Chapter 1: The Beginning

Next Chapter

Gu Qinghan was woken up by the cold air of the air conditioner, he sat up from the floor holding his temples, and the whole person was a little confused.

He still remembered that he had just finished the manuscript urged by the editor last night, and went back to his room after eating half a bowl of braised noodles left over from noon.

But now, it seems like he's not in his room anymore.

The scene in front of him is not his room, but a hall, which is very simple to decorate.

He was still wearing clothes that he hadn't had time to change yesterday, and even the sauce on his hands from eating noodles was still there, and the dark yellow sauce had long since dried up on his pale and unhealthy skin.

When Gu Qinghan was stunned, someone patted him on the back.

"Hello... Do you know where this is? ”

Gu Qinghan turned his head to see that it was a girl.

She seems to be a little mixed-race, with messy hair and puffy eyes, but she is unusually beautiful. The girl was wearing a light gray plaid dress, and her eyes were as clear and harmless as rabbits.

"Huh?" Gu Qinghan's brain circuits hadn't been sorted out yet, and he couldn't react a little.

"Did you suddenly appear here like me? I was going to go to bed after finishing my homework at home, but there was a knock on the door and I went to open it, and then I fainted and woke up and I was here. The girl's voice became aggrieved and frightened as she spoke, and the appearance was enough to make strangers feel sympathy and affection for her.

It seems that there is a beginning and an end, but there are many loopholes.

"Oh, I ended up here for some reason, and I don't know what the situation is now." Gu Qinghan didn't show much concern for her, and he could know from what the girl had just said that the girl had woken up during the time she was in a coma.

He always felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell the truth.

"I..." she hesitated for a moment, it seemed that her attitude towards Gu Qinghan was a little incredible, but she quickly returned to a pitiful appearance, "Is it just the two of us here, could it be that we were kidnapped?" ”

"If I want to kidnap and kidnap you, I'm a young man with three nos, how can I be targeted by others if I can't support myself." Gu Qinghan deserved to be able to cultivate after more than 20 years of being single, he didn't notice the girl's face in front of him suddenly darkened, but continued: "You have been looking at me since you woke up?" Didn't think of a way to get out? ”

"I'm scared, I don't dare do anything, and you don't look like a bad person." The girl turned her face up, and her tone revealed helplessness.

"Shhhh ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the girl's face turned pale with fright.

"Okay, I'll be kidding, my name is Gu Qinghan, what about you?" Seeing this, Gu Qinghan also smiled, got up and straightened his collar and looked at her.

"My name is Yu Zhiqiu, a senior in high school." She nodded, and the two officially met.

She seemed to think of something, and her expression changed slightly.

"When I woke up, that door opened once."

"Then why don't you go out?" Gu Qinghan asked.

Yu Zhiqiu looked at him: "I don't dare, there may be something very dangerous outside." ”

It was like a switch, and the door at the outermost end of the hall opened.

Gu Qinghan: "......"

"Are we going out?" Yu Zhiqiu's voice was very soft, "Now it's just the two of us, you are also awake, do you want to go out and have a look together?" ”

Gu Qinghan glanced at her with a strange expression: "Why do you dare to go out again now?" ”

"Hey, hey... Isn't this accompanied by someone? Yu Zhiqiu laughed embarrassedly, and Gu Qinghan realized that her eyes were very good-looking, her eyebrows were clear, and she smiled very well.

"Okay, let's go out and have a look."

The two of them walked out of the hall together, and outside the hall was actually a wilderness, only a faint path could tell that the road here had been deliberately repaired, but it was also overgrown with weeds.

The temperature here is very low, Gu Qinghan has three clothes on his body, but on the other hand, Yu Zhiqiu only has a thin skirt.

"Aren't you cold?" Gu Qinghan asked as he walked forward.

"No... Forehead... I feel cold when you say that. ”

Gu Qinghan was speechless, turned his head to look at her, and then took off the coat on his body and handed it to Yu Zhiqiu.

"Wear it, I don't know if there are anyone else here." Gu Qinghan felt that Yu Zhiqiu was very problematic, but he had not shown any intention to harm him until now.

"Big brother, you're so good, are you doing this to every girl?" Yu Zhiqiu tightened his coat and said a word.

