Volume 7: Escape Room (61)
Outside the door of the restaurant, E Jingbai, who was with Yan Mi, did not intend to participate in the "torture" and "pit abduction" inside, and was seriously controlling the spiritual power that wanted to run wild and depicted the protection spell on the rune paper, the power of the drought demon itself belongs to destruction and destruction, and he has never tried to use this passive protection method for thousands of years, instead of directly using violent suppression to protect a person, so the painting is very hard. In fact, Lin Yingkong, who is good at defense, has already given Yan Mi several defensive magic weapons, but he is still a little uneasy, and finally drew one, so he quickly folded it and stuffed it into Yan Mi's personal pocket, no matter how good he is, the charm containing the power of the S-rank humanoid weapon is enough to triple the attack of the ill-intentioned person to fight back, and Yan Mi doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter, E Jingbai will not let anyone who dares to do this retreat.
After putting the talisman away, he suddenly wanted to laugh a little, even if he became a zombie that everyone feared, for thousands of years, he still did not change his principle of killing all the harmful people in the world when he was a human being, he made himself an oath to kill innocents indiscriminately when he was thirsty for blood, based on the back of the sun, but he was so extreme that he couldn't see any dark and dirty, but now even if Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong gave him face and didn't suspect Yan Mi for the time being, he couldn't convince himself to rule out the unidentified Yan Mi and Luo Cheng, Yan Hao was suspected of having a relationship, but he still wanted to protect him - there was no reason, he just did it.
Yan Mi had been staring at his movements, expressionless, and he didn't know if he was curious or in a fugue, until E Jingbai put the talisman on him, and he slowly fanned his eyelashes. Such an action combined with Yan Mi's appearance made his whole person look unrefined and indifferent, as if he was indifferent to everything around him, and even touching him was disturbed, but E Jingbai knew that his nature was not so cold-blooded, seeing that he didn't ask or speak, and it wasn't like before when the two of them were chatting face-to-face with text, E Jingbai couldn't help but open his mouth to break the atmosphere of too silence: "I'm sorry." ”
The sudden apology seemed to catch Yan Mi off guard, he couldn't react, and let out a confused monotone in a daze: "Huh?"
E Jingbai has never tried to have this kind of embarrassment and embarrassment for thousands of years, "I just wanted to say that I would take you out to play, but I didn't expect ...... "Play is indeed play, but it's playing with life."
"Oh," Yan Mi was at a loss, "so why are you apologizing?"
E Jingbai explained very seriously: "It was my fault to take you to a very dangerous place. ”
Yan Mi was even more dazed, "Did you know this was a dangerous place before you came?"
E Jingbai shook his head, this was a mistake by the members of the field team of the entire General Office, they didn't expect things to develop to this point, and they were somewhat underestimated.
Yan Mi asked again: "Do you know that Luo Cheng and Yan Hao are coming?"
E Jingbai shook his head, if he knew, he would have tied up these two people before Xu Ye and Ah Hao appeared in front of them, and whoever was involved in those two scourges would be unlucky!
So Yan Mi looked at him with an inexplicable look, "Why does Xiaobai apologize?" He thought about it and said sympathetically: "It's okay, they lied to you, although you are stupid, but I support you to beat them." ”
E Jingbai, who was still a little guilty, was choked up all of a sudden: "......" I think I want to beat you up now, thank you."
Mr. Dry, who felt that he would die of anger sooner or later, ignored him, and listened to the movement inside, but Yan Mi suddenly called his name: "Xiaobai." ”
"Huh?" Although he just said ignore him, as soon as the other party spoke, E Jingbai still subconsciously responded-he is a facial paralysis, and he can't show him his face, and can this dead corn understand what a face is? He himself is also a facial paralysis!
But Yan Mi stopped talking after shouting, and E Jingbai, who wanted to look at him coldly, endured it for half a minute, but couldn't help but turn his head, and unexpectedly found that the other party was rarely in a daze.
In fact, Yan Mi often wanders outside the world, usually because his brain makes up some strange things, and he has more contact with him, E Jingbai can fully imagine how happy and strange his inner theater is when he is in the fugue, but at this time it is different, although the indifferent face given to him by God hides all the facial fluctuations, E Jingbai can also see that he is in a daze, that kind of daze with a heavy heart, to be honest, this is very unusual for Yan Mi, whose heart is so wide that there is almost "no one in his eyes", and it is so strange that E Jingbai can't help but feel a little sullen," Yan Mi?"
Yan Mi finally came back to his senses, he seemed to be confused, "Xiaobai, I ......" He was always straightforward, he actually wanted to speak and stopped, "Am I a human being?"
E Jingbai was stunned, thinking that Lin Yingkong had asked him to pay more attention to Yan Mi's affairs before, although he had doubts about Yan Mi's true identity, but Yan Mi's question did surprise him: "You don't know yourself?"
Yan Mi was even more innocent, "Why do I have to think about whether I am a human or not?"
E Jingbai: "......" makes sense, but he was speechless.
Yan Mi's palm was attached to his left chest, and the inner pocket was the protective charm that E Jingbai had just stuffed for him, and he asked so seriously: "If I wasn't human, would you dislike me, Xiaobai?"
