Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 160
"Boom, bang, bang..."

The footsteps behind him were so heavy, like dense and dull drumbeats, every step seemed to step on Zhao Hai's heart, making him breathless.

He ran away in a hurry, his fat face was full of uneasiness, and he didn't know how many times he regretted why he came to such a ghostly place in the first place.

What a shitty equal paradise, whether it is a so-called challenge project or a mystery explorer, there has never been any equality here!
The challenges are so rare that you will die, and you will have an arm at every turn, and it will even kill you if it is serious. The group of explorers are even more ruthless.

He still still remembers the desperate expression of that woman before she died not long ago. The rules of the Paradise of Equality did not kill her, but she died under the gun of the person who persecuted her.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, but Zhao Hai didn't feel too much sadness and anger in his heart at that time, on the contrary, he was very fortunate, extremely fortunate——

I am glad that I was not the one who was arrested and sent to death, and I am glad that it is because of the existence of that woman that I don't look like the most useless one.

I have to say that although the guy named Ge Yang is cruel, what he said is indeed realistic and cruel——

"The restricted area never needs useless people. Whether it is for the restricted area itself or for the team of explorers, the only role of useless people is to verify the horror of the restricted area, just like a passerby is always needed to set off the strength of the protagonist."

Zhao Hai regretted it immensely, he was still too naive, otherwise he would not have come to Equality Paradise under the instigation of others, this is not the place he should have come to at all.

Right now, not to mention buying rare treasures and other good things from Equality Paradise in exchange for money, if you don't pay attention, you may have to confess your life here.

At this moment, all the lights of the Paradise of Equality have been extinguished, but the surroundings are not completely dark, but glowing with a faint green light.

Zhao Hai couldn't find the source of the light source, everything in sight seemed to be covered with a layer of green screen, eerie and weird, more infiltrating than seeing nothing.

There was no wind, and the buildings on both sides of the road remained unchanged, but the shadows on the ground kept trembling.

The footsteps behind him were unhurried, but they became clearer and clearer, as if they were approaching step by step.

Zhao Hai doesn't know what is chasing him, but there is no doubt that it is not a person.

He didn't have the guts to stop and do a couple of tricks with the opponent, he just wanted to survive the three to ten minutes of cleaning. Those screams at the beginning of the cleaning seemed to be still echoing in his ears, provoking his fear.

From the moment the lights went out, the entire Paradise of Equality seemed to come alive, with countless monsters wandering in the darkness, hunting outsiders mercilessly.

Zhao Hai firmly remembered the prisoner's words, so after the cleaning began, he never approached the amusement facilities in the park, but kept running along the road, trying to find a suitable hiding place.

After all, Keping Paradise is an amusement park, and there are mostly amusement facilities in it. If you can't get close to the amusement facilities, you have nowhere to hide.

It's not that Zhao Hai has never tried to hide in non-entertainment buildings such as toilets, but he doesn't know if the founder of Equality Paradise has fallen into the eyes of money, and he even needs Paradise Coins to go to the toilet, otherwise he won't be able to enter at all .

Although it is possible to pay on credit, how dare he continue to reduce his Paradise Coins?He already owed Equality Paradise six Paradise coins, and if he continued to borrow on credit, there would be a dead end.

While thinking about it, Zhao Hai suddenly noticed something was wrong——

Too quiet.

The surroundings became more and more silent, and there was no other sound except the footsteps following closely behind him, which made him inexplicably uneasy.

It was clear that he could vaguely hear other people's voices when he was running away before, but now he couldn't hear anything, as if he was the only one left in the entire Paradise of Equality.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

The dull footsteps accelerated rhythmically, just like Zhao Hai's heartbeat became more and more rapid.

Without any hesitation, he raised his breath suddenly, his fat body burst out with infinite strength, and he quickened his steps and sprinted towards a thick pillar.

And as he quickened his pace, the sound of footsteps behind him suddenly increased, which made Zhao Hai's heart sink suddenly.

The monster obviously could see his movements, otherwise it wouldn't have quickened its pace to follow.

It might even be possible that the other party has the ability to quickly catch up with him, but he has been following him unhurriedly, keeping a fixed distance, so as to slowly reap his fear.

