Chapter 5: The Bloody Hand and the Road to Return
A series of hurried footsteps approached quickly, and judging by the severity of the footsteps, it was an adult man. Bai Siyi didn't know what his psychology was, and when he knew that the other party might be a strong man, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. If it's a woman, or a child, she really doesn't know if she can wield the scissors in her hand.
Before the man could rush in front of the corpse, he waved his arm first, and a pale yellow smoke quickly filled the air, and the range of the smoke was dozens of cubic meters in size, just enveloping the corpse and the man's figure.
This should be the man's ability. Bai Siyi didn't know the effect of these smokes, thinking about it, the ability of smoke is nothing more than inhaling it in the body, or stimulating the eyes to produce an effect. Bai Si was very glad that he was now a corpse, after all, the corpse did not need to breathe, and it would not be stimulated by the smoke to tears.
The man's footsteps slowed down after emitting a cloud of smoke. Bai Si thought that this smoke might still have the effect of shielding other people's prying eyes, which was a good place for Bai Siyi.
The man stopped one meter away from Bai Si, and cautiously did not step forward, as if he was a little puzzled by the calm reaction of the corpse lying on the ground. Bai Siyi hurriedly shook his body a few times, making a very painful movement to scratch his throat, and the man was immediately relieved, and moved his feet again to the corpse's side.
The man first stretched out his foot and kicked the corpse twice, as if to confirm that the person on the ground was still capable of resisting. The man looked at the red blood of the corpse that stained half of his body a few more times, and presumably felt that this person was not in any danger, so he bent down. A somewhat gruff voice suddenly sounded in the corpse's ears.
"I'm sorry, big brother, we were all forced. You see you're dying, too, so let's take a cheap bro. ”
The man did not do it immediately, but tried to pull the corpse's arm and walk back in the direction he had come. The man's hand touched the cold skin of the corpse, and he was suddenly startled by this body temperature far below that of a human, and let out a surprised "ah".
Bai Siyi's heart tightened slightly, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, and he could only do it now.
Bai Siyi suddenly rolled over, stretched out an arm, and hugged the man's neck. The man was startled and wanted to straighten up and push away the person who was hugging him. Bai Siyi felt that he had used all the strength of his life to prevent this person from leaving his arm. The man's reaction was also quite fast, and after pulling the corpse's arm a few times and finding that he had no way to break free, he decisively waved the short knife in his other hand and stabbed the corpse a few times in the waist and abdomen. Suddenly, the wound on the corpse's waist and abdomen was torn even bigger. Bai Si suspected that the internal organs of this corpse would fall out along this wound.
Bai Siyi mouthed and silently said sorry to the man, then raised the scissors, aimed them at the man's neck, and stabbed them hard. Suddenly, the man let out a howl of extreme pain, and a large amount of blood began to splatter from his neck. The man immediately let go of the knife that kept stabbing at the corpse, trying to cover his neck with his hand, which was constantly spurting blood.
Bai Siyi knew that the man's movements were all in vain. Judging by the speed at which blood splattered on his neck, the scissors must have hit the man's carotid artery. This kind of injury, even if it is immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, there is no way to recover. Bai Siyi let go of his arm. The corpse will not pant and sweat, but at this moment, Bai Siyi felt that the corpse's palms were full of sweat, and his chest was like a bellows, rising and falling sharply.
The man broke free from the body's arm and turned to flee back to the building he had come from, but after running two steps, his feet went limp and he fell to the ground. The man was still trying to hold the wound on his neck with his hand, and crawled forward step by step, the blood flowing from his neck slowly spreading on the ground, staining a large area of cement pavement.
Finally, the man didn't move. A mechanical electronic tone also sounded in Bai Siyi's ears.
"Kill a novice player, get 100 death points, the novice mission has been completed, do you want to enter the official game now?"
Bai Siyi was silent for a few seconds, and asked in his heart, "What will happen if you don't enter for the time being?" ”
The voice actually answered her question, "Players choose not to enter the official game scene for the time being, and you can choose to enter the official game at any time later." ”
Bai Si was relieved, this was the answer she hoped for.
The yellow smoke in the air slowly dissipated, and Bai Siyi stood quietly for a while, and finally stepped forward and turned the man's body over. Ironically, it was only now that Bai Siyi had the opportunity to see the face of the man she had killed with her own hands.
This is a face that belongs to a middle-aged man, this face is not kind, and the two horizontal flesh make this middle-aged man look a little fierce. The man's slightly open back lips leaked out a few teeth yellowed by cigarette smoke. The man wears a large loose vest and a tattoo of a wolf's head on one of his muscular arms.