E Jingbai had a feeling of ridicule, "I'm not human...... he paused, "How can I dislike you?"
Yan Mi was not happy, he lowered his eyelashes, his tone was still unwavering, his face was still indifferent, his voice was low, and there was no ups and downs of sadness or pain, "Although many people think I don't look like ...... But Xiaobai, I want to be a human being. ”
E Jingbai's heart and lungs were instantly pinched, and she felt a faint pain.
He suddenly understood that Yan Mi and him could be friends, and it could even be said that they were attracted to each other - he was a human among zombies, and he was an outlier among humans.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was completely different from the outside, and Ning Bao told them a story in such an atmosphere.
The world always has light and darkness coexisting, just like Bai Congqiu swept the hunting grounds in the supernatural world with an axe, but he did not violently suppress it one after another, after all, this kind of thing can only be contained, not eliminated, and Qi En is such a fish that slipped through the net. How many years has he been playing in the party on the surface, how many years has the hunt in the secret lasted, of course, Ning Bao, Zhang Li, and Huang Duo have not joined for a long time, and when they were ordinary human beings, even the seemingly honest and timid Huang Duo was an anti-social character, but he was afraid of the law and his limited ability and did not dare to do anything too out of line.
Six or seven years ago, the order established by the Spirit Security Bureau was not perfect, they once woke up, and there was no one to guide and restrain them, after getting to know each other to form a small team, they had the idea of being high, and they joined forces to do a lot of out-of-the-ordinary things, two or three years ago they were introduced to Qien's party, Ning Bao They played a few times and found that nothing happened after they let go of their courage and threw themselves into it thoroughly, and soon entered the hunting ground because of this unscrupulous character, compared to now, at that time they were crazy enough, dare to do anything, three times and two clicks with Taihang, Zong Yule's gang got along, and it was easier to become friends with "like-minded smells".
To be honest, they don't know what kind of identity Qi En is, after all, this circle is mixed, and if you don't have this ability, you are smart people who ask less, and Qi En is indeed capable enough, and he is willing to spend money to play, and when the prey in the hunting ground is not enough, he lures a group of ordinary humans who are eager to get power, and they are captive to stimulate their abnormal abilities, train their fighting skills, observation, escape level, etc., and then throw them into the hunting ground, and strive to hunt for fun and fun.
Well, if there are good hunters, there will naturally be excellent prey, and after one of the prey was put into use, they found that several of them always skillfully avoided the massacre and survived until the next hunt. When the hunters noticed and concentrated on trying to kill them, they even set up a chain of tricks to dodge the overwhelming cats and rats, and escaped from the hunting ground with a group of people.
This was definitely a slap in the face for the hunters, and they violated the rule set by Qi En that "nothing in the playground can be taken to the outside world", and they also gathered a group of people to chase them out of the hunting ground, and Ning Bao and several of them were one of them. In fact, no matter how those prey are trained by Chien, they are essentially low-level aliens, lacking the advantage in the game field, their strength is vulnerable in the eyes of a group of hunters, perhaps because of this, the hunters who have nowhere to vent their anger decide to play slowly, chasing them all the way and letting them go, annihilating their hopes little by little, and even many prey fled back to their homes in a panic, and the red-eyed hunters also followed in batches, killing the relatives of those prey one by one, tortured the prey to death, and told them with facts that even if they got the magical power that ordinary humans dream of, they are just a group of ants that can be crushed to death casually in the supernatural world.
At that time, this incident was very troublesome, and it took a long time for Qi En to clean up the aftermath, and many of the hunters who calmed down were uneasy, after all, at that time, the spiritual safety bureau had taken over the order issue in the supernatural world, and the punishment was not light, but I didn't expect Qi En to be very clean after the aftermath, and no fire burned to everyone, and then he just casually mentioned to them that they should abide by the rules of the hunting ground in the future, and everyone calmed down, and even felt that this was just a trivial matter, and in the next few years, Qi En's hunting ground games were more varied, bloody and exciting, and over time, the people who participated in this matter at the beginning forgot about the matter, Ning Bao is no exception, but the reason why he remembered this incident and was deeply frightened by it originated from another opportunity.
Two days before Singles' Day, Ning Bao received a rumor that this game might be an annual event, which was a big deal in Qien's ordinary games, so he called Zhang Li and Huang Jinduo to sign up together, but that night, he had a dream.
In the dream, he recalled the scene of hunting prey at that time, the hunters pursued in batches, and the impression was that he followed Hu Hui, Hu Hui did not look amazing, his strength was average, his personality was usually sunny, but in essence, he was a character who liked to kill and abuse, he was excited when he saw blood, and he was crazy and did not recognize his six relatives, even Taihang They had to retreat, Ning Bao's feet were a few steps slower than him, and when he chased to the prey's house, he casually killed a few neighbors who were curious to come out to watch, and Hu Hui in the house had already turned on the slaughter mode, a family of four was nailed to the four walls, even the baby in the swaddling clothes did not let go, Hu Hui stood in front of the fleeing prey, Judging from the body shape, it can be identified that it is a young girl, but unfortunately the human skin of the upper body has been peeled off by Hu Hui's bare hands, and the lower half of the body is intact but naked, and Hu Hui is intoxicated in front of her dying parents to play with, and when the interest comes, she also tears her flesh and blood with her teeth, swallowing into the stomach, she hurts, she is angry, and frightened and unbearable, screaming and wailing and begging him to let him go, Rao is Ning Bao killed several people without blinking, and was also disgusted by this scene and couldn't eat for a few days.