——Hunters usually like to torture their prey like this.

Zhao Hai's thoughts turned sharply, and he ran desperately. When he passed a shadow at the corner, he suddenly rolled on the spot. He dodged and hid behind the pillar. presence is minimized.

As a jobless vagrant, Zhao Hai has experienced countless chases in the days of sneaking around, and has his own unique escape method, but he doesn't know if this method will work for monsters.

But it's just a gamble.

His physical strength is no longer enough to support him to continue escaping, not to mention that this chase will last for 10 minutes.

He regained his strength, quietly pricked up his ears, trying to judge the tracker's position through the sound of footsteps, so that he could respond in time.

But soon Zhao Hai was stunned, a strong uneasiness emerged in his heart, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead——

Not because the footsteps were approaching, but because the dull footsteps had disappeared.

Yes, completely gone.

Zhao Hai's fear was instantly ignited.

Of course, he wouldn't be so naive as to think that he had successfully escaped from the monster's pursuit, because even if the monster really lost his track, it would definitely search around instead of standing still and making no sound—unless the other party Also hid.

Of course, the most likely explanation is that the monster has actually discovered him, and is standing in a dark corner at the moment, examining the desperate works he created with an admiring gaze.

Thinking of this scene, Zhao Hai felt chills down his spine.

He leaned against the thick pillar, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but suddenly felt a malicious gaze.

This gaze was so vicious that it instantly made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and his teeth were chattering.

Intuition told Zhao Hai that the tracker was very close to him, so close that he could almost feel his cold breath with his abdominal muscles.

He looked horrified, and after looking around to no avail, a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind——

That monster, could it be hiding on the other side of the pillar?

As soon as this idea popped up, he couldn't stop it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, but he still couldn't believe that there was really less than half a meter between him and the tracker.

The faint green light flickers on and off, the air is terrifyingly quiet, and the surrounding buildings are silent, like a tall tomb, which may bury him at any time.

Zhao Hai knew that he had to verify his guess as soon as possible, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lean out from behind the pillar inch by inch, intending to see what was behind the pillar.

However, he almost scared himself half to death as soon as he showed his face.

There was no monster on the back of the pillar, only a fat man with a glowing green face!

The fat man in the mirror looked terrified, and his expression was exactly the same as Zhao Hai himself. Naturally, he couldn't be more familiar with this face, isn't it exactly what he looks like?
Is this...a mirror?
Naturally, Zhao Hai couldn't think that way. He was the first challenger of the "Please do like me" project. He watched the mirror image take off his head abruptly, and a lot of psychological shadows naturally appeared in his heart.

Intuition told him that the safest way right now is to leave here as soon as possible and hide in another place. However, just as he was about to transfer, a voice like an instigation suddenly appeared in his heart——

"The monster doesn't know where it's hiding, so it's going out to die? Maybe it's really just a mirror, if you don't believe it, just touch it..."

Zhao Hai's eyes were confused for a moment, and his heart was shaken suddenly. After hesitating for a long time, he stretched out his hand and touched it carefully.

At the same time, Zhao Hai in the mirror also stretched out his fat arms, and the palms of the two overlapped without any warmth.

There was a cold and smooth touch in the palm of his hand, Zhao Hai was still not at ease, and touched it several times, only then did he confirm that what he had in front of him was indeed a mirror.

But instead of relaxing, he became more and more nervous.

Because he knows very well that there is a monster that can hide in the mirror in Equality Paradise.

In case there is a monster in the mirror...

And it was such a dazed effort that Zhao Hai's pupils suddenly shrank when he came back to his senses.

Because in the mirror, he saw a huge figure that appeared out of thin air, wearing a black robe, holding a sharp iron hook covered with barbs in his hand, the body of the hook was dark red, and it looked like solidified blood.

Zhao Hai was so frightened that he turned his head suddenly. Who knew that there was nothing behind him, and there was nothing there. Where was there a huge figure holding an iron hook?

It was extremely quiet behind him, and he could only see the dark green empty streets and tall buildings, as well as the trembling weird shadows on the ground, and nothing else.

Looking at the mirror again, the figure was still standing beside him, and slowly stretched out the iron hook, stabbing at Zhao Hai's shoulder.

