Chapter 75 Strange Talk Town (12)
This topic came to an abrupt end.
Ji Fenglin's answer was frank and straightforward, far beyond Bai Shuangxing's expectations——
She thought that according to his personality, he would answer more obscurely and restrainedly.
Hearing this sentence unexpectedly, she was clearly the dominant questioner. At this moment, the sun dazzled her eyes, but she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her ears.
They didn't continue their conversation, and Xue Zizhen and Wen Chuchu on the other side were also watching the movements of the paper figurines all the time, and when they saw them drifting away, they quickly got out of the wedding sedan chair.
With lingering fear in her heart, Wen Chuchu glanced into the distance to confirm that there was no danger, and hooked her finger to Bai Shuangxing.
This meant for her and Ji Fenglin to hurry up.
Ji Fenglin kept on opening the red curtain for her, and when Bai Shuangxing left the sedan chair, he said softly, "Let's go."
As a result, the chilling intent of narrowly escaped death swept over, and the atmosphere around him became tense again.
Those vaguely ambiguous conversations seemed to have never happened.
Bai Shuangxing was very clear in his heart, knowing that he should not be distracted now, so he nodded.
The figures of the three paper figurines disappeared among the red sedan chairs, and they quickly went to the opposite floor during the extremely short safe period.
There are also paper figures patrolling here, wandering around in the corridors and corridors.
After dealing with them for a long time, Bai Shuangxing gradually mastered some tricks, and became familiar with avoiding paper figurines.
I have to say that this mode is quite similar to many horror games she has played. It combines chasing and hiding battles, and cannot be discovered by enemy monsters.
And as long as it is a game, there must be a way to pass the level.
They were very fast, and after finding the pattern of the paper figurine's movements, they went all the way to the fifth floor and arrived at the door where Shen Chan was.
The door of the room was opened, and finally seeing the teammate she was thinking of, Shen Chan gave Bai Shuangxing a big bear hug.
The next step is to find Chen Sheng.
Bai Shuangxing clearly remembered the location of the two of them's rooms, avoided the paper man and went upstairs as before, and knocked on the wooden door in the middle of the sixth floor.
Chen Sheng had been guarding the door, and when the knock sounded, he immediately opened it with creaks.
The corridor is not safe, in order to avoid the paper man, Bai Shuangxing followed his teammates into the house.
At this point, they finally assembled as a whole.
The layout of this room is also simple and empty, with only a few dilapidated tables and chairs in the middle, and a large wooden bed in the corner.
Bai Shuangxing glanced around silently, and in the room, he saw three thin, yellow-faced women sitting on the edge of the bed.
She nodded politely and greeted them with a smile.
"You came from there, didn't you encounter any danger?"
After Shen Chan finished speaking, she saw Xue Zizhen's injury and frowned slightly: "Did the paper man do it?"
"It's not a big problem."
Xue Zizhen shook his head: "It was just scratched by a thin slice."
Bai Shuangxing did not forget Ji Fenglin's bloody mouth, and looked at Wen Chuchu who was not far away: "Chuchu, can I borrow the wound medicine?"
As she spoke, she pointed to her side.
Wen Chuchu's eyes flickered, and she fell on Ji Fenglin's hand beside her, and nodded without hesitation.
Before, they had to avoid the arrest of the paper figurine all the time, and they had no time to heal their wounds. Now that they entered the house, they finally had the opportunity to perform some simple treatments.
Xue Zizhen and Ji Fenglin stood aside to clean up the bloodstains, while Bai Shuangxing silently lowered his head and glanced at Chen Sheng.
It was obvious that he was terrified.
Through the window, when the Mind Eater appeared, everyone could see its hideous appearance.
At that time, Chen Sheng couldn't contact them, so he could only stay in the room with three strange women. Witnessing the monster eating people must have left a lot of psychological shadow.
Shen Chan touched his head and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, we can escape."
"The task time given to us by the system is to survive for one day."
