Chapter IV

"It's what you earned." The man handed the two chips to Chen Xizhou, but Chen Xizhou did not take them.

"I didn't win."

"Even if you don't win, then this should be returned to you." The man said with a smile.

Chen Xizhou looked at the man in front of him, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, about forty years old, speaking calmly and sophisticatedly, but with a kind smile. He didn't know who this person was and why he was so polite to him.

"I don't even know you, you won this money, you take it." Chen Xizhou was about to leave his seat, "Besides, I'm not interested." ”

"Really?" The man was still smiling, and he was prepared for his refusal.

So, the man accepted the chips and said, "Those two chips should be deposited with me by you, and the next time we meet, I will return them to you with interest." ”

"It doesn't matter." Chen Xizhou waved his hand and left the fighting room.

Just as he walked out the door, he suddenly noticed a familiar back, a girl with short hair flashing through the crowd. Her pink hair was so eye-catching that Chen Xizhou recognized her at a moment.

So he hurriedly chased after her, found her back from the crowd, and couldn't help shouting: "Yuki! ”

She looked back, and this time her face was no longer the big pair of sunglasses, but a pair of round black vintage sunglasses. She hooked the frame with her index finger, and her big eyes passed through the crowd at once, hitting Chen Xizhou's heart.

What's going on? Why does the heart beat so fast?

Is it because of the music in the house? The pace is so fast that it brings people up?

He wanted to speed up his pace, but suddenly a bell rang in his ears, rhythmic and familiar...... Ding Lingling, Ding Lingling...... And so on and on.

Is it an alarm clock......

"Which game will you go to next time?" Chen Xizhou seized the last time and hurriedly asked.

"Cave, go?" She chuckled, then asked with an eyebrow.

"Go! Wait for me! Chen Xizhou immediately agreed, "Three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”

After saying that, he had to leave the game, and just before turning off the device on his ear, he received Yuki's smile from the outside, which was more pleasing and satisfying than guessing the box!

With the continuous sound of the alarm clock, Chen Xizhou finally returned to reality, and after turning it off, he was inexplicably excited, completely forgetting the fatigue of not sleeping all night.

If the alarm doesn't go off, he might be able to talk to Yuki again, but he has to wake up and go to work.

As soon as I left the house, I met a radish that was still yawning.

"Morning."

Radish was very surprised, how Chen Xizhou's state was so good.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I came back yesterday to see that you weren't listless, why are you in such good spirits now?" Radish looked at him carefully.

Chen Xizhou smiled shyly: "It's nothing, I sleep well." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Radish didn't believe it.

The two went downstairs together and got ready to go to work with other colleagues in the company car. Chen Xizhou looked at the scenery outside the window all the way, and felt that the city was much more beautiful these days.

……

In the afternoon, seeing that it was about to be three o'clock, Chen Xizhou couldn't sit still, made preparations, and was ready to set off at any time.

"Where are you going?" Radish asked.

"Caves."

"Caves?" Radish jumped up from her chair suddenly, "You're not mistaken, are you?" ”

"Make no mistake!" Chen Xizhou's face was calm and light.

"Your first time going to a horror game, right?" Carrot looked at him, re-checking that he was not mistaken.

"That's right! For the first time. Chen Xizhou replied while looking at the time, "It's rare for me to experience it and see what it's like there." ”

"Crazy, crazy." Radish waved his hand, just about to return to his seat, but poked his head out curiously, "Then tell me how it is after you have experienced it......"

Chen Xizhou glanced at him: "Got it." ”

The time was almost up, this was indeed the first time Chen Xizhou had experienced a horror game, and he was not mentally prepared, so he quickly took a deep breath, pressed the button, and entered the game hall through a black door.

Entering the game, he comes to a dark land full of black hills. When you look up, you can see two crescents hanging in the night, and such a huge moon is like two knives, which will be inserted into the land in front of you at any time. Not far away, there is a blood-red planet, which is slowly approaching, and the whole atmosphere is cold and depressing.

