Xiao Li was awakened from a dream.
Last night, after he came out of Shen Mizhi's room, he returned to the room. The effect of the original caffeine was also dissipated by the numbness that spread on the skin on the back of his neck. He lay on the bed and felt sleepy. Come on, without even thinking too much about anything else, just fell straight to sleep.
He had a long dream.
In the dream is a sea, the sea is blue, the sun is paved with fine rhinestones on the sea, and it looks sparkling along the ups and downs of the sea.
From time to time, sea fish jumped out and splashed a splash of water, and the sea and the sky in the distance were vast and vast.
In the dream, Xiao Li could clearly know that he was dreaming, and he could even control his actions.
He stood on the shore and looked at the sea in the distance for a while, then turned back and found a group of islands behind him.
With the largest island at the center, the rest of the small landmasses are regularly lined up around, forming concentric circles with the land in between. There are many buildings on the island in the middle, the highest of which is a temple, which stands on a tall mountain, stands tall, very conspicuous, and forms a triangle with the two small temples at the lower left and right.
On both sides of the temple, two divine soldiers were cast. They wore helmets and held a weapon in their hands, as if guarding the things inside the temple. The divine soldiers and the temple were both exquisitely constructed and had a particularly harmonious beauty. It can be seen at a glance even from a distance.
In addition to the temple in the middle, the other two small temples are guarded by a Sphinx statue in front of each.
Xiao Li was standing in the westernmost part of this island group.
Xiao Li was silent for a moment at the building in front of him, and the name mentioned in the mission description came to mind: "Atlantis?"
He turned around and wanted to walk towards the central island, but at this moment, a hurried knock on the door from the outside woke him up.
The person knocking on the door should be in a hurry. He knocked a dozen times in a row. At the same time, there was a constant voice of people walking outside the door: "Sherlock, Sherlock?"
Xiao Li's eyes that had just opened were lost for a moment, but with the knock on the door, he quickly regained consciousness. After getting up from the bed, he opened the door: "What's wrong?"
It was Wen Wenwen who knocked on his door.
Wen Wenwen lost the smile on his face, with solemnity. When he saw Xiao Li was safe and sound, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Hetian is dead."
He told Xiao Li what had just happened.
In the morning, Bruce was the first to get up. When he came to the living room on the way, he found that Xu Jiaheng was fast asleep, the quilt was scattered on the ground, and his belly was exposed.
Bruce chose to wake Xu Jiaheng, and in the confused eyes of the little boy, he chatted with him for a while about the situation of this lost town, and wanted to get more information.
After that, with the passage of time, Kesia, Wen Wenwen and others also woke up, and in the end, only Xiao Li and Hetian were left in the room and no one came out.
Wen Wenwen knocked on Hetian's door first, but no one answered.
This time, he immediately became nervous. He didn't have much contact with Tsuruta, but he also knew roughly what kind of person the other party was, and he definitely wouldn't take an unusual path like Sherlock.
After calling for no one for a long time, he chose to break into the door directly and found that Tsuruta was already dead on the bed.
Xiao Li followed Wen Wenwen upstairs. There was a circle of people around Hetian's room, and Xu Jiaheng was among them. His face was pale, and he had the same face as Hetian on the bed, trembling constantly.
Hetian's body was covered with a white cloth by Jin Handong. After his death, he looked shocked, as if he had seen something that he couldn't believe.
Wen Wenwen said: "Maybe it's the figure walking out of the movie, maybe it's the creature peeping at us, but it's not this that worries me the most, but when Tsuruta died, he was still holding his lifeguard in his hand. props."
He pointed to a mesh-like object on the table.
"This is a very expensive life-saving tool in the mall. It is limited to purchase every month. As long as you take it out, it can ensure the safety of the user's life within a limited time." Jin Handong explained, "It will automatically disappear into the air after use. "
But now this prop was clearly placed on the table, which means that it was useless to the thing that killed Tsuruta, which made the reincarnators think of the props on their bodies one after another.
Sometimes, seniors dare to take risks, not only because they know the truth of "seeking life in danger", but also because most of them have several life-saving props on their bodies, which suddenly lose their usefulness, and they can't help but panic.
"Assuming that it was the cutthroat figure who killed Tsuruta, does that mean that as a ghost from the movie, our props are useless to it?" Wen Wenwen tried to stabilize himself, telling himself not to panic, Analyse calmly, "If that's the case..."
When he said this, he couldn't go on.
Xiao Li stood at the door, his eyes flickered when he heard the words, watching Xu Jiaheng lowered his head and bit his fingers with his teeth, while Kecia inside checked the things in Hetian's room.
This time the task is really complicated, it does not stipulate a specific time, such as the most conventional seven-day survival, just let the reincarnators go in and find a way to survive.
This somehow implies that they can't find a way out and will die soon.
Also, why would Tsuruta be the first to die
Was it randomness, or did he do something that triggered the goblin's first dead end
No answer yet.
Tsuruta's sudden death made everyone else extra vigilant.
