Chapter 629
The strong sense of crisis made the girl stop, and even her breathing stopped.
After about half a minute, when the red light stabilized and became dimmer, Xiaohua, who was almost suffocating, finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward slowly.
"Huh?"
In front of her sight, one of the two bedrooms had its door closed and she couldn't see what was going on inside, but the other bedroom had its door open, and there was a faint red light coming out from inside.
Xiaohua, who realized something, suddenly became a little excited, and immediately quickened her pace, jumping to the door and carefully pushing it open, then observing and confirming that the thing on the first floor didn't follow up before walking in.
Hualala--
The open window kept shaking with the heavy rain and wind.
This small bedroom, which looked very simple in style, is now in a mess. Things like the bed, table and chairs are almost torn to pieces, and the walls and floors are covered with fresh blood. You can also see some very suspicious pieces of meat falling on the ground.
Xiaohua didn't think about what happened here, and what those pieces of meat on the ground were.
Her sight was directly locked on a smart phone in the pool of blood, which was the same as the one in her hand, and was obviously broken. This phone was even more broken, and the phone itself was almost broken into two halves, with only a little edge structure still connected. As a result, under this situation, the screen of the phone was still shining with a blood-red light, emitting a palpitating heavy breath.
[Zizi...]
The phone in the girl's hand was obviously close to the limit and was flashing again.
She didn't care too much, and stumbled to the phone on the ground, and even fell to the ground because she couldn't stop the car. But even so, Xiaohua rolled to the phone, knelt on the ground and picked it up, and put the two phones that were also emitting red light together.
Buzz——
Almost immediately, the blood-red light in the broken phone that Xiaohua had just picked up began to change, as if it had become something with substance, and it directly flowed out of the phone and seeped into the phone that Xiaohua was carrying.
Squeak——
The originally dim red light became bright again.
At this moment, the girl clearly felt the increase in the power of the red light, and realized that her life safety had a longer-term guarantee. For a moment, she almost cried with joy.
Tap-tap--
But it was also at this time that she noticed the footsteps approaching from behind that she had ignored.
[How are you...? ]
A gentle voice like a child's greeting sounded.
Xiaohua turned her head.
And the cold smiling face pressed against her forehead the next moment.
Chapter 5 The girl in danger and the words from Xiong Mi
The girl must say that her heartbeat accelerated tonight, probably more times than in the past ten years of her life combined.
When that doll-like dull cheek pressed against her, when that cold touch was transmitted to her skin, Xiaohua almost had a fear of her soul leaving her body, so that she couldn't even stand up, and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground, and was directly paralyzed by fear.
However, she was not attacked by the other party.
Just like the long-necked monster wandering on the first floor, this weird thing with a head that seemed to have turned into a ceramic doll, and there was no way to detect the sound made by Xiaohua. Under the red light of the mobile phone that had been supplemented, Xiaohua's existence was completely obscured, and no matter the sound or movement, these monsters would never detect it. However, Xiaohua was not sure whether she could still be obscured if she was directly touched by the other party, so after she reacted, she immediately rolled and crawled backwards. Even if she was scared to the point of being weak in her legs and unable to stand up, she tried her best to distance herself, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the other party turned around and walked out of the house.
So scary, these monsters are too scary, right?
Am I going to stay in such a house next, and be neighbors with two monsters?
The girl's mentality was a little broken. The continuous stimulation and high-pressure mentality had made her almost cry on the spot. But the feeling of a stable mentality from an unknown source quickly passed to her mind, which slowly calmed the girl's intense emotions and gradually calmed her mind. So she sat on the ground and took a breath for a while, then she gritted her teeth and stood up, then turned around and closed the open window in the small house.
Click——
At the moment when the window was locked, Xiaohua noticed obvious footprints on the window, which looked very small, like a five or six-year-old child.
Perhaps, the reason why the resident of this house turned into a monster was not because the door was not locked, but because the window was opened, causing something to slip into the house.
Is that thing still here now?
Xiaohua was a little terrified when she thought of this question.
However, she couldn't care about these things for the time being. Even if there were more monsters wandering in the house now, she had to make sure that every window was closed first. If this matter could not be completed as soon as possible, and the house did not enter the [closed] state before the red light disappeared, Xiaohua didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
[Zizi... Zizizi...]
The mobile phone in her hand, which was emitting red light, suddenly made a harsh noise again.
Xiaohua, realizing that this thing might be sending some kind of message, immediately picked up the phone. This time, the text displayed on the phone was still as messy and unrecognizable, but for some reason, Xiaohua noticed that the broadcast sound in the phone became clearer, and he could barely hear that it was a young girl's voice saying something.
[Emergency notice... Emergency... Notice...]
[Now in an outdoor environment... Zizi... Those who cannot return home in time... Please find the nearest... enclosed indoor environment...]
[Entering the indoor environment... Please make sure that doors, windows and other... structures that interact with the outside... are blocked... Zizizi...]
[Please... Please note... As long as the communication tools you hold... such as mobile phones... computers... can still emit a red halo... you will not be attacked...]
