The hour hand of the clock rotated slowly, and Lin Huai fixed the doll on his back.
When the time was approaching "6", Lin Huai pushed the door of the room open with his paw.
No one was outside.
He looked around, and this vigilance was something he hadn't experienced for a long time.
"For many years, I just kept my head down and rushed forward. I didn't expect to stop to appreciate, stop and go, but I can see many different scenery."
After passing by the blackened blood mud in the corner for the third time, Lin Huai couldn't help sighing from the bottom of her heart.
Yes, for many years, relying on his identity as a fierce ghost, he only knows how to beat other ghosts violently, but he has never carefully appreciated the little easter eggs and small scenery left by these ghosts to ordinary players. He never noticed it before, until today, he didn't realize that this is a kind of disrespect for art.
"When you have time in the future, you can occasionally pretend to be panicked and play with those ghosts, just like playing with little girls before. Before killing them, show them more respect." Lin Huai is very humane thought in the spirit of ideology.
But this is only for him after leaving 402. Compared with the powerful himself, now trapped in the cat's body, he is weak, pitiful, and helpless.
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, at the moment when the most basic survival needs cannot be met, Lin Huai does not intend to practice her humanitarian spirit for the time being.
As the saying goes, the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs. Now Lin Huai is very worried about whether she will be killed by Spider Woman and Mud.
The skill "You are not fighting alone" has a time limit, and Lin Huai reckons that it is almost approaching the effective expiration time of the skill.
In fact, he could have stayed in the little girl's room, quietly waiting for the duration of the skill to expire, and then returned to his body, but...
"Leave a cat to die for me. If this kind of thing is said, people will definitely laugh at it..." Lin Huai said to herself, "Oh, I am really a good person."
Entering the corridor, the familiar three colors of grey, yellow and blue are indeed what greets our eyes. Lin Huai glanced at the big bedroom.
There is no "person" there.
He tiptoed along the wall of the corridor all the way.
The bathroom door was locked, and the frosted glass was blurry, making it difficult to see what was inside. There was a faint cold wind blowing from the crack of the door, even if he just passed by, Lin Huai could still feel a bit of coldness penetrating into the marrow of his bones.
This detail is enough to see that the bathroom is also quite extraordinary. Reminiscent of the little girl's burial place being the freezer in the bathroom, Lin Huai had no doubt that as long as he opened the door, he would be able to see something that would allow him to be buried here.
But he is optimistic.
"But as long as someone doesn't put their face on the ground and blow me through the crack of the door, it won't be a big problem." He thought, "Otherwise, I would be covered in saliva, how dirty it would be."
Although the point of concern is slightly different, Lin Huai has indeed maintained a fairly stable mentality, not falling into the high IQ qualities that every male protagonist of infinite stream novels should have.
The corridor has come to an end, and the living room, kitchen, and entrance are within easy reach. Lin Huai also caught a glimpse of Spider Woman's back reflected on the frosted glass door.
On the frosted glass, a woman is standing, as if she is cooking something. Through a layer of glass, Lin Huai could also hear the "bang bang" sound of the rising steam hitting the lid of the pot.
Once there is a fight here, the glass door of the kitchen will be pushed open. And the two will also fight in the kitchen, so there is a certain chance that Lin Huai will be seen during the battle.
Perhaps it would be a time to sneak across the living room at this time, lurking behind the door, waiting for the mud to open the door inward (thereby hidden in the shadowed area behind the door, from being seen), waiting for it to enter the kitchen and then quickly slip away. Great choice, however…
Lin Huai, who is good at thinking, judges others by himself, thinking that there may be a greater danger buried in this plan.
for example…
Who can be sure that what is reflected in the frosted glass is Spider-Woman's back, not her front
What if she just pretended to show her back, but was actually facing the frosted glass and staring at the scene in the living room
Lin Huai has always been good at empathy, and is not afraid to try to figure out other ghosts with the greatest malice—that is, the scary actions he will have. He judged others by himself, and felt that if he were Spider-Woman, he would really do such a thing.
"Phew, if the person standing here is not me, who is experienced in many battles and has an incomparable understanding of scaring techniques... If someone else is here, he may have fallen into this deadly trap. 402, what a terrible opponent."
After fighting wits with the air, Lin Huai finally decided to adopt the safest plan.
He squatted in a corner, waiting for the mud to come.
"Ding dong."
It was the sound of the elevator arriving!
The sound of the elevator door opening and closing came from outside the door. Lin Huai lay quietly on the ground, her blue-green eyes staring at the gate of 402.
"Gulu... Gulu..."
Unexplained ravings came from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of mud dragging on the ground.
Something... came out of the elevator!
The handle on the door began to turn slowly, and with the "click" sound of the mechanism opening, a strong sinister air full of malice also came from outside the door.
After the loud noise of opening the door, pitch-black mud flooded in from outside the door.
"Ho Ho... Ho Ho..."
It is hard to imagine that this strange creature made of black mud can still move. It was a substance somewhere between grease and mud, dark and foul-smelling. With every step it took, Lin Huai could hear the scalp-numbing rubbing sound, and the "ho ho" panting sound from its mouth that smelled of alcohol.
The dark creatures are like sludge, destructive. Everything it passes along the way is absorbed into its body, including coins on the ground and dropped beer caps. It has no eyes, only a wide open mouth, and the inside of the mouth is also flowing mud.
The direction it goes straight to is the kitchen behind the frosted glass.
The kitchen door was squeezed open by the black mud, and Lin Huai hid in the corner watching all this.
