Chapter 7: The End Time
Officer Yang placed a long needle on the ground beside him, then stood up and moved his body.
"Are you okay? Chen Zai, do you want to help? β
"Shhh
Officer Chen gasped in pain, tied the thread in a knot, and then climbed up very reluctantly.
At this point, he still didn't have a clue.
Ten minutes ago, they encountered the first corpse, and they subconsciously shot directly when they saw this, but it had no effect.
The corpse quickly entered the room and forcibly took its two thighs, one on the left and one on the right.
At that moment, he thought he was going to die, but the strange thing was that the other party unloaded his own legs and replaced them with the two thighs he had just obtained, and the unloaded legs were thrown here along with two pairs of needles and threads, and then left alone.
And just when he was bleeding more than enough and was about to die, Officer Yang suddenly came up with the idea of "sewing its legs".
"Hey...... How did you come up with this idea? β
Officer Chen moved his body for a moment, the size of the legs left by the corpse was not too different from his original match, except for those messy threads and unusually pale skin color after stitching, it was okay to walk normally, but it would definitely have an impact when running.
"I just saw that guy...... Suddenly remembering this stubble, there was no way out before, didn't it? β
Officer Yang pointed to the corpse on the ground, and then smiled bitterly, he couldn't understand what was happening at the moment.
"Yes...... It's not surprising that something has happened to such an evil sect. β
Officer Chen also said helplessly.
But suddenly, he saw that the corpse that had fallen down and was lying on the ground seemed to twitch slightly!
"Isn't it...... Again?! β
The two of them were immediately shocked, and were ready to open the door and run away.
It is impossible to protect the scene anymore, and it would be good if this "scene" did not solve the two of them in turn.
But then it occurred to the two of them that the guy who had unloaded their thighs earlier was probably still wandering outside.
As the two of them looked dead, the corpse writhed very slowly as they stared.
A little...... One point got up from the ground, and then the upper body turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and the limbs and torso of different shapes instantly twisted into a twist.
There was no expression on his pale faces, just staring blankly at the two who had become stunned when they saw this situation.
Then, while the two of them were standing still, it suddenly turned around and slammed towards the door!
"This ...... He seems to be ......"
Officer Yang by the door seemed to think of something, but in the next moment, the corpse instantly pushed open the door and rushed out!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The group immediately ran up the stairs without the corpses to the upper floor, avoiding the many ghosts that roamed around.
"You mean, the corpse holding the rules is itself part of the game, right?"
Zhang Er asked Lin Sheng, who was walking in front, while moving his legs.
"Yes."
Lin Sheng replied, "He was lying on the ground after he fell, so you haven't seen his face." β
"Yes, if your speculation is not wrong...... That guy is probably ......"
"It's the student who committed suicide, if nothing else, that guy is the body of the 'ghost', and catching him will end the game."
"Actually...... Is it so cunning......"
Zhang Er was extremely shocked, he didn't expect that these ghosts would confuse them in this way.
"It can't be said to be 'cunning', they have no wisdom in themselves, they just act according to instinct."
Lin Sheng strode upward, and the sixth floor was already close at hand.
Ghost Catcher Game.
Those corpses are "ghosts", they are "people".
But at the same time, they are both "people" and "ghosts".
And the corresponding "people" ...... It's the corpse with the head.
"That's my current speculation, and it's not 100% certain, but it's a rule-based ...... It should be where the life is. β
Suddenly, there was a "bang"!
He heard what appeared to be a door being pushed open and slamming against the wall!
Trouble...... The two people upstairs shouldn't have been stupid enough to make such a big noise, and it was likely that the corpse had somehow sensed the intentions of himself and the others.
Lin Sheng didn't hesitate at all, no longer caring whether the few people behind him could keep up, but instantly increased his speed to the limit!
As he thought about it, the long knife in his right hand began to tremble and buzz.
[The current conscious energy value is 13, the source structure decomposition is enabled, and the remaining energy value is expected to be 3, and the critical point is about to be reached, please terminate the overclocking state immediately.] γ
At this moment, many police officers and pedestrians at the entrance of the school involuntarily looked at the location of the dormitory building on campus.
