After leaving the community, Wang Quan found that the streets were much deserted than the previous few days.
Pedestrians coming and going are also in a hurry.
Many remote shops are not open during the day.
Wang Quan pursed his lips, found an empty bus stop, sat down by a public trash can and lit a cigarette.
Today is a working day, but on weekdays there are many elderly people and idle people wandering around.
After all, Luoyang is only a third-tier city, and the pace of life is relatively not that fast.
Today is indeed a bit unusual.
Probably the vicious incident made the news, and then it finally started to spread.
Wang Quan stood up and put out his cigarette in the ashtray on top of the trash can.
Early autumn is still hot, the sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing.
Wang Quan unbuttoned the top button of his light-colored shirt, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, closed his eyes for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and opened the taxi app to hail a taxi.
Three minutes later, he got in the car
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Zhoushan Bangu villa area.
After getting out of the car, paying the bill and giving the five-star review, the car drove away.
Wang Quan put his cell phone back in his trouser pocket and looked up at the community in front of him.
This is an old-fashioned community built on the hillside, which must have been more than 20 years ago.
The community has a total of four buildings, one with seven units, and each unit is an old-fashioned community with seven floors.
Wang Quan sensed that there were actually five Hellwalkers in this community?
"Oh, is there any unexpected gain?"
Wang Quan's scarlet eyes flashed away, and the next moment, he disappeared on the spot.
Wang Quan stopped in front of a six-door, four-door security door.
He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
The room was quiet, no one answered.
Wang Quan stood quietly for a moment, raised his hand and pressed it on the keyhole.
A faint black and red mist filled the keyhole from his index finger, and a second later, the security door opened.
Wang Quan stepped into the house.
The living room is empty.
He walked into the bathroom, kitchen, and master bedroom, but there was no one there.
When I came to the second bedroom, there was no one here either.
Wang Quan glanced at the wardrobe in the corner and said to himself: "It doesn't seem to be here."
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
With the opening and closing of the security door and the sound of footsteps going downstairs, calm returned to the bedroom again.
One minute.
five minutes.
ten minutes.
There was no sound in the bedroom.
It was only in the past half hour that the wardrobe in the corner opened a small crack.
One eye carefully observes the outside from the inside.
Then that eye was suddenly filled with fear.
Because the smiling man in the shirt was still sitting at the computer desk in the bedroom, looking at the closet where she was.
The closet door suddenly closed tightly.
"Do you want me to ask you to come out?"
Wang Quan crossed his legs and said, "If I ask you to come out, it won't be so easy to talk to me."
The cabinet remained motionless.
"I can only count to three. This is my last chance."
Wang Quan started counting.
"three."
"Do not kill me!"
The cupboard door opened, and a woman shrank and walked out.
To say it's a woman, maybe a girl is more appropriate.
He has a thin body, a handsome face but full of fear, and his hair is combed into a ponytail on the back of his head. He looks to be in his early twenties.
She was wearing a white T-shirt, but it was full of stains, dust, mud, and blood.
The abdomen was leaking out, but it was torn open by an unknown beast. There were several circles of bandages wrapped around her abdomen, and the blood under the bandages had seeped out.
Wang Quan smiled kindly, "Why are you so afraid of me?"
"Do not kill me"
The girl looked horrified and could not say anything else.
"If you continue to talk nonsense, then I will really kill you." Wang Quan pointed to the bed, "Sit down and talk."
He took out his phone and clicked on the timer, "I'll give you one minute. If I'm not satisfied after the time is up, you will die."
"please"
The girl's voice was faintly tinged with tears. She held her arms tightly with both hands, her knuckles turned white when she pinched them hard, and her nails pricked a small hole in her long-sleeved T-shirt.
"Fifty-seven seconds left."
The girl panicked and explained everything intermittently.
She hid on the edge of the city the first night.
It was dark outside the city and she did not dare to go out.
But at that time, a small number of monsters did not dare to approach.
She spent the first night there.
The next day she wandered around the city and found a fast food restaurant where she stayed until night.
