Escape by falling in love in a horror game
Chapter 19
The old gate, in the morning light, the dilapidated homestay gradually disappeared in place, as if it had never appeared.
Lu Xi rested for a whole day to recharge his batteries. In order to ensure that there was enough time, he set off 2 hours earlier. He stood in front of the stone tablet of the Jing's mansion at the head of Xiaomuqiao, staring at the time on his phone without blinking.
At 23:59, the fog on the opposite side of the wooden bridge began to thicken, and soon the dark clouds in the forest gathered into pieces, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and heavy rain fell in the forest. Everything was exactly the same as the night when Lu Xi first came here .
Seeing a flash of lightning illuminate the stele in front of him, Lu Xi stretched out his hand to touch the handwriting covered by paint, with a relieved smile on his lips.
It's finally time for it to end.
At 24 o'clock, in the humid fog, the outline of an ancient castle quickly appeared, and the lights lit up in the lattice windows were like the pupils of monsters dormant in the dark.
Lu Xi walked to the door, pushed it open hard, and ran up the escalator on the second floor. The lights in the restaurant were on as always. When Lu Xi rushed in, everyone at the table was stunned.
Jingcheng looked back at Lu Xi who rushed in: "Zhihan? Xiaotang said that you suddenly left overnight for something, why did you come back?"
Seeing Jingtang's astonished expression, Lu Xi gave a strange smile, and said to Jingcheng: "Jingcheng, you stinky brother, you really deserve a good beating."
After finishing speaking, he walked up to Jingtang: "Do you want to talk to me alone, or do you want me to speak out here in public?"
Jingtang looked at him with a trace of complexity in his eyes, and rolled the wheelchair outside, "Go to the bedroom."
The two entered the room, and the door slammed shut behind them.
Jingtang: "How did you find this place?"
Lu Xi leaned down from behind the wheelchair and wrapped her arms around Jingtang's neck, lying next to his ear: "Didn't you tell me the seventh day of next month? Why, you don't want to see me so much? Well, I'm here to say my last farewell , we probably won’t meet again in the future. How about it, are you happy?”
Jingtang felt cold all over her body, her eyes froze, she turned her head to look at Lu Xi who was behind her, and slowly opened her lips: "Don't come back after you leave."
Lu Xi smiled: "Naturally."
Jingtang's eyelashes trembled, and she was about to shake off Lu Xi's hand around her neck, but Lu Xi hugged her even tighter, "But I have to say a few last words to you before I leave."
Jingtang: "I don't listen."
Lu Xi bit his earlobe and said vaguely: "You must listen!"
Seeing that the bitten person gradually lost his voice, Lu Xi let go of his mouth, and found that the bitten earlobe had turned red into a small tomato, and even the root of the owner's neck was burning brightly.
It is white and rosy, beautiful and delicious.
Lu Xi coughed dryly, and let go of Jingtang's arm: "I know that your feelings for the capital far exceed your own life, and you even give up your own life, and stay here with him forever, no matter you are brothers and sisters for the capital , or something else, I admire you for this. But have you ever thought that he also has his own place in the capital, and you have kept their souls in the mansion, repeating the same life over and over again. You have your thoughts , Jingcheng also has his ideas, and Uncle Zhong and the others are the same, Jingtang, you shouldn't be selfish."
Jingtang looked cold: "This is none of your business."
Lu Xi sneered: "I like you, and that's none of my business."
Jingtang's eyes trembled, and she looked at the corners of Lu Xi's mouth.
Lu Xi: "Death is the end of life, but not the end of feelings. As long as you have him in your heart, Beijing will never leave." Lu Xi stretched and pressed Jingtang's chest close to his heart: "He will always be here, forever Walk with you."
In the darkness, everything was terribly quiet. Seeing Jingtang's indifferent expression and not responding all the time, Lu Xi took a deep breath: "This is the first time I say these words, and it will also be the last time. Well, I won't bother you anymore." He turned to Jingtang Smiling, walked to the door and waved his back to him: "Goodbye Xiaotang."
The moment Lu Xi pushed open the door, Jingtang suddenly clapped her hands, and the black cat curled up under the bed came out with a meow, and ran to Jingtang's feet, the bell on its neck jingling.
Jingtang patted the cat's head, "Little Mei, take him to the attic."
19, 19
The black cat obeyed Jingtang's order, and jumped to Lu Xi's feet. Its green eyes glanced at him, with the aloofness inherent in felines.
"Meow~"
Seeing the black cat slipping out through the open door, Lu Xi hurriedly followed, walked to the door and glanced at Jingtang behind him.
Jingtang: "I won't go."
Seeing Jingtang turn the wheelchair and turn his back to him, his back looks extraordinarily lonely in the dark room, Lu Xi thought the same, it would be too cruel to ask him to bid farewell to the capital himself, so he nodded: "Then you wait here for me."
Following the black cat, he left the room and walked up to the attic. The lock on the black door was still hanging on the latch. The black cat squatted at Lu Xi's feet, grabbed his trousers with its paws and started meowing. Only then did Lu Xi notice, The bell on the black cat's neck turned out to be a key.
