Cooking in the Monster Shelter

Chapter 87 Night of Urban Legends (15)

The Guess Association is super strong but very cautious.

Due to the “Association Cannot Intervene in the Competition Process” regulations, no one can take one step from Villa No. 444 except for the chairman Lin He, who has the most authority.

It is precisely for this reason that the members of the association set up a net around the villa, and various murderous urban legends gather here. Not to mention the powerful Tengu and the elongated ghost, just a glance at Xiang Liu who was guarding the door of the villa was enough to scare the invaders and flee. In case someone throws themselves into the trap, there can only be back and forth.

so.

Why would Xiang Liu personally smash the locked door open, and there is still the plague god-like Lin Concubine behind him! Sorry, Yaoshou! The chairman obediently follows her like a bodyguard!

The invasion of the Basilisk brought an indescribable smell, which instantly attracted the attention of all urban legends in the hall. Many strange creatures turned around cursingly, closing their mouths as soon as they saw Xiangliu, standing in a daze.

The scene was very embarrassing.

The rip girl who asked “Am I beautiful” stopped talking, took the scissors and became Mr. Tony, and cut a bullet to the faceless person beside her;

The vampire who was about to remove the odor source was halfway quiet as a chicken, looking left and right to no avail, in order to hide his panic, he bit his wrist and started drinking;

The cat-faced old lady, who had stretched out her paws and showed her fangs, froze, shyly retracted her palm that she was about to grasp forward, took it to her mouth and licked it, and let out an old and vicissitudes of “meow meow”.

“Sure enough, there are many.” The nine heads laughed together, and the harsh screams cut through the quiet night, like a sharp steel needle, piercing the eardrums of all the monsters present, “It’s all mine!”

Tonight is a well-deserved night of ghost stories, the time of death.

In the countless days and nights in the future, urban legends will once again remember the fear of being dominated by the Hydra, which is like an inextricable nightmare.

With Xiang Liu’s scream, all the snake bodies began to pounce in different directions. The smelly rotting aura and arrogant sneer filled the space tightly, making it difficult to distinguish whether it was in the villa or hell.

In the last second, the strange talkers who were discussing how to torture and kill humans fled, the sounds of begging for mercy, crying, and swearing rang together, making Lin Hao covered her ears gently.

“This is… Xiang Liu’s power.”

You Haoyu was shocked by the sight of his eyes. He hadn’t escaped from the shadow brought by Xiangliu, so he kept shaking when he spoke: “My sister said it is good, it is really a card face. The people of the Guess Association are embarrassed. At this time, it is estimated that even their base camp will not be kept.”

“There should be a hidden tunnel in the villa. As long as we find it, we will not be far from the Ghost Story Association.” Lin Hua took a breath, “I hope they have a way to make us all live.”

After she said that, she took a deep look at Lin He, who noticed this line of sight and hurriedly avoided it.

Since the first meeting, she asked Lin He about the Guessed Talk Association straightforwardly, but for some reason, he has always been silent about this and refused to disclose any information.

Is there anything she can’t let her know? In other words, it is impossible to disclose any in-depth information to the contestants. Is this also a mandatory requirement of the Weird Talk Association?

Under the chasing of Xiangliu, the urban legends were busy running without looking back, and there was no time to attack them in any form. Therefore, everyone easily reached the door of the room in the corner of the hall-the members were just after entering here. , Just inexplicably disappeared.

Before pushing the door in, Su Ze subconsciously showed a very disgusting expression.

What is very strange is that the open space at the door of the room is filled with dense white candles. The number is so large that it is almost impossible to walk into the house.

There are probably dozens or even hundreds of candles, arranged in a messy shape into a crooked solid circle. Obviously they have been lit before, but they have all been extinguished at this time. The pale candle body and the wall are set against each other, adding to the entire space. Many gloomy and desolate atmospheres.

Su Ze was full of chills and looked away from the ground: “What is this thing, I have committed intensive phobia!”

“This should be a classic strange story from Japan, Bai Monogatari.”

Lin Yu patiently explained: “There is a monster named’Blue Traveling Lantern’ who will call people to talk about Hundred Monogatari at night, that is, one hundred weird stories about monsters and ghosts. Before telling the story, you have to order one hundred pieces in the room. One candle is blown out every time a story is told. I heard that the reason why the green lantern does this is to gather the power of the people and turn it into a huge energy, thereby opening the door of communication between the world and the underworld. When the last candle is extinguished , There will be unimaginable terrible things, so after talking about the ninety-ninth strange story, you must remember to leave the last candle not to be blown out, and then everyone will continue to sit together and wait for the dawn.”