"Then give me back your coat." Gu Qinghan thought to himself if this person was familiar or something.

Yu Zhiqiu was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed a figure on the path in front of him.

"There's someone up ahead!"

Needless to say, Gu Qinghan also noticed it, and subconsciously quickened his pace and rushed forward.

"Eh, you wait for me..."Yu Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

"This big brother! Are you a villager here? Gu Qinghan quickly walked behind the man and patted him.

The man turned his head, his eyelids raised slightly to look at him, and then moved his gaze to Yu Zhiqiu who was behind, Gu Qinghan noticed that his gaze obviously paused on Yu Zhiqiu.

"Where did you come from?"

"From a hall in the back of here, big brother, are you a resident here, we..."

Before Gu Qinghan's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a man with a gesture.

"The hall? Then you're the new ones this time, and I'm going to pick you up later. ”

Gu Qinghan said: "Newcomer? ”

The man smiled, like a curve scraped into the lateral surface of a muscle, "Come with me, it saves a lot of time." ”

Gu Qinghan couldn't figure out his words, so he had to nod and walk behind him with Yu Zhiqiu.

The three of them didn't walk long before they came to a village, it was still bright a few minutes ago, but when they reached the gate of the village, the sky suddenly darkened.

"You're lucky, I didn't expect this evening to come so quickly." The man twisted his neck unnaturally, and they stopped as they reached a room on the third floor and the bottom floor.

"It's me, Shiraishi."

Soon, there was an unlocking sound at the back of the door, and Shiraishi rattled the door open and walked in first.

Gu Qinghan pulled Yu Zhiqiu and found that her face had become a little ugly, thinking that she was scared.

"Let's go and see what's going on."

The two walked inside the door and saw what was inside.

In addition to them, there were eight other people, and Shiraishi, who had led them into the house earlier, sat on the sofa in the living room and said nothing.

Across from him, two others were watching the TV with a relaxed expression, three others were sitting at the dining table, as if discussing something, and the other two were staring at the TV screen with blank faces, as if they had lost their souls.

Including them still standing in the doorway, there were ten people in this room.

"Come and sit down, it seems that the number of people in this scene has been determined, and it is difficult for thirteen people." Shiraishi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit them to himself, and said to them.

Gu Qinghan blinked, obviously there were only ten people present, where did the thirteen come from?

Although he felt weird, he didn't say much, and sat on the bench next to Baishi with Yu Zhiqiu.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask, or should I explain it to you directly?" Shiraishi gave them a deep look.

"Hmm... Big brother, you say, I think I already have a rough idea in my heart. "If Gu Qinghan guessed correctly, among the eight people here, those two soulless people should have appeared here for the first time like them, and the other six people seem to be so-called "veterans".

Bai Shi nodded, looked at Gu Qinghan with a little appreciation, and said, "I have to say, you are different from those two idiots, at least your psychological quality is much better." ”

When he said this, he deliberately didn't include Yu Zhiqiu.

Gu Qinghan didn't realize this, and then said: "Then Brother Baishi, you just said the scene, and there are newcomers, are we in some kind of game now?" ”

"You guessed right, but it's a lot more dangerous than a game." Shiraishi's attitude is much better than at the beginning, and for people like them who have been through multiple scenes, the most annoying thing is dealing with newcomers.

Fortunately, Gu Qinghan didn't belong to the category of newcomers they didn't want to deal with.

Shiraishi continued, "First of all, I want to ask you a question, do you believe that there is a paranormal phenomenon in this world? ”

Gu Qinghan said: "Hmm... Believe it. ”

Shiraishi smiled, looked at him with that oozing smile and said, "Then do you believe that there are [ghosts] in the world?" ”

The other people in the room quieted down at the same time, focusing their eyes on Gu Qinghan.

"You've said so, how can I not believe it." Gu Qinghan shrugged his shoulders and unexpectedly accepted the meaning of Baishi's words.

"Originally, there were three people here, they were newcomers who came here last night, and they were not as lucky as you, and they just woke up and ran into that thing." Shiraishi lit another cigarette as soon as he finished puffing, inhaling sharply and slowly exhaling the smoke. "Those two men were so frightened that by the time we arrived, the five newcomers had survived two of them."

