Chapter 121: The Old Corpse of the Deserted Village
As the voice of the game sounded, the feeling of time and space confusion came again, and Su Cheng's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.
When he came back to his senses, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he was greeted by a Japanese-style rural scene.
As the twilight fell, Su Cheng found himself standing in the middle of a country road. As far as the eye could see, the countryside in front of him seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of melancholy, which gave him an ominous premonition.
"This village is quite a bit of a ghost film of a deserted village." Su Cheng noticed that he had changed into a police uniform that was common in TV dramas, and it seemed that he was playing a police officer this time.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind him.
The moment he noticed the movement, Su Cheng suddenly turned around and drew his knife, and in one go, he slashed at the figure that suddenly appeared behind him.
The cold blade was against the snow-white skin, and Su Cheng's gaze fell on the face of a heroic policewoman standing behind him, and his complexion suddenly changed, and the murderous aura on his body was slightly constricted.
"Don't be impulsive, it's me."
The policewoman was taken aback by Su Cheng's reaction, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on her smooth head. However, her psychological quality is quite good, and she quickly calmed down.
Beauty, who are you?
Su Cheng took a closer look at the policewoman, and it seemed that she seemed to know herself, or the policeman Su Cheng played in this dungeon world.
"Don't be embarrassed, I'm overreacting." Su Cheng smiled awkwardly but politely and put away the long knife.
Seeing him withdraw the long knife, Shiratori Saki breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of anger appeared on his face, "Officer Ito, that knife shouldn't belong to the police weapon, if you carry this weapon to the police without permission, it will be a lot of trouble if the headquarters knows about it." ”
Ito?
Hearing this surname, Brother Cheng showed a painful expression.
As for violating the rules of the police department, anyway, he will leave this dungeon world after completing the mission, and when the time comes, there will be a black cauldron that will make the real Officer Ito, the unlucky guy, carry it.
"Let's talk about this case first, this village feels quite strange to me, maybe there is a big case." Su Cheng hurriedly changed the topic and brought it to this case.
After saying that, he noticed that Shiratori Saki looked at him strangely, as if he had said something wrong.
"The police department received the news that an old man in the village called the police to say that his cat had been lost, and that there could be any big case. We'll just stop by and we'll be back later. ”
Hearing this, Su Cheng looked confused.
He originally thought that there was some murder or supernatural incident in this village, and it was just such a trivial matter that the cat lost for a long time?
The script is wrong, director.
What Su Cheng didn't know was that the Officer Ito he played was just a rookie police officer who had just graduated from school, and he usually dealt with trivial matters, and it was not his turn to investigate if there was a homicide.
Along the quiet country road, the two quickly found the house of the old man who called the police.
It is a small two-story traditional Japanese building with two tall cherry trees planted in front of the door, and since it is not yet the cherry blossom season, these two cherry trees look dead and silent.
Ring the doorbell, and after a short time, a rickety old man came out and opened the door for them.
"Grandpa, did you call the police and say that the cat was lost?" Shiratori Saki asked politely.
The old man glanced at Su Cheng and Shiratori Saki, and nodded gloomily, "Come in." ”
This old man who lives alone looks a little eccentric, and Shiratori Saki doesn't care, so he takes off his shoes at the door with a smile, and changes into a pair of well-fitting slippers and walks into the house.
"Be careful, it doesn't feel good here."
Su Cheng seemed to notice something, gently tugged at the corner of Shiratori's clothes, and whispered in her ear.
"Only the old man lived alone in the house, what could he do? Ito-kun, are you not feeling well, why are you nervous? Shiratori Saki gave him a strange look, could it be that men also have menstrual periods?
"Anyway, let's be careful."
As he walked into the room, he smelled a faint smell of corpses in the air.
This smell is very weak, if it weren't for Su Cheng's physical strengthening, his sense of smell is far beyond ordinary people, he may not be able to find it.
"Got it." Shiratori Saki didn't care, and followed the old man into the house.
After stepping into this room, the eerie and terrifying voice of the game sounded in Su Cheng's mind.
"One day in December, two police officers walked into a deserted village to investigate a missing pet. However, the two of them did not realize that an extremely horrible thing was about to happen to them......"