"what!"

Zhao Hai almost screamed, and subconsciously turned around to avoid it, making the huge figure's attack miss.

He was relieved by the other party's reaction.

The movement of the huge figure is not fast, as long as you are careful, you can completely avoid it, and it is not a complete dead end.

Zhao Hai thought for a moment, but he didn't dare to leave the mirror after all, because he was worried that there was a monster in the mirror that could only appear in the mirror.

So just like this, under the continuous attack of the huge figure, Zhao Hai avoided again and again, as if he was playing a different game with the other party.

It's just that this is a game that you can't afford to lose. If you win, there is no reward, but if you lose, you may die.

It's not that Zhao Hai didn't try to fight back. After confirming the monster's position through the mirror, he tried to swing his fist suddenly towards that place. Did not touch.

This may explain the problem to a certain extent.

Zhao Hai is thinking, maybe everything in the mirror is just an illusion, there is no so-called monster attack at all, this is just an illusion created to consume his physical strength.

So he thought for a long time, and gritted his teeth suddenly. Seeing that the monster in the mirror was about to attack him, he quickly turned his body sideways, and deliberately took the blow with his left hand.

This is to verify that the monster really exists.

If the monster really existed, then he would definitely be injured by the monster's blow; and if the monster didn't exist, it meant that all of this was an illusion, so he didn't need to continue to avoid attacks and consume energy.

Zhao Hai clenched his teeth, but the pain he imagined did not hit his hand for a long time.

He looked in the mirror, and saw that the monster had inserted the iron hook into his left palm, and the blood flowed all over the ground, looking very miserable, but Zhao Hai didn't feel any discomfort.

Seeing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this means that the monster in the mirror is false, even if it is real, it will not be able to harm itself for the time being.

And since the monster can't hurt him, he doesn't need to spend any more effort to avoid it, it's best to leave here as soon as possible.

However, during this flash of thought, Zhao Hai's scalp suddenly went numb.

I don't know when, a strange smile appeared on the face of "Zhao Hai" in the mirror. His palm was clearly pierced and bleeding, but he seemed to feel no pain at all.

That smile seemed familiar, Zhao Hai felt like he had seen it somewhere.

He reacted quickly with a horrified expression.

Isn't this the favorite expression of the monster in the mirror from the "Do this with me please" project!

At that time, the other party took off his head slowly with such a smile on his face. This scene made Zhao Hai terrified for a long time, so that his memory was still fresh.

A strong sense of uneasiness emerged from the bottom of his heart again. Although he didn't know where the danger would come from, he was still vigilant.

He tried to turn around and leave, but found that his left hand seemed to be fixed by something, and he couldn't break free at all.

And the palm of the left hand... was the part that was hooked by the monster in the mirror.

Zhao Hai was terrified.

In the mirror, the tall monster didn't say a word, but slowly pulled Zhao Hai into the mirror with the hook in his hand, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

At the same time, Zhao Hai in the mirror was slowly moving out of the mirror, the smile on his face became more and more strange, when the eyes of the two met, he even waved to Zhao Hai, as if saying goodbye.

Zhao Hai yelled crazily, but at this time he has been completely dragged into the mirror, becoming the mirror image in the mirror, and no matter how loud his voice is, he cannot be transmitted to the outside world.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

The tall figure slowly stepped forward, and the blood-stained iron hook pierced Zhao Hai's palm, dragging him to the depths of the mirror like dragging an animal, and soon disappeared.

Zhao Hai screamed in pain and despair, but no matter how much he cried and begged for mercy, the tall figure ignored him, and no one else could hear him.

Since then, the fat man has completely disappeared from this world.

Zhao Hai, who got out of the mirror, stood outside the mirror, quietly watching this scene.

He could not be seen in the mirror, only the streets and buildings glowing green.

But he knew very well that there was no other street in the mirror, only a dark and deep hell.

And from now on, he will completely replace the fat man's identity, and there is a possibility of breaking out of the blockade, which makes him extremely excited.

But soon, the weird smile on his face disappeared, and he looked in one direction humbly.

A series of long and dragging footsteps came from outside the street, as if someone was rubbing their feet against the ground while walking.

