The monsters crawling around raised up their petal-like skin and limbs, and squirmed quickly on the old wall. The bloody face and the mouth opened savagely, from the creeping throat that seemed to shock the white willows, and they were muffled. Roar.
The skill [Cardio Heart] activated by Liu Jiayi directly exchanges the bodies of two people, which means that his body is his own now, but Bai Liu's panel movement speed is not high, so he is chased by these monsters. It quickly fell into a disadvantage.
From the eyes of the members, another King’s Guild [Liu Jiayi] was about to be glued to the monster behind, opening its "buds" to swallow him.
The one from the King's Guild looked at this situation, he had to gritted his teeth and reached out to lift the back collar of [Liu Jiayi] and ran with him.
Soon, they ran to the door of this old Chase shop. The member twisted the rusty doorknob twice and did not open it.
"Fuck." The member yelled angrily, and quickly turned his head and back to the door, gloomily looking at the rose monster that was constantly approaching them, and pulled out a sledgehammer in his hand, "These monsters are all S- Level, I can’t last long with you."
Bai Liu asked abruptly: "If you hold it alone, how long can you hold it?"
"??? Five or six minutes." The member asked in confusion, "Wait, why should I stand alone, little witch, you are not by my side..."
Bai Liu showed him a gentle smile, holding a bottle of low-level perfume that he received only this morning in his hand, and sprayed it without hesitation at the players who hadn't reacted yet.
The boring perfume made this member cover his face and choked a few times. As the perfume spread, his body exuded a light rose fragrance. Those corrupt monsters who had been watching them closely now coincided with each other. Turning his gaze, he looked at the player next to Bai Liu together, and a covetous grin appeared on the vaguely bloody face of the monster.
[System prompt: warning warning! The concentration of perfume on the player is too high! Attracted the attention of (corrupted employees)! They are about to come and suck the smell on your body! 】
The player who raised his head: "..."
The team members let out a roar of resentment: "I'm gracious to your mother!! You are Bailiu!!"
The monsters are like spiders stabbed in their nests, surging quickly towards the team members, and soon an airtight encirclement is formed around the team members. The team members scolded Bai Liu’s ancestor for the eighteenth generation while being helplessly. Trapped in place, he picked up a sledgehammer to attract the attention of these monsters for Bai Liu.
And Bai Liu quickly came out of this encirclement and began to quickly search for clues in the chase shop of the inner world.
The [Inside World] setting in the game can usually be explained in this way, that is, two different time branches, or parallel worlds at different time points overlap in one place, and when the players entering here meet certain conditions, You can freely shuttle between the two world lines.
Generally, this method of supplementing the world line is to facilitate the player to go back to a certain point in the past or the future to explore the hidden information behind the game worldview, so there are usually a lot of key information in the inner world.
What Bai Liu has to do now is to find out the key information he wants.
A dozen workers’ bodies lay on the crookedly arranged Chase bunk. The uniforms they wore were not the same as those worn by Bai Liu and the others now. They looked even older—this is most likely a past [inside world].
Soon, Bai Liu searched under a corpse and found a newspaper to corroborate this.
This incident is a Mirror City Evening News. The headline in the newspaper is-[Illegal perfume may contain toxic addictive substances, which has caused several employees to become addicted, and the whereabouts of several employees are unknown. They have been banned by relevant departments].
Bai Liu read down the article of this report, and his eyebrows rose quickly.
According to the report:
[... The director of the illegal perfume factory is an orphan named Zhang. Due to congenital cataracts, he has poor left eye vision. He was adopted at the age of three, his adoptive parents passed away and inherited his inheritance, and he was later imprisoned for three times for illegally embezzling private property. He also secretly accumulated a lot of wealth and contacts, but he is still not satisfied...】
[In September of this year, when the poisoning incident in the orphanage broke out, Zhang saw the news and returned to the original orphanage and wanted to fundraise, but Zhang proposed the conditions for donation. He liked the sculpture of the statue of the original orphanage very much. The original idols of the orphanage should be purchased on the grounds of donations...】
[... The dean of the orphanage agreed, and Zhang finally used a donation of 10 million yuan in exchange for the statue of the god buried in the ground during the reconstruction of the orphanage...]
