Chapter 234 I've Been With You For A Long Time
Chapter 234 I've Been With You For A Long Time
"He's still alive, but he's tied up and gagged. The three of us don't know what to do."
"Untie him and give him the phone."
"understood."
Ke Lan did not doubt Luo Xi's words. It can be said that after he figured out the real solution to the problem in the tenth room, he had unconditional belief in Luo Xi.
If before I was 99% submissive, but still had that little bit of unwillingness, now I am completely 100% convinced.
Ke Lan has thought it through.
From now on, just like Fatty Qian, you will be called Luo Xi or Luo Ju.
Just hang out with him.
Just when Ke Lan was about to go back, someone suddenly called him from the scene entrance which was also locked.
"Ke Lan?"
"Who?" Ke Lan shuddered with fear.
He could tell it was a woman's voice, but where did the women come from in this place?
Turning his head, he saw a man banging on the iron gate and calling his name at the entrance of "The Haunted Mansion".
The voice sounds familiar.
Take a closer look.
"Oh my god, Wu Rui? You, aren't you dead?" Ke Lan widened her eyes, looking horrified.
"Yes, that's what happened. According to what you said, after I was replaced by a ghost, I hid in the bed of a room. I didn't dare to move because there were ghosts outside. Later, I remembered some strange memories, had a splitting headache and bled. It was the Rat Taoist who saved me and we hid in the [hiding place inside the door] together. You know, after I got the card ring, the card effect was upgraded. I can enter three times in a cycle day, and I can bring other people in."
Wu Rui talks to Luo Xi on the phone.
She explained the incident as briefly as possible.
Next to it was a white-haired mouse wearing a Taoist robe, only a little over a foot tall, with an expression and posture that were extremely arrogant.
In the room, Fatty Qian had used tools to cut the wire that bound the old man. The latter walked out with a gloomy face, and his eyes swept over everyone, finally falling on Rat Taoist.
"Jia Zi, what are you doing?"
"Old Yao, I thought you were killed by Jiashen, are you still alive?"
"Do you really want me to die?" The old man called Lao Yao glared and then waved his hand. The Rat Taoist understood and immediately came over. The man and the rat went to the side and talked in a low voice. It was obvious that they didn't want others to hear them.
At this moment, Wu Rui walked up to the man and the rat with the phone and handed the phone to Old Yao.
"He wants to talk to you!"
Wu Rui observed the old man while she was talking. He really looked like one of those retired uncles in an ordinary community, wearing big shorts, flip-flops, a slightly dirty vest, rough hands, and unkempt appearance.
Old Yao glanced at Wu Rui with an inexplicable look in his eyes, as if he felt helplessness and also a sense of emotion.
He reached out to take the phone and walked aside.
"Hey!"
"Old Yao, huh?"
"Yes!"
"How much do you know about the current situation?"
"Please be clear about what the situation is over there!"
"The female ghost and the child entered Yongge Supermarket."
"I see. I guess you know the current situation, so let's follow the usual practice. What should I do now?"
"I'd like to hear your advice."
"No, I won't offer any advice, especially during this special period. I can only remind you that I have been with you for a long time and have always only accepted instructions. So, what are your instructions now?"
"Have you always been accepting orders? Then, have you completed the previous orders?"
"This... not yet!"
"Then please continue. In addition, I need you to report this rebellion to your current superior immediately."
"My superior is Jiashen!"
"Great, then I'll report it to the higher authorities and try to gain merit this time, get a promotion, and take over his position."
"I don't want to be a monkey, but I know what to do and this is my plan."
"That's it, do you have anything else to say to me?"
".It's nice to see you again, sir!"
"goodbye!"
"Wait a minute, Jiazi wants to talk to you."
"Okay, give him the phone."
Soon, an urgent voice came from the phone.
"Hello, hello, Luo Xi, I'm Jiazi. Let me tell you, Jiashen is crazy. He and another madman are going to rebel. They will definitely make a big mess. They actually used the method you left behind to create a being equivalent to an immortal, that is, the ghost mother. But you know they can't succeed. If they make a mess, it will implicate everyone."
"Is there anything else?"
"Ah, it's gone!"
"Jia Zi, can I ask you a question?"
"You ask."
"Why are you and Ding Mao the only ones who can come out with that skin?"
"That idiot Ding Mao is crazy. All he wants is to become an immortal. As for me, my situation is a bit special. You can think of it as a willful act of pursuing freedom. In fact, both he and I ran away secretly, but for different purposes."
"Defected? Then what is your self-definition? Or, you can understand it as self-evaluation."
"Me? I'm a useless person. Don't count on me if you have any problems. I can't help you. At most, I can give you a reminder within my ability."
"If I asked you to come to me right now, would you come?" "No, I wouldn't."
