The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

The teacher's apartment was empty. Huaying took the assigned house number and took a step cautiously. The soles of his shoes rolled over the gravel and gravel on the ground, making a creaking sound.

"The third floor..." He meditated on the location, and climbed up the stairs. The opponent who did not sleep was assigned to the fourth floor. On the upper floor, "It's just the third floor, nothing else?"

The corridor was dark and dull, and there was a dead silence.Broken light bulbs were sticking out of the lamp tubes, and the air was filled with an acrid smell mixed with fishy smell and dust.Only the sound of his own heartbeat and blood flow echoed in Huaying's ears, and every step he took was like a thrilling assessment.

Before he noticed, Xie Yuanyuan had already gone up.Hua Ying hurried to the third floor, and saw a lonely door open at the end of the corridor, with a dim yellow light shining through it.

"Only one house is a game place?" Hua Ying was a little confused. He took a few steps forward and turned the doorknobs of other apartments on both sides of the corridor. The rusty and dull lock cylinders creaked. was opened by him.

The crack of the door was wide open, and it was dark inside, which made people feel chills just looking at it.Huaying closed one, opened another, tried all the way, and found that all the apartments on this floor can be opened.

"That is to say, the area of ​​hide-and-seek has expanded to a whole three-story building..." Hua Ying murmured in his heart, "Looking at it this way, it's still a bit difficult."

He patted the dirt off his hands lightly, walked to the innermost room, opened the door, and saw that the light in the room was dim, the furniture and cups were turned into a mess, the floor and wall were brown and red, covered with Unknown liquid was splashed everywhere, like blood that hadn't dried up for a long time, and there seemed to be a few fingerprints on the side.There was no sound in the surroundings, not even a trace of smoke, it was terrifying and empty, and Hua Ying couldn't help swallowing his throat.

Most of the teachers' apartments in Haihe Middle School are shared by four people, so the structure of the house is also standard with three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is no worse than ordinary people's houses.Hua Ying stepped carefully over the debris and overturned furniture, and saw a dirty doll on the table.

[Prop introduction: Can you find me, where am I?

He picked it up with his fingers, and the doll stood up, about as long as his forearm, very realistically made.The head and limbs are made of plastic material like Barbie dolls. The face has big eyes, upturned nose, and curved mouth corners. It is a standardized cute face coming off the assembly line, but the grinning lips are painted blood red. , Just looking at it makes people feel hairy.

In addition, this doll only has a plush texture on the stomach. When you pinch it, it seems to be filled with sticky and wet cotton wool, which is all over Huaying's fingers.He hastily let go, opened his fingers and saw that the fingertips had already been stained with a layer of black-brown with a strong smell.

"Ouch, it's really disgusting..." Hua Ying wrinkled his face, wiped his fingers on the corner of the table, and forced himself to complete the next steps.

"Give me a name, give me a name..." He frowned, "It's dirty and smelly, just call it a rag."

[Your game object name: Rag has been successfully created. 】

Hua Ying was taken aback: "Damn, it really succeeded?"

He had no choice but to cut open the belly of the rag with scissors, take out the sticky and dense cotton wool inside, fill it with rice and his nails, and then sew a few rough hands with red thread. Needle, and the rest wound around the doll.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Ying filled the bathtub with water. Amidst the sound of pouring water, he grabbed the doll and said loudly to it: "Hua Ying is a ghost!"

When he yelled for the first time, he didn't know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the doll in his hand seemed to twitch, and the stiff smile on his face became more and more weird.

So when he yelled the second time, Hua Ying's spirit was not so full: "...Hua Ying is a ghost!"

At the third sound, he even stuttered a little: "Hua, Hua Ying is a ghost!"

He was the only voice in the whole house. After Hua Ying finished shouting, he felt a little mentally retarded, so he couldn't help scolding himself.

He turned off the faucet and threw the doll on the wobbly water, leaving only the light in the bathroom as a guide, then turned around and turned off the lights in the living room, dining room and bedroom, and began counting down the seconds with his eyes closed.

"Ten..." he said secretly in his heart.When the eyes are closed, other organs are more sensitive to the outside world.His ears moved subconsciously, and he heard faint breathing sounds coming from nowhere.

"Nine..." Hua Ying frowned suspiciously. After the sound of breathing, there was a small but coherent sound of gasping, which sounded like a feeble giggle, slowly approaching from behind him.

"Eight, seven, six..." Hua Ying's palms were sweating, and a thin layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead and back. His heartbeat became faster and faster, and he couldn't help but speed up his counting.

"Five, four, three, two, one!" The sound of something splashing out of the water, the slight pattering sound, and the slightly sickly laughter that was gasping, all became clearer and clearer in the darkness and the extreme silence, even reaching the harshness.Hua Ying's heart was beating like a drum, and he almost yelled out the last number, then opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up and looked back——

——On the ground not far behind him, there was a line of wet and small footprints, spreading from the bathroom to here.

