Raise evil spirits in an infinite game

The narrow rental house was crowded and messy. The middle-aged man rubbed his hair with his hands, raised his haggard face, and his red and swollen eyes were full of apology.

"Originally, this kind of thing shouldn't bother you, but you are his best friend, and he left such words..."

The young girl sat aside and listened quietly, her eyes were dark and her complexion was pale with short hair and ears.It was the end of summer, but she was wearing a slightly thick jacket, which was loosely wrapped around her thin and tall body. It didn't look bloated, but a little more cool and casual.

"It's okay, Uncle Tian. Maybe I can find some clues. People won't disappear for no reason. I can definitely find Xiaoran." When Lin Du came to Tian's house for the first time, he couldn't help sighing when he saw the downcast Father Tian. Back in school, I didn't expect this to happen.

Hearing this name, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank suddenly, he took out the cigarette in his pocket, lit it, and took a sharp puff.

"Go in by yourself...I'm very sorry, I don't want to see that room again."

Lin Du understood his mood, took the key and walked inside.

Turning the corner is an old wooden door. A musty smell comes from the room. The heavy curtains block the sunlight. The floor in the small room is full of messy footprints, which can only be vaguely placed on the study table. The photos and dolls on the bed found traces of Tian Ran's life.

The photo is a solo photo of the boy with a bright smile.

Lin Du picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

It is said that before Tian Ran's disappearance, he was once insane, chanted some curse games, hid in the house and refused to go out, afraid of light and mirrors, Tian's father was distraught, and took him to many hospitals, but his condition became more and more serious.

Their father and son are not natives of S city. After the divorce, Tian's father came to S city to work, and he had to go out to work during the day, leaving Tian Ran, who suddenly fell ill, alone and worried, so he locked him in the room, but who knew a living person He disappeared from the locked room.

The last thing he left was to show Lin Du something.

Stepping into the room, Lin Du couldn't help shivering.

It's cold.

Lin Du is naturally afraid of the cold, and is extremely sensitive to changes in temperature. The coldness in this room is not due to a drop in temperature. The sunlight seems to be blocked from the window, and the room feels uncomfortable from the inside out.

Lin Du really wanted to leave this room, but she also wanted to know what Tian Ran left for her.

Curiosity drove her to the table.

The table had been cleaned up, and the homework books were neatly placed on it.

The unfinished homework was written stroke by stroke in the graceful handwriting.

Tian Ran has an introverted and feminine personality, but he is extremely talented in numbers and is very good at solving complex math problems. What he left for Lin Du was an unsolved problem.

It's very much the way he does things.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Lin Du's lips, he turned the nib of the pen, thought for a long time but did not write down.

This was not because Lin Du couldn't solve it. On the contrary, the teacher had solved this test question in public in the last review class before the summer vacation.

There are two solutions to X, 285 and 631.

This is the only question that Tian Ran got wrong. If no points are deducted, it will be a full score.Tian Ran was very worried about this matter, and repeated it many times. His solution was 145 and 372. The teacher was wrong and he was right.

At the bottom of the notebook, there is a graffiti mark of a six-pointed star. Lin Du has seen this mark. When the two of them went to the amusement park, one of the password lockers was painted on by some naughty child. Tian Ran once said with a smile that it was magic cabinet.

Is the answer in it? Is the solution to the problem the password?Lin Du is not sure whether the judgment is correct... because maybe this is just an ordinary disappearance, but one thing that is sure is that Tian Ran is not crazy, at least he was in a normal mind when he wrote this topic.

Lin Du pushed back the chair, and when she got up, a strange feeling filled her heart, as if something was watching her.

From behind the window was a malicious gaze, like evil eyes.

Without thinking, she stepped forward and opened the curtains.

Nothing at all.

Tian Ran's room faces the sun, but the afterglow of the sunset seems to be completely blocked by the glass.

Lin Du frowned, and when he looked carefully, he found a huge non-human eye appeared on the reflection of the window, because it was so big that Lin Du didn't notice it at first.

It was so close to him, Lin Du's whole body was stiff, and his blood froze in an instant.

She wanted to escape, but her body couldn't move.

As it got closer, the thing seemed to be no longer blocked by the glass, and the angry pupils slowly came out of the glass.

"What did you find?" A voice came from behind, like throwing a stone into the water, breaking the calm. It was Father Tian, ​​who was standing by the door, as if he had just arrived.

What was in front of him disappeared in an instant.

Lin Du found that she could move, she covered her beating heart, leaned on the table and panted quietly.