[Find... Find other modern technology props that emit a red halo... It can be supplemented... Make sure the light is bright... Make sure they can't really get close to you...]
It was more difficult than expected to distinguish the sound of this thing. Xiaohua put the phone close to his ear, closed his eyes and listened carefully for a long time before he barely confirmed the meaning of the broadcast and realized that his previous guess was correct. The red light can indeed protect her. By physically contacting the device she holds with other modern technology devices that emit red light, she can indeed replenish the power of the red light and ensure her own survival.
After all, isn't this something I have tried out myself? Wow, I thought I could hear some information I didn't know, but knowing this alone won't change anything. What I need most now is a way to overcome my ankle fracture and a way to deal with or control the monsters wandering in the house.
[Entering the indoor environment... sizzle... After entering the indoor environment... sizzle... sizzle... sizzle...]
Xiaohua complained a little in her heart, but then she noticed that the broadcast had not stopped and there was more information, so she looked forward to listening carefully.
[The following... sizzle... the types of monsters are... sizzle...]
[The way to deal with this type of monster... sizzle... is... sizzle... sizzle...]
[sizzle... sizzle... sizzle... hum...]
And then there was nothing else.
After making a few violent noises, this thing was silent.
Xiaohua could only listen to this thing in a daze, as it seemed to talk about some monster types and coping methods. Then, it was disconnected as soon as it started a title. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be angry or sad. She stayed there for a while before realizing that she might have to rely on herself now.
What is this? This is too unreliable, right?
The girl who was complaining in her heart limped forward and gritted her teeth. Finally, she couldn't stand the injury on her foot and had to sit on the bed on one side of the bedroom to rest temporarily.
[Zizi... Zizi...]
The mobile phone screen began to flash again?
The girl who thought there was really no more information was a little surprised and quickly looked at the mobile phone screen again. This time, she found that the red light on the screen began to change faintly, and gradually a blurry scene emerged, as if it had changed from the original black and red distorted text interface to some kind of video interface.
[Buzz... Can... Can you see... Can you hear...]
A very mature female voice sounded from the mobile phone, and the video picture became clearer and the noise gradually weakened. Xiaohua sat on the bed and looked at the phone interface carefully. After waiting for about ten seconds, the interface displayed on the phone finally became clear.
It was a woman who looked very mature. Her expression was not like that of a Japanese, but rather that of a Chinese.
At this moment, she was looking at the phone screen seriously, as if she was looking at Xiaohua through the phone. She noticed that the man was gasping for breath, with blood all over his body and half of his face covered with blood. What Xiaohua cared about most was that one of the man's eyes was actually a bronze metal fake eye, which looked like the Millennium Eye in Yu-Gi-Oh painted with verdigris, giving a very strange sense of surrealism.
[I am Xiongmi]
The woman looked at the screen and spoke, her voice very firm.
[Now I am one of the commanders of the Tokyo Joint Rescue Team. We have successfully seized a signal tower, but we are not sure how long the seizure of the signal can last, so I will make it short. Those who are still alive and can hear and see me speak, please listen carefully to what I am going to say next.]
[No monsters will appear in any house that has been sealed off by closing doors and windows before 23:00. All the abnormalities you see are illusions. Their purpose is to drive you out of the house. Don't do this. Don't succumb to fear. As long as you are not afraid of them, you will not be affected by them.]
[In any house that has been sealed off by closing doors and windows after 23:00, in theory, if you do not find any obvious abnormal signs, then you are safe. But it is also possible that something has already sneaked into your house. Due to the existence of illusions, it is difficult to distinguish them in terms of their manifestations. To verify whether those things exist, all you have to do is take the modern technology items that can emit red halo in your hand and try to actively approach the source of the abnormality you have found. If the other party can be effectively blocked by the red halo, then it is real, and the house you are hiding in is no longer safe.]
Blocked by the red halo?
The words of this woman named Xiong Mi, who seemed to be as resolute as a soldier, made Xiaohua slightly stunned.
The head just now looked like a porcelain doll, and its forehead was almost touching her own. If it is a physical monster, does that mean it should be blocked by red light? But it only left after it came into contact with me and I avoided it. So, that thing is actually an illusion, not real, is that right?
Xiaohua vaguely felt something was wrong.
The cold touch at that moment still makes Xiaohua shiver even now. That couldn't be fake. At that moment, the other party must have really touched her. But according to the person in this video, the thing that is not blocked by the red light should be an illusion, so she shouldn't be able to feel the touch, right?
[This is also true for those who failed to return home in time before 23:00 and had to find a nearby house to take shelter. Especially the latter, because you are not hiding in your "home", especially those survivors who are hiding in strangers' houses, the protection you can receive is the smallest. To ensure safety, you must drive these monsters out of the house no matter what. As long as they stay with you, the red light that protects you will continue to be consumed, and sooner or later you will lose protection and be caught by them]
The girl's thinking has not yet reached a conclusion, but Xiong Mi in the video continues to explain the situation very fast.
