—The sound seemed to come from the shadow guard in front of him.
As if aware of the gazes of the two of them, the shadow guard who stood there blankly turned around and looked towards them.
When he saw the shadow guard's frontal appearance, even Chang Xi, who had no fear of strange stories, couldn't help but be startled.
The Shadow Guard's entire head, or rather the outline of its face, was replaced by a fleshy pointer compass.
Like a facehugger in Alien, this fleshy monster that looks like a pointer and compass is tightly attached to the shadow guard's face, with hundreds of tiny fleshy tentacles unconsciously hanging around the edges. The waving looks quite terrifying.
"Look, isn't the second-level Feiying Shen you mentioned here coming?"
Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Yanhuo Fengyue complained about Chang Xi beside him, and at the same time, he quietly stepped back.
They were too close to the obviously parasitized shadow guard in front of them. If a conflict broke out, they might not have time to react at such a close distance.
But I don’t know what happened. Faced with the obvious retreat of the two of them, the shadow guard in front of them had no idea of taking any corresponding measures. He was still like a piece of wood as before. He just stood there blankly.
It's just that during this process, the fleshy compass pointer on the shadow guard's face is still moving. Almost every ten seconds, the ticking sound made by the movement of the pointer will be heard. It sounded once in this hall.
In this way, in such a weird atmosphere, Yanhuo Fengyue and Chang Xi retreated all the way to the gate.
Under the premise that they already had a way out, the two of them were no longer as restrained and nervous as before. They just stared at the shadow guard standing over at the door and started talking quietly.
Although they could not fully understand it, they still had a certain understanding of the specific role of Bai Zhi's skill.
If the shadow guard who was teleported back from that place was parasitized and turned into such a ghostly appearance, then what would be the current situation of Bai Zhi who was teleported before
Judging from the fact that almost a few minutes have passed and the other party has not sent any more transmissions, the situation on Bai Zhi's side is really not optimistic.
But despite what they said, the two of them didn't mean to worry too much about each other. After all, judging from someone's previous performance, instead of spending time worrying about the other person's safety, it is better to worry about themselves first. good…
Although the thing in front of me that was teleported from that place did not show much aggression, it just parasitized on the face of the shadow guard, making ticking sounds as time went by. , but this does not mean that they are safe.
"This thing is so disgusting..."
Looking at the fleshy compass parasitic on the shadow guard's face, stretching out the hundreds of tentacles, Yanhuo Fengyue subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead.
—Probably because she felt the same way, she unconsciously missed the time when she had an epitaph.
"What should we do now? We can't just wait here all the time for him to come back, right?"
Chang Xi asked as his eyes were still fixed firmly and vigilantly on the other side to prevent the other party from making any next move.
"I always have a pretty bad feeling in my heart."
"Hmm... Why don't you try to hit me?"
After thinking for a moment, Yanhuo Fengyue suggested.
"Anyway, I remember your crowbar. It seems to be a long-range attack weapon, right? Otherwise, you are like this..."
Yanhuo Fengyue held her hands empty and made a waving gesture.
"Hit it hard on the head?"
"...Are you sure you didn't come up with a bad idea? What if you anger the other party? Who knows what the rules of this ghost's ability are."
Chang Xi glanced at a certain fireworks and wind moon next to him with a slightly subtle expression.
"And besides, my crowbar isn't meant for this..."
Before she finished her sentence, Chang Xi's expression suddenly froze.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely saw a piece of skin peeling off on Yanhuo Fengyue's cheek, just like a small piece of waving tentacles... fleetingly.
…an illusion
"Tick-"
Before Chang Xi could think too much, the sound of the hands moving sounded again.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Chang Xi suddenly staring at his cheek, Yanhuo Fengyue reached out and touched his face with some confusion, but he didn't find anything strange on his face.
"You just seemed like... what were you doing!?"
