The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

The half-hour break ended quickly, and everyone except Saul was scrambling to team up with David.

David selected three people to form a team, and was led to the fourth floor by the blonde Leni.

Before leaving, David approached Huangmao and said that he felt that Huangmao had both guts and brains, so it would be better for them to work together to help others escape from the dollhouse.

Huang Mao refused: "Helping others is the duty of a savior, but some people belong to bears, do you understand?"

Probably a misunderstanding caused by cultural differences, anyway, David has never seen anyone demeaning himself so much.

"You Huaxia people are so humble." He could only answer in this way, to save others' respect.

"The humility of Chinese people is not self-deprecating. I'm not lying from the bottom of my heart." Huang Mao kicked over the steps.

"……Ha ha."

David smiled awkwardly, turned back to the team, and climbed to the fourth floor under the leadership of the blond Lenny. There were also teams of three and two teams going to the fourth floor. A total of three teams were on the fourth floor.

The staff leading the yellow-haired three returned to the black sheep and walked to the doll house on the third floor. There was also a team of four on the third floor.

There are two men and two women in the team of four, and two of them have the identity cards of staff members, but Black Sheep said that the identity of the staff members is not a life-saving talisman. In fact, they are also tourists, and they cannot solve the story of the doll or escape the doll house in time. will die tragically.

The Miss Red Shoes who died in the last round was also a staff member, and there were also staff members in the first round of the dead list.

The team stopped at the door of a room, and did not dare to open the door to enter the room. Seeing Huang Mao and the others passing by, they couldn't help talking: "I have observed you, the last round of doll houses will end soon, and there is still time to go to the first floor. I know you are very strong...can you save us?"

Cen Jin: "What's the name of this doll's house?"

The staff member who took the initiative to strike up a conversation spoke again: "Slanda's dollhouse."

Her ID badge hung on her chest, and her name was Julia.

Before Cen Jin could reply, Julia's companion urged impatiently: "Praying for his help is worse than praying for the other two teams upstairs not to be self-righteous, and not to delay David's retreat. I hope he can solve the problem on the fourth floor as soon as possible." trivial matters, and come down to rescue us."

"David promised to help us, as long as they finish solving the fourth floor."

Cen Jin: "It seems that your companion does not need my help."

"Take care of yourself, Huangmao." The male staff member opened the door, smelling the strong bloody smell inside, his face changed drastically, and he said the opening line with a strong fear mentality: "Welcome to the Slanda people's dollhouse."

The other two entered the room with hesitation. Julia was still stranded outside the room, with her arms folded in resistance, her fingertips trembling, and she looked at Cen Jin stubbornly: "They can't represent me, I'm asking for your help, please If you save me, I am willing to give you a considerable reward."

Cen Jin hesitated: "...How much can I give?"

Julia gestured: "One hundred thousand euros?"

Cen Jin: "Deal."

Julia was a little dazed, why did she rush to make the promise with only one hundred thousand euros?Even though she had to scrape together a hundred thousand euros to get it, she was confident that her life wasn't that cheap, so why didn't Huangmao raise the price?

She may not agree if she lifts it, but she is happy.

Julia shook her head, threw out her contradictory thoughts, swallowed her saliva and whispered to them: "My house is very cruel, and your house is also very cruel. Two of David's team are senior book fans, memory And the analysis ability is very strong, actively avoid the two most dangerous dollhouses on the third floor, namely 'Slander' and 'Siren Head'.

Those idiots—" She pointed at the three people who entered the room, gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't know they were used as bait by David's group, and they foolishly trusted me, and even asked to enter the 'Slanda' doll house, it's simply seek death. "

Cen Jin: "Slanda?"

"Slenderman. A main monster in a horror legend that suddenly spreads among the people. It is specially aimed at children. There are many overviews about it on the Internet. The basic image is a tall and pale man in a suit. Tentacles, without facial features, attack and kill children for no reason, with cruel means.