He squatted down, untied the key from the cat's neck, inserted it into the keyhole, and with a click, the black door slowly opened from the inside...
Lu Xi pushed open the door, and with the creaking sound of the door opening, her heart clenched tightly in her chest. Every time she approached this door before, she would have horrible illusions. This was also the first scene of the fire four years ago. Lu Xi subconsciously thought that this must be the scariest place in the whole mansion.
But when he touched the switch behind the door to light up the whole room, everything in front of him was completely opposite to what he had imagined.
The place is spacious and bright, with clear windows and neat bookcases covering the four walls. One bookcase is full of photos of the Jing family, from the black and white photos of the grandparents to the last family photo of the Jing family below.
The strange thing is that Jingtang is the only one missing from all the family portraits. Lu Xi searched from the first one to the last one, but still couldn't find him.
In the photo album in the desk drawer, I found a photo of Jingcheng and Jingtang together.In the photo, Jingtang looked only seven or eight years old, with Jingcheng hugging her shoulders, her cute little face was full of displeasure, and the other small hand was pushing and shoving Jingcheng, as if expressing dissatisfaction with Jingcheng's intimacy.
Seeing this Lu Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing, it turns out that Brother Jiang was not liked by Xiao Bingjiao from the beginning, or is it because Jingtang is so awkward no matter who he likes?
Just as Lu Xi was about to take out the photo and take a closer look, the wall clock behind her suddenly rang.
The sound of the thumping bell was particularly ethereal in the huge attic, echoing faintly as it hit the surrounding walls.
Lu Xi turned around and looked at the wall clock sounding on the opposite side, only to find that the clock was not hung on the wall, but embedded in the wall as a whole. The sandalwood cover, which was three feet wide and six feet long, was fastened to the wall. It is carved out of the stone wall behind it, and the rotating shaft that fixes the pointer is a piece of bright red jade, which vibrates slightly as the pointer rotates.
"Boom-"
The last bell rang, and the three pointers pointed to twelve at the same time. Suddenly, everything in front of me seemed to be still. The photos that were moved by Lu Xi just now were all automatically moved back to their original positions. Even the black cat under her feet suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes. .
Following the sound of footsteps, Jing Cheng and the butler walked in from the door, but neither of them seemed to notice Lu Xi's existence.
After entering the door, they began to discuss tomorrow's itinerary. Soon, a puff of black smoke came in through the crack of the door. Before the two could escape, there was a deafening explosion in the corridor. When the housekeeper opened the door, the fire in the corridor had already burned. Outside the door, sparks quickly burned the carpet in the attic, billowing thick smoke in the attic.
The butler wanted to remove the closet and send Jingcheng out of the window, but the second explosion happened again, directly blowing through the entire floor of the attic, and Jingcheng and the butler were completely submerged in the raging flames.
Lu Xi stood at the window and heard a man and woman arguing downstairs. He moved the bookcase and saw a maid pulling a man in a jacket.
Maid: "You set the fire? Ah Wei, why did you do that!"
The man pushed her away impatiently, desperately trying to run out: "You know what!" He held up a ruby with a hand with only four fingers: "If you don't replace the gambling debt, you will see them take all of my money. Chop off all your fingers! Let’s sell this jewel, not only can we pay off our gambling debts, but we will also have enough money for our marriage. All the evidence has been destroyed by fire, and the police can’t find me even if they want to find me!”
The maid looked at the man's grinning face in disbelief, and gradually burst into tears: "No, Wei, I've already called the police. You stay here and surrender to me. You can't go wrong anymore..."
The man was furious, grabbed the maid by the hair and kicked her to the ground, "Go away! If you want to go to jail, you are a crazy woman!"
The moment the man ran out of the gate, the window on the second floor was shattered with a loud bang, and then a black shadow fell from the second floor, smashing straight in front of the maid.
Seeing that after Jingtang fell to the ground, a large amount of blood flowed out from under her body, against the background of the earth, like a poppy flower blooming on a black curtain, Lu Xi's throat tightened for a while, although she knew that all this was just a reproduction of what happened four years ago However, he still couldn't help but stare at Jingtang's falling back, his eyes became sore and his vision became clouded.
The maid looked at Jingtang who fell in front of her and screamed frantically. After a while, she staggered and ran under a tree, threw her belt on the branch and tied it in a knot, put it on her neck, and soon both The arm hangs stiffly without struggling.
Lu Xi saw a white light radiating from Jingtang's body, and then the car parked in the courtyard suddenly started by itself and rushed out towards the gate of the mansion.
Now the second and third mission card puzzles are solved.
Jingtang was the only survivor in the mansion.
Lu Xi rested for a whole day to recharge his batteries. In order to ensure that there was enough time, he set off 2 hours earlier. He stood in front of the stone tablet of the Jing's mansion at the head of Xiaomuqiao, staring at the time on his phone without blinking.
