to the city.
Chen Caixing noticed that the three of Zhu Sui went to West Street, and it seemed that everyone found out about Barbara's clues.
"where are we going?"
"Don't you want to eat sausages? Let's go, my sister." Chen Caixing looked like he was shopping for dinner today.
Guo Yu had a question mark on his face but did not refute.
The road to the sausage shop was in the same direction as the leather shoe shop. Chen Caixing and the four followed behind Zhu Sui and the three of them. After a few steps, Zhu Sui's female teammate stopped, looked back at Chen Caixing and said, "Why are you following us?"
"Who said we followed you? Why didn't you follow us?" Chen Caixing asked with a smile.
"Why are you being so rambunctious, we walk in the front, you are behind, but you are not following us." The girl was so angry.
Chen Caixing has never lost when it comes to harassment. Pointing to Youyou said: "Sometimes what you see is not true, and the one behind is the one who leads the way."
"You!" The girl blushed with anger.
Zhu Sui glanced at Chen Caixing and said, "Forget it, let's go."
The two teams continued to go to West Street one after the other.
"I didn't expect you to have a good heart." Guo Yu sighed, Yuan Xing just reminded Zhu Sui to pay attention to Wang Guo behind him.
Chen Caixing tucked his hair behind his ears, smiled softly and said, "Alas, who told me that everyone is beautiful and kind."
Sister, can make you beautiful. Guo Yu thought to himself. Yuan Xing is obviously a good person, just like stopping players who want to rest in the morning, and reminding Zhu Sui, but doing good deeds always has the feeling of angering people to death.
I don't know what to think.
What else can you think of, it's fun.
When they arrived at the sausage shop, Zhu Sui and the three saw the four people who followed them in. The female teammates were relieved and said, "Brother Zhu, they went to the sausage shop, not with us."
"Let's go." After Zhu Sui finished speaking, when she turned around, she glanced at Wang Guo who was following behind them. She suddenly remembered what the pregnant woman said, with a bit of thought in her eyes.
Inside the sausage shop.
There were not many people dining in the early morning, except for the four of them who were deserted in the store.
"Today my sister's birthday, I invite everyone to come to the store for a drink, the boss can tell the neighbors nearby." Chen Caixing said to the boss who helped them order.
The boss was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept the circle among the four, except for the girl in front of him, didn't he see any other girl
Chen Caixing took out the money from the backpack and put it on the table. The boss was very happy to take the money, regardless of who Chen Caixing's sister was, he happily said: "Okay, thank you, lady, you are really generous, I hope God bless you."
The boss goes down and prepares.
"Are you happy? Good sister, today is your birthday." Chen Caixing asked with a smile on his cheeks.
Guo Yu: I can't be happy.
"Don't be like this. When you are a bride next time, my sister will treat you to red eggs."
Guo Yu gave a hard smile: "I'm so happy."
A few people chatted, and after a while, people came to the restaurant one after another, and free lunches are welcome everywhere. Beer sausages were prepared in the restaurant, and the surrounding residents thanked Chen Caixing with wine glasses and celebrated sister Guo Yu's happy birthday.
Everyone ate sausages and drank beer, not so relaxed and happy for a long time since the plague. Everyone sat together, chatting outside of eating and drinking, but most of them were trivial things in life. Chen Caixing was not in a hurry to talk. When everyone had a few more drinks, there would be more things to ask.
The atmosphere in the store is high, after a few glasses of beer, I have the confidence to speak.
Things that were previously kept silent can now be easily inquired about.
"Grey? She is the most beautiful girl in this piece. It's a pity that she was not blessed by God and died at a young age. She was going to marry Eva's brother."
"Yes, the marriage contract has been made. It's really terrible." Someone mentioned the plague death last year and still shivered. "After Gray died, it seemed like it was shrouded in death, and a lot of people died later."
"No, it was Barbara, she killed Gray and a lot of people."
