CIATB Chapter 106 Haunted House
Chapter 106 Haunted House
The two puppets, holding the mechanical parasite on their heads, tilted their heads in unison, and looked at Yi Qi with the same expression.
This scene looks quite infiltrating.
But Yiqi's voice was always calm: "Everything you do is too deliberate, X."
"From entering this amusement park, to the game levels you deliberately set, and the diary fragments attached to each monster, you just treat human life as a game, and you have a strong purpose from the beginning."
"You have repeatedly mentioned the Adenauer and his daughter in your diary, trying to use this tragic story to disturb my emotions. And all you have done is to confuse the line of sight, just to hide your true intention - the haunted house trap .”
"And, if I'm not wrong..." Yi Qi looked up and down at the puppet in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips, "Mr. Bach Adenauer, who wrote the diary, finally escaped."
"The last date recorded in the diary is [-]. Although the Internet had already appeared at that time and had been extended to civilian use, it was far from being as popular as it is now."
"And you, as the core of the system, are destined to be more dependent on the network than I am."
"So in the 90s, the power you developed was far less massive than it is now, and you couldn't cover the sky with one hand. If the old Bach's belief in escaping is strong enough, and he puts it into practice carefully, there is great hope of escaping from you."
What he said seemed to hit X's pain point.
The expressions of the two puppets who were originally expressionless suddenly darkened, revealing a stiff and angry expression neatly.
And Yi Qi looked at them calmly, as if looking through a puppet to the black hand hiding behind the scenes.
"Looking at your expression, the old Bach did escape successfully."
"It's not hard to imagine that Bach, who escaped, kept his name incognito and hid himself well in a corner of the world, so that you haven't found him for so many years, let alone find him out again."
"Otherwise you wouldn't show such an expression of embarrassment, and you wouldn't use two puppets with false identities to fool me."
His own plan was ruthlessly smashed by the opponent one by one, and the expressions of the two puppets couldn't help but become more gloomy.
But after a while, the gloom on the faces of the puppets disappeared without a trace, and they showed stiff smirks again.
"Yes, Yiqi...you are very smart, those scientists really endowed you with a brain of wisdom beyond ordinary people."
"You are so smart, after knowing that the location of the haunted house is just a trap, you will definitely not step into it stupidly..."
"But what if humans have already stepped into it?"
"Several smart little bugs broke into the spider web in a daze. They were entangled in the sticky web and couldn't get out. They could only flutter their wings in vain and hum in despair..."
"Are you willing to step into this trap carefully designed for you for a few stupid humans?"
"My great guardian of civilization, respected child of hope... are you willing to be stupid?"
With smiles on their faces, the puppets bowed gracefully to Yi Qi again, their exaggerated movements were full of mockery.
Yi Qi didn't speak, but his silver eyes sank.
……
In the amusement park, the entrance to the haunted house buried in the ruins.
"My God! How many years has this place been cleaned? It's disgusting!"
Chen Bill looked at the ground under his feet, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust, and kept complaining.
This deserted haunted house looked like a garbage dump from the outside, but after the three of them entered, they realized that the inside was not much different from the outside.
There are dense spider webs everywhere, and there is a thick layer of dust.
Some damaged props and statues were stacked up and down, messing up the already narrow passage.
A blood-stained rubber arm lay across here, a plastic head rolled over there, a broken statue body lay in front of it, and a rag doll hung from behind.
In addition, because of the abandonment, the haunted house was so dark that even the lights could not be turned on. The only light source in the dark was the illuminator held by the outsiders.
So in this dim environment, the three of them could only be closely connected together, moving cautiously, stumbling on their feet.
Although the old Thomas was relatively old, he had profound experience and rich experience, so he voluntarily walked in the forefront and was responsible for opening the way.
Witch Taoxi is more proficient in things such as witchcraft and curses, so she follows old Thomas closely, ready to attack at any time.
Chen Bier had the best physical strength and strong physical attack power. He was placed in the last position and was responsible for finishing the rear.
But Bill Chen seemed very dissatisfied with this queue order, so he muttered and complained all the way.
Tao Xi in front couldn't help scolding softly: "Stop talking! For God's sake, you can't be quiet, even for a minute!"
"We are already behind in the game, Little Brown and John must have rushed into the haunted house before us, why can't you shut up your stinking mouth and explore honestly?"
"Ha! A savage woman from Africa, it seems that you are very used to this kind of dirty environment." Bill Chen retorted, not to be outdone, "If your condescending criticism could make us catch up with little Brown, we wouldn't be like this now , completely lost the opportunity!"
"Can your little witchcraft, which you are so proud of, lead us to any useful clues?"
As he spoke, he rubbed the soles of his shoes on the ground in disgust.
There was a layer of sticky stuff on the floor of the haunted house, which exuded a stench, and it was very sticky to step on.
But when Bill Chen shined his flashlight on the ground, he found only a thick layer of dust, and nothing else.
Just as he was lowering his head to study the ground, he accidentally bumped his head into something.
