Chapter 7: The Horror of the Inn (Part II)
The rune paper burns automatically the moment it is thrown.
The light of the fire was faint, but it was like a sting, and the "pink pajamas" actually retreated one after another in the face of the two runic fire attacks that suddenly smashed their faces, and finally crashed headlong into the wall and disappeared.
"Run!" Tang Xuan said loudly, and then quickly picked up the arms of the two girls who were about to collapse on the ground, supported them and rushed towards the door.
Bang! There was a loud bang.
The door of the room, which was not locked and hidden, kicked open with all Tang Xuan's strength.
Ignoring the cursing of the other surrounding travelers after being awakened, Tang Xuan's eyes rolled and he quickly scanned the environment outside the room.
"Take the stairs!" After glancing at the old-fashioned elevator on the first floor out of the corner of his eye, he immediately decided.
In the middle of the night, almost all the guests are asleep, and the open-air corridors are empty, except for the flickering lights.
Just as Tang Xuan dragged the two girls through the corridor and down the first flight of stairs......
咯~咯~咯~
The creak of the twisting of the rotten joints rang out from behind the three of them again.
Why the hell is this so difficult!
Tang Xuan couldn't help but keep cursing in his heart, and with the slightest ambiguity, he pulled out three runes from his waist again, and threw them towards the strange shadow behind him without looking.
The rune paper once again spontaneously combusted without fire at the moment when it approached the shadow!
There was no room to move and dodge in the narrow corridor, and the strange "pink pajamas" who were hit by the three clusters of rune fire let out a terrible scream again.
The shadow dissipated.
The hallway lights then returned to normal and were no longer on or off.
Without hesitation, the three of them seized the opportunity to rush to the bottom of the building in one go, and escaped from the door in a panic under the surprised gaze of the aunt at the front desk who changed shifts.
Whew~Whew~ I'm out of breath! If you can go back alive this time, fitness must be on the agenda!
Tang Xuan, who had just rushed out of the gate, held his hands on his knees and panted breathlessly, although the distance was short, the violent running still made him a little out of breath.
Finally in a slightly better state, Tang Xuan subconsciously looked up at the open-air corridor on the third floor behind him.
Is it wiped out? Tang Xuan said secretly in his heart.
But when he raised his head, his eyes happened to meet the resentful blood-red eyes of the "pink pajamas" who were holding the railing with both hands.
However, this ghost thing also seemed to have been hit hard, and its body was illusory and swaying, and it just stood there quietly watching the three of them, and there was no tendency to move.
At a glance, Tang Xuan's hair exploded like a frightened cat.
"Quick...... Come on! He urged loudly.
After waking up in a dream, several explosive and strenuous exercises in a row made Tang Xuan, who was already an office worker and a little stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical fitness, squeeze out all his physical fitness.
The state of the two girls at this time was even more unbearable.
But even so, a strong sense of fear once again prompted them to burst out of their powerful potential again.
After running a distance of nearly 1 kilometer, the trio finally hit a taxi on the side of the street that was still in operation in the middle of the night.
At 2 o'clock in the night, it was silent in the dead of night.
In the nineties of the twentieth century, Japan was known as the top ten most romantic scenic spots - XX Bridge.
In this era when there was no Internet, trysts on the bridge once became fashionable for young people. According to taxi drivers, the air here is full of hormones.
However, Tang Xuan and the three of them obviously didn't have the energy to feel these romantic things at this time.
There are still a few pairs of men and women hugging each other on the bridge to share the beauty of the night.
Under the bridge, in the dry waterway, in the damp bridge hole, Wang Ling was comforting the sobbing Li Panxia.
"Instead of suffering such fear all the time, it is better to die directly!"
"Why me, I don't want to play this fucking game! I'm going back! ”
Li Panxia was hysterical, completely losing the reason and calmness that he had when he first met.
