Chapter 2 Hiding in the Dark
Although the words on the watch are a bit of a middle two, it is also clear that Bai Ji must enter the so-called hotel by 6 o'clock in the morning of July 27, that is, 6 o'clock today, and if he does not meet the time limit, he will be re-killed by the "system".
It's 3:40 now, and it's almost two and a half hours before 6 o'clock, and if Bai Ji hasn't left N City, as long as he is given a relatively normal vehicle, he can go to any corner of N City in two hours.
Thinking about it, Bai Ji turned the watch to the map page with his mind.
Although it was a map, Bai Ji felt that it was like a radar map, and the surrounding buildings were all outlined by some green lines, and the names of the buildings were marked on the top of each building. The place where Bai Ji is located is Hengyu Shangdu, which is a large supermarket located in the center of N City.
As soon as he saw that he hadn't left N City yet, Bai Ji also had a little bottom in his heart. Although N City is not Bai Ji's hometown, he has also lived here for nearly ten years, and he walks the streets and alleys when he is free on weekdays, so it can be said that Bai Ji knows every street in N City well.
"It's the outskirts of the city." Along the red route of the map, Bai Ji found a highlighted red dot, presumably the destination "hotel". What puzzled Bai Ji was that although there were some large-scale buildings on the outskirts of the city, the place marked on the map was an area to be developed, and there were no hotels at all.
Could it be that "hotel" is just a code name for a secret base? Bai Ji was a little confused, but he didn't dare to doubt that the "system" would kill him again.
He who dies once never wants to die a second time. Bai Ji suddenly said that sentence came out of his head, but now is not the time to think about it, Bai Ji weighed the desert eagle in his hand, he had the experience of holding a gun before, but after all, the desert eagle is a pure metal killing weapon, twice the weight of an ordinary pistol, and it has been very heavy in his hand.
"Now that you can use a pistol, something unexpected will happen." Bai Ji tilted his head, and after making sure that the pistol's safety was not opened, he tucked it into the belt of his pants. By this time, he had almost recovered his condition, so he loosened his muscles, pushed open the door and left the women's clothing store.
As soon as the hind foot stepped out of the store, Bai Ji's head immediately sounded the cold mechanical voice from before: "You have left the safe zone, and the mission has officially begun." ”
At the same time, the lights of the clothing store behind him immediately dimmed, and Bai Ji was already in a dark supermarket.
At this time, it was late at night, and the supermarket was unsettling, as if all kinds of monsters were lurking in the dark, and only the faintly glowing safety lighting could bring people a hint of an illusory sense of security.
Bai Ji swallowed, and all the shops around him locked their doors, and the transparent glass doors scattered the only light, like pet cages one after another. Bai Ji never imagined that this supermarket would be so terrifying after it closed, and the humanoid mannequins in costumes seemed to be constantly watching him in the "cage".
It would be nice if I could meet the security guard by chance, Bai Ji thought, but obviously the time for the night patrol had passed, and the whole supermarket was like a huge coffin made of metal. At this time, Bai Ji realized that he seemed to have really fallen into some kind of panicked incident.
After a long time, Bai Ji finally walked slowly to the side, as if he was afraid of waking up the monster in the dark. Now he is on the seventh floor of the supermarket, the elevator has been suspended, and the sign on his head is written with four green words for safety exit, but compared to the darker safety exit, Bai Ji is more willing to take the escalator that has stopped working.
It was only a distance of two or three hundred meters, but Bai Ji walked unusually slowly, because his mind had already begun to recall the words that Xiao Ai said before leaving-I wish you a happy hunt and look directly at death.
What to hunt? And at this moment, Bai Ji suddenly heard a faint movement, the sound was extremely small, but it was extremely clear in the completely quiet supermarket. Bai Ji turned his head in horror, took out the heavy pistol from the waistband of his trousers, and asked the counter beside him in a low voice, "Who?" Who's where? ”
There was obviously something hiding in the counter, and when Bai Ji asked him like this, the entire counter trembled. Bai Ji's heart was even more nervous, his left hand quickly opened the safe, and his right hand was tightly gripped on the grip of the pistol.
"Who is it?" Bai Ji magnified his voice and asked again, his left hand was also firmly held on his right hand, and the whole pistol did not move at all, looking like he could shoot at any time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Ji's words came out, the shaking of the counter actually stopped.
Bai Ji was only slightly stunned, and suddenly a bad feeling arose in his heart. Almost completely subconsciously, Bai Ji quickly flashed to the side, and between the lightning and flint, he heard a deafening explosion in the silence, and the glass guardrail in front of the counter was instantly blasted into a snowflake-like debris by the huge force.
If it weren't for Bai Ji's quick reaction just now, it wouldn't have been the lifeless glass that was shattered. But now Bai Ji was on the edge of the corridor, and there was no cover around him, and if that person attacked Bai Ji again, he would have nowhere to escape.
