Chapter 4: The Black Corps

"Are you family?"

On an alley, Carl led Dong Xie and the others forward.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then looked at the sky, and by this time, it was already dusk.

"You ...... Would you like to consider going back to see the house tomorrow? Karl suddenly turned around and said, "You see, it will soon be dark." Our house is relatively remote, especially close to the black wall, so the security ...... It won't be too good. ”

"Well, we hope to be able to move in tonight." Dong Xie said to Carl: "As long as there is no big problem with the house, we will come back and sign the contract." ”

"Well, well......"

Karl raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Dong Xie observed Carl's abnormality and began to develop a strong sense of vigilance.

It's a town full of weirdness, but you don't even know which country it's in.

Is this in Asia? Or Europe? South America?

Dong Xie has already concluded through observation that the people here ...... Not even a mobile phone. In this day and age, it's unthinkable.

Black Wall ......

This word appears in the blood word indication. I'm afraid that the entrance to hell also has a lot to do with this so-called black wall.

Suddenly, turning a laneway, Carl saw something like this.

A man in a gray mask fell to the ground, covered in bones and skin.

"My God......"

When Carl saw this scene, he took several steps backwards and bumped into Dong Xie behind him.

Then, he rushed up with an arrow and looked at the person in front of him.

After checking his heartbeat, Carl said regretfully, "He's dead." ”

He quickly pressed his hand to his mask, and then took it off.

"Hoo ......"

Subsequently, Dong Xie found that Carl was obviously relieved.

"Mr. Smith?"

Carl looked back at Dong Xie and the others and said, "Fortunately, the body was found early...... Otherwise, the corpse will have to be handed over to the Black Corps. ”

"Found early?" Lian Zixin pointed to the corpse on the ground, "People are dead, this is also called discovery...... Early? ”

"Shut up!" Mu Ziyi immediately turned around and said to Lian Zixin, "Didn't I tell you?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

Carl was stunned for a moment, took the mask in his hand, and said, "What are you talking about?" Didn't you see that I successfully took off his mask? If you can't take it off, the consequences will be serious. ”

Mu Ziyi quickly explained: "He is the worst person in our family, he always talks nonsense, I don't know how many times I have talked about him." ”

"That's ...... You don't even know such common sense, do you? Carl took the mask in his hand, looked at the corpse on the ground again, and said, "Alas, forget it, let's go first." ”

Then he placed the mask on the ground.

With the lesson just learned, everyone didn't ask him why he left the body alone, but just took off the mask. However, because of what Carl said just now, Dong Xie was sure of at least one thing: the mask of the dead person, once it was "discovered late", could not be removed from the face. As for Carl, as long as he took off the mask and put it aside, he was relieved.

So...... If the mask can't be removed, will the corpse become a ......

Dong Xie turned his head and looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground, as well as the mask next to him.

Carl sighed heavily at this time: "Just because of the lack of food, more and more people are dying of hunger this year. Last month, people in gray masks had already gathered to storm and snatch food. After that, under the blue mask, anyone who dared to go out without a mask at night would be killed immediately if they were spotted by the patrol. ”

As Carl led the way, there were fewer and fewer houses and more trees. The surroundings are becoming more and more remote.

"I don't know if Fani is gone or not......"

Karl muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

At this moment, suddenly, he saw a group of people in black on a small road not far away, riding by.

"Black Corps!"

Karl said subconsciously, then looked over.

The men of the Black Corps...... All are gray masks.

The team was about thirty people, and at the back of the team were a few black coffins tied to carts in tow by horses.

"There are no carts for the Black Corps, only horses." Carl sighed, "The man in the gray mask is a cheap life!" ”

Black Corps ......

Dong Xie looked at that team, people were all staggering, and even several people couldn't straighten their waists.

"Well," Carl then looked at Dong Xie and said, "Our house is less than a kilometer away from the Black Wall, so it's likely that we often see the Black Corps, which is actually, really, a bit unlucky." ”

Although he was so curious in his heart, Dong Xie couldn't ask Carl any questions, and Lian Zixin had almost exposed them just now. This place, after setting a curfew, you can shoot and kill people casually, and the high class of the mask can even disregard human life, which is quite a bit of George Orwell's 1984 feeling. In such a place, if it is revealed that they are foreigners, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Well, it doesn't matter," Dong Xie replied, "After all, your rent is cheap, and the security deposit is not expensive." ”

Every resident has the currency of this place prepared for them by the apartment, and in a short period of time, life is not too problematic.

"That being said, it's a lot of trouble to make some living purchases around here......"

At this time, Mu Ziyi suddenly said, "Does Mr. Smith not want the house to be rented out?" ”

"Well, too...... It's not ......"

The team of the Black Corps suddenly stopped at this time.

"It's a flare!"

High in the distance, a red flame rose into the sky.

"It's the south side!" The leader of the Black Corps shouted, "Quick, full speed ahead!" ”

Karl looked at where the flare was raised and muttered, "Found again...... It's still a red flare, and it's so urgent. ”

Seeing the Black Corps rushing into the distance, Carl continued, "Alright, let's go. ”

Finally, Carl took Dong Xie and the others to the house where their family was.

The house has a total of two floors and looks to occupy less than a hundred square meters, which is quite rudimentary in appearance.

Carl stepped forward, took out the key, inserted the lock, and opened the door.

"Guys, I'll go clean up first."

Karl walked in quickly, took a look, and seemed to ...... The man is gone.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, suddenly, he noticed that there was a piece of paper on the table.

He picked up the piece of paper and saw that it was a note that Fani had left for him.

"Carl, I won't embarrass you, I'll go first. Lately, I've been hearing strange noises from the black walls every night, and the sounds have been getting more and more terrifying lately. If there's no particular reason for you, you'd better not approach the Black Wall here lately. ”

He looked at the piece of paper and quickly crumpled it up and put it in his pocket. Then, he walked outside the door and said to Dong Xie and the others, "Okay, you can come in." ”

……

It's late at night.

At this time, the clock on the wall pointed the hour hand to ten o'clock.

Dong Xie was holding the telephone receiver to talk to Anna at this time.

"The electricity is already on, right?"

"Water, electricity and gas are all connected. Thank you very much, Mrs. Smith. We also came in a hurry......"

"It's okay, you just get used to it. However, it is more remote and it may not be convenient to buy things. I'll give you a few phone numbers for stores that have home delivery. ”

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Xie looked behind him.

"Again, one thing is emphasized." Dong Xie stretched out a finger and said, "Don't take off your mask until you have to." Even if you're sure we're residents, don't take off your mask. ”

"But......" Gao Yiyu hurriedly asked, "If there is an evil spirit wearing a mask......"

"Actually, if the evil spirits really want to infiltrate us, there is no need to wear a mask at all." When Dong Xie said this, he emphasized one more point: "Moreover, the moment we received the blood word, it was teleported, and we didn't have time to communicate with other residents at all. In this situation, we don't really know how many residents have received the blood letter. ”

"If the apartment restricts the evil spirit's ability to shapeshift," Mu Ziyi raised her hand to touch the mask, "It cannot be ruled out that the evil spirit is wearing a mask to disguise the occupants." And here, taking off the mask seems to be an extremely taboo thing. ”

Dong Xie walked out of the window and looked in the direction of the so-called ...... "black wall"!
