Chapter 633
What Jianzi didn't say was that when it was absolutely necessary, Gao Hai could actually force his own power to descend through the blessing of the blood flower. At that time, Jianzi, as the carrier of the blessing power, could easily recover from any damage. But considering that Gao Hai's condition was already a bit bad, Jianzi gave up this plan.
Crash--
The cold rain quickly soaked both of them completely. As the coldness spread, Yotsuya Toruko's body trembled slightly. Jianzi was not afraid of such low temperatures at all, but she pretended to be afraid of the cold.
It's almost there.
Jianzi could sense the general situation around her, and she was sure that she was about to reach Xiaohua's place.
It would be no problem to go a little further along this road, and then...
"Huh?"
The mother suddenly stopped, with a bit of confusion in her voice.
Realizing that something was wrong, Jianzi quickly opened her perception, so the next second, she [saw] the front of the road, looking at the broken cliff that appeared on the road surface at some point, cutting the street horizontally and isolating the two sides.
Chapter 10: Increasing erosion and unknown decaying land
"What... what are these? I don't remember this place being like this."
The voice of Yotsuya Toruko, who was carrying Miko on her back, trembled slightly. It was obvious that for this middle-aged woman who had never experienced supernatural phenomena, the situation on the street ahead was completely beyond her cognition.
"Is it an illusion? No... no, this is not an illusion, in this case..."
And Miko, who sensed that this scene was real, was also stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what happened.
According to the investigation in the previous weeks, the basic ability of various weird things released into the real world by the [Hospital] through unknown means is to create illusions. Through this power, the weird things can deceive the perception of the living, making the victims mistakenly believe that they are in danger and flee their homes, and then be caught and transformed by the weird things hiding outside the house, and turned into those things that are neither human nor ghost.
Because this ability is too familiar, Gao Hai also complained that this is a group of mentally disabled little Alices, and then was confronted by his own portable Alice. Perhaps because the appearance of these monsters is not ideal, Alice got angry because she was compared with them. Thinking carefully, this seems to be the first time that Alice, created by this god, got angry. Unfortunately, Jianzi herself only heard Gao Hai's retelling and did not see the ghost-like little thing get angry with her own eyes.
But this is not the point at the moment.
The point is that all the [hospital] monsters have the illusion ability, which is actually unreasonable.
Ghost stories are formed from human emotions and pain, and everyone in this world is different. There are no absolutely identical people, so there are no monsters with exactly the same abilities. In fact, according to the information Gao Hai has investigated so far, the individual differences between these monsters from the [hospital] are actually very large. Although most of them obviously have the identity of [patients], there is nothing similar outside of this unified identity, so it stands to reason that their abilities should also be different, or even if they have the same abilities, at least there should be different powers outside of this.
Gao Hai was not able to find the answer to this question, and Jian Zi, who obtained relevant information from him, also did not know the reason because she did not participate in the action.
But now, she felt that she might have found the correct answer.
"The ground did collapse, and... the end of the collapsed area could not be sensed, the spatial structure was changing, and the connection between this city and the [copy world] was gradually deepening. So that's the reason, that's not an illusion, right?"
While muttering to herself, Jian Zi finally understood a mistake that no one had realized before.
These weird things from the [hospital] do not have a unified ability to create illusions.
In fact, transforming humans into derivatives is the [commonality] of these things.
And the very strange ability to create illusions should actually be the individualized power possessed by these weird things, but because there is still a certain gap between the real world and the copy world, this power cannot really act on ordinary people, so the one in the [hospital] deliberately disguised this power as an illusion ability to mislead players.
But now, those so-called "illusions" are probably not completely illusions.
Although the Black Watch's several replays changed the fate of some people who were killed and transformed by the monsters, this replay also seemed to have accumulated something for the enemy. Unlike the previous four rounds, in the fifth round, the power that [Hospital] can project into the real world has been enhanced. He has the ability to modify the real rules of this city to a certain extent and project more things belonging to the copy.
Just like the inexplicable collapsed road section that appeared in the real world at this time, the abilities of those monsters must have changed in some way.
"Hurry up and take a detour, mom, Xiaohua is in danger, the information is outdated!"
Realizing that the situation was extremely urgent, Jianzi said to her mother anxiously, and Yotsuya Toruko, who barely calmed down after taking several deep breaths, no longer hesitated and ran quickly around the cracks on the street with Jianzi on her back.
