Chapter 114
Time goes back to a short time ago.
In a dark room full of pig faces.
Xu Ming maintained a bent posture, staring at the pig faces outside the door quietly, and felt that the surroundings were so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat.
... The next second, the pig face raised up again and suddenly disappeared.
With a burst of rapid footsteps, the sneakers parked outside gradually moved away. Then there was another burst of fragmented conversations, the voices were very low. From Xu Ming's position, he could not hear the specific content, but he could be sure that there were more than one person participating in the conversation, and there were both men and women.
After a while, the footsteps sounded again. This time, more feet stopped outside the door. Another pig face poked down and looked into the room through the door. The difference was that it was actually talking this time. A gentle female voice came out of the flat pig mouth:
"Hello, can you hear me? Please don't be afraid, we are not bad people... Excuse me, are you trapped here too?
" "The one inside is... um, a young lady, right? We can help you open this door, but for the sake of safety, I hope you can provide an identity certificate. Sister, is it okay? Sister?"
Xu Ming: "..."
The person's voice was somewhat familiar. Xu Ming frowned even more tightly, and after pondering for a moment, he tentatively raised his voice: "Sister Du Rong?" "
?" "The pig-headed man who was talking outside the door was obviously startled, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know that I am really... Eh? Gu Ming? Could you be Gu Ming?"
Xu Ming responded carefully, and the pig-headed man immediately stood up. Soon, There were more voices coming from outside the door. Xu Ming pressed against the door and faintly heard some words like "I know her" and "She's my relative's younger sister".
After a while, there was a strange clicking sound from outside. The door was completely opened from the outside, and a slightly dazzling light came in from outside, which made Xu Ming dizzy for a moment.
She opened her eyes wide and tried to look outside. After seeing the situation outside the door clearly, she was stunned again.
Outside the door... outside the door was another pile of pig heads.
In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is overwhelming - the other side of the door is a space much larger than the room she is in, and the surrounding... The walls were still covered with skinny pig faces, and even the ceiling was covered with a thick layer of wide pig ears stacked like tiles. When she looked up, she felt indescribable shock and weirdness.
Not only that - there were several people with pig heads standing at her door.
At a glance, there were six people, of different heights and clothes. Some were even wearing school uniforms, bathrobes, and pajamas. The only thing in common was the pig head masks on their faces.
Soon after, one of them lifted the pig face on his face with force, revealing most of his face hidden underneath, and waved at Xu Ming repeatedly:
"Gu Ming! Gu Ming, come here - why did you come in? Are you okay? "
It's really Du Rong. "
When Xu Ming's eyes met, his heart suddenly moved, as if he realized something, and his eyes swept over the people wearing pig heads next to him again.
"Fortunately, I'm fine. Sister Du Rong, may I ask what is going on now..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Du Rong suddenly raised a finger and made a gesture to her to keep quiet. Then her eyes looked at the people next to her. Seeing one of them nodded slightly, Du Rong seemed to be relieved, and quickly stepped forward and pulled Xu Ming aside.
"Are you okay? How long have you been in there? "Oh my God, why are you here too? You must be scared..." Du Rong said softly, her eyes lingering on Xu Ming until she confirmed that Xu Ming was really fine. Then she closed her eyes and took a long breath, and asked Xu Ming if he remembered what he had done before she came.
It happened that Xu Ming was confused about the situation at the moment. Seeing this, he simply chose to play dumb and only answered Du Rong's questions without mentioning anything else. While speaking, he did not forget to secretly observe Du Rong in front of him. Rong's state -
the speed and tone of her speech, are all the same as in her memory. The worry on her face does not seem fake. The clothes on her body are relatively light, but they are obviously clothes for going out. She also wears a badge-shaped work nameplate on her chest, which is consistent with the time and state of Du Rong's disappearance in reality...
It seems that this is the real Du Rong, yes.
Xu Ming secretly made a judgment in his heart; on the other hand, Du Rong on the opposite side covered her face and closed her eyes helplessly because of her answer.
"Sure enough, you also came in because of replying to the post." Du Rong sighed undisguisedly, "Damn it, I wouldn't have dragged you to the forum earlier, what kind of thing is this..."
"It's none of Sister Rong's business, I couldn't sleep at night and was browsing my phone. "Xu Ming said, his eyes secretly looking at the other pig-headed people not far away - they were now walking in groups towards the room where she had been before, and it seemed that they were looking for something inside.
"So Sister Rong, what is the situation now..." Xu Ming showed a bit of fear at the right time.
"...You may not believe it when I tell you." In response to her, it was Du Rong's serious expression in an instant, "Gu Ming, we traveled through time."
Xu Ming: "..."
"Really. We traveled into a small world generated by forum posts." Du Rong emphasized again with a serious face, "I know this may be difficult for you to accept, but this is the fact. More importantly, there is not much time for you to adapt now... This world is very dangerous, you must stand up quickly, do you understand? "
Xu Ming: "…………"
"Yeah, I see." Xu Ming paused, and decided to follow Du Rong's words, "Then Sister Rong, how can we escape from here?"