"Stop talking, don't mention the name, she'll hear it."
"No, no, she's locked up and won't come back."
Drinking is also a bit bad, the words are out of word order, and they turn to other places after a while. Chen Caixing led him back and asked, "Why didn't Barbara get married?"
A man sneered and said, "She's ugly and has a weird personality. She has a black cat all day long. Who would want to marry such a woman, even if her shoe store gave it to me, I wouldn't want it."
"She also confessed to Bertram, and I saw it, and she has no shame. She is more than ten years older than Bertram. That handsome young man in Bertram should marry Gray, and the two of them are really together. , it's a perfect match."
"It's a pity that Gray died. Barbara must have done it. Her jealousy killed Gray. And Bertram and Eva."
The residents opened the chat box and learned from the chat: Bertram and Gray are a couple, Barbara once confessed to Bertram, Gray died the earliest, and then Bertram Eva family, and Barbara shoe store All neighbors around.
All dead.
Referring to the shadow of death last year, the resident shivered and said: "...We went to church to pray, hoping that God would bless us and forgive us. Someone overturned the hot soup and splashed Barbara on her body. Barbara was slightly injured. None, someone saw Barbara's shadow moving, she's a demon or a witch..."
By the afternoon, everything that could be heard was heard.
Chen Caixing settled the bill, and the four walked back.
"78 dead, half a block of neighbors from Barbara's shoe store all dead." Instead of moving away.
Cheng Lifeng heard the number of words, "The Roman numerals you found?"
Guo Yu also remembered it, snorted, and said, "His father said he wanted to move out, but Barbara didn't agree. This woman is too vicious, so she's killing people, right? The man doesn't like her, so he twists it. The melons are also not sweet, let’s kill them, oh my god, who would dare to fall in love after this.”
"What are you afraid of when you are single for ten thousand years?" Chen Caixing thought that he was also single, so he couldn't help touching his stomach, smiled softly, and said, "I am different, although he cheated, but there are children and Xiaojiu."
So he is different from Guo Yu!
"Sister, I will always accompany you." Yuan Jiuwan promised, and glanced at Guo Yu again.
Guo Yu: ... What's going on with your brothers and sisters, the knife pierced his heart, there's no end to it!
"'When they are ready, they can leave.'" Chen Caixing suddenly changed the subject.
Before Guo Yu could react, Cheng Lifeng said, "NPC said it on the first day."
"Yes." Chen Caixing kept playing word games with them thinking about this game, and said, "We have come to this environment, and the NPC's words can easily confuse people with 'patients who are treated well for the plague', but the scope is too large. We are not doctors without medicine, the way we play games can't be like this."
"Maybe 'they're fine' has another meaning."
"They're okay, okay." Guo Yu pondered sullenly, "It's okay if it's okay, what does that mean? Who are they? We have to let someone be okay."
Chen Caixing said his guess, "You say who is the most innocent in this game world?"
"Then it goes without saying that of course it's our players. We've provoked whoever, and we're going to suffer here." Guo Yu said in a quick voice. After speaking, he felt that he had contradicted his good sister. Afraid of being scolded by Yuan Xing, he said, "I'll just say it casually."
Chen Caixing glanced at Guo Yu and said, "You are not dead yet, so you are not innocent."
"You mean the bones in the woods?" Cheng Lifeng remembered, "The players were buried in the woods if they died of illness. The ones who died of illnesses were burned. The woods were related to Barbara, and the burned ones were related to the monster."
Chen Caixing nodded, he also meant it.
"And there are living people being experimented with."
"That's killing Barbara and the monster?" Guo Yu gave a summary, thought about it and said, "What if it doesn't?"
Chen Caixing said lightly: "No, it's not. Anyway, the two are not human, and monsters are not good monsters." There is no pity.
He thought that Barbara was framed before, thinking that the goal of 'alright' was to rescue Barbara, but after checking, Barbara turned into a black cat and killed players every night, and Barbara found today. He was not a good person when he was alive, so this item was ruled out.
