Twenty minutes passed quickly, and when Chi Nan and Pei Mo came out of the basement, the bell of the main building struck exactly three o'clock.
As Chi Nan expected, at three o'clock, those eager children came out of the orphanage one after another, but this time no one played hide-and-seek with them. In order to avenge the bite, Pei Mo even carried The water gun chased the ghost child all the way. Since entering the nightmare world, he has never been so cheerful as today.
Swapping positions with the ghost was so damn relieved. During the one-armed water gun chase, he even found a romance that belonged to a middle-aged man.
It wasn't until he almost bumped into Jiang Yu, who was approaching, because he was chasing the ghost child.
"All rooms on the second floor are locked, we only opened three rooms 213, 209, and 205." Jiang Yu said.
Chi Nan quickly noticed these room numbers: "They are all our house numbers in the motel."
Jiang Yu nodded: "That's right, only clues that can be dug deep were found in 213. There was nothing in 209 and 205. I predicted that 201 would be in the same situation, so I didn't continue to unlock the lock, and I rushed over to gather when it was almost time."
After all, 213 is Chi Nan's room number. The plot line of the orphanage is designed according to Chi Nan's character. It is unlikely that other room numbers have clues.
Pei Mo hurriedly asked, "What is the clue you found?"
Jiang Yu's face sank: "The windows of 213 are not sealed. We found that there is a large cemetery to the north of the welfare home."
"cemetery?"
Lu Baizhou: "There are about a thousand tombstones. Jiang Yu and I roughly flashed a few tombstones nearby with a flashlight, and found that these tombstones did not write the name of the deceased, nor posted photos, only some trivial and vague information. Whether or not his brother's body is there, even if it is, without a name or photo, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find his grave."
Jiang Yu's face was heavy: "Now we actually only have one hour left, it is impossible to dig all the graves to verify one by one."
Chi Nan asked: "Is there any date of birth and death written on the tombstone?"
Jiang Yu thought for a while: "I remember writing this in quite a bit of detail."
After a pause, she turned to Chi Nan: "By the way, have you found any useful clues here?"
"There is my character's body in the basement, and a photo of him when he committed suicide," Chi Nan took out the photo and handed it to the crowd, adding, "I also took some candles, which can be used when looking for the grave later. ."
"Photo?" Jiang Yu took the photo and looked at it carefully for a moment, his eyes lit up, "There's a birthday on it!"
Chi Nan nodded: "Yes, the day my brother died happened to be his nineteenth birthday, we only need to find the deceased on the tombstone whose birth and death date is October 31st and the age of nineteen is basically correct. If there is an overlap. The tombstone of the two can be dug together in time."
"Go, don't delay, go to the utility room to get the props!" With a clue, Jiang Yu hurriedly led everyone to the utility room, but the utility room had already been moved empty, leaving only a ladder and a few bundles rope.
Lu Baizhou pouted: "What are you doing, why don't you even have a shovel?" Digging a grave without a shovel would be a lot of trouble.
Chi Nan picked up the ladder and walked to the second floor, Jiang Yu followed behind with the rope: "Let's go down to the cemetery to find the corresponding tombstone first, if it doesn't work, the four of us have eight hands, and the corpse will have to be planed out by the stupid method of planing. "
Everyone: "… "
Chi Nan carried the ladder to 213, and when Jiang Yu and the others fixed the ladder, they carefully searched the room again.
The quilts of the same color on the iron frame bed are neatly folded. The clothes in the cabinet are basically of the same style. Two pieces are prepared. There is a large full-length mirror in the bathroom. The traces of the twin brothers' lives seemed normal, but a small box of cosmetics on the desk caught Chi Nan's attention.
Something similar appeared in the boy's dormitory, which was a bit unexpected, but Chi Nan quickly had an idea.
He turned to Jiang Yu and Lu Baizhou: "Is the vanity box already in the house?"
"Yes", Lu Baizhou touched his pocket: "mine is here."
Chi Nan nodded and opened the vanity case. Inside were a box of concealer powder, an eyebrow pencil, a few disinfectant tissues, and a box of colored contact lenses.
He looked at it for a moment, then closed the vanity case and put it in his pocket.
The group climbed down through the fixed escalator. After landing, Chi Nan distributed the candles to the hands of the people without flashlights and lit them one by one.
Jiang Yu quickly counted the layout of the cemetery: "There are sixteen rows of tombstones, how about we find four rows for each person first?"
"No problem." After the allocation, everyone took their own lighting equipment and lay on the ground to search for tombstones whose birth and death dates were October 31, and the years were nineteen years apart.