"Are you OK?"

Lin Du shook her head, sweat dripped from her forehead, she was still immersed in the hallucination just now, her face was pale, and it took a while to say weakly: "It's okay, low blood sugar, it will be fine in a while."

"What did Xiaoran leave behind?"

Facing Ueda's father's expectant eyes, Lin Du was going to say the answer, but he hesitated when he spoke... This matter is very strange, and she must confirm it herself before telling others.

"It's the question he got wrong in the exam, and Xiaoran is very worried about it."

"Is that really the only way?"

"Yes, Uncle Tian, ​​you must take care of your health. I have nothing to go on first." Lin Du avoided his scrutiny.

Leaving Tian's house, the coldness all over his body finally disappeared. Lin Du took a long breath and walked towards the entrance of the subway. If he leaves now, he should arrive in time before the amusement park closes.

Father Tian stood by the door, looking at her back with cold eyes. He reached out and found the zipper on the back of his head, and gently pulled it off. The whole human skin fell off, and the face was completely replaced by another person.

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Father Tian answered the call.

"Yes, she has already left. The things probably don't belong to her, but she seems to have seen that...it's...well, boss, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away."

It's not time to get off work, and there are not many people at the subway station, so there is no need to queue up.

Taking out the ticket from the self-service ticket machine, Lin Du was surprised to find that there was a shallow mark in the shape of an eye on the back of his hand.

She wiped it vigorously, but the marks didn't disappear—it wasn't dust, although it was just a few simple strokes, but it looked too much like the huge eyes seen in Tian Ran's room.

Lin Du frowned, walked into the car with the crowd, sat on the seat, raised his arms and looked carefully.

This trace looks like some kind of sign.

Have you been marked by evil spirits?

Lin Du pursed his lips. It seemed that the unknown creature would not easily let him go if he accidentally touched something.

The skin on the back of the hand suddenly felt a scorching tingling.

Lin Du let out a cry of pain, but the people who got into the car together didn't seem to hear it.

Lin Du sensed something was wrong, stood up, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the person playing with the mobile phone beside him.

He stared intently at the novel on the screen, turning a blind eye to Lin Du, or he couldn't see it at all.

Lin Du felt a chill in his heart: Did she disappear?People here can't see her, will she disappear completely like Tian Ran?

Horror lingered in her heart, Lin Du didn't know what that thing would do to her, she looked around for abnormalities, and finally found something wrong in the car window.

The shallow reflection seemed to reflect another self. Lin Du inside was also sitting on a chair. She was wearing army green short-sleeved shorts, and she sat neatly without looking sideways.

That's definitely not me, even in the hottest summer, Lin Du wouldn't dress like this.

Suddenly, she seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, raised the corners of her lips slightly, raised a silver pistol from her hand, and aimed it at her head.

"Don't." Lin Du subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but was blocked by the glass.

"Boom—" Red blood sprayed the entire car window.

The moment she fired the gun, Lin Du felt a real pain, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

System prompt: Transmitting...

Novice Dungeon: [Mutated Worm Swarm]

Difficulty level: D grade

Task content: Survive for 12 hours or kill the female insect

There seemed to be auditory hallucinations in his ears, and when Lin Du woke up again from the darkness, his head hurt, as if someone had actually fired a shot there.

It's good that the head is still there.

The field of vision was pitch black, and Lin Du's hands and feet could not move as he was tightly bound.

With the light exposed from the gaps in the wooden boards above, one can vaguely see the rags and sundries piled up around the surroundings. The air is a little humid. It is preliminarily judged that the location is a closed place such as a basement or a storage room.

After gradually getting used to the darkness, Lin Du could vaguely see that she was wearing army green short-sleeved trousers, as if she had just seen it on the car window.

Could it be that he was kidnapped?The temperature here is not like that of S city, at least she doesn't feel cold at all dressed like this.

While he was thinking, there was a rustling sound behind him.

Lin Du turned his head and found that there were three people tied up not far from her, two of them were still unconscious, and another tall man in a black sweatshirt was trying to cut the rope with a sharp object in his hand. It was he who made the sound.

Seeing that she was awake, the man stopped his movements, stretched out an untied hand, made a gesture of silence, and pointed to the top of his head.

Lin Du raised his head and noticed the slight sound of footsteps above, the creaking of wooden boards, the rustling of dust, and even the sound of someone talking.

