Chapter 9: The Backrooms and the Commoners and the Sacrifice

"Hey! What a place this is! She pulled out the gun from her waist and aimed it at the only living person in the area.

"Where they hurt people."

"What the hell is this place!"

He looked at Jiang Wan, and his face looked natural; Even as he watched the other hand point at the barrel of his gun, he was still so natural, he was there searching for something.

"What the hell is this?!"

She roared, but the volume was visibly suppressed.

She clenched her teeth, and Chen Qing could clearly see her lips trembling.

"This is the Backrooms."

"Where's the Backrooms?!"

"It's where they kill people."

"Them?"

"Didn't you see that?"

He lifted his eyelids, his gaze on a mark on the armrest.

The markers are triangular and slightly extended in one place.

Next to the mark, there were scratches from human fingernails, blood in them, but nothing new.

He said to himself, "Once upon a time...... I've been here. ”

"You! Do you know what's going to happen here?! ”

Chen Qing shook his head.

"Have you seen it...... Or ever heard of an urban legend? ”

She hesitated, then pointed her gun downward.

"Rip girl, black cat granny or something.

It can also be the Five Constant Immortals, the Mountain Spirit Temple.

Or those 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, you line up in the school building, walk inside every five minutes, and when you get to the bathroom, you find that you have come to another world. ”

A chill ran through her heart, and then uneasiness welled up.

"I've heard of it, but those things!" She wanted to say how it could be, but she looked at everything in front of her and hesitated.

"That's where it is."

He looked at Jiang Wan, and his expression became solemn: "But logically speaking...... This kind of place shouldn't be so easy to get into. ”

"I don't care if it's easy to get into...... With so many dead here, it's more than we agreed. ”

Jiang Wan shook her head, and the pistol in her hand was put into the holster; She was about to regret it, but looking at Chen Qing's indifferent expression, it made her feel uneasy.

"There's no signal here."

She pulled the walkie-talkie out of her pocket, but the blind voice reminded her that the man was right.

Chen Qing smiled: "There are no satellites and radio stations, how can there be a signal." ”

"I'm getting out of here." She looked at Chen Qing, but the young man's reply was still indifferent and shook his head.

"It's not that easy to leave. The other world in the story, don't all the conditions have to be met before you can leave? ”

He looked at the "tree" in front of him full of corpses, and asked Jiang Wan, "Will you do an autopsy?" ”

Her face turned pale and she shook her head: "We...... I...... Not many corpses were touched. ”

"Understood." He turned on the flashlight, his eyes searched for something below the waistline, he searched for a moment, and Jiang Wan's expression relaxed a little.

She looked up, and then she had time to look at the place.

Behind the two of them, at the end of the stairs hundreds of meters was a fog, which had not been there earlier, and it was also chilling to watch.

She walked up step by step, and when she reached the end of the stairs, a piercing pain came over her. She gritted her teeth and tried to take a few more steps, but the pain that followed stopped her.

Jiang Wan didn't try again, but returned to the hall at the bottom of the building.

The tree was still there, hundreds of corpses wrapped in bondage clothing, and they pointed to several open doors, which were empty, at least not yet.

She walked to Chen Qing's side, the young man's expression was much more restrained, she thought that this child who was not in line with his age would be as plain as ever.

But what she didn't know was that everything Chen Qing found was too contrary to normal.

He shook off the dust in his hands and handed a piece of paper to Jiang Wan to read.

On that piece of paper, it was written.

"The living, alive. Let the dead die as the living. He who longs to live will eventually be turned into blood. The pursuit of the alive is crowned with a sleepless wail. ”

She was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

"I don't really understand...... What did he say? ”

Chen Qing shook his head: "The Backroom is a very special thing...... Someone has been here before, and they'll leave you with a few clues. Come to think of it, this note might save our lives. ”

He muttered, looking up at the hall in front of him.

In the round-vaulted back room, there were doors on the walls around them, and the inside of the doors was very dark, and on the doors, the wooden door frame was covered with scratches, which looked like fingertips, and like the marks left by some kind of animal.

He frowned, counting from left to right, there were four in total.

"Shall we go separately?"

"What nerves do you have?"

"Forget it."

Jiang Wan frowned, she looked at the young man in front of her, and always felt that the other party had a big problem.

He wants to leave me? What does he want to do, that he thinks he can live?

She touched the pistol at her waist, and the uneasiness in her heart decreased.

"Let's go, first door."

Following the sound, Jiang Wan trotted for a while and ran to Chen Qing's side.

She tried to say something threatening, but before she could say anything, a creaking sound behind her made her shut up.

The voices fell to the ground like quicksand, and they fell, but it seemed like a human figure, and the voices squirmed little by little, gathering somewhere in the hall.

Immediately after, the sound became viscous, it seemed to stick to something, and the sound in the room became a cacophony of liquid flowing, not like a clear spring, but like some kind of viscous solution.

