The two came to the hut and knocked on the door. Soon, a thin middle-aged man opened the door. His cheeks were deeply sunken, his face was yellow and his muscles were thin. He looked like he was dying, but he was in good spirits. The middle-aged man looked behind the two and asked, "Is there anyone else behind?"

This appears to be the hunter's winter hut, decorated with animal skins, and the fireplace is blazing and crackling.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, both men and women. At this time, they raised their heads and looked at Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao. Xu Rendong said: "No, just the two of us. Excuse me..."

Excessive tension in the nerves made his observation keen. He noticed that two young girls suddenly changed their expressions after seeing his face, and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. Another young man also showed a very subtle expression when he saw the girls' reactions.

…Why are these people so suspicious.

The middle-aged man smiled warmly: "Come first."

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao looked at each other and walked into the warm cabin.

The dozen or so people sat around the dining table without saying a word. The middle-aged man who just opened the door greeted him and said, "Hello, my name is Yuan Xueming. You can sit wherever you like."

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao also reported their names. Yuan Xueming nodded in greeting, but the others didn't respond, with complicated expressions on their faces. The atmosphere in this room is very strange, Xu Rendong was about to ask, Yuan Xueming said, "Is it the first time for you to enter the elevator?"

Also?

Does everyone here come in through that irrational elevator? Also, what does the first time mean?

Xu Rendong didn't know whether it was the "first time" or the "third time", so he remained silent. Lian Qiao nodded, with an expression of wanting to ask questions.

Others in the room also responded. Yuan Xueming said: "Now it seems that everyone here is new, and only I am an old man. Everyone should be ready, let me explain to you. You may have also discovered that this is not our world, and you want to leave here. Had to find the elevator and the button."

"But the elevator has disappeared." Someone questioned.

Yuan Xueming said: "That's the entrance. There will be an exit elevator near here, but the elevator has no button. We just need to find the button and install it on the elevator, and then we can leave here."

As soon as they heard the word "Leave", everyone's expressions finally softened, and someone hurriedly said: "Then let's find it! I don't want to stay in this kind of ghost place for a moment!"

At the same time, a woman asked suspiciously: "Is this really not a reality show?" She looked around, probably looking for a hidden camera, "I warn you, without consent Bring us here, you are kidnapping! It's against the law!"

A man said, "No way? Didn't we just watch the elevator disappear?"

The woman snorted coldly: "That may be a trick, or a mechanism. I just got kidnapped and I can't figure out the situation, it's easy to be fooled."

Even Joe had such doubts before, and now everyone began to waver. After all, it is much easier to accept being deceived and kidnapped than suddenly crossing into another world. Thinking this way is also an escape mentality.

Yuan Xueming sighed helplessly.

As a person who has died twice, Xu Rendong has no doubts about the horror of this world, so he understands Yuan Xueming's mood at this time very well. He said: "This is indeed not the real world."

Everyone looked at him in unison.

Xu Rendong said: "Because I have..."

Before the word "death" was spoken, he suddenly felt a tinge in his mouth, his tongue seemed to be nailed, and he couldn't move. His expression changed greatly, but he found that not only could he not make a sound, he could not even open his mouth.

However, in the eyes of others, it seems that he suddenly remembered something, and he suddenly grabbed the conversation.

The woman sneered: "What's the matter? What's the scruples, keep talking."

Xu Rendong tried a few more times, but her mouth seemed to be filled with paste and could not move. But apart from being unable to speak, there is nothing unusual about the body. Could it be some mysterious force stopping him?

What does this mean?

Seeing that Xu Rendong hesitated to speak, everyone believed the woman's words more and more. The impatient man from earlier even jumped to the table, and said violently: "Fuck you! Can't act anymore! I think you are the inner responder!"

Xu Rendong frowned. He couldn't argue for himself. Fortunately, the impatient man didn't target him, but looked around and shouted angrily: "Where are the other staff! Get out of here for Lao Tzu! What kind of dog show is this! Lao Tzu is going to sue you all in court!"

Lian Qiao, who had been silent for a while, suddenly burst out laughing. Xu Rendong glanced at him, and Lian Qiao leaned into his ear, holding back a smile and whispering: "If the staff really gets out, I'm afraid they will smash his dog's head with a sledgehammer."

The butcher's huge figure immediately appeared in Xu Rendong's mind, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

"What are you two sneaking about!" The impatient man jumped up, the veins exploded on his face, and he looked really angry.

Xu Rendong frowned and was about to explain when the wooden door suddenly rang loudly.

