Gamers Are Fierce

The mechanism in the secret box is triggered according to the direction, not the specific longitude and latitude.

Li Ang picked up the wooden box and the compass together and walked quickly to the right side of the living room, The box is a witness to the first encounter...

This sentence seems to imply that the contents of the box are related to the love of the box maker.

Did they meet each other because of this compass?

But if that's the case, why does the compass have no cover?

Could it be that the maker of the secret box deliberately destroyed the love token? Is this necessary?

Li Ang thought about it, came to the door, and gently put the compass into the circular groove on the door frame.

Click.

The compass fit snugly into the circular groove, and the wooden door opened, revealing a corridor extending downward.

The lights in the corridor seemed to be voice-activated. As soon as Li Ang's leather boots stepped on the corridor steps, the lights came on.

Li Ang stroked the wall, walked down, and came to a basement.

The walls and ceiling of this room are covered with noise-absorbing corrugated foam boards, and the floor is covered with solid wood floors.

On the wooden platform shelves on both sides of the room wall, there are large and small rectangular glass cabinets. The cabinets are covered with black cloth, and various dolls and toys are placed on the cloth.

There are male and female dolls, and the materials are different, including wood, ceramics, plastic, and rubber.

The production styles are also different, ranging from delicate and real-life ones to anime-style ones with big eyes and round heads.

These dolls have different shapes, sitting or standing,

In some cabinets, there are even wardrobes and small houses for these dolls.

The entire room is a luxurious collection of dolls and toys.

Li Ang glanced at it. He only knew a little bit about the doll circle, but no matter how you looked at it, purchasing and collecting these huge numbers of dolls required a lot of money and energy.

Such a huge collection project cannot be completed in a short time.

Li Ang said silently: These doll collections are most likely not for the daughters of the family.

It's the personal hobbies of the hostess or the male owner of this house.

His gaze went beyond the dolls in the display cabinet and stayed on the display cabinet itself.

The bottoms of all exhibition cabinets in the room are inlaid with metal round holes.

Lock it with the same padlock as Li Ang's hand.

The difference is that there are no keys tied to the padlocks of these exhibition cabinets.

Li Ang tried to use the A key of his own padlock to open these exhibition cabinets, but failed even once.

“Like the original padlock, the A key is the perfect size for the padlocks on these display cabinets, it just won’t open.

In other words, all the padlocks in the room are from the same series, but have different internal tooth shapes.

From a collection point of view, this is too much trouble - collectors must prepare hundreds of different keys and know which lock each key corresponds to.

Unless the collector carries a master key with just enough teeth to open all the padlocks in the room.

Li Ang put the A key of the original padlock back into his pocket, turned around and came to a transparent exhibition cabinet by the wall.

This exhibition cabinet is very special. The padlock underneath it disappears and there are no dolls inside.

However, the thick black cloth in the exhibition cabinet clearly showed signs of dents caused by heavy objects.

And in the indent, there is also a straight-shaped key.

Only this display case in the room is empty.

Could it be that the doll in the red dress in the living room escaped from here, put on the padlock, and came to the living room?

Then consider the male owner of the house, the role I play,

Beat him unconscious, handcuff him with a padlock, and lock him in a utility room?

what is this?

Revenge of the Doll?

Li Ang pondered, opened the storage cabinet, and took out the straight-shaped key.

This new key is completely different from the padlock key in size and tooth shape. It is slightly larger overall.

It is not a master key to the doll collection room.

He took the new key, left the basement, returned to the living room, and went straight to the bathroom - based on previous observations, he was very confident that this key corresponded to the bathroom in the house.

Sure enough, with a click, the key turned and the door lock opened, revealing a dark bathroom with no lights on.

A strong scent of modern detergent and the smell of blood hit my nose.

Li Ang held the meat cleaver in his right hand and raised the flashlight with his left hand without hesitation, turning on the strobe light mode and shining it towards the bathroom.

The strong light emitted by the flashlight illuminated the dark bathroom as bright as day.

Blood, blood, blood.

A large amount of splattered blood remained on the walls and ceiling of the bathroom, in sharp contrast to the white tiles.

Recommend an app, which is comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and can be used to read all the source books!

