Chapter 4: Fear converter

Views:

[Dart throwing distance> 4m, in line with the standard! 】

[Roulette starts! 】

[Please throw! 】

The turntable nailed into the door panel of the bedroom began to rotate, making a "sizzle" rubbing sound, colorful waves of water rippled, a pitch-black dart flying across the parabola in the air, like a drunk poisonous bee fiercely entering Bright petals.

The roulette stopped spinning, and the dart was nailed to the red area—[Courage]!

The red, like sticky blood, weirdly penetrated into Chen Chao's eyes, quietly swallowing the fear that overflowed in his eyes, and the dense blood like a spider web entangled the eyeballs, reflecting the darkness without a trace of impurities. Benevolent.

[Blood gives bravery! 】

A line of information flashed in Chen Chao's mind, and a transparent thermometer appeared on his retina, and the mercury in it rose sharply as if it was boiling.

[Fear transformation is complete! 】

[Random transformation effect-courage! 】

[Fear value is cleared, courage value is 21, value conversion is superimposed, calculation... The final courage value is 174, which exceeds the first critical threshold, and B+ level buff is turned on...]

【Pain sensation is weakened by 74%, the pain warning mechanism is blocked, the nerve response rate is increased by 126%, and the concentration of attention is increased by 174%. Under continuous blood loss, for every 50ml of blood loss, the secretion of adrenaline increases sharply, and the muscle activity is superimposed by 10%! 】

Fear is like paint washed away by makeup remover, and it fades along the gully texture of the skin. The skin that is stiff due to fear gradually relaxes. Chen Chao reaches out and touches the stubble stubble on his chin, listening to the harsh banging of the door outside. The corners of his mouth naturally grinned, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

"I heard the roar of blood rushing through the blood vessels** in my ears, and I also smelled the eager desire for blood to leak out of my pores in my nose. This is the courage to overflow and roar in my body~ "

Chen Chao took off his drenched pajamas, revealing his thin, dry chest and the fat-storing belly, then he pulled out a crumpled sleeveless vest from the foot of the bed, and he smashed his lower lip proudly. : "It turns out that in my body like a waste wood, what has been living in is the heart of a warrior!"

Get up, get out of bed, open the bedroom door, and turn on the light.

The dim light illuminates the living room, and a half-bitten apple is placed in the middle of the coffee table filled with snack trash bags, and a fruit knife is inserted on it.

He drew the knife and sent the apple into his mouth. The sharp teeth chewed and made a crisp sound. Chen Chao wiped the blade with his clothes and gripped it tightly. Then he turned around and walked towards the security door that seemed to fall apart at any time.

The "crack" sound of the security door hit, the "click" sound of chewing apples, and the "creak" sound of flip-flops stepping on the wooden floor, all overlap perfectly.

After swallowing the last bite of the apple, the core spit out and fell to the ground. Chen Chao suddenly twisted the lock to pull the inner wooden door open.

Across the striped vertical iron railings, the corridor outside the security door was quiet and empty, only the silent darkness passing through the railings reflected a strip of black stripes at Chen Chao's feet.

"no one?"

Chen Chao couldn't help constructing a picture in his mind. A figure stood motionless against the wall of the corridor. Sen Bai's sick eyes were staring at the light from the door without blinking.

gloomy!

Crippled!

Chen Chao hid behind a knife with his right hand, and flipped his foot on the apple core. The irregular core looked like a broken stone and slammed on the iron fence door with a loud "cang-dang" noise.

The noise caused by the sudden collision, back in the narrow and quiet corridor, was clearly piercing and scary, but strangely like a piece of steamed bread smashed into the mud pool, the "gulu" sank in, and quietly connected. The ripples of the water splash did not come out.

"It was in the middle of the night, with such a big movement in the corridor, no one came out to swear. The tenants in the building are all deaf today?"

Chen Chao noticed something was wrong. You must know that he usually turns up the TV volume at night, and the old woman next door will bark in the corridor like a bitch of sex; Various versions and frequencies of snoring sound one after another, like a reverberant speaker with explosive penetrating power playing in the late-night channel, which can be called magic sound.

