Chapter 4: The key to breaking the game
Looking at the white-haired old man carrying a lantern in the distance, Yue Chaoxi didn't feel a chill in his heart, because what he was most afraid of in the orphanage was patrolling the building, and if he found that he sneaked out during the curfew, he would be beaten badly.
"Luo Xin, no matter what happens, don't let go."
"Hmm. Luo Xin won't let go of his brother's hand. Luo Xin said affirmatively.
Yue Chaoxi pulled Luo Xin towards the stairwell, and looked back at the old man with the lantern from time to time.
Strange to say, Yue Chaoxi looked at the old man with the lantern and obviously didn't move, but every time he turned around, the old man would get closer to a large distance.
Yue Zhaoxi was shocked in his heart, this is too weird, seeing that this old man is getting closer and closer, Yue Zhaoxi suddenly had an idea, could this old man with a lantern be the mechanism of a one-two-three wooden man?
"Luo Xin!" Yue Zhaoxi immediately shouted Luo Xin after thinking about it.
"Huh?"
"You pulled me to run, I've been staring at this uncle now, you are my eyes, my signpost, I believe in you." Yue Zhaoxi said firmly.
At the same time, his eyes stared at the old man with the lantern without blinking, and sure enough, the distance between them slowly widened! This trick really worked, but the surrounding environment couldn't help but make Yue Chaoxi blink, and in the blink of an eye, the old man would close the distance by a large distance.
To make matters worse, the staircase they had to walk up was a zigzag staircase, and there was a poor viewing angle here, so they couldn't keep staring at the old man with the lantern.
As soon as he stepped on the stairs, Yue Chaoxi stepped on the air and fell, and the moment he raised his head, the white lantern was already in front of him, and the old man with the lantern turned out to be a withered body, with sunken eyes, and he couldn't see the bottom of the black hole.
Yue Chaoxi was almost about to faint, but he could feel Luo Xin's soft and warm little hands, struggling to pull him up. Yes, my sister is still working hard, how can I give up. Yue Zhaoxi thought in his heart.
Every corner was a challenge, and the old man was almost close to Yue Zhaoxi's face recently.
4th floor, 5th floor, 6th floor, finally only the last corner!
It's on the 7th floor, and when it comes to the 7th floor, there is only a straight corridor left, but to Yue Chaoxi's surprise, the old man with the lantern didn't chase after him when he reached the 6th floor, and when he got to the 7th floor, the old man was gone.
Yue Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, they finally got rid of this strange old man. But on second thought, could it be that the old man with the lantern was afraid of something? Is there something more terrifying on this 7th floor?
"Brother, drink, drink, we're here." Luo Xin gasped and said.
Yue Zhaoxi didn't dare to relax, still staring at the staircase, and only turned his head to look in front of him when he was sure that the old man would not come again.
The door in front of him is no different from the other doors in the Wei Lou, if there is no Luo Xin, relying on Yue Chaoxi alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to find it for a few days and nights.
Saying that, Luo Xin opened the door and pulled Yue Chaoxi in, this room is much cleaner than the "home" on the 3rd floor, maybe because of the high floor, it is much brighter here.
"Auntie, auntie, I'm Luo Xin, my brother is back!" Luo Xin said happily to the house.
However, Yue Chaoxi clenched Luo Xin's hand and waited for it, ready to pull Luo Xin away at any time if the situation was not good.
"Hey, Luo Xin, what did you say? Lausanne is back? ”
I only heard a bewitching female voice from the back room, and then the door opened, and a beautiful and bewitching pregnant woman walked out, her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm, looking at Luo Xin and Yue Chaoxi, with a smile on her face.
When Yue Zhaoxi saw this "little aunt", she was a little relieved, and said in her heart that she had finally met a normal person.
The beautiful pregnant woman stroked her belly with her hands, let Luo Xin and Yue Zhaoxi sit down and rest, and at the same time poured water for their two children and rolled a large spoonful of honey in the cup.
Luo Xin was very happy to see the honey water, picked up the cup and drank it, but Yue Zhaoxi was observing vigilantly, but seeing the kind expression of this "little aunt", he unconsciously let down his vigilance, he was chased all the way by the old man with the lantern just now, and now his mouth is dry, and the honey water in front of him exudes a sweet taste, which is really irresistible.
Yue Zhaoxi picked up the cup and sipped it carefully, the taste of honey was surprisingly reassuring, this was the first time he had tasted food in the script killing.
"Auntie, when will my brother be born, I've been waiting for a long time." Luo Xin drank the honey water and asked Fang Yaqing with a smile.
The beautiful pregnant woman sat on the chair, bowing her head and stroking her abdomen, Yue Chaoxi couldn't see his expression, but heard her say, "Yes, when will you be born, it's been eighteen months." ”
Yue Zhaoxi squirted out honey water, coughed incessantly, and scolded in his heart, this place is also a pit, how can you be pregnant for eighteen months without giving birth, you should be pregnant with a Nezha.
Before he could complain, Yue Chaoxi felt that the surroundings suddenly became cold, and a chill invaded the bone marrow.
The pale yellow honey water in the cup had now turned red, and at the same time exuded the fishy smell of blood.
"Luo Xin, come with me." Yue Chaoxi pulled Luo Xin to get up.
