Chapter 122 122Secret 2

“Fuck! I’m dead again! Who of you picked up my equipment? I’m going to give you a **** if I don’t have a gun!” - Gantry Crane.

“Don’t worry, wait until I break out and pull you out! I have a resurrection bag. It’s useless if you get up anyway. You can pull it out anytime.” - Skittles Candy.

 “Died thirteen times in half an hour! What’s going on!? This game has no experience!” - Gantry Crane.

Li Chengyi was speechless, silently deleting the words he wanted to type, and then pulled up to see the historical chat records.

 Having been doing this for a long time, this group of people were playing a shooting game.

 “Are you all okay?”—Cheng Yi.

 He sent a query.

 "Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng is still alive! I thought he was dead!" - Gantry Crane.

This guy can't speak at all and I want to beat him.

Li Chengyi's face twitched.

 “Xiaotang, how’s your investigation going?”—Cheng Yi.

“I’m quitting. I’m going to report to Brother Cheng first.” Rainbow Sugar sent a message to the group chat and quickly replied to Li Chengyi.

"I'm okay here. One leg is temporarily lame. When I flashed, I was touched by the black hand and a large piece of meat was missing. Fortunately, I moved quickly. I remembered what you said, Brother Cheng. I cut it off with one knife. Half the meat, the rest is fine, everything is fine.”

 She posted a photo of her beautiful legs, which were all white.

　　Well, a large piece of the calf of the right leg is missing, and it is tightly tied with a white bandage.

 “Thank you for your hard work. I remembered it this time.”—Cheng Yi.

He also didn't expect that this group of dead-end people would do this for a team they just formed.

"Anyway, we might end up with this minor injury at any time. The Daxiong family has tissue culture and filling surgery. They use their own cells to culture their own meat, and they can fill it up in a few days." Skittles disliked the slow typing, so she simply applied by voice. .

Li Chengyi clicked to connect. As soon as the call was connected, there were bursts of blood-spraying moans coming from the other side.

“Oh, my voice is tuned wrong! Wait a minute.” There was a crackling sound on the side of the rainbow candy.

 The voice soon became quieter.

“Ah, okay, okay, Brother Cheng, just pretend you didn’t hear me.” Rainbow Tang laughed dryly. "We walk on the tightrope every day now. Maybe in a few days there will be no more people, and our hobbies will become more unrestrained."

 “As long as you are happy.” Li Chengyi was speechless. "What's the intelligence over there?"

“I didn’t have much time to collect after I went in, but the cucumber helped me find some.”

Skittle Candy sent over a bunch of pictures and text information.

“Besides, when I went in, I didn’t meet the Iselin you mentioned, Brother Cheng. I was the only one in the bedroom I entered, and there was no one else. The layout of the room was also different from what you described.”

 Li Chengyi clicked on the information.

 It is all about verification of various aspects of the customs and traditions of the Gilkini people.

 Especially regarding the collection of substitutes, it is particularly comprehensive.

"In addition, at the blind spot over there, I discovered that not all the people in the previous fire were dead. The boy who killed his entire family missed a neighbor child who was hiding under the bed and came to their house as a guest. ." Skittles said in a solemn tone.

 “What’s more, the child is a girl, and her name is”

 “Iseline!”

Li Chengyi shuddered slightly.

“Is it a coincidence that they have the same name?”

“It should be, is this one of the reasons why the two dead ends merged?” Skittles was not sure either.

 “How did she survive?” Li Chengyi asked.

“She hid under the bed for more than half an hour until the fire was extinguished by fire fighters. She was rescued in a semi-conscious state with burns in many places on her body, but luckily she was still alive.”

“So now we have a preliminary discussion and feel that the most likely way to escape is to hide under the bed and wait for at least half an hour.” Skittles replied.

"You can try. On my side." Li Chengyi began to describe the situation on his side in detail.

While speaking, he also began to click on the information and read it carefully.

　　‘The Gilkini people believe in a super-ancient behemoth named Asladuni. They believe that all human real knowledge is just a dream created by Asraduni unintentionally while sleeping. ’

“In the belief of the Gilkini people, only they themselves are the real thing. They are like living on an island surrounded by countless fake things, surrounded by a sea of ​​illusory dreams. ’

 Attached is a picture below.

