Chapter 150 Kill
As soon as the girl finished speaking, a black and red heart silently appeared in the air, with a weak electric current lingering around it. It was obvious that Lu Yan had triggered another random task. The cold mechanical sound of the system made the room even more eerie:
[Ding! Please win the hide-and-seek game before dawn. Success will reward you with a supernatural power upgrade. Failure will result in the system killing you! Because the risk factor of this mission is too high, please read the following rules carefully:
1. Don’t refuse any request from the little girl.
2. She is everywhere.
3. Don’t disturb your dad who is cooking soup (something dangerous might happen).
4. Dad is a good man and you can ask him for help when necessary.
5. One of the above rules is false. 】
The prompt that popped up in the system made Lu Yan's brain completely crash. He felt as if he had entered into some kind of strange game with rules. Once the rules were violated, uncontrollable things would happen.
Seeing that the clock on the wall had already pointed to twelve o'clock, the sun would rise in four or five hours, and time was very tight.
Lu Xiaozhao was a little anxious: "Brother, is she sick? She is sitting right across from us and she wants us to find her."
Lu Yan signaled Lu Xiaozhao to keep quiet and his eyes fell on the little girl opposite him. She was sitting at the dining table, playing with her doll with her head down and humming the eerie song. Her mother was sitting beside her, looking at her with a smile, accompanied by the "dong dong dong" sound of chopping meat coming from the kitchen, with an indescribable sense of oppression.
"I want to hold your hand and play hide-and-seek together...
Under the cabinet, inside the pillow, I'm watching you on the wall...
Blackstone Street, No. 16, if you don’t come I’ll find you…”
Under the cabinet? Under the pillow? I'm watching you from the wall?
Lu Yanmin extracted the key information. He looked around and found a bedroom inside. He asked, "Excuse me, can I go into the room and take a look?"
The little girl's mother smiled and tilted her head, which made her upside-down face look even more terrifying: "Of course you can, but don't mess anything up."
Lu Yan: "Thank you."
Lu Yan opened the door and walked into the bedroom, followed closely by Lu Xiaozhao. There was a pink princess bed inside, with a carved wardrobe and a dressing table beside it. It was obviously a little girl's room.
Lu Yan first picked up the pink pillow on the bed and took a look at it. He felt that the texture was wrong as soon as he touched it. It was not stuffed with light and fluffy things like cotton or velvet, but a heavy and hard "stone".
He vaguely sensed something, frowned and unzipped the box, only to see a mess of moldy cotton inside. He plucked it a few times and suddenly touched something hard. He took it out and found it was a child's head! It was covered with dry hair and tied with an old bow.
"!!!"
Holy shit!!
Lu Yan was so scared that he almost threw his head away. This is not the way to play hide-and-seek. It looks like a murder scene! Lu Xiaozhao was also shocked. He tried to steady his hands and said tremblingly, "Brother, I, I, I... I finally understand. She asked us to play hide-and-seek. Could it be that we have to find her body to pass the level?"
Lu Yan: "Then can you help me look for it?"
Lu Xiaozhao immediately raised his phone and took three steps back: "No, my job is to follow and film."
Lu Yan: “…”
Lu Yan put his head aside and continued to move the closet. He found that one of the floor tiles below had obvious marks of dirt. He lifted it up and saw a wooden box buried under the yellow-brown soil. After opening the lid, he found a small white pelvic bone inside.
Lu Yan thought thoughtfully: "We have found the skull and pelvis, but where are the rest? Is it on the wall?"
He immediately put the bones aside and put the floor tiles and pillows back in place. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen next door seemed even more angry and rapid, as if urging his life to be restored.
“Boom boom boom!!!”
“Boom boom boom!!”
Lu Yan checked the bedroom wall and found nothing unusual. He walked out of the living room with Lu Xiaozhao and accidentally saw the family photo hanging on the wall. It seemed that the girl in the photo was staring at them through the glass frame.
I'm watching you from the wall.
Lu Yan remembered this reminder, hesitated for a moment, walked forward and took down the family photo, and saw that the whole wall was painted freshly, with only a patch of mottled cement wall exposed where the photo blocked the wall. He tried to pick it with his hand, and it was wet and soft, and it was not dry yet.
Could the rest of the body be hidden inside?
