A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 141 The Doll in the Box

Until six o'clock, Xiao Fengdi remained silent.The two who stayed in the dark room had no choice but to leave.

The lights in the financial room were turned off for some reason, and the player of the monitoring system was also completely dark.The only source of light was the hazy skylight filtering in through the window.

It is already summer in the game world, and it stands to reason that it should be dawn at six o'clock in the morning.However, the time in this dungeon seems to have stayed on the day the girl was killed. Judging from the temperature, it seems to be still early spring.Therefore, the sky is only slightly bright at present, and the room is so dark that only the outline can be seen clearly.

—Why did you turn off the light?

Moreover, Xiao Fengdi, who was supposed to stay outside, was nowhere to be seen.What's going on, he didn't inform them, did he leave alone?Or--

"Finally waiting for you."

A familiar female voice suddenly sounded not far away.

A chair that was originally facing away from him turned around.

I saw a girl in a black skirt sitting upright on a chair, holding the black box that was originally placed on the table.

"It's so slow," the girl puffed up her cheeks and complained, "I've been waiting here for a long time. What are you doing in there? You never come out."

"..."

He immediately pushed back You Qingyu who was about to come out behind him with his backhand, and closed the door forcefully against it.

The door behind him was tapped twice, and then stopped.Probably she also realized that something must have happened outside.

Fang Shiqing tried his best to suppress the turbulent panic, and asked calmly as much as possible: "Why did you appear here?...Where is the person who was here?"

Had she come to fetch her own body? ...But at that time, she said on the radio that she was going to send her to the room herself, why did she come here in person now?

And most importantly, where is Xiao Fengdi?

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately put the box in his hand back on the table, stood up,

"—Of course I came to save you," she said.

"Help me? You?"

This was so unexpected that Fang Shiqing was confused for a moment.

"You don't want to be killed by her, ah, no, by me... by me inexplicably, and the body was chopped into pieces. Well, don't ask any more questions, time is running out, come with me." The girl urged.

"Go? Where?"

What the hell is she talking about?

"I'll send you outside the factory. At least it's much safer outside than here."

"Isn't it you who just picked up the ax to kill me?" Fang Shiqing asked cautiously, "Or, do you have multiple personalities or something?"

"That can be regarded as me, but it's not me. All in all, hurry up and follow me now! Time is really tight, okay, I won't be able to see you off after dawn."

The girl urged again.

Fang Shiqing looked at her.He found that the girl in front of him was not the body of a puppet, but a genuine human form.However, looking against the light, she seemed a little transparent.

...like a ghost.

"What are you now..."

The girl sighed.

"It seems. If you don't explain clearly, you won't leave with me?"

"..."

Fang Shiqing expressed the default.

And that's natural; no one would simply follow a murderer who nearly killed him.

"Okay. I'll tell you then."

The girl stood up and walked in front of him, raised her hand, and gently touched his chest.

Fang Shiqing instinctively took a step back, but couldn't avoid her arm.However, the expected touch didn't come; like an illusion, her fingertips directly penetrated his body.

"—"

Fang Shiqing only felt a bone-chilling chill coming from the place she touched.He had had a similar experience before, that is, when he was inadvertently approached by a ghost.

"Yes. The one in front of you is a ghost, and the other one is a spirit; although they are all right, they are different individuals."

She moved a little further away, bent down and turned on the monitor next to her.

The bloody ground in the factory was still projected on the screen. Among the bright red, only the doll stood there alone.

"This is another me, she was born at this moment."

"It's a long story. On that day, my ex-boyfriend originally asked me to elope with me—I wanted to escape from my family a long time ago. He said that he would go to the outside world with me, so I believed him."

She said, "We made an appointment to leave the town together early in the morning, but just as we reached the fork in the road, I suddenly lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I was taken to the factory, and later... you should know .”

She gently stroked the black box on the table.

"At that time, most of the belongings and valuable things on my body were taken away by those murderers. But there was a toy...a wooden doll that was very crudely made and only two inches high, probably because it was worthless It...was left behind."

She touched the secret pocket of the skirt: that was where the doll was placed at that time.

"It's also a coincidence. That little doll... was given to me by a neighbor's little boy when I went out that morning. I was in a hurry, so I could only temporarily put it in my pocket."

"..."

Doesn't the little boy in the neighbor's house refer to the carpenter Wang in the town?

"In short, at the moment of death, blood and residual resentment stained the puppet together, endowing it with my consciousness and almost exactly the same shape as mine, and turned her into a strange spirit."

"That is to say, when I first met you, there were... two of you in this world?"

This statement was a bit unbelievable, but Fang Shiqing still decided to believe it.

He had felt before that the behavior of this boss was a bit too fragmented; anyway, he was asked to leave his room one second and walk as fast as possible, and the next second he chased after him with an ax Human behavior is also a bit too abrupt.

"It's not really two. Our consciousness and memory are basically the same, but the way of thinking is a little different, and we are still the same person in essence. Because it is a personality formed with resentment as the main body, there are some differences in how it behaves. Extreme." The girl said, "The one who appeared in front of you during the day before was the other me, but the one who fell into the dream at night is the current me. Because I can't act during the day."

How should I put it, she is not just "a little extreme"...

Fang Shiqing quickly thought in his heart: "You said that your memory is common, and the other party can know everything she and you do, right?"

"Correct."

