When the system is flooded

"social practice!"

For safety's sake, Xiang Beifei asked Xiao Hei to follow his grandfather, while he quickly turned around and ran towards the alley.

Chapter 297 The Shack

The old woman in sackcloth was walking staggeringly in the alley, the iron bucket in her hand did not hinder her pace in the slightest.She was dressed very thickly, wrapped in a big padded jacket, and a coarse gray scarf was wrapped around her neck. The scarf was dusty, like a rag.

The hand holding the iron bucket was wearing a pair of gray gloves, which looked like snakeskin. They were brand new and seemed to have been bought not long ago, but there were some dark red stains on them, like dried blood, and some blue spots , like bile or something.

The old woman was tightly wrapped except for her old head.

Pedestrians on the side of the road hurried past, frowned at her, and then looked at the iron bucket in her hand. Seeing the fishy smell in the iron bucket, they all covered their noses.She didn't seem to care, just stretched out her hand to cover the uncovered gray cloth on the iron bucket.

Xiang Beifei kept following behind, like a passerby, looking at the old woman's system log while walking, wanting to know more about the old woman's past, but he soon discovered another strange thing.

The old woman's system log time can be traced back, only to May 3023, 5.

That is about eight years ago.

And the first log of the system reads a prompt:

[Novice task: Please cut a book cover for the system comprehensive book, task reward: a pair of scissors]

and many more!Novice task?

Generally, only newly awakened systems will release novice missions. Could it be that the old lady just awakened the system eight years ago?

"Or—"

An unbelievable thought flashed through Xiang Beifei's mind.

He stared at the old woman with serious eyes.

The old woman walked out of the crowded alley with an iron bucket in her hand. This place was already out of the street of the wholesale market, and there was a dilapidated residential area nearby. Most of the employees working in the wholesale market lived here for the convenience of going to work.

The house is a shack built of various simple industrial wooden boards, very irregular, dilapidated and crooked, and the windows of the shed are even deformed and sealed with some yellow scotch tape.Some houses are container houses. There is no place to dry clothes, so they hang a rope directly on the utility pole by the roadside.

The old woman walked around a clothesline beside a row of container houses and walked towards a forest.There are fewer and fewer people here, and there are almost no houses, only a few simple stone houses, but the doors are gone, and there are no people living there.

There are only old banyan trees with tangled roots all around. The banyan trees grow lush and lush, and the crowns are extremely tall, but they also block the light, making it look a little gloomy.

She walked towards a simple shed. The shed was covered with a layer of iron sheet and painted with blue paint. It had been many years. The rags and cans, the corrosion of the rain all year round made these things crowded together, and no one cleaned them up.

There are two lush banyan trees next to this shed, which cover the shed, the light is very dim, standing under the tree, there is a cool breeze blowing, whistling, and the leaves rolled up on the ground are beating slowly with.

The old woman didn't realize that someone was following behind her. She carried the iron bucket and walked towards the dilapidated shed. The wooden door of the shed looked crumbling. There was only a chain on the door, but it was not locked. She pushed the wooden door open, and the door The chains on the bed rattled, and the sound was particularly eerie in the woods.

After entering the door, she slowly closed the wooden door again, and the iron chain collided again, making everyone clear in the silent woods.

Xiang Beifei stood behind the tree beside the hut, looking around.

"It's really weird for a person to live alone in this wilderness."

He saw a few bamboo poles on the open space next to the shed, and there seemed to be a bunch of black things hanging on them. When he walked over, he saw that it was the intestines of some kind of desolate beast, which had been dried and turned black, exuding a pungent smell. There are also some flies that are constantly flying around.

Ever since I came here, there has been a strange smell all around, as if something is rotten, constantly floating out from the shed.The shed is a little leaning, and it is a dangerous building. There are some black things on it, like blood, which makes the shed look even more weird.

Xiang Bei flew to the side of the shed and took two steps. He saw a vegetable field on the side, but it had long since been deserted, and it was covered with waist-high weeds. This kind of grass was so lush that it seemed to be still black His breath seemed to be corroded by some kind of Yin Qi all year round.

He frowned slightly, because normally, this kind of black grass can only be seen in the wilderness outside the territory. This is the land of Kyushu, and there are very few such weird grasses.

Xiang Beifei carefully pushed aside the tall weeds, and the pungent smell became more and more intense, making him unable to hold his breath. When he approached, he found a big pit in front of him. Countless bugs are crawling, these bugs are climbing up and down, they are black, they are a kind of black ladybug.