"What Fu***!"
He could not help cursing and looking up.
A statue, an unremarkable plaster figure, stood in his way.
Because of the passage of time, this plaster statue looked very dirty and yellowed, not as white as ordinary plaster statues, and it was in a damaged state, missing half of its shoulders.
Although the broken statue is only half-length, when combined with the base, it looks taller than Bill Chen.
At this moment, the statue was lowering its head slightly, staring at him from a certain overlooking angle.
Chen Bier muttered and cursed, kicked the plaster statue angrily, and then continued to walk forward to keep up with the team in front.
But after walking a few steps, he seemed to have sensed something, turned around suddenly, and shone the flashlight on the plaster statue behind him.
I saw that the statue was still standing in place, and nothing seemed to have changed.
But under the pale light, the head of the statue no longer looked down, but slightly changed its posture. The head twisted backwards, and a pair of pale eyes without pupils also turned around, as if staring at Chen Bier's head. back view.
Looking at this lifeless statue, Bill Chen suddenly felt horrified, and the hairs on his back stood on end.
This abandoned haunted house is indeed abnormal!
He took two quick steps forward and caught up with his companions again, wanting to tell them what he had just discovered.
But before he could speak, he suddenly received a call.
The mobile phone number showed that it was old Thomas calling.
Chen Bier raised his head in horror and looked towards the front of his team.
Old Thomas was still walking unhurriedly ahead, his old back was straight, and he didn't seem to notice anything.
Bill Chen hesitated to connect to the phone, and said in the smallest voice, "Hello?"
Old Thomas' familiar voice came from the phone: "Where are you?"
"I……"
Chen Bier was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Aren't I right here with you?"
"Don't be kidding! You just disappeared as soon as you turned your head. Ms. Tao Xi and I have been looking for you for a long time."
He listened to the voice coming from the mobile phone, and looked up again at the back of old Thomas in front of him.
After hesitating for a moment, he quietly hung up the phone, then stepped back lightly, without disturbing anyone.
Soon, he quietly moved away from the two people in front of him and disappeared into the darkness.
It wasn't until Tao Xi glanced back inadvertently that he was surprised to find that Bill Chen had separated from them.
Old Thomas, who was at the forefront, immediately took out his mobile phone and tried to contact the missing teammate after learning the news.
Soon, the phone is connected.
"Hey?"
On the other end of the phone, Bill Chen's voice was so soft that he couldn't hear it clearly, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.
Old Thomas frowned and asked him, "Where are you?"
"I……"
The other party seemed to hesitate for a moment before replying in a low voice: "Aren't I right here with you?"
Old Thomas was a little angry: "Don't be kidding! You just disappeared as soon as you turned your head. Ms. Tao Xi and I have been looking for you for a long time."
The other party was silent for a long time, and then suddenly hung up the phone.
Old Thomas tried to call again, but the other party showed that the phone was turned off.
"What's the matter with him? Why did he suddenly lose his temper... or did he encounter some unexpected situation?" Even this old man with rich life experience was a little confused at this moment.
But Tao Xi suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.
The young witch lay on the ground very vigilantly, with her ears pressed to the ground, as if she was listening for something.
"There are sounds... There are a lot of slight sounds, rustling, like a mouse stepping on the floor. If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear them at all... The source of the sound is moving!"
The witch's eyes widened suddenly: "It's approaching us!"
Before she had time to explain, she jumped up from the floor, and quickly took out a piece of dried cat skin and three bloody mouse tails from her body pocket.
These three mouse tails were the monsters she had tamed in the hotel before, and they were just in use at this time.
Following the chanting of a spell, the dried cat skin quickly turned into a lively black cat.
And those three long mouse tails also twitched violently and turned into three fat gray-haired mice.
The old black cat made a "meow", stuck to Tao Xi's feet, circled around the witch's calf, and then arched its back inexplicably, and the fur on its back stood up.
The three mice stood up, with their front paws resting on their chests, three pairs of mouse eyes rovingly, and their pink noses sniffing in the air.
There seemed to be an ominous atmosphere in the air, making these psychic animals a little anxious.
Witch Tao Xi directed at the source of the sound, stretched out her arm and pointed silently.
Driven by the spell, the three mice screamed twice and ran in that direction first.
The old black cat frowned and followed closely behind.
A few small figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.
But that strange, inaudible sound was still getting closer and closer to them without stopping.
Old Thomas and Tao Xi immediately became vigilant, frowning and looking into the darkness.
A looming white appeared indistinctly in the darkness, and disappeared strangely in the blink of an eye.
Like a ghostly shadow, swaying hazily, and like a swift beast, passing across the ceiling, leaving only a faint white shadow.
But the rustling sound became more and more obvious, and it was getting closer and closer to the two of them.
After a while, with a few screams, the figure of a black cat limped back.
The distressed black cat yelled "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and got back into his pocket on his own initiative before the owner could say anything, looking terrified.
But the three fat mice never came back.
