Chapter 213 The Bell Echoes
“He is dead!” Lin Qiqi said at this time.
Luo Xi does not doubt this.
[Soul Peeper] can see the light of the soul of everyone in sight. According to Lin Qiqi, as long as he is alive, his soul will shine, strong or weak, with different brilliance. , but if he cannot see the light of a person's soul, it means that the person is dead.
For the judgment of life and death, Lin Qiqi is faster and more accurate than professional doctors.
A person played games in an Internet cafe for who knows how long, and then he starved to death in his seat.
There is no bloody massacre, no terrifying ghosts, just like a candle that has burned to the bottom and slowly extinguished, a dead leaf falling from the branch, calm and natural.
But at this moment, both An Zhiyan and Lin Qiqi felt an indescribable sense of terror, which even gave them goosebumps.
They are all veterans. In their past experiences, they have seen too many horrific death scenes, acquaintances and strangers.
But the scene they saw now was the calmest and calmest at the same time. It is also the most shocking one.
"Auntie, the passenger on board No. 24 has insufficient balance and is in arrears. Let him get off the plane." The network administrator shouted from the other side. Almost the next moment, a terrifying sense of oppression suddenly appeared, like a train suddenly passing by. Coming train.
It was a middle-aged woman with no pupils, short, slightly fat, wearing cyan cleaning clothes. She was even very polite and asked Luo Xi and the others to get out of the way, and then walked over and killed the dead man. The person who dropped it took off his headphones and lifted the body out like a dead stray cat.
At the same time, I sprayed the tabletop and sofa with the cleaner I brought with me, and then wiped it meticulously with a rag.
Finally, he took the body and left.
An Zhiyan's face was already a little pale.
She never thought that a human life or a corpse would be like cleaning up the corpse of a stray cat.
"If you are afraid, it is still too late to withdraw now." Lin Qiqi noticed An Zhiyan's appearance and said.
"No, I have seen this kind of situation too many times, and isn't every reincarnation of ours accompanied by death?" An Zhiyan said, and at this moment, she had already adjusted her mentality.
The corpse that was cleared out just now is obviously a senior memory collector, even a strong man who has survived hundreds of cycle days, but he still cannot escape the fate of death in difficult level scenes. .
Even in higher-level level scenes, death can no longer be repaired with [memory], and it may not even be possible to rely on rebirth on a recurring day, which means real 'death'.
He may become an amnesiac, or he may completely disappear from the day of confinement.
The three people continued to walk in. Some of the planes along the road were vacant. Someone might have died on this plane not long ago.
There are also people who are playing games, but without exception, they are all motionless, wearing headphones and staring at the screen like statues, looking at the screen that seems to be full of mosaics to the three of them, and controlling The mouse and keyboard, and sometimes the fingers would move.
"Lin Yixuan!"
At this moment, An Zhiyan suddenly looked over there and walked over quickly.
There was a young-looking man sitting on machine No. 41 over there.
The other party, like everyone else, was wearing headphones, controlling the mouse and keyboard and looking at the screen.
But the complexion is relatively better.
She found the person she was looking for.
According to An Zhiyan, this Lin Yixuan has only been missing for three cycle days, so he is not so haggard.
But it also illustrates a problem from the side.
Those haggard, mummy-like people I saw before had been trapped here for a long time, probably at least a dozen, or even more than dozens of cycle days.
"This place is really special." Luo Xi took a deep breath. Although the air was dirty and stuffy, he seemed to like the smell very much. It seemed to evoke some profound memories in him, or it might just be simple. Strong adaptability.
An Zhiyan tried to 'wake up' Lin Yixuan in the past, but this was doomed to be in vain.
"Rules are rules, don't waste your efforts." Lin Qiqi said, and on the other side, Luo Xi had already found their seats.
"No. 46, No. 47, No. 48, we are very lucky, platoon, which one do you choose?" Luo Xi asked.
Lin Qiqi sat in seat 46, while An Zhiyan sat in seat 48.
This time, Luo Xi only has machine No. 47 left.
The three of them sat down and turned on the phone.
Soon you enter the system and the desktop appears on the screen,
The next moment, something strange happened.
"Luo Xi, something is wrong, here" An Zhiyan lowered her head and saw her mouse, which suddenly turned into a terrifying ghost hand, which was grabbing her tightly. She immediately spoke, but turned her head When she saw it, she was stunned. At this moment, she felt as if her heartbeat was about to stop.
Where is Luo Xi beside me?
It was dark all around.
There is nothing except the computer screen in front of me, the keyboard and mouse on the table, and the sofa under my butt.
By the way, the mouse has turned into a terrifying ghost hand. At this moment, it is holding her hand tightly with its fingers intertwined, like a lover holding hands.
The cold touch on her hand immediately made An Zhiyan go to head.
But after all, she is also the deputy leader of the Awakened Association, and she still has basic psychological qualities.
She almost forcibly resisted the urge to yell, controlled her rationality that was about to collapse, and took several deep breaths to stabilize herself.
“This is normal, because this is Yongge Supermarket, and even Lin Yixuan is trapped here, so it’s not surprising anything happens here. You must be calm. If you panic, you will definitely make the wrong decision. , and deaths within days of confinement are often caused by wrong judgment.”
An Zhiyan used self-hypnosis to strengthen her will.
This is not the ability of the card, but a means of self-regulation after long-term practice.
It is still valid.
An Zhiyan calmed down.