Luo Xin looked at the aunt who exuded yin energy, her eyes were incredulous, Yue Chaoxi followed her line of sight, and the beautiful pregnant woman just now turned into a dried corpse at a terrifying speed, and there was a deep tear stain on her neck.
Yue Zhaoxi looked at the dried corpse thoughtfully, but he didn't have time to think about it, he quickly pulled Luo Xin out of the door, and then slammed the door on the door.
"Brother, what's wrong with my aunt?" Luo Xin asked incredulously.
Yue Zhaoxi looked at Luo Xin with tears in his eyes, he knew that the "sister" in front of him was actually a character in the script, Luo Xin couldn't understand the horror that happened here, maybe she was also part of this script, but Yue Zhaoxi couldn't give up Luo Xin, because Yue Zhaoxi wanted Luo Xin from the bottom of his heart.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, my brother is coming back to take you out and escape from this terrible place." Yue Zhaoxi said.
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden squeaking sound in the otherwise silent room, like a mouse, but the sound was very harsh and very dense. The door trembled slightly, revealing a gnawing sound that was creepy.
The old wooden door broke a small hole in a short time, the head of the mouse was struggling to drill outward, the blood-red eyes were terrifying, and the terrible cry stung Yue Chaoxi's eardrums.
"Run." Yue Zhaoxi pulled Luo Xin and ran to the stairwell.
Yue Chaoxi thought to himself, there is an old man with a lantern below, and only when he goes up can he have vitality. Looking back, countless rats the size of small arms came out of the door and chased in the direction of Yue Chaoxi.
"Damn, why is this rat so big? Isn't there a nuclear waste water in this building? Yue Zhaoxi said and kicked a big mouse away, but more mutant rats came around.
Suddenly, a mutant rat bit Yue Chaoxi's calf, and the piercing pain reminded him that all this was so real, if they were really overwhelmed by this group of rats, they would definitely die!
Stumbling, all the way to the 11th floor, here has reached the rooftop, the sunlight outside is very dazzling, and the gloomy corridor is completely different, these mutant rats seem to be very afraid of the sun, to the corner of the 10th floor no longer chase, some mutant rats are squeezed into the sun by the rats behind, squeaking miserably.
Yue Zhaoxi pulled Luo Xin and threw himself on the rooftop, the feeling of returning to the sunshine was so good, Yue Zhaoxi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and looked back at the stairwell, in the darkness where the sun could not shine, countless pairs of small eyes shining red were staring at them.
The rooftop of the building is like a big garbage dump, with all kinds of discarded furniture, broken cabinets, broken tables, dismantled bicycles, and so on. But here is also the most open vision, from here you can see the whole piece of the treacherous building, the height is staggered, dense, the corridor in the treacherous building is like a maze, but from the top of the building, it is not difficult to find that the treacherous building has a regular formation of a hollow-shaped tube building.
The periphery of the tower is a mountain forest, and there is only one building, which is in line with the script setting of the mountain building and the realm in the world. Yue Chaoxi thought to himself, that should be the boundary of the map, and the rooftop is likely to be the safe area of the script.
"Luo Xin, can you tell me what the hell is going on here?" Yue Zhaoxi looked around to make sure that there was no longer any danger, and then asked this "sister".
"Brother, I don't know, it's always been like this here, and it's not normal since my brother came back." Luo Xin said.
Luo Xin's blue dress was bitten by a mouse, her eyes were full of sadness when she looked at the skirt, this is Luo Xin's best dress, but when Luo Xin saw the wound on Yue Chaoxi's leg, she tore off a piece of the skirt without thinking and bandaged Yue Chaoxi.
"Thank you Luo Xin, I don't care."
Although Yue Zhaoxi was bitten by a rat, he couldn't bear to tear his skirt even more, he knew how important a skirt was to a poor girl. Yue Zhaoxi thought of the time in the orphanage, her sister Qin Xinrui only had one skirt for more than ten years, and she was determined to make money to buy a new skirt for her sister when she grew up, and now, she is plagued by illness, and only herself is her only hope.
"It's all bleeding, it doesn't matter." Luo Xin carefully bandaged Yue Chaoxi's wounds.
In an instant, Luo Xin's appearance coincided with Qin Xinrui, Yue Zhaoxi shook his head, and the two shadows separated again, he is now in the script, and there are still people waiting for him in reality.
Yue Chaoxi closed his eyes to the sun and rearranged his thoughts. This time, the script kills "The Strange Tower in the Mountains", and the mission goal is to discover the truth about the Strange Tower, which is too vague from the perspective of the task.
Now the script time displayed in the app is still 19:59:59. Only 4 hours later, there is still plenty of time. Yue Zhaoxi estimated in his heart.
Then look for clues from the introduction, the strange events he has encountered now, the smiling butcher, the coffin girl, the old man with the lantern, the pregnant woman with Nezha, these have all been encountered, and the grandmother and the shaved uncle of the paper-binding man have not encountered it, so what is the relationship between these people?
Yue Zhaoxi is Luosang, Luo Xin's brother in the script, their mother is Fang Peiyi, and the aunt who married a long time ago, the mother and aunt are dead, so investigating the cause of their death is likely to be the key to breaking the game.
"Rossin."
"Huh?"
"Let me change the question, have you noticed anything unusual about my aunt recently?"
"Well...... brother mentioned it, it seems that there really is!"