Although this game teases players maliciously, like a play of tricks, the origin of each world seems to be revenge or kindness with a little redemption.
The main point is that if you don't kill Barbara and the monster, the player will continue to die. Even if the death conditions are avoided, the two sides are in a stalemate, and they can't get out. It is better to fight.
The four of them heard a voice behind them on their way back.
It was the female player in Zhu Sui's team who quarreled again: "Brother Zhu said it wasn't intentional, and I apologized to you. If you are interested, don't hold on to it."
"My feet hurt and I can't walk, really." The girl's voice was sweet.
Guo Yu heard the toothache and said, "That's the sound. It's too scary. It haunted us all the way."
The female teammate was so angry, "I said I can help you, why are you so annoying, can't you understand people's words?"
"I think Brother Zhu is supporting me."
Chen Caixing looked back and saw that it was Wang Guo who was talking, her voice was sweet and greasy that didn't match her appearance, and she didn't have any sense of existence before. Now Wang Guo is full of discord, and her female teammates are obviously annoying, but Zhu Sui's expression began to waver. , waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I'll support her."
"Brother Zhu, you are so kind, I think her feet are fine." The female teammate stomped her feet.
Chen Caixing asked Cheng Lifeng: "You were like this at the time?"
"I just feel a little irritable and don't want to waste time." Cheng Lifeng said. Guo Yu added: "Old Cheng can't be conservative in terms of feelings, and it's the person I bumped into. I said I was back, that mango insisted on pestering Old Cheng, and finally procrastinated. Old Cheng was afraid that the time would be too late. back."
Just like Zhu Sui now.
Cheng Lifeng frowned and explained: "Actually, it's not what Lao Guo said. I don't think it's right, but I can't tell."
The veteran had a hunch about the danger, both Cheng Lifeng and Zhu Sui, but they still couldn't resist Wang Guo's entanglement.
They were chatting kung fu, and Zhu Sui was already supporting Wang Guo. Wang Guo leaned half-body on Zhu Sui's shoulder. The position of the two seemed very close, but Chen Caixing noticed one thing and reminded: "Look at the shadow on the ground."
Guo Yu looked at it, and couldn't help but scream in his heart.
Wang Guo's shadow was moving, overlapping with Zhu Sui's shadow, and quickly dispersed, as if nothing had happened, but a black cross was reflected on Zhu Sui's shadow's head.
fades quickly.
"The monster's backyard." Cheng Lifeng thought of the black cross.
The three quickly arrived in front of them, and the female teammate glanced at the four of them angrily, "It's you again, what are you looking at?"
"Look at your brother Zhu supporting other women." Chen Caixing said with a smile.
The female teammate was shy and angry, but she didn't argue, she just glared at Chen Caixing angrily, and stomped her feet to speed up to the front of several people.
"What are you staring at me for?" Chen Caixing looked innocent, glanced at Wang Guo in Zhu Sui's arms, and said, "I'm not a third party, and I interfere in other people's feelings."
Wang Guo looked blank, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Chen Caixing did not continue, holding Xiao Jiu's hand and walked forward.
Guo Yu heard Yuan Xing's words and whispered, "Do you suspect that Mango is Barbara? But I don't think she understands it, and her acting skills are pretty good."
"She really doesn't understand." Chen Caixing said.
Guo Yu was at a loss, "So is this mango okay?"
"When my sister was talking, the woman's shadow was moving." After Yuan Jiuwan finished speaking, he raised his face and looked at Chen Caixing, waiting for praise.
Chen Caixing touched Xiao Jiu's curly hair and said without hesitation, "Xiao Jiu can see it, Xiao Jiu is awesome."
After he said that a third party intervened, Wang Guo was fine, but the shadow behind her was moving fiercely. However, everyone's attention was focused on Wang Guo, and Xiao Jiu didn't expect to notice.
to the hospital.
