Chapter 25: Cocoons and Moths

Wen Jing simply had a feeling of brain crashing at this time.

At this time, she immediately recalled the Liaozhai story "Painted Skin" she watched when she was a child, in which a hideous-looking female ghost put on a beautiful woman's skin, deceived the scholar's eyes, and finally gouged out her heart and devoured it. This horror story became a major psychological shadow in Wen Jing's childhood.

And now, this terrifying picture is completely displayed in front of Wen Jing's eyes.

She subconsciously felt a churn in her stomach, and she had been suffering from joy symptoms in the past few days because of her pregnancy, and now she vomited directly on the floor. Because the vomiting was too sudden, a large amount of vomit was directly vomited onto the mask, and she quickly took off the mask.

Yun Nai and Zhang Kun's expressions were also quite shocked, and they were stunned in place for five or six seconds, until the sound of Wen Jing's vomiting made them wake up again.

"It's like a silkworm that has broken out of its cocoon and turned into a moth...... "After a long time, Yun Nai said this sentence in a trembling tone: "Those who go to receive hypnosis become cocoons......"

This metaphor made Wen Jing, who had just finished vomiting, feel that her stomach began to churn again, and she opened her mouth and vomited again.

"That's how the evil spirit came out of our bodies?" Zhang Kun didn't seem to care about Wen Jing's feelings, he couldn't help covering his mouth and said, "Let's go, let's go!" It's too dangerous to stay here. ”

And Wen Jing looked at the mask that was full of vomit on her hands and emitted an indescribable smell, it was impossible to put it on again no matter what, otherwise she would be so disgusted that she vomited stomach acid.

"Yes, look around here, maybe there will be spare masks......"

Listening to Wen Jing's faint voice, Yun Nai woke up like a dream, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes...... Look for a mask, look for a mask first! ”

Wen Jing noticed at this time......

The torn skin on the bed was split in half from the middle of the hand.

So, is the red mark the crack that appears when it is about to "break out of the cocoon"?

The most terrible thing is that there is no blood, internal organs, or bones in this skin...... And what's coming out of here?

Gao Shuhe is such a person, there is only such a skin left?

She suddenly didn't know what force was driving her, and suddenly reached out and stroked the skin.

Then, she felt that there was no difference between this touch and touching real skin!

If she closed her eyes at this point, she was absolutely confident that she was touching the skin of a living person...... It's not cold at all, it's not stiff at all.

"Demonic ......"

She subconsciously muttered the word.

"What do you mean?" Yun Nai thought that Wen Jing had some clues, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of demon are you talking about?" ”

"I mean the apartment you're talking about...... That apartment, it has the power of a demon, it's a demonic apartment! ”

Killing people is not too much, and the unjust soul asking for life will not be cruel to such an extent!

This is a horror that only the demons of hell can create!

In the city where she lives, there is such a terrible place, just thinking about it makes Wen Jing feel creepy.

"The existence of this apartment should be made public, and the state should be left to find a way to deal with it, no, it should be for the international community to find a way, for the United Nations to deal with it...... Find a way to destroy this apartment......" Wen Jing was a little incoherent at this time.

Yun Nai grabbed Wen Jing and said, "Okay, let's get out of here first, it's too dangerous here, and Dong Xie disappeared here." Come on! ”

After leaving the room, the trio quickly went downstairs.

"Spare masks are here!"

After finally finding the spare masks, Yun Nai took a few more and handed them to Wen Jing and Zhang Kun respectively. Both quickly put their masks on and put spare masks in their pockets.

After putting on the masks, the three of them finally felt a little more relaxed.

But at this time, everyone was also worried. Whether masks can be regarded as a way out is still a big question mark.

"What do we do now? Go to House Four? ”

In addition to finding masks, he also got two spare folding umbrellas, which seemed to be brought by Gao Shu to use as parasols. With an umbrella, you can go to House 4 in this heavy rain.

Dong Xie and Li Ming are no longer here......

So what's next?

"Let's go out first."

At Yun Nai's suggestion, the three of them walked out of the house, Yun Nai and Wen Jing played one umbrella, and Zhang Kun played the other.

"In the future, no matter what the weather forecast says, you must bring an umbrella." This is a major lesson for Yunnai.

Of course...... The premise is that she can still have a "later".

However, the rain was so heavy that even with an umbrella, the effect was relatively limited, and I didn't walk a few steps, and basically the wet places on my body were soaked.

Even so, it still makes Wen Jing feel much safer here.

"Yun Nai, before we get to House Four, we might as well think about a problem."

"Well, you say?"

"Let's say Dong Xie and Li Ming are dead...... I mean hypothetical, so why didn't that dark shadow kill us in this case? Is it just a kill interval? ”

"The current inference may be that masks...... But Dong Xie and Li Ming are both wearing masks and will not be able to take them off. If it is said that the evil spirit forcibly takes off the mask, how much difference does it make if you wear a mask or not? So I'm also puzzled. ”

This point is the biggest logical paradox of the "mask life theory". If we can't solve this problem, it will be difficult to find a real way out.

"We can think the other way around," Wen Jing put forward her own opinion: "I remember when I was a kid watching Koji Suzuki's Midnight Bell, and in the end the protagonist found that the only way to escape Sadako's curse was to copy the video of Sadako's appearance, and his way to find a way to survive was based on the difference between himself who lived through Sadako's seven-day curse and the supporting characters who were killed. So, let's think about it the other way, what have we done more than Li Ming and Dong Xie? ”

When Yun Nai heard this, he quickly pondered.

"Are you saying that we have unintentionally done something that we have achieved a way to live, but we don't know it ourselves? We and Li Ming Dong Xie, to say that the biggest difference is gender, but I'm afraid it's not that simple...... For the rest, I think ......"

"Not only now, but even at the beginning of the Blood Word Mission, did we do anything that Li Ming and Dong Xie didn't do?"

"This ...... I want to think about ......"

I have to say that Wen Jing's idea is quite constructive, but for a while, in this wind and rain, Yun Nai can't think of how to answer this question for the time being.

"But there is a Li Ming who has done things that we haven't done." After thinking for a long time, Yun Nai said, "He went to buy a talisman." ”

"Oh......" Wen Jing vaguely remembered that Li Ming did have a red rope around his neck, which should be tied to the amulet.

Something happened to someone who had an amulet? So not bringing an amulet is the way to survive? It doesn't feel like nonsense to think about it.

"Impossible." Yun Nai vetoed this possibility almost immediately, "In fact, most residents will not carry this kind of thing when they implement blood characters now, and many people have already experimented with it, but they still all failed." Li Ming himself said that bringing this thing is also a psychological comfort factor, and he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Moreover, Dong Xie did not have a talisman on him. ”

"And what else is there?"

"We both drank coffee and Red Bull drinks at the time, but Dong Xie deliberately bought a coffee drink with skim milk...... There is also the fact that Dong Xie also went to the gym to exercise for a day before coming here. I can't think of anything else. ”

No valuable clues could be found at all.

Zhang Kun on the side said: "Could it really be related to gender differences? What will women do, what will men not do? ”

"Women can do it, men can't do it, that's a lot, men don't wear bras and aunt towels, but it's impossible to survive, right? What's more, Qin Peng is also a man. "Wen Jing thinks that it is impossible for the Blood Letter Mission to deliberately favor women, right?

At this time......

The three of them are getting closer and closer to House 4......
