Chapter 2 The True Meaning of the Scarlet Instructions
When twelve o'clock arrived, the hide-and-seek officially began. According to the rules, Si Chen, as a "ghost", closed his eyes and counted with his back to them, and then he could look for them after counting.
Yang Lin and the others repeatedly warned Si Chen and decided not to peek. After all, this is the basic rule of the game of hide-and-seek, and if he violates it, it is tantamount to violating the blood instructions of the apartment.
And the moment Si Chen turned his back, the other four immediately spread their legs and ran desperately down the mountain! At the moment, everyone is using the speed of a 100-meter sprint, after all, no one knows what the terrible consequences will be if they are found.
The fastest runner is Yang Lin, he often participated in the track and field competitions of the school sports meeting when he was a student, and he had excellent results, and he once challenged the marathon, and after living in the apartment, he often went to exercise his running speed, so when Si Chen hadn't counted to five, the other three people couldn't see him.
Yang Lin ran nearly 700 meters in one go, and his pace slowed down slightly, but he didn't catch his breath much. He didn't dare to relax at all, and he continued to look left and right. Although it is said that it is to hide, is there a place to hide in this Huayan Mountain? There are almost no trees to be seen, and the grass is not high, so it will stand out everywhere you go. Unless, caves can be found. However, Yang Lin believes that hiding in the cave is the next step. After all, once the cave is found, there is no escape. Although this mountain is large, Si Chen also has twelve hours to look for himself. So he thinks that it is better to walk around the mountains indiscriminately, so that it is not easy to run into Si Chen.
At the same time, he still didn't understand what kind of trap the blood letter indication had this time. But for sure, it's definitely not just hide-and-seek.
The mountain road of Huayan Mountain is extremely bumpy, uneven, and quite difficult to walk. The ground was extremely dry, and there seemed to be no humidity in the air at all, and even Yang Lin felt as if sand had entered his nostrils when he breathed.
The game of hide and seek, Yang Lin also often played it when he was a child, and at that time, it was the same as now, he was a person who hid. Every time you choose a place to hide, you will be quite deliberate and even run far away. In the end, no one else could find him, but he couldn't get lost and go home. Because of the experience of getting lost, he later developed a strong fear of the game of hide and seek, so much so that he was no longer willing to play hide and seek.
And now...... It's actually going to be this nasty game again.,To carry out the blood word instructions.。
On the other hand, Zhang Lingfeng is not too slow, and he is five or six hundred meters away from the top of the mountain. It's just that his physique is not as good as Yang Lin, and he is out of breath at the moment, and he becomes walking when he runs.
However, when I thought of being found by a "ghost", I didn't know what the consequences would be, so I didn't dare to stop and continued to speed up the pace. The rule indicated by the blood word is that as long as you don't leave Huayan Mountain, it's okay to hide anywhere. So...... Running down the hill? So that when the time comes, you can leave immediately. However, he immediately rejected the idea. If Si Chen finds it, then without being able to leave Huayan Mountain, there will be no place to flee at all. Let's find a safe place to hide in the mountains.
Twelve hours, which doesn't sound like a long time, is only half a day. However, for them, the apartment residents, every minute, every second is torment and torture! Zhang Lingfeng had to look at his watch almost every two or three minutes, and then kept looking back to see if Si Chen had caught up.
"I don't know how fast that kid is running. Will he go back and peek at the route we run? ”
Zhang Lingfeng, whose surname is arrogant, does not have a particularly good relationship with the residents, and Si Chen lives relatively high, and his connection with him is not very deep. In the apartment, the only person who has a good relationship with him is Qin Shoutian, who is already dead. When he learned that he was dead, Zhang Lingfeng really sighed. But there is no way, living in this apartment, everyone is precarious, and any time you go to carry out the blood instructions, you may not be able to return.
Living in this apartment is indeed quite scary, but after a long time, the fear has gradually become numb. The occupants are now freed to get out of the damn apartment after spelling out the tenth blood letter.
"I'm never going to die! I must leave the apartment alive! ”
When Zhang Lingfeng thought so in his heart, a gust of wind suddenly rose. The gust of wind came a little strangely, and it swept up the dust and sand on the ground at once, and even fascinated the eyes. Zhang Lingfeng didn't stand firm for a while, it was dark in front of him, he fell to the ground, and actually sprained his foot!
"Ahh
Zhang Lingfeng was shocked in his heart, he sprained his foot in this game of hide and seek, it was not a joke! He hurriedly tried his best to massage his ankle with his hands, but no matter how he rubbed it, his feet felt painful! In this way, not to mention running, even if you walk, the speed will be very slow!
