Chapter 12: Trickster Game

DECEMBER 28, 2022 ~ M1ZUSHI

A strange and piercing sound came from the basement.

It seemed that someone was scratching on the wooden door with his fingernails. The subtle movements combine into a high-frequency sound that makes the human ear uncomfortable. Even Hei Pi sitting in the room could hear the sharp sound constantly getting into the ear canal .

He put down the book he had picked up in disguise and determined that there must be something in the basement.

But when Hei Pi opened the door quietly, he just looked down and saw a pair of extremely long, blue and white feet standing at the door.

A pair of black eyes appeared from the door gap. “Mom” seemed to put her face close to him and stared at him through the open gap, with her pupils dilated.

He didn’t know how long she has been standing here.

Hei Pi felt the blood on his body suddenly cool down, and the hairs on his back stood up.

“Baby.” The woman bent her scarlet mouth, raised the corner of her lips, pulled out an amazing smile, and asked him, “Why aren’t you reading?”

Hei Pi paused and resisted the urge to force the door down.

“I’m tired.” He casually mentioned, “I heard some noise in the basement…”

The radian of a woman’s smile spread more widely, but the corners of her eyes were still, forming a very strange contrast, like an expression squeezed by an invisible hand. Hei Pi’s Adam’s apple rolled for a moment and continued to say calmly, “Is there a rat problem at home? I need to buy some insecticide.”

The woman did not reply, but still stared at him.

If the blue and white foot was not still standing by the door, the dilated pupils would almost burst out from the crack of the door, and Hei Pi would almost think that she had left.

In this intolerable silence——

“It should be those gadgets.” The woman said, “Mom will go and deal with it.”

The sound of footsteps gradually left. Hei Pi controlled his stiff hands and closed the door quietly.

The sense of crisis became more and more serious. He rubbed his temples with a headache.

Could’t

At least not let Yuan Yuxue face the situation of being chased by ghosts.

He thought about the newcomer’s thin figure in his heart, and unconsciously thought it was a little cruel to let the weak newcomer face this situation.

Even if the psychological quality was good and the memory was excellent, it was difficult to escape from the heaven in the face of such absolute suppression of ghost strength.

Get rid of her.

Hei Pi was lost in thought. He pressed his palm on the door handle and unintentionally twisted the metal object down. The scene in front of him was a change of trance.

It’s about time.

Hei Pi was just going to tell Yuan Yuxue that there was no need to rotate. He wanted to push the story again. It was not Yuan Yuxue who stood closer to him, but Glasses with a bad face.

The frame of Glasses has been broken and only an empty frame was left, which was full of spider like cracks. I don’t know what use it was to wear it. His face was tired and cold. The black hair was slightly sweaty for some reason. After Hei Pi appeared, he just glanced at him.

What are you doing standing so close?

Hei Pi frowned and thought. Because of his bad impression, he was subconsciously on guard. When he saw Yuan Yuxue standing beside him, he did not hesitate to insert himself into the middle of the two people, keeping a safe distance between them, so that Glasses could not play any tricks and suddenly get upset.

After finishing this series of movements, he began to question: “What were you going to do?”

He turned around and asked Yuan Yuxue very quietly.

“He didn’t do anything to you when I was away, did he?”

It’s not his fault that he thinks blindly. He looks like a man with bad water and was out of touch with others.

Yuan Yuxue was actually a little distracted.

He was thinking about what he said just now. It was really strange. It exceeded his cognitive analysis of human beings and was a completely unfamiliar field. So when Hei Pi asked him, he responded slowly because he thought about things.

“… Hmm?” Yuan Yuxue’s mind wandered back and didn’t understand why Hei Pi would ask such a question, but he said honestly: “No.”

The short pause in the middle was much like a conclusion reached after hesitation.

Although he didn’t know what was happening, Hei Pi still glared at Glasses and was very upset.

It’s not safe in the movie, nor was it safe here.

The countdown on the screen was about to return to zero. Yuan Yuxue still gave up trying to analyze the human difficult psychology and was ready to devote himself to the most important task at present. He stepped forward, his fingers were ready to press the play key, and was pulled by the quick eyed Hei Pi.

“I will.” While stopping him, Hei Pi held out his hand

But when his hand was about to touch the button, he pressed the other hand first, and the blood dripping from the broken palm was stained on the tape holder. Before entering the film, the low voice of Glasses also came.

“I will be responsible.”

His figure disappeared at that moment, and he was swallowed into the film without finishing the following words.

Hei Pi was stunned.

What he thought was not “how did the boy suddenly find his conscience”, but that his mind was slightly dizzy, and his forehead was swollen with blue veins—

What responsibility? Could you make it clear?

