The outline of the black shadow gradually becomes clearer, and after walking into the light, the whole picture can be seen.
It was a giant teddy bear doll, with many gray-black stains on its brown fur, some cotton wool leaking from the joints, and some fresh red dots on the old yellow stuffing.
Looking up is its head. The round buttons that have grown several times larger represent the eyes. A bear mouth full of fangs is sealed by dense black lines, and can only open a gap.
Even so, what was flowing from the gap between the teeth was traces of scarlet flesh, as if it was enjoying an unknown delicacy before it appeared.
The teddy bear came closer, and the arms hanging on both sides also came into Bai Su's field of vision. Sharp claws that were long enough to penetrate a human chest were growing there. They were also stained with blood, as if the flesh had just been sliced off.
The teddy bear looks very similar to the promotional sculpture outside the arcade, but the painting style has been changed from a cute fairy tale style to a novelty and horror style.
"You..." A child's voice sounded that did not match his appearance, and the teddy bear stared at Bai Su with its button eyes, "You are an unruly player."
"Opportunistic tricks in the red and white soup secret room, destroying game equipment in the arcade."
"Purge, purge, purge——"
With no intention of communicating with Bai Su, the teddy bear took heavy steps and attacked Bai Su with agility that was different from its appearance. He stretched out his claws simply and roughly, hoping to skewer the prey on his claws.
Hearing a rustling wind and his sharp claws almost touching Bai Su's chest, he reluctantly pulled away from the sweet honey syrup.
Bai Su exerted force on his waist and abdomen, twisted his whole body to the left, and lifted the hammer still in his hand. The handle of the hammer was scraped by the sharp claws and was cut off in half. Then came the hammer head, and the metal crisscrossed and made a sound. Ding sound.
It seemed that the claws of the teddy bear were sharper, and the hammer head was lifted off, spinning and flying out, hitting the game console on the side, deeply embedded in it, and a burst of electricity and sparks erupted.
The remaining half of the hammer handle was in Bai Su's hand. He moved slightly away to get some distance, but not too far away. The teddy bear could reach him as long as he stretched out his claws and stabbed again.
Wooden handles are useless.
Bai Su casually dropped half of the controller on the ground. This action, in the eyes of the teddy bear, the symbol of the Tangram Game Hall, was an act of giving up the struggle.
The teddy bear chuckled, his childish voice harsh and somewhat distorted.
"The reaction and speed are good." The teddy bear seemed to be praising him. "As expected of a player who frequently challenges the rules. As the first human being to dodge my attack, I give you a chance to choose a way to die."
Saying words that seemed kind but were actually cruel, the teddy bear began to give examples: "Kill him directly? Or die in a game trap?"
"For example, the girl in front had her limbs and body parts replaced by dolls in the process of grabbing the doll over and over again. The first thing that was replaced was the mouth. She couldn't even scream. The next thing was the legs. She could walk whenever she wanted. Don’t open it!”
"After that comes the hands, then the torso, and finally the head. Leaving the head last will certainly make humans feel desperate!"
The child's voice was full of malice. It was counting the process of Tong Wenwen turning into a doll. The bear's paw was placed on its mouth, as if it was snickering.
What followed was the process of An Xiangwen being attacked.
Just as An Xiangwen himself guessed, his physical condition is bound to the game character, and any injuries to the game character will be synchronized to reality after the game ends.
"As for why it's not synchronized in real time? Of course it's to let people play for a while~ The later you realize it, the more injuries you'll suffer."
"However, it is different in other racing games. As long as the car overturns and explodes, the person will be surrounded by flames. Let me think about it... Since the opening of the game, a total of three people have died in this way."
The teddy bear is so treasured that it can even list all the people who died in its arcade. It remembers it very well. These are its achievements.
Bai Su originally wanted to start eating directly, but when he heard the teddy bear talking about the process of Tong Wenwen transforming into a doll, he stopped and listened.
The teddy bear told another story about An Xiangwen's injury and contacted the arcade to accuse him of taking shortcuts in the hot pot restaurant's secret room. Bai Su felt that the supernatural had control over the mall.
In this case, he had a question: "Can you see our actions?"
Baisu has shown abnormalities in many places. Human beings are a bit self-defeating, so what about the Qiqiao Game Hall?
The teddy bear was a little unhappy at being interrupted, but he still gave the answer to the "prey before his death" in his eyes: "My eyes are everywhere with cameras."
In other words... Bai Su immediately came to a conclusion.
The bathroom where the toilet ghost is, and the underground where the rotting corpse is, can't be seen in the arcade.
As for the clothing store, he remembered that the camera there was shattered when the mannequin barely moved.
Therefore, Qiqiao Game Hall does not know.
It doesn't know his reality.
Bai Su suddenly showed a look of understanding, smiled slightly, and said in a long voice: "That's it..."
The teddy bear also became excited. .
It feels that the time it has left for humans to delay death is almost up. Since humans don’t choose how to die, then let it make the decision.
It will give humans the most direct way to die.
As everyone knows, the "prey" in its eyes also has the same idea.
…
When Bai Su faced the teddy bear for the second time, he still didn't dodge the sharp claws that could poke three bloody holes. He reached forward with his hand, put it on the tip of the nail, and then squeezed it tightly.
Nothing appeared on the palm that was supposed to be scratched. The excited teddy bear noticed something strange, so he continued to move his hand forward, and then closed his other paw from above, trying to grab it with one Take the prey away with your posture.
Afterwards, the teddy bear's right paw stopped in mid-air, and its left paw pierced into the human body.
This is different from other human torsos that the supernatural has penetrated in the past. There is no softness of blood and flesh, no crispness of cutting bones, and no warm liquid flowing in the center of the left claw.
……what happened?
It seemed to pierce a cloud.
The soft touch wrapped around the left paw, and strands of thin threads surrounded it from all directions, first lingering gently, then surrounding the foreign objects in circles, and finally forming a cocoon shape.
It seemed like there was a strong contraction and tightening, and then...then the teddy bear lost the feeling of his left paw.
It was as if it disappeared out of thin air, or in other words, its claws melted.
Integrated into a "human" body.
The teddy bear's thinking was a little stagnant and he couldn't keep up with the development of things. He lowered his head.
It saw that its left paw was now a flat section, the dark brown inner core was also dyed white, and strands of cotton-like material of the same color climbed up from the fracture.
Looking at the other right paw, there was a white mist wrapped around the base of the right paw, which made it unable to press down.
The initiator of everything stood there, looking at the teddy bear with clear black and white eyes, his neck slightly raised, and his hands raised upward, making a gesture asking for a hug.
A smile appeared on his face.
It was a greedy smile that reached straight into his eyes.