Everyone came back before dark, and there was no one missing. After dinner, they went back to their dormitories. Guo Yu asked if you want to go out again tonight? Chen Caixing shook his head and said no, there are still things to do at night.
Guo Yu understood when he thought of Zhu Sui who was entangled in mangoes.
It was dark, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
The black cat with green pupils jumped to the windowsill and stared at the four sleeping in the window.
'ding ding dong'.
The soft and sweet bell rang, but the black cat struggled, changed direction, and ran elsewhere.
"It's really coming." Guo Yu stood on the window sill, glanced at the black cat, stretched out his hand to rub it, but his arm was lifted and he almost scratched his skin, Na Na said, "It hasn't changed yet. Bar?"
If you didn't change back, you'd be dead long ago, and you could still stand and talk.
"Come over here." Yuan Jiuwan gestured with a small hand.
The black cat rushed to Yuan Jiuwan's bedside, obediently squatting on the side and didn't dare to move, Yuan Jiuwan reached out and rubbed the black cat's head, the black cat seemed to be rubbing it in enjoyment, Guo Yu looked jealous a face.
He also wants to rub the cat.
"I sleep after playing for a while, and I don't know if the cat is dirty." Chen Caixing was a little worried.
When Yuan Jiuwan heard it, he patted the black cat's head and said, "Go to the windowsill and be obedient."
The black cat jumped to the windowsill obediently and clumped its furry body into a ball.
The night was peaceful.
During the meal the next day, the players whispered in a low voice. Chen Caixing heard the sentence, "No one died." He didn't know what to say. The other three chatted.
He was thinking, is Wang Guo a normal living person now, if they unlock the game and can go out, can Wang Guo go out alive
Meeting in the hall to meet Alexander.
The other party's mood was better than yesterday. Chen Caixing thought of the person who was cut open on the bed in the treatment room. They didn't go to see it last night, but looking at Alexander's appearance, someone died last night.
Just not the player.
"… Okay, everyone can go out." Alexander waved them away.
The four of us went to the country today. The three newcomers left by Fang Pingping who died were accompanying them, and the four Zhu Sui went to the city with other veterans. The newlyweds don't like Chen Caixing in particular, they walk quickly out of the hospital door.
"Why do they avoid you?" Straight men like Guo Yu felt it. "They seem to hate you."
Chen Caixing sighed softly: "It's all my fault."
Guo Yu was interested, Yuan Xing knew he was wrong
"It's my fault that I'm too perfect, which makes people jealous." Chen Caixing sighed faintly.
Guo Yu: … He knows.
The four of them were walking on a country road, the weather was getting colder and colder, and there was no one left in the barren fields. He walked further and further, until he saw a grass hut on the barren field.
"arrive."
It's Murphy's house. The four of them crossed the field to the grass hut. The wooden door was hidden, and it was quiet inside. Chen Caixing felt that something was wrong, so he knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he pushed it open.
The light inside was dim, and there was an unobstructed view. Guo Yu saw the blanket he gave to Yuan Xing. There were two figures wrapped under the blanket. The exposed skin is marked by beatings.
Guo Yu reached out and probed under the woman's nose, "Dead."
Chen Caixing's face was cold, he went to the other side, reached out and touched the little boy, the tentacles were cold but the skin was elastic, the person was still alive, but the breath was weak.
"I'm going to boil some hot water and see if I can save it." Guo Yu said, looking at the boy who was breathing weakly.
After a while, he took the things that could be used in the backpack. The tin can box was heated with hot water, mixed with the smell of canned meat. The little boy on the bed probably smelled the aroma and licked his mouth, opened his eyes and shouted hungry.
"Eat slowly." Guo Yu handed it over, "Be careful of scalding."
The boy seemed to have no sense, not afraid of being hot, holding the tin can box and gurgling water. After drinking the broth, his cheeks were a little flushed, his lips were still pale, his eyes shrank, and he looked at his mother beside the bed, his face numb.