This thought made Lu Yan's heart skip a beat. He looked around but didn't see any handy tools. He subconsciously wanted to go to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife, but suddenly remembered the system's reminder "Don't disturb your father who is cooking soup", and stopped in his tracks.
No, you can’t go in. We don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen right now. It would be bad if we make a fuss.
Lu Yan simply took two steps back and kicked the wall hard. He used all his strength, and the wall was not solid to begin with, so spider-web-like cracks immediately appeared on it. With a loud bang, most of the wall collapsed, revealing a white corpse sealed in cement.
The remains of the little girl's body were actually hidden inside!!
Lu Xiaozhao exclaimed in surprise: "Brother! The bones are hidden in the cement!"
Before Lu Yan could be happy, he heard a sharp angry cry. His mother, who was smiling, looked gloomy. With a rustling sound, countless arms popped out from her clothes, like a ferocious humanoid spider. "How dare you mess up my things! I'm going to kill you!"
She stopped talking and walked towards Lu Yan step by step. Her footsteps were heavy, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the floor. Her arms lashed out like whips with strong winds. It was not difficult to imagine that if she was hit, she would be half dead.
“Bang!”
The tea was smashed to pieces in an instant!
Seeing this, Lu Yan's face changed and he quickly grabbed the frightened Lu Xiaozhao and dodged the attack. He was just thinking about how to find the body and actually forgot the ghost mother's warning not to mess things up!
"Hide in the corner and don't come out!"
Lu Yan stuffed Lu Xiaozhao behind the sofa and started a fierce fight with the ghost mother in the room. Only then did he finally realize how dangerous the "illusion wanderer" that netizen mentioned was. He lost three whole years after being whipped by the other party! What a fuck!
Netizens watching on the other side of the screen were also horrified:
[Oh my god! Could the host really be dead?! ]
[There are at least three ghosts in this room. How can he possibly defeat them all?]
The noodle shop owner was also in the live broadcast room. Seeing this, he posted a barrage of comments: [Brother! Use the exorcist sword to stab her! Stab her! And there is also an exorcist watch! ! ]
[Are you stupid? The anchor is lying. Do you really think that a watch can exorcise evil spirits? ]
[Of course I can! How did I survive if I can't?! Go away, I won't talk to anyone who doesn't buy a watch!]
Just as the comments section was in an uproar, the ghost mother's body swelled up as if she had taken a shot of hormones. She opened her mouth wide and wanted to swallow Lu Yan into her stomach. In a hurry, Lu Yan suddenly shouted loudly: "You are not beautiful when you are angry--!"
These words were like pressing the pause button; the ghost mother's movements suddenly froze in mid-air, and there was dead silence all around.
Lu Yan found this sentence useful, and quickly followed up with: "You are so beautiful, you must not get angry. You will get wrinkles if you get angry, and wrinkles will make you look old and not beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, the ghost mother's originally huge body instantly sank down like a balloon that had been punctured. She covered her face in panic and was very anxious: "Do I have wrinkles?! Do I have wrinkles?!"
While Lu Yan quickly dug the corpse out of the wall, he flattered her: "It hasn't grown out yet, but it will definitely grow if you get angry again. You are as beautiful as a flower, gentle and beautiful, why would you get angry?"
Under Lu Yan's comfort, the angry mother finally returned to normal. The living room had become a mess after the fight, but she seemed not to have seen it. She sat down at the dining table with her hands on her face, looking happy: "My dear, is mommy beautiful?"
The little girl giggled: "Beautiful, Mom, you are the most beautiful."
Lu Yan and Lu Xiaozhao hurriedly dug out the bones sealed in the cement. They roughly counted the number and found that they could just make up a complete corpse.
Lu Yan had no time to think about why there was a corpse sealed in the wall. He held the pile of scattered bones and placed them on the dining table. He leaned his hands on the edge of the table, stared straight at the little girl opposite him, and asked nervously in a low voice:
"I found you. Can the game end now?"
"Not yet..."
The girl faced Lu Yan. Her thick black hair seemed to hide a pair of invisible eyes. She spoke softly:
“You haven’t found all of me yet.”
Lu Yan's expression changed slightly.
