【Haunted House】Shh
Lin Han got up at the usual time and waited in the dormitory for Jiang Xuchen, who was carried by Alfred.
The young master was worthy of being a young master. He was still sleeping on Alfred's shoulder when he entered the room, but he brought breakfast for Lin Han, two scallion rolls, a corn, and a cup of soy milk.
Perhaps because he was greedy after seeing Lin Han eating, Jiang Xuchen broke off half of the corn cob without any hesitation. Now he was sitting on a stool that was particularly high for him, chewing the corn one grain at a time, looking like a little golden rabbit.
"It's rare for me to get up so early, and I even brought you breakfast. You don't have to thank me." Jiang Xuchen mumbled, taking all the credit for Alfred's work and even finding time to talk to Lin Han. "Let's go after we finish eating. There's no need to delay any longer. I'll be relieved if you pass the assessment sooner."
"Otherwise, I'd be embarrassed if the people I lead always fail..." He muttered softly while chewing. When he looked up and met Lin Han's piercing gaze, he immediately straightened his back and didn't show the embarrassment of being caught. "I'm talking about you!"
Lin Han: “…”
He said seriously, can anyone consider his strength?
Others at least have the ability to protect themselves after drawing characters and entering the game. Some have even surpassed the level of ordinary people, such as Song Ziyi. But what can a "mortal" like him who has not obtained any skills do?
At this time, he is still a student who needs to study!
Did he want to fail the entrance exam?
Was this what he wanted, to be played around by Yin Yue?
Lin Han recalled Yin Yue's gaze, which had literally devoured him, and felt a dull ache in his ankle. It also ached in his chest. This was a work-related injury! It was a work-related injury!
But thinking about what Jiang Xuchen had said before, that the "Factory" dungeon was too difficult and that he should pick a simpler dungeon for him, Lin Han decided to pretend that he hadn't heard anything and not argue with the little brat for the time being.
Alfred continued to serve as a background figure, hardly speaking and paying much attention to Lin Han. He just fulfilled his duty of taking care of Jiang Xuchen.
After Jiang Xuchen finished eating the corn, he helped wipe his face and hands, and then held him in his arms as a silent means of transportation, just like when he came.
Alfred is probably a diligent and responsible guardian to Jiang Xuchen.
But to Lin Han, he was an irresponsible guide.
Lin Han: “…”
Forget it, don’t think about it. There’s no point thinking about it. I’ll still have to rely on Alfred’s help in the new copy.
Everything was ready. At the old place, Jiang Xuchen brought Lin Han to the door. When they opened the door, they saw the familiar bluestone wall with whirlpools like black holes arranged on it.
That feeling of uneasiness spread throughout Lin Han's body again, making him hesitate for a moment at the door.
Jiang Xuchen, who was held by Alfred, patted Alfred's shoulder, motioning him to put him down. After landing, he stomped his feet, as if to make his shoes more stable.
Then he walked up to Lin Han and looked up at him.
He was really small, and Lin Han had to lower his head to look at him.
Jiang Xuchen took the lead and stretched out his hand to him, winking playfully: "Don't be afraid! I'll take you in!"
Lin Han stretched out his hand and saw Jiang Xuchen grab his fingers and pull him inside. The child's body temperature was high and his palms were warm.
Just like the first time, Jiang Xuchen held his hand and Alfred followed behind him.
Lin Han didn't look nervous, but his heart was beating like a drum.
The further he walked in, the closer he seemed to the place where he accidentally fell last time. Even his breathing slowed down, and he couldn't help but look down at Jiang Xuchen's small steps, fearing that he would stop again and repeat the same mistake.
But Jiang Xuchen did not stop. He took Lin Han past the place in his memory and walked deeper into the place, stopping in front of an ordinary whirlpool.
I still can't see the end when I go further in, and I can't see the entrance when I go back.
Jiang Xuchen tugged at his fingers: "Here we are! This is the new one I chose for you! There will be absolutely no problem this time! Absolutely!"
The child's tender voice was like the sun: "If there is any danger, Alfred will help you, don't be afraid."
Alfred stood aside and nodded at Lin Han when he looked over.
Lin Han: "Okay. Then I will..."
Alfred seemed to have anticipated his question. He smiled slightly and pointed directly at the vortex in front of Lin Han: "Just reach in."
Lin Han nodded, and without hesitation he stretched out his hand towards the vortex. After touching what seemed to be mist, his first feeling was coolness, followed by a suction force coming from it, spreading from his fingertips upwards and wrapping around his wrist, pulling him in.
Jiang Xuchen was speaking from the back, his voice coming from near and then getting farther away.
"I'll prepare something delicious for you when you come back!"
He seemed to have named a few dishes, but Lin Han couldn't hear them clearly.
A strong feeling of weightlessness, the world is spinning.
-
When Lin Han regained consciousness from the darkness, he was a little dazed. It was dark all around and he could hardly see anything. But he soon found himself leaning against the corner of the room, with a wall on each shoulder, which hurt his shoulders.
The light suddenly appeared outside, and Lin Han, who was already used to the darkness, couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands. He squinted his eyes and looked towards the light. It took him a while to adapt before he could see the surrounding environment clearly.
