Volume 1: The Inside and Outside of the World 081 Control your hands

Yang Shu looked at An Yi's fingers, and on the top of the deceased's head, there was a small hole in the messy and dry hair, which he ignored when he checked it for the first time just now.

"Something drained her brain. An Yi added.

"Do you know of any creatures that attack humans by sucking their brains?" Poplar asked.

Anyi and Rachel shook their heads.

Yang Shuchong said, "Yajiu calls for enthusiasm. ”

"Warmly received. ”

"A body was found, the cause of death was that the brain was drained, the murderer could not be judged, and assistance was needed. ”

"Understood. ”

After saying that, Poplar took out the spatial communicator and put the corpse's hand into it.

On the other side, Mo Qiushui also took out the spatial connector, watching a corrupt and swollen hand stretch out from it, he habitually held that hand, and activated his ability to trace the spatial movement trajectory of the owner of this hand before his death.

Mo Qiushui described the trajectory of her actions while perceiving: "She entered the men's toilet, moved back and forth, and after staying in a compartment for a long time, she opened the compartment to trigger the spatial effect, and traveled to another dimension, she walked back and forth, and after hesitating for a long time, she moved to the leftΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

She was getting faster and faster, opening the door for the first time as she passed through the 15th compartment, staying inside for a longer period of time and then moving forward, then opening the compartment door more and more often, the 17th compartment, the 22nd compartment, the 25th compartment, the 27th compartment, she stopped and began to run back as fast as she could, stopped at the door of the 17th compartment, and never moved again"

After speaking, Mo Qiushui opened his eyes and let out a sigh.

"Over. ”

"Understood. Poplar replied, withdrew the corpse's hand, and said to Anyi and Rachel, "Did you hear that?"

"Well, it means that the monster that killed this person came from the 27th compartment. Rachel replied with a nod.

"I understand, too, but I have a question," Anyi said, "The doors mentioned earlier are all open, why are they all closed now?"

"I don't know, I'll ask. Yang Shu shook his head, used the beacon to contact Chu Qiu again, and said, "Qiu Shi, is the one that has been opened mentioned in the previous mission report closed or opened on your side. ”

"Closed. Chu Qiu's answer was short and forceful.

Hearing this answer, Poplar turned to the Book of Listening, "Observed that the previously opened compartment door is now closed, suspecting that this space has a 'manager' or has the ability to refresh itself. ”

"Let's go, move on, go to the 27th compartment. Poplar said lightly, holding a wooden knife, and continued to move forward.

Up to the 25th compartment, Anyi also reported feeling mental stress.

Soon, everyone was in front of the 27th chamber, and there was silence around them, and there was no danger in the slightest.

"Do you want to open the door?" asked Poplar.

"Let's open it, not only to investigate the cause of the man's death, but also to do the first test of actively opening the door of the cubicle. An Yi said, "But let me see if I can use my divine sense to probe inside." ”

"I agree. Rachel also expressed her opinion.

Poplar nodded as well.

After getting everyone's approval, An Yi closed her eyes and let go of her divine consciousness again, and after a while, beads of sweat oozed from her head.

After nearly a minute, An Yi opened her eyes and said, "No, my divine sense can't penetrate this door." ”

"Okay, I'll just open the door and get ready for battle. Poplar said, placing his right hand on the doorknob.

β€œ3,2,1。 After counting down to three, he opened the door with a sudden force with his left hand, and at the same time jumped backwards.

The toilet cubicle door slammed into the wall with a loud "bang", and the space inside was exposed to everyone's view.

An ordinary flush toilet with a roll of toilet paper on the side and nothing else.

"Took the initiative to open the 27th compartment and found nothing. Poplar walked into the chamber and searched it carefully, but there was indeed nothing unusual.

At this moment, in the beacon, Chu Qiu's voice came out: "Enthusiasm uncontrollably opened the 36 compartments, and a male corpse was found inside, the cause of death was excessive blood loss caused by the abdominal wound, and the appearance characteristics matched Li Xing on the missing list, Li Qing opened the door of the 40 compartments before he died, and prepared to go to the 40 compartments." ”

"Understood. ”

Walking out of the twenty-seventh compartment, Yang Shu said to the other two, "Speed up a little and try to keep the same pace as Chu Qiu and the others." ”

On the other side, after a few steps, Chu Qiu and Mo Qiushui came to the door of the 40th compartment.

"Yajiu and they tried to use their divine sense to probe the internal space before, but failed, so let's stop trying and just open the door. Mo Qiushui said.

Chu Qiu nodded, put his hand on the doorknob, and said, "Be careful." ”

β€œ3,2,1。 Counting down to three, Chu Qiu opened the door of the compartment and took a step back at the same time.

A black shadow burst out of it and pounced towards Mo Qiushui at an extremely fast speed.

