Chapter 9: Behind This Game?
Lian Zixin came to that dark area, several times taking steps to go, but several times, he couldn't make up his mind. Knowing that this was a place where evil spirits could appear at any time, he still had to enter an area where he couldn't see the fingers of the eyes alone to take action …… Lian Zixin's guts weren't big enough to reach such a level. Thus, this led to him standing in front of the dark area for a full five or six minutes before still not daring to go down. Just when he could never make up his mind, suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the dark area in front of him! The sound of these footsteps immediately scared Lian Zixin so much that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground! And with his footsteps, he subconsciously took two steps back! The footsteps then gave a lurch! Lian Zixin clenched his hand tightly, as he started to retreat step by step, his palm that was clutching the key, almost gripping blood. And then, he was the one who heard a voice from the other side of the darkness. "Lian Zixin?" Hearing this voice, Lian Zixin was greatly relieved! This voice was none other than …… Dong Evil! And then, in the darkness, a silhouette gradually stepped out, and it was indeed none other than Dong Xie. Lian Zixin's impression of Dong Xie was too deep, when he entered the apartment, he received the same blood word as Dong Xie, and at that time, many people in the apartment were rumoring that Dong Xie actually dared to go to the Blue Moon Village alone to execute the blood word, and so the people in the apartment called Dong Xie the "Evil Spirit Killer" and "The Strongest Sister Controller on the Surface". Of course, although these two nicknames are a bit of a tease, they also express everyone's admiration for Dong Xie. Because of this, Lian Zixin felt from the bottom of his heart that Dong Xie was indeed a real strong man! Dong Xie walked up to Lian Zixin, and in his hand, he was also holding a piece of paper. "Is it only you? Where are Chang Yong, Li Chong and the others?" "I didn't meet them." Lian Zixin shook his head and said, "But having met you, my heart is really quite settled." Dong Xie held up the paper in his hand and said, "You've got this paper too, right?" The two of them compared it, and their paper was exactly the same, both with the same challenge of collecting three keys. It seemed that this was indeed a team mission, and so far, it was as good as a haunted house escape room. "This blood character is much weirder than I thought." Dong Xie's face became much grimmer, "It really doesn't make sense." "Wait a minute ……," Lian Zixin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Maybe there really is a camera secretly placed by the program group around here, and at this moment maybe the viewers are all watching on the TV set, can we tell about the apartment and the blood words ?" "You're overthinking it, more than a few of the residents are trying to leak the existence of the apartment out using various online media. In the past, there was also a resident who directly took a selfie stick and live-streamed to the apartment, as a result, it was impossible to live-stream in front of the apartment, and when they went outside the apartment, no matter how much they talked about it, the fans in the live-streaming room couldn't go up by 100. Even if they themselves are the ones who have a lot of fans in the live-streaming room, once they are live-streaming, they will drop their fans, or even be blocked outright. The apartment has a thousand ways to stop its existence from being known to the outside world, or at least not be taken seriously by people from the outside world." Lian Zixin had previously been focusing on studying the various bloodletter quests and the limits of the wishes that could be granted, and hadn't thought that the apartment actually possessed such a powerful cursed power. Dong Qi sighed, "As time passes, the more I feel that the terror of this apartment is still far above what we can imagine. I really want to know just what kind of existence created this apartment, and what exactly is the purpose of having us constantly execute the blood words." Lian Zixin pondered over this question as well, "It's almost as if it's a game where we can exchange the chance to make a wish by executing the blood words. What exactly is the purpose of this?" This question was always a difficult mystery to solve. "Forget it," Dong Xie didn't bother thinking about this for now, "It's useless to think about the apartment right now, successfully executing this blood letter is the key. Did you get the key?" "Yes, yes!" Lian Zixin immediately handed the key over to Dong Xie, and upon seeing the key, Dong Xie also revealed a hint of joy. "There's progress, and that's a good thing! However, I don't know where Chang Yong, Han Lei, Li Chong, Ji Yu, and Yun Nai are." Lian Zixin also sighed when he heard Yun Nai's