Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 487 Horror

As Zhou You pondered this, he tapped the ground with his hand.

The wood was filled with very thick iron, and it was covered with some kind of magic. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been reinforced. It also exuded a chilling aura from the inside out.

The hardness of this thing
Let alone his current child's body, even if he descended with his own body intact and used the evil-suppressing talisman together, it would probably take a lot of effort to pry open this iron block.

Looking at the tightly sealed door, and then at the window—which wasn't sealed off—he didn't open it, nor did he think of crawling out through it. He just pondered for a while, then shook his head, blew out the candle, lay back down on the bed, closed his eyes, and went to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight scratching sound suddenly came.

It sounded like a mouse scratching the floor; there was nothing unusual about it, and most people would probably just ignore it.

But Zhou You opened his eyes instantly.

The script no longer included the warning against severing evil, so he always slept very lightly and would wake up immediately at the slightest noise.

He stared wide-eyed, took a few seconds to adjust his breathing and make sure he was capable of fighting before getting out of bed. But after thinking for a moment, he took the candle off the candlestick, held it in his hand as a weapon, and then turned his ear to listen to his surroundings.

The scratching sound was very faint.

If you don't listen carefully, you might even think it's an illusion—it wasn't until Zhou You listened for a while that he realized the sound was coming from the other side of the door.

He crouched down and walked over, then stopped in front of the door, cautiously pressing his ear to the doorframe.

But in the next moment.

The incessant scratching sound suddenly stopped.

Instead, a voice that was extremely timid and tearful came from it.

"Senior brother?"

—That was also Lin Yunshao's voice.

Zhou You frowned, but did not rush to reply. Instead, he knocked on the door, feeling the immense thickness of the barrier, before finally speaking.

"Junior sister?"

Instantly, the voice, as if grasping at a lifeline, suddenly became filled with immense joy.

"Yes, that's right, senior brother, it's me!"

Zhou You's brows remained furrowed, and he continued to ask questions.

"What are you doing out so late?"

Lin Yunshao said, his voice trembling.

"I...I don't know either—I was sleeping soundly in my room when, somehow, I suddenly found the door open. I must have been out of my mind, I don't know what I was thinking, I suddenly wanted to come out and see what was going on, but then the door closed by itself, and now I can't get back in."

The voice was exactly the same as that little girl's, and there was no problem with her speech.

Therefore, Zhou You continued calmly.

"I see. Why don't you wait until Master comes back tomorrow? It's not cold now, so it won't matter if you spend the night outside."

Lin Yunshao was speechless for a moment.

She hadn't expected Zhou You to be so indifferent, and it took her a while before she continued.

"Senior brother, this won't do. There are monsters outside. Although they haven't found me yet, I can't wait until dawn."

"What monster?"

Lin Yunshao paused, then said in a tearful voice.

"I don't know what kind of monster it is. I can only see a dark shadow moving on the ground, but it swallows everything it touches. I'm afraid I'll be one of them too. Senior brother, I don't want to die!"

Zhou You fell silent again, and only faint sobs could be heard outside the door.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Junior Sister Yun Shao, what do you think we should do now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunshao outside suddenly became overjoyed.

"Senior brother, open the door and let me in. Let me hide here for one night, just one night will do."

Zhou You frowned and said.

"But the door is locked, and I can't push it open from the inside. How can I let you in?"

Lin Yunshao was speechless for a moment, but she quickly came up with a solution.

"Senior brother, isn't the window unlocked? Open the window, I'm small, I can squeeze in." Zhou You nodded upon hearing this.

"As expected of my junior sister, she is truly intelligent and quick-witted, figuring out how to solve the problem so soon."

However, despite saying that, he didn't even flinch.

After a long stalemate, Lin Yunshao began to get impatient.

"Senior brother, that dark figure is getting closer and closer! Quickly open the window and let me in!"

Zhou You remained calm and composed.

Even their speech became slow and deliberate.

"I'm talking to you, junior sister."

"Senior brother, you!"

“I’m telling you, you didn’t always treat me like this.”

".?"

Zhou You simply sat down cross-legged and then laughed.

"How should I put it, you're smart, but a bit too arrogant, and you always have this strange aloofness towards outsiders. We've known each other for so long, and you've only ever let me call you Junior Sister Lin. Sigh, you won't even let me have a nickname."

Lin Yunshao outside the door stopped calling for help.

So all Zhou You could hear was the heavy breathing outside.

After a long pause, the other party finally spoke slowly.

"Senior brother, I was so scared that I didn't pay attention. If you have any complaints about my previous attitude, please apologize now. Please, let me in. That dark figure is getting closer and closer."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou You laughed again.

"By the way, junior sister, unlike me and Aqua, you've always had a pretty good memory—so let me ask you, what was the first thing I gave you when we encountered the monster in that granary?"

silence.

Moreover, they didn't reply.

Time slipped away slowly in this silence.

But soon, knocking sounds came from the window.

"Senior brother, that thing is catching up! Please open the window, please, please let me in!"

The cries were extremely anxious, even bordering on desperate.

however.

Zhou You, however, sat cross-legged on the ground, listening quietly.

Outside.

The heavy breathing continued, and he remained motionless from beginning to end.

so.

Who is that thing calling for help outside the window right now?
Seeing that Zhou You still ignored him, the scratching sound started again, and at the same time, there was a loud banging outside the window.

"Senior brother, could you open it for me?"

"Senior brother, could you open it for me?"

"Senior brother, could you please open it for me?"

"Senior brother, open it!"

"Open it!!"

"Open it!!!!!"

Finally, it was no longer those tearful words, but an extremely piercing roar.

Zhou You, however, simply squinted, held the candlestick, then closed his eyes and sat in meditation.

He completely ignored the eerie roar and could only sigh in the end.

"Fuck your mother, you son of a bitch, this script is way too difficult!"
