006: twelve o'clock at midnight (4)

Yunzhi was actually in an unconscious state now, but those words took root in her mind.

The moment her consciousness dissipated, she saw... No, to be precise, she didn't 'see' anything.

That kind of unspeakable shock, that kind of feeling of being insignificant and vulnerable, makes people yearn for it and feel powerless at the same time.

——The journey to explore the truth is bumpy, but there are some things that are really hers, or is she able to explore them now?

——Curiosity killed the cat, it’s not unreasonable.

Suddenly, the sound of the game prompt came——

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for winning the super attribute: Shadow Clone | Level E]

[Shadow clone | E-level: Provided by an unknown black shadow, it allows you to have another 'self' with independent thinking. It is a highly flexible ability.]



After Yunzhi woke up, he walked towards the mirror in the bathroom.

The girl in the mirror was probably just coming of age, and when she smiled, she was friendly and friendly, giving people a harmless feeling. However, the glasses on her face made her look much more mediocre.

But when Yunzhi took off his glasses, he realized that Yunzhi's facial features were actually very beautiful, especially his eyes——

The slightly slanted peach blossom eyes will make those who look at them feel that she is sentimental and affectionate, but the tail of her eyes is longer and narrower than the normal peach blossom eyes, which makes her even more sharp.

The whole person gives people a feeling of being free from the secular world, but also deeply involved in the worldly affairs. He is complicated and contradictory, but has enough attraction.

Yunzhi quietly stared at himself in the mirror, until the 'self' in the mirror smiled——

The corners of her mouth also curled up.



Meanwhile, others——

Cheng Xiao and An An temporarily worked as a team to search for clues from the property management of the community. An An kept trying to talk to Cheng Xiao along the way, but with little success.

In this way, the two of them arrived at the property management office, one chattering and the other taciturn.

Before stepping in, the two looked at each other and finally walked in.



As soon as they entered, the damp and dark feeling hit their faces. The two of them were secretly on guard. Cheng Xiao kept his hands on his waist, ready to fight at any time.

But after a long time, the property manager came out and said to them with a smile: "You are also here to inquire about that 'thing', right?"

Cheng Xiao took a step forward and replied: "Yes."

"Oh...I knew it..."

"Well, let me tell you a story first."

An An looked at Cheng Xiao, who nodded, and the three of them found a place to sit down quietly.

There was no one in the property hall at this time, and there was a hint of haze in the emptiness, which made people uneasy.

The property manager seemed to feel nothing and started telling stories.



Among the people, and in the West, the widely circulated number '13' is actually a number with a very bad connotation.

It is said that one day, a demon named "Satan" will appear.

And on this night, the devil Satan will bring disaster to mankind, and the human world will be in boundless purgatory.

People at that time had always scorned this Western legend, thinking that it was all made up by themselves and there was no such thing.

So on such a day - the 13th of April in the Guichou Year of the Old Calendar, in a very ordinary small town, people started working at sunrise and rested at sunset as usual, but at twelve o'clock at midnight,

Was awakened by the sudden sound of the death knell.

It is said that the description of the person he saw at that time: the devil Satan was nine feet tall, with two horns on his head, two pairs of eyes, four legs, and twenty fingers.

It was such a night that the fire filled the entire town and burned for thirteen days and nights before it was extinguished. Only an old man was still alive.



"This story was narrated by the old man and has been passed down from generation to generation. People have gradually become taboo about the number '13'," the property manager concluded.

Cheng Xiao and An An were both stunned for a moment, and An An asked cautiously: "So, will you have a Building No. 13 here?"

The property manager looked at them strangely and asked back: "How could you have such an idea? You all said it was a taboo. How could you give the number '13' to the building owner?"

An An was completely silent, with a chill running down his spine.

Cheng Xiao was silent for a long time and continued to ask: "Then what was the 'thing' you just mentioned at the beginning?"

The property manager started to feel a little weird after hearing Cheng Xiao's words, but he still told the truth -

"In recent days, every time at midnight, the thirteenth building will appear inexplicably in Xingfu Community."