Under the dim green light, a figure gradually became clear.

It was a figure wearing a huge cat doll costume, one eye was made of buttons, while the other eye socket did not have buttons, but a real living eyeball was embedded in it, spinning strangely.

No one has ever known what the real body under this doll costume is, including the "Zhao Hai" in front of him.

Seeing the doll, his expression froze, but he still said in a blunt tone: "My lord, according to the agreement, now is our hunting time, you shouldn't come out."

"It's not your turn to remind me whether I should come out."

The cat doll made a cold electronic voice, "And I think you don't just want to hunt, do you?"

"Zhao Hai" was obviously very afraid of the doll in front of him, so he answered bravely: "Killing prey is hunting, and capturing prey is also hunting. There is not much difference between the two..."

"Really, you think I can't see that you are doing this to escape the blockade and go to the outside world?"

"Zhao Hai" didn't make a sound, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

The cat doll obviously understood what he meant, and asked, "Tell me, whose idea is this?"

"Zhao Hai" was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, since the blockade has been loosened, it means that our era should also come back. It will be a matter of time before we get out of the blockade, and as far as I know, those who plan to get out of the blockade are far away. It's not just us."

He didn't answer directly, but expressed his opinion.

"I'm asking you whose idea this is. I don't care what you think." The doll's voice was much colder.

"Zhao Hai" trembled all over, but he still gritted his teeth and dared not answer.

"Heh, even if you don't tell me, I know that such a stupid idea can only be thought of by that idiot 'Eat', am I right?"

How dare "Zhao Hai" answer the words, he is just a small guy, the conflict between the two big bosses, no matter who he favors, it is impossible for him to end well.

Fortunately, the cat doll did not embarrass him, but turned around and left after getting the answer he wanted.

"Zhao Hai" just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw the doll suddenly stop, and said coldly: "Find me a place to stay honestly after the hunting time is over, don't go anywhere, let alone think about running out of the paradise, Understand?"

Despite the reluctance in his heart, "Zhao Hai" didn't dare to show it, and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes."

In front of this adult, he has no right to refuse.

Only then did the doll nod, and shuffled towards one direction.

Along the way, the doll almost walked through most of the Equality Paradise, and saw many people being hunted:
Someone was caught by countless hands growing from the ground, forming a cocoon made of arms, without leaving a single gap, and then the cocoon was continuously compressed, squeezing out a puddle of blood;

Someone was constantly being chased by the jumping sphere, dodging crazily, and one was accidentally crushed into a pulp;
Someone had their limbs broken by a group of humanoid monsters. Like a dead dog, they were dragged away amidst screams, and then sent to a black roller coaster. When the roller coaster started, a head with a frightened face soon appeared on the ground.

Run away, run away.

die, die.

Similar scenes are repeated in front of the dolls, over and over again.

The green-skinned goblin appeared, hastily restrained the corpse, stretched out his feet from time to time and tripped a fleeing guy, a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

It can be seen that all the monsters are having a good time-the equality paradise is not the equality paradise of human beings, but the paradise that belongs to them.

When they saw the doll, the movements of all the monsters paused for a while, and they continued to hunt after confirming that the other party had no time to take care of themselves and others.

It's just that the range of movements has been restrained a lot, for fear of making the doll dissatisfied.

Corpses and blood were everywhere in the paradise, and screams and cries could be heard wherever they went. The so-called paradise seemed to have become a purgatory on earth.

Dolls are not surprised by this.

Not only humans, but most of the abilities of creatures in the restricted zone are also banned by the rules of the Equal Paradise. If all of them are hunted successfully, then such a guy should have been eliminated.

Natural selection, this is the eternal law of the world.

Not long after, the doll came to an open space.

The open space was extremely empty, and there were no amusement buildings around. Apart from a flagpole standing in the center of the open space, there was nothing else to be seen.

There were many headless corpses on the flagpole, and blood flowed down the flagpole, some of which had already dried up, staining the entire flagpole red.

The doll stood there without moving, as if waiting.

After an unknown amount of time, all the surrounding sounds disappeared, the world seemed to quiet down, and an oppressive atmosphere continued to amplify in the open space, like someone's heavy breathing.

