Chapter 655: The True Strength of the Shadow (4000)
A faint smell of blood wafted through the air, and it wasn't raining outside, but the red raincoat on the woman's body was wet.
The black hair was stuck to her face, the water beads slipped down the neckline, and the woman entered the hotel with her head down, she didn't look at anyone, and found a place to sit alone.
"Let's stay away from her." Jia Ming whispered, and directly got up and moved to the other side of the table.
He didn't discuss with Li Zheng in advance, and when he stood up and staggered with Li Zheng, others could clearly see that Li Zheng was holding a gun in his hand.
"Sit down honestly for me!" Li Zheng pressed Jia Ming back into place, quietly swept the red raincoat with his afterglow, and then lowered his voice and asked Jia Ming: "Do you know this woman?" ”
"She's a madman, all the people in red in this place are madmen, don't go close, it's better to hide as far as you want." Jia Ming's body trembled slightly: "This is what the shadow told me, you want to die, but don't pull me along!" ”
"Red has a special meaning here?" There are still many things that Li Zheng wants to ask, and he has realized that something is wrong since he entered the town, but because he has too little information in his hand, he can't tell whether Jia Ming is lying or not.
"Red represents danger, never approach, this is the iron law inside the door." Jia Ming's voice became smaller and smaller: "The shadow is not on me now, but he has done a lot of things with this body, so I will know some secrets." ”
"Inside the door?" Li Zheng wrote down every word Jia Ming said: "Is there anything else to pay attention to here?" ”
Maybe he realized that he couldn't escape, or maybe he was ready to change his plan because he saw Chen Ge, Jia Ming became a lot more honest: "Don't go in all buildings with closed doors, don't pass in front of buildings with open doors, gray represents safety, red represents danger, if you see black, don't waste time running away, use the remaining time to think about your last words." ”
While Jia Ming and Li Zheng were talking, footsteps sounded at the door of the hotel again, and several people looked there at the same time.
"It's so lively tonight." A man in a black coat dragged a large suitcase into the room, with the heads of five blood-red women tattooed on his arm and a white bone whistle in his mouth.
No one in the hotel paid attention to him, but he was very enthusiastic, greeting the guests in the store in turn, until he saw the red raincoat, his body froze, and he walked quickly in front of the red raincoat and came to the counter: "Boss, stay in the hotel." ”
His voice was much quieter, as if he was afraid of the red raincoat.
"Why is someone here again?" Chen Ge pushed the food cart out of the back kitchen, they searched in the kitchen for a long time, except for some meat that had been cut and didn't know what animal belonged to, there were only some cakes left.
The owner of the shop does not prepare the cake for the customers, as can be seen from the recipes in the kitchen, all the dishes prepared by the restaurant are liked by the gluttonous female ghost.
In other words, the menu here is actually only for gluttonous ghosts, and the cake still needs to be post-processed, for example, there is no ketchup and strawberry jam in the kitchen, but some of the cakes are red.
"A red-clothed ghost with a sweet tooth? It's a pretty good gimmick. Chen Ge pushes the food truck, and he plans to wait for the mission to be completed, and transform the restaurant into a horror scene related to food.
It only took a few minutes to enter the kitchen, and when Chen Ge came out, he found that there were many more people in the hall, among which the appearance of the red raincoat surprised him the most.
Speaking of which, Liwan Town has indeed become a special place under the influence of the Runaway Gate, where living people can sit with the red clothes.
"Maybe that's the way it is behind the door, there are ghosts who are obsessed, and there are people who fall into nightmares." Chen Ge put the undyed cake on the table: "Eat whatever you want, I won't charge you any fees, I just need you to answer me a few questions later." ”
"Are you sure? Don't open it and take a look? Maybe you'll be tempted? The woman was dressed very tightly, she dragged the box to Chen Ge, straightened her body, took her fingers away from the box, and put it on the hem of her clothes, and the opening she said seemed to contain two meanings at the same time.
"No, I'll do it myself if I need to." Chen Ge was carrying a heavy backpack in one hand, and the skull-crushing hammer had just hammered through the blood vessels and long tongue, and the thick smell of blood on it had not yet dissipated.
