As soon as it came out, it was the choice of the third-stage mission, and there was a time limit, which made Zou Hanyi temporarily turn his attention from the way to get out of the haunted house. She took the lead and asked Xiao Li: "How to choose?"
At this time, Brother Hao also followed. After Xiao Li and Zou Hanyi left, he didn't know whether they were dead or alive, but what he knew was that the clown was still there, looking at him with malicious eyes - but it didn't move.
The clown didn't come directly to kill him, which in a sense shows that Xiao Li is right.
Brother Hao finally chose to believe them, closed his eyes and walked forward, together before this tall building.
Brother Hao looked at the mission book and said, "Rescue or destruction, why does it sound like we have to choose between being a good guy or a villain... How can we save here, save it?"
Xiao Li looked at these two options: "Destruction is always easier than saving."
"But..." Out of instinct, Zou Hanyi subconsciously wanted to refuse destruction, she tried to put this part of the idea behind her, and asked in a different direction, "After choosing this task, what kind of quest will the dungeon world ask us to do? The way to complete? Destruction, will never let us directly destroy the restricted area, and save... Could it be... "
Zou Hanyi has a huge brain hole. She thought of a novel she had read and spit out four words: "Through time and space?"
"Stopping the explosion before it happens is the most complete way to save..."
Xiao Li interrupted her: "This is impossible, there will be a paradox."
If the reincarnators come to the restricted area, and then travel back to the restricted area to save the restricted area before the explosion, naturally there will be no restricted area in the future, so how can they travel back inside the restricted area
Brother Hao interjected: "Anyway, I can't imagine how I can save it. It's also Sherlock's credit for me coming out. You choose, I'll follow you."
He knew very well that he was not a decisive reincarnator. In the previous world, he could survive because there was a certain top leader in the team, and he was responsible for acting as an outpost.
Zou Hanyi was silent for a moment: "So you want to choose destruction?"
"No," Xiao Li took the pen and wrote stroke by stroke on the small yellow book, "I choose to save."
Zou Hanyi: "Why?"
Xiao Li shrugged: "Destruction is often an instant event, and salvation can be stopped at any time."
Zou Hanyi: "... ah?!"
She didn't realize it, but seeing how Xiao Li was not going to explain, she struggled for a moment, and wrote the word "rescue" on her task book.
Brother Hao followed them and made the same choice.
[You have chosen task 1, save the restricted area. Please successfully complete the task within six days. After the task is completed, you will be teleported back to the real world.]
There is no clue to the reincarnators in the task reminder, it seems that everything is in this factory...
Xiao Li put the task book back in his pocket again. He raised his flashlight and pointed it at the tall building in front of him.
The sky in the restricted area was just dimly lit. The sun emerged from the clouds, and the crimson light flowed down the satin-like sky, entering the restricted area and covering the restricted area.
Light hits the surface of the sarcophagus, reflecting a sea of light.
Xiao Li turned off the flashlight and walked inside the factory.
Along the way, Zou Hanyi stood beside him and glanced at him several times. Finally, when she was about to enter the building, she asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "Sherlock, why is the way to get out of the haunted house? Close your eyes? How did you see it?"
Zou Hanyi asked herself that after she came out of the Daughter of Drowning's hot spring hotel, she was also observing and thinking, but why didn't she realize that the way to survive was to close her eyes
Xiao Li opened the door and said slowly, "Angle."
"In the Daughter of Drowning's hot springs, the angle I saw her reflected on the water... didn't change."
"Generally speaking, the mirrored object will not change, but the left and right will be reversed, but the reflection on the water surface of the drowning girl is still positive. After I came out of the hot spring hotel, I used my mobile phone as a mirror, and lit the candles behind me, and the others. Clowns are all positive, but when I look at myself, it is reverse."
He stretched out his hand and nodded his eyes, and then said: "There is another possibility for the former, that is, everything is in the mirror, but my reflection is reversed, which means that I am not in the same world with them, That leaves only one last possibility, and they are in our eyes."
"That's why Jing Gui said that it is with us like shadows, who can abandon their own eyes?"
