Chapter 515 Old Woman
It keeps raining outside.
Du Lai put on the hat on his hoodie, dressed in unremarkable gray, and ran forward in the rainy night.
The melodious female voice continued intermittently, weeping and complaining, just like the cool autumn rain, lingering and lingering with a chill.
He followed the sound and ran to the courtyard wall of a house. When he realized that the sound was nearby, he deliberately slowed down and quietly looked for the woman singing the opera.
But it was too dark.
It was raining and there were no lights nearby. The whole village was dark and it was difficult to see the road clearly.
Just as he was hesitating, he felt that the voice was suddenly much closer!
It seemed like he was behind him all of a sudden!
Du Lai was horrified, ran a few steps and hid behind a pile of straw nearby!
Not long after I squatted down, I heard the sound of wheels squeaking——
A skinny old woman, pushing a cart, walked step by step from the corner of the house!
Du Lai's whole body was tense with nerves. He leaned down even lower and stared at the old woman without blinking!
It was a dim rainy night, and I couldn't see the old woman's face clearly. I just felt that she was very old, very old... She was stooped and skinny, with a few strands of white hair messy on her shoulders. She walked stiffly and staggeringly, not like a living person.
The cart was also in a state of decay, soaked by the rain and covered with mud, as if it had been dug out of the soil.
The cart was covered with a straw mat that was also soaked. Under the straw mat, there was a faint skeleton.
——There was a girl, Mrs. Li, who was transporting corpses from the east of the village to the west of the village, and then from the west of the village to the east of the village. Day after day, there was no rest...
If we reason based on the opera script Fu Miaoxue said, then the old woman pushing the trolley in front of us is Li, and the corpse on the trolley is Li's husband.
Du Lai held his breath and watched the old woman push the trolley over.
She sang as she walked, with a melodious tone and a hoarse voice. It was hard to imagine that such a tone could spread so far, from the village to the wing in the old scholar's backyard.
However, in the game, no matter how bizarre things happen, they are not considered bizarre.
Du Lai waited there for a while, making sure that the sound was far enough away, quietly stood up, and then quickly returned to the old scholar's house.
…
During the time Du Lai left, Fu Miaoxue had been with Shen Mo and Bai Youwei. She didn't mind being a light bulb. It's better to be a lightbulb than to be alone in the house.
Bai Youwei asked her curiously: "Actually, in your case, you have died once. Why are you still so afraid of ghosts?"
"I died once, but I didn't turn into a ghost." Fu Miaoxue said with disgust, "I just turned into a doll!"
"You turned into a doll...so you lost the game?" Bai Youwei asked, "Did you enter the game with your boyfriend?"
"No." Fu Miaoxue shook her head and said calmly, "I entered the game alone. I am not as lucky as you. I entered the test game."
"I know a little bit about the test game... I heard that no one who entered the test game came out alive." Bai Youwei said slowly.
She remembered what the bunny-headed man had said.
It said that there are a lot of loopholes and bugs in the test games, so it is almost impossible to pass the level. Even if there are players who have passed the level, they will not be able to get out alive.
——It’s like dropping a group of rabbits into an unfinished experimental cabin. Even if one rabbit survives the experiment, is it qualified to survive?
Thinking about it now, the bunny-headed man seems to have never hesitated to tell them about the game system, while other inspectors either kept it secret or didn't mention it at all...
Why does it do this? Is its authority high enough, or...does it have another purpose?
