Chapter 536 Why don’t you eat? Is the food here not delicious? (Please subscribe, please vote)
The dark and damp corridor is filled with the smell of rotting corpses.
A door opened, and the light in the room shone out, casting a long shadow.
"Excuse me, what happened here? How can I get out or walk up there?"
Seeing the resident open the door, Hunter walked up diligently.
He can ask the staff to do the hard work of moving things.
But you still have to do this kind of fine work yourself.
Hunter remembered that the expert team once told him before he went in that the teammates who are given to you in the strange world are basically not very smart. At most, they will only attack you. You have to be good use.
If you want to find something useful, you need to discover it yourself.
Although Hunter spoke so politely, he carefully observed the resident and the room behind him.
This resident is a middle-aged man, his skin is a little dry, and the flesh on his cheeks is even sunken.
His hair is messy, his face is sinister, and his eyes are heavily dark. You can see through the light in the room that there are blood stains on his fingernails.
As an ordinary chosen one, Hunter didn’t know how effective this wizened man was in combat, but he was definitely better than him.
After all, those who were weaker than him would have died long ago if they could live here.
There is a fatal detail here, that is, Hunter has confirmed the friendly status of the withered man who opened the door, that is, his hands are where he can see.
Because when going downstairs, some of the 'people' who greeted me warmly had one hand hidden behind their backs.
These residents with one hand hidden behind their backs obviously couldn't answer Hunter's greetings in human language, so they were definitely not human beings.
Hunter guessed that any resident who hid his hands behind his back would definitely be in danger to himself.
This is the hidden rule of the ghost story world. If you don't discover this and have rash contact with the residents here, you will suffer a big loss.
He still knows the rules and uses them to reason, which saves a lot of time.
Those chosen ones who have no rules don't know how long they will be tortured before they can figure this out.
So Hunter inferred from this that it did not mean that he would help the residents he met upstairs as long as he gave them gifts.
You also need to ensure that the resident's hands are within sight of you before you can greet him.
Hunter was just lucky at this time and found a resident who could communicate with him from the beginning.
Knowing that the resident was not very hostile, Hunter continued to observe the room behind him with his peripheral vision.
The furnishings in the room seemed a bit messy, and some furnishings had obvious scratches and even wisps of black air.
There are some traces of fighting near the door, all of which tell Hunter that the person who opened the door is not simple.
After the wizened man took the 'gift' in, he first stretched out his head and looked around, warning Hunter not to come in, and then began to answer some questions for Hunter.
He spoke, his voice hoarse, like old rotten wood.
“Actually, you shouldn’t come here, but since you are here, let me give you some advice. This building is actually alive. We all live in its body. I only know how to get down. , if you want to go up, go find the people downstairs."
The wizened man said it very mysteriously. What he basically meant was: you are a human being, you cannot move freely in this place, and you have to follow certain rules.
The people you meet upstairs know how to get downstairs.
The people you meet on the way downstairs know how to go upstairs.
The wizened man was obviously met upstairs. As long as he was given food according to the rules, he would tell Hunter how to go downstairs.
Following the wizened man's prompts, Hunter only needs to find an unlit staircase between floors, and go down from there to the first floor.
As for where the exit is, this wizened man doesn't know. He only knows how to get to the first floor.
Hunter began to judge that there might be a problem with the lighting, and it was the lighting that trapped him here.
After the wizened man answered the questions, he was about to close the door and enjoy the food. It was obvious from his appearance that he was very hungry.
But Hunter hadn't finished asking yet. He said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, can you ask me one more question? Just one."
Seeing Hunter's sincere look, he was so embarrassed. The man avoided the dilemma and said: "You ask, I will tell you as much as I know."
Hunter heard this and said immediately: "So among the residents downstairs who opened the door, how can I find the ones with children?"
After all, Hunter met four or five people who opened the door, all with one hand. Hiding behind his back, he looked like he was hiding a knife in his smile.
Not to mention children, there is no one who can talk to him normally in human language.
So Hunter directly asked the wizened man about the children. If there were children, the rules would definitely be triggered.
Because Rule 2 said that children can’t lie and they will definitely be able to ask something.
