Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] v. 14
After seeing the bad state of his glasses, he finally realized that the current situation was not optimistic.
He gasped and reacted to how dangerous the scene just now was, "Yuan Yuxue, I'll go later...... Yuan Desire Snow! ”
The tone of the black skin rose sharply, with a hint of panic. He tried to enter the movie one step ahead of Yuan Yuxue, but in the faint light, the pair of staring white fingertips had already touched the play button.
Yuan Yuxue once again entered the movie.
This time, the timing is too dangerous, unlike the previous substitution, there is no chance of trial and error. The moment the object in front of her shook, Yuan Xuxue's waist bent back a little, dodging the fishy wind blowing in front of her, and with this action, her legs were fierce, and she kicked "Mom" violently, kicking her a little farther.
The most recent "weapon" you can touch is the concave lens that shattered the lens of your previous glasses and fell to the ground. It was a very thin irregular lens, and it was also very small, but Yuan Yuxue found it very quickly, and by bending over, she picked it up into her palm, pinched the lens, and nailed it into her throat when "Mom" approached again.
The lenses did not have a safe point of focus, and the sharp corners cut through the neck of "Mom", firmly nailed inside, and at the same time, they also fell into Yuan Yuxue's soft fingertips in reverse, cutting out small wounds that were disorderly. Almost immediately, the blood soaked the lenses and dripped down the narrow sharp weapon onto the woman's neck.
"Ho-"
She seemed to be in a thousand times the agony, and struggled violently, but was pinned to the spot by the small piece of lens. Yuan Yuxue leaned down to look at her, her gaze was extremely cold and calm, just like the evaluation that his human collaborators would give him every time he performed a mission before.
Humanoid weapons without emotion.
But now the onlookers outside the movie screen didn't notice that his cold gaze without a trace of popularity all fell on his blood-drenched fingers that had been cut to facilitate the application of force.
The hands with slender joints and very beautiful births could not find a good piece of flesh at this time.
It hurts too much to watch.
The black-skinned lips tightened into a line.
Perhaps it was the consumption of the talent of glasses before, the woman became extremely weak, and the counterattack just now was just the last struggle similar to the return to the light, she was actually nailed to the spot like this, and the ghost qi dissipated, turning into a corpse without moving.
"Mom" closed her eyes.
Her cheeks were still horribly thin, and she looked terrifying, but she barely had human features and shape.
Yuan Yuxue gasped slightly.
The energy consumption just now was a drastic burden on Yuan Yuxue, who had already bottomed out his energy, and this burden was even directly fed back to his physical functions.
In a state of low energy, for robots, it is like a human being infected with a virus, fever and cold, not fatal, but it will be a little "uncomfortable".
Yuan Yuxue rested in place for a while.
This scene is watched by people outside the screen.
They also knew that Yuan Yuxue was uncomfortable.
- He was originally a newcomer, he had been injured, and his body was still in a very weak state. And the fight just now was too expensive for him, and the continuous mission game was difficult for even an old player to slow down.
He needs to rest.
Heipi panicked in his heart, forgot the seven-minute protection time setting, and kept clicking the pause button, hoping to replace Yuan Yuxue as soon as possible.
And the glasses that were relieved from retching, the corners of their eyes were wet with tears forced out, and they looked at Yuan Yuxue in a haze.
Separated by screens, one inside and one outside.
The person who was originally in the movie at this time should be him.
The corners of the lips of the glasses were also imperceptibly pursed, and the face became more and more difficult to look at, falling into a kind of self-condemnation circle.
Yuan Yuxue also just rested for a while.
He quickly stood up and locked the basement door to prevent the mutilated "dads" from crawling out to mend the knife.
After a pause, he moved "Mom" back to the bed in the bedroom.
The "movie" is over, and their game still has to go on. Yuan Yuxue calculated the time and began to look through the clues in the bedroom.
Chapter 14: Tricky Game
This behavior is entirely derived from Yuan Yuxue's habits when he used to perform tasks.
Robots don't get tired and aren't allowed to stop, so Yuan Yuxue rarely gives herself time to rest, and always seems to be constantly running the function - so as not to miss some subtle clues.
The house still exudes a damp and dilapidated smell, as if the dust that has accumulated for a long time has been blown away and rediscovered, with a sense of decay and obsolescence. Perhaps because the ghosts were gone, the gloom that had always hung over the roof had dissipated a lot, and it looked like it was just an ordinary house.
Except for the fact that the basement was littered with countless corpses.
The study and the second bedroom where Yuan Yuxue is have been inspected. Now Yuan Yuxue is going to the master bedroom position.
The master bedroom wasn't much bigger than the second, with an old-fashioned desktop TV with mottled wallpaper, yellowed walls, and water stains and slightly cracked cracks on the top half. Yuan Yuxue found a wooden table dresser, which was an item that clearly belonged to "Mom".
He carefully rummaged through them, and found an item that didn't fit in with them.
A translated version of the foreign collection.
The name is "Monkey Claw", a very short story, and Yuan Yuxue quickly entered it into the database.
The content of the story can be summarized as a couple who get a monkey's paw and can make three wishes, but all three wishes bring terrible misfortune.
