Chapter 21
The empty Coke bottle in Lin Xing's hand almost flew out and rolled down the steps of the sidewalk with a clatter.He bent down to pick it up and sorted it into the trash can, then couldn't wait to read the message he just received on his phone again to confirm that he didn't have hallucinations just now.
The message remained intact and displayed in the dialog box that Lin Xing had pinned to the top.
Lin Xing's mood whirled and rushed towards the sky, exploding a colorful firework in mid-air.
Lin Xing is really looking at the ratings of the haunted houses he wants to visit on review websites.The haunted house with the highest score was just in the right distance, so he sent the location to Chi Tong.
Xingxingdiancai: Are you free this weekend?
The weekend is just the day after tomorrow, so it might seem a little anxious, but Chi Tong agreed to him.Lin Xing just wanted to see him sooner.
Chi Tong: I'm free.
Lin Xing jumped down from the sidewalk and cheered for himself in the noisy food street.In my heart, I feel that Chi Tong is so easy to talk, and he must have a good impression of himself.
Lin Xing was so happy that he wanted to sing a song, so he ran around the lake behind the school library for several laps before calming down.
As a result, I went back to the dormitory and saw, wow, there is a mosquito bag on one leg.
It's the weekend, and it's common to sleep in late, but you have to get up at noon anyway.Luo Tengfei was going out to date his girlfriend. Lin Xing always stayed in the dormitory or went to the library with his roommates.When he cleaned up today, Luo Tengfei only thought he was going to the library.
"Study so hard?" Luo Tengfei said.
"Hmm." Lin Xing was vague and didn't say in detail that he wanted to go out to play.
The mosquito pack on his leg shrank quickly, but there were several red marks left behind. I don’t know when it will disappear. Lin Xing has applied a lot of ointment in the past two days, and the smell of the calf is almost soaked in the ointment. Well, it made him feel annoyed for a while.
Lin Xing ran to the subway station, feeling relaxed all the way, thinking about the topic that he could talk to Chi Tong later.After arranging and combining a bunch of things, Lin Xing was full of confidence, but when he saw Chi Tong on the first floor of the shopping mall, his mouth froze again.
Chi Tong sat on the metal bench for people to rest in the same room on the first floor of the mall. His sitting posture seemed casual, but he was still very energetic, and he didn't droop his shoulders just because he could sit leisurely.
He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt, scrupulously clean, and his drooping eyelashes seemed like a painting. He was the most perfect creation Lin Xing had ever seen.
It's just that the chair made of metal looks chilly, so it seems that Chi Tong also looks cold like no one should get close to.
Lin Xing originally arrived more than ten minutes earlier than the appointed time, and he was walking slowly, looking left and right, remembering the location and layout of the various stores in this shopping mall, and was going to wait a few minutes before contacting Chi Tong, so as not to urge the other party mean.
I didn't expect to see Chi Tong so early in the corridor on the first floor.Subconsciously, Lin Xing's legs moved faster, but after thinking about it, he felt that it should look more normal.
It's just that before Lin Xing could cover it up, Chi Tong had already looked up and saw Lin Xing when his shoes and the floor of the shopping mall were so clean that they made irregular clacking noises.
Chi Tong smiled at Lin Xing and stood up from the metal bench.
Lin Xing immediately felt that the overly indifferent appearance of Chi Tong he saw just now was indeed a temporary illusion extended by the metal bench.
"I just wanted to send you a WeChat message," Lin Xing said, and he also wanted to check the chat history of his appointment with Chi Tong, in case he made a mistake and was half an hour early, "Am I late?"
Lin Xing confirmed to Chi Tong that he was afraid that he would really make a mistake and leave a bad impression of impoliteness on the other party.
"No, I'm used to arriving early." Chi Tong said.
Chi Tong stood beside Lin Xing, half a head taller than him, and the distance between them was just right, neither far nor close.
Autumn is always late in southern cities, and it is still summer in late September. When there is a cool breeze, it will suddenly enter winter again.
For this reason, Lin Xing still feels hot in long trousers this season. His trousers are around his knees, and his lower legs are evenly exposed.If it wasn't for the eye-catching mosquito bag, it would have been Lin Xing's other beautiful position.
