This ancient town is called Wulin Ancient Town. The middle-aged man is one of the tour guides responsible for receiving tourists in the ancient town. People who know him call him Lin Laojiu, which is said to be because he is the ninth cousin in his family.
Lin Laojiu led them through several streets and came to a remote alley.
There is a hotel called Xiaoqiao Inn in the alley, which is where the players stay.
Xiaoqiao Inn is a three-story building. There is a small garden at the entrance, with rockeries and flowing water, paved with bluestone slabs, which is very artistic. The first floor is the lobby, kitchen and staff lounge, and the second and third floors are guest rooms.
Lin Laojiu took the key from the staff and handed it to them. "You booked a double room, there are seven rooms in total..." He looked at it and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say fourteen people?"
The players looked at each other and realized that there should be fourteen players coming in this time, and the one who didn't come should have died in the ancient house.
Chai Yingying smiled and replied, "Oh, he went to visit the ancient town and will be back soon."
Lin Laojiu did not suspect anything and asked them to come and get the keys.
After distributing the keys, Lin Laojiu said with a smile, "The town is the busiest at 7pm. There are not only delicious food but also many activities. You can go and have a look. But after dark, don't leave the town. The ancient town is geographically remote, there are not many residents around, and there are only wild mountains and wilderness nearby. If you get lost, you won't be able to get back."
This sounds like a kind reminder.
The player nodded.
After giving instructions on precautions, Lin Laojiu left and said that he would come again at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and that if there was anything, they could call him on his cell phone.
After watching Lin Laojiu leave, the players looked for the room by looking for the key.
Gu Jiu and his room were at the end of the second floor. There was a window at the end of the corridor. The window was wide open and standing in front of it, one could see the deep alley outside.
She stood at the window and looked out.
Chai Yingying came over and looked outside as well, saying, "This ancient town of Wulin is quite big, with three main streets that are winding and winding, but the accommodation is quite remote."
This is generally the case in ancient towns, and the hotels where tourists stay are mostly located in relatively remote places.
Jiang Ze thought deeply, "The players' activities are quite large, but I don't know what kind of death notice will come next."
Chai Yingying glanced at him and said weakly, "Jiang Xiaoze, don't make sarcastic remarks while I'm enjoying the scenery."
"Sister Chai, you've changed. You never said such things before." Jiang Ze pretended to be shocked. "Every time at this time, you are more active in looking for clues than us."
Chai Yingying rolled her eyes at him, "What clues are you looking for? This ancient town looks quite normal. I guess there are no clues. We should look for the information on the phone. We'll look for it whenever the information comes."
Lu Ji opened the door with the key.
This door is very characteristic of the ancient town. It is a copper lock with a bolt inside, which makes people feel very unsafe.
After checking the door lock, Chai Yingying said to Jiang Ze, "Xiao Ze, remember to be alert when you go to bed at night. This door doesn't look strong."
"It's no use being strong. No matter how strong the door is, it can't keep out ghosts." Jiang Ze reminded her that based on what they encountered when they entered the game world this time, there was no telling how many man-eating ghosts there were.
That’s true!
Chai Yingying agreed and no longer worried about whether the door was sturdy or not.
After entering the room, Gu Jiu wanted to change out of her wedding dress.
Although this wedding dress is very beautiful, Gu Jiu doesn't want to continue wearing it when she thinks that it was a ghost who helped her put it on and she doesn't even know what it is.
When Lu Ji saw that she changed it immediately, his expression improved a lot and he diligently helped her find clothes to change.
Seeing her taking off her clothes in front of him, he turned away embarrassedly.
Gu Jiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Before I knew you were a man, you looked at me many times. What is there to be shy about?"
Lu Ji's voice was muffled: "Have you ever done this in front of other girls before?"
"What?" She teased him deliberately.
"Just take off your clothes..."
"We are all girls. They have what I have, so it's nothing."
I knew she would say that. Lu Ji was very depressed, but he also knew that he could not get involved in her past. He could only look to her present and future.
So he said in a bossy manner: "Don't do this again in the future."
Just as he finished speaking, he felt someone leaning towards him from behind, clinging to his back as softly as if she had no bones. Lu Ji was afraid that she would fall, so he reached out to support her. Her touch was soft and delicate, like the finest silk, and his whole body froze.
"Aji, why don't you look at me?" she asked in a tender voice.
Lu Ji slowly put his arm around her and turned around, his eyes fixed on her face, not daring to move down.
The person in her arms was smiling, extremely gentle and beautiful, but that couldn't hide her bad nature. She knew that he couldn't resist her, but she just wanted to play a trick on herself.
Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing, and put his arms around his neck and kissed him, "I've shown you everything you should and shouldn't see, and you're still shy?"
He hummed softly and whispered, "I'm afraid I can't help it."
He has a girlfriend who is like a fairy and always seduces him to lose control. He is really worried about his ability to control himself. What if he can't restrain himself and indulge himself, she will be the one who gets hurt, and he will feel bad for her when she is upset.
"Then don't endure it!"
Gu Jiu said nonchalantly, reaching out his hand to pinch his big monster, and seeing that the big monster instantly became energetic, he laughed even harder.
Unfortunately, even so, someone still took the clothes with great restraint and helped her put them on like Liuxia Hui.
