Chapter 166
The difficulty of this game field is extremely high, so high that it is unimaginable. Strange people appear and knock on the door regardless of day or night, and there are many hidden rules that they have not figured out.
It can even be said that only one person died on the first night because the quality of these players was extremely high.
Shen Yunzhe turned around and went back to the bedroom. Before he reached the bedroom door, he heard a bang and the doorbell rang again.
Ding dong, ding dong.
Shen Yunzhe stood at the bedroom door and listened to the doorbell ringing outside.
"Who?" Shen Yunzhe asked.
"It's me." A familiar voice came from outside. Of course it was familiar. It was the little girl from 1-2.
Shen Yunzhe walked to the door and took a look at the record book at the door.
23:56: It's clearly this late, and the neighbor next door is here again. Why is she knocking on the door so late?
"What's up?"
"I just baked a batch of cookies, and I can't finish them all myself, so I want to share some with my neighbors." Through the cat's eye, the little girl held up a basket in her hand. Inside, a piece of oil paper lined the basket, filled with colorful cookies. "I don't know what flavors my neighbors like, so I took some."
Shen Yunzhe said: "Thank you, I'm allergic and don't eat cookies."
"You can have a few cookies if you're allergic, it's okay. If you don't want them I'll just have to throw them in the trash."
"Then throw it in the trash can." Shen Yunzhe was very ruthless, "I would throw it in the trash can anyway if you gave it to me."
The little girl's face turned ugly in an instant.
She raised her head and walked forward, her eyes fixed on the cat's eye on the door. When she raised her head, Shen Yunzhe noticed how pale her face was, but her eyes were extremely dark, big and black, not beautiful at all, and even pale and thin like a ghost.
It should be said that it is a ghost.
"You are really too much," the little girl said. "I sent you something out of kindness, but you didn't open the door for me and even threw my things into the trash can."
"You've gone too far. Bad people like you should be punished!"
Shen Yunzhe tutted his words, "You're the one going too far. Don't you see what time it is? You're knocking on doors in the middle of the night, disturbing people without caring whether they're asleep or not. And now you're even using moral blackmail."
"I punish you for your crime and you should be detained."
"You still want to detain me? Bad guy, bad guy!" The girl 1-2 smashed the basket under her hand with force.
She used so much force that the flower basket shattered the moment it hit the ground. The biscuits scattered everywhere, and there were biscuit crumbs everywhere. She stomped on the biscuits frantically, staring at the cat's eye while she looked at it, cursing and swearing viciously.
Shen Yunzhe could not hear her mumbling insults, he could only see her stepping on the cookies and opening and closing her mouth.
After taking a look at the notebook and seeing nothing new on it, Shen Yunzhe decided not to care about it anymore and decided to go back to sleep.
At this moment, there was a bang. Shen Yunzhe looked outside and found that the girl outside was banging on the door again.
She lay on the door, mumbling something under her breath while banging her head against it expressionlessly, over and over again. Blood instantly splattered on the iron door. Because she used too much force, when she raised her head, blood even splashed onto the 1-3 iron door opposite.
“The Holy Mother Community is the best community. I can make good friends here, and Our Lady can fulfill everyone’s wishes.”
Shen Yunzhe finally heard clearly what she was mumbling.
"I'm so lucky. I was chosen to be a resident of Xiangsheng Community, and I can make my wish come true."
“I’m going to be a winner in life.”
Bang! The girl's forehead caved in, and a huge wound appeared on her forehead. The moment the wound appeared, countless wounds appeared on her exposed arms and legs. Even her shoulders were twisted, as if they had been broken with great force.
Shen Yunzhe did not leave. He observed the girl outside.
He spoke only after the girl finally finished mumbling.
"This is the first time I've seen such a typical corpse fall from a high altitude." Shen Yunzhe said, "Did you die by jumping off a building?"