Xue Zizhen avoided the three women in the corner and lowered his voice: "The task cannot be without risk. Within today, we will definitely be attacked by the Heart Eater."
Hearing this conclusion suddenly, Chen Sheng shivered.
Would that giant man-eating monster... target them?
"The scene presented by this mission is also very strange."
Shen Chan said, "Why is it a wedding?"
There are so many women who have been slaughtered wantonly.
"If it corresponds to reality—"
Ji Fenglin's analysis: "The women in the town probably suffered unfair or even cruel treatment."
Regarding the truth of this white night, everyone has different conjectures in their hearts.Bai Shuangxing listened quietly, with a trace of sadness in his heart.
Regardless of the truth, Ji Fenglin's words should not be wrong.
These narrow rooms and inescapable cages symbolize their imprisoned and oppressed lives; the Mind Eater is undoubtedly the source of all disasters, and the patrolling paper figurines are loyal to its minions.
"Let's solve the current problem first."
Xue Zizhen rubbed his eyebrows lightly: "How should we survive the hunt and kill of the Heart Eater?"
"If it can really lock one of us with scent," Bai Shuang said, "Escape and hiding are unlikely to work."
Since entering the white night, she has encountered a large number of ferocious ghosts.
Although Li Gui is murder without blinking an eye, it has a body similar to that of a human being, unlike the Mind Eater, which is so huge that it can rival tall buildings.
Under the oppression of the colossal monster, human beings are as small as ants, and just facing it will cause fear from the bottom of their hearts.
No one is exempt.
And it is even easier for the Heart Eater to kill them——
Just like a person wants to crush an ant, he only needs to stretch out his feet and use a little force, and the goal can be achieved without any effort.
Wen Chuchu raised her head suddenly: "How about...kill it?"
The monster looked ferocious and terrifying, and of course she felt a little apprehensive.
But Wen Chuchu's strength is hands-on, even though she knew there was danger, she still couldn't help being a little excited.
"I have observed that although the Heart Eater is huge, its appearance is similar to that of a human being. Its body should also be soft and can be directly destroyed by us."
The more Wen Chuchu thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and a faint light overflowed from his eyes: "The Heart Eater is a monster rather than a ghost, that is to say, it will die."
Shen Chan sighed.
She doesn't like fighting and killing. Although she doesn't want to admit it, it seems that this is the only feasible way to pass the customs.
——How can you survive the brutal and bloodthirsty monsters?
A: Just kill it and let it die first.
"That's right."
Xue Zizhen nodded: "This is a pure physical game."
She has seen countless white night challenges in the files, and she divides them into three types.
The first type is an intellectual task that pays more attention to rules and focuses on logical thinking, and the second type is a physical task that requires running up and down and fighting.
The third is their fusion and superposition.
There are no clues, no hints, and no problems for them to solve in this side mission. The only requirement is to survive.
Needless to say, it is the second type.
"How can I kill the Heart Eater?"
Bai Shuangxing thought for a while: "My [Burning Heart Fire] may be able to play a little role."
After speaking, feel a bit complicated. If they are just ordinary humans who have not been endowed with skills by Bai Ye, once they encounter a heart eater, they can only be like fish on a chopping board, struggling to meet a dead end.
Just like so many women in the building.
"My [Speaking Method], there is no way to directly affect such a strong ghost."
Shen Chan scratched her head: "If you can assist... maybe you can try."
Wen Chuchu's skill "Materialization" is only useful for ghosts; Ji Fenglin's "Feng" is also more of an auxiliary type.
As for Xue Zizhen, she entered Baiye for the first time and had no skills yet.
Not to mention Chen Sheng, as the key protection object of this mission, it is absolutely impossible for him to appear on the battlefield.
After thinking about it, only Bai Shuangxing's ability is the most aggressive. Everyone agrees that she will be the main force this time.
"However, even if you can launch a surprise attack on it with karma fire, the attack range is always limited."
After training, Xue Zizhen has a better understanding of tactics and more comprehensive thinking: "If you want to hurt the Heart Eater, you have to be very close to it—if you fail to kill it with one blow, you will enrage it and go berserk.Now, your situation will be very dangerous."