"Okay." The woman dragged the box back a few steps, the charm on her face disappeared, and her face changed faster than she could turn a book.
"Hey, where's the shopkeeper? The last time he asked me to inquire, I have already asked him to ask clearly. The man with a tattoo of a woman's head dragged the box close to Chen Ge.
"He went out and handed over the hotel to me for the time being, and now I have the final say." Chen Ge was smiling, and in terms of service attitude, he definitely surpassed the original store owner.
"The shopkeeper is out?" The tattooed man was very shrewd, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and smiled embarrassedly at Chen Ge: "Then I can only come back another day, I'm sorry to disturb me." ”
After saying that, he didn't want the box, turned his head and prepared to go outside.
"Wait, didn't you understand what I just said?" Chen Ge asked the scissors to stop the tattooed man: "Now in this place, I have the final say, and the shopkeeper asks you to inquire about it, you can tell me." ”
The tattooed man stood in place, his eyes unconsciously glanced towards the kitchen, and the more he looked, the more panicked he became: "This is not very good, right?" ”
"So what should I do?" Chen Ge turned slightly sideways, allowing the tattooed man to see the collapsed wall inside the kitchen.
"Since you're a friend of the shopkeeper, you're also my friend, and we're all friends, so of course there's no problem." The tattooed man immediately changed his words, and his honest face contrasted sharply with the five hideous women's head tattoos on his arm: "There are many people here, so take a step to speak." ”
He turned around and walked towards the second floor, looking at him very familiar with the hotel, and seemed to be a regular customer here.
"Scissors, you come with me." Chen Ge asked the scissors to follow him, and he didn't treat the scissors as an outsider at all.
"Me?" Scissors was stunned, he didn't expect that Chen Ge would still take himself with him even when he listened to secrets, what kind of trust was this?
"Hurry up." Chen Ge and Scissors followed the tattooed man to the second floor.
"I saw the secret room in the kitchen collapse, but the female monster wasn't inside." The tattooed man took a breath: "She can't leave the hotel, and she is not where she should be at this time, which means that she may have disappeared." ”
"You're smart." Chen Ge said coldly: "I don't like to deal with people who are too smart, unless he is useful to me. ”
"Big brother, don't say it so directly! I promise that I will be useful to you, and that I will be of great use. The tattooed man took the bone whistle in his hand and paused for a long time before speaking: "I know that the way to get out of this hellish place has something to do with a door. ”
"It's no secret, you came in from the outside of the door, and as long as you find the door, you can naturally get out." Chen Ge choked the tattooed man half to death with one sentence: "Don't be pretentious, I know a lot more than you think, I advise you to say something real." ”
"I know where that door is." The tattooed man clenched his bone whistle: "All the people who were brought in by the womb covered their heads with black cloths, and when they woke up, they were already on the street, and I asked a lot of people, and everyone was in a different place after taking off the hood. ”
"You said you were brought in by the Fetus? Is the womb a black shadow? Why do you call him that? Chen Ge didn't seem to care about how to get out, but was very interested in some details.
"Big brother, your focus is so strange, you will run here and you must have seen that shadow, when you make a choice in the underworld......" The tattooed man suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and looked at Chen Ge and the scissors incredulously: "Wait! You can't have come in on your own, right? Didn't get through that door? ”
"If you don't want to die, answer my question first." Chen Ge directly took out the skull crusher hammer.
"I'm just a little surprised, sometimes there are some unlucky people who enter the blood mist for various reasons, but such people usually don't live more than an hour here." The tattooed man looked at Chen Ge, who was holding a skull crusher hammer, and the scissors with a hideous face: "It's really rare to see a situation like yours." ”
"Can you tell me about the Underworld and the Underworld?" Chen Ge's voice was low, and his eyes were a little scary.
"Don't be impatient, since you are outsiders, I will tell you about the rules of this place. Trust me, I'm here for your good. The tattooed man glanced outside, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he spoke: "Unfortunate things happen every day in this world, and unfortunate people are constantly appearing, some people grasp the only ray of sunshine and carry the saddest time, but there are also some people who sink in despair. ”
"I came into contact with more than a dozen people from the outside, and they all met the shadow when they were desperate and collapsed."
