Games of Nightmare Chapter 7

In the land of dusk, there is no difference between day and night. Ryan walked on the street, heading towards Dr. Noah's clinic.

After the Holy City mission was over, Dr. Noah should have survived. He drank the poison of the Nightmare Witch and was still unconscious after the detoxification, so he was sent back to the city lord's castle by Ryan. He perfectly avoided the chaos in the second half of the night and won the dangerous mission again. Ryan was convinced by this off-the-charts luck value. He was really envious.

When he arrived at the door of Dr. Noah's clinic, Ryan was a little excited. He wondered how Dr. Noah would react when he saw that he was still alive.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Doctor Lu's weak voice came from inside: "I have to go to the grave today, so I won't be seeing patients."

Ryan said nothing and continued knocking on the door.

After knocking for a while, Dr. Noah in the room got angry and opened the door to scold the guest who was harassing him. He suddenly saw Ryan standing outside the door looking at him with a smile. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he screamed: "Ghost------------------!!!"

Seeing the door about to be slammed shut, Ryan dodged into the house and angrily grabbed Dr. Noah who was about to run away: "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"

Doctor Lu, with a bruised face and nose, covered his face to prevent him from looking. Ryan grabbed him like pulling a carrot and asked angrily: "Look carefully, I'm still alive! Tell me, who bullied you?!"

Because Dr. Noah looked young, Ryan had never treated him as someone of the same age, and he had always taken special care of him when they were working on tasks together. Now, after not seeing him for a few days, he was so angry to see him being bullied like this.

Doctor Lu completely ignored the second half of his sentence, stared at him blankly for a long while, then rushed over and touched his neck.

He was warm and still had a pulse. Doctor Lu burst into tears and held Ryan tightly, refusing to let go. No one knew where he got the strength from. Ryan was strangled by him and wanted to throw him away, but when he heard his heartbreaking cry, he softened his heart and stood there in distress, waiting for him to finish crying.

By the time Dr. Noah finished crying, Ryan's clothes were also wet, and he was still wondering where so many tears came from.

"I saw your body with my own eyes." Doctor Lu said in a muffled voice, his nose and eyes still red.

Ryan, on the other hand, poured him some water like a master: "I was originally dead, but I have a resurrection tool that can revive me after seven days. I didn't tell anyone about this, and it turned out to be a misunderstanding."

Dr. Noah complained with a wronged look on his face: "Do you know how long I cried? I cried every time I thought about it. I was so sad. I wanted to pack up your belongings, but I didn't have the key to your house, so I couldn't open the door. I had to go home crying. It was so embarrassing."

Although he and Ryan had known each other for a short time, they had established a friendship in a terrifying and dangerous world. Seeing his best friend die, Dr. Noah, who was already emotional, was extremely sad. After completing the mission in the Holy City, he followed Mia to evacuate the residents. The staff of the Holy See took the surviving residents away to the Neverland, and he and Mia returned to the Twilight Land. Mia was not in good condition along the way, and Dr. Noah did not dare to cry. After returning home, he saw a training menu that Ryan had copied for him before, and then he crawled into the quilt and cried for a long time.

He didn't feel that the deaths he had experienced before were real. He just felt like he was playing a game that was too realistic. It was not until he saw Ryan, who had stopped breathing and was buried in a tree tomb, that Dr. Noah realized the cruelty of this world.

"Okay, don't be sad. You haven't told me what happened to your face yet?" Ryan held Dr. Noah's head and examined it carefully. There was a swelling on Dr. Noah's forehead with medicine on it, and the corners of his mouth and chin were also bruised. He looked really miserable.

"I...I fell by myself..." Doctor Lu said in a low voice.

How could the people of Qi Le believe it: "It's all over your face?"

"Really." Dr. Noah rolled up his sleeves to show him that there were bruises on his elbows. "I was born with cerebellar incoordination. My balance is very poor. I fall easily when I run. I never passed the physical education exam."

Ryan remembered that Dr. Noah had mentioned this to him before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time and thought he was just making excuses to be lazy.

"Can this be cured?" Ryan asked seriously.

"Ah, I've treated it? Just use the [Three No Treatments] and it doesn't hurt anymore, but the bruises haven't gone away yet." Doctor Lu said blankly.

Ryan felt distressed and amused at the same time: "I mean, can your problem of falling be cured?"