There are tens of thousands of ladybugs, covered with a layer of Yin Qi, covering an entire range, and making buzzing sounds from time to time.Xiang Beifei didn't want to startle the snake, he stepped on the flying sword lightly, jumped up, came to the top of the tree, and looked into the deep hole.

The bones of all kinds of desolate beasts are actually scattered in the deep pit!

These desolate beasts seemed to be torn apart, half of their bodies were cut off, leaving only the skeletons, and the black ladybugs crawled around on the skeletons, covering the skeletons, as if they were building a nest, or like Like eating.

"What is this doing?"

Xiang Beifei looked at the big pit in amazement, did he throw the skeletons of desolate beasts here to raise Gu?

While he was watching, there was a sudden sound at the window on the other side of the shed.

clatter!clatter!clatter!

The muddy face of the old woman appeared on the glass window, and she tapped the window regularly with her fingers.

As the frequency of her tapping kept changing, there was a "rustling" sound from the pit on the ground, and the skeletons covered by the ladybugs seemed to be wriggling, as if something was about to crawl out from underneath.

Whoa!

A childish little hand stretched out from under the skeleton!

It was the hand of a child, very thin and pale, with black ladybugs crawling on its arms.

Whoa!

Another hand stretched out from the pile of bones, and then a thin little girl crawled up from under the pile of bones.

"Grandma is calling me."

The little girl looked no more than seven or eight years old. She was covered in ladybugs, but those ladybugs didn't bite her, but quickly crawled off her body.Giggling, she leaped up the edge of the pit.

The old woman stopped knocking on the window, and quickly turned and disappeared into the darkness of the house.

"I'll play with you later."

The little girl squatted by the pit, grinning at the black ladybugs.

She smiled very stiffly, and two of her front teeth were missing, as if she had reached the age of teeth replacement, and she was still holding a dirty teddy bear in her hand. The teddy bear's chest was damaged, and what was exposed inside was not cotton, but It's a swarthy ladybug.

The little girl ran towards the side door behind the shed with the teddy bear in her arms, and quickly disappeared through the side door and went into the house.

Xiang Beifei stood on the treetop, looking at the little girl's back in surprise.

He couldn't be sure if the little girl was human, because the child hadn't awakened the system yet, and didn't have a system interface.But what he can be sure of is that the little girl has vitality, but the vitality is faintly visible, as if it is suppressed by something and will be extinguished in the next moment.

A little girl who can play around in a bunch of black ladybugs doesn't look like a normal person.

"Giggle!"

The little girl's laughter came from the shed.

Click!Click!Click!

The laughter was accompanied by a strange sound, sour and creaking, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.

There was a side door at the back of the shed that was not closed, and that was where the little girl entered just now.There is a line of dark black stains on the ground, extending from the side door to the big pit. It may be the blood stains formed by dragging the corpses of desolate beasts all the year round. It looks quite shocking.

"Go and see."

Jumping down from the treetops, Xiang Beifei approached the side door cautiously.

There is a musty smell in the house, but it seems to be mixed with the smell of motor oil, and even a strange smell. All kinds of messy smells are mixed together, like a hodgepodge of soup, it is hard to imagine that someone lives here in an embarrassing environment.

After thinking for a moment, he walked into the shed.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but when he walked into the shed, he obviously felt that the surrounding light dimmed, and a gloomy atmosphere permeated the surroundings.The further you go in, the lower the visibility. The ground of the house is still dirt, which is very solid and covered with slippery moss.

When walking in, the voice has become very low, and the outside wind seems to be unable to come in, but the "creaking" sound inside the house is getting clearer and clearer.

There are many tools, sickles and axes on both sides of the house, which seem to be stained with blood, and there are some broken bones in the corner.

Xiang Beifei's perception is very keen, he always feels as if something is staring at him secretly, and he feels uncomfortable.

It was like the back hall of a shed, with a door leading to the front hall, but only a rag hung over the door like a curtain.The door curtain was rotten into strips of cloth, and when it was flicked gently, the creaking sound came from behind the door curtain.

Xiang Beifei took two steps forward, planning to take a sneak peek over there.

But before he took two steps, suddenly——

Tick!

There seemed to be some water dripping down on it, he almost subconsciously measured it to the side, and the drop rubbed the corner of his brow and dripped down.

When the thing passed the tip of his nose, he quickly smelled a bloody smell.

This is not water at all, but a drop of blood!

He raised his head suddenly!

Immediately after, the breathing stagnates slightly!

