The World Below Surface

Chapter 8

Views:

People like them would have no sympathy for those who came from the same world as them, let alone NPCs from another world, so it was natural for him to sit in the living room and watch Lu Yanli busy himself.

Huang Wei connected the video to the TV and everyone sat together to watch it.

The beginning of the scene was a little shaky. They watched Lu Yanli pass through the ticket gate, enter the door and turn a few corners. What came into view was a tall glass wall. Behind the wall was the deep blue sea with bubbles and countless colorful marine fish.

"This is the largest viewing area in the aquarium." Lu Yanli's introduction was heard on the screen.

The picture moves, and it can be seen that Lu Yanli is walking along the glass wall, and he seems to be enjoying the beautiful sea view. Then, he steps back, probably to let the camera take a panoramic view.

"When I followed him before, I could only go outside the door because I was afraid he would find me. So I didn't know where he went to visit. So I had to take pictures of all the scenery in the aquarium. Please judge for yourself."

Lu Yanli muttered to himself as he backed away. He seemed to adjust the strap of his bag and aimed the camera at the glass wall.

There seemed to be only countless fish and various sea creatures.

A sea turtle whose age was unknown swam slowly by.

I have to say that Lu Yanli's photography skills are quite good. If we don't consider the current urgent environment, we can probably still appreciate the beautiful ocean scenery he photographed.

But now... who wants to see the view

In order not to miss key information, they had to sit down and read carefully, for fear of missing some clues.

About five or six minutes later, the sound of frying food could be heard from the kitchen, and the TV screen finally changed the picture.

"Now, I'm going to the next slightly smaller viewing area and see if there's any staff I can ask."

The camera footage shook as the owner walked, but unfortunately, the aquarium was empty and cold, and today was a weekday, so he didn't run into anyone.

At some point, the people in front of the TV began to stare at the screen intently, their hearts rising and falling as the camera moved.

It was as if... as if something was going to happen in the next moment.

There seemed to be music playing in the aquarium.

A soft female voice, an unknown dialect, a song you've never heard before... it makes you hooked at the first listen.

Lu Yanli seemed unaware of anything and was still looking around, but the faint singing he recorded had already captured everyone's mind.

Very sad…

The pain, sadness, and unwillingness of being betrayed...

Why are you doing this to me? Why? What did I do wrong

Why do I have to put up with this? Why can't I just live in peace

The song grew increasingly sharp and piercing toward the end, and the water in several tanks in the aquarium seemed about to splash.

The people in front of the TV were completely immersed in the woman's painful and sad singing.

At the end of the lyrics, there finally appeared lyrics they could understand.

Those are the three words that appear over and over again:

Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell, go to hell…

In the kitchen, the sound of chopping vegetables gradually overlapped with the singing, forming a strange rhythm.

Lu Yanli seemed not to hear the singing outside. Tears were falling from his eyes, but the ticket in the pocket of his clothes was slightly warm.

Another ticket is voided...

Lu Yanli was busy cooking. After a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was ready, he pushed open the kitchen door, carefully placed the plate on the table, and then blew on his scalded hands.

The living room had completely changed. Except for Li Fangwan who was still sitting there motionless, everyone else was crying and wailing.

The limbs of one of them were already somewhat stiff.

Lu Yanli dodged the people who were about to smash his head on the ground and came to the TV.

The camera that was originally only shooting scenes in various scenic spots was suddenly raised up, and then the camera was aimed at Lu Yanli's own face.

The familiar face smiled on the screen: "Did you hear that?"

“Pah.”

Lu Yanli turned off the TV, picked up the vase beside him and smashed it hard on the TV.

In an instant, the glass shattered.

The singing stopped abruptly, and a loud bang made the crying people stiffen and then slowly calm down.

He Lou shook his head. He was the first one to wake up. After recalling what just happened, his pupils shrank: "Did the singing sound appear again just now?"

"Yes. Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, the next song will most likely be..." Lu Yanli did not say it explicitly.

"I was cooking in the kitchen just now and didn't hear the singing. Then it got louder and louder, so I hurried out to turn off the TV." Lu Yanli's face was a little pale, his eyes were red and there were traces of tears on his face. He was obviously affected.

"Is everyone okay?"

The other people gradually woke up. As for the one with stiff limbs... He Lou asked, "Do you have any glutinous rice at home? Bring some over quickly."