The rented house in the self-built building does not have a separate toilet. It is a shared toilet in the corridor, which is slightly higher than the dry toilet. It is the kind of ditch-shaped squat pit, and the sparse sound of water can be heard from morning to night.

And at this moment, none of them!

Deathly silence, only my breath and heartbeat are left, as if there is only one living person left in this self-built building.

Could it be that the one who knocked on the door just now...

Ghost

The air he breathed was cold, and the soles of the feet should have been coming up from the ground with a chill. However... the toes on the flip-flops were just a little itchy, they snuggled against each other and scratched. Chen Chao was so terrified.

He is a suspense writer who is terrified! (▼ヘ▼#)

Seeing that he took another step forward, his head pressed against the cold iron fence without hesitation, his cheeks rolled on the door and the keyboard rolled left and right above the door, and his fearless eyes swept across the walls on both sides outside the door cleverly.

The dark shadow as expected was not there. What caught the eye was the wrinkled and peeling wall, the table with solidified oil and the slimy stove, as well as the gas tank hidden at the bottom of the table and the knife rack placed on the wall above the table.

The rented houses in self-built buildings are all two compartments of small suites. They don’t even have separate bathrooms. Not to mention the extravagant independent kitchens. The tenants have always occupied the public space of the water house. The stove can be placed in the hallway at the door.

"The knocker? Where did you hide? I'm about to open the door~"

The faint voice floats in the corridor, the echo without impurities is ethereal and weird!

Obviously he was shouting, but the sense of hearing seemed to be disordered, and the sound quality was strangely cold, not as if it came from his own mouth, but as if it was slowly drifting over from the darkness.

Click!

The lock cylinder turned, and the rusty security door pressed against the ground with a "Zila" rubbing sound and was pushed away. The blocked dim yellow light flowed out with the door, illuminating a narrow rectangular area, and Chen Chao’s shadow reflected In the corridor, half is on the ground and half extends into the opposite wall.

After waiting for a full three seconds, I didn't hear any movement, nor did I wait for the black shadow that suddenly rushed out of a corner, a flip flop stepped steadily out, and then Chen Chao's whole body stepped away. Leave the room and stay in the area where the light is projected.

The distinct light is like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, dim and straight. In contrast with the light, the darkness at the other end of the corridor is even more dark and deep, like a greasy and silent esophagus that leads to a monster's stomach sac.

The rotting stench permeated the air, like a swill pool filled with food residues in the backyard of a restaurant. A hyena soaked in it and nibbling on the carcass of a mouse crawled out of it, and the muddy ** was splashed on the ground by the shaken fur. On the walls, ceiling...

Forgive writers for overly active brain cells, especially suspense writers who are used to depicting such disgusting pictures. Chen Chao couldn't control his imagination after sniffing the smell in the air, which made him suddenly feel a little bit in his stomach. Because of the discomfort, a layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared on the skin of the two arms exposed to the air.

"Courage can block fear, but it can't block the discomfort caused by stench, bad review!"

"Furthermore, in the state of B+ level buff, the increase in concentration will undoubtedly magnify the sense of touch, in other words, the stench is magnified by 1.74 times. What a fucking trough!"

Chen Chao used strong willpower to restrain the gastrointestinal peristalsis crawling out of the anti-acidity of the esophagus, waved a fan to dispel the indispensable air, he was not afraid of the danger in the dark, he even stared at the other end of the corridor with his eyes. I can feel that there is also a vicious look at each other.

"Whether you are a man or a ghost, I thought you would suddenly rush out to get into trouble, but I didn't expect you to plan to suffocate me with the stench. It's really... too despicable and sinister!"

The danger of hiding in the dark seems to be more vicious and cunning than Chen Chao expected!

"As a suspense writer who combines wisdom and bravery, my favorite is the challenge of the coexistence of the unknown and the danger!" Chen Chao raised his fruit knife to the darkness and sneered: "You, wait for me!"

The voice fell to the ground and the lingering sound lingered, Chen Chao hurriedly covered his nose, slammed back into the room, slammed the door shut, and unexpectedly recovered the silence and darkness in the corridor....
