Chapter 628

No, no matter how much I think about it, this kind of thing is impossible, right?

I am just an ordinary person. If I were really hit by some attack and flew dozens of meters away and crashed through a window, I would probably be dead when I landed. It is impossible for me to wake up, and I just feel that my ankle is broken, right? After all, I am not a superhero like Captain America, so it is unreasonable for me to withstand such an attack.

No, maybe not necessarily. After all, Komiko seemed to have punched the thing in the dark, and the fist directly collapsed the floor of the living room, which looked super scary like the Hulk. Maybe I have similar abilities, but I didn't know it before.

The girl, who was soaked all over, shrank and picked up her mobile phone, thinking about it while continuing to walk slowly forward.

For Yurikawa Hana, who had been a carefree and greedy girl before today, it was not easy to correctly recognize the current situation. After all, she has always been a fool who doesn't like to think. But for the abnormal situation that was already in front of her, she could still clearly realize that now was not the time to play around. This city that she was once familiar with was probably lurking everywhere with terrible monsters that could take people's lives.

I vaguely remembered that before being blown away by the shock wave, I seemed to hear Xiao Jianzi say to me, "Believe the text with a red background." So, these red-background alarm announcements displayed on my phone should be trustworthy, right?

Although thinking so, Xiaohua still felt very unreal. She really couldn't understand why the world suddenly became like this, why such a nightmare happened. Especially Xiao Jianzi, she didn't have any fear when dealing with those terrible things, and she could really fight against those things that didn't look like normal people could deal with. What the hell... Woo, never mind, never mind, find a way to survive first.

Thinking of this, Xiaohua noticed that the vague sound in the phone had changed, so she picked it up and looked at it carefully.

[Stop... stop all... outdoor activities... stay at home... stay... stay... in a familiar... enclosed... indoor environment...]

This phone belongs to Xiaohua. Compared with Xiaohua, who had a broken ankle, this phone was much more miserable after being thrown and rained on for a long time, which is equivalent to being soaked in water. It should be impossible to start it. But the fact is that since the moment Xiaohua woke up, this thing has been emitting a faint red light and showing chaotic and almost unrecognizable text. At the same time, there was a voice that sounded like someone reading something from the phone, but Xiaohua couldn't hear the voice clearly. Even if she put the phone to her ear, she could only hear bursts of electrical noise, as if something was interfering with the voice.

"Wow, this is so messy, I don't understand it. Does it mean to stay indoors?"

In order to recognize the blurred and intertwined text on the screen, the girl spent a considerable amount of time. Fortunately, although the whole thing is almost unrecognizable, there is a small part of the text that can be barely interpreted every time, so Xiaohua can still understand what this thing wants to express.

In short, you can't stay outdoors, you must find an indoor environment to stay, and it is best to lock the doors and windows, so that it seems that those terrifying things can't be blocked from coming in.

Is it really possible?

Xiao Jianzi smashed the living room with one punch to deal with that thing, and a door and a window can actually stop that thing?

The girl felt unreliable from the bottom of her heart, but she had no other choice at the moment, so she could only choose to believe it and start looking for an indoor environment that could be entered.

Speaking of which, where am I now?

Xiaohua looked around. Under the double debuff of heavy rain and darkness, she couldn't even see what the opposite side of the street looked like. Fortunately, this mobile phone that always emitted a blood-red light provided some lighting, so Xiaohua could still see the road at this time, and didn't walk blindly in absolute darkness.

Well, I can't see which street I'm on, but from the looks of the surroundings, I should still be in the residential area where Xiao Jianzi lives.

I don't know how Xiao Jianzi and Jianzi's mother are doing now, but my legs may not be able to support such a long journey, not to mention that I'm soaked all over now. If I don't find a place to hide from the rain, I'm afraid I'll be doomed if I really get hypothermic.

Then I can only find the nearest house and hope that the people inside are willing to let me in.

"Xiao Jianzi, you must be safe."

Xiaohua whispered to herself and began to slowly drag her left foot forward while holding the wall.

From time to time, she would take a few more glances at the screen on her phone. But apart from the interface just now, the screen only displayed distorted garbled characters and completely overlapping and unrecognizable texts. She could no longer recognize any useful information, so the girl could only helplessly give up trying to get intelligence from this thing.

Speaking of which, was she a little too calm?

During the journey, Xiaohua had some doubts in her heart.

Moreover, she had not encountered any monster attacks since she woke up. Apart from other things, if there was something on the street during the time she was unconscious, there was no reason for it to let her go, right?

Ah, I can't figure it out at all. Anyway, I have to find a way to hide first.

"Huh... Huh... My feet hurt..."

It was less than 50 meters, but Xiaohua felt that she had walked for at least three minutes.

She finally reached the door of the nearest house, a three-story single-family house with a small courtyard, which looked beautifully decorated. But like other buildings on this rainy night, this house was dark at this time, without any light or human voice.