“The gate to the underworld…” You Haoyu’s heart moved, and he shivered. “The people who participated in that competition were really miserable. You will definitely encounter scenes of demons rampaging.”

As soon as his voice fell, there was a woman’s laughter that he had never heard before.

Different from Lin Lin’s clear and sweet voice, that voice was beautiful and hoarse, like a cup of mellow and slightly bitter coffee, when it floated around the ear, it looked like a cat’s claw scratching on the eardrum.

“It’s not that scary. Although the gates of the underworld will indeed open, I am not the one who avenges revenge.” With a sudden air-conditioning around his neck, You Haoyu didn’t dare to turn his head and listened to the woman in a daze. “Just Picking up the hundredth candle to make a wish, I can realize that wish. Those people are not lucky, do you want to try it?”

…To fulfill the wish?

Thinking of his mother’s illness, You Haoyu quickly turned his head.

Not a terrifying monster with grinning teeth, the young woman standing behind him is beautiful and gentle, dressed in a pale green kimono and outlines a slender figure. When she smiles silently and stares at him, she looks like a neon country. Beautiful female star.

Seeing the young man turning around, she walked slowly to the former, her right hand poked out from under the long sleeves of the kimono, and handed him a few white candles left.

Before You Haoyu could answer, Lin He beside him said in a deep voice, “Don’t pay attention to her. Although the last candle of Qingxingdeng can fulfill his wish, it will also take the life of the wisher at the same time as the wish is fulfilled. ”

Qingxingdeng only smiled, but didn’t speak.

“Since any wish can be realized,” Lin asked thoughtfully and asked if she didn’t understand, “What if my wish is to live forever?”

“No.” After hearing this, the woman smiled slightly, seeming to have some interest in her, “Only the wish related to the life of the wishing person, this candle cannot be realized.”

In other words, as long as you use this candle, whether you will get Jinshan Yinshan or unparalleled fame in the future, that person is destined to not be able to enjoy it. As for sacrificing one’s own life, to make a wish for others…

No matter how you think about it, such a deal is not very cost-effective.

“Really boring.”

Concubine Lin gently pressed You Haoyu’s right hand, took the candle in his hand, and pushed him forward with the other hand: “It’s better to throw away this kind of thing. It’s useless to keep it-sister, this Sell ​​the gadget to others.”

Seeing that Su Ze had already opened the door, You Haoyu nodded obediently and walked into the room following Lin Yan’s strength.

Quite different from the hustle and bustle outside, this room is as quiet as time freezes. Looking around, there is only an empty white wall, which makes people feel frustrated.

Lin Hao is in a good mood and is full of energy: “Like Lin He, although the members of the Guai Tan Association are not humans, they must be restricted by the laws of physics and cannot move in space. There must be a secret room or a secret passage in this room, as long as you find it With it, we can find the hiding place of the members of the association.”

She was right.

Lin He quietly cast his gaze on the profile of the little girl beside him, unable to say whether it was gratification, pride or sadness at this time.

Just watched this quietly for a while, and when Lin Yu was about to turn around, the young man finally asked her in a calm tone: “Have you fun tonight?”

Strange question that’s totally absent-minded.

Concubine Lin turned around blankly and collided with his gaze in midair.

Without any warning, Lin He actually smiled at her.

Since the two met, he has always maintained the taciturn and unsmiling image of Gaoling’s Flower. Although a beautiful face, it has always been as cold as a sculpture, without any redundant expressions. Even if the corners of the mouth are slightly curled up a few times, it is extremely restrained and restrained, and it is fleeting like a gust of wind.

This is the first time Lin Lin saw an undisguised smile on his face, like the clear spring water rippling from the corners of his lips, forming a soft arc. Then the smile spread upwards little by little, and finally dripped into the youth’s deep eyes, lighting up a faint dim light in the bottomless darkness.

In the dead and gloomy surroundings, this gentle and pure smile seemed particularly abrupt and untimely, full of a lot of inexplicable emotions, making Lin Hao blinked in a daze.

Something’s wrong.

Not only Lin He’s smile, but the sentence he asked was also strange, and there was no logic at all.

Concubine Lin opened her mouth slightly, but before the words came out of her throat, she felt a sharp pain behind her unsuspectingly—

Lin He suddenly raised his right hand somehow, and slammed his side palm on the back of her neck impartially.

