A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

The female voice was so sharp and high-pitched that it was impossible to tell if it was You Qingyu; however, that voice was full of panic, as if it had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Xiao Fengdi immediately rushed down the stairs, and Fang Shiqing hurriedly followed behind.

The ear-piercing screams still echoed throughout the house, and became intermittent, as if being strangled by the neck, but it was even more horrific.

The door of You Qingyu's bedroom was ajar.Xiao Fengdi pushed open the door, but stopped at the door.

Fang Shiqing almost bumped his head on his back, so he turned sideways and looked into the door through the gap under his companion's arm——

The expected horror scene did not appear.You Qingyu sat on the chair in the room well, holding his head tightly, intending to block the noise.

She looked up at the door, as if wondering why they had suddenly come running back.

At the same time, the screaming continued.

This voice...wasn't from You Qingyu?

Xiao Fengdi suddenly turned around and walked to Aunt You's room next door.The moment he pushed open the door, the already extremely loud scream became louder by several decibels.

The room was still empty, he followed the sound and opened the drawer on the bedside table, only to see the old-fashioned radio that he had seen in other scenes before.

The endless screams came from it.

Fang Shiqing ran over from behind covering his ears, turned the knob of the radio to the bottom to turn it off, and the world was immediately clean.

He pressed his temple hard, feeling that his ears were ringing from the screaming just now, and then he looked at his teammates in blank dismay—

"Shouldn't this kind of machine have an automatic power-on function?" Xiao Fengdi took it out and looked at it, then asked.

Fang Shiqing smiled wryly and said, "It doesn't exist in reality, but it's a radio in horror games after all. It's not surprising that it has this function."

This radio is old-fashioned and looks like something from the 70s and [-]s. It certainly does not have such a high-end function as a timer switch.However, in this type of game, things such as electrical appliances turning on and off by themselves, and some strange movements suddenly appearing, can be regarded as reserved items.

He tried to turn the knob back on, but there was only a murmur from the machine.

"...that 'ghost in the mirror', why did you make such noise?" Xiao Fengdi rarely showed a slight bewilderment on his face, "Does this behavior have any meaning? It is purely to scare us, to Bringing people here, or something else?"

"This... ghosts do things, do they still need meaning?"

"Of course, ghosts have always needed meaning more than humans." He said, "Every move of them is usually carried out around their own obsessions and goals."

"However, the sound effects in the game are often just to increase the horror atmosphere, and they may not have any practical use..."

Having said that, Fang Shiqing also felt that things should not be so simple.

The two temporarily put the radio back in the drawer and went back to the next room.

You Qingyu had already stood up, was looking out the door, and was obviously relieved to see that they came back safe and sound.

"Did the screaming just now be real?" she said. "I thought I was hallucinating again... What happened?"

Xiao Fengdi glanced at Fang Shiqing.Fang Shiqing miraculously understood what the boss meant, and stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute, let's shake hands first."

"...What are you doing?" She instinctively shrank back.

Fearing that she might misunderstand, Fang Shiqing quickly explained the existence of those dummies so that she could fully understand the necessity of shaking hands.

After all, under normal circumstances, when a man and a girl shake hands, they only hold the fingers, but he has to touch the palm of the other party to confirm the temperature. It would be bad if he was taken advantage of.

You Qingyu's palm was a little warmer than before, but even though she did not refuse to verify after hearing the explanation, she was still full of awkwardness when she was touched, and Fang Shiqing was also very embarrassed.Only Xiao Fengdi, who was completely out of it, remained the same.

Fang Shiqing thought, speaking of it, this boss seems to dislike being touched by others?When he was touched before, he also showed obvious discomfort.

"By the way, does your aunt have a portable semiconductor radio? It's the old style one that can only be tuned by the knob..."

"I don't know." When Aunt You was mentioned, You Qingyu's attitude immediately became very bad, "Who knows what she has, I have never entered her room these days."

"If you think about it again, it was the radio that screamed suddenly just now. I don't know if it's something in your house or something in the copy."

You Qingyu thought about it seriously, but still shook his head.

"I really don't know. Is it in her room? How about I go and have a look, maybe I can recognize it when I see it."

"You'd better not leave this room for now," Xiao Fengdi stopped her, "it might be dangerous."

You Qingyu didn't insist either.

After confirming that she was fine, the two planned to leave to continue the investigation, and You Qingyu also went back and sat down again.

At the moment Fang Shiqing was about to close the door, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye——

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What is that?"

"what happened?"

You Qingyu followed his gaze and turned his head to look, then let out a scream and fell off the chair.

Not far behind her, on the window glass outside the room, a pair of pale hands were moving their fingers little by little, rising up along the glass...

The arm attached to the wrist seemed to have no bones, and looked extraordinarily soft.

This is exactly the kind of hand that was poking out of the mirror before.

"It's it! It, it's coming to catch me—"

She screamed and dodged back.At the same time, those hands moved violently, banging on the glass, as if they were about to break through the window at any time.

You Qingyu was very shadowed by these hands. Seeing that she was about to run out in a panic, Fang Shiqing at the door grabbed her.

"Don't panic—"

"It will strangle me!" She struggled repeatedly and screamed, "If I get caught again, I will definitely be strangled to death—"

Xiao Fengdi poked his head over. After seeing the scene outside the window, he frowned and pushed both of them into the room.