Suddenly, he was caught off guard and his face was pinched hard by the other party with quick eyes and hands, and his hair exploded instantly.
"...I saw your face split just now."
After letting out a breath, Chang Xi looked back at the parasitized shadow guard.
"Besides, do you feel like your face is a little itchy? I'm starting to feel that way too, as if..."
Without further speaking, he stared at the shadow guard over there with a solemn expression. The crowbar in Chang Xi's hand disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a blank picture.
Unrolling the blank scroll in his hand, Chang Xi quickly drew on the scroll with an invisible pen in his hand.
In less than a few seconds, the panoramic view of the hall in front of him was perfectly reproduced on the blank scroll.
With the last stroke of Chang Xi's hand, a black and airtight steel cage appeared out of thin air, locking the parasitized shadow guard in the cage.
"...My face is cracked?"
Covering his cheek with one hand, Yan Huo Fengyue suddenly felt a terrifying smell inexplicably.
She didn't feel it before, but after Chang Xi's reminder, she did notice something was wrong.
She did have an itchy feeling on her face before, but because the feeling was very subtle, she didn't pay much attention to it and thought it was caused by dry skin.
But now...
"Do you suspect that we are infected by a curse?"
Looking at the black iron box holding the shadow guard in front of him, Yanhuo Fengyue also frowned in a rare moment.
"Absolutely. Since I'm not sure whether the infection is through sound or sight, I just kept it in... although there is a high probability that it is through sound."
Holding the scroll in his hand and looking at the scene in front of him, Chang Xi nodded solemnly.
"Our guesses may be wrong. The flesh compass may not be parasitic on its face, but may have grown directly on its face. We should have been tricked."
"The infection of the curse... meme?"
His expression changed slightly, and Yanhuo Fengyue suddenly thought of the strange message he had received from the deceased Zero before.
At that time, she was very curious as to why the deceased Zero wanted to be the Riddler and sent them such a long and incomprehensible message. But thinking about it now, maybe this was what the other party did on purpose.
Compared with curses, memes that can be spread in any form are undoubtedly more terrifying. A painting, a sound, or even a piece of text can also become a carrier for the spread of memes.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the deceased Zero sent her such an inexplicable message back...
"Tick-"
At this time, the voice sounded again.
"!!!"
Looking at the still tightly fitting metal cage in front of her, Chang Xi's expression changed slightly.
"Obviously the spread of sound has been stopped... Can the sound be spread outside like this?"
"Tick-"
"Tick-"
"Tick-"
The sounds of the three hands moving sounded one after another in the next second, and the sounds were distant and near.
Then from this moment on, the continuous ticking sound sounded in their ears like a reminder.
"It's not that one, it's the shadow guards that Bai Zhi had left here before. They were all infected..."
Throwing a large ball of cotton to Chang Xi, Yanhuo Fengyue stuffed cotton into his ears and spoke loudly in a hurried tone.
"Ignore other things for now, let's block our ears first and then escape!!"
The Shadow Guard's fixed-point transmission requires the Shadow Guard as a medium. Not to mention that the West Pavilion Court Master and the others are here. Bai Zhi doesn't want to give up such a well-built underground base, so before, Bai Zhi and him Several shadow guards were deliberately left here as relay stations. The return of him and the deceased Zero depended entirely on these shadow guards.
But now, all the arrangements Bai Zhi had made before have turned into life-threatening talismans for Yanhuo Fengyue and Chang Xi...
Even if the ears were tightly blocked with cotton, the ticking sound could no longer be heard in the ears, but in the process of quickly escaping from this underground shelter, Yanhuo Fengyue and Chang Xi were I still feel that my cheeks are becoming more and more itchy.
Under the superposition of the sounds of multiple hands moving, their condition was rapidly deteriorating in a very bad way.
Under the gaze of Yanhuo Fengyue, Chang Xi's cheeks were cracked one after another, and small tentacles poked their heads out from the cracks...