Perhaps sensing that she had something to hide, the clerk gave her two unsold hamburgers after get off work.
She had another lucky night that night.
During the day on the third day, she met the group of seven and was imprisoned here.
During the day on the fourth day, that is, today, she was placed in this room by the other party.
She is both bait and alarm bell.
Wang Quan thought thoughtfully, "So they told you what I look like?"
The girl nodded hurriedly, "Please don't kill me. You are a loser. There is no conflict between us."
"This is really embarrassing."
Wang Quan swayed, "How did they know you would meet me?"
"I don't know, I'm the bait. It's the same for everyone, even if it's just an ordinary person." The girl's face turned paler as she spoke.
She suddenly knelt down and pulled Wang Quan's trousers, pleading: "Please help me! I really don't want to die!"
"That's interesting." Wang Quan was unmoved and even laughed, "Those who were killed by you must have begged you in the same way. If you and I exchanged identities, would you let me go?"
"But I've never killed anyone! I've never killed anyone!"
The girl broke down more and more as she spoke, with tears in her eyes, "It feels so disgusting. I heard incomprehensible orders and wanted to kill people. Why would I do this? I haven't graduated from college yet! I'm the only child in my family. I
I want to go home!”
She had begun to speak incoherently.
"I've really never killed anyone."
A hint of scarlet appeared in the depths of Wang Quan's eyes.
He looked the girl up and down.
Although there was a smell of blood, it did not look like anyone had been killed.
Sighing, Wang Quan said: "Give me your watch, and I won't kill you. I can even guarantee that you will survive this 'Midnight Echo'. Also, hand over all the things you got from 'Hell'
."
Then just erase this girl's memory and abilities and let her live as an ordinary person in this world.
And this is a good opportunity.
Wang Quan had never had a better understanding of "hell" before.
If we could take away her qualification as a "Hell Walker"
The girl was startled, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, "Are you telling the truth?!"
"Of course, I guarantee that you will survive these few days. But it is probably impossible for you to return to your original world." Wang Quan smiled lightly, "I will erase all your memories of 'hell' and deprive you of everything."
With your extraordinary abilities, you can survive in this world."
Then just hand it over to the authorities.
There have long been solutions to the problem of registering illegal households in the law.
The girl wiped away her tears and hurriedly took out all her belongings from the space and piled them on the ground.
A fruit knife, a shell gun, and a piece of gold half the size of a fist. "That's all. I haven't completed three missions in a row, so I entered this battle royale team battle."
"Okay." Wang Quan picked up the knife and the shell gun, and a black and red mist surrounded them, and then the two weapons were reduced to ashes.
He picked up the gold and put it in his arms, "After 'Midnight Echoes' ends, I will give you a house and a deposit of 100,000 yuan. From now on, it will be up to you.
"Now, stretch out your arms."
The girl raised her left arm and revealed the smart watch.
"Close your eyes and grit your teeth."
The girl closed her eyes tightly.
Wang Quan raised his knife and slashed instantly.
The girl's left hand was instantly cut off.
She groaned and turned pale.
Wang Quan pulled off his watch, and black and red mist covered it.
A burst of black and red current flashed across, and the watch stopped moving.
Wang Quan put the watch on his left wrist.
Then he put his hand on the girl's wound and said, "Be patient."
His fingers were filled with black and red mist, and he wiped it along his wrist.
"alright."
The girl opened her eyes and moved her fingers.
She raised her head, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"It's okay. You won't enter the 'Midnight Echo' tonight. When this incident is over, I will ask you to erase your memory and abilities."
Wang Quan stood up and was about to leave.
When he reached the bedroom door, he turned back and asked, "By the way, where are they?"
"They are here"
Halfway through her words, the girl was startled. Her waist was instantly cut in half, and a bead flew out from the ruptured abdominal cavity.
The bead flew in front of Wang Quan and suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Then, it exploded.
When the smoke cleared, Wang Quan lowered his head and glanced at the girl who was lying on the ground and cut into two pieces, her eyes had lost their luster.
He suddenly laughed, laughing very self-deprecatingly.
