There is no annoying creaking sound tonight, and the quiet environment makes it easy for those who didn’t sleep well last night to fall asleep.
"ah-"
A shrill scream broke the silence of the night. Everyone woke up instantly and ran out of the room in a hurry.
The fastest among them is Wu Yang. As a veteran player who has played four games, he never indulges himself in deep sleep in the gaming world.
Wu Yang held the flashlight that the game gave them. The light of the flashlight swayed everywhere, allowing people to clearly see the people running out of each room, except for...
"The one who got into trouble is Wang Peiping." the fat man shouted.
Wu Yang walked quickly towards Wang Peiping's room and kicked the door open.
Lin Dandan followed Wu Yang with a flashlight in her hand. She subconsciously glanced at the room where the two newlyweds lived and found that Gu Jiu and Lu Ji had both come out of the room.
She was a little surprised. How could these two people be okay
The doubt flashed away, and Lin Dandan quickly followed Wu Yang to the door of Wang Peiping's room. When she saw the situation in Wang Peiping's room clearly, her pupils shrank slightly.
"Help!" Wang Peiping covered his neck and screamed in fear, stumbling towards the door.
A black shadow half a man's height pounced towards him.
Wu Yang, who kicked the door open, had a blood talisman in his hand and slapped it towards the black shadow. When the black shadow touched the blood talisman, a sharp sound that was not like that of a human was made, and it rushed towards the window at an extremely fast speed.
When it climbed onto the window, its pair of scarlet eyes, which even the night could not conceal, looked resentfully at the person who appeared, and then disappeared out the window.
The fat man who followed closely happened to see this scene and couldn't help but gasp, "What, what is that?"
Lin Dandan swallowed her saliva, her voice trembling, "It looks like a rag doll."
"Rag doll? Is there a rag doll this big?" the fat man asked in disbelief. However, thinking that this is a game world, everything is possible, and it is nothing for the rag doll to turn into a ghost doll.
Wang Peiping collapsed at the door, gasping for breath and unable to speak.
Wu Yang came over and said solemnly, "It is indeed a rag doll. It is a rag doll that has become half the height of a person."
When he went in just now, he swept the flashlight over and saw clearly that the thing that attacked Wang Peiping was indeed an enlarged version of a rag doll.
Speaking of rag dolls, they couldn't help but think of the rag doll that Gu Jiu brought back during the day. Several people's faces looked very ugly, and they subconsciously looked at Gu Jiu outside the door.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Wang Peiping got up and rushed over with a ferocious look on his face, "It must be the ghost doll you brought back that attacked me! Why didn't it attack you? Did you do something?"
According to the rules of the game, whoever triggers the death should bear the consequences, unless someone interferes.
Gu Jiu took a step back and said calmly: "It has nothing to do with me."
"How is it nothing to do with you? Except you, none of us brought back the doll." Wang Peiping looked at Gu Jiu with resentment, feeling that everything he had suffered tonight was brought back by her.
If Wu Yang had not arrived in time, he would have been killed by the ghost doll.
The others also looked at Gu Jiu, and their thoughts were similar to Wang Peiping's. After all, it was such a coincidence that Gu Jiu brought back a rag doll and Wang Peiping was attacked by the ghost doll at night.
Gu Jiu said: "My doll is here, not the one just now."
As she spoke, she pushed the rag doll in her hand forward, and the doll's face was directly in front of them.
Everyone: “…”
Everyone present looked at her in disbelief. What was wrong with this woman that she even carried it with her
Gu Jiu said: "When we heard your cry, Miss Lu and I woke up and ran out. The doll was always next to the bedside table in our room and did not disappear. I took it out. Miss Lu can testify to this."
As she finished speaking, Wu Yang and the others seemed to see the small and delicate mouth of the rag doll in her hand curved up, and its eyes, which were extremely similar to those of humans, flashed with a creepy light and stared at them.
A chill ran up from my ankles and I couldn't help but shiver.
Wang Peiping's resentment disappeared instantly, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you put it away quickly."
Gu Jiu still held the rag doll and said seriously, "So, your attack tonight has nothing to do with my rag doll, right?"
Wang Peiping nodded randomly. No matter whether it was true or not, he didn't dare to express his opinion in front of the rag doll.
Wu Yang glanced at Gu Jiu, who was holding a strange rag doll in her hand nonchalantly, and thought that this newcomer was terrifyingly brave. He wondered if it was because she had not yet seen how terrifying the ghosts in the game were, which allowed her to remain so casual and calm.
In this copy of the Cursed Village, the performance of the two newcomers was a bit strange.
There is no need to mention Gu Jiu. Even Lu Ji looked sick, but he was also very calm when facing what happened tonight. He was not at all like those newcomers who knew nothing when they first entered the game world.
"Dandan, help Mr. Wang treat his wound first." Wu Yang ordered.
Lin Dandan is a nurse in real life. She checked Wang Peiping's wound and found that the wound on his neck was quite serious, with three blood marks and torn skin and flesh, as if it was caused by a wild beast. If it had been scratched deeper, his neck would have been broken.
This was obviously caught by the ghost doll just now.
Everyone felt heavy in their hearts. Judging from the wound, it could be inferred that the ghost doll that attacked Wang Peiping was extremely lethal.
Could it be that the ghost doll is the biggest boss of the cursed village
After treating Wang Peiping's injuries, Wu Yang let everyone go.
Wang Peiping looked somewhat dejected and said: "Brother Wu, let me live in the same room with you guys. I'll sleep on the floor in your room." After what happened tonight, he didn't dare to live alone.