The girl's movement of banging on the door froze, and she stood frozen in place. After a long time, she slowly raised her head, her eyes fixed on the peephole.
Her eyeballs began to roll, and the eyeball of her right eye rolled out. She raised her arm, which was bleeding but obviously broken into several pieces, and finally put her hand on the cat's eye and started to pick. Shen Yunzhe stepped back and watched the bloody finger pick off the cat's eye, and then forced three fingers into the cat's eye.
"Ah!!" The girl 1-2 let out a miserable scream.
"I'm not dead! I'm not dead!"
The girl fiercely scratched the peephole, "I didn't jump off the building! I didn't want to die! It's all your fault! It's all this neighborhood!"
"Our Lady is a hoax! There is no Our Lady to grant our wishes! It's all Our Lady's fault!"
"It's not me who's to die! It's the Virgin Mary!"
This is a completely different argument from the previous one, probably because Shen Yunzhe pointed out that the girl was dead and even guessed the cause of her death.
When Shen Yunzhe said that, the girl obviously collapsed. After a brief pause, she immediately went crazy, insulting the Virgin Mary and the community, saying that she had been cheated, that she had lost her life, and that she was forced to death.
She withdrew her finger from the peephole and began banging on the door frantically.
"I'm not dead! Asshole! Look at me! I'm not dead!"
"The wish cannot be granted! The Virgin Mary will come to collect the price! I'm not dead! No, I'm dead! Hahaha! I'm dead! You will die too!"
Shen Yunzhe frowned. The light in the corridor outside the door suddenly flickered. Shen Yunzhe was stunned and quickly looked towards the corridor.
The lights came on, and Shen Yunzhe vaguely saw a black shadow standing behind the girl.
It was wearing a black robe and a black hood on its head. It just stood there quietly, like a docile cat. But even though its whole body was black, it still looked extremely holy. It was so sacred that everyone who saw it couldn't help but doubt whether it really existed.
The lights went out again, and when they came on again, the girl seemed to have noticed the shadow behind her. She turned around and looked at the shadow.
The lights went out again, and this time Shen Yunzhe heard a shrill scream.
The sound stopped abruptly, the lights came on, and there was nothing outside, even the bloody smell disappeared completely.
Shen Yunzhe took two steps back and frowned slightly.
"Our Lady?"
"System, does the Virgin Mary really exist? Is she a strange object in the core game field?!"
【I have no idea. 】
"You don't know either?"
[Except for Codename Thousand Faces, none of your peers have ever reached the depths of the mountain village, nor have any peers come to this core game field, so it is impossible to determine whether the Virgin Mary is real, nor whether it is a strange entity.]
Shen Yunzhe's understanding of the Virgin Mary is exactly that huge statue of the Virgin Mary, with her hands raised and eyes filled with tears. There is also a statue of the Virgin Mary outside this playground community.
But Shen Yunzhe still didn't expect that the Virgin Mary really existed here.
What does this mean? This means that there really is a final villain in this game world.
But this caused Shen Yunzhe to have a second question.
Why did the girl in 1-2 suddenly go crazy and insult the Virgin Mary after she revealed her death? What did she encounter? Why did she explode at this time and be eliminated by the Virgin Mary?
This is a problem.
This question cannot be answered just by thinking about it. Shen Yunzhe took a breath and chose to go back to his room to sleep. This time no one knocked on the door, and he fell asleep quickly. When he woke up the next day, he saw that it was eight o'clock in the morning. Shen Yunzhe then got up and walked to the door.
The cat's eye that was cut off last night still looked miserable. Shen Yunzhe simply stuffed a piece of paper on it and then looked at the notebook next to it.
There was some writing on it that he hadn't noticed last night.
[Neighbor 1-2 is insulting the Virgin Mary, saying it's all her fault. How can she say that?! The Virgin Mary is the kindest person and can grant everyone's wishes!]