Suddenly, there was a light thereβ
A dazzling blue and white light that looks like daytime!
Stepping on the last step, a figure running in the corridor suddenly entered Lin Sheng's line of sight, almost reaching the entrance of the stairs at the other end.
If it is allowed to enter, it will probably take a long time to find it again, and in the process, he will inevitably be consumed by those corpses first.
But now it's unrealistic to catch up by running, and the only way is ......
Lin Sheng couldn't help but reminisce about the remaining energy value information he had just heard.
That's it......
After all...... It's come this far!
Lin Sheng was ruthless -
Take a gamble!
Don't dare to hesitate for half a second, in the state of running at high speed, Lin Sheng suddenly rolled forward and held the unstoppable long knife in an instant, and the next moment the electronic female voice sounded again in his mind!
[Limb control, mental concentration characteristics limit increase, the current consciousness energy value 2, is about to reach a critical point, please immediately terminate the overclocking state.] γ
Then the whole world suddenly turned into extremely slow motion like bullet time!
This is...... One chance!
Certain...... To be hit!
With the full twist of the upper limbs, the long knife burst out from the right wrist in an instant!
Stabbed at full speed in the direction that Lin Sheng's bloodshot eyes were always staring at!
Bell ββ!
The long knife hit the strange running back with unmistakable accuracy!
Suddenly, the sound of gold and iron resounded in this space again.
Despite the corpse's extremely hard surface, the force attached to the blade slammed it against the concrete wall at the end of the hallway in an instant.
Knock ββββββββ!!!
The blade pierced the body in an instant, but it did not penetrate directly, but after entering, it deliberately embedded itself in the body and nailed it to the surface of the wall!
Blue light suddenly poured into the body, and the corpse was like a porcelain that cracked in an instant, and cracks continued to appear on the surface of the skin, and a dazzling light burst out from the cracksβ
[Source structure decomposition takes effect, the realm is about to collapse, and the current consciousness energy value is 1, which is about to reach ......]
Lin Sheng didn't bother to listen to all the information, but immediately lifted his overclocking state like a sudden brake.
Call...... Caught up.
Lin Sheng gasped for breath while revealing an expression like the rest of his life.
However, he didn't catch his breath a few times.
"Why do you want to...... Why do this to me...... Why ......"
A crying teenager's voice reverberated through the aisle out of nowhere.
"Why ......"
"My family gave everything they had to get me here...... I just want to study hard to repay them......"
"Why...... Why are you bullying me...... Why ......"
After Lin Sheng relieved himself, he stood in place as usual, then took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket, took out one and lit it.
And Zhang Er and the others, who were belated, couldn't help but be stunned in place.
"It's him...... Sure enough, it was him......"
Zhang Er showed some unspeakable looks, he had already vaguely guessed not long ago.
"What? Looks like you know what he's going through? β
After Lin Sheng finished speaking, he saw that the other party nodded sluggishly.
After a moment of silence, the other party began to narrate:
Because of this case, they are all well aware of the boy's experience.
Born in the countryside, he came to the big city to study medicine.
Rural people, rustic, introverted, and short in stature, all of which created his situation of being excluded and oppressed.
Until the moment of collapse, he kidnapped and tortured the people who hurt him the most, dismembered and stitched up the bodies of all of them, and then committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Lin Sheng gently exhaled a puff of white smoke.
And this kind of story.
Morpheus is characterized by eating away at humans in dreams.
Want...... The boy was found by them in a state of extreme collapse, and then suffered an infection in the midst of a non-stop nightmare.
After that, the mood becomes more and more frantic under its influence, until it finally kills the targets that have been grudging for a long time.
It's just that it may not have been completely eroded at that time, but his death allowed the thing to directly occupy the magpie's nest and completely integrate into his body.
Lin Sheng knew that the other party's clarity at this moment was just a return to the light.
Whimpering echoes through the aisle.
"You, almost."
Lin Sheng suddenly spoke.
The whimper stopped in a daze.
