The Grim Reaper Can’t Be Tricked

Chapter 4: One-Eyed Monster (Desperate)

It was a dilapidated wooden house. The floor and walls were covered with a thick layer of moist black moss. The roof and wooden walls were splashed with red paint. It stood abruptly and quietly in front, giving people a strong sense of ominousness and discomfort. sense.

Cen Jin swallowed his saliva, stared at the wooden house, moved his steps, carefully walked around the wooden house, and ran away.

After running for about 100 meters, Cen Jin turned back, the dark red wooden house was still there.

From the small window of the second-floor attic, a shadow could be seen vaguely, but the distance was too far to tell whether the shadow was real or an illusion caused by light and shadow.

Cen Jin turned his head, his expression instantly stiffened, but he saw a dilapidated dark red wooden house appearing ten meters away! It was exactly the same as the dilapidated wooden house behind him, but appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye!

'The cabin in the woods is alive. '

'A person who sees a cabin in the woods can never get rid of it unless he walks in, stays in it for thirty minutes and leaves the cabin alive. '

'Second class dangerous foreign body, medium growth potential, those who can't get rid of it will eventually be swallowed up and become part of the house. '

'It used to be the third batch of freshmen's exam questions, and the pass rate was the lowest, less than 7%. '

'The question is: when it sees you, you quickly realize it's your home. You look at it, then walk in and never want to leave, after all who doesn't love their own home? '

' Candidates are allowed to enter the cabin for 30 minutes, only one person at a time. '

Cen Jin recalled Zhou Man's popular science and exam questions when he talked about the cabin in the forest. He was certain that the cabin in the forest was more dangerous than the other warning areas. The question was 'it sees you' instead of 'you see it'.

In other words, the hut in the woods actively hunts, which makes the person who sees it have the illusion of 'this is my home', and lures the prey to take the initiative to enter the house to rest, like a pitcher plant.

Even if the prey is vigilant and resists the temptation, it can't stand the hut in the woods and keeps tempting.

When people are always tired, once their vigilance drops, they will fall into the trap of the hut in the woods and feel that the hut is a safe 'home' where they can rest for a long time.

With a defense level of ten, plus the patience to kill the prey without letting go, it is no wonder that the cabin in the forest, which is also a second-level dangerous foreign object, has the lowest pass rate.

Time passed, Cen Jin fell into deep thought, and after returning to his senses, he looked at the hut, thinking that as long as he left the warning area before he was bewitched, he would be fine, "You can get rid of it after 30 minutes and leave alive, and the exam question is also 30 years old. Minutes, thirty minutes seems to be the key—"

wrong!

Cen Jin suddenly realized that something was wrong. His expression was terrifyingly serious. He stared at the cabin in the woods carefully. The next moment, his face was ashen as if he had seen something very scary.

"The distance has narrowed."

That's right, while he was in a daze, the hut in the woods, which was originally ten meters away, unknowingly drew closer, and only less than eight meters remained.

This foreign object can be attacked and defended!

Which insect can escape the hunt of a running and jumping pitcher plant? !

Cen Jin turned around and ran for about ten seconds to stop. Looking back at the wooden house, the distance was reduced to five meters, so close that he could even see the spider webs under the porch, and the red wall covering he mistakenly thought had been splashed with paint seemed more like dried-up blood.

Going back, looking back now, he still remembered the location of the fork in the road. It was the junction of the three warning zones. The three second-level foreign objects suppressed each other and should belong to the no-care zone.

It's safe to escape there.

While Cen Jin was thinking about it, the wooden house was brought closer to a distance of three meters. This is the real blink of an eye to get to the front, and Cen Jin glanced again inadvertently, the fear of the wooden house in his heart dissipated a little. .

I don't know if it was because I stared at it for too long, I was used to the existence of the hut, and my mind was full of a clear understanding of the structure of the hut, but I felt that the hut was actually not that scary.

People's fear comes from the unknown, and so is his fear of the cabin in the woods.

Preconceived cognitions and imaginations exaggerated the terrifying atmosphere, and planted the seeds of fear in his heart. When he found that the hut was actually not that dangerous, the original terrifying impression would quickly disintegrate, so after looking closely at the hut, Cen Jin felt that this was a building Very ordinary wooden house.

At most, the style is old, and the appearance is a little dilapidated and gloomy, but through the crack of the door, you can see that the interior is fully furnished, from the woven carpet, the clean dining table to the warm fireplace... It is as warm as home—

Wait, where's the fireplace in his house

Cen Jin woke up suddenly and found that he had stepped on the wooden steps with one foot, but he had no idea when he approached the wooden house!

He froze instantly, and looked at the hut with new vigilant eyes. This is a two-story western-style log cabin, about 80 square meters. There are four hollow wooden steps at the entrance. A black and red drag mark on the steps extends to the porch. There is no door panel. in.

