… Two days have passed since Pence found a hand in his pocket.
In the past two days, Lin Sanjiu always seemed to be in a long dream. She was "floating" on the back of Yiliu in the house, checking the corners of the house with him, constantly turning on and off the TV, and observing other people's faces over and over again.
, I didn’t dare to sleep when I was tired, I just dared to sit in the corner and take a nap.
Others are not much better than him; everyone's face is pale because they can't rest assuredly - no matter day or night, there are always two people assigned as "sentinels" to monitor and observe the situation inside and outside the house. Outside the house
The mountain forest has spread without even realizing it. Even if you climb up to the roof and look far away, you will still see only the endless stretches of woods. The road you came from has long been swallowed up by the deep and dense green.
The shadow.
Of course, they are not so naive that they think they can come and leave whenever they want in the dungeon.
Seeing Pence and Cuining opening the door with weapons and going out to patrol, Wu Yiliu breathed a sigh of relief. He lifted up the sofa cushions and rummaged through them carefully, not missing any crack or corner.
Then he finally sat down carefully.
Two days ago, when Burns discovered that his hand was being held by another living woman's hand, he was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly came to his senses with a startled scream, and threw up his hand desperately -
—The hand had its own life, hanging tightly on his finger, which made Pence even more crazy. He swung it in the air several times, and finally in one swipe, the female hand was thrown away.
Got out.
The next whole night, the four people searched for the whereabouts of the hand, but never found it. If they couldn't find it, they couldn't figure out what it was. Since then, Yoshiyanagi has always been there.
He felt that that hand might appear in any gap, so every time he changed his position or touched something, he would have to check it nervously for a long time.
They all knew that the dungeon had started and something was happening; but what was really tormenting was that none of them knew what was happening.
It seemed that everything had returned to normal: Pence had long since taken off his jumper and thrown it out of the house, and Cuining had stuffed his hat into the kitchen trash can. They took turns guarding the inside and outside of the copy, trying not to
No one was left alone; they did not touch any food in the wooden house, and lived solely on the water and dry food they brought themselves. Even when sleeping at night, there was always someone keeping vigil.
...The question is, then what?
I can't walk, I don't know what to do next, I can't analyze and come up with a clue, I don't even know what's wrong, I can only suffer hour after hour;
I can feel the growing irritability and anxiety of the trapped beasts in the room.
"It's so strange, I just can't figure it out." Abi came over and sat down next to Wu Yiliu, and murmured to him: "Why do you want to trap us so aimlessly? Any copy runs
After getting up, everyone should have a 'purpose'. What is this purpose? Are the people in the other half trapped like us?"
She was so annoyed that she scratched her long blond hair a few times and complained to him: "If I had known he was so annoying, I wouldn't have come."
Since the first night, the four people have been divided. Pence and Cuining formed an alliance, and Abi and Wu Yiliu naturally joined hands. Abi is not a straightforward person, but he is a reliable partner.
Ichiliu would rather get closer to her.
"What is the purpose? I have thought about it many times."
Outside the window, Pence and Cuining happened to be walking one after another on the wooden porch outside the house; Wu Yiliu subconsciously glanced at the two of them with his peripheral vision, and quickly turned his eyes away as if he had been burned. Pence's
The chin is about to melt and hang down to the chest, and the face and the corners of the eyes are falling heavily together, so much that the whites of the eyeballs are exposed, and a piece of blood underneath is exposed - if the face falls again, he will really
I don't know what to expose under the skin.
...Now his hallucinations have spread to Pence.
"What's wrong with you?" Abi noticed his shrinking and asked, "Since we entered the dungeon, don't blame me for speaking directly. I feel like you seem a little... absent-minded."
She wasn't too direct in what she said, otherwise she would probably have said, "You don't live up to your reputation."
Don't blame her, since he entered this dungeon, he has behaved like an ignorant novice. Even he himself is so confused and confused that he doesn't know what to do. There seems to be a storm hidden in his mind, and any idea will be disturbed.
Broken - the nightmare of his birthplace, perhaps a curse he can never get rid of.
Wu Yiliu twisted her sweaty hands together, her heart sinking in her chest, and she still dared not tell her the truth. If she told her, she would be regarded as a madman - when Pence walked over just now, Ah
Bi also saw it clearly through the window. Since she had no reaction, how could she still tell the truth?
"It's nothing..." he said hoarsely, "I'm just like you and can't figure it out. You're not wearing those hiking boots, are you?"
"How dare I," Abi shook his head, "They were things in the copy, and I couldn't put them into the storage props, so I stuffed them into a pot and locked them in the safe in the bedroom."
"Pot?" Wu Yiliu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes," Abi smiled, squinting slightly with short lines at the corners of his eyes, and said, "That's what I think. If my mind is affected by the copy and I want to take out the shoes from the safe, then if I
Before I got the shoes, something unreasonable and shouldn't be there appeared in front of me. It might allow me to capture this weird feeling and get rid of the influence of the copy in time. After all, the influence of this copy does not seem to be
It was so serious - as soon as you looked down and saw your hands, you immediately woke up."
