Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

I suddenly have a stomachache. Sorry, you can play by yourself first.

After finding an excuse to send Niu Kailang away, Zhu Zheng returned home alone.

Grandparents haven't come back yet.

I don’t know what the two old people are busy with. They left since the morning and have not returned until now.

But this is good, it will make it easier for Zhu Zheng to take action.

Come to your room.

Stuff the [Midnight Butcher's Skull Crushing Hammer] into a special large schoolbag and carry it on your back.

The heavy feeling brought by the skull-crushing hammer made Zhu Zhengan feel a lot relieved.

Step out of the door again.

Following his memory, he went to Granny Zhi's funeral parlor, but met an acquaintance on the road.

Anna, why are you carrying such a big schoolbag?

The handsome uncle was wandering around the Burial Temple at this time, with a look on his face that he wanted to enter but didn't dare.

Seeing Loli carrying an extra-large schoolbag and walking like a snail, she immediately stepped forward curiously and asked.

Zhu Zheng's eyes lit up.

Just when I was thinking that I was missing a teammate who would be responsible for pathfinding, lookout, human shield, decoy, etc., the handsome uncle appeared automatically.

Really a tool man.

So he pretended to be mysterious and said: I discovered a secret, which may be related to the disappearance of the villagers. Are you interested in taking action together?

Well...so fast...

The handsome uncle immediately pondered, Is there any danger?

It seems that in addition to some gossip, the handsome uncle also has a special trait.

Coward.

Zhu Zheng said with a smile: It's just an empty room. A little girl like me dares to enter. Do you think there is any danger?

The handsome uncle thought so, so he slapped his thigh and said impassionedly: Okay, let's do it.

The two formed a temporary team.

On the way, Zhu Zheng briefly explained the matter.

Of course, he deliberately concealed a lot of shocking information, only saying that the paper figures might contain clues about the missing persons.

The handsome uncle was eager to start an investigation immediately.

Follow a dirt road.

After walking for about ten minutes, Granny Zhi's funeral parlor appeared in front of me.

The funeral parlor is surrounded by abandoned cottages with no one living there, and there are several old locust trees planted in front of the house. Their branches and leaves are so dense that they almost form a whole, blocking out the sunlight.

Although the sun was shining brightly at this time, one could still feel the chill while standing under the locust tree.

Coupled with the funeral parlor itself, it makes the place look a bit spooky.

The handsome uncle immediately lost his composure.

He pointed to the funeral parlor and said, Is the paper man you mentioned here?

Don't worry, it just looks scary, but it's actually very safe.

Zhu Zheng patted his chest and promised.

The two were near the funeral home.

The door was closed, and an old-fashioned lock hung on the door.

Zhu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Niu Kailang's information was correct, Granny Zhi had indeed left the village.

Ann, Anna.

Otherwise, let's forget it. I don't know why, but I always have an unknown feeling.

Perhaps due to the influence of the surrounding environment, the handsome uncle's speech became awkward.

It's just a psychological effect. You see, I don't feel better at all. We have to start taking action. We first need to enter the room.

But there is a lock on the door. Should we try to climb in through the window, or I should go home and get the lockpicking tools.

Zhu Zheng was surprised: You still have this thing?

The handsome uncle said: As a serious reporter, who doesn't go out with a set of lock picking tools?

Good professional practice but no need to go to such trouble.

Zhu Zheng reached out and pinched the lock.

The super force burst out, directly breaking the lock and deforming it, and the door was opened almost silently.

Violent lock picking method.

Is this okay? The handsome uncle's jaw dropped in shock.

Well, we don't have much time, so there's no need to worry too much.

There are less than two days left before triggering the plot kill, so you must act quickly.

Moreover, there is no surveillance installed in Zangling Village.

As long as she wasn't caught red-handed, the old lady wouldn't know who picked the lock on her house.

In summary.

Zhu Zheng chose the simplest and crudest method.

Go in, the paper man hiding the key information is inside.

The handsome uncle shook his head.

While frowning, he muttered: Sure enough, the future life is to be feared...

Under the guidance of Zhu Zheng, he acted as a pathfinder.

Soon, the handsome uncle's voice came from the room: Why are there no paper figures in the house?

Zhu Zheng was a little stunned and followed him into the funeral parlor.

The layout of the room was much the same as what he had seen last night.

There was a four-legged wooden table in the middle, several sets of iron shelves placed against the wall, and several cardboard boxes scattered on the floor.

Look inside again.

The deep darkness I saw last night was actually a room without a door.

And looking from where he was standing, he could vaguely see a wooden bed and bedding.

It looks like this is where Granny Paper sleeps.

Since it was daytime, the sunlight shone in through the window, instantly dispelling the mysterious atmosphere that shrouded the room.

The aura of terror faded away, and this was just an ordinary cottage.

It was natural to look at one of the corners.

Well, why is the paper man missing? Did the village chief lead people to move the paper man away in advance?

Zhu Zheng was more or less disappointed.

After all, in his opinion, paper figures are the most closely related place between funeral parlors and funeral rites.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zheng said: Check the room carefully, maybe we can have other clues.

The handsome uncle also became bolder at this time.

He walked alone to the shelves nearby and rummaged through them.

Zhu Zheng also abandoned his distracting thoughts and joined the search team.

In this way, the two of them spent a very short time rummaging through the funeral shop and stood back on their feet.

After a brief exchange, it was determined that there were two suspicious places.

1. Shelves.

In addition to urns, the goods on the shelves also contained many strange shadow puppet props, and there were strange Bodhisattva patterns tattooed on the backs of the props, which were suspected to be related to the burial of the statue.

2. Bedside table.

In the old woman's bedroom, the bedside table was locked with an exquisite golden lock. This behavior was very suspicious.

Just when Zhu Zheng was thinking about where to start, the handsome uncle tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Did you hear the sound?

Zhu Zheng was stunned: What is the sound?

Seeing that the handsome uncle's face was extremely ugly, he calmed down and listened.

A strange and ethereal sound came out.

In July and a half, the bride gets married, and her relatives and friends cry heartbrokenly.

Wear a wedding dress made of paper, and you will never see your lover again.

It's a scary nursery rhyme.

And judging from the sound, it should have come from two children at the same time.

The sounds overlapped together, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Zhu Zheng frowned.

You know, he just finished checking the room.

You can be sure that there is no one else in the room except yourself.

Not to mention children.

The handsome uncle shrank behind Zhu Zheng and said in a trembling voice: Is this room haunted?

How could it be haunted in broad daylight?

As he said that, Zhu Zheng looked in the direction of the sound.

In the slightly dim space of the old grandma's bedroom, there were two short translucent shadows standing inside, staring at him.

Horrible nursery rhymes are uttered from their mouths.
