Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

Chapter 113 The Axe

The game starts playing dead.

Shen Dongqing waited for a long time, but didn't realize what secret he knew.

But after he thought about it, it shouldn't be a particularly important matter, so he jumped off the iron frame bed first, and pulled on his slippers to check the surrounding situation.

The ward is simple and elegant, probably in order to prevent patients from hurting themselves, there is no decoration.

Shen Dongqing walked to the bed with a thud, and opened the curtains.

wow-

The curtain was pulled to one side along the sliding rod, but there was no window behind it, but a portrait painted on the wall.

The painters are very good at painting, and at first glance they look a bit real.

A half-open glass window is drawn on it. Behind the window is a corner of the flower garden. The sun is just right and the little daisies are swaying.In the flowerbed, there is also a little girl, with pale golden braids and a bright smile on her face, stumbling after butterflies.

Shen Dongqing was about to put down the curtains when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of the flower garden.

In the lower right corner of the window, an ax was exposed. The ax may have just chopped something, and even the delicate little daisies nearby were stained with blood.This painting was originally only the size of a window, and the things inside were all miniature versions. If it wasn't for a coincidence, I really wouldn't have noticed this.

Shen Dongqing stared at the ax for a while, then withdrew her hand, and walked to the door.

bang-

He tried to open the door, but after trying, he realized that the door was actually a picture painted on the wall, which looked lifelike, but in fact there was a wall there.

Shen Dongqing groped along the drawn door for a while, then knocked instead of pushing, and a series of "dong dong dong" sounds came from the room.

But the sound of each wall is exactly the same, which means that they are all solid and there is no hidden door.

There are no doors, no windows.

How did he get in?

Shen Dongqing thought for a while and couldn't figure it out. She scratched her hair and guessed, "Could it be an escape room?"

After going through the ghost town dungeon, he recalled some things from the letter he left behind, but after all, his memory is not complete, and many things have been forgotten. He doesn't know how to deal with this kind of game dungeon that relies on IQ.

But the problem was not too big. After staring blankly at the drawn door for a while, he turned around and went back to look for clues.

"According to the rules, there must be a way to get out..." Shen Dongqing looked at the only piece of furniture in the ward.

I hope that those who have stayed here will have the habit of keeping a diary.

With that in mind, Shen Dongqing lifted the quilt and threw down the pillow, almost turning the whole bed over.

But it's a pity that this game dungeon doesn't play cards according to reason, and there is no diary or note at all.

Shen Dongqing looked at the quilt inside and out, but still got nothing.He didn't know what to do for a while, and sat on the bare hospital bed with his pillow in his arms, thinking of a way.

thinking about...

Shen Dongqing was sleepy, her head was bouncing, and finally she fell on the pillow.Just when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a "dong" in a daze.

It looks like something has been chopped off.

Shen Dongqing woke up suddenly, opened her eyes and looked around, but nothing appeared at all.

thump—

Another sound.

Shen Dongqing walked around the ward with her pillow in her arms, and finally fixed her gaze on the window.

The windows were painted on the wall, and there was no change at all. The little girl was still smiling, and reached out to catch the butterfly, just a little bit away.

But after watching it for a long time, people will feel that the little girl's smile is fake. She smiles, but there is no trace of a smile. Her eyes are cold and even a little... indifferent.

Shen Dongqing moved over and found that the unremarkable ax in the corner was missing.

dong dong dong-

Behind the painting came the sound of chopping vegetables and melons.

Shen Dongqing thought for a moment, then reached out to touch the painting.

thump—

After the ax fell again, it seemed that something had been chopped off and fell to the ground with another soft sound.

A gust of wind suddenly blew through the closed ward, blowing the curtains.After the curtain fell, Shen Dongqing's figure disappeared, as if... entered the painting.

After a moment of weightlessness, Shen Dongqing found herself standing on a country road.

The weather here is not very good, the sky is gloomy, the wind is blowing, the trees on both sides are bare, and the branches are twisted and weird, like ghost hands, and one of the crows flew up, making a "quack" sound .

This background, this soundtrack, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the configuration of a horror movie.

But Shen Dongqing was not afraid at all, and even felt a little familiar.

Finally came to the part he likes!Of course, he prefers those simple and cute ghosts to those brain teasers.

Shen Dongqing hugged her pillow and walked along the path. Not long after, she saw a two-story log cabin in front of her.

The color of the cabin is conspicuous, and a garden is surrounded by a fence at the entrance, which is full of yellow and white daisies. Even the light is warmer and brighter than here.

However, being able to appear in such a place, no matter how safe and harmless it looks on the outside, is actually a hidden murderous intention.

Fortunately, Shen Dongqing likes to die the most. He pulled on his slippers, came to the door, and knocked on the door out of politeness.

There was no movement.

Shen Dongqing waited for a while before deciding to break in.