Bai Siyi stared at the face tightly. Surprisingly, she didn't have the nausea and nausea she felt after killing someone with her own hands for the first time. Maybe it's because she's a corpse now and doesn't have this function, or maybe it's because the death of the antler-for-horn man she's seen before is too shocking, making the death of the man in front of her seem so peaceful and natural.
Bai Siyi's heart was torn by guilt and almost dripped blood, but she still didn't take her eyes off the dead man. She wanted to remember this face, to remember every detail of this face, and to keep it until the day she was killed by someone else. It was this man who had never lived in life who exchanged his life for Bai Siyi's temporary survival, and she should face the sins she had created, and she should not run away. This is the greatest respect for the lives that have been lost. ,
Suddenly, the silence was pierced by a poignant girl's voice.
"Daddy!"
The voice came from the upper floors of the building where the dead man came. The girl's voice was so desperate that it was as if the whole world was about to burst apart in this terrible scream.
Bai Si was stunned for a moment, then couldn't control his body, turned around and fled in embarrassment. In an instant, the courage to face sin, the dedication to respect life, were all mercilessly swallowed up by a fear that emerged from the heart.
That girl shouldn't be calling the middle-aged man who died. While stumbling up the broken three-story staircase, Bai Siyi tried to convince himself. However, a small detail uncontrollably came to her mind. When the middle-aged man walked up to her, he didn't want to kill her immediately, but wanted to drag her out to the building. This shouldn't be a man who wants to take her to a hidden place and kill her slowly, after all, in this world, one more delay will lead to one more accident. It should be that in that building, there is someone who needs to complete the task more immediately. And the man thinks that the person has no way to complete the task on his own, so the man wants to bring himself back to the person who is waiting for him. This is also the reason why the dead man rushed out when he found a seriously injured and dying man on the ground.
Bai Siyi's heart was almost torn in half by pain and guilt. Just now, she killed a father who was protecting his daughter. Not far away, a girl who may have been very weak saw her father killed in front of her. Bai Siyi had no choice but to kill in order to survive, but how could the little girl who lost her father live?
Bai Siyi was not chased by anyone, but she felt that if she didn't run as fast as she could, she would be swallowed by the hideous beast behind her, chewing so much that there was nothing left of the bones.
The corpse controlled by Bai Siyi slammed into the iron door of the room, and she remembered that she had closed the iron door when she left the room. However, she didn't have the slightest intention of switching bodies to open the door for herself. She leaned the body against the door and sat down on the ground.
She didn't know what she was waiting for, was she waiting for the little girl to chase after her? And then give life back to this child who has lost his father? Bai Siyi sighed in her heart, she is a selfish person, and she desperately wants to live, otherwise she would not choose to kill people to complete the task. If this little girl had caught up, she would not have given her life back like this. So, kill this little girl again and reunite her with her father? Anyway, it is difficult for her to live alone in this world, and it also saves the trouble she may have in the future. Bai Siyi trembled with fear at the thought that suddenly came to him.
Why, why do humans always have so many evil and dirty thoughts? At this moment, Bai Siyi felt that he was even more disgusting than the cockroach in the dark crevices. At the very least, cockroaches don't have the idea of killing their own kind just because they want to avoid trouble.
Bai Siyi knew that she couldn't push herself into that situation, be killed by the girl after facing her, or kill the girl. So, even if the girl doesn't catch up now, she has to go.
Bai Si switched his attention back to his body. Got up from a pile of cardboard boxes, groped his way to the door, opened the iron door, and then grabbed the corpse's cold arm with his hand. She whispered silently in her mind to an unknown being, "Teleport to the game." A mechanical voice immediately replied, "Teleportation begins." ”
Bai Siyi felt that he started from his feet and slowly melted and dissipated into the air. I don't know if the corpses around her also started from the feet and dissipated with her. Bai Siyi was not in the mood to experience the strange sensation of the first teleportation, because she heard the sound of footsteps hurrying up the stairs.
Before she could finally teleport completely, she heard the girl's firm and fierce voice.
"I must..."
There must be something, Bai Siyi didn't hear it. I guess it's an oath that I will find you, I will take revenge, I will kill you, and so on.
At this moment, Bai Siyi has come to a new world.