She ignored the ghost hand holding her hand because she discovered that, like a mouse, this ghost hand could control the cursor on the screen.
In addition, she also saw clearly what was on the computer screen.
There is only one icon on the desktop. An unpretentious solid black icon with the words ‘Yongge Supermarket’ written underneath.
Take a deep breath and double-click to open.
The next moment, the world was spinning, and An Zhiyan seemed to be sucked into the screen by a ball of black light, or perhaps, what was sucked in was just her 'soul'.
In short, when she came to her senses, she found herself standing in a deserted field.
It was also dark all around, and the wind unique to the wilderness blew on the body, making people feel a bone-chilling chill.
Like the cold wind from the north, like a knife.
Hiss!
An Zhiyan staggered and looked down at her calf in disbelief.
There was a cut on it, as if it had been lightly scratched by a razor blade.
“This wind is wrong!”
An Zhiyan realized that there was some kind of ferocious evil spirit hidden in the surrounding wind. It would roar from time to time, and then suddenly stretch out its claws to strike. attack.
She immediately realized that staying where she was was the only way to die.
Run!
Where can I run?
In just a few seconds, An Zhiyan already felt several wounds made by her own blade-like ghost claws.
The pain made her highly focused.
She immediately used a [Healing] card to repair the wound.
Look around carefully, there seems to be something in front of you.
Looking closer, there is a road sign marking the direction.
Pointing to the four directions of ‘east, west, north, south’ respectively.
An Zhiyan knew that she was alone now, and she had to find and move in the right direction, otherwise she would die in this unknown place without even finding Yongge Supermarket.
Think immediately.
She can only find the answer from the riddle about Yongge Supermarket.
"The sun is shining brightly, and you hear the echo of the midnight bell. Gen Xiangxun looks for the door and tells a joke to the Dragon King. He will let you enter Yongge Supermarket."
At this moment, An Zhiyan listened. There came a bell.
Although it is weak, it is indeed a bell. It seems to be far away and ringing non-stop.
"The echo of the midnight bell must be right, I must have heard it, then the next sentence is Gen Xiang Xunmen Gen is the hexagram, the direction is northeast, northeast direction."
An Zhi Yan immediately followed the direction of the sign, found the northeast direction, and then walked forward without hesitation. During this period, she was attacked again, but she also knew that she could not stop, otherwise she would die even worse.
The pain all over her body made her want to stop several times, but her survival instinct and her rationality told her that she must keep walking.
She found the next road sign and continued moving forward.
The surrounding darkness remains unchanged, and the terrifying attacks remain unchanged. The only thing that changes is the bell ringing in the ears, which seems to be getting louder and clearer.
Finally, when An Zhiyan was about to lose her hold, she saw a weird clock tower with a weird thing standing underneath.
A dragon that walks upright and wears clothes!
This feeling is very shocking. That kind of creature that only exists in myths and legends is actually standing in front of you at this moment, with its silver-white scales, slender and curved neck, huge dragon head, and fluttering dragon whiskers
The wind stopped.
The attack stopped immediately.
Immediately afterwards, An Zhiyan heard the dragon murmuring: "The dragon wears star armor, dances in the traces of time and space, the dragon beads reflect the universe, and its majesty shakes the universe."
After that, He stretched out his hand and pulled a rope, and the bell on it swung. When he hit the bell, the bell sounded melodiously and echoed endlessly.
An Zhiyan perked up, this should be the 'Dragon King' in the riddle.
The last sentence in the riddle is 'Tell the Dragon King a joke and he will let you enter Yongge Supermarket'.
"Are you telling a joke?" An Zhiyan scratched her stomach, coughed, and said cautiously: "Mr. Dragon King, what about me, tell you a joke?"
Over there The Dragon King glanced at An Zhiyan and nodded extremely proudly.
“Okay, then I’ll start.”
An Zhiyan said: "A man was walking on the street and saw a businessman selling parrots. He thought the parrot was very beautiful, so he asked the businessman if the parrot could talk? The businessman said: Of course! Don't believe it? Just hold its right foot. Then. The man shook the parrot as he was told He heard the parrot say clearly: Hello! The businessman said again: Please hold the parrot's left foot. The parrot said clearly: Goodbye, goodbye. Then The man was even more happy and immediately bought the parrot. He was overjoyed when he got home. He touched the parrot's left foot and then its right foot. The parrot also said obediently: Goodbye, hello. Wonder: What would it say if I held its two feet together? So he grabbed both of the parrot's feet and said loudly: Damn it! You want to knock me down?"
After speaking, he looked at the Dragon King expectantly.
The latter was silent for a moment and shook his head slowly.
Obviously not satisfied.
An Zhiyan's scalp was numb, but fortunately she immediately thought of another joke: "Mr. Dragon King, I also have a teacher who often teaches everyone in class that when you see other people's flaws and misfortunes, , Never laugh. One day, I said to the teacher: Today there was a child on campus who fell into a puddle. Everyone laughed, but I was the only one who didn’t laugh. The teacher said that I did the right thing and praised me, and then asked me. :Who fell into the puddle? ”
She looked at the Dragon King and found that he was also curious, and she felt happy at the moment.
"It's me!"
"."
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and An Zhiyan felt like her heart was going to jump out.
After a long time, the Dragon King raised his hand, and a door under the bell tower opened.
"Go in!"
After entering the door, An Zhiyan walked several steps before she heard a burst of laughter that was almost inaudible from behind.
