Chapter 8: Dian
There are still ten minutes left in the half-hour search for objects.
The four people quickly gathered together based on location sharing. Just when Anna wanted to show off, she found that everyone had found an [object] that was suspected to be able to start practice.
According to their simple descriptions , it is not difficult to find objects. Once you get close to the location of the object, you can clearly feel the environmental changes brought by the object, and even the traction is very intuitive.
The four items are:
The "mahogany gold-inlaid box" found by Luo Di,
the "goat head six-pointed star metal box" found by Anna,
the "ancient book sealed with bones" found by Gao Yuxuan,
< br>The "red umbrella tied with an ink pipe thread" found by Wu Wen,
When the four items were taken out, the surveillance screen of the institute also immediately focused.
The employees who placed bets on the corresponding items on the spot all showed excited expressions, but in the end there was only one grand prize, and it all depended on how these young people chose.
Director Qin was among those who placed bets.
However, what she focused on was not the final bet, but a rare expression of worry. It seemed that one of the four items was quite dangerous.
Wu Wen's father has a close relationship with their research institute and can be regarded as a big sponsor. She must ensure that there are no problems in this practice.
“I hope you don’t select that thing~ Otherwise, you need to notify the urban medical team in advance to come and be on standby.”
...
Four different objects are placed on a flat stone.
There are eight minutes left, everyone will pick one of them to start the corresponding event.
"Everyone voted for or?" Squad leader Wu Wen solicited everyone's opinions.
Deputy squad leader Gao Yuxuan took the initiative to give his opinion: "I suggest that everyone give a quick explanation of these objects based on their own knowledge.
I prefer to choose [objects] with moderate difficulty. After all, this is our first practice, and it is also the first time for everyone to cooperate.
I personally feel that the red umbrella may correspond to an anomaly that cannot be killed, or even a spiritual structure, which is not a good choice.
The ancient books may correspond to abnormalities related to soul-calling rituals or curses, which are also difficult to deal with.
It is recommended to choose one of the two boxes. ”
“Don’t choose this metal box! I always feel something is wrong..."
The always bold blonde Anna recounted her experience of searching for the metal box, especially the "rattling sound", which still makes her shudder when she thinks about it now.
Rody was very interested in Anna's story and gave his own opinion, "The sheep's head and the six-pointed star may correspond to some kind of demon, a typical European and American exorcism type. Once you choose this object, Possession may occur, so it is really not recommended.”
Although he loves B-level movies, he has also seen other European and American horror movies and knows more about them.
The squad leader looked at everyone with a look of relief, and was especially happy that the two quiet boys were actively participating.
"Based on everyone's discussion, three were eliminated at once, leaving only Luo Di who found the wooden box as an option? By the way, Luo Di, did you encounter any strange situation when you found the wooden box? , or is it similar to Anna’s uneasiness?”
"There's just a bit of cold wind. I guess the simulation difficulty behind the wooden box is moderate."
The squad leader looked at the little time left and said, "Then it's decided! Who will try to activate this wooden box?" ”
“Wenwen, I remember you seem to be better than I understand these little things better.”
“Tsk~ Anna, don’t I want the two men to get involved? Forget it, let me do it.”
Wu Wen. Take out the Swiss Army Knife, put your ear against the surface of the wooden box, and after a while of skillful operation~click! The locked wooden box was opened.
Stored inside the wooden box is an old copper key.
At the same time, a radio sound came from the forest.
§The abnormal event has been activated, please go to the mountain top area as soon as possible§
......
Inside the research institute,
There were three employees who made the right choice and shared the winnings equally with excitement on their faces. ,
Although Director Qin did not choose the right one, he was relieved that the four of them did not choose the troublesome and dangerous object.
In a place in the research institute that no one noticed, an ordinary-looking employee watched all this silently and kept muttering:
"Obviously I have already got it... …Why not choose, why not choose?”
【山】
Anna stared at the unselected objects on the stone surface, "What should I do with these things? It doesn't feel good to just leave them here."
