Infinite spooky game

Chapter 78 Hopeless Sea ([-]) Implication
The dream was a meaningless blackness, and Zeiss sat boredly in the incorporeal space, staring at the scarlet eyes that penetrated the darkness.

These eyes had become a frequent visitor in his dreams. The evil god's gaze shrouded him from all directions, giving him the uncomfortable feeling of being bathed in the bloody sun.

In the long silence, Qisi casually said in a chatting tone: "Your Excellency the Evil God, what should I call you? God? Original Heavenly Lord? Buddha?"

The fog rolled in the silence, and just when he thought he would not get an answer, a voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of his mind: "The 'deed' of 'contract', this is my name."

The voice was smiling, and everything from the timbre to the way he spoke was very familiar. Qisi's face changed slightly, and his memory instantly touched everything in the copy of "Dialectical Game", spreading like a vine.

"...If you're not used to single-word addresses, you can call me 'Siqi'. These two titles have similar meanings, don't they?" The casual teasing laughter was unhurried, and for a moment, Qisi felt The illusion of having a conversation with yourself.

The bad taste behind him was very clear. He was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows widened and he smiled: "Qi, you are so funny."

"When--" The loud bell pierced through the dream, and the darkness was replaced by a bright background. The scarlet light became farther and farther, and finally disappeared in the mist.

After counting to the fourth bell, Zis opened his eyes and saw the brown wooden ceiling.

He took out the destiny pocket watch from his pocket and took a look at it, and then heard Chang Xu's voice from beside him: "What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning." Qisi moved the hands of his watch and replied with a smile.

Chang Xu didn't doubt his presence, stood up straight and walked towards the door.

Qiss yawned and followed behind. He lowered his head and saw that the floor beside the door had been infected by the water overflowing from outside the house at some point. A large piece of it was soaked and turned into a dark brown color.

But the corridor was clearly dry last night, so how could there be water?
"Something happened." Chang Xu's face darkened and his voice was as cold as ice.

Everyone knew something was wrong.Qisi tsked lightly, took a step forward, and pushed the door open.

The water stains on the floor of the corridor are messy, and a thin layer of water film conveys an uneven and smooth feeling to the vision. The dim light is mottled with streaks, like the tracks left by snakes and insects on the sand.

For no reason, Ziss imagined a group of mucus-covered amphibians migrating together, and the disgusting association made him shudder.

He raised his eyes and saw the diagonally opened doorway. The dilapidated edges showed the fact that it had been forcibly broken open.

The people inside must be in bad luck.

The sudden death was like a surprise gift received on a non-holiday day, and Qiss couldn't help but become excited.

He tried his best to mobilize his muscles to keep his expression calm, and said in a sour voice: "Brother Chang, would you like to go and see it together?"

Before waiting for a reply, he walked straight into the room. The moment he crossed the threshold, it seemed that some kind of barrier was broken, and the smell of blood dissolved in the water vapor hit his face, stimulating his senses.

In front of him was a bloody bed. A pink and white skeleton with hanging strips of meat lay flat on the bed. The blood stained the bed sheets red, making it impossible to see the original color.

Qisi walked over and looked down at the body on the bed.It can be seen from the messy and scattered pieces of meat that the deceased was eaten clean by unknown creatures. It seems that the feast was so generous that the minced meat fell on the floor, and it was so extravagant and wasteful.

Chang Xu silently stepped forward and cast a tall shadow on the corpse.

He pointed to the neat row of tooth marks on the left shoulder of the corpse and said, "The tooth marks indicate that they are human, or some kind of human-like mammal."

"No, it's a fish." Qisi retorted, using two fingers to pick out a thin and bright scale from a pile of flesh and blood, which was shining with silver spots.

He imagined the image of a human-like fish-like monster in his mind, and he was a little ready to move.

I really want to take a look, maybe it can provide some good inspiration...

Chang Xu had no intention of further discussing the species of the murderer. He took a step back, looked around, and analyzed: "The deceased did not show any signs of struggle. He should have died in his sleep."

The calm voice is like a splash of cold water, without warmth.Qisila regained his wandering mind and bent down to pick up a porcelain bowl with a corner missing from the pool of blood on the ground.

"The deceased did not drink the soup sent by Yuna before going to bed. After waking up in the middle of the night, he noticed something strange and hurriedly drank the soup, but it was too late." He said in a retelling tone, as if he was watching the whole thing.

At the end of the sentence, his voice unconsciously brought a smile: "It seems that he was really panicked at the time. He even dropped the bowl and broke it."

When he thought about the full range of fear and despair that the deceased had experienced during his lifetime, Ziss felt happy; but when he thought that he had fallen asleep and could not watch such a tragic scene, he felt that there was nothing to be happy about.

Regret brought loss. The young man suppressed some of his smile, walked over the blood on the ground to the bedside table and the low table, and started rummaging around.

There is no currency left, and no valuable clues can be found. The diary might be a limited edition, who knows?
The excitement was quickly cooled down, and mysophobia took over again. Qisi's eyes were stained with undisguised disgust. He backed out of the door and rubbed the soles of his shoes twice on the water stains on the ground, leaving the blood stained like flowers. It bloomed like a flower, bringing out the bloody aura.

Other players came out one after another. After smelling the smell of blood, they all immediately realized what happened, and their faces were all ugly.

Ziss did not intend to waste any more time on the ugly dead body. He pushed aside the crowds on both sides as if nothing had happened and went down the stairs to the first floor.

Behind him, Chang Xu clicked "auto follow" and followed, as silently as a ghost.

In the lobby on the first floor, breakfast has been prepared. It is a full fish feast just like dinner.

There was no need to be polite as the other players were not around. The two people who arrived early followed the same pattern and swept away the only vegetarian dish.

In the next two minutes, eight or nine players remembered the lessons learned from last night's dinner and hurried downstairs one after another.But they were still a step too late, and could only stare at a table of obviously stale fish with twitching corners of their mouths and gnash their teeth.

Another quarter of an hour later, Lu Li finished checking the body and appeared at the top of the stairs.

He walked to the center of the hall, stood still, and announced his conclusion in a deep voice: "Takagi is dead, and the cause of death was waking up in the middle of the night; Xu Maochun is missing. It seems that he left on his own accord, so the possibility of being trapped by a nightmare cannot be ruled out."

Qisi remembers that Xu Maochun was the backpacker who tried to bargain.He looked very brave, didn't he even drink the soothing decoction?
One player seemed to have thought of something, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to himself: "It seems that as long as you drink the soup sent by Yuna, everything will be fine."

This is also what most players think. Those who survived were thankful that they got the right answer when choosing one of the two choices last night.

Lu Li's face was still solemn, and he said solemnly: "I didn't find a porcelain bowl in Xu Maochun's room. Yuna probably didn't give him a soothing decoction at all."

The meaning behind these words was terrible. The players were not stupid and understood the reason immediately.

——The safety of life and death was out of his control in an instant, and was in the hands of an NPC with high probability of evil intentions.

They murmured.

"As long as you don't offend Yuna, you shouldn't be unable to get the soup, right?"

"Yes, Xu Maochun must have offended Yuna because of his bad attitude..."

"Yes, if I were to listen to him bargaining like that, I would be angry!"

These words are clues for review, but more like seeking recognition and trying to convince myself.

Qisi said nothing, looking vaguely in the direction of the counter.

The beautiful woman in a blue dress stood tall and straight behind the counter, as motionless and silent as a sculpture, maintaining a flawless smile.

She seemed to have no emotions of her own, and seemed to be just wearing a smiling mask.
