Welcome to the Nightmare Game
Chapter 120: The Dream of the Holy Nun (X)
When walking on the dark steps looking for the bathroom, Qi Leren still thought about this question: Why did he feel flustered?
He reasoned that it was due to unpredictability. If he had to give an answer, it was probably that no matter which side he went to first, the other side would have a feeling of being ignored.
At this moment, Qi Leren suddenly remembered a picture.
When he was still a junior high school student, a friend of his had accidentally recommended a bad gal game* for him to play. When the protagonist he played as had hesitated between the white rose childhood sweetheart and the red rose heiress, the two had appeared at the same time and both tenderly and proudly invited him to attend a party as their date. No matter which one he chose, the goodwill of the other party would go crazy, which had scared the still junior high school aged Qi Leren to quickly save in order to lessen the pressure.
*{E/N: dating sim aimed at a male audience}
Although the game picture in his memory had been blurred, the confused mood at that moment was clearly printed in Qi Leren’s mind and he actually felt that there was a subtle similarity with the present scene, which made his hair raise.
There was a short light laugh in the dark, and the contemplative Qi Leren’s hair exploded. He clasped the dagger and lowered his voice and asked, “Who’s there?!”
There was a dead silence.
At this time, he was standing on the stairs of the castle, close to the top floor. There were a few kerosene lamps scattered on both sides of the mottled stone wall, shaking slightly in the wind that poured down from above the stairs.
In the extreme silence, Qi Leren heard the sound of himself swallowing and the ba-bump ba-bump of his heartbeat.
Just now, the laughter had been very short and light, which seemed to be the voice of a young girl, but it disappeared quickly. Qi Leren wondered if it was only the creaking sound of the wind blowing open the doors and windows.
He was as calm as possible and examined his own situation.
Tonight was not the new moon. This was the relatively safe castle of the Lord. His skills were ready to be activated. The task had just started. Although the present situation was slightly strange, it shouldn’t kill him. It should be a clue.
Qi Leren took a deep breath and walked up slowly against the wall. He walked for almost half a minute just to climb the dozen stairs.
Above the stairs was an open terrace, which overlooked the night view of the whole Holy City. The entrance of the terrace was three or four meters wide, decorated with white stone pillars on both sides. The ground was covered with smooth stone, which reflected the light of the moon.
The curtains hanging on the terrace were light and dancing in the wind, and the moonlight and the shadow of the curtains intertwined, as graceful as a dancer’s skirt but cold and empty under the moonlight. However, the beautiful scenery in front of him did not relax Qi Leren at all. He stared at the shadow of the colonnade.
Accurately speaking, it should be hidden behind the colonnade, but it was exposed by the moonlight as a figure in a skirt.
Unblinkingly, Qi Leren’s eyes stared at the pillar. Looking carefully, there was a hand on the pillar hidden by the flowing curtain, like a person was hiding behind the stone pillar but was stretching out their hand to hug it.
The hand was small, the fingers on the pillar were thin, and with the height of the hand, it was obviously a child.
It should be a little girl. He was afraid that it was the little girl they met in the fog when they had walked into the Holy City. He remembered that she had golden hair, which was as bright as sunlight even in the thick fog.
And now, this strange little girl was hiding behind the pillar.
Cold wind poured in from the terrace, cooling Qi Leren’s entire body. He didn’t know whether the little girl in front of him was a human being or a ghost… It should not be a ghost at least, since she had a shadow.
Did she want him to go there? If he saved here now, it wouldn’t take more than a few seconds to walk…
The little girl behind the pillar let out a laugh again, her fingers holding onto the pillar moving. A gust of wind blew, and a few strands of her hair were blown by the wind. The white gauze curtain also floated high with it, revealing the color of the girl’s hair behind the gauze curtain. Even in such a cold moonlight, her hair was still the colour of gold.
She moved.
The wind came to an abrupt end, and the floating curtains fell silently, blocking her face. Qi Leren could only see her shadow projected on the gauze curtain in the pale moonlight. She came out from behind the colonnade, took her little skirt, and stepped forward and came towards him!
