Gamers Are Fierce

[The first phase mission goal has been completed]

[The second phase mission goal: explore the first floor of the house, find a way to the second floor, and survive]

The system prompt sounded in my ears belatedly.

Li Ang's eyelids twitched, Exploring the house and surviving means that there are dangerous factors that are fatal enough in the house, and there may be more than one?

With my hands free and holding a heavy piece of metal, the average serial killer is no longer a fatal threat.

I can have the system remind me to pay attention to the risk factors for survival,

There are only two kinds.

A real-life murderer,

As well as the weird and evil spirits.

The former such as Jason and Michael Myers,

The latter such as Freddy, Kayako, Annabelle

Of course, it is also possible that the house itself is a trap...

Li Ang was thinking about it. He walked forward and found that there were some traces of dried water droplets on the metal door handle of the wooden door in front of him. The traces took a long time to form.

And there is a faint scent of modern detergent in the room.

It should be the bathroom in the house.

Li Ang held the thick metal lock body with his left hand, gently held the door handle with his right hand, and pressed down.

The door handle moves down, but the door does not open.

Locked from the inside?

Li Ang's heart sank, and he quietly took out key A from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole of the wooden door.

The lock cylinder of the wooden door is also straight-shaped, but the size and tooth shape are different from those of the A key, and the key cannot be turned inside.

Meow~

A lazy and pleasant meow came from the bathroom, and it sounded a little vague through the wooden door.

Immediately afterwards, there was a muddy sound like chewing and swallowing.

Got a cat?

Eating in the toilet?

A lot of fragmentary scenes immediately popped up in the memory palace in Li Ang's mind.

What man yelled Oli, do it! in the toilet,

Nick Fury, the black director of S.H.I.E.L.D. wearing an eyepatch and yelling, Fury is a control, right?

The otaku who shouted Change!...

Wait, what is in my mind?

Li Ang shook his head, putting the messy scene behind him, and pushed the bathroom door very slightly, but failed.

After confirming that he could not open the door quietly, Li Ang directly took out the A key and took half a step back without disturbing the cat inside.

While studying the wooden door of the bathroom, he kept paying attention to the sounds coming from the direction of the dining room and living room.

The TV set there seemed to have some malfunction and kept making a rustling noise.

And this rustling sound is intermittent,

It's like someone is constantly pressing the button on the remote control.

It seems that I want to fix the TV by changing the channel.

It was confirmed that there was someone in the direction of the living room.

The most urgent task is to figure out where this place is and find a weapon that can defend itself.

Li Ang took steps quietly and walked along the left side of the corridor. There was a landscape pothos plant at the corner of the corridor. It was growing in pretty good condition. The surface of the soil was wet. It had at least been sprayed with mist today.

Turning the corner, Li Ang saw the back door of the house and the side hall.

The back door of the house is wooden, white, with a round door handle,

It's locked and cannot be opened with key A.

On the lower part of the wooden door, there is a square pet door with a translucent hard plastic curtain hanging on it. Some families in Europe and the United States will deliberately open a small door on the door so that the pet can come back after a walk.

Li Ang squatted down and checked.

The pet door is small and can only allow cats and small and medium-sized dogs to pass through.

At the bottom of the door, there are still some cat hairs that are black on top and white on the bottom. It may be the one in the bathroom.

He reached out to touch the hard plastic curtain of the pet door, only to find that the plastic curtain seemed to be welded to the space and was motionless.

At the same time, a prompt from the system [cannot be opened] appeared in my sight.

Not allowed to pass?

Li Ang raised his eyebrows,

He doesn't know how to shrink his bones, so he can't get through such a small door.

The system prompt that it cannot be opened means that he is not allowed to use metal wire or something to pass through the pet door and pull the wooden door open from the outside, so as to escape directly from the house.

Fine.

Li Ang stood up from the ground and looked at the side hall next to the back door.

The floor of the side hall is covered with carpets, and there are several low cloth chairs of different colors, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows with white curtains.

Li Ang walked forward and gently lifted a corner of the white curtain, only to see that the floor-to-ceiling glass window was tightly closed.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw the full moon hanging high in the sky and the stars dotted there.

Outside is the backyard of a standard American mid- to high-end residential complex, with well-kept lawns, trees, and hedgerows adjacent to the neighbors.

There is also a handmade swing hanging on the big tree branch in the backyard.

It was late at night,

I don't know if the sound insulation effect of the floor-to-ceiling windows is too strong, but Li Ang can't hear any sounds outside, including the chirping of insects and birds, or the sound of vehicles driving in the distance.

The lights of other community houses outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are basically off, and only a few houses have bright lights.

In front of some houses, there are SUVs or cars parked, including many luxury cars.

It looks like a very ordinary American mid- to high-end community.

Li Ang lightly tapped the floor-to-ceiling window with his knuckles, feeling like he was tapping a piece of steel. The words Cannot Open also appeared in his sight, reminding him that he could not pass.

Well, what about other places?

Li Ang turned around and looked at the side hall.

This place is obviously used by the owner's family to rest and relax. There is a clock hanging on the wall, which shows that it is currently 1:02 am.

There is a huge bookcase placed against the wall.

There are all kinds of books on the bookcases, including but not limited to the Bible, economics, philosophy, psychology, popular novels, etc.

There are some hair balls on the surface of the cloth chair, showing signs of frequent use.

There is an English anthology of Hanshan's poems placed on the surface of one of the chairs. When opened, only the first few pages contain content, and the rest are blank.

The same goes for many of the books on the bookcase.

Only some popular novels and comic books can have a few more pages with content.