"what!"
The screams of women and the sound of fierce fighting came from the kitchen again. Taking advantage of the fact that the two were torn into a ball and had no time to take care of herself, Lin Huai rushed out from the dormant corner like an arrow from the string!
"Roar!"
Spider Woman saw the silver figure flashing past, and she howled angrily, trying to catch up to it. However, the mud buried her completely, making her unable to move.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Lin Huai rushed to the elevator!
Only three steps away from the elevator!
When reaching the elevator, Lin Huai stopped suddenly.
"1"
The elevator is still closed, but the number on it shows "1".
Not "4".
What does it mean
Did the elevator go back to "1" after the silt left, or...
Someone pressed the elevator on the 1st floor
Lin Huai stared at the "1" tightly, and before he had time to think about the next strategy, a voice came from behind.
"Huai Huai?"
It was the voice of a youth.
The moment Lin Huai heard that voice, Lin Huai's pupils suddenly shrank.
He turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on room 401.
that voice...
Lin Huai moved away from the elevator and walked towards room 401 step by step.
and stopped in the hallway.
It was a voice he was all too familiar with.
—Chu Tianshu's voice.
The dark door separated him from Room 401. Lin Huai stood in the cold corridor, and the voice came from Room 401 separated by a door.
The youth's voice was still coming from inside.
'… How will you be here? Lin Huai made a sound with difficulty.
"After solving the matter, I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you, and then I entered this room inexplicably." An all-too-familiar voice came from room 401, "Are you okay?"
Lin Huai was silent for a moment: "I'm fine." '
"That's good," said Chu Tianshu in Room 401, "It's good that you're fine."
Lin Huai: '...um. '
"Oh, why can't this lock be opened." There was a sound of twisting the doorknob from inside the door, as if someone was anxiously trying to figure it out, "Let me see..."
Lin Huai: ...
He stared fixedly at the charred door of Room 401, and pursed his lips tightly.
"Oh, here is an instruction manual. This door has to be opened from the outside." The person inside said, "Huaihuai, can you open the door for me?"
Lin Huai: ...
'Do you have to open it from the outside? '
"Yes, this door is one-way." The person inside said, "Huaihuai, open the door for me."
Lin Huai looked at the handle on the scorched black door.
Just twist it like this...
But he didn't move.
'Is it really impossible to open it from the inside? '
"Oh, can I still lie to you? Are you so wary at such a young age?" The familiar frivolous tone was still there, "Come on, open the door for me, it's easy... no, it's easy."
Lin Huai remained silent.
'Today I am not in a good mood. ’ he said suddenly, ‘you have to ask me first, and I will open the door for you. '
The person in the door: ...
Lin Huai: "Well, I really want to hear you beg me with this voice."
"It's not pretending." Lin Huai patted the door with his paw, "It's not his style to open the lock."
After saying this, he ran into the corridor slowly, jumped on the spot, and pressed "1".
Behind him, the voice continued to come.
"Huaihuai, I can't get out here."
"Huaihuai, open the door for me, will you?"
"Help me open the door."
"Help me open the door."
"Open the door."
"Open the door."
"Open the door open the door open the door open the door open the door open the door open the door..."
Endless voices came ferociously from inside, the figure inside the door seemed to have entered the brink of rage, and the sound of hitting the door kept coming from inside.
Lin Huai turned a deaf ear to this.
"Trying to pretend to be him, you've chosen the wrong strategy from the start because..."
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a very strange sound in the elevator.
Lin Huai:?
Before he could react, the entire fourth floor seemed to be boiling!
The original gray-blue-yellow corridor turned blood red and flickered constantly, like an extremely dangerous alarm signal.
Lin Huai:?
"What..." He took a step back, but suddenly had a guess in his mind.
The elevator seemed to be stuck on the third floor, which took a lot of time. After that, a very strange sound came from inside.
At the same time, there was a bark in front of Lin Huai.
A long black shadow appeared in the corridor.
It's that dog!
It seemed to have wandered back along the corridor, looking at Lin Huai who was carrying the doll, it arched its back, gritted its teeth, and made a warning sound.
"Wow woof!"
Simultaneously with its sound, there are intensified knocks on the door and roars that do not resemble human voices in 401.
"Wow woof!"
The husky arched its back and made a whining sound. It stared at Lin Huai, as if he was its father-killing enemy.
Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly. At this moment, in the 402, there is also the sound of mud movement.
The two monsters in 402 seem to be coming out too!
However, the cat surrounded by all the monsters showed a strange smile when he heard the sound in the elevator behind him in this almost desperate situation.
Then, it unexpectedly fell down on the ground!
The husky & the mud crawling out of the room & the spider woman crawling out of the room & 401 who is frantically knocking on the door:?
"Don't you want to know how you were exposed just now?" Lin Huai, who was lying in front of the elevator door, swept the ground with his tail, and smiled when he heard the weird voice from the elevator door behind him, "If you are locked inside If the person is him, he will not pick the lock, but... "
There was an eerie clicking sound from the elevator doors behind him.
That sound was more like a scream than a mechanical sound. It was as if someone had forcibly entered this field without permission.
"Instead..."
Before he finished speaking, his body rose into the air.
Lin Huai groaned, and lay on the opponent's shoulder.
"Long time no see. It's quite lively here." The young man who just used tools to force open the elevator door hugged him into his arms, as if he didn't see the ghost next to him, and only talked to the cat.
As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and looked at the lively scene in front of him.
"Didn't anyone tell you not to touch other people's cats?"
