Chapter 12 Warm Hospitality
"I thought about it when I saw this room, and now from you, I'm even more sure of it."
Seeing that the young man had already guessed it, Qin Ming couldn't help asking:
"And what are you going to do next?"
The boy did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically:
"What do you think the entrance test is trying to test us?"
Qin Ming shook his head uncertainly, wanting to hear what the young man had to say.
"I think it's adaptability.
Especially those supernatural events that are absolutely unbelievable in the eyes of ordinary people.
You should have found out, too.
From the first level of the nightmare to the tailgating of the female ghost in red, and then to this haunted house.
Everything we face in the test has to do with ghosts.
And for this kind of thing, you should be familiar with it. ”
"I've seen those things a few times, but I don't really know what they are.
Do you know? ”
"I don't know much, but I know something.
This kind of thing is collectively called sneaky.
He likes to devour all kinds of negative emotions born of human beings, and even flesh and blood.
It is a very terrifying humanoid monster.
But the ghosts that people often talk about are not a thing. ”
"Why do you know this?" Qin Ming asked in surprise after hearing this.
"That's not the point of our discussion." The young man obviously didn't reveal what he meant to Qin Ming, but said to himself:
"If I'm right, then this haunted house is the place for the second level of the test.
As for the mountains and forests that have been imprisoning us before, they are just a foreshadowing made by the school to allow us to come here. ”
Qin Ming was in line with the young man's thoughts on this point, and he agreed:
"Yes, if it weren't for the long journey before, and the sleepiness of each of us, but the appearance of such a hut at the beginning, I don't think any of us would have stayed, even if the owner of the house had said that the sky had fallen.
But as we went all the way, not only did we exhaust our physical strength, but also because of the unknown length, it wore out the defenses in our hearts.
That's why that gained our trust so easily. ”
For Qin Ming to be able to realize this, the young man did not have any surprises, because in his opinion, this is the most basic analysis and judgment ability.
As for the people in the room who don't realize it, they are undoubtedly a bunch of idiots.
"But then again, I'm still a little unsure of what I do."
Qin Ming thought about it and said.
"Are you worried, the female ghost in red?
Afraid that if we escape from the hut, we will become the prey of each other because we are alone. ”
The young man had obviously guessed Qin Ming's concern.
"Yes. In fact, I couldn't figure it out either.
Since the cabin in the forest is the test of the second level, why does the red-clothed ghost appear in the mountain forest?
And it's just tailgating all the way. ”
"Have you ever wondered what would happen if we chose to give up on the way to this hut because of physical strength or mentality?"
"You mean, the red-clothed ghost in the mountains and forests will attack the people who give up in the middle of the attack?"
"I can only say that this is another possibility." The boy didn't say anything to death.
"And what are you going to do next? Do you want to run away now? ”
Qin Ming felt that the young man had no intention of fleeing immediately.
"It's not time yet."
At this point, the boy paused and explained:
"Sneaky this kind of thing, because it likes to eat the negative emotions of humans, and likes to torture humans.
So after becoming its prey, there will be a period of play.
During this period of the game, Sneaky is not in a hurry to kill, but will do his best to raise everyone's negative emotions to the limit.
Therefore, this game period is also called the sneaky safety period.
But if before this safe period is fully formed, it is sneakily aware that a prey has discovered the truth, then it will not hesitate to kill the prey. ”
Qin Ming felt that he seemed to understand the meaning of the young man, so he asked:
"You're saying that the sneaky safe period hasn't fully formed yet.
So as soon as we escape, it will go after us like crazy. ”
"That's it, so we want to escape, at least until its safe period is established.
In this way, even if we run away and are discovered by it, it will avoid being detected by the remaining prey, and will not chase us to the death.
However, the two of us are alone in terms of quantity, and it is easy to be used as a target by sneakers.
So you can call that idiot on.
If there are three people, even if they encounter danger and flee separately, they can create a greater probability of escape for each other. ”
The idiot in the young man's mouth is obviously Yi Shaodong, who is always thinking about repairing him.
"What about the others? Will it die? ”
"It depends on how cruel this test is.
Half may, half probably not. ”
When the young man said this, after seeing Qin Ming struggling a little, he added:
"There were two people eliminated in the first level, and if the rest were eliminated in the second level, we would have moved up the ranks.
At the end of the test, you will also get better rewards.
You should also be aware that this is a race for our personal interests.