Under the condition of insufficient lighting, the large and fast search work consumes a lot of eyesight and energy. Jiang Yu has roughly looked at hundreds of tombstones, and her eyes are blurred and her temples are aching. When the bell rang at four o'clock in the morning, I was so frightened that I continued to look for it.
Over there, Lu Baizhou was too tired to keep refreshing himself, while Pei Mo used swearing to relieve himself.
"Damn, you said that those ghost children ran out of the cemetery?" Pei Mo muttered, "I'm getting old, and my eyes are really hard to use, and I look slow..."
Jiang Yu's patience has been almost exhausted by these tombstones, and his tone is not good at this moment: "Be quiet! Don't make a sound!"
Pei Mo had to shut up embarrassingly, and after a while, he spoke swear words to relieve his boredom.
Chi Nan's eyes have better night vision than ordinary people, and his search work is twice as fast as others. Just after 4:30, he has already searched all the tombstones within his range.
"I'm done here," Chi Nan synchronized his progress, "I haven't seen a tombstone engraved with the corresponding information for the time being."
Jiang Yu was about to say that if his eyes could bear it, he could help Pei Mo, who was the slowest, complete some search work.
But before she could say anything, Chi Nan consciously walked to Pei Mo's search range and quickly browsed from the last row.
After another ten minutes, Chi Nan suddenly stood up straight: "I found it."
His tone has never been ups and downs, but these words made the three people in the cemetery with sore necks and swollen eyes feel like they were being forgiven, and they all straightened their necks and asked, "Really?!"
Chi Nan looked at the tombstone: "The date of birth is October 31, 4385, and the date of death is October 31, 4404. The dates match, and they are exactly nineteen years apart."
The makers in the copy seem to be very concerned about the sense of form and unity. Even the death year of the important clue npc is specially arranged in 4404, which has built a wonderful connection with the 404 road, the 4040404 phone number, and the license plate of EM00404.
Chi Nan has always liked the beauty of symmetry and neatness, and expressed appreciation for such detailed design, but felt that the birthday arrangement on October 31 was a bit of a failure.
April 04th birthday and death date may be perfect, he thought, if it was You Yu, he might be able to do it.
The crowd quickly gathered around and looked at the tombstone locked by Chi Nan no more than three times: "It should be right!"
"But... do we really want the four of us to plan by hand now?" Lu Baizhou's eyes flashed a little reluctance.
The air was silent for a moment, Jiang Yu gritted his teeth: "There is nothing else..."
Just then, the bell struck five in the morning.
"We're running out of time, hurry up..."
Chi Nan: "I don't need to dig it out with our own hands, I have a way."
"Ah?" Everyone looked over in surprise, but no one could keep up with his thoughts.
Chi Nan looked at the ghost children who were never late, who would not grow wise after eating a bite, and who stood by the window and grinned at them: "They may be good laborers."
"what???"
Chi Nan picked up the rope on the ground: "Let's go upstairs and catch some ghost children. The ropes left by the dream maker on purpose must be useful."
So in the next ten minutes, four adults went up the escalator to the main building again, and the orphanage was filled with ghost children who wanted to play hide-and-seek with water guns.
From Pei Mo's previous experience in actual combat, everyone had a general understanding of how much water could make the ghost children stop in place and unable to move, and then tied them up and dragged them to the 213 window one by one, and collected twenty or thirty of them, and then they would face each other together. throw.
The ghosts are really light, and there is no sound when dozens of them are bundled and thrown down, but the sound of their wailing is a bit noisy.
Chi Nan and Jiang Yu dragged the ghost children to the tombstone of their younger brother, Pei Mo and Lu Baizhou stood to the left and right with water guns, and the guns pointed at the shivering ghost children: "You limit this cemetery within five minutes. Throw it away, or I won't be blamed for shooting."
Pei Mo is very satisfied with his on-the-spot performance. He thinks he looks like a big brother on the road. This is simply the highlight of his middle-aged career.
However, in the eyes of others, his flamboyant appearance is very much like a greasy little brother who hugs his thighs.
These simple and pitiful ghost children obviously can understand human words. When they heard Pei Mo say this, and saw the water gun aimed at them, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and went crazy with their hands, feet, mouth and digging the ground. , the flying grass and soil look like a fast-moving planer.
Everyone: "..." They had forgotten that this was a horrible nightmare.
Pei Mo didn't forget to shoot a water gun into the sky like the villain in the TV series: "Hurry up!"
Jiang Yu, who was drenched in the shower, rolled his eyes to the sky: "...don't get nervous!"
Pei Mo in the bright moment had to stand up straight and shut up.
These ghost 'child laborers' were terrified, they went all out to dig the soil, and it took less than five minutes to dig three feet in the ground. Their sharp nails scratched against something hard, making a screeching sound.
