Soon, the creepy sound disappeared, and one of them spoke softly.
"Where are we going now?"
The place they were in was also a small bus station, but compared to the subway station, it was very old and looked like a building from the 1980s or 1990s. The walls were a little yellow and powdery. It was probably the return of the south wind, and all the walls had some moisture stains. It smelled moldy and had a faint fishy smell.
It's just... this bus stop feels like all the staff are chasing after a star. The wall where the train numbers should be posted is covered with yellowed posters. Without exception, all the posters feature a beautiful woman with long curly hair, fair skin, and a gentle look on her face.
The posters of actresses appeared again and again, and it was impossible to say that there was nothing unusual. Everyone recalled the scene they saw at the subway station before, and they didn't dare to look at the posters for too long. However, there were too many posters here, and unless they closed their eyes, no matter where they went, they would be stared at by those seemingly gentle but actually cold eyes.
Li Fangwan asked: "Mr. Lu, do you know this star?"
They are not from this world, so they don't understand people in this world and naturally don't know what celebrities are.
Lu Yanli shook his head: "I have no impression."
He added: "I like to listen to old songs and watch movies, so if there are relatively famous movie stars or singers, even if they are a little older, I will know them." He paused and asked: "What about you? Do you know them?"
He Lou understood what Lu Yanli meant. This woman was either not famous or she was fictional. He said first, "I don't know her either."
"I don't know him either."
“No.”
Li Fangzhi said coldly: "Should we wait here or go out first? I feel uncomfortable being stared at."
There were posters of women everywhere. When you looked up, there were even posters on the ceiling. It was no wonder that Lai Fong-Chi, who was sensitive about this, felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many identical faces.
Li Fangwan stopped her, "Don't act rashly for now. We are staying in the station now, which means the station is safe for the time being."
The others followed suit, and the yellow-haired young man named Huang Wei couldn't help but ask: "How long do we have to stay here? I feel a little uneasy too." He didn't know if it was a psychological trauma, but he always felt that the paintings would suddenly stick out their tongues and pull him in.
Although Lai Fang-wan looks gentle, she is very tough. She said: "We don't know what's out there yet. Maybe we need to look for clues in the station and find a way to break the situation. Being stuck here is not a solution."
When it comes to finding clues, everyone gets a little nervous.
That sounds nice, but this thing seems to rely entirely on luck. Who knows whether you’ll find a clue or a death warrant
Huang Wei said bitterly: "Alas, my luck is so bad. I still remember the last time I finally found a bag, but just when I was about to pick it up, a hand stretched out from the bag and almost got me…"
Before the word "death" came out, Li Fangzhi suddenly raised her voice: "Shut up and stop talking nonsense, don't you understand?"
Every mission is a life-or-death struggle, and every world is full of strange and terrifying existences that are unimaginable. They have to be careful with every word and action, maybe they can survive to the end, or maybe, their unintentional words will trigger some mechanism, which may cause them to die. Just like the two people before, they just sat down in their seats because they were tired from running, and they never got up again.
The saddest thing is that they can't resist, there is no way for them to fight against terror, they can only keep running away, and keep running away...
Even if it means sacrificing teammates, we must survive!
He Lou ignored the two people who were about to quarrel. They were at most a small group, not a collective. Although they were respectful in words, they would never show mercy when it was time to drag him down with them. Now, it was just because it was not the last moment yet.
A delicate balance is maintained between them. Sisters He Lou, Li Fangzhi and Li Fangwan are trying to find a way to break the impasse, while these people are willing to act as pawns for the time being.
He suddenly turned around and asked Lu Yanli: "What did you see?"
"W-what?"
He Lou explained: "Just now you saw something that none of us saw. Now, can you see anything unusual?"
Lu Yanli was silent for a while: "In my eyes, it's just... a very ordinary old station, with many posters of women..."
He Lou asked, "Is it the same poster? Or slightly different?"
"They are all the same woman, exactly the same, just different in size." In order to answer, Lu Yanli looked around and soon found that on the poster pasted on the ticket window, the woman's smile deepened a little, and her eyes looked straight at him.
He immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to look any further.
What could that be
A light blood mist slowly rose in the air again, drifting in the air bit by bit.