Then he made an unexpected move: he walked directly to the window and pulled it open.

"what!!"

You Qingyu immediately screamed again, but in the middle of the scream, he suddenly fell silent.

In front of Xiao Fengdi, those pale hands still made vigorous slapping movements.But even though there is no glass in front of it, each of its strikes seems to be slapped on a transparent barrier, and it can't make more progress.

"These hands...can't enter this room?"

Fang Shiqing ran to the window and looked down along those two-sided arms.The frighteningly white arm disappeared into the night, turned a corner, and did not know where it came from.

"Well, it seems that it can't enter this room. It seems that as you said before, this room may be a 'safe room' that ghosts cannot enter."

Xiao Fengdi pulled out the knife and stabbed forward. The blade landed on his arm, but it couldn't pierce that layer of skin at all, it could only make it deeply sunken inward.However, after being attacked, the hands paused for a moment, and then slowly retreated downwards.

"Did it go? You mean, do you mean I'm safe now?"

You Qingyu asked in shock, she didn't dare to go to the window to see what happened.

"Probably," Xiao Fengdi closed the window, saying meaningfully, "but if you were scared and escaped just now, it's not necessarily so."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Don't you think that all this was trying to lure you out just now?" He pointed to the next door, "The noise in the next door is to attract people to investigate; the intentional scaring is to scare you out. That'mirror The ghost, unable to attack you in the room, wants to lure you out."

"……No way."

This kind of statement not only scared You Qingyu, but also Fang Shiqing, "But, before we got here, she was alone all the time, and she didn't get attacked much, did she?"

"I'm just guessing," Xiao Fengdi shook his head, and walked towards the door again, "Anyway, be careful, don't just run out once you're frightened."

Fang Shiqing hurriedly followed.

When he came to the corridor, he shook twice, and said in a low voice: "Boss, according to this, this ghost is really smart, and he knows how to cheat."

"I don't know about the situation in the game," Xiao Fengdi said. "In reality, most of the ghosts are very smart. The longer they live, the higher their level, the smarter they are. They are equivalent to the extension of human souls, but their life spans are longer than human beings. Much like human beings, nature can accumulate experience through a long period of time.”

Judging from his experience in reality, no matter how shrewd and cunning the ghost is, it is not surprising.

There was nothing else to look at in the attic, and the two bronze mirrors were nothing out of the ordinary.

Afterwards, the two checked Aunt You's room again, and found a notepad under the pillow, with two words written on the cover: Mirror.

The book is very old, and the paper is brittle and yellowed.Fang Shiqing opened it, and was surprised to find that it turned out to be a diary, and its owner was a young girl named "Mirror"...

According to the conventions of horror games, the diary is always the key prop to understand the background information.It's not moral to read someone else's diary, but it doesn't make sense to be moral at a time like this.

Fang Shiqing probably flipped through the pages, and quickly understood the contents.

The story seems to have happened a long time ago.This girl named "Mirror" has a mediocre family. Besides her, she has three older sisters and one younger brother.When writing this diary, she seems to be a middle school student.

The first half of the book is just recording some trivial things in life, but the tone of the second half suddenly changes. Almost every article is complaining about another girl named "A Sheng".

"I failed the exam today and was beaten by my father. When I was sitting on the threshold crying, I was laughed at by A Sheng, saying that I was useless. She is not me, she has not experienced my pain, how can she know my suffering? Really When everyone is like her, can they be born with such good academic performance?"

"I was chatting with Ah Qing outside, and when I got home a little late, my mother locked me out. I couldn't go home, so I had to go to Ah Sheng's house. I was already uncomfortable being locked out, and she was still sarcastic. Why don't I go back on time and make my mother angry. Don't expect her to comfort me, isn't it so hard not to make sarcastic remarks? I really want to break up with her. "

"Ah Sheng has won an award and made money. She treats me to a popsicle. That attitude is like giving alms. She really hates it. Didn't she just win an award? My eyes are almost staring at the sky."

This "A Sheng" seems to be the daughter of "Mirror"'s neighbor's family, and she has a delicate relationship with "Mirror" who doesn't know whether to be a friend or an enemy.Say they have a bad relationship, but they are always together, say they have a good relationship, the attitude towards Ah Sheng in the diary is like an enemy.

After closing the diary, Fang Shiqing was full of emotions. Are all women's friendships so complicated?

Xiao Fengdi has been watching him from the side, seeing this and asked: "Is there any reference value?"

"Well, well... if the 'mirror is this' ghost in the mirror," Fang Shiqing touched his chin and said, "then I probably know why she hates You Qingyu."

The "A Sheng" described in the diary, for some reason, gives people a feeling very similar to You Qingyu.

He and You Qingyu have known each other not long ago, and he doesn't know much about her, so he can't make a judgment, it's just a feeling.

There were also such characters among his classmates in middle school, outstanding, arrogant, and ignorant of people's hearts...

However, just based on the similarity in the name, it cannot be completely concluded that the "mirror" is this ghost.And even if he could know why she stared at You Qingyu, it didn't seem to be of much help to solve the dungeon.

He thought for a while, then said, "We still need more clues."

Just after leaving this room, the familiar piercing scream sounded again, this time even more horrifying than last time.

The two went back and opened the drawer to have a look. Sure enough, the radio turned on automatically again.

Fang Shiqing silently turned off the radio again, then suddenly reached out and put it into his inventory.
