The terrifying heavens inside the box

"Tina?"

Nancy's grip on the sword tightened, and the mirror in her other hand grew cold from her clutching. She stared blankly at her friend lying in a body bag not far down the corridor.

The next second, Tina's feet were lifted up instantly, as if grabbed by an invisible hand, and she was dragged into the corner.

Nancy's hair stood on end, her mouth was slightly open, and her voice was stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

The scene before me was indescribably bizarre and absurd.

It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from!

What's even more heartbreaking is that her friend, who was laughing and joking with her just yesterday, died so inexplicably.

Nowadays, even corpses are treated like toys, manipulated at will by some unknown entity.

A mix of emotions welled up inside her, making her feel suffocated, and a surge of inexplicable anger welled up from the bottom of her heart.

"Tina?"

"Tina!"

Nancy ran toward the corner where the body disappeared, but bumped into a woman with pigtails wearing a red and green striped sweater and dark blue trousers.

The other person sat down on the ground, and upon seeing Nancy, asked in a serious tone:

"Where's your early departure slip?"

"Leave me alone!"

Although she had knocked someone down, Nancy was now in a state of utter confusion, and all she wanted to do was catch up with the guy who had taken Tina's body.

She bypassed the woman on the ground and continued running along the trail of blood.

Until a man's voice came from behind:

"Hey! Nancy...no running in the hallway."

When she heard the other person call her name, Nancy instinctively turned around.

The woman with pigtails had blood all over her face and showed off the gloves she was wearing, which had four sharp blades.

Before Nancy could react to this scene, she felt something in her hand trembling violently.

She looked down and realized it was the mirror.

The moment Nancy picked up the mirror, a beam of white light burst forth from its surface and landed on the figure wearing a red and green sweater.

The strange woman with pigtails instantly transformed into a man wearing an old black and brown top hat with severe burns on his face.

The only things that remained unchanged were his red and green sweater, dark blue trousers, and gloves with four sharp blades.

Nancy immediately realized.

This guy must have been behind everything from beginning to end!

"Who are you? Where did you hide Tina's body?!"

"I, I am... Freddy Krueger!"

He was about to laugh strangely when his face suddenly froze.

At this moment, his body felt as if it were nailed to the ground by some invisible force, and he could not move except to open his mouth.

Despite being unable to move, Freddy remained calm and asked with a strange laugh:

"Hey! Nancy, what's that?"

Nancy noticed that the guy who called himself "Freddy" was standing still, not moving at all.

She glanced at the mirror in her hand again, and subconsciously raised it to look at herself, but Freddy across from her had already sensed something was wrong.

"See you next time, Nancy! Hehehe..."

The eerie laughter faded into the distance. Nancy shuddered, jolted awake from her slumped position on her desk.

Seeing that her classmates in the classroom had returned to normal, she realized that she had just been dreaming.

A nightmare!

"Nancy, do you have any complaints about our course?"

Hearing the laughter from her classmates and the look from the teacher on stage, Nancy subconsciously looked down and noticed that she was holding a mirror and a wooden sword in her hand.

……

After school.

On the drive back, Nancy showed Glenn the mirror and the wooden sword and asked:

"What do you think this is?"

He glanced at it quickly and replied, "I don't know."

Seeing his girlfriend sigh beside him, Glenn deliberately changed the subject, his face full of confidence:

"However... I know, who knows what these things are?"

The two drove to Mahonia Avenue in the center of Springwood, a main commercial street.

Glenn stopped the car and pointed to an antique shop.

"Are you sure?" Nancy looked at the shop, which hardly anyone was coming in or out, and asked with some doubt.

"If you have anything you don't recognize, or anything strange, bring it here and let Old Chen identify it. He'll be right."

Glenn is very confident about this.

After the two entered the shop carrying a mirror and a wooden sword, an elderly foreign man with gray hair looked at them.

"Hi! Chen." Glenn greeted him warmly as soon as he entered the store.

Unfortunately, the other person only glanced at him before fixing their gaze on the two items in Nancy's hands.

"Where did you get this?"

When the other person spoke in English, Nancy hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

"I found it."

"So, are you planning to sell it, or...?"

Nancy quickly shook her head: "We want to ask about the origin of these two items."

Seeing Old Chen behind the counter extend his hand, she understood what he meant and handed over the two items.

"Old Chen, do you know what this is?"

Old Chen's fingers had barely touched the mirror when he glanced at it. His eyelids twitched, and his face instantly darkened. "Take it away! It's just a broken mirror! A broken wooden sword!"

The two were practically ushered out of the shop, while a few muttered curses drifted out from inside:

"What the hell... I thought it was some kind of treasure, are you kidding me? Are you playing me? You jerk!"

Nancy, who had been kicked out of the store, glanced back at her boyfriend and asked, "What did he say?"

Glenn shrugged awkwardly. He didn't know why the old foreign man had suddenly turned on him and gotten so angry.

Frustrated, the two got into the car. Just as they were about to drive home, Nancy suddenly remembered something and told him to go to the police station.

The two went together to see Rhodes, who had been arrested.

Nancy also confirmed with the other person that the guy was wearing a red and green sweater and sharp gloves.

more importantly……

Glenn's face tightened, and he stammered, "That guy... I saw him too, just like you said, in a dream. What's going on?!"

Nancy nodded to the two of them: "Do you remember that jump rope nursery rhyme? Freddy Krueger is a real person! He's got his eye on us! Tina was... he..."

Upon hearing this, Rhodes, who was locked inside, instantly broke down.

He grabbed the railing and shook it frantically: "Tina's dead, next...me, what about me? Let me out! Let me out now!"

This guy started shouting, which got the police officers to come in and kick the other two out.

"What do we do now?"

Recalling Tina's death yesterday, Glenn was now somewhat panicked.

Nancy looked at the two items in her hands and made some guesses.

This mirror and the wooden sword... there can't possibly be a coincidence!

After thinking for a moment, she handed the wooden sword to her boyfriend.

Seeing Glenn holding the wooden sword with a suspicious look on his face, Nancy said, "I haven't used this before, but they should all have some effect on Freddy."

Before they went their separate ways, she quickly reminded him again, "Remember to keep it with you. Come find me tonight, and don't be late! Don't mess it up!"

……

After dinner, it was evening.

Nancy, dressed in her pajamas, gripped the mirror tightly, watching TV without daring to close her eyes.

Until they heard a knock on their second-floor window.
