Chapter 40: The Strange Apartment
I turned off the bracelet and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
After finishing the rest of the school's homework, I went downstairs to eat something.
Call home again and ask them not to come to me casually if they have nothing special to do during this time.
There were two days left, and there was nothing special to do other than attend classes and play games. It was fast to the third night, 12 o'clock in the morning.
I sat down at my computer desk, and the computer turned on automatically, and the words "real devil game" popped up on the screen, and my mind went blank again, and then we returned to the "real devil" platform.
I smiled when I saw a few people around me, but when my eyes stayed on Du Deming, I found that his face was a little pale.
"Deming, are you alright? Why is your face so ugly? I walked over to him.
And when they heard this, they looked at him.
Du Deming subconsciously stepped back, and hurriedly shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't rested well." ”
"Then you have to pay attention to rest!" Wang Yi also instructed with concern.
Du Deming nodded, but stopped talking.
"By the way, have you received a bank card with the word 'True Demon' printed on it? Yesterday I found it in the mailbox downstairs of my house, and there were 500,000 in it! Zhang Qiang shouted exaggeratedly.
"I received it too." Zhao Qiqi smiled slyly, she pouted: "But the counter staff can't seem to see those words, and in their eyes, it seems to be just an ordinary bank card." ”
Situ Cao and Wang Yi also nodded, Du Deming was stunned, his eyes flickered, and finally nodded.
I scratched my head, and there was a hint of uncertainty in my voice: "I haven't paid much attention to the class for the past two days." It stands to reason that I would have received it too, right? ”
For a while, I was happy and worried, happy that I was about to have a deposit of 500,000 yuan, and I was worried that my savings would be taken away by others.
I immediately made up my mind that the first thing I would do after clearing the game this time was to check my mailbox.
At this moment, the sound of the machine sounded again.
"Congratulations to all of you for successfully passing the Starter Trial. You'll take part in the first official horror game, Bloody Mary, as Team 9 of the 'True Devil' gaming platform. The game is set as a horror game in a different world, allowing the use of mythological and magical items, and the platform will not charge players similar items.
After ten seconds, the player will enter the game world, please be ready.
Three, two, one......"
In a dizzy trance, the vision returned to clarity.
"Where is this?" Zhang Qiang's voice came from the side.
I looked around and there were six of us standing in a room that looked like it had been deserted for a long time.
The living room has everything you need, including an old-fashioned TV with a large backpack, a coffee table, a dining table, an old refrigerator, and a fan hanging from the ceiling that is already covered with cobwebs......
Everyone looked around and found that this was an ordinary old apartment house, about eighty or ninety square meters, and the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom seemed to be some years old.
I was about to say something when the voice of the "True Demon" sounded again:
"Within 12 hours, find out the clues to start the game plot, if the time is over, the player has not started the game, all will be eliminated. You are in an old apartment in a certain city, and the player needs to find clues from the room to start the game on their own, and the scope of activity is limited to the interior of the apartment until the game is officially started. ”
"What do you mean?"
"What's that?" Zhang Qiang and Wang Yi were both puzzled.
"'True Demon' let us find clues to start the game by ourselves? Aren't all games open directly? "I also feel weird.
Zhao Qiqi looked around in the room, and she said without looking back: "Perhaps, this is a necessary part of the game itself?" ”
"Well, let's not waste time, instead of asking why, let's hurry up and find some clues." Situ Cao reminded.
"That's right, then let's find it quickly!" I also turned my head to look at the group.
I swept over Du Deming, who was still full of worries, thinking that I would find a time to talk to him after the game.
Turning his gaze back to the living room, it was an ordinary old-style suite with two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen in the eighties and nineties of the last century.
In front of the old TV stand, there is a dusty picture frame on the left.
Pick up the photo frame and find that it is a picture of a family of four. An ordinary middle-aged man in a jacket, a slightly tired middle-aged woman, a shy junior high school boy, and a little girl who looks very gloomy.
"It seems that there used to be a family of four living here." I put the frame back on the TV bench and thought for myself.
"Really? Let me see. Zhang Qiang immediately became interested.
He leaned over his face, but the next second he couldn't help but hug his arm.
Situ Cao subconsciously looked around and walked towards me: "Do you feel that the temperature in the room seems to have dropped?" ”
"I feel that way, too." Wang Yi took the dagger out of his coat pocket and looked around vigilantly as he approached me.
Looking at Du Deming, who was standing on the side without reacting, I shouted at him: "Deming, this may be an important clue, why don't you come over and take a look?" ”
Du Deming was stunned for a moment, and finally walked over.
Zhao Qiqi ignored the changes in the surrounding environment, she walked up to me, took the photo frame and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, she put down the picture frame in her hand and looked at everyone seriously: "If my guess is correct, this girl and this woman have problems, but it is unknown whether there is a problem in this game." ”
As soon as the words came out, the six of them were immediately silent.
In particular, Du Deming's eyelids trembled terribly, and of course, no one noticed this.
What does she mean?
Zhao Qiqi always speaks so inscrutablely, people can't guess what she means.
I didn't think it just now, but now the sudden silence of everyone made the air around them seem to condense.
That's when I started to feel the weirdness of the house.
Yes, quiet!
It was so quiet that it was like there was no one in this world except a few of us.
Although I knew that this was a scene in a horror game world, the thought of the presence of no one but us made me panic inexplicably.
This place has an indescribable sense of oppression.
If we can't find a clue to start the game, will we stay in this space forever?
Only...... Can you only die here in despair like this?
No, it won't, it won't!
Suddenly, I felt my heart beat faster, and an indescribable feeling lingered around me, and I desperately wanted to leave this place: "In that case, let's quickly find the relevant clues!" ”
"yes, we've got to find it." Wang Yi said: "I'll be in charge of checking the living room!" ”
"I, I'll go to the bedroom over there first." Zhang Qiang rushed to the nearest bedroom first.
Zhao Qiqi looked at his back and followed silently.
"Well, I'll go to the other bedroom." I'm a little helpless.
Situ Cao glanced at Du Deming, who was stunned, and she said softly: "Then I'll go to the bathroom to check, can you be in charge of the kitchen?" ”
Du Deming nodded indifferently, and when Situ Cao saw that he agreed, he didn't say anything more, and turned around and went into the bathroom.
