Chapter 53
The moment Xingnuo jumped down, he felt a sudden sense of weightlessness.
The rapidly flowing air blew the corners of his clothes and hair into the air. Xingnuo covered his head and fell all the way to the bottom of the passage.
With a bang, like sliding down a slide, Xingnuo fell out from the exit below and lay face down on the ground.
If it was a human cub, Xingnuo would have been crying in pain by now, whimpering and waiting for his father to come and rub his body.
But as a rag doll, Xingnuo did not feel any pain.
However, the rag doll was covered with dust from the ground, and its entire body became dirty and gray.
The cotton doll moved, then slowly climbed up from the ground.
Xingnuo stood in front of the window, raised his little head and looked at the cupboard where he had just been.
In the glass cabinet, the green-headed doll woke up at some point and was lying on the glass bed, staring at Xingnuo.
Xingnuo smiled at him, waved his short arms, and said goodbye.
"I'm leaving~"
The green-headed doll looked at the clown doll's gradually moving away figure, with black Bean's eyes wide open, as if wondering, did it actually escape? !
He turned around and glanced at the exit of the underground passage in the far left corner, feeling somewhat confused.
It’s really strange, why did he never think of escaping when the exit was right in front of him?
The green-headed doll thought about it carefully and found that they were not so obedient at the beginning.
Initially transformed into rag dolls, they struggled fiercely and resisted bravely, trying to escape and seek a chance to become human again.
But when the first one fails, and the third one fails...
Too many people failed, and in the end, all the dolls became quiet, their memories gradually became blurred, and it seemed that their bodies and minds were developing into real rag dolls.
When a person loses the courage to resist, he will become a real puppet.
The green-headed doll, who had figured it out, suddenly woke up, and looking at Xingnuo's figure that had disappeared into the darkness, he wanted to open his mouth and call him.
But he had stayed there for too long and was almost assimilated into the rag doll mentality.
After struggling and hesitating for a long time, the green-headed doll finally closed its mouth and sat back quietly.
Forget it, the clown doll is gone.
He was the only green-headed doll left, and the next customer who came to buy the doll would have no choice but to take it away himself.
By then, I will also be a doll with an owner.
***
In the pitch-black night, a tiny rag doll, not even as big as a human foot, was struggling to move forward along the street.
There are many benefits to becoming a rag doll.
For example, Xingnuo will not get tired, and will not feel pain in the feet even after walking a long distance; there is no need for light, and the eyes can clearly see the road in the dark.
Thinking of this, Xingnuo became happy again, and trotted forward on his two rag doll feet that were a little worn by the ground.
He walked a very long way, through the night, through several alleys, and finally, his vision became clear.
Looking up, Xingnuo saw the most prosperous place in the world——
The central city where the players of the horror world are located.
This is the most lively and noisy place in the central city. Skyscrapers are rising from the ground, and each building is lit up all night long.
Trains floating in the air are no longer a fantasy. Trains rush back and forth, transporting players to various dungeons.
The cyberpunk-style city really shocked the little kid who had never seen the world.
Xingnuo raised his head and felt his eyes filled with brilliant and mottled electronic light.
On the largest electronic screen in the central city, information of various players is constantly flashing, and the rankings are updated and changed in real time.
Countless players stopped to analyze the combat effectiveness of various bosses.
The electronic mechanical system sound continued to sound:
[Player "Shuaike" snatches S-level props! 】
[Player "Xue Luoyu" cleared the A-level copy! Get the most perfect achievement and double your points! 】
[Player…]
One notification after another announced the players' brilliant achievements, but also mourned their deaths and disappearances.
Several players standing in front of the electronic screens shook their heads and sighed.
"What's wrong with these S-level bosses? They haven't been challenging S-level dungeons lately."
"There's nothing we can do. I heard that SSS+ level monsters have been appearing in dungeons for unknown reasons recently. The dungeon level is increasing too fast, and even ordinary bosses can't handle it!"
"Where's the last player who came out of the castle exploration dungeon? Did you get any information about him? He actually survived a SSS+ level monster! It seems like he has some skills!"
A player who was in charge of asking around sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"What I heard is no different from what others have heard. They all said that they survived because they clung to the young master of the castle and gained favorability."
The other player was obviously a little unconvinced and sneered coldly.
"What a lame excuse! If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Who would believe that a little monster in an ancient castle can help humans? I'm lucky enough not to stab you!"
