Click——
Suddenly, I stepped on something crunchy, and with a little force, it broke.
Mo Qin turned the small flashlight to look at the ground below, and the flashlight also flickered in coordination. Just when it shone on something white, "pop" the flashlight went out completely.
At first glance, I saw a few white, slightly curved things that looked like bones.
They were small and brittle. If they were indeed human bones, they could only be those of a child.
The surroundings were dark, and the smell of decay and earth became stronger and stronger, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from far away.
The footsteps were light and slow, and there was more than one person.
At this time, the flashlight came back on. Mo Qin pushed aside and took a look at the thing. It was indeed a child's bones, real bones, not a prop.
Mo Qin had long felt that something was wrong with this place, so she wasn't too scared when she saw this thing. She shone the flashlight in the direction of the sound. The faint light couldn't reach the end of the corridor, so she could only vaguely see a few figures.
They moved stiffly and slowly, stepping towards this side bit by bit.
There seemed to be wind blowing around, the rags hanging on the ceiling swayed, and black shadows flashed by.
Mo Qin held the flashlight in one hand and took a few steps back, saying that they were staff members, but the smell on them was really bad.
Mo Qin hesitated for a while between escaping and confronting head-on, and finally decided not to rush.
If you injure someone, you have to pay compensation.
Not worth it.
There is an elevator in this building, and there is a sign next to the elevator. It will only reflect a bright green light when the light is shone on it.
Just as Mo Qin walked to the front of the elevator, the number on the elevator suddenly lit up. It was a red '1' with an upward arrow next to it.
It sounded like someone was taking the elevator up from the first floor.
Mo Qin is on the third floor. The building has seven floors in total.
The safety passage at the end of the corridor was locked at some point, and there were old and rusty locks on the doors of the rooms on both sides of the corridor.
Mo Qin tried to push the door. A layer of dust fell on the lock. The wooden door panel shook and creaked, but there was no sign of it opening.
Wooden doors should be easy to break...
No, when did the door here become made of wood?
Squeak——
There was the sound of a door opening to the right.
Just as Mo Qin turned her head to look, the door in front of her disappeared and turned into a dark hole.
A hand reached out from inside, grabbed Mo Qin's arm and pulled her in.
The person who pulled her was an acquaintance, Xie Chen. He was still wearing casual clothes, but this time he was not wearing a mask or a hat.
If she hadn't met him under such circumstances, Mo Qin would have thought that he was also here to play.
The room the two were in was still part of the building.
A thick, long candle was lit in the middle of the room. There were doors on three walls of the small room, and a talisman was pasted on each door. The only wall without a door had a window.
There was nothing to see outside the window, like a night without the moon or stars.
But in fact it is only a little after two in the afternoon.
It wasn't dark at all.
In the dim light, Xie Chen's originally handsome face looked a little gloomy. In such an environment, all his nerves were tense.
In contrast, Mo Qin was more relaxed, her tone as if she had met an acquaintance somewhere in the city, "You're here too?"
Xie Chen cleared his throat, his low voice carrying a hint of guilt that only he understood:
"Just happened to come...to do a mission."
A few days ago, he heard Lin Sen say in the dormitory that Mo Qin was coming to this place. He had some impression of this name as he had seen it in the task list.
The task seemed quite simple from the description, but the bid was too low. It had been posted there for several days with no one taking it, so he naturally didn't plan to take it.
But for some reason, he ran over and took on the task.
He arrived in the morning and after noticing something unusual here, he was quickly targeted by the things here and trapped in the building.
I originally thought he was just a small character who secretly devoured people's essence, so he didn't bring much with him. I never thought he would get caught here.
The few talismans posted in this room alone are worth more than the value of the task itself.
Only hard-working people who are dedicated to leveling up will take on jobs like this.
This wave of blood loss.
Mo Qin wasn't surprised. "Are you alone?"
This was just a casual question.
Xie Chen felt a little embarrassed. His current situation was indeed not good. He had come here to catch monsters, but was caught by the monsters instead.
He explained: "It was indeed a bit hasty."
"I only realized the seriousness of the situation when I came in. I have already sent a message for help, and help will arrive before dark."
Now all you have to do is wait here.
Xie Chen's gaze fell on Mo Qin. "They usually don't kill their customers. How did they target you?"
They deliberately left her alone and blocked off the entire floor to trap her, obviously not intending to let her go.
According to experience, they would not let people die here directly, but would take the body and wait for the person to get out, and then die in an accident a few days later.
That way, no one would suspect that you were here.
At least not directly.
Mo Qin recalled, "Ah, it was probably around noon, I rejected their gift."
"Gift?"
Xie Chen had never been to the restaurant here, so naturally he didn't know about this.
"Hmm, a red drink."
Mo Qin brushed it off lightly with a few words, paying more attention to the talismans pasted on the wall.
Apart from what she had seen in that book, this was the second time she had come into contact with the talisman in this world. Last time, she didn't even have the courage to observe it carefully.
"Did you draw these symbols?"
Xie Chen denied it, saying, "I bought all of these from that website."
He also paints some, but the quality of his paintings is not as good as the ones sold, so he usually buys them.
This is also why no one takes tasks with low bids.
It’s not even enough to cover the cost of completing a mission.
Mo Qin praised, "The painting is not bad."
Seeing that she was very interested in these things, Xie Chen asked, "How are you reading that book?"
He didn't even ask if I had learned it, probably because he felt that it was too difficult to learn it by myself.
As soon as he said this, Mo Qin came over immediately and said, "I drew some myself, and they just happened to be on me. Take a look at how I drew."
She took out a piece of yellow paper from her bag.
The red characters on yellow paper are smooth, light and powerful, appearing to be completed in one go. The key is that the energy contained in it is strong and domineering. You don't need to look closely to know that it is a talisman of excellent quality.
Xie Chen flipped through the talismans one by one, shocked:
"You drew all of this?"
I thought he was a rookie, but I didn't expect him to be a big shot.