Bai Shuangxing also understood this and nodded slightly.
"So, it must be killed as quickly as possible."
Wen Chuchu pondered and said, "Where is the fatal part of the mind eater? The head? The heart? Or the neck?"
She had just finished speaking, and before she could analyze it, she suddenly heard an unfamiliar female voice.
"Are you... planning to deal with that monster?"
Wen Chuchu shut up immediately, and raised her head following the sound.
The one who spoke was a woman sitting by the bed wearing a wedding dress.
The woman was plain-looking, with long hair reaching her waist, and a few scars of purple color on her cheeks. She looked very embarrassed with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
When she spoke, there was a bit of scrutiny and vigilance in her eyes.
Bai Shuangxing smiled: "I just want to survive."
She paused, and decided to try to find clues from here: "Excuse me, do you know more about the Heart Eater?"
"We... We are locked here day and night, how can we know about it."
Another girl sitting on the edge of the bed raised her eyelids, unable to hide her fear: "You don't really intend to fight it head-on, do you?"
God.
She never expected that someone would dare to challenge that terrifying monster.
To put it mildly, this group of people are very ambitious and passionate; to put it bluntly, they are overthinking their capabilities and rushing to die.
With their strength, how could they defeat the Heart Eater?
This girl has a good heart. In order to let the group of people in front of her live longer, she tried to persuade:
"Do you know what happened to those who tried to escape and resist? None of them survived, and they were all eaten by the Heart Eater."
"I think it's dangerous too."
The woman with a bruised nose and a swollen face grinned: "Instead of rushing to die in front of it, why not follow me—how about we sneak out sometime?"
Listening to her tone, Bai Shuangxing guessed the origin of the scar on the other party's face.
Someone said before that if the paper doll finds out while escaping, they will be punished inhumanely. They will either be beaten severely or tortured to death on the spot.
The woman had apparently escaped once, or even multiple times.
On her face, neck and back of her hands, there were old and new wounds of different sizes.
Bai Shuangxing was curious: "How many times have you slipped by?"
The woman shrugged her shoulders with a nonchalant expression: "Four or five times, I forgot, I didn't count them carefully."
She raised the corner of her mouth: "Look, I ran four or five times, and I was able to save my life every time, which shows that as long as I follow my method, there will be no major problems."
"Azhi, why are you doing this?"
The middle-aged woman on the far left sighed: "Even if you can leave this building, the Heart Eater will still appear when you step out of the range - when it appears, it will never be like a paper man, just kicking at you."Kick kick kick."
Another girl beside her agreed: "It's good to want to run away, but...it's too dangerous."
As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die.
Anyway, she was doomed to die, and she would rather stay in this room and wait quietly for death than worrying about it all day long and losing half her life by being beaten by a paper man.
The two of them completely lost the will to survive, and the woman called "Azhi" wrinkled her nose, got out of bed and walked to Bai Shuangxing's side.
She didn't give up lobbying: "How about it? Do you want to try to escape with me? You actually want to kill that monster, what do you think? Even I know it's impossible."
Wen Chuchu answered subconsciously: "Why is it impossible?"
The other party was startled for a second.
"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible! Look, the Heart Eater is big and fierce. If you want to kill us, it doesn't take much effort."
Azhi said, "My plan is different. As long as the mind eater let down his guard at some point, we can get out of here safely."
A long time ago, someone tried to kill it.
With fire, with knives, with crowds of people, all failed miserably.
The loser, of course, also died miserably.
Bai Shuangxing shook his head: "The Edible Mind Demon is out of our sight, how do we know when it will relax its guard?"
This approach is not desirable.
If they blindly evade and hide, the moment they are discovered by the Heart Eater is the time of death.
Rather than passively waiting to die, Baishuangxing is more inclined to take the initiative.
"no way."
Azhi sighed: "Although the probability of success is very small...but this is the only way to survive, anyway, I have to try."
