The NPC Was Once Again Frightened By Me

Lin Huai went up to the third floor by the elevator.Chu Tianshu was lying in the property management room as if bored.

He was humming a very boring song, drooping his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking.

A pair of wine red leather shoes stayed in front of his eyes.

White bubble socks, pink and white floral skirt, ponytail and pale face... It's the little girl from 202.

She stared at Chu Tianshu firmly.

"Come to play with me?" Chu Tianshu glanced at her expression that was not the same as usual, and patted the sofa beside her with his tail, "Sit down."

The little girl didn't speak.

She didn't speak, Chu Tianshu also ignored her.He turned himself over and lazily said: "Don't touch my forehead, just touch my back casually."

"in the end……"

"Ok?"

"What the hell are you guys...?"

The little girl asked tremblingly.

"who?"

Chu Tianshu turned himself over again.He looked at the little girl and smiled.

Chu Tianshu: "Chordates, Mammalia, Primates, Hominids belong to Homo sapiens."

little girl:……

Chu Tianshu: "You can also call me homosapiens."

The little girl's brain froze: "ho...ho what?"

Chu Tianshu: "homosapiens, follow me, ho-mo-sa-pi-ens."

little girl:……

"you!"

The little girl was annoyed for a moment, she stomped the floor hard with her red leather shoes, only then did she realize that Chu Tianshu was teasing her again.She pouted with anger, and Chu Tianshu lazily turned himself around again.

After a long time, the little girl said again: "You must have problems, you are not simple people, simple players..."

"Ok?"

"Earthquake," her originally vicious tone brought out a bit of fear of the unknown when she said these two words, "There was an earthquake in the apartment just now... I have never seen an earthquake in an apartment before!"

"Don't coax me by saying that you are players... I have seen many players, they are not like you at all! And the earthquake was not at all..." The little girl showed a look of fear, "It was not... any player at all. Can cause! I have never seen such an earthquake..."

Chu Tianshu: "Then you have seen it now, isn't the experience of expanding life pretty good?"

little girl:……

Her fingers firmly grasped the coffee table, as if to give herself some support.After a long time, she heard Chu Tianshu sigh.

"Your personality, which insists on asking the truth, is very similar to him when he was a child... No, even now, it is very similar."

He leaned up, looked at the snow-white ceiling, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The little girl trotted over and sat beside him, looking at him relentlessly.

"The truth or a stable life, which one would you choose?" Chu Tianshu asked her suddenly.

The little girl froze for a moment. She was about to answer, but soon realized that this man was just asking and answering himself.

"If you use this sentence to ask me in the past, I will definitely choose the truth." Chu Tianshu looked at the sky, "It's like every teenager in a fantasy story is eager to slay dragons and climb mountains and mountains. , to look for treasures... Maybe it's out of exploring the unknown, maybe it's just to prove yourself, or maybe it's just because I was not reconciled when I was young. Until..."

His eyelashes curled up slightly: "Until you meet someone, you start to find that the outside world is not attractive to you. You still want to go to the outside world, but you just want to give him love in a different place." Send a postcard. You find that you want to be with him more than the world. The table, the plate, the clothes that are washed and dried, and the mediocre pedestrians in the mall that you once called vulgar ... are full of attraction because of him. You find almost horrified that you have changed."

This should have been an answer that had nothing to do with what she asked, but the little girl listened quietly.

"However, since that day, you have realized very clearly that... the world is changing. It is not a stage that will provide you with a stable life. The things you pursue and study...determine your destiny, You begin to learn fear, learn anger, and realize loss. The truth and a stable life are never a multiple-choice question, but a juxtaposed proposition. You can not know the truth, but you must grasp the truth, as long as..."

A faint golden light appeared in Chu Tianshu's pupils, as if there were thousands of data streams running in it: "As long as you want to leave everything you cherish."

The little girl was very quiet, and Chu Tianshu was also very quiet. The two of them did not speak for a long time.

"I will gather the keys to re-enter the door soon." Chu Tianshu pointed to the ceiling, "I knew from the very beginning that something was watching this world."

He smiled: "Sometimes I feel that life should be a little crueler than it is now. I don't know what 'it' is, but the closer I get to 'it', the more frightened I feel. It's a bit embarrassing to say it... …it may be because……"

"Some people love the truth itself, but I just want to maintain the current world and continue to live." Chu Tianshu pulled a notebook to cover his face, "It's really uncool to say this, if It is the protagonist of the boy manga who said such unambitious words, and many readers will definitely give them negative marks..."

little girl:……

"Although I don't understand what you're saying..."

Chu Tianshu grabbed the magazine: "Huh? Are you still there?"

little girl:……

"However, I can understand how you feel about 'life'." The little girl said a little uncomfortably, "Just like when I dream occasionally, the happy scene I dream of is not that I catch the 'pet' back, but... ..."

It's the scene of her playing and running in the hallway with her beloved dog.