In addition to various books, there are also some children's toys on the bookshelf.

Toy trucks, Lego blocks, anime character figurines, Barbie dolls, baseball gloves and baseball hats for children.

It seems that this family has at least one pair of young sons and daughters.

Li Ang glanced at these toys and picked up a photo frame on the bookshelf.

There was a photo in the frame, showing a family of four standing in front of the house.

The wife is dignified and elegant, the husband is handsome, and the children look very cute. All four of them have blond hair.

Wait, blonde?

Li Ang frowned, reached out and gently pulled out one or two hairs from his head.

He was very sure that in his sight, his hair with bangs was black.

However, after the hair was pulled out, it instantly turned blond - proving that the role he played in the script task was blond.

Am I the man of this family?

Wearing a high-end suit and earning a lot of money, he really looks like he can buy a house in this high-end neighborhood.

But why was ‘I’ locked up in the utility room?

Where have ‘my’ wives and children gone?

Li Ang's mind raced and he thought quickly: Could it be that 'I' was caught cheating on my family? Or maybe a robber broke into this house?

He put the photo frame into his suit pocket and continued walking forward.

In front of the side hall is a white wooden door, which also cannot be opened.

By observing other houses in the community, Li Ang confirmed that the garage behind the white wooden door was connected to the house.

And when he tried to open the garage door, there was no system prompt in his sight - this meant that the garage door could be opened, but there was currently no corresponding method.

The garage door can't be accessed yet...

Li Ang thought for a moment. Standing here, he could faintly hear the rustling noise of the TV set coming from the direction of the living room, and there was no sound of footsteps.

If we take the utility room where Li Ang came out as the center,

To the left of the utility room are the side hall, bathroom and garage.

These three places have been explored, and the restrooms and garage are temporarily inaccessible.

Li Ang squatted on the ground, his back pressed against the wall at the corner of the side hall corridor, took out the photo frame from his pocket, and slowly popped it out of the corner.

Through the reflection on the surface of the photo frame, Li Ang saw a corner of the living room - a large sofa was placed there, and a small sofa was placed to the left of the large sofa.

Behind the living room, there is a corridor extending upwards, which seems to lead to the second floor.

But if you want to pass there, you will definitely be seen by the person on the sofa in the living room.

There seems to be no other way...

Li Ang frowned and thought for a moment, then turned back to the side hall and picked up a children's baseball bat placed next to the bookcase.

This baseball bat is made of wood and is a bit light.

But it is better than nothing.

He picked up the baseball bat, returned to the right corridor where the utility room was, squatted down, pressed against the corridor wall, and entered the open kitchen.

Then he took a meat cleaver from the kitchen.

Li Ang has a baseball bat in his left hand and a meat cleaver in his right hand.

He entered the dining room quietly, pressed against the wall of the dining room, and looked toward the living room.

From this angle, he finally saw the scene in the living room clearly.

There is a low coffee table, one large, two small and three sofas in the living room.

The back of the big sofa was covered with a white blanket, and next to the two small sofas, there were standing lamps.

Directly opposite the sofa set is a vertical large-screen TV, which is full of snowflake noise.

no one?

Li Ang frowned, held the meat cleaver tightly in his palm, bent over, and moved toward the living room against the darkness.

Zhila!

Almost the moment Li Ang reached the back of the sofa and squatted down to hide, the TV returned to normal.

A black-haired white man in a suit appeared on the screen.

With a magnetic voice, the news was broadcast, ...the wildfire that broke out in the town of Paradise in Butte County, northern California, has become the most destructive fire in California history...

So far, the fire area has exceeded 150,000 acres, 85 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 1,500 people are missing. Many of the missing people are elderly people over 65 years old.

More than 12,000 buildings were burned.

The town of Paradise, which was closest to the source of the fire and had a population of only 27,000, was almost burned to rubble.

On the afternoon of November 9, the President declared a state of emergency in California and ordered federal departments to assist local authorities in California in responding to wildfires. Any looting during the fires must be dealt with seriously. Arrest immediately

According to the findings of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, the wildfire was probably caused by power lines in the mountain forest...

The sudden sound of the TV broadcast made Li Ang's heart skip a beat.

In the real world, serious wildfires did occur in northern California, the United States, in November 2018.

Could it be that this script task is based on the real world?

Or does this script mission take place in the real world?

Li Ang quietly performed a trick with the kitchen cleaver. The California wildfires occurred around the time when this year's killing game officially started.

Theoretically, it is possible that it may be involved in the killing game, but it is not 100% certain.

He was about to further listen to the news broadcast on the TV when he heard an extremely clear sound of button pressing coming from the sofa next to him.

Afterwards, the news broadcast on the TV immediately changed the channel and played a singing and dancing talent show.

Um? !

Li Ang's pupils shrank. He didn't see anyone on the sofa in the restaurant just now.

Unless the person was too short and lying on the sofa, Li Ang couldn't see him from the restaurant's angle.

Is it the son or daughter of this family?

Just as Li Ang was thinking and hesitating,

The sound of pressing the buttons on the TV remote control came from the sofa again.

TV screen, also from song and dance show,

It changed to the news program of another local station, ...Today, a serious car accident occurred in Carmel Town. A Chevrolet SUV accidentally lost control while driving and hit a motorcycle...

Then, it quickly cut to a cartoon - the voice in the cartoon was very distinctive. It was obviously the particularly long-lived animated sitcom The Simpsons produced by Fox Television Station in the United States, and it was still playing the seventh episode of the cartoon. Eight episodes.

After cutting to the Simpsons family, the TV stopped cutting the screen and continued playing without any changes.
