Chapter 39: Rain in the Castle Card Shop
It started to rain outside, crackling.
At one o'clock at noon sharp, the killing time has long ended, but the scene rule is that you must survive until one o'clock to complete the level.
When the pointer of the clock on the wall pointed to the hour, Luo Xi found strange white mist appearing in front of his eyes. The next moment, the white mist condensed and turned into a piece of paper.
It was the [Sega Apartment Building Level Scene Participation Contract] he signed at the beginning.
At this moment, the contract was floating strangely, and then, it spontaneously ignited.
The flames burned the piece of paper almost instantly, but the ashes did not dissipate, but re-condensed under a force and turned into a card.
This is a [memory].
According to the scene rules, if you survive until one o'clock at noon, you will be considered as clearing the level and you will get a [Memory] card.
In other words, from this moment on, the level scene of Sega Apartment is over, and because there is no administrator, the entire scene will not appear again, including various puzzles, games and Cleaner element.
All gone.
"Luo Xi, I got a [memory]." Wu Rui couldn't hide her joy in her tone. She hurried into the bedroom and saw Luo Xi sitting by the bed, flipping through a blood-stained book. diary.
She wanted to go over and take a look, but Luo Xi immediately closed the diary.
Wu Rui’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
"You'd better not read a word." After Luo Xi finished speaking, Wu Rui reacted and nodded immediately.
She now looks like a well-behaved and obedient sweet girl, and the reason is very simple. Luo Xi has already led her through two level scenes, and counting the memory cards and level-clearance rewards that Luo Xi gave her before, there are already two .
It gave her a sense of security.
This is like a large deposit in a bank card, which has become a source of confidence and security for modern people.
Memory cards are the source of security for people who pick up memories.
This feeling was given to her by Luo Xi, so if Luo Xi said she couldn't look at it, she would comply without any complaints.
"The hair is starting to wither." Butcher Zhang seemed to have been nervously observing the dense hair on the ceiling. At this moment, the hair was like an ivy on the wall after autumn, withering visible to the naked eye.
“Let’s go!”
Luo Xi stood up and took out a backpack from the house.
The children's version is still pink and has cute little dolls hanging on it.
Obviously it belongs to Zhou Ya.
Putting the blood-stained diary in, Luo Xi zipped it up and carried it on her back.
Open the door to room 809.
Outside
People have all heard of the place 'Hell'. Of course, different people have different imaginations of this place, but at this moment, the Sega Apartment Building is like A living hell, a terrifying place that exists in reality and is enough to scare everyone's courage.
Even for Zhang Tutu, a rough man, his eyelids were twitching wildly and his scalp was numb at this moment.
Those withered hairs are full of dead people.
The death was miserable.
If you are lucky, your limbs are only twisted and broken by the hair. For example, the facial features are facing behind, the limbs are anti-jointed, and there seem to be a few more joints; if you are unlucky, it will be fragmented. The head is here, the body is there, and the left leg may have been carried downstairs by the hair
There is blood on the ground.
Scattered around are various items.
There are crutches, broken glasses, mobile phones with broken screens, keychains, cosmetics and so on
These things are mixed with dried blood, like a wild and weird piece of art that has become one of them part of.
There are twisted corpses everywhere, both men and women, old and young. Luo Xi and Wu Rui are okay. After all, they don’t live here and they are all strangers. But Liu Mao, his wife and Zhang Butcher, along the way, It was obvious that he had suffered a huge mental shock when he came down.
Fortunately, Liu Mao and his wife did not forget to cover the eyes of their daughter and son when they went out.
Otherwise, the two children would have been scared crazy.
Walking down the corridor, the smell of death is suffocating.
The people who died here were all neighbors. Some of them had not only seen them before, but were also familiar with them.
As a result, they all died, and their death was extremely miserable. The ferocious facial features were like sharp claws, tearing at their fragile nerves.
"Everyone will be resurrected in the next cycle."
Luo Xi said at this time.
It instantly soothed the spirits of Liu Mao and Zhang Butu who were about to collapse.
Yes, it’s not the first time they died. Not tomorrow, after restarting today, these people will be resurrected.
It’s just that they won’t remember death.
