In the early morning, the rumbling sound of car horns woke Lu Zhi from his light sleep.
She sat up from her bed, looked out the window at the train tracks suspended in the air, and quickly got out of bed.
She was already prepared when she received the invitation, so she was now dressed neatly and wearing sneakers.
Something strange happened.
A straight crack appeared on the wall in front of Lu Zhi, and then the wall opened to both sides like a switch twisting.
The night was silent.
“Buzz!”
The track under my feet extended all the way into the house. With a roar, the track shook violently, and the floor under my feet shook along with it.
The whistling wind blew up her long hair, and Lu Zhi squinted her eyes and looked at the whistling train coming towards her.
The train finally stopped in front of her, the door creaked open, and a man jumped out. He was an old acquaintance.
...
...
Unexpectedly, they met again here. Hao Shuai jumped down with shining eyes, waved his arms and ran towards her, shouting as he ran: "Sister Lu!"
Hao Shuai was also a temporary member of the H203 Scream Train. After boarding the train, Lu Zhi was led by him to the second-class compartment.
[Welcome dear temporary passengers to board the Scream Train H203. This train will pass [Nun Orphanage], [The Only Oasis] and arrive at the final destination [Forgotten Aspic]]
Lu Zhi had just sat down and the bench hadn't even warmed up yet when the first stop arrived.
[The train has stopped at [Nun Orphanage]. Players are requested to escape from the orphanage within the specified time and return to the Screaming Train alive! ]
Lu Zhi and Hao Shuai got off the train together. There were a lot of players on the Scream Train. She took a few casual glances and saw that there were a mix of new and old players.
On the platform, the two were separated by the system.
[Welcome player Lu Zhi to the infinite flow game, I am the qualification examiner 9987 for this dungeon]
A familiar escape copy appeared in front of me, a pitch-black orphanage. It might not be possible to escape by climbing over the wall. I have to get the key hanging around the nun's neck... ?
[Dear player Lu Zhi, welcome to the escape dungeon. Please escape from the nun orphanage and continue your journey on the screaming train. There are 6,000 players and 1,458,951 NPCs playing with you.]
[Players who successfully ride the Screaming Train will be considered to have cleared the dungeon and will receive a basic dungeon clearance reward of 500 points]
The same old story, the familiar Zhou Paopi
Lu Zhi glanced at the unreclaimed space, and didn't know whether to call it generous or stingy.
The next second, her eyes went dark and her body suddenly shrank.
It was finally decided that she would be a fifteen-year-old girl.
The musty smell in the air was a little strong. The girl curled up in the simple wooden bed opened her eyes and looked around with sharp eyes.
Lu Zhi sat up in bed, and the shabby wooden bed beneath him creaked, which was particularly clear in the silent night.
Suddenly, she heard muffled footsteps coming from the corridor. Her body reacted faster than her brain could think. She subconsciously lay down again, covered her neck with the cold, thin quilt, and closed her eyes.
“Squeak—”
The wooden door was pushed open by the visitor, and a black shadow moved quickly in the light, shuttling through the room with dozens of bunk beds.
Lu Zhi slowed down his breathing and pretended to be asleep.
The footsteps are getting closer.
The dark shadow stopped beside her.
Even without opening his eyes, Lu Zhi could feel the creepy gaze staring at him.
After a moment, the hoarse voice of the visitor rang out in the silent night: "Don't think I didn't hear you! You refuse to change despite repeated admonitions! You are arrogant! The naughty child will be punished by the Lord!"
The next moment, Lu Zhi felt a darkness before his eyes.
The sound of heavy breathing hit her cheek. The man leaned over and lay in front of her face, staring at her, just to catch her not sleeping well so as to have a reason to "punish" her.
After an unknown amount of time, the breathing sound in front of his face seemed to disappear, but Lu Zhi still couldn't let down his guard. His chest rose and fell, and his breathing rhythm was steady and natural.
Until there was another "creak" sound, and someone couldn't wait to open his eyes.
All I heard was a shrill scream: "Ah!"
The old monk who had been waiting for this moment smiled sadly and kept muttering: "May the Lord have mercy on your soul! Damn it, go to hell and repent for your sins and stupidity!"
With a "whoosh", the stick smashed the round and fragile skull, and blood splattered on the moldy ceiling boards.
The nasal cavity was filled with not only a musty smell, but also a strong smell of blood.
The old nun snorted and laughed, breathing heavily, and the rough wooden stick in her hand was dripping with blood.
She licked the blood on her cheek with her long crimson tongue, and looked around to find the child who refused to go to bed.
After waiting quietly for an unknown amount of time, the old nun sighed with some disappointment and joy: "The ones chosen by my Lord are all good children. The Lord will save you sooner or later."
The dull footsteps gradually faded away, the door was closed again, and the light coming in from the corridor outside was gradually devoured by the darkness.
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the door, and suddenly his eyes caught sight of a black shadow that had never moved under the crack of the door.
Her heart tightened and she suddenly closed her eyes again.
The next second after she closed her eyes, the girl in the next bed opened her eyes, looked around tentatively, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the old nun was not there.
She lifted up the cold thin blanket on her body.
The quilt had obviously had many owners. The cotton fluff inside had clumped and lost its shape. The left corner was bulging, while the right corner was empty with only two thin layers of quilt covers left.
The girl had never suffered such an injustice.
She muttered and cursed the damn infinite flow game, while tiptoeing to get out of bed.
It turned out that the facilities here were extremely old. The bed boards creaked, wood chips fell to the ground, and the screws swayed unsteadily.
When she moved, the old nun guarding the door showed her ferocious fangs, reached out and slowly pushed the door open, and poked her head in through the crack.
The old nun stared at the stiff girl with wide eyes. The blood-stained stick standing at her side cast a dark shadow under her, and her grinning lips revealed her blood-red gums.
"Ah!" The girl was frightened by her sudden attack and her sharp cry was particularly harsh in the silent night.
She jumped down from the upper bunk in panic and looked around. When she saw the window, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Only when she got closer could she see clearly - the windowsill was higher than her shoulders, and the window was sealed tightly with thin wooden bars, so that not even a fly could get in.
Now she couldn't escape from the front, and the old nun who was pressing her from behind had raised her stick and was swinging at her.
Lu Zhi also opened her eyes at this time, and in the dim light of the weak corridor light, she could clearly see the environment she was in and the old nun who was facing away from her.
The skin on the back of the old nun's exposed hands was rough and loose, and her black robe was wrinkled and had traces of severe mending. Just like the furnishings in the orphanage, it was an old item.
The raised stick seemed to be swung lightly, but the girl was knocked to the ground heavily, and finally thick blood spilled out.
She felt as if her internal organs were out of place, and she rolled on the ground in pain, wishing she could bite her tongue to commit suicide.
The old nun did not give her a chance. She grabbed the girl's long hair tightly with one hand and dragged her all the way to the corridor outside the door, ignoring her shrill cries for mercy.
At Guanmen Mountain, the old nun glanced around the room: "Even hell can't wash away your sins! I think I should use my own methods to punish the child abandoned by the Lord!"
"Don't let me catch you again, you disgusting stinking rats!"