Shen Chan frowned, and asked her warmly: "In this building, how many people like you want to escape?"
"Of course there are many, no one wants to stay in this kind of place and die alone."
Azhi smiled: "There were more in the early days, but after many people died, everyone gradually gave up."
She paused for a few seconds, then silently glanced at the two women in the corner from the corner of her eye:
"You are newcomers, don't think they are timid. They came very early and tried everything possible to find a way to get out. As a result, one by one, all the friends around them were killed by the heart eater."
This is not timidity, but the despair of reality after being smoothed by repeated deaths.
Bai Shuangxing nodded silently, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
She finally understood why the monitoring system 520 showed an inexplicable smile when this side mission started.
Lifeless and ruthless, mind eaters represent overwhelming power, and here they find no shortcuts.
After inquiring about the general situation, they waited for Azhi to leave, and several people began to prepare for the next action.
Wen Chuchu thought about it: "The mind eater's lunch and dinner haven't started yet, we have two choices - noon and evening, when do you think it's better to do it?"
"Just at noon."
Xue Zizhen said in a deep voice, "Quick battle and quick decision."
Noon, exactly twelve o'clock.
There was silence in the building, and when the pointer on the clock pointed to the hour, all the women imprisoned here held their breath.
They understood that the Heart Eater was coming.
The muffled rustling of footsteps came from my ears, inaudible at first, then louder and noisier.
A huge figure appeared by the window. Through the window, he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, only his skin was gray and his face was covered with blood.
In one of the huts, several women of different ages curled up in a corner, staring at the scene outside the window, their bodies tense.
It seems that they are very lucky today.
Every time it eats, the Mind Eater will eat one to three people. Today, the first thing it pays attention to is the building opposite.
As long as there is no accident, it will only attack the people in that building.
This idea quietly floated up, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next second, they saw a black shadow covering their eyes.
——The behemoth turned its head slowly, and for some reason, it suddenly approached them!
The heart that was finally put down was suspended again, and the women trembled more and more, and there was no way to retreat.
Never, never be them.
Constantly praying in their hearts, they could hardly move under the fear, let alone make a sound.
The monster outside the window moved slowly, with its head slightly lowered, its eyes scanning back and forth near the corridor, as if looking for something.
It is too big, blocking almost all the sunlight, and the light in the room is almost none, making it even more creepy and depressing.
The youngest girl almost forgot to breathe, because she was too scared, she carefully held the wrist of the woman beside her.
The latter's lips were pale, and his body was as cold as ice. Even so, he still showed the posture that an elder should have, reaching out his hand in relief, and holding back the girl's palm.
In the silent darkness, everyone can hear the sound of their own heartbeat.
His eyes flicked over the window again, and suddenly, he stopped by the window.
The biting chill rushed straight to the top of their heads, and the sky was clear outside, but they felt colder than ever before.
For a moment, without exception, everyone in the room fell silent, and their hearts beat violently to the peak.
No way.
This time...
The giant scarlet eyes by the window didn't blink, and bloodshot eyes spread, overflowing with an extremely weird smile.
Click, click, click—
In the blink of an eye, the door of the room was crushed without hesitation, and two fingers stretched out from the door, impartially, and happened to grab the body of one of the women!
Everything happened so suddenly, someone screamed and screamed from their throats.
The captured young woman's eyes were blank, and before she could react, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
It's over.
This monster... will definitely kill her!
The shadow of death engulfed her completely, and the next moment, two fingers forcefully led her out of the room.
Hopeless.
Tears fell uncontrollably, and she desperately wanted to break free, but compared with a huge monster, the strength of human beings was nothing.
Why did this happen to her?Died in this kind of place, in the hands of this kind of monster for no reason...
She was so unhappy.
The instinct to survive kept her struggling, and she opened her mouth ruthlessly, biting the monster's tiger's mouth.
This kind of pain seemed innocuous to it, like a revenge, the fingers that imprisoned her became more and more forceful.
The pain hit, and the bones all over her body seemed to be squeezed and rubbed repeatedly. The woman was full of despair, unwilling to accept such a hasty death.