On the dim beams, there were actually strange eyeballs hanging. These eyeballs seemed to be picked off by someone, and hung in the air together with the blood vessels. Each eyeball stared coldly at Xiang Beifei below. !

Chapter 298 Teeth

Xiang Beifei took a deep breath.

He finally understands why he always feels as if something is staring at him in the dark, maybe it's these weird things!

But when he took a closer look, he found that these eyeballs were not human eyes, but more like the eyes of many desolate beasts.It's like who killed the desolate beast, had a special evil taste, took off his eyeballs, and hung them on the beams of the house.

The eyes of these desolate beasts vary from big to small, the big ones are about the size of a fist, and the small ones are even as small as fingernails. Because they are all round, like glass balls, Xiang Beifei couldn't fully recognize them through the eyeballs for a while. What kind of desolate beast.

He looked at these eyeballs for a while, red, blue, black, rich colors, some eyeballs have vertical pupils, resembling cat-like desolate beasts, some eyeballs have triangular pupils, which may be a type of landron dragon, and some pupils even It looks like a mosquito coil in circles, and there are still a few small commas in the pupils of the eyeballs.

These eyeballs were all suspended in mid-air, dangling slightly, like trophies.

Xiang Beifei stared at these eyeballs. After seeing that there was no movement in these eyeballs, he took two steps forward cautiously.

However, he soon discovered that the eyeballs hanging on the beams turned their pupils to look at him!

No matter how courageous Xiang Beifei was, he still had to mutter that these eyeballs were controlled by something, making him very uncomfortable to stare at.

While looking at these eyeballs vigilantly, he continued to walk forward, and those eyeballs kept looking at him, because they were not aggressive, so he didn't move, but soon he found that there were many abnormalities in this shed. The place.

There was a tail of a claw-tailed monkey hanging on the wall. The tail was very strange, as if it had been grafted onto the wall. When Xiang Beifei walked over, the tail trembled twice and turned to him. The claws on the tail were still It is slightly distorted.

The chair on the left was covered with a stripped bearskin. The bearskin was connected to the bear's head, like a specimen. As soon as Xiang Beifei approached, the bear's head suddenly raised its head slightly and looked at Xiang Beifei. It didn't growl. , just opened his mouth slightly, and made a strange sound.

The more Xiang Beifei looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he had already passed through the back hall of the shed and approached the door curtain, and the creaking sound became more and more clear, as if he was hiding behind the door curtain.

He cautiously opened the door curtain.

The front hall was gloomy, and the light seemed to be impenetrable, only a few shelves with some plastic bags on them could be vaguely seen, and there was a table in the middle of the room, and the old woman stood beside the table, with her back to him.

The crunching sound came from the old woman.

And that little girl was standing beside her, holding a heart in her hand, looking at Xiang Beifei with a smile.

"Want to eat?" the little girl asked innocently.

If it wasn't for the mottled blood on the little girl's face, Xiang Beifei would definitely think that she was a very cute child.

His eyes fell on the little girl's hand, and that heart was the heart of the one-armed crab he had just seen in Feng Kang's office.

It's just that the heart has lost its activity at this time, and there are a few small tooth marks on it, and more than half of it has been bitten off.Only then did he realize that the sound was actually chewing!

The old woman seemed to have heard the voice, stopped the movements of her hands, and turned around slowly. A muddy face appeared in front of Xiang Beifei, and the wrinkles were full of blood.

She showed a weird smile, her two only front teeth were bloodshot, which was extremely weird.

"My grandma said, are you hungry?" The little girl looked at Xiang Beifei.

"Not hungry."

Xiang Beifei stared at the two people in front of him.

The old woman opened her mouth next to her, and she made a "Yah Yah" sound in her throat. She seemed unable to speak, and only her two teeth were swinging up and down in the hollow mouth.

Xiang Beifei suddenly discovered that the two teeth of the old woman seemed to match the missing front teeth of the little girl!

"Grandma is getting old."

The little girl giggled, "She has no teeth! I just lent my two front teeth to grandma."

She pointed to her missing front teeth, but after she finished speaking, she looked a little lost: "But it's uncomfortable to have no teeth, and I don't like other teeth."

After a while, she raised her head again, with a strange light in her eyes: "Can you lend me your teeth?"

Xiang Beifei looked at the little girl and said, "How many do you want?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, but soon cheered up: "Two! I only want two!"

"Come and get it." Xiang Beifei said.

"it is good!"

The little girl was like a child who didn't know much about the world, she really jumped and ran towards Xiang Bei.

"I want your front teeth, the top two."
