Chapter 32 A Doll's House (VI)



Everyone couldn't even stand steadily and quickly grabbed the nearest object.

The house was shaking more and more violently, tilting more and more to the left.

Zhou Zhou held on to the window tightly with one hand and held on to Shirley who almost fell out of the window with the other hand.

Shirley was just about to touch Zhou Zhou's head, but suddenly she swayed and half of her body almost fell out of the window. Fortunately, Zhou Zhou grabbed her in the first place, and Shirley also reacted in time and immediately grabbed the window frame closest to her on the other side. Then, when she leaned to the other side next time, she slid back into the house and hugged the furniture in the room.

After shaking it a few times, everyone discovered that they and the dolls thrown around randomly were the only ones shaking left and right in the room, while the furniture and other objects did not move at all. This gave everyone something to stabilize themselves.

The windows on the first floor are very large, with a total of six windows on both sides, and the wall surface is very narrow. Many dolls have flown out of the windows and fell outside.

"What's going on?" Keli, who had just been kicked down by Shirley, happened to grab the table leg while it was shaking. Now he was lying on the ground, hugging the table leg and asked loudly.

"There's something outside." The Sharp family was on the other side, and they could also see the scenery outside the window. It was all white outside at this time, but the light white mist seemed to move, and they could even speak.

When Eddie was shaking, he didn't hold on firmly and ended up sliding down the ground to Zhou Zhou's feet. He quickly grabbed Zhou Zhou's legs and stood up along his legs.

He held onto the window with both hands, and even at this moment he still had the mood to look out the window left and right.

"Come to hell with me~"

Eddie grabbed the window with both hands: "This line is too funny, and why does it sound so familiar."

He stretched his head and looked out, and finally saw what was outside clearly.

"Shit! It's a ghost! What a big ghost!"

The ghosts outside moved slightly to the side, and Eddie's vision was finally no longer foggy. The translucent ghosts seemed to become more transparent as they grew bigger, and they were huge. Compared with them, the house was almost up to the ghosts' waists.

Three large ghosts grabbed the top eaves of the house with both hands and swayed back and forth. The house was like a toy in their hands.

The ghosts also look very familiar. They are the three players who died at the beginning of the dungeon because of crushing the eggshells.

As soon as he heard the ghost, Zhou Zhou quickly leaned forward to look outside. Compared with the ghost, the player at this moment was just like a small doll that could be held in one hand.

"It's really big. It may be difficult to catch it." Zhou Zhou frowned in distress.

Eddie on the side looked at him in shock: "Zhou Zhou, this thing really can't be caught. Look at its size. Will you catch it or will it catch you? Damn, hold on tight!"

The three ghosts exerted their strength together, and the house shook more and more violently, even tilting to 45 degrees. A boy from the Sharp family could no longer hold on, and after he let go, he fell into the corner of the wall.

If Zhou Zhou and Eddie hadn't been at the left window and held him together, he would have jumped out of the window.

"Thank you." The boy said in shock.

"Hurry up and grab the cabinet over there." When the house tilted to the left, Zhou Zhou immediately pushed the boy and asked him to hold on to the cabinet tightly.

“Aaaaaaah!”

Someone fell out.

But it didn't fall from the first floor, but from the upstairs window.

Judging from their body shapes, if they are not from the strong men’s team, then they should be players from another team.

After the player fell out, he ignored the pain in his body and immediately got up and ran into the house.

The three ghosts stop shaking the house at the same time, and then float towards the player together.

The ghost was so big that the player couldn't outrun it at all and was caught up after just a few steps.

A ghost bent down and stretched out his hand, and grabbed the player from behind with his big hand, easily grabbing him in his hand. The player kept struggling in the ghost's hand, but couldn't get free.

"It's me! Look carefully, it's me!" the player shouted loudly to the ghost who caught him.

It turned out that the person who caught him was the player who had died in their team before, but the one in front of him now was just a ghost NPC with the same face as his companion.

The ghost slowly raised its arms, then opened its mouth and put the player into its mouth.

Because the body was transparent, Zhou Zhou and Eddie watched the player slide down the ghost's body and finally disappear.

"Oh my god, hold on tight, or you'll be eaten by ghosts if you fall out!" Eddie shouted loudly to the people in the house.

