A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

The two moved He Xiangwu to the bench for the time being.

In the process of moving, his leg bone was accidentally knocked against the corner of the stool, and there was a rather loud sound, which hurt when he heard it.But he still slept soundly, with no intention of waking up.

"What should we do now?"

In this regard, Fang Shiqing was helpless.

According to Xiao Fengdi, He Xiangwu's consciousness is currently trapped in a certain illusion. If he cannot be awakened from the illusion, his will will gradually be wiped out, and eventually his soul will be completely lost in it. The way back to the body—that is, to become a vegetable.

"But how can I wake him up?"

"Just wake him up normally, he can hear," Xiao Fengdi said, "as long as what you say can make reality more attractive to him than fantasy, and arouse his desire to return to reality, he will come back by himself .Generally speaking, it should be similar to the soul call done before."

"Then...then let me try."

Sounds pretty simple.

Now is not the time for hesitation and embarrassment, Fang Shiqing took a deep breath, and shouted into He Xiangwu's ear: "That... He Xiangwu! Wake up soon! After waking up, we can overcome the book together and go back through the customs together. Then everyone gets [-] billion, and they can spend it however they want—did you hear that?"

The sleeping He Xiangwu didn't respond.

...It seems that this level is not enough, and more fierce material is needed.

Fang Shiqing glanced at Xiao Fengdi.

What I'm going to say next is a bit embarrassing, but it's too late for people to avoid this kind of emergency.

"Wake up quickly! Hasn't your dream come true yet?" He took another deep breath, "——Didn't you say that you want to make the most orthodox magical girl animation in our country and carry it forward! "

"...Magic girl? What is it?" Xiao Fengdi frowned at him.

Fang Shiqing was embarrassed for a while.

"It's a girl character in ACGN's works who has supernatural powers and can transform into a villain and fight monsters," He Xiangwu suddenly let out a sleepy voice, "It's synonymous with love and hope——"

"are you awake?!"

Fang Shiqing immediately grabbed He Xiangwu's shoulder and shook it vigorously, only to find that he hadn't opened his eyes at all, as if he was just talking in his sleep.

Xiao Fengdi glanced at his pupils, shook his head and said, "He didn't break the illusion. As I said just now, he is not sleeping; he can hear everything we say, and naturally he can respond to a certain extent. .”

"..."

"You try again," he said again, "Anyway, it's a good thing to have a reaction, which shows that he is not in deep trouble yet."

As the consciousness sinks deeper and deeper in the illusion, his connection with the body will gradually weaken, and the voice here will become more and more difficult to pass through.

"Okay... I'll try again."

Fortunately, Xiao Fengdi's attitude at this time was very serious, and he didn't express his dislike for things like "Magic Girl", which made Fang Shiqing feel a little relieved.If the boss suddenly said, "How old are you all, why do you still pay attention to cartoons?" Then there is really no way to recover.

He reconsidered and changed to a new direction of attack.

"Wake up! He Xiangwu, can you hear me? I heard that the project of "Magical Girl ○" which lasted for 20 years is about to be terminated due to poor management! You should like it very much, right? You probably don't want to see magical girls. Disappear the stage!"

He Xiangwu seemed to have moved a little, and he quickly continued: "Now only we can stop this abolition crisis! Only if we earn enough money as soon as possible, return to reality in time, and invest in the project, can the magic girl Our stories continue to live, have you heard? Now we have to work hard to save the magical girls!"

"……few……"

"What?" Seeing the other party's reaction, Fang Shiqing immediately stared at He Xiangwu closely.

He Xiangwu in his sleep babbled and uttered a hazy sound again.

"Stop... nonsense... less nonsense,... Magical girls don't need me to save them... Paper people will never die."

"Uh?"

Unexpectedly, the other party could immediately refute, Fang Shiqing was stunned.

He Xiangwu closed his eyes and laughed, his face full of satisfaction.

"I don't want to leave here... This is the real Two-dimensional, and I'm surrounded by real magical girls. I just need to stay in this world with magical girls, and it doesn't matter if I die here. Don't fool me away from them..."

"Depend on!"

Fang Shiqing was so angry that he didn't expect the other party to argue with him while soaking in the illusion.

But by saying this, at least he can determine what is in his illusion.

——In the illusion, he probably became the existence of the male protagonist in the harem, and became a classmate and friend with the legendary magical girl.

Surrounded by real magical girls... No wonder, this kind of fantasy is no different from a real paradise for a magical girl otaku.

But we can’t just give up like this, Fang Shiqing bit the bullet and shouted: "You wake up, those magical girls are just fake hallucinations! Take a closer look, do they all have the same face? It looks like mass production The dummy that comes out is not a real magical girl!"

"What are you talking about?" He Xiangwu muttered and responded, "Don't the characters in the comics all have similar faces? Only the characters in reality have different looks. A world that is too real is not the world I want. I just want to die in the Two-dimensional world..."

"..."

Fang Shiqing felt that he had lost.

There is really no way to communicate with this person.He could understand the feeling of wanting to escape from reality, and it was because of his understanding that he felt extremely helpless.

Xiao Fengdi looked at the time, frowned and said: "There's no other way, we can't spend time in the same place all the time. It seems that we can only put him here first."

