I'm afraid of non-human beings

The scene fell into a stalemate for a while.

Larry tightly grasped the swung machete, but after all, a single fist was no match for two hands. Jason managed to break free from its shackles with a little effort, and his whole body stabilized his balance by leaning back. Swinging the knife towards where Lin You was standing.

He failed to do so.

The only thing cut off by the knife was the air. Taking advantage of the gap just now, she turned around and retreated behind SCP-096.She raised her hand, turned her head and saw Geng Qinghe who had fallen to the ground and was still watching the development here in shock, and immediately said: "Don't look back!"

The latter heard her words, and without asking why, immediately followed her instructions without hesitation.Seeing this, Lin You grabbed the wet paper bag on SCP-096's head and lifted it up——

Until just now, SCP-096, which had just followed her numbly, froze.

Its tear-filled eyes opened wide suddenly, and its tightly closed mouth slowly opened, facing the mask full of holes.

Jason: "..."

...?

SCP-096: "..."

Be seen, be seen, be seen, be seen—

SCP-096: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

She grabbed the paper bag only for a moment, and Lin You let go of it in the next second.The heart-piercing screams that could tear people's eardrums reverberated in the corridor in an instant, and the "shy" man who fell into madness waved his two long arms and rushed towards the murderer who was still in a daze.

Facing the monster attacking him, Jason naturally raised his machete to fight back.However, when SCP-096 is in an enraged state, it can ignore the damage of missiles, so what's the matter with a mere machete.

It slapped the insignificant weapon away, and the machete that swung around twice was firmly stuck into the wall and nailed to it.And SCP-096 himself grabbed the only guy present who saw his face, and cried out in disbelief while shaking the other guy's shoulders hard enough to shake his brains out.

Seeing that SCP-096 had already lifted one of Jason's legs, Lin You couldn't bear to look directly and turned around, as if she wasn't the one who did it just now.

She even crossed him meaningfully.

Amen, all the way.

The sound of beating, tearing, and crushing, when all the messy sounds disappeared, Lin You turned around again and looked at the scene of Jason's death again.

……miserable.

In fact, it is not appropriate to describe it as "miserable". After all, this poor Crystal Lake murderer was physically destroyed until there was no flesh and blood left. Maybe it was her illusion. Lin You even felt that the dirty corridor was even worse than before. clean up.

No, there are still some left.

SCP-096 sobbed softly and stood where Jason was just now, with a mask lying at his feet—compared to its owner who had disappeared without a trace, it was actually intact.

I saw SCP-096 cried for a while, then bent down to pick up the mask, wiped it on himself cherishingly, and began to try to put it on his face through the paper bag.

Lin You: "..."

She remembered that it had a soft spot for Jason's mask in the instance of the hut in the woods, but she stopped him when he insisted on wearing it.

Forget it, it's rare for children to like it.

SCP-096 is still busy entertaining himself at the other end. Larry next to him has already "looked" stupid, but it doesn't seem to be disillusioned by it. On the contrary, what Lin You feels from it is only Great appreciation and admiration.

Geng Qinghe, who was forced to drop a sliding shovel, finally got up from the ground, moved his joints with a bitter face, and went to clean up the dirty place at the same time.On the other side, SCP-096, who had played enough, finally found that he couldn't put on the mask anyway, and returned to her side with his hands down in frustration. Lin You thought to himself to find a rubber band for it.

The crisis problem is solved for the time being, and SCP-096 didn't stay any longer. Holding its baby mask, baby paper bag, it went back to the illustration book. Lin You smiled and looked at the card that was probably already in his bag—no, Larry, "Then how do you say?"

It was obviously still reluctant to part, and with a hint of expectation in its nostalgia, it got entangled in fiddling with its long and narrow claws.

The monster longing for a friend flickered in place, leaving only one card on the ground.

Lin You paused, bent down to pick up the card, and couldn't help being deeply moved by this friendship.

——Receive the card, it's that simple.

【Name: Larry】

[Card number: 028]

【Level: R】

[Remarks: Larry, who lives behind the window, is miserable and isolated from others because of his own specialness (really). not a problem!What bad thoughts can a child have?My biggest wish is to have a friend, and my favorite game is throwing a handkerchief. It would be even better if I can turn into a double arrow one day! 】

Lin You: "..."

She recalls SCP-096's behavior.

The road is long and difficult.

After putting away the cards, Lin You looked up at Geng Qinghe who had packed up, before saying "Is it all right", he nodded silently.

... so proficient that it is distressing.

However, speaking of...

She walked over there, squatted down near the place where Geng Qinghe slipped and fell, and twisted a thin thread that was as long as an arm from the corner of the wall.

Geng Qinghe was stunned as soon as he approached, "...what is this?"

"I don't know," Lin You shook his head frankly, watching it shimmer under the dim light, "it feels weird in the hand."

