Chapter 25 Cocoons and Moths

At this moment, Wen Jing felt as if her brain was on fire.

At this time, she immediately recalled the Chinese fairy tale "Painted Skin" that she read when she was a child. The ferocious-looking female ghost put on a beautiful woman's skin, deceived the scholar's eyes, and finally dug out her heart. This horror story became a legend in Wen Jing's childhood.

A major psychological shadow of the period.

But now, this horrific scene was completely displayed in front of Wen Jing's eyes.

She subconsciously felt her stomach churn. She had been experiencing nausea symptoms in the past few days due to her pregnancy, and now she vomited directly on the floor. Because the vomiting was so sudden, a large amount of vomit was vomited directly on the floor.

On the mask, she quickly took it off.

Yun Nai and Zhang Kun's expressions were also quite horrified, and they were stunned for five or six seconds, until the sound of Wen Jing's vomiting made them wake up again.

"It's like a silkworm emerges from its cocoon and turns into a moth..." After a long time, Yun Nai said this sentence in a trembling tone: "Those who go to accept hypnosis become

Silkworm cocoon..."

This metaphor made Wen Jing, who had just finished vomiting, feel that her stomach began to churn again, and she opened her mouth and vomited again.

"Is this how evil spirits come out of our bodies?" Zhang Kun seemed to not care about Wen Jing's feelings. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and said: "Let's leave quickly! It's too dangerous to stay here.

."

And Wen Jing looked at the mask that was covered with vomit on her hands and emitted an indescribable smell. It was impossible to put it on again, otherwise she would be so sick that she would vomit all the stomach acid.

"Here, look here, maybe there are spare masks..."

Listening to Wen Jing's weak voice, Yun Nai woke up as if from a dream, nodded and said: "Yes, yes... looking for a mask, find the mask first!"

Wen Jing noticed at this time...

The torn skin on the bed was split in half right in the middle on the hand.

So, is that red mark the crack that appears when it is about to "break out of the cocoon"?

The most terrifying thing is that there is no blood, internal organs, or bones in this skin... So what is coming out of this?

A person like Gao Shuhe only has this kind of skin left?

She suddenly didn't know what force drove her, and suddenly stretched out her hand to touch the skin.

Then, she felt that this touch was no different from touching real skin!

If she closed her eyes at this moment, she would definitely believe that she was touching the skin of a living person... not cold or stiff at all.

"demon……"

She subconsciously muttered this word.

"What do you mean?" Yun Nai thought Wen Jing had some clues and asked quickly: "What kind of devil are you talking about?"

"I mean that apartment you are talking about...that apartment has the power of the devil. It is a devil's apartment!"

He would kill someone with just a nod, and he would not be so cruel as to take his life from an unjust soul!

This is a horror that only the devil in hell can create!

In the city where she lives, such a terrifying place actually exists. Just thinking about it makes Wen Jing feel horrified.

"The existence of this apartment should be made public, and the country should find a way to deal with it. No, the international community should find a way, let the United Nations deal with it... find a way to destroy this apartment..." Wen Jing became a little incoherent at this time.

.

Yun Nai grabbed Wen Jing and said, "Okay, let's leave here first. It's too dangerous here. Dong Xie disappeared here. Let's go!"

After leaving the room, the three of them quickly went downstairs.

"Here are the spare masks!"

After finally finding the spare masks, Yun Nai took a few more and handed them to Wen Jing and Zhang Kun respectively. They both quickly put on the masks and put the spare masks into their pockets.

After putting on the masks, the three of them finally felt a little more relaxed.

But at this time, everyone is worried. There is still a big question mark as to whether masks can be a way out.

"What should we do now? Go to room four?"

In addition to finding masks, I also got two spare folding umbrellas, which seemed to have been brought by Gao Shuhe to use as sunshades. With the umbrellas, I could go to House No. 4 in the heavy rain.

Dong Xie and Li Ming are no longer here...

So what to do next?

"Let's go out first and then talk."

At Yun Nai's suggestion, the three of them walked out of the house. Yun Nai and Wen Jing held one umbrella, and Zhang Kun held another umbrella.

"In the future, no matter what the weather forecast says, you must bring an umbrella." This is a major lesson Yun Nai learned.

Of course... the premise is that she can still have a "future".

However, the rain was really heavy. Even if I held an umbrella, the effect was relatively limited. After walking a few steps, basically all the parts of my body that should be wet were soaked.

Even so, Wen Jing still feels much safer here.

"Yun Nai, before we get to Room 4, let's consider a problem."

"Well, you said?"

"Assuming that Dong Xie and Li Ming are dead... I mean assuming, then in this case, why didn't the black shadow kill us? Is it just a period between killings?"

"The current inference may be masks... but Dong Xie and Li Ming are both wearing masks, and it is impossible to take them off. If it is said that evil spirits took off the masks forcibly, what difference does it make if they wear masks or not? So?

I’m also confused.”

This is the biggest logical paradox of the "mask survival theory". If this problem cannot be solved, it will be difficult to find a real solution.

"We can think about it the other way around," Wen Jing put forward her own opinion: "I still remember watching Suzuki Koji's "The Ring" when I was a child. In the end, the protagonist discovered that the only way to escape Sadako's curse was to copy the video tape of Sadako's appearance.

, and the way he found a way out was based on the difference between himself who survived Sadako's seven-day curse and the supporting character who was killed. So, let's think about it, what more have we done compared to Li Mingdong Xie?

What's going on?"

When Yun Nai heard this, she quickly began to think deeply.

"Are you saying that some of our unintentional actions have led to a way out, but we don't know it ourselves? The biggest difference between us and Li Ming Dong Xie is gender, but I'm afraid it's not that simple... Others, I think

think……"

"Not only now, but also when the Scarlet Letter mission started, did we do anything that Li Ming and Dong Xie didn't do?"

"This... let me think about it..."

It has to be said that Wen Jing's idea was quite constructive, but for the moment, in the strong wind and rain, Yun Nai couldn't think of how to answer this question.

"There is a Li Ming who has done things that we have not done." Yun Nai thought for a long time and said, "He went to buy an amulet."

"Oh..." Wen Jing then vaguely remembered that there was indeed a red rope hanging around Li Ming's neck, which should be the amulet tied around it.

People with amulets will get into trouble? So not wearing amulets is the only way to survive? This seems nonsense no matter how you think about it.

"Impossible." Yun Nai rejected this possibility almost immediately. "In fact, most residents will no longer bring such things when performing the Scarlet Letter. Many people have already tried it, and they all still failed.

Li Ming himself said that he only brought this thing as a psychological comfort factor and did not take it seriously. Moreover, Dong Xie did not carry an amulet with him."

"What else is there?"

"We all drank coffee and Red Bull drinks at that time, but Dong Xie specially bought a coffee drink with skimmed milk... Also, Dong Xie went to the gym for a day of exercise before coming here. Other than that, I couldn't think of anything else."

Couldn't find any valuable clues at all.

Zhang Kun on the side said: "Is it really related to gender differences? Women can do things that men can't do?"

"There are many things that women can do that men can't do. Men can't wear bras and scarves, but it can't be a way out, right? Besides, Qin Peng is also a man." Wen Jing felt that the task of Scarlet Words was not enough.

Maybe it’s specifically biased towards women?

At this moment……

The three of them are getting closer and closer to House No. 4...