Lin Xing was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his hair was cut very neatly. The black hair made his skin whiter.Lin Xing also has a smooth and well-defined face, but he is not in the same category as Chi Tong.
Chi Tong is only more than a year older than Lin Xing, but his temperament is completely different, and his people are also completely different.
Especially when Chi Tong looked at him from the side, Lin Xing's chin had some soft flesh. Feeling Chi Tong looking at him, Lin Xing turned his head and smiled at him, and the unguarded youth rushed towards him.
Chi Tong also laughed, his gaze fell to Lin Xing's feet again, there was a black cat stretching beside Lin Xing's legs, and following Lin Xing's steps forward, it walked around as if drilling a hole Lin Xing goes.
It didn't say a word, and confronted Chi Tong with its dark pupils in silence.
Lin Xing was ignorant, but he did notice that Chi Tong was looking at his calf, thinking that the other party was looking at the mosquito bite marks on his leg, and rubbed his left leg against his right leg uncomfortably: "It was a mosquito bite." Lin Xing Star explained.
Chi Tong was distracted, and the black cat disappeared again.
There are many people in the shopping mall on weekends, and the elevators are even more crowded.Lin Xing and Chi Tong stood behind the crowd and waited for a while. Seeing that the elevator stopped on the second floor and did not come up for a long time, it stopped at the first floor when it finally moved.
It's better to take the escalator. After getting on the elevator, you can't let go of your speech.
The black cat jumped onto the trash can in front of the elevator during this interval, slowly wagging its tail, its morbid desire extended to this point, but it did not immediately stretch out its tentacles, but was fully prepared to witness Chi Tong dragging Lin Xing into the game, to welcome predictable ending.
"Let's go over there." Lin Xing said to Chi Tong.
Chi Tong came back to his senses: "Okay."
There are also many people on the escalator, and there are people standing on the side of the elevator after a step or two.
Lin Xing and Chi Tong stood on the same step, Lin Xing finally remembered the topic he had prepared earlier.
The black cat squatted on Lin Xing's shoulder, gently touched Lin Xing's cheek with the tip of its nose, sniffing his body.Lin Xing didn't know the picture in Chi Tong's eyes, so he excitedly opened his mouth to share with Chi Tong the experience of the players he saw.
"The scary method of the haunted house we are going to is relatively traditional. It will be very dark inside. This is a major scare point. Most ordinary people are afraid of the dark and tend to think about things," Lin Xing said, " But I'm not afraid of the dark."
"Are you afraid of the dark?" Lin Xing asked Chi Tong, collecting every piece of information about Chi Tong.
"Sometimes." Chi Tong had a hard time ignoring the cat on Lin Xing's shoulder, he knew it didn't really exist, it was just the embodiment of a certain dark side of himself, reminding Chi Tong of his problems all the time.
"I'm not afraid at any time, then you can stand behind me later." Lin Xing spoke solemnly, but his appearance and appearance did not convince him much.
Instead, the black cat on his shoulder was poking its head into Lin Xing's neck, and the blackness spread to Lin Xing's neck, dismissing Lin Xing's words.
"Sometimes NPCs will quietly follow behind the player. If there are too many players, they won't notice it for a while. This is another sudden scare point."
There are also NPCs that will lock players into certain confined spaces. This Lin Xing didn't say anything, he secretly hoped that this would happen.
What kind of cabinet or coffin, it is best to lock him and Chi Tong together, Lin Xing is happy to think about it.
There were also quite a few people in the haunted house on weekends. After getting the tickets, Lin Xing and Chi Tong formed a group with a few other young people and entered the haunted house together later.
Among the few young people, there are lovers and ordinary friends, and there are also two boys like Lin Xing and Chi Tong who came together.It's just that both of them are good-looking, which is even more eye-catching.
The lighting in the waiting area was relatively dim, and someone suggested to let a few girls walk in the middle after entering later, with boys in the front and back rows.Some girls agreed immediately, while others said no.
