At this moment, everyone was almost stunned. After a long time, Kuang Wenxuan was the first to run over, close the window firmly, and lock it again.
Later, when Kuang Wenxuan returned, everyone was still frightened and stared at the windows in front of them with vigilance, not daring to relax at all.
After a long time, nothing happened again, and they relaxed slightly.
"This..." Gao Yiyu said something that was a bit like self-comfort: "This is the apartment that is scaring us, right? It's just, it's just scaring us, right?"
"Maybe..." Dong Xie could only say this at this time. In the Scarlet Mission, there are indeed many meaningless scare points to cause huge psychological pressure on the residents. In fact, this kind of psychological pressure is a lot
The key reason why the residents finally missed their chance of survival. However, the possibility of a real dead end cannot be ruled out.
At this stage, it is possible that evil spirits have entered this house, but due to the restrictions of the apartment, they have not yet taken action against the residents.
"Don't panic yet," Mu Ziyi began to calm people's minds at this time: "Even if there is an evil spirit, it will not be able to kill us quickly due to the restrictions of the apartment."
In fact, this sentence has many loopholes, but Dong Xie realized that the key to this sentence is to appease everyone. Otherwise, with strong fear, Kuang Wenxuan, Lian Zixin and Gao Yiyu would not be able to act normally.
Take action.
Several people then walked to the first floor and gathered at the door. As soon as the evil spirit made any move, they would immediately rush out of the door and escape.
"Do you feel like the temperature in the room has started to drop?" Gao Yiyu kept rubbing his hands, and more and more white air came out of his mouth.
Kuang Wenxuan comforted him: "Don't get into panic..."
"I have thought about it!" Gao Yiyu continued: "The way to survive should be to obtain a golden mask! The higher the level of the mask, the harder it will be for the alien spirits to attack us. And wearing a golden mask..."
"There is a huge flaw in your statement." Mu Ziyi ruthlessly interrupted her: "The apartment provides equal survival conditions to every resident. However, there is only one golden mask. It is impossible, only one resident can
Will you survive?"
Of course, one thing is certain. If you really wear the golden mask, you will indeed live a great life. Of course, this is not absolute, otherwise, how could the King of the Golden Mask completely disappear outside the wall?
"Ah? Then?" At this time, Gao Yiyu was confused, "Then, will it mean getting a silver mask? There are five silver-faced councilors, and we also happen to have five..."
"You also know that there are only five silver masks in total. How can we get them so easily? Or you can consider running for the Silver Mask Councilor?"
Hearing what his mother Ziyi said, Gao Yiyu was speechless.
Kuang Wenxuan took her hand and whispered: "Forget it, Yiyu, don't worry as I'm with you."
Another ten minutes passed, and nothing happened, not even an unusual sound.
"call……"
Dong Xie breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he didn't want to face the evil spirit head-on at this time. The gray mask had no advantage at all in front of the evil spirit.
…
"This snow is probably the heaviest in recent years."
Karl looked at the snowflakes flying outside the window, sighed, picked up a glass of hot water, and took a sip.
Behind him, his wife Anna wiped her hands that had just finished chopping vegetables and said: "The prices of vegetables and meat are going to increase again. In a remote place like ours, there are many hidden dangers in transportation, and now there are bandits robbing food everywhere."
"The security in the city is much better, but we can't live there." Karl was worried. "Now the housing prices in the prime areas of the city have risen horribly. The price of our house in the prime area of the city does not even have a toilet."
We can't even buy the square footage. If we can buy a higher-end mask...like a red mask, we can get a mortgage to buy a house at a very low interest rate."
As we all know, bank interest rates are affected by inflation rate, loan callback risk, etc. High-end masks themselves will never depreciate, and red masks obtain low-interest loans, which is within their authority, and banks cannot refuse red masks' loans.
Requirement. In the future, the pressure to repay the mortgage will also be reduced a lot.
