I have delusions, and you want me to participate in a ghost story?

Zhou Xiaochuan looked around. The ceiling above was not leaking, there was no moss in the house, and there was no white door on the left and black door on the right at the door.

This place has turned back into my original room, so was all this just a dream?

Zhou Xiaochuan turned on his phone and found that all the apps that had been missing had returned, and the time was exactly six o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Such a real dream...

It must be extraordinary!
Zhou Xiaochuan looked down out the window. Members of the armed department of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau were patrolling everywhere in the Qingshan Mental Hospital, so he felt relieved and recorded what he saw in his dream.

This dream was most likely the reason why Xie Jiaojiao persuaded me to come to Qingshan Mental Hospital. The amount of information it provided was really too much.

It is unprecedented to reveal the contents of the next two ghost stories before they begin.

And the depressing words that I said while lying on the bed...

Zhou Xiaochuan now has a guess that the information given by this dream is very likely given deliberately by the world of ghost stories.

Previously, when it came to Bus No. 44, it was hinted that the next ghost story copy would be Ward 444, and Ward 444 looked extremely similar to Aoyama Mental Hospital. Aoyama Mental Hospital was considered to be the prototype of Ward 444 in the real world.

This is already leading me to go to Qingshan Mental Hospital for investigation.

Later, the same thing happened again in Qingshan Mental Hospital.

It can be seen that it is very likely that the world of ghost stories deliberately revealed this information to themselves before the ghost stories began!

However, this is not a good thing, because it probably means that the next ghost story and the next ghost story, these two connected ghost stories, will be particularly difficult!
This is why the world of ghost stories gives hints before the ghost stories begin!

If I don't give a hint before starting, there will be no chance of survival.

It’s not that the world of ghost stories wants Zhou Xiaochuan to live, but the principle of the world of ghost stories is that there will not be a situation where death is inevitable.

It’s just that how to control it so as not to lead to a situation where death is inevitable is more flexible.

For example, when they were at the Datong Hotel, it was clearly stated that it was a multiplayer instance, but the other people were all disguised in strange ways. If it weren't for Jiang Liangjin's forced intervention, Zhou Xiaochuan felt that he would most likely have faced a situation where he was doomed to die.

It was originally the obligation of the Ghost Story World to control the difficulty of the Ghost Story so as not to lead to a situation where death is inevitable. However, the Ghost Story World achieved this through the intervention of Jiang Liangjin. In the end, although Zhou Xiaochuan himself successfully passed the Ghost Story, Jiang Liangjin was also greatly hurt.

The reason why this prompt appears before the ghost story begins is probably because of this.

While thinking, Zhou Xiaochuan sent what he saw in his dream to the director of the Strange Stories Handling Bureau and several staff members of the Bureau.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiaochuan ordered five members of the armed department of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau to move the bed to his room.

This single room for one person was changed into a room for six, so that if something similar happens again tonight, there will be someone to take care of them.

After Zhou Xiaochuan sent the message, he soon received a reply from the expert group of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau headquarters.

The information provided by the experts is even more of a huge bomb.

Some of the analyses given by the expert group of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau are almost the same as Zhou Xiaochuan's own analysis.

The really heavyweight news is that not only Zhou Xiaochuan, but also the chosen ones from other countries encountered the same situation as Zhou Xiaochuan when they reached the last place reached by bus No. 44!

When they were on bus No. 44, the stops for the chosen ones from different countries were not the same, so when they returned to the real world, they went to different prototype locations.

However, in the current situation where there is a lack of trust between the ghost story handling bureaus of various countries, the headquarters has no way of obtaining the information obtained by the players from various countries. However, some information was still exchanged for benefits.

For the chosen ones from other countries, their next ghost story will most likely be the last stop of bus No. 44, and they will also participate in two ghost stories in a row!

And [Death is not the end, the World Tree hides all the truth]. The chosen ones from other countries also received this sentence!
"So it seems that after everyone passes this instance, the next instance will most likely be the singer instance related to the World Tree?"