"Let's go first." Seeing that the blood mist was getting thicker, they had to leave and walk in the opposite direction where the blood mist came from.
Lu Yanli followed among them and slowly fell behind.
His eyes quickly glanced at the toes of everyone and his heart felt cold.
Seeing that none of them noticed and were just walking forward along the road, Lu Yanli didn't say much and just followed behind.
Unexpectedly, when they walked to the next empty building next to an empty road, there was still an identical station, with posters of the woman still posted inside and outside the station.
"Have you noticed that her smile has changed?" Someone in the crowd timidly said what no one else dared to say.
Everyone had already noticed it. On the poster, the woman's smile rose a little, blood slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she looked at them with some malice.
There seemed to be singing all around again, faint, soft and gentle, like a soft hand that was dragging people into hell.
The singing became louder, the fog thicker, the woman's smile became more blossoming, and her eyes were filled with cold malice, no longer the gentle image she had when they first met.
"Everyone, hurry up!!"
The singing can confuse people's minds, the blood mist can devour human flesh and blood, and I wonder if these posters can directly eat people like what they saw in the subway station before.
However, just looking at the woman's thin, white and sharp teeth, there is no doubt about the lethality of this face.
Everyone had to run away again, trying hard to think while running.
"Keeping on is not a solution. How long are we going to escape?"
"That is, can't we break the situation?"
They were a little anxious. Li Fangwan whispered as she ran, "Brother Lou, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to the next mission."
He Lou also looked unhappy: "We clearly only received one mission, why is there an extra hidden mission?"
The mission they received at the beginning was to go to the apartment with Lu Yanli and spend a week there. After a week, at midnight, they could return to their own world. This was the reason why they tried their best to protect Lu Yanli. If they went there "with Lu Yanli", who would go in with them if Lu Yanli died? Even if they found the location, would they have to carry the body in?
Of course, as long as they entered the apartment, Lu Yanli's life would not be so important. As long as he could "stay" in the apartment, it didn't matter whether he was dead or alive.
The dead should be more obedient.
He Lou was already prepared. If Lu Yanli insisted on going out after entering the apartment, he would prepare to let him "be quiet".
He had been through too many life-and-death situations, and he had survived many of them. After all, every mission was a life-and-death struggle, and some unlucky people would die strangely on the way.
Therefore, when they encountered the blood mist on the subway, they thought it was just a small checkpoint on the way. Who knew that it would lead to them not being able to enter Lu Yanli's apartment yet
This is clearly a hidden mission! How could they have imagined that there were two missions going on at the same time
If you don’t enter Lu Yanli’s apartment at the specified time... the consequences will be disastrous!
Way out… What exactly is the way out
Blood mist, carriage, woman poster, singing…
Who is this "woman"? Is the blood mist related to her? Is the song really sung by her
"Brother Lou, please find a solution quickly!!"
"That's right! All of our lives depend on you, you can't just run away by yourself!"
"Have you thought of it?"
He Lou was a little angry: "Have you said enough?"
As soon as he said this, he realized something was wrong.
He shouldn't be angry. Anger will affect a person's rationality. Why would he get angry just because of a few words of urging
And these people... They are also people who have returned from several missions and are more or less capable of standing on their own. Even if they want to kill him, they should use him as a shield in the face of terror. Why would they get angry over such a small matter
anger…
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I felt a sudden pain in my back.
"Fuck you! You act like a boss every day, I'm going to kill you today!" It was a tall and thin man in a sweatshirt in the group. After he threw the stone, his eyes were completely red. He pulled out a dagger from his waist, pointed it at He Lou's back and was about to pounce on him.
The others looked at each other coldly, their eyes full of malice and deep anger.
“Kill him! Kill him!!”
"Kill him! Then we can get out!"
Seeing that Li Fangzhi's eyes were about to turn red, Li Fangwan raised her hand and slapped her sister: "Calm down!"
The crowd slowly surrounded He Lou. He Lou took a few deep breaths and also pulled out a folding knife from his sleeve.
Lu Yanli rushed over and stopped the tall and thin man: "Calm down!"