"From the moment we enter the haunted house, everything starts with the eyes, as long as we open our eyes, we can perceive them, but they are not illusions, they are real... A bit like ghosts covering their eyes, as soon as we enter the haunted house, In an instant, they have covered our eyes." Xiao Li paused, "I don't know if you can understand, in other words, as long as we close our eyes, we can block the ghosts in our eyes and return to reality, from Go out of the haunted house in reality."
In reality, the haunted house is, to put it bluntly, an ordinary house. The staff in it have long since been turned into ashes with time. Therefore, as long as you close your eyes, you can isolate the ghosts living in the eyes of the reincarnators and move forward. Go, get out of the haunted house no matter what.
Zou Hanyi listened carefully, she nodded and said, "So that's how it is..."
Brother Hao doesn't ask for explanation as much as she does. As long as he survives, he can look forward to everything else. Instead, he looks at the inside of the factory.
This building is the core area of the explosion, the center of the exclusion zone, and the pollutants are emitted from it.
The area where they are now is obviously the central control area, which is relatively clean and tidy, but it is also dusty and floating in the air.
Walking in through the gate, the first thing you see is a small room with various industrial appliances in it.
Brother Hao picked up a cover at random, made a gesture, found no other clues, and put it back again.
Soon, they searched the lobby on the first floor and found nothing else.
Xiao Li and others came to the second floor, and when he turned the stairs on the second floor, his footsteps paused for a moment.
On the originally white wall, a black figure suddenly appeared - it didn't look like it was painted, but it looked like a person was standing in front of the wall when the accident happened, but due to the high temperature and radiation during the explosion. Pollution, the whole person dissipated directly in the air, leaving only this figure on the wall.
It's even scarier than a mere paint portrait.
Xiao Li looked away and walked towards the room deep in the corridor.
However, just after the reincarnators passed by this black figure, the solid figure on the wall slowly... turned his head and looked at their backs.
No one noticed.
—
The second floor seems to be the staff dormitory at that time, and it is only the first floor away from the main control room on the third floor. There are two bunk beds in each room, a quadruple room.
Xiao Li sat beside the bottom bunk of the bed on the left and flicked the dust on the bed with his hands.
Zou Hanyi also occupied half of the other bed.
Before, because there were too many ghosts in the haunted house, Zou Hanyi didn't feel it even when he was tense, but now the rhythm has slowed down, and tiredness immediately flooded into his heart.
Before Zou Hanyi could speak, Brother Hao had already climbed onto Xiao Li's upper bunk in two steps and one step at a time, and he asked carelessly, "Should we sleep first, let's talk about it, last night didn't mean I didn't sleep at all, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm now The whole spirit is muddled. In such a state of mind, I feel like I can't last a day."
Zou Hanyi actually agreed, but she was afraid that the previous nightmare would come, so she looked at Xiao Li in a tangled state.
Xiao Li nodded and said, "Then let's sleep, I'm going to sleep too."
After he finished speaking, he consciously lay down on the pillow and fell asleep on his side.
When Zou Hanyi saw this, she swallowed her worries. She checked the closed door again and lay down. After a while, her breathing gradually calmed down, and she fell asleep.
Xiao Li had a dream.
He dreamed of the little girl again.
Her skin was cracked and red, and her bones were bent awkwardly outward, looking like a terrifying deformity.
The little girl is standing in the playground, she is sitting on a swing, with a big zombie dog by her side.
The swing swayed slightly, the little girl's arms resting on the ropes, and she looked in the direction of the factory.
Xiao Li stood behind her and sighed: "It's you again, can't you let me get a good night's sleep?"
The little girl suddenly turned her head 180 degrees. She opened and closed her lips towards the reincarnator behind her and said, "Save me."
Xiao Li: "How to save it?"
The little girl was silent.
Xiao Li took a few steps forward, squatted down and fixed the swing of the swing with his hands, and looked directly into the little girl's eyes: "Tell me, how can I save you?"