Her body was taken out of the room by her fingers, and she was about to leave the corridor soon. Her vision was blurred by tears. While crying, without warning, she caught a glimpse of——
The woman froze.
At this moment, there were ten deaths and no life, everyone carefully hid in the room, praying not to be discovered by the Heart Eater.
But in the corridor, why...
Will there be a figure?
The man moved very quickly, emerging suddenly from the room next to her, with a small knife in his hand.
The blade was sharp and cold, and it approached quickly in less than two seconds, and stabbed the heart eater in the back of the hand!
The knife was deeply pierced into the skin, and the monster suffered from pain. He threw the woman away and looked angrily at the other prey that came to him.
It was also a human female with short hair and a tall and slender figure, not to know the immensity of Heaven and Earth.
The facial features were slightly distorted, and the Heart Eater reached out to her.
At the same time, the woman who was thrown away rolled twice in the corridor and hit the wall with her back. Although it hurt, she finally stopped.
can't believe it.
In this case, someone rescued her.
The sun pierced her eyes, causing her to be in a trance for a moment, not knowing if she had a muddled dream, followed by a more intense worry.
The strength between the two sides is very different. In the past, all those who tried to resist——
Her lips trembled unconsciously, and she shivered in the sunny noon.
All those who tried to resist died.
The ominous premonition was overwhelming, and the woman suddenly raised her head.
To be honest, facing the Heart Eater at such a close distance, even Xue Zizhen couldn't help feeling dizzy for a moment.
If the astonishing giant monster had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers, even if it stretched out one of its fingers, it could easily take her life. For the first time in her life, she felt absolute oppression.
Don't panic.
Xue Zizhen concentrated, and the moment the monster reached out to her, he dodged the surprise attack.
Once touched by it, she will be crushed immediately like an ant.
She was extremely fast, and her body was as light as a bird. She ran and dodged in the corridor, and escaped from the pursuit of monsters time and time again.
Fortunately in the misfortune, although the Heart Eater is strong, its speed is set very slowly. For Xue Zizhen, it is just right to avoid it.
Not only humans, but even the paper people seem to be very afraid of the mind eater. When the monster appeared, they all lost their whereabouts and dared not show their faces.
She was unimpeded all the way in the corridor, and when she was about to approach the stairs, she suddenly felt a whistling gust of wind.
A thick and deep black shadow came from the sky, and landed at the entrance of the corridor not far from her. Looking up, it was a pale and swollen hand like a dead person.
——The Heart Eater stretched out his left hand, directly blocking the way.
Then behind her...
Xue Zizhen's heart skipped a beat, as expected, when he turned around, he saw its right palm approaching in a hurry.
The palm wind was like thunder, and it narrowly brushed in front of her. The bloody monster grinned, showing a malicious smile.
This is a cat-and-mouse laugh.
Seeing that it was about to stretch out its hand again, amidst the horrifying rage from all directions, unexpectedly, something was slammed into it at high speed, hitting its raised arm.
In Xue Zizhen's view, this was also unexpected.
Is there such a link in their plan?
The monster stared blankly at the same time as her, and after a while, they both turned their heads.
Seeing the scene over there, Xue Zizhen was stunned.
In the corridor, stood Azhi who had talked with them not long ago.
She was petite, standing at the corner of the corridor, as thin as a piece of paper.
She used all her strength to smash the wooden table in the room on the arm of the Heart Eater. It didn't hurt, but it attracted the monster's full attention.
Xue Zizhen could see that she was shaking.
Azhi and her looked at each other deeply, turned around and ran away without hesitation.
The heart eater was furious, and moved his legs to take a step closer to her. Under the loud bang, the monster gritted its teeth and waved its arms.
But this time, from the tall building opposite, another chair hit the back of its head.
Xue Zizhen was a little confused, turned his head to look, and saw a familiar face.
It was the long-haired woman who was in the same room when they first entered this mission.
