Chapter 6: The First Item: Deserted City Notes
The survivors can always easily jump away when being chased and blocked by several people.
The way he dodged was strange, using his hands and feet together, landing on all fours, with amazing jumping ability, and landing silently.
No wonder even the blind man with amazing hearing didn't sense his presence.
No one could catch him.
Just like now, he jumped up from the ground and easily jumped to the top of the high shelf.
He squinted at the people below, with a hint of provocation and disdain in his eyes.
Li Dangxin stood under the shelf, gasping for breath.
"How can he jump so high?"
Red Hair supported himself on his knees and took a breath for a while.
"And his body is so soft, and the top is so narrow, how did he squeeze in? Judging from his movements, he doesn't look like a human!"
The blind man blocked the door and guarded it. Anyway, it was a closed room and it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
He listened to his teammates' description and asked:
"If it doesn't look like a human, then what does it look like?"
The survivor made a gurgling sound in his throat and licked his hands very leisurely.
"cat!"
Like a cat!
Sister Sa held the ladder high and Red Hair supported him from below. Just when she was about to reach him, the survivor quickly jumped down from the height and ran towards Chen Li.
Sister Sa stood on the rickety chair mountain and shouted, "Chen Li! Catch him!"
It’s just that Chen Li was a little absent-minded after he came out of the bathroom.
So much so that he didn't react at all when the survivors passed by him.
Five minutes ago.
When he was standing in front of the two mirrors in the bathroom checking if there was any printed matter on his body, he vaguely saw a man flash by in the mirror.
At that moment, he felt that the mirror in front of him was not a mirror, but more like a window.
The man also glanced at him as he passed by the window.
Unlike Shen Li, he was a sharp-edged person with a cold and arrogant face.
After a brief look at each other, they saw surprise in each other's eyes.
It was as if the appearance of both parties was unexpected to each other.
But after just a second or two, everything in the mirror returned to normal.
"ah!"
With a loud bang, the chair mountain built by Li Dangxin collapsed.
She fell from a great height, and Red-Haired reached out to catch her, but he tripped first. The socially anxious man came over to help her hesitantly.
Li Dangxin fell on the red-haired man, looked up and saw the survivor running to the bathroom, and quickly shouted:
"The bathroom window is open. Don't worry about us. Go chase him first. Don't let him get away!"
When Chen Li chased to the bathroom, the survivor was lying on the sink in a lazily posture, looking at him, licking his hands and scratching his head from time to time.
Shen Li didn't dare to disturb him and just approached slowly.
The survivor looked up at him, his shrunken pupils dilated a little, and he yawned in a very relaxed manner.
The people outside rushed in to help, but what they saw was this scene:
Shen Li was rubbing the survivor's head. The survivor closed his eyes, purred with pleasure in his throat, and even put his head into his hands.
He is petting a humanoid cat...
Taking advantage of this quiet moment, Li Dangxin quickly read the words printed on the survivor's arm.
This time the printed version is longer than before, with three paragraphs:
"It was a wild cat that wandered around the garbage dump. Whether it was dead or alive, its impact on the city was negligible."
"I don't know when it started to understand human language, and a huge conspiracy began to brew in its little head."
“It doesn’t want to be insignificant forever. Even if it can’t control the world, it wants to be a part of the play.”
——Catman A.
"Catman A?" Red Hair's voice was a little distorted. "This time it even has a signature. It's not even a person anymore?"
Shen Li's attention at the moment was not on Catman A and his printed text.
He seemed to suddenly sense something and looked at the mirror in front of him.
Sure enough, that person appeared again.
Only this time, the background in which the man was located had changed, and his perspective in the mirror was from bottom to top.
That angle was like looking up at him through a puddle of water.
It was night there too.
Unlike the dark, foggy night here, there was a full moon there.
He looked very tired, standing alone in the moonlight, his hands hanging relaxedly at his sides, his eyes closed and his head tilted back.
Bathed in moonlight.
There are wild grass all around.
The light traced a glowing outline on his profile.
Silver-white hair, small and shiny earrings, a clean-cut jaw that leads all the way down to a lustful Adam's apple.
Shen Li's gaze finally fell on his hand hanging by his side.
The man was wearing a snake-shaped ring on his index finger.
Chen Li's memory is very fragmented, and the snake-shaped ring is one of the few things that appears clearly in his memory.
The tiny snake head was wrapped around his joints, its scales glowing silver.
It suits him very well.
So that was someone he knew before?
Is it the person who helps him button his shirt?
"Hey! What are you daydreaming about?"
Li Dangxin followed Chen Li's gaze and saw herself in the mirror. The print on her cheek became fainter and fainter, so she felt relieved.
At least it won't be disfigured.
Shen Li's hand that was touching Cat Man A's head paused for a moment.
"You...can't see?"
"What are you looking at?" Li Dangxin was puzzled and poked the wound on his lip in the mirror again.
"nothing."
Cat Man A was angry because Shen Li stopped touching his head. He arched his back and meowed at him in dissatisfaction, then bit his wrist.
"Hey, hey, hey, you little beast, you know how to bite? Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with you!" The red-haired man began to roll up his sleeves.
Cat Man A gave him a cold look and quickly jumped out of the window to escape.
"You're bleeding!"
"So is this a human bite or a cat bite? Do I need to get vaccinated?"
