Chapter 610: Night at the Experience Hall
The wind was howling outside the window.
Wu Xian drew the curtains, sat on the old chair, crossed his legs and thought.
"Including me, there are a total of seven people in the experience center. My brother and nephew don't live in the experience center. Maybe they have been infected like my poor neighbor. Maybe they will commit suicide one day."
"The remaining mother Mei Guifen, father Zhao Qingguo, sister Hao Yulan and niece Zhou Caiwei may be the masterminds behind the scenes, or they may just be the displaced people whose cognition is distorted."
"Besides, I have something very important to do."
Wu Xian looked towards the door with a headache. Heigu was lying in front of the wooden door. She turned her head and stared at Wu Xian eagerly. Her black eyes were full of desire to go out and play.
Heigu didn't know how dangerous this experience hall was, and she had never been to so many blessed places, so she was not alert beforehand and was caught without surprise.
Now it has somewhat forgotten its old master Wu Xian, and instead misses its new master Zhou Caiwei very much, and even wants to go over and sleep with her.
Wu Xian didn't want his helper to become his enemy, so he had to wake Heigu up.
After thinking for a moment.
Wu Xian thought of a solution, but this solution required contact with the outside world.
He picked up the phone and found that it had signal and network, so he wanted to contact Han Xiaoying, but Wu Xiangang frowned as soon as he opened the "Juxin" software.
Since cognitive modification exists in the experience center, how can Wu Xian ensure that what he sees and hears on his mobile phone is not false?
So Wu Xian thought for a moment and sent this math problem in the message.
'969 times 848 times 736 =? Come back soon.'
About a minute later, the other side sent back a string of numbers. After receiving these numbers, Wu Xian calculated them manually and found that the numbers he got were exactly the same as those sent by the other side.
This is a test.
Wu Xian did not know the answer to this question in advance, so if the experience center's cognitive modification was based on Wu Xian's memory, then the correct answer could not be in the text message.
The answer to this question requires the use of a calculator, and there is more than one person on Han Xiaoying's side, so the answer will be sent back neither too quickly nor too slowly.
This time basically proves that the person on the other end of the phone is indeed Han Xiaoying.
Of course, it is also possible that the evil spirit that controls cognitive modification is good at mental arithmetic, or just happens to have a calculator at hand, but if it is necessary to think so complicated, Wu Xian might as well not believe anyone.
Then Wu Xian sent a message to Han Xiaoying.
"Go to my house immediately, find eight plates with blue and white patterns in the cupboard, smash them, and then throw Fat Tiger on them..."
After confirming that the other party had seen it, Wu Xian withdrew the message, and received a short video clip a moment later.
In the video, Heigu's favorite plate was broken into pieces, and Fat Tiger stood on the plate, looking confused at first, then a little flustered, and stepped on the only intact plate...
Click!
Wu Xian showed the video to Heigu with a sly smile on his face.
Heigu, whose mind was full of 'little master' just now, suddenly bared its teeth, its black hair stood up, its body swelled, and its eyes were fierce. It took Wu Xian a long time to calm it down.
With this video, Heigu was finally freed from cognitive modification.
It became very angry, but that had nothing to do with Wu Xian.
Afterwards, Wu Xian sent another message to Han Xiaoying, and then lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Now Wu Xian has found a way to resist cognitive interference. The experience hall does not pose much threat to him for the time being, and the real horror of the experience hall may not appear until a few days later. So during this time, Wu Xian must rest well to ensure that he has plenty of energy when he needs to escape.
A man and a dog have just gone to bed.
In the next room, Wu Xian's "sister" Hao Yulan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She stared at the window, as if waiting for something.
This is her third day staying at the experience center.
She has a wonderful family outside and a well-paid job, but she always feels that none of that belongs to her.
So even though she knew that everything in the experience center was fake, she still couldn't bear to give up the good feeling that this fake family brought her.
Everything was fine in the experience hall during the day.
But the experience hall at night made her feel terrified.
On the first night she moved in, she heard her 'brother' let out a sharp and short scream.
She quietly opened the door and saw her brother crawling upside down in the corridor on the second floor, his head rubbing against the ground, leaving traces of blood and flesh on the ground.
Behind my brother, there was a thin, tall, blurry shadow, grabbing his legs...
Suddenly, my brother stopped.
The head below suddenly looked towards the open door, with a ferocious expression on its blood-stained face, and then it quickened its speed and crawled towards her room.
Bang!
Hao Yulan screamed, immediately closed the door, and held it with all her strength, but she heard rapid knocking sounds from outside.
I don't know how long it was before the knocking on the door finally stopped.
Hao Yulan, who had relaxed, knelt on the ground and cried, her heart pounding and her face covered in sweat.
All she could think of was her brother's pale eyeballs without pupils when he was crawling upside down!
Hao Yulan is just an ordinary woman.
Such a horrifying scene kept her awake all night. She sat on the floor and dared not move. She made up her mind to leave after daybreak.
But when it was daybreak, she quietly opened the door and found that everything outside was normal, and a simple breakfast had been prepared in the restaurant downstairs.
Her brother was still sitting at the dining table as usual, warmly inviting her to come down for dinner, as if what happened last night had never happened.
Looking at this heartwarming scene, Hao Yulan felt mixed emotions in her mind. After a moment, she sat down at the dining table as if possessed by a ghost, and her agitated mood gradually calmed down...
After the meal, she gave up the idea of leaving the experience center.
Compared to her brother crawling at midnight, she was more afraid of leaving this home, and more afraid of returning to reality, a place that could not give her the slightest sense of belonging.
So last night, she stayed in the experience hall again.
That night, she heard her brother's screams again, which were more miserable and lasting than yesterday. In addition to her brother's screams, she also heard the sound of knives and axes cutting flesh in Zhou Caiwei's room!
But she didn't dare to open the door and look out.
……
Today is the third day that Hao Yulan has come to the experience center.
She lay in bed, feeling a little better than yesterday, because her brother had moved out of the experience hall, and at least she no longer had to worry about seeing the terrifying crawling man.
And today she also has a cute curly-haired brother and a very smart black dog.
"Tomorrow I will show my brother my cooking skills, and spend more time with him so that he can experience the warmth of family."
As she thought about it, she actually smiled gently.
She didn't notice at all that something was growing under her bed.