Going down to the first floor, the withered hair stopped spreading at the entrance of the corridor. The rain was still falling, but no one cared. They all rushed out of the corridor as if they were running away, feeling the feeling of raindrops hitting their bodies.
Only Luo Xi was holding an umbrella.
"Didn't you take an umbrella?" he asked. "Who cares about this?" Wu Rui raised her head, the rain hit her face, and she was smiling.
It feels so good to be alive.
"Let's find some umbrellas. Why do we need to get wet in the rain?" Luo Xi returned to the apartment building. When he came out again, he already had several more umbrellas in his hand.
"Thank you, uncle." Liu Simiao and Liu Sixin took the umbrellas politely.
This pair of siblings have been looking at Luo Xi with curious eyes.
The two of them could clearly see that this young uncle was the leader, and their parents, including their parents, had to listen to this uncle.
Of course, there are some differences between the siblings. The younger brother thinks that his uncle is so awesome; the older sister thinks that his uncle is so handsome
A few people ate together at a small roadside restaurant. A bowl of rice.
“I want to add another braised egg.” Wu Rui ate hungrily.
She is hungry.
Actually everyone is hungry, including Luo Xi.
He ate very carefully, but his speed was not slow at all, and he did not raise his head while eating. He ate the last grain of rice on the plate before wiping his mouth and getting up.
Seeing this, Wu Rui hurriedly took the last bite into her mouth and stood up to pay.
Over there, Butcher Zhang wanted to say something, but he remained silent.
After all, he has escaped.
Just watched Luo Xi and Wu Rui walk out of the small restaurant.
"Dad, where are Uncle Luo and the others going?" Liu Sixin asked curiously.
In addition to rice, there is also soda on the table, which the couple strictly prohibits the children from drinking.
"They are going home." Liu Mao touched his son's head, his eyes full of love.
"Then shall we go home?"
"No, not back. Mom and dad will take you to the amusement park later."
"Okay!" Liu Sixin danced excitedly, after all, he was a little older The younger sister, Liu Simiao, is not very nervous. She is still in shock and has not recovered from the shock. She is also absent-minded when eating.
“Not only will we go to the amusement park, but we will also take you to catch dolls and eat the best ice cream. In the evening, we will stay in the best hotel,” Liu Mao said, patting his chest.
He obviously listened to Luo Xi’s suggestion.
At this moment, Luo Xi was holding an umbrella and walking to the other side of the street.
There are very few taxis passing by here, and the few cars that occasionally drive by are also pulling passengers.
“Let’s go forward.”
Luo Xi and Wu Rui walked one behind the other.
“Where are we going?”
"First go to Heidou Community on Zhuzhu Road, Huangling District!" Luo Xi said. That place is Lao Wang's home address.
"By the way, your car is still parked at the intersection over there."
"Yes!"
He planned to find Lao Wang's daughter.
After all, it is a task issued by an administrator, so you should still get some snacks, and the rewards are good. The three cards do have what Luo Xi needs.
When we reached the intersection, the rain started to fall even harder, and we could no longer see the road even more than ten meters away. The rain seemed to be pouring down for free, and the sky became darker and gloomier. There were very few pedestrians on the road, and it even seemed lonely. Apart from the rain, Sound, it seems like nothing can be heard.
Luo Xi looked up and walked forward a short distance.
There are no cars on the road, and there is no one at the bus stop. I don’t know how long it will take to wait for the bus. Even if you hold an umbrella on this rainy day, your upper body will be fine, but your lower body will be soaked.
At this moment, Luo Xi noticed a shop in the alley ahead.
This place has mostly small restaurants, some selling clothes and furniture, and even a pet shop for cats and dogs.
However, the signboard over there that read "Bikin Castle Card Shop" successfully caught Luo Xi's attention.
Perhaps it was because during the days of confinement, many magical powers and abilities came from the 'Spider Card', so Luo Xi walked into the alley by accident.
"What's wrong?" Wu Rui, who was following behind, didn't understand, but Luo Xi didn't hear her voice at all.
Standing at the door, looking around in the rain, Luo Xi opened the door and went in.
There is a bell on the door frame inside. As soon as the door is opened, there is a 'ding-dong' sound. Coupled with the unique bookstore-like smell in the store, mixed with some tea fragrance, it immediately makes people feel soothed.