Step——

The girl stepped on the steps at the door.

[……]

She suddenly heard some movement from behind her, which flashed by, but she couldn't hear the specific movement.

[Zizi...]

The red light on the phone suddenly flashed at this time.

And at this moment, the girl felt an unprecedented fear, as if the fear in her heart had been suppressed by some force before, and with the flashing of the red light, these suppressed emotions broke out in an instant, almost suffocating her on the spot.

So Xiaohua realized that when the red light of the phone in her hand went out, she would really lose all protection.

At that moment, she will break away from this abnormal calm state and return to her normal state.

At that moment, all the things that were spying on her in the dark will really come forward.

It's not that they didn't find her.

But from the beginning, they were beside her and they were spying on her. It was just that the blood-red light of the mobile phone protected her, allowing her to live until she woke up and walked to the door of this house.

But now, this light is almost at its limit.

The flash just now was a warning. If she didn't hurry up and find a house to hide, I'm afraid this light will soon lose its protective effect.

"Hu..."

Xiaohua endured the pain in her feet, panted and turned back to look behind her.

The red light of the mobile phone passed through the dark rain curtain, illuminating those things standing in the rain, almost integrated with the rain.

So Xiaohua turned around at a faster speed, gritted his teeth, stepped up the stairs faster, and walked to the door.

Dong——

Reaching out his hand, Xiaohua wanted to knock on the door, but only knocked the first time.

Because after she touched the door, she found that the door was ajar and not closed at all. This made Xiaohua realize something, so she grabbed the door handle directly, took a deep breath and pulled the door open.

Squeak!

After a tooth-grinding sound of the door opening, under the dark red light of the mobile phone, Xiaohua saw the messy shoe cabinet lying on the ground, the torn small schoolbag mixed with the shoes, and the black and red bloodstains extending from the corridor to the depths of the corridor, and three human fingernails embedded in the wooden floor and a broken finger broken from the root.

Tap-tap-tap--

The sound of footsteps has been heard in the rain behind her.

Even Lily Kawaka, whose fear had been suppressed by some force, opened her mouth at this moment and trembled several times in succession.

But in the end, she took a deep breath again, took a step, and limped into the house.

Click!

Turning around, Xiaohua locked the door with a trembling but firm movement.

Then, she turned around again in the dark red light of her mobile phone, picked up her phone and shone it into the shadow deep in the corridor.

A pale woman's face, covered in blood, also poked her head out from the corner at the end of the corridor and looked in the direction of the girl.

Chapter 4 The girl's exploration and investigation moment in the dark mansion

Thump-thump-thump-

Xiaohua could clearly hear her heartbeat, so violent that it seemed to jump out of her chest.

In the dark red light from the mobile phone screen, something was slowly approaching in the depths of the messy corridor with suppressed breathing.

She didn't know what that thing was. From the dim red light, she could only be sure that it had a very ugly pancake face. It looked like a middle-aged woman, but the whole face was distorted, so that the eyeballs protruded outward, like a fish face.

It couldn't see where the body of the thing was.

Because the light was too dim, Xiao Hua couldn't even determine whether it was a flying head or something else. It was not until it got close to a certain distance that she finally found that there was an extremely long neck behind it. The neck stretched all the way out until it turned a corner at the corridor. She didn't know where the end was, but Xiao Hua herself had no intention of looking for it.

After all, the other party had already come to her.

[Are there... guests... coming...?]

A very pleasant, singing-like voice came from that terrifying face.

The pale woman's face opened her mouth and showed her teeth. She approached Xiao Hua with a stiff smile, and her bulging eyeballs moved around, as if she was observing and looking for something.

If she hadn't seen what this thing looked like, Xiao Hua probably wouldn't have believed that a guy with such a nice voice would have such a terrible and deformed face, right? But now she didn't have the energy to think about these things. Just standing still was a severe test of the girl's willpower.

"Hu...Hu..."

Even under the blood-red light of the phone, Xiaohua could feel that her fear was obviously suppressed, and she was in an unusually calm state. But after seeing such a terrible monster with her own eyes, she couldn't help trembling, and her heartbeat and breathing were all messed up.

However, she was not attacked.

Although the head of the thing came all the way, the distance between the two sides was not more than ten centimeters at the closest time, so that Xiaohua was almost vomited by the stench and bloody smell of the thing. But it did not attack Xiaohua, and even its sight did not really fall on Xiaohua.

This monster... Can't it see me?

Why is this so? Is there something special about me? Or is it that this red light protects me and makes it unable to detect me?

Xiaohua was unable to think of the correct answer. Now she can only barely ensure that she maintains her own sanity, and just trembles and stands there until the thing turns its head and returns to the corner of the corridor.