Some blood mixed with the accumulated water on the ground, forming clear streaks of blood in the water, which accumulated above the floor drain - the metal floor drain in the bathroom, entangled with a large number of long hairs, blocking the holes in the floor drain and preventing blood from flowing away.

The source of all the blood and water was a corpse in the bathtub at the far end of the bathroom.

The corpse was as tall as a person, disemboweled, and soaked in a bathtub that was 80% filled with blood. One arm was resting on the edge of the bathtub, and there was no blood dripping from the fingertips—it looked like it had been dead for a while.

The reason why Li Ang uses the strange description as tall as a person to describe this corpse is

the reason is simple,

The corpse was not human, but an anthropomorphic pink stuffed bunny doll.

It has human-like limbs and torso (cannot distinguish fingers and toes), its body is covered with pink fluff, it is unclothed, and its gender and age cannot be distinguished.

The stomach was completely cut open, and all the internal organs inside were gone, leaving only the gloomy rib structure.

Meow!

A shrill cat howl came from the bathroom ceiling. Li Ang turned the flashlight.

All I saw was a dark creature with a large amount of blood on its fur. It quickly got into the broken ventilation duct on the ceiling of the bathroom and disappeared.

This cat was obviously the source of the meow that Li Ang heard when he was at the bathroom door for the first time.

tread!

Li Ang stepped heavily on the ground with the soles of his feet and jumped up on the ceramic wash basin. He swept the bright flashlight in his hand towards the ventilation duct, but failed to scan the black cat figure - the other party had already followed the twists and turns of the ventilation duct and turned the corner. Averted from light.

Boom.

Li Ang fell from mid-air, his leather boots stepped on the bathroom floor, splashing a lot of blood.

Couldn't catch it...

Li Ang shook his head. Before he opened the door, he had already adjusted the flashlight to the strobe strong light mode.

However, the black cat seemed to react the moment it heard the sound of the lock cylinder.

Taking advantage of the gap when Li Ang opened the door, he escaped directly into the ventilation duct.

“Was the cat frightened by the interruption, or did it know that the flashlight posed a threat to it?

This cat has not been seen in the family photos collected in the room, but the possibility that it was originally a member of the family cannot be ruled out - there are pet doors for pets to pass through at the back and front doors of the house.

Li Ang moved his eyes away from the ventilation duct. In order to prevent the black cat from returning,

He first glanced at the blood on the ground to make sure there was nothing in the blood,

I took out some toilet paper, picked up the long hair from the floor drain, and let the blood flow into the floor drain.

Turn on the bathroom lights again, while keeping the flashlight in strong light strobe mode and aiming it at the ventilation duct.

After getting ready, he took the meat cleaver and looked at the pink rabbit corpse in the bathtub.

Upon closer inspection, this life-sized pink fur rabbit, which is as tall as a person, indeed becomes more and more weird.

It was disemboweled and its internal organs were hollowed out, and blood flowed all over the floor.

But the expression on his face was still like an ordinary life-size plush doll, with his eyes closed and his mouth pouting.

Li Ang waited for a moment and saw no changes in the pink rabbit's body. Even under the strong light mode of the flashlight, the pink rabbit's body did not become stiff or numb.

The puppet who stabbed people with a dagger, the rabbit doll whose entrails were eaten by the cat in the bathroom bath, this house is full of outstanding people.

Li Ang muttered to himself, lifted the rabbit body from the bathtub, and inspected it carefully.

The anatomical structure of the rabbit corpse is very strange, similar to the fusion of human and rabbit.

However, in some very obvious places, there are traces of artificial dolls.

For example, a rabbit's eyeballs are connected to the brain with a silk thread instead of a complex optic nerve.

Inside the rabbit’s hanging ears is not rabbit meat, but the cotton stuffing commonly used in dolls.

This...even advanced alchemy can't create such a weird living creature, right?

Li Ang gently pressed his fingers on the uneven marks on the rabbit's belly where the cat had eaten it. After thinking for a moment, he put his hand into the rabbit's body and fumbled for a while, but did not find the key he guessed.

...So what is this room used for? Is it specifically for me to watch Happy Tree Friends style hunting scenes?

Li Ang complained, washed away the blood on his hands with the water in the faucet, and glanced at the sink.

Common daily necessities are placed on the sink.