-If it continues to deteriorate at such a speed, they will simply not be able to support themselves and leave here.
Volume One: The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 824 Chapter 814 The Very “Useful” Chang Xi
Not only Yanhuo Fengyue is aware of this problem, Chang Xi is also aware of this problem.
It's not too far from the exit from them, and they can get there in a minute at most. However, with the exponentially superimposed ticking sounds around them, their situation is simply unsustainable. One minute.
After realizing this, Chang Xi decisively made a new response.
As the blank picture scroll opened again in front of her, the invisible pen she held in her hand quickly passed over the paper.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Along with the sound of a series of heavy objects falling to the ground, three heavy boxes of different sizes and materials appeared out of thin air and opened downwards, trapping the two of them upside down inside.
As the surrounding area darkened instantly, Chang Xi's hands kept shaking, and her wrists shook rapidly, and a wooden floor instantly formed under them.
The stone box, the iron box, the wooden box, and the triple box trapped them inside like matryoshka dolls. The three consecutive soundproof walls formed by them completely blocked out the ticking sound like a reminder. Isolated from the outside.
In just a few seconds, the surroundings of Yanhuo Fengyue and Chang Xi became extremely quiet.
In the dark and extremely hot wooden box, the only sound that could be heard was the breathing between the two of them.
Sitting on the floor leaning against the wooden wall behind him, Yanhuo Fengyun could clearly notice that after completely cutting off the life-threatening ticking sound, the strange itching on his face was progressing with the passage of time. And dissipate slowly.
However, although the situation had improved, for a while, Yanhuo Fengyue did not dare to reach out and touch her cheek, for fear of touching the tentacles of a hand or something...
The Crimson King that grew on her forehead had already caused a psychological shadow in her heart, but now it happened again. This would be a huge psychological harm to her child.
Sure enough, it would be best to have one more doctor in the team... By the way, am I being tricked by him
While secretly cursing in his heart, Yanhuo Fengyue looked at the opposite side of him.
Although it is pitch black without any light source, the so-called night vision ability can be regarded as standard equipment for mid-to-high-level players like them.
Although you can't see any overly complicated details, such as whether the situation on the other person's face has improved, you can still simply judge where the other person is sitting.
"How are you doing now?"
Looking towards Chang Xi, Yanhuo Fengyue asked him.
"It's okay, I'm used to it... just wait a moment."
As if you sighed in your mouth, Yanhuo Fengyue saw Chang Xi pick up the scroll again, and just when she was wondering what the other party wanted to do, a few seconds later, in this relatively spacious room Inside the wooden box, the light came on.
"this… "
Lifting his head and looking at the light tube above the two of them, Yanhuo Fengyue looked slightly shocked.
She knew that the other party had the ability to create things out of thin air by painting on flower rolls, but those previous iron boxes and glass shields were easy to talk about, but what about the light bulb above their heads now
What about electricity? Where does electricity come from
The other party's ability does not seem to be as simple as creating something out of thin air.
After that, two soft beds, a small table, and even an air conditioner blowing air... These things were all drawn one by one by the other party.
And Yan Huo Fengyue's emotions have also changed from shock at the beginning, to curiosity, and then to excitement now.
"Can you draw anything?"
Lifting his head and looking at Chang Xi, Yan Huo Feng Yue's eyes were burning.
"... It can only be things that exist in reality, and illusory ones are not included. There is nothing we can do about things that are too complicated, we can only limit them to daily necessities."
As if thinking of some bad past events, Chang Xi hid the scroll behind her with some vigilance.
"So, don't think about me drawing a husband for you."
"Are you kidding me? Do you think I will be the kind of person from the second dimension?"
Sitting cross-legged on the bed with a pillow in his arms, Yanhuo Fengyue hummed in his mouth, turned his head and looked to the side.
"I just want to eat watermelon suddenly... Can't you really draw a Pikachu for me?"
Chang Xi: "..."