So, I really can’t blame her for always teasing him. It’s really because her boyfriend is too restrained, and I’m really worried that he will hurt himself.
After putting on her clothes, Gu Jiu looked at the wedding dress that she had just taken off and thrown on the ground.
There was no wedding dress on the ground. Only two pieces of red paper were left. The red paper was cut into the shape of a wedding dress. Although it looked very realistic, it still could not hide their nature: they were made of paper.
She stroked her chin and asked, "Could it be that I was just walking around on the street wearing two pieces of paper?"
"That's not the case." Lu Ji's expression was gloomy. "When you put them on, they are real clothes. They become like this when you take them off. They are a trick to deceive the eyes."
If she really walked outside wearing only two pieces of paper, he would have exploded long ago.
Gu Jiu understood this and didn’t take it too seriously. After all, she had a boyfriend who cared about her more than she did, so she didn’t need to worry too much about it.
Then, Gu Jiu sat aside and drank milk, watching her boyfriend burn the paper clothes on the ground into ashes with a serious face.
It wasn't until he threw it out of the window that a look of joy finally appeared on his face.
"Are you happy?" Gu Jiu asked with a smile, pulling his hand and kissing it.
This kiss easily soothed all the irritability and darkness in his heart. He showed a faint smile on his face and said obediently: "Ajiu, don't wear wedding clothes and wedding dresses casually in the future, unless you marry me."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "At that time, I just wanted to see what those paper figures were doing, so I pretended to fall asleep. Later, I didn't expect that they would really get married in the hall like the ancient rituals..."
Noticing that his eyes were dark again, she wisely did not say that the groom at the wedding looked exactly like him.
As the lights come on, the ancient town becomes more lively.
Gu Jiu plans to go out to find something delicious.
Although there was a lot of food in the bag, the ancient town looked so normal. Why should I put myself in such a difficult position? Of course I would go find something delicious to reward myself.
There are many players who made the same decision as Gu Jiu.
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze, who lived next door, also opened the door and came out. They had taken off their ancient costumes and put on their own clothes.
"Miss, is there anything unusual about the clothes you just changed?" Chai Yingying asked.
"Does turning into paper clothes count?"
"Okay!" Chai Yingying pointed at herself, then at Jiang Ze, "Our clothes are the same."
She stared at Gu Jiu and was a little surprised to find that Gu Jiu was very calm about this. Could it be that the young lady didn't mind that she had been walking around in paper clothes for most of the day
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Those paper clothes have a trick on them. They are indeed clothes when worn, so it's nothing."
These words successfully calmed the hearts of both Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze.
When they met Tan Lan and others who were also going out, after asking, they finally confirmed that all the ancient costumes that the players had taken off had turned into paper clothes.
In fact, after discovering that the clothes were made of paper, the players were a little upset.
This gave them the illusion that they were actually wearing the stuff of the dead, and they were also a little worried that they were being targeted by invisible ghosts and wondered if there would be any follow-up.
With some worry, the players left the Xiaoqiao Inn.
The ancient town is even more lively at night than during the day. Illuminated red lanterns are hung in the sky, stretching out in a long line. The shops on both sides of the street are brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
There are many young men and women in ancient costumes on the street visiting the ancient town, which really adds to the atmosphere of the ancient town.
The players walked around and observed the ancient town. When they saw something delicious on the roadside, they would just order one and eat from the beginning to the end of the street.
Gu Jiu held a bowl of fish noodles and ate slowly with a spoon. She was elegant in every way and looked like a picture at any time. Passersby looked over here one after another.
Lu Ji was holding a portion of beef offal and a portion of fresh meat wontons in his hands. When he noticed the gazes of passers-by, he quietly moved towards her to block their sight.
Chai Yingying was dragging Jiang Ze to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts. Seeing this, she couldn't help but say, "Look at how stingy he is."
Jiang Ze replied, "Do you dare to say that in front of him?"
I really don't dare, so I can only grumble quietly behind his back.
She looked serious, "I didn't expect Lu Ji to be so stingy. I thought that according to the eldest lady's domineering personality, she should be the stingy one. I didn't know that Mr. Lu's possessiveness was so strong that both men and women were on guard against him."
Even she was on guard against by Lu Ji. Chai Yingying was speechless. She was a straight-forward woman and had no interest in the eldest lady.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the ancient town is still very lively.
The players have filled their stomachs, but they still wander around the ancient town with purpose.
Until twelve o'clock in the evening, there were fewer and fewer tourists on the street, and most people went back to the inn or hotel to rest. The players still didn't find anything, so they had to go back to the inn.
Back in the guest room, Gu Jiu took Lu Ji to take a shower.
"Let's take a shower together to save time." Gu Jiu said with a smile, admiring her boyfriend's shy look.
But before she could help her boyfriend take off his clothes, she heard a ding-dong sound.
Lu Ji said: "It's the phone notification sound. There's another message."
He gathered his clothes, feeling somewhat regretful, opened the bathroom door, and went to get the phone from the table.
Although the players' cell phones are all the same model, it is easy to tell who owns them, because when the phone's screen lights up, the player's photo can be seen on the screensaver, in an ominous black and white color.
Gu Jiu took her phone, swiped the screen, and saw the message pop up.
