Bai Su saw a colorful ball pop up on the roof of the shopping mall and opened it. This was what was written on the banner that fell.
In addition to banners, colorful sequins and ribbons floated out of thin air. They fell from the top floor to the atrium and began to pile up on the ground. Before long, a thick layer had formed.
The faint black stains on the first floor were submerged, and soon the entire first floor became a sea of colorful ribbons.
Bai Su had some bad premonitions.
He turned around again and saw that the store that was just a milk tea shop had completely changed its appearance.
The metal rolling shutter door becomes transparent, like a display screen, through which you can see the scene inside, with several pixel figures spinning back and forth, as if looking for an attack target.
What's this like?
An Xiangwen followed Bai Su's line of sight and saw it. He thought about it and it felt like an arcade screen.
While humans were wandering around, Bai Su had already run far away.
An Xiangwen quickly put aside the change of environment for the time being, picked up Tong Wenwen on his back again, and tried his best to follow.
Bai Su stopped at the escalator.
The original steps turned into rolling tracks, and there were even sharp spikes on the tracks. If you wanted to run down, you had to go through a parkour first.
An Xiangwen, who was a few beats late, finally caught up with his people. He also saw the changes in the escalator and murmured: "What on earth is going on... Wasn't everything fine just now?"
Bai Su glanced at the human, who had a blank look on his face.
This environmental change beyond human understanding seemed to him easy to accept.
assimilation.
According to the monster's understanding, this shopping mall became a closed space after the supernatural being came. The closed space temporarily belonged to the supernatural being, and it was possible for it to make changes to its own things.
For example, now, the entire shopping mall has been assimilated into the style of a game arcade. The mall is a game arcade and the stores are game consoles.
The only thing that confused Bai Su was what stimulated the supernatural being.
His previous behavior of salivating in the game arcade? It shouldn't be, he was just greedy and didn't really do it.
Bai Su, who felt that he had not exposed anything, turned over the note he had brought from the milk tea shop. The note in the format of a takeout order had the same content filled out everywhere - please collect five cards, along with a string of exclamation marks. .
The human beside him didn't dare to go up the escalator after seeing it, so he turned around and happened to see what was written on the note.
The words are so dense that they seem to be urging.
An Xiangwen looked at the movement around him and then looked at the note, feeling a little collapsed.
"How can we collect cards like this!"
Because of the sudden braking in front of the escalator, the work shoes worn by the girl on An Xiangwen's back were not hung securely and rolled onto the tracks.
The soft-soled leather shoes were carried forward for more than ten centimeters, and then a spike protruded, accurately penetrating the leather upper.
The spikes then slowly retracted with the leather shoes. When they got close to the tracks, the tracks naturally formed jagged cracks, swallowing the items in the spikes.
Now I just don’t have good shoes, so what if someone walks up?
As if he saw himself falling on the spike, An Xiangwen took two steps back.
Human emotional changes are caused by triggers.
Bai Su was still thinking about how to go downstairs. He needed to go downstairs to the underground garage to find clues about the rotting corpse.
It's no problem for him to go down by himself, but it's not so convenient for humans.
Holding human beings in hand? How would it be normal for an ordinary human being to lift the weight of two people?
Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Su suddenly noticed that An Xiangwen's whole body was shaking. He looked over and found that human emotions were almost distorted.
An Xiangwen's hand held the girl's calf so tightly that it left a red mark on the leg. If he continued to hold it, it might develop into a bruise.
The supernatural feeds on human pain and fear, but Baisu has no interest in these emotions.
He just felt that human emotions had once again reached the edge of the cliff, and he would fall if he was not careful.
Bai Su felt that he had to do something. He thought about how human beings had followed him persistently along the way. Although it was a little troublesome, he also gave some meaningful insights.
He decided to be considerate.
"An Xiangwen." Bai Su called out the human's name softly.
The human turned his head subconsciously, the self-pity on his face still lingering, and he met the black-haired young man looking at him softly.
Black eyes as dark as the abyss stared at him, with a slight smile on his face, which made the human's shoulders tremble and almost dropped the girl on his back to the ground.
Bai Su tilted his head and asked, "What do you think of the state of 'living'?"
"In other words, do you want to leave here as 'An Xiangwen', or can you do something else?"
As he spoke, he extended a hand to the human.
…
Bai Su opened the stairwell door, and a slight breeze blew from below.
He had a dangerous idea a few minutes ago, but unfortunately he didn't implement it.
After he asked the first two questions, the human being fell into an obvious state of confusion. Even fear was temporarily left behind and he began to think about the answer.
After a long while, he said tangledly: "I am who I am... and am I still alive? I think it's good to be alive, and I don't want to die!"
An Xiangwen looked at Bai Su's hand hesitantly and shook his head like a rattle.
All right.
Bai Su took back his hand regretfully, he respected human beings' choices.
Completely unaware that he was walking past the door of death, An Xiangwen was asked the third question before he could regain his fear: "Is there any other way to the underground garage?"
An Xiangwen paused and replied: "The elevator or stairwell... is on the side of the mall."
So the two took the unconscious girl out of the escalator that had been completely assimilated into the game arcade, avoiding various obstacles along the way, such as mushrooms and water pipes, and ran into the emergency exit on the side.
They originally wanted to take the direct elevator, but after pressing the button on the fifth floor for a long time, there was no response. The elevator kept stopping on the sixth floor and seemed to have malfunctioned.
As a last resort, he turned to the stairwell to the side.
This place has not been affected by the game arcade yet, and you can go up and down the stairs normally.
After about two layers were laid, the surrounding walls began to warp, and the color gradually faded into bright flower bones.
An Xiangwen wanted to turn around, but Bai Su stopped him.
Bai Su warned him: "Don't look back, for the sake of your head."
In fact, the flowers growing on the wall are not very irrational, and the cartoon patterns can even be called childlike.
Bai Suhui warned the curly-haired young man who was walking slower and slower due to the speed of An Xiangwen going downstairs and carrying a person on his back. The red and white flower bones grew several times against the human scalp.
If it were any slower, either An Xiangwen's head would be eaten or Tong Wenwen's head would be bitten.
All the way down, the numbers on the wall changed from 5 to 2 and then to B1. When he reached the last flight of stairs, Bai Su took An Xiangwen's arm and pushed him forward, while he stayed at the end and used The door panel slammed into the huge mouth of the piranha chasing them.
"boom!"
This was the sound of a human being falling and the sound of a door panel being banged. Except for the slightest movement in the stairwell, the underground garage was quiet.
There were only a few cars parked in the empty parking lot, and one or two cars stood in the middle of the road. The doors were open but there were no drivers or passengers. It was guessed that they wanted to escape by car, but gave up because it took too much time.
What's in the underground garage?
Tong Wenwen was controlled by the supernatural without explaining clearly, and was knocked unconscious by Bai Su. She is still unconscious now.
But Baisu didn't need Tong Wenwen very much. After arriving at the underground garage, he obviously felt that it was a bit colder than upstairs, and the strong smell was coming from a certain direction.
To the northeast corner, go from the underground garage of the West Building to the northeast corner, which happens to be the center of the entire shopping mall.
The atrium above ground has become a solidified cement wall underground.
Bai Su came to the wall and started knocking hard.
After a few strokes, he hit the hollow area.