The two glanced at each other, and the girl's muzzle was already aimed at the source of the sound.

They looked at the place, but only a human figure could be faintly seen in the darkness.

As they walked forward, the voice became clearer.

But when they got to the "man", all they saw were broken bones and a large pool of gelatinous blood.

They saw as the falling bones were adhered to by the blood, and the fragments of broken bones were interspersed with the solution.

When their hearts were filled with disgust, and their steps stepped back slightly, the lump of blood took shape.

The bones became the rare weapons of the bloody mass, and the half-meter-long leg bones were broken off and the tips were pointed outward.

"Slime?"

Chen Qing's face was a little better, the visual impact of this thing was much lower than what he had seen before.

Although its body is covered with human bones, it seems to be constantly expanding in size.

He patted Jiang Wan's hand and motioned for her to take the pistol back.

"Let's go."

"Whatever it is?" She frowned.

"Are you sure you can kill it with one shot? I don't even know what it is. People don't bite you, so let's go. ”

Chen Qing shrugged his shoulders and had already quickened his pace and walked into the center of the first door.

Once inside, the creature under the tree faded silent.

Inside the door, a faint light was on.

Inside the door, a miniature hall was presented in front of the two of them, with a space of more than 30 square meters, full of instruments and equipment, and a medical bed for the patient.

On that bed, the dirty black solution soaked through the futon and blackened what should have been blue.

He stepped forward quickly, straightening the man's face and carefully identifying it.

"Hey! What are you doing! He's alive! ”

"I'm not blind."

He frowned, the man's face was already thin, but from his facial bones, Chen Qing still recognized his identity.

"Are you...... Mr. Sun Zhengyang? ”

Chen Qing frowned, as if he was not ready to wait for his response. And Jiang Wan rushed up, pushed Chen Qing's hand away, glared at him, and began to check the other party's physical function.

But she looked at the person who was currently emaciated, and her face became more and more gloomy: "No...... No more. ”

"What's wrong? You want to say that he only has one breath left now, right? Chen Qing didn't look back, walked to the edge of this bed, and began to tinker with something.

She looked back and glared, but her tone seemed to be more stunned and puzzled: "You know?! ”

The source of that emotion was quite complicated, she had never seen a person who could accept the death of her fellow clan so calmly, who could announce the death of the other party so calmly.

He was too calm.

"Nonsense, you look at the values on the instrument yourself, his heart rate is almost lower than my sanity, he is still alive?"

Chen Qing bent down to check, but there was a sudden light in his eyes: "I want to live...... Wailing all night......"

He turned his head and looked at the patient on the bed.

"But he's fainting at the moment, will he really be in pain?"

Chen Qing thought about it, he always felt that he was missing something.

"He's one of the entities in this Backroom? Or have you survived to this day, a victim who was caught? ”

Chen Qing didn't have time to think about it before the voice at the entrance interrupted his thoughts.

That voice is footsteps, and there can be no mistake.

The footsteps of that dun dun should be held at a weight of 250 pounds or more, and the height is not high.

His face changed suddenly, and Jiang Wan's reaction was quite fast, but just when the words in her mouth just spit out the first word, Chen Qing had already covered her mouth.

"Lift...... Not...... Not! ”

She didn't even have time to struggle, Chen Qing had already dragged her body and rolled under the bed with her.

Beneath the stenching, dripping black solution.

The calmness in the hearts of the two finally got out of control.

They saw the comer, they saw the creature that had bowed its head and squeezed through the door.

The creature with extremely swollen limbs and a ball-like body, but able to move normally.

It had no face, or rather its face was soaked, and it walked to the bed, blood spilled from its feet from its weight.

It walked to the side of the bed and grabbed Sun Zhengyang's arm with both hands, followed by a click, and the hand was torn off from the middle of the joint.

But he didn't scream.

He was still asleep.

It broke his knees, he was silent, it broke his spine, he just gasped.

It left, carrying four toy-like bones in its hand, but only the length of its palm.

"No...... That's not right. Chen Qing frowned, the information on the note didn't seem right.

"But it's impossible......" he muttered, Jiang Wan was a little puzzled: "Why can't you make a mistake, can't the person who wrote the note be a god?" ”

"He can walk out with the information on the slip of paper."

"Maybe he just thought he could get out? As a result, he died after writing? ”

Chen Qing glanced at her, but did not continue to explain.

He shook his head, and the two of them returned to the bed from under the bed.

But looking at the people on the bed, Chen Qing was a little stunned.

"His limbs that had just been broken...... I guess it starts with the joints. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw it.

The blood that flowed from the corners of the man's eyes, the empty mouth of the man, the scar that he tore and grew at the corners of his mouth.

He heard a hellish wail of despair, slowly coming out of Sun Zhengyang's throat.

He knew that the pain caused by the original injury could be used to, but the fear and pain brought by the recovery; Pessimism and despair about the future.

are far more than the physical torture countless times.
