Cheng Miao said incoherently, as if he had already seen Liu Xue, who had long been disemboweled, standing tremblingly behind Dr. Xu, but his body was ready to escape.
Dr. Xu's eyes flashed with fear, he turned around crazily, grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand and slashed backwards wildly.
Take advantage of now! Cheng Miao turned around and ran away. As soon as he entered the bedroom door, he closed it tightly. He picked up the folding stool leaning against the wall and stood by the door, intending to give Dr. Xu a good start as he came in through the door.
Cheng Miao suppressed his breathing, and heard his own intense heartbeat in his ears. She swallowed, something didn't seem right... There was no movement.
Cheng Miao felt something bad. He was hesitating whether to open the door when he suddenly felt the sound of wind rushing past his ears, accompanied by the sharp sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air and heading towards his head.
Cheng Miao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously rolled forward, narrowly avoiding the kitchen knife slashed at the back of his head.
Cheng Miao looked at the ferocious figure that suddenly appeared in front of him. At this time, Dr. Xu's fragile nerves had been broken by Cheng Miao's previous ghost story, and now he was crazy.
Although the ghost in this dungeon of Love attacks people with a knife, walls and doors cannot stop him... Ghosts in ghost stories are usually stopped by doors, right? ?
Very good, original and unexpected, Cheng Miao thought calmly.
"Hey hey hey... there's a ghost! There's a ghost!" Dr. Xu, who was mumbling crazy things, looked at Cheng Miao with not only malice but also subtle fear in his eyes.
Holding the folding stool in his hand tightly, Cheng Miao quickly looked around the bedroom, thinking about where to break the situation.
You can't knock a ghost to death with a folding stool, right?
Doctor Xu approached step by step, and Cheng Miao's shoulders had already touched the human skeleton placed behind the door.
A biting chill came from his shoulders, and the skeleton Cheng Miao came into contact with did not look like an ordinary plastic material. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Miao suddenly had an idea. Could it be that Dr. Xu skinned his last two victims, Liu Xue and Aunt Li, and turned them into skeleton specimens?
He is indeed a pervert!
Not allowing Cheng Miao to think about it, Dr. Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped forward and slashed at Cheng Miao with a kitchen knife!
Cheng Miao made up her mind and raised the folding chair in front of her. Then she heard a "bang!" and Cheng Miao felt as if she had been hit by a speeding car. Her mouth was cracked by the shock and her chest was tight. There is a fishy sweetness in the throat.
Cheng Miao was aroused by the pain. She desperately took out a hand, held the fruit knife hidden in her clothes, and stabbed Dr. Xu hard.
This was a hopeless move. After all, the other party was a spirit who could enter the room without opening the door.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Miao felt the touch that penetrated the soft body, and only heard Dr. Xu cry out in pain. It was too late to give this scum a few more blows. Cheng Miao followed the impact of the previous blow and moved backwards. Fall down.
Everything happened in an instant. The fallen Cheng Miao knocked down the cold and harsh skeleton, but did not hit the wall behind him as expected. Instead, his body seemed to have hit a cardboard, and he rolled straight into a dark darkroom.
Cheng Miao, who fell on a pile of skeletons, felt pain all over his body. What was stronger than the smell of dust in his mouth and nose was the burnt smell that he could faintly smell from the beginning but could not find the source of.
Cheng Miao struggled to get up and hid in the darkness before he had time to observe the situation in the darkroom.
After waiting for a long time, it was quiet outside, and the crazy murderer Dr. Xu did not appear.
Cheng Miao cautiously poked his head out. The bedroom was clean, and there were no blood stains on the floor. Even the fruit knife inserted into Dr. Xu's body was gone. Only the folding chair that saved Cheng Miao's life was lying on the floor.
Cheng Miao breathed a sigh of relief, walked out a few steps, picked up a folding chair, and sat against the wall to adjust his breathing, which was already disordered.
I don't know whether it was because he broke into the darkroom during the fight, or because Cheng Miao injured Dr. Xu with a fruit knife. In short, the non-human and ghostly thing disappeared into the clinic as if it had never appeared before.
Cheng Miao rested for a while, took a look at the darkroom set up in the house that was too dim to see clearly, opened the door and stretched out his head, "Ergou, give me your flashlight!"
The three people who were bored outside saw Cheng Miao appearing behind the door with messy hair and gray face. There was only a pair of dark brown eyes on his face, which were still as bright and scary.
"Sister Miaomiao, what's wrong with you?" Ergou handed over the flashlight and looked in curiously, "Is there anything in the room?"
"There's a ghost." Cheng Miao took the flashlight and closed the door, not caring about the three children outside who were frightened by his words.
A ray of snow-white light entered the darkroom. After confirming again and again that it was not a murder scene, Cheng Miao stepped in.
The darkroom should have been remodeled by Dr. Xu himself. A small room was separated with a paper door, and a skeleton was placed to cover it... It is unknown how Dr. Xu usually enters and exits the darkroom.
Cheng Miao knelt down and carefully observed the two skeletons that he had hit. Sure enough, knife marks could be vaguely seen under the various marks made with oil-based pens.
At this point, the clues pointed to by each hint have been made clear.
Needless to say, "people are not people", and "things are not things" refers to the fact that the skeleton specimen that everyone thinks is not just a medical object, but was once a living person wrapped in flesh and blood.
As for "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" should imply the method of clearing the level. As Dr. Xu's last victim, Liu Xue's body was even taken out and displayed as a decoration.
As long as the boss in this dungeon is properly buried, you can escape from the compound and clear the Novice Village.
It's just... Cheng Miao looked at the darkroom hesitantly, not sure whether he wanted to continue exploring.
So far, Dr. Xu has not been found to have pedophilia, and his motive for kidnapping and killing so many children has not been found. Although he did not rule out the possibility that he was a perverted murderer, Cheng Miao intuitively felt that there were other reasons for Dr. Xu's behavior.
Although the way to clear the level is now laid out in front of him, Cheng Miao still feels slightly unhappy at not being able to explore the complete background of the dungeon.
After estimating the last time Liu Xue appeared, Cheng Miao concluded that there was still a certain amount of time. I no longer hesitated now and took the time to search the darkroom.
The flashlight's irradiation range is limited. Fortunately, although it is a private place, it is not completely isolated. Several small, square windows were opened on the outer wall of the darkroom, letting in a few rays of outside light.
The darkroom is small, with huge bookshelves on both walls. The bookshelves are filled with ancient books and folk remedies, sometimes mixed with anecdotes about the treatment of ethnic minorities.
It is impossible to read the books on these two bookshelves in a short time. Cheng Miao firmly believes that the game will not have such a boring plot.
Cheng Miao observed the bookshelf carefully and suddenly found that there was an empty space for a book in one corner of the overcrowded bookshelf.
The location is inconspicuous, so you can't find it if you look at it one by one. There was a thin layer of dust on the empty space. It seemed that the book had been taken away for a long time...
Cheng Miao looked around to see what book Dr. Xu would take out from the darkroom...
In the flash of lightning, Cheng Miao thought of the medical book wrapped in a bookcase that was placed on Dr. Xu's bedside.