In Xue Zizhen's impression, this woman cowered in the corner from the beginning to the end. don't know how many times told them, don't go out, just stay in the house obediently.
...Although when she threw the chair just now, she was so scared that she kept crying.
What happened in front of her was far beyond her imagination, for some unknown reason, Xue Zizhen heard her own heartbeat.
It was as if the blood was flowing again, and in the chilling murderous aura all over his body, an incompatible hue was born.
A tall building rose, followed by another door opened.
This time, it was a stranger who had never met her, picked up the wooden table, and smashed it directly on the side of the monster's neck.
Then the second fan, and the third fan.
The thin women may not be so bold and noble, most of them shivered with tight bodies, and immediately retreated into the room after throwing away their things.
However, they finally opened the door.
This is their weak but all-out resistance, just to save a few strangers who have never met——
Living in the shadow of despair, depression and death for so long, they have not forgotten to resist.
The fear, resentment and hatred accumulated for a long time erupted in an unexpected way.
The Heart Eater was in the midst of it, and let out a hoarse roar from the depths of its throat, and directly attacked one of the figures.
However, halfway through the action, it stopped suddenly.
... Something is wrong.
There is a scalding heat, spreading and breeding on its neck——
Someone is on its shoulders!
The Youlan Yehuo in the palm radiated hot bursts, Bai Shuangxing sat on the shoulder of the monster, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
In all fairness, in her original plan, everything would not go so smoothly.
Xue Zizhen was the best, and she had to attract the attention of the Heart Eater, while Bai Shuangxing was on the other side, ready for a sneak attack.
As long as it is a living creature, there are only two fatal parts, the heart and the neck.
The heart was on the Heart Eater's chest, and it would be easy to spot once it got close; after discussion, everyone unanimously decided that Ji Fenglin would use his skills to send her near the Heart Eater's neck.
This plan sounds simple, but it is not easy to implement——
Firstly, Xue Zizhen had to avoid the monster's attack all the way, and secondly, when Bai Shuangxing approached, he must not be spotted by it.
However, with a monster of the level of the Mind Eater, the sight, smell, and hearing must be far superior to ordinary people. It is very difficult to avoid being discovered.
When discussing beforehand, Baishuangxing was prepared to be turned around and fight back.
Unexpectedly, the development of the situation far exceeded her expectations.
Thanks to the doors that opened one after another, and the women who stepped forward, the Mind Eater was completely distracted and couldn't care about anything else.
When Baishuangxing successfully landed on its shoulder, the other party didn't even notice it immediately.
Monitoring System 520: ...
According to the basic setting, when Bai Shuangxing approached, the Heart Eater should have turned around quickly and attacked her.
Things, why did it become like this.
Bai Shuangxing thought for a while, but said nothing.
Perhaps it was because both it and she ignored the determination of human beings.
Before the Heart Eater's right hand roared towards him, Bai Shuangxing smiled silently.
In her mind, she had already clicked on a skill panel.
"Ding dong!"
"Do you want to use the skill, 'Burning Fire'?"
"yes".
The faint blue flames meander like satin, and in an instant, they sweep across half the sky between tall buildings.
The women in the room noticed the movement, some pushed open the door and looked at the sky in a daze, some stood by the window in astonishment, raised their heads so straightforwardly and boldly for the first time, and stared at the huge monster.
On the shoulder of the monster, a girl in a red wedding dress lowered her eyes gently, her pupils were pitch-black, reflecting the scorching fire.
The wind lifted her long hair, and behind her, a red shadow was looming, and the resentment belonging to the ghost was scattered.
The blue and blood red are intertwined and intertwined, illuminating her delicate and fair side face, Bai Shuang raised her hand, and gently held Qin Mengdie's cold palm.
The fire of karma twisted and circled from her palm, like a hanging rope, tightly bound the monster's neck.
When she opened her mouth, her voice was intimate, like a soft murmur, with a hint of killing intent that was bound to be won, as awe-inspiring as a blade.
Bai Shuangxing said: "Burning its neck off... my sister."
