Chapter 626

The girl called the young man's name.

She stretched out her hand towards him, and her white little hand crossed the screen and really appeared in the room.

"you……"

The surreal scene made Satoshi Miyake, who was just an ordinary worker, not sure how to react.

His consciousness was still awake. After his body and soul were infiltrated by some unknown force, even if he really came into contact with this existence beyond common sense, he still maintained his clear self-awareness and was not immediately transformed into something else. state.

However, some things are still accumulating little by little.

As the pictures and sounds on the TV continued to ring.

As his understanding of the girl in the picture became richer and richer.

After he truly realized the other party's abnormality and entered the [interaction] state.

Something that was suppressed and difficult to truly release had begun to spread bit by bit in this dark little rental house.

[ZiZiZiZiZiZiZi——! ! ! 】

Then, blood-red light covered it in an instant.

Amidst the strong noise, the white corridor and the beautiful girl were instantly distorted. Mismatched, unreadable text and a blood-red background covered everything. Rows of garbled characters continued to appear and disappear, and missing color blocks appeared repeatedly on the screen. Appearing and then recovering, Miyake Satoshi couldn't help but cover his ears, and subconsciously avoided the TV again.

Then, when he turned his eyes back to the TV, he found that among the jumbled words, a line of black text gradually changed and became legible.

【Emergency notice...】

【Emergency notice...】

The words are constantly changing, and in the process, there will be weird phenomena like being pulled and torn from time to time, but they will quickly recover the next moment.

Those twisted garbled characters will intersect with these words from time to time, as if they are trying to interfere with the text content, or they are trying to reconstruct a person's body, gradually integrating and becoming clear in the constant changes.

【Please...stay at home...】

【When you stay at home...you are safe...Zi...】

[Please close... Zizi... Please close the doors and windows... If there are locks... Please lock the doors and windows... Make sure the house is in a locked state...]

What is this? Disaster avoidance guide? Why are you acting so strangely?

Miyake Satoshi instinctively felt a strong emotion of fear. The blood-red background and twisted black text made him extremely uneasy, as if he was being targeted by something very scary. So he struggled to stand up, and he couldn't help but want to escape from the house.

[If you are not at home...not indoors...please look for...find an indoor environment that can isolate you from the outside world...]

[Please... sizzle... look for an indoor environment that you think... can withstand external impacts... sizzle...]

[Please remember that you are not... not... not sick... you do not need to see a doctor... no matter what... you do not need... no need... no need no need no need no need...]

The text on the TV screen changed more and more intensely.

Those words began to be repeated over and over again, and gradually Miyake found that he could hear a voice that sounded like someone was whispering those words. It didn't sound like it was coming from the TV, it felt like someone in the room was reciting those words, someone he couldn't see, but right next to him.

What's going on?

What happened?

[No need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need, no need...]

Miyake Satoshi, whose mind became increasingly confused, took a step back.

And in the blood-red background of the TV screen, only the three words "Not needed" were left and were refreshed repeatedly, and all other words became non-existent.

Jingle bell——

The cell phone on the sofa rang.

He stared at the TV for a while, then trembled all over. He looked at the screen of his mobile phone and found that the text displayed on the screen was also distorted and confusing, but the content inside was completely different from what was on the TV just now.

[Run, Satoshi Miyake! 】

【Don't stay at home, don't stay at home, don't stay at home! 】

【It's by your side now! It's right in your home! Run away! Get out! ! ! 】

This, what's going on?

The trembling Miyake Satoshi suspected that he had gone crazy, or that he had worked too much overtime and started to have nightmares.

But after seeing this line of text, he really heard the sound.

Crunch - squeak -

It sounded like something scraping on the floor.

It sounded like something was slowly crawling towards him.

So he ignored the text that continued to display on the TV screen and looked at the source of the sound.

He saw a severed hand.

In the blood-red TV light, in the dim pool of blood, bit by bit, the severed hand crawled toward him.

"Ah...ah..."

There seemed to be some noise coming from the bedroom door not far away, as if something was about to come out of it.

There seemed to be the sound of something coming out from the back of the sofa behind me.

All his senses were on alert at this moment, telling Satoshi Miyake that he must escape.

So he rolled and crawled around the ground where the severed hands were crawling, and rushed toward the door with messy steps. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes before he reached out and grabbed the door handle.

Squeak——

The door slowly opened the next moment.

Warm white light also enveloped his body.

