"What's in the box?" Xiaolan patted his pants and stood up.
Huihui and Xiaotian looked at each other. Xiaotian helped Huihui stand up and said, "I seem to have seen a cloud of fog. Of course, it's also because my glasses are worn out."
"A cloud of fog?" Xiaolan looked at the bulletin screen above her head, then looked at Huihui, "What kind of fog?"
"The moment we opened the box, black mist poured out from inside, blocking our sight." A trace of doubt flashed across Huihui's eyes, "That mist... gave me a not-so-good feeling. "
"Then the mist is the source of happiness?"
"Actually, I also feel that the black mist is weird," Xiaotian looked at Huihui, "The smell smells..."
"Yes, yes! It's the taste!"
"It smells... of death," Xiaotian looked at Xiaolan angrily, "I guess even a child like you can't understand it. In short, it has nothing to do with happiness."
Xiaolan curled her lips and said nothing, thinking to herself, the source of happiness? Black fog? The smell of death?
There are also rats, furbolgs and scarecrows, plus the name Sweet Farm.
A cozy farm full of killing and a source of happiness with the smell of death...
"But in the final analysis, this level is quite simple," Huihui changed the topic, "Of course, the comrade who sacrificed his life is also worth remembering, Amitabha."
Xiaotian thought for a while, "Actually, it's not that simple if you think about it carefully. According to the design of this level, after the four players safely enter the building, they must first sacrifice two people to feed the bears, and the remaining two people will go down to get the box. But if the weight of the remaining two people cannot be balanced..."
Then this level will never be completed.
"Congratulations to the players, the sixth mission is completed, now the mission scores will be tallied."
The scores of the three began to roll. Xiaolan's final score was slightly lower than the two, but this was also expected.
"Come on, let's all come on!" Huihui waved to the two of them.
Xiaotian pushed up his glasses shyly, "Then let's meet outside?"
Xiaolan pretended not to notice and turned her head.
Hui Hui blushed and nodded, and the two figures disappeared.
The announcement screen refreshed, and the seventh mission started.
There are still four tasks left. Although after the tragic fourth task, Xiaolan, who did not score a single point, has been completely reduced to the participating atmosphere group, but out of a responsible attitude towards the registration fee paid by Jasmine, Xiaolan I think I did a pretty good job.
The announcement screen flashed a few times, and a bright F hung alone in the air.
Xiaolan waited for a long time, but no other symbols or letters appeared.
what happened? What the hell kind of rule is this?
"The seventh mission, the girl's prayer, please complete the girl's commission and fulfill her wish."
Xiaolan listened quietly to the introduction of the rules.
Therefore, there is no opponent in this level. If you complete it, you will pass the level. If you fail to complete the task, the mission will fail.
Xiaolan, who likes peace, instantly felt a little more relaxed.
Moreover, fulfilling the girl's wish is what she likes to do the most.
etc.
Xiaolan's smile suddenly froze.
According to the naming rules in the game, could this girl be...
The scene blurred, the announcement screen began to disappear, and the female voice announced again, "Please remember, you cannot defy the girl's choice, you cannot influence the girl's will, and you cannot provide subjective advice to the girl. If you violate it, you will exit the game immediately."
This is the first time that the requirements are so strict.
Xiaolan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. At least, the rules didn't say that she couldn't beat the girl.
If this so-called "girl" is actually a wretched man, then you can't blame yourself for targeting the client.
When he opened his eyes, the surroundings were still dark.
There was just one more candle in front of me.
"That...Sister Tianshen?" A childish voice sounded from behind the candlelight, "Why did you stand up suddenly?"
Xiaolan blinked and took a closer look. Behind the candlelight, a small white face was staring at her with big black and white eyes.
"Ah, I..." Xiaolan glanced around randomly and saw a wooden armchair just behind her legs. She quickly pulled it over and sat on it, "I'll take a look."
"Weren't you looking at the crystal ball just now?" The little girl pointed between the two of them and actively brought her face closer, "Did you see something?"
Xiaolan looked down and realized that the candlelight was not a real candlelight, but the candlelight reflected in a huge crystal ball placed in front of her.
"Candlelight." Xiaolan said, looking at the little girl's approaching face.