Suddenly, sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and he kept looking left and right, constantly praying in his heart for all the gods and Buddhas that could be liked, hoping that Si Chen would not find him at this time!
It won't be so coincidental...... The mountain was so big, there was no reason for him to find me so quickly......
He stood up, gritted his teeth and continued to want to walk forward, after all, he was still a little closer to the top of the mountain, although there was a sharp pain in every step he took, but Zhang Lingfeng still tried his best to endure it.
Chen Zhenxing originally wanted to drive the car to the mountain, but the mountain road was even more bumpy than he expected, especially a road made of gravel, and if he drove hard, the tires of the car would be broken, so he had to park at the foot of the mountain. The only way to escape is on foot.
In fact, although Li Yin said that it was better to run separately, he still hoped in his heart that he could escape with others. He is talkative and funny, and he is very popular in the apartment. Among them, he has the best relationship with Xia Yuan. When I learned from Yingzi Ye's mouth that he was dead, I was also sad for several days. It was hard for him to believe that Xia Yuan, who was wearing glasses and was always full of confidence, died so easily. But this is the truth, no householder has the guarantee of survival.
Li Yin became the new building manager, although he could accept it in his heart, but there was always some resistance in his subconscious. He always felt that only Xia Yuan could be qualified for the position of building manager, and Li Yin had only lived in the apartment for a year. Of course, Li Yin's intelligence is beyond doubt, but he always feels that he still loses compared to Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan's expression of always being full of confidence and not changing color at the top of Mount Tai inspired many residents to actively face the blood word instructions, but Li Yin could hardly give people such a feeling.
And...... Even Xia Yuan died, so what about the other residents? It's a feeling of despair. However, if you want to survive, you can only continue to carry out the blood instructions.
Chen revitalizes the hope that Li Yin can bring new hope to the residents. After all, it was impossible for Xia Yuan to come back from the dead.
"I don't know if Ayuan and Bing Yang are doing now......"
When he became a resident of the apartment, Chen Zhenxing learned from the pain and decided to divorce his wife. After all, his wife is still young, and after he moves into an apartment, no one knows what the future holds. In these years, a woman who has been divorced once and a widow have completely different concepts, and it is naturally much easier for the former to remarry than the latter. And this kind of thing, it is impossible to tell the truth to his wife, otherwise he will be regarded as a paranoid.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, found a migrant girl, stuffed her with a sum of money, and acted in a play in front of his wife, saying that he was messing with flowers outside, so he wanted to divorce his wife. After all, if there is no reason for divorce, the wife will only keep tracing the reason, and may think that she has a hard time and is unwilling to divorce. As a result, Chen Zhenxing was burdened with all the infamy, and even his son looked down on him, scolding him for being Chen Shimei and a negative man. The wife was initially very angry, and because he had to live in an apartment, he threw his wife a divorce agreement and left the house, leaving only the lawyer to negotiate with his wife. This made his wife think that he had completely changed his mind, learned from the pain, and finally signed the divorce agreement.
Although this was half a year ago, Chen Zhenxing still feels very painful in retrospect. The wife is very strong, the house they live in was mainly Chen Zhenxing's money, and the head of the household registered Chen Zhenxing's name, so the wife Suo surname left the house, and took his son Bing Yang to work outside to make money to support his son.
For a while, people who didn't know the truth all blamed Chen Zhenxing, and even his biological parents said that if he didn't remarry his wife, they would cut off relations with him. And his relatives and friends told him that it is understandable for men to act outside, and it is normal to get lost occasionally, but there is no need to "rest" his wife, right? Someone else said that he didn't think about fighting for the custody of his son at all?
Of course, Chen Zhenxing can't fight for the custody of his son, he can't live with his son. Moreover, as the party at fault, even if he fights for custody, it is unlikely that the court will award it to him.
In the six months after the divorce, Chen Zhenxing has been sending alimony to his wife on time, but his wife never took the initiative to contact him. And the wife's new place is far away, although forty-eight hours round trip is more than enough, but no one can guarantee whether there will be a traffic jam or any emergency, and generally nothing will leave the apartment. In the end, Chen Zhenxing plucked up the courage to see his wife once, but his wife didn't want to see him at all.