And in the dream, he relived the process of skinning, the prey just dragged the bloody body to crawl on him, at the same time there were countless stumps grabbing his feet, human heads biting his flesh, the ghost dragging his soul down to the netherworld, Ning Bao couldn't break free from the dream no matter how angry he scolded or begged for mercy, and finally, the prey lay on his shoulder and whispered to him in an intimate lover-like whisper: "We are back." ”
Ning Bao was scared enough, at first he thought it was just a nightmare, but after he bumped into Feng Rong and a few of them on the day of check-in, his premonition became more and more bad, and he repeated this dream during the nap, and the last words of the skinned girl became: "Shhhh ”
I'm right there with you, waiting to kill you.
Immediately, Ning Bao was horrified to find that everyone he saw was faintly entangled in ghosts, they were grimacing at him, provoking him, but Ning Bao didn't dare to say, he knew that this was an illusion, everything he saw was illusory, because he had the ability that no one said - he could predict, predict every moment of his life and death, and those illusions were his instinct to scream and remind him to flee.
The ability of foreknowledge helped Ning Bao avoid countless dangers, but none of them made him feel that he could not avoid death in the face of death.
The next thing also verified his prediction, because in the time when the prey escaped from the game field, the rules of the game were to let the prey play the killing game first and decide the order of their deaths, and all the hunters hunted the prey in order, and even in the middle of the game, Huang Duo killed the wrong person by mistake with one hand, and then Taihang, who was supposed to die first in this game field, killed Huang Jinduo, Hu Hui was skinned alive, and the eliminated person entered the prison of death...... So in the end, can their group of former hunters still have lucky survivors?
Ning Bao trembled his voice and told about his fear, he was really scared, but he didn't dare to tell others, he was afraid that he would die faster as soon as he opened his mouth, so he could only try to get the attention of the Minister of Spiritual Law - look, no matter how many people he killed, he was still very afraid of death.
Outside the restaurant, E Jingbai, who listened to it word for word, looked even colder, he had never seen such a disgusting thing, he had nothing to do, so Yan Mi, who was poking the figure, was suddenly in a bad mood when he saw him, thought about it, and grabbed a handful of corn candy for him, E Jingbai was stunned, and immediately cried and laughed, but he still peeled one and put it in his mouth, the faint sweetness spread on the taste buds, and he felt that the tyrannical air surging in his heart slowly precipitated.
"Why aren't you happy?" asked Yan Mi.
E Jingbai no longer paid attention to the conversation between Feng Rong and Ning Bao, and helped him gather the pile of colorful wool, this young man seemed to be able to live in his own world forever, even if a bunch of people died around, he could still do his thing calmly, "I am not unhappy, I just feel that many good people in the world are not good to die, but bad people are not afraid of retribution." ”
Yan Mi took a while to understand his words, "Do you want to say that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years?" he was a little entangled, "But I think it's very uncomfortable to live too long." ”
Although he was a little bull-headed, E Jingbai still lost his mind for a moment, and bent the corners of his mouth for the first time, but there was not much smile on his lips, "But everyone wants to get strength and live forever." ”
In the restaurant, Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong thought of another thing, they got two clues in the haunted house and the abandoned building, one is the wooden card spelled out "Seeing is false", and the other is the envelope "Shhh
No matter how scared Ning Bao is, what he does really can't make people feel the same way, although Feng Rong didn't show disgust, but his face became more and more indifferent, looking at Ning Bao as if he was looking at a mouse, not disdainful, and not in his eyes. Ning Bao was more and more flustered by him, and then he saw Lin Yingkong's expression that had never changed with his lips bent, he still smiled at Ning Bao, and asked, "You said that you killed all the prey that escaped back then, so are you sure that the hunters who are chasing you now are themselves?"
"I'm sure it's them, they're alive!"
"Resurrection is not an easy thing, do you know how they came back to life?" Lin Yingkong was a little strange for him to be obsessed with this, the soul returned to the underworld as soon as a person died, and it was basically impossible to come out again, he didn't think that they would be so kind to cast a spell to prolong the time when they were taken away by the ghosts, leaving the souls of the dead in vain to wander around the world, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
"I don't know, but I just know they're resurrected!" Ning Bao shouted nervously, "they're going to kill everyone with their own hands, leaving no one behind, not one ......"
Ning Bao's mood fluctuated too much, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would scare himself to death before the hunter found him, Lin Yingkong was a little suspicious that he was drugged by the hunter and wanted to make his death more painful, so he slowed down his voice and changed the topic: "Do you remember what kind of prey escaped back then?"
