Chapter 79

The idea of ​​opening the door by pulling the electric gate was actually only one of the reasons in the diary.

Another reason was that Xu Ming remembered that the rules he had seen before mentioned that "stable lighting can help residents maintain a stable mood, so for the safety of you and others, please do not touch the electric meter box in the building at will."

It is worth mentioning that this rule appeared after the abnormality occurred in the building. Because, the sentence "for the safety of you and others" is particularly intriguing.

Combined with what was said in the 401 diary, "forcing into the room with the electric meter box", Xu Ming had a vague guess.

Could it be that the so-called "stable lighting" is actually a means to suppress monsters? The meter rotates and the lighting continues, and the whole house becomes a cage filled with lights, strictly controlling the movements of the monsters in the house; and when the power switch is pulled down and the lighting is cut off, this control will be weakened, so the rules emphasize, "Don't touch the meter box"; this is also why 401 said, "I broke into the room with the meter box."

Of course, the above is just speculation - in fact, when Xu Ming pulled down the power switch, he didn't really know what to do. Fortunately,

the plan was successful... Although it was not quite what she thought, after all, in her imagination, both rooms should be opened at the same time, and then a dog-eat-dog fight would begin... But no matter what, it was finally opened.

Then, all we have to do is find the phone that gives us the password to open the door, and then use the password to open the iron gate and go upstairs...assuming that the information we have now is correct.

Xu Ming thought to himself, and he was already standing at the entrance of Room 202. He looked inside carefully, but couldn't help but frown.

Because the power switch had been pulled out, there was no light inside the house at the moment, and it was even darker than the corridor outside. Xu Ming estimated that it might be difficult to close the door, as he felt that if he closed it, he would lose at least half of the light source.

But pushing the power switch back directly would inevitably be risky. What if the light came on and trapped the two of them here again? The induction lights were crazy, but were the fluorescent lights reliable?

Xu Ming could only bite the bullet and look inside, trying to distinguish every outline she could catch. She felt that the whale blubber man might see more clearly than her, because as soon as it came in, Xu Ming heard it clearly "Huh". It

was obvious that it saw something that was not good for the body and mind.

Another piece of evidence was that it moved closer to Xu Ming's feet and lowered its voice: "Um, Teacher Shan Ming. What if that guy comes back again..."

"There's a dog outside, it will sound the alarm." Xu Ming said briefly, and began to tentatively touch the wall next to him.

After all, she is now in the identity of "Shan Ming". Although she is not deliberately role-playing, she will still pay attention to making some differences when speaking from usual. After all, if she is exposed at this time, it is really hard to say who will be more embarrassed between her and Po Haitang.

As for the dog, of course, it refers to the little puppy that Landor gave. Before she talked to Po Haitang just now, she called the dog out of the rule book and let it out for a walk.

The whale man was stunned when he heard it, and then he trotted out to take a look. It took a lot of effort to see that on the stairs leading to the third floor, there was a small dog lying on the ground.

"...Isn't it too small?" It paused and couldn't help

but say. "It's okay as long as it can bark."

The whale man: "But what if it gets eaten before it barks..."

"It won't be eaten." Xu Ming glanced at it, "It's not worth it."

She was hiding in the simulation scene before, and saw it clearly. After the monster walked out of the room, it had been consciously avoiding the induction light, almost sticking to the wall downstairs.

That's why she put the puppy on the stairs leading to the third floor - there are two rooms on the second floor, Room 201 is on the left, on the side of the stairs leading upstairs. Room 202 is on the right, on the side of the stairs leading downstairs. If the monster wants to go upstairs, it must pass under the induction light.

It will be more or less cautious.

Moreover, before it goes to the stairs, it will pass by its own house first. Whether to risk passing through the induction light to eat a floating puppy, or return to its own house to catch another floating soul plus an alien root, Xu Ming thinks that any monster with a little bit of brains will make the judgment.

Moreover, this monster definitely has brains.

It knows how to avoid the sensor light, and it also knows to tie a dummy in front of itself...

Thinking of the monster he had just seen, Xu Ming frowned even more tightly - especially when he thought of the other party's mouth full of pen tips, he always felt uncomfortable looking at it.

By the way, could it be a novelist? The pen tip element can be matched, but I have never heard of a monster whose shape will grow along with its love... And what is the one tied in front of it? Is it also a resident of the stairs? Or are they the dead people who accidentally entered and were eaten by it?

What is in room 201? Why can't it come out even though the power switch of its house is pulled?

Xu Ming couldn't find the answer for a while. She could only feel her way in along the wall, quietly comforting herself that she had already pushed back the switch of Room 201, so there shouldn't be a big problem...

Just at this moment, she heard a small sound from the whale man next to her.

"Hey, hey!" It waved its hands hard at Xu Ming, trying to attract her attention, but its small body was still leaning against the door, obviously not daring to come in, "Teacher Xu Ming, feel to the right, to the right... Yes, that closet, a little bit up..."

Xu Ming followed its guidance and felt her way over, feeling a cool and hard touch at her fingertips.

She touched a small flashlight.

She tried to turn on the switch, and the flashlight emitted a bright white light, successfully illuminating a small area in front of her.

Finally having a lighting tool, Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and did not forget to thank the whale man. The whale man chuckled and still leaned against the door: "Okay, then, Teacher Su Ming, please continue. If there is anything else I should pay attention to or need help with, just tell me--"

Xu Ming: "..."

Having said that, why don't you take a few steps inside.

