Infinite spooky game

Chapter 121 Double Happiness Town (22) is in a urn

When Du Xiaoyu and Shang Qingbei returned to Xi'er's house, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Du Xiaoyu opened the door and saw a woman in a red wedding dress sitting on Li Yao's bed in the room, sobbing softly.

Seeing someone coming back, the woman cried and said, "Liu Bingding is dead... It's my fault. He was caught by those paper figures to save me..."

Shang Qingbei frowned slightly as he listened to Qiqi Aai's cries, feeling that something was not right.

In my memory, Li Yao was calm most of the time, so how could she cry?

But...if you encounter something scary, you might be frightened.

Shang Qingbei maintained a calm attitude and said, "Xu Yao, calm down first and tell us what happened."

He didn't know why he changed his name to "Xu Yao".

However, recalling it carefully, it seems that this teammate is indeed called "Xu Yao". He must have been confused just now and misremembered.

"Yes, Xu Yao, we have been looking for you for a long time, but we can't find you anywhere." Du Xiaoyu helped, "Brother Qi even went down the well just to find trouble."

Xu Yao lowered her head and said: "Liu Bingding and I were sent to Shuangxi Town a hundred years ago. We met many paper figures... They said that I was 'Miss Xu' and Liu Bingding was the county magistrate, and they wanted to catch us... We We ran to the mourning hall together, Liu Bingding stuffed me into the coffin at the last moment, but he..."

She didn't say any more, but the ending was self-evident.Liu Bingding did not come back, only she sat here and survived.

"My condolences." Shang Qingbei comforted him without feeling too much sadness.

It was just a chance encounter, and he didn't have much fondness for that man who was quite humane and sophisticated. At this time, in addition to feeling a little dazed, he also felt a little relieved that there was one less competitor.

Under the "guaranteed death toll" mechanism, there can be no true unity and friendship.

Du Xiaoyu asked: "You entered the coffin, what happened next? How did you come back?"

Xu Yao said hesitantly: "The coffin may be a passage. I fell asleep, opened my eyes again and was sitting here..."

Shang Qingbei pinched his glasses frame and said thoughtfully: "You have triggered the side mission, so you should have obtained clues."

"Yes." Xu Yao nodded and said in a slightly accusatory tone, "We have seen what happened to the Goddess of Joy. She was forced to death by the people in Shuangxi Town... After her death, Shuangxi Town returned to the city every 49 years. Kill a girl and suppress her soul with resentment.”

"Not only that, everyone who knows the secret of Shuangxi Town will be thrown into the well... The Goddess of Joy said that the body of a girl named Xu Wen is at the bottom of the well."

At this point, all the clues are connected.

Xu Wen is dead, at the bottom of the well.

Shang Qingbei looked back at the young man in white shirt leaning against the door and questioned: "Qi Wen, didn't you say you didn't see Xu Wen at the bottom of the well?"

"I really didn't see it." The young man's bluish-white face showed no change in expression. "There are bones at the bottom of the well. I don't know which one is Xu Wen."

Shang Qingbei frowned and was about to say something sarcastic.

The young man walked straight to the bed in the middle, took out a set of white shirts from his backpack, lifted the quilt to cover his whole body, and changed under the quilt.

After changing, he rubbed the wet shirt he had changed and threw it to the bottom of the bed. Then he lay down on the bed wrapped in a quilt and closed his eyes.

When Du Xiaoyu turned around, he saw that the young man was about to fall asleep, and he couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with you? It's only the afternoon..."

The young man turned over, looking like he was sleeping peacefully and didn't want to talk to anyone.

Shang Qingbei's mouth twitched. He felt that "Qisi" acted strangely and was very weak after he came up from the well. He most likely encountered something underground and was injured.

But, why not tell the truth?Is it to hide clues, or to "save face and suffer the consequences"?
Shang Qingbei shook his head, took out the yellow scripture paper with the rules written on it from his arms, handed it to Xu Yao, and said, "We found the rules of this copy."

Xu Yao took the scripture paper and started reading it with some doubts.She seemed to have some difficulty reading it, and she read it very slowly. She didn't finish it in half a day.

Shang Qingbei was unaware and continued: "Tonight we will go out to explore and find a way out of Shuangxi Town; tomorrow morning we will go down the well again and find Xu Wen's bones. I don't know which one is hers, so I will bring them all..."

……

"I came to Shuangxi Town because I wanted to find someone."

In the underground world, the sound of wind outside the door gradually died down, and the mournful sound of the suona sounded again. Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "They are gone, let's go to the Temple of Mourning quickly."

As if she was afraid of Qisi's questioning, she added: "There is no coffin coming today, so we can't leave. We can only go to the temple to take shelter first."

Qisi was a little cold due to the wind earlier, so he huddled in the corner and waited. Now he stood up and asked Xu Wen's first sentence: "Who are you here for?"