name. He and Yun Nai were also considered to be in the same boat, their son and daughter had been taken away at the same time just like that, and now they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. The two had already agreed that either one of them would live to the end and make a wish so that the other's child would be able to return to them. If both sides could survive to the end, one would wish to retrieve the child, and the other would wish to punish those god damned human traffickers. It was also because of this reason that he was especially concerned about Yunai's life and death. "Then, the key will be kept by you, Dong Xie, for now." Lian Zixin handed the keys to Dong Xie, "We have to find the others as soon as possible." Three keys …… to leave within three hours …… Without a doubt, if they can't leave, what awaits them is by no means the so-called "elimination". For the black water island, Dong Xie had checked a lot of information on the Internet before, but to be honest …… there are all kinds of different versions of rumors, the most exaggerated version is close to saying that the black water island is spreading the T-virus to create biological weapons, there is no doubt that all the dangers that appear in the blood word mission are only the existence of the spirit, and it will never be a biochemical weapon. The other versions of the story were equally true and false, regarding the number of deaths, ranging from a minimum of 20 to five thousand. And the rumors involving the spiritual aspect, one will be the séance, one will be under compulsion, one will be black witchcraft …… Most of them are opening a picture, and the process is all made up. Dong Xie asked himself, he to make up are more logical. Only one thing is certain. Blackwater Island this place, long years under the shroud of a large number of spiritual rumors, no one dared to board this island anymore, until this time, "Escape! Alien Spirit", the show's crew decided to film a reality show on the island, it was a completely and utterly uninhabited island. Just like Chernobyl and Fukushima after the disaster, this place almost completely retains the appearance of the islanders when they evacuated Blackwater Island. When signing the contract, Dong Xie also carefully checked it out. This time, the program, there would be no script, the game could start at any time, and the crew would have the right to control their personal freedom to a certain extent during the program. And the program team would not change any of the facilities on the island at all, completely retaining the state of the island as it was when the islanders left the island in the first place. But even that was too strange. The difference between Dong Xie and Lian Zixin was that the place he woke up in was an outpatient clinic. And he could only remember that he had been on the cruise ship the night before, when it had been about to arrive at Blackwater Island. However, who knew that once he woke up, he would actually appear inside this abandoned hospital. Inferring from this piece of paper, this was already Blackwater Island. But! This doesn't make sense at all! The people from the program, directly brought the sleeping them to the abandoned hospital on the island, left a piece of paper, and waited for them to wake up and start this secret room escape? It doesn't have to be that exaggerated, does it? Therefore, Dong Xie has basically decided one thing in his heart, the leading behind this, is no longer the program team of Dongxing TV. The manipulator behind this game …… is afraid to be the apartment! However, at the moment, for the time being, without any other clues, he could only temporarily adopt the contents of this piece of paper and collect the three keys. But at the same time, can not be thinking completely constrained in this, to know, this piece of paper written on the challenge is not the word of blood instructions, but also completely possible word of blood of the dead end traps, so that the residents to collect the key, let them take the initiative to find death. All of this was to be done on a case-by-case basis. "Dong Evil, then we next ……" "Well ……," Dong Xie looked at the dark area to the side, that piece of area was completely unlit, and no one knew what was inside, to say that it wasn't scary, was completely impossible. Only, having executed the Bloodletter more times than not, Dong Xie also had experience. From the time span of this bloodletter, the evil spirits wouldn't be so quick to kill so easily, and he was skeptical as to whether or not all the clues to the way of life had been given. "Let's go first. Walk together. Figure out how to find something that can be illuminated. But don't think about finding the key yet, maybe we don't have to get the key only to get out of the hospital." "Then?" "First, determine if there is any other means of leaving the hospital! If it's determined that we can't leave, we'll have to get the key!"
