A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Through a layer of glass, a pair of cloudy eyes were staring at him.

——In this small square dug out, there is a thin head.Under the light of the flashlight, the head showed a dull off-white color, the face was extremely distorted, the black mouth was wide open, the eyeballs protruded out of the frame, and the expression looked very painful.

In order to be able to see clearly through the reflection, Fang Shiqing got very close to the glass, so the impact of this picture is quite impressive.He took several steps back one after another, and finally swallowed the exclamation in his throat.

"What's the matter, is there anything inside?" Seeing this, You Qingyu turned the flashlight curiously and walked to the glass.

"Wait a minute, don't—" It was too late to stop.

Seeing his appearance just now, You Qingyu had some psychological expectations for the things inside, but when he saw it, he still couldn't help screaming and almost fell backwards.She covered her mouth, and immediately retreated far away, until she retreated to the side of the crack where there was no way to retreat, and then she stopped.

"Then, what is that? Is it a strange 'decoration'?" She asked with a trembling voice.

Fang Shiqing completely understood her fear.Although the color is not like human skin, the thing inside the glass is by no means a sculpture; ordinary crafts cannot make such rich details.

That is a real human head, at least as real as the head of the NPC they usually face.

Facing a "real" corpse up close is completely different from facing a horror scene through a screen or watching a fake set.Most ordinary people who grew up in modern times have never even seen a corpse, so how could they be able to withstand the shock of such a sudden appearance.

"Hey, don't be afraid, don't forget that this is just a game, everything is virtual." Fang Shiqing quickly comforted her.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but also took a look. With the lessons learned from the other two, he wasn't frightened, but he couldn't help but gasped, showing a disgusted and disgusted expression, and hastily looked away.

"What's going on here? In this place... in this place, human heads are placed on the wall for decoration? Isn't it a bit too evil?"

Zeng Xin didn't dare to look at it at all, only after hearing what he said did she know what was inside, and she immediately backed away a little in fright.

Fang Shiqing took a few deep breaths, then walked forward again, lit it with a flashlight, and looked inside enduring fear and discomfort.

Zhao Jun looked at him in horror: "What are you doing?"

"Check the situation, don't you think this thing is strange?"

After the initial shock passed, Fang Shiqing wasn't too scared.

Since he entered this game, he can see zombies wandering outside the house every night, and occasionally he has the opportunity to have a close contact. No matter how delicate his nerves are, he should be exercised.

"I... I'll watch it with you." You Qingyu said with difficulty, walking over like a heavy step.Fang Shiqing said helplessly: "Let's forget it, don't force yourself."

You Qingyu was very stubborn, she had to come over to help.

The two looked at the situation behind several glass panels one by one.There is a head placed in the small space behind each piece of glass, with different appearances and postures, but without exception, it presents an extremely frightened appearance, which is very uncomfortable to watch.

"These, er, human heads are not decorations," You Qingyu said softly, "They are all embedded in the wall."

Fang Shiqing nodded.These grooves are very shallow, and only the front of the skull inside is exposed, while the back of the head is basically buried in the wall, and one of them in a bowed posture even has half of his chin not in the wall.This posture seems unavoidably reminiscent, as if a complete person is buried in the wall, only the face is exposed.

He went around to the back of the wall and touched the wall, only to feel that it felt extraordinarily cold.

The front and back sides of this wall are covered with beautiful ceramic tiles, and the "display booths" with people's heads exposed have been dug out on the front, but there are many decorations inlaid on the back.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the wall is, once you think that there may be a human body inside, it will only make you shudder.

He just touched it casually and wanted to withdraw his hand. Unexpectedly, when his finger touched a certain raised object, his passive skill suddenly activated its effect, and he immediately identified the name of the object in his hand.

In the first dungeon, this skill only had level one, and it could only recognize the names of items put in the props.However, after using it a while ago, its accumulated experience value has increased by one level, and now it only needs to touch something, and its name will automatically pop up.

When he read that name, he immediately felt bad.

"Wait? This is--it's an emerald!"

After reacting, he immediately turned on the flashlight, and it shone directly on the decoration embedded in the wall at hand.Even under such dim light, the irregular object exposed on the wall still had a moist emerald green luster, which looked very beautiful.

Jade is an expensive jade that is very famous in reality and is usually used to make jewelry and ornaments.

Fang Shiqing knew nothing about the jewelry industry, and didn't know its specific value. He only knew that it was rare and valuable.

Occasionally, I read news that some rich people would use emeralds to stick walls or something, but—this is just an abandoned building? !Taking a step back, even if it is not abandoned, it is just a shopping mall built in a small town. Does this kind of shopping mall usually use jade to decorate the walls?

"What's the matter?" You Qingyu also followed, seeing him behaving strangely, she immediately asked in confusion.

Fang Shiqing didn't bother to answer, and hurriedly touched all the raised parts along the wall to the other side, and was shocked to find that all the decorations were quite familiar gemstones, such as ruby, amethyst, emerald and so on.

Since the stones are all embedded in the wall, the volume is not too large, and he can't tell the color or anything, but anyway, the amount is quite considerable.

By the time he touched the other side of the wall, the previous bewilderment had gradually subsided, replaced by utter joy, and he even couldn't help laughing out loud.

