Chapter 17: The Disappearance of Sook Jing
I nodded: "Let's go, you and I will go and have a look." "With that, Lotte and I stood up at the same time. Led by Yellow Shadow, we came to the side of the wooden bridge. I took a closer look at the aquatic plants in the water. Sure enough, under the cover of the clumps of aquatic weeds, I vaguely saw a black shadow rising and falling in the aquatic weeds. I could even vaguely feel that the shadow was a predator lurking in the dark, ready to snatch our "food" at any moment.
I shuddered and said, "I think we'd better get out of the river sooner." "The yellow shadow is also dotted. Just as we were about to leave the riverbank, I suddenly thought, "What about Cheng Hongsheng?" Huang Ying looked around, frowned, and said, "Yes, that guy was still by the river just now." ”
I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, my eyelids jumped, I looked at the riverbank carefully, and after making sure that there was no Cheng Hongsheng, I said, "No matter what, let's leave the riverbank first." With that, I looked at the timer in my hand and said, "It should be around 5 a.m." We have 19 hours left to find a way out. ”
As I was leaving, I looked at the riverbank again. (Cheng Hongsheng, where did you go?) And in the shadow of the wooden bridge, a frightened-looking "man" is desperately biting at a corpse. That "man" was crawling with leeches the size of his thumb, and the skin and rotten flesh on his body were falling off piece by piece, he was constantly grabbing a piece of meat or internal organs from the corpse, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth that had rotted to the point that there were no lips, if I saw it, I would definitely be able to recognize that this unrecognizable corpse was Cheng Hongsheng, who had not been found.
Walking under a tree, I picked up an unknown piece of grass and thought about it. (Cheng Hongsheng is missing?) It seems that there is already a lot of bad luck, so does it mean that the ghost has already started to kill? "In other words, even if we are just close to the river, will something happen? Or did Cheng Hongsheng do something before that would lead to death? )
And at this moment, Zhang Changxu and Gudi walked out of the woods: "Captain, look what we caught. With that, Lotte raised a fat rabbit in his hand.
Goody smiled and said, "Brother, this 'game' is so simple, and it's still very safe." Zhang Changxu walked towards the river with the rabbit in his hand and said, "I'll wash this rabbit, you wait for me." ”
"Wait!" I hurriedly stopped Zhang Changxu. "What's wrong?" Zhang Changxu looked at me in confusion.
I smiled bitterly: "It's better not to go to the river now, if I'm not mistaken, Cheng Hongsheng is dead." "What?" Goody and Changxu both looked at us with their mouths open. Lotte shrugged helplessly, and briefly told the others what had just happened. The rabbit in Zhang Changxu's hand also let go, and I knew that since Zhang Changxu and Cheng Hongsheng came at the same time, their relationship was the best.
The atmosphere was extremely depressed for a while, Zhang Changxu raised his head, looked at me and said: "Captain, I know you have a treasure, when we become stronger, I beg you to come back here, I will kill this ghost with my own hands!" "I looked at the little idol hanging on my chest, and I told Lotte about this idol of calamity at the end of the third day, and basically everyone in the team knows about it now.
Thinking about it carefully, Cheng Hongsheng died a total of two times, and did not complete any of the "games", so he should really be dead. I nodded. And at this moment, Lotte seemed to have discovered something and asked, "Where is Shujing?" ”
I was slightly stunned, yes, where did Shujing go? If Sook Jing dies again. If the number in her timer is also zero just now, then she will not be able to resurrect. I hurriedly looked around. After making sure that there was no Shujing again, my heart actually hurt slightly.
Seeing that I seemed to be about to make an uncool move, Lotte hurriedly said, "Don't worry, let's look around." I nodded, and walked in front sullenly. I didn't feel much when Shujing was by my side before, but now that I suddenly lost her, I realized that I actually cared about her so much.
