Chapter 62 Taking Control Again
Chapter 62 Taking Control Again
Having learned from the experience of the first mission, Li Jiuhe knew very well that no one here was in danger before dark, so there was nothing to worry about for the time being.
After waiting a moment, once the real Chen Zhenghai arrived in the dream, Li Jiuhe immediately went to the side with him and told him what she knew.
Chen Zhenghai was somewhat surprised, not expecting Li Jiuhe to be so efficient, having learned so much in such a short time.
Not only did they learn about these people's experiences before they came here, but they also immediately recognized the imposter.
This information includes the fact that Liu Jiaqi is someone's mistress, while the other three people seem to have no suspicious points.
The most suspicious thing is the dormouse that the little boy Zhao Yuanhang is holding in his arms.
"This is indeed a dormice." Chen Zhenghai glanced at the little mouse that was fast asleep in the pet cage without making a sound.
He then briefly spoke with these people to confirm that the information provided by Li Jiuhe was correct.
Before dark, Chen Zhenghai took out the "key" and locked the living room door from the inside.
Li Jiuhe directly told the middle-aged man, "If you hear a voice that sounds like your son asking you for help, ignore it. It's the eerie one pretending, just like the one that pretended to be my friend earlier."
The middle-aged man looked terrified, then nodded with a hint of disbelief.
At this moment, Liu Jiaqi was still the first to hear the knocking on the door outside the corridor, and she immediately whispered a reminder to everyone.
No one else dared to move or speak, but Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai walked to the corner of the wall and whispered to each other.
"Is it now certain that the Nightmare is the Dormouse that Zhao Yuanhang is holding?" Chen Zhenghai asked.
Li Jiuhe nodded first, then shook his head: "The probability of it being a dormice is very high, because the timing of the nightmare incident coincides with the time this dormice arrived at the Zhao family, and the fact that sleeping creates nightmares matches the characteristics of a dormice. But I suggest we also investigate Liu Jiaqi!"
"Liu Jiaqi?" Chen Zhenghai was surprised.
"Yes."
Before the mission was reset, Li Jiuhe witnessed the dormouse crawl into Liu Jiaqi's mouth.
This scene was extremely strange. He certainly wouldn't believe it if you said that this dormouse had nothing to do with Liu Jiaqi.
However, all he could do now was summarize the suspicious points he had discovered: "Liu Jiaqi was the first among these people to arrive in the shared dream, and she was the one who told the others about the rules of this dream. Also, did you hear the knocking on the door outside the corridor just now, if she hadn't mentioned it?"
Chen Zhenghai shook his head.
He hadn't heard it until Liu Jiaqi said the skin-peeling man had started knocking on the door, and everyone kept quiet. Only then did he vaguely hear the knocking.
After a moment's thought, Chen Zhenghai said, "Now that we've confirmed that both the dormouse and Liu Jiaqi are suspicious, we can start locking onto them in the real world."
Li Jiuhe nodded: "Team Leader Chen, I just tried it, and it's extremely difficult to wake up on your own and leave this nightmare. But you should have a way. You can try to exit now, otherwise it might be even more difficult to exit after the skin-shedding man arrives."
Chen Zhenghai nodded and immediately grasped the key in his hand, wanting to unlock the consciousness layer that was trapped here.
After trying it, he found it to be extremely difficult.
If even he found it extremely difficult, then it was even less likely that Li Jiuhe would wake up on his own.
Therefore, Chen Zhenghai immediately devoted himself to breaking through the consciousness level here, gripping the key tightly in his hand.
Just then, the dormouse, which had been fast asleep in its cage, suddenly opened its eyes, its bright gaze quickly scanning the surroundings before settling on Chen Zhenghai.
That was all; it didn't do anything more.
If Li Jiuhe hadn't suspected the dormice beforehand, no one would have known it had woken up.
The skin-shedding man, who had been knocking on the doors of the rooms at the front of the corridor, suddenly seemed to be summoned by something, stopped knocking and rushed to the door of the room in front of him.
The next second, the door slammed shut, and the guy stopped pretending and started banging on the door.
Chen Zhenghai was at the crucial moment of waking up. His body was stiff, his eyelids were trembling rapidly, and he had no time to pay attention to anything.
Li Jiuhe immediately went to the side of the elderly man in the wheelchair and Zhao Yuanhang, pretending not to look at the awakened dormice, and then waved to the middle-aged man and Liu Jiaqi.
"Everyone come over here!"
"What happened to your friend?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously as he approached.
Liu Jiaqi quickly stood beside Zhao Yuanhang, her face filled with terror.
Li Jiuhe said, "My friend is fine, you all take care of yourselves first. Later, someone might pretend to be your relative and call you by name, but not just by name, but by all sorts of familiar terms. Remember, whatever you do, don't respond! Don't even look at them!"
After saying that, he turned and rushed into the bedroom.
The sound of banging on the door had stopped. It was clear that Chen Zhenghai's key was very useful, as it had blocked the main passage into the house, preventing the skin-peeling men outside from entering.
Li Jiuhe had already entered the bedroom and quickly pulled down the huge wardrobe, causing one side of the wardrobe door to fall to the ground.
Then he hooked his hands around the edge of the bed, pulled hard, lifted the entire bed up, quickly took a few steps back, and let go, pressing the bed down on top of the wardrobe.
Just as I finished doing all that, the wardrobe suddenly shook, as if something inside was trying to open the door, but the door was firmly pressed down.
Li Jiuhe stopped looking closely, returned to the living room, and closed the bedroom door as well.
The moment the door closed, a familiar voice came from the bedroom behind me: "Dad, Dad, why did you lock me in my room?"
This is Li Yi's voice.
Li Jiuhe paused slightly, but ignored him.
Almost at the same moment, the wardrobe in the bedroom made a loud noise, as if the wooden planks had broken, but it was still firmly held down by the heavier bed on top.
Li Jiuhe dragged the sofa next to him over to block the bedroom door, and then piled all the furniture, such as the coffee table, on the sofa to increase its weight.
At this moment, the living room was unusually noisy. In fact, no one was speaking, but a large number of sounds were constantly being heard.
"Dad, Dad, save me!" This was the voice of Tian Hui, the middle-aged man's son.
"Child, are you hungry? If you are, come and eat. Look back, this is the minced meat and egg custard I made for you." Zhao Yuanhang's grandmother's voice rang out behind him.
"Old man, why are you abandoning me?" came the voice of an old woman from behind the wheelchair-bound man.
Everyone looked terrified, their bodies trembling, but they kept their heads down, not daring to look around.
"Ignore it! No matter what you hear, don't pay any attention!" Li Jiuhe shouted, reminding everyone.
At the same time, he noticed that only Liu Jiaqi's place in the whole house was free of strange noises, but the woman was screaming in fright because of the other noises.
The next second, Chen Zhenghai's figure suddenly disappeared; he had left this place!
The dormouse in the cage suddenly jumped up, and the pet cage in Zhao Yuanhang's arms immediately fell to the ground.
The seemingly closed iron door of the cage was practically useless to the dormice, which charged straight at it.
But at that very moment, a large foot stomped down, denting the entire cage.
The person who stepped on the cage was Li Jiuhe. At the same time, he pushed Liu Jiaqi away from the pet cage.
At this moment, he noticed that Liu Jiaqi's expression had become wooden, like a wooden stake, without any reaction.