Despite such obvious pain, Shen Li's expression remained wooden.
He stared blankly at the other person in the mirror, where it was raining.
Raindrops fell into puddles, creating ripples on the mirrored surface.
The man opened his eyes and prepared to leave.
The girl in a black dress approached him with an umbrella and crushed the puddle with her foot.
The dirty mud and sand surged up and nothing could be seen.
“It’s raining.”
The girl kept her distance from him and handed him the open black umbrella from a distance.
He took the umbrella and said nothing.
"I didn't expect that this delivery mission would last for half a year."
The girl's voice was muffled.
The bone bird standing on her shoulder was dozing off, and in its sleep it couldn't help but lean its head against the girl's white hair, looking like a snuggler.
"It's almost over." He turned and left with his umbrella.
The girl followed him, "No more deliveries. Is that ever going to end?"
"have no idea."
He looked down at the broken puddle in a daze.
"Can you see it?" he asked her.
The girl rested her hands on her knees and took a serious look at the dirty puddle.
As she bent over, the dozing bone bird fell from her shoulder and shattered into a pool of bones on the ground.
"What did you see?"
What do you see?
A pale-skinned boy.
When I first met him, he took off his shirt, and his thin appearance made people inexplicably want to protect him.
The second time I saw him, he was concentrating on touching another man's head, with a gentle smile on his face, which was very dazzling.
"nothing."
"oh."
There was a long silence.
"Boss."
"explain."
"Can you please keep Qian Shi in check? He made sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes and sold them to me for 50,000 points each. The abacus beads fell on his own face."
The man's face seemed to appear in the puddle again.
He walked by expressionlessly and crushed it with one foot.
…
…
Cat-man A jumped out of the window and escaped. Red-haired man leaned out of the window angrily, looking in the direction where he escaped and cursing at him.
An old lady with crutches passing by the window looked at him with horror.
Redhead quickly shut up, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scold you, please go on your way."
After he drew back, he suddenly came to his senses and pointed tremblingly out the window:
"That's not right. Why is it already daybreak? Why are there people on the road?"
Li Dangxin's anxious voice came from outside the bathroom.
"The Ghost Box is gone! The notebook is gone too!"
She was a little desperate. After confirming it several times, she told the worst news:
"We lost something!"
"It shouldn't be a lost item." The blind man thought clearly.
"Now that all of us here have touched the notebook, we should have been pulled into another world."
To be precise, it is the world in the notebook.
The notebook is still in the post station, but they are the ones who disappeared.
Li Dangxin glanced at the new world outside the door and said with some concern:
"After all this twists and turns, we still have to find Catman A and complete the printing on his body before we can go back?"
“But the printed text on his body doesn’t look like it can be completed in a short time!”
"No need to look for him, he will complete it himself." The blind man analyzed.
As long as they are not stuck, anyone with printed words on them will be manipulated to complete these lines step by step.
It's daybreak now and there's no fog outside the window, which is not a bad thing.
Instead, they could try to find clues about the recipient.
But is this city really safe?
When Li Dangxin went out, he raised his hand to block the glaring sun, his expression a little dazed.
Maybe it was because the sun was too strong, but she suddenly felt a tingling sensation on the back of her hand that was blocking the sun.
Li Dangxin didn't have time to check the back of her hand, because at this moment she saw all the passers-by on the street stop in place and check the back of their hands with fear on their faces.
It seemed like something had happened that frightened them greatly.
“It appeared, and it appeared again!”
I don't know which passerby shouted in despair.
Li Dangxin was stunned for a moment and quickly checked the back of her hand.
On the fair skin, there is a line of words carved in blood.
April 4th
Good: Rainfall
Don’t: Stay indoors
Like some kind of rule.
Li Dianxin turned around and looked at the other people in the room. At this moment, everyone was looking at the stinging back of her hand like her.
At this moment, she understood that everyone in the city had these blood-carved rules in their hands.
Redhead realized what he had to do the first time and rushed to the door.
The socially anxious person was still in a daze. He was always slow in doing things. "Brother, run out!"
The whole city was filled with screams and began to degenerate into chaos.
Li Dangxin rushed in with a look of disappointment, grabbed her brother with one hand and Chen Li's collar with the other, and dragged the two "useless guys" out.
Who else hasn't escaped?
Li Dangxin let go of the two losers and shouted, "Where's the blind man? Where's the blind man?"
The red-haired man poked her shoulder and pointed behind her, unable to resist making a sarcastic remark:
"Are you still worried about him? Whenever there's danger, he runs faster than a rabbit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the buildings in the entire city collapsed at the same time.
The sound of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting was mixed with screams and crying.
Those residents in the high-rise buildings had no time to escape.
Destruction happens in an instant.
The ground was shaking, the sound of explosions came from far away, thick smoke billowed in the sky, and flames covered the sky above the ruins of collapsed high-rise buildings.
The city was reduced to ruins and the survivors' hearts were pounding.
Now they can't be said to have survived a disaster.
Because after the collapse, they soon heard another scream.
“It’s raining!”
Several people stood under a tree on the side of the road, and Red Hair looked up at the sky in a daze.
"It's just raining, why are you screaming so miserably when it rains?"
A drop of rain fell on the surface of his shoes through the sparse tree canopy.
The shoe surface is smoking...
Red Hair was horrified, "Damn it! It's not raining! It's sulfuric acid!"