The wizened man thought for a moment and said with a gloomy face: "I'm not sure what you're talking about. I rarely interact with other residents, but those children are the most annoying. They usually like to scribble on the corridors and make messes when they have nothing to do. Knock on the door. "
Before Hunter could ask any more questions, he closed the door with a bang.
Hunter was a little confused. His reaction was obviously not very fast. He didn't judge anything from these words. He was even considering whether to change residents and continue asking.
Seeing Hunter's bewildered look, many passers who were watching the big screen outside gritted their teeth in anger, especially Miller and Greco, who wanted to replace him and go in by themselves.
Even Sidney, whose brain reaction is not very fast, already knows the clues.
What's wrong with judging this? Didn’t everyone tell you this?
Children like to doodle. If you look for a floor with more graffiti, or even a door with more graffiti, there will definitely be children there.
Hunter relies on his own rules. Even if his reaction is a little slower, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, he will basically not encounter anything too dangerous.
This made the audience anxious. It took Hunter more than ten minutes to find the right target.
The expert team outside were surprised that he did not waste time where he needed to waste time, that is, when he went upstairs to find residents who were easy to communicate with.
He wasted a lot of time in a place where he didn't need to waste time, that is, when he went downstairs to look for residents with children.
It makes the audience who is watching him feel miserable. You say you are better than him, but honestly speaking, you may not be able to pass some levels like Hunter.
At least he reacted at the last moment, but he just walked on the edge of the cliff.
You said you are not as good as him, but Hunter is indeed unsatisfactory in handling some things. Ordinary people may do better than him.
So there is a lot of controversy outside about Hunter. His popularity has even surpassed Martin and Robert, and is second only to Zhang Yangqing.
As an ordinary chosen one, with no special abilities and even average performance, Hunter can be so popular. It can be said that this is the first time in the world of ghost stories that Hunter has experienced.
Finally, as one of the representative tasks of the ordinary chosen ones, Rahman, the clearance passer of the Pyramid Kingdom, said something fair: The difficulties ordinary chosen people encounter in the world of ghost stories have never been entered. People simply cannot understand it.
One sentence can shut up most trolls.
Because everyone already knows about Rahman’s abilities, but even so, he still has many so-called ‘mistakes’ in the world of ghost stories.
For example, if you make a mistake in judgment and get caught by the aborigines, or if you fail to pay attention and observe, you will be attacked strangely. Everyone looked at the big screen and thought that with Rahman’s ability this shouldn’t be the case.
But after entering, the terrifying environment, the depressing atmosphere, physical discomfort, confusing information, unclear rules, everything interferes with the judgment of ordinary chosen people.
No one explores in a perfect state, and it is normal to be disturbed.
Every veteran will make mistakes, let alone a newcomer like Hunter.
Even the Heavenly Master of the Dragon Kingdom can only rely on guesswork sometimes and cannot guarantee that he is 100% correct.
But if someone has the ability, the person who guesses wrong may be Wei Wei and the aborigines who die. This is a different matter.
Only ordinary chosen people know the difficulties of ordinary chosen people.
In Rahman’s view, it was normal for Hunter to not react quickly.
Originally, this was Rahman's stand for the ordinary chosen ones, but Hunter's next operation made Rahman regret having said these words.
In the world of ghost stories, when Hunter went downstairs, he found a household that opened the door and could communicate normally.
The resident invited Hunter to the door and carefully looked inside. He didn't find any children inside, so he made an excuse and ran out, missing an opportunity in vain.
Because the audience has discovered that there must be children in this house.
In the end, I don’t know whether it was because the little girl couldn’t stand it, or because Hunter triggered some process, and he got the hint.
Hunter met another household with whom he could communicate. The householder was an old woman wearing glasses.
Her hair is half black and white, her eyes are narrowed into a straight line, and she looks very kind.
But Hunter knew that he couldn't survive in this place without some skills, and this old man would definitely not be that simple.
She was able to communicate with Hunter normally and invited Hunter into the room for dinner.
But when Hunter came to the door of the room, the scene in front of him stopped him.
Everything in this room seems so unusual.
The dining table was filled with steaming dishes, most of which were meat. But strangely, there were no lights on in the room, only the few white candles emitting a faint light.
The old woman's shadow swayed twistedly on the wall, looking extremely scary.
