MTL - My Weird Life-Chapter 8 lantern

   Chapter 8 Lanterns

   This is the fourth time Su Wu has entered the game.

   He stood up when he heard the electronic sound indicating that the game was loaded successfully.

  'Dark Walker (Green)' talent took effect automatically, and I saw a black and white picture that was the same as what I saw with an infrared night vision device.

   He quickly picked up the notepad on the table, the phone that was turned off, and the remote control and the key to the main switch box next to him.

   After the last simulation, Su Wu began to train himself to develop the habit of placing important items in a fixed location for easy searching.

   This habit is reflected in future simulations.

   He put away a few things and looked around, but he still didn't see any trace of Gangdong and Dizhong.

   Pushed the door and walked to the living room, but neither of these two things were seen.

  Su Wu thought about it: "It seems that mysterious things like Gangdong and Dizhong will not be 'copied' a second time in future simulations."

Since the    imperial bell has not been copied, it means that the imperial bell is also a magical instrument with mysterious effects.

   Your vision and luck are pretty good.

  Thinking like this, the electronic voice vaguely emerged in his mind: "You have realized the temporary talent: Koi Possession (white)."

   "Koi Possession (white): You are the type of ordinary people who are more likely to obtain mysterious items."

  I realized this talent because I got two mysterious items in a row?

  Su Wu nodded inwardly, stood at the entrance of the living room, and looked at the corridor outside through the cat's eyes—in the corridor with black and white pictures, no lights were on.

   He then twisted the door handle, turned off the voice-activated light, and walked downstairs cautiously.

   has the first experience, he went to the first floor very smoothly this time.

   No accident happened on the way.

  Although you can get an additional 3 Yuanyu rewards for every escape from Yinggui's men, but this kind of thing has to fight the probability after all.

   If you are lucky, the shadow monster didn't come down in an instant. If you kill yourself, you can get the reward.

   If you have bad luck, and the shadow trick comes in an instant, then you will definitely die, and you will waste another simulation opportunity.

  Su Wu waited for a while at the corner of the stairs.

  I didn't hear any movement in the house of the resident on the first floor, so I went to the first floor to turn off the electric switch, then pushed open the door of the unit building, and ran straight out!

   Dong Dong Dong!

   There were short and intense footsteps in the alley.

  The skylight sprinkled into the passage between the two unit buildings, interweaving with the street lights on the corner of the street, creating a lot of staggered shadows.

  Su Wu's shadow was pulled extremely long under the light.

   kept beating as he ran.

   A wisp of corpse stench lingered in Su Wu's nose. In just one breath, the corpse stench became extremely strong, as if there was a rotting corpse next to him!

   At the corner ahead, the street lamp glowed orange.

   Behind, his shadow and the shadows of various objects around him poured out thick black liquid, wrapping Su Wu from all directions in an instant!

  The first moment the smell of corpse appeared, Su Wu had already put the Gangdong to his lips, and it sounded right away!

   "Woooooooooooooo-"

   A ghostly cry came from the Gangdong, and a cold wind blew through Su Wu's skin.

   The wind was instantly dyed red, and surrounded Su Wu. When the shadowy ghost was covering Su Wu, the hand bones wrapped around the silver and bright tendons rushed out of the wind and slammed forward!

   scoff!

  Shadow Trick was ripped apart by a huge crack!

  Su Wu rushed out!

   Different from the last time, this time, the hand bones summoned by Blowing Gangdong followed Su Wu two steps before being wrapped in the viscous black liquid behind!

   The light illuminated the hand bones covered with a layer of black film, which swelled directly into a ten-fingered black hand dozens of feet long, filling the entire roadway.

   Ten fingers clenched fiercely towards Su Wu who was just a short distance away!

"Come!"

   A word came out of Su Wu's mouth.

   His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but there was an inexplicable madness in his eyes.

   He held the imperial bell covered in rust in his right hand, and his wrist shook violently!

   "Jingle dong dong!"

   The sound of bells rang out in the thick and heavy, and the invisible sound waves radiated in all directions with Su Wu as the center!

   The ten jet-black fingers that were grabbing towards Su Wu suddenly stopped in the air!

  It was fixed!

  Emperor Bell, very useful!

  Su Wu didn't dare to hesitate, he turned his head while holding the imperial bell and fled around the corner!

   The last time he escaped along this road, the comment from the simulator was 'Life is at hand', which means that you may be saved by walking this road!

   However, before he took a few steps, he suddenly felt the chill approaching behind him—

   "Jingle dong dong!"

  Su Wu shook the imperial bell again, while turning his head to look back, he saw that the distance between the black hand and himself was less than two meters.

   The imperial bell didn't ring just now, it got out of control and almost approached Su Wu, pinching him to death!

   Fortunately, he reacted a beat faster!

so close!

   Dare not to turn his back to the black hand again, Su Wu was facing the huge arm two meters away, rang the imperial bell and stepped back slowly.

  Invisible sound waves continued to radiate around, enveloping the black hand.

   As a result, the black hand was like a small video with dropped frames, moving card by card in the rhythm, always maintaining a distance of two meters from Su Wu.

   Until Su Wu exited the alley, the black hand finally stopped chasing him.

   It stretched its ten fingers in vain at the entrance of the alley, but could only let Su Wu's figure drift away and walked out of the unit building.

  The light of the sky poured into the dark fork, illuminating the ground slightly.

Su Wu stood beside a few trash cans, holding the imperial bell, looking at the shadow behind him that overlapped with the trash can, no more viscous black liquid gushing out of the shadow, nor did he turn into a shadow and stand up to kill him. .

   Until now, he was not convinced that he had escaped the trap!

   Escape was successful!

   It doesn't seem to be particularly difficult...

   Laughed nervously, Su Wu walked out of the fork and saw a familiar and unfamiliar street.

  There are shops of various colors on both sides of the street, and the neon advertising light boxes are shining, which is still a bustling red dust.

  However, a bunch of cars in the east collided with each other in the street, and a bunch of cars in the west slanted into the green belt, black smoke billowed everywhere, and wildfires were burning everywhere, making this prosperous red dust inexplicable and absurd.

  Su Wu looked up at a barber shop across the street.

  In the glass door, a hairdresser is cutting hair for guests.

   He held scissors in one hand and held the guest's neck in the other.

   The guest had no head on his neck, and his scissors staggered in vain in mid-air.

  The barber was also bald on the neck and had no head.

  Su Wu's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, became intense again.

   His eyes rolled again and again, and in the shops as far as he could see, people were sitting, standing or lying down, but everyone had their heads missing from their necks!

  Not a single living person!

   Where have all these people's heads gone? !

   The chill froze through Su Wu's whole body!

   Before Su Wu came back to his senses, the lights in the surrounding shops, the neon signs on the street, and the flames from the cars all went out.

   Red lanterns rose from behind the tall buildings.

   The crimson light fell on Su Wu.

   His vision was infinitely high, overlooking this crimson and dead street.

   In this long crimson street, not fifty paces away from him, next to a cake shop, stood a small temple abruptly.

  The orange fire in the temple passed out, barely earning a small position in the street shrouded in red light.

  The orange light gives a very warm and safe feeling.

  Su Wu continued to overlook.

   saw his body standing stiffly at the fork, with a bare neck on his neck.

  The original unit building is even more unsafe...

   One last thought flashed through his mind.
