Chapter 9: The Man Who Shouldn't Be Present
Tick, tick.
Time passed, in the Silent Hills, at 1:13 a.m. on this night.
Zhang Yi was lying on the floor, leaning back against the sofa, taking a nap, and suddenly, in a daze, in a daze, Zhang Yi saw a living dead man in a coat rushing towards him, clamping his neck violently with both hands, and angrily asking himself why he wanted to kill him.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but shiver, a gust of wind blew, Zhang Yi woke up from his dream, bang, bang, his heart was beating fast, as if he was about to jump out of his throat at any time.
The terrifying faces of the living dead lingered in Zhang Yi's mind, and Zhang Yi came back to his senses to find himself sweating profusely and lying on the floor next to the heated fireplace.
Was that a dream? Zhang Yi hit a spirit, how could he fall asleep in the game and have a dream!
For a while, a strong sense of crisis clouded Zhang Yi's heart, and Zhang Yi looked around in a panic, and couldn't help but be surprised!
In the room, except for Zhang Yi himself, there was no one else!
Boom, boom, the torrential rain outside the window still hasn't stopped, and the window that was broken by the storm "clanged", and it was the cold wind blowing outside the window that woke up Zhang Yi!
Looking at the dark room, Zhang Yi had already come to his senses, stood up, stepped on the quilt, and looked around.
"Alice?"
"Carey?"
"Are you there?"
Zhang Yi walked around the room cautiously, and at this time, an eager figure floated outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and Zhang Yi saw it and hurriedly ran towards the door.
It's Alice!
With a bang, the door of the bungalow was opened, and a panicked figure ran in from outside the house in the rain, just crashing into Zhang Yi's arms and being hugged by Zhang Yi.
Alice trembled uncontrollably in Zhang Yi's arms, and after feeling the warmth on Zhang Yi's body for a long time, Alice gradually regained a trace of composure.
Zhang Yi subconsciously locked the door at the entrance, and led Alice into the room, wiping the rain off Alice's body with a clean quilt. Alice's body was cold, and under the light of the fireplace, she finally stopped shivering.
Looking at Alice, who was discolored, Zhang Yi asked in surprise: "Alice, what's wrong with you, what happened just now, why did you come from outside the house, Mr. Carey!" ”
Alice raised her eyes to look at Zhang Yi, her eyes were full of panic and haggardness, and her body was still trembling.
Although Zhang Yi was a little anxious, he still patiently guided.
As a young surgeon, Zhang Yi saw a lot of panicked patients and family members, and under Zhang Yi's unrelenting guidance, Alice finally spoke.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, we were here just now, and we saw Mr. Cole outside the window!"
Yes! Hearing this, Zhang Yi's heart trembled, his pupils dilated, and his face was full of shock.
Isn't Mr. Cole already dead......
Alice seemed to see something from Zhang Yi's surprised eyes, and after a long time, she said tremblingly, "Mr. Zhang, is this true?" You...... Are you hiding something from us? Regarding Mr. Cole, is it not as you said, did you have any conflict with him? ”
When Zhang Yi heard this, he was shocked for no reason, and his thoughts turned back and forth.
Where did this begin, and why did Alice suddenly question herself?
For a moment, Zhang Yi was silent.
According to the system, Alice is an assistant, and she should be completely loyal to herself, how could she wake up and this little girl is a little afraid of herself?
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of someone - Carey!
In this trial, only Carey can change Alice's attitude towards herself.
So what did Carey say to Alice during the time he was asleep?
Facing the little nurse assistant who was a little frightened, Zhang Yi showed a faint smile, and then said, "Alice, why do you think that I had a conflict with Mr. Cole?" ”
Alice looked at Zhang Yi a little nervously, and finally her eyes fell on the coat Zhang Yi was wearing, and she did not answer.
Facing Alice's frightened gaze, Zhang Yi understood something, it seemed that in Alice's heart, she should not have been wearing Agent Cole's clothes.
Zhang Yi really didn't know how to answer this matter, so Zhang Yi changed the topic slightly and said, "Alice, you said that you saw Mr. Cole by the window just now, right?" ”
Mr. Cole has reappeared, and this supernatural phenomenon is likely to indicate that Zhang Yi's real test tonight is about to begin!
Hearing Zhang Yi's inquiry, Alice nodded seriously and said, "It was Mr. Carey who found out." ”
Zhang Yi's heart was shocked again, but he still forced his composure, and asked Alice, "I ask you, since you have seen Mr. Cole, why don't you wake me up?" ”
At this time, Alice said something that made Zhang Yi feel afraid.
"It's sleeping pills, Mr. Zhang Yi." Alice looked at Zhang Yi with some embarrassment, "I, what shouldn't we do!" ”
What, Zhang Yi's eyes widened, grabbed Alice's shoulder and said, "Alice, you mean you used sleeping pills on me, right?" ”
Alice nodded.
Zhang Yi suddenly sneered.
What a scary game, it turns out that the plot characters in this game can use sleeping pills to put the player down?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi shuddered, and for a while, Zhang Yi remembered that person's advice-
"In Deathland, you should never leave anything to chance, anything inconspicuous can end up killing you."
Zhang Yi got goosebumps and looked at Alice again, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
At this time, Alice looked at Zhang Yi nervously, her eyes full of apology.
"Sir, sir, I didn't mean to harm you, it's just that you came back in Mr. Cole's clothes, it's so weird, it doesn't make sense!"
Alice didn't dare to look at Zhang Yi squarely, the reason why she agreed to drug Mr. Zhang Yi with Carey tonight was to find the mystery of Mr. Cole's disappearance. But now, Mr. Cole's figure suddenly appeared in the manor, so Mr. Zhang Yi's suspicion was naturally cleared, and Alice knew that she had "misunderstood" Mr. Zhang!
On the other side, Zhang Yi looked at the cautious Alice, and gradually put away the anger in his heart.
Remind yourself that this is a horror game of brain power and emotional intelligence trials, and don't let inexplicable anger dominate your thinking!
For a while, Zhang Yi once again put his thinking into the plot logic of the newcomer trial.
On the night of the rainstorm, Cole, who should have died, suddenly appeared?
What will be the impact of this incident, and where is his other object of protection, "Carey", now?
Tonight, in order to adapt to the rhythm of the game and protect himself, Zhang Yi has been waiting for the person behind the murder of Detective Cole to take the initiative, and when facing the side plot, Zhang Yi chose to be conservative and keep Carey and Alice as far as possible within the reach of his sight.
Unexpectedly, such a defensive posture eventually led to Carey's distrust of himself, and his team was breached from the inside.
In the rainy night, Zhang Yi began to feel that the newcomer trial of "Death Paradise" was not as simple as he imagined.
Previously she had the option of being defensive herself, but now that Alice returns to the bungalow from the manor in a panic, and Carey's whereabouts are unknown, it seems that she has been forced to act more aggressively.
For a while, Zhang Yi continued to comfort Alice, and asked: "Alice, don't panic, tell me quickly, where did you and Carey go during the time I was in a coma, what happened, where is Mr. Carey now, let's go find him quickly!" ”
At the same time, Zhang Yi carefully checked the revolver and dagger on his body, it seems that in this rookie trial, he may have to confront some supernatural forces in the Silent Manor!