"The first voices came from their own shadows, and under the guidance of the shadows, they took the last train of No. 104 to Liwan Town, entered the Hades Tower, and wanted to be redeemed."
"The master of the underworld is also a shadow, no one has seen his true face, he is just a shadow in our eyes, a shadow that may appear around you at any time, changing into your own appearance, he is like a monster generated by malice in the depths of our hearts, understanding the weaknesses and needs of each of us."
"The shadow calls itself the underworld, and according to the shopkeeper, the shadow is actually the shadow of a living person, but it has been abandoned by that living person."
"I know it sounds incredible, but that's the way it is, many things that happened in Liwan Town, Hades Tower, and the eastern suburbs are actually the shadow that is doing the trick, he doesn't hesitate to destroy everything, just to do one thing - turn himself into a human, and then let the living person who abandoned him become a shadow."
"Malice is contagious, the shadow was originally the shadow of that person, but as he absorbed more and more malice and despair, he has become a ......" The tattooed man thought for a long time and didn't know how to describe it: "Anyway, it's a very scary thing, he planted most of his body and negative emotions on an unborn child, that is, the body of the underworld, and the remaining small remnants are secretly protecting the underworld and promoting the whole plan." ”
"How do you know these things?" The shadow is cautious and does not reveal a drop of water, in Chen Ge's opinion, it is impossible for him to reveal these things to an outsider, unless these are what the shadow deliberately wants to know.
"The owner and I were the first living people to enter the door, and we have lived here for a long time, and we can probably piece together a truth from the words of the shadow." The man took off his coat, and he had a black and red rope tied around his lower abdomen.
The rope seemed to have been tied a long time ago, as if it had never been removed, and now it had all grown into the flesh.
What's even more strange is that with the rope as the boundary, the tattooed man's upper body is normal, and the lower body completely turns dark gray.
"This rope is made of the blood of the shopkeeper's mother, and without it, I would have died a long time ago."
"But there's no way to prove that what you're saying is the truth." Chen Ge has his own judgment on everything and doesn't just listen to what others say, which is one of the reasons why he has survived so many trial missions.
"I can't prove that this is true, I just told you everything I know, I hope you can feel my sincerity, and then you can cooperate with me and everyone can escape together." The tattooed man got dressed, he understood Chen Ge, in this kind of place, if Chen Ge immediately believed what he said, it would make him unsteady: "Continuing with the topic just now, I asked a lot of people, and finally discovered a secret of the shadow." ”
"All the people who enter here are put on black hoods in the Underworld, and then it takes some time to pass through the door and enter the door." The tattooed man's eyes narrowed slowly, as if the thing he wanted to say was very important: "The location of the underworld building is close to Liwan Town, and it is an unfinished building that has been suspended, called Mingyang Community. ”
"Many of the people who were sent in were unwilling and wanted to escape, so they would grope for the outskirts of Liwan Town, but they never came back."
"At first, I thought the door was in the Underworld, but after asking many people, I suddenly realized that the door might be in Liwan Town." The tattooed man felt that he had discovered a big secret: "After everyone enters the underworld, their subjective consciousness will become blurred, and the malice in their hearts will be hooked out, but there are also a few determined guys who are not lost, they clearly remember that they were not directly pushed into the door, but moved somewhere for a long time." After years of fumbling and without attracting the shadow's attention, I finally found the location of that door. ”
"Is it in a community on the outskirts of Liwan Town? If I'm not mistaken, it should be a room on the first floor of Building One. Under the shocked gaze of the tattooed man, Chen Ge said the location he wanted to say: "Forget it, it's not all for nothing, at least I know that the underworld is in the Mingyang community, and I also know that the shadow has placed most of his 'body' on an unborn baby." ”
Chen Ge asked the tattooed man a few more words, and found that this man was not simple, he was born close to ghosts, a bit like a weakened version of Fan Yu.
