Chapter 4: The Infinite City
Mustering up the courage to step into the darkness, Lin Yifan's sight only saw the dark shadow of the head maid Sophia, and he didn't know how long he had walked, and the sound of the iron door opening echoed in his ears.
Squinting and walking out of the darkness, I was still a little uncomfortable.
In the light blue sky, a passenger plane roared by, and the sea breeze blew Lin Yifan's broken hair, but under such a beautiful sky, Lin Yifan's face froze there.
With four high walls and towers, his location is actually a prison on an island!
"Quasi-Warden, this is a mission reward." The head maid handed over a box of videotapes to Lin Yifan, without any expression fluctuation on her face.
After taking the cassette with Sadako's resentment, Lin Yifan felt cold, like a hot potato that he wanted to throw away immediately.
At this time, the strong wind blew the maid's long skirt, and the white silk suspender was looming, allowing Lin Yifan to take a second look. The head maid just pressed her skirt down with her hands, not pleasing or angry.
Lin Yifan noticed something, looked in the direction of the maid's gaze, and showed surprise again.
This small island on the sea is not alone overseas, when Lin Yifan's gaze swept to the south, the sirens sounded in the high-rise buildings, and a modern modern city came into view.
"Don't look at the warden, if you come back with a life, Sophia will take you there." The unsmiling maid walked up to Lin Yifan, although he had been using honorifics to Lin Yifan, but his eyes were full of indifference.
"Oh, but I'd love to ask, what's over there?"
couldn't help but be curious about that side, Lin Yifan also noticed that the buildings closer to the center of the island were more luxurious and modern, while the buildings in the remote areas, although not dilapidated, were much worse than the other side.
This island city is very strange, with a circle of buildings of one type, as if it were hierarchical, very strict.
"Infinite City, the great prison for reincarnation." The head maid said lightly.
Lin Yifan looked at the infinite city in the distance, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "This cold joke is really funny, the big prison of reincarnation, the place where drunken dreams and death." ”
"Yes, as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want, including staying in this world for a long time."
Lin Yifan digested what the maid chief said to him in his heart, and almost had a specific concept of this infinite space city in his heart.
"It's almost time, Quasi-Warden, Sophia has something to say to you before leaving."
The head maid, who had been silent, actually took the initiative to come over. When you walk around, you will have the aroma of jasmine.
As a dead runner and a half-otaku, Lin Yifan has seen those beautiful stars from afar before, but it is the first time to look at a dreamy beauty so closely.
The coldness and beauty that came from the maid made Lin Yifan have an impulse to conquer this beauty.
"You're half a minute to go back, but Sophia has a request."
"Huh?"
"Don't throw away this tape no matter what happens, remember, you have fifty seconds to use the ability to ghost, that kind of ......"
Halfway through the words of the head maid Sophia, Lin Yifan found that his body began to blur, although Sophia was saying something to herself, she couldn't hear it.
Not only Sophia, but also the sound of the sea breeze and the surrounding waves disappeared, and the world became extremely quiet, while the countdown of the Lord God sounded in his mind.
After seeing Lin Yifan's blurred body, Sophia closed her mouth, her pink lips opened and closed slightly: "I pray that you can return safely." ”
However, Lin Yifan couldn't hear Sophia's words, and the world in front of him began to distort, and the distorted colors around him became dirty.
In the next second, Lin Yifan returned to the world of midnight bells.
Blinked, still a little confused.
Click, click!
The camera flashed, and several people in front of him were taking pictures of a corpse on the ground, and several people in Japanese police uniforms were walking around the courtyard.
Lin Yifan glanced at the face of the corpse and found that it was the old lady from before, and the doll fell on the side of the wooden chair in the courtyard.
The police who were investigating were a little confused, how could someone suddenly appear here, and I don't know if it was through the wall.
"Hey! Who are you, do you know this old lady? The police strode in.
"Nothing, I'm just curious......"
"Curious about what, it's just a heart attack, hurry up and go!" The other party impatiently drove Lin Yifan out.
The reporter next to this meeting suddenly asked: "We heard from people nearby that this was haunted last night, is it true?" ”
"Hey! What do you say, we are still superstitious about those things in modern times, and I warn you reporters not to spread rumors. ”
Listening to their discussion, it was obvious that the police in this plot world didn't want to make a big deal out of it, thinking that Lin Yifan was also a reporter from a small news agency, and wanted to drive him away with the reporter.
Lin Yifan, who walked out of the courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know that a few days had passed in the plot world, but fortunately it was daytime now, otherwise it would not be fun to be alone and besieged by ghosts.
Pulling out the videotape in the backpack, the yin qi came to the face, making people shudder and quickly stuff it back.
It's really scary to carry this ghost thing on your back, but Lin Yifan still listened to the last warning of the head maid, and he still can't figure out what the ghost is.
But the most important thing now is to find your lost teammates. Otherwise, at night, I am afraid that I will not be able to face the steady stream of resentful spirits.
But I don't have their contact information, and I don't even have money, so it's obviously a bit difficult to find teammates.
"That's, this gentleman ......"