Mo Qiushui had already prepared, rolled on the spot, dodged the attack, and got up to look at the black shadow.

The creature looked like an enlarged version of an octopus, with tentacles writhing around it, a tube behind it, and a sharp, spiraling mouthpart in front of it.

"D-class zerg, whirlrodents. Chu Qiu saw the details of this monster at a glance, and stood up in front of Mo Qiushui.

The tube behind the whirlrodent suddenly spewed out a strong burst of gas, and under the reaction force, the body of the whirlrodent rushed towards Mo Qiushui like a bullet again, and its mouthparts were at the front, used to destroy the enemy's body surface in order to burrow into the body to lay eggs.

It's a pity that this time it met Chu Qiu's fist, the sharp mouthparts collided with the black fist glove, and after a moment, it became a mass of minced meat, and the fist glove only flashed a burst of spiritual light, unscathed.

"Are you okay?" asked Chu Qiu without looking back.

"No, it's fine. Mo Qiushui replied in shock, "Is this whirllodont the murderer who killed Li Xing?"

"No, the whirlrodents will lay eggs in the body of their prey, and the larvae will devour the internal organs, so let's go, keep going. ”

The deeper he went, the more oppressive and agitated the poplar felt, and as he walked, he turned his head from time to time to look at the closed door of the cubicle, often feeling an urge to open it and find out.

It feels like a sore on the sole of my foot, and I know that the more I scratch it, the more it itches, but I can't help it.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is getting worse and worse, the ground that was originally just a little dirty is now a cross-flow of sewage, the gray walls are also eroded and peeled off, full of moss, and the overhead lamp is not only dim, but also flickering and dimming, setting off the atmosphere extraordinarily depressing and grotesque.

Upon reaching the 56th compartment, Rachel suddenly seemed to lose control, reaching out to try to open the door of the 56th compartment, but was quickly stopped by Poplar's eyes.

An Yi also hurried to catch up, and crossed a spiritual power to calm Rachel's spirit.

"Inuya had a first runaway of control as he approached the 56th chamber, which was stopped by Yajiu and has now stabilized. After Poplar recorded the incident, he turned to Rachel and asked, "Rachel, how did you feel just now?"

"It's like, there's something you want to scratch or you see a row of books in a row that feels untidy. Rachel did her best to describe it, "Anyway, it's uncomfortable not to do it." ”

"Isn't it that these compartments have a particularly strange and uninhabited feeling," Poplar asked, "as if something that would not have moved has moved, making people want to fix it?"

Both Anyi and Rachel nodded affirmatively.

"In the 54th compartment, zeal spiraled out of control again, and the door to the compartment was opened, revealing a ghoul inside, which had been killed. Chu Qiu's voice came.

Along the way, because Mo Qiushui's spiritual resistance was weak, Chu Qiu specially slowed down.

"Is it a coincidence that the two sides are happening almost simultaneously?"

"Keep going. Thinking to no avail, Poplar decided to move on.

One cubicle after another passed by, the gray-white doors were always spotless, unchanged, and the ground under his feet, the chandelier overhead, and the wall on the right side became more and more old and stale as he moved forward.

One side is constant and repetitive, and the other is constant and changing.

The surroundings were incredibly silent, there was no sound, no smell in the usual toilet, no threat, why, I was so depressed and afraid, as if some weird, evil creature was hiding in the shadows, watching over me.

The more Yang looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and the irritability in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he wanted to open the door of the cubicle, destroy this strange atmosphere, and find peace of mind.

Suddenly, a very strong feeling of being watched came from the compartment in front of him, as if something extremely dangerous and evil was hiding behind the thin door.

The feeling in Yang Shu's heart exploded suddenly, and his head fell into chaos for a moment, and he stepped forward quickly.

He grabbed the doorknob and, forcefully, pulled back.

His emotions seemed to be released, his brain came to his senses again, and behind the door, on the toilet lid, there was a head.

"Poplar, don't!" An Yi's voice came from behind him and entered Poplar's ears.

Yet he stood still, motionless.

"What's wrong?" Rachel followed, looking inside the door, also frozen.

The moment he saw the head, Yang Shu's brain exploded, and he recognized the head, which was on the list of missing persons, number 17, Li Xing.

Similarly, it was also the corpse found by Chu Qiu before, and Chu Qiu mentioned in his previous report that the corpse was intact, and there were no other wounds except for the abdominal injury.

"Why, his head is here?"

Poplar opens the 62nd compartment.

On the other side, Chu Qiu looked at the corpse leaning against the door in front of him, and his face was also full of horror.

The corpse, dressed in cleaner-style clothing, leaned silently against the door of compartment 57 to the right, from the starting point.

"Qiushi, Li Xing's head was found in compartment 62. ”

"Yajiu, the body of the female cleaner was found in compartment 57. ”

Their voices rang out at the same time.