And Hunter took a quick look and found that there were no children in the room. It might not be the room he was looking for, so he was ready to continue making excuses to escape.
The audience looked anxiously, but at this time, the little girl pointed in one direction in the room and said: "Brother, there are many dolls there, I want to play with them too."
< br>This sentence seemed to wake up Hunter.
Hunter suddenly reacted, yes, since there are stuffed animals, it proves that there may be children in this room, but the children have not appeared yet.
Is this proof that there are children in the house?
Hunter hesitated for a moment, but thought that his regular task might be to find the child, rather than the child right in front of him.
Thinking of this, he bit the bullet and followed in.
Seeing Hunter wake up, the audience breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn’t know how to evaluate this guy. At the beginning, we saw toys in the previous room. You can’t see it yourself. It’s scary. Just ran out.
This room is even weirder and more dangerous than the last room. If the little girl doesn't warn you, you may not know what the next one will be like.
This is why Rahman regrets speaking for him. Forget it if you couldn't see it in the first room, but you haven't seen it yet in the second room. If you were here alone, you would be waiting to die.
In the world of ghost stories, Hunter who entered the room didn't care so much. His attention was now focused on observing the surroundings to see if there was any hidden danger.
The staff around him were also very wary, but the little girl had already run to the pile of stuffed toys, showing a happy expression.
Hunter wanted to ask the little girl to come back. This was someone else's house and to tell her not to mess around, but the old lady said it was nothing. If the child likes to play, just let her play and it won't be a problem.
The master said so, but Hunter didn’t say anything.
He and the staff carefully sat down at the dining table, trying to calm down their nervous mood.
The old lady didn't seem to care about his nervousness, warmly greeted him to start eating, and told him that there were more dishes in the kitchen.
Originally Hunter was not hungry, but after smelling these aromas, he was made to pick up the tableware and start picking up the food, as if he was out of control.
Suddenly, the sound of chopping meat came from the room.
Hunter's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly woke up. Sweat flowed down his forehead. Then he used his feet to lift the staff member who was also distracted under the table. Only then did the staff member react. , put down the tableware.
The scene just now was so terrifying that they both lost their appetite instantly.
It is actually normal for Hunter to lose consciousness at this time. Only Zhang Yangqing got the clue that Bianhua can unravel the hallucination. The other chosen ones don't know this yet.
Hunter looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but found a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark shadow of the kitchen.
The owner of these eyes held a kitchen knife stained with red mucus in her hand. She slowly walked out of the kitchen with an indescribable smile on her face.
She asked in a low voice: "Why don't you eat? Is the food here not delicious?"
The hero's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he could not speak.
He felt an inexplicable fear welling up, and he dared not eat anything.
Seemingly sensing that something was wrong with the old lady’s face, Hunter changed the subject and said, “I’m sorry, old man, it’s not that the food here is not delicious, it’s just that I suddenly felt that we were rude because my parents told me to go When I’m a guest at someone else’s house, I have to wait for the host’s family to eat while you’re still busy.”
What Hunter said is reasonable, after all, the old lady can speak normal human language. People who communicate.
If it is weird, it is at least intelligent.
If you are a normal person, there is absolutely no problem in saying this. The old man will think that Hunter is very sensible.
The staff was also witty for once. After hearing what Hunter said, they also said a few nice words, which gave them a sense of presence.
Hunter saw that the old lady's face looked much better, so he continued: "By the way, I see that you have prepared a lot of food. There should be other people at home. Let's eat together and have fun."
This sentence is to determine whether there are children in this family.
It can be seen that Hunter still did not lose his chain at the critical moment.
The old lady sighed and said, "My granddaughter has not had a good appetite recently, but there are many people today, so I will call her out to have a meal together."
As she said that, the old lady staggered to a door. There was a small sign in the room. Hunter actually really wanted to see what was written on the small sign.
But there were only a few white candles in the room, and the place was far away, so he couldn't see clearly.
I just vaguely saw a photo of a woman wearing red clothes. Her eyes were deep and strange, very similar to the eyes of an old woman.
Hunter's heart moved. Does this woman have anything to do with the old lady?
As for the other people in the photo, they looked very blurry, and Hunter couldn't see clearly.