In the black and white oil painting, there is a pitch black sea with a white eye in the middle.

 If you look carefully, you will find that there are many little white people standing on the eyes.

 They seem to represent the Gilkini people.

 ‘So, in order to seek the protection of Asladuni, in order to avoid the strange and dangerous invasion in the surrounding infinite black sea.

 They spread the idea of ​​substitution.

 Use the sacrifice of a few people to attract the attention of strange and dangerous people, and then hide yourself and smear your face with white flour to pretend that you are also a member of the Black Sea and avoid danger. ’

 Below is a photo of someone applying white flour to their face.

“In addition, due to their serious preference for boys over girls, the Gilkini people usually choose girls as sacrifices and make substitutes. The boy is the preserved one. ’

 When Li Chengyi saw this text, everything connected in his mind instantly.

The room hidden underground is full of traces of boys, while the bedrooms on the ground floor are all traces of girls.

 ‘Could it be said that Israelin is her brother’s substitute! ? ’

 This speculation flashed through his mind.

 This is very possible.

“Because the Gilkini people believe that all reality in the world is a dream of the great beast Asladuni, they believe that the bed that produces dreams is protected by the great beast.

In the dark ocean, the safest place is the bed you sleep on. They compared the bed to a boat that could swim freely in the Black Sea without being discovered by weird dangers. "

 ‘In the belief of the Gilkini people, the bed has the function of connecting the real Black Sea and the illusory reality, which is a very wonderful thing. Because of the opposite understanding of reality and illusion, many of them pursue hallucinogenic herbs to keep themselves in a psychedelic state for a long time, and explain that everything they see in this psychedelic state is the real reality.

 According to records, before the massacre thirty years ago, the total population of the Gilkini people was already declining year by year. Before the massacre, according to the Census Bureau, their total number was only 3,672. ’

“A group of pathetic lunatics.” Li Chengyi commented when he saw this.

"Yeah. At first I thought it was made of other things, but I didn't expect it was made of living people. It's disgusting, this nation." Skittles replied.

 The preference for boys over girls has obviously hit her sore point.

“In other words, the current way to escape is to make a preliminary decision, hide under the bed, and then wait for at least half an hour?” Li Chengyi asked.

“It’s just a preliminary determination, but I don’t think it will be that simple.” Skittles said.

“The electronic device I have here probably contains data. I’ll bring it back first to restore it and take a look.” Li Chengyi said.

“Things from thirty years ago are probably almost moldy now. It’s hard to restore,” Skittles said.

 “Leave it to me, this is my major.” Xiao Brown joined the group voice chat and laughed in half-baked Yiguo dialect.

“As long as the originals are not physically damaged or completely corroded, there will definitely be no problem in recovering most of the data.” Xiao Brown was very confident.

 “Then. I’ll be back soon.” Li Chengyi said in a deep voice.

“Brother Cheng, did Brother Xiao Hao just take action?” Rainbow Tang suddenly asked.

"What's wrong? I don't know. I've been in the hotel all the time and just took a shower." Li Chengyi answered. "Sutan Lanlu just issued an emergency announcement. A company of their patrolling soldiers was attacked by mysterious forces and has now been wiped out. There are suspected traces of flying instruments at the scene, and the address is in Mukesha Town." Skittles Candy road.

 “Then I don’t know.” Li Chengyi refused to admit it.

"The flight tickets have been booked. Brother Cheng, please come back immediately, otherwise there may be danger. The masters of Blue Deer have noticed it, and there may be trouble." Skittles said in a serious tone.

"It's no use. The plane returning to Yiguo from Moon Airport has been blocked. Lan Lu is so quick! Brother Cheng, I'll book a ticket for you to Hill Airport 40 kilometers away! You'd better leave right away!" Dahei joined in The group chat quickly said.

“I can’t book a ticket online at all! How did you book it!?” Skittles said in surprise.

"I have some friends over there, Sugar Girl, and many things can't be done online alone. It's time to set off, Brother Cheng. The time is two hours from your end." Dahei said quickly.

"clear!"

Li Chengyi really realized the power of his team this time.

 The boss's company is beyond reach. In Sutan, I originally thought I could only rely on myself, but I didn't expect that everyone in the small team worked together, and all aspects were arranged quite properly.

 The information is also exceptionally well-informed.