[Soon after, the director of the orphanage was imprisoned for the blood ganoderma incident. The relevant department investigated Zhang, who had a financial relationship with the director of the orphanage. Zhang said that he had no knowledge of all the bad behaviors performed by the director, but just wanted to Donated money to help the children, and only liked the idol, and then the relevant departments searched all the fixed residences and bank safes under Zhang's name, and never saw the idol.]
[After the relevant personnel asked about the origin of the statue of the dean of the orphanage, the dean said madly that this statue is an unknown, evil statue. It was invested by investors in order to pray for the smooth cultivation of blood ganoderma. It was specially developed from a declining statue that specializes in amulets. The statue bought in the museum in the seaside town is said to be the most expensive statue in that town. 】
[She said that the reason why these investors think that this statue can protect blood ganoderma lucidum breeding is because the face of this statue looks exactly the same as a more evil child who gave birth to blood ganoderma, and has been dead for a long time! ! 】
[Since then, Zhang began to engage in new type of rose cultivation and perfume research and development, leased a large area in the suburbs, hired a large number of workers to start large-scale rose planting, and named this rose with withered leaves after flowering as dry leaf rose]
[This crop (referred to as dry leaf rose in the text) has an extremely magical growth cycle. It can still grow rapidly on land that does not conform to the growth of Rosaceae flowers, and it will overwhelm the entire suburbs overnight. 】
[Later, Zhang's perfume made from modified crops had similar effects, and was very popular in the market through Internet sales. However, after the supervision department stepped in, it was discovered that the perfume had serious safety risks, and it was banned in the same month. Fine, Zhang is forbidden to plant and sell the perfume again. 】
[A week later, Zhang disappeared, and there has been no news. 】
The report is over here.
But from the reality of the situation, this Zhang, the first director of the Rose Factory, obviously did not stop there, but secretly opened the Rose Factory, a larger factory again, and finally attracted the intervention of the Dangerous Heresy Bureau. .
These employees lying here should be the first batch of employees of the rose factory, the employees who died and were thrown here because of intolerance to rose perfume, that is, the employees whose whereabouts are unknown in the news headline.
After reading the newspaper, Bai Liu continued to search, looking for anything that might be an information-bearing object under the bed and around each corpse—the information-bearing objects in horror games are actually just the same.
Newspaper, paper, calendar, video tape or diary.
Soon, Bai Liu found a diary in the abdomen of a corpse with a painful expression facing upwards, holding a knife in his hand and inserting it into his neck.
Bai Liu opened the diary, and on the first page of the diary full of dust and scum, a remorseful inscription was written on the lower right corner of the diary:
[I have never regretted so much that I opened an unprecedented evil thing. I thought that my desire without a lower limit was already the most horrible thing in the world, but then I realized that it was not. The statue I bought back was just Yes! 】
[Dry-leaf rose is a flower brewed by the evil god, it will not wither, will not wither, will not decay, it will only reflect the process of its flower blooming and falling through the human body completely bewitched by it, and it is a product of the god’s love, In the bones and flesh of the human body, beautifully immortal in the fragrance of madness. 】
[Rose dried leaf gas is the most perfect perfume. It is a poison without antidote. As an excavator, I understand the first point, and as the deceased prove the last point. 】
Bai Liu looked at the last word of this paragraph and turned to the next page without pause.
[I grew up in a private orphanage funded by others. I understand that the investors here have a peculiar witchcraft. This witchcraft is inseparable from a strange child in the orphanage. It is a very, very Strange child, I don’t know his face because he always hangs down long hair to cover his eyes]
[But I'm sure that no matter who it is, as long as you meet this child once, you will recognize him when you see him later! 】
[Because he is so scary, the moment I saw him, there was only one horrible thought in my mind that would make me think now, that would tremble. I was really afraid of him, but I was separated by his soft hair. , And his light blue eyes, like giant beasts in the deep sea, and after inadvertently glanced at it, there was only an impulse that seemed to be possessed by a demon in my mind—]
[—I want to kill him! I want to break him into pieces! 】
