Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Zhou Xuerong stood up, opened the curtains and checked the weather again.

"It's still snowing."

Xu Minglang suddenly lost all interest in playing.

Zhou Xuerong turned around and said, "I'm going out for a while."

"You want to go out? Absolutely not!" Xu Minglang became anxious when he heard that, and stood up suddenly, almost losing his footing.

Zhou Xuerong explained: "I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while, and the food in reserve is still enough for two days, so I have to find some more."

"But once..." What if the game is opened again.

"If 'the one' wants us in, there's nowhere to hide."

Xu Minglang was right when he thought about it, the snow is still falling, and Binhai City is also an empty city, which proves that they are still in the game.But he really didn't want to take the risk of stepping out of the room. The endless white snow was even more frightening than a nightmare.

Zhou Xuerong picked up the cotton coat on the hanger, said while putting it on: "Brother, stay at home, I won't go for too long..."

"Wait!" He grabbed Zhou Xuerong's ankle and said, "I'll go with you."

Zhou Xuerong lowered his head to look, Xu Minglang sat on his knees and raised his eyes, his raised eyebrows rounded his eyes, which seemed childish.

Zhou Xuerong smiled and said, "Okay."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the commercial shops on both sides of the avenue were open, but there was no one inside. Mountains of snow covered the road and in front of the door. The two walked very hard, holding hands and borrowing each other's strength. From a distance, they looked like Two spots of ink on the rice paper.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, they came to a small supermarket closest to their home. One of them took a trolley at the door, went in and went straight to the food area, and swept the sauces, canned food, and dried noodles on the shelves into the trolley.

Xu Minglang joked: "Let's fill up the cart and experience the feeling of 'emptying the shopping cart'!"

Zhou Xuerong stuffed rice and various high-calorie sweets into the car, and took two big bags of toilet paper.

When they came to the freezer area, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that because the freezer was still powered on, the frozen food was well preserved, and the two of them stuffed it into the car with all their might. In the end, there was no Yufu left, even the boxed yogurt. Open it and put it in your pocket.

On the way back, the two of them pushed two full trolleys in the snow. This feeling was indescribably strange. If Xu Minglang had been told a week ago, one day he would be able to swagger and sweep the goods without spending a penny. , he would never believe it.

After returning home, the two divided their duties in an orderly manner, stuffed the food into the refrigerator, took out all the wilted vegetables and threw them away, which was full of sauces and cans.

While placing things, Xu Minglang thought of the other two surviving companions. He didn't know how they were doing, especially Ye Jiawen. She was alone, and she didn't know if she could take care of herself.

"Brother." Zhou Xuerong teased him, "What are you thinking?"

"No, I was just thinking, do you think Xiaoye can do it alone? It's a world of ice and snow, what should she do when she finishes eating? Or she's sick..."

"That's her own choice." Zhou Xuerong pressed down the dumpling box and closed the cabinets, "Yu Haohuai is right, for Ye Jiawen, staying with us is more risky than her alone Stay big. She is the only one left or out of the game so far, and all the lost money has been recovered, all she has to do is wait for the game to end."

Xu Minglang lowered his head.

"What's more, if she really stays with us, if there is any unexpected situation in the future, she will become the target of public criticism."

"......why?"

"Because she survived, because she could have pulled away. Guess, if the game is restarted, will we suspect that she is the person behind the scenes."

Xu Minglang just wanted to deny it, but he thought about it seriously, including Yu Haohuai's questioning of Ye Jiawen in the men's room.He wavered.

It turns out that words are so powerful.

"This is the human heart." Zhou Xuerong patted Xu Minglang on the shoulder, scooped a spoon from the rice bag on the side, took out the gallbladder of the rice cooker, put rice in it, washed it in front of the sink, and said to him, "Don't worry, brother, she is a smart girl , will definitely be fine.”

Xu Minglang raised his head to look out of the window, and sadness crept into his heart.I don't know how many more days this peaceful life can last. Who will be the next person to face death?

