A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

There was a dead silence all around.

Rao Fang Shiqing was in a panic no matter how good his mentality was usually.He tentatively called a few times, but got no response; he crawled over and opened the door to look outside, and the corridor was empty.

Not to mention people, not even a bug.

The dim corridor lights flickered twice, flickering like a horror movie, highlighting a strange atmosphere.

As a player's instinct played a role, Fang Shiqing suddenly realized the strangeness of the current scene.This place is probably not You Qingyu's house anymore, but... in [Dungeon].

Shouldn't he be thrown into the "dungeon" by himself?

As for the others, did they stay outside, or did they also enter the dungeon, but were sent to other places?If others are still outside, can they still come in?

In an instant, countless questions came to mind.

However, at the same time, he quickly calmed down.If this is really inside the dungeon, it means the game has already started; frantic operation is a big taboo when playing games.

In the real world, he is in poor health and can't stand too much stimulation, so he really hasn't played horror escape games by himself, only watched some live events.

However, after knowing how the world works, he certainly thought about it carefully and summed up the basic gameplay of escape games: nothing more than exploring maps, collecting props, triggering key events, avoiding and fighting monsters, and so on.

So according to the routine, what he should do now is to investigate the entire map and search for all suspicious places.

Fang Shiqing looked around, he could see the small bathroom at a glance, there was nothing worth noting.

He stood up slowly, facing the sink, looking at the mirror box in front.I saw a haze on the mirror, not only was there no ghosts, but even his own face could not be reflected, as if it had become frosted glass.

Suddenly there was a soft touch on the leg, and something hairy caught the ankle.

"Wow!!"

The tense nerves were instantly ignited, and he jumped backward in fright, almost slipping again.

I saw a familiar cat's head poking out from under the sink.A kitten leisurely wandered out from its hiding place, stretched its paws and pulled his pants. Seeing that he didn't respond, it tilted its head and barked at him twice in confusion.

"Little...Little Flower?"

"Meow-"

This cat is Sanhua, and there is a small bell that does not ring around its neck. It is Xiaohua who sneaked in before.

In this terrifyingly quiet environment, suddenly seeing a moving, familiar creature is a great comfort.Fang Shiqing took a few deep breaths, reached out and scratched its chin, feeling the animal's warm body temperature.

He asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Have other people been sent to the dungeon just like you?"

Of course the cat couldn't answer him, it just squinted its eyes, and Mimi cried out for petting.

But it's also reassuring.Animals are much more sensitive to the surrounding conditions than humans. Since Xiaohua has nothing unusual, it means there is no danger around... right?

Even so, he still didn't dare to let his guard down.After looking around and confirming that there was nothing in the small toilet, he picked up the cat with one hand, and carefully pulled out the knife he bought in the afternoon with the other hand, and then moved out the door step by step, intending to Start the next step of exploration.

Just as he walked out of the toilet, the light bulb outside flickered and went out completely with a snap.

Fortunately, the passage was very short, so he took two quick steps with the help of the light in the toilet, rushed directly into the living room, and touched the light switch on the wall according to his memory.

The moment the fluorescent lamp above his head came on, he saw a pale figure opposite him, staring at him with a frightened expression——

Fang Shiqing was so frightened that he fell backwards on the sofa.Seeing the figure on the opposite side also hugging the cat, he realized belatedly that this was his own shadow reflected in the large mirror opposite.

No wonder it is not recommended to place a mirror in the bedroom facing the bed when decorating... It is too scary to see a figure when you open your eyes.People with a bad heart, if they don't keep it neat, they have to be scared out of their wits.

Even though he knew it was his own shadow, he still didn't dare to look in the mirror for a long time when he thought of the weird scene in the mirror box.

The living room was also empty.The mirror was so wide that it almost took up the entire wall, and there was nowhere to hide; it was uncomfortable to be in front of the mirror, and after he made a hasty confirmation that no one was in the room, he planned to leave here, went upstairs.

At this time, there was a creaking sound from the door behind it, and it slowly opened to the outside——

Reflexively, Fang Shiqing jumped behind the sofa, covered the mouth of the cat in his arms, and squatted down to hide.

After squatting down, he realized that ghosts don't seem to need to push the door, and all the people who come in through the door should be humans.In other words, other players?

The other party seemed to wait at the door for a few seconds before slowly stepping into the door.He walked very slowly and his movements were very light. It took him more than ten seconds just to pass through the short hallway, and he seemed to be hesitating in fear.

Fang Shiqing felt that this should be his companion, so he cautiously poked half of his head out from behind the armrest and looked across.

As soon as he stretched his head, his eyes were dazzled by the light of the flashlight directly opposite him.

Opposite is a pale girl.Fang Shiqing heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, calling out, "Zeng Xin..."

"Ah!" The other party screamed in fright and took several steps back.He quickly said, "Don't be afraid, it's me."

"Are you..." She asked with a trembling voice, "That, Fang, Fang Jin?"

"..., it's 'Fang Shiqing."

Fang Shiqing twitched the corner of his mouth and corrected.This is already the fourth day in the game, unexpectedly, his teammates don't even remember his name.

Zeng Xin ran in in a panic, almost tripping over the coffee table, her face was full of residual anxiety and the joy of finally seeing a living person.

"What happened just now?" She asked in a crying voice, "I was, just lying in the yard all of a sudden, the surrounding darkness was so terrifying, I almost frightened to death... What about the others? What happened?"

"Wait, don't panic, don't be afraid."

