Horror Movie Set: This extra is too good at playing the tricks.

Chapter 81 Matryoshka Dolls

This is still Adan's little house.

From the outside, it looks like a dilapidated, drafty mud-brick house.

But upon entering the main room, one sees a huge black screen that occupies an entire wall, coldly watching over every survivor in the room.

The screen lit up, and countless split-screen images instantly spread out, providing 360-degree surveillance of the entire Shuangshan Village.

From the old locust tree at the village entrance to the small grave mound on the back hill, and then to the eerie underground sewing workshop, all the evil and fear here are transformed into high-definition pixels.

Lu Dan walked to the screen, the blue light reflecting on his tired and numb face, making his pupils appear deep and dark.

"Who would have thought?" His voice was hoarse, tinged with self-mockery, as he traced his finger across the screen. "The so-called Shuangshan Village is nothing but a scam."

"This is not just a game between the yin and yang sides, nor is it just a game of beast chess between a headless white-robed god and a two-headed red-robed god. It is a product of two completely independent horror scenarios that have been forcibly mixed together by some unscrupulous person."

"One is 'Twin Sins,' which is about the creation of gods and the collapse of faith; the other is 'The Eye,' which is about time travel and the stripping away of dreams."

Lu Dan opened his arms, a helpless smile playing on his lips.

"What's most disgusting is that the conditions for completing the game are not linear. If we complete the game on one side, but we die on the other side, the game will also end."

"A two-pronged approach: ensuring my own survival while also helping these clueless fools survive."

A brief silence fell over the room.

Ye Jianguo walked to Lu Dan's side, his eyes also fixed on the Santana sedan slowly driving into the village entrance on the screen.

"Stop complaining. Being able to stand here and speak is already a stroke of luck that you've used up your next life's worth of blessings."

The veteran cadre's eyes were still sharp, but deep within them lay a profound lingering fear.

"We've taken the concept of 'unexpected twists of fate' to its extreme."

Ye Jianguo crossed his arms, his fingers tapping unconsciously on his sleeve. "You got it right the first time, so we took Zhang Min directly across the back mountain and into the yin side."

"If it weren't for this, Zhang Min's sealed memories would never be unlocked. If she doesn't remember, we wouldn't know how to use our 'eyes'."

At this point, he glanced at Lu Dan's chest.

"Take the 'eye' out of the corpse, lure the red-robed two-headed god to the underworld, and finally use the hatred mechanism between the two gods to trigger a divine war, forcibly fusing the 'eye' into your body in the chaos."

Ye Jianguo shook his head and gave a wry smile, "If we had made a mistake even for a second, we would be a pile of mud right now."

"It really was luck," Lu Dan didn't deny.

He turned to look at the crowd, his gaze becoming unusually serious. "But luck is a consumable commodity that cannot be replicated."

"We now control the 'eye,' which means we control the right to reset, but that doesn't mean we've won."

He pointed his finger and tapped it heavily on Adan's face, which was displaying a simple and honest smile on the screen: "The key is him. The one on the other side is doomed to die, and will definitely die in front of Yaoyao and Yaoyao's graves."

"But death is not the end, but the beginning; the sunny side of him will dream the next night."

Lu Dan narrowed his eyes, recalling the fragmented dream: "This is a chaotic entanglement of the entire timeline; he will possess the body of Yao Yao from back then."

"Here comes the important part—" Lu Dan emphasized, "He must and can only dream of the first generation of Yao Yao."

"Only by seeing the original god-making ceremony decades ago through the eyes of the first Yao Yao, and seeing where that eye came from, can they obtain the key to truly pass the test."

Chen Hua, leaning against the wall wiping his baton, couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this: "Listen to this, is that even human language?"

She slammed her baton on the table with a loud clang: "A dream within a dream, a scheme within a scheme, and it even spans decades of time to precisely pinpoint a single perspective? Did the scriptwriter lose their mind?"

"I'm starting to suspect you've got some kind of protagonist's halo, otherwise how did you manage to succeed on your first try with a route that's less likely to succeed than winning the lottery?"

"We've worked ourselves to the bone to get through this game, and now we have to act as babysitters, feeding us through the screen while praying we don't choke."

Although Chen Hua's complaints were sharp, they reflected the sentiments of everyone present.

This feeling of powerlessness is like holding the launch button for a nuclear weapon, but whether it can be launched depends on whether a monkey thousands of miles away can solve a math problem.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down." Da Lu leaned closer to the screen, forcing a smile on his chubby face. "Complaining won't help. Since we're already on this pirate ship, let's just sit tight and watch the show."

"Look, it's starting. Whether they live or die, let's see how long this group can last."

......

The sun was still scorching, making one's scalp tingle.

Lu Dan stood beside the car with a smile on his face: "Greetings, leaders. I'll take care of these matters. Just call me A Dan."

Standing opposite him were the first four members of the group.

Seeing this, Lu Dan, watching from outside the screen, felt nothing but absurdity.

This is reincarnation. No matter how many bloody battles you have experienced, no matter how tragic your death was a second ago, as long as you press the reset button on the "eye", everything will be as if it never happened.

The plot began to unfold as if a shortcut had been pressed, and the details that had once thrilled them now seemed like a poorly executed silent film.

They watched as they moved into Lu Dan's small courtyard, and saw ghostly figures lingering outside the window.

As night fell, Shuangshan Village revealed its ferocious fangs.

Casualties began to appear, and the first to fall was still the original Chen Hua, followed by Ye Jianguo and Da Lu.

Finally, the crucial moment arrived, and the image on the screen became dark and shaky.

It is Lu Dan's first-person perspective.

He stumbled along the path behind the mountain, pursued relentlessly by the eerie villagers.

His breathing was heavy, and his heartbeat could be heard through the screen. In a panic, he plunged headlong into the two lonely little mounds.

"They're here."

"Lu Dan said in a low voice outside the screen, his fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothes."

From a perspective unseen by Lu Dan on the screen, two malevolent auras surged into the sky behind him, one as red as blood and the other as pale as death.

With a loud crash, Lu Dan's head fell to the ground, and blood splattered onto the camera lens, turning the whole world into a crimson filter.

Chen Hua sighed softly. Although he already knew the outcome, it was still painful to watch Lu Dan die before his eyes.

"Don't rush." ​​Lu Dan's gaze was fixed on the gradually cooling corpse, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.

"Only when the body dies will the consciousness sink; this is the real key now."

The image on the screen began to distort, and the surrounding scenery began to spread out like an ink painting.

Time flew by and it was already evening of the second day.

A blinding ray of sunlight cleaved through the darkness like a sharp sword.

The eagle on the screen is falling, passing through layers of mist and decades of time.

When his vision cleared again, he found himself not in his own body; his gaze had lowered, and his perspective had become youthful and full of vitality.

He looked down and saw a pair of small feet wearing red embroidered shoes, happily kicking pebbles on the ground.

"Little demon, slow down, be careful not to fall."

Lu Dan, watching from outside the screen, let out a long sigh of relief, his tense shoulders finally relaxing.

"It's connected." He turned around and smiled at his teammates behind him. "This time the timing is right, it's the first generation."

"The real show is about to begin."