According to the information he searched, Lan Zhiyu was not raising a ghost at all, what she raised were actually zombies!

After He Lou posted some posts on certain websites, a user who called himself Wuwei Daoren replied to him, saying that to prevent a person from becoming a zombie, just take him to the sun before he becomes a zombie, sprinkle him with glutinous rice and chicken blood, and then use copper coins to suppress him. If there are wounds, they should also be washed with glutinous rice. After the black air has dissipated, let him cross a fire basin, bask in the sun, etc., to eliminate the negative energy in the body.

This reminded He Lou of the zombie movies he watched when he was a child.

The man whose limbs gradually became stiff and whose face turned blue was Huang Wei. He Lou, Li Fangzhi and Feng Chuchu held him down and controlled him under the sunlight. The latter was gasping for breath and struggling continuously.

The nails on the outstretched hands gradually turned black and sharp...

"I'll look for it right away! Wait for me!" Lu Yanli immediately ran to the kitchen to search. He Lou held him down and shouted, "Do you have chicken blood? Chicken blood will work too!"

Lu Yanli also responded loudly: "No!"

"hurry up!"

"Right away! It will be done soon."

As he spoke, Lu Yanli had already found a bag of glutinous rice: "I found the glutinous rice! How do I use it?"

"Just scatter it! Aim it right!"

Lu Yanli came hurriedly with a big bag of glutinous rice, grabbed a handful and sprinkled it on Huang Wei's head.

Like pouring a few drops of water on hot oil, a crackling sound continues.

Seeing that it worked, Lu Yanli quickly sprinkled more, from the beginning to the end. The white glutinous rice was sprinkled on the stiff body, and suddenly white smoke came out, with a sizzling sound that did not stop. When it fell to the ground, it had turned into a black unknown object.

"Keep going! Quick!"

A bag of glutinous rice was about to be spread out, and the struggling Huang Wei finally calmed down. The dark spots on his skin gradually faded, and human skin color slowly appeared, and his breathing also slowed down.

He Lou breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since the tall and thin man turned from a zombie back into a human after being burned at that unknown station, he suspected that the transformation of a person into a zombie could be reversed within a period of time. Burning with fire was too extreme, and he was unwilling to use this method unless it was absolutely necessary.

Therefore, he used Lan Zhiyu's clues as bait and posted messages on several special websites, which resulted in a large number of responses in a short period of time.

Now it seems that the method provided by that person was correct.

Huang Wei survived the ordeal, but his soul was about to fly away. He was pinned down by three people, and his head was covered with black and white glutinous rice grains, which fell down when he moved. Huang Wei said with a bitter face: "Brother Lou, can you let me go now? I feel like I have recovered."

After hearing his words, He Lou finally felt relieved. Several people stood up, dusted themselves off, and looked at Huang Wei, who was lying on the floor gasping for breath.

"I'm much better now, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I'll stay here in the sun for a while." Huang Wei said weakly.

Lu Yanli brought him a chair, then took the broom and uncomplainingly swept up the glutinous rice scattered on the ground.

Honestly speaking, being an NPC to this extent, Huang Wei's rare conscience began to feel a little uneasy.

"Well, could you please bring the food over to me later? I'll eat here." Huang Wei probed.

"Okay, do you eat spicy food? Do you have any dietary restrictions? I'm afraid the food I cook won't suit your taste." Lu Yanli smiled gently.

He is always patient when facing dying people.

"Whatever you like." Huang Wei had already smelled a little of the aroma of the food and felt that it shouldn't be too bad.

What's more, no matter how bad it tastes, can it be worse than moldy bread full of maggots

Huang Wei didn't know if it was a sequelae, but he always felt that the sunlight was particularly dazzling. However, when he thought of zombies, he was afraid of the sunlight, so he forced himself to sit in the sun, turning over from time to time to ensure that his whole body could enjoy sufficient sunbathing.

The group quieted down, packed up, and sat at the dining table to eat lunch.

The video recording definitely cannot be watched anymore, so He Lou can only ask the person himself.

Lu Yanli was also confused and said, "But... I didn't hear any singing when I was in the aquarium."

So... where did this singing come from

Lu Yanli's answer made several people feel a chill in their hearts, especially Huang Wei. He almost turned into a zombie and now has no strength left in his body. If he accidentally heard singing again, he would definitely be the first one to change!

