Shadow: "… "
In the next second, before Ge Xiu could do anything, he heard a shrill scream from the shadow lying on his shoulder. The scream was sharp and terrifying, and suddenly cut through the darkness.
Gossiu felt a light on his shoulders.
The fuzzy black shadow twisted and trembled under some strange external force, and then fell heavily to the ground. The harsh scream like metal scratches suddenly disappeared, and there was only one left.
Hearing only two beeps, the flashlight in Ge Xiu's hand flashed twice, then turned on again.
The pale beam of light dispelled the darkness, and the barren path in front of him reappeared.
Ge Xiu rubbed his ears, which were aching from the shock, then turned his wrist slightly, and pointed his flashlight in the direction where the shadow fell.
I saw a paper figure more than half a person tall lying on the ground.
The paper man was wearing a long red dress, with black hair, pale face, and vague and stiff facial features. On the white paper-pasted face, two dazzling blushes were drawn with red paint. The contrast is sharp and strong, and with the smile on its face, it gives a weird and scary feeling.
Ge Xiu walked over and bent over to pick up the paper figure.
The tentacles don't feel right.
He straightened up and lifted the paper figure from the ground.
The paper figurine collapsed with Ge Xiu's movements, and the smile that was very standard just now twisted instantly, as if it had melted, it was pulled into a long, soft strip, swaying slightly in the air.
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows and lightly rubbed the surface of the paper figurine with his fingertips.
It is soft and delicate to the touch, and seems to be slightly moist.
Looking at it under the light of the flashlight, you can also faintly see the texture of the skin.
It's made of human skin.
Ge Xiu shook the empty human skin puppet in his hand and unfolded it in the air. With the help of the light, he could clearly see a charred palm print on the human skin puppet, deeply branded on its skin, faintly visible. There is also a slight burnt smell.
He grabbed the soft puppet, looked up at the thick and thick darkness around him, and suddenly shouted:
"Hey!"
No answer.
The air flowed slowly like a stagnant liquid, and there was no wind or shadow on the pitch-black wasteland around him, only a solid darkness.
Ge Xiu narrowed his eyes: "Come out."
There was still silence all around.
Ge Xiu looked around for a week, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in the darkness in front of him.
Everything was quiet, and he was like a man shouting into the air.
But the old woman's sudden retreat, coupled with the black palm prints on this human skin puppet, there is only one explanation that can make sense.
It seems that the other party has made up his mind and is determined not to show up in front of him.
Ge Xiu let out a "tsk" and withdrew his gaze:
"It doesn't matter if you don't come out."
He opened his backpack, stuffed the puppet inside, then flashed the flashlight and continued walking towards the ancestral hall.
The road conditions in the dark are completely different from those in the daytime. The roads that I thought were clear before turned out to be crooked at night, extending left and right to the gaps between houses and houses, and those houses with no rules at all were also looking for a way. created a huge obstacle.
He turned twice and felt as if he was back where he was.
Ge Xiu frowned and was about to move in the other direction when he suddenly heard a scream from a distance:
"Ah!"
He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.
There were a few tiny lights dimly lit in the darkness in that direction, which seemed to be where the player lived.
Ge Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at the darkness he was about to step into.
- This village is too big, and the road conditions are complicated, it seems to be difficult to find the ancestral hall in the dark.
He turned around very simply, quickened his pace and ran back.
When Ge Xiu arrived, the other players had already gathered in the courtyard. The door of one of the rooms was open, and dim lights spilled out from the room. In the center of the crowd, a new player covered his face and hummed. weeping.
"What's wrong?" Ge Xiu asked a player standing beside him.
The player's face showed an impatient look, and he snorted softly: "What else can I do, newbie."
"What a fuss." Another player muttered.
The rookie player who was surrounded by the crowd was sobbing as he recounted his experience: "I... I couldn't sleep just now, but then I turned over and suddenly saw a face outside the window. Look at me."
"It's pale and pale, and it's still laughing at me."
She was hiccupping, her shoulders still shaking with the cry.
The other players looked at each other, each with a solemn look on their faces.
One of the players asked, "What did you do before you saw the face?"
The newcomer shook his head desperately: "No, I didn't do anything."
The surrounding players whispered and discussed in a low voice:
"Also, if she does something, we probably won't see her again."
The newcomer obviously heard it, and a look of fear was evident on her face.