Hei Pi wanted to question again, but Glasses could not hear him. He appeared in the room instead of Hei Pi, and his pale face became more ugly.

It has been some time since “lunch”, and the plates with gravy soup were put away and washed dry

Clean, but Glasses seem to be able to catch the smell of broth in the air.

The stinky smell of meat with fat boiled away.

Glasses suddenly half bent down and popped up like a hot fish. He put his hands on the door and began to retch.

His stomach was empty, and he could not vomit anything. He only vomited some sour gastric juice. Finally, he stood up trembling and hurriedly wiped his mouth. He looked more like a ghost than a ghost.

Hei Pi saw this scene frowned again.

The reaction of Glasses was too extreme. Although normal people feel sick and scared when they encounter this situation. But after all, they were living in the world of escape, and it was difficult to survive in the end if they were so conflicted.

However, after Glasses vomited, instead of cowering in the room in fear as Hei Pi imagined, he opened the door first.

He happened to see a woman coming out of the basement with a skinned mouse in her hand. When she saw Glasses that opened the door, she took the door lock of the basement with her, raised the bloody mouse in her hand to Glasses, held its slender tail and said softly: “This thing runs fast, almost missed.”

Glasses fixed his eyes on her.

His face was still ugly, as if he could faint here immediately. The hatred and hostility in his eyes were also undisguised. When we looked closely, there was a deep fear in his eyes.

He was afraid.

But a second of questioning under Glasses broke the current balance.

“What else?”

He questioned her in a hoarse voice that seemed to have been burned by fire: “What else was in the basement except rats?”

The atmosphere was once stagnant.

The mouse in the woman’s hand shook slightly, stared at her glasses expressionless, and then lifted up the corner of her lips bit by bit, as strange as painting a clown’s smile on her face with red paint.

“Baby is not obedient today. He is always contradicting her mother.” She complained.

In this strange confrontation, the outside door was suddenly knocked heavily, and the sound of slapping on the door panel sounded like an enemy coming to ask for debt.

“Open the door!” The people outside shouted loudly, and in a vague and thick tone, they shouted angrily: “F*ck, I’m tired. I’m dead, aren’t I? Open the door!”

The woman immediately turned around, threw the bloody mouse into the trash could, and wiped her hands on her apron. Go and open the door. The man outside stumbled in, smelling of wine. The woman, however, did not dislike him at all. Instead, she took his arm and asked him, “Husband, how did you come back?”

Her face melted slightly, and her lips and teeth opened, revealing sharp teeth with a trace of flesh and blood hanging inside. However, the man seemed to have never noticed such a strange face. He only held his breath and cursed fiercely, and finally waved his hand impatiently.

Was this Daddy?

Hei Pi didn’t understand outside the film. He thought that the raw material in the dishes made by “Mom” was “Dad”. At this time, he was more confused and said, “Who was the person in the refrigerator?”

Yuan Yuxue suddenly said, “It’s him.”

That was, at this time, because of the angle, we could only see the “father” with strong limbs and a tall and slightly obese body all the time, revealing his covered face.

The same face as the man in the refrigerator.

But his body was much stronger than the man in the refrigerator. He has no missing part, and his expression was not frightened, but fierce.

The woman spoke softly and was not angry when pushed away. Instead, she continued to help the man back to the room to rest. Somehow, as soon as the door was closed, there was a fierce quarrel.

Most of them were men’s rude dirty words, which came rattling through the thin door, and the loud voice nearly broke the dusty wall.

The quarrel became more and more fierce. It seemed that there was a sound of fist and foot collision. With the man’s roaring roar, the sound suddenly stopped and the room returned to silence.

At that moment, the camera did not return, and suddenly ran towards the basement.

The wooden door was locked and couldn’t be pushed open. Glasses didn’t show any emotion, so he just kicked the door open.

Their old house was small in size, and the furniture was crowded in one place, but a large basement was attached to it to place sundries – but at this time, the basement has been piled up, so dense that it could not be used.

There were a lot of corpses of “Dad”, which were piled up in different places with different degrees of decay.

Of course, there were still a few “alive” people with strange vitality. They gnawed at each other because they lacked arms and legs, so it was hard to move. After the door of the basement was opened, he moved his body to get close to Glasses and repeated the same words.

“Let me out!”

“Let me out!!”

Glasses stared at them with cold eyes.

“Baby.”

The soft voice of the woman behind me said, “Dad has brought us fresh ingredients, and I will make them for you in the evening – did you open the basement?”

“Why did you open the basement door?”
