Qisi let go of his hand decisively and continued to move forward without looking back.
The sound of light and delicate footsteps followed closely behind him, always keeping one step behind.
Qisi put his right hand on the destiny pocket watch, turned around and saw a huge rabbit wearing a red kimono standing upright like a human, with blood-red eyes staring at him.
Reiko was nowhere to be seen, or rather...she turned into this rabbit.
"You are going the wrong way. If you go from here, you will never get out..." A sharp female voice sounded from behind the ears, sad and sad.
The woman in white with disheveled hair stumbled out of the fog, only to be caught by people wearing rabbit-face masks.
Qiss turned his head to look at the woman and saw a beautiful but pale face, as if she had just escaped from a nightmare convulsion or been fished out of cold water.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The woman did not answer him, but looked at the rabbit in red with a sad and painful look, and murmured: "Lingzi...my daughter...they have caused you so much pain..."
The rabbit tilted his head to look at her, his grin extending from the corners of his mouth to the base of his ears, revealing his jagged fangs, with strands of flesh still hanging on them. The saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth dripped onto the ground, washing away the diffuse white mist.
The picture suddenly fell into black, white and gray, and handwritten white words appeared in the void in front of us:
[The end of the second week of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi"]
【The boy and girl who achieved the ending ② The hidden god】
[You take Reiko all the way to the northwest. You originally planned to leave Usagiami Town, but you don’t want to stray into the territory of Kamiki.
[In the thick fog, you lost your way and saw all kinds of strange scenes. You feel scared, but the way you came has disappeared. Reiko was assimilated, and everyone who was not assimilated went crazy.
[Your body was brought back to Usagiami Town by the Kannaji clan, but your soul remained in that strange fog forever. The strange legend of Kamigakure spreads in Usagi-gami Town, and children are no longer allowed to go to the northwest of Usagi-gami Town.
【And you will go crazy from now on and never be able to escape...】
Another failed ending, but a lot of clues were obtained.
For example, the northwest is the wrong escape route; another example is that the crazy woman is Reiko's mother, and her words seem to mention that someone wants to kill Reiko...
The three major families were originally of equal strength, but if the male owner of one family died unexpectedly and the female owner went crazy, she would surely be eaten up by the other two families.
Reiko is currently facing such a dilemma. "Being like the Rabbit God" is definitely not a good thing, otherwise it will never happen to her...
The picture in front of him collapsed into pieces and dispersed like clouds of smoke, leaving only a line of cold text.
[There are still 11:59:59 until the next release of the game "Escape from Usagi Kamachi"]
Qisi found himself sitting on a chair, and Lu Ming, who was holding his face, was sitting opposite him, staring at him unblinkingly.
"You failed again." Lu Ming said in a statement tone.
Qisi looked at him and smiled: "It seems that you have the means to fast forward. How about fast forwarding again and letting me start the third program as soon as possible?"
One of the main tasks is [Participate in the fireworks festival seven days later], which means to push the time of "Escape from Usagi Kamachi" to August 7, but currently Qisi's progress is still stuck on the first day...
< br>
However, after two tests, Ziss almost understood the death point of this game. One was to arouse the suspicion of the NPC, and the other was to encounter strange events.
If it were to happen again, he would put aside the matter of "Escape from Usagiami Town" for the time being and try to follow the normal development of the game.
"You want to save Lingzi." Lu Ming answered the question inappropriately.
He faintly recited a children's song in his mouth: "The big rabbit is sick, the second rabbit looks at it, the third rabbit buys medicine, the fourth rabbit boils...
"Nine Rabbits are mourning on the ground. Ten Rabbits ask why? Nine Rabbits say, Five Rabbits will never come back..."
After reading it once, he looked at Qiss and said: "Ten Rabbits know..."
In an instant, everything disappeared, including the game interface, the prayer belt, and Lu Ming.
Chiss woke up on the hard bed board in the dormitory of Hope Middle School, and what he saw was a darkness that represented night.
Lu Ming's last words echoed in his ears, and he remembered that this children's song was also copied in "Lu Ming's diary", with the sentence "We are all dead" written in small characters next to it.
At this point, it no longer matters who the "Five Rabbits" in the school are, all that is needed is that they are dead.
Zisi dared to enter and exit the office before because he relied on himself as the "Nine Rabbits" in the children's song. In order to ensure the normal operation of logic, he would not encounter fatal danger before the "Ten Rabbits" appeared.
