"Calm down, Lu Jin."
Lin Huai's voice was lingering, like spring water flowing with ice, but it had the power to calm people's hearts. Lu Jin on the other end of the phone seemed to be comforted, and his flustered voice calmed down a little.
"Originally, Lin Dangdang and Shao Wei wanted to commemorate their love in the Midnight District, and then called me, Lao Tan, and her roommates together. Everything was fine at the beginning, we bought tickets, entered We went to Dream Valley, and then we discussed which haunted house we should go to... "
"When we were about to reach the Midnight District, Shao Wei yelled, what happened in front? I looked up, and the whole Midnight District seemed to have turned into a maze, with a lot of grass... no, the wall formed by bushes , like the mazes made of grass in the gardens of noble castles in Europe, but there are still many tourists in front, and some people are selling tickets. Shao Wei was very happy, saying that he hadn’t seen the entire Midnight District upgrade in half a year, and it was still far away. We could see the old haunted house inside, so we went in without thinking about anything.”
"After entering, we found out that behind the grass wall is the midnight area, but the whole midnight area seems to have become a maze, full of fog, roads and walls everywhere, and then there are those haunted houses, the haunted houses in the propaganda , but it’s even bigger than what the little red book said. Apart from us, there are other tourists, who are also very excited, saying that the midnight area has been upgraded to such a high level after a month of closure. Because of the maze, we all remember The previous roads are gone, the maze turns and turns, and there are random haunted houses everywhere, Lin Dangdang said, let's enter one randomly to play... "
Speaking of this, Lu Jin sniffed and continued: "By the way, before we went in, there was a staff member in a doll costume at the door who issued a passport to each of us. There are 18 spaces in the passport , he said, every time you pass a haunted house, you can put a stamp on it, and you can leave if you save up to eighteen stamps... "
Lu Jin is worthy of being a student of a key university. Although he looks like an autistic gamer every day on weekdays, when he encounters danger, his thinking and memory are very clear, and his narrative ability is also very reliable. Lin Huai understood what he said almost without any effort.
Visa... Stamped... Lin Huai's eyes darkened, and he said, "All of you have this passport?"
"I have taken them all..." Lu Jin said in a low voice, "Is there any problem? I see that all the tourists who came in have taken this visa."
"It's nothing." Lin Huai said, "Go on."
He felt that this so-called passport was like a common prop in a copy of the game.
"Then we punched in the first place, which is called Poppy Orphanage, like an upgraded version of the haunted house we went to play before. Shao Wei was very excited, and Lin Dangdang was also very excited at first, but she was walking Suddenly his expression was not very good, and he said that something was wrong. Shao Wei and I didn't take it seriously at the time. Shao Wei also said that girls are always too sensitive..." Lu Jin sniffed hard, "We should all believe it Lin Dangdang, she said she doesn't want to play, we should go out... "
"Actually, they might not be able to get out at that time." Chu Tianshu suddenly said beside Lin Huai.
He was obviously also listening to the conversation between them, and his brows were furrowed.
Lin Huai looked at his watch, then looked at the scenery outside, seized the time and said to Chu Tianshu: "Hurry up, we are far away from Dream Valley..."
"About twenty-five minutes." Chu Tianshu said.
He said, whistled, and stepped on the gas pedal.
"Continue to talk—is your current situation safe?" Lin Huai said to the other side of the microphone.
"It's safe for the time being. I'm hiding in a place now. No one else is coming..." Lu Jin said, "But Shao Wei and the others..."
"Don't worry about them, you're going to die if you go out now." Lin Huai said, "You are very good at this. Since that place is safe, you should stay here obediently and don't come out. Then, open your mouth now and send you away." Tell me all the information you gather."
Lu Jin blocked his nose and hummed, and nodded vigorously.
Lin Huai tapped his knee unconsciously with his fingers. He watched the scenery passing by outside the window and thought about the midnight area.
Lin Dangdang has always been a lover of supernatural novels and works. It is quite normal for her to read many infinite stream novels, so it is no wonder that she was the first to notice the abnormality.
"We entered the Poppy Orphanage, and there were several tourists with us. But this time it was strange. The staff were all dressed in black, their faces were painted white, but their lips were bright red. Let us go in and have fun , You can stamp your passport when you come out." Lu Jin said quickly, "But those staff members are too strange, I can't tell what is strange, but they are very strange. Ye Fei and Shao Wei are very excited, I We were embarrassed to speak. We opened the curtain and walked into the haunted house, and the staff stared at us and smiled behind us. Their faces were pale, but their mouths were red, like an upturned line, as if watching It's as if we were sent there alive..."
"Then, the orphanage was different from before. There was no guidance, no level prompts. But fortunately, Lin Dangdang still remembered the plot a year ago. She took us to find clues, piece together diaries and stories. But in Huaqiang When looking for the key, Ye Fei said that there was a hand in the flower wall that grabbed her, and that hand was cold, not like a human hand... "
"Zhou Xue (Lin Dangdang's roommate) said that it was not a hand but a hand of friendship, and joked that she would reach in and shake that hand. At that time, we had collected the last clue, but she squatted down. Reaching in. She reached in and was still laughing when someone grabbed her hand, and then her expression froze...”
"Something is pushing hard inside, dragging her in abruptly! Shao Wei went up to hold her, and Lao Tan did the same. I stood farther away and didn't have time, but the strength of that hand was too great! They The two didn't hold back, and the whole flower wall was shaking! The ivy seemed to have many hands waving inside, and then she sank completely!!"