I thought the ghosts would continue to shake the house after eating the player, but the three ghosts just stood there quietly without moving.

"What's wrong? Has it stopped?" Keli, who was lying on the ground, saw nothing and found that the house had stopped shaking, so he asked Eddie.

"It's not clear yet. The ghosts are not moving, but they haven't left either." Eddie loosened his hands and shook them, but his eyes were always fixed on the ghosts outside.

He had gripped the windowsill too tightly just now and only now felt the pain. He stared at the ghosts and grabbed things in the house as soon as they moved.

"I'm watching here, you guys take a break." Eddie shouted.

The players on the ground climbed up, and those who were holding on to other objects let go.

A group of people came to the windows on the left and looked at the three large ghosts towering outside. It was really spectacular.

Keli looked at it for a while and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a big ghost."

Eddie sighed, "The ghosts are different every time. The one we met last time can still possess us. Ghosts are really a product of the name of the dungeon. But it's really troublesome."

Xia Yan turned around and looked at everyone: "Did they stop after eating the players?"

"Um."

"So it seems that the purpose of these ghosts shaking the house is to shake out the players in the house. After eating a player each time, they may take a break, and then they should continue shaking after a while."

Eddie opened his eyes wide: "Do you want to keep shaking?"

"Well, otherwise why would they stop instead of just leaving?" Xia Yan analyzed.

Looking at the three large, motionless ghosts outside, this possibility is indeed very high.

"So what do we do now?"

Xia Yan shook his head: "There is no other way. It is not realistic to fight the ghost directly. I can only hold on to the objects around me and try not to fall out."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and several players ran down from upstairs in panic.

After handing the dolls to the children, they followed Zhou Zhou's idea and searched upstairs for clues to the exit. However, after a shake, one of their companions who didn't hold on tightly flew out of the window.

After seeing the ghost eating the player, the rest of the people immediately ran downstairs because the first floor was the one that shook the least when the shaking occurred.

Looking at the people present, except for the group of strong men, no one came down. They currently have only thirteen people, and the whereabouts of the other group is still unknown.

Now we have time to catch our breath. Everyone has found a good position. Because the furniture on the first floor will not shake, some people are holding the table, some are holding the clock, and some are lying on the ground holding the table legs, in various postures.

Eddie had just seen what was outside and his curiosity was satisfied. The most important thing now was to save his life, so he moved to a more stable position.

"Zhou Zhou, the window is open to the outside and can't be closed at all. It's too dangerous there. If you're not careful, you'll fall out. You should find another place."

Zhou Zhou shook his head: "It's okay, I've got a firm hold, and if someone falls here, I can help stop them."

Although the window is large, there is a cross-shaped window frame on it. As long as you hold on there tightly, it should be fine. Eddie nodded and said nothing more.

Even though it was so dangerous just now, he still managed to stand firm by holding onto Zhou Zhou's thighs. The same went for Shirley. If Zhou Zhou hadn't held her, she would have really flown out. Unless there is an accident next time, Zhou Zhou will definitely not fall out.

Heya stood not far behind Zhou Zhou, holding the bookcase with one hand. He was very strong, and one hand was enough to support him for a long time during the shaking.

Elvia was standing not far from the two of them, with a chair next to him. Although the chair could be moved at will, it did not move at all when the house shook. This could be considered a glimmer of hope for the players.

The large ghost suddenly moved again, and Zhou Zhou, Elvia, Heya and Xia Yan all looked at the clock.

Ten minutes.

Only ten minutes had passed before the ghost ate the player.

The house began to shake again, and the three ghosts swayed left and right like they were playing with toys. Fortunately, this time they had time to prepare, and everyone held on very firmly.

Zhou Zhou grabbed the window frame, and no matter how his body floated, he stared at the large ghost outside.

He really wants to go out and catch ghosts, but ghosts are really big. How can he catch them?

As soon as Alvia saw Zhou Zhou's eyes, she knew what he wanted to do, but this time the ghost was different from the last time, so there was no way she could catch it.

This time the tilt is even greater, from 45 degrees to about 60 degrees. Could it be that the tilt becomes greater after each rest?

"Come to hell with me~"

The large ghost swayed and shouted his lines.

