Chapter 120 The Day of Doomsday (Twenty-three)
After hearing Yu Guo's second half of the sentence, Liu Dong and the other two were still as shocked as ever.
Qiao Yuan could understand the feelings of these three people. After all, the legal channel should remind people to abide by the law, but Yu Guo seemed to be there to learn some tricks.
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, as if the air was no longer flowing.
Another player took a long time to find his voice, and laughed dryly, trying to liven up the atmosphere: "It seems that I don't watch enough legal channels."
However, he quickly realized the problem in his words, as he seemed to be eager to learn about such things.
Liu Dong was already a little tired from the fight just now, and now he had a headache after hearing the conversation between his companions and Yu Guo. After all, strictly speaking, they should be said to be interviewees of a legal program.
But Yu Guo's words did give him new ideas, so Liu Dong couldn't wait to clean up the scene.
Fortunately, after understanding the whole story, Qiao Yuan and the other three were ready to leave, which made Liu Dong feel relieved.
Because of Qiao Yuan's concern and Yu Guo's suggestions, he reciprocated and added: "I didn't expect that Shadow also sneaked into the base. I don't know how many there are now. You can keep an eye on it."
Qiao Yuan nodded.
The four of them had almost rested, so they did not continue to rest after returning upstairs. Sheng Guiye was obviously used to his post. After entering the room, he walked into the kitchen very freely, and Yu Guo had learned to order dishes from the limited dishes: "Yesterday's dish was delicious, I want to eat more."
Song Yanchi's eyes fell on Yu Guo, and his tone was already cold: "Did you really learn those things from the legal channel?"
Facing Song Yanchi's questioning tone, Yu Guo reacted as usual and even made a microphone gesture: "Welcome to the Rule of Law Online program. Let's learn the law, abide by the law, and popularize the law. Today we are going to talk about a case and..."
Song Yanchi: "..."
Legal Online is a national program in the real world. Even he, who rarely watches TV, has heard of it. And Yu Guo actually simply recounted the case she saw, and even remembered the ending words clearly.
Finally, Yu Guo threw herself into Qiao Yuan's arms as if she was sad. A pitiful voice came from Qiao Yuan's arms: "He actually misunderstood me..."
Qiao Yuan comforted Yu Guo and Song Yanchi with a few words, and finally calmed them down. However, he was more and more certain that Yu Guo had a problem. However, Yu Guo could still provide help at present, and even if he rashly broke up with him, he would probably go to other players to make up stories. Therefore, Qiao Yuan decided to hold back for now to avoid alerting the enemy.
After breakfast, Qiao Yuan and the others walked around the base again and got a general idea of the base. They also understood Hamos's position in the base. Even a child who had just learned to speak knew his name. Recently, in addition to teaching some basic subjects, the school in the base also told stories about him.
The other party is a mixed-race. Because his mother is from Country Z, he can speak fluent Chinese. He has been studying and working abroad in his early years and is a staunch atheist. It was not until he came back from a trip at the age of 30 that he suddenly began to believe in God and traveled around the world looking for traces of God. Hamos was originally smart. Even if he traveled around the world, it did not stop him from making money. He also adopted two children as the son and daughter of the saint, attracting a group of followers. He happened to arrive in District 9 before the doomsday. After the doomsday, he took the initial followers to establish a base in District 9, and distributed flyers and admission tickets to absorb those who received the admission tickets, and gradually expanded the scale of the base to its current level.
Qiao Yuan felt that what she heard sounded somehow familiar. She tried hard to recall it and found that it was somewhat similar to Liu Ke's experience. The only difference was that Liu Ke's ending was even more tragic.
But if this God is Him, shouldn't He be the one to end the end of the world, but rather to promote the end of the world?
Because Liu Ke and Hammers' experiences were similar, Qiao Yuan specifically asked the system about it, but the system replied without any emotion: [No relevant information obtained.]
[If players are really curious, they can apply through me and exchange their wishes for answers. ]
Qiao Yuan knew that the system was not lying. After all, she had seen from the previous dungeon that the other party's authority was limited. And the task of this dungeon was to catch the shadow. For other things, the system might not know as much as the player.
Of course, Qiao Yuan couldn't use his wish here, so he could only sigh regretfully: "It doesn't matter."
The system thought Qiao Yuan was talking to it, knowing that this was a human way of expressing understanding. But what it didn't know was that Qiao Yuan was actually telling it that it didn't matter, because the system was still there to block it.
A day passed quickly, and the four of them came back with food as before. When opening the door, they bumped into the neighbor next door, who complained that the fourth floor was cursed and why the young couple who had just died wanted to leave. Today, when she went out to send her children to school, she bumped into Liu Dong and others carrying two large suitcases, as if they were going to fly away.
As she was talking, she suddenly said as if she was talking to herself: "They have only been here for a few days, they won't want to leave, right?"
