doll city

At 11:01 p.m., Teaching Building No. [-].

When the sound of Xiao Yi's footsteps disappeared at the stairway leading to the fifth floor on the east side, Yan Ge was only a corridor away from the No. [-] plaster statue.

He walked down from the fourth floor silently, and his steps were not fast. As he planned, he went down to the third floor from the west stairs. When the plaster statue No. building.

There was no movement or screams on the fifth floor. It seemed that the situation in the art room was more complicated than they had imagined.

Time passed by, and Yan Ge still hadn't faced the No. [-] plaster statue, but he knew that it was following behind him. Occasionally, when he went down the stairs on one side, he could see the extremely dragging road. A long shadow stood silently at the other end of the corridor.

... If there really is a corresponding mechanism, shouldn't this be the only clue, or did he miss something?

Just as he was thinking this way, there was a strange noise from downstairs, followed by Xiao Yi's exclamation.

"what--"

"Huh?" Yan Ge was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the sound of Xiao Yi running down the stairs.

"How are you?!" Yan Ge had no time to go downstairs at this time. The No. [-] plaster statue was stuck in the middle of the corridor on the third floor, so he could only run and shout as loud as possible towards the corridor.

"I——no—thing—" Fortunately, Xiao Yi's voice was loud enough to be heard, but it showed that the situation was critical, "The plaster cast is over, and there is a second problem! Not much to say, this dead man is chasing me , the other one is looking for you, my day &%&*..."

second question?another?

As soon as Yan Ge digested these three words, he turned a corner and saw a tall strange figure standing under the stairs from the fourth floor to the third floor.

He finally saw clearly what happened to the person captured by the living puppet—that was Sun Ye, to be exact, he no longer belonged to him from the shoulders up, but was covered by a plaster statue with red eyes, his limbs were stiff It was like a newborn amphibian, but judging from the stair railing that made no sound just being grabbed by him, it was obvious that his "power" was also taken away by the living puppet.

The moment they looked at each other, the plaster statue's supposedly frowning brows loosened in the blink of an eye, transforming into a greedy smiling face that looked disgusting.

Yan Ge froze for only a second, then immediately turned around, picked up the fire ax and smashed through the lock pin of the classroom behind him, broke in directly, blocked the big teaching desk on the podium at the door, and then moved other desks and chairs Made a triangular structure at the fastest speed.

Just 20 seconds later, there was a loud slamming sound from outside the door, accompanied by Sun Ye's roar that no longer belonged to humans, and he slammed on the door with punches and punches.

Yan Ge stood behind the door, watching the iron and aluminum door panels being smashed into deep dents, which should have been a terrifying scene, but felt his heart loosen suddenly after feeling the power of the living puppet.

He lowered his head and glanced at the small mirrors on the pencil cases scattered on the ground. At this moment, his right eye also changed a little—the depth of the pupil was no longer black, and the deep dark light that gradually emerged made the right eye look like it was lit by candlelight at midnight. The green emerald is average.

This is what Xiao Yi and Dong Li refer to as "skills", and his and Sun Ye's strengths are actually the same... Even in the initial fight, Yan Gena has been honed for a long time to adapt to high-intensity drama The body is better than a little hooligan like Sun Ye.

Sun Ye was knocking on the door, and the No. [-] plaster statue was not far behind him. He could fight Sun Ye, but what to do with the plaster statue?

While thinking, suddenly a fire flickered far outside the window of the teaching building, and a small piece of the night sky was scorched red, and then a huge rumbling explosion came from outside the window.

earthquake?

Yan Ge raised his neck and took a look, only to see obliquely opposite the playground outside the window, the No. [-] old school building where he used to study when he was a child suddenly caught fire. On the old facade, the tongue of fire was burning all the way along the withered creeper vines. The sound of sand cracking echoed throughout the No. [-] Middle School.

— "He's dead."

The guy with the violin on his back instantly appeared in Yan Ge's mind. When they left, he went to the back school building alone. Now it seems that what Dong Li said is right, this guy is probably gone.

The No. [-] teaching building was ablaze, illuminating the textbook shelf next to Yan Ge through the windows.

Yan Ge didn't pay attention at first, but with the light of the fire outside the window, his eyes glanced at the words "Plaster Statue and Basic Sketch" written on the spine of one of the books, his eyes lit up, and he took it out and eagerly flipped through it...