This is understandable, even if a calm person is, anyone who enters this kind of game without knowing it and faces the weirdness and faces the experience of this kind of worldview collapse will probably not be much better than it.
If it weren't for the strong obsession of resurrecting Zhao Xue, I am afraid it would only be even more unbearable.
Thinking of Zhao Xue, Tang Xuan's slightly cloudy gaze gradually became clear and firm.
But Wang Ling's adaptability is really amazing......
His eyes swept over Wang Ling, who was hugging Li Panxia and whispering comfort, Tang Xuan was sitting on the other side of the bridge, holding a wooden box in his arms and frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Finally, Li Panxia's mood gradually stabilized, and Wang Ling pulled her to sit next to Tang Xuan.
"Was that really just now?" Wang Ling asked.
"That's right!" Tang Xuan nodded, "That's what you think." ”
"Hiss~" Wang Ling gasped, and her tone became a little depressed, "That Mowen, she really ......"
Tang Xuan opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say for a while, and after a short two-second thought, he finally replied, "She...... There's no going back. And now 'it' is no longer your friend, but the C-level boss in this game......"
"I've been thinking about how the increase in the difficulty of the game is manifested." He cleared his throat and continued, "Based on our previous consensus, assuming that the Curse Body can't leave the villa, then no matter how much the C-level boss increases, as long as we don't return to the villa, then the difficulty will be the same - surviving for three days, which is obviously unreasonable!" ”
"Now it seems that the key to this increase in difficulty lies in this C-level boss. They may not be as terrifying as the Curse itself, but they can break away from the villa! ”
"How so? Why can't you leave the villa even if it's not the body of the curse? Wang Ling raised her head and asked.
"If the body of the curse can also get out of the villa, I'm afraid it's not just Mowen that we saw just now." Tang Xuan stretched out his hand and subconsciously groped in his pocket, suddenly remembering that the box containing cigarettes he didn't bring with him before entering the game, and finally he held his chin and said word by word, "There will be no 100% unsolvable tasks in the game!" Otherwise, it's not a game, it's purgatory. ”
"I think some kind of intelligent life being who created all of this might be watching us behind the scenes." Speaking of this, the cold glint in Tang Xuan's eyes was cold, and his tone was suddenly as cold as an eternal ice ballast, "One day, I will find this guy behind the scenes, complete my goal, and then ...... Kill him! ”
That coldness, even Wang Ling, who was sitting beside him, felt a burst of coldness. Then after another moment of silence, Wang Ling spoke up: "There will be such a day, I believe you can do it." As long as we live! ”
"By the way, what is the origin of the rune paper you used in the hotel just now, this thing can really work on ghosts." Looking at the box in Tang Xuan's hand, Wang Ling's tone was rare with doubts on the first floor.
Seeing that the topic was here, Tang Xuan couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face: "When I finished the first game, I exchanged reward points for a lot of cash, which was originally found in a store that sold funeral supplies for peace of mind, and I didn't expect it to be really useful." ”
"Really?" A look of surprise appeared on Wang Ling's face, "Then how many of these runes do you have?" With proper application, I think we might be able to get through the remaining two days with this one in peace. ”
Li Panxia also raised her head when she heard this, and her scattered eyes regained a look of hope.
"Uh......" Tang Xuan opened his mouth, and then said with some heaviness, "This rune paper is sold for 998 cash in that store. ”
Wang Ling didn't expect Tang Xuan to answer like this, she couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaiming: "Big brother, my life is at stake, is it time to think about money?" As long as you complete the task, the money on the rune paper is not worth mentioning at all compared to the game points you can get, and I will compensate ......you after I go back."
Seeing Tang Xuan's regretful face, Wang Ling suddenly remembered something, and her voice gradually lowered.
That's right, it was originally something that Tang Xuantu bought with peace of mind, before confirming that it really had such an effect, who would buy too much of this thing in a normal person? I'm afraid that it should be used as a butt wipe.
