"How's everyone doing? Is everyone okay?"
At this time, Han Xing's voice came over. Everyone looked up and saw countless tentacles spreading from the wings behind Han Xing, wrapping the entire square and slowly devouring the corpses of the monsters in the field.
The Wuwu in his hand regained its human form.
Sanyueqi discovered that the golden light in Wuwu's white eyes was more intense than before.
"Woowoo, come here!" March 7th held Wuwu in front of him.
Wuwu looked at her with big eyes without blinking.
Han Xing said, "Don't worry, Wuwu is fine. Wuwu devoured most of the monsters we just dealt with, and I only devoured a few. After all, the low-level creatures were directly melted under the influence of the 'Fire'."
"Woo, is this going to be okay?"
"That shouldn't be the case. To use Dr. Mobius's words, she devoured others, not others devoured her."
Sanyueqi pinched Wuwu's little face and said, "Wuwu, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Wuwu shook his head and hugged him.
Seeing this, San Yue Qi smiled helplessly and gently stroked Wuwu's round little head.
The system beeps.
[Successfully devoured "Briven Creation" × 356]
[Energy remaining 60%]
The wings behind Han Xing gradually disappeared, and the golden light in her eyes returned to calm. She had devoured many more monsters than she had expected.
Xier frowned and said, "Before, there were some desperate wanderers or miners who entered Rivet Town in search of resources. But if this place was so dangerous from the beginning, there would be no way those people would have come back alive."
"So... this place must have become like this recently, with the hordes of monsters in Rivet Town and the rift invasion of the big mine..." Bronya continued.
Han Xing walked into the square and began to search around: "Don't think too much. Let's look around first to see if there are any supplies we need."
"Han Xing, look why this place is empty!" March Seven's angry voice sounded from the side.
Only then did Han Xing remember that all the supplies had been taken away by a little ghost.
but......
With so many monsters around, nothing will happen to this child, right?
The golden light spread out, and Han Xing began to scan the surrounding space.
"Look, there are traces of trampling on the ground here."
As Bronya spoke, Han Xing also locked onto a small figure around her.
The little boy was huddled among the debris at the street corner, shivering.
"...Eric???" Xier asked in surprise.
She reached out and grabbed Eric's ear.
"Hey! Kid! Why did you come here alone? Do you want to die? Do you know how dangerous it is here?"
"Xi...er? I...I."
Eric looked so frightened that his speech was incoherent.
Xier looked at the waste center behind Eric, where several large bundles of steel pipes were piled.
"You hid all the supplies here? That's pretty capable."
"That'smine!"
"You stole it! It's the same as the clothes you're wearing."
“…” Eric was silent.
"How were you going to get your stuff out if Han Xing hadn't wiped out those monsters?"
"I..." No matter how tough he tried to be, he was still frightened from the bottom of his heart when he thought of the piles of monsters.
"Honestly, what's the use of the steel plate and gauze? We need them to save people."
"...Two hundred..." Eric lowered his head, but still spoke stubbornly.
"what?"
"Two hundred Winter City shields... I need money, Dad—"
"You're using your father as a shield again. If your father knew you kept doing this, you'd be in big trouble."
Hearing this, Eric began to sob softly, but he still stood in front of the pile of supplies without moving.
"Xi'er! That's enough, stop talking."
"Eric, right? This is for you, take it. This medal was awarded to me by the City Builder. Do you see the blue stone in the middle? It's the purest Earth Crystal."
"You need the money for family reasons, right? Take it. Any buyer with even the slightest bit of knowledge will be able to tell its value with just one strike."
"...Thank...thank you, sister! I..." Eric thanked her in tears.
"But you have to promise me one thing - you will never steal from others again. Can you do that?"
"I, I get it! I will never steal anything again!"
......
Han Xing watched Seele and Bronya talking to each other after they had dealt with Eric, but did not go over to disturb them.
She called Eric over and asked:
"Why are you so scared? Did you...see something?"
Eric was holding the medal. When he heard these words, his excitement and emotion faded and his face became filled with fear.
He nodded hurriedly and said to Han Xing:
"Big...Big Onee-sama, there weren't actually that many monsters when I came here, but...but...ahem—"
"Don't be impatient, take your time." Han Xing took out the water he had brought from the hotel from the "space" and handed it to Eric.
"—Ahem." Eric choked again, then slowly recovered. He continued, "I had just moved my things here when a white figure suddenly appeared in the center of the square. The moment it appeared, I felt many unfamiliar voices whispering in my ears."
"Then, monsters gathered in front of us. There were more and more of them. In the end, they occupied the entire square. I didn't dare to go out at all."
Han Xing frowned and asked, "Voice? Can you understand what they are saying?"
Eric shook his head. "I felt like my head was going to explode. I was so scared, and they were talking so much gibberish that I couldn't make out what they were saying."
Han Xing nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, come with us. It's too dangerous here, and I'm worried about you going back alone."
"Indeed." Bronya's voice sounded in her ears.
