Chapter 15 Pain and Flying
Lin Han was sighing in his heart, and he was indeed feeling a little low, but the copy did not intend to give him too much opportunity to feel sad about himself.
Everyone knew that the woven bag contained the 15th player they had never met, but there was no time to get close to check the cause of his death because the female butcher had already arrived.
Her heavy footsteps were a little hurried, and Lin Han inexplicably heard a sense of pleasure in them, as if something was driving her to speed up, as if she would miss it if she was a little late.
And just as Lin Han guessed, the moment the female butcher appeared at the door of the room, she had an almost cruel smile on her face, with a terrifying arc at the corner of her mouth revealing her sharp white and dirty teeth. It was the arrogant confidence of a bloodthirsty hunter who had caught the scent of her prey.
Lin Han's heart was beating in his chest, so loud that it almost rang in his ears. He immediately realized the reason why the female butcher behaved like this.
All 15 "new butchers" who came to the factory to apply for jobs needed to be present before dusk. This was an established fact that she had informed them of in advance. If they were not all present, she would have a reason to get angry, and it would depend on her mood how many people she would kill.
It's a very simple plot trigger, but it's extremely unsettling at this point.
At least this was a reality that made Lin Han very uneasy - compared to having one's life taken away by a cold machine, the human wisdom and oppressive power possessed by the humanoid monster would bring deeper fear to those who encountered it.
The female butcher even held her knife in her hand, with the blade and handle stained with fresh blood. Perhaps she had just come from her job and was looking forward to having some fun with them.
Even Lin Han could see her happiness, but the next second, when she caught a glimpse of the woven bag on the ground, the female butcher's smile instantly disappeared. Instead of lowering her head, she raised it and looked at everyone in the room with an annoyed look.
Lin Han noticed that she was mouthing numbers: one, two, three... fourteen.
Finally, her gaze returned to the ground in front of her, and she reluctantly said "fifteen" silently, announcing the end of the happiness she had excitedly rushed to.
In this situation, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, even dead players are counted in the number of people. The factory does not care whether the "novice butchers" who come to register are dead or alive.
If the last group of people who came back had not found the unfortunate player, there might be more people suffering from misfortune now.
Although Lin Han was sitting in the corner with Yin Yue protecting him, there was no guarantee that the female butcher would rush up and chop him with a knife. Given Lin Han's luck, this was not impossible.
However, the reason why I said "almost" was because Yin Yue was still calm and composed, or perhaps it could be said that he was under no pressure. While the female butcher was counting and hoping that there would be one less person to act, he was holding Lin Han's hand and carefully helping him to straighten the gauze that was slightly turned up.
Yin Yue: "It must hurt."
He spoke softly in the silence.
It was something he had known for a long time, and he had been concerned about Lin Han's injury for a long time, but when he said it from his mouth at this time, it was so clear that everyone could hear it.
Lin Han: “…”
Maybe Yin Yue was too powerful to care, nor was he worried that the female butcher would be attracted by his voice, but Lin Han did care. He was afraid that his life would be in danger. Most of the time, Lin Han felt that Yin Yue was clumsy and had no idea what to do or what not to do, but it turned out that he was worrying too much.
After counting the number of people, the female butcher found that she had not met the basic conditions for hacking and killing people indiscriminately in the room, so she squatted down and turned over the woven bag.
Her body was too big and easily blocked the woven bag. Lin Han was far away and could only hear the sticky sound of flesh and blood being stirred, and the teeth-grinding sound of a sharp blade breaking bones. The nervous mood and tense nerves made Lin Han feel a little nauseous, and the wound on her wrist seemed to be throbbing with burning pain.
After all, he is still an ordinary person, and an ordinary person cannot accept a "monster" desecrating a corpse in front of him.
At this moment, Yin Yue held his wrist and patted his arm gently. Her eyes were soft, like honey that had been condensed for many years. She whispered, "How can I comfort you? Tongtong Feifei?"
Yin Yue blew a breath on the back of his hand.