If he wasn't still holding on to the table leg tightly, Eddie really wanted to complain about these lines. Why are they getting funnier and funnier?

It was very funny for Eddie, but for the other players, they were already panicking, and then they heard the deafening and shrill shouts outside. Their hands started shaking and they could not hold the objects in their hands.

At this time, the house tilted to the left, and the player was unsteady on his feet. He tumbled and crawled to Zhou Zhou's side, where Zhou Zhou grabbed his arm.

The house tilted greatly, and half of the man's body was already out. Fortunately, there was the ground outside, and the man stood directly on the ground. Zhou Zhou grabbed the window frame with one hand and the man's arm with the other hand, and shouted at him: "Hurry up and hold on!"

As long as the other party grabs the window frame, he can slide in from the outside when there is a shake next time, just like Shirley did before.

But no one knew what the other party was thinking, perhaps because he was too scared. His feet were clearly on the ground and he could grab the window frame next to him with just a stretch of his hand, but he actually hugged Zhou Zhou's arm tightly with both hands.

"Don't let me go, I'm about to fall out!" The terrified player grabbed Zhou Zhou tightly like a drowning man grabbing the only piece of driftwood he could reach, and tried to climb back in through the window with one foot.

I don’t know if they sensed something, but the ghosts did not shake to the right at the same frequency as before. Instead, all three of them worked together and tried to lift the house up.

Shirley was so angry that she almost died. She could clearly see everything that had just happened from where she was standing. Did this player come to play the game without using his brain? He could have let go of Zhou Zhou and grabbed the window next to him, using one hand for support and climbed back in in a few steps, but he actually hugged Zhou Zhou's arms with both hands, so he couldn't use any strength with his feet.

He held Zhou Zhou's arms too tightly with his hands, and his fingers even pinched Zhou Zhou's arms. The pain on Zhou Zhou's face was too obvious, but he said nothing, just frowned and tried to retract his arms.

Shirley was about to explode with anger. The three large ghosts actually lifted up the house. At this time, the brainless player had lost the best opportunity. His feet were off the ground and he was hanging in the air. He dared not let go of Zhou Zhou's hands. Zhou Zhou was also dragged out of the window with half of his body. At this time, he only relied on his other hand to hold the window frame.

"Let our Zhou Zhou go!" Shirley shouted while trying to get to the window. But the position she chose was not good at this time. There was nothing else to grab behind her. If she let go, she might fall on Zhou Zhou, and then the three of them would roll out together.

Eddie and Keli were lying on the ground. When they heard Shirley's angry shout, they turned around and could only see half of Zhou Zhou's body hanging in the air.

"Zhou Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

"Zhou Zhou, hold on tight."

Heya was not far from Zhou Zhou's location and was already trying to get here.

Elvia also saw that Zhou Zhou was in a critical condition at this time. The panicked player kicked his legs wildly and hugged Zhou Zhou's arms with both hands. One of his hands even tried to move forward and grabbed Zhou Zhou's back, as if he wanted to use Zhou Zhou's body to climb back up.

Alvia let go of her hand and her body fell to the left, with one foot on the narrow wall next to the window and the other foot right in the center of the cross window frame. Although the house was still half tilted and at least two meters above the ground, Alvia's footing was very stable.

Zhou Zhou immediately looked at Al with grievance. He didn’t understand what was wrong with this player. There was a window next to him, so why did he keep grabbing him? And it hurt so much.

Al put his arm around Zhou Zhou's waist and pulled him back from the window. At this time, the player who was holding Zhou Zhou tightly also came in.

Finally he got in, and the player breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was almost unable to hold on, and he was almost holding on with the strength of both hands by pinching the opponent's arms and back flesh.

Then he saw the man who came to rescue him, reaching behind his back with his free hand and prying his hands apart one by one.

"No, I'm going to fall!" The player said in fear as he had no object to hold on to with one hand.

Alvia turned a deaf ear and continued to pry open his other hand which was holding Zhou Zhou's arm. The other party tried to grab Zhou Zhou again several times, but was blocked by Alvia every time.

At the moment when he fell because he had no object to grab with his hands, Elvia grabbed one of his wrists again and lifted him up.

The player's legs and feet were shaking. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that the man would save him in the end.

"I think you'd better use your brain next time you play games. Goodbye." Alvia let go of her hand, and the other person fell straight out of the window and landed on the ground.