"Let's take him to the orphanage."
Eric suddenly shouted after hearing this:
"No! I don't want to go anywhere. The direction that white shadow went when you were fighting the monster was the orphanage."
Xier came over and covered Eric's mouth. "Why are you shouting? Aren't you afraid of attracting more monsters? We need to go to the orphanage to find supplies. The wounded in the clinic are still waiting for help!"
Han Xing: "It seems that the white shadow that March photographed at that time is very likely the one in the square. We must be careful."
Everyone nodded in unison.
The entrance to the orphanage.
At night, colorful lights illuminate the entire staircase area, like a dreamy rainbow surrounding it. The walls are densely covered with many cartoons drawn by children, the pictures are colorful, vivid and interesting.
The slide and swing in front of the building are already quite old and covered with layers of dust, but you can still feel the laughter and joy they once brought. The handrails of the slide are a little rusty, and the ropes of the swings are a little worn, but they still stand there firmly, as if waiting for the next child to come.
"There aren't even any monsters here..." Bronya looked around. "And the scenery around here always feels familiar to me..."
"Oh... never mind. Business is more important. Let's go see if there's any alcohol that Dr. Natasha needs."
Everyone started looking.
Han Xing stood there, her eyes fixed on the orphanage in front of her.
Under the dim and soft lighting, this scenery clearly gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.
But Han Xing always felt a chill on his back.
The scene before her was similar to the one in the game, but she always felt something was wrong...
The pupils suddenly shrank.
At this moment, all the lights in the orphanage, which had been off, suddenly turned on.
Han Xing instantly remembered what was wrong.
The lights in the orphanage are always on in the game!!!
On the second floor of the orphanage, next to the window, a white shadow was moving slowly, staring coldly at the people downstairs.
The figure was wearing a robe, the color and texture of the robe were very strange. The robe was pure white, but the texture was very thin, as if it was made of a strange material.
Its posture is very graceful, as light and elegant as a dancer, but when this graceful posture is matched with the cracked corners of its mouth, the elegance makes the scene even more weird and eerie.
Suddenly, the white figure turned around and walked towards the orphanage. Its posture was elegant and light, but there was a madness in its eyes.
Han Xing's arm was tightly grasped by San Yue Qi, and he felt the other's body trembling slightly.
Han Xing embraced March Seventh in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Nothing can hurt you."
"Han Xing!" Bronya and Seele ran back.
"Did you see that figure?"
Han Xing nodded, and the sound beside him turned into a long sword to chop up the debris at the stairs.
"Let's go in and see what's going on inside."
Pushing open the door, you will see the lobby of the orphanage.
The walls had lost their original color and were covered with a thick layer of dust and cobwebs.
Han Xing took a step forward, and the worn floor made a creaking sound, as if reminding him that no one had walked here for a long time.
In the center of the hall, a shabby long table stood quietly, piled with various debris and dust, making it very messy. On both sides of the row of broken benches, the leather surface had been torn, revealing the cotton inside.
Behind the long table was a huge wall covered with some tattered paintings and photos, but they were now blurred and the specific content could not be identified.
There is an old chandelier hanging on the ceiling. Although the bulb on the chandelier is old, it still emits a faint light.
The corners of the walls and the ground were filled with some old furniture and miscellaneous items. Some broken vases, old books, and worn-out sofas gave off a stale and decayed smell.
Desolation and gloom almost occupied this originally warm orphanage.
A group of people carefully walked through the gate of the abandoned orphanage and stepped into the silent hall. They carefully walked around the broken long table and chairs, avoided the old furniture scattered on the ground, and walked forward step by step.
Han Xing did not choose to go directly to the second floor, but started checking from the first floor bit by bit. No one knew where the figure went after disappearing.
"Everyone, please don't separate. Tell me if you find anything." Han Xing whispered to everyone.
After all, the first people to die in horror movies are those who like to act alone.
Suddenly, Han Xing stopped and signaled everyone else to stop as well. She heard some strange noises, as if something was crawling on the wall.
Han Xing's heartbeat quickened, and a faint flame whirred from his hand. With "Godspeed," he swung his blade in the direction of the sound.
- Om!
There was a flash of fire, and the blade made a buzzing sound as it cut through the air, but it didn't cut anything.
Han Xing frowned. At that moment, although it was blurry, she did catch a glimpse of white.
Is that the white shadow?
Han Xing led everyone to continue forward, through a wide corridor, and they came to a dark and damp room.
At this moment, the lights in the orphanage suddenly went out, and Han Xing hurriedly took out her phone and turned on the flashlight. However, the flashlight could only illuminate a small part of the orphanage. She then walked around a door and arrived at a spacious and bright room.
The walls of the room were covered with old paintings and photos. In the center of the room, there was a huge round table with some medical supplies and a few pages of old-looking papers on it.
Han Xing walked forward slowly and wanted to pick it up to check.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind around, and Han Xing hurriedly raised the whirlwind in his hand to block it at his side.
--clang!