Although the volume was not loud, the four of them could still hear it clearly.
Qiao Yuan knew that this was because Liu Dong accepted Yu Guo's suggestion. The neighbor in front of him really didn't think about transporting the corpse, but just thought that the people downstairs were also sick.
Yu Guo, who made the suggestion, acted as if he was completely unaware of the situation in front of his neighbors.
Qiao Yuan could only pretend to be surprised and agreed with his neighbor before saying goodbye to his neighbor who was still reluctant to leave.
The four people's activities in the past two nights were almost the same, that is, eating, sleeping and keeping watch. Although the first two nights after entering the base were spent safely, Qiao Yuan and others did not relax their vigilance.
But this night was indeed not peaceful.
Qiao Yuan felt that she had just fallen asleep when she heard a sharp and piercing sound, like long nails scratching on glass, which woke her up suddenly from her sleep.
After she woke up, she quickly regained consciousness and found that Yu Guo beside her had also woken up. He, Song Yanchi and Sheng Guiye turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from.
It's the window not far from the bed.
Yu Guo was originally sleeping on the side close to the window, and at this moment he quickly opened the curtains -
There were two figures outside the window, two swollen and pale faces pressed against the glass, with several holes on their faces due to severe decay, and rotten flesh around the edges of the holes. The whites of the other person's eyes occupied two-thirds of the eye sockets and were staring at the four people in the room intently, with a smile on the corners of their lips, which should have been purple but now seemed to be stained with blood, and both hands were mechanically grabbing the glass in front of them, as if trying to find a way in.
The four of them had already recognized the two figures.
Yu Guo looked at Qiao Yuan and asked, "Is one of them the one you slapped?"
As soon as she finished speaking, one of the corpses stopped moving mechanically and subconsciously covered its face.
Qiao Yuan: “…”
That’s right, these two bodies are Liu Dong’s neighbors. However, according to the security team, these two bodies should have been cremated, but no one knows why they appeared here.
However, she had no time to think about the reason, because she didn't know if Yu Guo's words had aroused the corpses' anger. After putting down their hands that were covering their faces, the two corpses started to bang on the glass heavily, with such force that it seemed to shake the entire building. The noise was much louder than that made by Liu Dong and his group in the morning.
However, after the violent tremor, the entire building returned to calm, as if it had not been awakened by the sound.
This reminded Qiao Yuan of the dream he had last night, which also caused a lot of noise, but there was no other reaction in the building.
The window was not very strong to begin with, and it was shattered into pieces after two hits. As the night wind rushed in from the broken window, two corpses rushed in along with a strong stench.
Qiao Yuan and Yu Guo had already gotten out of bed, and the four of them moved out of the room, but the two corpses were just as fast, almost jumping over from the window.
Song Yanchi picked up the nearest chair and smashed it horizontally, causing the two corpses to stagger, giving the four people time to retreat.
Qiao Yuan was the first to run to the door, but it still wouldn't open, which made her think of what happened in her dream.
Is she dreaming?
This thought couldn't help but pop up in Qiao Yuan's mind.
All these doubts disappeared in an instant when they saw the two corpses running out of the bedroom. Qiao Yuan and the other three people fought with the two corpses with various tools at hand. In the end, the two corpses returned to the original path and jumped out of the window again, ending with a "bang" sound.
The four people watched the two bodies disappear into the night, and of course it was impossible for them to chase after them.
The night breeze blew away the foul smell in the house, and the four of them were finally able to take a break for a while.
Because they had seen blood on the mouths of the two corpses, and because Liu Dong's ring had fallen from their bodies during the fight, they guessed that Liu Dong and his group might have also encountered these two corpses, and that these two corpses were not just coming for them.
However, to be on the safe side, the four decided to wait until daytime to go downstairs to check the situation.
"Infected? Didn't those guys say they had already been burned?" Song Yanchi said with a little tiredness. The relationship between the four people and the two corpses was like an eagle catching chickens. The two camps took turns, which consumed a lot of physical strength. He felt that it was almost like singing and dancing in a whole concert with the microphone on.
And judging from the fact that they were able to attack these two corpses, it doesn't seem like the bodies were burned and the souls returned.
The one who answered him was Sheng Guiye: "It means it's not burned."
"First, there was not enough time, and second, there was no intention to burn it in the first place."
Yu Guo still had a smile on his face: "We can ask the security team, but whether they admit it is another matter."
Qiao Yuan knew that Yu Guo and Sheng Guiye were both right, and this was exactly what she was thinking.
If it was the former that Sheng Guiye mentioned, it would be fine, but if it was the latter, it would be much more troublesome.
Because of this incident, the four of them were all sleepless for a while. Fortunately, they were all energetic people, so they sat until dawn without feeling sleepy.
After daybreak, Qiao Yuan and his group went downstairs to check on Liu Dong and others.
