Chapter 6 006: Twelve Midnight (4)

Yun Zhi is actually in an unconscious state now, but those words are still deeply rooted in her mind.

At the moment when her consciousness dissipated, she saw... no, she didn't 'see' anything to be precise.

The indescribable shock, the feeling of being so small and vulnerable makes people both yearn for and feel powerless.

——The way to explore the truth is bumpy, but there are some things, is she really, or is she able to explore now?
——Curiosity killed the cat, not without reason.

Suddenly, the voice of the game prompt came——

[Ding!Congratulations to the player for winning the Super Attribute: Shadow Clone｜Level E]
[Shadow Clone｜E-Class: Provided by an unknown black shadow, it can enable you to have another 'self' with independent thinking, which is a very flexible ability. ]
...

After Yun Zhi woke up, he walked towards the mirror in the bathroom.

The girl in the mirror is probably just an adult, and when she smiles, she is very friendly, giving people a harmless feeling, but the glasses on her face make her look much more mediocre.

But when Yunzhi took off his glasses, he realized that Yunzhi's facial features are actually very good-looking, especially those eyes——

The slightly slanted peach eyes will make people looking at these eyes feel that she is affectionate and affectionate, but the ends of her eyes are narrower and longer than normal peach eyes, so she adds a sharpness.

The whole person gives people a kind of dissociation from the world, but also deep in the world of mortal affairs. It is complicated and contradictory, but has enough attraction.

Yun Zhi quietly stared at himself in the mirror until the 'self' in the mirror smiled——

The corners of her mouth also curled up.

...

Meanwhile, others—

Cheng Xiao and An An temporarily searched for clues to the community property as a team, while An An kept trying to talk to Cheng Xiao halfway through, but with little success.

In this way, one of the two chatted, and the other went to the property office with few words.

Before stepping in, the two looked at each other, and finally walked in.

...

As soon as they entered, that damp and gloomy feeling came over them all at once, the two of them were secretly on guard, and Cheng Xiao kept his hands on his waist, ready to fight at any time.

But after a long time, the manager of the property came out and said to them with a smile: "Are you also here to inquire about that 'thing'?"

Cheng Xiao took a step forward and replied, "Yes."

"Oh... I knew..."

"Well, let me tell you a story first."

An An looked at Cheng Xiao, who nodded, and the three found a place to sit quietly.

At this time, there was no one in the property hall, and there was a trace of haze in the empty space, making people uneasy.

But the property manager started to tell the story as if he couldn't feel anything.

...

In the folk, in the West, the widely circulated '13' is actually a number with a very bad meaning.

It is said that on a certain day, a demon named "Satan" will appear.

And on this night, the devil Satan will bring disaster to mankind, and the human world will be in a boundless purgatory.

People at that time always held a sniffy attitude towards this Western legend, thinking that it was all made up by themselves, and there was no such thing.

So on such a day—that is, the [-]th day of the fourth month in the old calendar, in a very ordinary small town, people would go to work at sunrise and rest at sunset as usual, but at twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, Awakened by the sudden sound of the death knell.

It is said that the description of the person who saw it at that time: the devil Satan is nine feet tall, with two horns on the top of his head, two pairs of eyes, four legs, and twenty fingers.

It was such a night that the fire filled the whole town, and it burned for thirteen days and nights before it was extinguished. Only one old man was still alive.

...

"This story was narrated by the old man, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. People have gradually avoided the number '13'." The property manager finally concluded.

Both Cheng Xiao and An An were stunned for a moment, and An An asked cautiously, "Then, will there be a Building No. 13 here?"

The property manager gave them a strange look, and asked back: "Why do you have such an idea? You say it's a taboo. How could you give the number '13' to the upstairs?"

An'an was completely silent, with a chill down her spine.

Cheng Xiao was silent for a long time, and continued to ask: "Then what was the 'thing' you mentioned at the beginning?"

The property manager became a little weird after hearing Cheng Xiao's words, but he told the truth——

"In recent days, whenever twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, building No. 13 will appear inexplicably in the Xingfu Community."
