Chapter 32: One Day

……

Zou Zhihua watched Huaiyou, who was moving his body and slowly following Luo Yi out on the screen, and couldn't help but have some thoughts shaking rapidly in his heart.

Because the one who issued that order just now wasn't him.

It was someone else above.

He didn't know if such an attempt was correct.

But he also felt the meaning expressed by the other party—could it be that the table and chair that suddenly appeared in the laboratory were actually related to Huaiyou?

Zou Zhihua looked coldly at the situation on the other side.

1690 had completely lost his life at this moment and had long been covered with a white cloth.

And beside his hand was a document that had just been sent over.

It was an analysis and material analysis of some things that had abruptly appeared in the drawer, and there were other documents, not too thin, that detailed 1690's specific physical condition and cause of death.

"After autopsy, test subject 1690's brain presented a hollow state; the brain was missing, but there were no obvious external injuries. This is also the cause of death."

Zou Zhihua's thoughts shifted.

That is to say, in other words.

The brain had been hollowed out by some unknown thing, leaving only the shell. According to the extremely terrifying photos, it could also be clearly seen that the inside was in a completely vacuum state.

It was as if it had been scraped clean, carefully...

"Material analysis: the three items that appeared in the second table drawer—parchment, ink, quill."

"Spectral analysis shows the paper is human skin, very old, conservatively estimated to be over 300 years old. The feather used for the quill comes from an unknown bird species. Test subject 1690 was promised 'love'. The price was his memory. It is now confirmed that 1690 is dead. The specific dialogue of the deal is unknown, but all of 1690's facial changes and words at the time have been recorded."

Human skin paper, and over 300 years old? Just this time alone was enough to make people feel strange.

And also.

Memory? Zou Zhihua pondered again. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be a memory deal? But this so-called memory actually hollowed out the other party's brain.

It was such a simple and brutal method.

These situations were enough to confirm that the thing was a truly absolutely dangerous item.

And logically speaking, under such circumstances, such a dangerous item would definitely be sealed. But why did the person above want this young man, Huaiyou, to go and try it?

Did the people above know something else?

And.

Just from the recording and the scene footage shown by Luo Yi just now, Huaiyou was indeed able to remain absolutely calm in the face of the mask...

From his words, it could also be concluded that this thing didn't seem to have any influence or control over his spirit.

This already represented that his relationship with Huaiyou was inseparable.

Zou Zhihua couldn't help but think at this moment.

"Is there really some corresponding relationship between them? Or is there something happening right under our noses that even the Judgment Bureau hasn't discovered?"

Zou Zhihua stood up at this moment and walked toward the door.

Lin Zhiqi soon followed.

And the direction Zou Zhihua was walking toward was that strange set of odd peach wood furniture that had appeared in the room.

That is, the things that had killed 1690.

Or rather, Zou Zhihua wanted to go and see.

"The recording recorded a distorted and twisted voice, but the exact content could not be known. Finally, according to the report under the special hypnosis that 1690 lost consciousness, 1690 saw an entity on the stool."

"The entity often leaned back as if a person were 'relaxing their body' sitting on it, and would approach or move away from 1690. The quill writing was preliminarily estimated to be done by that 'entity'. According to judgment, it is very likely that no one could see the 'entity' except for 1690 who sat on the chair."

So, was that a so-called devil?

……

Inside the room.

Huaiyou's brain was clear at this moment, wearing the mask. The eyes revealed through the mask were a kind of extremely cold clarity.

He just looked at this empty room, and at the scene in the middle of the room that even a fool could see had a problem.

Those were some furniture and tables.

Just placed straight in this room, which couldn't even be called small.

And just placed in the middle.

Luo Yi had already left after bringing him to this destination, or perhaps he was just observing quietly outside the room door.

In any case, at this moment, Huaiyou was definitely facing this thing alone.

As for how many people were observing outside, Huaiyou really didn't know.

"This thing... doesn't look normal... do I really have to sit on it like that? But at the moment, besides this table and chair, there is nothing else."

Huaiyou hesitated for a long while, but on second thought, it seemed there was no other way besides cooperating.