Xu Wen pushed open the door and looked back at Qisi with complicated eyes: "I came to find my sister, she was missing. They investigated for a long time but couldn't find her, so I came to look for her myself."

Qisi thought of the newspaper clipping he saw in Xi'er's room, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you found it now?"

"Maybe she was found. Maybe I had a dispute with them because I found her... But I can't take her away... I won't remember any more." Xu Wen's voice lowered.

She stopped looking back and walked ahead to lead the way. Qiss followed, and suddenly felt that the plot development was somewhat in line with the routine of a bloody horror movie.

Xu Wen found someone to help her get in, so she asked for help from the characters played by four players. The four folklore investigators were really on call and boarded the pirate ship together.

Qisi raised his eyes and looked at the gray sky, his sense of humor reviving at an inappropriate time: "Well, now that we are all trapped here, I don't know if we can still shake people."

Xu Wen did not respond.

She was silent for a long time and then asked quietly: "Do you want to know the secret about Double Happiness Town?"

The two of them stood on the street, one behind the other, with white walls and black tiles obscured by fog on both sides. They were crowded and surrounded by dusty ghost figures.

Chiss lowered his eyes and said coldly: "You can just say what you want to say."

He was a little hypothermic from being scratched by the ghost, so he put his hands in his pockets to keep warm, which was better than nothing.

Xu Wen turned her back to him and spoke softly: "As early as 20 years ago, there was no Shuangxi Town. The whole town disappeared overnight, as if it had never existed, leaving only a dry well in the middle of the flat land. Residue.”

"Walking around the ruins of the town, you can often see the shadows of houses and people, and hear people's voices. Therefore, some people say that Shuangxi Town is 'hidden' and has become a ghost beating the wall."

The two of them walked a long way without knowing it. The fog became thicker and thicker, making it difficult to see the houses on both sides.

Suddenly, a large temple appeared in front of it. It was similar to the Temple of Joy on the ground, with two entrances.

The temple has the same color scheme as an ordinary house, with white walls and black tiles. Two white paper lanterns hang under the eaves, with the word "mourning" written on them in black writing.

That is probably the Temple of Mourning.

Qisi stopped at a distance and asked: "In other words, Shuangxi Town is a ghost town?"

"It's hard to say." Xu Wen grabbed Qisi's wrist and led him forward, "Most of the people in the town are no different from living people. They have body temperature, are afraid of ghosts, and eat, drink, and defecate, so they shouldn't be ghosts. It’s like they are trapped at a certain point in time, their physiological state is fixed, and they are immortal.”

Xu Wen's hand was so strong that it hurt Qi Si's wrist and he couldn't shake it off. It was like a wooden shackle used to escort a prisoner to his destination.

Qisi expected that his wrist must have been pinched and bruised, and it was still ugly, like a corpse stain.

He stared at the back of Xu Wen's slender and white neck, and began to miss the bracelet and blade he gave to his body again.You should keep one piece by your side and give it to Xu Wen at the right time. Even if you can't kill her, it can at least make her feel uncomfortable for a while, right?

Just thinking about it endlessly, Qisi let Xu Wen pull him forward, and commented with interest: "It sounds like they have achieved the immortality that many people expected. But I have been in contact with them. , it doesn’t look like they have lived for so many years.”

Xu Wen said: "Because they have no memory of eternal life. They are forever trapped in the seven-day reincarnation, repeating the crimes of their lives over and over again, just like the NPCs in the game."

"NPC?" Qisi narrowed his eyes at her, "It seems you know a lot."

Xu Wen chuckled lightly, shook out a piece of broken glass from her cuffs without warning, and placed it on the side of Qisi's neck: "Yes, I know a lot of things, player."

The last word was like a boulder falling into a puddle, with a loud impact.

As an NPC, Xu Wen is aware of the player's existence; her behavior is obviously interfered with by some force, so that it breaks away from the design of the dungeon itself...

"Have you prayed to Him? Or are you not Xu Wen?" Qisi blinked in pretense of surprise.

Xu Wen did not answer, but continued talking by herself: "They involved the pedestrians passing by into the town, and then trapped the pedestrians inside, and even their souls could not be freed."

"Obviously they no longer belong to this world, but they still continue the customs of weddings and funerals, taking innocent girls, and then killing them cruelly..."

"The body of the deceased sank at the bottom of the well, turning into one of the ghosts, repeating itself over and over again, without ever being freed."

The cries of ghosts began gradually, mixed with desperate and unwilling cries.

Ghostly figures emerged from the mist again. Men, women, old and young, dressed in costumes belonging to various eras, were obviously people who had been captured by Double Happiness Town.

Listening to the noisy sounds, Qiss did not feel any sympathy, but instead felt irritated.