【She was just not devout enough to fulfill her wish.】
[She is the most despicable thief, who only wants to gain benefits without giving anything in return. The Virgin Mary will punish such a person!]
【Our Lady...punishment.】
Kill her...her.
Our Lady...
The words that followed were jumbled and difficult to decipher. Shen Yunzhe had also seen such words in Next Door 1-4. According to the records, such jumbled words only appeared after the Virgin Mary appeared.
So the Virgin Mary really appeared last night?
Shen Yunzhe opened the door, and just as he opened it, the door of room 1-3 opposite was pushed open with a creak, and a red eye was staring at him, who was dizzy.
"Good morning." Shen Yunzhe greeted him.
"Good morning." The other party was still very timid. "Um, I heard that the neighbor 1-2 moved out. Do you know who our new neighbor is?"
"Moved out?" Shen Yunzhe glanced at the door of room 1-2. "When did you move out?"
"Last night, perhaps." The voice on the other side whispered, "After the pilgrimage at three o'clock in the afternoon, new neighbors will move in. Do you think the new neighbors will be friendlier? I want to make friends, I want to make some friendly friends."
Shen Yunzhe nodded. "Of course. Everyone in Xiangsheng Community is very friendly. Everyone will become your friend."
The owner of 1-3 stared at Shen Yunzhe for a long time. After a moment, he closed the door with a click without saying a word.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at the stairs. He was thinking about whether he should go find Li Yuluen or Huang Yihua now. The residents of 1-2 had moved out, and new residents would move in at three o'clock in the afternoon. That was to say, only during this period of time would there be no one in room 1-2.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Yunzhe decided to go in and take a look first.
He walked to the door of 1-2 and started unlocking it. After unlocking 1-4, Shen Yunzhe became more adept at unlocking the door.
With a click, the door of room 1-2 was opened.
Shen Yunzhe pushed open the door, and the next moment a strong sweet smell hit him in the face. Shen Yunzhe stood at the door and saw the scene inside. There were colorful cookies and some cream scattered everywhere, and the air in the whole room was so sweet that it was greasy.
Avoiding the little biscuit at the door, Shen Yunzhe walked into the living room.
In fact, he has always had a question, that is, all the players have nothing to eat, and they can only get food if they participate in the pilgrimage at 3 pm. How did 1-2 get anything to bake cookies?
Soon Shen Yunzhe saw the oven. The oven was just standing there in the living room. Facing the window, Shen Yunzhe walked over and reached out to open the curtains in the living room. After opening them, Shen Yunzhe regretted it because there were several pale people lying behind the curtains.
Those people just stuck to the wall and stared at Shen Yunzhe and Little Cookie in the living room.
Shen Yunzhe seemed particularly disgusted by this kind of peeping.
After drawing the curtains, Shen Yunzhe walked to the door. There was also a notebook at the door of 1-2 with something written on it.
The initial check-in was the same as Shen Yunzhe and his friends, and even the experience was the same, until it was evening.
8:34 PM: You're baking cookies in the living room again, showing them to the people outside the window. Seeing their jealous looks, you're beside yourself with excitement because you've become a resident of Xiangsheng Community, while they can't even squeeze in.
[21:23: You baked too many cookies again, and you decided to give them to your neighbors. Some of them refused your gift.]
22:01: You shouldn't go out at this time, but you're so happy that you have to go out and give cookies to your neighbors.
[23:51: All the cookies have been delivered, but you know one thing.]
You are dead, you are not a living person, you resent the Virgin Mary and even speak ill of her.
You forgot that it is not allowed to speak ill of Our Lady in the Holy Community.
…
At this time, Li Yulun was on the 5th floor. Huang Yihua came downstairs to find him before 6 o'clock in the morning. Her eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that she had not slept last night.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Li Yiluan and Huang Yihua immediately returned to her room.
"What happened?" Li Yuluan asked her.
Huang Yihua's face turned grim. She reached out and knocked on the wall next to her. Then she said, "It's 5-3."