"We can't wait any longer, we must act first, and kill them before they mutate." The speaker walked around the room with a low and violent voice, and the words he said were shocking, and he didn't know what was on them People, even opened their mouths to kill.

"Quiet, it's just a group of newcomers. It's worth scaring you like this? They're already under our control, and they can't make any waves. We'll make plans after we wake up." The second voice was much more gentle, and sounded very young.

Lin Du had a bad premonition, the words "kill" and "control" that the two thugs were talking about couldn't be about them.

At this point, the voice of the man in black broke free from the rope and walked past her, stuffed the broken glass into her palm, and then quickly lurked in the blind spot under the stairs. less than.

Lin Du observed everything silently. The current situation is still unclear. The only thing that is certain is that they should be locked here by the people above the floor.

After a while, the cellar door above was opened, and a brown-haired man with a beard came down the stairs with a kerosene lamp. He was muscular and had a lizard tattoo on his left arm. Turn semi-automatic.

I'm a foreigner, I didn't expect Chinese pronunciation to be so standard.

He glanced at Lin Du who was awake, as if he wanted to say something, when he saw the broken rope on the other side, he immediately stopped and took a step back.

"Tang Xian, they're awake." His voice was rough, and his full beard trembled as he spoke.

Before the lingering sound of the shouting disappeared, the man in black who was tied just now quickly grabbed his leg. The bearded man was caught off guard and tripped and rolled down the stairs. The oil lamp fell to the ground and went out.

"Don't move, tell your companions to come down." This man was very skilled. Relying on his vision and terrain advantages, he managed to subdue the larger bearded man with his bare hands, and tightly choked his neck with both hands.

But this kind of admiration didn't last long, but in the blink of an eye, the bearded man let out a loud noise, and the lizard tattoo on his left arm came alive, protruding his head and biting the hand of the man in black.He took the opportunity to break free, twisted the arm of the man in black with both hands, and then stepped on the ground and held him down.

The man in black screamed and was tied to the pillar again.

Lin Du's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw. The tattoo on his arm came alive, and he could bite people... Something is really wrong here.

The shout attracted another person, the cellar door was opened again, and a thin man slowly walked down the stairs with a lantern emitting blue light.

Even in a suit without a tie, he looked well-groomed, fair skin with handsome features, and soft brows and eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses. Tang Xian put one hand in his pocket, with a relaxed expression: "It seems that you have already solved it."

"It's a little trouble, you don't need to intervene." The bearded man snorted coldly, panting heavily, and touched his bruised neck. It was a shame that he was almost strangled to death by a young newcomer.

"Why did you kidnap us?" Lin Du asked tentatively, her eyes fell on the lantern in Tang Xian's hand, and her eyes froze slightly: The material and texture of the outer skin of the lantern looked familiar... I hope she was dazzled.

"No, it's not kidnapping, little girl."

Tang Xian walked to the other side and checked the other two unconscious people one by one. Finally, he approached Lin Du, his eyes paused slightly, and he stretched out the back of his hand to press her forehead. His eyes were deep and gentle, but his tone was somewhat regretful: " Unfortunately, it's a bit hot and you've got an infection."

His fingers were slender and white, like a woman's well-maintained hands, but when they touched his forehead, it was as cool as a cold snake. Lin Du shrank his head back and hid.

Tang Xian didn't force it, and immediately withdrew his hand.Although his gaze was not as fierce as that of the savage's bearded man, he was calm as if he was looking at a cold object. These two people probably weren't very good people.

Enduring the severe pain in his arm, the man in black said loudly, "Who the hell are you and what do you want to do?"

The bearded man happened to be standing next to him, and he was a little upset when he yelled at him. He punched him in the stomach, grabbed his hair and pulled it towards him, and warned viciously: "Be honest, if you attract those monsters, you will be cut off!" tongue."

Seeing that the timing was just right, Tang Xian raised his right hand and gathered a cloud of ice mist, blowing it towards the other two unconscious people.

The frost of the ice fog covered their clothes and hair. A man and a woman woke up from the cold, and the whole cellar was in a mess.

"Ah, my God, where is this place, who are you, why did you kidnap me...Ah, ah"

"It's so cold, please let me go, my dad will give you whatever you want, please don't kill me."

"I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams, but I'll only say this once, I hope you won't miss it." Tang Xian clapped his hands, and looked at him with several pairs of eyes.Tang Xian turned back and smiled at his companion, "You go out and guard first, just leave it to me here."

"Then hurry up." The bearded man gave him a warning look, grabbed the broken kerosene lamp and walked away slowly.