Ah...ah...I feel it...

[Yes, come to us, we will take you to a happy future]

That's right... that's right... there's no need to think about anything anymore...

[Let the doctor heal you, let the doctor save you, let the doctor help you become truly perfect]

Just go forward...just go forward...it's just ahead...it's...

[Yes, come with us, welcome to our world, welcome to the happy world]

Step by step up the stairs.

In the soft light, Miyake Satoshi's figure disappeared into the darkness at the end.

welcome to the happy world

And in the empty room, in front of the clean floor, twisted and confusing text continued to flash on the screen.

[Don’t believe...the abnormal...phenomenon that appears indoors...]

[Don’t trust... hospitals... don’t continue to communicate... don’t... communicate with them... communicate with them...]

[Rescue... will come... will come... doctors will come to save you...]

It's like there are two forces fighting each other, constantly flashing and intersecting back and forth.

Someone's door is opened.

There was a gentle knock on someone's door.

Someone's voice sounded softly outside the door.

More things are still dormant in the darkness, still waiting quietly.

The distorted screen flashes with distorted colors of red and white.

On the TV screens of every household in this building, on all electronic devices, in this dark city, light is flickering all the time.

And as another person opened the door in fear or confusion, the darkness hidden outside the door spread silently.

Chapter 2 The bloody announcement broadcast throughout the city and the moment of struggle for survival

Hua la la—hushing lala—

Continuous heavy rain continued to wash away the dark city.

The power has been cut off, all buildings have lost their lights, and all roads have plunged into complete darkness. Only dark clouds cover everything, and more raindrops continue to be released amidst the howling wind, as if to destroy this place. The city was completely submerged.

【Urgent notice! 】

Such a line of large characters lit up on the blood-red screen, and at the same time, a cold voice that sounded like a young girl read out this line of text.

【Urgent notice! 】

Tick ​​tock—tick tock—

Accompanied by the sound of water dripping one after another, Hongxia, whose clothes were wet in many places, sat in front of the bar of Fanxing Vehouse, stepping on the water that had reached her ankles, shivering slightly and looking at the person who placed it. There was a laptop on the bar, looking at the distorted text displayed on the computer screen.

Beside her, Ryo Yamada, who was in the same band as Hongxia, and her sister Hoshika Ijichi, who were a few years older than her, were also sitting on the temporary seats, watching what was displayed on the computer screen. Handwriting, listening to the voice of the girl who recited the text word by word without emotion.

"call……"

Hongxia could feel her body shaking slightly.

The cold touch brought by the rain was one thing, and Yili pushed back into the store and fell on the ground with water all over her body when she realized something was wrong. But the girl knew that the reason why her body was shaking non-stop was ultimately because What's happening right now.

[It is now being broadcast throughout the city. Citizens who can listen to this broadcast or see related channels are asked not to change the frequency band. Please be sure to listen and watch the content of this frequency band carefully]

On the blood-red screen, rows of text scrolled continuously.

Occasionally, the words seem to be disturbed by some force, resulting in temporary garbled or distorted characters. However, for some reason, in the underground space where Hong Xia and others are, this interference phenomenon is very rare, and even if it occurs, it cannot affect the entire broadcast for a long time. Therefore, the three people present were able to read the notice completely without missing anything due to strange interference.

Although if she could, Hong Xia didn't want to see these things at all. She just hoped that once she closed her eyes, everything would be fine when she opened them again, and she could go back to the leisurely time of going to and from school, practicing drums and cooking. However, this idea is just an extravagant wish. Just like a few minutes ago, Yili pushed her into the stars, told her that she could never come out, then closed the door and broke the door lock so that it could not be opened, and then attacked an unknown enemy. I went forward, but even now I can't hear any movement, so I don't know what the situation is.

[A large-scale extremely dangerous accident is currently occurring in the Tokyo area. It has been determined that extremely dangerous hallucinogenic chemical gases have leaked into the city, and extremist terrorists and escaped dangerous animals are operating in the city. In order to ensure the personal safety of all citizens, Please be sure to abide by the published contents of this emergency notice]

After the next line of text scrolled out, Hong Xia felt that there was a hint of helplessness in the voice of the girl who read the subtitles. She didn't know if it was her imagination.

Hallucinogenic chemical gas? terrorist? A dangerous animal on the loose?