For lunch, Zhou Xuerong made Coca-Cola Chicken Wings, opened a bag of dumplings and boiled them in the pot, and then made fried dumplings. With vinegar and garlic, and freshly cooked rice, Xu Minglang felt that he was about to ascend to heaven.

A total of ten pieces of chicken wings were wiped out by two big guys in a blink of an eye. Xu Minglang was still unsatisfied, and dipped the fried dumplings in the remaining sauce and wiped the bottom of the plate clean.

His mouth was full of oil, but Zhou Xuerong suddenly slowed down his chopsticks, looking thoughtful.He thought it was because he ate too fast, and asked Zhou Xuerong to pick up his leftovers, which was a little bit of a complaint.

Xu Minglang also stopped his chopsticks and pushed the dumpling to the opposite side. Zhou Xuerong came back to his senses, picked up a dumpling, put it to his mouth and put it down again, but said: "Brother, have you thought about who is the one who designed everything?" ?”

"You don't think it's Xiaoye, do you?"

"That's not what I mean." Zhou Xuerong paused, trying to organize his words, "For a long time, Yu Haohuai has been entangled in the fact that the black hand behind the scenes is among us. Let's think from another angle, what if 'he' is not among us?"

Xu Minglang was dumbfounded, because it was really looking for a needle in a haystack, without any clue.

"Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Actually, I thought about this question a long time ago. Have you noticed some details in the game?"

"Details?" As soon as this topic was mentioned, Xu Minglang felt a chill run down his back.

Zhou Xuerong nodded, pinched his chin and said: "The first round corresponds to Ye Jiawen. According to her description, she fell into a world full of puppets, and her parents also turned into puppets to hunt and kill her. The second round Bureau, we were hunted down by clowns, Cao Jing died in the haunted house, and they all said that the decoration of the haunted house was very luxurious, not like ordinary haunted houses.”

Xu Minglang suddenly thought of the exquisite wool carpet in the mirror room.

Zhou Xuerong continued: "They also said that in order to save Cao Jing, they crossed a dance floor full of puppets."

"A puppet again?" Xu Minglang sighed.

Zhou Xuerong nodded: "In the third game, it's no longer a puppet, but a strange species made of corpses. What do you think?"

"If 'he' was a human being, I would think he was a psychopath."

Zhou Xuerong laughed, said "Be serious", and put the last piece of fried dumpling into his mouth.

"I'm not kidding, I really think 'he' is psychopathic, it's blasphemy!"

"I agree with the point of blasphemy. The puppet elements that appear many times in the game and the different species that are put together reflect that 'he' does not respect the will of God, or that 'he' thinks he is God." Zhou Xuerong Pulling a tissue to wipe his mouth, "Originally, I have always been suspicious about the werewolves appearing in the school. Now that I think about it, it should also have something to do with religion."

Xu Minglang waited for Zhou Xuerong to continue.

"The wolf represents 'anger' in the seven deadly sins. Does this sound a lot like a cruel instructor? And Miao Fang's strange death looks a lot like the statue of the Virgin Mary praying."

"If you put it this way, when I saw Miao Fang..., I even felt a kind of holiness. Maybe it was really like what you said, like a god." Xu Minglang shuddered , "This is terrible, no, it is too evil, these things can only be done by the devil."

Zhou Xuerong rubbed his lower lip with his index finger, thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. What if 'he' did it unintentionally?"

"I don't understand. Are you saying that the man behind the scenes is mentally handicapped?"

Zhou Xuerong shook his head: "I mean, 'he' might not feel that what he did was a kind of cruelty at all...Of course, this is just my guess."

Xu Minglang waited for the other party to continue.

Zhou Xuerong casually took a mouthful of rice and said, "The cruelest people in this world are often children."

Xu Minglang suddenly felt that he lost his appetite, his eyes went blank, and an unspeakable fear arose spontaneously.