……

The girl walked back to the second floor along the stairs, perhaps because she had a rare heart-to-heart talk with someone, and she was in a very relaxed and happy mood.

But halfway through...

"Wait! So I didn't ask exactly what caused the earthquake!" The little girl stomped her feet wanting to cry, "Why was the topic suddenly taken away!"

She gritted her teeth, and finally gave up on the matter with a sigh: Anyway, the "earthquake" in the apartment had nothing to do with her. Hong Yi can pay attention.

Thinking of this, the corridor on the second floor has appeared in front of her eyes.The little girl shivered slightly when she saw the half-covered door on the second floor.

She clearly remembers...

'When I left 202, was the door closed? '

Vigilance welled up in her heart.There was no one in the corridor, she rolled her eyes, and entered 202 with the door ajar.

202 is still dark and cold.The furniture was covered with white cloth, like the shroud that once covered her body.In the living room, there is still the freezer where her mother's body is sleeping...

only……

The little girl lowered her head, staring at a stain on the entrance.

She changed her face, and ran quickly along the corridor against the corner of the wall.

— until reaching her destination.

"Shh!"

The little girl opened the door.

After a while, she fell to the ground and gritted her teeth.

"...It's gone." She said in a low voice.

Lin Huai entered Room 302 at the invitation of the artist.

Different from other rooms, room 302 is filled with a strong atmosphere of oil paint.Lin Huai's sense of smell is better than that of ordinary people, and she was almost fainted when she first entered the room.

"It's a little messy in the room." The painter smiled and let him sit on the sofa, "I hope you don't mind."

Lin Huai: "It's okay, I'm a very generous person."

The painter's room conforms to all the imaginations of ordinary people about the profession of painters.Easels, picture frames, waste manuscripts, and rolled-up scrolls were thrown all over the floor.Such a messy indoor environment really doesn't match his gentle appearance.

'Now it seems that this painter does have the potential to become an arsonist. Lin Huai thought, "Seeing such a chaotic and disorderly environment, the painter Baobuqi wants to burn them all with a fire one day." '

However, what attracted Lin Huai's attention the most were the portraits placed in the direction of the balcony. They were covered with a black cloth, making it difficult for people to see the paintings under the black cloth.

Li Gui's intuition made Lin Huai realize that there must be something strange in these paintings.

Besides, there was another painting that caught Lin Huai's attention.

The painting was placed on the only easel in the audience, next to a box with paint, bread crumbs and charcoal on it.It looks like this painting is a recent work by the artist.

However, it was also covered with a black cloth.

Lin Huai walked towards it, the paint in the paint box was still not dry, it seemed that the artist was still painting this painting a short time ago.

strangeness.

"Covered with a black cloth, and placed in a conspicuous position." Lin Huai murmured, "If I don't lift it up to take a look, wouldn't I be very disappointed in his hospitality?"

He frowned, thinking of another point before jumping to try.

"What if I will be sucked into the painting when I lift it?" Lin Huai rubbed his chin, "How about this, put him in front of the easel by choking the artist's neck, and then lift the black cloth to try again." Try. That way my safety can be carefully guaranteed.”

Thinking like this, he observed the paintings in the room one by one.The painter's technique is extremely exquisite, and many oil paintings are lifelike.There are a large number of photos of scenic spots and natural scenery, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, as if they were there.

One of the paintings is the scenery of Venice, the blue sea is floating in gold, and fishing boats are docked at the pier.There are pigeons flying in the square, and there are stalls selling souvenirs on both sides.

However, for some reason, Lin Huai faintly sensed something was wrong.

After observing these paintings, Lin Huai came to the balcony again.

What he was facing were eight paintings covered by black cloth.Just as Lin Huai was about to touch the black cloth, he saw a letter casually thrown aside.

Lin Huai opened the letter.

He glanced at the past, and there were three lines of flattery to the painter in the envelope, praising his superb portrait painting skills.Then, he used the five elements to express his invitation to a certain art exhibition.

The inviter's surname is Lu and his first name is Zhengfang.

Lin Huai was slightly taken aback.

He remembered the man's name.This man is a well-known painter, famous for his paintings of ink and bamboo. Lin Huai had seen news about him in the newspaper, but...

This person...is a person from the real world!

The name of a person in the real world...how could it appear in a letter in the game?

Coincidence?

... No, Lin Huai remembered that in reality, he had seen the news about that person.This appears to be a year ago.The well-known painter Lu Zhengfang created the opening ceremony for his own gallery, but at the opening ceremony, a certain sex scandal related to him was exposed on the spot, completely exposing his image of a hypocrite... This incident has been raging for a whole month. , so Lin Huai was also deeply impressed by this.

He squeezed the letter with his fingers slightly.

Lin Huai watched the signing of the letter, and secretly wrote down the handwriting of the signature and the time corresponding to the exhibition.

He was still thinking about it, but the painter's voice came from behind him: "Curious about this painting?"

Lin Huai turned his head and saw the artist holding two cups of black tea and looking at him with a smile.