Seeing this, the zombie dog grinned at Xiao Li, and the saliva dripped onto the ground along with the sharp teeth.
Xiao Li glanced at the dog.
The zombie dog barked softly, and for some reason, subconsciously pinched its tail, it always felt that the person's eyes were always wandering around its butt...
The little girl's eyes were red, and she said with difficulty: "The main control room... it's over there!"
She had just finished saying these words, and before Xiao Li had time to respond, she heard a high-pitched dog barking in her ear: "Wang O-"
The sound directly woke him up from his sleep.
Not only him, but also Zou Hanyi and others were woken up directly. Brother Hao on the top bunk turned over and almost fell off the bed.
Xiao Li jumped up from the bed, opened the door and looked outside—
The sunlight spilled into the corridor along the broken glass, and in the shadow of the corner of the building, a tail disappeared from his field of vision.
Is that the dog...? Or other creatures
Zou Hanyi stood behind Xiao Li, her breathing was a little messy: "Are you dreaming?"
"Done."
"I dreamed that the little girl told me to save her, I didn't respond, she got up from the swing and walked towards me step by step, but before she touched me, I was woken up by the dog bark ." Zou Hanyi recounted his dream.
"Fuck me too!" Brother Hao slapped his thigh, "I haven't slept enough yet, so I can't get a good night's sleep here?! I don't know how to save her. I got this Buddha to pass by and recite the mantra?"
For the first time, Xiao Li had the urge to echo the first half of Brother Hao's sentence. He pressed his temples with his hands, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids. He said, "Go to the main control room."
He's going to finish this dungeon quickly, and then... go home and sleep.
—
From the staff dormitory here to the main control room, the reincarnators walked all the way, and there were more human-shaped shadows on the walls, as if the employees working here inadvertently witnessed the explosion and were annihilated into shadows on the walls.
Zou Hanyi was reluctant to look at it, and looked away all the way, but Xiao Li looked at it carefully, so he almost reached out and wiped it down to taste it.
Brother Hao couldn't stand the atmosphere, and took the initiative to guess: "How can we save it? Could it be that their bodies can't rest in peace here, we need to find them and bury them?"
Zou Hanyi shook his head: "Then this is also saving the individual, and it has nothing to do with the restricted area. If something like this is related to the region, unless it is a formation, a huge gathering Yin formation... I have been in line with a samsara who understands Feng Shui formation. But unfortunately I am not proficient in this myself.”
Xiao Li said: "Whether it's a formation or not, go and see first."
They were getting closer and closer to the main control room, and the gaps between those figures on the walls were getting denser.
Xiao Li passed by one of the figures, and after his vision was completely turned to a blind spot, the figure originally faced the left and raised its head slightly, but at this time its head was staring at Xiao Li's back and turned to the main control room on the right. .
Xiao Li turned his head as if he was aware of it, the black shadow on the wall caught his movements, and he quickly turned his head back to his previous appearance.
Is... an illusion
Zou Hanyi in front had already entered the main control room, she asked Xiao Li from a distance, "Sherlock...?"
"It's okay, you go first, I have something to do."
Xiao Li pondered suspiciously at the black shadow on the wall for a moment, but found nothing, then turned around and walked towards the door of the main control room.
The dark figure slowly looked towards Xiao Li's back, and there was a malicious light in his eyes.
When Xiao Li was about to enter the main control room, he turned around again—
The shadow turned back to its original point extremely quickly.
Xiao Li turned back, the shadow looked at him, Xiao Li looked back, the shadow returned to its original position—
This cycle repeated many times until Xiao Li seemed to hear a "click" sound, which was the protest sound from the cervical spine after the black shadow went back and forth several times.
Xiao Li: "..."
"Don't make a fool of yourself, in fact, I'll find out as soon as you move." Xiao Li walked up to the shadow, took out a fountain pen, and drew an arc on the shadow's chin, which was still trying to maintain its original state, and said quietly, "You now The arc of the head raised from the original posture is completely different, and now it is too far away from forty-five degrees, and it does not look melancholy at all."
Shadow: "..."
It has never been depressed! !