Jiang Yu hurriedly looked for it with his flashlight. When he saw the black coffin under the thin soil, he was so excited that he unconsciously raised his voice: "It's the coffin! It's dug up!"
"Hurry up and get the coffin up! Hurry up! Otherwise, you will be spoiled!" Pei Mo gave orders to the children, and the children, under the domination of fear, worked tirelessly and quickly dragged the coffin to the ground according to the instructions.
When they were finished, they were ordered to stand in a line in the oak forest behind the cemetery and wait for further instructions.
Jiang Yu looked at the coffin, so nervous that her breathing changed her rhythm. She looked at Chi Nan respectfully: "Do you want to open the coffin now?"
"Open." Chi Nan had already bent down and put his hands on the coffin board. The coffin board was not sealed or heavy, so he lifted the lid easily.
A dusty and decadent smell rushed to the face, but what everyone could not expect was that the coffin was empty, not even a single bone.
It was already 5:30, the center of the sky was faintly leaking a light, and it was almost dawn.
To be precise, the total solar eclipse is about to disappear.
"What's going on? Did we find the cemetery wrong? Or is our inference wrong from the beginning?!" Lu Baizhou panicked and his facial features were distorted, and his words were incoherent, "There is no time, why don't we withdraw first? Any way to climb the wall and climb the door is fine, as long as we can get out... We won't be able to leave after the sun is completely bright!"
Jiang Yu disagreed: "What's the point of leaving now? After missing the crack point of the orphanage, we may never be able to make up for it. As long as one of the four of us fails to complete the redemption, this car will go to hell!"
"Then what to do?! There's still half an hour left, and it's only ten minutes if you triple it! If you can't find a body, you can't find it! Are we waiting here to die!"
"It's not until the last minute, how do you know that you can't? And how do you know that you can really walk by climbing the wall?!"
Seeing that the two girls were about to quarrel, Pei Mo ducked to the side, Chi Nan calmly said, "It's only the last step."
"What?" The two girls looked over at the same time, puzzled.
Chi Nan took out the makeup box in his pocket and opened it quickly, because Tang Yu dressed him up as a woman in the "Mosaic School", and he knew some makeup steps.
He first wiped his hands with a disinfectant tissue, then put the black contact lenses into his eyes, and used a concealer to wipe off the tear moles on both sides of his eyes, just like in the fragments of a dream, his brother's character often looks in the mirror when he has a nervous breakdown. .
In less than two minutes, Chi Nan reflected in the mirror has changed into the appearance of 'You Yu', and the elder brother has become the younger brother.
Everyone was dumbfounded watching Chi Nan put on makeup, until Chi Nan took the initiative to lie down in the coffin: "please close the lid of the coffin for me, thank you."
Not everyone is like You Yu, who can cooperate with him without a word.
Although Jiang Yu couldn't understand it, she trusted Chi Nan and did as she was told. Over there, Pei Mo was already standing by the escalator, planning to rush to the gate of the orphanage when something went wrong.
When the coffin lid was closed, separating the coffin and the cemetery into two worlds, Chi Nan closed his eyes in the closed darkness and counted silently in his heart—
one two Three…
[Congratulations to the four guests for finding the "younger brother's corpse" and obtaining an important item "younger brother's corpse". Now the door of the orphanage is open. Please leave the orphanage within five minutes. Thank you again for spending time with the children. had a great game night]
The ghost child standing in front of the oak forest: "..." We are not, we do not have!
The intermittent sound of the broadcast made the three of them almost jump up in excitement. Jiang Yu immediately opened the lid of the coffin for Chi Nan. The moment Chi Nan walked out of the coffin, he did not forget to wave to the ghost child behind him: "Thank you. help, bye."
Children: "..." It's better not to see each other.
The four quickly climbed to the second floor and rushed to the gate of the orphanage within three minutes with a sprint of 1,000 meters.
The iron gate that had been closed was wide open, waiting for them to leave.
[Thank you again for coming, hope you will enjoy this special night]
The moment they stepped out of the orphanage, the dream maker conveyed their final blessings through the radio, and in the next instant, the radio went off after a while, and the door of the orphanage closed again.
The devoured sun once again shone its light on the endless wilderness, and the sun was scorching hot.
Jiang Yu panted: "I have a question."
Lu Baizhou: "I have many questions."
Jiang Yu: "Let me start by saying...the radio said to get an important item "younger brother's corpse", but where is the corpse now? "
This question is very beautiful.
The 'driver' sitting in the driver's seat couldn't wait to honk his horn. He stuck his head out of the car window and waved to everyone: "Here."
When Chi Nan saw the 'driver' clearly, he subconsciously rubbed his temples, still expressionless.
It turned out that the younger brother cheated.