I packed my things immediately, left a message for Elf and the two of them, and told them to be careful. Li Chengyi used the local map route given by Dahei at night to determine the direction.

 Then pick up the luggage bag and open the door.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

 He paused in his steps.

Standing at the door, not moving forward.

 Outside the door, the hotel corridor, which was previously carpeted and brightly lit, was now completely dark.

 Shadows are like ink that is so thick that it cannot be melted away, constantly flowing and lingering outside the door.

 Can't see anything clearly, can't see anything.

Just like there are two spaces inside and outside the door.

 ‘Almost.’ Li Chengyi took a deep breath, closed the door gently, and turned around.

　　‘Just a little bit.’

 He felt a suffocation in his heart.

 Fortunately, some research finally led to a feasible solution.

 In the room, the lights are still bright and the room decoration is still the same as that of a hotel.

 But Li Chengyi knew that everything was different.

He thought for a while, quickly dragged his things, put on his wisteria-scaled clothes, then hurriedly packed some food and drink, and quickly got under the bed.

Before there is any danger, he can try the method first to see if it is feasible!

As soon as he lay down on the ground, he saw Iselin wearing a white nightgown, hiding under the bed timidly, looking at him with big blue eyes in horror.

 But soon, she seemed to recognize the person, and the panic in the girl's eyes quickly faded.

“Jiligulujiligulu!” She opened her mouth and heard a burst of Sudanese language.

Li Chengyi immediately took out his mobile phone to translate.

"You still here?"

“Come in quickly, things are about to change outside!” Yiselin grabbed Li Chengyi’s arm and tried to pull him to the bottom of the bed.

"What has changed again? What do you mean by the three times you said it last time?" Li Chengyi squeezed in and squeezed to her side.

Because his body is too big, he can only lie down instead of curling up like the thin Iselin.

 “Three times, that’s it. Hush!” Suddenly Iselin raised her finger, making a silent gesture.

At this time, she was completely healthy and alive, with no trace of the miserable appearance outside.

Li Chengyi immediately fell silent and wanted to use his mobile phone to type and translate for her.

 Suddenly, in the room outside, the bright lights began to dim slowly.

 The temperature dropped significantly.

 What surprised Li Chengyi even more was that the edge of the bottom of the bed actually changed.

The bed he originally slept on had black and white checkered sheets on the side.

 But at this time, the sheet quickly turned black, hardened, and turned into a stone-like texture.

He gently reached out and touched it, and the hard and cold touch came back. Even the flower-scaled clothes could not block the chill.

 “Shh!” Iselin on the side quickly patted him and made a silencing gesture again.

 Then she put her little head on the ground and looked sideways outside the bed.

Li Chengyi followed her example and also put his head down on the ground and looked out.

  “!?”

At this time, the scenery outside made his pupils shrink, a chill ran through his body, and goosebumps appeared on the surface of his skin.

 The outside is no longer the furnishings and carpets of the previous hotel.

 It is a spacious and empty hall.

 From the first sight, there is a black stone hall full of round arched doors and windows.

It was gray outside the window, nothing could be seen, and it was shrouded in thick fog.

 In the hall.

A group of men in black cloaks are standing there.

Their faces were pale, as if they were smeared with white flour, and their cloaks were embroidered with various strange and unrecognizable symbols.

 The most important thing is not this.

 What really made Li Chengyi nervous was the lower body of these cloaked figures.

 Their lower bodies, where their legs should be, are all clusters of black tentacles.

There are black mist and red light spots flowing between the tentacles. At first glance, it is definitely not a posture that modern technology can create.

 Papa.

 Eselin on the side suddenly patted him at this moment.

Li Chengyi turned around and looked at her.

Iselin pointed to the phone, moved closer, and spoke in an extremely low voice.

“They are believers! They are friendly and believe in fair trade of equal value. You can exchange things with them.”

  “!?”

Thank you for Lao Lang’s recommendation. If you are interested, you can also check out Lao Lang’s father Han Gaozu in the history department.

There were a little less new additions yesterday, but not much. Lao Gun was still very pleased.

This means that among friends who read Lao Gunshu, college entrance examination students account for only a small proportion.

It seems that I have not affected the study career of the senior high school party members, which is for the best. Finally, I wish all candidates and friends that they can get into their favorite university majors.
