I'm afraid of non-human beings

The darkness surged up and receded like a tide, and when the scene in front of me was clear again, it was completely different from the surging crowd under the scarlet sky.

In the last twilight of the evening, the dilapidated cobblestone road stretches forward, and at the end is a small two-story western-style building that is as dilapidated as it is.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the windows, whose glass was almost shattered into cobwebs, seemed to be about to fall when the wind blew, hanging there dangling dangerously.

Standing at the gate, Lin You remembered the name of the level that the gloomy voice whispered in her ear before coming in.

"The haunted house"... ah.

"This house..."

As soon as someone opened his mouth, the conversation was picked up by another person: "The second floor was burned?"

Lin You turned her head when she heard the sound, and looked at the others unobtrusively.

Looking at it this way, the giant eye that calls itself "Nova" is still a bit "kind", at least giving them a chance to cooperate with their teammates.

The middle-aged man who spoke first was obviously talkative, with a full chin and beard, and he didn't get annoyed when he was interrupted.

Seeing that the atmosphere fell silent for a while, he simply continued: "Well, let's put the investigation on hold for now. Since everyone is standing here, it is not only a kind of fate, but also a sign that they are still working hard."

After all, looking at the time difference, it should be the difference between pressing the button with the front and rear feet.

"My name is Zhang Pingshan," Lu Hu took the initiative to introduce himself, "plus the public beta, it looks like there are six or seven books."

Nowadays, holographic games all require real-name registration, and "Box", which emphasizes immersion and substitution, is no exception.

Although the name will not float on the top of the head, whether to tell others is entirely up to one's own will, but in a situation like this, everyone is a natural ally with the same hatred, and it doesn't hurt to state some things frankly.

"Liang Xue."

The young girl who interrupted before also followed suit, but she seemed to be quite impatient.

"I only caught up with the last train of the public beta, so my experience is so-so!"

"Ah, I'm new."

Lin You innocently raised a hand, blinked and announced her name, and said, "Just when I wanted to enter the first instance, I was dragged into this life-and-death situation."

—The kind that couldn’t be newer.

Everyone: "..."

Thank you for daring to press! !

Zhang Pingshan and Liang Xue looked at this newcomer who was not afraid of tigers, and they were dumbfounded one by one. Even the timid young man was stunned for a long time before reporting himself.

"Well, I did it twice," he scratched his face, "I think it's not a problem to stand still..."

Originally, he had very little gaming experience compared to the two people next to him, but with Lin You at the bottom, the focus immediately shifted to her.

"Hey," Liang Xue leaned over curiously, "Then you are still a free man?"

Lin You nodded, "Yes".

To say that the most distinctive feature of "Box" is its diverse career system.

Players can use this to gain certain abilities and gains.Occupation categories are all-encompassing, only you can't think of it, you can't do it without it.

There are rumors that every player will be matched with the most suitable occupation in the novice tutorial, but it is a pity that Lin You has no time to experience this.In her personal panel, there are still three question marks in the occupation column.

Although there is such a big crisis right now, the career system is still functioning normally, and this buff can be regarded as the last resort of the players.

"Now the entire game mechanism has changed," Zhang Pingshan sighed, "I don't know what method will be used to determine the occupation of newcomers, and..."

This time may be long or short, everything is unknown.

But no matter what, only one of the four is an inexperienced amateur, and there is no doubt who is most likely to be killed at the door.He seemed to be the master but he didn't care at all, and he still had a calm and breezy smile.

Weak youth: "...You, are you not worried at all?"

"It's all here, it's useless to worry about it."

Lin You spread her hands, "Go in and see the situation before we talk."

During the conversation, she looked around again.

"It makes sense."

Zhang Pingshan sighed.

Their goal for this level is already in sight, and honestly, there is no other choice.

Looking around, there are barren mountains and mountains all around.Compared with the deep mountains and wild forests, this old house seems a little bit safer.

There are large areas of scorched black marks on the outer wall of the second floor, and it can be seen at a glance that it has been burned.However, even if it is obvious that there are many moths, it is better than being attacked by wild animals or freezing to death in the forest.

My own status bar is floating in the upper right corner of my field of vision, and now I have a cold negative status. When the temperature cools down at night, I am afraid that even the blood bar will drop.

The most important thing is that the name of this level is "Sly Mansion", and no matter what, you have to solve the mystery in it before you can leave.

There was no time to delay them lamenting their situation. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they had no doubts about entering the house.Zhang Pingshan held his breath, and took the lead without hesitation, and was the first to walk towards the bungalow along the stone road in the courtyard.

With a big push, the rotten wooden door creaked.

Everyone's scalps felt a little numb at the same time, but Lin You was the only one who knocked on the door and muttered "Excuse me" when she came in.

Liang Xue who heard every word: "..."

No, it would be even more terrifying if someone responded at this time, right? !

She walked in the end, suppressing the urge to complain and silently left a gap for the door.

Fortunately, the door was locked directly without being released like the law of horror movies, but after thinking about it, this may not be a good thing.

