44 Strange Cottage III

"Don't run!"

"Be careful!"

The voices of the donkey and Wen Renjing sounded almost at the same time, and Wen Renjing saw the donkey chasing out of the room, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes while being nervous. Saying that it was too late, he picked up the vase next to him and threw it out vigorously.

Yan Yueming only saw the vase flying over his head, and subconsciously shortened his body. Li Zheng immediately pulled him and quickly hid in the room where Wen Renjing came out, and Wen Renjing followed.

"Bang!" The door is closed.

Both Yan Yueming and Wen Renjing breathed a sigh of relief, and in the corridor outside the door, the vase was avoided, but it was still collapsed by the broken porcelain pieces of the vase.

He stood in a pile of broken porcelain, and he didn't chase anymore, he didn't laugh angrily.

"Ahem, ahem......" laughed as if choked on his own laughter, propped up the wall with one hand, bent over slightly, and took off his mask with the other. The black mask was clutched in his hand, and his palm was stained with a hint of red blood.

Of course, this blood came from himself.

"The human body is really fragile...... "The donkey who took off his mask turned pale and the corners of his lips were bleeding. But compared to just now, he had less of a gloomy and arrogant aura, more bewitching and careless, as if the aura of the whole person had suddenly become restrained.

"Very good, it's good to be here." He wiped the blood from his lips, bent down to pick up the hat that had fallen to the ground, and muttered to himself, "You can be a companion, can't you......"

After speaking, he glanced at the closed door, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned to go downstairs. On the wall at the corner of the staircase hung many irregularly shaped black clocks, which showed that it was 19:27 p.m.

At the same time, inside the room.

Yan Yueming didn't hear any more movement outside, and breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little frightened, and asked in a low voice, "He's gone?" ”

Wen Renjing listened carefully to the door panel, and said: "The rule that he can't take the initiative to enter the house is still in effect, don't worry, it's safe for the time being." ”

Yan Yueming was in the mood to look at the furnishings in the house, and found that this room was similar to the one she had just stayed, both bedrooms, but different in decoration.

He couldn't help but ask, "How did you get here?" ”

Wen Renjing mentioned this, and his face was filled with righteous indignation, "It's too insidious, I obviously burned all those dolls, who knew that when the fluctuation moment came, the dolls actually appeared at the head of the bed again, and those spells also resurfaced." I hadn't slept at that time, so I hurried to look for you, and I saw that the senior was already in your room. ”

Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng again, and Li Zheng asked Wen Renjing: "Do you really think that you destroyed those things?" ”

Smell the scene of the moment is the right color.

Li Zheng raised his eyes slightly to look at him, his eyes were cold, and the feeling of oppression came immediately, "Did the teacher talk to you about your face-to-face life, this is a contest at the level of consciousness, your eyes will deceive you, your brain will deceive you, how can you be sure that what you see is the truth?" ”

Yan Yueming was a little dizzy when she heard this, and seeing Wen Renjing's annoyed and frustrated look, he hurriedly said, "Then how did I fall here?" Is it because of those dolls and spells? ”

"Why can't you just take the things out of the gaps?" Li Zheng threw out a question in turn, and then looked at Wen Renjing, his voice was so cold that he could drop slag, "You say." ”

"Ahem." Wen Renjing immediately looked at Yan Yueming and made an honest appearance, "Because these things may allow you to have some kind of connection with the world in the gap, which will cause you to fall into it, especially when the moment of fluctuation comes and the rules change." ”

Yan Yueming actively cooperated, "In other words, there were no gaps in the house, but because of those dolls and spells, we have a certain connection with this place, so it is possible to fall in?" ”

"Yes, that's it. I was careless, I should have just let the search and rescue team deal with this stuff. Wen Renjing was annoyed, but he also calmly admitted his mistake.

"And where is this? Strange huts? Yan Yueming said his speculation.

Wen Renjing: "This is it. When we found out you were missing, we immediately went back to our respective rooms and fell in like you not long after lying down. I'm in this room, and the senior is upstairs, which is the third floor. ”

Yan Yueming instantly remembered the situation when Li Zheng broke in through the window, "So senior, you came down from the upstairs window?" ”

Li Zheng nodded, and then looked at Wen Renjing again, "Use the fastest speed to let him remember the rules here." ”

Hearing that people and Jing Ma slipped away, this began to give Yan Yueming popular science.

"Strange Cottage Entry and Exit Instructions"

1: Do not have physical contact with the doll, and do not look directly into the doll's eyes for more than 3 seconds. If you're unlucky, find a way to destroy the doll and leave.

2: Any room, you must knock on the door when entering, including the toilet. If the door doesn't open, it means refusal, don't go in.

3: Don't eat anything here.

4: The alarm goes off at 7 p.m. and 4 a.m., which is the time for the doll to go to bed, which is relatively safe.

5: Don't leave your name anywhere in the house.

6: If you stay, no one calls your name, don't answer.

7: You are not a doll, and no part of you can be disassembled at will.

8: There's not a single doll named Ondin here.

Yan Yueming memorized all the rules with her heart, and kept asking her own questions during the period, "I just felt rusty about the joints, just because I violated the first article?" Then the senior stabbed the puppet in the eye with a knife, and that's it? ”

Wen Renjing pondered for a moment, "It should be." ”

Yan Yueming thought thoughtfully, and then thought of the second one. He used to think that this rule should not open the door, but now he finds that there is a problem with the angle he is substituting.

It's not that you can't open the door, but you can't enter. It is this rule that stops the donkey.