The other party probably knew what he meant, and there was a little helplessness on his face.

"The memories of both of us are synchronized with each other. You are probably thinking, if this is the case, why don't I immediately save you when you are about to be killed by another me? This, how should I put it... In fact, We're trying to avoid being in front of each other as much as possible."

"Hey……?"

"Haven't you heard of similar rumors? If one day there is a person who looks exactly like you in front of you, then one of the two of you will definitely die. In this world, the individual named 'I' , only one can exist in the same place at the same time, otherwise there will be a paradox.”

Fang Shiqing can understand what she said.But: "Your situation is not like this, is it? You feel more like two splits from the same person, which is equivalent to the relationship between the subject and the clone."

"But once we meet, one of us is doomed to die." She said, "Although it's just an unreasonable premonition, whether I or another me, I firmly believe in this. I can only say so much , can you trust me quickly? If you don’t leave, it will be too late. I can only stay here until seven o’clock at most, and then I have to go back to my room. This is already the result of my best delay, in fact, the normal ghost is six o’clock Shouldn't have stayed outside."

It's not that Fang Shiqing doesn't believe her when things come to this.It's just that she probably couldn't understand that the problems he was facing couldn't be solved by escaping.

"Well, can my friends also leave with me? And after leaving, you... no, it's another you, will you still appear around us?"

"Don't worry about your acquaintances," the girl frowned. "The other me is also a spirit, a living thing, so she needs to eat regularly. If she can't eat, I will be hungry, do you understand?"

Fang Shiqing felt very bad: "That is to say... the condition for you to send me out is that I keep my friends for you to eat?"

"...Can't you?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

This statement was so absurd that Fang Shiqing almost laughed.Sure enough, I still couldn't communicate with her, "I'm sorry, I have to take them back together."

"Why?" The girl was startled, and said with wide eyes, "Aren't you afraid of being killed by me? If you stay here, none of you will survive! I can't stop her at all during the day."

"Uh, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it," Fang Shiqing could only say, "but it's not good. Although I understand your feeding needs, I'm still a human being, and it's a little bit like watching my own kind being eaten... ..."

If he really gave up the lives of other teammates in order to survive, he felt that he would definitely be overwhelmed by guilt and commit suicide.It might as well be wiped out in the dungeon together with teammates.

"You, you gave up such a good opportunity just for a few acquaintances? Is it worth it...?"

The girl looked completely incomprehensible, and then seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly sank.

"By the way, um, you know my big brother...uh, he was the one who was here before, where is he now?"

Fang Shiqing asked, in fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time.He really couldn't think of where Xiao Fengdi could go. Didn't he tell them to come out after watching the surveillance video?

"He's dead." The girl replied coldly, "I ate him."

"eat--"

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment.

"Are you refusing to leave just because of him?" She sneered, "That's really embarrassing. The other one I hate him very much, and I don't like him either, so I caught him and ate him when I had the chance. It doesn't taste good, it stinks like a gay. But forget it, it's a decent meal."

"—"

Fang Shiqing forced himself not to lose his composure.How could it be so easy for Xiao Fengdi to be caught and eaten by the boss?Other dungeons are fine, the boss of this dungeon was restrained to death by him when he came out, and she was deflated, but she didn't turn over.

The sentence just now must be her angry words... right?

"Oh, do you think I can't kill him? Don't underestimate me. If you piss me off, I can do anything."

The puppet girl manipulated the monitoring console next to her, and rewinded the video for a short period of time, freezing on the scene where the puppet on the screen was killing the spirit exorcists.The red blood splashed everywhere, quite deterrent in this situation.

"The ones you knocked down before are just substitutes. I have two real bodies, one is the one in front of you now," she clicked on the black box, "the other is this one." She pointed Pointing to the screen, "The strength of the real body is far beyond that of the substitute. I am a powerful monster that can easily crush more than a dozen people. It only takes a few minutes to kill him."

Fang Shiqing felt short of breath.

He didn't really want to believe the other party's words, but a great fear still gripped his heart.

What if, really...?

"You..." he struggled, "I don't believe it. Without evidence, I don't believe it anyway. I'm going to find him—"

"Where are you going?"

As soon as he lifted his leg, the girl immediately moved in front of him, looked up at him deeply, "Where are you going? Without my protection, once you leave this door, you will be killed by another me." .”

The chill emanating from the ghost in front of him brought him back to his senses a little.

Indeed...under the current situation, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave here, besides You Qingyu and Zhao Jun are still behind.

He pulled up a chair and sat down with his back against the door of the dark room: "Then I'll wait here for him to come back."

If Xiao Fengdi was safe and sound, he would definitely come back here to look for them.

"you--"

The girl was very angry.She bit her nails irritably: "He won't come back! He's dead! If you don't come with me, you'll die too! Don't be stupid Shi Qing, stand up and follow me and leave here, I want to give you a way out ah!"

"I'm sorry, I can only live up to your kindness. But," Fang Shiqing could only shake his head and said, "I believe he will definitely come back."

"..."

The girl suddenly became strangely quiet.After a few seconds, she took a few steps back.

"I see. It seems that if you are not allowed to see the evidence, you will not give up. There is no way, so let you see it."

"--what?"

Fang Shiqing stood up involuntarily.What is she saying?Evidence, is it...

"Of course it's evidence that he's dead." The girl stretched out her finger and made a strange gesture, "That's..."

"... corpse."
