Chapter 13: Change
The reason why Li Zhengyang was so panicked at the beginning was because he thought that he had already experienced it once before and would never have a similar encounter in the future.
But the truth is clearly not what he thinks, and he is once again caught up in the novel he has written. This may be a reality, or it may just be a space where zài does not exist.
Because in his last experience, the number of dead people was eighty, if not 100, but the major news newspapers, which are also online television, did not report the slightest on the forum.
It's like those who die, who don't exist in the first place.
Xenophosher has a total of five stories, each of which represents a curse.
For example, the story he is experiencing now is the curse of reincarnation that appears in the fifth story, "The Alien Hotel".
This curse will be repeated in his setting, and every once in a while the protagonist who has fled will be pulled back into the curse. In his book, this is also a big suspense that he sets up, because the curse of reincarnation seems to appear in the fifth chapter of the novel, but in fact, it is the beginning of a qiē story.
Last time, if it wasn't for extreme luck, if it wasn't for his luck enough, let alone go through five stories and survive five curses. Thinking about it just in the story of "Xenometer Hotel", he can't tell how many times he will die.
At that time, the situation was the same as just now, they originally had dozens of people eating together, but in the end, he was horrified to find that there were only a few people left around. He took out his mobile phone to call his agent, Sister Zhang, but the phone couldn't get through at all, and just as they wanted to go downstairs to have a look, the kind of monster with a long tongue appeared from the elevator.
He and the book lovers were stunned at the time, and it wasn't until the monsters rushed after poking out their triangular heads that they subconsciously turned and fled. As a result, he fled to the red platform in a panic.
He didn't know why he climbed up at the time, it was like an instinct of choice. But it is conceivable that he and those book lovers regretted it as soon as they escaped. Because it's obviously the rhythm of waiting to be surrounded.
By the time they realized this, it was too late to jump off the stage and escape, because the monsters had completely surrounded the small platform.
They were very desperate at the time, and they didn't dare to fight with the monsters below, so they hid on the platform and waited for death with their brains blank. Until he discovers that the monsters in the audience don't have the ability to jump, and they don't know how to climb.
For a moment, he somehow thought of his book of Xenophobia, because he remembered a story set in the same way as the one they were encountering now. The author and the book fans had a dinner party together, but in fact, they strayed into a different restaurant. Most of the book lovers are killed by the xenomorphic monsters hidden in the restaurant, and they are served as dishes.
When they reacted, all the monsters hidden in the hotel came to this level, and then launched a tidal wave of pursuit against them.
In the pursuit of the monsters, they fled in a panic to a somewhat bright red platform......
Red Table, book lovers, restaurants, and the monsters that appear in front of you, there is no doubt about it. This is almost the same as the plot in his book "Xenogeneous Curse".
It was only then that he learned that the novel he had written had come true.
He couldn't imagine the shock at that time, because his heart was really full of too many emotions. After some struggle, he made an extremely bold attempt to hide from the readers on stage.
Follow the method in the novel. Before the monsters completely surround the red platform, he takes the opportunity to jump off and escape to the elevator with the readers on the stage as bait.
In that story, it is in this way that the protagonist of his incarnation escapes.
In fact, he would take a risk. At that time, it was also a last resort, because seeing the ghosts getting higher and higher, once they came up, they would also die. So he plucked up the courage to jump off the red stage, and as a result, he actually did it, but the readers on the stage died because of it.
After he escaped from the Xenomorph Hotel, his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame, and he felt that he was too cold-blooded and too cruel. He never felt that he was such a person who would do anything to survive.
But the reality is often like this, in fact, the person who knows the least about himself is often himself.
However, with the next series of encounters, the guilt in his heart began to gradually dissipate, until it disappeared completely, even as a matter of course.
Because since the novel written by himself comes true, then the characters who appear in the book are equivalent to being created by themselves, then they are actually a string of words, and their own meaning is to serve as a stepping stone to the protagonist's life, as a booster to increase tension and panic. To put it bluntly, death is the meaning of their existence.
Only his own survival makes sense, because reality is just that.
Li Zhengyang desperately fled towards the elevator entrance, thinking that he almost fell into the hands of a few tricks, if he hadn't stumbled and fell, maybe he would have been tricked by those tricks.
But after thinking about it, he was shocked in his heart, because this scene did not appear in his novel, so the dragon should not have guessed his intentions, right? Because they have said it before, but they have not read his book.
Wait a minute! If you haven't read his books, why did you come here as a fan of his books? Are they really the secret services of the state, special investigators specializing in the investigation of unnatural phenomena?
If that's the case, doesn't that mean it's not in his novel, and that their people aren't fictional?
Thinking about it like this, Li Zhengyang only felt that his feet were soft, and his body couldn't help but stagger.
At the same time, everyone had already jumped off the red platform in unison under Xiao Mo's reminder. But because everyone's reaction is different, the order of coming down is also different.
Chen Cheng and Li Shuai were the fastest, because Xiao Mo had already given them a death order to catch Li Zhengyang, so both of them used all their strength to catch up.
The rest are like Xiao Mo, and the little follower Wen Qiayun is a big piece behind.
Xiao Mo didn't forget to look back at the movements of those ghosts while fleeing for his life, and saw that the ghosts had already reacted, jumping down from them one after another, and then chasing after them at a high speed.
Xiao Mo felt that these ghosts were quite stupid, and their movements were not very flexible, although he thought that it was an afterthought.
But in any case, such a number of ghosts let them escape, and without using any props, this is really quite dramatic.
But more drama is yet to come.
At this time, I saw that the ghosts who were originally a certain distance away from them suddenly burst out with a string of screams, and then, a scene that made Xiao Mo and them frightened appeared, these ghosts who couldn't jump actually jumped towards them!
In the blink of an eye, they were close at hand. (To be continued......)
