I'm afraid of non-human beings

Inside the secret agency.

There were no new monsters or victims for a while, and the atmosphere was not as lively as it was when the game was in full swing.

What everyone should do, the onlookers in white coats dispersed in disinterest, began to work on their own work, and occasionally looked up at the screen to see if there was any change in the situation.

The thin researcher from before also walked to the coffee machine beside him, absently waiting for the pot of coffee to be brewed.

He is not very picky, wait for the indicator light to light up, fill the glass halfway, add a few ice cubes, and it will reach the temperature that can be eaten.

As soon as he took a sip, he grinned at the unexpected sourness and bitterness, and was smacking whether he should add some sugar. The colleague who was adjusting the temperature of the venue just looked at the display screen and came over with a strange expression.

"Well, Wayne," he said, "are you betting on Chuckie?"

"Yes."

The researcher named Wayne poured white sugar into a paper tube without looking up, "What's wrong?"

After stirring it at the end, he tasted it and felt that the taste was moderate and the sweetness was just right, so he took another sip in satisfaction.

The colleague's expression was still weird, and he pointed to the screen he had been staring at before.Wayne still had coffee in his mouth. Seeing this, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled and looked over.

He thought about it and walked away for two or three minutes, seeing that the two of them seemed to be fighting a guerrilla war, so what happened——

He saw Chucky, a ghost baby with only its head sticking out of the ground.

Wayne: "Pfft—"

-

Lin You and Chu Qi are still confronting each other.

She wanted to leave immediately, but just after taking two steps, this guy screamed loudly from behind.

"Stop! You all give me a fucking stop—"

Chucky's whole body was buried in the soil, but his voice was loud enough to yell at them to stop.

Lin You turned around helplessly, "What are you doing?"

... Listen to this perfunctory tone!

The ghost baby Chucky was trembling all over, and his hair was about to stand on end with anger. The baby's face, which was like rubber and human skin, had been scratched several times, and now it looked even more ferocious.Not to mention the undisguised ferocity in his eyes—the eyes of a real murderer, Geng Qinghe, who was an accomplice to the burial alive, didn't dare to say a word, and could only eat melons obediently and quietly.

Lin You didn't care. The serial killer she met last time was knocked out by the doppelganger before she showed her face, and the latter was scared out of his mind by Naia before he could show his power. It's like a screaming chicken, and it's just like the bottom of the food chain.

In other words, she has even seen the evil god, and she is afraid that you, a mere ghost, will fail.

"I'm telling you!" Chucky's face was distorted, wishing he could reach out and point at himself, "I'm very useful!!"

"Hmm."

Lin You nodded again and again, "And then?"

...Fuck, isn't this too perfunctory? !

"You are the first one who has dared to look down on Lao Tzu for so many years!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "How will you know if it's powerful if you don't try it?!"

"Okay," Lin You sighed, turned around, and squatted down in front of him, "Then let's compare."

"Can you move objects with your mind?"

Chucky: "..."

"Will you fall asleep?"

Chucky: "..."

"Besides, if someone treats you like this, turn off the fire. They are all doll possessed and serial murderers," Lin You patted his head, but she sighed when she stood up, "Why is there such a big difference. "

Chucky: "…………………"

Blame him? ! !

Looking at the whole life and ghost life, the ghost baby Chaqi has never been more popular than now, even the betrayal of his accomplices back then is not as strong as his own strength. A chance to prove yourself? !

"No no."

Lin You understood his eyes, and immediately said vigilantly, "I'm very nervous about the slot."

"So let's let each other go, it's good for everyone. If you want to do something, at least get out of this pit." As soon as the voice fell, he turned and walked in the direction he was planning to leave, afraid that he would touch the porcelain. He pulled Geng Qinghe who was stunned in place, "Let's go, let's go."

She was in a hurry to look elsewhere.

——Too much deceit! !

Chucky almost passed out, but just like Lin You said, he couldn't even get out, all he could do was stare at the table knife used to dig the hole a few meters away, impotently and furious.

This also reminded Lin You that she came to pick up the two small knives and confiscated his murder weapon in front of Chucky.Even if the ghost baby Chucky can't crawl out and doesn't need to guard against it, it can still be used as a messenger for self-defense.

"Damn it!" Chucky cursed loudly from behind, "Just wait for me! I have to prove myself when I get out!"

Lin You waved her hand without looking back.

"Okay, okay, take your time and work hard."

After such a delay, the sun hanging in the middle of the sky shifted to the west, Chucky's shout was far away, and the shadow of the disheveled red hair was no longer visible among the densely packed trees.There was only the rustling of fallen leaves in her ears, and Lin You held up the fragment of the map, identifying the terrain depicted on it among the mottled leaf shadows.

