow brains behind are in the clouds. They don’t understand why Chi Nan and Tang Yu suddenly mentioned their dead classmates. Aren’t they still discussing who would make sacrifices?

Tang Yu explained: “According to the Tarot card instructions, one of the partners in each group participating in the dance tonight must use death as the price in exchange for the life of the partner, which means that the two dancing must die for a lifetime.”

Everyone here still understands, nodding all together.

Tang Yu continued: “If when choosing a partner, our survivors directly invite people who have died as dancing partners, it is equivalent to avoiding the “sacrifice” link and directly achieving the result of one death in a lifetime. Can live to the end. ”

“Chi Nan also confirmed with the teacher just now that students who have passed away can be invited to the dance party, so this method is definitely feasible.”

This is the best solution they can think of, but…

Tang Yu’s complexion did not turn clear: “But there is still a problem with this. The teacher said that those who participate in the dance must be fresh graduates. We still have ten dream visitors left, but there are only nine souls that can choose…”

His voice gradually lowered. The best way does not mean avoiding death completely…

“There is still a dream tourist among us who does not have a dancing partner.” Tong Yu bluntly finished half of Tang Yu’s words.

“Ah, this…” The people who had rekindled hope were again in tension and embarrassment.

Tonight is too special. It may be their last night in boarding school. If they can survive this ball, their chances of survival will increase significantly.

The eve of February 29th is very important to everyone.

Just sacrifice one more person… Finally sacrifice one person…

Chi Nan broke the disturbing silence: “I already have my own dance partner. He is not among the nine classmates who have passed away, so the number is just right.”

He was sure and calm, and it didn’t seem to be a whim.

Chi Nan remembers saying that dream-makers do not belong to living people, so 229 is also part of the “dead” part of this world.

“Chi Nan, you…” Tang Yu looked over worriedly. Although he knew that Chi Nan was not a type of blind sacrifice for the collective, he couldn’t figure out what his plan was and whether it would be dangerous.

Chi Nan blinked and stared at the white bell flowers blooming in the box dreamily: “It doesn’t matter, I must invite him to be a dance partner.”

After class, the remaining nine dream visitors took their own bellflowers, followed the plan stated in the class to the cemetery behind the school building, put the bellflowers in their hands in front of the corresponding tombstones, and invited the dead sleepwalking The human soul serves as a dance partner tonight.

Chi Nan took his little white flower and walked to the school infirmary.

“Brother Nan, as long as I stay in this nightmare, I can receive the little white flowers from you every day?” The doctor took the flower that Chi Nan handed him and put it to his nose and sniffed it.

Chi Nan thought for a while. It seemed that he couldn’t send Xiaobaihua to other places except the school infirmary, so he nodded seriously.

The doctor smiled.

Chi Nan: “But today this white bell flower has a different meaning.”

“I know, you want to invite me to be your dance partner tonight, right?” The doctor’s voice sounded soft and patient, as if it was him who invited him, and it was him who was waiting for the other party to nod and agree.

Chi Nan looked at him fixedly: “Can you?”

What he confirmed was not only the other party’s wishes, but also the equivalent of confirming whether 229 really belonged to the “dead person.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t bring you any danger,” the doctor’s eyes were bent, and he answered very affirmatively, which was the final answer to Chi Nan.

After a pause, he smiled and said, “It’s not the first time we are each other’s dance partners.”

Chi Nan subconsciously looked at the doctor’s pocket, looking for the trace of the pocket watch.

If the dreamer is a dead person, the pocket watch should have a birthmark of 229.