A big hand covering the sky slowly fell from the sky, uprooting the entire flagpole, as if grabbing a skewer, holding it in mid-air, and seeming to send it into his mouth, making a chewing sound.

The doll looked up at the sky, the sky was pitch black, and the figure of the owner of the big hand could not be seen, only the blood rain falling from the sky, dyeing the entire open space red.

"Tsk, it tastes good."

It seems that after a while, a dull voice came from the sky, "Sure enough, this kind of thing has to be eaten raw. It is enough to remove the head, so that it is delicious enough."

He didn't seem to notice the doll's arrival.

The doll knew that the other party was deliberately ignoring him. He was silent for a moment, and the cold machine sounded, and his words were full of sarcasm: "If you eat like this, you won't be afraid of eating shit."

These words seemed to trigger a critical attack, and the owner of the dull voice froze suddenly, as if he didn't know how to answer.

It took him a long time to calm down, and his voice was like Hong Zhong said: "It doesn't seem to be your time now, what are you doing here? Don't disturb my meal."

"Eat, eat, and eat."

The doll was in a bad mood, and said coldly, "I think you just eat too much shit, so your head is full of shit!"

Hearing this, Chi suddenly became furious, and his huge fist fell heavily, like a meteorite falling from the sky, instantly smashing a huge deep hole in the ground where the doll was.

"Just tell me if you have something to say, are you looking for death when you come here?"

However, the figure of the doll has long since disappeared from the spot, and he appeared in another direction, with a cold voice: "Don't think that I don't know what you want to do. Before the blockade is completely lifted, no one should think about going out."

"So that's why?"

Che swung his fist again, causing the ground to vibrate, and said with a sneer, "Don't think of yourself as the boss, you don't need to take care of my affairs."

Naturally, such an attack cannot hurt the doll, and his body reappeared in another place, saying in a warning tone: "I'm just reminding you, it doesn't matter if you seek death yourself, don't pull us."

Che sneered: "Why, do you think that group of trash outside can stop me?"

Instead of responding to the question, the doll said suddenly, "Here he is."

"Who is 'he'?" said impatiently, "Be clear."

"You idiot, you can't even feel that guy's breath anymore, except you eat and sleep all day?" The doll sneered.

Dazed, he was stunned for two seconds, and then his voice trembled suddenly: "Air... you mean that guy?"

"It's not just that guy, that group of people haven't died yet—you think you're smart enough to find a way to get out of the blockade, don't you?"

"There are too many similar methods to get out of the blockade, but no one has been willing to try it first for so long. Do you know why?"

Seeing that he was eating but not talking, the doll quickened his tone and said angrily, "Because those guys are afraid of death, and they are all smarter than you! They are all waiting, waiting for a fool to go out to explore the way first, to see if those guys are still there!"

"—Yes, you are that idiot."

Facing such humiliation from the doll, Chi Chi was actually not angry this time, as if he didn't hear it, he just hesitated for a moment, and then asked again: "Is he... really back?"

The doll was also silent for a while, with an inexplicable tone: "He never left."

"I'm back..."

He didn't speak for a long time, he seemed to be thinking about it, and he didn't know what he thought of, and whispered to himself, "So what if I come back, I can't win anyway..."

"Standing in line is something we should consider later."

The doll interrupted him, "At least for now, if we want to survive, we'd better abide by his rules."

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time."

The doll teased: "About him, you are the quickest to compromise every time."

"Aren't you too?" Chi asked back.

"makes sense."

The doll was silent for a moment, and did not deny it, but said with emotion, "After all, we are all human beings in the past."

"I'd almost forget if you didn't tell me." Chi was stunned, and then asked, "Where is he?"

"Still in Equality Paradise, although the breath has changed, but I'm sure it's definitely him."

"I want to see him."

"I can't stop you from what you want to do, but remember, don't be discovered by him."

"I know."

The blood-stained flagpole was inserted back into place, and all sounds disappeared, as if thrown into the wind.

From time to time, there will be headless corpses flying from the distant air, being skewered to the flagpole, and continuing to fill the "kebabs".

The two people who had just talked to each other had disappeared.
