I Wasn't Born Lucky

Xiao Li was woken up from a dream.

Last night, after he came out of Shen Mizhi's room, he returned to his room. The original effect of the caffeine dissipated because of the numbness spreading on the skin at the back of his neck. He lay on the bed, only feeling drowsy. Later, without even thinking about other things too much, he fell into sleep directly.

He had a long dream.

In the dream, there is a sea, the sea surface is blue, and the sun spreads fine rhinestones on the sea surface, following the ups and downs of the sea surface, it looks sparkling.

From time to time, sea fish jump out and splash a piece of water, the sea and sky line in the distance, magnificent and vast.

In the dream, Xiao Li could clearly know that he was dreaming, and he could even control his actions.

He stood on the shore, looked at the sea in the distance for a while, then turned around and found a group of islands behind him.

With the largest island as the center, the rest of the small land is regularly arranged around, forming a concentric circle with the land in the middle.There are many buildings on the island in the middle, the tallest of which is a temple, which stands on a tall mountain, towering and conspicuous, forming a triangle with the two small temples on the left and right.

On both sides of the temple, there are two god soldiers. They wear helmets and hold a weapon in their hands, as if guarding the things inside the temple. Both the god soldiers and the temple are exquisitely constructed and have a particularly harmonious beauty. It can be seen at a glance even from a distance.

Except for the temple in the middle, the other two small temples are each guarded by a Sphinx statue.

Xiao Li was standing at the westernmost part of this island group.

Xiao Li was silent for a moment facing the building in front of him, and the name mentioned in the mission description came to mind: "Atlantis?"

He turned around and wanted to go to the island in the center, but at this moment, a knock on the door woke him up.

The person who knocked on the door should be in a hurry. He knocked more than a dozen times in a row. At the same time, there were voices of people walking outside the door: "Sherlock, Sherlock?"

Xiao Li just opened his eyes in a daze for a moment, but following the knock on the door, he quickly returned to sobriety, got up from the bed, and opened the door: "What's wrong?"

It was Wen Wenwen who knocked on his door.

The smile on Wen Wenwen's face was gone, and he was dignified. Seeing that Xiao Li was safe and sound, he was relieved first, and then said: "Hetian is dead."

He told Xiao Li what happened just now.

In the morning, Bruce was the first to get up. When he came to the living room halfway, he found Xu Jiaheng was asleep, with the quilt scattered on the floor and his belly exposed.

Bruce chose to wake up Xu Jiaheng, and chatted with him for a while about the situation of this lost town under the confused eyes of the little boy, hoping to get more information.

After that, as time went by, Kexia, Wen Wenwen and others also woke up, and finally only Xiao Li and Hetian's room were left unattended.

Wen Wenwen knocked on Hetian's door first, but no one answered.

Now he immediately became nervous. He didn't have much contact with Tsuruta, but he also had a general idea of ​​what kind of person he was, and he definitely wouldn't take an unusual path like Sherlock.

With no one around for a long time, he chose to break in directly and found that Tsuruta had died on the bed.

Xiao Li followed Wen Wenwen upstairs, and there was a circle of people around Hetian's room, Xu Jiaheng was among them, his face was pale, and he had the same expression as Hetian on the bed, trembling constantly.

Hetian's body was covered by Jin Handong with a white cloth. After he died, he looked shocked, as if he had seen something that he couldn't believe.

Wen Wenwen said: "Maybe it was the figure who came out of the movie, maybe it was the creature who was watching us, but what worries me the most is not this, but when Tsuruta died, he still held the life-saving gun in his hand. props."

He pointed to a mesh-like object on the table.

"This is a very expensive life-saving item in the mall. The purchase is limited every month. As long as you take it out, it can guarantee the safety of the user within a limited time." Jin Handong explained, "It will automatically disappear into the air after use. "

But now this prop was placed on the table glaringly, which meant that it was useless to the thing that killed Tsuruta, which made the reincarnators think of the props on their own.

Sometimes, experienced people dare to take risks, not only because they know the truth of "survival is in danger", but also because most of the life-saving props they have accumulated on their bodies suddenly lose their use, and they can't help feeling flustered.

"Assuming that the one who killed Tsuruta was a cut-throat figure, does that mean that our props are useless to it as a ghost that came out of the movie?" Wen Wenwen tried to steady himself, telling himself not to panic, Be calm and analyze, "If this is the case..."

When he said this, he couldn't continue.

Xiao Li stood at the door, his eyes flickered when he heard the words, watching Xu Jiaheng lowered his head and bit his fingers with his teeth, while Kesia inside was checking the things in Hetian's room.

The task this time is really complicated, it does not specify a specific time, such as the most routine survival of seven days, just let the reincarnations go in and find a way out.

This somehow implies that they cannot find a way out and will die soon.

Also, why was Tsuruta the first to die?

Was it randomness, or did he do something that triggered the goblins to kill him first?

There are currently no answers.

Tsuruta's sudden death made everyone else extra vigilant.