Toothbrush, tooth cup, toothpaste, mouthwash, facial cleanser, sunscreen, etc.

There are a total of four sets of toothbrush cups and four sets of towels, corresponding to a family of four. However, the relatively small two sets of toothbrushes and cups have significantly lighter signs of use than the larger two sets.

Children use less than adults.

All cup toothbrushes are relatively dry and have not been used in at least a few hours.

Li Ang put down his toothbrush and cup, looked up at the mirror above the sink.

In the mirror, I'm wearing a suit

Locker, open the locker under the light of the flashlight.

The locker is divided into three compartments. The bottom compartment contains miscellaneous items such as hair dryers and curling irons.

The upper two compartments are filled with a dazzling array of medicines.

Li Ang didn't feel much difference about this,

Different from the East Asian people who believe that medicine is only three parts poison and are secretive about taking medicine,

In the real world, it is very normal for American people to take drugs, and some are even suspected of abusing drugs and taking them as necessary pills.

Let me see what's there.

Li Ang took down the medicine bottle from the locker, Ibuprofen, for anti-inflammatory.

Paracetamol, used to relieve pain,

Ketamine, used to treat urticaria, skin itching and prevent airsickness,

Pseudojutetin, used to treat nasal congestion and eliminate phlegm...

Many of these medicines in the cabinet were common medicines. When Li Ang opened the medicine box, there were indeed traces of taking them inside.

Wait, lithium?

Li Ang suddenly paused while scanning the medicine, picked up a white medicine bottle, opened it and smelled it.

In addition, there are lamotrigine tablets, carbamazepine, quetiapine...

Could it be that...

Li Ang laid out these medicines in front of him. Through the missing amounts in these medicine bottles, he could know the family's medication habits and even infer what kind of problems they had.

The man locked in the utility room, the basement full of dolls, the pill bottles in the locker in the bathroom...

Li Ang groaned, picked some medicine bottles and put them in his pocket, held the flashlight in his mouth, and dragged the rabbit corpse out of the bathtub.

The fur on the surface of the rabbit is extremely absorbent. Fortunately, a lot of its internal organs and other things have been eaten by the black cat before, so Li Ang can still drag it away.

After a lot of effort, he dragged the rabbit body from the bathroom to the living room.

Use paper to wipe away the water stains and blood stains on the surface of the rabbit body, and drag it to the stairs leading to the second floor behind the living room.

“I almost understand the pattern of this scenario mission.

From the time I woke up in the utility room and took off the shackles on my hands,

To opening the secret box on the driver's seat of the Chevrolet SUV, to this body.

Each link is almost linear.

According to this logic, the presence in the bathroom is not without effect...

Li Ang picked up the disemboweled rabbit body and placed it on a chair.

Use a dagger to dig a hole in the left hand of the rabbit corpse.

Poke the wire that connects to the fingerprint unlock gate into it.

Then, Li Ang held the rabbit's right hand with his left hand, and used his right hand to hold the other exposed wire.

The words 12V printed on this white wire before are hinting,

The human body is also capable of conducting electricity.

After Li Ang held the wire, he immediately felt a slight numbness in his palm.

At the same time, the LCD panel of the fingerprint unlocking gate also lit up, emitting light and revealing a trace of a fingerprint.

call...

Li Ang slowly exhaled a breath and pressed his palm on the fingerprint panel.

Click.

The sound of the door bolt moving sounded clearly inside the metal gate.

This thick door automatically opens outward.

really.

Li Ang slowly released his hand from the rabbit corpse. The safe voltage of the human body is around 36V.

The 12V mark on the wire implies that the human body can be used to conduct electricity to make the iron gate work properly.

He didn't rush up the steps, but picked up the flashlight and shined it up.

The corridor stairs from the living room to the second floor are turned back and forth.

In addition to the fingerprint unlocking gate, there is a row of wooden railings on the side.

Under the light of the flashlight, the second floor of the house was silent and you could hear a needle drop, making it look eerie and terrifying.

[The second phase mission goal has been completed]

[Three-stage mission goal: Explore the second floor of the house and learn the truth]

The system prompt sounded in his ears, and at the same time, the sound of shattering ceramics was heard in the living room behind Li Ang - the sealing time of the doll had come.
