The electronics X Beijin whispers, but then clarifies, or rather, smart electronics.
After the Nightmare restarted, X Beijin is again sitting inside his bookstore. The scene that just played out in the stream still has him sowhat shaken, and the viewers are still screaming in terror.
A bathtub that killed soone? Who could have guessed that the furniture could turn into sentient killing machines?
Recalling the odd behaviour from all the Missiontakers earlier, X Beijin finds himself now able to understand them better.
Jiang Shuangjie and her stand-off with the curtain that wouldnt be let down;
Shen Ynj and his stand-off with the peephole he covered with his hands;
The thin Missiontaker and his stand-off with the toilet;
Jiang Shuangi, and her killers, the Roomba and the bathtub
Also, the phrase Dai Wu told him, watch out behind you.
The Missiontakers are all inside their hos. What could be behind them? The answer is their ho. The furniture, inside of their hos.
The Missiontakers could likely have never expected that the normal furniture would suddenly co alive and treat them with cold, malicious, hateful or spiteful gazes, staring at their backs.
Even the most positive emotions, the one Jiang Shuangjie experienced, amounted to cold disinterest.
The furniture that have co to life all seems to hold deeply adversarial feelings to the humans. In fact, the furniture in Jiang Shuangis apartnt unit even wanted her dead.
Though it isnt completely illogical.
Never mind things like curtains, but a toilet Try putting yourself in its shoes. It would seem inevitable that toilets hate humans.
In the stream, the viewers have all managed to connect the dots with X Beijins hint, and are now positively terrified.
uwuwu ima hug my doll tight
your doll is also sentient now [cute emoji], itll pat on your little face when youre asleep [cute emoji]
stop scaring !!!
i, uh, um, oh im sitting on the toilet right now
man, raise your toilet brush high! we wont laugh, promise [doge emoji]
youre watching the stream on your phone??? careful now
have u raised today?(TL: A joke on theYakultadvertisents in theSinosphere, with the catchphrase have you drunk Yakult today?)
raising, raising, thx
no but why are these furniture coming to life? can I wish for my bed to turn sentient and be my boyfriend?
more likely, ur bed has had enough of u snorting on him, and decides to smother u to death with the blankets and the mattress in the middle of the night
shit, co on
oh no, with the detective dalao gone, the only serious person left behind is Beibei now
X Beijin
He sighs.
Once, he thought he could obtain information on the outside world through these viewers, and was even once extrely wary, feeling like he might be a marionette dancing to these viewers whims.
He might be so sort of experint lying in those nutrient pods, and theyre the researchers or whatever.
As for right now
Ha. Ha.
If researchers these days just amount to jumpy viewers who chat away happily on so streaming platforms, then he, X Beijin, must already be so advanced senior researcher!
X Beijin is feeling slightly helpless.
anwhile, with the Nightmare restarted, the stream shows the Missiontakers trying the door imdiately againAnd fail just like last ti.
This ans they may have to wait for a whole hour before they can leave the apartnt. This makes all the Missiontakers, who have obtained exactly zero clues the last run, incredibly nervous.
And outside of Jiang Shuangi herself, and also the host of the stream and the viewers, the Missiontakers have no idea how the Nightmare restarted, or what the danger really was.
They only know for certain, that soone has died.
However, because the death occurred over an hour into the Nightmare, in other words, after the door opens to let them leave the apartnt unit, so did that death occur outside of an apartnt unit? Was that person even in the apartnt complex?
Everything remains unknown. Despite their heightened attention and wariness, though, whether the mystified Missiontakers are able to realise that it is the furniture within the apartnt unit that wants them dead is really up in the air.
So may be suspecting so, but there is no evidence at all.
It took X Beijin watching the whole process of Jiang Shuangi dying that he could definitively confirm that there is a problem with the furniture in these apartnt units. However, how will the Missiontakers trapped within ever discover so?
At least, watching everyones actions in the stream at once, it looks like nobody has worked out the problem with the furniture in general yet.
There is even sooneOk, its Thin,thatMissiontaker. Hes visiting the loo again.
X Beijin wishes him luck.
Not that a toilet can really kill Can it?
Still, it might be a mutually assured assault if a human really ever goes against a sentient toilet
The most restless of the Missiontakers here is probably Jiang Shuangjie. In the last run of the Nightmare, she t with the muscular Missiontaker and exchanged information.
The man said he also appeared in the apartnt unit right in the beginning and noticed the gazes as well. The commonality sends Jiang Shuangjie into thought.
She also shared her own experience, but soon enough, the Nightmare restarted.
While there was information, but Jiang Shuangjie is more focusing on her younger sister. After that inexplicable gripping feeling in her chest, she cant help but suspect whether it was her own sisters death that triggered the restart of the Nightmare.
Desperate, she tries all the ways possible of leaving the door, but fails.
Damn it! She cusses, why did we have to be in different units in the apartnt wait!
Apartnt?
She suddenly turns around to examine the unit again. Just as her sudden spark of inspiration says, this resembles an apartnt hotel, more than so residence. Its furnished lavishly but devoid of personality.
During their short eting with the muscular man, she caught a glimpse of the apartnt unit of the man through the door before it was shut. She is certain they were identical.
And if this is really an apartnt hotel
She murmurs, there must be security on the ground floor Maybe managent is also there, with records of occupancy
Its a guess, a guess based on common sense back on Earth. She does not know whether this Nightmare does conform to her speculations Nightmares are illogical, after all.
Even if there are records, whether it would have changed to fit with the Missiontakers appearing is another problem.
She has no better idea either, though. She cant just go check every single room, now.
She pushed on 4 in the elevator earlier without deliberation. She thought the Nightmare was finally beginning when the door opened, but who couldve known that soon after leaving, the Nightmare just restarted?
She believes the rest of the Missiontakers would have concluded the sa. Therefore, they must also try to work out general information on the apartnt while looking for other Missiontakers.
Given how quickly the first run ended, it ans the apartnt must have so sort of innate danger within. It is a driving force to ensure Missiontakers assemble quickly and exchange information.
If so
Jiang Shuangjie, after deliberation, decides to imdiately head to the ground floor after leaving her apartnt unit without stopping anywhere.
One, she could look for occupancy records, and two, to look for Missiontakers who would also head down to look for each other.
Now Jiang Shuangjie can only hope that her younger sister could work out that she should head for the first floor to have the maximum chance of running into others
She thinks Shuangshuang should be able to do this much, at least, right?
If Jiang Shuangjie knew, though, that in the first run of the Nightmare, Jiang Shuangi didnt leave the unit, or even know the entrance opened up after an hour passed She would surely reconsider her misplaced confidence.
Yet she didnt know.
