Su Qingyu stood up: "This room is not safe, we have to leave quickly."
Luo Zixuan frowned: "Where will you stay at night?"
Su Qingyu put her backpack on her back and replied in a somewhat flat tone: "Bai Huo and Zhuang Xiaodie will continue to stay in the church to see if they can find an opportunity to communicate with the saint at night.
I was going to find Lily. Lily said she had a secret to tell me. This secret might be related to the pollution source in the town. Although I didn’t know if it was a trap, the risk was worth taking.
You and Brother Zhu should stay in the hotel. Be careful of the hotel owner. He should have become weird this afternoon. "
Luo Zixuan frowned: "Just leave the two of us in the hotel. That hotel is not peaceful. I found that except for the room where we live, all the other rooms are filled with wax figures.
There would be strange noises in the room at night, footsteps in the corridor, and water dripping in the bathroom. There were too few people, so I was afraid it would be unsafe.
We are teammates, and the more dangerous the situation, the more we need to be together. "
"Everyone has a mission. I can't waste time in this town." After saying that, Su Qingyu exchanged a few words with Zhuang Xiaodie, reminding her to pay attention to safety in the church, and then left here.
Luo Zixuan pursed her lips, then looked at Zhu Shanhai: "You are not allowed to snore at night, and you are not allowed to go out when there is a power outage. Now we are the only two staying in the hotel. If you die, I will be in danger."
Zhu Shanhai touched his head in embarrassment: "Don't worry, I won't run around."
Late at night, on the dark streets of the town, even the roadside lights have been turned off.
The moon hangs high in the sky, shining lonely light.
Su Qingyu felt that someone had been following her.
Looking back, there was no one.
She took out the flashlight she got from the [Infinite Corridor] copy and turned it on to illuminate the road ahead. After walking for nearly ten minutes, the flashlight started to flash.
Su Qingyu patted the flashlight.
This time, the flashlight went out completely and ran out of power.
This flashlight has neither a charging hole nor a place to change the battery.
It's like a one-off.
When the flashlight went out, footsteps came from behind Su Qingyu.
She looked back, but there was no one.
Her pace quickened, and so did the footsteps behind her.
Su Qingyu hung the goat pendant obtained in the [Gongyang Village] copy on her chest.
The sound effects in my head kept ringing.
The noise made Su Qingyu's ears ring.
Simon followed her, never leaving.
Finally reaching the door of Lily's house, Su Qingyu stopped, and the footsteps behind her also stopped.
At this time, Su Qingyu discovered that there was a clown mask not far behind him.
This mask is very similar to the clown mask worn by the conductor in the [Metro Line 4] copy.
Ignore the weird mask.
Su Qingyu knocked on Lily's door.
Lily was wearing pure white silk pajamas. When she opened the door and saw Su Qingyu, she smiled warmly and invited her in.
"I knew you were coming."
Su Qingyu took out the gift converted from the tribute card, which was an exquisite blue and white handbag decorated with gems.
"This is for you." Su Qingyu tried to make Lily feel more favorable to her by giving gifts.
Lily accepted the gift and said happily: "There have been many strangers like you in this town, but you are the only one who is most thoughtful and will prepare a gift for me.
Obviously at the beginning, I preferred the short-haired girl traveling with you.
It's such a shame that she doesn't want to get close to me.
Because of my incident with the Holy Son, my reputation is not good in the small town. Some rude foreigners would break into my home and rummage through my home, which scared me.
They don't know that the town's police chief is not a vegetarian. As long as I call the police, those outsiders will be dragged away. "
The outcome is self-evident.
Entering the room, Su Qingyu saw that the flowers on the windowsill had withered, and she smelled a faint smell of wax in the room.
Lily cleaned up a room for Su Qingyu, then sat on the soft bed and talked to her: "In this small town, people who take too much holy water will gradually forget many things, and their ability to move their limbs will decrease, and they will eventually become wax figure.
I heard that although those people have turned into wax statues, their consciousness still exists. Sometimes, you can still see them blinking at you.
The saint believes that these people turned into wax figures are still residents of the town.
Therefore, every once in a while, a wax figure exhibition will be held. At the wax figure exhibition, every resident must take a wax figure home to place it.
Have you ever been to a small town police station?
If you go there, you will find that damaging a complete wax statue is illegal in this town. "
Su Qingyu looked around the room, but she didn't see the wax figure.
Lily understood that Su Qingyu was looking for the wax figure, so she tapped the wooden floor with the heel of her high heels.
Wooden floors are hollow.
"I have hidden all the wax figures." Lily narrowed her eyes, "You can just pretend you didn't hear those noisy cries at night."
Su Qingyu nodded immediately.
Lily held Su Qingyu's hand and said happily: "That's great. Let me tell you another secret, that is, I have saved a lot of holy water. As long as I drink all the holy water, I can turn into a wax statue.
I need you to do me a favor, that is, when I turn into a wax figure, you can help me modify the fine lines and spots on my face. I want to become more beautiful.
Tomorrow, please take me to the wax figure exhibition.
All I had to do was talk to the man responsible for transporting the wax figure, and I had a chance to become an exhibit. "
Su Qingyu was a little shocked: "Why did you do this?"
"I told you today, I want you to help me see the Holy Son again." Lily seemed to have made a lot of determination, with a peaceful and warm smile on her face, "When the Holy Son just entered the church, Come to me occasionally.
Recently, my chances of seeing him have become less and less.
It has been a month since we last met.
I heard that there were more bandages on his body, so the contamination may have worsened.
If he completely transformed into an innkeeper, he would never recognize me again. "
Su Qingyu felt a little heavy.
Before the hotel owner turned weird, he told Su Qingyu that Lily could not be trusted.
At night, Lily would cut open the client's stomach with a knife, scoop out the fat, and make fat wax.
She needs to gather enough raw materials to make wax dolls and participate in exhibitions.
Su Qingyu asked tentatively: "I don't have wax, how can I modify your face after you become a wax statue?"
"I've prepared everything. The ingredients are in the refrigerator. You can just use them tomorrow."
There were solidified blocks of wax in the refrigerator, which were made from the body fat of people who came over as guests without gaining Lily's favorability, or of foreigners who forcibly broke into her home.
"You really want to do this?"
Lily nodded, holding the necklace hanging around her neck: "From the time when groups of strangers came to this town, saying things like pollution and weirdness, I knew that the whole world had changed. How could this be a paradise?
This place is just a beautiful dream compiled by the Son and the Saint. "
After saying that, her eyes moved behind Su Qingyu, where Simon stood.
“Everyone can see it, everyone pretends not to see it.
Do you know why?
This is because we are afraid.
We are afraid that the illusion of peace will be broken, that there is no hope or salvation here like the outside world. "