"Should you say that you are unlucky or lucky, you were chosen to come here, you must know that the thirteen people difficulty scene is very high for a newcomer like you."

Gu Qinghan just sighed, and didn't react much.

Seeing this, Shiraishi continued.

"The mission in every scene is simple, to slaughter us before it kills us all. Of course, sometimes there will be other tasks, which may be for you personally, and if you complete them, there will be unexpected rewards. ”

"What reward?" Gu Qinghan asked.

"Like, this." Bai Shi pointed behind Gu Qinghan, he only felt a cool breeze blowing in his ears, and then he heard a muffled sound.

Bai Shi motioned for him to turn back, Gu Qinghan turned his head to look, but there was a hideous crack on the originally smooth wall behind him at this moment.

"You can think of it as superpowers, and we get some rebates after each scene. If you're lucky enough to be like me, you'll also have weapons and money. Speaking of this, Shiraishi sneered, "Who can survive without this shit reward." ”

"Can we go back to the original world after the scene is over?" Gu Qinghan asked.

"Yes, and the ability will be retained, but after ten days, it will still be forced to a new scene, and the more scenes you experience, the more days you will have. There will be a hint for you before entering the scene, have you read an infinite stream novel? You can interpret it all like that. ”

Gu Qinghan nodded.

"I'll tell you the rest tomorrow, if I can see you tomorrow." Shiraishi finished smoking, threw the cigarette butt on the floor and stepped on it fiercely, "The villagers in the village try not to touch it, the ghost knows if they are people or what, the general scene characters are taboo, in the last scene, there was a newcomer who was not afraid of death provoked the scene characters, and the whole person was squeezed into the sewer." ”

"I have a question, you mentioned infinite streaming earlier, so will the scenes we experience be the same as in the horror movies?" Gu Qinghan was silent for a while, and then asked again.

"That's right, but it won't develop like the plot of the movie, we just come to that kind of scene, and it has nothing to do with the plot that was filmed. There will be no protagonists and supporting characters here, just our group of guinea pigs. Shiraishi got up and walked upstairs, and the rest of the people, including the two and their newcomers, followed.

"It can attack us at any time, when you sleep, when you eat, even when you go to the toilet, in short, be careful."

After finishing the order, Bai Shi, who had already walked to the second floor, suddenly turned his head, stared at Yu Zhiqiu and said, "It's really interesting, I hope you don't die tonight in the thirteen-person difficulty scene." ”

Only Gu Qinghan and Yu Zhiqiu were left in the hall.

"Shall we go up too?" Gu Qinghan didn't ask Yu Zhiqiu much if he knew Bai Shi, he could see that this girl had something to hide, but it had nothing to do with him.

He's always been very adaptable, and now that he's here, he can't just die like this for no apparent reason.

The two of them came to the second floor, as if it had been arranged, only the two adjacent rooms were empty.

"Then I'll go in first, and if you have something, you can knock on the door." Gu Qinghan coughed lightly, and before Yu Zhiqiu could answer, he entered the room and prepared to close the door.

Who knows, Yu Zhiqiu's hind feet also followed.

"I'm suing you for trespassing on the house..."Gu Qinghan said with empty eyes and deliberately accentuated his tone.

"This isn't your room, I'm afraid we'll squeeze it alone." Yu Zhiqiu immediately made an aggrieved look, and two packets of tears suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Gu Qinghan: "......"

……

The equipment in the house is very complete, toiletries and cosmetics are available, and Yu Zhiqiu is already lying on the bed after Gu Qinghan finishes tidying up from the bathroom.

Gu Qinghan: "... Yes, I'm going to sleep on the floor, too. ”

It's a strange girl.,It doesn't look like a student should be calm.。

Gu Qinghan scratched his hair and sat on the floor carefully recalling every word Bai Shi said to him.

The newcomer, the scene, it, the superpowers.

If there really are ghosts, can he survive as an ordinary person?

and Yu Zhiqiu, judging from Baishi's reaction, these two people must know each other, which shows that Yu Zhiqiu has also experienced more than one scene like Baishi, so why did she appear in the hall with herself?

He didn't know what the concept of the difficulty of thirteen people was, but judging from the two people who were scared out of their souls, it was estimated that their lives were in danger, especially for a newcomer like him.

