Chapter 60

After finishing the bread and drinking the water, Codename Hope was attracted by his own feeling of fullness and looked like he wanted to drink some more water, but Shen Yunzhe confiscated the cup.

Codename Hope's little finger twitched unconsciously on her knee, her eyes fixed on Shen Yunzhe, looking very quiet.

But Shen Yunzhe was familiar with this action, because he also had this habit. It meant that he was in a very irritable mood at the moment and was about to have an outburst.

"Hold on a little longer." Shen Yunzhe comforted him, "It will be fine once we get out of here."

Codename wanted to look at him, but after a moment he shifted his gaze, looking forward, staring at the light spot on the wall.

Now that the medium of this strange invasion has been identified, it will be easy to deal with. We just need to find the medium and destroy it, even though the medium is the corpse of a young child.

He took a bottle of medical alcohol from the medicine shelf next to Shen Yunzhe and put it in his pocket.

He opened Hou Zheng's phone and looked at the owner group on his WeChat. Even though it was already late, no one who was still alive could sleep. They were constantly panicking and afraid in the group, as if talking to others could slightly offset the fear.

Some people were also sending voice messages, and their voices were filled with tears. They didn't dare to cry too loudly, just sobbing sounds.

Shen Yunzhe wrote a paragraph in the memo, then copied it and sent it to each group.

[I have a way to catch the cat and get everyone out, but I need a favor.]

【？ 】

[Hou Zheng? Isn't he dead?!]

[No, he seemed to have said before that he was the one who found Hou Zheng's phone and wanted to rescue him.]

What's going on? Are you an insider? Why is this happening? Is there really a ghost?

[Don't ask so many questions. How did he answer? Are you here to save us?]

"I can save you, but I need your cooperation. There are officials waiting for us outside. We'll explain things to you after we leave." Shen Yunzhe could lead them to mistakenly believe that he was an official, so that they would believe him and help.

The community was full of people, not just the owners but also the property management and security guards. They were all trapped in different places, shivering and afraid to leave.

What do you want us to help you with?

The person asking the question was another property manager.

Shen Yunzhe knew that something was up. Since Hou Zheng was a dead man, this account was not very trustworthy, and other property managers could control more people.

[Help me find the little girl at the beginning, the one in the red dress. You should have seen her more or less.]

[Is this the child who was killed some time ago? ]

【right. 】

What if I find it?

[Give me her location, either in the group or privately, just let me know immediately if you see it.]

I, I saw it...

At this moment, someone suddenly said in the group: [She is in the basement.]

Next is a photo. It can be seen that the photo was taken in a car. The person should be lying under the car seat. The camera was carefully extended out and captured a small hint of red.

What is the specific location?

【Basement parking lot under Building 5. 】

Shen Yunzhe breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Codename Hope next to him, and Codename Hope finally stopped staring at the light spot on the wall and looked at him.

"We found the cat and the cat skin." Shen Yunzhe said, "Let's go and get to work."

It was obvious that Codename Hope didn't want to leave. He stared at the darkness outside the window with a bone-chilling coldness in his eyes.

So Shen Yunzhe put thick clothes on him and put a flashlight in his palm. "Flashlight, it can shine. And I will be with you this time. It will be dawn soon."

"Do we have to go out?" Codename Hope asked.

Shen Yunzhe nodded and said, "If you want to gain something, you must give up something."

Code name wanted to look him in the eye. After a long time, he reached out and touched Shen Yunzhe's eyes. Shen Yunzhe was not afraid and let him gently stroke his eyelashes.

"It's really amazing, Shen Yunzhe." Codename Hope said, "Before, we only saw each other occasionally, so I didn't feel it. Now that we're together, in just one day, I understand how similar you are to me. You're like a variant of me."

"Shen Yunzhe, I feel like I'm facing another self."

"I know you're lying to me about going out because I'm too afraid of the dark, but I don't hate it." Codename Hope closed her eyes and leaned against his chest, "Because I would do the same, and like you... I also firmly believe in this truth: if you want to gain something, you have to lose something."

"You're deliberately testing how similar I am to you. You're such a bad person."

Shen Yunzhe grabbed his wrist and said, "Now that you know, hurry up and leave. Time is running out. I don't like staying in such a dangerous environment at all."

"I know you don't like it either. After all, you made such a big sacrifice to prevent the playground from invading reality, right?"

Codename Hope nodded. He looked so calm, but a sense of excitement was surging inside him. He was excited about this emotion which was neither good nor bad. The more intense it was, the more excited he became.

They know it very well.

At this time, the owners' group was talking about the little girl in red that Shen Yunzhe mentioned, telling horror stories, and the cases they learned about at the time.

Until one person spoke.

Who took Hou Zheng's phone? If I could really leave, I'd like to thank him in person.