Swish---
The heavy rain is still falling.
This cold rainstorm seems to never subside, it will only accumulate and accumulate until the water overflows and turns into a raging flood.
Swish--Swish---
But at least now, at least at this moment, the rain is just repeating monotonously.
I seem to hear something.
It seems to be a sound coming from far away.
I can't hear the specific sound, but I can barely make out the movement of children, like the sound of children playing games.
Drop---
The sound of children playing happily mixed with some weird, unnatural sounds.
Drop---Drop---
One after another, the sound as cold as a machine running, mixed with the sound of children laughing.
What is that sound?
Why do I hear such a strange sound?
Where am I now? Where am I? What am I doing?
My muddled brain gradually became clear.
I seemed to be able to feel the faint red light flickering beside me, and each flicker was significantly weaker than the last, and it became dimmer and dimmer at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Red light... red light...
It is the light that protects me... With this light, I will not be really hurt by the weird things...
Yes, I remember that in order to avoid the pursuit of those terrible monsters wandering on the street, I chose to escape into the nearest mansion. But there are monsters in this mansion, and in order to survive, I have to find a way to banish them through the power of red light. This action was successful at first, and I did banish a monster, but after that, the second monster hiding in this mansion, the more dangerous and powerful monster, created an illusion to affect me, it... it...
No, that's not right, it shouldn't be an illusion.
Maybe what appeared at the beginning was indeed an illusion, but the situation afterwards, those pictures and sounds, those things, in any case, don't seem to be the effect that an illusion can achieve.
Moreover, even though the thing had not really touched my body, and I had not been captured and transformed by the power of the ghost story, I could not hold on after just a few collisions between the thing and the red light. I am afraid that the reason why I lost consciousness was because I was knocked unconscious by the residual power of the shock wave.
"Hmm..."
Once I regained consciousness, the pain and dizziness immediately became stronger.
Xiaohua stood up slowly with his head covered, and at the same time picked up the phone whose screen was obviously more severely broken, and tried to recall what happened before.
Hmm, I seemed to have been knocked unconscious before?
I gradually remembered the details, and it was indeed a hard collision.
After the hands behind me hugged me and triggered the red light resistance, I was directly blown away and hit the wall, and then because something on the wall tried to touch me, the red light burst out for the second time, and then I hit my head on the ground, with a muffled sound and fainted on the spot.
Isn't the protection of this red light too unintelligent?
Why is there recoil? Can't I completely offset the monster's power and prevent me from being knocked out? What exactly is this protecting?
If I could go to the hospital for a checkup now, I'm afraid I would have a concussion, right? Ah, no, no, I can't think like that. [Hospitals] are very dangerous. In order to fight those monsters, I must avoid thinking about things related to [hospitals]. This is what Mr. Gao Hai, who is a god, has specifically told me.
Xiaohua wanted to complain, but with the blessing of the will of the spiritual fragments, she quickly calmed down and began to observe the surrounding environment.
Before she completely fainted and lost consciousness, she vaguely felt that something seemed to grab her legs and dragged her in a certain direction. Although I don't know why the other party can grab me and move, I can be sure that I am no longer in my original position.
So, where is this?
In the dim red light, Xiaohua frowned and looked around, but there was no way to judge where she was.
It seems that I have come to a very strange place.
There was no furniture around, and only a door could be seen from a distance. The walls, the floor, and the ceiling... were like cloth that had been repeatedly mended. At least the touch of the floor felt like layers of heavy cloth, which was not at all. In addition, there were a lot of needle and thread traces everywhere, densely packed like mottled wounds, and at the same time, these stitched cloths also had obvious differences in color and style. It was for this reason that Xiaohua felt that the surrounding walls were all cloth at first glance.
I smelled something bad.
It was pungent, like rotten, and mixed with the unpleasant smell of rust.
This smell emanated faintly from these heavy cloths, making Xiaohua feel like something had died in this room.
At this point, it should no longer be explained by hallucination, right?
While thinking, the girl took a cautious step, and walked on the soft cloth floor with some discomfort, towards the only exit in the room, close to the door in the dark.
A rustling sound was heard.
As she approached the door, Xiaohua noticed the increasingly obvious, unpleasant sound of crowding and squirming.
[Zizi... Zizi...]