Rubbing his face, Li Panxia, who had regained consciousness, continued solemnly instead of Wang Ling, "No, what you used just now is all the stock you bought." ”
"Not really." Tang Xuan solemnly took out a rough wooden box from his arms, and saw that the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "At that time, there was an event in the store, buy ten pieces of rune paper and get two free, the boss saw that I was a big customer, so he simply pushed me a perfect package worth 100,000 yuan. ”
The box opened, Tang Xuan: "Twelve pieces of rune paper, there are still six pieces left after removing the six sheets that were used just now, in addition, there are these two white candles and a pile of paper money fire paper, I don't know if it is useful, I can only try it when I encounter 'it' again......"
"Phew! Bah! Bah! Halfway through his words, in the face of the unkind gaze of the two women, Tang Xuan hurriedly snorted three times, "Bad luck, it's better not to meet it." ”
After this, the tense atmosphere in the three-person room eased slightly.
After thinking for a while, Tang Xuan took out three of the last six rune papers, and handed two of them to the two girls: "The effect of rune paper, after exploring just now, I have come to a set of conclusions. Wearing only one piece of talisman paper can serve as a warning, and it will heat up to warn you when approaching strangely, and it can also resist an invasion when you actually encounter an attack. ”
"Two runes can temporarily defeat a C-level boss, and three runes can hit it hard when used at the same time...... Now we each wear one just in case, and I leave three to play a decisive role in the critical moment. ”
"In that case, why don't you just make two sets of three? When we encounter that thing, even if there is a warning from the rune paper, it will be difficult for us to run away, so it is better to ......" Wang Ling subconsciously replied.
Without waiting for Tang Xuan to answer, Li Panxia took the lead in holding Wang Ling's hands: "Sister, have you forgotten how you felt when you were targeted by that thing just now?" ”
"Feelings? Ah~" Wang Ling's reaction speed was very fast, and under Li Panxia's reminder, she also wanted to understand the key points, and then a cool breath surged up from the back of her neck.
"That's right, if there is no rune paper's resistance to the invasion, under the effect of that terrifying deterrent, it will be difficult for us to even move a finger, let alone resist." Tang Xuan nodded with a wry smile.
"Depending on the situation, that thing shouldn't be with us for the time being, let's rest here for a while. Let's go to the surrounding temples tomorrow morning.,Since there are runes in the real world that can restrain weirdness.,So why can't you have it in this game world? The temples on the map can't all be beautiful, right? Maybe we'll be able to learn some kind of mantra or something. By the way, isn't there also an exchange for these exercises in the throne's in-game currency exchange list? As he spoke, Tang Xuan also raised the double helix gene card in his hand that represented the player's body method.
Holding her chin, Wang Ling said, "I can only ...... I hope so. Okay, since we can rest at ease for the time being, let's rest for a while, otherwise we won't be able to hold back before that thing comes. As she spoke, she stretched her waist, and for a while her figure curves were fully revealed.
Pulling Li Panxia to squeeze into the inside of the bridge, the two girls soon fell asleep.
For some reason, there are no mosquitoes in the bridge cave in this summer.
The clothes of the two women were also changed to ordinary casual clothes early in the daytime, and out of caution, they were all dressed and slept in the famous house, and there was no trouble caused by the clothes at this time.
Sighing, Tang Xuan stuffed the small box containing the remaining talisman paper into his jacket pocket after a little thought, and soon, his upper and lower eyelids could no longer contain the sleepiness, and when they closed, his consciousness fell into the mud of thoughts.
The body of the curse did not appear, and it should still be waiting in the villa, and it was only pink pajamas that came to the door just now.
Is it really because of the difficulty upgrade that the C-level boss is not limited by the villa? Or is there something else going on? Can this nearby temple really find a solution? ……
With a lot of questions, the exhausted Tang Xuan soon fell asleep.
This night is destined to be difficult to sleep.