The pain is like a swift electric current, rushing up from the hit cervical spine, reaching the depths of the brain at lightning speed, shattering all conscious consciousness. Before she could say the last word to him, she whitened her eyes and fainted weakly with her eyes closed.

After witnessing this scene completely, You Haoyu was stunned.

Su Ze was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move. After a while, he courageously asked: “President, you, have you been possessed by a monster?”

Lin He did not immediately answer his question, but took Lin Hao’s shoulders so that she would not fall to the ground, and then patiently helped the latter to sit in the corner.

When he raised his head to look at the two of them again, the slight smile disappeared, and the cold expression that had been expressionless on his face was restored.

His voice was horribly cold, and the murderous aura that was exposed during it could not be more obvious. When it sounded slowly, every word was hammered **** the eardrum: “Everything should be over.”

You Haoyu was more courageous than Su Ze, and his head trembled and said, “President, what is going to end? Are you okay? Why do you stun your concubine?”

Lin He, who was wrapped in a black sweater, stood quietly in a dark corner, with a fierce and unknown aura lingering all over his body. He fixedly watched the two for a while, and when he spoke in a deep voice, he couldn’t hear any emotional fluctuations: “The night of urban legends is actually a sacrifice.”

He answered the question in a gloomy and terrifying tone, and the two of them looked at each other quickly and listened to him without saying a word.

“The brainwaves of human beings about urban legends converge into mind bodies, thus creating corresponding creatures. But mind bodies are quite limited, not only without entities, once the popularity of legends gradually diminishes, too few brain waves are not enough to maintain the form. , The mind body will also disappear. In order to make urban legends a real thing, instead of relying on human consciousness for survival, the Guai Tan Association came into being.”

Su Ze was confused when he heard: “What brain wave, what mind body?”

“Probably,” You Haoyu explained in a low voice, “When many people believe that something exists, their consciousness can really create that thing; but once the thing slowly loses its popularity, they believe that it exists. There are fewer and fewer people, and it will disappear with it.”

Lin He looked at the expressions of the two and lowered his eyes slightly: “The rules of the Weird Talk Association are to carry out sacrifices in a different dimension. 13 people summon 13 urban legends, and then at the cost of the summoner’s life, in exchange for it Legends come true—that is, between the summoner and the urban legend he wrote, only one is destined to survive.”

Su Ze heard so many words from him for the first time, and after strenuously digesting the words, he finally came up with a meaning—

Lin He and Lin Concubine can only live one.

“you…”

Su Ze’s face was pale, and his voice trembled into a sieve: “Are you going to kill Sister-in-law?”

“No.”

Lin He’s expression was faint, and his slender eyebrows glanced lightly, like a feather across Lin Hao’s cheek. His voice was equally soft, but with a certain, unquestionable determination, like a helpless sigh: “It’s fine for now.”

The two young men froze in place at the same time.

“‘All contestants can only survive one’, this is just the rules we set artificially in order to allow more urban legends to complete the sacrifices, not the established rules of the association.” Lin He lowered his eyelashes, seeming to be extremely light. Smiled, “The Night of Urban Legends will end on time at six o’clock in the morning. When she wakes up, you can leave together.”

“But in that case…” Su Ze spoke with a hesitation, his pale lips trembling, “Although Sister Lin can survive, you will disappear because of it!” The survivor wrote the strange talk meeting. It disappeared completely because you didn’t get the same amount of exchanged chips.’ This is what you told us personally, didn’t it? Still say—”

He paused for a moment and frowned in disbelief: “You have already decided, and you want to save your life to protect her? This is too impulsive! If everyone sits down and discusses it, maybe you can find a way to survive.”

“This is not an impulse.”

Lin He took out the knife from his pocket. The silver-white metal looked very crippled under the light, like his cold tone: “From the very beginning, I have made a decision. The reason why I accompany you here is just thinking Make her happy-I am the president, don’t I understand the rules of the association?”

You Haoyu frowned: “But you…”

“I?”

The young man laughed at himself, his eyes gloomy like an abyss: “Like the association, I was created out of thin air. People like me have never really existed, and it would be a shame that they disappeared.”

The Weird Talk Association itself is also a Weird Talk.

Everyone in the association has no past, let alone a future. From the very beginning, it is destined to be just a tool to hold the night of urban legends month after month.

He used to live like a machine. Not only did he never realize what friends, family and lovers are, but even the most basic human emotions are pitiful.