Uichi Liu nodded. He was worthy of analyzing and interpreting the copy. Although Abi was a little naive, his mind was not slow.
"But so far, I have never thought about putting on my shoes." Abi looked out the window, lowered his voice and said, "Well, while the two of them are out patrolling, do you want to take a break?
For a moment? I see that you seem to have had less rest than anyone else these past two days... You can’t continue like this. If you can’t maintain your energy, what if something goes wrong in the dungeon?”
She didn't say it clearly, but her meaning couldn't be more obvious. Since that night, anyone who is not blind will probably be able to feel Yaichi Ranagi's wariness and distrust of the other two people, as well as the hallucinations he brings about again and again.
Under the fear, he involuntarily distanced himself from those two people.
The patrol took a long time. In addition to checking the open space outside the house and checking the generator, etc., we also had to walk through the forest surrounding the wooden house. Ichiyanagi was really tired to the extreme, and his temples were beating like he was under his feet.
His blood felt like it was about to burst out of his skin, and he couldn't concentrate at all. He really couldn't do it without rest. Hearing this, he sighed softly: "Don't you mind?"
Abit jumped up and said, "Of course not. Just rest on the sofa and I can keep an eye on you in the living room. Don't move. I'll get you a pillow and quilt."
Before Ichitanagi could say "no", she had already disappeared into the bedroom. He leaned back and just breathed out of his lips, then he suddenly got up nervously and checked all the gaps in the sofa cushions.
Then he lay back down.
Abi quickly came out with the things in his arms, gave him a fluffy pillow, and spread a thin quilt on Wu Yiliu, as if he was a patient with a cold who needed care. Although he felt
There was no need for pillows or quilts, but I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart after being taken care of like this, and I softly said "thank you".
"You go to sleep, I'll check the TV again," Abi said, picking up the remote control. They tried the TV several times. Every time they turned on the TV, the cartoon character appeared as it was, motionless and useless.
; But TV is the only channel for them to understand the copy, so they have to try even if there is no result.
This pillow was obviously used by Abi himself. When Wu Yiliu buried his head in the pillow, his nose was full of Abi's scent. In front of his eyes, he could see a long curly hair dyed gold. Abi's back was turned to
The shadow of him adjusting the elevator soon blurred in his field of vision, turning into a meaningless block of color, and was eventually completely swallowed up by the incoming black sleep.
...When he slowly woke up from a deep sleep, Wu Yiliu had just opened his eyes. When he realized that the living room was so dark that no daylight could be seen, his stomach immediately shrank into a ball.
How long has it been since he fell asleep? Why haven't Pence and Cuining come back yet? Why did Abi let him sleep until dark?
He suddenly lifted the blanket and sat up from the sofa. Cold sweat seemed to be trapped in his pores and was about to come out, but it subsided the moment he saw Abi.
In the hazy darkness, a shadow was curled up on the single sofa. It turned out that Abi himself was asleep, with his legs curled up under him, and his whole body was huddled in the sofa, with his mouth slightly open as he slept.
, not like an evolved person, more like a little girl.
Without waking her up, Wu Yiliu just stood up quietly. The hands on the clock were pointing to three o'clock in the afternoon, indicating that Pence and Cuining had been out for less than an hour, but the room was almost completely dark; he
When I approached the window and looked outside, I found that there were dark clouds in the sky outside, and there was no sunlight.
His own shadow was like a cluster of translucent fragments, swaying gently with movement on the dark glass. Through a layer of glass, you could also feel how dull and heavy the air outside was - it seemed like a storm was
It's inevitable.
Seeing the weather like this, Pence and Cuining should come back soon.
This room seemed to be so quiet for the first time: the two of them went out and did not come back, and Abi fell asleep again. He stood alone in front of the window, and his ears were filled with the silence of the outside world, which was weighed down by the storm. He
Listening to his own breathing, Abi's breathing, and...the other's low breathing against the back of his neck.
...He finally heard it.
The attention that had been distracted by various incidents in the wooden house, and the sounds that were covered by fear and absent-mindedness, finally returned to his mind and ears again.
Wu Yiliu heard it. There was a subtle sound in the air behind him, like a drop of hallucination about to fall on the nerve endings. It was speaking to him softly. The sound continued, like the hum of a refrigerator engine. He listened for a long time.
, it will disappear from consciousness.
"It's going to rain. It's very cold. Wrap the blanket around you, wrap it tighter, wrap it up, don't take it off..."
Wu Yiliu looked at his reflection on the window glass, feeling as if his whole body was frozen in ice.
He clearly remembered taking off the blanket when he got up, but now the blanket was wrapped around his shoulders, standing with him in front of the dark glass where the storm was about to come.
No one stipulates that the fourth item must also be clothing.
