Weird story about rules: I can see hidden hints

Chapter 242 Darkness Comes

After darkness fell, all sounds in the entire supermarket suddenly disappeared, and all scenes were enveloped in thick darkness. Only the strong smell of laundry detergent filled the air.

Gu Sheng stood next to the shelf, pinched his nose hard, and pushed the cart to move sideways little by little according to the path in his memory.

He didn't dare to move around in a large area, let alone make a big noise from the trolley. He moved a few steps forward and then stopped, taking the position where the round-faced shopping guide was standing just now.

At this time, the woman should be on his left side.

But Gu Sheng couldn't feel it at all. He didn't hear even the slightest breathing sound. Only his own heartbeat, like a drum, rumbled in his ears.

This feeling gave him an awkward look on his face. He obviously couldn't notice the presence of anyone around him, but his brain kept telling him that there must be someone here.

Gu Sheng didn't dare to test it. The round-faced shopping guide was a staff member after all. He was afraid of an accident, so he could only follow the route in his memory and turn to the right. There was a narrow aisle there.

"Gu Sheng...what's wrong with you?" Mi Qiuning's voice sounded in his ears and became much fluent.

Slowly lying down, Gu Sheng put his lips to the trolley and asked in the smallest voice: "Are you recovered? Can you feel the situation outside?"

"No... I can only feel the trolley itself and the ground, and I feel that it is easier to speak. Your hands are very strong. What did you do?" Mi Qiuning asked with a little joy.

Gu Sheng touched the laundry detergent in the trolley. He was not sure whether it was because of this thing or the darkness around him that Mi Qiuning recovered a little.

When he was about to explain, he suddenly wrinkled his nose, and a strong smell came from not far away.

"The stench of corpses!" Gu Sheng was horrified and hurriedly stopped all his movements, holding the cart close to the container next to him.

The stench was getting stronger and stronger. Even if there was no sound, Gu Sheng could still feel that someone was moving this way, not very fast.

"Is this what the shopping guide said?"

Gu Sheng held the handle of the trolley tightly and took a tentative step back. Suddenly there was a slight friction sound.

However, the sound did not seem to arouse the thing's alertness. Gu moved his ears and heard the sound of footsteps that were louder than his own, not far ahead.

He took two more steps back and moved the cart a little further.

"Squeak..."

As soon as the voice came out, Gu Sheng froze on the spot, and the cold sweat on his forehead fell like a waterfall. His heart seemed to be pinched by big hands, and he missed a few heartbeats.

"The sound of this trolley..."

Gu Sheng couldn't think of anything else and quickly looked up at the source of the odor. His palms tightly grasped the laundry detergent in the car basket, reluctantly using it as a weapon.

The smelly thing seemed to be frightened by the sound of the cart and stopped moving forward. But a moment later, the sound of dense footsteps came, and at the same time the stench in the air became thicker.

"No, that thing is coming!"

Gu Sheng felt excited, grabbed the trolley, turned around and ran back. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pulled hard on the shelf behind him, sweeping down a large pile of laundry detergent.

Now he was extremely grateful to his previous self. If it hadn't been for those two circles around the supermarket, he wouldn't have known what the road ahead was.

Two seconds later, Gu Sheng turned a corner and dragged the cart with one hand, and quickly pulled it twice in front of him with the other hand. After making sure that there was nothing in front of him, he started to stride forward. Anyway, his position was already exposed, so he might as well just go straight Escape was urgent.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Dong...crunch...dong..." The sound of pursuing footsteps and the movement of Gu Sheng and the cart were extremely harsh in the silent supermarket. They seemed to stir up the entire darkness, making the smell of laundry detergent in the air even stronger.

"Wow..."

Gu Sheng covered his stinging shoulder, stumbled forward a few steps, covered his mouth and gasped.

The moment he turned the corner just now, he bumped into a shelf. Fortunately, he didn't throw the cart out, but it also scattered the entire row of shelves, blocking a large amount of laundry detergent on the road.

"What happened to Gu Sheng?" Mi Qiuning felt Gu Sheng's hand leave the cart and asked hurriedly.

After rubbing his shoulders, Gu Sheng leaned his whole body against the cart, like a ball, huddled behind a pile of laundry detergent, and simply told Mi Qiuning what happened just now.

As he spoke, he found a few bags of laundry detergent and covered himself with it to cover up his smell.

He didn't forget what the shopping guide said. That thing mainly relies on the sense of smell to track it. Only the smell of a lot of laundry detergent can get rid of it.

"Would it be better if you poured the laundry detergent directly on your body?" Mi Qiuning asked.

"I can't tell." Gu Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he moved closer to the trolley and said, "But I seem to know another function of the laundry detergent."

"what?"

Gu Sheng grabbed the trolley, lifted it up with one hand, and gently rubbed the wheels a few times with the other hand, "This thing can also be used as a lubricant!"

While he was talking, he opened the lid of the laundry detergent, poured it on the lid, and poured it down slowly along the legs of the car.

Gu Sheng felt that the trolley seemed to be shaking and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is this thing dangerous?"

He was just about to stop when he heard Mi Qiuning say: "No, it's just... you're holding my feet, it's a little uncomfortable..."

The corner of Gu Sheng's mouth twitched a few times, and a picture of Mi Qiuning's face with a blush appearing inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes. His fingers subconsciously scratched the wheels a few times, which immediately made the cart shake a little more violently.

"hand!"

The cold voice instantly made Gu Sheng stop his small movements and concentrate on pouring laundry detergent on the wheel.

After putting the cart down, Mi Qiuning seemed to have calmed down and asked, "Didn't that shopping guide say that as long as you buy laundry detergent, you can go to the next area? Have you found the passage?"

Gu Sheng's breath was stagnant, he pinched himself hard, and cursed secretly: "Damn it, they were affected again."

"I haven't found it yet. I can't see anything now. I can only move forward based on my memory. There is that thing chasing behind me, so I can't spare the energy to look for it."

"Okay, my suggestion is to find the location of the next area. Otherwise, when the darkness recedes, the damage you have caused may make these shopping guides go crazy and ask them not to let you go..."

Gu Sheng nodded. Just now he was only focused on escaping, so naturally he used all means. Now that he calmed down, he really had to face this problem.

"One more thing." Mi Qiuning continued: "How do you get out now? According to what you said, this place is barely safe, but you also blocked yourself."

"It's okay. As long as that guy doesn't chase me, it's very easy to get out." Gu Sheng said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp sound suddenly came from the right, and then there was the continuous sound of chains rubbing against the ground.