Seeing the injury on his neck, Wu Yang did not refuse and helped him move the bedding and quilts from his room over.
Lin Dandan had no objection. As long as she could live with Wu Yang, it would be fine. From what happened just now, Wu Yang's blood talisman item was very useful. It could cause harm to ghosts and monsters, and she felt very safe.
Gu Jiu and Lu Ji also went back to their room to rest.
Gu Jiu put the rag doll back on the bedside table and looked at it with the flashlight. Suddenly, he found that in a moment, the rag doll's originally smiling face turned into a bitter face, with its eyes, nose and mouth drooping, and it looked unhappy.
When she looked over again, the doll still had that endearing smile on its face.
Lu Ji's voice sounded faintly: "Its expression just now..."
Gu Jiu looked at her in surprise, "Did you see it?"
Lu Ji hummed softly, still looking pale and weak, extremely indifferent, as if she was not interested in anything. Even the dangerous game world did not make her nervous.
She didn't look like a newbie who was participating in the game for the first time. Even Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping, who had experienced several games, were more normal than her. Lin Dandan and the others had a constant sense of tension and urgency, and their emotions fluctuated greatly. The slightest thing could make them explode hysterically, which was not seen in Lu Ji.
Gu Jiu suddenly said, "You really don't look like a newcomer."
Lu Ji looked at her calmly, "You too."
But Gu Jiu shook his head and said lightly, "You are wrong. I am actually quite scared, but it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing her looking directly at him with a pair of dark eyes, Gu Jiu smiled and said with a rare sense of ease: "I am a congenital amblyopic patient, a more serious type. Once I am without the aid of glasses, I am like a blind man. I have become accustomed to the dark world. Darkness is actually not that scary."
Lu Ji said "oh" to give face, but did not express any opinion.
After all, the two were not familiar with each other and just lived together briefly because of the game. There was nothing to talk about, so they soon lay down to rest again.
As for the abnormality of the rag doll, neither of them seemed to take it seriously.
When Gu Jiu was about to fall asleep, Lu Ji's voice rang out: "Why are you so sure that something will happen tonight? Are you sure that the ghost doll that attacked Wang Peiping is not this one?"
Gu Jiu was a little confused, curled up in the bed, and said vaguely, "The child who gave me the doll told me... They want me to do something for them. The doll should be a guide, or a token of some kind, not a ghost that wants to kill people... The appearance of the doll is also a key information in the game copy. Something will definitely happen tonight..."
In fact, something unexpected might happen to anyone tonight. Gu Jiu was not sure who it would be, and even thought it might be himself.
During the day, she specifically asked Fatty about their experiences in the previous three games. Although Fatty did not explain in too much detail, it was still of great reference value.
The danger level of a D-level game field is not high, and it is relatively safe at the beginning of the game. As long as the players do not commit suicide, the ghosts will not kill people. This can be seen from the fact that Wang Peiping was able to hold on until Wu Yang came to rescue him.
Maybe she just happened to get the doll because she came into contact with those children. This may be luck, or it may not be, depending on how the rules of the game are implemented.
Hearing the gentle breathing sounds coming from the quiet night, Lu Ji knew that the person on the other side of the bed had fallen into a deep sleep.
She opened her eyes and looked at the endless darkness, listening to the breathing of the people around her, feeling a little weird.
I'm not used to it, but also a little bit novel.
Suddenly, she turned her head to look at the rag doll on the bedside table. The darkness had no effect on her, and nothing could escape her. The red light in the rag doll's eyes flashed by, revealing a strange and eerie feeling.
**
On the third day after entering the gaming world, Wu Yang and his friends were still not in a very good mood.
The wound on Wang Peiping's neck was only treated simply, but the burning pain made him feel really bad. His cold and hateful gaze drifted towards Gu Jiu from time to time.
Although he had cowardly denied last night that the attack on him had nothing to do with Gu Jiu, he had already determined in his heart that it must have been caused by the rag doll Gu Jiu brought back.
Wu Yang said: "It's not the doll that Miss Gu brought back. In low-level game fields, ghosts usually have a medium when they attack. Since the doll has never left Miss Gu's sight, it can be confirmed that it has nothing to do with it."
The body of the rag doll is the medium of ghosts. Since the rag doll has always been with Gu Jiu, it can be ruled out as a suspect.
Wang Peiping's expression faltered slightly, and he said stubbornly, "Maybe the rag doll triggered the death rule and attracted the ghost attack."
Lin Dandan agreed with this statement, and Wu Yang could not defend himself because it was too much of a coincidence.
Because of what happened last night, Gu Jiu was excluded for the first time.
However, only Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping were obviously repulsive. Wu Yang did not show any expression. The fat brothers and Lu Ji's attitude towards Gu Jiu did not change.
During breakfast, Gu Jiu suddenly asked the village chief if there was a doctor in the village.
A group of people looked at her warily.
"Who among you is sick?" asked the village chief in confusion.
Gu Jiu pointed at Wang Peiyang and said, "It's Mr. Wang. He accidentally scratched himself last night and needs to see a doctor."
The village chief said, "There is a barefoot doctor in the village. He is at the east end of the village, next to Granny Wang's house. If any of you are injured, you can go to him."
Gu Jiu thanked the village chief, and the others looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.
After leaving the village chief's house, Wang Peiping asked angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Jiu blinked and said briskly, "You are injured and need a doctor and medicine. Miss Lin only treated you simply last night and didn't give you any medicine, right?" After a pause, she continued, "Of course, I won't force you to go if you don't want to."
These words made Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping choke.
Wu Yang suddenly thought of something and said, "We can ask the barefoot doctor about amnesia."
