Su Jin patted his head wearily, the power brought by his palm gave him a feeling that he was still alive, of course he was not dead, but in this city, judging by his current status, he could be with a dead person again. How much difference does it make
After graduating from university, Su Jin was unwilling to return to her impoverished hometown. He wanted to change his destiny and make his family live a better life, so he stayed in City S, hoping to succeed with his hard work.
But after working for a period of time, Su Jin began to feel funny about her original thoughts. In such a city that looks hot but is actually cold and ruthless, hard work is probably the cheapest.
"Little sister is in her third year of high school this year. Tuition, reference books, and food all cost money!" He sighed. Children in the mountains want to get out of the mountains. Going to school is almost the only way out. As for her younger sister, Su Jin naturally hopes that she can do the same. Get out of the mountains.
It turned out that the intention of the family was to let the younger sister drop out of school, whether it was to go out to work or help at home, at least it could reduce some of the burden on the family.
However, under Su Jin's objection, the younger sister can continue her study career after all, but in contrast, the younger sister has to be borne by Su Jin from living expenses to book expenses.
Su Jin's salary is not high, and he has to divide his salary into several parts every month, sending it to his family, sending it to his sister, and renting a house for his own food and drink.
After tidying up her desk, Su Jin left the company. There were still some stars in the sky at ten o'clock at night, which is very rare in today's urban environment.
"Three days later, my colleagues in the company will have dinner together. I heard that AA system will be required, but now it's the end of the month, where is the money left? Otherwise...just say you're sick, skip it!" Su Jin said to herself as she walked on the road. Poor man, he understood very well the saying that a penny beats a hero.
In today's society, spending money is unavoidable to maintain the relationship with people around you, but Su Jin really can't afford it at the end of the month.
The company is not too far from Su Jin's rented apartment, but the so-called apartment is actually just a divided and narrow basement, but even so, the rent of this basement is very difficult for Su Jin to bear, after all This is City S, a place known as the magic capital.
The autumn night breeze was already a bit chilly, Su Jin couldn't help wrapping up his coat, and turning around an alley ahead was his basement apartment, so he quickened his pace.
Just as he was about to turn the corner, he saw a small bookstall. The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man, wearing a hat that could cover his face, so he couldn't see clearly. He kept rubbing his hands, as if It's cold.
Su Jin casually flipped through the books on the bookstall, most of them were outdated magazines, and there were others.
"Boss, how do you sell it!?"
"Two books for ten yuan, pick whatever you want." The boss rubbed his hands in response.
The price is indeed not expensive. The better toilet paper is not at this price these days. Su Jin picked a few at random, and said to the stall owner, "Five copies, just twenty yuan!"
The stall owner seemed to want to close the stall, so he nodded, took twenty yuan from Su Jin, and then began to pack up the stall and prepare to leave.
Su Jin returned to the apartment with the book in her arms. The divided basement apartment was only about a dozen square meters, and even the ten or so square meters were divided into two parts. One was Su Jin's resting place, and the other was a miniature toilet.
After washing up, Su Jin looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little confused. The person in the mirror could not be called handsome, but his facial features were good, which was not bad. Children in remote mountains.
Sitting on the bed tiredly, Su Jin picked up the few books he had just bought, and after flipping through them, he was slightly taken aback, because he should only have bought five books, but now there are six.
"Accidentally took an extra copy?" Su Jin shook her head. Although it was only a matter of a few dollars, the boss had already given her a discount, but now she actually took another copy.
The extra book has a black cover, and the cover has a grainy feel when touched by fingers, which is very comfortable.
"There's no name on the cover?" The black cover is a complete piece without any handwriting, which is strange.
Just as Su Jin was about to open the cover, she suddenly felt trembling all over, with goosebumps popping out. She wondered in her heart that she might have caught a cold, but his hands didn't stop, and she opened the cover directly.
The moment he opened the cover, white smoke rose suddenly around Su Jin's body, and a strange voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Fengxi Town was originally a beautiful place, but decades ago, the villagers of Fengxi Town disappeared overnight. Since then, every ten years on a night, the long-extinguished lights of Fengxi Town will be lit again. Bright, ushered in a crazy night, and today...you are going to witness this crazy night."
The strange voice echoed in Su Jin's mind for a long time. This voice was crazy, cold, cruel, and tyrannical. It seemed to gather all the negative emotions, and every word made people's head ache.
"This... what is this place!?" At this moment, a woman's voice sounded, and Su Jin realized that he was no longer in her bed, but was sitting beside a grain pile, beside him There are also three men and two women, making a total of six people together with him.
Su Jin was a little dazed, and her first reaction was whether she was dreaming. If it was a dream, the dream this time seemed unbelievably real.