Everyone analyzed the clues based on the current clues. The final countermeasure was to lock the doors and windows of the players, and not to peep out. After all, although this novice player saw something not very good, he did not encounter a poisonous hand in the end. It is possible that the things in this dungeon will not break into the door, and it is safer to stay in the room for the time being.
However, just as the players were preparing to go back to their rooms, the newcomer did not want to live alone.
She looked at the other players with tears in her eyes, crying and twitching, obviously frightened.
But the other players looked embarrassed.
In this kind of survival time dungeon, the last thing you should do is to break the existing model. Although it may be more reassuring to live with two people, it is powerless in the face of ghosts and supernatural phenomena. On the contrary, it may be due to excessive Be different and be the first to be attacked.
Silence spread, looking at the silent crowd, the face of the novice player showed a look of despair.
She is a very beautiful girl, with fair skin and a slender figure, and when she has tears in her eyes, she can't help but feel pity.
She hiccupped, her voice weak and choked:
"Please, please, I really don't dare to be alone tonight..."
Several male players were obviously shaken.
At this moment, behind the crowd, a calm voice sounded: "That's it."
Everyone turned to look at the place where the sound came from.
I saw a tall and tall young man standing at the junction of light and shadow. He slowly stepped forward, his dark eyebrows and eyes narrowed slightly, and his dark eyes were like calm and dark lake water, fixedly watching the crying pear blossoms with rain in front of him. The girl, with her thin lips slightly raised, revealed a faint smile: "Then you can sleep with me tonight."
Everyone was stunned.
The novice player's face was slightly stiff.
She murmured, "But... but..."
Ge Xiu looked calm: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you."
It stands to reason that if a male player takes the initiative to propose to sleep with a new female player in the difficult dungeon, the implied meaning is self-evident.
But... looking at the other's face, they couldn't think of it, it was Ge Xiu who had a thought he shouldn't have.
After all, when it comes to taking advantage, it should be the other party that loses a little more.
"Also, this is my second instance." Ge Xiu shrugged, took a few steps forward, and continued: "My room is on the side again this time, and there are not many players around, so I'm scared by myself. Woolen cloth."
The smile on his lips deepened: "The two of you can still take care of each other a little bit together, don't you think?"
There is no reason to refuse now.
So the novice player nodded and agreed to Ge Xiu's invitation.
The night is darker.
Now that the matter has been basically resolved, other players have returned to their rooms.
Ge Xiu also walked into the novice player's room, and the thin wooden door was closed behind him.
The slender girl sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at him timidly, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going to sleep?"
"On the bed." Ge Xiu said succinctly.
His answer was too calm, as if it was justified, as if such a gentlemanly speech did not come from his mouth.
The girl was slightly taken aback.
There was a tinge of blush on her fair face, and then she said shyly, "Then... where do I sleep?"
As she spoke, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Ge Xiu, who was standing not far away. The shyness and expectation in it were very obvious. Coupled with the reddishness on her beautiful face, she looked more and more charming than Hua Jiao. With an irresistible charm.
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked slowly:
"Do you still need to sleep?"
The girl frowned and looked at each other in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Ge Xiu shook his head and sighed:
"It's all over, do you want to keep pretending?"
The girl frowned even tighter: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
His eyes were dark, his lips were pale, and the expression on his face was extremely calm:
"I'm curious how you attacked this player. Did you trick her into opening the door?"
"And I want to know," Ge Xiu tilted his head: "Is that scream from you, or from the player?"
The corners of the girl's blood-red lips slowly rose, and the color in her eyes gradually became seductive. The originally delicate face was filled with a strange sense of terror intertwined with stiffness and beauty:
"Since you know everything, why did you come in again?"
Before Ge Xiu could answer, she stood up and walked slowly in his direction.
Her figure is graceful, her steps are smooth, and the smile on her face deepens:
"—but that doesn't matter anymore."
"Since we're in the same room, you can't escape."
The girl's giggling sounded in the dead room, and a pair of cold and pale arms snaked up like snakes, hugging Ge Xiu's waist slowly and gently, the cold breath wrapped in the thick bloody smell and spread. Come.
"I suggest you don't touch me."
Ge Xiu looked down at the girl who was close to his shoulder.
That face became stiff and strange, as if wearing a mask made of paper, the blood-red lips were split to the sides, revealing sharp and white teeth: "Why..."
Before the words were finished, the girl flew to the side like a broken kite, her back slammed into the simple wall, and then slowly slid down the wall.
A pair of feet stopped in front of her.
The young man looked down at her condescendingly and smiled:
"Because my boyfriend would be jealous."