"That's not to say where the boxes are," she mused agonizedly over the varying widths of the contours. "There's a river ahead, why don't you go there and have a look?"

Lin You's voice froze.

"...What did you step on?"

Just now, she clearly heard the sound of something being stepped on, and her first reaction was to cast her eyes on someone who was too unlucky.

"No, Sister You..." Geng Qinghe looked at her blankly, "It's not me."

Lin You was taken aback.

In the next second, she turned her head reflexively.

It was a hoof that stepped on the broken branch.

The hoof was shaped like a horse's hoof, but not exactly the same, and it was covered with silvery white fur.

The unicorn she had just glimpsed in the woods was now standing in front of her.Its whole body is snow-white, its long and smooth mane hangs on the side of its neck, its raised front legs are bent into a graceful arc, and its pair of blue eyes are as deep as the purest lake water.

—if those eyes were not looking straight at them.

Its horns were still clotted with dark brown blood stains, and the originally peaceful eyes turned crimson again after seeing the two humans standing by the tree directly opposite.

The unicorn's hooves kept pawing the ground, and its snorts were heavier and heavier, as if it would charge at them in the next second.

...Damn it.

Lin You cursed secretly, seeing that its back was facing the direction they came from, she guessed what was going on.

This guy has gone all the way, presumably he was attracted back by Chucky's yelling.

But compared to possessed dolls, unicorns are obviously more hostile to real humans——

It kicked off.

Geng Qinghe screamed: "I knew it would be me!"

The excessively sharp horns pushed straight at him, and the minced meat still hanging on it looked terrified.He twisted his body vigorously, only to let the horn pass through his armpit in a thrilling way, his whole body fell crookedly to the side, but he still stopped abruptly.

It is true that it was thanks to Lin You who gave him an elbow in time, but she had no doubt that she could successfully stabilize the balance without this help.

"Nice athleticism!" she said.

Although it was still at a critical juncture, Geng Qinghe couldn't help but laugh at the praise from the boss.

"Actually, I used to be in the track and field club—"

Before he finished speaking, he watched the unicorn whose horns were deeply embedded in the tree trunk raise its hind legs, his expression changed, and he suppressed the remaining half of his cry in his heart.

——But I often fall because I don’t know what flat ground I stepped on!

The unicorn had no intention of giving up at all. It shook its head and struggled to pull out its horn, but the kicking of its hind hoof made it impossible to get close.

The cracked wooden joints really had a tendency to loosen slightly, and with another flick of its head and tail, the unicorn successfully regained its freedom.

But when it looked around again, the two people it attacked had disappeared.

The unicorn's sense of smell was not so keen, and it couldn't smell the expected smell, so it had to give up, flicked its tail quietly, and looked for the next target.

In the bushes as tall as half a person.

Both Lin You and Geng Qinghe squatted behind, letting the shadow of the swaying weeds cover their figures.Hearing the sound of kicking hoofs going away, she breathed a sigh of relief, took out the fragment of the map, estimated where they were, and poked a small hole in it with a knife.

Geng Qinghe: "Sister Youyou...?"

"Remember where it is active."

Lin You replied, "I'll look for it later."

Hope it doesn't go too far by then.

Geng Qinghe couldn't help being awed, and retreated tactically.

——Is this the boss’ awareness of accepting cards? ! !

At this moment, thinking about the ghost baby Chuck who doesn't deserve to have a name has a different kind of bitterness, but everyone present obviously doesn't care about this.Or, before thinking about it, I was attracted by another thing.

"Hold on."

Lin You suddenly said, "There seems to be something in the grass."

She pushed aside the leaves, and saw clearly a touch of black hidden inside.

The object was red and black, with so many irregular planes that it looked almost spherical.

"Could it be that someone fell here...?" Geng Qinghe asked uncertainly, "But what about people?"

Eager to find his companions, he raised his head and looked around, but neither the living nor the dead could be seen.

"no one there?"

Lin You murmured.

"It may have been accidentally dropped while escaping, or it may have been recovered by the group of people who wanted to sacrifice it later."

It is self-evident what was omitted from the latter options, Geng Qinghe only felt his throat tighten, and looked down at the black polyhedron, fearing that it might be something dangerous again.

——In a sense, his intuition was right.

"Then this..."

"I know it." Lin You said abruptly.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she had read a written description of it.

Geng Qinghe: "...Huh??"

"This is--"

"It's something to meet someone 'acquaintance' of mine," she said slowly.

Seeing it in this kind of place, she even suspected that the guy stuffed it in just to watch the excitement.

Shiny Tractahedron.

It can call upon a certain evil god - one of Nyarlathotep's avatars, the Nightmare.

He can be summoned once placed in a dark place, and she picked it up from the shadow of the grass.

This also means-

Among the forest leaves, there was a faint laugh.
