The man who had been staring at Ge Xiu in a daze just now was suddenly awakened by the voice.
He raised his head and looked at the residential building whose lights were slowly lit in the darkness, a dignified and gloomy look on his unshaven face.
Seeing such a bizarre scene, the two men and women who seemed to be incompatible with the others became more and more panicked. They subconsciously took two steps back, as if instinctively wanted to stay further away from the ominous building.
The girl in the long dress sobbed and asked cautiously:
"Could it be, are we... going in?"
The unshaven man glanced at her coldly: "If you want to stay, stay, we are not responsible for what happens."
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes, looked at the collapsed residential building in front of him, and murmured thoughtfully:
"Games start… "
He turned his head to look at the man standing beside him: "Since it is a game, what are the rules of the game?"
The man heard the voice and looked towards Ge Xiu.
Although he was already mentally prepared, when Zazi's eyes touched his face, he still couldn't help but his eyes flashed slightly, and the voice that was not very polite just now also subconsciously softened:
"...you'll know when you go in."
After speaking, the man withdrew his gaze and walked towards the residential building.
The rest of the people followed behind him and walked inward one by one.
The two newcomers looked at each other tremblingly, took a deep breath, and followed at the end of the team, trembling toward the residential building.
Ge Xiu looked up at the slightly sloping building again, and then stepped inside.
There is a rotten and damp smell in the narrow corridor, and the old-fashioned light bulb above the head makes a squeaking sound. After passing through the corridor, there is the lobby of the residential building. The light in the lobby is dark, and under the flickering light, you can see the surroundings. The walls are mottled and covered with copper-red rust marks.
In the center of the empty hall, there was a table.
There is a boxy red box on the table. The color of the coating is thick and thick, and it is particularly bright, as if it has not dried up. Even if it is far away, it can almost make people smell the pungent smell. Bloody smell.
Everyone looked at each other and walked forward slowly.
That's a raffle box.
The unshaven man stepped forward first, and slowly put his hand into the box, and there was a sound of metal collision in the box.
He pulled out his palm, and in the palm lay a brass key. At the end of the key was a mottled iron piece with a dull number printed on it:
301.
The others also stepped forward one by one, and took out a key with a room number from the box.
Gossiu stood at the end of the line and was the last to take the key out of the box.
After he took out the last key, a line of words slowly appeared on the wall opposite the crowd:
"Find five special items from this residential building. The player who finds the items first can get special rewards. When all five items are collected, the game is over."
"Everyone can only rest in the room where they have the keys at night."
"I wish everyone a happy game."
Immediately afterwards, the old clock hanging on the wall made a soft "click", and then began to walk - according to the time shown above, it should be eight in the morning.
Is it a scavenger hunt game
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked down at the key in his hand.
The same brass-colored key as everyone else, with a small iron piece hanging behind it, the three numbers on it are particularly conspicuous:
502.
A building has five floors, that is a special item on the first floor.
Everyone looked at each other in a circle, and one of them suggested: "According to the current situation, this game may be overnight, so let's all introduce ourselves."
The unshaven man was the first to say, "My name is Chen Jian."
After saying that, he fell silent.
The rest of the people continued to introduce themselves. The two newcomers have gradually calmed down and are no longer panicked as before. The man is called Zhao Cheng, and the woman is called Lin Xue.
Ge Xiu also followed suit:
"Wang Er."
Everyone: "...???"
Ge Xiu's expression was calm, not like he was cheating.
Everyone couldn't help but have a little doubt in their hearts - although this name is a pseudonym, but...
Is it really his name
Obviously people are too good-looking, but why is the name so... so...
ordinary
Chen Jian was the first to come back to his senses, and he broke the silence: "Let's go, let's go and search the first floor to see if we can find the first item."
"Who has the key to the first floor?"
Two people raised their hands, and the two of them took 101 and 104 respectively.
So everyone came to the door of 101 first.
The lights in the hallway were broken, only the small lights in front of their respective doors were still on, dimly illuminating the corner of the old and cold door, the person holding the 101 key inserted the key into the lock hole and turned it around, but the inside seemed to be blocked. It was stuck, and could not be turned no matter what, the people behind did not believe in evil, and also came to try to turn the key—but the result was the same, the door in front of him was like cast iron, and there was no intention to move at all.
Chen Jian frowned and said to the man with the 104 key, "Go and try 104."
After a few deafening knocks of the door panels, the man straightened up from the other section of the corridor and shook his head at the watching crowd.
It seems that the doors corresponding to the keys drawn by the players cannot be opened during the day.