Lotte and I started looking for it from a distance along the riverbank, while Goody, Zhang Changxu and Huang Ying went to the woods to search. We started from the wooden bridge and looked up and down for nearly 2-3 kilometers, but we still didn't see Shujing. The river does not know where the source is, and the further upstream it goes, the clearer the water becomes. Seeing my sullen appearance, Lotte joked, "Hey, did you see that?" I can count the stones in the center of the river. I didn't answer, I searched for more than 3 hours, and I still didn't look at it
Seeing Shujing, as the minutes passed, my mood became more and more irritable, and I kicked the pebbles under my feet hard, watching it stir up a muddy patch in the river. Ignoring Lotte, he walked back the same way.
When we were about to get to the bridge, we actually saw Cheng Hongsheng, he was wet, and when he saw us coming, he hurriedly ran over and greeted us: "You are here, I am looking for you everywhere." As if I hadn't heard him speak, I passed him by.
Lotte smiled apologetically and said, "Why are you the same as what you fished out of the water?" And where were you just now? We're looking for you everywhere. Cheng Hongsheng scratched his head and said helplessly: "I accidentally fell into the water with a paintbrush just now, and I went down to fish." Lotte nodded and asked again, "By the way, did you see Shujing?" ”
Cheng Hongsheng said with doubts: "I saw it." Hearing Cheng Hongsheng say this, I suddenly turned around and asked, "Really?" Where is she? Take me there. ”
Lotte glanced at me with a resolute face, nodded and said to Cheng Hongsheng: "Hurry up and lead the way, or the captain may be going crazy." Cheng Hongsheng nodded and took the lead in walking forward.
The more Cheng Hongsheng walked, Lotte's face became more and more gloomy, and finally when I was about to walk to the bottom of the wooden bridge, Lotte grabbed my hand and ran away from the riverbank towards the woods. My mind didn't turn a corner all at once. It wasn't until I ran with Lotte for a long time that I reacted, shook off Lotte's hand and complained, "What do you want to do?" With that, he turned around and prepared to return the same way in the direction of Cheng Hongsheng.
Lotte took my hand again: "Listen to me, listen to me, that person is not Cheng Hongsheng at all!" ”
I was slightly stunned, didn't turn around, just stood where I was. Seeing that I had no intention of leaving, Lotte let go. Just let me stand still. After a long time, I turned around and whispered, "Thank you." Hearing this, Le Tiancai sat on the ground and said helplessly: "I said, where did your usual intelligence go?" Where did your usual calm and composure go, does falling in love really make people stupid? I sat down next to him, buried my face deep in my knees, and whispered, "I just can't accept that the girl who has always believed in me and stuck to me is dead like this." ”
Lotte sighed: "In this environment, everything is cruel, anyone can die, you are not a saint, and it is difficult to even protect yourself, even if Shujing really dies, you don't need to blame yourself like this, besides." ”
I jerked my head up, looked at Lotte and said, "What's more? Lotte shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is a prop in our exchange room to resurrect others, if I remember correctly, it is the 'Rebirth Ankh' in the game area, you can go back and see it, now the top priority, don't you think it's to find a way to live?" ”
I nodded and stood up again. Seeing my appearance, Lotte smiled and stood up and patted me on the shoulder: "This is our captain." ”
After contacting them on the walkie-talkie and making sure they were all right, I looked at the timer, 12 hours had passed, and looked up at the sky. The sun was still hanging high. (It's strange why we are given a permanent daylight time, and why?) )
Lotte also looked at the sky, and then said, "This ghost should be able to transform, but there should be a few restrictions." I nodded, looked around, and walked towards the big tree where we had been, and I said, "First of all, the ghost must kill that person in order to transform, and secondly, the transformed ghost can't go too far from the riverbank, and the person who has become a ghost is wet all over. Lotte followed behind and said with a smile: "It's good that you can come back, I'm willing to think about nothing and leave everything to you." ”
I turned around and glanced at Lotte, and said helplessly: "I'm not God, I'm not omniscient, and if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to launch so smoothly in the first few times." ”
Suddenly, I remembered something, turned to Lotte and said, "I'm really damn it, it's so easy to live." Inform Yellow Shadow that they go upstream of the river, I know what the way to survive is! It's really easy. With that, I took the lead and ran upstream.