Several people walked by one after another, but none of them were Yuki, they were looking for the cave they were about to enter. According to Chen Xizhou's previous understanding, each cave has a different experience, they can enter alone or in groups, until they find another exit underground, and then they can escape.

Chen Xizhou took advantage of Yuki's pre-existing game, and looked at several caves around him in advance, feeling that they were all dark and deep, and who knew what was inside.

Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder, which scared his whole body, and when he turned around, he realized that it was Yuki.

She laughed, the first time I saw her grinning, it was very sweet.

"What? Haven't you entered the game yet, are you scared? She laughs.

"You're calling it taking advantage of their unpreparedness." Chen Xizhou replied, "If I pat you from behind, see if you are afraid." ”

"Okay, let's try it next time." As soon as Yuki finished speaking, he took his hand and walked forward.

Chen Xizhou felt the temperature of her palm, and she panicked, and for the first time, she was pulled by her hand, and she felt ...... It's amazing.

"Don't be in a daze." Yuki pulled him closer, "Save time and go." ”

Chen Xizhou followed her stupidly, watching her walk, her pink hair swaying up and down, which was very funny.

"That's it!" Yuki finally stopped in front of a small hill, "Are you ready?" ”

"Alright, alright." Chen Xizhou finally took his eyes off her hair and returned to the black hole.

"Go in, keep up, I'm afraid you've been dragged away by something." She laughed, and stepped into the hole.

"I won't." Chen Xizhou said and hurriedly followed.

Although it's a dark cave, you can look around for something good for lighting, and with enough experience and guts, you should be able to play this game well. This is what Chen Xizhou kept telling himself in his mind.

At first, they were still groping aimlessly, walking against the rock wall, and around the corner, they saw the light in front of them.

Strips of blue things hung above like strips of light, hanging straight down. If you look at them closely, it seems that the fireflies are evenly glued together by the transparent slime, and like LED waiting, they become door curtains.

"Wait a minute." Yuki stopped, groping for anything on the ground.

"What are you looking for?" Chen Xizhou looked at her and looked down for something.

"Are you stupid?" Yuki said of him, "We're going to borrow their light!" ”

"How do I borrow it?"

"Found it!" Yuki found a stick on the ground, then glued it to the bands of light, and slowly rolled them up, gradually rolling them all onto the stick, forming a large light bulb.

"How did you come up with that?" Chen Xizhou asked with a smile.

Yuki glanced back at him to make sure he wasn't a fool, "Aren't you an evaluator?" Don't you know how to use this little prop? ”

"I've never been to this game." Chen Xizhou replied.

"Then you can follow along." "This is just the beginning, and there may be some beasts in the future." ”

"Really?" Hearing her say this, Chen Xizhou actually felt a chill in his back and became a little scared.

"That's right!" Yuki led the way in front, "Why else am I bringing you here?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Xizhou sounded a little wrong.

"When the beast is infested, I just fed you to it so that I would have enough time to escape."

"Isn't it?" Chen Xizhou glanced at Yuki's side, "Are you really going to do this?" ”

Yuki smiled and shook his head: "I was expecting you to be an evaluator, you can open a hanging, it seems that you are better than a rookie!" ”

Chen Xizhou realized that she was joking with him.

"No, I really haven't played it, if I do, I'll take you."

"So, if there is a beast, will you protect me too?" Yuki asked.

Chen Xizhou was behind her, and she couldn't see her expression when she spoke, whether she was really testing him, but from the bottom of her heart, Chen Xizhou would still answer affirmatively: "Of course I will protect you!" ”

"Huh." Yuki chuckled crisply, then quickly withdrew her smile and continued to walk with him.

In this way, the two of them circled around the cave twice, and it seemed that nothing had happened, but it was a little boring.

"Have you heard of this game before?" Yuki asked.

"Of course." Chen Xizhou replied, "I've also heard that some people can't escape, and the evaluator comes in to save people." ”

"Ha, then this person is really cowardly." Yuki laughed, "I'll definitely be able to get out." ”

Chen Xizhou looked at her confident expression, that serious look, it was really very flattering. Well, in fact, in his heart, he has long liked her.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they walked out of the tunnel, and suddenly it became clear that there was a lake in the cave. The moonlight shines right above the high roof of the cave, shining on the calm surface of the lake, like a mirror.