The moment the game's voice sounded, Su Cheng noticed that the sky outside instantly became dark and gloomy, as if there was a black curtain shrouding this barren village, and the pervasive terror was like a biting cold wind, seeping into the flesh and bone marrow inch by inch.
Shiratori sneezed coldly.
"The plot begins, investigate the supernatural phenomena that appear in the village, and find out the truth."
Su Cheng's eyes were slightly downcast, just as he expected that there was really something wrong with this village. It's just that he currently has too few clues, so he can only wait and see.
In this kind of supernatural high-energy dungeon, once you act rashly, it is very likely to trigger the plot kill, and then it will be cool.
In the living room covered with tatami mats, Shiratori Saki took out a small notebook from his pocket and asked seriously, "Grandpa, do you remember when you lost your cat at home?" ”
As if he hadn't heard, the old man turned around and left the living room quietly.
After about a few minutes, the old man walked up to Su Cheng and Shiratori Saki with two bowls of red soup, pointed to the two bowls of red soup, and said concisely, "Eat." ”
This suspicious bowl of red soup is made of unknown ingredients, and the soup is very thick and exudes a fishy sweet smell.
Su Cheng took the spoon and stirred it in the bowl a few times, scooping out a few pieces of meat from unknown animals in this bowl of red soup.
"I'm sorry, we already had dinner before we came, so we won't drink this bowl of soup." Shiratori Saki also sensed that something was wrong, and waved her hand to decline the old man's kindness.
The old man's eyes widened, as if he was out of anger, he pointed to the two bowls of red soup in front of them, and coldly spit out a word, "Eat!" ”
Seeing that the old man insisted on them to drink the soup, Shiratori Saki smiled bitterly, grabbed a spoon, scooped a mouthful of red soup into his mouth, and obediently drank a mouthful of thick soup.
Su Cheng thought for a moment, and also took a sip of the red soup in front of him.
Strangely, the thick soup entering the throat was like a strong wine to dispel the slightest chill in the body, allowing Su Cheng to replenish the spiritual power and physical energy consumed in the previous dungeon world.
"This bowl of soup tastes so good."
Saki Shiratori originally thought that this bowl of soup was made with strange ingredients, but she didn't expect it to taste unusually good. And after drinking it, my whole body was hot, and a thin layer of cold appeared on my skin, and I felt that the chill in my heart was swept away.
She wanted to take two more sips, but the red soup in front of her was withdrawn by the old man.
Just after the old man left, Shiratori Saki walked around the living room and suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Ito-kun, come and see this."
A look of fear and disbelief appeared on Shiratori Saki's face, and she showed what she was holding in her hand in front of Su Cheng's eyes.
This is a black and white photo of the deceased, and what makes Shiratori Saki can't believe it is that the person on the photo is the old man who gave them soup just now.
At the bottom of the photo is written the death date of the deceased, which was half a year ago.
In other words, the owner of this house has been dead for almost half a year.
"Ito-kun, do you think there really are ghosts in this world?" Shiratori Saki seemed to be frightened and said with a pale face.
Meow!
Suddenly, a cat meow sounded in the ears of Su Cheng and Shiratori Saki.
But they saw that the scene in front of them changed, and the originally clean and tidy house was covered with dust and cobwebs, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
Outside, a ghostly moon hung high in the sky, casting a ghostly shadow.
In the deserted village, a beast-like roar was heard, and the terrifying atmosphere intensified.
"Get out of the way!"
Just when Shiratori Saki looked confused and didn't know how to deal with this terrifying situation, Su Cheng suddenly burst out loud and pounced on her with a long knife murderously.
Startled, Shiratori Saki subconsciously crouched down, and a black shadow swooped down behind her like a ghost.
It's too late, it's too soon.
A cold sword light tore through the air and slashed at the ghostly black shadow.
Boom!
The piercing sound of metal impact came, Su Cheng's face changed, and the strange thing was that his knife seemed to be slashed on top of the iron wall. An unusually powerful force passed from the blade.
"It's ...... Corpse? ”
Through the dim light, Su Cheng could clearly see the black shadow that appeared in front of him, which was a zombie with a blue face and fangs and a bubbling breath.