The little girl's body suddenly straightened up, "Yes! That's... what I saw last night. Sister Tianshen, I'm not lying. Sister Tianshen, please help me!"
Xiaolan noticed that under the little girl's bright pupils, there were two deep bags under her eyes. Her face was pale and she looked haggard.
"Okay, don't be afraid," Xiaolan said softly, "I'll take a closer look."
She leaned her face towards the crystal ball, and the candle flame slowly enlarged in front of her eyes. Suddenly, everything blurry in the crystal ball rushed towards her overwhelmingly. In the blink of an eye, Xiaolan was lying in a warm and soft place, and her sight shifted from the candle flame. Moved, moved, and moved to a closed white wooden door.
Xiaolan felt her body shaking slightly. Although she was in a warm bed, her hands and feet were still cold and stiff.
The candle was a small orange warm lamp standing on the bedside table. The girl's little body huddled up and stared at the door.
This...should be the child's bedroom.
The bedroom is small but warmly decorated. There are red animals painted on the bed sheets. There is an off-white wardrobe and writing table beside the bed. On the table are a few books and a photo frame whose contents cannot be clearly seen. Next to the table is her. The bedroom door I was staring at right now.
The child's body trembled more violently.
In the middle of the night, the surroundings were silent, and one or two barking dogs could be vaguely heard from a distant place, as well as the sound of dripping water from somewhere.
What is this child afraid of?
I don’t know how long it took, but there were some strange noises outside the door.
Ta...ta...ta...
Like a person dragging his feet slowly, in some places...
Tick...tick...tick...
Xiaolan suddenly thought that the sound sounded like a person walking in the water. The person was stepping on the wet ground with heavy footsteps. Every step he took seemed to require a huge effort.
Ta...ta...
The footsteps stopped at the bedroom door.
The girl wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, biting the corner of the quilt with her mouth, and looked at the door handle tremblingly.
squeak--
The door handle twisted little by little.
Click!
The door and door frame were staggered, and the darkness outside the door seeped into the bedroom through the gaps.
The hinges made a sharp squeaking sound, and the wooden door slowly opened.
Outside the door, there is nothing.
The breeze from the hall stirred the white gauze curtain beside the bed, and the tassels hanging from the gauze curtain hit the wall.
The door was just open, nothing was there, nothing could be seen.
Suddenly, the corners of the quilt that were drooping beside the bed were dented a little, and then the dent slowly rebounded, leaving a mark that looked like a palm print.
The child shrank his feet again.
The child's eyes wandered around the room, anxiously watching every suspicious corner.
Then, her eyes focused on the window.
The blinds were not closed, and the cold and damp night breeze flowed into the bedroom through the windows.
Wow... Wow...
The rope of the blinds moved slightly.
The window leaf stood up, and there were some black water stains on the rope.
The girl covered her face with a quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed.
What a shame, what kind of eyes are you showing? Xiaolan thought to herself, if it were him, he would have rushed out long ago, why are he being frightened here?
She looked at the blinds and then at the windowpane beside her.
A cloud of white mist appeared on the glass.
It was like someone was breathing into the glass.
In the white mist, a twisted shadow slowly appeared.
Xiaolan felt the child's heartbeat getting faster and faster.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the bedroom door slammed shut. At the same time, a gust of wind blew in from the blinds that had not been closed tightly. The night wind blew the gauze curtain high. After the gauze curtain fell, there was a clear and incomparable impression. Out of the shape of a person.
The gauze curtain moved, the human figure disappeared silently, and the curtain drooped naturally, as if nothing had happened.
The fog on the glass windows has disappeared, the blinds are closed tightly, and everything is calm again.
One minute...two minutes...
The child's eyes scanned again to confirm that there was nothing unusual.
Her tense muscles relaxed and she stretched out her hand, intending to turn on the night light next to the bed brighter.
Her hand had not yet touched the lamp.
Snap!
The surroundings instantly fell into darkness.
The lights were turned off.
Her hands stopped in mid-air.
A drop of warm liquid fell into her eyes with a ticking sound.
"Ling..." A long breath sounded in her ears, "Ling... go to sleep... go to sleep... Ling..."
