A hunting adventure [unlimited]

There was no one in the hotel who was a doctor by profession, and calling for help was fruitless, Liu Min returned to the room, she wiped away tears, stood by Ye Yingting's bed, fed him some water, and wiped his sweat with a wet towel wrung out of cold water.

Yu Zhen measured Ye Yingting's forehead with the back of his hand. He was running a fever, sweating profusely, and his lips were completely drained of blood. If this continues, sooner or later he will become dehydrated and lead to shock. The most terrifying thing is the protruding blue blood vessels on the surface of the skin, which criss-cross and undulate like tree roots. Uncertain, as if there are creatures swimming in it.

"What disease did he contract?" He asked Yan Chen, "Will he become that monster with golden eyes?"

"I don't dare to say for sure, but the symptoms are very similar to an infectious disease I saw in Central America." Yan Chen leaned against the door frame and recalled calmly, "I was ten years old at that time, and followed The family went to a hut by the forest lake for vacation. The land was sparsely populated. No one knew what the source of the infection was, but all the animals became sick overnight. The blood vessels under the fur burst, the skin gradually festered, and all the internal organs rotted during the autopsy. It’s broken. Those animals were extremely thirsty for water before they died, so many foxes and wild dogs died by the lake, and some residents drank the water in the lake without knowing it, got infected, and finally died.”

His words caused everyone in the corridor to look at each other in dismay, and someone asked seriously, "Can people infect each other?"

Yan Chen said calmly, "If you don't drink his blood, I don't think you will."

"I've seen a lot." Du Yu nodded affirmatively.

"Damn it." Zhou Lian sat on the floor, wanting to have a cigarette, and restrained his desire with scruples about the scene.

Liu Min didn't know whether she heard or not, with a cold expression on her face, she concentrated on helping Ye Yingting wipe his arms, the boy's neck was covered with sweat, she wanted to help him unbutton his collar, but the moment she lifted the quilt, she cried out.

The clothes on Ye Yingting's abdomen were soaked with sticky blood, the cloth and flesh stuck together, and the smell of rot was pervasive.

Yu Zhen immediately tore off the layer of clothes, the bloody wound was horrifying, he couldn't bear to turn his head away; if it was an infection, the deterioration would be too fast, if he didn't seek medical treatment in time, he wouldn't survive tonight.

The person who was looking at the door of the room went back to the corridor and whispered to the others about Ye Yingting's condition.

Yan Chen was patted on the shoulder. When he turned his head, several faces looked dignified, and he asked him in a sonorous and forceful tone: "Sir, tell the truth, is this disease contagious?"

Yan Chen raised his hands and said: "Don't touch, don't touch his blood, you should be able to avoid infection."

Urgent changes in the situation are often unexpected. Without waiting for the people in the room to feel anything, Yan Chen has been dragged into the corridor, and the other hand stretched out to grab the doorknob, and the door was slammed shut!

Zhou Lian immediately got up to grab the door, but unfortunately he was one step too late, there were so many people outside the door, he pulled the door with all his strength and locked them inside.

"What are you doing!?" Zhou Lian kicked the door hard.

The people outside said: "There is no way, you have all touched the child's wound! In case of infection, everyone will play with you! Stay inside! When the outside world is contacted, a medical team will come and rescue you. !"

Zhou Lian gritted his teeth and kicked the door angrily!Rebuked: "A bunch of sons of bitches."

Dust fell from the ceiling, and the chandelier flickered.

Yu Zhen's ears hurt from the noise, and she said, "Calm down, if it were you, you would do the same."

Not long after, there was the sound of hammers hammering on boards and nails outside, and the door was pierced by sharp spikes, so that people in the house didn't even dare to hit the door with their hands and feet.

Zhou Lian yelled, "Hey! You bastards want to imprison people!?"

This time, no one answered outside.

Liu Min's eyes straightened, and he said with a lot of resentment: "I hope people outside will be bitten to death by monsters tonight."

Du Yu went to the window to look. Ye Yingting's room was on the second floor, in the middle of the room. He couldn't jump onto the wall of the small courtyard and land with a buffer. The way to escape was to jump directly to the bottom. This height was considered safe.