He got up from the ground in horror and ran desperately to get back to the room, but the ghost reacted very quickly and immediately pushed the house back to its original state. At this time, the player is still several meters away from the house, and the ghost's big hand is already behind him.

The large ghost hand grabbed the player away with one scoop.

Then he ate it.

At this time, everyone had another ten minutes of rest time.

"Zhou Zhou, are you okay?" Shirley immediately ran to Zhou Zhou.

Several other people also stood up and ran to Zhou Zhou, and Elvia put down Zhou Zhou, who was holding him around the waist.

Shirley immediately lifted up Zhou Zhou's sleeve and saw the finger marks and bloodstains on his arm. She gasped. Zhou Zhou's skin was originally very white and delicate, and the marks were particularly obvious.

She gritted her teeth and said, "If that guy wasn't already dead, I really wanted to go up and kick him a few times, and then slap him a few times."

Eddie: "That's right. Zhou Zhou clearly saved him. Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?"

Keli: "It hurts a bit, but luckily this is just a game world. The traces will disappear once you leave the dungeon."

Heya felt very guilty. He was the closest to Zhou Zhou, but he failed to protect him.

It was the first time that Zhou Zhou was injured and it was really painful, but seeing that everyone was concerned about him, he shook his head and said that he didn’t feel any pain.

But thinking of the player just now, Zhou Zhou turned around and asked the person next to him: "Al, why did you throw him down?"

Alvia's face was even colder than usual. When he heard Zhou Zhou's question, he looked at him expressionlessly: "Do you want me to rescue him too?"

After saying that, he walked to the other side.

Zhou Zhou stared blankly at Al's back. He felt that Al seemed angry, but why was he angry?

"Zhou Zhou, don't you think Al did something wrong?"

"Guys like that should go down and feed the ghosts."

Ke Li looked at Zhou Zhou who was in a daze and asked in confusion: "Zhou Zhou, that player just treated you like that, you are not angry at all, right?"

Zhou Zhou nodded. Although his arms and back were painful from being grabbed by the other party, why should he be angry?

Several people looked at each other and found the problem.

Shirley slammed the table hard: "Zhou Zhou! Have you ever heard this sentence?"

"What?"

"How can you repay kindness by repaying evil with kindness?"

Eddie nodded in agreement: "If someone bullies you, you should bully them back. Otherwise, you will become a softie and will be bullied even more."

"It's right for you to help others, but if the other person is ungrateful, you should kill him as soon as possible." Shirley narrowed her eyes and said fiercely.

Both Cole and Eddie looked at Shirley. Isn't she a little cruel?

Shirley saw the meaning in their eyes and said speechlessly: "I'm talking about the game. After all, if you die in the game, you are not really dead."

Although Heya was also the one who had hurt Zhou Zhou, he was determined to protect him in the future. Zhou Zhou didn't feel angry when facing this kind of thing. He just felt lucky that it happened to him and that he still had a chance to atone for his sins. However, if it was someone else who hurt Zhou Zhou, that would be a different matter.

Four people surrounded Zhou Zhou and told him at once that he must never have a chaste heart, what kind of people were bad people, what they might do to him, and what to do when encountering bad people.

Zhou Zhou listened blankly with his eyes wide open. It was the first time someone told him these things. It turned out that such people were bad guys. When you meet them, you should avoid them as much as possible. If you are bullied, you must fight back.

In just a few minutes, the door to Zhou Zhou's new world opened...

There were only one or two minutes left before the break, so Shirley and the others stopped talking, feeling unsatisfied. This kind of thing couldn't be told all at once, so they decided to tell Zhou Zhou about it slowly later.

Zhou Zhou looked at them and suddenly asked, "Was it wrong for me to ask Al that question just now?"

Shirley had a teachable expression on her face: "Yes, Al not only saved you, but also helped you deal with that bastard. The tone you used just now was a bit like you were questioning why he did such a bad thing. He was indeed wrong."

Zhou Zhou lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then I will go and apologize to him."

Eddie immediately perked up and pushed Zhou Zhou: "Go quickly, he must be waiting for you to come over now. Don't forget to thank him for saving you."

Zhou Zhou nodded, stood up and walked towards Al.