The chopping sounds in the kitchen had died down at some point, and the only sound that could be heard was the bubbling of the soup pot. The aroma of meat wafted out from the crack in the door, mixed with the stench of a corpse and the damp smell of decay, which was almost nauseating.
What's cooking in the pot?
Now that we have found the bones, is there still a lack of flesh and blood?
Lu Yan felt it was unbelievable, but he couldn't control his feet and walked towards the kitchen. He gently pushed the kitchen door open a crack, and saw a man cooking soup in front of the stove with his back to them. The pot was full of meat and the soup was about to overflow. A black and white eyeball was cooked and exploded with a "pop" sound.
The man was still stirring the spoon and throwing unknown flesh and blood tissue into the pot. The cabinet below seemed to contain some living creature, which kept banging on the door, making a dull "bang bang bang" sound.
What to do?
Lu Yan's breathing quickened for a moment. He had never expected that the meat soup in "Dad's" pot was actually the body of the little girl. Now it was almost dawn. If he wanted to win the game, he had to take out the flesh and blood inside, but he was not sure whether "Dad" would suddenly turn into a monster and attack him.
Just as Lu Yan was hesitating, the little girl turned around without him noticing. She half-knelt on the chair, her dark and messy hair tangled wildly, making people think of some cold-blooded reptile. She asked softly:
"Brother, do you want some meat soup?"
Lu Yan did not answer the question directly: "When can your father serve the meat soup?"
The little girl said quietly, "He doesn't have enough meat to cook the soup. It will come out when there is enough."
The system once gave Lu Yan five tips:
First, you cannot refuse any request from the little girl. This has been verified in the live broadcast room. In the wanderer's fantasy world, you must abide by her game rules and cannot violate or refuse them.
Second, she was everywhere, as evidenced by the scattered body parts in the house.
Third: Don’t disturb your dad who is cooking soup (something dangerous might happen).
Fourth: Dad is a good man and you can ask him for help when necessary.
Fifth: One of the above rules is false.
Based on the rule of Article 5, Lu Yan has already eliminated one and two, and now only three and four are left.
At this time, the little girl reminded him softly, "Brother, it's almost dawn."
Weird girl, ugly mother, the only normal person in the room seems to be the father.
Lu Yan didn't know how the game in the illusion was set up. He only knew one thing: a beast that boiled his own daughter into meat soup could not be a good person.
There is something wrong with the fourth rule!!
"Bang--!"
In a flash, Lu Yan suddenly turned around and kicked open the kitchen door. When the flimsy glass door fell to the ground with a bang, the man who was cooking soup in the kitchen suddenly turned around. He was covered in blood, as if he had just experienced a murder. What he held in his hand was not a kitchen knife as he had imagined, but a sharp axe.
The man didn't look weird. He had all the necessary features, and they were all in the right places. When he saw Lu Yan, he even smiled gently and happily: "Oh, you're finally here!"
As he finished speaking, he slowly raised the axe in his hand, the smile on his face growing bigger and bigger, but what he said was creepy: "I'm running low on meat for the soup, so I've been waiting for you to come in."
The man walked towards Lu Yan step by step after he finished speaking. The axe in his hand suddenly swung towards him with a loud gust of wind. Seeing this, Lu Yan quickly dodged to the side, but did not want to fight. Instead, he quickly tore off two towels, picked up the bubbling meat soup on the stove, turned around and ran, shouting at Lu Xiaozhao at the top of his lungs:
“Run!!!!”
When Lu Yan ran out of the kitchen holding the pot of meat soup, the whole house suddenly began to shake. The illusion shattered, the originally clean ground turned into ruins, the snow-white walls turned into crumbling walls, the bright lights disappeared, and the whole person was instantly placed in a dark and terrifying night. There was no warm house there, only a crazy man covered in blood with an axe chasing after him.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaozhao was so frightened that he ran forward with his phone in hand: "Help! Help ...
Lu Yan was running for his life with a pot of soup in his hand, and couldn't help but swear: "Fuck, this pot of soup is scalding me! Come over here quickly and take it!"
Lu Xiaozhao cried and shook her head: "No, no! I'm a vegetarian and I can't stand the smell of meat!"