"but……"

"It's okay. Looking at his current situation, he shouldn't be completely lost in the illusion in a short time. The illusion is controlled by that monster. As long as we knock it down before he has an accident, we can save him."

"...Well, that's the only way to go."

Fang Shiqing nodded.He felt sorry for not being able to wake people up, but the reality was like this, time was limited, and he couldn't delay any longer.

This room looks relatively safe, and He Xiangwu is not the main target of the boss. With Xiao Fengdi helping to take some defensive measures, leaving him here alone for the time being, there shouldn't be any danger.

The two left He Xiangwu where they were, and then separately searched for possible clues in the cafeteria.

This room is actually quite simple, except for tables and stools, there are only some empty boxes and two cabinets.

There were some odds and ends on the cabinet, which looked as if the workers had forgotten it here when they were eating. Fang Shiqing saw a bunch of keys in it, and immediately put them into the inventory without thinking——In the horror puzzle game Here, the key is often very critical.

When he turned his head to look at Xiao Fengdi, he saw that the other party had actually pried up a floor tile in the corner and was looking at the things below.

"What's the matter?—uh."

He came behind Xiao Fengdi, looked in, and then held his breath.

Under the floor tiles is a very rough hole, only more than a foot deep, which looks like it was dug out temporarily.

A pure black wooden box was placed in the burrow.

It is almost exactly the same as the one used to hold the girl's head before, except that it is a bit bigger in size.

Could it be another human head inside?Or……

Xiao Fengdi asked him to step back a little, then he took out the box and slowly opened it.

Fang Shiqing stared at the things in the box.

For a moment, he thought it was just a black cloth wrapped together.But as Xiao Fengdi flattened the surface of the fabric, he gradually realized that it was wrapped—a part that once belonged to the human body.

Xiao Fengdi didn't touch it too much, and quickly said: "It's the abdominal cavity, and some internal organs. It should be hers too."

The cloth wrapped around the corpse was probably part of the clothes she wore when she was killed and dismembered.

"……Um."

Fang Shiqing didn't dare and couldn't bear to watch, he felt a psychological nausea.

The corpse seems to have been treated simply, the liquid inside was drained very cleanly, and the technique... was very skillful, it looked like an animal treated by a butcher.

"So it seems," he said in a low voice after a while, "could the fragments of her body be separated and hidden in various rooms in this factory?"

Did they have to find other parts in other rooms and finally... put them together?

Xiao Fengdi shook his head: "I don't know. But what if we put them together? People cannot be resurrected after death, and she already has a new body. What's the use of these corpses?"

Fang Shiqing was right when he thought about it.

"Then, think about it in another direction? If what we want to do is not to collect body parts, then we should probably explore... the story behind the dismemberment. Someone killed her and cut her into pieces. Is there any reason for this behavior to store them in different rooms in the factory?"

"I only want to get two possibilities," he paused, and continued, "The first is that the murderer is mentally ill; the second is that the murderer believes in some cult."

After dismembering the body and hiding the body parts separately, this kind of behavior has a terrible and weird sense of ritual, which can only remind him of a cult.

"There is another possibility." Xiao Fengdi closed the box and said, "This may be some kind of ancient magic ritual."

"Huh? Curse means..."

Xiao Fengdi stood up, turned his back to him and said, "You probably don't know that in the period when human beings didn't have enough understanding of the external environment, the most commonly used medium of incantations was the human body itself. Human sacrifice was very popular in that era. Wizards use the body of the sacrifice as a medium for performing spells, and they can often achieve some unimaginable effects."

"The principles of these ancient spells have not yet been clarified. However, at least in our country, until a certain event, there have been clear records and inheritance."

Fang Shiqing couldn't fully understand, but he figured out the key question: "So you think that the person who killed her might be a knowledgeable person who wanted to use her for some special rituals?"

Xiao Fengdi acquiesced.He turned around slowly, his expression was very complicated, he didn't know what he was thinking.

— if his hypothesis is true, there are more problems.Who is performing the ceremony, what kind of ceremony is being performed, and why is she chosen as the "sacrifice"?

However, Xiao Fengdi obviously couldn't answer these questions. He only had a concept of the so-called "ancient spells" and didn't understand anything specific.

Fang Shiqing sighed, it seems that he has to continue to search more rooms and continue to find clues.

He stood up, intending to check on He Xiangwu's situation again.

At this moment, out of nowhere, there was a sudden noise similar to radio waves.

The noise was very loud, intermittent and irregular, as if it came from a bad radio connection.

"What, what?"

Xiao Fengdi raised his head suddenly, and immediately locked onto the source of the sound: "It's that one that's making the sound, look."

He pointed to something dark and hanging on the wall.Fang Shiqing discerned it carefully and found that it was an old-fashioned broadcasting speaker.

Many cafeterias will play some radio, music and so on during the meal time. It is not surprising that there is such a thing.But why is it beeping all of a sudden?

The murmur became smaller, and there seemed to be a familiar female voice in it.

"Did you hear it?" Fang Shiqing grabbed Xiao Fengdi's hand, "It seems, it seems to be the voice of BOSS?"

He tried hard to distinguish, only felt that the voice seemed to be calling his name——

"Shiqing," the female voice on the radio asked, "where are you? Can you hear me?... Never mind, I'll just pretend you can hear me. You——

"—have you found my body?"