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao were startled and looked at each other at the same time.

"Fuck!" Lian Qiao scolded in a low voice, "He won't really come after him!"

Xu Rendong shook her head. At the same time, Yuan Xueming had already walked to the door, Xu Rendong had no time to stop him, he had already opened the door.

When the door opened, everyone was stunned. Because standing outside the door is not a person, but a rabbit.

A half-human tall, fluffy gray rabbit.

The rabbit stood on two hind legs like a human, and was also wearing a little golden dress, looking like she was going to participate in some celebration. It glanced at Yuan Xueming with its black eyes, and then glanced at everyone in the room. Then, the pink three-petaled mouth suddenly moved.

"You must help me!"

The rabbit actually started talking?

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Lian Qiao: "Fuck! Rabbits can actually speak human words! ... Well, common settings, common settings."

Xu Rendong couldn't help but glance at Lian Qiao, wondering why this young man talks so much.

At this time, Yuan Xue obviously showed a different calm. He ignored Lian Qiao's interruption and asked the rabbit, "What do you want us to help you with?"

The gray rabbit sucked her pink nose, brewed her emotions, and cried: "The holiday is coming, but the gift I prepared for everyone is missing! You have to help me find it back. Otherwise, we won't be able to celebrate the festival well!"

Lian Qiao was a little excited, and whispered: "Come, come, send a mission!"

Yuan Xueming asked: "When is the festival?"

The rabbit said: "Seven days later."

Yuan Xueming asked again: "What are the gifts? How many are there?"

The rabbit stared at the round eyes and said confidently: "The gift is a surprise! I can't tell you!"

Yuan Xueming was helpless: "How can we help you if you don't tell us?"

At this time, Lian Qiao suddenly took out the wooden doll with a strange smile and asked, "Is it this?"

When the rabbit saw the doll, his eyes lit up. The fluffy lips suddenly grinned, revealing a weird smile similar to a doll: "So you have already found a gift? Since you agreed to help, you must work hard! Don't be lazy! The festival is coming soon!"

After saying this, the rabbit turned around and lay down, kicked its hind legs and jumped away.

Everyone: "…"

Lian Qiao complained in a low voice, "Obviously he can speak human words, and he can stand up straight like a human, but does he still have to walk on all fours? Yes, it's a rabbit."

Xu Rendong: "..." He couldn't help but glanced at Lian Qiao again. Even Joe's live broadcast was full of complaints, which made the horror atmosphere gone. If it weren't for the fact that he had already died twice, he would have suspected that this was really a lame large-scale live-action horror game.

Yuan Xueming turned around and said to everyone, "You all understand what to do?"

The woman who questioned before was still unwilling to accept the facts in front of her, and sneered: "This is trying to deceive me? This rabbit is either a child pretending to be a child, or a robot! I tell you, I …”

Yuan Xueming looked at her with a complicated expression: "If you still don't want to believe it, just do it yourself. You can do whatever you want, wherever you want, I won't stop you. ."

His voice was gentle, but there was a subtle look in his eyes.

Lian Qiao whispered: "His eyes seem to be looking at a dead man..."

Xu Rendong suddenly realized that he understood why Yuan Xueming's eyes were so uncomfortable.

The woman glared at him fiercely and turned her head upstairs. The high heels made a creaking sound on the old stairs, which made everyone's heart tremble.

Yuan Xueming said: "It's too late today, let's allocate a room and rest early."

The impatient man had already climbed the wall at this time: "Didn't the rabbit tell us to hurry up and find a gift? It's just that kind of wooden doll, right?

Yuan Xueming sighed: "The time limit is seven days, so don't be in a hurry. And it's very dangerous at night, so I don't recommend going out." After a pause, he changed his tone and said solemnly, "After all, it's haunted here."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's face changed. Everyone wanted to ask more questions, but Yuan Xueming was reluctant to say it, so he just asked everyone to rest early. Everyone was helpless and had to go upstairs.

Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao came together and were naturally assigned to the same room. The hunter's hut looks shabby, but it's clean. As soon as Lian Qiao entered the house, he rummaged through the cabinets, and actually found winter clothes and thick quilts in the cabinets.

Xu Rendong originally wanted to remind Lian Qiao not to touch things, but he was only wearing a thin shirt and suit, and at this time, he shivered unsatisfactorily. Helpless, he took the clothes that Lian Qiao handed over, and then made the bed with him. Soon after, the two of them got into their own beds.