Huaying's scalp was numb, and the hairs all over his body were about to stand on end. His Adam's apple rolled and he let out a trembling grunt. Holding a small knife in his hand, he walked stiffly into the bathroom.The doll he named the rag was still ups and downs in the water, but at this moment, its face had turned away, its lifeless eyes were fixed on the direction of the door, and its blood-red lips were exaggerated, as if immediately You can speak to people.

Hua Ying's voice was trembling, but he still tried his best to keep calm. After saying "I found the rag", he plunged the knife into the doll's body.After confirming that the tip of the knife had touched the finely crushed rice, he whispered, "It's the rag's turn!"

Then he swallowed a mouthful of salt water with lightning speed, and ran away!

Almost at the moment when he stepped out of the bathroom door, he heard a splash of water on his back foot. Hua Ying was almost frightened out of his wits, and his mental value couldn't stop plummeting. He took out a cloud of smoky things from the package Smash it directly to the ground!

boom!

Like some kind of mysterious reflection, another "Hua Ying" body immediately appeared on the spot!

hide!Hua Ying gestured to the projection, and at the same time kept walking, and ran out of the apartment at a fast speed. He lost his eyes, stared at a house next to the corridor, turned away the handle and rushed in!

However, as soon as Huaying entered the door, he regretted it.

Without him, this apartment is too simple.

There was nothing on the ground except tables, chairs, benches, and a large cabinet.The walls were painted white and clean, and the room was empty, which was in stark contrast to the messy and clogged room just now, but Hua Ying didn't have time to think too much, he looked left and right, and chose to jump on the big cabinet, and then used concealment props to cover up the space. live by yourself.

The doll seems to be confused by the two identical game objects, and has not yet chased after it, as if it was spinning around the room.After thinking about it, Huaying still chose to share the line of sight.

With salt water in his mouth, he couldn't utter a word, but he had to find out something about this hide-and-seek.

Hua Ying pushed the sunglasses, which is also a night vision prop. At this moment, his senses are connected with the projection that he was ordered to hide in the bedroom closet.Through the closet through a gap, Hua Ying seemed to hear the soft laughter of the doll echoing in the room, and its small plastic leather shoes rattled on the glass or metal debris on the floor.

If it has such a small size, there seems to be no need to be afraid of it... Hua Ying thought in his heart.Because there is no sense of fear, and because it is not human, the physiological activity of the projection is extremely scarce, almost zero. Huaying communicates with his five senses, and just waits for the doll to find it with peace of mind.

"I need to know how it can kill people." Hua Ying thought to himself.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the soft voice of the doll.

"It's not fair, it's not fair..."

It said this in an extremely thin voice without any ups and downs, Hua Ying frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The next moment, the movement of the doll suddenly became louder!

Yes, this is not my own illusion, the sound it produces has become louder.The sound of it walking on the floor became heavier, the sound of breathing became thicker, and the shrill laugh in its throat was also sharp and piercing in the dead silence. More importantly, Hua Ying could clearly distinguish that the source of the sound had fundamentally changed. Sexual changes.

In the past, the doll was only as long as his forearm, and its voice naturally came from the low ground; but now, its sound seemed to come from a higher place... Could it be that it has grown taller? !

"pat".

The sound of the doll's footsteps stopped at the door of the bedroom.

Obviously what was staying in the closet was just an insignificant projection, but Hua Ying's heart still rose to his throat, and even his hands and feet began to feel cold.

"Huaying...Huaying..." The doll called out Huaying and told its real name in a high-pitched voice, "I'm going to find you soon, you are here!"

The salt water in Hua Ying's mouth wrapped the tip of his tongue bitterly. However, his body lying on the cabinet didn't move. He just held his breath and waited for the doll to leave—or the nightmare to come.

The doll's footsteps circled around the small bedroom, and then suddenly stopped in front of the wardrobe!

Hua Ying broke out in a cold sweat, and fear flooded over him like a tide, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.But the projection still faithfully performed its duties, neither speaking nor moving, like a silent statue.

Ten long seconds passed, 30 seconds passed, 1 minute passed, 2 minutes passed... Hua Ying could feel the doll's distorted eyes full of malice fixed on the fragile cabinet door, just waiting to reach out and open it, It can become a situation of catching a turtle in a urn.But it didn't move any more, it turned around and left.

The soles of the shoes hit the ground with a click, and Hua Ying was slightly relieved. Just as he made the projection straighten up silently, he planned to put his eyes close to the gap in the wardrobe, and take a look at the doll's current form——

Hua Ying's breathing was suddenly suffocated, his pupils constricted, and the cold sweat on his face flowed like a stream.

A giant doll as tall as a person stood not far away. Its curved blood-red lips were exaggerated and dull, and its white-less eyes were pitch black.

It was facing the closet just now, walking backwards to the door!

The doll stared at Hua Ying, who was looking at it from the gap, and suddenly let out a shrill laugh: "I'm going to find you soon, you are here!"
