Chapter 398: You have successfully escaped from the dark forest! (3000 words~)
But I am really curious. What is wrong with this city that Wein said is wrong?
"What did you find?" Lu Qing asked Wein after sitting up.
"Tree roots, they are tree roots. They are all over the underground of the city. There are even tree roots growing in the corners of some dilapidated and unfinished buildings. In addition, the residents of this city are actually quite wrong.
.”
"Tree roots, is this actually within the scope of the dark forest?" Lu Qing felt a little confused after hearing Wei Yin's words.
"By the way, what's wrong with the residents you said?" Lu Qing asked again, thinking of what Wein just said.
"Gah, I can't tell you. Anyway, it just feels wrong."
"Well..." After touching her chin and thinking for a while, Lu Qing simply said: "In that case, let's go out and see for ourselves."
Of course, it was impossible to go through the main entrance. Lu Qing opened the window of the hospital and wanted to jump out from here.
The floor she was on was the fourth floor. For a normal person, both legs would be broken if she jumped even if she survived the fall. But for her, it was not difficult, even if there was neither hay nor river water below.
However, just when Lu Qing was about to jump down, a hoarse voice came from under her bed.
"Do you really want to find out the truth?"
"who!?"
Lu Qing was startled by the sudden sound. She immediately moved away from the hospital bed and looked at the darkness under the bed with a vigilant expression.
"Oh, don't get excited, I'm your old friend Charles." said the corpse under the hospital bed.
"Charles?"
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then she recalled the corpse she encountered in this dream copy, the corpse that helped her for some unknown reason.
"Are you under my bed?" Lu Qing frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
She felt uncomfortable all over when she thought that there was a corpse under the bed where she had rested, observing her, and she didn't know if the guy on the notice board who was secretly observing her could be this guy.
"Well, don't get me wrong, I'm under the bed because there is really no place to hide a body in this house." Charles said as he lay under the bed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Since you stopped me, does that mean you know the truth?" Lu Qing asked Charles.
"Of course I know, but I don't want to tell you." Charles said.
"If you don't tell me, I will go find it myself." Lu Qing said nonchalantly.
"Of course I know this. I just want to ask you, do you really have the courage and determination to find the truth?"
"I'm not sure, but if I were to just lie on the bed and fall asleep, I would be very unwilling to do so." Lu Qing replied.
"..."
Charles did not continue to reply. Lu Qing thought for a moment and pushed the hospital bed away, revealing a white skull hidden under the hospital bed.
"Is this what it is?"
Lu Qing took the skull in her hand and weighed it twice.
After looking at the camera in the room, it stands to reason that someone should have come to find him at this time, whether it was the conversation he had just had with Wein, or his attempt to jump out of the window, plus the skeleton in his hand.
head.......
And just when Lu Qing was thinking this, she heard the door of the room click and someone opened it from the outside.
I saw several doctors and the police officer from before standing at the door of the room.
"Miss Lu Qing, may I ask what you have in your hand?" the police officer looked at Lu Qing seriously.
"Who knows?"
Now that he knew there was a problem in this city, Lu Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people, he just threw the skull over, then turned around and jumped out of the window!
After landing on the ground and rolling up in one go, Lu Qing looked back at the buildings above her head and found that from unknown time, a thick white fog had risen in the city.
The piercing sound of the police car sounded, and she did not hesitate to get into the alley, hiding from the police while running towards the outside of the town.
However, a few hours later, Lu Qing found that she seemed to be trapped in a loop. No matter where she ran, she would inexplicably return to the hospital.
After thinking about it, she came to the door of a household and knocked lightly. She remembered that there must be someone in this room.
After knocking for a while, the door was pushed open through a gap, revealing only one eye of the person inside.
"Who are you?" A rough aunt's voice came from the room.
"Hello, I am a reporter from another city. I would like to visit your place. Can I take up a little of your time?" Lu Qing said the words he had prepared long ago.
"Reporter? Which reporter would come to our place with nothing to do? Get out of here, you are not welcome here!" the aunt behind the door said in a rather impatient tone.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." A baby's cry suddenly came from the room, which sounded quite strange.
When the aunt heard the baby's cry, she immediately turned her head and shouted into the room: "Why are you crying? Just be quiet!"