"Did you see it?"
The girl's voice woke up Xiaolan. She raised her head suddenly, and then she noticed that her face had been pressed against the crystal ball.
Xiaolan was still out of breath, and she wiped the sweat from her forehead, "You...your name is Ling?"
The girl raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Yeah."
Xiaolan raised her chin and said in a pretentious tone, "Why does that thing know your name? Ling...can I call you Ling?"
Ling raised her head, smiled slightly, and nodded.
"Ling, have you... recently been to any special place or met any special person? This ghost... assuming she is a ghost, since she knows your name, she should be someone who knew you before she was alive."
Ling pursed her lips as she hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?"
"I...I'm worried that you will think I'm weird. Sister Tianshen, will you think I'm weird?"
Xiaolan said from the bottom of her heart, "Don't worry, I won't be surprised if I hear anything."
This is true.
"I've heard that voice," Ling frowned, "I recognize that voice."
Xiaolan immediately became energetic, "Whose voice is it?"
"Mom," Ling's eyes were full of self-blame, "it's my mother's voice."
"Ah..." Xiaolan leaned back on the seat again, "I'm sorry, that aunt..."
"After what happened, I was so frightened that I wanted to go next door to find my mother." Ling grabbed her little hand in embarrassment, "but I found that my mother was not in the bedroom next door. She was not at home..."
Eh?
"Oh, auntie, I thought..."
Ling tilted her head, "What do you think?"
"Nothing, nothing," Xiaolan prevaricated, thinking that luckily she didn't have time to say her condolences, "So, there was an invisible person in your bedroom last night. She knew your name, voice and So does your mother, and at the same time, your mother herself is missing, right?"
"My mother just disappeared last night," Ling corrected. "I was so scared last night that I fell asleep in my mother's bedroom. But when I woke up, I found that I was back in my bedroom again, and my mother was in the kitchen. I asked my mother, and she said she had been in the bedroom last night and never went out."
Xiaolan listened patiently and nodded steadily.
"Ling, maybe...do you have the habit of sleepwalking?"
"I didn't!" Ling pouted, "I'm not dreaming either! Mom also said I was dreaming, sister Tianshen, didn't you see it all! Why don't you believe me?!"
"No... no, how could I not believe you? Be good, be good, Na Ling, can I go to your home and have a look?"
"Are you going to my house?" The little girl's grievances were swept away, and her eyes became bright again.
"Can I take a look at your bedroom and your... mother?"
"Okay, okay! Then let's leave now!"
"Huh? Now?"
Xiaolan was not familiar with the business yet and didn't know what was special about her current status. She wanted to briefly understand her abilities before starting, but the little girl Ling had already happily walked around the mahogany table between them and pulled her He grabbed Xiaolan's arm and dragged her out of the tent.
Xiaolan turned around and looked at the small tent she was living in, which looked a bit like Wu Ren's Everything Can Be Counted.
"Sister Tianshen, you are so warm!" Ling hugged Xiaolan's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
Ling's body felt a little cool, and when she came under the sun, the little girl's pale face also gained some color.
"Wear more clothes," Xiaolan let the child, who only reached her chest, hang on her arm, "Don't catch a cold."
The streets were bustling with people, and Xiao Lan momentarily had the illusion that he had returned to reality. Ling's home was not far from Xiao Lan's tent. The two walked around the main entrance of a high-end community. Xiao Lan was looking around in surprise. Looking at the gorgeous and exquisite courtyard design in the community, Ling pointed to a mid-rise high-rise building behind a wisteria tree and said, "We are here."
Ling led her into the spacious hallway of Unit 1, turned right, and stopped in front of the elevator door. Ling skillfully took out the key and swiped it with the circular door card hanging on the keychain, and the elevator opened with a sound.
"My home is on the fourth floor." After Ling pressed the button, she held Xiaolan's hand. "It's just that my mother is at work now. She is a little busy and can't go home until evening. Sister Tianshen, can you stay with me at home?" At night? I’ll pay!”
Why does it sound weird?
"It doesn't matter, I can always stay with you when I have time." Xiaolan smiled kindly.
Anyway, I only have you as a customer.
