I'm Immortal Speed Pass Supernatural Game
#274 - Late Night Horror
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and looked towards the door.
He observed the situation outside through the peephole.
Knocking on the door was a chubby little boy who looked fair-skinned.
“Sorry, it's not Halloween today, I don't have any candy for you. If you're going to cause trouble, I guarantee I'll use these old leather shoes to kiss your deserving bottom hard. Good heavens, you smell as disgusting as Grandma Susan's burnt cookies.”
As soon as he opened the door, Wu Wang smelled a pungent odor that made him frown involuntarily.
The source of the smell was naturally the child in front of him.
How could he smell so bad?
The boy looked at Wu Wang with teary eyes.
His voice trembled slightly, with a sob, he said: "Uncle Luo… I'm so hungry… Do you have anything to eat at home?”
So, his identity's surname is Luo.
This request also surprised Wu Wang somewhat.
Food? Why would this child come to his door looking for food?
Where are his parents? Child abuse like this can get you arrested.
“Didn’t your parents give you food? What's your name? Which house do you live in?”
Whether it was because of the side quest or wanting to understand the personnel distribution in this apartment building.
Wu Wang always wanted to find out where the other party lived.
Just like how he pretended to be drunk and asked the long-haired woman about the building rules before.
However, this time he got an unexpected answer.
The child timidly pointed to the house next door.
“I’m Wang Xiaoming… I live next door. Uncle Luo, are you drunk again? Dad used to say not to look for you when you're drunk, but I'm really too hungry…”
He lives next door?
Wu Wang stuck his head out to take a look.
Indeed, the tightly closed door next door was already open.
All indications were that the child had come out of there.
But he had just deduced that the person next door had been killed the day before yesterday!
Otherwise, why didn't the long-haired woman give them the building rules?
Could it be that she gave it to them first, and then knocked on his door?
No, the long-haired woman's position at his door was biased to the left.
Moreover, there were a few strands of her hair on the ground slightly to the left of the corridor.
This proved that she came from the left to distribute the building rules.
This child's home is in the rightmost house.
It's impossible for them to get the building rules before him.
So, someone is lying?
Wu Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at the child, his gaze gradually becoming cold.
He wasn't someone who respected the old and loved the young.
What's more, the guy in front of him might not even be human.
“Uncle Luo… don't look at me like that, I'm so scared.” The child's legs were shaking, and tears were already welling up in his eyes.
It seemed like he would cry at any moment.
To this, Wu Wang just told him to wait a moment.
Then, he turned around and rummaged through the cabinets to find some food like bread and milk.
It's worth mentioning that, in addition to food in the refrigerator.
There was so much beer that it made your scalp tingle.
It was hard to imagine why the person who originally lived here hadn't died of alcohol poisoning.
Looking at the child's expression of drooling with greed.
He didn't hand it over immediately.
Instead, he whispered like a devil: “Take me into your house, and then every time you answer a question for me, you can get a bite of bread. I'll give you milk after I've asked all the questions, how about it?”
Hearing that there was food, the child nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
To be honest.
When the other party said the three words Wang Xiaoming, Wu Wang wanted to get another set of Decade's clothes to put on.
As for whether the Abyss God Mark could allow him to forcibly carry a piece of equipment like before?
Of course, it could, and this time Wu Wang also chose the 【Fake Smile Mask】.
The reason is very simple—
When he woke up, he saw his current face was a Western face through the reflection of the window glass.
High nose bridge, three-dimensional features, and it seemed he was Caucasian.
He immediately understood that most of the players who entered the instance this time directly replaced a resident in the apartment.
Even more deeply than the replacement in 【Anecdotes of the Pear Garden】.
This time, even the resident's body was inherited.
Under such circumstances, coupled with the fact that all players' equipment and props were sealed.
He could pretend to be other people.
There were too many tricks that could be played in the middle.
Most importantly—he needed to pretend to be other people to trigger the title effect of 【God of Acting】.
He hasn't put on the Kamen Rider's costume yet.
Mainly because he couldn't expose his advantage of being able to use equipment.
As for going to the house next door…
Even without the appearance of the child.
Wu Wang originally planned to go over and check after reading the building rules.
After all, the person was killed the day before yesterday. According to the long-haired woman's lazy appearance.
Even the distribution of the building rules almost made her oversleep, barely making it in time.
She probably didn't have the leisure to clean up the house next door.
That is to say, the next door is likely to still retain the original scene of the murder.
