"I think that old...that indescribable thing...may have given us a clue on how to survive."
Dong Xie, who deeply loves Cthulhu mythology and stories, often talks about "ancient gods", "evil gods" and "indescribable things". When he said these words at this time, he felt a little weird. In the apartment
Among the residents, they have gradually become accustomed to using "dirty things", "those things" and "unspeakable things" to refer to "evil spirits". Dong Xie estimates that the last statement is probably because the Cthulhu Mythos has become popular in the past two years.
That's why it came about.
After Dong Xie said this, Zhao Long looked at him carefully and said, "This...maybe it is possible."
Feng Yu on the side shook his head and said: "Are you kidding? 'Those things' exist just to kill us, why should they give us tips to survive? This doesn't make sense, does it? As for the blood your sister mentioned?
The written records have been there for so many years. Who knows if they are true or false? Moreover, even if they are true, I think it is more to mislead the residents to die. How can you believe the words of 'those things'!"
After experiencing the first blood letter, Feng Yu was now extremely afraid. He really didn't want to face "those things" at all. When he performed the blood letter for the first time, some of the residents around him did not believe in evil.
, they were carrying peach wood swords purchased online, black dog blood, and even black donkey hooves that they didn’t know where they got. But when they used these things to deal with "those things", they didn't even have the slightest effect. And Ge
The Blood Letter that Qi participated in was even more exaggerated. At that time, one resident even spent money to hire a foreign devil who claimed to be an exorcist and followed them to the execution site. As a result, the foreign devil faced "those
"Thing" was so frightened that he wet his pants, threw out all the holy water crosses, took a Bible and shouted "Father, Son and Holy Spirit"...but it did not prevent him from being killed.
The existing residents have exhausted all means, but it can be proved that there is no way to compete with and harm "those things". But back then, Fang Han finally succeeded in surviving the tenth blood letter, and after being "ransomed", he had
Given the opportunity to make a wish, many residents begged Fang Han whether he could make a wish to free them, or to fight against "those things". The generation who grew up watching "Dragon Ball" and "Aladdin" were very interested in "making a wish".
It is often understood that "any wish can come true." However, when I actually want to make a wish, I realize that wish fulfillment is not omnipotent. The limitations of wishes are huge.
It is absolutely impossible to resurrect the dead, let alone make any wish that breaks the rules of the apartment. It is impossible to let the residents of the apartment gain freedom, reduce the difficulty of blood letters, and allow the residents to fight against "those things".
Even if you want to have the superpowers of the Avengers X-Men, it is impossible. As for "destroying the apartment", you don't even have to think about it. Even if an individual wants to gain huge social power, it is impossible to go against reality.
According to the social laws of the United States, if you want to be the president of the United States, you will never be able to do it. In this way, the wish may seem trivial, but other than that, if you want to live forever, cure terminal diseases, and obtain love (or beauty)
, no limit on the number) are all easy. Although it is impossible to resurrect the dead, if you want to make people die, as long as the number is limited to 10,000, the wish can be realized. From these points, this wish
Still highly attractive.
All in all... making a wish seals all the residents' hopes of being able to compete with "those things". In other words, although this wish is a reward for surviving ten times of blood, it is more... like a charity.
.There have been many residents in the apartment, but I only heard of one person, Fang Han, who survived the tenth blood letter. It is not clear whether there were any residents after Li Yin and before Fang Han who lived through the tenth blood letter.
It was only after Fang Han started that other residents began to write down written records written in blood.
Ge Qi's mentality was similar to Feng Yu's. At the beginning, he also saw with his own eyes that the foreign devil who was hired with money was a complete charlatan. But even so, the Bible and the cross were among those "indescribable things"
There is no effect in front of them. Of course, there are residents who resisted desperately before being killed, but any physical means have no effect on them. In front of them, even if Rambo and Leng Feng come, it will be a dead end. So.
, psychologically, it is difficult for them to believe that they would reveal the way out to the residents. After all, this is not an online game, and they are not NPCs who can reveal clues to the residents.
However, unlike Feng Yu and Ge Qi, Dong Xie feels that the existence of this apartment is highly similar to a horror role-playing game. The difference is that even after playing to the end, players have no chance to upgrade. However, in the game
Players can be resurrected no matter how many times they die, but in this apartment, a person's life is only once. Once he dies, he will never have a chance to come back again.
"Okay, let's continue checking," Zhao Long continued to act as the peacemaker, "Our time is precious. The Scarlet Letter has officially begun, and now...'they' are likely to appear at any time."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's faces turned pale.
"I...I know..." After hearing what Zhao Long said, Feng Yu could only nod his head and said, "Go on...let's look for it."
At this time, they walked along the corridor, and not long after walking, they saw similar paintings on the wall by the light of the lighter.
On the painting, there were those groups of black figures again. If Dong Xie saw these pictures normally, he would only look at them as scary as they were. And after walking a few steps, he saw another painting,
The painting looks like there are two doors, and there is a black shadow in the middle of the door.
At this time, Dong Xie suddenly discovered that there were two doors facing each other on both sides of the corridor!
This discovery made his hair stand on end!
"This... this..." He pointed forward and said, "This... could it be..."
Dong Ning also looked in the direction of Dong Xie's finger, and then compared the two doors on the painting with the black shadow between the doors. She was also surprised.
"Could it be said that this graffiti is the scene that happened here?"
Dong Ning's words immediately frightened Zhao Long, Feng Yu and Ge Qi.
"No...it won't happen!" Ge Qi shook his head desperately and took a step back subconsciously.
Feng Yu's face was also quite ugly, and he felt that his legs were so weak that he had to hold on to the wall to walk.
Zhao Long looked at the painting and the scene in front of him and fell into deep thought...
