Chapter 12: Graffiti Painting
"I think that old ...... The indescribable thing...... Maybe it gave us a hint of how to live. ”
As Dong Xie, who deeply likes the stories of the Cthulhu Mythos, Dong Xie who often hangs "ancient gods", "evil gods" and "indescribable things" in his mouth, feels a little weird when he says this at this time. Among the residents of the apartments, it is becoming customary to refer to "unclean things", "those things", and "unspeakable things" as "evil spirits". Dong Xie estimates that the last statement is mostly due to the fact that the Cthulhu Mythos has become popular in the past two years.
After Dong Xie said this, Zhao Long looked at him carefully and said, "This ...... Maybe it's possible. ”
Feng Yu on the side shook his head and said, "What are you kidding, the existence of 'those things' is to kill us, why do you want to give us tips to let us survive?" That doesn't make sense, does it? As for the blood record mentioned by your sister, it's been so many years, who knows if it's true or not, not to mention that even if it's true, I think it's more of a misleading household to die. How can you believe the words of 'those things'! ”
After experiencing the first blood letter, Feng Yu is now extremely afraid, and he really doesn't want to face "those things" at all. When he first executed the blood character, the residents around him did not believe in evil, and they carried peach wood swords purchased online, black dog blood, and black donkey hooves that they didn't even know where to get them, but when they sacrificed these things to deal with "those things", they didn't even have the slightest effect. And the time when Ge Qi participated in the blood word was even more exaggerated, and one of the residents of the blood word even spared no expense to invite a foreign devil who claimed to be an exorcist to follow them to the blood word execution site. As a result, the foreign devil was so frightened that he peed his pants in the face of "those things", threw out all the holy water crosses, and took the Bible and shouted, "Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit...... Nor did it prevent him from being killed.
The existing occupants have exhausted all means, but it can be proven that there is no way to resist and harm "those things". At the beginning, Fang Han finally managed to survive the tenth blood letter, and after being able to "redeem himself", he had the opportunity to make a wish, and many residents begged Fang Han if he could make a wish to let them be free, or he could fight against "those things". The generation that grew up watching "Dragon Ball" and "Aladdin" often understands "making a wish" as "any wish can come true", but in fact, when you want to make a wish, you find that it is not a panacea to realize your wish. The limits of desire are enormous.
It is impossible to resurrect the dead, let alone allow all the wishes to break the rules of the apartment, what to let the residents of the apartment be free, reduce the difficulty of blood letters, so that the residents can compete with "those things" are impossible to do, and even want to have the superpower of the Avengers X-Men, as for "destroying the apartment", there is no need to think about it. Even if an individual wants to gain huge social power, it is impossible to violate the laws of real society, and you will never be able to become the president of the United States. In this way, the wish may seem like a chicken, but other than that, if you want to live forever, cure a terminal illness, and get love (or beauty, there is no limit). And although it is impossible to resurrect the dead, if you want to make people die, as long as the number is limited to 10,000, the wish can be fulfilled. Judging from these points, this wish is still highly attractive.
All in all...... A wish is the end of all hope that the occupants can compete with "those things". In other words, although this wish is said to be a reward for spending ten blood words, it is much more...... Rather, it's like charity. There used to be many residents in the apartment, but they had only heard that one Fang Han had crossed the tenth blood character, and after Li Yin, whether there were any residents who had crossed the blood character ten times before Fang Han was not very clear, it was only from Fang Han that some residents began to record the blood characters.
And Ge Qi's mentality is similar to Feng Yu's. At the beginning, he also saw with his own eyes that the foreign devil who was paid for was completely a charlatan, but even so, the Bible and the cross had no effect in front of those "unspeakable things". Of course, there are also residents who have resisted desperately before being killed, but no physical means have any effect on them. In front of them, even if Rambo and Leng Feng came, it would be a dead ending. So, psychologically, it is difficult for them to believe that they will reveal their way of life to the occupants. After all, this is not an online game, and they are not NPCs that can reveal clues to residents.
However, unlike Feng Yu and Ge Qi. Dong Xie felt that the existence of this apartment itself was highly similar to a horror role-playing game, and the difference was that even if the game was played to the end, the player would not have the opportunity to level up. It's just that in the game, the player can be resurrected as many times as he dies, but in this apartment, there is only one human life, and once he dies, there will be no chance to start over.
"Alright, let's go ahead and check it out," Zhao Long continued to act as a peacemaker, "Our time is precious. Scarlet has officially begun, and now...... 'they' are likely to appear at any time. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's faces turned pale.
"I ...... I know......" Hearing Zhao Long say this, Feng Yu could only nod and say, "Go on...... Let's find out. ”
At this time they walked down the corridor of the corridor, and not long after, by the light of the lighter, they saw a similar painting on the wall again.
On the painting, there are clusters of black figures, if Dong Xie usually sees these pictures, he will only look at how mad he is. After walking a few more steps, I saw a painting that looked like two doors, and in the middle of the door was a dark shadow.
And at this time, Dong Xie suddenly found that there were two doors facing each other on both sides of this corridor!
This discovery made him feel creepy!
"This ...... This ......" he pointed ahead and said, "This ...... Could it be ......"
Dong Ning also looked in the direction of Dong Xie's finger, and then compared the two doors on the painting and the black shadow in the middle of the door, he was also surprised.
"Could it be that this graffiti is a scene that happened here?"
Dong Ning's words immediately scared Zhao Long, Feng Yu and Ge Qi.
"No...... No, it won't! Gucci shook his head desperately, and at the same time took a step back more subconsciously.
Feng Yu's face was also quite ugly, and he only felt that his legs were paralyzed to the point of walking against the wall.
Zhao Long, on the other hand, looked at the painting and the scene in front of him, and fell into deep thought......
