Zhou Bai frowned and thought about how to break the situation. He reached out from his pocket again and took out the four red ropes he had prepared in advance.
When Azhen saw the red rope in Zhou Bai's hand, her face showed the same fearful expression as Lin's father.
"You are all afraid of these red ropes, why?"
Azhen stood up, took two steps back, pressed her back against the wall, and tried to stay as far away from Zhou Bai as possible.
“You know the marionettes?
For us, only the limbs of the puppet are tied with strings.
And none of us want to be puppets on strings."
Zhou Bai listened to Azhen's answer, holding the four ropes in his hand, and fell into deep thought again.
Rules for survival at night in Xingfu Tower, Article 8.
[You can tie red ropes to your limbs in advance. In this way, you will not be affected by the sound from the ceiling. But please note that this behavior may arouse the anger of the neighbors.]
Zhou Bai remembered this rule and made a bold assumption in his mind.
A puppet on a string will be controlled by others.
But by tying a red string on it and turning it into a puppet, it will not be affected by the sound on the ceiling.
Does that mean that the puppet with the red string tied on it will be affected by another force?
And this force is something that "it" on the ceiling cannot interfere with?
When Zhou Bai thought of this, he suddenly felt that the four red threads in his hand became a little hot again.
However, he remembered another thing at the same time.
All the NPCs in this dungeon can go downstairs, why can't he?
Zhou Bai felt that the only difference between him and them was that they were dolls and he was a human being.
So, if he becomes a puppet, does that eliminate the only difference?
Things went full circle and became a multiple-choice question.
Do you want to tie a red string and become a puppet?
Becoming a puppet on a string may still have a glimmer of hope of escaping from Xingfu Tower.
Zhou Bai clenched the four red ropes in his hand, looked up at Azhen's fearful expression, thought about it, and put the ropes into his pocket first.
【Never want to leave Xingfu Building】
This rule is part of the rules that appear at night.
Although it is not ruled out that there are universal rules.
However, if you really want to leave Xingfu Building, to be on the safe side, it is safer to wait until night.
Zhou Bai thought of this and looked at the thick smoke billowing outside the door. A new question appeared in front of him.
We can only take action at night, so we must delay now.
Zhou Bai listened to Aaron's curses coming from outside the door from time to time. After thinking about it, he walked to the door and decided to go back and scold him.
"Aaron, it seems that you are just a person who only hides outside the door and sets fire.
No wonder A-Zhen doesn’t want you anymore.
It made me laugh so hard, you are so cowardly."
When Aaron heard this, he immediately became furious.
"You brat, what are you talking about?
Come out if you can!"
Zhou Bai: "When I come out, do you dare to challenge me?"
Aaron: "It's a joke, why don't you dare to challenge me in a one-on-one challenge?"
Zhou Bai: "Okay, let's meet at 8 o'clock tonight."
Aaron: "Huh! See you there or see you."
After Aaron finished speaking, he put out the torch and walked back to his room angrily to make preparations.
Throughout the whole process, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this conversation.
Father Lin and Mother Lin, who were watching the excitement outside, also walked back to their homes silently.
Only Xiong Xiong still stood in his original position, looking at Zhou Bai's door.
Zhou Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the thick smoke dissipated, and then sat back on the sofa.
Azhen also sat back opposite Zhou Bai, recalling Zhou Bai's operation just now, and suddenly burst out laughing again.
But she smiled for a while, and after facing Zhou Bai's serious expression, she could only put her smile back.
"Like a little old man..."
She murmured to herself and raised her eyes to peek at Zhou Bai.
I saw that he was still thinking about his escape plan tonight, frowning and thinking silently.
It seems that he has indeed gained some composure that belies his age.
After a long time like this, Zhou Bai suddenly thought of something and asked A Zhen.
"You said before that you asked me to wear a green T-shirt tonight. Why?"
At this moment, A-Zhen had a rare innocent smile on her face.
"I can't tell you this question yet.
Anyway, as long as you put on that dress tonight, you will know then."
Azhen said this deliberately.
Looking at her attitude, Zhou Bai could probably tell that she would not tell him the reason now.
Therefore, he did not continue to struggle with this problem, but changed to another one.
"You want to help me?"
Azhen was a little stunned, then nodded, "Yes."
"Why?"
"Because, although I grew up being watered by sludge, I also yearn for some beautiful things."
Zhou Bai felt a little sad.
Azhen, on the other hand, showed a somewhat sad smile.
"I definitely can't escape from all this, but I hope you can."
The two people fell silent at the same time.
For the next time, they all sat quietly in the living room.
Looking at the sunshine outside the window, it slowly disappears.
Zhou Bai waited until the sun completely set, walked into the room, put on the green bear T-shirt, and then walked out again.
So now, they both put on the same clothes.
"Tie the rope after a while."
With the arrival of night, A-Zhen's voice became a little hoarse.
There were no lights on in the room.
She walked to the door and opened the door in the darkness.
Aaron stood at the door in advance, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he first called out, "A-Zhen."
Azhen pushed Zhou Bai out.
In the dark environment, Aaron only saw the green bear T-shirt Zhou Bai was wearing, so he believed it to be true and made way for him.
"After you go out, go directly to the end of the corridor. I will help you delay time."
This was the method A Zhen had discussed with him in advance after Zhou Bai put on this dress.
So, after Zhou Bai walked out of the room, he lowered his voice but moved quickly towards the end of the corridor.
And just when he walked to the stairs, he took out the four red ropes from his pocket again and prepared to tie them up.
But suddenly I heard various violent collision sounds coming from Azhen's side.
Zhou Bai's heart tightened.
At this time, the laughter on the ceiling rang again.
Zhou Bai quickly stopped what he was doing.
But on Azhen's side, those violent collisions still didn't stop.
"This time, I don't want to be controlled by you anymore!"
She shouted loudly at the ceiling.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Bai heard a loud "bang".
In the trash can directly under Xingfu Building, a body suddenly appeared.
A rebellious toy, just like this, was completely abandoned by her owner.
"Since this is the ending written in the script, then this ending must happen so that the plot can end..."
This sentence was what Azhen did not tell Zhou Bai.