The faces of everyone became ugly.
They all knew that it would not be that simple to obtain the so-called special item.
However, if that item was enclosed in the room corresponding to the key that the player got - people shuddered at the thought of possibly spending the night with that "special item".
Behind the crowd, Ge Xiu looked around the surroundings with interest.
It was the first time he had experienced such a world, and this feeling was very new to him.
The rookie girl named Lin Xue came over. She glanced at Ge Xiu's face a little embarrassedly, and then abruptly withdrew her gaze as if being burned. She lowered her voice and stammered as she asked: " That, Wang...you, is this your real name?"
She was embarrassed to tell Ge Xiu all the pseudonyms that Ge Xiu was talking about.
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows: "You don't think so?"
Lin Xue hurriedly shook her head: "No no no, that's not what I meant."
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious..." She took a deep breath and continued to ask a little embarrassedly: "You, what kind of star are you? The clothes you wear are rare... and... "
It looks a little too good looking...
Lin Xue's ears were covered with a blush, but in the end she didn't ask that sentence.
Ge Xiu glanced at her half-smile, and said ambiguously:
"more or less."
- It's not like he hasn't been a star anyway.
After a simple conversation, Ge Xiu almost knew the girl's identity and background - 22 years old, with both parents, a happy family, just graduated from college this year, and suddenly dazzled in the process of looking for a job, when he opened his eyes again It was a disaster to find myself appearing in such a strange place.
It seems that the players in this game are not very picky.
Ge Xiu touched his chin, groping.
At this point, everyone was already heading towards 102—different from 101 and 104, the door of 102 opened as soon as it was pushed, and a rotten smell mixed with dust escaped from the crack of the open door, and the leading player was choked and coughed. twice.
The room is not large, it is a very simple two-bedroom and one-hall. Although the furniture is old, it is very complete. There is a thick layer of dust on it. There are three of the four lamps in the room, and the only one left. It also flickered, as if it would go out in the next second.
A few daring players walked in and began to rummage around the room cautiously.
Ge Xiu took a few steps forward slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around the floor.
After the chat just now, Lin Xue seemed to have a natural sense of dependence on Ge Xiu. She quickly followed and took a few steps forward. She probed into the door and looked in. She turned to look at Ge Xiu and lowered her voice. He asked, "You, do you want to go in and look for it?"
Ge Xiu shook his head: "No."
"Don't you want that special reward?"
Ge Xiu shrugged: "Not here again."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards 103 deep in the corridor. Lin Xue froze in place, frowning and thinking for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what the other party's meaning was, or whether he was pretending to be false or real. of knowing where things are...
Ge Xiu pushed open the door of 103, and glanced casually around the almost identical pattern.
Then, as if he saw something, his gaze paused in a certain direction.
Ge Xiu walked straight into the room.
He bypassed the lifeless living room and came to the kitchen
The kitchen is very small, with cabinets and stoves crowded into seven or eight square meters, and kitchen utensils and chopping boards are hung on the wall beside it.
Gosho opened the drawer and pulled out a knife from it.
The knife shone with cold light, as if reflecting his face.
At this moment, Ge Xiu heard the sound of "duh", "duh", and "duh" coming from behind. It was dull and regular, and it was very clear and frightening in the small kitchen.
He narrowed his eyes and turned to look behind him.
In front of the stove, which was empty just now, a woman was standing.
With her back to Ge Xiu, her right arm moved up and down mechanically. The chopping board hanging on the side of the wall had been taken down. The dull "duo" sound made the stove vibrate, and thick black and red blood flowed from the chopping board. The edge overflowed, fell along the edge onto the cooktop, pooled in a pool of blood, and then tickled off the cooktop and onto the floor.
Something was murmured in her mouth.
Ge Xiu frowned and listened for a few seconds before confirming what she was talking about:
"Where's my knife... Where's my knife..."
The woman's movements suddenly stopped.
Her neck made a "click" sound, and she twisted her upper body bit by bit, but her lower body stopped in place and showed no signs of moving at all.
A blue and white face looked straight at Ge Xiu, his cloudy eyes didn't blink:
"…Did you see my knife?"
Ge Xiu smiled kindly and shook the kitchen knife in his hand:
"Is it this one?"
The woman's face suddenly turned hideous, and her suddenly agile gaze settled on Ge Xiu's face.
In the next second, a shy expression suddenly appeared on the distorted face that seemed to be made of paper pulp:
"…Yes, thank you handsome guy."
The author has something to say: Ge Xiu:
