Chapter 13: The Allure of Death (3)
Friday is a good day, and for students, Friday means a week of physical and mental liberation from the prison known as the campus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's right, Friday itself is a 'super college hope'!
The time is set for after school β
After making an appointment with his classmates, Ye Ling came to the game center on the top floor of the largest shopping mall in the town.
"Hmph, don't forget the pocket money I saved this week. This is the male classmate who accompanied Ye Ling to see his pet before, and his face is full of sadness at the moment...... In order to be able to be chic in the game center today, this product has saved the money for lunch every day, and it is embarrassing for him to not eat lunch for a week.
"Ahaha......" In this regard, Ye Ling could only laugh a few times, it was impossible to encourage. Although he didn't reach his extreme, it was still easy to save a few dollars...... Well, a few bucks.
At the counter of the game center, under the guidance of the waiter aunt, the two quickly exchanged cash for game currency.
"By the way, I still remember the newly opened pet store a few weeks ago...... "Because of the large number of people on vacation, Ye Ling and his male classmates wandered around, looking for fun machines. The male classmate suddenly asked about this topic.
"Ah, the pet shop. Speaking of that, Ye Ling also thought about it. "It's a pity, I was reported to go out of business or something. That is, the next day, Ye Ling, who wanted to send the rabbit back, found out and could only adopt it for nothing.
"It's a matter of course to be reported bankrupt, who called him such a bad service attitude. Thinking of the store manager's indifferent face, the male classmate couldn't help but shudder.
"Is there one?" Ye Ling thought about it for a while, he felt quite kind.
"Hey, what do you think of that?" the male classmate pointed to a machine...... "Asphalt", as the name suggests.
"No, we played it last week. "I'm tired of playing.
"So, what about that. "A shooting machine full of basketballs.
"I can only invest 10 times with two game coins, which feels like a loss...... Besides, don't we shoot basketballs every day in gym class?"
"How's that going?"
"I don't mind...... If you are willing to wait in line for half an hour. Ye Ling glanced at the crowd of onlookers who surrounded the table and watched the game between the two adults.
"What about this?"
β...... Although I think that playing this first in the game center does not mean that it is over. Ye Ling couldn't help but look away. "That, the alias of the crane machine is also a piggy bank~~" If you don't mind wasting all the money you saved for a week, basically no one can easily catch the doll.
"Stain, you're so demanding. β
"I'm talking objectively. β
"It's so troublesome, just pick one, just this one!" Finally, walking to the depths of the game center, the male classmate stopped in front of a large machine.
β...... Are you sure?" Ye Ling hesitated.
"Hahaha, you shouldn't be scared, right?" the male classmate had already started to put in the coin, and pulled out the infrared submachine gun in the slot of the machine.
"No, I'm not afraid. β
How to say it, since there is a girl who likes to watch horror movies at home, Ye Ling, who often watches onlookers, said that he has a certain degree of resistance. Moreover, it's not that I haven't played this kind of shooting game with my sister's computer. Ye Ling was worried that the money would not be enough immediately...... This zombie-fighting machine has to invest seven game coins at a time.,And die once on the gameover.,There is no intimate arrangement of three lives.,The terrifying game picture and the consumption of the pit dad make many players shy away.γ
As a consumer, Ye Ling also felt that it was not worth playing this, but his friend's provocation had already been exported, and Ye Ling could only fight.
"...... "It's okay to cast one less...... Well, the machine didn't respond, it seems useless.
After throwing in the coin, with the realization that he had to at least complete a few levels, Ye Ling officially picked up another infrared pistol on the machine.
Pistol......
"Why is yours a submachine gun and mine a pistol? "What an unfair feeling!
"Hmph, young man, it's too naΓ―ve, didn't your family tell you the truth that strike first?" the male classmate shook the submachine gun in his hand very smugly...... Then, his eyes looked at the screen of the machine, and he carefully set up the poss for holding the gun.
Under the bloody screen prompt, the game begins-
......
Dozens of seconds laterβ
"Hey, how did you die. "The correct posture for holding the gun? I'm sorry, I don't care about this kind of detail for a long time, anyway, there is an infrared crosshair, and the male classmate is just shooting at the zombies.
"I said that I used a pistol, and when I changed the bullets, I asked you to help me clean it up, but you only cared about yourself. "I believed in my teammates too much, and it turned out to be tragic...... Of course, the nervousness of playing this game for the first time also caused a mistake caused by not shooting a zombie.
"Then you will be resurrected!"
"I'm sorry, I don't have enough money. "One dollar can be exchanged for two, but Ye Ling only exchanged eight pieces.
"Huh~~" The male classmate said that he couldn't support it anymore.
Sure enoughβ
Without the support of his teammates, the male classmates also regretted their deaths.
[Prompt tone: You were bitten to death by a zombie, do you want to be resurrected?] A pop-up window pops up on the screen, and there is a ten-second countdown to the selection next to it.
β...... Alas, play something else. Sure enough, this kind of game is not accessible to junior high school students, and the male classmates regretfully retracted their attention.
"I don't have any money anymore, unless you pleaseβ" Ye Ling glanced at his friend.