Unless... Thinking about it, Bai Ji had quickly adjusted his shooting posture, aiming at the counter and pulling the trigger, with the power of the Desert Eagle, it was easy to penetrate the counter and shoot the people hiding inside. But just as Bai Ji pulled the trigger, he heard a low wail and sobs coming from the counter.
"Don't shoot." The man at the counter said with a crying voice, "I didn't mean to shoot, don't kill me, don't kill me, woo woo." ”
The voice was still a girl, Bai Ji frowned, and after the girl finished speaking, the sobbing voice became louder. Bai Ji couldn't help but loosen his shoulders, but he still held the pistol tightly and walked to the other end, at this moment his palms were already sweaty, and the entire pistol grip became wet and slippery.
It wasn't until he got close enough that Bai Ji calmly spoke, "Put the gun on the counter." ”
The girl didn't seem to hear what Bai Ji was saying, but continued to hide in the counter and cry, until Bai Ji shouted again, and the girl trembled and stretched out her hand from under the counter and put a bright silver pistol on the counter.
The same Desert Eagle.
"Now raise your hands and slowly climb out of the counter." Bai Ji said in a deep voice.
"I can't do it." The girl cried.
"I'll shoot."
"I really can't do it! My hand is twisted! ”
Bai Ji sighed helplessly and moved his foot to the side, and then he finally saw the girl under the counter.
The girl was only sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, a white dress stained with blood for some reason, and her face was crawling with tears. At this moment, the girl was pressing her right wrist with her left hand, her expression was very painful, Bai Ji looked at the desert eagle on the table, and immediately understood what was going on.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ji still sighed, pinned the pistol back to the waistband of his pants, and lowered his body to check the injury on the girl's wrist.
"I think I have a broken wrist bone." Bai Ji frowned and said, "It's common for a recoilless pistol like the Desert Eagle to break your arm if you don't use it properly. ”
The girl didn't talk, but looked at Bai Jilai vigilantly. Seeing her pitiful appearance, Bai Ji didn't say anything, but tore off a piece of fabric from her body, found a few pencils, and firmly fixed the girl's wrist.
"This should be fine, but if you don't get medical attention in time, you may become disabled." Bai Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, at this time he noticed that the girl also had a watch on his wrist that was exactly the same as his.
"I really didn't mean to shoot at you just now, I just, I just ......" The girl said, tears flashed in her two big eyes, Bai Ji immediately interrupted her and said, "It's okay, you're just scared, I'm scared too." ”
"But this is what we should be figuring out now." Bai Ji said, and then shook his hand at the girl. As soon as the girl saw the watch in Bai Ji's hand, she immediately understood what Bai Ji meant.
Seeing that the girl's mood had eased up, Bai Ji continued: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have also received the task of entering the hotel before six o'clock, right?" ”
The girl nodded vigorously.
"My name is Bai Ji, the era of the era, what's your name?" Bai Ji reached out and pulled the girl up.
"My name is Chen Xu, the rising sun." The girl said this, and reached for the pistol that was placed on the counter. But after thinking about it, she still stuffed the pistol into Bai Ji's hand and said seriously: "I can't use this pistol if I hold it, so you should take it with you." ”
Although Bai Ji was a little surprised, he still took the pistol and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" ”
Chen Xu pouted and said, "If you were a bad person, you should have killed me a long time ago." ”
"If I hadn't reacted fast enough, I would have been killed by you." Bai Ji said with a wry smile, I don't know if it's a coincidence, the bullet just now was clearly accurate and headed towards Bai Ji, if it weren't for Bai Ji's natural intuition about danger, he would never have been able to dodge the bullet.
"I'm sorry, I was really just freaking out." Chen Xu explained again, "You may not believe it, in fact, I have already died once tonight, but I don't know why I came back to life, and there are some strange voices saying a lot of nonsense in my head." I suspect I'm crazy, I just fell on a pile of bloody corpses, it's a really bad feeling, it's good that you're still alive, otherwise I'd have really scared myself to death. ”
Bai Ji nodded and said, "I believe in you, because I am also the same as you, so in this way, we are already people who have died once." ”
Then Bai Ji suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look at Chen Xu's eyes and asked eagerly, "You just said that you saw a pile of bloody corpses?" ”
Chen Xu was stunned, nodded and said, "Well, they seem to have been run over by something, you know, it's that kind of flesh and blood blur, I vomited a few times before I saw you." ”
"On what floor did you see those bodies?" Bai Ji asked again.
"The ninth floor."
After hearing this, Bai Ji seemed to suddenly understand something, and at this moment, he suddenly heard some groping sounds from upstairs.
Like a death knell from hell, he heard some roar that was too low to be low.
Like a beast, but like a demon's voice.