"What about the other zombie copy?"
"There's no need to ask about that. The monster only stayed there for a few minutes. I heard he was looking for his brother."
"...Monster's brother? They're organizing a group to come to the dungeon!"
Xingnuo was a small guy. He peeked out from the alley and finally lay down next to a trash can, listening to the players talking.
It's a pity that I didn't hear anything useful. Xingnuo couldn't quite understand what they were talking about zombies and castle copies.
Shaking his little head, Xingnuo simply moved to the other side little by little and continued to listen to the older brothers and sisters talking.
There are not many big players who have cleared the A-level dungeon recently. As the players discussed it over and over again, the topic inevitably turned to the current top player in the group, Wen Xingxue.
"Tell me, how come Wen Xingxue is so bold that he always challenges S+ or higher dungeons?"
"You're talking about him! He's just a lunatic!"
"I think it's okay. If we meet in a dungeon, I'll definitely feel safe!"
"What sense of security? He always has a gloomy face. Who knows if he will kill you if we run into him?"
Someone was saying bad things about Wen Xingxue when the electronic screen suddenly flashed.
[Congratulations to player Wen Xingxue for completing the S+ dungeon, Snowy Town! 】
As soon as the electronic mechanical sound fell, a blue and white light circle flashed under the huge electronic screen, and Wen Xingxue's figure appeared in the same place.
He still had a knife on his waist, wore black clothes and black pants, and this time he also wore a black mask.
Wen Xingxue seemed to have heard the bad things the players were saying about her. She lowered her eyes and a gloomy and cold air emanated from her whole body.
He walked towards the players step by step, his voice was hoarse, rough, sticky and cold like a reptile.
"Get out of the way."
He seemed to have a bad temper, was cold and irritable, and was always suppressing his murderous rage.
The players lowered their heads and instantly scattered like birds and animals, leaving a clear path for Wen Xingxue.
Xingnuo's legs were too short and he had no time to run, so he was exposed next to the trash can on the path.
But luckily he was just an ugly baby and could just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
Lying next to the trash can, Xingnuo tilted his little neck and looked at the high-rise buildings shining with neon electronic lights.
Wen Xingxue walked over without stopping and glanced down at the ugly rag doll at her feet.
Looking up, he thought:
So ugly.
Who would take away a doll like this?
When Xingnuo was about to slowly get up and go somewhere else to look for news about his father, his little body suddenly felt lighter.
Wen Xingxue, wearing a black mask and with a hoarse voice, picked up the clown doll and held it in front of his eyes, staring at it.
Xingnuo was very smart and knew that he had to play dead when facing strangers. He kept his little body motionless and didn't even dare to blink.
Wen Xingxue stared at the little rag doll for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and poked the frizzy hair on his head.
“Something like that.”
Like the little master in the castle, who was drowsy and had a mess of frizzy hair.
Wen Xingxue's mouth under the mask seemed to be pulled, but unfortunately Xingnuo couldn't see it, so he could only keep his little eyes open and continue pretending to be dead.
Wen Xingxue casually put the doll into his pocket, put on his hood, and quickly left the place.
The players breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the terrifying boss leave.
"Wen Xingxue likes dolls?"
"It looks like a prayer doll. Actually, this kind of doll is just a pendant. It can only be used to block damage in critical moments. It is not comparable to other D-level items."
"Then what did he take it back for?"
Most players buy wish dolls because they cannot afford the props, so spending a cheap price to buy them is better than nothing.
Nor do they really expect these dolls to fulfill their wishes.
Otherwise, the wishing dolls would have been priceless and hard to come by.
Wen Xingxue, who was hotly discussed by the players, hurriedly avoided the crowd and returned to his residence.
He was not like the other big guys on the leaderboard, who used their points to live in the most luxurious house and enjoy the pleasure of overlooking the entire central city.
Wen Xingxue lives a simple life. She lives in a small courtyard on the edge of the central city.
Remote and quiet, no one disturbs us.
Wen Xingxue returned home, took off his hood, and tore off the black mask on his face.
Wen Xingxue took out the clown doll he had just picked up, looked at it for a while, threw it on the table, turned around and walked out with a knife.
Xingnuo, who was picked up and thrown around, lay obediently on the table without moving.
Seeing Xingxue leave, he turned his little head little by little and began to look around the house.
The layout of the room is extremely simple, with only white walls and no decorative ornaments.
You can almost see the bottom at a glance.
