Chapter 187 Knock on the Door
Chapter 187 Knock on the Door
Fatty Qian guessed right.
Luo Xi does know some information that others don't know.
However, he only obtained it just before entering the scene.
The source of the information was someone he had never expected.
"Fatty Qian, come with me for a walk. Remember, you are playing hide-and-seek just like me. You have to find someone. You will die if you can't find him." Luo Xi's words made Fatty Qian nervous again.
"Will I die if I can't find it?" Fatty Qian was stunned for a moment, then he realized, "Could it be that the death mechanism of the hide-and-seek game is not being found, but not being able to find it?"
"Yes." Luo Xi answered very concisely: "After being found in hide-and-seek, you must find the others. If you can't find them within the specified time, you will die."
"It's easy. I know where the others are hiding. I can just look for them."
"This is a game trap, because there is no limit to the number of people found. Just now, the little devil found you, and I blew myself up at the same time. It is equivalent to finding two people, and then it can hide. The people who are looking for people become you and me. And so on. In the end, the number of people responsible for finding people will continue to increase, and the number of people hiding will inevitably decrease. In addition, only by finding someone else can you become a hider again. After the game is over, the person who is still a finder will die."
Luo Xi spoke very quickly, almost running.
Fatty Qian followed closely behind.
"In that case, why should we just go find someone? Why are we wandering around?"
"Because the person looking for someone has an advantage." Luo Xi had just said this when the door of the house in front was suddenly pushed open, and the tall and ferocious male ghost owner walked out carrying a person.
It's like carrying a chicken.
The man was already half dead, his body was covered in blood, his neck was being strangled, his eyes were wide open, and he could hardly breathe.
The evil ghost male owner of this household was extremely tall, estimated to be over 1.9 meters tall, with shoulders as broad as door panels. He had to lean sideways when going out, and he wore a plaid apron for cooking, which was covered with stains and black blood from long-term use.
It has a scary look, a wide mouth and fangs, and its terrifying ghost-like appearance reveals an extreme danger.
In the other hand, he held a sharp boning knife.
When Fatty Qian saw this evil spirit, he almost cried out.
Luo Xi seemed to have anticipated it and covered the other person's mouth in advance.
The evil ghost turned his head, saw the two people, stared at each other for a second, and then looked away.
No attack.
"Go away and play."
The evil ghost cursed sinisterly.
Then he squatted on the ground in the corner and grabbed a dirty iron basin full of blood.
There was a strong smell of blood in that corner, but because of the distance, Luo Xi and the others had not yet reached there.
At this time Luo Xi walked over quickly and looked at the person who was caught by the evil spirit.
"Hypnotist?" Luo Xi asked.
The man who recalled the past was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and wanted to speak, but no words came out, with a look of help in his eyes.
Luo Xi sighed and left before the evil ghost master went crazy.
"You coward, it's so difficult for you to kill a chicken. I don't know why I fell in love with you back then." The door of that house was not closed, and at this moment a woman's sarcastic curse came from inside.
Fatty Qian subconsciously went to look, but was pulled away by Luo Xi.
The evil ghost master over there was already cursing and stabbed the neck of the man he had captured, letting his blood flow and then ripped open his stomach.
This scene, just listening to the sound is enough to make people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Fuck, this is so exciting." Fatty Qian reached out and touched his face, sweating all over.
He's not stupid.
Luo Xi just said that the "Finder" has a special advantage. Now it seems that he will not be attacked by the residents of this "Haunted Building".
But the identity of 'person finder' is time-limited.
Once it fails and no 'hider' is found to replace the identity, the person will die miserably.
As for the unlucky guy who was disemboweled just now, he was probably the memory collector who came in from the Awakener Association earlier.
With this outcome, it is foreseeable what will happen to the other missing persons.
"According to the information they originally provided, there was no danger on the first floor, and there were no residents. But now there are, and it seems that these residents are not very friendly." Luo Xi said, and the fat man Qian next to him had a wonderful expression: "Luo Ju, you are polite, are they not very friendly? They are even scarier than evil spirits, and this is only the first floor."
What this means is that I dare not imagine what I will encounter on the second, third, or higher floors.
