Infinite horror begins with Death Comes

Chapter 17 Puzzled
"No, I can't speak." Zhang Jie still shook his head.

"Then let me guess. If I guess right, nod your head. If I guess wrong, shake your head." Xuanzhen saw Zhang Jie nodded, and his mind began to work, from the first day he met Zhang Jie to now.

"You can't go back to reality." Zhang Jie nodded. Xuan Zhen just confirmed this point, and he still had to guess slowly. He only had the intelligence of a mortal. IQ only improved his memory and thinking speed, but did not improve his wisdom.

"You are dying, a death that the Lord God cannot heal. But it is not due to illness. This kind of death is irreversible and is related to the Lord God." Xuan Zhen touched his chin and paced slowly, and Zhang Jie nodded.

"Brother Jie, tell me about your first horror movie. In A Nightmare on Elm Street, you said the scar on your face was left by that thing, which means the problem lies with that horror movie." Xuan Zhen couldn't think of anything, so he asked Zhang Jie to talk about something else.

"There's nothing special in that horror movie. It's just that a lot of people died in their dreams, and I'm no exception." Zhang Jie spoke and silenced Xuan Zhen.

Xuanzhen looked at Zhang Jie in front of him. He was flesh and blood and had emotions, but why did he say that he also died in that horror movie? Who was standing in front of him now? Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street?

"I am still me, I am Zhang Jie, but Zhang Jie is not me." Zhang Jie was silent for a while, and then said this, which made Xuan Zhen fall silent.

This is hard to understand. He is Zhang Jie, but Zhang Jie is not him. Zhang Jie died in Nightmare on Elm Street, and he became Zhang Jie. So what is he? What was his identity before he became Zhang Jie? Xuanzhen wants to know more, but Zhang Jie probably can't reveal more.

"Forget it. If you guess it, you may be in danger yourself, the danger from the Lord God." Zhang Jie didn't plan to continue.

"Wait a minute, I might know." Xuan Zhen heard the key words, the danger from the Lord God, why did the Lord God attack him? Because he revealed Zhang Jie's identity, why did the Lord God attack him after revealing Zhang Jie's identity, because Zhang Jie was arranged by the Lord God, if it was arranged by the Lord God, why did the Lord God arrange someone? This is the key information, what does the Lord God do by pulling people from reality in? For fun? Raising Gu? Cultivating strong people? Evolving people? Or is it just a boring game.

"Why does the Lord God want to bring people from our reality into this?" Xuan Zhen didn't intend to guess and asked Zhang Jie directly.

"That's a good question, evolution," Zhang Jie was about to stand up but sat down again.

"Evolution..." Xuanzhen touched his chin. The Lord God mainly wanted people to evolve, so the identity of the person arranged by the Lord God was obvious. It was a novice tutorial. Obviously, if the Lord God was not doing it for fun or boring games, but just wanted people to evolve, then in the absence of old players, it was necessary to arrange a novice instructor. In other words, Zhang Jie died in Nightmare on Elm Street, and the freshman instructor became Zhang Jie, so there was what Zhang Jie said before, he was Zhang Jie, but Zhang Jie was not him, but why did he become Zhang Jie? Possession? Swallowed Zhang Jie's memory and soul, the novice instructor has less memory, so now it is dominated by Zhang Jie's memory?
"Is there a tutorial for beginners?" Xuan Zhen spoke up and asked a question.

"Yes." Zhang Jie answered simply.

"Is there a captain?"

"Have."

"How to become captain?"

"Open the first-order gene lock."

"Do the two seniors in A Nightmare on Elm Street have a captain?"

"No."

Xuan Zhen fell silent. A reincarnation space with 20 people must have a leader. This is the optimal solution for the evolution of the main god. A scattered group fighting on their own cannot last long. Xuan Zhen's guess was right. Then the reincarnation Zhang Jie opened the gene lock in Nightmare on Elm Street, became the captain, and then died? The novice instructor became Zhang Jie? Why can the novice instructor become Zhang Jie?
"What do you think you are?" Xuan Zhen asked a question, a crucial question. "Me?" Zhang Jie fell silent. It was difficult for him to answer this question. He didn't know how to answer it. When the Guide merged with him, he was killed by Freddy who suddenly appeared, and then he became half Guide and half Reincarnation.

"Is it enough to unlock the first-level gene lock to become the captain?" Xuan Zhen wanted to ask in more detail.

"There are still tests to go through." Zhang Jie was now at a loss. If it weren't for Na'er, he might have committed suicide long ago.

"After the test~" Whose test? The test of the novice instructor? Xuanzhen almost understood Zhang Jie's current state.

"What is your test?" Xuan Zhen asked a question casually, but this question made Zhang Jie fall into memories.

"Freddy pulled me into a dream, and my genetic lock was opened in the blink of an eye. Then I completed the test of the guide. When the guide merged with me, Freddy appeared and killed me. I became half reincarnation and half guide." Zhang Jie smoked and squinted his eyes in thought.

"But what about the test? What was the test?" Zhang Jie couldn't remember it at all.

"I don't know, I don't have this memory at all." Zhang Jie was confused and looked at Xuan Zhen with empty eyes.

"You don't know?" Xuan Zhen asked with a higher voice.

"I really don't know. He said I completed the test." Zhang Jie was also confused.

"Did you know about the test before you opened the gene lock or did you know about it after you opened the gene lock?" Xuan Zhen was also confused at this moment. What was going on?
"I'll know after I unlock the gene lock." Zhang Jie answered with certainty.

"When you opened the gene lock, you encountered a death crisis?" Xuanzhen had already sensed something was wrong. He was chased by Freddy in a dream from Nightmare on Elm Street. He opened the gene lock at the critical moment, completed the test, and was then killed by Freddy. What was the test in between? What was the test?
"Is there a possibility? You have not experienced the test at all, or the test has not been passed yet, or you are still in a dream?" Xuan Zhen guessed boldly.

"Impossible, I absolutely cannot be still in a dream now. I have already entered the main god space, how can I still be in a dream?" Zhang Jie denied it three times in a row.

"Besides, I went in later and killed him," Zhang Jie added.

"Have you ever seen Inception? Freddy is like this. Dreams are like onions, layer by layer."

"What about you? Aren't you real? Have you denied yourself? Are you a fictional character in my dream?" Zhang Jie gave the first cigarette to Xuan Zhen. He had never had such a headache before.

"No, what I mean is that you activated the first level of the genetic lock in the first level of the dream, and then were pulled into the second level of the dream by Freddy, and then..." Xuan Zhen was interrupted by Zhang Jie.

"After all this time, you still don't understand what my current state is?" Zhang Jie was so angry that he hit Xuan Zhen with a lighter, but Xuan Zhen didn't dodge.
