Chapter 491 Only You Are Left

“Fan Ru! Fan Ru! I’m here!”

No matter how complicated and bizarre things become, the most basic survival ability of a human being is still there.

Being trapped in a piece of human skin is scary enough, but Su Qin’er doesn’t have much time to be afraid.

She shouted Fan Ru’s name loudly, trying to return to the outside world according to the previous “plot”.

However, since things are going according to the plot, her call for help is naturally useless.

Brother Xiaolin is the most direct witness of the two incidents.

He is still the same as last time, sitting on the ground looking at the weird corpse and the even weirder “woohoo” sound inside.

Memories seem to have been erased from his mind.

Brother Xiaolin and Xiaomo don’t remember what they are experiencing now. It has already happened two minutes ago.

They are like NPCs arranged in advance in this plot, completely lost in it, and at the mercy of some unknown will.

After all, only the clerks are special.

Fan Ru greedily inhaled the air. Even in this corridor full of red light, the air was not fresh.

Everything sealed in the human skin seemed like a nightmare, which made her unbearable to recall.

But everything had to face reality.

She woke up suddenly and realized that she was at the entrance of this corridor.

Su Qin'er disappeared, and the surroundings were so strange.

After a moment of relaxation, Fan Ru tensed up again.

She slowly raised her hands, which were only red, as if they were just illuminated by the light source.

But the fishy smell and the strange feeling clearly told her that everything before was not a dream, and her hands were full of blood.

The severe pain in the abdomen, the wound was torn again, and all the traces of struggle were there.

Fan Ru wanted to escape, but the pain and blood forced her to use her reason to think about everything.

Things were not complicated.

In just a few breaths, she guessed everything.

"Loop...

The first time I was pulled into the human skin was when I was pulled into it. Su Qin'er came to save me and we ended up swapping places.

Everything, started over again."

Fan Ru collapsed on the ground in frustration, and she looked away into the darkness in the corridor.

There seemed to be a voice there, calling her name, but it was not clear, like an illusion.

"Miss Su..."

She struggled to get her phone out of her trouser pocket, and after a moment of hesitation, she dialed a number.

The fluorescent light of the phone illuminated her face, and the ringing sound became longer and longer, but no one answered.

Until a female voice came out of the microphone, as mechanical as a monster without emotions:

"Sorry, no one is answering the call you dialed, please call again later."

Fan Ru called back in surprise, but the ending was the same.

"Could it be that the store manager also encountered a ghost in the Kapok Photo Studio..."

Her face became more and more painful, and she kept cursing while covering her more painful wound.

The horror of scolding ghosts, Su Qin'er's unnecessary heroism, Ji Li's strong and arbitrary, and his own incompetence...

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sound in the corridor gradually disappeared.

Fan Ru raised his head expressionlessly and looked at the room with the door open. Finally, he slowly stood up and walked forward firmly.

"The manager can do it, and even Su Qin'er can come to save me alone. I can do it too!

Loop, loop!

Isn't it just breaking the cycle? I can do it!"

When her shadow blocked the light source, Xiao Lin still sat on the ground in a stiff posture.

Not far from him, the timid girl had fallen into a coma.

The room was strangely quiet, and even the corpse stopped struggling, because Su Qin'er inside did not continue to struggle.

Fan Ru took a deep breath, walked forward slowly, and picked up the knife that Su Qin'er had left behind from the ground.

As if sensing someone coming, the human skin trembled again.

"Sister Fan? Is it Sister Fan?"

Fan Ru was listening outside. She couldn't hear clearly but could roughly grasp that it was her name.

"It's me. I'm here to save you."

She slowly raised the knife in her hand, but stopped when aiming at the black lines, and said in a deep voice:

"You shrink your body first. The last time we swapped positions, our hands touched each other.

This time we won't make any contact. I'll help you cut the black lines, and you'll crawl out later."

The rest was not in vain. Fan Ru understood one thing, that is, they had a lot of time.

Isn't it just a position swap and repeated cycles?

It's not really killing people.