"You should already have the answer yourself. Think about the voice that appeared in your head just now." A man leaned against the grain pile. He had snow-white white hair, but he looked very young. He was dressed in black Tang suit, his tone seemed indifferent and cold, but his words reminded everyone of the scalp-numbing voice in their heads just now.
"This is... Fengxi Town?" A man asked with some doubts. He was a middle-aged man with a fat body and a little bald head. He was wearing a suit that looked expensive. Judging from this outfit, it was obvious that this middle-aged man had a lot of money.
"That's right, this is Fengxi Town, and it's also the place where we will be active tonight." At this time another woman said suddenly. The smile gives people a very friendly feeling.
"What do you mean by the place where the event is going tonight? A party? But I clearly... clearly had dinner at home just now!" The middle-aged man was a little puzzled.
"I was reading a book just now." "Me too." The other two men also said, both of them looked like students, one was a little older and looked about ten or fourteen years old, and the other was only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"I... I'm also reading." The woman who asked the question at the beginning also said, this woman looks like 20** years old, with exquisite makeup, but her body is very dusty.
"Ah! I was reading a book while eating soup." The middle-aged man patted his head and said.
Hearing what they said, Su Jin also remembered that she opened the newly bought book just now, and then something like this happened. Several people did the same thing before they appeared here. There should be some connection between them. .
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have time to answer you for now, and it will start in about ten minutes, so you listen to me first." The young girl said to everyone, "The reason why you are here is because Because of the book in your hands, we call it the Hell Manual."
Only then did Su Jin realize that she was still holding the book just now in her hand, but on the cover that had no name before, there were four extra large bloody characters, which were the hell handbook.
Except for the cruel man, the others were a little stunned, while the girl continued, "No one knows who made the Hell Manual, but there is no doubt that it has great power. Every owner of the Hell Manual... Experience infinite nightmares, and if you are lucky enough, you may have a chance to escape the Hellbook in the future."
"What are you talking about with them? They look like newcomers. There is a high probability that they won't survive tonight." The cruel man said lightly.
"This... are you Mr. Jiang?" The middle-aged man seemed to recognize him, and asked a little uncertainly.
The cruel man was taken aback for a moment, then asked slowly, "Do we know each other?"
"Hehe, it's not surprising that Mr. Jiang doesn't know me. I'm just a small person, but I have dealt with Mr. Qin's company in my business." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Since we know each other, you can follow me! If you are lucky, maybe you can survive." The cruel man nodded to the middle-aged man, then glanced at the girl again and said, "If you want to be a good person, just continue to be you Good man, I will not accompany you." After speaking, he left the valley, and the middle-aged man followed immediately even though he didn't know what happened.
The other people were still a little dazed. The young woman looked at the cold man who left and shrugged her shoulders helplessly. She continued to say to the few people left behind, "It's useless for me to say extra words, and I don't have much time. My advice to you, first, pay attention to the hell manual in your hands, it is the foundation of your life! Second, don’t leave the range of Fengxi Town, or you will die! Third, try to live, you will have great harm! reward."
"Excuse me, isn't this a reality show or a prank show?" the older student asked.
The girl smiled, shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you have such thoughts, you will die a miserable death!"
"What's your name?" Su Jin asked, no matter what the situation is, this woman looks like someone who knows the inside story, and it's always a good thing to get to know her.
"My name is Liu Yingying." Liu Yingying looked at Su Jin, she was a little surprised, because although Su Jin had some doubts in her eyes, besides doubts, there was also some calmness.
"You seem to know more than us, how do you know this?" Su Jin asked in a deep voice, how did he appear in this Fengxi Town, Su Jin has no image at all, and it seems that other people are the same, Then what this girl knows is very important to them.
The girl smiled and shook her head. She said to several people, "You won't believe what you tell, so please use your own lives to verify it! Goodbye everyone!" After finishing speaking, the girl turned and left, walked to the valley outside the pile.
Su Jin hurriedly chased after her, but the girl had disappeared and disappeared in the dark Fengxi Town.
The rest of the people felt a little uneasy, and the woman with exquisite makeup said to everyone, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Jing, I am in sales, although I don't know what happened, but let's take care of each other!"
The weird atmosphere made Zhang Jing look very scared. Right now, the three men naturally became her support in her heart. With the situation unknown, Su Jin also felt that it would be better for everyone to stay together, so she nodded and said, "My name is Su Jin, a company employee. I also think it’s better for everyone to take care of each other.”
"My name is Chu Yi. I'm a student, but I don't go to an ordinary high school, but a martial arts school." Chu Yi is an older student. The young man has very well-proportioned muscles, and he looks like he has been exercising regularly.
"My name is Yang Zichen, a freshman in high school." The younger boy said timidly, with a pair of eyes, gentle.
Su Jin looked at the hell handbook in her hand. Liu Yingying said that this hell handbook is the basis for their survival. When they opened the hell handbook, all the pages were blank, only the first page contained content, and the above records It is Fengxi Town.