"Ahh It feels like a prank when I think about it, and if I hadn't seen him crack the wall with a flick of his finger, I might have thought I was dreaming. ”

Gu Qinghan thought for a while, and didn't come back to his senses until the beauty on the bed came from the sound of even breathing.

He glanced at his phone, and it was zero o'clock.

"Forget it, let's sleep first, survive this..."

Gu Qinghan suddenly snorted, and hurriedly shoehorned back some kind of death flag.

He got up from the floor and walked to the bathroom to rinse his mouth before going to sleep.

"Alas, it would be nice if the computer was next to me, and it could be used as material for a new book, but it's a pity."

Gu Da Writer thought about it shamelessly, came to the bathroom and closed the door, and prepared to rinse his mouth and sleep after a little relief.

Standing in front of the mirror, his face was a little unnaturally pale, Gu Qinghan rubbed his face, feeling tired for a while.

"I'm a stucco maker, I have strong painting skills, I'm going to paint that room..."

Suddenly, Gu Qinghan, who had just picked up the tooth cup, froze in place, and it was only then that he discovered a terrible thing.

Before coming out, his tooth cup was on the right side of the sink, but now it is on the left.

Even the position of the cosmetics was reversed, and he looked up and saw the shower head behind him through the mirror.

The unkempt head, which was originally on the right side, is now hanging on the left side.

He slowly put the tooth cup back in his place, trying to get out of here.

The closed faucet suddenly made a terrible noise, and dark red blood began to gush out of it.

The blood was like a viscous pigment that gathered together in the sink, revealing strange patterns.

It's like an eye.

The fishy smell of blood filled the entire bathroom, and Gu Qinghan felt as if he was in a sea of blood, and every breath felt like drinking a big mouthful of blood.

He opened the bathroom door with a numb scalp, but saw Yu Zhiqiu standing at the door looking at him with a stunned expression.

At this moment, Gu Qinghan's face turned pale as if it had faded, Yu Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then knew that something was wrong, so he took his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I..." As soon as Gu Qinghan's front foot stepped out, the strong smell of blood dissipated most of it, he held Yu Zhiqiu's hand, but suddenly saw her wearing her own coat.

His jacket has a pocket on the left chest, which he usually uses for headphones.

But now, this pocket is appearing on the right side.

Gu Qinghan's expression froze, let go of Yu Zhiqiu's hand and stepped back.

"What's wrong, Gu Qinghan?" Yu Zhiqiu was overwhelmed by his move, showing a puzzled look.

"Hehe... I'm so fucking lucky. Gu Qinghan stared at her with a smile, and slammed the bathroom door shut and locked it.

Outside the door, Yu Zhiqiu knocked on the door and asked anxiously, "Hey! What's wrong, open the door! ”

"I'll fuck you."

The sink was filled with blood and slowly slid down the white porcelain wall.

He looked up at the mirror and could clearly see the pale face of "himself" in the mirror smiling.

A little bead of blood oozed from the mirror, flowing out along the smooth edge, just like Gu Qinghan in the mirror dripping blood.

"Gu Qinghan, Qinghan! Open the door! Outside the door, "Yu Zhiqiu" was still banging on the door, her voice became distorted and harsh, and Gu Qinghan's brain swelled.

"If I have the ability, I won't open the door, you just knock." Gu Qinghan simply sat down with his back against the door, closed his eyes, and covered his ears to calm himself down.

The screams behind his ears turned into a terrible howl, and the monster behind the door showed its real face.

I don't know how long it took, when Gu Qinghan's hands were sore, someone patted him from the back.

"Hey, are you sleeping here?"

The fresh air that had not been seen for a long time filled his nasal cavity, Gu Qinghan opened his eyes, turned his head and saw the jade feet that looked unusually white and tender when he stepped on the carpet.

Yu Zhiqiu was still wearing his coat, squatting down and looking at him calmly.

Gu Qinghan was speechless, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the position of the pocket was on her left heart.

"I think I almost lost my life just now." Gu Qinghan said in a tone that would last for the rest of his life.

"yes, I know." Yu Zhiqiu's eyes picked up, but he laughed.

"Sleep, it's all right at night."

Gu Qinghan: "......... "Can I still sleep here?"
