Chapter 23: Leaving the room
After a strange sizzling sound, the entire wall turned into a huge screen.
Between the dazzling snowflake spots, distorted words emerge one by one.
The text on the screen reads, "You'll have two hours to prepare." You are free to move around as you like during the preparation period. You can leave through the door, or you can stay in this room. After two hours, you will be transported back to this chamber and secured to the guillotine execution site. Ten seconds later, the giant axe fell, and his body was in a different place. If you want to live, you can only rely on yourselves. ”
"What are you kidding?" Shan Shilin first shouted, "What 'different heads'? That's not ...... It's not ......"
He suddenly remembered the dream.
In the dream, he cut off his wife's head in a sleepwalking state and chopped it into a dozen pieces with a knife, but he thought he was cutting a watermelon.
That dream, too real.
Shan Shilin suddenly wondered, was it really a dream?
"I'm so scared ......"
Wei Shuqi hid behind Qin Tao and sobbed.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, someone must be playing a prank on us."
Qin Tao kept comforting her, as if the two had known each other for a long time.
Based on the way the two of them look now, no one would think that they have actually just met.
"Let's go, let's get out of here."
Qin Tao said, pulling Wei Shuqi, who was still sobbing, to open the door and walk out.
The others watched and left the room one after another.
Takegami Yukino read the words carefully, showing a thoughtful look, and then said, "Shi Yuan, that, it shouldn't be a prank, right?" ”
"Not really."
"In other words, it's really possible for us to die, right?"
Takegami said solemnly with no expression.
"Yes."
Shi Yuan replied while analyzing in his heart.
Two hours of preparation time? What to prepare? Can you leave through the door? Outside, where will it be?
His gaze wandered between the words and the door.
"I think there's probably more to come."
Shi Yuan said suddenly.
"Really?"
An Lingxian wanted to leave, but when she heard Shi Yuan's words, she once again cast her eyes on the "screen".
However, the text on it is still the same as it was.
A full eight minutes passed, and Gou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "Shi Yuan, it's too much time for us to continue to wait like this." Everyone's gone, let's get out of here. ”
"Wait."
Shi Yuan said.
Tang Minmei did not leave, but continued to sit by the wall.
She wanted to end her life, and since there was a guillotine to do it for her, she naturally wouldn't choose to struggle to survive.
She even closed her eyes and waited quietly for that moment to come.
"Minjia, my sister will be with you soon."
She whispered, but her mother's face came to mind.
Her eyes opened.
Only then did she realize that her sister looked very similar to her mother.
She had never thought about it, she just thought that her sister was still a little girl, and even when she finally left, she was only thirteen years old.
She sighed and looked unconsciously ahead.
"That person ......"
Her gaze suddenly froze.
However, after a few seconds, she closed her eyes again and whispered to herself, "If my sister were still alive, she would be twenty-six years old." Minjia, should I say are you lucky or unlucky? ”
At the same time, outside that door.
"What is this place?"
Looking at the scene outside, everyone was stunned.
They had come from different places, but none of them had ever seen the scene outside the door.
Except for warm snow.
"No...... No...... I'm going back, I don't want to come here......"
She nearly broke down and burst into tears.
Outside the door, there is the strange and bloody "garbage dump". The sky was pitch black, and the ground rose with a blood-red glow.
It is an almost infinite expanse of land, and no matter which direction you look, you can't see the border.
However, everyone stopped moving.
The "hill" was not far in front of everyone. However, due to the lack of light, they did not see the stumps that made up the hill, but only vaguely felt that the hill was a little strange.
"It's weird here."
Leng Di looked ahead and whispered.
Shen Ethereal stood behind her, his eyes flashing with vigilance.
Qin Tao was stunned, he couldn't understand everything in front of him at all, but he still said: "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid, let's look for it, we will definitely find a way out." ”
Wei Shuqi nodded again and again, showing a pitiful look.
Qin Tao led the way in front, and Wei Shuqi followed behind. Soon, in the eyes of others, the two became two blurred shadows.
They did not go in the direction of the "hill", but went in the opposite direction.
Ten minutes passed, and the screen in front of Shi Yuan and the others finally changed.
"Sure enough......"
Takegami said unconsciously.
New text content is displayed on the screen.
"In the world outside the door, there are multiple witch dolls. After two hours, the wielder doll will not die. Those who violently snatch other people's witch dolls will die. ”
"We need to find the witch puppet to keep it alive."
Shi Yuan said.
This text provides new information, but it leaves little clue. The shape and location of the witch puppet are completely unknown.
However, the name alone can probably imagine the appearance of the doll.
"Let's go."
Shi Yuan said, walking towards the door.
When passing by Tang Minmei's side, Shi Yuan and An Lingxian both turned their heads to look.
Shi Yuan stopped and said to Tang Minmei, "Hello, I suggest you go out with us to find clues." ”
"It's fine."
Tang Minmei stood up, didn't say a word, and then walked out together.
"I ...... I'm so scared......"
In the distance, Wei Shuqi looked around in horror and said to Qin Tao.
They had moved away from the others, and at this moment, she really felt a strong fear.
She looked back and saw the "hill" in the distance.
The outline of that mountain, no matter how you look at it, is a little weird.
"Don't worry, I promise we'll be out soon."
Qin Tao said meaninglessly, his footsteps did not stop.
The light was dim, and the surrounding air seemed to be filled with blood-red droplets.
"What's that?"
Qin Tao suddenly saw that on the ground in front of him, there seemed to be something faintly glowing.
He walked over and picked it up.
It was a somewhat oddly shaped doll.
"It's a puppet. I thought it was something valuable. ”
Qin Tao was a little disappointed, but still put the doll away.
"What's that?"
Wei Shuqi rolled his eyes and asked.
"A rag doll. Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”
Qin Tao said, took out the doll and handed it to Wei Shuqi.
"Thank you, you're so nice."
Wei Shuqi smiled and grabbed the puppet in his hand.