Wen Wenwen secretly pulled Kexia and others, and quietly proposed to isolate Xu Jiaheng again. What he meant was that since the props are no longer available, it is even more necessary to be on the safe side, what if the ghosts live on the plot characters?If you can stay far away, it is better to pay some money and rent a house to accommodate the other party.

This time, no one objected immediately, which was regarded as acquiescing.

Once the samsaras decided on one thing, they would be very efficient. They were going to go out together to find out the news and rent a house by the way. At the intersection in the middle, Xiao Li separated from them.

Wen Wenwen stopped him in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Li: "Go and see Xu Jiaheng's mother."

The rest: "..."

Fortunately, Xu Jiaheng himself was not here, otherwise something might have happened.

Wen Wenwen: "But if Xu Jiaheng's mother has been possessed..."

Xiao Li thought for a while: "But it is also possible to hear another version of a different story. I like listening to stories."

He didn't mean to act with the team, so he raised his hand at Wen Wenwen chicly.

When Xiao Li arrived at Xu Jiaheng's home, his car repair shop had already opened. His mother was wearing a floral plaid shirt and cotton trousers, with the trousers rolled up, squatting in front of a bicycle, tinkering with the parts on it.

Xiao Li tried to say hello: "Aunt Xu...?"

Mother Xu raised her head and glanced at him, her hands kept moving, and she muttered, "Outsider."

Xiao Li directly admitted: "Yes, I just came in from the outside."

"What do you need from me?" Mother Xu asked coldly.

Seeing that Xu's mother didn't seem to communicate well, Xiao Li tried to start with Xu Jiaheng, and he went straight to the point: "Aunt Xu, have you noticed that your son is a little strange recently?"

When Xu Jiaheng was mentioned, Mother Xu finally stood up and threw the screwdriver in her hand on the stool next to her.

"Do you know Ah Heng?"

"It's not acquaintance." Xiao Li said, "It's just a reluctant help."

Mother Xu: "Help him? What can you help him with?"

Xiao Li pondered for a moment: "...survive?"

Xu's mother immediately looked at him with crazy eyes, as if she would take out a broom and drive him away in the next second.

In order to prevent this premonition from coming true, Xiao Li sped up his speech: "Your son told me one thing. He said that you have become different from before, which made him feel scared."

While talking, he kept observing the other person's expression. He thought that Xu's mother would at least be surprised, but unexpectedly, Xu's mother was stunned, and then the whole person seemed to be a different person, and raised her eyes faintly: "Did he tell you that?"

Xiao Li: "Well, Aunt Xu, do you have another version of the story to tell me?"

Xu's mother turned her body backwards, pointing to the residential buildings behind the car repair shop: "Why don't you come in and tell me?"

"No need, I don't like to enter other people's homes casually." Xiao Li said, looking around inadvertently, but found something——

The two houses on the left and right of the Xu family both had windows facing this road. At this time, there were half faces in these two windows, peeping at him through the glass.

This half of the face belongs to the upper half of a human head, and it can be seen that it looks different, but they all stare at him.

As for the windows at the back, there was also a little movement, which was too far away to be seen clearly with the naked eye.

"Are you sure?"

Mother Xu stood where she was, as if waiting for Xiao Li to change her mind.

Xiao Li withdrew his gaze and didn't think for too long: "Well, just say it like this."

Mother Xu didn't seem to have expected this answer, she looked at Xiao Li twice more, and then opened her mouth.

When she spoke, her voice was hollow and lifeless, but there was a faint light in her eyes: "He broke the rules, I have to watch him, keep watching him."

Xiao Li paused for a while, giving her time to continue talking.

Mother Xu's eyes turned sideways to look at the young man in front of her. Her muddled eyes looked very malicious, with layers of wrinkles added on, like tattoos around and around, and her whole body seemed to swell a lot: "You also broke the rules, you outsiders, we have to..."

"Looking at you."

"Watching you flee, struggle, and die."

"Peeping is everywhere."

"You cannot escape."

silence.

long silence.

Mother Xu stood in front of Xiao Li, turning her head, her body was moving, but her eyeballs remained motionless, firmly nailed to their sockets.

Xiao Li listened for a while, bathed in the sight of the other party, and responded: "That's it?"

"Full of feeble threats, repeated words, I thought I could hear a different story."

He raised his volume a little: "The script is written for you. Listen, from your point of view, Xu Jiaheng is a bad boy. He skips class every day, and often mischievously makes the teacher call you to complain. Just bear with it." I can't go down."

"However, recently, he has become even more serious. He keeps saying that there are ghosts in the house, and you obviously didn't see anything, but he keeps saying that you have a problem."

"He said you were a ghost, and you were weird. At the same time, Xu Jiaheng's behavior became even weirder. He often stared out the window at night, saying that there were hairs outside, and curled up under the quilt in fear, refusing to come out. refuse to be with you."

"In desperation, you can only watch him secretly at night, for fear that he will do something, but he grabs you and says you are watching him secretly at night."

"I think this story is a little more dramatic, don't you think?"