When the residents of the apartment learned about his story, they were all very moved. Especially Xia Yuan, after knowing about this matter, said, "Don't be discouraged! When we get out of the apartment alive, I'll help you pursue your wife again!" Even then, you won't be able to tell her about the apartment, but at least you'll be able to be with her! ”
Xia Yuan's heartfelt words made Chen Zhenxing extremely moved, so he and Xia Yuan also became friends. The two agreed that they must leave the apartment alive together!
I didn't expect it...... Xia Yuan actually walked in front of him. The oath of the past is still in my ears, but Xia Yuan is already gone.
"I'll live with you! Xia Yuan! ”
Among the four people, the slowest runner was Tang Lanxuan.
Tang Lanxuan is one of the best residents in the apartment who has a good relationship with Li **, and he has a good relationship with Chen Zhenxing. Tang Lanxuan's surname is very gentle and kind, he is a typical good gentleman, in the apartment, everyone will call him "Doctor Tang" when they see him. Lan Xuan's parents are not in China, and he works in a large hospital in the city. As a surgeon, he often helps with treatment when carrying out blood instructions, and even provides residents with a lot of medicine and emergency medical knowledge, which impresses the residents. The residents privately thought that if one of the residents in the apartment died, more than half of the residents would be sad and crying, it would definitely be Dr. Tang Lanxuan.
Tang Lanxuan admires Li Yin's father, Li Yong, who is the director of Zhengtian Hospital, a famous general hospital in K, and Li Yin's mother is the chairman of the hospital. Tang Lanxuan once went to listen to Dean Li's medical lectures and admired Dean Li's professional knowledge very much. It is also for this reason that he has a particularly good relationship with Li Yin. However, he was surprised that Li Yin did not inherit his father's hospital, but went to become an online novelist, which couldn't help but be very strange. He had exchanged medical knowledge with Li Yin and found that Li Yin's talent in this area was not inferior to that of his father.
In this regard, Li Yin's explanation is that he does not like the inheritance of this fatalistic surname. In any case, he is not only proficient in this field of medicine, but can also work in other fields. However, Lan Xuan always felt that this was not the most critical reason. He believes that Li Yin's desire to become a doctor stems from his sensitivity to death. To become a doctor, you have to face people's birth, old age, sickness and death all the time, which is actually a great test of people's psychological quality.
Li Yin once said: "I always feel that if you have been a doctor for a long time, you will be very numb to the death of people, and no matter how tragic the death is, it will not be able to arouse sadness." I don't like it, I rejoice in being alive and grieve when I die, that's what people are. ”
That sentence has always been deeply remembered by Lan Xuan. He agrees with Li Yin's statement that for doctors, medical skills are important, but compassion and compassion are also absolutely indispensable. Only when we never forget the reverence for life in our hearts will we do our best to save every life.
When Lan Xuan thought like this, he was already far away from the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the phone vibrated in the pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Li Yin's call.
Lan Xuan answered the phone and asked, "Li Yin, what's the matter?" ”
Lan Xuan...... Have you chosen the 'ghosts'? I just now have some new ideas for the Scarlet Indication, and I'd like to talk to you about it. ”
"Oh, it's chosen. What are your thoughts? ”
"How did you choose? Who's going to be the 'ghost'? ”
"It was chosen by guessing the boxing. It was Si Chen who was the 'ghost'. ”
Li Yin didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked again: "Who?" Who's going to be the 'ghost'? ”
"Si Chen, it's Si Chen in room 1215, the one who likes to play tarot cards."
Li Yin shouted violently on the other end of the phone: "Lan Xuan! You sober me up! The 12th floor of our apartment is room 1214 at most, where did room 1215 come from? Si Chen? Where is this occupant in the apartment? ”
Li ...... Li Yin, you, what are you kidding, didn't Si Chen gather downstairs with us before, saying that there was a bloody word in his room......"
"Wake up! This time, only you, Chen Zhenxing, Yang Lin and Zhang Lingfeng received instructions from the blood word! Where did you come from? ”
Lan Xuan suddenly became excited, and his brain suddenly became clear......
That's right......
When did we have a resident named Si Chen in our apartment? Rummaging through the memory bank, I couldn't find the existence of this person at all!
What is the resident who lives in room 1215 and likes to use tarot cards for divination, everything related to Si Chen in the past......
It's all fake memories!
I'm afraid that after leaving the apartment, I met "it", and then I was confused by "it", thinking that "it" was also a resident of the apartment, and then followed "it" to Huayan Mountain, and "it" decided to let "it" be a ghost through guessing......
At this moment, Lan Xuan realized something.
Other words...... The four of them, now with a real "ghost", are playing hide and seek......