It looks very much like a fable of horror.
The second item of value found was Mom's diary. Yuan Yuxue flipped it open with her blood-soaked hand.
It is not written every day, but every few days.
Sometimes I complain that prices are soaring now, and I can't afford to pay a few catties of meat; Sometimes I was jealous to hear the wife next door seemingly talking about what prize her son had received, while her child was still loitering at home. These fragmentary records of life, suddenly, stopped for a long time.
The time recorded in the next article has jumped to two months later.
The handwriting of "Mom" was crooked, different from the previous flat handwriting, and the force was so strong that it cut through the paper, and the surface of the paper was raised because of it.
"I regret it, he hit me again."
It was written in the diary.
She had no family and married her current husband after graduating from college. It was supposed to be a makeless, imperfect marriage that lasted on thin ice for twenty years.
In the past, her husband had a faint tendency towards domestic violence, and after waking up, he knelt down and cried to her, promising to revise it many times. After they had children, it did seem to have been corrected, and they made do with it until now, until the economic downturn in the past few years, the husband's career was frustrated, and the fierce side of his temper was exposed. He began to drink heavily, cheat, and commit domestic violence again, threatening her that she would not be allowed to divorce, otherwise he would kill the child and then kill her if he had nothing.
She spent a long time in this muddy nightmare. The words in the diary are becoming more and more extreme, and more and more blood is being revealed.
She wanted to die, to end her miserable days. But the day after the suicide note, she suddenly calmed down, or rather, more like crazy...... The woman said she was given a "monkey paw".
A monkey's paw that is rumored to be used to make wishes.
She was really not a very ambitious woman, and after thinking about it, she made a wish.
"I want to have a happy home and a husband who loves me."
The next day, however, her husband continued to drink heavily and beat her, but nothing changed.
She dragged her bruises to cook, and heard the man's angry shouting from the living room—he seemed to have accidentally spilled the hot soup on his body, and was yelling for the woman to bring him scald medicine.
The woman put down the pot in her hand, but what she smelled was a strange fragrance wafting out after the skin and flesh were burned.
The smell quickly made her feel hungry.
I'm so hungry.
Something had never been before, flooding up from her stomach, like a hunger that was about to swallow her up.
She walked out and bit the man's burned hand as he waved his hand.
……
She ate him.
After a brief period of hunger was satisfied, the woman who came to her senses collapsed incomparably. She felt like she had turned into a terrifying monster.
She dragged the gnawed corpse into the basement and locked the wooden door, almost at the same moment, a loud banging on the door came from outside.
The man cursed her in an irritated tone.
"Hurry up and open the door!"
The man she ate is back.
Monkeypaw, in another way, grants her wish.
She will welcome a new husband every day. Until the wish comes true and a husband who loves her appears.
Until then, she will always be in a happy family.
……
Yuan Yuxue closed the diary.
"Mom" was human before this. And she became a monster, perhaps from eating her first husband, or from making a wish with a monkey's paw.
Her diary also mentions her children before, referring to them with the word "baby". And after Monkeypaw appeared, the word disappeared from her diary.
It is believed to be dead, but the exact time cannot be determined.
At an early age, the family became too broken to hide.
Yuan Yuxue recorded the keyword "monkey claw" into the data, he thought of something, hesitated slightly, did not take the diary away, but restored it to its original position, and closed the drawer of the dresser.
Seven minutes of protection time passed.
The pause button that Heipi kept clicking finally worked, and he looked at Yuan Yuxue who reappeared in him, and his emotions only briefly relaxed for two seconds-
The newlyweds' exposed neck revealed a pale, almost weak color, and it was not difficult to imagine how ugly his face would be under that mask. And it is even more difficult for the black skin's gaze not to stop on the fingers of the other party's right hand.
Countless wounds of different depths were wound around Yuan Yuxue's knuckles like red threads. His fingers hung loosely, and the congealed blood rolled down his fingertips like droplets.
One drop, two drops.
Heipi stretched out his hand to catch the drop of blood, as if he had been burned, his palm trembled violently, and his throat was dry: "Does it hurt?" ”
"I don't have a non-binding red medicine ......" his voice was dazed, with some kind of emotion that the robot couldn't understand.
Yuan Yuxue shook her head as she should.
He doesn't hurt.
So now Yuan Yuxue, her eyes are still on the beating movie countdown, and she said very calmly, "I'm going to go in-"
"You need to rest." His words were interrupted for a moment, and it was the glasses standing in front of him, his lips tensed and he spoke, and his emotions seemed to be unstable.
The glasses strode to Yuan Yuxue's side, and when they passed by, they just stuffed something into Heipi's hand, then pressed their hands on the play button, and re-entered the movie without saying a word.
Heipi looked at the red medicine in his hand, and he didn't care what the glasses meant by giving him this. The solemn look on his face relaxed, and he pressed Yuan Yuxue's shoulder to let him sit on the sofa, and then very nervously picked up the hand that was originally very beautiful and flawless, leaned on it with one of his hands, lifted it a little, and sprinkled all the red medicine on the thin and deep wound that had been cut.