All of you are competitors. ”
"You don't have to worry about me saying it.
Because the people who can know the answer, both here and in reality, are very few people.
I don't have any reason to help them, especially if he's not friends with the others. ”
Although Qin Ming is not bad-hearted, he is not a good person.
can only be counted as a normal person.
Although if they only care about their own escape, and do not tell the truth, it will lead to some people in danger.
He's like the boy said, it's a race to find answers, and everyone has the right to find answers, and at the same time they have the right to hide answers.
What's more, except for Yi Shaodong here, let alone no friends from him, even if he doesn't even have an acquaintance.
Seeing Qin Ming's statement, the young man nodded symbolically and said lightly:
"That's for the best."
Qin Ming wanted to say something more, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, which also frightened him and hurriedly turned his head to look at the hut behind him.
Then the old lady was standing by the door of the house, holding a large steaming basin in her hand, staring at them coldly.
Seeing that they noticed this, the old lady said a little hoarsely:
"The meal is ready, come in and eat."
As he spoke, Qin Ming noticed with great coldness that two shriveled eyeballs fell from the old lady's sunken eye sockets, and then fell into the steaming vegetable basin.
Qin Ming and the young man were afraid of being suspected by the old lady, so they returned to the house.
After they came back, everyone, including Yi Shaodong, was like a hungry wolf, sitting around the table, constantly waving the chopsticks in their hands, and devouring them.
"I've never had such a delicious stew."
"yes, it's delicious."
While eating, the students praised the old lady's cooking skills.
Qin Ming and the young man also symbolically squeezed to the table, picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the bottomed vegetable basin, pretending to make a few gestures.
But nothing was clamped up.
The sour water in his stomach kept rushing upward, and Qin Ming kept hinting in his heart that he had diverted his attention so that he wouldn't vomit.
Speaking of which, he really couldn't figure out how good it could be to stew mainly rats and centipedes, mixed with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten tree bark.
Even if you can't see it, can't you eat it?
Yi Shaodong ate a sweet mouth, Qin Ming secretly kicked him a few times, Yi Shaodong may also realize something, the mouth that was originally very loud "let's chirp" was suddenly closed.
With a-eating expression.
But he quickly figured it out, so he opened his mouth again with a loud "chirp" as before.
Qin Ming felt that Yi Shaodong couldn't be regarded as an ordinary person at all, not to mention that he didn't eat, even if he really ate a lot of, he might not be too surprised.
What really surprised him was the cute girl with dyed green hair sitting diagonally across from him.
The girl's name is An Zili.
Just like him and the boy, he just pretended to move his chopsticks and ate the contents of the basin.
In fact, he didn't move.
Qin Ming wasn't sure if An Zili had noticed something, or if the boy had reminded her before.
Feeling Qin Ming's gaze, An Zili raised his head and stuck out his tongue at him, not knowing what he was expressing.
A whole large pot of vegetables was completely wiped out by everyone in a very short period of time.
Before they had eaten, they were very tired, but they were still barely able to support themselves because they were so hungry.
But as the stomach was filled, the comfort brought by a full stomach increased, and everyone counted one by one, and they were so sleepy that it was difficult to open their eyes.
"It's a small room, so you'll just spend the night.
My son will be here tomorrow morning. ”
"Then grandma, where do you sleep?"
"You don't have to worry about me, I have a place to sleep."
The old lady helped everyone on the ground, and after laying out a few things, she reminded them to rest quickly.
None of them are picky, except for the girls who sleep on the bed, everyone else sleeps on the floor.
"We're going to have to find a chance to escape in a moment, you.
Have you forgotten that you just ate a stomach full of dead centipedes? ”
Considering the escape, Qin Ming didn't want Yi Shaodong to really sleep.
I wanted to disgust him, but Yi Shaodong didn't eat this set at all:
"Whatever you eat is going to turn into a lump anyway, so it doesn't matter.
No, I'm sleepy. ”
After Yi Shaodong finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Qin Ming, and began to snore after a few seconds.
"Nyima Cowbi."
Qin Ming really admired Yi Shaodong a little, his ability to eat and sleep.
You must know that he is different from others, and other people can sleep because they don't know the truth that the old lady is a ghost, but Yi Shaodong knows it, and he can still sleep in seconds.
In addition to pigs, he really couldn't imagine that there were other animals similar to Yi Shaodong.