This creates a new problem

, a question that Yan Yueming ignored -

"If we break the rules, we will attract the invasion of world consciousness, so what about foul play? Isn't he the embodiment of world consciousness and beats himself up? Yan Yueming asked.

"Of course not, the price of his breaking the rules is very simple, that is, he will be weakened. Do you play games? Suppose he has 100 points at full health, then once he violates the rules, the corresponding points will be deducted. But if you break the rules first, then he can take advantage of the loophole at the moment when the rules are broken, catch you, and come to you, and you can treat this behavior as a bug. ”

Hearing Renjing say this, Yan Yueming instantly understood, and understood thoroughly, "Then he is a sinister bug!" ”

Li Zheng, as an elegant mature man who never plays games, has no comment on the expressions of these young people. What made him care was the reaction of the bird in Yan Yueming's description.

"You say, the bird snapped his fingers and manipulated the puppet to attack you, but he didn't open the door?"

Yan Yueming didn't know why, "That's right." ”

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes, "These things in the cracks are all products of being recreated by the world consciousness after death, and theoretically, as the embodiment of the world consciousness, the duck can control them to a certain extent." However, he has already been injured twice in the real world, and this manipulation also consumes his energy. ”

Yan Yueming came back to her senses, "What does the senior mean...... He chose the former between consuming energy to manipulate the puppet and actively violating the rules? Because the cost of non-compliance is greater? ”

Wen Renjing also reacted, Chengnan Xiao Zhuge 's eyes flashed with wisdom, touched his chin and said: "The donkey has lost one after another, his anger value should have been full, if he wants to kill you, then for you to violate the rules of opening the door once, with his strength, it stands to reason that it is not a big problem, but he didn't do that." So...... Is it that the rules have tightened his restrictions? ”

"Nope." Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Maybe it's the other way around, it's him who has become weaker." ”

Wen Renjing thought about it for a while, and a guess suddenly popped up in his heart, "Because the active period is early?!" ”

Yan Yueming continued to diverge her thinking and boldly speculated: "What about going further? In fact, the world consciousness has weakened? So the active period was advanced, resulting in the lack of ability to accumulate enough strength, and the strength was damaged? ”

Wen Jingjing's eyes were full of brilliance, "If that's the case, that's great." ”

At the end of the day, this is just speculation, and they don't have conclusive evidence yet.

The three of them said these things, in fact, it was only about ten minutes. Yan Yueming listened attentively to the movement outside again, then looked at the slight bulge on the bed, and said, "Then what should we do now?" Jumping out of a window? ”

Since the senior can smash the window to save him, the act of breaking the window must be relatively safe.

Li Zheng said: "It's okay to break the window, but it can't fall to the ground." ”

Wen Renjing then explained: "I forgot to tell you this just now, the rules are restricted, jumping out of the window and landing on the ground will definitely break your arms and legs, and then the part you break will becomeβ€”β€”"

He didn't say the second half, but he glanced at the bulge on the bed. Combined with Article 7 of the Rules, the meaning is self-explanatory.

Yan Yueming asked dryly, "The ...... on the bed Have you seen it? ”

Wen Ren Jing Waner, "It's a zombie doll, I suggest you don't look at it." ”

Yan Yueming is very obedient, saying that if she doesn't look at it, she won't watch it, and she will never bury her life because of curiosity. Then he remembered another thing, "Is there a notice posted on the door of the strange hut?" Such weird rules, there is a high probability that ordinary people will not dare to come in when they see it, not to mention that it is the first time to enter the gap, why did the family of three enter last time? ”

After coming in, they also fouled. Although children can't remember things, and it's normal to see dolls touching around, but now that I think about it, it's weird everywhere.

Li Zheng has no answer to this question. After the family of three was handed over to the Search and Rescue Department last time, it was a follow-up issue dealt with by the Search and Rescue Department, and he didn't ask again.

"Normally, there are rules for entering and exiting the hut, at least the last time I visited." Li Zheng walked to the window, lifted the curtain and looked out.

Of course, you can't see the main entrance from here, it's dark at the moment, it's pitch black outside, and the visibility is less than ten meters. The whole strange cottage has three floors and an attic, and the shape is like a Gothic castle, standing alone.

"If there's a problem with the doorway, there's a big problem with the Strange Hut." Wen Renjing muttered.

Yan Yueming immediately thought of the wanderers at No. 11 Silent Block, those charcoal notes, and the definition of "wanderer" that Li Zheng had said.

[People who strayed into the gap are collectively referred to as wanderers.] People have good and evil, so they cannot believe all the marks they leave behind. 】

At this moment, the sound of melodious music suddenly came from downstairs. It was the sound of an old gramophone, with a slight noise, staggered with the taste of time.

Yan Yueming asked in a low voice, "Is it a duck?" ”

Neither senior answered, because no one could be sure. Wen Renjing frowned slightly, "I suspect that all the exits to the strange hut may be blocked by him now, and he can't get in, but we can't get out either." ”

Yan Yueming: "Then won't we be trapped here?" ”

The most important thing is that he didn't bring anything to eat!

Li Zheng didn't speak, his calm eyes swept over the furnishings in the room, and suddenly, he walked to the dresser. In Yan Yueming's room, there is a makeup box and tea set on the dresser, and there are books, paper and pen on the dresser here.

When I opened the book, there was handwritten text on the title page of one of the books.

[There's a man dead here.]

She said she loves zombies and horror movies

And also

Ondin is coming back

Run]

Yan Yueming was a little excited, because he recognized the words on it, it was exactly the same as the note found under the bed in Room 9 in the Silent Neighborhood.

"It's the Wanderer from Number 11!"