However, he still extracted key information from Xu Wen's words: this copy involves time mechanisms, which are similar to the background of "Rose Manor".

The purpose of looping through the Rose Manor again and again is to keep the players and bury them in the garden; what is this copy trying to do?

"I want to end this." Xu Wen suddenly became serious and said every word.

She held Qisi and stood in front of the temple of mourning. She didn't know whether it was because of excitement or some other reason, but her hands were shaking a little.

The broken glass scratched Qisi's neck, leaving a trail of blood and drops of blood.

The wide-open temple door was filled with a strong chill. Qisi was a little stiff from the cold, and for a while he couldn't feel much pain.

He glanced into the temple and saw the white candles evenly distributed on both sides of the aisle and the statue of the god in black clothes and golden eyes in the shrine.

The statue has an unfamiliar face, with an indifferent expression, neither joy nor sorrow.But for a moment, Qisi felt that he had seen him somewhere before.

Thousands of people with thousands of faces, no self and all living beings, he couldn't tell for a moment whether it really aroused the memory buried deep in the memory, or whether the brain was induced to use countless fragments to splice an illusion.

The blood drops on his neck seeped into the collar and wetted a small piece of clothing. Qisi's eyes fell on the incense in front of the statue.

Three gods and four ghosts, a total of three sticks of incense were placed on the incense burner. It looked like they had just been lit, but only one of them was burned.

Xu Wen's face changed to a pious and solemn look. She pressed broken glass against Qisi's neck with one hand and pushed him into the temple with the other.

"How do you want this to end?" Zeiss asked.

He moved his eyes and saw that there were also coffins placed in the ear room on the left side of the Temple of Death, but there was only one pair.

The style of the coffin was very different from that in the Temple of Joy. The dark surface was engraved with golden vine patterns, which made Qiss think of the appearance design of the [Weird Game Invitation] for no reason.

After looking at it for two seconds, the patterns on the coffin seemed to swim, rising out of the surface of the coffin and turning into golden shadows stretching in the air.

Qis suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, as if those vines were cutting into his soul, tightening his heart, and binding his whole body.

An instinctive fear arises spontaneously, like a drop of rosin wrapping an ant on a tree trunk. A spiritual animal has a premonition of its own death.

Death, inevitable death, is the inevitable outcome that is already doomed and written in destiny...

There is no road ahead, and in the last moment there is only a handful of fine sand in the hourglass...

【warn!God-level creation appears in the copy (data deleted)... Error!Danger! 】

Scarlet writing was distorted on the system interface, and the wrong interface instantly occupied most of the field of vision.

In the messy red, Qisi heard a "bang" and trembled uncontrollably.

The door of the Temple of Death was closed, and the shattered thoughts splashed huge waves in the ocean of thoughts.

Xu Wen dropped the piece of glass in her hand, stepped away, and said, "God promised me that if I kill you, everything will be over."

She lowered her eyes and looked at Qisi, who was arching his back in pain, with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Qiss wanted to laugh at this old routine of dealing with the evil god, but he couldn't laugh at all.

Physiological fear is difficult to suppress, arousing feelings of coldness and nausea, tingling of blood vessels in the forehead, and difficulty breathing.

The shadow of the vines on the coffin was getting closer and closer, and the moment it wrapped around Qisi's limbs, it suddenly took on physical form.

Golden light surges on the slender branches, making them resemble the legendary chains that seal evil spirits.

"Should I call you stupid or something? Can a god who can make such a request really trust his promise?" Qisi's teeth were trembling, but his words were still clear.

Xu Wen smiled and said: "Even if there is a one in [-] chance, sacrificing just one of you will give you a chance to save everyone. You should try it no matter what."

"It's this kind of utilitarianism that sacrifices the few to save the many, sacrifices the present to save the future..." Qisi was dragged inch by inch towards the coffin by the vines, and the thought bubbles in his mind exploded, making the sound of shattering glass. The soft sound.

His vision was blurry: "I'm curious as to why you take it for granted that I should sacrifice."

Xu Wen said: "Because you are controlled by me and have no choice."

"The theory of the jungle?" Qisi raised his eyelids, still unable to see the scene in front of him clearly, but the corners of his lips raised slightly, "It is really contradictory to believe in the law of the jungle, but still shout about saving the world..."

"I just want to save myself." Xu Wen said, her voice so distant that it seemed to be coming from outside. "I originally wanted to kidnap you morally, but I didn't expect you to have no morals."

She spoke seriously and her tone was cold and cold, completely different from her previous behavior.

Or maybe she didn't speak at all, and the voice only existed in Zeiss's imagination.

But it is undeniable that this answer is satisfactory.

Chiss smiled, sincerely.

He relaxed his body and allowed the vines to drag him into the coffin and wrap him tightly around the bottom of the cold sarcophagus.

Then, the coffin lid fell down, leaving only darkness in front of him...
