It's one feeling when you pass by and hear it, and another feeling now when you realize that you might be in it.
Guo Guo, who had heard the screams with her own ears, was naturally in the most complicated mood. In contrast, Zheng Wanqing, who had only heard the music from inside, had no reaction, and only seriously inferred along this line of thought:
"Those villas are all on the ground, but we have been walking down for a while. In addition, there are many stairs in this house. Does it mean that if we keep going up, it is possible to get out?"
If you really count it, it is a sewer to enter the casino, and another sewer to the food street. They should be at least three floors underground now.
Guo Guo seemed to understand something: "No wonder, when Wan Qing and I were walking on this floor just now, we found that the upward and downward stairs are separated. There are fewer ghosts near the upward stairs, and more ghosts near the downward stairs." gone."
At first, she was trapped by the phantom ghost and the human splicing ghost. She was supposed to be imprisoned in a deeper place, but the phantom ghost suddenly seemed to have something wrong, so he hid in the nearest stairwell without knowing what to say. up. Because of this, Guo Guo was able to stay not far from the entrance.
The more time passed, the clearer her memory came back:
"I remembered that the splicing monster had only one torso at the beginning. It will keep searching for new limbs until it assembles the most satisfactory body."
In her short memory alone, the ghost's head has been changed three times, which is more frequent than changing clothes.
Where did these spliced limbs come from? There is no doubt that they belong to the fresh candidates. The scars that often appear on it are the traces of struggle left by candidates after being pulled into this house.
With so many disassembled, replaced, or discarded limbs, like a large inventory of ghosts, there must be a place to put them.
Following this clue, a line of thought becomes clearer. Tang Xinjue nodded and said:
"If the candidates are all pulled in by the splicing ghost, then it should have a fixed [storage] habit and place."
And through its information, you may be able to find the location of other murdered candidates, including Bai Zhi!
—Of course, most of these ideas are done in the mind. With limited time, Tang Xinjue's deduction process was basically simplified and unspoken.
Thanks to the tacit understanding between roommates, Zheng Wanqing and Guo Guocai barely kept up with the train of thought. As for whether the other one is full of doubts, it is not within their consideration.
However, when she turned her head, A Wan had a serious and confident attitude on her face, and she didn't have any doubts about Tang Xinjue's jumping thinking, as if she had already determined in advance that the other party would not make mistakes:
"So, as long as we check the places where the ghosts throw their limbs one by one?"
Her eyes moved slightly, and she said first: "That monster is elusive. There are four of us in total. It is more efficient to search separately. I am willing to work with this classmate."
She pointed to Guo Guo.
Guo Guo: ... Even you think I'm easy to bully
Of course, even though Awan looks thin and weak, Guo Guo dare not have any contempt. The next moment, he took a step back decisively: "I don't!"
A Wan has reason and evidence: "Student Tang and Student Zheng seem to have relatively strong mobility, even if they encounter ghosts alone, they can get away. But this student Guo and I are obviously weaker, and it is more dangerous to go alone. So we There can only be three teams at most, among which Guo and I are the most suitable."
Guo Guo thought for a while: "You are right, but I still refuse."
Awan: "..."
She tried to make a final struggle: "It's really not possible, I can act with Zheng classmate..."
"me and you togather."
Tang Xinjue made a gentle final decision, shattering her last hope.
The movement track of the splicing monster is not difficult to find.
Because it obviously hasn't found a satisfactory limb yet, and is getting more and more impatient as time goes by. Body parts that are thrown away can be seen almost every other way:
Arms, thighs, shoulder joints, half of the neck...
In front of a piece of blood-stained neck, Tang Xinjue suddenly stood still, looking at the wooden door behind it: "There is something behind the door."
A Wan's first reaction was a ghost, just as she was about to retreat, she saw Tang Xinjue push the door open.
With a bang, the other half of the neck rolled out.
Above it, white stumps piled up like a mountain!
…
"Some candidates would rather destroy their own body than make it part of a ghost."
When the four people who were divided into two groups reunited again, they compared the findings and found that there were a total of three or four such "limb storage rooms", which gradually spread in a certain direction.
From these stumps, it is not difficult to deduce part of the tragedy at that time. The resisting candidates angered the ghosts, their bodies were roughly divided into several sections, and they were thrown here like garbage.
Amidst the strong smell of blood in the room, A Wan stepped into the mountain of corpses to rummage back and forth with a normal expression, and only got up after a while:
"It's lucky, there is no student Bai Zhi's body here, he must still be alive."
Although she said so, the three of them didn't hear any sense of relief from her tone, but a hint of... Subtle disappointment
"Then keep going."
Tang Xinjue nodded.
Carefully avoiding the spider-man ghosts that would appear in the corridor from time to time, the four of them discovered several smaller "storage rooms" one after another, but there were only two or two students in them.
Some people have blurred faces and seem to have lost their lives for a long time. Some people's blood was still warm, as if they had just died.
"They also escaped, but the ghosts would repeatedly capture them."
Just the mutilation of the body plus the wear and tear of being imprisoned and attacked will drag a person down here alive.
But judging from the state, they seem to have experienced some kind of more inhuman pain, but they have no way of knowing what it is.
In the end, Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing couldn't take it anymore even though they were used to the cruel scenes in dungeons.
This is definitely more than one batch or two batches. How many candidates did the game send in
It is different from the NPC in the copy, and different from the dormitory that will be eliminated after failure in the friendly competition. They realized more clearly than ever that the countless cold bodies that appeared in front of them at this moment were college students who had lived in the same world as them. It might even be alumni from the same school, classmates going upstairs and downstairs, netizens who have never met...
They shouldn't be lying here cold.
One door after another opened and closed, only Awan watched coldly from beginning to end, these candidates could not arouse her sympathy. There is no wave on the drooping face, only when hearing the news of ghosts will there be emotional fluctuations.
When one of the doors opened and she glanced away indifferently, her body froze visibly.
Tang Xinjue noticed her abnormality: "You know her?"
This time there were two girls in the room, the only remaining bodies were as thin as skeletons, and their faces were too blurred to see clearly. Unless someone is very familiar, it is impossible to recognize it at a glance.
After a moment of silence, A Wan shook her head: "I don't know. It's just... it looks a little scary."
After finishing speaking, she quietly retreated to the corridor without looking back.
However, before he could take two steps, his back suddenly tightened, and Tang Xinjue grabbed him back!
A Wan: "??? I won't run! Why are you arresting me..."
The narrow door closed quickly in front of her, and she was dragged to the corner of the room, facing the corpses of the two girls in front of her.
"..."
Seeing Tang Xinjue and the other three hiding in the corner at the same time, A Wan immediately realized what was going on, and covered herself with the plastic film next to her without hesitation.
The moment the room became quiet again, heavy and hasty footsteps sounded outside the door.
It went from far to near, and the moment it passed by the door, it seemed to have discovered something, and it slowly folded back.
Finally stopped in front of the door.

Splicing ghosts: there is something behind the door, it is the smell of purchase