The electromagnetic noise coming from the phone was very weak, and it was no longer as noisy and harsh as before.
When she really walked to the door, Xiaohua found that the door was actually sealed, and there was a police sign [Crime Scene Do Not Enter] next to it.
What could be inside?
Xiaohua looked around, and there was no other way out in the room built with heavy cloth and stitching. As for tearing the cloth, Xiaohua had considered it. But as a girl, she was not very strong, and she really couldn't tear a T-shirt and shirt casually like the protagonists of some dark and deep fantasy movies, and there were no suitable tools at the moment. Therefore, apart from this door, the girl probably had no other choice.
This made Xiaohua feel uneasy. This kind of thing of making an expected choice along a predetermined route might mean walking into a trap set by the enemy. But after thinking about it, the girl couldn't think of any solution, and the red light emitted from the phone was obviously still weakening. She had no choice but to do this.
[Will: 63%]
[Defense: 25%]
Before opening the door, Xiaohua looked at the data displayed on the phone again.
Then, she grabbed the door handle that looked a bit old and had obvious rust on the edge, slowly pressed it down, and then pulled it.
The first thing that hit her the next moment was a much stronger stench than before.
Xiaohua, who was almost vomiting on the spot, immediately covered her mouth and nose and took a step back. And then, the door that she had opened opened automatically, and dense cockroaches followed from behind the door, crawling all over the room in just a few seconds.
Squeak——
Behind the door was a corridor, a corridor that seemed to be rotten, with dirty marks all over the walls and the ground, and all kinds of insects densely passing through it, like a corridor in a wormhole.
"Hmm... this is..."
Xiao Hua, who had not expected to see such a thing, took a few steps back. She did not want to step into such a disgusting corridor.
At this time, Xiao Hua suddenly noticed that as the door opened, something that was originally stuck in the crack of the door seemed to fall down and fell to the ground where many cockroaches were already crawling. So Xiao Hua hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the thing in the sound of several cockroaches being crushed to death, and brought it to her face, only to find that it was a newspaper.
[Horror! The perverted mother killed her family and made corpse dolls. Is the murderer in the movie around us? ]
It looks like an old newspaper with a long history. The title is deliberately created to create a gimmick, but the content revealed in the title alone is enough to make people feel deeply uneasy.
Puff-Puff--
As the footsteps moved, many more cockroaches and other insects were crushed by Xiao Hua.
These disgusting things did not try to crawl onto Xiao Hua, but just fled in panic.
The girl frowned, trying to control her emotions, adapting to this disgusting environment as much as possible, and planned to take a closer look at the content of the newspaper.
But at this time, she suddenly felt a sight, a sight that made her hair stand on end.
So she immediately turned her head to see the source of this sight, and the next second she saw a doll, a rough-looking, life-size doll of a child about 1.2 meters tall, standing behind her at some point, covering her eyes with her hands and leaning against the wall.
Chapter 11 Maps and Survivor Rules Obtained from a Rotting Room
The room was rotting.
The fine needlework was disintegrating bit by bit, and a dark yellow or dark green foul-smelling liquid was flowing out.
The wriggling maggots and black cockroaches were intertwined, crawling densely on the ground and walls.
And the child-like doll just stood motionless in front of Xiaohua, covering his eyes motionlessly, as if he was really just a dead thing standing against the wall.
"..."
Dare not speak.
At this moment, Xiao Hua didn't even dare to make a sound.
So what is going on?
Did I trigger something again? How come such a thing suddenly appeared in front of me?
What exactly is this doll? Is it a weird thing? Or a derivative weird thing? Ah, I don't understand what is going on now. What should I do now?
The girl was complaining crazily in her heart, and her body was completely stiff. She just stood there straight, and she dared not move at all.
One minute, two minutes...
In this room full of cockroaches and overflowing with stench, Xiao Hua just stood there, staring at the doll.
She had already imagined that this thing would suddenly pounce on her and attack her, or disappear in the blink of an eye, and then appear from behind her or somewhere else. Considering that the power of the red light is now very weak, Xiao Hua really has no idea whether she can withstand the attack.
But nothing happened.
Although Xiaohua was frightened by the doll and stood there for nearly five or six minutes without daring to move, the doll did not move at all from beginning to end, as if it was really just an ordinary doll, a dead object that could not move at all.