【Did anyone see it at the time?】

[Who knew?] At that moment, we saw the thing pounce on Hou Zheng and rip his throat open. Two young men rushed out, but they couldn't save him. The group chat was also in chaos at the time, and no one dared to go downstairs to help.]

[Don’t say such things after the fact. Would you have dared to do that at the time?]

[I was on the third floor and saw it at the time, but one person was blocking the view very tightly. The other person's face was visible and must be a homeowner in our complex.]

【who? 】

[Why do I look like that person who's still single despite being so old? Aunt Zhang introduced me to someone several times but was rejected every time.]

The group chat fell silent.

They knew Aunt Zhang, a middle-aged woman who had been adopted by her son in the community. She was from a rural background, illiterate but very enthusiastic, and loved chatting with people. No one in the community who knew her disliked her, but she had one bad point, which was that she liked to pair up single young people and had to act as a matchmaker.

She said that when people get older, they must get married and have more children.

Shen Yunzhe is 26 years old this year. He has a good job and is good-looking. After meeting him a few times, she insisted on introducing him to a girl, hoping to have his wedding candy as soon as possible.

Shen Yunzhe declined several times and finally got annoyed and told her directly that he was a non-marriageist and would never get married in his life, and asked her not to find anyone to arrange a blind date for him anymore.

It sounds like this matter is Aunt Zhang's fault in every way, but Aunt Zhang thinks Shen Yunzhe is really stingy, and getting married and having children is a big deal, so how can he not get married? Afterwards, she always said that he was ignorant. Later, when she learned that Shen Yunzhe was unemployed, she said it was retribution.

[So it's him. I know he's a bit weird.]

[Uncle, do you know him? ]

I'm familiar with his landlord, and he told me that this guy has a cabinet full of dolls in his house. He was so scared the first time he went there that he almost peed himself, and he never dared to go there again.

[What a coward.]

I used to think so, but now that something like this has happened in our neighborhood, and he's so capable, maybe it's not a matter of being timid, but rather that he's the type of person who displays a wall of dolls, and renting a room here is just a way to hide.

Those dolls might not just be dolls, that's why they scare people.

[Could it be that this unemployment was also due to some unexpected event...]

[So that's how it is!]

"A-choo." Shen Yunzhe sneezed. He rubbed his itchy nose and sneezed again.

He could only be thankful that this was the corridor and not the basement.

Codename Hope tightened his grip on his wrist and looked a little worried.

Unfortunately, Shen Yunzhe didn’t feel that Codename Hope was worried at all. He was probably scared by the sudden sneeze. He was not worried, but was just disturbed by the momentary sound.

Cats are particularly sensitive animals. After Shen Yunzhe and Code Name hoped to enter the basement, they found that the cat had disappeared long ago. Only a man was huddled in the car and shivering. There were two sharp scratches on his car, and the door was almost torn open.

The people in the car were trembling and unable to utter a word. They were so scared that they lost their normal thinking.

Fortunately, someone saw the cat's location and sent a message to Shen Yunzhe.

The cat was lying on the rooftop, staring at Shen Yunzhe who was walking downstairs. Shen Yunzhe was looking at his mobile phone and looking around for something. The cat squinted its eyes and made a hunting posture. At this moment, it took a step back because it saw Code Name Hope was right next to Shen Yunzhe.

It is extremely afraid of code name hope.

Ding Dong, Shen Yunzhe received the last message.

[Here it is! It's tucked away in the hydropower room!]

The message was accompanied by a photo. The photo showed a narrow water card recharge point with a body stuffed inside. Lu Xiaoxiao, wearing a red dress, was squeezed in there with her black eyes staring blankly outside. The photo was very blurry and it looked like the person who took the photo was so frightened that he couldn't hold the phone steady.

"Let's go!" Shen Yunzhe turned around and ran back.

Codename Hope raised his head and glanced upwards, then turned around and followed Shen Yunzhe away.

If the cat lying on the roof still had its skin, its fur would have stood on end. It was purring in its throat and its eyes were full of resentment.

"Cats are not that smart. At most, they hide their important things." Shen Yunzhe came to the place where the news came from. There was no one here, but the water and electricity box next to it was turned on. Shen Yunzhe turned on the flashlight and saw Lu Xiaoxiao who was twisted and stuffed in.

With a creak, the door opened a crack, and the person inside looked at here quietly.

Shen Yunzhe didn't have time to care about the onlookers. He simply grabbed the body stuffed inside with his hands and used a little force to pull the body out.

The cat on the roof opened its eyes wide and made a shrill meow. The next moment, Shen Yunzhe felt the corpse under him move. Lu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and bit his tiger's mouth.

It hurt so much that blood started flowing out all of a sudden.

