Chapter 3: Strange Towers
"Innate skills"? This is content that has never appeared before, Yue Chaoxi thought to himself, could it be that when he dozed off, the app was automatically updated?
Adhering to the principle that you have to take a look if you have been here, Yue Chaoxi clicked in, and there were only three gray words "Resurrection Coins" written on it, and the instructions below said that it can be used under certain conditions.
"That's the only one?" Yue Zhaoxi muttered to himself. Tap back and forth on the screen, but this "Resurrection Coins" are gray and obviously unavailable, and what does the specific condition written on the description mean? Can such a vagueness be called an explanation?
Yue Zhaoxi sighed, and could only take one step at a time. Yue Chaoxi walked into the walled city, the environment here was like a labyrinth, and he quickly lost his way. The low shacks and old houses are crowded together, and the buildings are so close to each other that even the fresh air is cut off by the stacked high-rises, and all that can be seen here is the dark, dirty, damp, rotten, and winding alleys.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a sudden sound in the distance, Yue Chaoxi looked for the sound, the sound became louder and louder, it was clearly the sound of a machete chopping bones, the closer to this sound the more it made people's hearts furious. Until Yue Chaoxi came to a butcher's shop, the sound of chopping bones came from here.
Yue Zhaoxi peeked in through the crack in the iron window, and the blood and flies that rushed in his face made him unable to open his eyes, and he didn't know when the sound of chopping bones stopped. When Yue Zhaoxi opened his eyes, a thing wearing a big-headed doll was looking at Yue Zhaoxi, the hideous smiling face made people's scalp tingle, Yue Zhaoxi was startled and took a step back. Darkness covered the figure inside.
"What the hell is this?" Yue Chaoxi gasped and said.
After a while, there was another clanging sound inside.
This butcher shop is really weird, in the state of unclear circumstances, Yue Chaoxi doesn't want to risk his life, but the entire tricky city is eerie, and there is no shadow of a living person, and now there is a little living movement in this butcher shop, and it is very likely to miss the clue if he leaves like this.
Just as he was in a dilemma, a gentle and crisp girl's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Brother, you're back, why didn't you tell me and your mother in advance."
Yue Zhaoxi turned around, and a young girl not far away was about 16 years old, wearing a light blue dress, looking delicate, like a pearl and a beautiful jade, looking at Yue Zhaoxi with a smile.
"Me, it's your brother?" Yue Zhaoxi pointed to himself and asked.
"yes, you haven't been back for a long time, and my mother and I really want you to come back." The girl said, jumping happily and hugging Yue Chaoxi's arm.
"Brother Lausanne, come home with me." The girl said as she pulled Yue Chaoxi upstairs.
Yue Zhaoxi didn't resist, he knew that now he should enter the main plot of the script killing. But he didn't pay attention, the sound of chopping bones in the butcher shop had long since stopped, and countless pairs of eyes were peeking at Yue Chaoxi from between the iron fences, each of them carrying a weird and dirty big-headed doll.
In the process of pulling upstairs, Yue Zhaoxi listened to the girl telling that her name was Luo Xin, Yue Chaoxi was his elder brother Luosang, and her mother Fang Peiyi moved here with their brothers and sisters 10 years ago, and went to Fang Yaqing, the aunt who married here. Yue Chaoxi's brother Luosang left the strange building to go to the big city, and finally went home today.
"Brother, you have to be quiet. Mom was not feeling well and had not been out of the house for several days. Sister Luo Xin cautiously opened the door and stepped into the room lightly.
This room is small, the kitchen and living room are together, and the two rooms can be seen in the shadow. Dark, small, dirty, Yue Zhaoxi's mind imprinted these words at once, the environment here is even worse than the orphanage.
But what is surprising is that there is a hot casserole claypot rice on the living room table, and the tempting aroma of bacon makes this cold room have a touch of warmth. Yue Chaoxi thought to himself, using this room as a safe house, if he encountered danger in the Strange Tower, he could come here to hide for a while.
Luo Xin turned on the light, pulled Yue Chaoxi into the house, saw the claypot rice in front of the table, smiled and said, "Brother, the claypot rice made by my mother, brother, come and taste it." ”
Yue Zhaoxi didn't want to eat any claypot rice at all, he just wanted to clear the script quickly, but when he saw Luo's innocent smile, he couldn't help but think of his sister Qin Xinrui, who was once in the orphanage, if there was a delicious meal, she would be the first to think of herself.
"yes, okay." Yue Zhaoxi smiled back, and Luo Xin smiled even more happily when he saw it.
But Yue Zhaoxi suddenly thought that Luo Xin said that her mother hadn't been out of the room for several days, so how did this meal come from? Just thinking about Yue Chaoxi, he looked up at the room at the end of the aisle, and was suddenly startled, the door of this room was full of ghost drawings, it didn't look like a room, it was clearly a coffin!
"Luo Xin, how long has it been since you saw your mother?" Yue Chaoxi asked Luo Xin cautiously.
Luo Xin chewed the rice in his mouth, thought for a while, and said: "Well......, it seems that I haven't seen my mother for a month, but every time Luo Xin comes back, I can see the claypot rice made by my mother." ”
Hearing Luo Xin's words, Yue Chaoxi's hairs suddenly stood on end, this good sister is not in the pit, she will see her mother when she comes up.
This room is not only unsafe, but also extremely dangerous, Yue Chaoxi didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed the stupid sister who was eating and walked out. At the same time, the innermost coffin room actually made a strange and harsh sound, as if the nails were scratching the coffin board, and this sound made Yue Chaoxi's headache more and more cracked, and he felt nauseous.
Luo Xin, who was pulling, also vomited, and where she spit out were grains of rice, they were all white maggots.
Continue to stay in this room, waiting for the two of them must be a mortal ending, Yue Chaoxi gritted his teeth and hugged Luo Xin. At this moment, Yue Zhaoxi only felt that the sky was spinning, and his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, if he hadn't run out a few steps in advance, and the room was small, I was afraid that it would have been dry bones in the room at this time.
The moment he walked out of the room, the weird and harsh sound suddenly disappeared, and Yue Chaoxi slammed the door to prevent the things in the coffin room from escaping. Luo Xin's face also softened a lot.
"Mom......, what's wrong? ......" Luo Xin asked worriedly, very weak.
"She's probably been dead for a long time, it's not safe here, do you know where it's safe in this building?" Yue Chaoxi couldn't bear to hurt Luo Xin, but now he couldn't figure it out at all, and the information he had was too little.
"Safe place? By the way, you can go to my aunt's house, she lives on the 7th floor. Luo Xin suddenly realized.
"Good. I went to my aunt's house. Yue Zhaoxi nodded.
Zizi, suddenly the light bulb in the stairwell flickered brightly and dimly, Yue Chaoxi thought to himself, doesn't this script make people rest? He knew something was going to happen.
In the distance of the stairwell, a white-haired old man carrying a lantern suddenly appeared, wearing a big-headed doll mask with a sad face, Yue Chaoxi cautiously asked Luo Xin: "He's not a relative of our family, right?" ”
Luo Xin seemed to see something scary, and said to you tremblingly: "This is Uncle Ma who patrols the building, you can't let him catch it." ”
Patrolling the building? That's not the kind of security guard. Yue Zhaoxi continued to ask, "Then why can't you let him catch it?" ”
Who knows, what Luo Xin said later made Yue Chaoxi suddenly desperate.
"Because, the people who were caught by Uncle Ma are gone!"