The bed is spacious enough for two grown men. Xu Rendong felt that the bed was cold, but sleepiness still came up. He had been working overtime until midnight, and he had experienced so many things in a short period of time. At this time, it could be said that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he would fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Lian Qiao was lying beside Xu Rendong, and suddenly said to himself: "This should be the smallest nesting doll, after all, this nesting doll has no seams. But how many nesting dolls are there... "

Matryoshka?

Xu Rendong looked dazedly and found that he was holding the wooden doll picked up from the stone tablet in his hand. Can't help but wonder: "Is this a Russian nesting doll?"

"Really. Isn't it written in the elevator?" Lian Qiao murmured a word, which made Xu Rendong stunned.

"What did you say?"

Lian Qiao repeated: "матрёшка, it's the Russian nesting doll."

Xu Rendong asked: "Are you studying Russian?"

"No, I know that word." Lian Qiao seemed to want to take the nesting doll apart, but after playing with it up and down, he finally gave up.

Xu Rendong watched him study the nesting dolls, and drowsiness came again and again. Just when he was about to fall asleep, Lian Qiao suddenly said pitifully, "Brother, I can't sleep..."

Xu Rendong felt very tired, but patiently suggested: "Count the sheep."

Lian Qiao: "Sheep is useless. Do you know why there is a saying that you have to count sheep if you can't sleep? Because sheep is 'sheep' in English, and the pronunciation of 'sleep' is very similar, So foreigners can't sleep and have to count sheep... We Chinese should count 'dumplings'."

Xu Rendong is kind: "Then count the dumplings."

Lian Qiao said: "It's useless... My biological clock hasn't arrived yet. Usually I'm still running at this point."

Xu Rendong: "Running in the middle of the night?"

Lian Qiao said: "Yes. I don't broadcast until eleven o'clock every day, then go out for a run, and come back to take a bath..."

Xu Rendong: "Downcast?" Excessive fatigue made his thinking ability decline, and he only felt that he had become a repeater, stupidly repeating the key words in Lian Qiao's words.

Lian Qiao: "Ah, I forgot to mention, I am a game anchor, and my daily job is to play games live. By the way, I think this world is also like a game. Look, rabbits are NPCs , released us the main line of collecting gifts. That sledgehammer is the first small boss..."

Brother Sledgehammer... the butcher who hammered him, right?

Xu Rendong felt that the name was quite vivid, and it was a little kind, so that the shadow of his face being hit with a sledgehammer was alleviated.

At this point, Xu Rendong thought of another important thing. The whole person immediately became spiritual.

"Lian Joe," he interrupted, "Actually, I've..."

This time, before the word "death" reached his mouth, his tongue froze.

Sure enough.

"Huh?" Lian Qiao turned his head, only to see the look on his face.

Xu Rendong only felt numb in her mouth, and regained consciousness after a while. Lian Qiao was wrong, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, sorry, are you sleepy? I'm too noisy... I'm sorry, don't mind, actually I'm still a little scared, but I feel better when I talk to you. .Hey, I seem to be a bit of a follower, after all, you are the first person I met in this world...

Xu Rendong: "The printing effect?" He suddenly found that in front of Lian Qiao, he could not escape the fate of the repeater.

Lian Qiao was a little embarrassed: "Well, it's the chick complex, that's it, after the little bird is born, doesn't it take the first thing it sees as a parent, and then rely on it very much? , has been following behind..."

Xu Rendong immediately understood and interrupted him calmly: "Isn't the first person you met Brother Sledgehammer?"

Lian Qiao was silent for a moment: "...you're right. But Brother Sledgehammer is so ugly, I don't want to recognize him as a father."

Xu Rendong also fell into a mysterious silence. According to the context, he judged that Lian Qiao was praising him for being better-looking than Brother Sledgehammer, and that he was more suitable to be a father... But he couldn't be happy because of this.

"How old are you?" Xu Rendong finally thought of a topic.

Lian Qiao said: "25. How about you?"

"28." Xu Rendong said seriously, "I'm only 3 years older than you, it's not suitable to be your father."

Lian Qiao: "..." After a while, he choked out a sentence, "You make a lot of sense."

"Well." Xu Rendong said, "then go to sleep."

Lian Qiao turned his head and saw Xu Rendong closed his eyes, his thick eyelashes as black as crow feathers. He quickly fell asleep, his expression of always refusing people thousands of miles away finally relaxed, and his thin lips seemed to have a hint of softness.

This unsuspecting handsome sleeping face struck Lian Qiao like a bolt of lightning, causing only one sentence to remain in his head.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!
