Chapter 11 Red High Heels
Chapter 11 Red High Heels
When Lin Feng returned to his seat, his gaze unconsciously swept over the people who had just come back from the restroom.
My heart sank suddenly.
Something is wrong!
Of these people, at least seven or eight were in obviously abnormal condition.
They had heavy, ink-like dark circles under their eyes, their gazes were unfocused and empty, and their gait was subtly stiff and uncoordinated.
"Oh no!" Lin Feng thought to himself, a chill running down his spine.
"So many people...did they all turn around in the restroom?!"
Last night, we had a difficult vote to execute José, and now so many "polluters" have suddenly appeared. If they all break out at the same time, this plane could instantly become a real hell on earth.
He had barely sat down in his seat when he immediately sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around him.
Sitting next to him was a chosen one from the Rainbow Kingdom, a young man named Varghir, who was originally quite cheerful.
But at this moment, his face looked ashen, and his dark circles under his eyes looked as if he had been punched hard, exuding a strong sense of foreboding.
"Vagri?" Lin Feng lowered his voice and called his name.
Wagri shuddered violently, as if pricked by a needle, and turned to Lin Feng in alarm.
"Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin Feng... I... I feel a little unwell."
"Did you turn around in the bathroom just now?" Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush.
Vagri nodded vigorously, tears welling up almost instantly, but he forced them back, leaving only red-rimmed eyes and overwhelming fear:
"I...I couldn't help it...I just...just glanced...really! Just one glance! There was nothing there!"
"But...but after I came back, I felt my back getting colder and heavier...it felt like...like there was something lying on my back, tightly, heavily...and blowing cold air on the back of my neck..."
His voice trembled with tears, "Am I... corrupted?"
Lin Feng nodded heavily.
"Very likely. Based on Jose's case, turning around in the bathroom was probably the key action that triggered the contamination."
"What should I do? I don't want to die! I'm only twenty-two! I still have parents at home..."
Wagri gripped his hair tightly with both hands, almost digging into his scalp.
Lin Feng barely suppressed his anxiety and comforted him:
"Don't panic, stay calm! Since pollution exists, there should theoretically be ways to remove or suppress it."
"Let's think about the rules carefully, or look for other clues..."
Before he finished speaking, his gaze inadvertently swept over Wagri's feet, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
Beneath Wagner's seat, in the shadows, lay a pair of red high heels—somewhere that had been there all along!
The shoes were a vibrant, almost dripping color, like congealed blood. Their extremely retro style gave them a jarring and ominous feel.
The content of Rule Five instantly exploded in Lin Feng's mind:
[Do not touch any items that do not belong to you, especially red items. If they appear in your area, please use the call button to inform a flight attendant, who will handle the situation.]
"Vagri! Don't move!" Lin Feng immediately barked, his voice unusually stern. "Watch your step!"
Wagri was startled and instinctively looked down, instantly spotting the strangely appearing red shoes.
His pupils dilated violently, and his voice trembled: "What...what is this? When...I definitely didn't have it when I sat down!"
"Rule Five: Do not touch red items. Call the flight attendant immediately." Lin Feng remained calm and reached for the call button above his head.
"No! Wait!" Vagri suddenly grabbed Lin Feng's wrist.
His eyes were filled with extreme fear and a desperate will to survive, making him look somewhat obsessive and frantic, and his breathing was rapid.
"These shoes... these shoes appeared here, precisely after I was contaminated!"
"Maybe...maybe this is the key to eliminating the pollution?!"
"Look at its color, so eye-catching, so unique... Maybe it can fight fire with fire? Wearing it will neutralize what's behind you?!"
This idea is full of gambler's madness.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng paused, lost in thought.
Logically speaking, this is almost suicidal, as the rules clearly warn of the dangers of red items.
But the world of supernatural tales often defies logic, and sometimes the way out lies hidden in extreme danger.
After José's execution, no new items appeared; the timing of the shoes' appearance was too coincidental...
However, trying it rashly is extremely risky, but what if...
Just then, a line of red text, visible only to Lin Feng, quietly appeared before his eyes—
The Dragon Kingdom Tales strategy team used a valuable hint opportunity!
Don't stop him; let him try.
The hint is extremely brief, yet it contains a wealth of information.
Based on massive data analysis, the strategy team made this cold but potentially optimal judgment:
Using a valkyr adventure, we can test the relationship between red objects and pollution, and find a possible solution for a potential large-scale pollution outbreak.
Sacrificing individuals in exchange for valuable intelligence.
Lin Feng paused for a moment, then nodded almost imperceptibly.
If anyone's to blame, it's Wagri himself for not being able to resist turning back.
Moreover, if red high heels really can eliminate pollution, then the risk of multiple people being contaminated can be eliminated on a larger scale.
Just as Lin Feng's thoughts were churning, Wagri suddenly bent down and grabbed the pair of red high heels!
"Look! It didn't attack me!" Wagri said, holding the shoe and panting heavily.
His eyes gleamed with a morbid excitement, as if he had already seen the dawn of salvation.
"I have to try! I absolutely must try! This is my only chance!"
As if possessed, he threw off his shoes without hesitation and forced his feet into a pair of women's high heels that were obviously several sizes too small and could not possibly fit!
The process was extremely painful and difficult; you could even hear a slight "crackling" sound as his foot bones were squeezed and deformed, but he seemed completely oblivious to the pain, his face showing only a frenzied obsession.
Just as he barely managed to squeeze both feet into his high heels—
An anomaly has occurred!
The dark circles under his eyes, which were so thick they seemed impossible to remove, actually faded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wagri felt the cold heaviness on his back seem to lessen, and he burst into ecstatic joy.
He immediately stood up, wearing those tight high heels, and staggered towards the bathroom. He looked at himself carefully in the mirror to make sure his dark circles were really gone.
He rushed back to his seat, looked at Lin Feng, his voice trembling with extreme excitement and elation:
"Look! Mr. Lin Feng! Look! He made the right bet!"
"I knew it! Hahaha!"
"I made the right bet!"
"The pollution is gone!"
"It really was driven away!"
"These shoes are a treasure! They're a lifesaver..."