Just as they thought, Liu Dong and his friends were also attacked by the infected. In order to protect his girlfriend who was stunned by fear, Liu Dong's hand with the ring was bitten in half, along with his arm. There were even two tooth marks left on the bone at the cut, which showed the force used by the other party when biting.
Only after the two infected people left did Liu Dong perform a simple bandage, which prevented him from falling into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
Although he knew that he could recover after leaving the dungeon, he didn't know when he could leave the dungeon, so Liu Dong decided to wait until dawn when there were more people around, then take the broken arm to the hospital to ask the doctor if it could be reattached. Therefore, he did not talk with Qiao Yuan and the others for too long.
However, Qiao Yuan could understand, so he quickly took the others away.
After returning to the house, Qiao Yuan had decided to inquire from the security team, and the other three naturally agreed with her opinion.
Sheng Guiye went to the bathroom to wash his hands first, and then went to cook. After discovering that Qiao Yuan seemed to like people who could cook, Song Yanchi also became interested in cooking, so after washing his hands, he couldn't wait to follow into the kitchen, wanting to learn from her. After learning, he could cook for Qiao Yuan whether in or outside the dungeon.
However, Sheng Guiye obviously didn't want others to see him cooking, so he didn't want Song Yanchi to enter the kitchen. Even though Song Yanchi said that he could help, Sheng Guiye didn't change his mind.
Song Yanchi still didn't give up: "I can pay the tuition!"
Sheng Guiye said calmly: "I'm not a professional teacher."
Song Yanchi: "It doesn't matter. I don't want your teaching certificate either."
Hearing Song Yanchi's words, Sheng Guiye glanced at him coldly, still showing no intention of moving away from the body blocking the kitchen.
Yu Guo obviously enjoyed watching the fun. He quickly washed his hands and sat down on the sofa, watching with great interest the stalemate between Song Yanchi and Sheng Guiye at the kitchen door.
Qiao Yuan was the last person to enter the bathroom. She had just washed her hands at the sink and turned on the faucet when she saw the mirror hanging on the wall.
And the mirror reflected her image——
Her long hair was tied up high, with a few strands of hair falling by her ears. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be a little surprised.
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Although there is a mirror for washing face in the bathroom, when Song Yanchi mentioned that he had encountered a situation in the previous copy where as long as his figure was reflected by the mirror, he would be killed by the ghost in the mirror, the four of them had already taken down and smashed the mirror after discovering that there was no rule not to move things in the room. So what's the matter with the mirror on the wall now?
After realizing something was wrong, Qiao Yuan turned around and ran straight towards the door. However, at this moment, she found that the door had closed silently without her knowing when.
She twisted the doorknob hard, but the door didn't budge. Through the thin door, she could still hear Song Yanchi and Yu Guo quarreling with each other again. However, no matter how Qiao Yuan knocked on the door and called their names, Song Yanchi and Yu Guo didn't respond.
Qiao Yuan glanced at the mirror from the corner of her eye, and the figure in the mirror had already poked his face out of the mirror. The other person looked exactly like her, and the original surprised expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by a sneer at the corner of his lips, and there was not a trace of human emotion in his beautiful black eyes.
Now Qiao Yuan understood why the company didn't allow her to take on some dark-themed advertisements at the time. It really made people feel a chill down their spine.
It was the first time that Qiao Yuan saw such an expression on his face. He felt very delicate, but he still asked, "Who are you, an infected person?"
"shadow?"
He really wanted to know the other person's identity, but he also wanted to delay time.
Although the other person had a mouth like Qiao Yuan, it was unclear whether it was incapable of communication or because he had no intention of doing so. He just stared at her closely.
The opponent was also very fast. When Qiao Yuan was asking, he had already stretched out his entire upper body. Then he suddenly exerted force, and his entire upper body suddenly became as long as a snake's body, and pounced directly towards Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan subconsciously dodged, but the monster in front of her, which looked like a snake and her, had a very soft body. When it was about to hit the wall, it turned a corner and pounced on her again.
Although Qiao Yuan managed to escape again this time, the bathroom was too narrow and the man's body was getting longer and longer in the mirror. Qiao Yuan knew that if he continued, he would soon be at a disadvantage.
Her sight fell on the mirror, which was still releasing the bodies of monsters. As long as she rushed forward and smashed the mirror...
Qiao Yuan ran towards the mirror, and just when she was about to raise her hand to hit it again, she saw from the mirror that the monster had turned around and appeared behind her, its jaw opened wide as if it had been removed, and it bit her neck directly, but she had already punched the mirror first.
But when Qiao Yuan's fist fell, what he touched was not the cold glass, but the hard wall.
As severe pain came from his hand, both the mirror in front of him and the monster reflected in the mirror disappeared.
When Song Yanchi and the other two heard the noise and ran towards the bathroom, they saw Qiao Yuan standing there, staring at his hands.