At least up to now, what he saw were just ordinary tables and chairs, although these things looked like royal luxury goods.

But it didn't seem to have any danger.

So soon, he walked over slowly.

No matter what happened, in his thinking, actually, as long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any problems.

It couldn't be said that this table and chair would kill people, right?

……

On the other side.

Lin Zhiqi frowned deeply, his expression somewhat solemn.

"Have you heard? 1690 is dead, just because he sat on that chair, his whole brain was hollowed out, there was no possibility of surviving at all. But now the people above want Huaiyou to sit on it. What is going on? This time we didn't receive any mission notification, not even a single clue."

Xu Yien shook his head and said: "These are not things we can manage. Just let nature take its course."

"Something must have happened inside, we just don't know it yet. I heard it was some kind of deal?"

Lin Zhiqi said seriously: "Do you think the appearance of that thing has anything to do with Huaiyou? After all, similar invasion situations like yours basically hadn't happened before, but it happened as soon as he arrived here."

Xu Yien said: "Don't meddle in these things anymore, and don't speculate wildly. The captain has already gone over personally. We just need to do our own observation. Sometimes knowing too much is not good."

But just at this moment.

"Ah~!"

A scream from the research staff came from the recording equipment.

And the sound of a violent door closing.

Similarly, at the moment this change appeared, the giant screen monitoring image went black instantly.

This meant that the connection with the outside world was cut off instantly at this moment.

Lin Zhiqi and Xu Yien's expressions changed immediately. In a very short time, they checked the equipment in front of them, only to strangely find that nothing could be restarted.

After realizing something was wrong, they suddenly rushed toward the outside at this moment.

"Strange!" Lin Zhiqi pulled the door open at this moment and rushed toward the experimental destination.

Xu Yien followed closely behind.

But after reaching the laboratory quickly, they strangely found that the research staff observing on the periphery were lying on the ground in a mess at this moment.

They looked like they had passed out.

Almost everyone's face carried a lingering fear.

"This... how did the research staff all become like this! The door, it won't open! All the monitoring equipment inside is also black!" Xu Yien pushed the door and discovered such a strange situation.

Lin Zhiqi suddenly reacted at this moment, as if he had thought of something.

"Not good, go find the captain quickly!"

……

Huaiyou had just sat down on the chair when he strangely found his phone flash at this moment, and a message was sent over quickly.

【Congratulations to the audience for arriving. Strange Tale Roulette (Trading with the Devil). Please audience, complete the "deal" with the devil alive, or "deceive" the devil.】

Huaiyou was shocked in his heart.

There was nothing else here; the whole room only had the table and chair in front of him.

Where is the devil?

Could it be these tables and chairs in front of him?

But if these things were the so-called devil, that would be too lacking in style.

Table devil? Chair devil?

Huaiyou didn't know that when he was thinking about these things, he actually didn't have the slightest fear, as if this kind of emotion had been stripped away.

You know, when a Reality Movie is in progress, it is full of eeriness and danger, so as this follow-up Strange Tale Roulette, it shouldn't be anything friendly either.

But Huaiyou couldn't realize the change in his own thinking at all.

But the facts actually proved at this moment that it would absolutely not be as Huaiyou was imagining wildly.

Suddenly.

Huaiyou strangely discovered that on the chair corresponding to him in front, someone was strangely sitting on it at some point.

His appearance had no sound, just like appearing abruptly in front of his eyes strangely.

That was a man with a slender figure, wearing a wine-red suit. This was a typical Western face, a lean figure, matched with a knife-like face, strangely highlighting an elegant temperament. His eyes were deep purple.

He sat there with a smile on his face.

Just this simplest action, he just sat there and revealed a different kind of nobility.

The next second, his body leaned forward slightly.

A piece of paper was pushed over by him, with black ink text written with a quill.

He smiled and said: "Hello, how about we make a deal?"

Huaiyou leaned forward slightly at this moment.

The mask he wore on his head seemed to have a kind of magical power.

"What deal?"

He was thinking in his heart.

"Is this the devil?"
