Chapter 39: Assimilation
Bai Su saw a colored ball pop on the roof of the mall and open it, and the falling banner was written with this sentence.
In addition to the banners, colorful sequins and ribbons floated out of thin air, falling from the top floor to the atrium, and began to accumulate on the ground, and in a short time, a thick layer had been built.
Those faint black stains on the first floor were submerged, and soon, the entire first floor became a sea of streamers.
Bai Su had some bad premonitions.
He looked back and saw that the shop, which had just been a bubble tea shop, had now completely changed its appearance.
The metal roller shutter door becomes transparent, like a display screen, through which you can see the scene inside, and several pixel figures spin back and forth, as if looking for a target to attack.
What is this kind of like?
An Xiangwen also saw it along Bai Su's line of sight, he thought about it, and it felt like an arcade picture.
During the period when the human beings were shaking their gods, Bai Su had already run far away.
An Xiangwen hurriedly put aside the changes in the environment for the time being, picked up Tong Wenwen again, and tried to keep up.
Bai Su stopped by the escalator.
What used to be a section of stairs has been replaced by rolling tracks, and there are even sharp spikes growing on the tracks, and you have to go through a parkour first thing to run.
An Xiangwen, who had been several beats slower, finally caught up with someone, and he also saw the change in the escalator, and muttered: "What the hell is going on...... Wasn't it okay just now? ”
Bai Su glanced at the human, and the other party's blank look hung on his face.
This change in the environment, which is beyond human comprehension, seems to him to be very acceptable.
Assimilation.
With the monster's cognition, this mall has become a closed space after the arrival of the supernatural, and the enclosed space temporarily belongs to this supernatural, and it is possible for it to make changes to its own things.
For example, now, the entire shopping mall has been assimilated into the style of a game arcade, the mall is a game hall, and the store is a game console.
The only thing that puzzled Bai Su was what stimulated the supernatural.
His previous act of salivaing in the game hall? It shouldn't be, he just got hungry for a while, did he really do it.
Bai Su, who didn't feel that he had revealed anything, flipped through the slips of paper he brought out from the bubble tea shop in his hand, and the slips of paper in the format of takeout orders were filled with the same content in each place - please collect five cards with a string of exclamation points.
The human on the side didn't dare to go up after seeing the escalator, so he turned his head and happened to see what the note was written.
The text is so dense that it seems to be urging.
An Xiangwen looked at the movement around him, and then looked at the note, and he was a little broken.
"How do you collect cards like that?"
Because of the previous sudden braking in front of the escalator, An Xiangwen's work shoes on the girl's feet were not hung up firmly and rolled off the tracks.
The soft-soled leather shoe was carried forward by a dozen centimeters, and then a spike protruded, precisely penetrating the leather upper.
The spikes then slowly retracted with the leather shoes, and as they approached the tracks, the tracks naturally jagged into jagged holes, swallowing the spurs into it.
Now it's just that you don't have good shoes on, so what if people walk up to it?
As if seeing the scene where he landed on the spike, An Xiangwen took two steps back.
Human mood changes are triggered.
Bai Su was still there thinking about how to go downstairs, and he needed to go downstairs to the underground garage to find clues to the carrion.
It's okay for him to go down on his own, but it's not so convenient for humans.
Putting humans on their hands? How can ordinary humans mention that the weight of two people is more normal?
Just thinking about it, Bai Su suddenly noticed that An Xiangwen's whole body was shaking, and he looked over and found that human emotions were almost distorted.
An Xiangwen's hand holding the girl's calf was clenched very tightly, and a red mark was forced on the human leg, and if he held it again, it might develop into bruises.
The supernatural feeds on human pain and fear, but Bai Su has no interest in these emotions.
He just felt that human emotions had once again come to the edge of the cliff, and one would fall if he was not careful.
Bai Su felt that he had to do something, thinking that human beings had been very persistent in following him along the way, although it was a little troublesome, but he also gave some meaningful views.
He decided to be considerate.
"An Xiangwen." Bai Su softly called out the human name.
The human subconsciously turned his head, the self-pity on his face was not collected, and he met the black-haired young man with a soft look on him.
His dark eyes were as dark as the abyss, and with a slight smile on his face, he shook his shoulders and almost dropped the girl he was carrying on his back to the ground.
Bai Su tilted his head and asked, "Do you have any thoughts on the state of 'living'?" ”
"Or do you want to leave here as 'An Xiangwen', or something else?"
As he spoke, he held out a hand to the human.
……
Bai Su pushed open the door of the stairwell, and a slight wind blew from below.
He had a dangerous idea a few minutes ago, but unfortunately he didn't put it into practice.
After he asked the first two questions, the human fell into a state of obvious confusion, and even the fear was temporarily put behind and thought about the answer.
After a while, he said in a tangled way: "I am me...... Still alive? I think it's good to be alive, I don't want to die! ”
An Xiangwen looked at Bai Su's hand hesitantly, and his head shook into a rattle.
All right.
Bai Su withdrew his hand regretfully, he respected the choice of mankind.
didn't know at all that he had walked before the door of death, and An Xiangwen didn't have time to return to fear, so he was smashed with the third question: "Is there any other way to the underground garage?" ”
An paused and replied, "Elevator or stairwell...... On the side of the mall. ”
So the two took the girl who was still unconscious and left the escalator, which had been completely assimilated by the game hall, avoiding various obstacles along the way, such as mushrooms and water pipes, and ran into the emergency exit on the side.
They originally wanted to take the elevator directly, but they pressed the button on the fifth floor for a long time and there was no response, and the elevator stopped on the sixth floor, which seemed to be out of order.
As a last resort, he turned to the stairwell on the side.
This place has not been affected by the game hall for the time being, and you can go up and down the stairs normally.
After about two floors, the surrounding walls began to warp, and the color gradient blurred into gorgeous flower bones.
An Xiangwen wanted to turn back, but was stopped by Bai Su.
Bai Su admonished him: "Don't look back, for your sake." ”
In fact, the flowers growing on the wall are not very irrational, and the cartoon patterns can even be called childlike.
Bai Su would warn that it was all because of the speed of An Xiangwen going downstairs, and the curly-haired young man who had carried a person on his back walked more and more slowly, and the red-and-white flower bones grew several times by rubbing the scalp of a human being.
If you slow down, either An Xiangwen's head will be eaten or Tong Wenwen's head will be bitten.
All the way down, the number on the wall changed from 5 to 2 to B1, and when he went down to the last flight of stairs, Bai Su grabbed An Xiangwen's arm and pushed the person forward, while he himself stayed at the end, slamming the door panel into the giant mouth of the man-eating flower chasing them.
"Bang!"
It was the sound of a human falling and the sound of a door being slammed, and the underground garage was silent except for the movement in the stairwell.
There were only a few cars parked in the empty parking lot, one or two cars were standing in the middle of the road, the doors were open but there were no drivers or passengers, guessing that they wanted to flee by car, but they gave up after too much time.
What's in the underground garage?
Tong Wenwen was manipulated by the supernatural before she explained it, and then she was knocked unconscious by Bai Su, and she is still unconscious.
However, Bai Su didn't need Tong Wenwen very much, after arriving at the underground garage, he obviously felt that it was a little colder than upstairs, and the strong smell was coming from a certain direction.
From the underground garage of the West Building, walk to the northeast corner, which happens to be the center of the entire mall.
Above ground is the location of the atrium, which becomes a solidified concrete wall underground.
Bai Su came to the wall and knocked on it with a bang.
In a few clicks, he knocked on the hollow area.
