Chapter 35 Quasi-Corner Space

"Corner-like space"

1. The disguise lasts for a certain number of years.

2. Can perfectly realize "fear embodiment".

3. Most of the requirements given by Whisper in the Corner have been completed.

If the above three points are achieved, this anomaly will be basically complete, or [mature].

The "mind corner" that exists between their pituitary glands will also manifest in physical form,

The surface of the pituitary will show 'corner cracks', which will not only affect their own physical bodies, but also affect a small range of reality areas, constructing their own unique corner-like space.

The space has the following features:

1. "Difficult to form": It takes time to form a corner-like space on your own.

Individuals need to be very familiar with the area and have lived there for a certain period of time in order to project their thoughts into the environment, gradually influencing and changing the form of the space.

2. "Not a real corner": The anomaly itself still belongs to the category of pseudo-humans, not the real residents of the corner, and is not qualified to go to the corner.

They were still afraid of the real corner. In their current state, if they fell into it, they would not be able to survive.

Therefore, the real "Corner Law" is still followed in the corner-like space, and generally there is no "physical corner".

3. "Extensibility": It affects "reality" to a certain extent, and the space is stretched to a certain extent, exceeding the original spatial area.

But it may not be a real extension of space, but an influence on the thinking of intruders.

4. "Nest": In this environment created by himself, the pseudo-human will become more comfortable and more difficult to deal with, and can show a more complete embodiment of fear.

5. "Disguise": The corner-like space has the same camouflage as the pseudo-person and can be [turned on and off].

When closed, it is almost the same as usual.

Once turned on, all internal behaviors in corner-like spaces will be "silenced", and the noise transmitted to the outside will be extremely small, beyond human perception. Only professional detection equipment can detect subtle fluctuations in the house at close range.

6. "Complete blockade":
Once trapped in it, it will be difficult to escape unless the pseudo-person who created this space takes the initiative to let you out.

In order to escape, one needs to severely damage the pseudo-man's body and attack his "corner of thinking", making the entire corner-like space unstable.

Of course, if the fake person is killed, the space will naturally be released.

……

The squad leader quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.
"From the beginning, this woman had already prepared a backup plan. If the ambush and kill operation failed, she would use the form of pursuit to force us into a corner space on the [third floor].

It is absolutely impossible to climb down the stairs, as he will definitely be caught up by the woman who is good at climbing walls.

Therefore, our only escape route is the stairs, and we will definitely pass through here and fall into the trap she set.

In this case, [entering the house] is the only way, Rody, come quickly."

The squad leader was as cheerful as ever. Even though he was well aware of his current situation, he still maintained a normal attitude and stood at the corner of the stairs waving his hands quickly.

When Rody followed, the squad leader pointed at the ceiling light in the corridor.

"We need to take this thing down and use it as a light source. I'm not like Anna, so it might be hard for me to carry you~ or let me stand on your shoulders."

"Ah."

The squad leader didn't even have time to put on his shoes when he went downstairs. He just brushed off the dust on his feet and stepped straight up.

very light,

Luo Di easily supported the squad leader and successfully removed the "light bulb" inside the lampshade.

Due to the importance of light sources, all public areas use rechargeable lamps. Once the light source in hand is damaged, or you encounter a dangerous situation like the current one, you can always use public lamps.

The squad leader held a small handheld incandescent lamp, which had enough electricity to support 24 hours of lighting. The lamp tube had also been hardened, so it would not break in a collision.

The squad leader jumped and landed steadily on the stairs.

Rody looked at the squad leader in front of him who was wearing his clothes but no shoes, and said, "Shoes and weapons, these two things are indispensable when exploring, right? Once the soles of your feet step on something and get injured, your movements will be greatly restricted."

The squad leader was also helpless, "What can we do? Who knows that someone will break into your house in the middle of the night, and the community is under lockdown.

I can only check if there are suitable shoes when I enter the house later, and then go to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife.

By the way, is it possible for us to stay in the stairwell and wait until tomorrow morning without going into the house?"

"no way."

Rody pointed to the upper stairs within his sight. There was already a layer of light black hair on them, which was slowly spreading downwards.

The monitor's expression immediately became dejected, "Blame me, blame me~ If I hadn't come to see you today, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."

"Just survive."

"it is good."

The two turned their attention to the third floor, the only possible way out.
The mottled yellow wooden door exudes the atmosphere of age, and there is a "Fu" character pasted on it that is neither upright nor upside down. The couplets that should have been on both sides have been torn off, leaving a small amount of uncomfortable red.

The two were about to approach.

Ga~
The wooden door actually opened outwards automatically, and the width of the gap revealed was exactly the same as the width of the door opened when the squad leader knocked this morning. It felt like an eye would stare out from the gap at any time.

Rody has already unlocked the "Corner Item".

The storage shroud was used to wrap around the handle and his palm to prevent it from slipping out of his hand during combat.

Moreover, the shroud has been wrapping the knife for the past six months, and it has been contaminated with some of the zombie's negative energy. This entanglement can further enhance Roddy's connection with the knife.

Rody held the knife close to the wooden door and looked inside through the gap.

I could only get a rough glimpse of the red lights and old furnishings inside, but there were no eyes poking out as expected.

crunch~
Using the blade as support, he opened the wooden door completely.

A big red lantern is hanging at the entrance, and the red light is diffuse, reflecting the general situation inside the house. It is an old Chinese style of decoration.

At the entrance stood a shoe cabinet with a large area of ​​peeling skin and full of repair nails.

The room was covered with red and white square tiles. There was a little dust on them. Some of the tiles were cracked, and even small spiders were crawling out of them.

The white wall paint has mostly peeled off, and a lot of spider webs are outlined on the ceiling.

The squad leader followed him into the gloomy room and carefully opened the shoe cabinet that had been sealed for a long time. There were only two pairs of shoes in the cabinet which had a large space.

A pair of embroidered shoes for women and a pair of cloth shoes for men, and the sizes are exactly right for both of them.

The slippers that Roddy wore on his feet were casual shoes that could be used for outdoor activities. They fit the soles of the feet well and did not need to be changed.

But the squad leader really needs a pair of shoes.

"Wait~"

Roddy picked up the embroidered shoes inside and gently cut them with the machete covered with zombie skin. The surface of the shoes was not corroded by the zombie poison and the pituitary gland inside the blade did not react at all, indicating that the shoes were normal.

"no problem."

"Thank you."

When the squad leader put on the embroidered shoes that fit his feet, a cold laugh came from the depths of the room, as if the woman was waiting inside.