Zhou Xiaochuan inferred.

After a while, another message popped up on Zhou Xiaochuan's phone.

It was also sent to him by the expert group of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau.

[Xiaochuan, we have already found the information of the user "Real World I'm Here" on the "End Point Chinese Website" that you asked us to investigate. However, his real location is the Lighthouse Country, and he is most likely a master of hacking technology.

After we found this person's information, the person who investigated him had an awkward smile and cry expression on his computer screen! We have explained this to the Lighthouse Country and hope they can cooperate. After all, clearing the ghost story is a major event for all mankind.

However, you have to be prepared for their unwillingness to cooperate, as we can't do anything about it. 】

The user who gave a reward to Shen Weichen's novel "I have paranoia, you want me to participate in a strange story?" on the "End Chinese Website" was actually from the Lighthouse Country?
It’s the beacon country again!
Zhou Xiaochuan narrowed his eyes. On Bus No. 44, he could find out the way and specific information of all other Chosen Ones, but only Hanyu Lian, the Chosen One from the Lighthouse Country, had no information at all!

Now, the user who is giving rewards to the Golden Alliance, whose username is "I'm here in the real world", is actually from the Beacon Country.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Zhou Xiaochuan paid attention and when he looked at the personal homepage of "I'm Coming to the Real World" again, he found that he had added a new signature!
This signature was not there yesterday.

【Death is not the end, the world tree hides all the truths [awkward smiley face]. 】

This sentence again?
And the expression at the end is full of mockery and sarcasm.

Zhou Xiaochuan touched his chin and immediately made a video call to Shen Weichen.

It was only half past six in the morning. Shen Weichen, who answered the phone, was wearing pajamas and a nightcap. He was sleepy and looked haggard. It seemed that he was woken up by the phone call before he woke up.

She didn't even open her eyes, but just said impatiently: "Who is it? What's the matter? Can't we talk about it later? Everyone is sleeping so early, forget it, just make it short."

"It's me, Zhou Xiaochuan."

As soon as Zhou Xiaochuan said this, Shen Weichen immediately became alert. She immediately opened her eyes, trembled all over, stood up straight, and immediately saluted Zhou Xiaochuan.

"Deputy Director Chuan, if you have any instructions, just let me know!"

When Zhou Xiaochuan returned, he was awarded the position of honorary deputy director, and the Chosen One, Electric Baton Brother Hou Guoyu, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, was also awarded the position of honorary deputy director.

Shen Weichen originally admired Zhou Xiaochuan for his performance in the world of ghost stories. Now that Zhou Xiaochuan has become her immediate superior, there is a bit of fear in her admiration.

This is due to Shen Weichen's personality.

She wanted to die now. Why didn't she open her eyes to take a look? Why was she so lazy to say such a thing to Zhou Xiaochuan? However, Zhou Xiaochuan just waved his hand: "Xiao Shen, you should just call me Brother Chuan. Don't be so formal or nervous. I called you this time because I want your help with something."

Shen Weichen blinked twice, then his body straightened even more, and he didn't put down his hand in salute.

"Brother Chuan, if you have any instructions, I will do my best to carry them out! I will also help you complete them with all my strength!"

Zhou Xiaochuan said: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Can you post a single chapter of your novel "I have paranoia, and you want me to participate in a weird talk?", or set up a book club to get the information of one of your readers.

That reader is your golden leader "I'm in the real world". He is very likely related to the missing Wang Yucong, but he seems to be a hacker expert and a native of Lighthouse Country. The bureau can't do anything about him, so they have to ask you for help. "

Shen Weichen nodded and agreed.

Originally, she thought it would be a very troublesome task. Although she agreed to it without hesitation, she still had some resistance in her heart.

I didn't expect it to be such a simple thing.

Moreover, helping Zhou Xiaochuan do this can also improve his impression points in his heart. This is really a great job!
Shen Weichen's favorable impression of Zhou Xiaochuan increased a lot.

