Chapter 233 Mom

Qiu Ran looked around and saw a black figure standing at the end of the corridor on the right. He stood there upright and silent. His face was unclear in the darkness, but he could vaguely see a yellow bell on his waist. Jingle bells.

Every sound is like a giant hammer hitting the heart hard, making it difficult to breathe.

Why do I see the man from my childhood here? Is it a coincidence? Old Thief Qin happened to create an identical evil spirit?

impossible! No matter how coincidental it was, it couldn't be such a coincidence. The clothes with bells and even the holes on them were exactly the same as what I just recalled. This couldn't be a coincidence!

Qiu Ran immediately rejected her inner thoughts, and another more terrifying thought emerged, that is, there were recent rumors on the Internet that there was a real evil spirit in Old Thief Qin's studio. She pressed the elevator button desperately, and her breathing was unconscious. Her heart became heavy and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at the figure. However, the sound of bells getting closer and closer in her ears made her unable to maintain inner peace.

The elevator that had been speeding up seemed to be extremely slow, and she could already smell a stench. It was a stink of sweat from not taking a shower for a long time in the summer.

Just when she couldn't help but want to run away, the elevator finally arrived. The light emanating from inside made her feel like she was seeing heaven. She rushed in without looking back and waited nervously for the elevator door to close.

Fortunately, the figure did not break in until the door closed. The silent elevator made Qiu Ran calm down a little. Then she remembered why she ran into the elevator? Wouldn't it be safer to just run out to the community? In the confined space of the elevator, she had nowhere to run if something happened.

It's all because she was too scared just now. She didn't have time to think. She had the impression that 9999 is her home here. Once people encounter something, they will always run home instinctively, because home is the safest place.

Ding!

When the elevator arrived, Qiu Ran didn't dare to stay any longer, but as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was completely confused. It wasn't that she saw something terrifying, or that she couldn't find the way.

The house number 9999 was hung on the room in front of her, but the problem was that the outside of this room looked exactly like her old childhood home. The memories of her old home kept popping up in her mind, and she was a little hesitant to open it. The door was closed, but at this moment, the sound of jingling bells continued to come from my ears.

Ethereal and traceless, it just echoed in the empty corridor. Fear was like a big invisible hand that suddenly squeezed her internal organs, making her want to gag, and tears were already rolling in her eyes. .

What did you think when you saw that man licking milk on the ground? It seemed that he was so frightened that he cried loudly, and then his mother heard the sound and rushed over, took him home, and then made himself a table of delicious food.

But where is the mother here? She actually wants to call her mom now.

Squeak, the door in front of me opened, and the warm yellow light came out, illuminating the darkness.

A woman in an apron smiled kindly and was standing behind the door, waving, and said with a smile: "Why are you crying again? Go home and eat quickly."

"Mom!?" Qiu Ran blurted out instinctively, and before she could react, the woman grabbed her wrist and took her into the room. She instantly felt a chill. How could the woman in front of her be her mother?

She wanted to break free, but this woman's hands were locked tightly around her wrists like iron pliers. Everything in the room was exactly the same as the old and warm home in her memory. The old-fashioned TV was missing a hole and she couldn't bear to throw it away. A vase and a yellowed family photo hung on the wall.

The dining table in the living room was filled with steaming meals, all of which were her favorite foods. Qiu Ran couldn't help but wonder whether she was in a game or whether she was reborn back to that era.

"Come, you eat first." After the woman said that, she walked back to the kitchen and was busy. The lights were not turned on, and the darkness seemed to come alive and enveloped her.

Qiu Ran looked at the table full of food but couldn't bring up his appetite. He didn't know if he should leave. The idea that there was a real evil spirit in his mind was getting stronger and stronger, and he might really die!

So he couldn't help but said: "I want to quit the game!"

[You choose the challenge mode. If you exit the game now, it will be deemed as death. You will be punished. The punishment is to randomly select a part of your privacy to be engraved on the epitaph. 】

...

Qiu Ran's eyes widened instantly. How could she forget this punishment measure? The only game that Old Thief Qin had come across before was "Gods", but there was no such punishment in it.

When she thought about her things being engraved on tombstones for people to see, it seemed that real death would be a relief for her.

"Aren't you going to eat yet?" The woman in the kitchen turned her head and stared at her, her wild animal-like eyes making him shiver all over.

"I...I'm not hungry yet." Qiu Ran couldn't stand being stared at, so he pretended to be calm and walked into the room. He vaguely remembered hiding in the closet as mentioned in the rules, although he didn't know if it would be useful. , but she really needs a place to hide now. Besides, in so many horror games, isn’t the closet an absolutely safe place?

She instinctively walked back to her childhood room. Sure enough, there was a wardrobe covered with cartoon stickers at the foot of the bed. She quietly opened the wardrobe and got in, curling up together.

Jingle bell, the bell rings again.

When Qiu Ran heard this voice, he shivered in response. Why did this voice ring in the room? She peeked out through the gap in the wardrobe and found the woman standing at the door of the room staring at her. The bell on her waist was so dazzling.

The woman didn't do anything, she just stared at her, her face sometimes turning into her mother and sometimes turning into that hawk-billed weirdo as the light and shadow changed.

Qiu Ran covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying. She tremblingly took out her mobile phone and tried to type in the chat group, but her hands no longer obeyed the instructions, and in the end she could only send out the chat voice.

[Qiu Ran]: "It's looking at me! It's been looking at me! It's just outside the closet!"

[Qiuran]: "There is something wrong with this game! Why can it..."

Qiu Ran paused, and she saw through the gap that the corners of the woman's mouth were grinning wider and wider, as if her fear made her extremely happy.

Although the woman still hadn't done anything, she felt more and more frightened. Hiding in the closet seemed like a ridiculous way to deceive herself and others. She couldn't stand the silent pressure anymore, so she opened the closet door and screamed. He rushed out and didn't dare to look at the woman again when he passed by her.

The woman did not stop her, and the darkness formed human faces around her, laughing silently.