Looking around, there is no other entrance except for the lake.

"What's next?" Chen Xizhou asked.

"I can't help it." Yuki put down the stick in his hand, then quickly took off his shoes, "Get ready for swimming." ”

"Huh?" Before Chen Xizhou could react, he only heard a sound of water, and Yuki had already jumped into the pool.

"What a daze! Come down! ”

Chen Xizhou had no choice but to take off his shoes immediately and jump into the water with her.

The water temperature was much colder than he had imagined, but there was no entrance ahead, was she ready to dive underwater? Before he could finish thinking about it, Yuki really smothered headlong into the water and kept going downstream. Chen Xizhou followed behind, he couldn't drag his legs, so he had to plunge into the water, the water was quite clear, he could see the aquatic plants shaking at the bottom of the water, and some messy human bones flickered in the aquatic plants, which frightened him all over, he felt that his feet were pulled by someone, and suddenly he couldn't move.

"Hmm...... Well...... Hmmm......" Chen Xizhou couldn't speak, so he had to make a nasal voice to attract Yuki's attention.

Yuki turned around and saw that Chen Xizhou was struggling with one leg, and hurriedly came over to help him, although he would soon be able to untie the water weed, but Chen Xizhou should be nervous, his legs were a little twitching, Yuki had to pull him to swim to the water, busy breathing a few big breaths of fresh air.

"You're not, aren't you?" Yuki's tone was a little reproachful, "You're a big man, do you want me to protect you?" ”

"No, it's not." Chen Xizhou was still a little gasped, "I used to just wander around the game, I really haven't experienced it much, and my game experience is very poor, I don't feel dangerous." ”

"Don't feel what the hell it is?" Yuki was visibly angry, "Don't you see the aquatic plants and don't know how to stay away?" ”

"I really didn't feel ......," Chen Xizhou looked aggrieved.

Yuki looked at him, and now that's it, let's all play together: "Then at least you're not blind, right?" ”

"Of course!"

"Then you should take a good look, and don't approach the dangerous ones." After Yuki finished speaking, he dived into the water again. ”

Chen Xizhou had no choice but to rub his feet that had just been pumped, and anyway, it was over quickly, and he jumped into the water.

Just deep in the water, there is a black hole, which is supposed to be an exit. Yuki swam inside without hesitation, followed by Chen Xizhou. Of course, he didn't want to push the girl back anymore, so he obediently looked around, and just after he swam into the cave with him, he suddenly felt the light behind him dim, as if something was coming with him.

It wasn't until they had broken through the hole that he looked back again, but nothing came out.

It's kind of weird.

Yuki had swam out of the water, and as she went, the water became shallower and shallower, and she could already stand up, the water just spilling over her waist. Chen Xizhou followed behind her, slowly getting up, and wadling in the water.

"I just saw something." Chen Xizhou said.

"What's that?" Yuki didn't look back, and continued walking, and there was another tunnel in front of him, and the water flowed all the way to that end.

"I don't know, there's something black." Chen Xizhou wasn't sure, and she didn't know if she was wrong, anyway, she said it in advance, lest she feel that she would drag her feet again.

"Big or small?" Yuki continued to ask.

Chen Xizhou couldn't see it clearly, he just felt that he saw a shadow.

"I didn't pay attention." He said, "Do you say there are fish in this water?" ”

"Fish?" Yuki looked back at him.

"It's a piranha or something?" Chen Xizhou guessed.

Yuki's eyebrows moved, and he was puzzled: "Is it possible?" ”

"I'm guessing, I just saw a lot of bones under the water, could it be that there are piranhas trying to eat people?"

"Not really!" Yuki turned around and prepared to continue walking, "Aren't those things you set up in to scare people?" ”

"Okay." Chen Xizhou glanced back worriedly, feeling that the calm water surface was slightly floating, but I hope it was just a psychological effect.
