I'm afraid of non-human beings

Lin You's first reaction was to raise her hand.

However, all she could touch was the stuffy and empty air, and the picture book she had been thinking about was not summoned out—obviously, only this one in front of her was special.

Lin You: "..."

Cut, disappointed.

Naia: "?"

Well, anyway, it's rude to show regret in front of the "person" who just helped you out.Lin You coughed, and looked at the black shadow stepped on by the other party. It stands to reason that facing such a high-ranking existence, it should be an overwhelming instinctive fear that can't even give up any resistance, but they are still squirming without giving up. .

The only explanation is that this man is enjoying the joy of playing with despair again.

"It's been a while," she decided not to mention the harsh words that a certain evil god said before entering the illustrated book during the last meeting, "Uh...thank you?"

Nyarlathotep snapped his fingers unhurriedly.

A finger-sized ball of light rose in response, illuminating most of the entire room, and it also made him raise his eyebrows.

Come on, Lin You turned off the flashlight, which saved even lighting.

"Do not misunderstand."

Naia said calmly: "I just think this will make things more interesting."

Lin You: "Then I'm really curious about what kind of interesting method it is."

There was only a malicious chuckle echoing in her ears. The evil god, who was accustomed to playing with humans with lies, obviously did not intend to answer her questions. His expression full of interest was filled with two words—you guessed it.

... Riddle God get out of Gotham.

Although he didn't expect him to say it at first, the gratitude just now disappeared completely, and Lin You began to seriously think about another question, whether there is a way for this stool leg to hit him on the head.

"I hope you will live up to my expectations."

Naia, who was still unaware, said: "Anyway, I'm free to come out to take a look, and go back to rest before being discovered. I will count to three, two, and one, and then I will let them go."

Wait, found out?

Lin You, who was still immersed in the feasibility of the last question, suddenly raised her head. The evil god met her gaze and smiled meaningfully, "Three."

"two."

This guy--

Lin You couldn't help but grab the handle behind her. Sure enough, she solved one of the curses that plagued this apartment. How could such a trick be worth it.Accompanied by a light sound, the door lock that had been tightly locked just now was easily unscrewed, and the cool air outside rushed in.

"--one."

The shadow broke free from the shackles, rushed towards the only prey in front of it, gathered and formed in the process, and then——slammed into the door panel that was also closed with lightning speed.

There was no one in the room at this time, except for a gloating laugh in the air.

In the corridor across the door, Lin You, who also heard the muffled sound, was relieved.

At least they didn't seem to be chasing after the door. She turned her head and looked around, but there were no other people around.Although it is not easy to take care of herself in these rounds of survival games, she always feels a little out of harmony now.

Speaking of which, the next line of the nursery rhyme...

—"Eight little Indian boys, go hunting in Devonshire; leave one there, and seven remain of the eight."

She was afraid that she almost became this victim.

Thinking about the words of a certain evil god, Lin You couldn't help but mutter in her heart.Fortunately, Yin Sheng handed her the small flashlight, so she can stroll over slowly now.

However, she couldn't say that she was so comfortable, perhaps because she stayed outside for too long, before she had time to reach the stairwell, she heard the familiar sound of chains in front of her.

Crisp and sweet, which is why it is scary at night.

Not good.

Lin You rolled her eyes.

She returned back the same way without hesitation, and almost the second after her figure disappeared behind the door, the monster wandering in the corridor revealed its true colors.

The tattered strips of cloth fluttered in the air, and the festered soles under them stepped on the ground, and the thick chains wrapped around his body were also dragged behind.The chain and the rusty sickle that was shining with a strange cold light were stained with dried blood, and most of the face covered by the hood slowly turned around, as if judging the perceived Where is the prey hiding?

It walked step by step, and then stopped the body when it was heading in a certain direction.

There was a small gap in the door, as if someone fled in panic and forgot to close it.It walked straight there, its tall body pushing through the half-open door and rushing in to track down the violator.

"Click."

The door was closed from the outside.

Before the monster could turn its head back, it met several pairs of eyes that emerged from the darkness.

Hunter:……

What are you looking at?

The four charred corpses that just crawled out from under the dining table: ...

How are you doing?

Hearing the sound inside that was even more chaotic than not long ago, Lin You guessed that someone had been thrown and flew against the wall.But that was none of her business, she re-closed the door of the apartment next door where she had been hiding, and ran straight for the stairwell.

Even she didn't expect that the plan would be carried out so smoothly, and there would still be people doing this old-fashioned trick in this day and age—ah no, it's because of being fooled, the IQ is almost as good as that of a ghost doll.

However, she didn't expect to be able to trap the other party for a long time, and it was enough to leave a little time difference to escape.

It's a pity that she used her own experience to prove that not every room has residents, like the one she hid in was a rough room, which made Lin You feel a little bit disappointed while being thankful.

What if, what if she could invite another one back to be a guest for tea or something!

She had a clear goal, turned into the stairwell and ran up, went straight to the destination floor and turned right, but unexpectedly almost bumped into the person behind the wall.

"you--?!"

The other party was obviously terrified, and then he came back to his senses, "...Lin You?"

The moment Lin You heard the voice, she took two steps back, raised her eyes, and saw a familiar face.

"Where are Yin Sheng and Zhou Jingjing?" she asked.

"They went to the hall to get the tools. I took a crowbar earlier, so I came back to get it—" Yu Chu pushed his glasses, and added when she saw that she was still in a fog, "We found that the door couldn't be opened. I told you not to respond, so I just wanted to find something to try to save people."

Although... this time delay, the person may have disappeared.

After thinking about it, Lin You had to ask what a certain evil god had done.

"Aren't you hurt?"

He quickly asked, "How did you come out?"

"I'm fine." She replied vaguely, "Just avoid those things and find a way to get out."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Yu Chu nodded, and said eagerly: "Then let's go down and meet up, so that they won't worry any more."

As he spoke, he was about to go downstairs, but when he turned around, he saw Lin You standing there without moving at all.

"Hmm..." Lin You pondered, "I'm thinking about a question."

Yu Chu looked at her inexplicably, "Huh?"

"How do you think we should get through this level?"

"Try to find a way to break the curse of this apartment," the other party stood still and answered her question seriously, "Escape, or survive to the end?"

"There's no way to escape."

She said decisively: "It's okay if it's not 'crushed'. If it's really the setting of contamination, it's over. Simply escaping is not the correct solution."

"Survive to the end, with the premise that everyone is sealed and one person is missing for one night, can it really fight against the 'residents' who are everywhere at night? There is still fighting power inside, maybe it can instantly kill humans Guy," she felt a phantom pain at the thought of the scythe tip glimpsed through the crack of the door, "the winning rate is zero."

"Based on my experience so far, I think the maliciousness of this game... Well, although it is also very strong, it has not reached that level. At least it doesn't want us to win at all."

Lin You looked the man in front of him up and down, "I think, compared to these two kinds of almost impossible conditions, the real clearance conditions of this level may have other mysteries - such as pointing out who is the betrayer in the wolf-sheep game, and then For example, recognize your real identity?"

Yu Chu: "... what?"

"All right, all right," she said, "Stop acting."

"When we first met, I didn't expect you to be so good at acting."

"Nova."

Lin You paused, and then sincerely gave the other party a nickname, "Or 'Yu Big Eye'?"