Lin Xing and Chi Tong were ranked behind, and they had no objections.Lin Xing wished that the NPC would be more intimidating and chase him more closely, then he would grab Chi Tong's arm and run away naturally.
Chi Tong looked into the darkness deep in the entrance. The black cat had already walked into it just now and disappeared.
In the dark, all emotions will be magnified, and fear is only the most insignificant one.The desire to sink and self-destruct is the strongest.
No matter how normal it is to cover up, Chi Tong's abnormality still reminds him of his real appearance every moment.
Lin Xing was already discussing the plot with the same group of people who entered the haunted house. They entered a room through a dark passage. Everyone was nervous but excited at this time, and they hadn't started to be afraid yet.
Lin Xing turned to look at Chi Tong after speaking a few words with others.He was indeed not afraid of the dark, and he wanted to show off in front of Chi Tong, so he paid special attention to the movements around him, and also noticed the subtle changes in Chi Tong's expression.
Chi Tong seemed to be really afraid of the dark, he kept looking at the fragile wooden door when they came in.
Lin Xing also looked over and found that the door was trembling slightly, but the sound was covered up by the scary sound effects of the BGM just now.At the same time, other people noticed this and immediately backed away, screaming one after another, and the originally stable formation was thrown into chaos.
The NPC seized the opportunity to break into the door and began to crawl inside from the ground.
In an instant, everyone in the room was almost frightened, the entrances were blocked, and people instinctively turned their heads and ran inside.
What the NPC wants is this effect. It was originally to push the player to go to the next location, so they crawled more vigorously on the ground.
Lin Xing was not very scared, he still remembered grabbing Chi Tong's hand and running inside.
What everyone said before, the front and rear formations are gone at this time. Lin Xing and Chi Tong remembered breaking the rear, but when they watched other people run into the back room and prepared to follow in, the people inside put The door was locked.
"Open the door," Lin Xing knocked on the door, "We are not ghosts!"
The inside screamed in fright, I don't know if it was too scared or someone did it on purpose, but no one came to open the door.
Lin Xing was speechless. Looking back, he saw that the NPC pretending to be a ghost was still crawling over with dedication. He had to grab Chi Tong's hand and run to the front room.
The NPC in that room was just getting ready, when he heard someone's footsteps, he immediately cheered up.
There is a cabinet in the room, and Lin Xing recognized it as a prop for players to drill into it at a glance. The NPC will drive the player in, and then look inside through the cabinet. From the gap in the cabinet, there will be horror eyeballs of the NPC wearing colored contact lenses. The sense of shock is quite high.
If you don't run into the cabinet here, you will be carried away by many NPCs.
Of course Lin Xing chose to go into the closet, even if there was no NPC to carry him, he still chose to go into the closet.
Lin Xing opened the cabinet and let Chi Tong go in first, then he went in and closed the cabinet door.Originally, this cabinet could hide four or five people, but now that Lin Xing and the others have come in first, the NPCs have to follow the procedure.
The inside of the cabinet is dark, and outside the cabinet is an NPC pretending to be a ghost. Looking out through the regular gaps in the cabinet, it creates a sense of suffocation that there is no escape and the danger is constantly approaching.
Lin Xing quietly looked out, and saw that NPC slowly approaching from the corner, and the BGM also changed in a timely manner, which indeed had a very good horror effect.
Lin Xing turned his head to look at Chi Tong. Chi Tong was also looking out through the gap in the cabinet. His pupils changed slightly, and the expression on his face was subtle, as if he was vaguely afraid.
Lin Xing was gearing up, feeling a sense of responsibility.
But Chi Tong was not looking at the NPC.
He actually looked over the NPC to the black cat-like monster that had entered the darkness and re-morphed.Its shape was weird, its movements were stiff, and it moved its head lifelessly to the front of the cabinet.
The monster's eyes stared at Chi Tong without blinking.
The darkness is the accomplice, the materialization of his raging self-destructive desire, his pathological self-proof, slowly approaching him with nowhere to escape.
A warm hand suddenly blocked Chi Tong's eyes, instantly blocking all the distorted images from his sight.
"Don't be afraid," Lin Xing's voice was almost a whisper, "The horror is all fake, he will leave immediately."