She spoke incoherently, and Fang Shiqing felt a little dizzy, so he had to let her sit down on the sofa and calm down before speaking.

"I don't know what happened. I was in a daze just now, and when I realized it, I was lying alone on the toilet floor. I guess, we players may have been sent into the copy... You said you just In the yard?"

The other party nodded in shock: "Hmm, um. The courtyard outside looks different from before. When I looked up and saw the moon, I thought I had traveled through time again... I didn't realize until I saw the lights in the house. This is still Qingyu's house."

"—'Different? How is it different?"

Zeng Xin couldn't tell why.Fang Shiqing thought for a while, took out the flashlight and walked towards the entrance.

"You, you, where are you going?" Zeng Xin grabbed him in fright.

Her hands were as cold as ice.

"I'm going to take a look at the yard," he said helplessly, "it's okay, there will be no danger, didn't you just come in from the outside?"

"Don't, don't leave me alone..." She looked like she was about to cry again.

This girl has a weak temper, but her hand strength is much stronger than it looks. Fang Shiqing couldn't break free, so she had to comfort her softly: "It's all in the dungeon, so what if you don't explore around?" You can't sit on the sofa in a row Wait until dawn, shall we?

After all, the other party was a delicate girl, so he was too embarrassed to ignore it, so he had to be patient and comfort her for a long time.Until the end, Zeng Xin didn't dare to stay alone, so the two had to act together.

When he came to the gate, Fang Shiqing took out the flashlight, shook it outside, and suddenly stopped.

The yard was pitch-black, surrounded by shadows of clumps of sundries, which looked quite gloomy; at first glance it looked the same as before.

However, at this time, the cabinet that he was directly shining with the flashlight... There were many protruding things on the cabinet, and it was a black mass.

That is……

Fang Shiqing was dumbfounded.

"……mushroom?"

"Huh?" Zeng Xin looked confused.

"Did mushrooms grow on that cabinet?!" And a thick layer grew, almost covering the entire surface.

Trembling, Zeng Xin raised her head to look at it, then immediately retracted it.

"It seems, it seems... It feels so disgusting, how did this yard become like this... Huh?"

Fang Shiqing turned around and ran out.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Zeng Xin hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.

"Does it even need to be said!"

Fang Shiqing said without hesitation.

"That's a mushroom, a mushroom! Do you know how much you can exchange for picking a mushroom!"

Among the various collections in this game, fungi are the most valuable.The cheapest edible mushrooms can be exchanged for 40 game coins, and that is a full cabinet!

Zeng Xin: "..."

"But," she timidly glanced at the dark yard, "you, don't you think it's scary outside? It's better inside the house..."

"I only know that there are banknotes growing outside." Fang Shiqing ruthlessly pulled out the girl's sleeves, "If you want to be afraid, you can stay here. I'll go pick mushrooms."

In the face of income, what is pity and pity, can you eat it? !

It seemed that Zeng Xin was more afraid to leave his companion than Guangming, and finally followed behind him tremblingly, and went outside together.

Xiaohua also followed him every step of the way, which made him sigh again, this cat looks more like a dog than a cat no matter how you look at it.

When he came to the front of the cabinet, Fang Shiqing picked the mushrooms nimbly, the more he picked the funnier, the corners of his mouth almost grinned to the back of his head.His [collection] skill can accurately distinguish the type and name of the collected objects. Most of the ones grown here are the most common ones, but there are too many of them!

He collected dozens of them from just one cabinet, which is thousands of dollars!

After picking off the surface, he opened the cabinet with a lot of interest, and found that the inside also grew a lot.Zeng Xin who was next to her kept scanning her surroundings with a flashlight, with a terrified expression, as if a monster would emerge from the darkness at any moment and bite her.Xiao Hua wandered around restlessly, jumping up and down on other discarded furniture from time to time, but never far away.

After making sure to clean up the entire cabinet from top to bottom, Fang Shiqing sighed unsatisfactorily: "It's worth it!"

It seems to say on the announcement that "inner world dungeons have extremely high returns", isn't that extremely high, and the money that I didn't make a few days ago was earned back in a short while.

Even so, he wouldn't be dazzled by the benefits, and he didn't forget to pay attention to his surroundings while collecting.After picking, he also scanned around with the flashlight, and said softly: "Since we have come out, let's check the yard first?"

In his heart, he really wanted to find a second similar cabinet...

"We..." Zeng Xin seemed to want to tell him to go back to the house, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the words again.Maybe she also saw that Fang Shiqing couldn't listen to her.

While carefully stepping over the rubbish on the ground, the two held flashlights and kept an eye on the situation on both sides.

Something shook, and Zeng Xin called out softly, "There...is a mirror!"

"Mirror?"

This keyword caught his attention.

It was a mirror inlaid on the old dressing table, the surface was scratched a bit, and it was quietly poked in a pile of garbage, looking inconspicuous.

Thinking of the monster that crawled out of the mirror box before, Fang Shiqing felt a little trembling.He felt that the key to cracking the dungeon might be on the "mirror", so he settled down and told Zeng Xin to be careful, while he walked over holding his breath.

——The mirror reflected his face, just like any ordinary mirror.

With the help of the astigmatism of the flashlight, he looked at the mirror again and again, and even wiped the dust on it with his hand, but found nothing unusual.Its surface seems to be a bit distorted, and the figure found is curved, but it does not affect the use in general.

It seems that there is nothing left.

He was a little relieved, and planned to turn around and call his teammates to leave: "Let's continue..."

at this time--

A hand suddenly stretched out from the mirror and grabbed his wrist.