Lin Yifan, who couldn't find a point, was stopped and couldn't help but look back.
To be honest, Lin Yifan doesn't know exactly what form people in this world exist, and it may be a parallel space, but all the reincarnators, including Lin Yifan, don't care much about their life or death.
"Huh?" The impatient Lin Yifan snorted dissatisfiedly, frightening the reporter to take a few steps back.
"Hello sir, let me be self-conscious, my name is Sanada Wan, and I am a journalist."
The other party respectfully handed over the business card, Lin Yifan glanced at it, he didn't understand Japanese but he could still understand Japanese kanji, and the other party was a reporter from a small news agency.
"Looking for me?"
"It's not convenient to talk here, why don't we go to an izakaya not far away?" The other party was respectful and very restrained, which made Lin Yifan a little unhappy, no way, this is their national character.
It just so happens that he doesn't have any money on him, so he may be able to use this reporter to find Captain Liu and them.
"Alright, let's go." The text is a little incomprehensible, but the language communication is fine.
followed the reporter into the izakaya, the room was very narrow but very clean, for Lin Yifan, who was accustomed to China, the qiē here made him feel very novel and uncomfortable at the same time.
"Clerk Sang, let's have some wine and side dishes, this gentleman ......" The reporter was stunned, and he didn't know Lin Yifan's name.
"My surname is Lin, let's have a bowl of ramen." It's just three words, but Lin Yifan unceremoniously began to order something.
Sanada Wanli smiled politely, and said in a low voice: "Hello Lin Sang, I am very interested in the events of that night. ”
Lin Yifan sat in place and looked at his phone, without saying anything: "Oh." ”
"Uh, that... The young man last night should be Lin Sang, right? Although Sanada Wanli was very curious about the touch-screen mobile phone in Lin Yifan's hand, he asked directly about the matter.
Sensing the reporter's gaze, Lin Yifan realized that it was the nineties, and it was indeed too exaggerated to take a touchscreen mobile phone.
However, last night, when the reporter asked, Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows: "You were there last night?" ”
When the reporter saw Lin Yifan admit it, he stood up excitedly: "Yes, yes Lin Sang, I saw the battle of your exorcism, Si Guoyi!" It's so exciting! ”
"Ahem!" The shopkeeper next to him coughed dryly twice, asking the reporter to whisper so as not to affect other customers.
Lin Yifan took a sip of sake and smacked his lips, looking at the reporter's appearance, he didn't know that the four of them were all beaten by Sadako and the resentful spirit in the battle last night.
I was almost served by Sadako, and if I hadn't completed the Warden side quest by myself, three people would have died at the beginning!
It can only be said that the world of supernatural films is too terrifying, and it is really unlucky to enter this cruel reincarnation in the first game as a newcomer.
The reporter suppressed his excitement, put down his wine glass and said, "Lin Sang, you are a Taoist priest from across the sea, right?" It's so amazing, I can even speak Japanese so well. ”
Lin Yifan took a sip of wine and smiled without saying anything, it seems that people in the plot world will automatically transform their language when communicating with themselves, which is convenient for reincarnators in different regions.
"By the way, Sanada-kun, let me ask you one thing, do you know a female reporter named Asakawa?" Lin Yifan wanted to test and explore, what the plot here is like, he has never seen the protagonist from the beginning to the present.
Sanada Wanli touched his chin and pondered, shaking his head: "I'm sorry Lin Sang, I don't remember that there is such a person in my peers, is it very famous?" ”
"Nothing, it doesn't seem to be." Lin Yifan continued to drink wine, and it was very disappointing that he didn't hear the protagonist of the plot.
If you want to talk about the first part of Midnight Bell, that is, the characters in the plot continue to die in tricks, and they have to watch the video tapes one by one, and kill the cat with curiosity.
But the current situation is that this is still the world of the Midnight Bell, but the plot did not happen, but the reincarnation became the target of attack.
At this time, Lin Yifan thought of something, and sent the wine glass to his mouth: "Wait a minute, the free mode that Yaoling said ......"
"Lin Sang?"
Lin Yifan shook his head and drank all the wine in the wine glass: "It's nothing, I just want to give you a piece of advice, don't investigate that kind of thing." ”
"Actually, I'm here for this Lin Sang, thanks to you, I witnessed the true body of those resentful spirits last night, so I want to ask you to ......"
Lin Yifan took the big bowl of ramen handed by the waiter at this time, sucked the noodles and drank the soup, and after killing a bowl of noodles, he made a cheerful sound: "Whew, thank you for your hospitality." All I can say is that you don't look into it, or you're going to die a terrible death. ”
Hearing this, Sanada Wanli's face stiffened, and he felt that a master like Lin Yifan from overseas had said so, so he was obviously investigating, and he would really put his life into it.
Sanada Wanli, who wanted to stop talking, was thinking about it, and suddenly the BB machine hanging on his waist rang, he glanced at it, nodded his head at Lin Yifan with an embarrassed face, got up and walked to the rotary phone in the store.
"Takahashi-kun is me, what?! Did you find that tape? Have you already watched it? ”