The door was not closed tightly, and a thick rope hung down from the door. A large copper bell was tied to the rope. Because of the light and angle, Cen Jin could not see the shape of the copper bell, but guessed it was a simple version of the doorbell.

His eyes fell on the wall. The wooden walls were covered with black moss, and the walls were black and red, giving off a pungent stench. It was obvious that this was not a dye but the blood of an unknown creature.

The blood that almost covered the entire hut's appearance, and even the wooden boards were soaked, showing a strange black and red color.

Unknown, terrifying, and terrifying attacked my heart. Warm homes and terrifying monsters alternately impacted the senses. Chaos, evil, and cognition were confused. Cen Jin's temple suddenly felt like needles, and his forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. The good thing is that he finally Sober, as if the veil in the brain has been lifted, and regain control of calm and objective judgment.

"The cabin in the woods is alive. It saw me and took the initiative to appear in front of me, bewitching me all the time, and I couldn't prevent it. It would prevent me from leaving the warning area until I was exhausted and took the initiative to enter the cabin and be swallowed by it." Cen Jin whispered, calmly analyzing.

"I left the fork within ten minutes before and after, and ran the farthest one kilometer, but I ran back for three minutes without seeing the familiar scenery, which means that I have been bewitched, maybe like the 'ghost fight' in folk ghost stories. The wall', spinning in place. Others should be in the same situation when they encounter the hut, so Zhou Man will say that when he encounters a hut in the woods, he must go in and stay for 30 minutes before he has a chance to escape alive."

"In the question, candidates are also required to stay for 30 minutes."

"Half an hour may be the time to paralyze the spirits of the living creatures and make them completely relaxed. The cabin in the forest came to life completely and began to swallow and digest. It should also be an opportunity to get out of trouble, but I don't know what caused it."

"Anyway, I must be in the cabin for thirty minutes."

Cen Jin pressed his temples, walked slowly up the steps, swept across the porch floor that had been washed countless times with blood, and came to the door. you.

He pushed open the door directly. Before entering, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the copper bell above his head. Goosebumps arose in an instant and he quickly stepped into the room and slammed the door with his backhand. The moment the door was closed, the copper bell above his head fell, and he followed Cen through the crack of the door. Looking at each other now-

It was a deformed copper bell in which the head of a middle-aged man was fused with a bronze vessel. It was as if the human head was stuffed into a narrow copper bell and the skull was flattened and deformed. The facial expression still maintained the twisted pain before death.

If he rang the doorbell just now, did the copper bell hit him right at the door

Cen Jin retreated, the face in the copper bell hanging outside the door suddenly moved his eyes and followed him, Cen Jin was stunned for a moment, the next moment the copper bell 'bang bang bang' violently hit the wooden door in an attempt to break in.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly took out the sofa, table and chairs from the living room to block the door.

The wooden door was shaky from the knock, and fortunately, it would be impossible to enter in half an hour.

Cen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the interior of the hut in the woods, not noticing the red light of the wrist positioning watch flashing a few times.

On the left side of the entrance of the hut is the living room, the dining room on the right side, and the kitchen facing the door, and the rooms on the left and right sides of the kitchen. There are no balconies in the three bedrooms and two living rooms. The stairs are on the left side of the living room and are also hollowed-out wooden boards.

The living room faces the fireplace. The fireplace is beautifully carved and full of reliefs. It is obviously the same style as the reliefs on the walls, with messy and rough lines, distorted faces and bodies, people and animals, which are barely distinguishable by the dim light. Which reliefs are people and which are animals.

Cen Jin frowned, and found that after staring for a long time, he would feel that the relief came to life, making human and animal screams.

He quickly looked away and looked at the kitchen first, where the knives were complete, and the stove, walls and floor were all covered in blood, as if someone was dismembering the body here.

Cen Jin held a bone cutter, weighed it, and held it in his hand for self-defense. He pulled out a western kitchen knife, wrapped it in a cloth, and tied it to his calf. When he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of a bucket in the corner.

I walked over and lifted the rags on the bucket, and saw a sack full of bloodstains inside, next to a folded ingot incense candle.

Cen Jin thought about it, what else lived here.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing across the stairs, and he was startled. He clenched his cleaver and stared in the direction of the attic. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously climbed up to the attic.

The second floor is the attic, and the living room is in the eye. The ground is full of bulging sacks, stacked high. I don't know what is inside. There is a very narrow road in the middle, leading to the room inside.

He carefully opened one of them, and was relieved to see that it was just the skeleton of an ordinary animal.

"Fortunately, it's not a human corpse."

Cen Jin bent down and got into the narrow road. There were sacks full of animal skeletons on both sides and above his head. It was really scary to think about it.

Shaking his head, shaking off his terrifying thoughts, Cen Jin came to a T-shaped corridor with rooms on both sides and a toilet in the middle.

The toilet door was closed, and the two doors were also closed. The only source of light was blocked by the sack. At this moment, the environment was dark and dead, and only the sound of his own breathing could be heard.

Cen Jin held the bone cutter in one hand and the handle in the other, so nervous that his heart was beating like a drum.

Did not push.

locked

Cen Jin tried to turn it a few times, but the door didn't move at all, so he turned to open another door, which was also locked.

Both rooms are locked, so where might the shadow that flashed by just now be hiding? Or is the door locked from the inside? Is this cabin in the woods the house or the owner

Zhou Man didn't make it clear that the hut is alive, and it can also mean that it has an owner.

If there is a master, where is the master? Could it be the dark shadow just now

Thirty minutes should be a safe time. If he preemptively wins the owner during the safe time, can he replace him as the owner of the cabin

Cen Jin thought calmly, but he didn't realize that the direction of his thinking was beyond the scope of normal people. He actually wanted to use the possible safe time to replace the original owner and become the owner of this weird hut!

Of course, the premise of this thinking is that the owner exists, and Cen Jin's force is superior to the other party.

Looking around the room full of sacks, Cen Jin began to think about the role of the bones in the bag. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the door of the toilet behind him was slowly opening, and it was dark inside, but there was a pale hand with red nails on the door. Reaching out from the inside, it seemed like something was about to crawl out.

Gudong!

boom. Bang, bang, bang... The heart was beating so violently that the pain in the chest.

Cen Jin was unable to move, and stood stiffly in place. He was enveloped in a biting cold from his feet to his hands. The extreme emptiness and fear prompted him to secrete adrenaline frantically. Sweat came out rapidly. what will be.

Something difficult to explain scientifically like 'ghost'? Or 'resentment' or something as contaminated as a ranger? Can it be hit by physical force? Does the opponent possess immaterial power

What are the odds of winning against it

Do not! Can't confront it head on! Can't even be found!

When Cen Jin saw some clues behind the toilet door through the mirror in the crack of the door, he knew that he must not be seen by the things inside, and ran downstairs without hesitation. The sound came from the door, the door panel vibrated, and the furniture blocking the wooden door moved back with a 'squeak'.

Through the crack of the door, Cen Jin saw the face in the copper bell full of fear, and a tall and deformed body was dragging a sack next to it. bloodstains.

The figure bent over, and a twisted and strange inhuman face came into view, with huge erect eyes, a deformed flat head and face, no hair, and two vertical slits on the face, like stitched marks .

Without a nose, under the one eye is a mouth without a lip wall, revealing two rings of teeth nested in each other.

The huge eye was quietly staring at the crack of the door, scanning the wooden house, and using the copper bell to cover it, if Cen Jin didn't hear the knock on the door when he came down and ran down in a hurry, he would definitely be watched.

Thinking about it, Cen Jin was afraid.

But now is not the time to be lucky, because the things in the toilet are about to crawl out.

Cen Jin looked up and saw a strand of black hair hanging down the hollow wooden stairs. He didn't have time to think about it. He had to quickly find a place to hide from the front and rear attacks. The window couldn't be opened and he couldn't jump out. The only way was to run across the living room and into the bedroom. hide.

Maybe the window in the bedroom can be opened.

Cen Jin stared at the eye outside the door, and kept thinking in his heart to walk quickly, as long as the foreign object outside the door raised its head and continued to bang on the door, he would be able to take advantage of this gap to traverse the living room.

The thing on the top of the building has already climbed down, because Cen Jin is hiding in a blind spot, and the thing has not been found for the time being, but its hair seems to be conscious, spreading slowly like countless snakes, covering the stairs, wrapping the wall, and following the wooden steps. Sliding to the floor, a strand of hair was beside Cen Jin, almost touching his ankle.

Cen Jin held his breath, and at the critical moment, the foreign object outside the door got up, now!

He quickly passed through the living room and the kitchen, ran to a guest room on the right, twisted the door and got in. The moment the door was quietly closed, there was a loud noise outside, and the tall monster dragged in the sack, and the contents of the attic toilet also disappeared. Climb down the stairs, revealing a featureless face and look around.

As soon as Cen Jin entered the room, he immediately slipped to the ground, took a deep breath, and felt a suffocating pain in his heart.

After a while, Cen Jin looked at the guest room, the window was blocked, and he couldn't jump out of the window. It seemed that the only way out was the main entrance, but now two monsters were guarding it outside, and he was sure that once he was found, he would never be able to escape those non-human foreign objects.

He is not the third batch of freshmen who can choose to give up the exam and ask the examiner for support. The positioning watch will only be turned on after requesting support. After the request fails, it is just a display.

This situation... is a dead end.