Apparently he also knew that his mother was dead.
"Where's your father?" Chen Caixing asked softly.
The boy saw that he recognized Chen Caixing, his numb and dazed eyes brightened a little, and he burst into tears, saying, "The devil took my father, the devil took my father, the devil took my father..."
That's what it says over and over.
Chen Caixing touched the little boy's dry, frizzy and dirty hair and said, "Dad and mother will be happy when they go to a place where they won't starve and freeze."
"I want to go too, I want to see my father and mother." The boy huddled in the blanket, hugged his mother's cold arm, and whispered, "It's so warm."
Slowly closed his eyes.
The four of them went out of the grass hut, and Chen Caixing was in a bad mood. At the beginning, he gave the Murphy family a blanket of food. He thought that the family of three would survive this winter safely.
"Alexander took Murphy." This time Chen Caixing would not misunderstand the meaning of 'the devil took Dad'.
Cheng Lifeng: "Well, the woman's injury was caused by being beaten with a stick."
Everyone thought of the crutches that Dr. Birdbeak often held in his hands.
After finding other farmers, Chen Caixing used food to inquire about demons, but several people had different opinions. Some people said that demons were the punishment of God's dissatisfaction with the world, and some said that demons were monsters under the curse of witches. Be careful and scared and tell them, don't go near the hospital, stay away from there, Doctor Bird's Beak will bring death.
"Devils are monsters under the curse of witches." Chen Caixing repeated this sentence.
Cheng Lifeng was thoughtful and pondering. But he couldn't think of it, Guo Yu said: "Otherwise, let's ask other people if they have any clues, one person will be short and two will be long."
"That's the only way, go back first." Cheng Lifeng agreed.
The four of them went too far, and winter was coming, and it was getting dark earlier. They didn't dare to delay, even though it was almost dark when they got to the door of the hospital.
Chen Caixing found that the players who came back were looking at him wrongly, as if he was watching a good show and watching the excitement.
"What happened?" Guo Yu also saw that something was wrong.
The player waited for them to ask, and someone quickly said: "You are going to the countryside today, right? Maybe you don't know, today Zhu Sui and his team arrived at the city church, and a man named Wang Guo suddenly called out that there is a woman in our hospital. witch."
Guo Yu and Cheng Lifeng's face sank when he heard this.
"Say it, continue." Chen Caixing also heard it.
The player who spoke has been paying attention to Chen Caixing's expression. Seeing that there is no fear on the other's face, he said a little boringly: "This is not what I said, Wang Guo shouted your name, but Zhu Sui and the others stopped it in time. ."
"Damn." Guo Yu scolded swearing words, his face was not good, he rolled up his sleeves and told him whether Mango was a human or a ghost. He beat him first, but after scanning the circle, he didn't find it, and asked, "Where is the human?"
"It is estimated that it is in the dormitory." Some players said that they did not take it too seriously.
The three newcomers said, "Wang Guo just said it casually, it's nothing, right?"
"The church people didn't come, and nothing happened. Why do you still want to beat people?"
"As for it, isn't there anything wrong?"
Chen Caixing glanced at the newcomer who was making sarcastic remarks. He didn't know if he was out of his mind or he had too much heart, and said coldly, "I'm not the only woman in our team. If I don't get treated as a witch, the second one will be. Who?"
The faces of the three changed, and they didn't expect to burn them.
Chen Caixing ignored it. It was not Wang Guo who targeted him, but Barbara who wanted to kill him. What Chen Caixing said just now was also to frighten the three girls. Now that the bell is in his hands, the three newcomers are not enough for the dish.
The four returned to the dormitory, followed by the players watching the show.
As a result, before reaching the dormitory, he heard someone screaming. Chen Caixing heard that it was a female teammate in Zhu Sui's team. Before they could get there, the female teammate stumbled out and said, "Wang Guo is dead."
