1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

076 stood in front of Qi Road, quietly raised his head first, and watched through the crack of the door.

Zhang Xiaomei was sitting by the fire, crying.

076 looked down and saw her shadow.The shadow reflected by the flames in the fire, she should be a normal person.

"crunch-"

076 took a step forward and pushed open the kitchen door.

When Zhang Xiaomei heard the voice, she immediately wiped away her tears, turned her head and looked at the kitchen door.Then see them.

"You...are you not full tonight?" Zhang Xiaomei said, her voice was hoarse and timid.

Qi Lu answered her with an "um".

Then, Qi Lu's gaze swept around the kitchen.

Dilapidated and dilapidated, there is almost no food except for the leftovers from the evening.The wooden door inside was locked, and it seemed that Zhang Xiaomei didn't have a key either.

Qi Lu looked away and asked her: "Xiaomei, aren't you going to sleep?"

Zhang Xiaomei shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, just watch the fire here, don't let the fire go out."

After answering these questions, Zhang Xiaomei immediately got up and asked them, "Are you hungry after coming out so late? Shall I make you a hot dinner?"

"No need, no need." Qi Lu quickly stopped her.

Zhang Xiaomei is the key figure in "Red Affair", Qi Lu immediately forgot about his hunger, so he found a stool and sat down next to Zhang Xiaomei, planning to collect more news.

Qi Lu casually said nonsense: "Xiaomei, you and your father are the only ones in your family? Where are the others?"

Zhang Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Yes, I am a child picked up by my father, and there are only me and my father at home."

Qi Lu understood, and did not continue this topic.

He turned to ask other questions: "You are going to get married in a few days, and Zhang Yuanwai also arranged for you?"

"...Well." Zhang Xiaomei replied hesitantly, and after a while, she took the initiative to say: "I married in the past, the family conditions will be better, and my father's life will be better in the future."

Qi Lu nodded, Zhang Xiaomei's words sounded very normal, he couldn't fault it.

076's eyes scanned the kitchen, and finally fixed on the locked back room.

"Xiaomei, do you do everything at home?" 076 asked.

Zhang Xiaomei nodded, then quickly shook her head: "Not all, I do most of the work at home, except cooking."

"Cook?"

Qi Lu suddenly thought that in the evening, it seems that Zhang Yuanwai is indeed cooking, but Zhang Yuanwai's cooking is not delicious.

Combined with Zhang Yuanwai's family situation, there is only one guess——

The family's food is firmly in Zhang Yuanwai's own hands.

Even Zhang Xiaomei can't touch her too much.

It's not good for Qi Lu and 076 to stay here any more after getting all this useful information, so they can only leave the kitchen temporarily.

They first went back to the room with only the straw piles. They could only go hungry for the trip at night, and waited until the next day to look outside to see if there was anything else to eat.

Qi Lu lay on 076's clothes and slept, while 076 half sat beside him, closing his eyes and dozing off.Not long after it became quiet, there was a sudden rustling sound from the yard outside.

Because there is thick snow outside, this sound is very similar to the feeling of someone stepping on it vigorously, step by step, and it is not alone.

Qi Lu woke up immediately, there was no window in the room, so he hurried to the door.

076 has exposed a small gap at the door of the room, and they can see the outside through this——

Qiao Lu, Zhang Kun and Li Yangfan, the three of them, were shuffling, with their hands raised, walking out step by step.

"This……"

Just as Qi Lu was about to speak, 076 covered his mouth with his hand, and then there was an extremely slight "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in his ear, and 076 didn't let him speak easily.

Qi Lu could only keep his eyes open and continue to look out.

Outside, Zhang Xiaomei was dressed in red, standing at the gate of the yard.The wind and snow were so heavy that she couldn't see her expression clearly, but could only vaguely see some of her stiff and strange movements.

Zhang Xiaomei was waving, waving at Qiao Lu and the others.

Suddenly, with a sound of "teng", a burst of red flames more than two meters high appeared out of thin air behind Zhang Xiaomei——

No combustibles.It was empty beneath the flames, with no firewood or other fuel.

Qi Lu's eyes opened even wider.

And Qiao Lu, Zhang Kun, and Li Yangfan, as if they didn't see it, still followed suit and rushed towards the flame behind Zhang Xiaomei.

Qi Lu instinctively wanted to struggle to save others, but he was hugged by 076's hands, unable to move at all.

"You don't want to die?" 076's breathy voice rang in his ears.

Qi Lu pointed to the outside, although Qiao Lu and the three of them are currently unknown, and even ordinary people or AI cannot be sure, but Qi Lu still instinctively wants to save people.

076 took a deep breath, let go, and looked back at Qi Lu: "Next time, if you have any adventures, you must tell me first."

After finishing speaking, 076 didn't wait for Qi Lu's reply, he just pushed open one of the wooden doors, took a handful of snow from the ground, mixed it with stones everywhere in the yard, wrapped it in the snowball, and then sent it to Zhang Kun with great precision. Throw it at the neck.

Whoosh—it hit Zhang Kun's neck.The stone-covered snowball is hard and cold, and when it touches the warm neck, it feels extremely exciting.Almost instantly, Zhang Kun was awakened.