Until tonight, a strange emotion suddenly filled my heart, Lin He left the old villa for the first time in his life, no longer through the surveillance camera, but personally set foot on the street that he had seen countless times.

He began to awkwardly learn how to get along with other people, how to fight monsters, and how to get used to the strange feelings surging in his heart.

Even if it is all false, even if Lin Yu keeps him by her side, just wanting to use it, the feeling of walking with her on the street at night…

it’s actually very good.

You Haoyu stopped talking.

He would never have thought that Lin He had already believed in death a long time ago. Even if you know that you will die at the last minute, you still have to accompany them all the way, always pretending to look like nothing has happened, this is too-

It’s too sad.

Su Ze’s eyes kept moving back and forth between the two, and his voice was low and inaudible: “Really…Is there no other way?”

Lin He did not answer.

The answer is self-evident.

A little bit of dead silence grew and spread from the still air, like a suffocating stream of water, engulfing everyone present.

It was You Haoyu who broke the silence first. He lowered his head, the original clear boy voice was suppressed hoarsely and lowly: “If Sister-in-law knew it, she would definitely…”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Su Ze taking a breath of coldness beside him, seeming to be extremely surprised. Vaguely aware of something, before You Haoyu turned around to check it out, he heard a familiar voice sound—

“What makes me happy… If someone dies because of me, I won’t have any happy emotions.”

“Sister-in-law!”

The heart thumped and thumped violently uncontrollably, and You Haoyu suddenly raised his head to face a pair of bright peach eyes.

“Also, what is meant by “never existed”.”

Concubine Lin stood up from the corner of the wall, gently rubbed the back of the neck that had been hit by Lin He with her palms, her eyes condensed helplessly on his face: “When you first met, you wanted to kill me fiercely; Hejiu When the boy swallows fight, even if you are half-dead, you have to hold on to the front; after encountering a tengu, you help me block the heavy blow; the most important thing is the one you beat me not long ago A palm… everything that happened tonight, I remember it all in my head.”

Under the surprised eyes of the young man, she smiled and said the last sentence: “It would be cruel to say that they never happened.”

“Sister Lin Yan!” Su Ze stared red eyes, almost crying, “Are you okay?”

“Don’t worry. Due to some accidents, my body is different from ordinary people.” She said, focusing her eyes on Lin He, and her smile became more obvious. “In fact, that kind of powerful blow can’t do much to me. The impact is still too light. Because I wanted to see what you were planning to do, so I pretended to faint and lied to you a little bit. Sorry.”

Apologize completely insincerely.

But it is also her style.

When facing Concubine Lin, although Lin He’s expression was still indifferent, he lacked a lot of arrogance that rejected others thousands of miles away, and his tone softened unconsciously: “You shouldn’t be awake.”

“It’s not acting in a miserable drama, don’t put on such a sad expression.” She glanced at You Haoyu with red eyes, gave the latter a comforting smile, and then turned her gaze to Lin He, “The time limit is six. At that moment, at six o’clock, if I were alive, you would disappear, right?”

Before the other party could reply, she went on to add another sentence: “If I die at six o’clock, then you will die, but you shouldn’t die at the same time… What will happen?”

Lin He frowned slightly.

This method has never been tried, and there is no corresponding regulation in the association. After all, no one can greet death with precision every second, and no one would try his best to give up his life for the sake of an urban legend.

“It seems you don’t know either.”

Concubine Lin kept her eyes bent when she spoke, her dark pupils shining brightly under the light, and she looked gentle and cunning. She paused for a moment, smiling briskly: “Since it is a game, why not challenge some more interesting gameplay?”

Lin He was taken aback for a moment.

He was already ready to die, but he didn’t expect Concubine Lin to wake up midway, let alone drop her head and take out something familiar from her pocket.

The pure white candle, because it has been burned, only a small part of the body remains—

That was the last candle left by Baiwuyu.

She persuaded You Haoyu to throw it away, but she didn’t know when to bring it with her.

“Mother Lin, stop!”

Realizing what she was about to do, the young man rarely showed an eager look, and walked straight towards her, but Lin Lin’s voice rang in his ears very clearly, like running water hitting the rocks on the shore.

She held the candle in both hands and said softly: “I will die on time at six o’clock this morning. This is my wish.”

The candle that had been extinguished lit up suddenly, and the dim yellow flame was erratic, reflecting her dark eyes. Concubine Lin and Lin He glanced at each other, and took a quick breath as the latter was about to **** the candle away.