"It's hard to say for now." Du Rong said, "Actually, I just came here not long ago, and I'm still looking for clues with others."
"But don't be afraid, and don't worry - remember the 'blood water tea' I told you about? The big guy with an official background? "
Du Rong lowered her voice and quietly pointed towards the door. Xu Ming followed her gaze and his sight finally locked on a tall pig-headed man - the man looked very tall, but thin. Wearing a plaid shirt and wide trousers, he was leaning over to talk to other people in the room. While talking, he raised his hand to gesture, revealing an extremely conspicuous jade bracelet on his wrist.
Xu Ming's gaze stayed on the man for a moment, and his brows unconsciously wrinkled again:
"Sister Rong, you mean, that person is..."
"Yes." Du Rong's voice was still very low, but her tone was a little more determined, "We all came in because of replying to posts, and the same goes for Master Xueshui, but he uses a small account."
Xu Ming's brows wrinkled even more: "Then how do you know he is?"
"He recognized him himself. "Du Rong argued, "Not only that...like just now, weren't you trapped in a room? All of us were like this at the beginning, but we were trapped in different rooms..."
"It was Master Xueshui who found the door of the secret room one by one and let us out. And he escaped by himself, do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Ming: "..."
Xu Ming thought he didn't really want to understand; after a moment of silence, he tried again: "Then what you are wearing now..."
"It was also suggested by Master Xueshui!" Du Rong said without hesitation, "You will know after you try it on. You may not understand what I am saying... But after putting it on, what you can see is really completely different from before."
Du Rong finished speaking and looked over encouragingly. The body that was standing upright suddenly moved to the side, as if making way for something, and turned back after a while.
Seeing this, Xu Ming's eyebrows jumped again.
"Is it okay not to wear it?" She asked tentatively. Seeing Du Rong's embarrassed expression, she added, "It's nothing, I just asked casually. It's this time, there's no need to be picky."
"Sister Rong, what should we do now?"
Du Rong frowned slightly when she heard this.
"I don't know the details. Boss Xueshui just kept leading us through the maze, constantly looking for doors... like the room you just left. From what he said, the exit might be behind a door, but we haven't found it yet."
...So how did he know this?
Xu Ming's eyes turned slightly, but his expression didn't change. He just asked again, "Then may I ask, is there anything I can help with?
" "Sister Rong, please feel free to ask me anything I can help with." I'm not afraid of anything, as long as you can take me away from this damn place in the end!"
Du Rong responded to her by nodding without hesitation. Then Du Rong made a gesture to her, asking her to wait where she was, and she put the pig face back on her face, turned around and walked quickly towards the "Blood Tea".
The latter was still busy directing others to explore the room, and when he saw Du Rong coming, he just nodded indifferently. Du Rong leaned over and whispered a few words, and saw that the pig-headed man suddenly straightened up, raised his head and looked at Xu Ming, and quickly retracted his gaze.
The murmur of conversation rang again, but this time, Xu Ming could obviously hear less -
"You make it difficult for me... It's not an outing, the more people the better."
"I can already lead five people at my own limit. Adding another ordinary person, it's simply——" "
Okay, okay, you can let her go. But remember one thing, my team does not allow idiots or pretty girls. If you violate the rules, no matter what your relationship with her is, I will definitely kick her out..." "
I understand. Forget it, who asked me to be kind? "
The conversation ended with Du Rong nodding continuously, and then she turned around and took Xu Ming back. At this time, the people who had entered the room to explore also came out, and Du Rong took this opportunity to quickly introduce Xu Ming to his companions. In
addition to her and the boss "Blood Tea", there are four other people in the team now. One of them is the "Pig Face Boy" in school uniform, who has a close relationship with the boss in the forum; the one in pajamas, whose online name and nickname are both "Crispy", is one of the authors who participated in the joint article. The Pig Face Boy they are in now space, which is derived from the content he created; there is also one in a bathrobe, whose forum id is "47678479", a string of random numbers; the last one is dressed the most normally, a complete set of fashionable casual clothes, and his id is called "Ai Cao Xiang".
Several people came in because they were on the same floor and were familiar with each other's ids; however, this was the first time they met offline. Because Du Rong stuttered a little when introducing.
Xu Ming just listened quietly, his eyes kept scanning the blood water boss who was standing in the most conspicuous position-and after Du Rong finally finished the introduction, he whispered tentatively.
"Sister Rong." She poked people quietly, her eyes still staring at the pig-headed man a few steps away, "Are you sure that person is really the blood water tea? "
Du Rong obviously didn't expect that she was still entangled in such a matter at this time, and nodded vigorously on the spot.
Xu Ming looked at the thick gold necklace on the other's neck, which was so conspicuous, and nodded after a moment of silence.
"Okay. If you say so, it's it."
She said softly, and slowly stood up.
She touched the heavy shoulder bag on her waist.