"Okay, thank you for the reminder!"
Luo Xi hung up the phone.
The conversation between him and Lao Yao is obviously a bit confusing to most people, but if there are some preset conditions, the conversation is not confusing, but an effective exchange of key information.
However, I did gain something from the conversation with Jiazi.
"There's something wrong with this Old Yao. As for Jiazi, it's not normal either!" Luo Xi muttered as he searched in the Internet cafe.
There is a mirror in front of him.
Because he had used the [Bronze Mirror of Memory] before, the projection reflected in the mirror at this moment was the young lady in the red wedding dress.
Still in the shape of a big belly.
The other person, with her big belly in the mirror, stared at Luo Xi with a cold look.
His eyes were filled with hatred and madness.
However, Luo Xi didn't care about this at all. His mental state had already been riddled with holes, and he had become accustomed to staying rational and calm even in this deeply morbid and crazy state.
Now, 'Miss' has become his best conversation partner.
Sometimes when Luo Xi wants to talk, he doesn’t need the other party’s feedback. He just needs someone to listen to him, and those original personalities will express their opinions to a greater or lesser extent.
Some people may even foolishly mock and abuse others.
Luo Xi didn't like it. He preferred the honest spiritual personality of the eldest lady, a perfect listener who would not talk nonsense and would not tell others messages.
"They may not be friends, especially Lao Yao. He just said something that set up some protection mechanisms to prevent me from finding out if he was lying. However, they may not be enemies either. So is this situation a sudden accident, or is it a predetermined event that is destined to happen?"
Luo Xi found a hidden area in the Internet cafe.
In fact, it is the entrance to the second floor.
The door was locked of course, but Luo Xi found the key, opened the door, went up the silent stairs, and found another Internet area.
There aren't many machines here though.
There are only twelve computer slots.
The room was dim, and the exhaust fan on the side wall kept turning, as if dividing the light coming in from outside into segments.
At this moment, there were already five people sitting on it, including old men and children.
"This child is probably only five or six years old at most?" Luo Xi leaned over to take a look. They entered the Yongge Supermarket just like the people below.
"Is this the position where Jiachen and the others are? But they all look like normal people, so the half-human, half-beast appearance of Liuding and Liujia is only suitable for Yongge Supermarket? But they can use some means to bring that skin out, but this behavior is obviously against the rules and is considered defection."
Such as Jiazi and Dingmao.
Luo Xi continued to explore.
At this moment, a young man sitting on the seat over there suddenly tilted his body and collapsed on the seat.
Luo Xi walked over and took a look. The other person's skin was visibly pale and bloodless, as if something had sucked all the blood out of his body in a short period of time. His skin suddenly withered, his mouth opened, his eyes rolled up, and his eye sockets were dark and sunken.
"Died in Yongge Supermarket? This is one of the Six Ding and Six Jia. So, the action has already begun inside."
Luo Xi did not move the body, but continued to explore the second floor of the Internet cafe. Finally, he found something valuable.
The computer room of the Internet cafe.
It's locked, but can be opened with the key found in the network administrator's drawer.
After opening it, Luo Xi was stunned by the scene inside.
He was not the kind of person who would be easily frightened by a scene, so he was not actually afraid, just surprised.
Because in this room with a sign saying "No entry to the computer room", there is actually a tree.
A very large tree with lush branches and leaves.
But if you look closely, you will find that this is not a tree in the ordinary sense. The trunk, the exposed and tangled roots, and the branches are all made of flesh and blood. The smaller leaves on it look like half an arm.
There may be thousands of these densely packed and stacked arms, connected by palms and fingers, moving in a regular pattern, as if they are playing some complex music in the air.
These arms reminded Luo Xi of the 'mouse' in the Internet cafe.
There are still 'several people' hanging on this tree.
But these people are more miserable.
Almost all of them were hung there by the skull held by an arm with sharp fingers piercing into the skull, and possibly even into the brain tissue inside.
There is no doubt that this scene is very weird and terrifying.
It will bring great discomfort and some psychological implications of fear to normal people.
Because the most terrifying thing is that these people are all alive.
This can be seen from their sometimes ferocious expressions and twitching limbs.
Luo Xi walked in. He observed very carefully, so he quickly noticed that those who had their brain tissue pierced by fingers all had card rings.
They even held cards in their hands.
At this moment, some arms on the flesh and blood tree suddenly grabbed Luo Xi.
The five fingers made into claws and grabbed towards the head.
Luo Xi, who had been prepared, immediately rolled backwards, narrowly avoiding the attack and retreating out of the door.
All of a sudden, the arm inside calmed down and returned to its original unconscious swinging state.
Luo Xi was planning to go in again.
Although it was dangerous, he had his reasons for going in.
Because the person who was hung up was holding a piece of [Amnesia] in his hand.
