The air in the room moved slowly, and the tightly drawn curtains did not move.
Gray light penetrated the curtains, and five people were lying in a mess behind the sofa. The furniture cast deep shadows on them.
Lu Miao was the first to regain consciousness.
She frowned uncomfortably, and her mind was in a mess when she opened her eyes. After a moment, a gray light poured into her eyes, like a dark room lamp dispelling the chaos in her mind.
She endured the headache and got up, and found everyone lying beside her.
no……
She felt dizzy and nauseous, and she was sweating profusely.
She closed her eyes with difficulty to ease the nausea.
Last night, she didn't remember anything after the bright light appeared. Before the bright light appeared, she vaguely remembered that there was a set of rules.
"Wake up..."
Weekend, who had fallen to the ground, frowned when he heard the sound, but the pain in his head stimulated his consciousness. The dim light made him squint his eyes, and in the dim light, he saw that someone had sat up.
"team leader?"
"Take it easy."
Weekend also sat up, feeling dizzy and nauseous, gasping for breath. "There are words on the back of the sofa..."
Wang Keke was the third one to wake up. She also felt dizzy, nauseous, weak in her limbs, and like she was carsick.
The pink hair around her ears was wet.
He Ping'an and Yu Xiaowan woke up one after another, both feeling extremely uncomfortable and sweating.
"It's the influence of the ghost story field." Lu Miao recovered, and the nausea and discomfort were relieved, but she was still dizzy. She lowered her head and looked at the white raincoat she was wearing. "This raincoat is required by the rules. There are words on the back of the sofa, let's take a look..."
On the back of the dark brown leather sofa, there is a line of handwritten words: Live at all costs!
The handwriting was crooked but not shaky, so it must have been written in a hurry.
He Pingan tapped his forehead, trying to make his mind work faster. "I don't remember... whether there were any words originally..."
Weekend took a deep breath to ease the discomfort. "If it's not our handwriting, it must have been written by a creature in the realm of ghost stories."
Everyone was in a very bad state, and Lu Miao suggested that they sit down and rest while she went to look for the rules.
"I'm going too..." Weekend stood up with the help of the sofa. "I can still walk..."
The other three were anxious and unwilling to sit and wait for death.
"Check the owners' group to see if there is any new information." Lu Miao assigned other tasks to the three people.
Only then did they feel relieved and nodded.
Lu Miao and Weekend looked around the hall and found that the wall clock was broken.
She thought back carefully. "I remember when I moved in, there was no clock on the wall."
"I don't remember either. The cracks on the clock face are numerous and very broken. It doesn't look like they were caused by human hands."
"It's not man-made, otherwise there's no need to hang it back on the wall."
The time on the wall clock stopped at 9:05, and I couldn't tell whether it was morning or evening.
Lu Miao looked at his watch and was slightly stunned.
Her watch was not broken, and the second hand was ticking.
The time is 7:12.
There was light outside, it must be morning.
She rubbed the solar plexus for massage. "We split up to look for anything with words on it, and stopped to rest if we felt uncomfortable."
Lu Miao first went to the gate and looked for the rule paper he remembered. Unfortunately, the gate was empty.
"Captain, all the chat records in the owners' group have disappeared. It's blank now, and the mobile phone can't access the Internet." Wang Keke wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Everything I experienced at midnight seemed like a dream.
"The situation is not optimistic, you see..." Weekend on the other end looked solemn.
Others looked towards his position.
He made a startling statement: "There are many more items in the house that do not belong to us."
These words were like a gust of cold wind, blowing across the five sick people.
“Don’t scare me on purpose…” Wang Keke hugged Yu Xiaowan tightly.
As I said over the weekend, the residence has taken on a strange feel, with the most obvious changes being in the bedroom and bathroom.
There are a few more bottles of cosmetics on the dressing table in the master bedroom where Wang Keke and Yu Xiaowan live, and there is an extra basketball in the room opposite where Weekend and He Pingan live.
As for the bathroom, in addition to the wash cups and toothbrushes for five people, there were three more wash cups and three toothbrushes out of nowhere.
Their personal belongings were placed together with those of strangers, and everyone felt cold all over.
The hall was filled with new decorations, one of which was a photo frame. The photos on the inner layer were all white, as if they were overexposed when the photo was taken.
Yu Xiaowan raised her hand nervously to wipe the sweat off her face. "I do think there's someone else in the room."
Wang Keke's face turned pale with fear. "Don't, don't say you have the Yin-Yang Eyes..."
"No, I just feel that way."
He Ping'an opened the closet in his room, but did not find anyone hiding.
Lu Miao also opened the closet in the master bedroom, but found nothing.
They searched every corner of the house where someone could hide, but couldn't find the sixth person.
Lu Miao believes in Yu Xiaowan. "Xiaowan's senses are sharper than ours, she won't be wrong."
When watching football games, she relied on her keen intuition to identify abnormal members and avoid their approach.
Everyone's thinking was slower than usual, and it took them a while to remember to look for any items with words on them.
"Hmm..." Yu Xiaowan felt like vomiting as soon as she concentrated. When she saw the words on the Golden Mansion's brochure, it was like seeing dancing insects, dazzling.
Wang Keke next to him wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Why are you sweating so much? Am I so weak now? The temperature in the room isn't very high..."