Later, it changed from a folk horror legend to an urban legend, and the most popular urban legend every year must be the Slanders. "

Julia shook her head, frowned, hesitated for a moment and said: "Of course no one believed it at first, and the photos and videos posted by Po were all identified as fake, but it was widely circulated among children, and various special groups were established. Posts and forums, some eleven or twelve-year-old children were bewitched, and suddenly killed children of the same age, saying that they were loyal to the Slanders and offered sacrifices... Anyway, the Slanders appeared suddenly and were very evil Horror tales."

She emphasized: "Just like Siren Head, it is quite popular because it satisfies human curiosity."

Slenderman, also known as Slender Ghost, Cen Jin knows about it.

"Understood, thank you for letting me know."

"It's just cooperation."

The companion urged Julia in displeasure, and Julia hurriedly told Huangmao: "There is a website that records many urban legends, including Tom the Candy Man, the Witch's Room 666, Siren Head, and the Slendermen. The grapevine says that monsters are real, and the founder of that site knows why.

Some also said that the author of "Shangmiyuan" has a close relationship with the founder of the website, or that the inspiration for the series of books came from the website.

It is also said that the horror legends that have flowed out in recent decades all originated from this website... I don’t know why I suddenly told you this, probably because the monsters in the doll’s house reminded me of that website, and I always feel that there are no such coincidences in the world matter. "

"Julia!" the companion shouted angrily.

Julia shivered and hurried into the house.

The companion glared at Huang Mao and the others viciously, and slammed the door heavily.

Saul: "Julia trusted us too much, dragged everything out, and didn't hide it. On the contrary, the other three were too hostile to us, and they didn't look good all the time. How did these four get together?"

Cen Jin shrugged: "Who knows?"

He turned around and walked towards the doll's house deep in the corridor, Ding Yiqing was waiting for him in front, the two walked side by side, and the black sheep fell behind.

Saul repeated the question and asked the black sheep if he was not curious, and got a Buddhist reply from the black sheep: "Even if there is a problem, we don't know where the root cause is, what is the nature of the problem, it is better to wait until something happens and then prescribe the right medicine .”

"You think there's something wrong with Julia, too?" Saul said in a low voice.

"A dollhouse can accommodate up to four people, and there are only three in our team. If Julia really wanted our help so much, there would be countless opportunities to join our team along the way."

But she didn't mention this topic the whole time, isn't it strange?

"The yellow hair still jumped into the pit?"

The black sheep had a strange expression: "I think it's because of [-] Euros."

Saul: "...it is possible."

Cen Jin and Ding Yiqing stopped in front of a door, and the black sheep quickly stepped forward and opened the door, carefully poking his head: "Welcome to the doll of 'Siren Head'—" The voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the empty space in front of him in astonishment. Woodland greenery.

Saul pushed the black sheep away and stepped into the house: "Fuck, is this indoor?"

Looking back, he saw ordinary wooden corridors and carved walls, a room door that only allowed two adult men to pass side by side, but inside the door was a large green field and endless gray sky, and the four of them were standing on the green field. The iron gray road in the middle.

At the end of the road is a large black iron-like forest with withered leaves and a faint gray mist covering the tops of the trees. The sky is covered with gray-white ash, which is reminiscent of ashes.Tall electric poles and rows of wires loomed in the gray mist, and the surrounding fields were silent and lifeless, not to mention the shadows of birds, not even the chirping of insects.

"I entered the portal."

The gap between the outside and the inside of the door is too great. How did the dollhouse do it?

Black Sheep closed the door, nervously said: "What do you know about Siren Head?"

Huangmao: "The height is about 15 meters, which is about 50 feet. He is skinny and has a body like a mummy. His feet are combined and his hands are vertical. He can disguise himself as a telephone pole. There are multiple horns on his head. There are mouths and teeth in the horns. Imitates the voice of others, likes to attack and eat humans.

According to the archives, Siren Head's diet is human, and it does not attack other animals. "

"You know it very well?" Black Sheep is a little different, he thinks Huangmao doesn't know anything about popular monsters in Europe and America. "What file records?"

"I don't know what record it is, but I probably saw it while browsing the Internet. I really like Siren Head."