Wu Wang wanted to find some clues.
In order to judge how the guy next door died.
In the face of unknown threats, information is obviously the most important link.
But now with the child's situation.
Wu Wang had to get the other party's consent before entering the house.
Of course, it wasn't because he was polite.
But the second building rule clearly stated—
【If there are special circumstances requiring a visit to another resident's house, you must obtain the consent of any member of the house before entering】
The third rule is—
【If you accidentally invite certain existences into the house, you will be safe as long as you enter the house of other normal residents】.
And this one, in a sense.
Is actually contradictory to the first one.
Given that there is still little known information.
Wu Wang didn't plan to violate the building rules.
So, he reluctantly sought the child's consent for him to enter the house next door.
After obtaining permission, he glanced at the time before going out—
【18:58】
There were two minutes left until the time limited by the first building rule.
Thinking of this, Wu Wang shrugged indifferently.
It didn't matter, he didn't violate the building rules.
Don't forget, the building rules only say not to let people in after 19:00.
But it didn't say he couldn't go out.
Picking up a key from the table, and trying it to make sure it could open his door.
Wu Wang put the key in his pocket and walked out.
Two minutes was definitely not enough for him to explore the house next door.
So, he had a bold idea—
Tonight, he would spend the night next door!
“First question, where did your parents go?” Wu Wang tore off a piece of bread and handed it to the child after going out.
The other party took it and swallowed it hungrily.
Walking into the door, he stretched out his finger, his mouth vaguely saying: "They're in there!”
Following the child into the house, Wu Wang closed the door as soon as possible.
Then he looked in the direction of his finger.
He saw a horrifying scene—
That was the dining table in the living room, next to which sat a man and a woman.
They stared blankly at the door, their eyes hollow as if they were human puppets.
But the expressions on their faces were unusually ferocious and terrifying, as if they had seen some great horror and were scared to death.
This was the look on their faces.
And their heads were placed on the plates on the dining table.
Their bodies sat steadily on both sides, even holding knives and forks in their hands.
As if ready to eat their own heads at any time, even though there were no mouths on their bodies.
It was hard to imagine how a body without a head could maintain its balance.
Not only that, but both of them were blood red.
The clothes and heads on their bodies seemed to have been brushed over after being soaked in red paint.
Emitting a strong stench.
"Huh? A foul smell?"
Wu Wang glanced at the child who was munching on bread.
He also had this smell on him.
It smelled like rotten eggs.
The most important thing was—the child didn't seem scared at all by the horrifying way his parents had died.
Compared to his parents' tragic state, he seemed more afraid of greeting strangers.
When he came to find me earlier, he stuttered when he spoke.
Filled with doubt, Wu Wang walked to the dining table.
He reached out and gently stroked the strands of hair on the head that had been stained with liquid and solidified.
He tore off a piece of the dark red, scab-like substance on their faces and crushed it into powder in his hand.
He also noticed that the female corpse's hand, clutching the knife and fork, was a bit strange.
It was too swollen, as if she was holding something else in her palm.
He gently pried it open and removed the knife and fork.
He was shocked to find a very small key.
The latest novels can be found first on 69shu.com!
It didn't look like a key for a security door.
Wu Wang's expression became even more intriguing.
Leaving the key aside for now, he was now certain what those dark red solidified substances were.
It was blood.
All of those dark red scabs were their own blood.
Their bodies and skin had completely lost all elasticity and were not filled with blood.
It was as if an invisible force had extracted all the blood from their bodies and squeezed it onto their heads like syrup, arranging it like a garnish when serving dishes in a high-end restaurant.
This rotten egg-like smell was the smell of blood that had gone bad after a long time.
"Second question, what happened the night before last? How did your parents become like this?"
Wu Wang tore off another piece of bread and threw it in front of the child.
It was like feeding a pet.
The other party continued to eat, replying vaguely, "The day before yesterday… Grandma and Grandpa came to visit."
"Mom and Dad made a big table full of food."
"But I didn't get to eat it. They said Grandma and Grandpa wanted to play hide-and-seek with me first, and I could eat after we finished playing."
"They told me to hide behind the closet, there's a small room there."
With that, he walked towards the bedroom.
Wu Wang followed at a light pace.
He also took the opportunity to observe the layout of the house.
A very standard and cozy home.
The long sofa was a soft beige color, with the TV remote control casually placed on it.
In front was a low coffee table, with some lush green potted plants on it.