Then blow it out.

The reason for making this wish was based on many considerations.

Qing Xing Deng once told her that the wish cannot be about “letting the wisher himself continue to live”, so there is no way to make a wish for her and Lin He to survive at the same time; if you say a wish like “Let Lin He live through six o’clock”, Regardless of the rules of the Baiwuyu or the Ghost Story Association, Lin Hao is bound to die.

In order for them to survive, although the possibility is slim, in the final analysis, they can only use the game and mutual exclusion between the two rules.

According to the association’s sacrificial exchange rules, when Lin Hao successfully survived to the end of the night of urban legends, Lin Hehui would be completely wiped out at 6:00 in the morning;

But once the curse of Baiwuyu takes effect, she will die at 6:00 a.m. at the same time. Using this as a bargaining chip, Lin He will not disappear.

At the moment of six o’clock, the two of them will form an extremely contradictory paradox, no matter who lives or dies, while following one of the rules, they will definitely violate another iron law that cannot be violated.

This wish will lead to disaster, and the contradiction that originally belonged to Lin He and Lin Hao has been transformed into a confrontation between the two urban legends, and the association and Baiwuyu are both strange talks, and there should be no strong or weak in ability. Today’s situation is like Schrödinger’s cat in quantum physics. All future possibilities are in a state of double superposition. When the time comes, they are both dead and alive. What will happen then…

It really makes people look forward to it.

Lin He was obviously angry, and grabbed the candle in her hand, and a faint flame was faintly reflected in her always waveless eyes.

But he is not good at losing his temper, and he will not lose his temper to Lin Yu. This anger was quickly pressed back to the bottom of his eyes, and in the end he only lightly rebuked her: “Naughty!”

“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.” Lin Jia put her hands together, trying to appease his anger, “Although we may all die, there is still a half chance of surviving. The 50% probability is enough for us to let go. Give it a go.”

Lin He frowned and looked at her, and retorted stiffly: “You had a 100% chance of surviving before.”

Concubine Lin was unwilling to show weakness, and immediately answered: “But you are zero percent.”

She paused, raised her eyes and grinned at him: “I am willing to give you 50% of my life. Don’t let it down.”

Give him 50% of his life.

This is…what are these words?

Lin He blinked a few times quickly.

He felt panic-stricken for the first time, and he hardly knew how to face her. The speed of his heart seemed to be beating faster and faster, and every beat seemed to break through his throat, making him nervous and at a loss what to do.

After a long time, the young man finally lowered his eyelashes obediently and let out a helpless low smile: “You are really bold.”

“Thank you. If you are timid, I won’t take over the job at hand.”

As if thinking of something, Lin Yu hurriedly scanned Su Ze and You Haoyu, and said in a very gentle and kind tone of incomprehensible horror lines: “By the way, I have never introduced myself to everyone. I work in Qichuan City. The task force of the biological shelter came to participate in the night of urban legends to take Lin He back to prison for food.”

Lin He and Su Ze, as isolated urban legends, do not have much complete knowledge of the existence of the “task force”. Only You Haoyu showed a trivial and ruined expression. The mouth opens into a big circle.

Nowadays, alien species are everywhere, and the task force responsible for sheltering high-risk creatures has naturally become the idol of countless teenagers, and You Haoyu, who is in his adolescence, is no exception.

The task force Shenlong never saw the head and the tail, and basically never appeared in public. He once had a long conversation with friends all night, and finally concluded the general image of the task force member: 185 and above, big body and muscles, when on mission Wearing high-level chemical protective clothing, carrying cool and tugging firearms and weapons, how cool and how to come, is similar to the counter-strike in the movie.

The result, but, however.

What’s the matter with this beautiful and slender girl! Although Lin Hao’s skill and mind were indeed incredible, she still shattered all the illusions!

Ah, no, it should be “makes people even more imaginative about the task force”! Excuse me, are there all nice little brothers and sisters there!

“But I’m more good at cooking than on assignments.” Lin Yu was amused by his exaggerated expression and laughed out loud, “If I can go out together alive this time, I will invite you to a big meal.”

“So,” You Haoyu finally caught a blind spot, and the originally fragmented Three Views were pieced together. “Sister, are you… the chef of the task force?”

Lin Yu thought without hesitation: “Yes, by the way, he also serves as the captain.”

You Haoyu:…

You Haoyu: When I didn’t ask.

The author has something to say:
