The room style, decoration, and furniture items were obviously what would have appeared in Yi Chen's previous life. Combined with the Duke's words, the conclusion was obvious.
"Is this a real gambling game created by the Duke based on the memories of my previous life in my brain?"
Yi Chen was not in a hurry to get up, but checked his physical condition first.
"Little grape!"
Following the cry of consciousness, a fleshy pink mouth opened on the back of the hand and revealed a young eyeball.
"What's going on? I feel as weak as an egg. I can't see things clearly... I even have trouble seeing the details of the screws by the window."
"It should be that the Duke restricted and weakened us. My situation is the same."
Yi Chen could clearly feel the weakening of his body and abilities. Even the plants in his body became 'younger', with their quantity, toughness and hardness all greatly reduced.
Swish~
A emerald green root sprouted out from the palm of his hand. It couldn't even penetrate an ordinary book, but only poked a small hole.
The only thing that is less affected is the body.
The body trained by Teacher Zed still has the ability to 'adapt to pain' and strong 'ability to withstand blows'. Although he is only eight years old, he still has eight abdominal muscles, and the muscle lines all over his body remain the same.
It's easy to beat up an adult with this body.
There is another important issue - equipment.
Yi Chen immediately got out of bed and searched the bedroom, and soon found a black children's suitcase under the bed.
There are three vital items in the box.
A well-made silver-plated hand axe, a sawn-off shotgun with symptoms removed (still fed by corpses), and a black suit in the style of an elementary school student.
“All the equipment is here, but they have been weakened... Or rather, the Duke temporarily created weakened versions of the equipment based on their properties for me to use in the gambling game.
It is even possible that even this young body of mine was temporarily made by the Duke based on the characteristics of my body."
The camera pulls back to reality. Inside the Duke's fat body cavity, Yi Chen's real body is wrapped in a membrane filled with white fat fluid, and his entire body is connected by nerves.
When Yi Chen figured this out, his real body spit out a few bubbles, which did not affect the progress of the gambling.
…
Stand upright in front of a large oval mirror on the wall.
Yi Chen changed into a well-fitting student suit, with the axe and gun worn at his waist, covered by the suit, and skillfully tied his hair into a centered bun.
Although he is only eight years old, this outfit makes him look much more mature, and he won't be kicked out of the Internet cafe directly.
"Next, we need to figure out the situation and try to meet up with Yuehen... Even if he is suppressed, he is definitely stronger than me."
Opening the bedroom door is the entrance hall on the second floor, opposite is the parents' room and the stairs leading to the first floor.
Same cleanliness as the bedroom.
This two-story house is extremely clean and tidy. There is no flaw in it. Even if you walk barefoot on the floor, you won't get any dust on it.
I just walked down the stairs to the first floor.
The Samoyed that had appeared outside the bedroom door with its parents immediately came over, standing one meter apart, and kept wagging its tail at its little master Yi Chen.
The metal plate hanging around the dog's neck is engraved with her name - Xue Rui.
However, even if Yi Chen called her by her name, Xue Rui just wagged her tail faster and always kept a distance of one meter.
Woof woof~ Xue Rui roared and led Yi Chen to the restaurant.
Corn flakes with milk and fried eggs with ham were placed on the dining table. It was a hearty breakfast made by my parents. The fried eggs were even specially made in heart shape.
After simply confirming that there was nothing wrong with the food, Yi Chen still chose to eat.
Xue Rui sat obediently beside him, her eyes fixed on her little master.
After breakfast, Yi Chen moved to the window of the living room and observed the situation outside.
A quiet and comfortable tree-lined street, with townhouses equidistantly arranged on both sides of the street. The exterior decoration style is exactly the same, and it even feels like "copy and paste". You can't even see the end of the townhouse when you lean against the window.
"At present, I have not figured out the true intention of the gambling game, nor have I obtained any clues that point to it... Let's search my 'home' in detail first."
When Yi Chen was searching the first floor, Xue Rui would always follow him wherever he went.
Only when we stepped onto the stairs to the second floor did Xue Rui not follow us, or rather, there was no need for her to follow us.
This feeling of being monitored reminded Yi Chen of his parents' words.
"My parents specifically told me to stay at home when they left. Is this dog's role to ensure that I don't go out? What will happen if I leave home by force?"
With this conjecture, I returned to the bedroom.
Crunch, crunch! The young sprouts of plants drilled through the window gap and opened the external lock.
Just as Yi Chen tried to stick his head out and was about to jump out of the window.
On the front lawn below, Xue Rui had arrived early and was looking up at the little master in the window.
"Sure enough..."
After confirming that he was being monitored, Yi Chen slowly retracted his head.
Leaning against the window, I carefully observed the street with the visual enhancement provided by the small grapes to capture more information.
After some observation, I found that almost every building had a child 'imprisoned'.
Like Yi Chen, they could only stand by the window and watch the situation on the street, and could not go out. They also had a pet to monitor them, mainly cats and dogs.
Not long after,
A postman on a black bicycle appeared on the empty street.
Although he is a postman, he wears a gentleman's suit and a tall hat. When passing by each house, he will accurately throw the letters in his hand into the vertical mailbox at the front yard.
The postman even tilted his head and gave a special look to the children in each house, as if telling them the important characteristics of the letter.
The same situation occurred when passing by Yi Chen's house.
"This is a clear indication. I have to find a way to get the mail outside the door. The only problem at the moment is this dog. I should be able to kill it with my current equipment and abilities."
But if a pet dies, it may trigger a "chain reaction", so it is better not to create too much commotion before getting more information about the gambling game. 』
Yi Chen left the bedroom first and tried to go to his parents' room on the second floor.
Kaka~It’s completely locked and can’t be opened even by picking the lock.
Even the crack in the door was blocked by something, so the plants could not penetrate it. Since he had not yet figured out the gambling information, Yi Chen did not plan to force the door open.
Back to the first floor,
Xue Rui still sat obediently by the stairs, wagging her tail constantly.
Yi Chen pretended that everything was fine and walked to the kitchen, opening the spacious lower cabinet. Taking advantage of the fact that the dog always kept a distance from him, he used his body to block Xue Rui into the cabinet.
Bang!
He kicked the cabinet door shut and then dragged a chair over to lock it shut.
The moment he completed this action, Yi Chen's calves were already tensed and he ran towards the front door on the first floor at full speed!
Follow the stone path in the front yard to the vertical mailbox in front of the gate.
Card!
When the rusted mailbox door was forced open, piles of mail poured out.
There were hundreds of identical letters stuffed inside, and Yi Chen grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket.
As he turned to go back to the house,
The well-behaved Xue Rui was already squatting at the door, but her body looked a little strange, as if something was wriggling inside her.
The children from the nearby houses all gathered at the windows, casting glances of pity or fear.
Some even covered their eyes with their hands and looked through gaps between their fingers, as if they were about to see a very scary scene.
Swish!
Xue Rui's dog's head tilted up was split in the middle.
As the dog's head completely cracked... Swish!
A bright red arm without skin stretched out from the neck.
Then came the other hand, and then the torso.
The bloody and skinless upper body of a woman emerged completely, her black hair covering her horrific skinless face, and canine teeth from a dog's head spread across her arms.
The dark-eyed boy stared at the disobedient "master" in front of him.
Swish!
The spine connecting the human body to the dog's body suddenly stretched, making the creature's overall length reach four meters.
The dog's body is responsible for stability and rapid movement.
The female body supported by the extended spine is responsible for killing and devouring.
Yi Chen was not frightened by the scene before him, but was stunned when he saw the true appearance of "Xue Rui". Some dark memories that had been blocked deep in his memory overflowed.