Walking into the bedroom, there was a soft-glowing lamp and several bedtime books on the bedside table.
Every detail revealed warmth and comfort.
Unfortunately, the more it was like this, the more vigilant Wu Wang became.
Because this was really too abnormal.
A couple with a child, in a dangerous situation, even if they didn't run out of the house.
At least they would have to run back to the bedroom or something, right?
But there was none of that here.
There were no traces of the table corner of the dining table rubbing against the ground, proving that it had not been moved.
The things on the sofa and coffee table had not been moved either, and even the bedroom was as usual.
This indicated that they didn't even struggle before and after the attack.
But they had time to hide the child behind the closet?
Walking further in, Wu Wang also saw the child's so-called small room.
The closet was nailed to the wall, with a space about half a meter wide and one person tall left inside, sealed off with an iron plate.
You could also see a lock hanging on the iron plate.
Calling it a small room, it was actually equivalent to cutting out a special storage cabinet inside the closet.
Adults probably couldn't even squeeze in.
The child should have no problem.
"Mom and Dad said if they didn't call me and I ran out, they wouldn't want me anymore."
"I've been hiding until now, but I really couldn't stand being hungry anymore."
"So I came out to find something to eat, and then I found that there was nothing at home, so I went to find Uncle Luo…"
He said miserably.
After saying that, his eyes were still focused on the bread and milk in Wu Wang's hand.
Clearly, he was starving.
Those few bites just now were not enough to fill his stomach.
"Wait… lock?" Wu Wang's gaze fixed on the lock hanging on the iron plate.
He turned to look at the child and asked, "Last question—how did you get out?"
With that, he handed the bread and milk to the child.
As the other party spoke next.
Wu Wang silently rolled up his sleeves, revealing his red vertical pupils.
Because the child said innocently:
"I just pushed the door open and came out, but I couldn't push it open yesterday, I could only push it open today."
Impossible!
Wu Wang instantly rejected this situation.
Since they decided to hide the child in the closet, they must have locked it.
Otherwise, the mother wouldn't be holding that small key in her hand.
The moment he saw the small lock, Wu Wang could almost conclude that the key was for opening this thing.
She was clutching it until her death, which meant that they must have locked it.
It was impossible for the child to just push the door open directly.
And now, the lock has been opened.
There was only one possibility, and that was—
Someone opened the lock with the key today.
Not his parents, because these two died before unlocking it.
Then it could only be—the person who killed them.
Or rather, something similar to a person that killed them.
According to the content on the building regulations.
Wu Wang could basically conclude that the "Grandma and Grandpa" who came to visit this family the night before last.
Were definitely not the real deal.
They appeared as "Grandma and Grandpa", tricking this family into trusting them and opening the door.
After killing the couple in a bizarre way, they left a child unharmed for some reason.
And now, they haven't left!
They are still in this house!
Rustling—
Just as he thought of this, a strange sound came from the living room.
Wu Wang rushed to the bedroom door at an extremely fast speed.
He fearlessly poked his head out to look at the living room.
But he found that the two heads and corpses that were originally in front of the dining table had strangely disappeared.
Leaving only a series of scarlet footprints leading to the door.
It was as if they had stood up again, twisted their heads back onto their bodies, and then freely left this house.
Knock knock!
Urgent knocking sounded.
A muffled male voice came from outside: "Xiaoming, I'm back, open the door."
The child subconsciously said: "It's my dad…"
But Wu Wang reached out and stopped him behind him.
He said coldly: "It's not your dad, your dad is already dead, your mom is also dead."
Although it sounded a bit like scolding.
And it didn't seem right to say these cruel things to a child.
But Wu Wang wouldn't indulge him.
The truth is the truth, and it cannot be changed.
There are ghosts outside the door now, and there are still "Grandma and Grandpa" hiding somewhere in the house.
It seems like I've actively jumped into a bloody mouth.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!
The knocking became more and more urgent.
At this moment, the child spoke again.
With a confused expression and incomprehension.
He asked Wu Wang an incomprehensible question—
"Uncle Luo, what is dead?"
"Grandma and Grandpa also said I was dead the day before yesterday."
"Can you eat dead?"
Wu Wang: "?"
There is good news and bad news.
The good news is—the child may not need his protection anymore.
The bad news is—this house seems to be quite lively, with a family of five spanning three generations.
But it seems like only I am alive.
Is this what it's like to enter a副本 this exciting right from the start?
