Chapter 026 ID: Forest (Knock on the Door)
"Bang Bang!"
The knock on the door came again, Fang Liang and Lu Ming stood up, but the doctor covered his ears in pain, the whole person seemed to be infested by a nightmare, his eyes and mouth were big, and his lungs were also wheezing hard, but no sound came out.
The two of them each carried a kerosene lamp and a flashlight in their hands, and they tried to avoid phantoms as much as possible.
This, after all, is the power of a curse, and even just getting lost in place within the clinic can trigger certain laws of death.
It's just that the illumination range of a kerosene lamp doesn't seem to be as stable as the light source of a flashlight.
Even though Fang Liang and Lu Ming were carrying kerosene lamps, the interior of the clinic was still ghostly, and the painful moans of patients and the figures of them who couldn't help but scratch themselves became clearer and clearer as the two entered the darkness.
The clinic is like an old recorder, under the interference of some abnormal magnetic field, many photos of the past have been burned.
Fang Liang and Lu Ming understood why the doctor wanted to escape, although his home was about to be swallowed by the forest, the situation here was obviously worse.
"Bang Bang!"
Fang Liang and Lu Ming tensed their nerves and approached the main gate step by step.
Touching the curse is indeed a lethal act, but it means that there is a chance to get information.
Blindly avoiding may be able to exchange for temporary safety, but as time goes by, there is no progress in the investigation of intelligence, and the player will die sooner or later.
As they walked, the two talked softly, and they had proven that talking in a low voice indoors would not cause monsters to attack.
Lu Ming: "My reason tells me that it's best not to open the door now, to avoid unintended complications." ”
Fang Liang: "It's not necessarily a monster outside the door, because monsters are not polite enough to knock on the door, and it's the front door." ”
Lu Ming's mouth twitched, feeling like he was cursing silently: "Then what if the monster has wisdom and is an open-door killer?" ”
Fang Liang: "I probably have a little bit of the power of the curse, and if I use it reasonably, I should be able to keep the monster out." ”
Lu Ming's eyelids drooped and shrunk into an expressionless slit: "I still think it's not a good idea to open the door." ”
Fang Liang didn't blame Lu Ming, because Lu Ming's reaction was indeed normal: "But the goal of our mission is to investigate the curse power. ”
"It gets dark so often that you have to consume fuel, planks, nails, and even weapons every night to survive the night."
"Always hiding like this, the mission plot lacks progress, and every night is plagued by darkness, hallucinations, and monsters, even if there are no other players in Copperpot Town to grab the refuge resources, when we run out of resources at hand, it will be difficult to act!"
"While we still have the resources we have on hand, I can also use the power of the curse to prevent accidents from happening, and this is my chance."
After listening to Fang Liang's statement, Lu Ming had to nod and admit the facts.
Although Lu Ming hates to force himself to face horror and strange things, he must face the truth and fear to investigate this matter in order to find the key to the power of the curse from their respective information and intelligence.
Besides, the potential value of this game is really huge, and it may help them solve the problem of making a living after graduation in the future.
To some extent, Lu Ming didn't want to be the one who lagged behind the most among the four, which could be regarded as vanity.
"Bang Bang!"
The knock on the door sounded again, and Fang Liang and Lu Ming walked through the corridor and approached the entrance.
The planks were mostly patched and nailed with planks, but I was still able to see through the gap and see the endless darkness of the night outside the door.
Listening closely, no breathing was heard, there was no one at the door, and the knocker seemed to have left.
"The interval between each knock is about 60 seconds, and if there is no knock again within 15 minutes, open it and take a look."
The power of the curse dead line effect will take on a completely different form depending on the user, and Fang Liang does not need a specific red marker pen as a symbol to be able to directly activate the power of the curse.
The reason why Duan Jianmin used it like that, on the one hand, was that his curse was out of control, and on the other hand, because he didn't want to use it indiscriminately, so he needed to use the red marker as a premise to restrain the curse without a safety valve and safety mechanism.
Theoretically, lines are references, and Fang Liang can activate the curse by casually issuing an order, and lines are not a necessary condition.
In the dark, the attention span of the person is constantly magnified, and the speed of time seems to become very slow.
However, in the light-free environment, time flies imperceptibly, and dusk and night always fall quietly.
Both Lu Ming and Fang Liang's foreheads were a little sweaty, but for a long time, the knock on the door stopped sounding.
Fang Liang was ready to trigger the curse at any time, and at the same time, he also pressed against the door, slowly twisting the handle.
"Click."
The door opened, and the illusion of trying to climb into the clinic room was blocked out by the light of two kerosene lamps.
Except for the area illuminated by the light, which is less than 2 meters, the distance is as dark as an abyss, and the outline cannot be seen, and the material cannot be distinguished.
Fang Liang's gaze swept left and right, and he soon found that there was no scarecrow or other monsters outside the door, but a package was placed.
"Trap, or cursed power routine?"
Fang Liang consciously reached out to pick up the package, and the package outside the crack in the door actually entered his backpack space with the movement.
"Absolutely, it's not a trap."
Fang Liang confirmed that there was nothing left on the ground, so he decisively locked the door and quickly returned to the room with Lu Ming carrying the lamp.
Hearing the two open the door and come in, the trembling doctor raised his head: "How is it, has the guy who knocked on the door been driven away?" ”
Fang Liang extinguished the kerosene lamp and took out a package from his arms: "I don't know which kind person put it outside the door." ”
The doctor's face was full of doubts, and he grew his mouth to say something, but found that everyone's eyes were calm, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.
Fang Liang was not ambiguous, and took it back to the room and opened the package on the spot.
However, to Fang Liang's surprise, it was not a strange and evil object inside, but a simple and heavy black pistol, and two boxes of boxed pistol bullets that were fully packaged and smelled like history.
Other than this weapon were two batteries, a piece of hard-standing bread, and a few messy rags.
His eyelids jumped, and Fang Liang found a ball of paper from the rags.
Unfold the paper ball, and an unfamiliar handwriting comes into view.
"Hey guys, it seems like you've figured it out over the past few days, and you've finally decided not to fool me around with a scarecrow anymore!"
"When I learned that the investigation team still hadn't given up, I felt extremely happy in my heart, and even cried tears of emotion, a warm and soft white light gradually filled my missing heart, giving me the courage and hope to live."
"But I have to criticize you now, you've been there for too long, don't you think I can't see it!"
"I was so angry that you ran away without saying a word, completely ignoring my feelings, and I didn't even realize that you ran away! But I'm not going to blame you for this, anyway, I hope that your investigation will make some progress as soon as possible, and I have recently collected a lot of supplies, which can be regarded as a free donation to you, so I should support the investigation. ”
After reading the paper ball, Fang Liang had a strange expression, and the others also looked at each other, looking at the investigator costume on his body and falling into thought.
It was obvious that Fang Liang and Lu Ming had triggered some kind of underlying mechanism, causing a certain being to mistake them for members of the investigation team, and even so excited that they personally knocked on the door that night to deliver supplies, and the relationship between them was absolutely extraordinary.
"If this is also part of the curse trait, combined with the information given by the doctor, then I probably have a bit of an eyebrow......"
Fang Liang's gaze swept over the eyes of Cao Zhengfei, Li Xiaoyu, and Lu Ming, and he felt that he was gradually getting closer to the truth.
