Chapter 25: Basement 1
The silent journey didn't take long to end, and after parking the car in the underground parking lot of the commercial building, Luo Yasen and Shi Yuan came to the gate of the commercial building together. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As for Gu Xinfeng, he got out of the car before entering the parking lot and gathered with Lu Xudong and Chen Xue, who had already arrived here.
"I've done some research in the car, and the map only shows a general location, but the exact location is not clear. The next item to look for is a blood orange, which is supposed to be found at a fruit stall, but I just found this on a flyer. ”
Shi Yuan said, took out the leaflet of "Night Mist Blackcurrant Carbonated Drink" he had just obtained, and pointed to a few lines of words.
"Look here, 'This product is made from imported blackcurrants from the Mediterranean, with fresh blood oranges, and has a unique taste. The selected blood orange is natural and pollution-free, widely used in fabric dyeing, oil painting paint production, etc., especially suitable for painting blood-colored items, lasting color, lifelike, so it is often imported and sold with high-end European and American women's clothing, known as the closest fruit to fashion clothing, and it is extremely difficult to find in the usual fruit store. These words are illogical and read awkwardly. And here, in this promotional image, the drink bottle does occupy the largest area, but why should the drink be set against the backdrop of clothes? And isn't the pattern on this dress too noisy? ”
Luo Yasen looked at the picture carefully, and there was indeed a sense of dominance in the background, because the pattern drawn on the costume on the background was a hideous-looking vampire, and the vampire's face, hands, and body were full of blood red, which looked shocking. Against this background pattern, the bottle of drink with a black color palette looks too unobtrusive.
"Actually, it's easy to understand," says Royassen, "because it's not really a product flyer, it's just a prop for this mission." ”
"That's true, so, if we want to find this blood orange, we shouldn't go to any fruit area, but to the women's clothing area, especially this kind of women's clothing with a bloody pattern, we should pay more attention."
"Maybe it's the dress in the picture. If you find this garment, you will most likely be able to find the Blood Orange mentioned in our mission. ”
"Let's go." Shi Yuan said, put away the leaflet, and walked towards the commercial building.
There are six floors in the commercial building, five above ground and one underground. Women's clothing is scattered on the negative floor, third and fifth floors, while the fruit section is located on the second floor.
Without much discussion, the two walked straight to the negative floor.
It was Saturday, and the commercial building was supposed to be very lively, but for some reason, the basement floor was now deserted, there were almost no people, and even the sales staff didn't know where to go, and a few who stayed here were also listless, some played with mobile phones, some slept, and the entire negative floor was so quiet that the footsteps of the two of them could be heard clearly.
"What's going on today? Could it be that this is also affected? ”
Shi Yuan thought to himself.
Shi Yuan looked at the stalls, then looked at Luo Yasen, and saw that Luo Yasen had no expression, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"Young man."
Shi Yuan's thoughts were drifting, and suddenly a middle-aged woman in her fifties stopped them, and her eyes kept changing between the faces of the two.
"What's the matter with you?" Royassin asked.
"Young man, I want to ask you, do you know how to get to the cemetery in Dark Raven Ridge Village?"
"The cemetery in Raven Ridge Village?" Luo Yasen was stunned for a moment and did not respond immediately.
"Run!"
Shi Yuan suddenly roared like thunder, startling Luo Yasen, but before he could ask Shi Yuan what was going on, Shi Yuan grabbed his wrist and ran desperately.
"Why are you ......?"
"Don't talk! Come on! Don't look back! ”
The sudden burst of running instantly raised Luo Yasen's heartbeat speed, and he couldn't help but get nervous when he looked at Shi Yuan's serious and terrifying expression. He saw that Shi Yuan seemed to want to say something, and knew that he was going to explain to him the reason why he suddenly let him run, but before he could speak, Luo Yasen also suddenly understood why this was. He broke free of Shi Yuan's hand and ran as fast as he could.
Shi Yuan felt a yin and evil aura coming from behind him, and that aura was like a black fog surging towards them, as if it was about to swallow them. The black mist roared and rolled, and although Shi Yuan didn't look back, he could clearly feel that the black mist seemed to be transformed into a tangible object, surging forward, as if it was about to tear them apart.
"Shi Yuan......" Luo Yasen said with great difficulty, but was interrupted by Shi Yuan as soon as he said two words.
"This is not Crow Ridge Village, this is Gravel Town, if she wants to go to the cemetery of Dark Crow Ridge Village, how can she find a random person here to ask? She should have asked how to get to Dark Crow Ridge Village, and when she got to Dark Crow Ridge, she should ask where the cemetery was! Shi Yuan said as he ran. This is exactly the explanation he gave to Royasen, although Royasen already knew it.
Without the slightest pause, the two men continued to run forward. Shi Yuan felt that the evil black mist had been chasing them behind them. The distance has not narrowed. Shi Yuan felt that it was not that the black mist could not catch up with them, but that he deliberately kept a constant distance, just like a cat that caught a mouse would not eat the mouse immediately, but would tease the mouse first and then bite the mouse to death completely. He wanted to go back and see what was behind it, but he never dared to do so.
After running for a long time, Shi Yuan felt that his two legs were almost unconscious, and they were going left and right for a while, and they didn't know where to run at all. They kept going around in circles in the mall, and Shi Yuan felt that he couldn't run anymore, and he suddenly began to wonder why he didn't run outside the mall, but kept going around in circles in the mall, and if he ran on the street, maybe it would be much safer.
Suddenly, Shi Yuan felt that the black mist was getting closer and closer, as if that thing had lost patience. The black mist kept changing, twisting, and turned into a huge hand, grabbing Shi Yuan and Luo Yasen.
"Run apart!"
Royasen shouted.
"But ......"
"Don't be! Meet at the gate in 10 minutes! Fast! ”
Luo Yasen didn't care what Shi Yuan was going to say, turned a sharp corner, and ran towards the corridor on the left. Shi Yuan gritted his teeth, turned to the right, and ran into the stairwell. He felt the black mist drift away from him.
"That thing...... Went after Roasin...... What happens if you catch up? ”
Shi Yuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, all he could do now was run, run desperately, although he felt that the black fog was getting farther and farther away, and the sense of threat had gradually disappeared, he still didn't stop.
"Get out of here, get outside."
Thinking like this, Shi Yuan kept spiraling down the stairs. He'd even forgotten that he was in the basement. He didn't know how many floors he had just run to, and there wasn't even a floor sign in the stairwell. He had to go all the way down until the steps disappeared, he still didn't dare to turn back, and ran straight forward.
