Infinite spooky game

Chapter 102: Double Happiness Town ([-]) Soul-Calling Bell

Mrs. Xu's words were full of urging, mixed with traces of palpable malice.

Qi Siruo was unaware and lowered his eyes, pretending to be frightened and said: "Sister-in-law Xu, just take care of yourself and collect the dishes. Don't worry about me. I'll just eat a steamed bun."

"No food can be left in the room." Mrs. Xu said vaguely, and walked to Qisi carrying a bucket.

As if aware that her attitude was a little weird, she added: "You have to put away any leftovers or else rats will grow."

"I will finish it." Qisi's speech became a little unclear because of the steamed bun in his mouth, which made his voice sound much more sincere. "It's just a few steamed buns. It's not enough for me to eat. How can there be any leftovers? Xu Sister-in-law, I wonder if you can leave me another steamed bun for me to eat as a midnight snack?"

Sister-in-law Xu remained silent and her attitude of rejection was extremely clear.

Qisi swallowed the steamed bun in his hand with disappointment, then ate the bun head in small mouthfuls, and finally put the small piece of steamed bun hidden in his pocket into the barrel under Mrs. Xu's gaze.

No matter how dull the players were, they realized that there was something wrong with the food after this experience.Du Xiaoyu ate the most at dinner. At this moment, his originally dark face turned several degrees whiter and turned sallow.

As soon as Mrs. Xu walked away, he came over and asked urgently: "Brother Qi, is there something wrong with dinner? What is the situation?"

Qisi gave a sullen laugh and said, "Eating people who can't kill you should be a clue."

Du Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and pricked up his ears to wait for the next step, when he saw the young man took out a handkerchief from his backpack, wiped the steamed bun residue from the corner of his mouth slowly, turned it over again, and wiped the oil stains on his hands.

His heart started to rise again, and he was scratching his head and head anxiously. Qisi slowly picked up the phone and clicked on the photo interface.

Du Xiaoyu saw an extra photo in the album, which was a close-up of the bell on Mrs. Xu's waist. "Brother Qi, this is..."

"I just secretly photographed it." Qisi skillfully entered the browser, selected the picture, and searched for it through image recognition.

This time the result is no longer a hideous and terrifying ghost bride, but an entry.

[Soul-Calling Bell: Lead the yang soul out of the body, and bring the yin ghost back to yang.Yin and Yang have no boundaries, and the ringing of the bell returns to black and yellow. 】

Chiss placed his phone flat so that the four people surrounding him could see it clearly.

Shang Qingbei thought: "It seems that photos of specific objects can also be searched for useful results, not necessarily the photos sent by Xu Wen."

This is a conclusion that everyone can see.

Liu Bingding said angrily: "You are talking about yin and yang. What do you mean by saying it is so mysterious?"

Li Yao pondered: "I don't know how this copy was set up, but I have read a record in a book."

She paused for a second and said leisurely:

"Wang Sheng was determined to obtain fame and stayed in Kyoto for eighteen years, finally graduating from high school. After returning to his hometown, he learned that his first wife had died six months ago. He was sad and remorseful, but a wandering Taoist priest took pity on him and gave him a gift. A bell.”

"Wang Sheng put the bell on his body. When the bell rang, he saw his wife come back to life. Her voice and smile were the same as before. She swept the court, cooked and made tea, and was as virtuous as in his memory. At first, he suspected that his wife was But after getting along for a long time, I found that my wife was breathing and heartbeating, and she looked completely like a living person, so I gave up my doubts."

"He brought his wife to Kyoto and never had any children, but he never took a concubine. The two lived in love for seven years, and finally died together without any illness, which became a good story."

Li Yao's narration came to an end, and her face became as serious as frost.

Liu Bingding obviously wanted to go together, and looked at the direction in which Mrs. Xu was leaving with a stiff expression.

Shang Qingbei put aside the dictionary in his arms, touched his chin and analyzed: "My wife is a ghost, but because of the function of the soul-calling bell, she behaves almost like a living person. From this, we can infer that Mrs. Xu is also a ghost..."

"Every fool knows that there is no one alive in this town. Didn't Xu Wen say so?" Du Xiaoyu interrupted irritably, "The point is, what happened to the food?"

Shang Qingbei had never been interested in Du Xiaoyu's jobless vagrant before. Now he continued angrily: "Isn't it obvious? The food is not for people to eat. It's just because Mrs. Xu has a soul-calling bell on her body. We She didn’t see any clues. The reason why she wanted to take away the leftovers was because she was afraid that she would leave the range of the summoning bell and expose the problem. "

"Ah? Then we still eat?"