"Don't even think about it." Anna smiled bitterly, "Do you know how high the price of red masks is on the black market? There is simply a price but no market. After all, many people are not willing to sell red masks at all."
"I'm just saying it."
Just then, the phone rang.
Carl walked to the phone, picked up the receiver, and said, "Hello, this is the Smith house."
"Karl," a man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Something big has happened! Something big!"
"What's the big deal? Ronnie?"
"You know the election will be held in a few days, right? The James campaign team just broke a big news. Once James succeeds in the election, he will hold a competition, and the competition will use masks as rewards!"
Carl almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Mask as a reward?"
"This old guy is very shady. You must know that Gray Mask is the biggest vote bank. Only those who get the majority of Gray Mask's votes can hope to be elected, and James announced such a thing!"
"A game? What game? A sports game?"
"You know that there is a huge underground space built inside the Black Wall, right? It can even lead directly to the outside of the Black Wall. You also know... many of the supernatural spirits transformed by the Face Splitter and the Face Melter are underground, right?"
This time, Karl understood immediately.
"Could it be that……"
"James said that a survival competition will be held in this underground space! And the prize for the survivors is a high-end red or even blue mask!"
The government has a large stockpile of masks, and many people know this. As long as the last wearer of the mask is alive, the mask will not break. Just peel the mask off the face of the deceased and replace it before it breaks.
If you remove the mask from a living person's face, the mask will not break. It has long been an open secret that corrupt government officials colluded with profiteers and flowed these masks into the black market.
However, such a thing as using a mask as a competition prize has never happened in the past. The mask is inside the wall, which is a symbol of privilege. In the past, at least on the surface, it was definitely impossible to do this kind of thing. But James is different, he himself
He is a businessman, and he is different from the traditional politician Tony De, who plays politics with a businessman's mentality. For him, as long as he can be elected, he does not care what negative political impact it will bring. And he can issue such a campaign manifesto,
I'm afraid it has something to do with the rumors that the government has begun to publicly sell blue masks in exchange for official positions.
After hanging up the phone, when Karl and his wife Anna explained the matter, both sides looked ugly.
"Competition...mask..." she suddenly said: "Does he think we will vote for him?"
"At least there are not a few people who are incited. I believe that there are definitely not a few people who cannot survive this winter. Not everyone can drink hot tea in a warm room like us. Without winter clothes to keep out the cold and enough food,
The death rate of homeless people, beggars and drug addicts in the cold wind is definitely higher than facing those alien spirits."
People may not necessarily die when faced with strange spirits. But without food, water, and winter clothes, they will definitely die. Especially when the heavy snow comes, I believe that every morning in the future, there will be more new things in the streets and alleys.
's corpse.
"The news will soon spread throughout the walls. James' campaign team will be spreading the word throughout the walls."
"The purpose of deliberately choosing to make it public at this time is to prevent the other party's campaign team from reacting to the matter."
"I think there is another factor." Anna analyzed: "There have always been a large number of supernatural beings under the black wall, and the black corpse team needs to drive the corpses bit by bit to the outside of the black wall. However, what if ordinary people are allowed to enter the underground to do something?
If there is a competition for survival, I am afraid that more people will die. The people above want to use this method to reduce the poverty population. After these people die, the burden on the economy and food, and the security problems caused by the unemployed population will also disappear. This
This is also the reason why James is confident in persuading the other four congressmen to implement this matter. Otherwise, he alone may not be able to implement this matter."
"Is...is that so?"
"Those masks are a hidden income for the government. If they are used for other purposes, it will offend the interests of corrupt officials. If not for this factor, other silver-faced congressmen would not support James."
"I think... let's vote for Tony De... This James is too scary..."
"However, although they are cruel, as long as they can survive this so-called survival competition, those with gray masks can wear high-level masks, those with red masks can easily obtain low-interest bank loans, and those with blue masks can get them immediately
The government's civil servant allowance. At least, I can survive in this cold winter..."
At this time, both Carl and Anna felt that this winter seemed to be getting colder...