No, no, no, even though she only saw it from a distance, Hong Xia was sure that what she saw could not be explained by this reason. But if this is the case, then why is this strange broadcast explained with such an inexplicable excuse? Obviously anyone who has had a little exposure to those things will immediately understand that it is fake, right?

"What nonsense is this thing talking about? Can terrorists fly?"

Hong Xia was still thinking doubtfully in her heart, but her sister Xing Ge, who was sitting next to her, had become irritable. She spoke through gritted teeth and wanted to stand up and leave. Unlike the two girls who had already been in contact with Kita and knew some of the real situation, Xinge himself knew nothing from the beginning to the end. It was not until he saw Ichiri rushing up to knock over the thing coming down the stairs a few minutes ago. Only then did she finally realize that there was something beyond her knowledge in the world.

"Don't go, sister, let's finish reading this thing first. Since Porchi-chan told us that we must finish reading this thing before disappearing, she must have her reasons. Let's finish reading it first and then let's talk."

Stretching out her hand, Hongxia grabbed Xingge who wanted to leave and patiently persuaded her.

"...I probably understand what is going on. Kita once said something about this situation. Do you remember Hongxia? She told us that some things will threaten our lives in extremely weird ways. When encountering this When planting things, we must avoid recognizing the other person, thinking about the situation related to the other person, and even denying the other person's existence in our hearts. Otherwise, the more we think about those things, the more profound impressions we will create in our hearts. The threat to us will become greater.”

Yamada Ryo, who had been sitting quietly, spoke softly at this moment. She rarely said so many words in one breath, so she actually breathed a little after finishing speaking. Hongxia, who had also never heard her friend speak like this, was slightly startled, and quickly recalled what Kita had told them before.

I really didn’t expect that the knowledge I gained then would come in handy so quickly.

While the girls were hesitating and thinking, the text on the computer screen scrolled again, and new content appeared.

[1. All citizens are requested to immediately stop all outdoor activities and be sure to stay at home or in a closed indoor environment that you are familiar with]

This time, the specific announcement content appeared, and the first one that appeared immediately made Hongxia nervous.

Although Fanxing's vehouse is located just downstairs from his home, it really can't be considered a "home". However, this can be regarded as a "familiar indoor environment", and there is only one door for entry and exit, and that door has been damaged from the outside and cannot be opened at all.

[2. Please ensure that you have blocked indoor doors and windows. Please be sure to block all passages in your indoor space that connect to the outdoor environment. The types of passages include but are not limited to doors, windows, small movable doors for cats and dogs to pass through, skylights, etc. In ordinary people's perception, all passages that can be passed by creatures of a certain size must be blocked. It doesn’t need to be a tight blockade, as long as you can make sure it is indeed locked or appears to be completely locked and blocked]

"Inside the Stars, well, I remember there are no windows here, right? It's a basement after all."

As the second announcement appeared, Hongxia looked up nervously and looked around, but as she followed, she remembered the situation in her own vehouse, so she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"... There is a window in the toilet, which is set up for ventilation. It is very small and can only accommodate a child of five or six years old at most, and the window is close to the ceiling. But I don't remember whether I closed the window or not. Sometimes the windows will be opened for ventilation.”

Xing Ge, who was standing next to her because she was pulled by Hong Xia, shook his head slightly and turned to look at the dark corner on the side of the vehouse with a solemn expression, looking at the closed toilet door.

"It's closed, Pochi said before he left."

Liang spoke again. Yili left in a hurry a few minutes ago, but she still remembered the other person's sudden words like "The windows have been closed for you" before leaving, so she immediately thought of it.

It seems that Yili is quite familiar with the situation of this store. He even knows where there are windows and can handle the problems in advance.

However, I always felt that it was quite strange. Whether it was the unpredictable thing that rushed towards the terrifying thing that attacked the stars and quickly knocked it down and took it away, or the words that he said without beginning or end before leaving, everything was left to Liang. A weird feeling. It was as if all of this had been rehearsed several times, so Yili could easily defeat enemies and eliminate hidden dangers like a skilled actor, while she and Hongxia Xingge were just temporary extras who knew nothing about it, so I can only watch others perform.

[3. If you are not in an indoor environment at this time and cannot return to your home or a familiar indoor environment as soon as possible, please find a place that can be isolated from the outside world and will not be easily invaded by external forces and can be blocked as soon as possible. indoor environment. Under the current situation, only this environment can temporarily guarantee your personal safety]