"There are beds and quilts here, bathrooms and water, so we can live another seven days without any problem." He said optimistically, "It's okay to run, but we need to plan the route well."

Zhou Lian pointed to the unconscious Ye Yingting on the bed and said, "If you get infected as soon as you touch him, none of us will survive tomorrow."

Yu Zhen stood up and said straightly: "Take off your clothes. The early symptoms of infection appear on the body surface. Take off your coats and check each other to see if you are infected."

Liu Min's eyes widened in surprise, "Do I want to take it off too?"

Yu Zhen gestured for her to go into the bathroom, "Go to the bathroom, close the door and check yourself in the mirror."

***

It's aggrieved to say that Yu Zhen has always felt that he is skinny, but he is not ugly. He also has abdominal muscles and mermaid lines, but the body fat rate is low. No matter how hard he exercises, his arms and legs can't be thicker. Compared with Zhou Lian, he was really weak.

He was the last one. Du Yu pinched his arm and asked him to raise his arms. He looked carefully at his ribs and waist, "You are so white, your skin tone is even."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yu Zhen said displeased, it sounded like he was making fun of him.

"Turn around." Du Yu supported his shoulder and made him turn around.

As soon as Yu Zhen turned her back, Du Yu and Zhou Lian looked at each other and smiled.

"There's still a waist." Zhou Lian said.

"It's okay, I said you look like a doll." Du Yu was afraid that he would think too much, so he took the initiative, "I have a cousin who likes to play with life-sized dolls. You are like the one in her closet, very expensive."

"You are like a dummy!" Yu Zhen knocked off the opponent's hand, "Have you seen enough?"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, the inspection is over." Du Yu handed him his coat, "Put it on."

Yu Zhen put all her clothes on in twos and twos. She wanted to beat Du Yu, but when she did it, she looked weak and hypocritical. They are both men. Isn't it normal to comment on each other's figures?Why is he so glassy?

Ah, he must really be jealous of Du Yu, what did this bastard grow up on, his face and figure are so good.

But the most important thing right now is that their signs are all normal and there is no sign of infection.

Liu Min came out of the bathroom with a relaxed expression, and she said, "I don't have it either."

They were safe for the time being, but Ye Yingting's condition continued to deteriorate. Most of the young man's clothes were taken off, and festering wounds quickly spread to his limbs. His lower legs and arms seemed to have been scalded with countless blisters and ruptured. The surface skin peeled off, and the bright red flesh rotted , and Ye Yingting never woke up.

"Is there anything you can do to save him?" Liu Min stood by the bed, looking at his companion with eyes swollen from crying, "I took him out on a trip. We have known each other since we were young. If something happens to him , I really have no face to live on."

"Life and death, little girl." Zhou Lian rested his back against the wall, and said lazily, "Everyone has his own fate, and if he dies here, that's his fate."

Liu Min finally stopped the tears, and shed tears again, "You, if you can't talk, can you shut up! Comfort me with a few words and you will die! How do you talk, wow..."

Yu Zhen lowered his head as if he didn't hear anything, and was flipping through the hardcover book he snatched. Du Yu sat next to him and asked, "Still studying at this time?"

"What study, I can't understand." Yu Zhen blindly flipped through the pages. The whole book is written in Latin, and the inside pages contain illustrations. The lines are rough and simple, and the paintings are some rare mysterious totems. understand.Suddenly, he found a strange six-pointed star pattern - [-]% similar to the pattern of kitchen candles.

"Found it!" He pointed to the illustration with emotion, "This is it."

Du Yu: "You mean, those candles?"

"I really need someone who can understand the content of this book." Yu Zhen put the thick brick book on Du Yu's lap, muttering "there must be something else", then looked around the whole room Patrol.

Du Yu touched the bronzing pattern on the book cover and realized something, "Where did this book come from?"

"It was snatched from a bearded man." Yu Zhen opened the desk drawer in the room, there was nothing; he looked around, and his gaze fell on Ye Yingting's bedside lamp.