In less than half a minute, the lights in the teaching building flickered again, and then the lights in the corridor went out for three seconds with the sound of electric current, and then came back on again. The sudden change of light caused Yan Ge to instinctively close his eyes for a moment, but After closing his eyes, he couldn't open them again.

The sound of Sun Ye banging on the door behind him faded away when the darkness came. In the dry and moldy air, Yan Ge heard an old song——

"Prince Ling invited us to the princess's wedding,

The wise messenger with his invitation,

Foolish sacrificial meat brings a good meal.

Please answer what is my name,

This will determine whether you are the messenger, or my dinner. "

……

No. [-] teaching building, power distribution room on the second floor.

There is a pair of rubber pliers in front of the humming power supply box. There are not many supplies in the room, two boxes of instant noodles, and a few famous cigarettes that are willing to grit their teeth and scatter them only when entertaining guests in the real world. Disassembled and scattered on the table.

Through a thick security door, Dong Li listened to the movement outside, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the brand new gold watch on his wrist.

At 11:15, the two idiots of Sun Ye died first. The little policeman named Yan Ge was good at skills, but he suffered because he was a newcomer.As for the stunned young man outside who ran to the rear school building, he must have disappeared after seeing the movement in Building No. [-].

"It's a young man after all..." Dong Li spread out a notebook with a tourist map of Ciling City on it. He extinguished the half-smoked cigarette butt in his hand, flicked the pen, and stood next to the No. [-] Middle School. I wrote the word "正" again.

Right now, there is only one woman left alive outside. The last two times when I came to this hunting ground, I was unlucky, and all I met were ordinary people.This time, Sun Ye Xiaogang has skills. After he completes this order, he can go to the "gang" in the city to become the leader of the "gang" with two skills.

This is how society is, people exploit each other, the means are not important, people with more skills and more resources will live better.The only difference is that in the real world, he is the one who is being exploited, but now he is the one who is exploiting others.

He put the notebook in his pocket, frowned when his fingers touched a note that shouldn't exist in his pocket, took the note out, and read slowly: "...Taddeuf."

The note seemed to be torn from an old book collection. The last time he came here, he also received a note. This is everyone's life-saving talisman, and it is also a curse for him to keep reincarnating in this No. [-] Middle School.

He has killed people here, and if he doesn't solve the mystery of No. [-] Middle School, he will still receive the same invitation next week, and he will never be able to leave this area.

Only by calculating, like those in the gang, gaining skills to become stronger, using strength to overcome cleverness, can we break free from this curse and survive in this puppet city.

Xiao Yi's exclamation came very close, Dong Li casually put the note into his pocket, took out an iron braze from his bag, and came to the stairs on the second floor.

From the bottom of the first floor, Xiao Yi's scolding came from far and near——

"Get out! Chasing, chasing, chasing, Nima! Go back to your ancestral grave!"

Five minutes ago, Xiao Yi was still in the art room on the top floor, and everything went well according to Yan Ge's arrangement.I don’t know if it’s because Sun Ye was caught by the plaster statue. When she entered the art room, she happened to meet the plaster statue that locked her. As if asking yourself a question——

"...Please tell me what my name is,

This will determine whether you are the messenger, or my dinner. "

As a student of art, Xiao Yi has not forgotten how much theoretical knowledge she has. Xiao Yi recognized it as Seneca on the spot. She thought that she would pass the test like this, but she did not expect that the plaster statue would then ask a second question——

"A clever messenger should be multi-talented. Mr. Poclain asked me to entrust him. What's your name?"

This time Xiao Yi got stuck, took out her second-generation ID card, but the plaster statue still didn't respond, and when she opened her eyes after a while, she was sent to the first floor as if she had been teleported.

On the first floor, a plaster man whose head had been hammered to pieces jumped straight at her.

This time, Xiao Yi's full of fear instantly turned into fury. She ran and scolded, and accidentally tripped when she rushed up to the second floor. At the same time, the stick on her head was swept away by the wind, and it wiped her scalp and hit her behind, chasing after her. plaster man.

"Crack!" The plaster man was hit head-on. He had been severely injured by Sun Ye before, but he fell downstairs and stopped moving at all.

Xiao Yi felt as if she had been kissed by the god of death just now, and looked vigilantly at the sneak attacking figure standing in the shadow on the second floor.

After Dong Li froze for a second, he quickly adjusted his expression, turned on the corridor light and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yi: "It was so dangerous just now, I saw the situation on the street, and the point in the building was out of order, so I will go to make up for it." The electric room was repaired for a while, but I didn't expect you to become like this."