Just when the two of them were forced to run around in the streets, the pot in Lu Yan's hand suddenly vibrated, scaring him so much that he threw the pot out reflexively. The meat inside flew out and formed a bloody creature with the bones scattered on the ground. The eyes and eyebrows gradually became clear, and finally turned into a little girl with a bow on her head. She played with the doll in her hand and giggled: "Great! You found me, you win the game of hide-and-seek!"
She skipped over to Lu Yan and handed him a pair of old-fashioned scissors covered in blood and rust: "Use this to cut Dad's hair. Dad used this to cut my and Mom's hair. I'm giving it to you!"
The little girl's face was too pale to be that of a normal person. She had black eyes, a red mouth, and a dried blood mark on her neck, as if her blood vessels had been cut by some sharp weapon.
When the man saw this, he suddenly became furious and swung his axe at her. The little girl giggled and ran away, making a face at him: "I can't catch you~ I can't catch you~"
It was not until then that Lu Yan finally discovered something shocking—
This man has no feet!
The opponent's trouser legs were empty, with only a cloud of black smoke. It turned out that they were wrong from the beginning. The real illusion wanderer was not the little girl, but the man who was cooking soup in the kitchen!
The man killed his daughter and wife in a cruel way when he was alive. After his death, his soul lingered and he turned into an even more evil wanderer. He trapped the souls of his daughter and wife in his own illusion, forcing them to go out and lure living people for him. Once they walked into the kitchen, it would trigger his awakening!
The little girl stood far away, nestled in her mother's arms. She clapped her hands happily and jumped up and down: "Brother, please help my dad cut his hair. He hasn't had a haircut in a long time!"
While the little girl was talking, the man's axe had already chopped down fiercely. Seeing this, Lu Yan reflexively threw out two lightning bolts to hit the opponent. However, the man's movements only became slower and he did not stop attacking. The winding roads around him were like a maze and he could not reach the end no matter how hard he tried.
Lu Xiaozhao's legs finally went limp and he fell to the ground with a thud. He tremblingly took out a power bank from his trouser pocket and plugged it into his phone, saying breathlessly, "Brother... I... I can't run anymore... I really can't run anymore..."
Lu Yan's physical strength was also greatly consumed. He suddenly realized that he and Lu Xiaozhao were probably still in the man's illusion. Only by killing each other could they escape. Although he had no confidence in the rusty scissors in his hand, Lu Yan had no choice. He clenched his teeth silently, his eyes dimmed, and finally he clenched the scissors in his hand and rushed forward!
His body seemed to retain some kind of memory. Anything in his hands could be turned into a weapon, and he could chop, stab, cut, and pierce so fast that only the afterimage could be seen.
When the man saw the scissors, a look of fear suddenly flashed across his murderous face, and he stepped back to avoid it. Lu Yan seized the opportunity and kicked him to the ground. He then stabbed the scissors in his hand into the man's neck. With a scream of pain, the man's body began to struggle frantically, and then turned into a huge ball of black smoke, and finally exploded with a bang, completely turning into ashes.
“Bang—!”
A strong aftermath sent Lu Yan flying. He turned over swiftly in the air to dissipate the force, and slid for several meters on one hand before finally stabilizing his body. The maze-like road just now disappeared in an instant, and the little girl and her mother also disappeared along with the illusion. Only a long-abandoned street remained. The iron houseplate embedded in the wall fell off with a clang, and a line of faded characters was quietly written on it -
16 Blackstone Street.
The people living in the contaminated area are the lowest of the lowest. They cannot find work to exchange for food and time, so they can only curl up in this abandoned marginal area all year round. However, when people are forced into desperate situations, it is not uncommon for them to kill each other and eat their children. As for why the "father" killed his wife and daughter, the story is no longer traceable. In the end, the souls dissipated and everyone went to their own places.
The group of psychics hunted down a group of low-level wanderers deep in Blackrock Street, but they had no idea which illusion wanderers they were looking for. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to turn back. However, they didn't expect to see the ruins of a fight as soon as they walked out of the street. The air was filled with the smell of burnt things, which smelled a bit pungent.
Captain Shi Xuan frowned when he saw this, and immediately raised his hand to signal his teammates to stop. He squatted down and picked up a handful of dirt, stared at the marks scorched by lightning for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice: "There is a lightning power user nearby!"
Could it be that Xing Yuan is here? !
