In an alley, Karl led Dong Xie and others forward.
He swallowed and then looked at the sky. It was already dusk.
"Do you... want to consider going to see the house tomorrow?" Karl suddenly turned around and said, "Look, it will be dark soon. Our house is relatively remote, especially close to the black wall, so the security...
…It won’t be too good.”
"Well, we hope we can move in tonight." Dong Xie said to Karl: "As long as there are no major problems with the house, we will come back to sign the contract."
"Oh well……"
Karl raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Dong Xie noticed Karl's abnormality and began to feel strongly vigilant.
This town is full of weirdness, but no one even knows which country it is in.
Is this in Asia? Or Europe? South America?
Dong Xie has concluded through observation that the people here... don't even have mobile phones. In today's era, this is simply unimaginable.
black wall…
This word appears in the Scary Instructions. I am afraid that the entrance to hell is also closely related to the so-called black wall.
Suddenly, after turning around an alley, Karl saw such a scene.
A man wearing a gray mask fell to the ground, his body looking like skin and bones.
"Oh My God……"
When Karl saw this scene, he took several steps back and bumped into Dong Xie behind him.
Then, he rushed forward and looked at the person in front of him.
After checking his heartbeat, Carl said regretfully: "He's dead."
He quickly put his hand on his mask, and then took off the mask.
"call……"
Later, Dong Xie discovered that Karl was obviously relieved.
"Mr Smith?"
Karl turned back to look at Dong Xie and others, and said: "Fortunately, the body was found early...otherwise this body would have been handed over to the Black Corpse Team."
"It was discovered early?" Lian Zixin pointed to the corpse on the ground, "Everyone is dead, does this mean it was discovered...early?"
"Shut up!" Mu Ziyi immediately turned around and said to Lian Zixin: "Didn't I tell you before? Don't talk nonsense!"
Karl was stunned, holding the mask in his hand, and said, "What are you talking about? Didn't you see that I successfully took off his mask? If I can't take it off, the consequences will be serious."
Mu Ziyi quickly explained: "He is the worst-minded person in our family. He always talks nonsense. I don't know how many times I have told him."
"Then... you don't even know this common sense, right?" Karl held the mask in his hand, looked at the corpse on the ground, and said, "Oh, forget it, let's go first."
Then, he put the mask on the ground.
With the experience and lesson just now, everyone did not ask why he left the body alone, but just took off the mask. However, because of what Karl just said, Dong Xie was sure of at least one thing: the dead person, once "
"If it is discovered too late," the mask cannot be taken off his face. For Karl, as long as he takes off the mask and puts it aside, he will be relieved.
So... if the mask cannot be taken off, will the body become...
Dong Xie turned around and looked at the body lying on the ground and the mask next to it.
Karl sighed heavily at this time: "Because of the lack of food harvest, more and more people will starve to death this year. Last month, people with gray masks gathered to attack and rob food. After that, under the blue masks,
Anyone who dares to go out at night without a mask will be shot to death immediately once discovered by a patrol."
As Karl led the way, there were fewer and fewer houses around and more and more trees. The surrounding area became more and more remote.
"I don't know if Fani is gone..."
Karl muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a group of people in black riding horses on a small road not far away.
"Black Corpse Team!"
Karl said subconsciously, and then looked over.
The members of the Black Corpse Team...all wear gray masks.
There were about thirty people in this team, and at the very end of the team were horses dragging several dark coffins tied to carts.
"The Black Corpse Team will not be equipped with cars, only horses." Karl sighed, "The people in the gray mask have a cheap life!"
Black Corpse Team...
Dong Xie looked at the team. Everyone was stumbling, and several people could not even straighten their backs.
"Well," Carl then looked at Dong Xie and said, "Our house is less than one kilometer away from the Black Wall, so we probably see the Black Corpse Team often. This is actually, really, a bit ominous."
Although he was extremely curious, Dong Xie couldn't ask Karl any questions. Lian Zixin had almost exposed them just now. In this place, after setting a curfew, you can shoot and kill at will, and the mask's high level can even take human life lightly.
It feels a bit like George Orwell's 1984. If they were exposed as foreigners in a place like this, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Well, it doesn't matter," Dong Xie replied: "After all, your rent is cheap and the security deposit is not expensive."
Every resident has the currency of the place prepared for them by the apartment. In a short period of time, life will not have many problems.
"Having said that, it's quite troublesome to make some daily purchases around here..."
At this time, Mu Ziyi suddenly said: "Does Mr. Smith not want the house to be rented out?"
"Well, it's not...it's not..."
The Black Corpse Team suddenly stopped at this moment.
"It's a flare!"
High in the distance, a red fire shot into the sky.
"It's that way to the south!" The leader of the Black Corpse Team shouted: "Quick, move forward at full speed!"
Karl looked at the position where the signal flare was raised and murmured: "I found it again... It's still a red signal flare, it's so urgent."
Seeing the Black Corpse team members rushing away quickly, Karl continued: "Okay, let's go."
Finally, Karl took Dong Xie and others to the house where their family lived.
This house has a total of two floors, seems to occupy an area of less than 100 square meters, and has a rather simple appearance.
Karl stepped forward, took out the key, inserted the door lock, and opened the door.
"Everyone, I'll go in and clean up first."
Karl quickly walked in and took a look. It seemed that... the person had left.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he suddenly found a piece of paper on the table.
He picked up the piece of paper and saw that it was a note left for him by Fanny.
"Karl, I won't make things difficult for you, so I'll leave first. Recently, I can hear strange sounds from the black wall every night, and the sounds have become more and more terrifying recently. If there is no special reason, you
Recently, it’s better not to get close to the Black Wall.”
He looked at the piece of paper, quickly crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket. Then, he walked outside the door and said to Dong Xie and others: "Okay, you can come in."
…
Late at night.
At this time, the clock on the wall pointed to ten o'clock.
Dong Xie was holding the phone receiver and talking to Anna.
"Is the power on yet?"
"The water, electricity and coal are all connected. Thank you very much, Mrs. Smith. We came in a hurry..."
"It's okay, you can just get used to it. However, it's quite remote there, so it might not be convenient to buy things. Let me give you the phone numbers of a few stores that offer door-to-door delivery services."
"Ok, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Xie looked behind him.
"I would like to emphasize one thing." Dong Xie stretched out a finger and said: "Don't take off the mask unless you have to. Even if you are sure that we are residents, don't take off the mask."
"But..." Gao Yiyu hurriedly asked: "If there is an evil spirit wearing a mask..."
"Actually, if evil spirits really want to sneak into us, there is no need to wear masks at all." Dong Xie said this and emphasized another point: "Moreover, we were teleported the moment we received the blood letter, and we had no time to communicate with other residents.
.Under this situation, we actually don’t know how many residents have received letters in blood.”
"If the apartment limits the evil spirit's ability to transform," Mu Ziyi raised her hand and touched the mask, "it does not rule out the possibility that the evil spirit wears a mask to disguise itself as a resident. And here, taking off the mask seems to be an extremely taboo thing."
Dong Xie walked to the window and looked in the direction of the so-called... "black wall"!