"Shao Wei was not reconciled. He reached out and patted the flower wall to find her, but it turned out that the inside of the flower wall was hard, and there was no soft place at all, or a place where people felt that they could hide. Chen Xiu (Lin Dangdang's roommate) said that there might be people under the flower wall. There is an agency secret channel, comforting us that we can find someone when we go out, and there is nothing we can do. Shao Wei yelled at the sky and asked the staff to hand over Zhou Xue. At this moment, Lin Dangdang suddenly said, let's decrypt the code and leave here. Tell Shao Wei not to call..."
"We kept going outside, and quickly untied the dog hole, and arrived at the poppy garden where the orphan's favorite teacher was buried. There were many red flowers in the garden, and the red flower was the exit in the distance. We all breathed a sigh of relief, Fortunately, I came to play once last year and knew the plot, and it came out soon. But when Tan Xiruo saw the pile of flowers, his face changed drastically. Before that, he kept telling Chen Xiu that these levels were used to scare us. Zhou Xue must have been taken away by the staff and was waiting for us outside. But when she saw the flowers, Tan Xiruo said that they were real poppies! They were not props! Planting poppies is illegal, and it is impossible for an amusement park to set up Breaking the law in just one scene!"
"Then Chen Xiu saw a little girl in a tattered white dress in the poppy garden. The little girl was holding a doll with one eye missing. The little girl said she knew where her companion had gone. Chen Xiu said Where have you been, the little girl said..."
"'She was with my teacher, all underground, and fed the poppies!'"
"We saw corpses in the blood-stained land, in the poppy fields blown away by the wind... there was Zhou Xue's body buried alive in the ground with only one face exposed, and she was lying in the soil..." Lu Jin said Began to speak incoherently, "There are more than a dozen rotting corpses. They stood up and rushed towards us. We ran, ran... out of the poppy field."
"As soon as we ran out of the gate, the gate was closed, and all the evil spirits were roaring at us from behind the iron railing. Shao Wei was protecting Lin Dangdang, his arm was injured, and he was bleeding... the few staff members were standing at the gate Smile at us, applaud us. Chen Xiu wanted to quarrel with them, but was stopped by Tan Xiruo. They said that if you collect eighteen stamps, you can leave the Midnight District and go to the Central Tower to exchange for rewards... "
"We left there. Chen Xiu and Tan Xiruo argued why they stopped her. Tan Xiruo said..."
"The arms of those staff members are full of corpse spots!!"
"They... no, they are not human at all!"
Lu Jin's voice was trembling, as if he was still immersed in the fear just now. Lin Huai was keenly aware of one point, and said, "Zhou Xue stayed in the Poppy Garden, what about the others?"
"Others... We started arguing next. We wanted to find the exit, but we couldn't get out. We got lost in the maze and arrived at the new haunted house. Shao Wei kept bleeding, Tan Xiruo carried Shao Wei on his back, Lin Dang Dang wanted to take Shao Wei away earlier, but Chen Xiu and Ye Fei refused to enter the haunted house again, and wanted to find the way out by themselves. After a quarrel, they left by themselves... We were hesitant to enter the haunted house again, but we saw Several people were killed by masked ghosts... They said that if you wander outside the haunted house for more than half an hour and don't go in, you will be killed... "
"So, we can only go in again behind Shao Wei's back. Lin Dangdang said that it is better to go in earlier than later. She also said that this midnight area looks like a copy of an infinite stream novel, which needs to be collected one by one. Qi Zhang can pass the level... "
"This dungeon is a dilapidated hotel. We hid in the room and played hide-and-seek with a ghost. But we have never played this game. In the end, Shao Wei stayed in it. Lin Dangdang desperately wanted to run back , I dragged her out. After she got out, she cried."
"After that came the next haunted house, an art gallery. Lin Dangdang stayed in the painting and asked Lao Tan to go out with me. I took Lao Tan out, but Lao Tan rushed back and told me to stay outside and call the police. I called I made countless calls and only dialed you."
"There is another intersection that is Dream Valley." Lin Huai said, "Give me your address."
Lu Jin reported his address, and then he was stunned and said, "What are you doing, Lin Huai? Hurry up and call the police!! Don't come in..."
"It's useless to call the police in this kind of place." Chu Tianshu moved his head closer, "Stop talking nonsense and save some energy, we'll be here soon."
"it is good… "
With that said, the red light arrived. Chu Tianshu took out his mobile phone to send a message. Lin Huai said, "Who are you sending it to?"
"Cheng Yubao." Chu Tianshu said, "Isn't City S the domain of the Cheng family?"
Chu Tianshu sent the message to Cheng Yubao, and Cheng Yubao quickly called back. He knew that Chu Tianshu ran the train with his mouth full, but he knew that Chu Tianshu never joked about big things. After finishing speaking, he frowned and said, "I'll go there right away."
Cheng Yubao asked the family members to follow him, and called Zhou Ming by the way.
Not connected.
And here, Chu Lin's car was followed by another car.
The person in the car is Zhang Minge. He stared at the cars of the two people in front of him with dim eyes.
Lu Jin put down the phone. He said to the girl in white skirt curled up next to him, "Don't be afraid, the police will come to rescue us soon..."
The girl in the white dress didn't speak, and there was only calm despair in her eyes.
That face is... Cheng Yuxian's face!
