Chapter Twenty-Five: The Town
After Shen Mengqi finished speaking, Xia Qi glanced at her with disdain, and then the two of them didn't say anything.
Ten minutes later, the two finally entered the village marked on the map.
Although the map marks the village, to Xia Qi, they feel like they have returned to reality, or rather, they are more like they have come to a villa area.
The houses here are small two-storey villas with courtyards, each of which is separated by a green belt, and the roads are not dirt roads, but smooth concrete roads, and you can even see cars on the side of the street.
Xia Qi looked back in some surprise and found that it was still a no-man's land, only this place looked out of place with the previous environment.
"What's going on?"
Xia Qi looked at Chu Mengqi, who was not impressed, and asked.
"I've participated in the Hades Annual Meeting, and it's obvious that this place is also equivalent to a different space, and the people inside can't see the outside, only unlucky people like us can see and come in from the outside.
To put it bluntly, it's a small town, a paradise, but it's a pity that such a good environment hides a terrible ghost. ”
Chu Mengqi said with some emotion, Xia Qi didn't have the heart to listen to her say that it was useless, so he interrupted and said:
"If this is a small town, doesn't that mean that the people here are all human beings, and they are not disguised by ghosts?"
"You're asking nonsense, of course the town is reserved for the living, how can it be a ghost disguise."
Chu Mengqi glanced at Xia Qi with some mockery, Xia Qi didn't look at her, but looked at the map on the honor list, and then saw that his face was extremely ugly:
"What's going on, why is the door pattern on the map moving?"
"Because we can't leave now, unless that ghost thing shows up. The door pattern turns red and stops somewhere, and we may find it away. For now, let's find a place to hide, and if we're lucky, maybe stop not far from us when the sign turns red.
Of course. If only the ghost doesn't spot us that quickly. ”
Chu Mengqi didn't know where that ghost thing was lurking, and he wasn't sure where the door sign on the map would eventually stop, so their current hiding choice was, to put it bluntly, a process of fighting for character.
"I have a question."
Walking along the deserted street for a while, Xia Qi suddenly stopped Chu Mengqi.
"What's the matter? Why are you so much about it. ”
Chu Mengqi replied impatiently, but her footsteps still stopped:
"Ask."
"If we have people coming in after us, will they ......?"
"No, it won't. Because the door sign they see is also constantly moving, and there is no chance of luck. ”
Chu Mengqi had already guessed what Xia Qi was going to ask, so he had already given an answer before he finished speaking.
In fact, this is indeed what Xia Qi wants to ask. Because he felt that if the two of them waited until the door sign on the map turned red, and then stopped at a certain location, then the latecomer might know the specific location of the door sign as soon as they came in, so they could rush over directly.
In that case, they could just push it out and wait for the other participants to come in first.
However, Chu Mengqi had already given him the answer, it was the same when he came here first, and when he came in later. It's all about going through a dangerous waiting process.
followed Chu Mengqi and walked around for a while, and Xia Qi's heart gradually swelled with uneasiness. He had to stop Chu Mengqi and said:
"Where the hell are you trying to hide?"
"I don't know, so I'm still thinking." Chu Mengqi shook her head and said helplessly.
"That ghost thing can appear anytime and anywhere, how can you have so much time to think!"
Xia Qi couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard that Chu Mengqi obviously had no idea, but he was leading him around.
"You can do it, you can do it. Think about where we're going to hide! ”
Chu Mengqi was not used to Xia Qi, and said equally unhappily.
"Go to the very center of here." Xia Qi said with certainty.
"Why? Give me a reason. ”
Chu Mengqi was not convinced by Xia Qi's proposal.
"Because the center of this town is the closest place to the various regions. For example, if the door sign ends up on the north side, then we can just go north side. If we stop in the east, we just go to the east.
But if we hide in the east, but the door sign ends up on the west side, we need to waste some time if we want to get there. Therefore, it is safest to hide in the center of the town. ”
After hearing this, Chu Mengqi also felt that it was very reasonable, so she also changed her previous tone and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go to the center of town now."
After reaching an agreement, Chu Mengqi and Xia Qi tried their best to find a more hidden place to walk, and they also saw some pedestrians in the process.
Some of these pedestrians were playful children, while others were drunken drinkers, but the silence of the previous no-man's land was changed.
Most of the small villas around are also lit up, and Xia Qi can even clearly see the people who are washing or cooking dinner in the villa.
Only he and Chu Mengqi knew that it wouldn't be long before this seemingly peaceful town would fall into a panic like falling into hell.
With the passage of time, Xia Qi found that the moonlight had completely turned red without knowing when.
The red moonlight shines down, giving Xia Qi the feeling of being in a horror movie.
The sound of the wind, which had been heard from time to time before, had now completely disappeared, and the sound of their footsteps began to be infinitely amplified in such a dead environment.
"It's not good." Chu Mengqi obviously realized something, and looked around with wide eyes.
"Well, I'm afraid that ghost has come out and is looking for us everywhere."
Speaking of this, Xia Qi suddenly thought of something, and asked uncertainly:
"It shouldn't be able to lock our location directly, right?"
"It's hard to say, look at what it does, if it has a lot of doppelgangers, then it's hard to say, anyway, let's speed up and walk towards the center of town, we can't go on like this anymore, it makes us look like lovers."
"It's just you who thinks so, okay, I've been urging you to hurry up!"
Xia Qi was already powerless to complain about Chu Mengqi, so he didn't care about her anymore, and ran directly in the direction of the town center, and Chu Mengqi quickly followed.
At the same time, the bloodlight of the killing began to spread in the calm town. (To be continued.) )