"Get out! Let me go! I'll kill him!!" The man he caught struggled angrily. He was very strong and wanted to stab Lu Yanli with the tip of the knife several times. The latter also felt annoyed. He dodged the dagger and punched the tall and thin man hard in the face, knocking him to the ground.
He could stop one but not the second. The others had been harboring resentment for a long time and were already dissatisfied.
He Lou pulled out his folding knife but did not move. Instead, he held the knife in front of him while breathing heavily.
Singing... Angry...
They smiled after the first song...
He yelled, "Everyone calm down! This song is wrong!!"
"Singing can cause our emotions to fluctuate. The first time we sang, we were happy, but now we are angry. Calm down!"
Joy and anger, will sorrow and happiness follow
Don't dare to gamble.
The loud shout woke everyone up for a moment. The others gasped and tried to curb their impulse. Only the tall and thin man who was knocked down by Lu Yanli slowly got up from the ground.
His limbs were already somewhat stiff, his eyes were cold, his face gradually turned pale, his cheeks were deeply sunken, saliva was flowing unnaturally from the corners of his mouth, and he was breathing heavily.
He no longer looks like a living person.
It's a bit like... a zombie.
He got up from the ground, slowly turned his head, and stared at Lu Yanli with his pair of dark eyes.
"Lao Wu! Stop him!" Li Fangwan screamed without caring about her image.
Lao Wu was the tallest man in the team. He was closest to the tall and thin man. Hearing this, he slowly raised his head and strode towards the two men. However, Lu Yanli did not feel rescued at all. He hid behind the electric pole beside him without hesitation!
Lao Wu was the one he saw walking on tiptoes in the team with an irregular pace! !
Sure enough, almost at the same time, Lao Wu turned a corner and rushed towards him at high speed. Lu Yanli dodged in a hurry, and the other party threw himself on the electric pole with his outstretched hands.
There was a poster of a woman on the telephone pole.
Lu Yanli was panting, his eyes fixed on Lao Wu, and one of his hands just happened to touch the woman's face.
The woman on the poster changed her expression instantly.
In other words, the faces of the women on all the posters from all directions began to change, their faces turned hideous and blue, and their eyes were focused on that hand.
Aren’t you in the same group
Lu Yanli dodged the tall and thin man while making guesses in his mind.
Then, the woman's bright red lips stretched all the way to her ears, and her hand stretched into the poster little by little. Lao Wu struggled desperately, and his mouth made no sound for help. His limbs slowly became soft, and he was sucked into the woman at a rapid speed like a rubber water pipe.
Then, the chewing sound was heard again.
The woman's expression calmed down and she stayed still on the poster.
The blood mist around also dissipated a lot.
This did not make everyone feel at ease, for there was no other reason. The friend who had been able to communicate and cooperate smoothly before suddenly turned into a monster of unknown species. He, or it would be more appropriate to refer to it as "it", had stiff limbs, raised his hands straight up, and his knees were stiff. He jumped and hopped, chasing everyone.
Lao Wu died, and the tall and thin man became a monster. But in an instant, two more members were lost.
Including Lu Yanli, there are only eleven left out of the original fifteen!
If no solution can be found, all eleven people may die here.
"Everyone be careful! Don't get scratched by it!" the yellow-haired young man shouted.
In old Hong Kong movies, if a person is scratched or bitten by a zombie, the injured person will also be infected and turned into a zombie. Although this may not be the same as the zombies in Hong Kong movies, just looking at the other party's long nails that are blue and oozing with unknown liquid, no one wants to try its power.
Perhaps because it had not been transformed for long, its movements were still a little stiff and slow, and the big guys could still dodge it by turning corners, making it impossible for them to pounce on it. In the later stages, its movements became more and more agile, and it was not so easy for everyone to dodge, and they would occasionally brush past its sharp nails.
What's even more terrifying is that it seems to possess a certain degree of intelligence. Everyone tried to use the same trick Lu Yanli used before, but it didn't fall for it.
He Lou and others were hiding while thinking about things.
It seems that the woman in the poster does not distinguish whether the prey is human or something else, as long as it comes across, it will eat it. Every time it devours, the blood mist will dissipate and the singing will fade away. Although judging from the power and the law of time, the new round will definitely be... more terrifying and bloody.
It was as if it could obtain some nutrients from the flesh and blood.