"Eat, you will be hungry if you don't eat, but you won't die if you eat. Wang Sheng will be fine after eating for seven years." After Shang Qingbei finished speaking, he picked up the dictionary again, opened the first page and started reading from "abandon" , just have the words "I am sick of stupidity" written on his face.

Du Xiaoyu looked unhappy, but after looking back and seeing Qisi's comforting eyes, he still didn't start an argument.

He took the phone from Qisi's hand and started taking pictures in all directions, most likely trying his luck to see if he could hit a few keywords.

The other players also spread out and searched every corner of the room, from the mattress to the pillowcases, rummaging very carefully.

With his back to the light, Qisi unfolded the handkerchief that he had previously wiped the corners of his lips. The white cloth was dotted with sporadic blood stains, as if the skin had been pricked with a needle and then imprinted on it.

The sky outside the window has darkened, and the red ribbons and window grilles are connected together, like a sea of ​​blood.

Qisi threw the handkerchief under the bed, stood up and walked to the window, looking towards the west wing.

The bride named "Xi'er" was sitting by the window, grabbing handfuls of meat and vegetables with her hands and stuffing them into her mouth like a wild animal, her mind obviously not clear.

A fool or a madman?However, there seems to be no difference between the two in this situation.

An orphan girl with brain problems was "luckily" selected and married off with great fanfare to please the Goddess of Joy...

Qisi believes that people are all self-interested, and it will never be a good thing if it happens to a girl like this.

He looked at it for a while and felt a little bored, so he lowered his head and looked at the window sill again.

The structure of the window sill is quite unique. The wooden structure protrudes and forms a sharp corner. If it accidentally knocks on it, there is a high probability that it will bleed.

The association touched his vision, and Zeiss noticed that there were lumps of brown on the dark yellow wood.

He took out the razor blade from his bracelet, scraped it off a little, and held it up to his eyes for a closer look.

It didn't take long for him to make a judgment: "There is blood here. It seems that someone died in this room."

"What's going on here?" Liu Bingding came over most attentively and muttered, "If we live here, we won't encounter anything at night, right?"

As he spoke, he handed another makeup mirror to Qisi and said, "Brother Qi, I just found this under the pillow. Is it of any use?"

He had just experienced the mobile phone incident, and now he wanted to hand over everything he found to eliminate the suspicion of "slaughtering streaming players."

Qisi took the mirror and said noncommittally: "As expected, the duration of this dungeon is seven days. It's only the first day now. According to my experience, the main purpose is to collect clues, and the death point must be placed later."

He talked seriously about having no experience at all, and the other four people did not doubt that he was there.

Li Yao pointed to the makeup mirror and said hesitantly: "This is the latest model from Meidu brand. It is equipped with LED lights. It doesn't seem to belong to Shuangxi Town. It should be left by Xu Wen."

Qisi nodded in approval.

"This should be an important clue. It needs to be kept properly. Who should put it there?" He asked casually, but his eyes fell on Li Yao, soft and expectant.

Li Yao almost agreed, but soon realized something was wrong and pursed her lips without making a sound.

Although most of the clues found on the first day were relatively safe and did not necessarily bring any danger, what if?
She knew a lot of supernatural knowledge, but in the end it was just talk on paper. If she was really in danger, she should be cool or not.Qisi seemed to see what she was thinking, and sighed: "I'd better keep it. I have a lot of props, so I have room for maneuver if something goes wrong."

Li Yao nodded quickly, but felt a trace of guilt in her heart for no reason, and looked away from the young man.

Even she herself didn't realize that the vanity mirror was found by Liu Bingding and held by Qisi. It had nothing to do with her and did not necessarily have to be given to her for safekeeping.

It was already dark, there were no lights or candles in the wing, and the players went to bed one after another.

Qisi slept on the middle bed, and Du Xiaoyu and Liu Bingding occupied the two beds next to him.

Li Yao slept against the wall, while Shang Qingbei slept next to Du Xiaoyu, and there was an empty bed on the other side.

The players were all unfamiliar with each other and knew that not being able to sleep at night meant danger, so no one chatted at night. They all wrapped themselves in quilts, covered their heads, and tried their best to induce sleepiness.

In the silence with only the sound of breathing, Qisi played with the makeup mirror in his hand and studied his face.

Although he painted himself messily in the game space, for some reason, what appeared in the mirror was his original face, but it was a bit darker. At first glance, it looked exactly like the photo in the newspaper.