His fingertips were warm and hot, but they miraculously soothed Lin Han's trembling hands, and the pain that seemed to be oppressing her mentally was also alleviated a lot. When the warm breath blew over, the pain seemed to be blown away and became relieved.
Lin Han's hands stopped shaking.
What is "pain pain flying"? It sounds like words to coax a child, not something Yin Yue should say to him. It is even a bit embarrassing and ridiculous, but in the strange eyes of others, Lin Han suddenly felt a little relieved.
It has to be said that Yin Yue had indeed helped him a lot, even though he had a weird personality and weird behavior, and he always touched him and spoke strangely, as if he couldn't tell the occasion from the right one, and it seemed like he had some improper thoughts about him. But compared to the other future where he had to fight alone and would most likely have died tragically under the machine, Lin Han felt that this was still acceptable.
Yin Yue is just a somewhat strange person, but he is not a bad person.
Lin Han forced a smile at him, but he was still a little shy to speak, so he could only say "thank you" silently.
Seeing his mouth shape, Yin Yue was obviously stunned for a moment, and the next second, he smiled again. The joy and happiness in his eyes and eyebrows could be felt at a glance.
Lin Han felt a little uncomfortable, but also a little bit happy. At least the smiling Yin Yue looked more reassuring than her previous gloomy face.
However, it was obviously "wrong" to do such a small trick in such a serious and dangerous situation. Even the New World itself wanted to correct this incorrect atmosphere. The sound of "crackling" bones interrupted everything, and everyone looked towards the door.
The butcher sheathed her knife and tucked it behind her. When she turned around, several new streaks of blood splattered on her face. She casually wiped them away and said, "He's dead, so the new employee can only be chosen from among the fourteen of you. Come on, follow me to see the factory manager."
The female butcher turned around, picked up the woven bag on the ground, and dragged it as she walked forward.
The originally intact woven bag was torn open with a big hole, but now she was holding the top in her hand and dragging it forward, so not much was exposed. Only the hideous wound could be vaguely seen from the bloody gap. The limbs under the bag were twisted and the shape could not be easily distinguished. Large streams of black blood flowed out of the bag, leaving a horrifying trail on the ground.
Even though he knew it was a game, he couldn't quite accept it, but Lin Han still bravely followed the main group. Even though he sometimes had to step on bloodstains to avoid the more dangerous sewage, he endured it. However, he couldn't help thinking that after he got out, he must report the problems with their game to the New World officials.
This is not limited to 18X. Players who are immersed in this environment for a long time may suffer from emotional loss and psychological abnormality.
Yin Yue was still in a good mood. He asked Lin Han if he needed help walking. Considering that if he fell and reflexively supported himself with his hands, it would bring more serious consequences, Lin Han did not refuse.
Yin Yue handed her crutch to him. Lin Han took the black crutch with his relatively intact hand. It was a bit heavy and felt cold, without retaining any of the warmth of Yin Yue's hand.
He used his good hand to lean on a crutch and let Yin Yue support him as he walked forward. Perhaps it was a psychological effect, or perhaps it was real, but Lin Han did not fall and walked very steadily.
But he was a little confused. Yin Yue walked very steadily and did not need the help of a cane at all, so he had no idea why he had to hold this cane in his hand all the time.
Lin Han looked down and began to speculate as if he had a professional disease. Putting aside the unlikely reason of "pretending", perhaps the crutch was Yin Yue's weapon, such as a sword in the cane. Lin Han thought aimlessly until the team that had been moving forward stopped.
The female butcher walked in the direction that Lin Han and Yin Yue had walked before, but for some reason, Lin Han and the others did not find the place where they finally stopped. It was as if this was the only place that did not appear in their sight when they were exploring.
Perhaps because of the potential danger, the butcher knocked on the door in a whisper: "Director, I'm bringing a new hire for an interview."
She spoke very quietly, the room was quiet, and no one answered her.
The female butcher asked again without getting tired of it, and this time there was an answer from the room.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
The door, which had been clearly locked and not opened before, had opened a crack at some point. It was pitch black inside, and a pair of wet eyes licked them all from head to toe through the crack.
Lin Han got goosebumps again.