She just noticed it when she looked at it, and felt its soft texture as soon as she touched it, more like the hair of some kind of creature than a string.If just a single hair has grown to this extent, then its body shape——

Geng Qinghe stood up resolutely, and burst out like a cannonball: "Sister You, let's go downstairs first."

Lin You silently looked down at his trembling legs.

She just pretended not to realize that this was controlling herself and don't think about it.

They easily found the drawbridge leading to another building. There was such a commotion just now, but the road was unexpectedly peaceful.The number hanging in the sky now shows 82, and it seems that it has temporarily stopped floating up and down, and it will only slide down by one or two units after a long or short period of time.

"Sister You," Geng Qinghe said uncertainly, "Is this...?"

Lin You said "ah".

"The screening should be over." She guessed.

In other words, from now on, every reduction in the number of people means that the possibility of winning is reduced by another point.

The vision suddenly became bright again, which made people uncomfortable for a while. The corridor they walked in was covered with a soft red carpet, and there were signs with room numbers on the mahogany doors. I bought a cart full of cleaning tools, like a hotel layout.

"I suddenly feel a little nostalgic." Geng Qinghe couldn't help muttering.

"That's right," Lin You replied casually, "After all, we also met in the hotel at that time, maybe this time we can also—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly because of the two figures appearing on the stairs directly opposite.

... What do you mean Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

The other party also noticed them, "Huh... Sister You? Geng Qinghe?"

Another person followed suit.

"It's you guys." An Yuchen's gaze paused on Geng Qinghe, "Who is this?"

"The companion who passed two levels together before." Lin You smiled and shrugged, and asked him to introduce himself. "It's reasonable and unexpected to meet here? It's going well with you, right?"

"Fortunately."

Yin Sheng coughed, probably due to the lack of acquaintance, and the two people who acted together also kept a distance, "We both pushed out around the same day during the day, and it turned out to be in the adjacent area. Dong Lou met, and as soon as I heard that said on the radio, I hurried to walk as fast as I could."

Lin You nodded thoughtfully. It sounds like the time flow rate has been adjusted for different levels—compared with those who went straight ahead, it took her a lot of time even to collect the cards.

"It's not just because of that."

An Yuchen also listened to their conversation, and interrupted after hearing the words: "Do you want to take a look?"

Naturally, they couldn't see anything in the corridor, so they found a room with a window facing just right under her guidance.Lin You took the telescope from An Yuchen, looked at the tallest skyscraper through the lens tube, and understood what the other party was referring to.

Just like the tens figure floating in the sky, near the top of the building, there is also a faintly visible line of numbers engraved—it looks like a countdown.

It's just that it's too far away and the building is too high to see without the help of a telescope.It is decreasing by the minute and second, and now it shows four hours, 32 minutes and 15 seconds.

Lin You: "The radio only asks to reach the highest point..."

An Yuchen said "hmm": "It's the same as the last level."

In fact, it's a little simpler than it was then. After all, this time the emphasis is on the most important rules. As for the hidden time limit, it's up to you to discover it yourself.

But if the countdown refers to the limited clearance time, such a long distance, even if you go directly to that side, you may not be able to do it without counting the time delayed by monsters halfway.

—She has a bold idea.

Lin You was about to speak, but the movement of moving the telescope down suddenly stopped.

From this direction, they could just see the bridge they had come over, and the reanimated killer changed his new weapon and staggered gloomily towards this end of the suspension bridge.

Lin You: "..."

This guy is too lingering, right? !

Also, is this mask mass produced?

"Wait a minute," she said, "I'll take care of the trouble I caused, and you just stay here."

The CD that was accumulated until the next card draw just turned better, and this time it was really cleared to zero. Unlike the other two, An Yuchen, who had never seen her ability before, looked in shock at the figure that suddenly appeared in the room .

"Hey," Pennywise put his hips on his hips in a displeasure and lack of confidence, his fangs sticking out of his mouth, "what did you ask me to come out for?"

"Do your old job."

Lin You waved her hand, "Go to the door and wait, I will open the door after I say."

The clown sneered: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Lin You: "Don't dare, I just remembered that this is a hotel, and the hotel kitchen should have all kinds of seasonings such as mustard and pepper."

She said "Oh" again: "Anyway, it's not a place within common sense, maybe there are even dragon's breath peppers."

The dancing clown suddenly faltered.

"...What changed?" He asked humbly.

"You choose first, what is scary becomes what it is." After the first two encounters, she understood the need to act first, adjusted the binoculars and continued to observe Jason's actions, "Try to see if you can scare me, wait Let’s meet again—”

The room suddenly fell into a strange silence. She looked sideways, and everyone was stupefied with hesitant to speak.

Lin You turned her head inexplicably.

Standing by the door seemed to be another smiling girl holding a picture book.

Lin You: ...

Lin You:? ? ? ? ?