"I sweat a lot too." She was confused.
On the other side, Lu Miao was searching the children's room where he lived.
She used to feel dizzy if she could concentrate for more than a minute or so, but after entering the children's room, the fresh air relieved her dizziness.
She immediately picked up the cactus, sniffed a few deep breaths of fresh air, and cleared her mind a little.
This thing actually works in the field of ghost stories. She made the right bet.
Finding nothing in the nursery, she searched the hall.
"Found it! Come out quickly!"
The rule paper was actually pasted under the dining table. She peeled it off carefully, sweat dripping down her forehead.
The golden purple font was arrogant and sharp. Lu Miao remembered that the regular font on the door also became like this.
Perhaps, there is a reason for the change in fonts.
Everyone gathered around the dinner table, pondering the new rules:
Thank you for your cooperation in prevention and control. Now please be sure to follow the following rules to help you stay sane.
1. The time unit for the effectiveness of these rules is hours.
2. Do not go out. (Do not go out)
3. It is forbidden to take off the white raincoat. (It seems that it has no effect to take it off and take a shower)
4. Do not eat food that is exposed to air.
5. Do not drink water that has come into contact with air. (Trouble!)
6. Please be wary of neighbors who behave in an unusual way.
7. Maintain an optimistic attitude.
8. The above rules will come into effect at 7 o'clock.
(Survive!)
(It's not necessarily right, it's wrong!)
(Keep your sanity!)
The rules this time are different from the past. There are handwritten messages at the end of some rules, and some inexplicable words at the bottom.
It was as if different people had secretly written it down while they were unconscious.
Thinking of this, they felt a chill again.
"Is the handwriting below similar to the message on the back of the sofa?" Lu Miao raised his eyes and found that the others were still listless and listless. "Are you still dizzy?"
Wang Keke blinked. "I feel dizzy, and reading the text makes me even dizzier. Luckily the font size of the rules is larger this time."
Yu Xiaowan covered her mouth to prevent vomiting.
He Ping'an wiped the sweat from his philtrum and massaged his solar plexus from time to time.
I am in a better state on the weekend and can patiently read the rules.
Lu Miao was secretly shocked.
The oxygen released by the cactus seemed to have no effect on them.
"We need to look for other rule sheets, in case newer rules appear without our knowledge and we violate them without realizing it."
The four of them split up again to look for it.
Lu Miao first compared the handwriting on the back of the sofa.
It is very similar indeed.
It can be proved that the person who wrote three sentences under the rules is also the one who left a message behind the sofa.
At present, this person is in the same camp as them.
The notes at the end of some rules are written in three different handwritings.
The handwriting behind the second rule is very beautiful, most likely written by a woman.
Then she went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
There are extra leftovers, vegetables and fruits in it.
Can't eat anymore.
Even though the leftovers were wrapped in plastic wrap, they would not eat anything that did not belong to them, and they could not eat fruits and vegetables that had been exposed to air.
The only thing they can eat is the bottled water in the refrigerator and their nutritional supplements.
The rules didn't mention not looking out the window, so she pulled open the curtains in the hall with one hand to make the dim room a little brighter.
The thick fog outside the window was gray, and gray dust particles were fogging up in the fog.
She was stunned.
In real smog, dust particles cannot be seen.
At this time, several figures ran past the children's playground downstairs and ran into different residential buildings.
One of them ran into Block 3 where they lived.
The rules say that you are not allowed to go out, so what are the people downstairs?
"Captain, I found a note." He Pingan walked out of the room and said weakly, "I don't know when it fell behind the door."
The handwriting on the note is similar to the handwriting at the end of Rule 5, with a mature and somewhat sloppy style.
——If dad doesn’t come back in time, hide in the closet and sleep at night to avoid it.
"Dad?" Yu Xiaowan was confused.
On the weekend, I took out the photos from the inner layer of the photo frame and turned to the back of the photos. "A loving family?"
Wang Keke, feeling dizzy, came over.
This line of words is written in beautiful handwriting.
"There is a family of three living here, which can explain the extra personal belongings." He Ping'an had to rub his temples to speak, otherwise he couldn't concentrate on thinking. "The question is whether the family of three went out, or their living space overlaps with our space, but we can't see them?"
"Why can't I see them in person but can see their messages?" Yu Xiaowan squatted down to relieve her headache.
He Pingan was speechless and wiped the sweat off his face.
Lu Miao put down the note. "Don't think too much for now. We should abide by the rules and stay rational. Since there are no new rules, let's take nutrients to replenish our energy first."
"Okay. I don't know why, I can't use any strength." Wang Keke wanted to bend her arms but she was too weak.
Lu Miao, who was also exhausted, was worried secretly. "Everyone is sweating a lot. I'll go get some bottled water. You guys wait on the sofa."
Even with the oxygen released by the cactus, Lu Miao's headache, nausea, fatigue, and sweating symptoms could not be completely eliminated, but only alleviated. But it was a good thing that one person in the team could move freely.
The Red Team’s situation should be the same as theirs, and no one can get any good results.
It all depends on which team recovers faster.
There were bottled water in the refrigerator. She picked up a bottle and looked at it. The small words on the bottom of the bottle caught her attention.
It's a message:
It likes to eat cooked meat.