"Let’s dream together,” the sweet voice of the little girl sounded in the dark.
Qi Leren’s eyes widened, and his already tight nerves were almost broken. Stiffness spread from his feet, and he was paralyzed and couldn’t move. At this moment, he seemed to be the young man who ventured on the night of the new moon, and heard a knock on the door that could not exist in the dark…
She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming!
“Qi Leren, what are you doing up there?”
Dr. Lu’s voice came from under the stairs. He ran up the stairs, and Qi Leren shouted in a hurry: “Don’t come over!”
Dr. Lu, who was running up the stairs, suddenly stopped, but stopped too fast and his center of gravity was unstable, so he rolled down the stairs with a whoop of “ouch!” He heard a tumbling sound that made his own skin hurt, and Dr. Lu lied under the stairs and screamed.
While Qi Leren was distracted, the shadow behind the curtain disappeared quickly, and the silent moonlight spread on the marble ground, quiet and serene. The strange little girl seemed now to have been a phantom, coming and going without a trace.
Qi Le strode onto the terrace and tore back the curtain. When the curtain stopped, something like a butterfly or a moth fluttered out and flew in front of his eyes before going away toward the night sky, with the moonlight shining brightly on the marble of the terrace. The pillars were empty. He pondered for a moment, and turned and walked down the stairs to check on Dr. Lu.
“Ow ow ow ow! I’m dying! I’m dying! Don’t pull me, I’ll give myself treatment first!” Dr. Lu, who had fallen to the bottom of the stairs, refused Qi Leren’s help and used “Doctor’s Orders” for himself. Only then did he slow down and hold the wall, standing up resentfully. “You shouted so loudly that thought you were doing something gross, which scared me so much that my feet gave out and I rolled down…”
Qi Leren was worried and helped him in the direction of the library: “There was a strange situation just now… You might have been in danger when you came up. Let’s go back and talk.”
Back in the library, Qi Leren told Ning Zhou and Su He what they had just discovered: “…Although it’s not clear who it is, I am basically sure that she’s the same person as the little girl we met when we crossed the fog. I saw golden hair, but I didn’t see her face.”
“It seems to be a key role,” Su He said confidently.
“…A little familiar,” Ning Zhou suddenly said.
All three looked at him, and Ning Zhou frowned and said, “That little girl gave me a strange feeling.”
“Does she have demonic energy or pious energy?” Qi Leren asked.
Ning Zhou and Su He shook their heads at the same time: “I can’t feel it.”
There were no more clues, so the four people had to forget about it for the time being and prepare to go around the Holy City to investigate the next day. It was the night of the new moon in three days, leaving them with little time to collect clues.
Late at night, the group of people stayed in the castle under the Lord’s arrangement. To be on the safe side, they didn’t want single rooms, but rooms for two people. Of course, they still had separate beds. There was a slight delay in dividing rooms. Because of a subtle atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words, Qi Leren wanted to stay with Dr. Lu, but Dr. Lu jumped out of his chair like he’d burned his ass and refused sternly on the grounds that two chickens could not be placed in the same room, otherwise they would be caught by the gang.
“Then I’ll share a room with Qi Leren,” Su He suggested naturally.
Dr. Lu looked bitter and said, “Is it not better for us to share a room? Leren and Ning Zhou are familiar, and they’re very good together.”
He didn’t want to share a room with his best friend’s “cohabiting friend”, 10,000% didn’t want to, so he sent a wave of crucial assists at the crucial moment.
So, the matter of dividing the room was finally decided. As a maid led them to their room, Qi Leren watched Ning Zhou’s back as he walked in front of him, and the nerves caused by the mysterious little girl seemed to relax.
There should be no more nightmares tonight, he thought.

She tilted her head slowly, slowly, her head sticking out from behind the pillar, more hair exposed, then her small ears, her face…The wind came to an abrupt end, and the floating curtains fell silently, blocking her face.