But the moment he saw the diary, theoretically two people knew the truth, one was him, and the other was Lu Ming, who didn't know whether it really existed.
Among the two of them, one is the "Nine Rabbit" and the other is the "Ten Rabbit". The logic of the children's song has been perfected and no longer constitutes a restriction. The danger of this copy has truly come.
As if to confirm Zeiss's guess, a nauseating rancid smell began to fill the air, lingering in the nose, sending a bad warning.
In the dim light, out of the corner of his eye, Zeiss caught a glimpse of a rotting head, connected by a thin layer of skin and flesh, hanging from the edge of the opposite bed.
As if aware of the stranger's gaze, the head fell to the ground with a "snap" and rolled towards the bed where Qisi was.
The other bed was also covered with rotting bones, and smelly liquid was constantly seeping down; the same was true for the bed at the back that belonged to the dormitory leader.
Everyone is dead. Ghosts or corpses appear normal and peaceful during the day, but will reveal their true colors at night.
But what kind of power can kill the entire school and imprison their ghosts in this space?
Could it be that the Rabbit God did it too?
Chiss gathered his thoughts, sat up from the bed, stepped over his roommate's bone-white leg lying on the ground, and pushed out the door.
Since there are ghosts inside and outside the house, there is nothing to be picky about. It is better to go out at night to explore and collect more clues.
The door rubbed against the ground, making a "squeak" sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent scene, enough to attract beings waiting for opportunities in the dark night.
For a second, a cluster of pale green lights dimly lit up, illuminating a gray figure at the corner of the stairs.
The figure crawled crookedly like a beast, but not at a slow speed. He crawled in front of Qiss in a few seconds.
The female dormitory's voice came out of her mouth, intermittent and unclear: "Why... don't you sleep? Why... run around at night?"
Half of her wrinkled face was rotten and covered with gray and white fat maggots. The bones of the bent right arm were exposed, and the broken part was lit with green will-o'-the-wisps, and corpse oil was dripping down.
Qisi reacted very quickly and took a step back, retreated into the bedroom door, pulled the door shut with his backhand, and locked the door smoothly.
His heel seemed to have stepped on something soft. He lowered his head and saw a palm that was so rotten that he couldn't see its shape being stepped on the sole of his shoe.
Qisi: "..."
...Is it too late to throw away the shoes now?
Outside the door, the female dormitory obviously didn't intend to give up. She banged the door and roared: "Who was it just now? Hand him over, or you will lose points in the whole dormitory!"
It can be seen that this lady is very dedicated and she still thinks about her job even after she dies.
Qisi stood in awe, carefully stepped over the limbs lying on the ground, and retreated to his bed.
Just now, he heard a "sizzling" electromagnetic disturbance coming from under his pillow, which seemed to be mixed with some bytes. It was not obvious among the rustling sounds of ghosts moving, but he could distinguish it.
He reached into the pillowcase and groped around, and found out a cold recording pen, which was buried deep in the cotton. If it didn't make a sound, it would be impossible to find it. On the dark strip, a little white light shines, indicating the switch status. The recorder turned on by itself at some point.
Qisi tried pressing the switch, but there was no response. The recorder was still playing the pre-recorded content.
【Four...Two...Nine...Seven...Three...Six】
Different from the noise heard during the day, this recording contains substantial information, which are numbers with no meaning.
Password password, or something else?
Outside the door, the "bang bang" sound of banging on the door became more and more intense. The rusty door lock was soon overwhelmed and broke with a "pop" sound.
In the flash of lightning, Qisi rolled out of bed and huddled in the shadow of the corner between the bed frame and the wardrobe.
The next second, the female dormitory manager broke in through the door. Her knuckles scraped against the door, making a tooth-aching "creep" sound.
She dragged her feet and walked deeper into the dormitory step by step. She kept turning her head and searching everywhere with her eyes.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and the unpleasant stench of corruption hit his face. Zeiss stared at the black toes walking in front of him, ready to activate the effect of the destiny pocket watch at any time.
To his surprise, the female dormitory passed him directly, stood upright in front of him, and opened the wardrobe next to him.
The closet was naturally empty.
The female hostess asked angrily: "Where is the man? Where has he gone?"
Qisi, who was a palm away: "..."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the recorder in his hand, making some guesses.