The moment Auntie turned around, Lu Qing opened her eagle eyes and saw some scenes in the room.
I saw a blood-red baby lying on the floor of the room, and the baby's head was split from the middle, revealing the sharp teeth inside. It was the baby that was crying at this time.
"Young Head Splitter?"
Before Lu Qing could see that she was wrong, the door to the room was slammed shut. It seemed that the aunt no longer wanted to pay attention to her.
"There's definitely something wrong here."
Thinking back on what he had just seen, Lu Qing left here quickly, preparing to sneak into the hospital again.
She has already tried leaving the city, but she will come back to the hospital no matter what. If that's the case, why not go back to the hospital again, maybe she can find something.
In addition, because the flamethrower is a special prop, other daggers and the like are not good things. Lu Qing handed it over according to the requirements of the police officers, and it should be stored in the hospital at this time.
, she needs to go in and look for it.
Quietly avoiding everyone along the way, Lu Qing finally arrived at the room where the flamethrower was placed.
At this time, there was no fuel in the flamethrower. She used a knife to cut a wound on her wrist and poured blood into it.
Lu Qing's thinking was extremely clear at this time, and she knew what she wanted to do.
When Charles first appeared, he once said something. Now that I think about it, the complete content should be like this:
"Greeting cards and dance music reveal the truth, the fire of hell burns everything, remember to wear the clothes of your loved ones."
The first sentence should be talking about underworld marriage, and the second sentence Lu Qing once thought was referring to burning the Thousand Hands and Thousand Faces Tree with fire. The coat mentioned in the third sentence should be referring to the one given to her by her mother.
Silver gray evening breeze.
And if the fire does not refer to the Thousand-Arms-Thousand-Faced Tree, then there is only one possibility.
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly knocked open, and a group of Headsplitters swarmed towards Lu Qing in the corner.
In response, Lu Qing showed a disdainful smile and pulled the trigger of the flamethrower without hesitation.
The next moment, blazing tongues of fire spurted out, instantly burning the head-splitters in front of them into charcoal.
Completely ignoring the consumption of his own blood, Lu Qing kept pulling the trigger until the flamethrower's flames burned every corner of the hospital.
Waves of roaring sounds rang out from the underground of the hospital, and then countless tree roots emerged. However, under the full spray of Luqing's flamethrower, these tree roots were unable to save the fire that enveloped the entire hospital.
"Ahem..."
Lu Qing coughed with a pale face. At this time, everything around her was filled with flames, and thick smoke almost enveloped the entire sky.
"Cough cough cough......"
After coughing a few more times, Lu Qing threw the flamethrower on the ground, then squatted down, hugged her knees and huddled up.
I saw a large amount of silk threads constantly spraying out from the silver-gray evening wind, and within a moment, she was wrapped into a cocoon-like shape. There seemed to be some kind of power in these threads, and even the flames could not make them burn.
Lu Qing lost consciousness just like that.
...........
"It's so hot..."
In a dark space, Lu Qing slowly woke up.
And when she woke up, she found herself in a strange cocoon-like package, which was extremely hot and contained a viscous liquid with a certain acidity.
She struggled hard and managed to break free from the cocoon after a while.
"thump!"
"Ahem..."
Along with a large amount of pure white viscous root fluid, Lu Qing fell from mid-air.
She stood up with some effort, opened her eyes, and saw a completely unexpected scene.
This is a dark, enclosed space, and the walls are full of thick tree roots. These tree roots twist together and form a spiral shape growing upwards.
What made Lu Qing dazed was not the environment here, but the gray-white light ball floating in the center of this space, like a filthy pool.
Lu Qing suddenly thought of something, and she raised her head with a dry mouth...
Numerous humanoid bodies are floating in the air, wrapped in tree roots. They are sleeping peacefully, seemingly having some kind of sweet dream...
At the same time, there was a sound of slightly heavy footsteps, and a businessman with the same appearance as her slowly walked up to her, knelt down and hugged her into his arms.
"Welcome to the interior of the ancient tree, my sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, waves of crazy murmurs poured into Lu Qing's mind. Almost in an instant, Lu Qing lost all consciousness.
.........
