118. Shadow
The sound of the heart thumping echoed on the eardrums, and Bai Buzhi rushed forward with all his might.
For the first time in his life, he wholeheartedly repented that he should not let Qin Zhiyuan take the physical education exam in the past few years in college.
To add insult to injury, he didn't change his shoes at all before he came out, and a pair of big slippers made a loud noise, as if it wasn't the ground but his IQ......
Before his lungs could reach their limits, he catapulted into Site-4 like a cannonball!
It's not that he didn't believe the message, but the path out of the yellow line had been blocked by the humanoid, and it was a dead end to turn back.
There were more figures approaching to the left and right, and his only chance was to enter the Site-4 building.
The entrance was a long hallway, empty as far as the eye could see, with several open doors on the left and right, and no idea what was behind it.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been to investigate the entire map and decide which door to enter, but Bai Buzhi did not hesitate for half a second, and directly turned to the first door.
With the pursuers in the future, he didn't have time to observe in detail.
Without more information, the risk of each door was equal to that of him.
According to the "Gardener", he shouldn't have entered Site-4 in the first place, but now he was just forced to do so, so he chose the outermost room to make it easier to get out later.
There was a light in the door and the room was not big. Near the door were two iron-framed beds facing each other, the sheets hanging long to the floor.
Bai Buyi bent down and lifted the sheets, which were empty underneath. It wasn't a good hiding place, but the echo of footsteps was already ringing at the entrance to the building.
There was no time to look for it again, so he ducked into the gap under him, and he didn't even have time to breathe, so he immediately straightened the sheets that he had lifted with his backhand.
Just as he reached out and flipped the last corner of the sheet off, the sound of something that had been chasing after him before also sounded in the room.
It is clear that the doors of so many rooms are open, but it chose this room that Bai doesn't know in the first place?!
Bright light casts shadows that belong to monsters in the room.
Bai Buzhi's eyes were round, and he didn't dare to come out, so he pulled the collar of his jacket up to block his mouth and nose, trying to cover his breath.
Presumably this trick worked, and instead of bending down to check, the monster walked deeper into the room.
The sound of opening cabinets and other furniture came, and Bai Buyi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
It didn't seem that the thing had a very keen sense of smell, otherwise it would have been the first to find him anyway.
At this moment, he has a feeling of unreality, and it is purely the instinct to survive to make this wave of operations.
After reading so many stories, Bai Buzhi is definitely not the kind of cannon fodder who will suspect that he is acting after entering an infinite stream game, but even he feels that all this is really weird.
There's nothing in your ears to "ding" to indicate that your plug-in system has arrived, there's no veteran telling you "it's all true" and punching a few dead newcomers into small pies, and there's nothing like a high-tech looking Lord God Light Ball or a train car......
How did things come to this? He was obviously just out and making a phone call.
Is he in another dimension or plane? Will he be able to go back? Are there any other humans in this place?
With an extremely complicated mood, Bai Buzhi looked at his terminal. The male protagonist of the novel should turn off the power of the mobile phone at this time to avoid power consumption, and leave it for the future or something, should he be like this?
The shadows go and come back.
Bai Buzhi suddenly realized that he had probably thought too soon...... I don't know when the monster had finished checking the rest of the room and stood in front of the bed where he was hiding again.
Bai Bu clearly heard a pair of hands turning over the thin quilt and pillow on the bed.
Isn't this thing devoid of smell? And how can there be such intelligence when they are all dead? Zombies have to look like zombies, hey!
However, no matter how angry he roared in his heart, the other party did not stop moving. Bai Buzhi could imagine that there was only a thin layer of bed between his blackened hands and his head.
If it's crazy, maybe those arms will pierce the bed straight to him?
A similar scene has not been encountered by Bai Buzhi. The holographic games of this era are similar to reality, and the dungeons in Strange Rules 2023 are not ordinary content suitable for all ages.
In the June Flower Cinema, he once looked at the charred corpse, and on the 498 road, he even talked and laughed with the old woman. It stands to reason that he has been trained enough.
But this time, only this time, Shiro is 100% sure that this is not a game or any fantasy of his.
The real one is standing here, not some consciousness connected by high technology, and the monster in front of him is also real.
The game is not the same as reality, and it is enough to be aware of it.
In the game, players will return to their personal space and lament that the hours of hard work have been wasted.
But what about reality? When a person dies, he dies, and there is no going back.
The hands searched as if it were not the bed board but his skull, and Shiro could not make out where his upper limbs were moving from the slightest sound.
When he's done finding his bed, he's gone—he thought—don't stay, go.
Why do you have to search this room? Could it have seen him come in before, so it was so sure? Or did he hide under the bed and didn't fix the sheets?
It shouldn't be the latter, and if it was, it should have checked here in the first place, not searched inside. And if it's the former...... He had entered the room closest to the hallway, how could he be seen?
Fifteen seconds, as long as a century, he heard in horror that the monster had searched the bed above his head.
Then it went the other way.
Bai Buzhi's heart was slightly lowered.
There are two beds in the room, and it's time to go after searching it. From the details of this carpet search, he guessed that this thing still retained the most basic intelligence.
Then it shouldn't have been here for too long.
Could the monster be drumming in his heart at this moment, thinking that the man in the slippers should have gone to another room and wasting his strength?
That's right, Bai Buzhi thought, I'm in another room! Why don't you go......
Instead, the monster searched the bed across from him, but the footsteps didn't go out the door.
On the contrary, the sound of footsteps went and returned in Bai Buzhi's instantly dilated pupils.
Again, it stopped at the side of the bed where Bai Buzhi was.
It shouldn't be like this. There's not much that can be checked on it, and it must have been turned over.
Unless, unless......
Like a normal person, it realized that there should be a person hidden under the bed, in the place covered by the sheets......
The next second, as if the burnt hand was gripping the edge of the sheet.
Its fingertips were less than 3 centimeters away from the white face.