At that moment, he raised his hand and knocked on the bed frame twice, almost desperately.
The metal bed frame made two crisp "ding" sounds. The female dormitory turned back suddenly, but her eyes passed directly over Qisi, as if he did not exist in this time and space.
At this point, Ziss was sure that the recording pen had the effect of blocking the perception of ghosts and could help him move at night.
The female dormitory manager was still rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the dormitory. Qisi silently held the recorder in his right hand and walked out of the dormitory door again.
He walked along the corridor to the stairs. The sensor light in front of him flickered on, causing the female dormitory behind him to roar.
Qisi climbed down the stairs without changing his expression. The stairwell and corridor on the third floor were separated by an iron door. He went directly to the second floor.
Waves of laughter like silver bells floated to Qisi's ears, light and lively, belonging to a young girl.
In the corridor on the second floor, only the area near the stairwell was lit by the sound of Qiss's footsteps, while the depths were dark, with strange red lights dancing from time to time.
The ghostly singing voice floats like ghost whispers:
"The Rabbit God came to the northwest, clad in red and colorful, sitting on a high platform, blessing all generations...
"Three families celebrated fireworks, driving through Southeast Street, in front of a deep cave..."
Astonishingly, it is the two haiku poems related to the Rabbit God Festival in the game "Escape from Rabbit God Town".
The two different time and spaces seemed to be connected to some extent. Even if he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, Qiss seemed to have seen a group of girls dressed up in colorful clothes surrounding a statue of a god, clapping and singing.
The face of the statue is blurry, and it is only known to be a human-like rabbit dressed in red...
Qisi walked over, making footsteps along the way to light up the sensor light. When he walked to a certain place, the sensor light above his head seemed to be broken, and it did not shed white light as expected.
If he felt something, he looked back and saw that the lights behind him were extinguished one by one. The light was getting farther and farther away, and he was trapped in darkness.
An enchanting red light filled the entire space. The female students didn't know when they put on their kimonos and filed out of the dormitory door.
They also ignored Zeiss and stayed together in twos and threes, laughing and talking to each other.
"It's almost time, everything is ready, let's invite the Rabbit God together."
"Everyone must be present. If anyone is missing, Lord Rabbit God will be unhappy and punish everyone."
"Everyone, think about it quickly. What questions will you ask Lord Rabbit God later and what wishes will you make?"
The girls sat cross-legged in a circle.
Chiss noticed that their faces were as pale as if they were smeared with powder, their dark eyes were stiff and motionless, and their voices were as jerky as reading on a stick.
——Obviously not a living person.
Paper pages with strange symbols drawn on them, colorful prayer ribbons, symbolic sand tables and ornaments were placed in the circle, much like the "pen fairy" that girls loved to play in Qisi Junior High School.
But unlike the "Pen Fairy", these girls are not inviting ghosts, but gods.
The last dormitory door also opened, and a girl helped a man in red clothes and a red cloth hood come out, leading the man to sit down in the circle.
"It would be a wonderful thing to please the gods with the nastiest guy among us in exchange for all of our wishes coming true."
"When she helps us realize our wish, we won't hate her anymore, because she is going to die."
The girls whispered and began to sing loudly: "The Rabbit God descends to the northwest, sits on a high platform in red and colorful clothes, blessing all generations...
"Three families celebrated fireworks, driving through Southeast Street, in front of a deep cave..."
A gust of wind blew away the red cloth on the faces of the people in the circle, revealing the face of a girl as pale as paper, a look that Qisi was already familiar with.
——Lingzi.
[The progress of the main mission has been updated]
[Main mission: Find Qi Lingzi’s body (4/7)]
Reiko's body quickly grew rabbit fur, her muzzle and nose protruded, taking on the characteristics of a rabbit face, and her eyes became blood red.
The girls laughed: "The Rabbit God is coming, the Rabbit God is coming!"
They walked on their knees close to Reiko in the center of the circle, like devout slaves approaching their king.
They all expressed their questions and wishes:
"I want to know if he likes me?"
"I want to be more beautiful!"
"I hope to get good results in the next monthly exam..."
Qisi had no intention of getting involved in this evil ritual and stepped back step by step.
Reiko's bloody eyes looked at him at some point, and he suddenly couldn't move.
After a moment of dizziness, his vision settled again, and he actually sat in the middle of the girls, in Reiko's seat... (End of Chapter)