He was in a room filled with junk. I say junk, but it could actually be said to be a room similar to a dilapidated house, with overturned tables and chairs, cardboard boxes and cloth strips piled on the floor, two half-cracked cups lying face down at his feet, and thick dust on the ground. He just moved his hands, and a cloud of black ash rose from the ground, so thick that he couldn't help coughing.
The lights outside the corridor were flickering, and Lin Han could vaguely hear some crackling sounds of electricity. She couldn't make it out clearly, but seeing how brightly the light was flickering, it wasn't impossible for it to go out the next second.
As soon as the thought passed, he fell into darkness again.
Lin Han: “…”
It is a good thing to keep your word, but it is best not to use it in this kind of place.
Just as he was about to stretch out his hands to get up, he suddenly heard a familiar prompt tone in his ears.
【Welcome to the new world, player Lin Han. 】
[The second round of the qualifying competition has begun, and the qualifying competition location copy has been confirmed - the college freshman entrance examination copy - Haunted House.]
[Player matching, player enters 10/10, matching completed. ]
[The only main mission of the copy: Become the last person alive.]
【Wish you a pleasant gaming experience. 】
Lin Han:?
The moment he was sure that he had heard correctly, Lin Han didn't even have the strength to get up.
He didn't know where he was. He only knew that there was no light in the room. The only light was in the corridor outside. The light in the corridor was also dark at this moment, so it was pitch dark in the room. He would fall down five times if he took four steps.
The name of the copy is Haunted House. It is either a haunted house in an entertainment venue or a house with ghosts. No matter which one it is, Lin Han will have a hard time.
Under such a premise and in such an environment, Lin Han was not a brave person, so he was always nervous. His first reaction was to get to a bright place as soon as possible. But now, Lin Han leaned against the corner of the wall, his lips trembling, and he forced himself to laugh out of anger.
Be the last person standing?
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?!
In a haunted house, out of ten people, only one can survive! Could it be him? Why on earth could it be him? It's obvious that it couldn't be him!
This dungeon is even more difficult than "Factory"!
Lin Han thought again about what Jiang Xuchen had said just now - "There will be absolutely no problem this time." Looking back now, it seemed like a joke.
His resentment was so great that he could turn into a ghost on the spot. Forget about being afraid or not. His blood was boiling at this moment, and he could go out and beat ten people with just a weapon!
The lights were on just in time. With the courage given by the light and the fresh resentment, Lin Han felt no pain in his waist or legs. He got up and rushed to the door. Just as he was about to go out, the lights in the corridor flickered and went out. He stood there holding the door frame with his hand and stopped rushing forward.
There was darkness in front and behind him. The central air conditioning in the house was still running, and the cold air poured down from above his head, calming him down a little.
After the "sizzling" sound of poor circuit contact, the lights in the corridor quickly lit up again. The light was reassuring, and Lin Han's tense nerves relaxed.
The doors of the rooms opposite were wide open, and when the light shone in, the floor was a mess, with the remains of tables and sofas, and dust floating in the air.
Lin Han took a deep breath, realizing that any "new and old grudges" would have to wait until he got out to settle them. He began to think about how he could pass the level - even though he knew that the possibility of passing the level was not great, since he was already here, he had to give it a try. He couldn't just stand there and die.
When Lin Han thought about the possibility that there might be ghosts in the haunted house, he took a step back into the house.
He was indeed a little impulsive.
An ordinary person like him who has no ability to protect himself may still have some hope in a copy without supernatural powers. However, if he really gets involved in something supernatural and makes a big noise, it will be fatal danger to him.
The two steps Lin Han took when he ran out just now were not a big noise, but not a small noise either. It was definitely an oversight.
Lin Han took a deep breath. His belated awakening made him a little nervous, and his breathing couldn't help but quicken.
He didn't dare to think about how to be the last survivor, didn't dare to think about other players, and didn't dare to think about how to deal with other players.
Lin Han was just comforting himself in this way, taking things one step at a time.
He fanned his cheeks with his hand and was about to return to his birthplace to wait quietly and find a suitable opportunity to obtain some other information when Lin Han glanced at him casually and froze on the spot.
The corridor was not long. There were three rooms on each side, all with their doors open. The lighting was entirely dependent on the dim chandelier in the middle of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, around the corner, stood a man.
The light was too dim, unable to illuminate anything, not even his face. All that was left was his long, thin shadow on the wall, the end of which merged with the deeper darkness.
Lin Han didn't even know when that figure appeared. When he came out just now, there was nothing in the corridor.
There should be... nothing.
Lin Han even held his breath, but his eyes were glued to that place. He didn't dare to blink, for fear that the other person would disappear as soon as he closed his eyes.
The lights in the corridor went out again, and the "sizzling" sound of electricity lasted for a long time before the lights came on.
Maybe it was an illusion, but Lin Han felt that the still motionless figure was closer to him.
He was panicked and afraid.
He was afraid that the lights in the corridor would go out again, and he was even more afraid that when they came on again, that figure would suddenly appear in front of him, facing his face.
He seemed to hear the sound of dripping water and smell the faint smell of blood.
His eyes were wide open, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, making his face and neck red. Bursts of heat rose up, only to be extinguished by the cold wind above his head.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind Lin Han and covered his mouth.
"Shhh."