Bai Siyi tried to suppress the bitterness and uneasiness in his heart, switched his attention to the corpse, and looked around a little blankly. The first thing she saw was darkness. But unlike the absolute darkness of losing her eyes, she could see faint dots of light floating from nowhere. These smoky points of light circled around her, and the light was not strong enough to make people see. However, these bands of light and clouds of light, composed of points of light with colorful shimmers, give people a hazy beauty of being in a dream, and one can't help but get lost in them.
"Welcome to the Road of Return." A lazy voice rang in my ears. It was a man's voice, not the mechanical voice that had once echoed in Bai Siyi's mind. The man's voice was actually deep and magnetic, and if he could speak more seriously than say the welcome in such a casual tone, it would definitely make people feel a little happier in their hearts.
"This way, this way." The owner of the voice, seeing that Bai Siyi was still at a loss, spoke again with some impatience, "I said, where do you look, go forward, I am most afraid of you newcomers, and it will take so long to see a corridor returning from a dungeon." ”
Only then did Bai Siyi realize that directly in front of her, there was a place that was a little brighter than other places. Beneath that faint white light, there was something. Bai Si took his breath and let the corpse support his body, and the two figures staggered towards the front together.
It may be that the delay in this process is a bit long, and the male voice urges again.
Because of the corpse's poor eyesight, when he was about to hit the object, Bai Siyi saw the scene in front of him clearly.
It was a large mahogany desk, empty above it, and a chair behind it, which was swaying in the air on its legs at a strange angle. Bai Siyi looked around again, but he didn't see anything in front of him that could emit human sounds.
"I said, Uncle Ben is sitting on the chair." The man's voice rang in his ears.
Bai Si turned his head and searched the chair carefully for a moment, only to find a shadow that was slightly darker than the color of the space next to him. It was the silhouette of a human, sitting in a chair, with its legs crossed on the mahogany desk, constantly rocking the chair underneath its ass back and forth.
Bai Siyi immediately labeled this person who couldn't see his body as a second-year young man, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The shadow of the middle two who didn't know it spoke again.
"You look so ugly! Uh, I mean embarrassed, tsk, how did you manage to make yourself like this? After the voice gave an ugly evaluation, perhaps it felt that the corpse's gaze staring at him was a little frightening, or it temporarily changed its tone to an embarrassing evaluation.
Bai Siyi didn't want to say a word to this middle two anymore. Although, she was not a beautiful woman before, but at least she was a beautiful woman, in just one day after entering this ghost world, her eyes were gouged out, her head was opened, she was covered in blood, and there was a corpse with a pale stomach and a rotten stomach standing next to her, if she couldn't be ugly, it would be strange.
The second middle school also seemed a little embarrassed, and spoke again as if compensating.
"For your sake, I'll send you a message for free, and after you go out for a while, find a hospital first and deal with your eyes. When the time comes, don't listen to those doctors fool you, just say that you can just deal with the trauma all over your body. ”
Bai Siyi just wanted to say thank you for this middle school second words, but he heard the middle school second add a sentence immediately.
"However, you are so poor, I guess those ghouls don't bother to fool you."
Suddenly, Bai Siyi felt that it was too wise not to rush to say thank you.
"Okay, okay, you don't have any questions to ask, do you? Then let's go, just keep going to the back. I hope you'll live to see me next time. A faint shadow that seemed to be a hand shook in front of Bai Siyi, as if trying to chase her away like a fly.
Bai Siyi suddenly didn't want to talk to this middle two even more. From the time she came to this so-called return road to the present, she has not said a word. It's always been this secondary two who is here to talk to himself, okay? However, she really has two questions, and she must seize this opportunity to ask this person who may have answers.
"I want to ask, what happens to the dead." Bai Siyi used his body and spoke hoarsely. It seems that after this whole day's changes, even her voice has become a little lower and hoarse.
The middle two seemed to be stunned for a few seconds before answering his question in an indifferent tone.
"To be dead is to be dead, life is over, people are gone. This is a question that elementary school students can understand. ”
Bai Siyi fell silent for a moment. That's what she had predicted, wasn't it?
"Hurry up, if I had to answer every newcomer's question, then I wouldn't have died of exhaustion."
Bai Si glanced at the faint shadow, and slowly asked his second question.
"Last question, who are you?"
Bai Siyi felt that she was hallucinating in front of her eyes, because after she asked this question, she actually saw a row of white and neat teeth on a face that could not see the shadow of the body, which is clearly a phenomenon that only occurs when humans are very happy.
"I like this question, so I'll give you the answer reluctantly. Remember. ”
The shadow answered her question in a cheerful tone.