At this moment, the door slowly opened.

Shen Dongqing stopped and looked down.

It was a little girl who opened the door for him. She wore braids and a plaid skirt. She was short and cute.

"Excuse me, are you..." The little girl blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Are you Dad's friend?"

Shen Dongqing is not very good at deceiving people, after a moment of hesitation, she said bluntly: "No."

The little girl tilted her head and said sweetly, "No, it doesn't matter. I need your help with something. Can you help me?"

Shen Dongqing: "OK."

He walked in behind the little girl.

The little girl was not at all defensive. She had no doubt that the stranger who was holding the pillow was a human trafficker, a robber or something. She was also very enthusiastic and explained everything about her family.

The little girl's name is Liqi, and her family members include her father and mother. Now her parents are preparing to entertain guests.

Li Qi jumped to the front of the wooden house, tiptoed and opened the door.

Shen Dongqing stayed on the steps for a while, and swept over the corner of Liqi's skirt, where there were radiating blood stains, as if the prey had been hacked to death.

Li Qi raised her face: "Please come in—"

Shen Dongqing walked into the wooden house.

The furnishings of the wooden house are relatively simple. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the fireplace inlaid on the wall and the shotgun hanging on it. There is a long table in the living room. It may be because of the setting of the times that there is no TV here.

Li Qi brought Shen Dongqing to the long table and pulled out the chair: "Please wait a moment, Mom and Dad are in the kitchen, I'll go find them!"

Since the host was so enthusiastic, Shen Dongqing didn't refuse, sat down on the chair, and conveniently put aside the pillow she was carrying.

It took a long time for Li Qi to find her parents. Shen Dongqing waited for about 15 minutes but no one came out.He couldn't wait any longer, stood up from his chair, and walked towards the door leading to the kitchen.

Then Shen Dongqing and Li Qi happened to bump into each other.

Li Qi's face was flushed, and she struggled to drag a man who resembled her five points, who should be her father.

But her father was not in a good condition, his face was distorted, his right arm and right leg were missing, and there were many marks on his body that had been scratched by sharp knives. There were intestines falling out of his abdomen, and blood dripped It flowed all over the ground, almost forming a small puddle.

Li Qi also saw Shen Dongqing, and instead of panicking, she showed a sweet smile: "What a disobedient guest..."

Shen Dongqing considered for a moment, then asked, "Do you need help?"

After all, watching a little girl working is not very good.

Li Qi choked on her words.

She may have never met such a calm customer, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

On the other hand, Shen Dongqing took the father from Liqi's hand very naturally, and dragged the body to the center of the hall.

"Okay." Shen Dongqing clapped her hands, "Is there any more?"

Li Qi was completely dazed, and subconsciously pointed to the kitchen.

Shen Dongqing stepped over the blood stains on the ground carefully, and helped drag her mother out of the kitchen.

Now it was all right, Liqi's parents were finally reunited and lay neatly on the floor.

Shen Dongqing had been busy for a while and felt a little hungry. He didn't have any props on him, so he could only look at Li Qi: "Didn't you say that your parents are preparing food? Are you ready?"

Never get hacked to death unprepared.

Li Qi's face was numb: "Huh?"

Shen Dongqing gave a "tsk" and pointed at the two corpses: "You won't let the guests eat this?" He shook his head, "I'm not interested in this, go get me something to eat."

Lizzie: ...

She floated into the kitchen like a marionette, and quickly floated out again with a plate of food in her hand.

Inside the plate was a piece of black bread and a slice of carrot.

Shen Dongqing took a bite of the black bread and almost didn't move it. He spat it out in one mouthful: "This is too unpalatable! Is there anything else?"

Li Qi had been completely led away by Shen Dongqing, and she dragged herself back to the kitchen again.

She stared blankly at the messy kitchen, and was about to open the wooden cabinet to look for food, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the ax thrown in the corner, she froze for a moment, her eyes lit up.

Let you pick and choose.

Let you play cards unreasonably.

I'll kill you with an ax--

When she walked out of the kitchen again, Liqi didn't hold food, but an ax about her height.

At the same time, the two corpses that fell on the ground squirmed, got up, staggered to the wooden table, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Shen Dongqing was gnawing carrots when two bloody faces appeared in front of her eyes.Fortunately, he was mentally strong enough. After eating the carrots in two or three bites, he asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something to eat?"

Li Qi didn't answer his question, but stood there dragging the ax with a bright smile on her face: "You have to answer the question!"

Shen Dongqing: "Just ask."

Li Qi: "Dad is rude and violent, and Mom is lazy, tell me—who deserves to die?" She blinked playfully, "You can only guess once."

"If you guess wrong, I'll treat you to an ax—"

Shen Dongqing thought about it seriously, and said, "I don't think axes are very tasty, what do you think?"