At worst, they will fail again and again. When all possibilities are eliminated, there is always a chance to succeed!

Su Qin'er in the human skin certainly agreed with this, and she shrank her limbs obediently and stopped moving.

Fan Ru wiped the sweat on her face with her arm, stared at the black lines without blinking, and held the knife very firmly.

One by one, the black lines were cut open by her knife, and the human skin was "cut open"...

Time passed slowly.

When the whole human skin showed signs of loosening, Fan Ru finally cut all the black lines, stepped back a few steps and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you come out now and try."

The person in the human skin had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Almost as soon as the voice fell, a hand rushed out first.

For people who live outside the vast and free world, seconds are already like years, not to mention how much psychological pressure the inner side of the human body will have to bear.

Fan Ru looked at the scene where the two arms had been completely drilled out, and a smile appeared on his dirty face.

She was very happy, this was the first thing she did after entering the mission.

"Su Qin'er, you and I are really lucky this time. It's not difficult to set up this thing..."

The words were not spoken, and the happiness had not dissipated.

Everything for Fan Ru came to an abrupt end, and her vision spun again until she lost all consciousness.

The darkness was telling her that she still hadn't accomplished anything until now.

…

"Damn it! What triggered the cycle?"

Unlike those who were sealed in human skin, those who return to the outside world do not need to enter a coma.

Su Qin'er, who had just had a surprise escape, couldn't help but curse when she saw herself back at the entrance.

She was about to go crazy from the strange red light and this mysterious cycle.

"I know the answer. Do you want to make a deal with me? I can tell you how to crack it?"

The thought in her mind started to mess up again, and Su Qiner didn't want to deal with it.

She still doesn't know whether this thought is her hallucination or whether a ghost has entered her body.

But these are not important, she is anxious.

Without much thought, she re-entered the room of Prisoner No. 2.

"Fan Ru, are you in there?

This time I won't cut the thread for you. I will send you the knife and you can do it yourself! "

…

A few minutes later, Fan Ru's figure holding a knife appeared at the entrance.

She looked at the deep, dark red corridor, was stunned for a moment, let out an unwilling roar, and then ran into the room for the third time.

For the fourth time, Su Qin'er came to the entrance;

The fifth time, Fan Ru appeared at the entrance;

For the sixth time, Su Qin'er returned to the entrance...

Until, after a complete cycle of seven times, Fan Ru's body had all turned red.

She clutched the knife and stared at the lamp dully and numbly, her whole body seemed to be trapped in a magic barrier.

For too long, being closed, cleared, and tortured... has long squeezed the nerves of living people to the limit.

Fan Ru's aura was particularly thick, and he tried all possible methods, but they all failed, failed, failed!

Staring at the red light, she didn't choose to move this time.

…

The human skin is still the same human skin, intact.

Brother Xiao Lin and Xiao Mo are like soulless dolls, placed in the corner of this cycle to watch everything.

Su Qin'er has forgotten how many times she has returned to this disgusting human skin. She only knows that she can no longer bear the confinement here.

Many thoughts are quarreling and fighting in my mind. There are old voices, young voices, rough male voices, shrill female voices...

Her head really hurt, but Su Qin'er couldn't help but comfort her.

She could only passively wait for rescue, waiting for Fan Ru to come again and carry out actions that would eventually fail, so that she could be sealed into human skin instead.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

The volume of the quarrel in her brain became lower and lower, and Su Qin'er suddenly shuddered in the darkness.

"It's been a long time, why hasn't Fan Ru come yet this time?"

This weird human skin is like a soft coffin, a yoke that can never be escaped, burying humans alive...

If this cycle is destined to be unsolvable, then why would Fan Ru come to save her again?

Human nature and reason have long been worn away in repeated cycles.

If someone was really going to be trapped to death forever, Fan Ru naturally hoped that that person wouldn't be herself!

Su Qin'er panicked, and all the voices in her mind faded into nothingness, except for her own lonely and terrifying breathing.

In this world, there is only a piece of human skin left, and the self in the human skin...
