The end of the world is coming: My waiter is too Buddhist
Chapter 189 Wandering into an illusion
"Well, as long as we are alive, we can create a bright future."
Lin Xiaoxiao said this firmly, but when she turned to look at the wilderness in the rain, she was stunned for a moment.
Where have they come?
Looking up, behind me was a particularly dense patch of willow trees, which formed a circle and blocked all retreat routes.
Not far ahead of them, there seemed to be a huge building complex standing quietly in the heavy rain.
Taking a cautious look at the extraordinarily lush willow trees, Yu Ji frowned and said, "Girl, let's go take a look ahead."
The heavy rain blurred her vision, and since it was already evening, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't see clearly what the building in front of her was.
It is now highly likely that there is no way to catch up with the main force in a short time. Lin Xiaoxiao wants to find a place to hide for the night so that she can set off immediately when daybreak comes.
So, she followed Yu Ji with the child in her arms.
The cement road surface was cracked and shattered due to the overgrown weeds. The two of them stumbled along the way, and Lin Xiaoxiao was sometimes tripped by the roots of the weeds.
It was only a short distance, but it took the two of them five minutes to get through.
Standing under the iron gate, Lin Xiaoxiao used the light of a waterproof flashlight to see the metal sign that was already a little rusty.
"The No. 1 Junior High School in Qingshui Town?"
Reading these words silently, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately thought of the school that Lao Lang had mentioned before. Could it be the one in front of him?
Looking back, Lin Xiaoxiao's hair stood on end: "Yu Ji, these willow trees shouldn't have been so close to us just now, right?"
Despite the heavy rain, Lin Xiaoxiao could still tell that the willow trees were now a little closer than before.
Could it be that these trees can grow legs and run?
I looked down at the land beneath the willow trees. The land was already flat, as if the willow trees had originally grown there.
"Girl, these trees are probably mutant plants. We'd better not confront them head-on."
Now Lin Xiaoxiao only has Yu Ji by her side, so the two of them plan to stay hidden. Lin Xiaoxiao's suggestion is to go into the school and stay in the guard room for one night.
Although the mutated willow tree is scary, Lin Xiaoxiao also doesn't want to get close to the weird school that Old Wolf mentioned. So the best option is to stay in the guard room inside the big iron gate, where she can hide from the rain and observe what is happening in the school and the willow tree.
Glancing at the quiet and dark school in the heavy rain, Yu Ji nodded slightly: "Okay, but the best way is to contact Feng Yu and the others to come for support. It would be best if we can clean up the willow tree."
Lin Xiaoxiao and the child are equivalent to weak chickens with no fighting ability in the end times, so Yu Ji is very worried that she cannot protect them alone. The safest way is to call teammates.
Nodding, Lin Xiaoxiao pushed open the half-open iron door. The creaking sound of metal friction was particularly harsh in the rainy night.
Biting her back teeth to suppress the fear in her heart, Lin Xiaoxiao walked into the school first, followed closely by Yu Ji.
The moment they stepped into the school, they simultaneously felt that the vague feeling of being watched from behind disappeared, but what greeted them was an even more oppressive silence.
I don't know when the heavy rain stopped, and the moon suddenly hung above my head. The school in front of me no longer looked dilapidated in the rain.
"Yu Ji, this should be an illusion, right?"
After looking around, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately pushed open the door of the guard room next to her. However, the glaring lights in the room and the old man guarding the door who was reading a newspaper made her a little confused.
"Haha, sir, you..."
Lin Xiaoxiao's first reaction was to apologize, but halfway through her words she realized something was wrong because the old man was still flipping through the newspaper as if he didn't see her.
Lin Xiaoxiao gave Yu Ji a look, and Yu Ji stepped forward and took away the newspaper from the old man. This time, the gatekeeper finally looked at them, his blood-red eyes were particularly creepy.
"You are really disobedient, disobedient!"
The gatekeeper pounced on her, and Yu Ji subconsciously wanted to launch an attack, but at this time she found that her ability had disappeared!
A huge feeling of fear enveloped her deeply. This was the first time such a situation had occurred since she was contracted by Lin Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that the guard was about to pounce on her, Yu Ji was still in a daze. Lin Xiaoxiao immediately snatched the newspaper from her hand and returned it to the guard.
Sure enough, after getting the newspaper, the guard stopped and the bloodshot in his eyes gradually disappeared. He just looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and the others with a very serious expression: "Humph, I will inform your class teacher about this!"
After saying this, he sat back in his seat and continued reading the newspaper, as if Lin Xiaoxiao and the other person had never appeared.
"It seems that this is indeed an illusion, and this illusion should have its own operating logic. We have to find a way to figure out what the main mission is."
Knowing that it was still safe here for the time being, Lin Xiaoxiao sat down on the sofa in the guard room, while Yu Ji frowned deeply.
"Girl, my ability is gone."
"It seems that one of the rules of this illusion is that you cannot use your own strength. It seems that we must outsmart them."
Having read many novels and played escape room games in his previous life, Lin Xiaoxiao knew that he must have mistakenly entered a large illusion. If he wanted to get out, he had to understand the main storyline and collect clues.
At the same time, they have to follow the rules of the illusion, otherwise they will easily die on the spot.
Just as she was thinking about where to investigate next, the child in her arms woke up slowly, and groggily called for his mother.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no experience in raising children, so she could only cover her mouth and whisper, "Little friend, we are in an escape room game now. I will take you to find your mother after you finish the game, okay?"
When he heard the word "game", the child, who was originally in tears, nodded immediately. His happy look made Lin Xiaoxiao almost think that the child was scared crazy.
Slowly releasing her hand that was covering the child's mouth, she pointed to the guard next to her and said, "See? Anyone who comes across here must not shout loudly, otherwise we will be arrested.
Baby, what's your name?"
"Sister, my name is Qiao Tongtong, you can call me Tongtong."
Knowing that they were playing a game, the seven or eight-year-old child immediately turned into a little adult and even took the initiative to introduce himself.
"It's a nice name. Tongtong, come with me now. It's a little dark outside. If you're scared, just hold my hand, okay?"
Grabbing Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, the child clenched his fist excitedly: "Then let's go!"
Led by the lively children, Lin Xiaoxiao walked back into the dark campus under the moonlight.
The teaching building has three floors, and it was pitch dark at this time, so Lin Xiaoxiao didn't plan to go there.
After all, it was night time, and even if there was a main storyline, it should be in the dormitory, so Lin Xiaoxiao led the two of them around the playground and came to the dormitory building hidden behind the teaching building.
Looking at the two dormitory buildings on the left and right, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask Yu Ji for help: "Which way should we go?"