"Are you scared?" Luo Xi glanced at Fatty Qian and said, "It's not too late to exit now. You are now a seeker, so you can quickly return along the original route. After leaving the scene, the identity restriction will automatically disappear."
"Luo Ju, what are you talking about? I, Qian Lejin, am not the kind of person who is afraid of death and abandons my brothers. I tell you, although I admire you, Luo Ju, you can't insult me." Fatty Qian looked stubborn.
"If you're not afraid, go knock on every door!" This is what Luo Xi was waiting for.
Fatty Qian was stunned. Knock on the door?
Still knocking on every door?
Isn't this courting death?
But the next second, Fatty Qian reacted, shouted, rushed over, and really started knocking on doors every day.
Because at that moment, he understood what Luo Xi meant.
While I still have the identity of a finder, I must make the most of it. The 'finder' will not be attacked by the residents of the building for the time being. In this case, I might as well be bold and wild and take this opportunity to investigate the situation of all residents.
You can also find someone by the way.
Just now, Luo Xi was confirming whether the captured memory collector was a hypnotist.
Just ask directly, the evil ghost male owner didn't touch them.
This means that although the plan may seem crazy, it is actually quite safe and secure.
So the entire first floor of Area A was filled with the sound of knocking on doors.
Luo Xi is behind.
If the resident's door is open, he will look for an opportunity to observe, and he will even quickly enter and exit when he is sure it is safe.
This behavior is like licking blood from the tip of a knife.
The word 'exciting' can no longer be used to describe it.
Without concentration and rationality far beyond that of ordinary people, it would be impossible to accomplish this task.
An old lady with a bird-like face was holding a bloody knife in one hand, and a piece of bloody human skin in the other hand; there was also a hostess whose neck was almost chopped off, with one hand holding her head that might fall off at any time, and the other hand holding a large soup spoon, it seemed that she was cooking.
As for what is cooking in the soup pot on the stove in the house, perhaps only she herself knows.
There are several similar evil spirits.
Fatty Qian knocked on seven or eight doors along the way, and at least half of them were opened. Some evil spirits came out to check the situation, while for others, the doors were just open and there seemed to be no one in the room.
Luo Xi observed and recorded quickly. He saw the opportunity and entered the room of the bird-faced old lady. After a quick search, he found a skinned corpse inside. Judging from some physical features, it should be a female.
But it was completely unrecognizable.
There is a small pair of black scissors on the table over there.
Luo Xi reached out and picked it up, and immediately got a hint about the card item.
[Flesh Tailor's Scissors], spare item, can be carded (concrete), this is a pair of scissors that is very suitable for cutting human skin, very sharp, be careful when using it, because it may cut your skin inadvertently - sometimes, you will feel that it is alive.
nice one.
Luo Xi simply turned it into a card and took it away.
Stealing was part of his plan.
There’s more good stuff in the house.
Luo Xi also saw an unfinished human skin vest.
Apparently the bird-faced old lady was making this vest.
Touch, also a card prop, take it away.
[Human Skin Vest], made by the Bird-Faced Old Lady, is not finished yet, but it is already wearable. It can cover up the human scent and make you smell more like "them" - please note that this vest is unisex.
Apart from these two things, Luo Xi didn't find anything else, or rather, he didn't have time.
Running out quickly, Luo Xi almost bumped into the old lady with a bird face.
The latter was stunned, stared at Luo Xi with its terrifying bird face for a while, and immediately rushed into the house, while Luo Xi ran even faster.
What would be the other party’s reaction if they knew someone had stolen their things?
"Fatty, go upstairs!"
Luo Xi yelled.
He originally planned to go to other rooms, but to be on the safe side, it was safer to go to the second floor.
Sure enough, when Luo Xi ran to the stairs, he heard the horrible roar and curses of the bird-faced old lady from behind.
The other party rushed out.
The speed is so fast that it is hard to believe.
But Luo Xi had already gone up to the second floor by then, and hid with the fat man on his left and right.
Fortunately, the old lady with the bird face did not come up.
After confirming this, Luo Xi realized something.
"They can't cross floors!"