"I remember 5-3 was the person who didn't go on the pilgrimage at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon?"
"His name is Hu Mingli, and he's an official, but I'm now certain he's no longer Hu Mingli," Huang Yihua said. "Although he still looks like Hu Mingli on the outside, something strange has corrupted him from within."
Li Yuluan understood what Huang Yihua meant.
He walked to the door to look at the notebook and gestured to Huang Yihua. Huang Yihua nodded and told him to look quickly.
Turning to yesterday's records, Li Yiluan looked at the things on it, and the more he read, the more he frowned.
"You had a wonderful time yesterday."
"Isn't your place so wonderful?"
"No." Li Yiluan shook his head. "No one even rang the doorbell yesterday."
Huang Yihua thought for a moment, "What wish did you make?"
"I hate the sound of people. It makes me stay home away from people." Li Yilun said, "You can't write a letter wishing me a prosperous business, right?"
Huang Yihua: …
She was silent for a long time before she finally managed to utter, "There's a reason why you and Shen Yunzhe are friends."
Li Yiluan looked at her doubtfully, "Really?"
But in short, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or a real appearance of the Virgin Mary, but except for the first day when he was startled by a huge scream, no one really came to knock on Li Yuluo’s door these two days. He lived very peacefully these two days, and it was not thrilling at all.
Huang Yihua began to think about the possibility of changing her wish.
"Anyway, what's happening now is this: the player next door, Hu Mingli, has been replaced. I don't know what he's become of now, right?"
Huang Yihua nodded and immediately returned to his serious state, "Yes, I am thinking about how to deal with him now."
"He's a strange creature, and we're ordinary players. It's obviously not advisable to let him out." Huang Yihua said: "Even for our own sake, we can't let him mix with the players."
Li Yiluan thought for a moment and said, "I understand your idea, but I have another possibility."
"What?"
"If he could be replaced by something strange, the reason he was replaced was because he opened the door at 10 pm." Li Yiluan said, "So, on the first day, when we didn't know about this unspoken rule, how many people actually opened the door?"
Li Yuluan instantly thought of the same thing as Shen Yunzhe.
“Are those who opened the door still themselves?”
Huang Yihua opened her eyes slightly, and her expression became much uglier.
Yes, this concern is reasonable, even very reasonable.
Only one player died on the first night, but each player was on a different floor, so no one knew who opened the door, let alone whether it was him or her.
It's like they're playing a game of undercover bombs, with traps everywhere.
"Can you tell the difference?" Huang Yihua asked Li Yuluan.
"I can see people's fate, but not completely. Strange things also have fate, and it's hard for me to tell them apart." Li Yiluan thought for a moment, "But you can let Shen Yunzhe try."
"Come to think of it, it seems that Shen Yunzhe could indeed distinguish between humans and strange objects on the train." Huang Yihua also recalled what happened at that time. "And before entering the mountain village, he also helped the authorities find a lot of strange objects. Although I don't know how he did it, after all, he is Shen Yunzhe."
Li Yiluan nodded. "As for how to deal with this problem, the most important thing is how to identify it first. Once you have identified it, you can avoid it."
"We should avoid strange things first."
Huang Yihua nodded, "Then let's go find Shen Yunzhe now."
Li Yiluan stood up, but at this moment, his steps stopped. He looked at the door silently, lost in thought.
"Li Yiluan? Why don't you go out?"
Li Yiluan thought for a moment, "Hmm... I seem to have seen something."
"What?"
"Shen Yunzhe is unlucky." Li Yiluan said firmly: "Yes, he is unlucky again."
To be honest, none of the players in the entire game field had as much experience as Shen Yunzhe. On the first day, a strange creature banged on his door.
Sometimes Li Yuluan would wonder if these playgrounds were too enthusiastic towards Shen Yunzhe?
It was like welcoming him home.