Under the lampshade of the desk lamp, there is a fat copper ornament of a mouse. The pattern on the top of the mouse’s head is similar to that of a book cover and a mirror frame; it is impossible to describe what kind of texture it is, like the texture of the ground or bark, broken and corrugated, There is no pattern to follow, but their similarities can be recognized at a glance.

Yu Zhen picked up the mouse and threw it to Du Yu, who caught it easily and said, "Is there a reward for collecting a series?"

"It's not a reward, it's bad luck." He rubbed his neck and turned his head to relieve his fatigue.He sighed, "I see, I finally understand what's going on in this ghost place."

Zhou Lian was confused by their conversation, and interjected: "What are you talking about? How did you understand?"

Yu Zhen beckoned to Liu Min to let her come over, then he put the hardcover book and the mouse on the floor together, sat down cross-legged, pointed to the top of the copper statue of the mouse and the cover of the book, and said: "This book and this mouse , including the mirror in my room and Du Yu's, have the same pattern, indicating that they are from the same series; I believe that in other people's rooms, including the two of you, there is also such an object, engraved with similar pattern."

Liu Min and Zhou Lian glanced at each other, the former stared at him and said, "You mean the original decorations in the hotel room? It's normal that they are from the same series, after all, they are from the same hotel."

"It's not normal." Yu Zhen turned to the page with the hexagram pattern in the book, "We found a strange dead body in the kitchen of the restaurant this morning. It was the chef of the cafeteria. He was lying in a pool of blood when he died. , candles were lit all around, and the pattern of the candles is like this. According to the time calculation, the chef died between 4:5 and [-]:[-] in the morning; I have a question, what time did you finish the game and leave the tavern last night?"

Liu Min recalled: "Two or three o'clock."

Yu Zhen: "Then I can say with certainty that all the strange things in this town happened after the death of the chef. At four or five in the morning, the taverns closed, and the tobacconists and late-night restaurants turned off their lights and closed their doors. Go home and put away the bath water, and prepare to rest and sleep. At that time, everything was suspended, and everyone except this hotel disappeared collectively, just because of the strange death of a man."

"Fuck, then why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhou Lian said in shock.

"We only entered the kitchen after you left." Du Yu said, "To avoid causing panic, we only told Xiaoye, who knew that things would develop to this point."

Yu Zhen: "The content of this book must be related to that male corpse, but unfortunately no one here understands Latin..."

Liu Min raised her hand and said, "I will. I originally wanted to apply for medical school, so I studied Latin for a while, but then I fell a little short and went to business school."

"Don't tell me earlier." Yu Zhen pushed the book in front of her, clicked on the words below the illustrations and said, "Read what these paragraphs say."

"I don't know much, so I may not be able to fully understand it. I guess the meaning is fine." Liu Min held up a book that was too big for her and laid it on her lap. She pointed to the sentence and translated it directly into Chinese to read. He came out and said, "The dead died in the sea of ​​blood of the deer, and the flame ignited the holy star, which will guide you to the other shore and sleep in the dwelling place of the gods... People of the gods under the snow-capped mountains, you will return to your hometown and return to the world."

Yu Zhen: "Everyone here, how much is your reading comprehension in Chinese? Don't I need to explain it?"

Du Yu played with the copper mouse and said with a smile, "Well, it's interesting."

Zhou Lian took the book away, and his eyes almost stared at the illustration, "Is this a fucking summoning array? Are those moving corpses summoned by sacrificing dead cooks?"

"Yes, the main responsibility lies with the first person to get this book." Yu Zhen thought of the bearded scholar who looked terrified when he snatched the book away, shouting that he didn't know anything—impossible , that person must understand the text on the book, and what did he do with this page.

Du Yu held up the bronze statue of the mouse and said: "In history and poetry, the mouse is a kind of animal that spreads the plague."

Liu Min suddenly looked at Ye Yingting with her eyes closed on the bed, her mood was complicated and bitter, and an indescribable fear surrounded her like a tide.

The author has something to say:

Q: One line describes the impression of each other so far.

Yu Zhen: I can't think of it.

Du Yu: seems prettyheartless. (looks very heartless)