[There are two different types of physical monsters, one can be regarded as the "manufacturer" and the other as the "product". The former are those things that sneak into the house. They are extremely dangerous. Ordinary people have no possibility of defeating them head-on. As long as you lose the protection of the red light, you will be killed immediately. The latter are new monsters created by these makers using living people as raw materials. This type is much weaker. Even ordinary people can temporarily suppress them with weapons. But please remember that even monsters that appear to be relatively weak cannot be killed. And as time goes by, these things seem to change, so don’t think that if you defeat them temporarily, everything will be fine]
[To get rid of these things, you must use electronic devices in your hands that can emit red light and have a display interface, whether it is a mobile phone, a computer, a TV, or something like that. You have to use this thing to find the "origin" of those monsters, and then use red light to banish them]
[Those "makers" who want to stay in a closed indoor environment need to pay a price. They must bring their obsession, ah, you don't understand what an obsession is...in short, it is something special. into the house, so for the former, you have to find that thing that doesn't belong in your house. They can't hide the item too deeply, as that would affect their ability to move. Find that thing, put the screen of the device in your hand that emits red light directly against it, and you can suck the thing away directly, thereby driving away the uninvited guest in the house]
[For "products", you need to find their corpses. After being created as monsters, the human corpses of these "products" will not disappear, but will remain. The "maker" may try to hide the body, but this thing is still quite big after all, so it is still difficult to hide. Finding the bodies means finding the "origins" of these poor people. Just like the key item mentioned just now, you can banish these created monsters by sticking the screen of the red-light electronic device in your hand to the corpse.】
[Hurry up, if you can live to hear what I say, hurry up and take action. Our rescuers are already doing their best to act, but the city is changing almost every moment. Please hold on as long as possible until our rescuers arrive! 】
Xiong Mi's tone was extremely serious, almost pleading.
But to be honest, her extremely fast words made Xiaohua feel dizzy. She didn't remember much at all. She just vaguely remembered that she should use the phone screen to paste the corpse and other things. Through this This way you can get rid of the monsters in the house.
Is there such a method?
Although he didn't understand why at all, Xiaohua's mood recovered slightly after he understood that he was not powerless to fight back.
It's just that we have to look for corpses and... and what? It seems to be some special item? What kind of items can be considered special? I don’t understand at all...
"Ugh, no matter what, we must act as soon as possible, at least to ensure our own safety, and then we can consider the situation of Xiaomiko and her family."
The girl took a deep breath and planned to stand up from the bed.
Crunch——
But before she could really take action, a deformed woman's head poked in from outside the door. Its bulging eyeballs like a dead fish turned in Xiaohua's direction, making the girl who had just ignited her ambitions instantly He became well-behaved and sat there, not daring to move.
Chapter 6 The Girl’s Crisis Moment and the Search for Illusion and Reality
"call……"
At this moment, Xiaohua almost stopped breathing. He was sitting on the spot with his whole body tense, not daring to move at all.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
The violent raindrops were still hitting the window glass, making bursts of noise.
And the deformed woman's head has slowly squirmed into the bedroom, and the protruding eyeballs are squirming like a spasm, looking as if they are about to fall out of their sockets.
【Are there...guests...】
A voice like singing sounded from under that ugly face.
A long, pale, curved neck like a snake came in from the dark door, and the head seemed to be shaking irregularly, just looking around like wandering around.
Calm down... Calm down...
Xiaohua took a deep breath, enduring the stench and strong cold breath of the thing close at hand, and tried to adjust her breathing and muscles.
It can't see me.
The girl said to herself.
The red light in this phone can protect me, so this monster can't see me or hear me.
As long as you act carefully and don't touch that thing, it won't be aware of my existence. And even if it finds me, even if there is a collision between me and it, this red light can protect my life in a critical moment. So don't be afraid, don't be afraid, in order to survive, I must act calmly now!
[I... come... to... cook... for... the guests...]
While Xiaohua was trying to build up her mental strength, the head of the thing had already arrived in front of the bedroom window.
The twisted eyes lingered on the closed window, the raindrops on the ground and walls around the window, and then continued to make intermittent sounds, turned around, and began to look at the empty dark bedroom again.
The girl was ready.
She supported herself on the bed with her little hands and was about to stand up from the bed.
[Guest, are you here? ! ! ]
The next second, the twisted big face suddenly rushed in front of Xiaohua.
A shrill howl sounded from the monster's torn mouth. In an instant, Xiaohua only had time to rush forward in embarrassment. Then she heard a loud bang. The bed she was sitting on just now was smashed by the head, and the broken wood chips flew all over the room in an instant.
[Mom... Mom, I will be obedient... I will be obedient...]
The twisted little hand stretched out from the mouth of the human face, accompanied by the suppressed cry of the child.
[Guest, where are you? Guest, come out quickly! I cooked for you! I cooked for you! I cooked for you! ! ! 】
The twisted face had turned back, laughing with its mouth wide open, while howling like a madman.