Codename Hope stood beside him and watched, and it seemed that he had no intention of coming up to help. He did not move until the corpse opened its hands to grab Shen Yunzhe. He stepped on the cat's outstretched claws, and with a "swish" sound, Lu Xiaoxiao let out a sharp scream and her teeth loosened.

"Hold it." Shen Yunzhe said.

Codenamed Xiwang was relatively well-behaved. He squatted down and held the cat down. The cat struggled miserably, and its screams resounded throughout the entire community. Shen Yunzhe took out the bottle of medical alcohol from his pocket. He poured the alcohol directly into the big hole in the corpse's abdomen and poured the entire bottle of alcohol into it.

After the alcohol was finished, Shen Yunzhe took out a lighter. The moment the flame touched the alcohol, there was a bang, and the fire circle burned directly, burning from Lu Xiaoxiao's clothes to the inside.

"Meow!"

The cat couldn't hold on any longer, so it crawled out of its shell. At the same time, countless people went up to this floor. They were all killed people who were made into shells by the cat. They crawled like cats, made cat sounds, and quickly climbed up the stairs, the wall, and the elevator.

The onlookers were terrified. He slammed the door shut and dared not look out again.

Countless dead bodies rushed over. Codename Hope pulled Shen Yunzhe over and threw him behind him. In the light of the fire, Codename Hope's eyes were very bright. When he stood in front of Shen Yunzhe, no corpse dared to take a step forward.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the little girl's crying could be faintly heard.

The dead little girl stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, her crying getting louder and louder.

"Mom, don't throw away my doll."

"She's my baby."

"I want to grow up with her, she is my best friend, and we will always be together."

"Mom, give her back to me."

The girl did not wait for her doll, nor did she wait for her mother's apology. The discarded doll combined with the strange object and turned into such a monster. The cat was roaring and the girl was crying. There were corpses everywhere, ready to move. At that moment, it was a horrifying scene that ordinary people could never imagine in their lifetime.

Finally, the cat left unwillingly, the girl's crying slowly disappeared, and everything was retreating.

Codename Hope looked at the flames burning on the girl's body. He stretched out his hand to touch her, but was grabbed by Shen Yunzhe.

"So warm and bright." Codename Hope tried to explain, "I like it."

"No." Shen Yunzhe held his hand, "You'll get burned."

But Codename Hope never cared about getting hurt, he even desperately hoped that he could get hurt.

Codename hoped that he would hold his hand, but he did not try to break free. He leaned on Shen Yunzhe's shoulder, looking towards the window in front of him.

"Shen Yunzhe." Codename Hope said, "It's dawn."

Ding Dong.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yunzhe's cell phone rang urgently. Shen Yunzhe took out his own cell phone from the pocket of Codename Hope and found that the caller was Qiao Dong. He realized almost immediately that the medium had been burned and the Black Cat's blockade of the community had been broken.

"Hurry up." Shen Yunzhe gave Codename Hope a push, "Don't let the officials find you."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly went downstairs.

Watching Shen Yunzhe leave, Codename Hope tilted his head. A moment later, he was attracted by the fire under his feet again. Shen Yunzhe was no longer there to stop him, so he carefully put his fingertips into the fire. The moment the flames burned his fingertips, he retracted his fingertips reflexively.

Codename Hope looked at his blackened fingertips and thought with interest: His brain has been abnormal for a long time, but his body is still normal.

That's really interesting.

The moment it was confirmed that people could enter and exit the community, officials immediately rushed in. The survivors opened the windows and ran out of the house crying. Although the medium was destroyed and the blockade here was opened, the black cat was still a black cat. It did not disappear and could escape in its shell.

Shen Yunzhe stood downstairs and answered the phone.

"Shen Yunzhe!" Qiao Dong said, "Stay where you are. I'll come find you now!"

"You're coming in person?"

"Don't play dumb, you know what I mean." Qiao Dong was obviously more serious than before, "The player you're with is very important."

Shen Yunzhe raised his head and saw Codename Xiwang lying on the windowsill upstairs, looking at him. When he saw Shen Yunzhe looking at him, he waved at him, like a child playing hide-and-seek, his heart full of joy. Shen Yunzhe realized that he might have done something to make himself happy.

...Catch the fire.

Shen Yunzhe made a gesture towards him, and Code Name Hope looked very happy, as if he was in the mood to listen to Shen Yunzhe.

He disappeared from this floor without a trace.

Qiao Dong brought official people over. They surrounded the entire community and took all the survivors out, but they couldn't find the mysterious player after digging deep into the ground.

Under siege, the black cat ran out of the community, and soon the news spread that Lu Xiaoxiao's parents were bitten to death by a cat. The authorities followed the area, but they couldn't even find the bodies, so they could only continue the blockade and search.

Shen Yunzhe felt the satisfaction and excitement coming from the other side, and confirmed that Codename Hope must be having a lot of fun.

Okay, free range baby.