"What's so good about such a ferocious monster that targets humans?" Saul muttered puzzledly, and then asked, "How do we find dolls now?"

Cen Jin looked at the grass in the distance and observed the environment: "This house has a large area, so it's a bit difficult to manage."

At this moment, Ding Yiqing said, "There is a cabin at two o'clock in front of the right."

Cen Jin looked in the direction he suggested, but there was no cabin in sight due to the gray mist and black iron-like trees. Since Ding Yiqing disdained lying, he chose to believe it.

"Walk."

A group of people followed Cen Jin to the direction of two o'clock. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they felt that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the ashes floating in the air were getting denser and denser. The whole body was soaked in the fog, and they finally approached the woods.

Looking at the woods from a close distance, I feel even more panic, because the area of ​​the woods is even more vast and endless. Every big tree has at least two adults around it with open arms. The tree is so tall that it reaches into the sky. muffled sound.

The leaves piled up on the ground, soaking the ankles, and when they were pulled out, there was a thick layer of rotting leaf mud on the soles of the feet, which smelled very disgusting.

After walking another hundred meters, they finally saw a dilapidated log cabin. Heiyang and Saul ran to the cabin and stomped their feet, vigorously rubbing off the thick leaves and mud on the soles of their shoes.

The two inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ding Yiqing who was holding a big black umbrella. Not only was his body dry, but also the shoe surface was spotlessly clean.

Ding Yiqing put away her umbrella, and passed Heiyang and Saul without looking sideways. The two of them shivered, and felt that the air Ding Yiqing passed had become bone-chillingly cold.

Pushing open the door of the wooden house, the structure inside the house is ordinary and warm, the fireplace is still burning, and the room is very warm.The ground is not stained with fine dust, but the gaps in the walls are black, and when you reach out to wipe it, it is covered with black dust.On the right side of the living room is the kitchen and the dining table. Fresh meals are placed on the table, but the fan above the head is covered with dust.On the left hand side of the living room are desks, bookshelves, etc., and tape recorders, pens and notebooks are placed on the desks.

Cen Jin picked up the tape recorder, his palms were instantly covered with dust, and he tried to play it, but there was no battery, so he charged it first, then opened the notebook, and saw that half a page of letters had been written, the last word was not finished, and the pen was full of ink, obviously not The ink was broken but other accidents interrupted the owner of the log house to continue writing.

Because it was French, Cen Jin didn't understand it, so he gave the notebook to Ding Yiqing for him to translate.

Saul: "I always think wooden houses are weird, do you think so?"

Black Sheep: "The food is fresh, the fireplace is burning, the ink is full, and I am still working, but I don't feel any life. The ground is cleaned but the walls are full of dust, and there are spider silks on the fan and corners. This looks very strange, the wooden house The first half is dirty, the second half is clean, half lively, half dead, the sense of division is very serious."

"There are even weirder ones." Saul looked around the wooden house, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, beating his palms, "It's the windows! The wooden house doesn't have any windows, not even a skylight, which doesn't fit the structure of the house."

The black sheep wiped the dust from the cracks in the wall and said, "It's to separate the ashes floating in the air outside. Where did these ashes come from?"

Cen Jin: "Ash floats into the gaps of the wooden house, and accumulates in the gaps, making the walls and roof dirty. Unless it is cleaned all the time, it will soon be polluted. There are signs in the house that someone lived here before, more than one person, maybe a family , living here for a certain purpose, an accident happened one day, and he fled hastily.”

"How do you know that the people who live here are there for a certain purpose?"

"Let me talk about the 'Siren Head' series of stories you know."

Black Sheep and Saul looked at each other and said to him: "The series of books about Siren Head is called 'Imitation and Camouflage of Ancient Creatures'."

"Zizi... On January 1, my wife and I came to the restricted area. We wanted to see that mysterious creature... Zi."

A sudden sound sounded, and everyone looked back, only to see that it was a tape recorder that was fully charged and played automatically.

Cen Jin had a strange expression on his face, and felt that this passage was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