The squad leader nodded, "It's really not good~ How about we Just put these things back in their place on the way up the mountain, and you won’t waste a few minutes.”
“Yes.”
The red umbrella was found under a boulder, and it was still on the surface of the boulder. There are cinnabar painted with symbols.
The ancient books were found in abandoned tents covered with moss, with some scratch marks left by fingers around them.
In the end, the only thing left was the metal box in Anna's hand. After a climb, the team arrived at a bare forest glade. Not only do no plants grow here, there is also an inexplicable heat, with the temperature obviously several degrees higher than the surrounding area.
Anna's pace was very slow, steadily close to the seam in the ground. Just when she was about to put this evil thing back into place...
Click~
The weird rattling sound came again, and it even felt like it was rattling between Anna's skull.
Clear, sudden and frightening,
The surprise brought by the moment made Anna slip out of the iron box in her hand.
The iron box happened to fall into a crack in the ground, and the height of the fall was about half a meter.
【Boom! ] with a sound, he fell into the depths.
This move scared Anna and she quickly took out a flashlight to observe the situation below. Fortunately, the iron box was not broken or deformed, and the metal material was of excellent quality.
Thinking about it, this kind of metal box used to store objects must have been specially processed, and it cannot be broken so easily.
Perhaps considering the evil nature of this thing,
Anna bent down and was about to move the iron box to the original position,
Just when she was about to reach across the crack in the ground At that moment, a figure suddenly came over, bang! Grabbed her arm.
The person coming is none other than Luo Di,
He just saw something was wrong with Anna, and took the initiative to intervene out of safety concerns. At the same time, he also brought a branch and handed it to the other party.
“Don’t use your hands.”
“Oh.”
Anna took the branch and moved the metal box back to its original position, and the rattling in her ears stopped. There was no sound.
Just when she was about to say thank you to Roddy who had just helped, a pair of hands pushed her from behind and pushed her up the mountain quickly.
The person behind him was the squad leader, "Don't waste time, let's go up the mountain quickly."
Just when the four of them left this forest area where no weeds could grow, the branches that had been used to move the metal box Abandoned here, it didn't take long for it to completely dry up, or even completely carbonize and disappear with the wind.
……
[Object activated]
Two girls walking together were chatting about new simulations,
"Wenwen, how do you think the research institute simulated such a real [abnormal event]? Is it some brand-new biotechnology or something?"
"Maybe it's a corpse?"
" Corpses? You mean that the institute remade the corpses of the killed pseudo-human beings into controllable practice units? Yuan?"
"Yes~ This is so realistic."
"Eh~ It would be disgusting if it were true. However, we need to try to face real abnormal events after entering school. , and the pseudo-human beings who may appear around you at any time, it’s good to adapt in advance
Once this practice is popularized, people's survival rate will be greatly improved in the future. ”
Climbing this 100-meter hill is more time-consuming than expected,
and the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the temperature gradually drops,
occasionally there will be wind in the forest. There was a gloomy wind, and the clouds gradually became denser and covered the bright sun in the day.
Finally, the four of them crossed the last circle of trees in front of the top of the mountain, and an old Chinese-style mansion came into view.
>
It consists of front and rear yards, walls and a two-story main building.
There is also a conspicuous white lantern hanging on the door facing everyone.
The word "Dian" written on the surface of the lantern makes the three people with Chinese blood flowing in their bodies very uncomfortable.
Anna also studied related culture in textbooks, but she only knew that it was related to the dead and had no special feelings.
Mahogany solid door,
Decorated with gold,
a large copper lock was hung on it,
Wu Wen took out the copper key she had taken out from the box before, clicked it perfectly, and the lock opened.
It also means that this field practice has officially begun.
This book has been signed and everyone can vote monthly. In addition, there is a communication group for ordinary patients of this book under the introduction, and anyone can join in the discussion. The in-depth patient exchange building is still under construction and will welcome critically ill patients.
