my weird life

Chapter 12 The Lantern of Contagion

Blood smears the entire screen.

A bloodshot eye grew out of the screen!

Eyeballs fixed on Su Wu, the voice of 'Huang Zhicheng' came from the speaker of the mobile phone: "I saw you!"

"I see you!"

Su Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he threw the phone far away.

The phone hit the brick wall and landed in the corner, sending up a cloud of dust.

The screen was still on, but the blood stains on the screen disappeared without a trace.

With his palms on the ground, Su Wu got up from the ground and walked to the corner to look at his mobile phone.

Except for the traces of bumps on the corners, the phone is not damaged, and the screen still shows the group chat interface. The last group chat record in the 'work group' was sent by 'Huang Zhicheng': "I saw you!"

"That's it?"

He frowned, picked up his phone again, clicked on the personal settings interface of the work group, and directly exited the group.

I waited quietly in the small temple for a few minutes with my mobile phone.

The phone is fine.

I have not been drawn into the work group again.

"It seems that this kind of weirdness is spread through the social account of 'Huang Zhicheng', or that work group, and it should have nothing to do with the phone itself.

However, 'Huang Zhicheng' just said that it saw me, so will it take me as a target?
If you catch me, can you still drag me back to continue working overtime?
Also, 'Huang Zhicheng' just uttered harsh words in the group, but didn't come out to take me away on the spot. Is it because Xiaomiao itself evaded or blocked its arrest of me? "

Thinking of this, Su Wu felt a little angry.

It has come to this point, the damn thing still wants to squeeze itself!
'Gurrrrrr...'

There was a sound from Su Wu's abdomen.

He rubbed his stomach and felt that his hunger was increasing rapidly.

When he was flipping through various information just now, he already felt a little hungry. He didn't expect that in just ten minutes, he couldn't bear this hunger.

Did your future self not eat dinner?
Hungry too fast.

But this also reminded myself that I should prepare some daily necessities in advance and find a place near this small temple to store them.

By the time I really start escaping in reality, I can save a lot of trouble.And reducing the frequency of going out can effectively reduce the probability of the lantern trick killing itself.

Su Wu left the mobile phone in the small temple, dragged the ghost hand under his right armpit, and walked out of the small temple.

At this time, the red lanterns all over the sky have just disappeared, and it is the time when the neon lights on the street are flickering.

As soon as he got out of the small temple, he directly locked on to a small non-staple food shop tens of meters away, and ran over there.

Hunger burned like a fire in his stomach.

After only five or six steps, Su Wu felt weak in all limbs and his heart was pounding.

It seems that every step just now, even the moment of standing in the temple, has caused a huge consumption of the energy accumulated in his body!
How could this be?
very wrong!

Su Wu slowed down his pace, the first thing that came to his mind was the weird work group of 'Huang Zhicheng'.

But he immediately denied this speculation.

The hunger has been increasing, and the hunger has already begun to stand out before the phone is turned on.

Then, the culprit for the rapid consumption of energy should be the ghost hand under the arm!

It does too much harm!
So far, Su Wu has not found any positive value in it.

Fortunately, this is in a simulated future, and you can come back if you die.

If it was in reality, he would definitely be dragged to death by the hands of ghosts, and then death would be a one-and-done death.

The distance of seven to eighty meters made Su Wu feel like running a mountain cross-country marathon.

And it is a marathon when the energy is about to be exhausted and there is no food supply.

Because he was afraid of the strange appearance of the lantern, Su Wu tried his best to maintain his speed.

When he ran to the door of the small non-staple food store, he almost exhausted all the energy in his body, kneeling and sitting in front of the freezer at the door of the store, panting for a few breaths, then managed to stand up and walk into the store.

The electronic voice also faintly sounded at this time: "You have realized the temporary talent: Hunger and Endurance (White)."

"Hungry and Hungry (White): You are the kind of ordinary people who can endure hunger. When you are very hungry, you can maintain 40% of your mobility compared to the normal state."

Su Wu had no time to pay attention to the notification sound in his ear, and instead looked at the non-staple food store in front of him.

This non-staple food store opened in an aisle.

Diagonally opposite is a nail salon with lights on but no one in sight.

The store is small, with only a row of glass counters in the front and a row of small food shelves in the back.

Between the counter and the shelves, there is a narrow passage that can only accommodate one person.

Normally, the shopkeeper should be standing in the aisle, and if the customer wants something, he will turn around and help him get it.

At this time, the owner of this small shop was not there, and he did not know where he had gone.

Might have died somewhere.

"is the boss around?"

"anyone there?"

While Su Wu shouted at the door, he walked into the store to get biscuits, milk and other small foods.

He didn't expect anyone to respond to him.

But at this moment, there was a thumping sound from the small dark door at the end of the passage, as if someone had heard Su Wu's shout and knocked on the door to respond to him.

"Someone?"

He looked at the dark door at the end, approached it slowly, and asked as he walked, "Are you inside?"

The banging sound from inside the door became more and more intense, but there was no response to Su Wu.

Finally, Su Wu stopped at the door, he grabbed the handle with one hand, and said: "If you don't make a sound, I will open the door."

There may be no one inside, only a puppy and cat,
Or maybe there is no pet, but a kind of weird intention to lure Su Wu to open the door.

But when he opened the door right away, it was equivalent to wading through the thunder ahead of time.

Go through all the thunder in the simulation, and you can avoid many dangers in reality.

bang bang bang!
The sound of the impact became urgent, as if someone was nodding his head constantly, reminding Su Wu: "Hurry up, open the door!"

Su Wu no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, turned the handle and opened the door directly!

He was leaning against the shelf, and was blocked by the opened door, leaving only the parts below his ankles exposed.

thump!
It was as if someone was sticking to the door, and suddenly the door was pulled open, and he fell to the ground with his head forward.

Half of the man's body was limply pressed against Su Wu's feet.

Su Wu could clearly feel the bones and flesh of the person who was pressing on his feet. He tried to move the soles of his feet to remind the person who was pressing on him and get him up quickly.

But the man didn't move.

died?

A thought flashed through his mind.

Hearing the sound of something turning back and forth in mid-air, Su Wu instantly thought of something, and a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

He gritted his teeth, keeping himself covered by the door all the time, staying silent in this triangular area.

Gulululu——

The sound of objects rolling outside suddenly ran over the door panel.

Su Wu raised his head,
Seeing a middle-aged man's head on top of his head looking at him with eyes full of fear, the head has a pair of eyes on the bridge of the nose, and it is slightly fat, "His" lips moved: "Help me, help--"

Before he finished speaking, the head turned into a crimson blood lantern.

Su Wu's head flew up,

The two lanterns turned out of the lane and rose into the sky.

In the small grocery store, Su Wu's headless corpse let go of his hand, the small door was swinging casually, and the corpse fell forward, pressing on another headless corpse.

"The blood lanterns in the sky are transformed from the heads of living people!"

"Those heads will think that they are not dead, maintain the will to survive, and ask the living for help!"

"And the moment they see a living person, the head of the living person they see, together with themselves, will instantly turn into a blood lantern!"

Thoughts flashed by frequently, and Su Wu's eyes fell into complete darkness.