"Whatever you say." She paused, then resignedly raised the flashlight and walked inside. Some strange noises were heard from downstairs.

It sounded like something was biting each other. Xu Ming sincerely hoped that it was 202 having an industry exchange with 102.

"Anyway, just help me keep an eye on the location of the phone." After a brief pause, she spoke again, slowly walked forward, leaving only a cold back to the whale man, "And..."

The whale man: "... huh?"

Xu Ming turned his head to look at it, revealing the half of his face covered with scars: "Don't run around. Don't cause me trouble." The

whale man: "..." Huh? ?

His expression was stunned. The next moment, he saw his eyes widened in shock again——

In just a blink of an eye, the huge figure of Ming disappeared again.

The living room was empty.

Only some long hair poked out from the trash can in the corner and moved silently.

Blubber Man: "..."

No, how... why did you run away in the middle of your words?

Are all of you with "Ming" in your names so unique?

It blinked blankly, and its eyes swept across the house in front of it shrouded in darkness again, and it shuddered again.

Then it slowly moved back, silently stretched out its arms amid the strange biting sounds coming from downstairs.

Hug itself quietly.

——The other end.

Xu Ming, who was in the simulated scene, loosened his fingers on the bracelet, quickly glanced around, and exhaled softly.

She was now in the simulated scene of the living room of Room 202. As for the reason for the sudden launch of the dream simulation, it was also very simple -

it would be faster to directly search boldly in the simulated scene than to search anxiously in reality.

Besides, the monster could catch a dead person as a disguise. Who knows if there are other dead people in its house, and whether those dead people are awake... It would never go wrong to be more cautious.

Having made up his mind, Xu Ming raised the flashlight and shone it around again.

With the illumination of the flashlight, she finally understood the resistance of the blubber man to the room this time - although the visible area was limited, it was not difficult to see that this place had been completely stained with the style of a weird story.

The dining table was covered with rotten food, bloodstains were everywhere, and the corners of the table had obvious bite marks...

She pursed her lips restrainedly, raised the flashlight and swept a large area outside, and then moved two steps to the side, finally figuring out the general layout of the house. It

was a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. Opposite the bedroom were the bathroom and kitchen. The living room and dining room were connected, about 20 square meters. There was a dining table in front, and there was a trash can under the dining table. The hair in it overflowed and hung down along the wall; next to it was a cabinet. In addition, there were two very small wall cabinets on the wall. Xu Ming's flashlight was taken from the first one.

Behind the cabinet was a single sofa. In front of the sofa was a coffee table, and in front of the coffee table was an empty TV cabinet.

After a quick glance at the dining table, there was nothing worth paying attention to except rotten food and suspicious tooth marks. Therefore, Xu Ming quickly chose to rummage through the trash can. Considering the hair in it, she did not dare to reach in directly. She turned the trash can over, and clumps of hair fell out, followed by the sound of hard objects falling to the ground.

Xu Ming's breathing stagnated slightly, and the flashlight in her hand moved slightly to illuminate the ground at her feet.

Only then did she realize that in addition to hair, the trash can was also filled with teeth.

A large pile of teeth rolled to the ground with her movements. A closer look revealed that there were still a lot of blood stains on the teeth.

"..." The long-lost feeling of nausea surged into her chest. Xu Ming exhaled forcefully and stood up with the help of her knees.

Because it was a simulated scene, her movements were not so cautious. After checking the trash can, she stood up, walked around the dining table, and went to search the cabinet at the back. The cabinet was not locked, so it was very convenient to open. She quickly checked the furnishings in the cabinet with a flashlight, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ankle -

she hurriedly lowered her head and took a look, but did not see anything suspicious, only that her ankle was bleeding. The stinging pain continued, and even gave people a feeling of skin swelling...

The bad premonition became stronger, and he quickly changed his posture so that he could bend down. Turning on the flashlight, he shone it on her ankle at close range, and Xu Ming's face changed immediately -

he saw four teeth biting on her skin.

Two incisors and two molars were biting on her skin, two on each side, and they had bitten a hole in her ankle. And a handful of thin hair was following her wound, desperately drilling into it...

Xu Ming: "..."

The next second.

The whale blubber man who had just climbed onto the wall cabinet felt a flash in front of his eyes.

Suddenly, there was another person in the empty living room.

Su Ming appeared in the living room again, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, without anyone noticing.

"Uh..." The whale man raised his hand hesitantly, not knowing whether he should greet her. After realizing the inexplicable low pressure emanating from the other person, he decisively put his hand down.

It didn't know what made Su Ming unhappy. It only knew that under this low pressure, her already ferocious right half of her face looked even more terrifying, and even revealed a bit of bloody aura.

The whale man was so scared that he silently shrank his body a little. Noticing that the other person lowered his head to look at his feet, he subconsciously followed suit.

But he didn't see anything strange. There was nothing at the other person's feet, and he didn't see anything unusual. The shoes were quite nice.

The blubber man thought aimlessly, and when he saw Ji Ming retract his gaze, his expression softened a little. Then he heard her suddenly speak - her voice was low, a little hoarse, and as cold and hard as if it was full of gravel.

"Don't touch the trash can." It heard Ji Ming say slowly.

"...Ah?" The blubber man responded subconsciously.

"I said, don't touch the trash can." Ji Ming said coldly, and the next moment, his body disappeared in the room again, leaving only the tail of his words, gently echoing in the house.

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The blubber man: "..."

Oh...oh.