"..." The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, she patted the ashes on her hands, she stood up against the wall bricks, sweat broke out on her back, she gritted her teeth, and said, "This is not the first time you have come to this hunting ground. "

It's all gone to this point, and there's no need to pretend anymore.

At this time, there was the sound of heavy objects hitting upstairs, and then it quickly returned to silence.

Dong Li glanced upstairs, as if he was sure that Yan Ge would die, so he showed a strange smile.Xiao Yi originally thought that he was going to take something like a blade, but unexpectedly, he took out a small bottle of liquid from his backpack, shook it and said: "Some people say that anyone who survives the first night in this ghost place is not stupid. The words are true. Yes, yes, this hunting ground is very special, every week there will be a Mr. Poclan waiting to receive invitations, but... this is a scam."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yi asked cautiously.

"Talk while you walk."

Dong Li sprayed a little of the liquid in the vial on the wall, and black marks instantly corroded where it was sprayed.

"Don't be afraid, this is used to deal with plaster statues, live puppets, they will not move when they are blinded by spraying. Of course, I don't want to use it against you, unless you don't cooperate." Dong Lippi smiled without a smile Said.

concentrated sulfuric acid.

Xiao Yi finally knew why Dong Ligu was wearing a pair of inconvenient rubber gloves. She hugged her clothes tightly, followed the other party's request, and walked in front of him with a gloomy face.

"You know the rules here." Hearing Dong Li sneer behind him, as if he didn't want to say more, Xiao Yi continued: "If you said it earlier, all of us could survive."

"You think I haven't tried it?" Dong Li involuntarily touched the hole in his ear, his expression slightly hideous for a moment, "This is a scam! Everyone will be hunted down by a plaster statue in the order they entered the building. We thought that one of the dolls chasing us would always be Mr. Pokland, but none of them are, and even if you die, the last one left in the art room will not be him!"

Xiao Yihan said with a straight face, trying to keep calm: "Then how you survived, I don't know much, but I also know that almost no one can survive the 'parade' at 12 o'clock at night."

"This is where you think too far. I don't want to leave this hunting ground. The rule here is—even if you don't find Mr. Pokland, as long as you ensure that you are the last person to enter the building, the one in front of you will die." Before, it would never be your turn to be hunted down."

The other party had sulfuric acid in his hand, and Xiao Yi's steps became heavy. She passed the first test of a living puppet, but she didn't know what she would see when she went up to the fifth floor again.

When passing by the fourth floor, Xiao Yi took a special look at the place where Yan Ge was last. At this time, the corridor was empty, and the door of the innermost classroom was wide open, with a human leg lying across the door.

Yan Ge may be dead.

Xiao Yi covered her mouth and forcibly suppressed the terrified sobs.

"It's not good luck." Dong Li poked Xiao Yi's back with an iron rod, and looked down at the gold watch in his hand, "After being chased and killed by a plaster statue, you will be slowly controlled by a living puppet within 5 minutes." Live in your body, you still have more than one life, it’s troublesome to death, go away.”

Xiao Yi didn't speak, but bit her finger. When she was about to reach the fifth floor, her footsteps suddenly slowed down, and she said, "I still have a question."

Dong Li was sure that Yan Ge was dead at this time, but he was not sure if Sun Ye still had the strength to chase after him. He glanced behind him and said impatiently, "Hurry up."

Xiao Yi walked up to the fifth floor, faced Dong Li, and stepped back step by step: "If they were hunted down one by one, why did Sun Ye and the others come together at the same time? Then Yan Ge followed? Obviously two people at the same time Those who are being targeted, according to this rule, while I am being chased by the living puppet, the last living puppet should have set off to chase you by now."

Dong Li squinted his eyes and said: "Death is dead, so many questions...Huh? Where is the puppet chasing you?"

As soon as the words fell, Dong Li's eyes suddenly blurred, and a black figure suddenly rushed out from behind the door on the fifth floor, clamped his neck, twisted and beat him with a set of joint skills, and forced this 1.8-meter tall man to death. Dead on the ground.

"Aren't you—" Dong Li saw Yan Ge's stern face when he was pressed heavily on the ground by the firelight of building No. 3 outside the window.

"Let me make a bold guess. The living puppets do come out one by one, but there is a trick - when all the people in this building close their eyes at the same time, one more living puppets will be activated, and this opportunity is You who control the power supply of the entire building in the power distribution room!"