If you guessed right, this should be the supplies provided by the dungeon to players, just like the mushroom-filled cabinet in the ghost in the mirror dungeon.I didn't expect that the collected objects this time turned out to be gems!Gems should be worth more than mushrooms, right?

He reached out and took out the pickaxe from the inventory. This kind of thing is considered a regular farming tool for him. He always carries it on his back, and it can come in handy at this time.

Seeing him happily planning to smash the wall, the people next to him almost screamed: "Wait, Shi Qing? What do you want to do?!"

You Qingyu grabbed his arm and pulled it back forcefully, looking at his expression was almost like looking at a mentally ill patient.

"Ah, I didn't want to do anything, I just planned to knock down the decoration on the wall," he explained, "Look at these colorful stones, they are actually precious stones, maybe they are very valuable—"

However, after such an explanation, You Qingyu not only didn't let go, but pulled him even tighter.

"What are you crazy about?" Zhao Jun came around from the other end at some point, and when he saw it, he burst into anger, "It's okay to touch such a weird thing, but you still want to smash it? Don't die. ?”

"……Hey?"

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and his arms drooped unconsciously - his mind was full of sparkling gems just now, and he was only thinking about digging for gems, and he really forgot all about those weird scenes on the front of the wall.

This is also his old problem.

Think about it carefully, with this pickaxe, maybe a dead person will be dug out...

"Sorry, I... I forgot," he apologized to his teammates in embarrassment, looked back at the gems, and said hesitantly, "Then I, dig carefully? Only knock out the gems on the surface, without damaging the wall itself. "

That is a gem, very valuable!It's right here, and it literally says "you can pick and choose" in big characters!

If he let it go like this, it would be like throwing a large sum of money out of thin air, and he couldn't be reconciled anyway.

Zhao Jun was half-dead with anger: "If you want to kill yourself, don't bother others? Don't care what this thing is, whether it's worth it or not, this money is worthwhile to earn and spend! What if your actions lead to danger? , and caused everyone to lose their lives, can you bear the responsibility!"

His tone was heavy.No one would like to be teased like this, and Fang Shiqing was no exception, and suddenly felt a little angry.

Zhao Jun himself realized that his words were a bit too much, so he slowed down his tone, and said, "You can earn money at any time. This dungeon is too dangerous, and this wall is even more weird. Let's be careful. Come on, try not to touch anything."

The attitude of the other party has improved a lot, and Fang Shiqing has no reason to be angry.After he reacted, his mood also gradually declined. From the initial anger, it quickly evolved into full of helplessness.

He couldn't refute at all, because probably what Zhao Jun said was right.

To put it bluntly, the behavior of "collecting collections in dungeons" is undoubtedly beneficial to future sustainable development.For horror survival games, the amount of materials is often limited very tightly. Even if they are not collected at all, it is still easy to be insufficient in the later stage.

But—he knew very well in his heart that he didn't think about such long-term things at all when he was collecting, it was just an outbreak of long-standing game habits.This is the instinct of any player when playing the game.

However, "normal people"—will they play their game instincts in this kind of place?In such a life-and-death place?

Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with collecting materials in a "game", is this really a "game"?In a place where there is only one life and death is death, who but a freak like himself could think so?

If he was the only one here, he would swing the pickaxe without hesitation.

But at this moment, he couldn't even say anything to refute.Because, once teammates are involved—the lives of "others" are involved, you can no longer be unscrupulous.

In case a few monsters are triggered immediately after removing the gem, and he has no way to deal with the monsters at that time, isn't it just tiring his teammates?

Forget it, forget it.Anyway, I promised the boss "not to die" before, and these collections are not worth mentioning.

He sighed and put the pick away completely.

"You can't say that--" You Qingyu seemed a little confused just now, and said after a moment of silence, "If you are only worried about danger, you don't need to play this game. Shi Qing, you mean that the stones on this wall are gems? That should be worth the money, and even if the wall looks weird, I think the risk is worth the risk."

"..." I didn't expect that someone would support the risk of smashing the wall, Zhao Jun suddenly became angry, "It's fine for other things, why do you have to fight with me about this kind of thing?"

"I never argue with anyone, I just stated what I think is the correct point of view." You Qingyu said coldly, "Speaking of it, even if he doesn't hit the wall, are we safe? We are now in the dungeon , there is no security at all, okay?"

"You guys-"

"Hush!" Zeng Xin, who was standing not far away, suddenly gestured at them.She didn't dare to face the heads on the front by herself, so when they circled to the back, she also followed, but they were timid and didn't speak.

"Listen!" She hid beside Fang Shiqing and whispered palely, "It seems that there is something... coming towards us——"

The others silenced all of a sudden, and the space immediately became very quiet.

I didn't feel it when it was noisy before, but once it quieted down, several people heard a strange sound.

Click-click-click-click-

It's just like--

"It's like some metal is rubbing..."

After subconsciously saying such a sentence, he immediately covered his mouth, and his heart was full of extremely bad premonitions.

Speaking of metal, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be...

At this time, several people suddenly had a tacit understanding, and immediately directed the flashlight to the place where the sound came from.

——At the edge of the halo, a black figure slowly appeared.