"Didn't you encounter anything unusual in the aquarium?"

Lu Yanli shook his head: "No, there were very few people in the aquarium today, and I barely met anyone. I walked around all the places, even the men's restroom, and just came back."

He checked the time, lowered his voice, and pointed upstairs: "He should be there soon."

The group fell silent.

After a tasteless meal, the clock slowly turned to two o'clock.

According to the pattern discovered by Lu Yanli, the neighbor should be going out.

He... No, it, will it see the body at the door

The sound insulation of this apartment is pretty good. If it weren't for the loud noise like chopping meat in the middle of the night every day, most sounds would be hard to hear clearly.

He Lou was still unsure of the species of his upstairs neighbor, so he didn't dare to open the door to confirm, so he had to ask everyone to put their ears close to the wall and listen.

With a "bang", the sound of the door closing reached my ears, neither loud nor light.

Is he going out

Lu Yanli's door was facing the elevator entrance. Feng Chuchu was called over by He Lou and stared out through the peephole.

After a while, Feng Chuchu came down from the door, shaking. Lu Yanli was standing by the window, and Huangmao was sitting lazily next to him, basking in the sun. After a while, Lu Yanli said, "He's gone."

He saw the man striding away, carrying an extremely large bag.

Upon hearing this, He Lou and others immediately gathered at the window and watched the tightly wrapped black figure leave.

Somehow, He Lou always felt that this figure was a little familiar.

"Gone? Is he really gone?"

Feng Chuchu glanced at the cat's eye again, and this glance made him feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and he fell backwards heavily to the ground.

"Then why... why is it still red when looking through the cat's eyes?"

"Red? How can it be red?" Lu Yanli walked over in surprise and took a quick look at the cat's eye. "No, are you seeing things?"

He helped Feng Chuchu, who was shivering all over, up and said, "Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night, or you were under too much pressure and saw it wrongly?"

As he spoke, Lu Yanli looked directly into Feng Chuchu's eyes, and his voice had a hint of strangeness.

“Impossible, I clearly saw it just now… I saw…” Yes, what did I see

Feng Chuchu shook her head: "Maybe I'm really under too much pressure, maybe I saw it wrong."

Lu Yanli said amiably: "Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while? I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"good."

Now Feng Chuchu couldn't help but feel grateful to Lu Yanli.

He is a little stupid, but he is really kind.

Feng Chuchu couldn't help but ask: "Wouldn't someone bully you in your daily life?"

Lu Yanli seemed a little confused: "Bully me? How could that be? Everyone is very nice to me." He waved his hands repeatedly, "Just like you treat me, you are so nice to me and saved my life, of course I have to repay you."

He said it so seriously that Feng Chuchu didn't know whether he was sincere or sarcastic. Seeing that there was nothing to do for the time being, he really turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

Lu Yanli's previous observations were correct. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the figure appeared in the community on time. The difference was that the large package he was carrying was gone.

On the third floor, several people were crouching behind the curtains and saw the figure walking towards the apartment.

This time Feng Chuchu refused to look through the peephole no matter what. Everyone leaned against the wall to listen, and heard another slam and the sound of a door closing.

Night falls quietly.

Huang Wei had been basking in the sun for an entire afternoon and felt like he was getting tanned. However, he was still a little worried and planned to continue basking in the moonlight on the balcony in the living room.

Moonlight is also the refraction of sunlight, so it should be useful... right

Early the next morning, when Feng Chuchu got up, she found that the bed of Huang Wei, who lived in the same room with her, was empty.

"Brother Huang? Brother Huang?"

No one was allowed to leave the house. No one knew where Huang Wei had gone so early in the morning. Feng Chuchu lowered his voice and called for help, but he searched every room and couldn't find him.

He felt a sudden panic for no reason and woke up Lu Yanli who was sleeping on the sofa.

"Have you seen Huang Wei?"

"Huang... Huang Wei is missing?" Lu Yanli was confused for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly.

"Yes, he is gone."

"Could he have gone out? No rush, call him." Lu Yanli sat up immediately.

Hearing this, Feng Chuchu immediately dialed Huang Wei's phone number.

"Love till death..."

A ringing sound came from upstairs, through the ceiling.