Wen Wenwen secretly pulled Keshia and others, and whispered again to propose the isolation of Xu Jiaheng. What he meant was that since the props are no longer available, it is even more necessary to be on the safe side. What if the ghosts live on the plot characters? It’s better to stay away if you can, or pay some money to rent a house to accommodate the other party.
No one immediately objected this time, which was regarded as the default.
Once the samsara decides on one thing, the efficiency will be very high. They are going to go out together to inquire about the news, and rent a house by the way. At the intersection in the middle, Xiao Li is separated from them.
Wen Wenwen stopped him in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Li: "Go and see Xu Jiaheng's mother."
The rest: "..."
Fortunately, Xu Jiaheng himself is not here, otherwise there might be something wrong.
Wen Wenwen: "But if Xu Jiaheng's mother has been possessed..."
Xiao Li thought for a while: "But it is also possible to hear a different version of the story. I like to hear stories."
He didn't mean to act with the team, and Chong Wen Wenwen raised his hand slyly.
When Xiao Li arrived at Xu Jiaheng's house, his car repair shop had already opened. His mother was wearing a floral plaid shirt and cotton pants, with the trousers rolled up, and was squatting in front of a bicycle, tinkering with the parts on it.
Xiao Li tried to say hello: "Xu... Auntie?"
Mother Xu raised her head and glanced at him. The movement in her hand did not stop, and she muttered, "Outlander."
Xiao Li directly admitted: "Yes, I just came in from outside."
"Are you looking for me?" Mother Xu asked coldly.
Seeing that Xu's mother didn't seem to communicate well, Xiao Li tried to start with Xu Jiaheng, and he went straight in: "Aunt Xu, have you noticed that your son is a little strange recently?"
When Xu Jiaheng was mentioned, Mother Xu finally stood up and threw the screwdriver in her hand on the stool next to her.
"Do you know Ah Heng?"
"It doesn't count as acquaintance," Xiao Li said, "that is, he helped him reluctantly."
Mother Xu: "Help him? What can you help him?"
Xiao Li pondered for a moment: "... survive?"
Mother Xu immediately looked at him with a neurotic look, as if she would take out a broom and drive him away in the next second.
In order to prevent this premonition from coming true, Xiao Li speeded up his speech: "Your son said something to me, he said that you have become different from before, which made him feel scared."
As he spoke, he kept observing the other party's expression. He thought that Xu's mother would at least be surprised, but he didn't think about it, but Xu's whole body froze, and then the whole person changed like a person, and raised his eyes faintly: "Did he tell you that?"
Xiao Li: "Well, Aunt Xu, do you have another version of the story you want to tell me?"
Mother Xu turned to the back and pointed to the houses behind the car repair shop: "Why don't you come in and talk?"
"No need, I don't like going into other people's homes casually." Xiao Li said, looking around inadvertently, but found something—
The two houses on the left and right of the Xu family have windows facing this road. At this time, half of the faces in these two windows are peeping at him through the glass.
This half of the face belongs to the upper half of the human head, and it can be seen that it looks different, but they all stare at him.
As for the window at the back, there was a slight movement, and the naked eye couldn't see it clearly due to the distance.
"Are you sure?"
Mother Xu stood where she was, as if waiting for Xiao Li to change her mind.
Xiao Li retracted his gaze and didn't think for too long: "Well, you can say it like this."
Mother Xu didn't seem to expect this answer, she looked at Xiao Li more, and then opened her mouth.
When she spoke, her voice was hollow, without the slightest anger, but there was a faint light in her eyes: "He broke the rules, I have to look at him, always look at him."
Xiao Li paused for a while, giving her time to continue speaking.
Mother Xu's eyes turned to look at the young man in front of her. Her sullen eyes looked very malicious. The wrinkles were added layer by layer, like a circle of tattoos, and the whole person seemed to swell a lot: "You also broke the rules, you outsiders, we have to..."
"Look at you."
"Watching you flee, struggle, die."
"Peeping is everywhere."
"You can't escape."
silence.
long silence.
Mother Xu stood in front of Xiao Li, turning her head, her body was moving, but her eyes were not moving, and they were firmly nailed in their sockets.
Xiao Li listened for a while, bathed in the other party's sight, and responded: "That's it?"
"It was full of weak threats, word tossing, and I thought I could hear a different story."
He raised his volume a little: "The script is written for you, listen, from your point of view, Xu Jiaheng is a bad boy, he skips classes every day and doesn't talk about it, and often makes the teacher call you to complain when he is naughty, so please bear with it. Can't go down."
"However, recently, he has intensified. He has been making noises that there are ghosts in the house, and you have not seen anything, but he has been saying that you have a problem."
"He said you were a ghost, you were strange, and at the same time, Xu Jiaheng's behavior became even more bizarre. He often stared out the window at night, saying that there was hair outside, and curled up in the quilt in fear, refusing to come out, and even more so. I won't be with you."
"In desperation, you can only watch him secretly at night, for fear that he will do something, but he holds on to you and says you peek at him at night."
"I think the story is a little more dramatic, what do you think?"