"What should we do now?" Liang Xue asked, "Continue to walk in?"

This small two-storey bungalow... looks like a residential building.

When they came in, they were standing in the corridor, looking out into the dark living room.

The furniture stood there unevenly, and a gust of mountain wind blew up the ragged curtains, casting them on the ground like vain ghosts.

"It's going to be night soon..." Zhang Pingshan said, "Hurry up and look for something that can be used for lighting."

They searched around the living room, but all they found were moth-eaten furniture.

Carefully bypassing the coat rack, Lin You stared at the coffee table next to the sofa.She bent over the side of the cabinet, grabbed the handle and pulled hard.

Lin You: "..."

A small spider lay on its back inside.

She sighed dully and closed the drawer again with a snap.

Liang Xue heard the prestige and came over, "How is your side?"

"It's just a dead spider," Lin You opened the two bottom drawers to look, and replied, "There's nothing else."

Not even a flashlight was seen.

There was only one desk lamp in the whole living room. They tried to press it, but it didn't turn on.

"Think about the good," Zhang Pingshan straightened up, and said in a bittersweet tone, "At least it proves that the circuit is connected here."

But there is nothing here, whether it is a candle or an electric switch, I can only look elsewhere.

Liang Xue: "Group by two?"

Zhang Pingshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Although it is safest to act in a group, it is too inefficient; it is too dangerous to act alone in this kind of place.Teams of two are the best option.

Walking out of the living room, the other two chose the left-hand side, while Lin You and Liang Xue turned to the right.

"Don't go too far," Zhang Pingshan reminded before parting, "I can take care of anything."

The wooden floor is also old, and it creaks when you step on it, giving Lin You the illusion that it will break if you are not careful.

Walking in the corridor, Liang Xue recalled the past, and said to herself that this was the first time she had seen such...a strange newcomer.

"...I don't know what's going on outside." She shook her head, "What's the origin of that eye?"

Lin You turned her head and shrugged.

"Who knows."

She said: "Anyway, listening to that tone, if you want to survive, you have to do what it says—"

Before the words finished, Lin You suddenly stopped.

Just now, she seemed to hear a trace of other sounds mixed with the footsteps of the two.

——The little brother can't get home after following him.

Lin You looked back.

The corridor was empty and there was no sound.

Seeing her reaction, Liang Xue immediately became vigilant, "Did you hear—?"

"It's hard to say," Lin You shook his head, "Go in first."

In front of their eyes was the room closest to the living room.

With such an episode ahead, Liang Xue's action of pushing the door was inevitably a little more apprehensive.

Lin You stayed behind thinking about the voice just now, and followed after hearing the greeting from the person in front.

Seeing her approaching, Liang Xue took the initiative to make way sideways, "It's the study."

Looking up, there are tall bookshelves standing on both sides. Through the gaps between the spines of those old books, Lin You saw the desks and windows behind.That is because of the pitiful little light coming in from this small window, although the atmosphere is still gloomy and chilly, it is still brighter than the almost invisible corridor.

Taking a step forward, Lin You found herself stepping on a soft and thick wool carpet.

She thought to herself that the living room was like that, and the study room was quite elegant.

There are too many bookshelves, so she may not be able to find anything, but she can guess where to find it.

Lin You walked straight to the desk, and was slightly taken aback after seeing the things on it.

"This is……"

She reached out and fiddled with the three or two rows of round letter buttons, "typewriter?"

The small typewriter, which had long been replaced by the keyboard and retired from the stage of history, was just placed on the table, and its metal texture made it look obviously heavy.Although it was covered with thick dust like everything in this house, there was one most important difference.

"And..." Liang Xue followed and reached out to grab the piece of paper next to it, "It's not just a typewriter."

Even if the light is not so bright, you can vaguely see the densely packed prints on the paper.

"Someone used it to write a letter."

The letter paper was torn into several pieces, Liang Xue couldn't grab them all at once.When she wanted to reach out again, she stopped suddenly.

Even if it was only for a moment, she believed that she couldn't hear it wrong, it was the sound of something caressing.

Lin You got closer and could hear more clearly.

She lowered her head slowly.

...She knew who the guy who followed in the corridor just now was.

The carpet at the feet slowly bulged, twisting in odd ways into the shape of a face.

It was clearly still lurking underneath, but that small piece of carpet had an abnormally light color, which further highlighted the terrifying blue-white face.

The corners of the mouth were raised strangely, and a pair of frighteningly large eyes stared straight at them who were still standing there.

Under the wool blanket, something else seems to be gradually forming.Those slender fingers curled up and quickly grasped forward——

That's where Lin You stood.

Liang Xue woke up with a start, she reached out her hand and wanted to grab someone, but suddenly she couldn't.

"Eh?!"

It was too late to say it, but a second before the withered ghost grabbed it, Lin You rushed to the desk and picked up the typewriter.

Turn around, take a step, all in one go.Then, he slammed down on the nose of that face!

Just hear a "bang".

grimace:"……"

grimace:"…………"

Short and long as a century of silence.

Grimace: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