And it was at the moment when this thing turned its head that Xiaohua discovered that there was actually a face behind its head. However, unlike the smiling face in front, this equally deformed and distorted human face could be said to be extremely fierce. All the blood vessels on the face were bulging, and even the teeth had become fangs like beasts. It kept opening and closing its mouth, so that the upper and lower lips were torn apart by the fangs and turned into a pile of rotten meat.

For no reason, Xiaohua suddenly had a feeling that this two-faced monster with a neck as long as a snake might be a human, or it used to be a human.

The door of this house in the dark was opened, and it was not able to achieve a completely closed state, so something entered the house. And the residents who were originally in this house, those who were originally normal, were turned into this.

Could it be like this?

Xiaohua swallowed her saliva. She didn't know what the correct answer was. In fact, she felt that her mind was still fuzzy at this moment. The sudden thought just now was not so much the conclusion of her own thinking, but the effect brought about by some unknown mysterious power. It was as if some invisible spiritual power was injected into her mind, protecting her consciousness from extreme emotions while improving her basic abilities in all aspects, allowing her to temporarily display some skills that she could not do before. For example, she could get up and walk with a broken ankle, and guess the origin of the monster by observing it.

In any case, one thing is certain, this house is not safe.

The things outside the house cannot be confirmed for the time being, but Xiaohua is now broken and soaked, so she naturally cannot go outside again. So, what she has to do now is to find a way to survive in this house, to find a way to survive in a mansion where monsters already exist.

"Hu... Hu... Calm down, wu, calm down, calm down..."

The girl was about to cry.

In fact, if there was no mysterious power to maintain her sanity, she estimated that she should have collapsed by now. No, she should have collapsed before she even walked into the house. Just when she looked back at the door and found the group of things following her, she might have collapsed.

But no, she must calm down, it is far from safe now.

"House...house...Huh, calm down, I'm in the house, I'm already in the indoor environment. So, so next, next, what should we do next...lockdown?"

All doors and windows must be closed, and this mansion must be [closed]. In other words, she must now check every room in this house and make sure that all doors and windows are closed, otherwise when the red light goes out, the things outside the house will come in, find her, and turn her into a monster like the one just now.

Xiaohua really doesn't want to experience such an ugly and terrifying appearance in person.

So, she must take action.

"Um..."

Dragging her broken left leg, the girl gritted her teeth and took a step, stepping on the floor of the room.

Creak——

The footsteps were unusually clear on the wooden floor.

But that thing was not attracted.

The monster that appeared quickly when the door was closed just now did not move this time.

It can be confirmed that under the protection of the power of the red light of this mobile phone, the sounds directly triggered by me, including footsteps and voices, will not be detected by the monster. But the monster will definitely hear the indirect triggering sounds, such as opening and closing doors and windows, or accidentally knocking over teacups and chairs.

It's just like an adventure game.

After roughly understanding the behavioral logic of these monsters, Xiaohua took a breath and the fear in her heart eased a little.

They are not completely unreasonable. Although the specific principles are unknown, their actions are subject to various rules. So as long as I can make good use of these rules, I can deal with them and I can survive!

While trying to encourage herself in her heart, the girl took a step and quickly chose the stairs of this house.

Before entering this house, she had noticed that this was a three-story stand-alone building, so she needed to check all the windows from the first to the third floor. With her ankle broken and the wear and tear from walking getting worse, Xiaohua felt that it would be better for her to check from the highest floor to the next floor. On the one hand, this was to avoid the monster on the first floor, and on the other hand, she was worried that she would become more and more unable to walk after a long delay, and it would be troublesome if she could not climb the stairs and check the situation on the second and third floors.

[Be obedient... Be obedient...]

In the darkness, the sound of the monster faintly sounded from the corner of the corridor, accompanied by the sound of hitting something.

Xiaohua gritted her teeth and grabbed the handrail of the stairs, moving up the stairs little by little with difficulty, slowly walking from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor.

It hurts so much, my feet are getting more and more painful, how can I go downstairs in a while. Woo, Xiao Jianzi, where are you, why do I have to face this terrible situation alone?

Xiaohua wanted to cry.

But the rationality maintained by the mysterious power reminded her that it was useless to cry now, and crying would count as time. If she could not solve the problem before the red light disappeared, she would not be able to cry anymore. So she gritted her teeth and continued to move forward, limping to open the doors of each room on the third floor and check the windows inside.

Fortunately, there were only two storage rooms and an empty room on the third floor, and the windows inside were all closed and locked.

And probably because of the heavy rain, the monster wandering on the first floor could not hear the sound of the door opening on the third floor. Xiaohua also carefully opened and closed the door for a while, and was relieved after confirming that the thing really didn't hear it.

Then came the second floor, which had a living room, two bedrooms and a toilet. There were no windows in the toilet, only exhaust fans, which could be seen from the living room window. Xiaohua went over to confirm that the window was locked, and then slowly moved towards the corridor where the bedroom was.

[Zizi...]

The red light overflowing from the mobile phone screen flashed again.
