Chapter 373 Rock Paper Scissors

【《Friends Fireworks! 》

A middle-aged man in California ran out of his home late at night and went all the way to his friend's house. He poured fireworks and gasoline in his friend's bedroom, ignited the gasoline, and set his friend's house on fire, causing his friend to be burned to death.

The following is an interview with the man.

Reporter: “Why did you do that?”

Man: "I don't know! Haha, I was dreaming that I was escaping from an evil laboratory. I was planning to pile up explosives to blow open the door of the laboratory and escape."

Reporter: "So you were sleepwalking? How could you run from your house to here so accurately, and then climb over the wall to sneak into his house without making any noise? Were you really asleep?"

Man: "Of course! The lab is full of monsters, and I can't make any noise. I forgot the route, but I remember this location is a half-destroyed gate."

The man replied, pointing to the low wall of his friend's house.

Reporter: "You can't tell anything is wrong in your dream? There must be a difference between reality and the environment in your dream, right?"

The man laughed and said, "No, I didn't feel anything. It was just like a normal dream. I didn't even think I was dreaming when I was dreaming!"

Reporter: "Oh my God, this is incredible!"

There is still a photo attached below. The reporter faces the camera with a look of surprise, while the middle-aged man being interviewed next to him scratches his head, smiling, and is very shy.

In the background behind them, a burning figure is running wildly.

There were other similar news in the newspapers.

Hair that keeps growing, pustules that can never be squeezed out, nails that grow everywhere, senses that are misplaced...each one is bizarre, absurd and grotesque.

After reading it through, Xia Shou folded the newspaper, stuffed it into his pocket, and continued on his way.

"Want to play rock-paper-scissors with me?"

A childish voice came from behind. Xia Shou turned around and saw a little boy with a schoolbag on his back and a pair of blood-stained scissors in his hands. The boy looked exactly like the one he saw in the newspaper.

Xia Shou didn't answer, but walked directly to the nearest door and swiped the card.

"Beep! Recognition failed, please try again!"

Xia Shou swiped again.

"Beep! Recognition failed, please try again!"

Still failed.

"Play rock-paper-scissors with me."

Xia Shou ignored the other party and quickly walked to another room next door to swipe the card, but the card still could not be recognized.

"Lord Xia Shou, I'm afraid it's because of this person." Alice reminded.

"I don't want to play." Xia Shou refused seriously.

The boy pursed his lips and continued to plead depressedly: "Please, play with me."

Xia Shou ran in the corridor, trying to get rid of the other person. He was very fast and soon left the boy behind without a trace. However, he tried to swipe the door with the room card, but it still could not be recognized.

"Play with me." The voice behind him suddenly sounded, and I don't know when the boy followed him.

The REC logo was always there, and the name of the movie was "New Ghost Story Hotel". Xia Shou knew that he couldn't avoid this kind of thing.

Xia Shou squatted down in front of the boy: "How do you play?"

The boy smiled and said, "It's rock-paper-scissors. The winner can cut off one of the loser's fingers."

"I want your fingers to be useless, can we change the bet?"

"No, let's bet on this!" said the boy stubbornly.

Xia Shou tried to use the scorpion spine to increase his abnormality level, and then used [Text Description] to read the other party's information. The content he saw was: [Nature speculation: A product of a supernatural phenomenon, a rule, is granted special permissions within the field. The target it locks on cannot interact with any equipment in the hotel.

It can't get away, and somehow quickly catches up with its target, repeatedly asking to play rock-paper-scissors.

Xia Shou sighed. His special ability could not make absolutely accurate judgments about unfamiliar things unless he ate the black shadow.

But it seems that he really can't get rid of the other party, and the director doesn't seem to want him to get rid of him either.

So, this time we have to break through from the perspective of movie-watching experience!

"How many games?"

"what ever."

"Then let's play a game first."

"Great, let's do it... Rock-Paper-Scissors!"

Xia Shou played the stone at the last moment, and the opponent played cloth!

He had clearly used the Scorpion Spine to greatly improve his reaction speed, but during the game just now, he did not notice any changes in the opponent's posture when he attacked. It was as if the opponent's posture changed instantly after he threw out his fist!

"Haha, you lose!" The boy happily spread his palm to Xia Shou, "Give me your hand!"

Xia Shou frowned and looked hesitant.

"If you run away and I catch you, I will cut off two of your fingers~" The boy seemed to see through Xia Shou's thoughts and kindly reminded him.

Xia Shou immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping. He wouldn't be able to enter any guest room even if he escaped until the game was over. The limitation of not being able to enter a guest room was too great. Whether he wanted to find someone or escape, he would be restricted, just like dancing in shackles.

Xia Shou slowly stretched out his hand, placed it on the other person's palm, and smiled reluctantly: "Can you...cut your little finger?"

"Of course, but you have to continue playing with me." The boy held a pair of scissors and placed the blade against Xia Shou's palm.

If I refused, he would probably just cut off my thumb, the most important of the five fingers.

Xia Shou glanced at the other person's hands. The boy only had the thumb and index finger left on his left hand, and his right hand had lost a little finger, leaving a total of six fingers left!
Xia Shou remembered the newspaper he had just picked up.

"Can you please let me think about it, just for a minute?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, but you have to decide quickly."

"Yeah, soon."

Xia Shou took the newspaper out of his pocket, unfolded it, and read it again.

That's right!

The boy in the newspaper only lost one finger when he defeated the man with the scissor hand.

And now, the boy only has six fingers left, which means he lost three more times after that!

So he will lose.

What if he loses and only has two fingers left, unable to make a move? Will he give the scissors in his hand to the winner, like the scissor-hand man in the news?
If I get the scissors, will I get the same abilities as him?
"Let's keep playing." Xia Shou made a decision.

"Then I'll cut your little finger." The boy placed the scissors on Xia Shou's little finger and cut it hard.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!" Xia Shou screamed uncontrollably.

Something is wrong, this pain is wrong!
This feeling of being in so much pain that one could not think independently was something he had only experienced in the sanatorium. After he acquired the abilities of the blood demon, his body's tolerance for pain became very high.

Later, although the blood demon's abilities were absorbed by his second self, the implantation of the scorpion spine allowed him to reach a new peak in his control over his body. The excessive secretion of adrenaline when he was injured was enough to overwhelm the pain.

But now, he felt the purest and most primitive pain when he first had no supernatural powers!
"It will be quick, just bear with me." The boy smiled and pressed the handle of the scissors harder.

With a click, a severed finger fell to the ground.