No wonder Du Xiaoyu could recognize it at a glance.

It seems that weird games will not allow players to take advantage of loopholes and use cheaper methods to change their appearance.

Qisi touched his chin and thought, and for no reason he thought of the girl in the previous dungeon who always touched up makeup on her face.

——I don’t know what the point of putting so much effort into makeup is.

Thinking endlessly, Qisi turned on the LED light that came with the makeup mirror, used the light to take out a towel from his backpack, wiped his face and neck, and finished washing.

Then he turned off the light, lay back, and lay down with his clothes on.

Du Xiaoyu on the side showed his eyes from the quilt and looked at him secretly. He happened to catch his actions in his eyes, and his originally uneasy heart became much calmer for a while.

As expected of a boss, he is just as relaxed in the dungeon as he is in reality.With him here, he will definitely be able to lead the team to pass the level smoothly...

The sky was getting darker and darker, and soon it became a pitch black darkness.

The shallow breathing of the players came and went, gradually becoming calmer, and everyone fell into a dream.

Shang Qingbei tossed and turned, not sleeping soundly.

The dream was a mess. One moment, he was being chased by a ferocious-looking ghost, and the next moment, he was sitting in the examination room, unable to answer a single question.

Regurgitating bad memories, the young man woke up from his dream in a daze, and then heard a loud snoring sound.

In the dim light, he saw Du Xiaoyu next to him with his mouth open, snoring, and drooling all over.

What a big-hearted, damn idle adult... Shang Qingbei cursed, twitching the corners of his mouth and turned over, out of sight and out of mind.

Unexpectedly, there was someone sleeping on the other side, with her eyes wide open, facing him, as if staring at him.

His brain shut down for a second, and Shang Qingbei woke up almost immediately.

He clearly remembered that there was Du Xiaoyu on one side of him and an empty bed on the other. How could there be people on both sides?
The danger warning was beating wildly, and he subconsciously held his breath and remained motionless.

Under the faint light that came from nowhere, he could clearly see the person in front of him.

It was a bride wearing a red wedding dress. Her facial features were extremely young, and her face was frighteningly white with a thick layer of powder.

Shang Qingbei opened his mouth and was about to scream.

The bride put her index finger between her lips and said, "Xi'er is afraid... Xi'er hides for a while..."

Xier?

Shang Qingbei thought of Mrs. Xu's words: "Xi'er has something wrong here, she's born with it." '

It turned out to be the orphan girl with mental problems who was about to get married.

He was running around during dinner, which scared him; now he was running around again, and even ran into the room; don't you know how to take care of it?

The person who marries her is also unlucky, and he doesn't know when he will be scared to death.

Shang Qingbei murmured in his heart, but after all, he was under the eaves, so it was hard to say anything.

He moved his sleeping position to lie on his back, and was about to close his eyes again to recharge his batteries.

But suddenly a beam of light came from the side and hit Xi'er, shaking his eyes painfully.

Looking out of the corner of his eye, he followed the beam of light and saw the blue-black claws protruding from under the red wedding dress.

The sharp and long nails are all black, and they are no different from the legendary zombies.

——Xi'er is a ghost!
A conclusion exploded at the bottom of his mind, swallowing up all the composure he had forcibly maintained in a second.

The fear was so extreme that he couldn't make a sound. His screams were stuck in his throat and rolled into a "gurgle" sound.

Shang Qingbei felt that his whole body was frozen and he could not move. He could only move his eyes slightly and instinctively.

He saw that Qiss had sat up from the bed at some point and was holding up a makeup mirror with the LED light turned on to act as lighting.

The source of the light just now was explained, and Shang Qingbei quickly looked at the young man who also woke up at night with a pleading look.

The latter seemed not to notice anything strange at all, his face was as calm as a well water, he got out of bed holding a light source, and walked over leisurely.

"Since you're awake, come and take a look with me." Qisi stretched out his hand to pull the frightened high school student out of bed and dragged him out of the door without any explanation.

The words and actions were too natural, not like the reaction you should have after being awakened at night and encountering a ghost.

Very suspicious!

Shang Qingbei woke up from a dream, quickly withdrew his hand and crawled to the bedside.

He picked up the English dictionary from his pillow and held it in front of him, glaring at the person in front of him warily: "Are you... a human or a ghost?"

The young man with the light behind his back looked at him with some confusion. After a while, he smiled clearly and said with approval: "The vigilance is good."

Then he sneered again and uttered four words: "Weird game."
