Chapter 14: Puzzle Pieces
When they got back on the unmanned bus, Ning Qiushui and the others were really relieved.
"We ...... We survived, didn't we? ”
Liu Chengfeng, the bearded man, gasped, and looked at the terrifying slender female ghost in the distance through the car window glass after entering the villa, only to realize that his legs were as weak as mud.
"Yes."
Ning Qiushui replied.
Then, neither of them spoke again.
After five days, the bus originally carried 7 people, but now only 2 people remain.
Liu Chengfeng felt that there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
He didn't have much affection for the others, but seeing them die so miserably in front of him, he inevitably felt a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Because, too, he was once so close to death.
If it weren't for Ning Qiushui, his fate would probably be the same as everyone else.
Soon after the two got on the bus, the bus closed the door and drove slowly.
Soon, they were walking through the rain again into the fog.
The two of them were dazed and fell asleep in the car.
When they woke up again, it was already early the next morning.
Ning Qiushui twisted his stiff body and looked out of the car.
They had already reached the small courtyard of the black villa.
"Hey, beard, wake up."
Ning Qiushui shaved Liu Chengfeng, who was agitated and shouted:
"Ghosts! The ghost is coming! ”
"Run!"
Ning Qiushui looked at Liu Chengfeng who was dancing with teeth and claws speechlessly, thinking that this guy was really miserable, even if he was chased and killed by a ghost in the Blood Gate mission, he would have to 'work overtime' in his dream.
After confirming that the person next to him was Ning Qiushui, Liu Chengfeng wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a pant:
"Little brother, you're scared to death!"
Ning Qiushui pointed to the small black courtyard outside and said:
"Get out of the car, we're here."
The two got out of the car one after the other and walked into the black villa.
When they re-entered the hall, they saw that there was only one person left.
It's that very beautiful boy.
He looked like a porcelain doll, with white skin and red skin, and his body was petite and thin, and if he didn't speak, almost no one would have thought that he would be a boy.
"Why are you alone?"
Liu Chengfeng frowned.
Seeing the two of them come back alive from behind the blood gate, the young man's attitude was obviously much warmer than before.
"Uncle Yan has something to deal with, go back to the previous world, Sister Xiaoxiao went to take the newcomer through the blood gate, and one is cooking in the kitchen."
Ning Qiu's eyes flickered.
"Can we go back to the world we used to be?"
The boy fiddled with the coals in the stove.
"Why not?"
"If you can come by bus, you can naturally take the bus back."
"Alas......"
As he spoke, he sighed and rubbed his long hair with his hand.
"I hate this part the most, every time a new person comes, I have to explain a lot of things, and my mouth is dry...... What's even worse is that sometimes the rules are told to them today, and the next week they die. ”
"But you guys have come out of the blood gate alive, if there is anything you want to ask, hurry up and ask now."
The two looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, Ning Qiushui said:
"What's going on with the Bloodgate and the Mist?"
Juvenile Road:
"It's a curse."
"We are all cursed people, the fog is a separate world, separate from the outside world, and you can only enter and leave by taking the bus in the fog world."
"The courtyard of the villa where we are located is called the Trick House, like ours, there are many tricks in this foggy world, and in the same way, there are also many blood gates."
"Every once in a while, we have to enter the terrifying world behind the blood gate, to complete the tasks on the blood gate, and to do our best to survive while collecting as many puzzle pieces as possible."
"When we have 12 pieces of the puzzle, we will be able to take the complete puzzle pieces and take the bus to the end of the Misty World."
The boy said, gesturing to a picture frame above the hall.
The two of them saw that half of the frame had been put together.
On the portrait, it is presumably a rotting human head.
There is also a bloody hole on the forehead that looks like an eye, which looks very hideous!
"What's the end of the Misty World?"
Ning Qiushui asked, and the young man shrugged his shoulders.
"Then I don't know."
"None of us have been to that place after all."
"Also, don't blame us for being too cold...... After all, you also know that death is commonplace in this world, and if you really make a close friend, and he dies in the world behind the blood gate, you will definitely feel very sad. ”
When the boy said this, his expression was a little depressed.
"Wasn't it ...... before?"
Ning Qiushui seemed to understand something, but before he could fully ask, he saw the young man nodding.
"Just before you came, about half a month or so, Uncle Yan's best friend, Uncle Bi...... Died behind the bloody door. ”
And Sister Xiaoxiao's best friend, Gardenia...... also followed the martyrdom. ”
"So in fact, everyone is not in a good mood."
The two of them recalled that when they first entered the Secret House, the heavy atmosphere in the hall at that time could be understood for a while.
"Okay, it's time to eat, after eating, if you don't want to stay in this place, you can go to the stop sign outside the villa and wait for the bus."
"When it's time for you to enter the Blood Gate for your second mission in a week's time, the bus will come to pick you up in advance......"
At the dining table, the four of them sat speechless and ate fiercely.
"To be honest, you're really good at cooking......
Liu Chengfeng took a few bites and couldn't help complaining.
Meng Jun, who was cooking, raised his head and glanced at Liu Chengfeng coldly:
"If you don't like to eat, you can throw it away, or you can make it yourself."
Liu Chengfeng was originally a big grinning person, and his temper was not very good, so he wanted to go back, but when he looked at Meng Jun, he shrunk his neck.
Meng Jun's eyes were too terrifying.
At that moment, Liu Chengfeng even felt as if there was a knife on his neck!
He was almost sure that this man named Meng Jun was ...... Killed!
However, Liu Chengfeng is not a dumb person, he stalked his neck and said:
"Do it yourself, do it yourself!"
"I'll leave the words here, from today on, I, Liu Chengfeng, am the head chef here, in the future, as long as I am here, you are not allowed to enter the kitchen, whatever you want to eat, I will cook it for you!"
He said the most cowardly words in a strong tone.
Ning Qiushui couldn't help but smile.
During the meal, he learned that there were still four old people left in this house, and the good word was that the head of the house was also the first person to enter the house.
The boy's name is Tian Xun, and he is an orphan who lives with his sister.
Meng Jun is a good friend of Liangyan in the outside world, he used to be a soldier and has been on the battlefield on the border.
The only bewitching beauty, Bai Xiaoxiao, is very mysterious, and everyone doesn't know her identity, they only know that she is in the outside world...... It's amazing.
During this period, Ning Qiushui talked about the red-clothed female ghost in their first blood door, but who knew that Meng Jun and Tian Xun didn't say a word after hearing it.
"It's not...... Why don't you speak? ”
Seeing that the two were so silent, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but shout.
As soon as his words fell, Meng Jun picked up the plate and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'm full."
He said lightly.
But both were able to detect the change in Meng Jun's attitude towards them.
The shift was abrupt......
It seems that the spring has just warmed up, and suddenly it has fallen into a cold winter.