"Okay, okay, I'll please I'll please~~" Anyway, I'm here to play, and it's the most fun to play with friends. The male classmate hooked up with Ye Ling's shoulders and slowly left.
Without looking at the rest of the prompts, the two slowly left......
Seeing that the prompt tone was about to enter the last three-second countdown, at this moment, the sound of the coin was remembered. Let the red number of the countdown stop.
One, two, three...... Seven, eight...... Fourteen coins, seven coins on the left and right slots, a total of fourteen coins.
Unlike the rest of the players, this guy doesn't seem to be throwing in in-game coins, but real coins...... Fourteen coins are equivalent to twenty-eight game coins, which is really a loser.
β......β
After throwing the coin, the black-haired girl dressed in a black peaked cap, black jacket and black shorts took the lollipop in her mouth and stared at the screen, holding a submachine gun and a pistol in each of her free hands.
The game starts again -
...
......
The first floor is a jewelry and miscellaneous goods area, the second floor is a women's clothing area, the third floor is a men's clothing area, the fourth floor is a daily necessities area, and the fifth floor is a food and vegetable area. The sixth floor is the home appliance area, the seventh floor is the game center, and the eighth floor is the movie theater...... That's how powerful the town's biggest shopping mall is!
A beige wool kaftan with a white long skirt is full of married women.
Pushing the trolley, the maid lady now buys fruits, vegetables and snacks on the fifth floor...... Of course, it is not denied that this is related to the character of my own young lady who likes to walk around.
Having finished shopping, pausing between the shelves, Miss Maid pondered whether to go to the ground floor to settle the bill first, or go to the seventh floor to get Alice back.
"You're the woman who followed Gus?" At this moment, an unfamiliar woman's voice came from behind him.
"......" doesn't recognize the sound when you hear it.
After the maid lady looked back in a daze, there was no one behind her.
However, at this time, what the maid lady didn't notice was that the shelves beside her began to tremble inexplicably.
Right awayβ
The shelves shuddered slightly...... Instead, he tilted directly in the direction of the maid lady and smashed down!
"!!" out of physical instinct, took a step back, and the maid lady subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to block it.
At this time, another guy appeared.
The strange man ran and pounced, pushing the maid out of the corner of the shelf.
Just like the chain reaction of dominoes, one after another, the booming collapse of the shelves one after another caused exclamations from the surrounding passers-by.
Fortunately, passers-by in the back row noticed the abnormality and immediately ran out of the shelves, which did not lead to a tragedy.
"...... actually, the weight of the shelves is not too heavy for the ghost clan, and the maid can push it back with one hand. However, since he was saved. Then I want to say thank you.
Getting up again, and looking at her own cart that was pressed under the shelves with some pity, Miss Maid shook her head, and could only go shopping again.
Recently, I learned the basic words of thanks.,Miss Maid was about to say thanks.,But,After coming back to your senses,,I found that the other party who saved me was missing.γ
......
"Gaga, do you see where that demon is fleeing?" Casio, who had just saved a woman and was wearing brown sunglasses with a guitar case on his back, glanced over the various pedestrians in the supermarket.
Being able to persecute passers-by unscrupulously, this is the dismount of the self who pursued her, Casio's face became more and more gloomy.
"Right!" Lying on Casio's head, sniffing the air, Gaga raised his little hand to show the way.
Following Gaga's guidance, Casio quickened his pace of catching up.
......
On the other side β
"Damn paladin. Leaning on the stairs of the safety exit, the beautiful woman bit her fingers, the same face is not very good.
"I didn't mess with you, you did trouble me. The woman raised her hand, and purple flames flickered and floated in her palm. "Don't you really want to save people? She raised her head slightly and looked at a certain line network overhead, and under the purple firelight, the woman's expression was full of dark cruelty.
......
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Hmm!" suddenly the arcade machine ran out of power...... No, it should be said that the whole arcade suddenly went dark.
"Something happened. Getting up from his seat, Ye Ling looked suspicious, and the male classmate next to him did the same.
In the game center, everyone made a noisy noise.
"It's the alarm bell of the mall. According to the answer of the waitress aunt in the distance, Ye Ling understood. "It seems like something happened to the mall, and now everyone is evacuating. β
"Well, but I haven't had enough. The male classmate stared at the arcade screen, a little unwilling.
"It doesn't matter what it is. Pulling his friend's hand, under the dredge of the waiter's aunt, Ye Ling and his male classmates left along the flow of people in the game center towards the safe exit.
"By the way, did you notice? There was a guy playing our previous game console, and there were a lot of people watching, and I heard that it was very powerful. The male classmate with the schoolbag looked back at the zombie game console in front of him...... Because of the darkness and the large number of people, I can't see clearly, so I can only regretfully withdraw my gaze.
"yes. Ye Ling also noticed it, but there were too many onlookers, and he didn't see who the guy playing the game was.
"I can play such a difficult game for so long, and I heard that it has broken the previous record...... Do you think it could be a professional gamer?"
......In Ye Ling's opinion, a waste person who is similar to the old lady doesn't understand what to look forward to.
Two junior high school students left......