Zhang Kun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was in the dungeon, and he came out of the room in the middle of the night.And there was a fiery red will-o'-the-wisp in front of him, and Zhang Xiaomei in a red dress.

Zhang Xiaomei's eyes were empty and dull, she only keenly felt that someone was out of her control, and then looked at Zhang Kun numbly.

Zhang Kun was sober and frightened, and was about to yell out immediately.

Immediately afterwards, 076 moved even faster, and directly threw the other two snowballs, hitting Qiao Lu and Li Yangfan directly.Qiao Lu and Li Yangfan also woke up instantly, surprised and frightened.

The flames behind Zhang Xiaomei were much shorter, and then, Zhang Xiaomei seemed to have sensed that someone had ruined her good deed, and her eyes were rolling around, scanning every corner of the yard.

076 quickly ran to his room, not forgetting to remind a few people who just woke up and were still a bit silly——

"Why are you standing there? Waiting to die?"

076 went back to his room, stood in front of Qi Lu, the door was not closed, he continued to stare at the three people outside.

After Qiao Lu and the others heard what 076 said, no matter how scared they were, they knew how to hide, and immediately ran to their room.The action was so fast that Zhang Xiaomei didn't even have time to react.

When Zhang Xiaomei reacted, there was a final "creak" in Li Yangfan's room, and the door closed.There was no one in the yard.

The moment the flame behind Zhang Xiaomei "jumped", the tongue of the flame was raised very high, as if angry.

Tap, tap, tap... Zhang Xiaomei stepped on the snow step by step, creaking.She seemed to already know that all of them lived in three straw houses side by side, and dragged their feet, wandering at the door of their rooms step by step.

Behind her was the fiery red flame.

Qi Lu was lying on the crack of the door, his heart was almost in his throat, he looked up at 076, and said with a very slight mouth: "What should we do?"

076 was puzzled for a moment, as if he couldn't understand his lips at all.

But now that "Zhang Xiaomei" was outside the door, they didn't even dare to exhale loudly, let alone speak.

076 stretched out his right palm and handed it to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu stared for a second, and quickly understood what 076 meant.He caught 076's right palm with his left hand, then stretched out his right hand, and wrote on 076's palm with his index finger——

【what should we do】

076 took his right hand, and simply replied with one word, 【wait】.

Qi Lu did as he did, fearing that Zhang Xiaomei would approach suddenly, he put two bolts on the door, and then sat on the pile of straw. Now he is not hungry or sleepy, but he is not energetic, just afraid to sleep.

Zhang Xiaomei wandered around the yard twice, then stopped at Qiao Lu's door, suddenly raised her hand, and slapped the wooden door very vigorously.

"Clap clap! clap clap!"

Zhang Xiaomei seemed to be very powerful, and she didn't feel tired of knocking on the door. After a while, the listeners felt panicked and tensed.

Qiao Lu is like this.It was as if her heart was being grabbed by someone's hand. Hearing knocks on the door, she realized that Zhang Xiaomei in red was just outside the door, and she dared not relax.

At that time in the yard, she was the closest to Zhang Xiaomei, and she clearly saw Zhang Xiaomei's face.Dull, pale, and numb, she looked like a dead person, but Zhang Xiaomei was still wearing a red dress, scarlet like blood.

She was almost too frightened to move. If the twin brother Xu Heng hadn't thrown him a snowball, she might have... Qiao Lu didn't even dare to think about it.

"Papapa! Papapa!" The knock on the door became more urgent, and it seemed that the people outside could no longer bear it.

Qiao Lu really regretted it a bit.Why is she the only one living alone?Now the ghost must be after her? !

Qiao Lu was half remorseful, half afraid, walking around the room, back and forth.Trying to make yourself a little easier and less intimidated this way.

Still thinking about countermeasures.

Today is the first day of entering the dungeon, everyone is not clear about the rules, and no one knows what to do.

Qiao Lu comforted herself, that Zhang Xiaomei was only knocking on the door, as if Zhang Xiaomei couldn't get in this room, so as long as she didn't go out easily, she should be fine.

Thinking of this, Qiao Lu let out a sigh of relief.Then he thought of the other four boys in the same team, who didn't take any responsibility at all, and didn't even say to help her find a way.

While Qiao Lu was thinking wildly to comfort herself, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped, leaving only the "creaking" sound of stepping on the snow.

Qiao Lu couldn't help being overjoyed, and wanted to go out to see if Zhang Xiaomei had left.

But he was also afraid that there would be danger, and that Zhang Xiaomei would kill him.

Qiao Lu could only bear with it, pretending that she had already fallen asleep, and gave up the thought of going out to have a look.It also prevents Zhang Xiaomei from sitting outside and waiting for rabbits.

Qiao Lu sat on the pile of straw, feeling uneasy.I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the wind became quieter, and the sound of stepping on the snow outside was gone.On this day, Qiao Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear of being knocked on the door by Zhang Xiaomei lessened a little.

Qiao Lu stood up, walked quietly to the door, and loosened the latch, revealing a small crack, wanting to see if Zhang Xiaomei was still in the yard outside.

Just as Qiao Lu leaned against the door, the next second, a cloudy and ugly eyeball was right in front of her.

"what--"

Ear-piercing screams resounded through the night, and Zhang Xiaomei kept guard at Qiao Lu's door.