……

Zhou Xiaochuan put away his phone.

To be honest, he didn't think that this would be enough to hook this guy out and establish communication with him.

But it's always better than nothing, better than doing nothing.

He stretched, read the latest news, had breakfast, and then lay down on the bed for another nap.

The experience the night before, although a dream, was too real and consumed a lot of my energy.

Afterwards, he explored the Qingshan Mental Hospital and did some physical training at the sports field behind the hospital to ensure that his body was in peak condition when he entered the ghost story.

If there are words, it will be long; if there are no words, it will be short.

It was nine o'clock in the evening again. Zhou Xiaochuan lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and prepared to go to sleep.

I wonder if something will happen tonight? Will the world of ghost stories give him new clues?
Will there be new dreams?
To be honest, Zhou Xiaochuan is still quite looking forward to it.

After all, in yesterday's dream, I didn't see what was behind the so-called "Gate of the Gods".

And I don’t know what will happen if I stay in that room forever if I don’t open the Gate of the Gods.

Zhou Xiaochuan's intuition told him that maybe standing in front of the "Gate of the Gods" and touching the Gate of the Gods was the way to survive in the dream.

The atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly gloomy.

This is a sign that something strange is about to happen!

And if Zhou Xiaochuan encountered something strange in such a small, enclosed space that he could not leave, he would most likely die here!

However, this time, besides Zhou Xiaochuan himself, there were five elite armed forces from the Ghost Story Handling Bureau in his room, so they could take care of each other.

It must be said that even though five beds were moved into this ward, sleeping in it was still extremely comfortable, much more comfortable than the four-person room he had lived in at university in his previous life.

As he was thinking, Zhou Xiaochuan felt sleepy unknowingly, and then he fell asleep.

It's sleep, not dreaming.

Zhou Xiaochuan had a good sleep tonight without any dreams.

When I woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

I opened my phone and saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning!
And no new clues, not even a dream?

In this room, the other members of the armed department of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau seemed to have gotten up early, put on their clothes, and were waiting for Zhou Xiaochuan's next instructions.

"Did you feel anything strange happening last night?"

Last night, according to his method of entering dreams to get clues, Zhou Xiaochuan asked the armed forces members of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau to put on their clothes and lie down on the bed to sleep.

As for the guard work, it was left to other armed forces members outside the door.

At the same time, Zhou Xiaochuan installed surveillance cameras in this room yesterday morning in order to see clearly what happened last night.

"Report to the Deputy Director! Everything was normal last night, and we... slept soundly!"

Is this no hint?
Zhou Xiaochuan went to the security room again, checked the surveillance footage, and found that indeed nothing had happened last night.

Everyone slept soundly.

And the one who sleeps the best is yourself.

He was actually grinding his teeth and snoring while sleeping!

In such a noisy environment, these members of the armed department of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau can actually sleep so peacefully.

Professionals are indeed different!
However, could it be because of their presence in the room that I did not enter the dream and did not receive any new clues?

Because on the first night, I was the only one in the room!

So Zhou Xiaochuan ordered the five members of the armed department of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau who had just moved their beds in yesterday to move the beds back.

Let’s try to see if I can enter the dreamland when I’m alone!
However, the result is no!
It has nothing to do with how many people are in the room. You can only enter the dream once and get the hint once.

After waking up on the third day, Zhou Xiaochuan packed his luggage, got on a helicopter, and, under the escort of members of the armed department of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau, returned to the headquarters of the Ghost Story Handling Bureau in the underwater town.

In the past three days, apart from the dream and Wang Yucong's letter, nothing was found in the mental hospital. Waiting any longer would yield no results.

Moreover, the ghost story will begin in two days!

During these two days, Zhou Xiaochuan needs to adjust his physical and mental state to the best condition!
PS: Tomorrow we will start a new chapter of New Strange Stories, so stay tuned. (End of this chapter)