"Brother Lin, you ......"
Zhang Er was dumbfounded, "Everyone is going to die, so I ...... comfort"
"Aren't you a man? Will you just cry hard? β
Lin Sheng's mocking laugh interrupted Zhang Er's words.
"I've been bullied all the way over the years, and I guess I often secretly nest in the quilt and cry endlessly."
The words fell, and the aisle suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Then the entire field began to tremble like an earthquake, as if its owner was feeling extreme anger.
"Huh...... When it comes to sore spots, you want to come hard? That's all you have, no wonder you collapse to the point of killing and then committing suicide. β
Lin Sheng didn't panic, just smiled, and then took a deep puff of cigarette.
"Have you ever thought about it...... Your family in the countryside? β
"You said that they used everything to support your studies and expenses in the big city, so did you think about them when you killed people and committed suicide?"
"Did you think they might be at home waiting for your message until this moment? What do you say in return...... That's it? β
Throwing the cigarette butt aside and stepping on it, Lin Sheng slowly walked towards the corpse that was nailed to the wall.
"What a bullshit joke."
"As a man, I was bullied and didn't dare to fight back?"
"Whether it's a fist or a scheme, if you want them to be beaten, you can exercise, if you want to embarrass them, you can do tricks, you don't dare to fight back but you can't bear it, and finally kidnap and torture like a pervert and then commit suicide in fear of crime......"
"To be honest, my situation is worse than yours, at least you still have a family waiting for you to go back, and you are like this rabbit cub, even if you don't die in school, you have to die in society, you deserve to be miserable here?"
The tremor of space stopped for a moment.
A long time has passed.
"Why...... It's so painful to be human...... I just want to live......"
The boy's immature voice reappeared, full of desperate feelings.
"Everyone in the world is suffering, who doesn't keep pouring chicken soup for themselves to persevere, no worries, can't hold on, then say goodbye and reopen."
Lin Sheng lit a second cigarette.
"Do you want to start over......"
The young man's voice sounded a little puzzled, "That'...... Will there be an afterlife? β
"Who knows."
Lin Sheng gently exhaled a smoke ring, and the gray-white smoke ring fluttered in the air, and finally gradually dispersed at the top of his head.
"Since you are already dead, then go in peace, as a man, you have to face the consequences of your choices, besides...... As the saying goes, if you change one for two blood, you can't count it as a loss, but those two passers-by may be a little innocent. β
"Those two...... It's the teacher who shields those guys. β
"Oh...... Then your obsession is quite deep. β
Lin Sheng nodded matter-of-factly.
"You...... Can you apologize to my family on my behalf? In this life...... It's me who is sorry for them. β
The boy's voice was a little low.
"I'm sorry, not really."
Lin Sheng rejected the other party's plea.
"If nothing else, it is estimated that in two days we will be able to meet offline, and it is more reliable for you to find other people, such as a few over there, um...... Forget it, they will be adjusted and forgotten after a while. β
The scene fell silent.
After a few seconds.
ββ¦β¦ In a word...... Thank you anyway. β
"Thanks, I just killed you with my own hands."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Zhang Er, Forensic Doctor Qian and others behind him listened to the whole process with black lines, and at some point, two police officers had also joined them.
It seems that all the worries are gone, and the next moment-
A sonic boom sounded very suddenly!
Everything around them shattered and cracked in an instant.
The picture in his eyes turned into countless fragments in an instant as if the sky was falling apart-
With the sound that was slowed down a thousand times after it sounded, the whole world that was detonated suddenly turned into an extremely slow mime in the eyes of everyone......
"This time...... You can sleep well, there will be no more exclusion and oppression, no more nightmares......"
Uh-
Lin Sheng stood in the center of the shattered world and gently exhaled the last of the white smoke.
"In a world where there are even 'ghosts', will there be an afterlife......?"
"I want to know, too."
Fragments like mirror-shattered fragments churned and danced in the air.
In the next second, it accelerated in an instantβ
It's as if you've been stripped of this world.
Leaving only pure darkness and nothingness in everyone's vision......