"No, but more exercise will still improve it... I've been exercising recently, using the training sheet you gave me before... but I keep falling. Now I've figured out a solution. Wear more clothes before running, so it won't hurt if I fall. It's just too tiring. I've never worked so hard in my life." Doctor Lu complained, and secretly glanced at Ryan, "Anyway, I will work hard and won't hold you back. Oh, my [Three No Medical Techniques] has also been upgraded, and now the treatment effect is better. I will continue to nurse you in the future. A MT like you who is particularly prone to death needs a reliable nurse like me."

After understanding the cause and effect, Ryan was really angry and amused, and finally a little moved. He had always positioned Dr. Noah as a nurse who could 100% find the mission props and save his luck, so he didn't expect him to help in battle. Now it seems that his death has had such a big impact on Dr. Noah. In fact, Dr. Noah has grown a lot compared to before.

The two chatted for a long time, and Dr. Noah also carefully told Ryan some things that happened after his death, especially about Mia. Dr. Noah was very happy to know that Mia would be back in a month at most. He was very accepting of the fact that his good friend was gay, and was very excited to teach him his prostate massage skills that could make straight men feel very happy. After being rejected by Ryan, Dr. Noah looked disappointed that his "unique martial arts skills were going to be lost".

Ryan was also hungry, so he grabbed some delicious little cakes that Dr. Noah had stockpiled, and ate them heartily under Dr. Noah's resentful gaze.

"Those pieces are my favorites...I queued for three hours to buy them." Dr. Noah said with tears in his eyes.

"I just died and you're in the mood to queue up to buy cupcakes? Take them away!" Ryan took two bites and found that the taste was really good. No wonder it was so popular.

Doctor Lu pursed his lips and looked at the cake aggrievedly: "I was going to take it to your grave as a tribute."

"Oh, I'll take it." Ryan laughed and broke off half a piece and stuffed it into Dr. Noah's mouth. "Okay, you can eat it too. It tastes really good."

The easily bribed Dr. Noah said happily: "As long as you don't die, I will buy you food every day."

"Bah, say something more auspicious! I don't want to die again." Ryan said.

"But you always die when you use the SL method." Doctor Lu stabbed him in the sore spot.

"......"

The two hurt each other for a while. Ryan was tired. Since there were no extra quilts in Dr. Noah's house, he ruthlessly snatched Dr. Noah's bed. He didn't care about Dr. Noah's muttering, and fell asleep with the quilt rolled up.

He had another nightmare.

In his dream, he returned to the temple at the top of the former site of the Holy City Vatican and stopped in front of the huge stone door.

He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. The remaining rationality in him was calling out to him to stop, but in his dream he was ignorant and fearless and bravely pushed the door open.

The Deceitful Lord was watching him with a charming smile.

At that time, Ryan, who was blinded by shock, had no time to appreciate the smile on Roger's face. In fact, his smile was not malicious, but only a hint of amusement and ridicule, just like a human watching crickets fighting desperately in a jar, quietly observing, curious about which one would win.

Ryan didn't quite understand why Roger was always so carefree and casual. It was like this from the first time he met him. When he and Dr. Noah were extremely nervous, Roger was still calm and composed. Because to him, this was just a game of crickets. How could a chess player who could overturn the chessboard at any time be afraid of the thrilling things on the chessboard?

The Qi Le people dreamed of death again.

The trachea in his throat was cut open, and the pain of suffocation and weakness from blood loss brought him back to that place in his dream. He crawled hard on the cold ground, and every inch of distance exhausted him. His will, tortured by death, continued to collapse. He could no longer hold on and was about to give up...

"Ryan, QiiRyan, wake up!"

Ryan sat up suddenly, breathing rapidly and covered in cold sweat. Doctor Lu sat beside the bed and looked at him worriedly: "You asked me to wake you up at this time... You seem to have a nightmare."

"...I'm fine." Ryan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, "Is there any water?"

Dr. Noah poured him a glass of water.

Ryan drank it all in one gulp and recovered from the nightmare. This dream reminded him that Roger might have known about his resurrection and might make another move. He had to be careful that Du Yue leaked the information about the "Nightmare Game". In the final analysis, this was actually his fault. If he were to arrange it now, the first choice should be to ask Ava to hand over this letter to the prophet of the Inquisition if he met with an accident.

Unfortunately, when he wrote the letter, he had just accepted the task from the Inquisition to play the role of "Red". At that time, he and Ava were not very familiar with each other, and he had no good feelings towards the Inquisition, let alone knew the Prophet. Naturally, he could not be as thoughtful as he is now.

The only way to remedy the situation is to get a confidentiality agreement from Ava and sign it with Du Yue.

The time agreed with Ava was approaching, Ryan got up, packed himself up, and walked towards Ava's house.
