After Bai Yan read the explanation, thirty seconds had passed.
There is an hourglass-shaped icon on the upper right of the phone, and a countdown is displayed below the icon.
Thirty minutes seems like a lot, but no one knows how many pieces of the puzzle need to be completed.
Time was running out, so Bai Yan didn't talk to this group of randomly matched players. He got up and walked to the desk behind him, and opened a drawer to check.
Seeing someone leave, the others lost their mind to speak, and left their seats one after another, each looking for a place to search.
The desk that Bai Yan searched for had two drawers. Originally, he thought the puzzles would be hard to find, but unexpectedly, when he opened the second drawer, he found a messed up puzzle, quietly Lying in a drawer.
"The difficulty of the game shows 'simple', but is it really that easy?"
Bai Yan scanned the base of the puzzle, and the one he found was a 7*9 puzzle with 63 pieces in total.
Generally speaking, it takes about 15 minutes for an ordinary person to complete a 63-piece puzzle. As long as they are not mentally retarded, no matter how stupid they are, they can complete it in 20 minutes. The game gives a full 30 minutes, no matter what, the time is too much .
What's more, he found that the pattern in this jigsaw puzzle happened to be the panorama of this room, with real object comparison, even kindergarten children can complete it smoothly.
This game purposely brings a group of people here and scares them. If the purpose is just to make them play jigsaw puzzles, it is really unreasonable.
Bai Yan recalled that the name of this game was Supernatural Puzzle, and felt that the difficulty of the game probably did not lie in the puzzle itself, but in the supernatural phenomenon attached to the puzzle.
That being the case, he is not in a hurry to put together the puzzle.
With physical references, his speed can be further improved, and he can probably complete the puzzle within ten minutes.
But just in case, Bai Yan decided to spend 15 minutes to complete the puzzle and the other 15 minutes to collect clues.
Putting the puzzle on the table first, Bai Yan began to look carefully at the desk, trying to find something useful.
On the desk, besides the jigsaw puzzle he just put on it, there were also some stationery piled up messily.
The desk top was littered with discarded construction paper, broken oil pastels, and food scraps.
Bai Yan picked up a piece of drawing paper with content and took a closer look, only to see that a large piece of drawing paper was blackened with a pencil, and in the center of the drawing paper, four red villains with strange smiles were painted on with crayons.
"There are two villains who are obviously taller than the other two, probably parents and two children, a family of four?"
The stick figures on the drawing paper are so clumsy that they look like a child's doodle.
Judging from the lines, Bai Yan guessed that the painter should be a primary school student. He turned the drawing paper over and found two lines of writing on the back of the paper——
[Class 2, Grade 1, Xin Meng. ]
"It's really a kid who has just started elementary school, Xin Meng. According to her name, she should be a girl." He said to himself.
In order to make sure that no information was missed, Bai Yan turned over other drawing papers, and found that the content on each drawing paper was similar, so he put the drawing papers away, and began to look through a schoolbag on the chair in front of the desk.
The school bag on the chair is bright pink with cute cartoon patterns printed on it.
There are several Chinese and mathematics textbooks in the schoolbag, as well as some homework books.
Bai Yan flipped through it briefly. Except for Xin Meng's name, the textbook was clean and there was no trace of it being used.
Finally, he found a diary from the interlayer of his schoolbag, and Xin Meng's name was also written crookedly on the cover.
Judging by the bloodstains on the schoolbag, this little girl named Xin Meng is already in danger.
Since the person involved is dead, there is no right to privacy.
So, Bai Yan opened the diary and found that there were a lot of things written in it intermittently——
"April 16th, sunny, Xiaohua and Huanhuan didn't come to school today, school is so boring, I don't want to go to school."
"May 2nd, Yin, my brother lost his mind. My parents are very sad, and I am also very sad."
"On May 19th, Yin, I still haven't found my younger brother. My parents are afraid that I will disappear, so I stay at home and don't go to school, but I want to go to school, find Xiaohua and play with Huanhuan."
"On May 28th, overcast, Mom and Dad didn't go to work, and they were frowning every day. I asked why, they were even more troubled. Mom hugged me and kept crying. She must be thinking about my brother. I miss my brother too. .”
"July 1st, overcast, my father disappeared, my mother was crying all day long, and I was crying too, I couldn't find my father."
"July 6th, sunny, my mother went shopping, but she didn't come back, and my mother disappeared. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go out. I closed the door and waited for my mother."
"July 7th, overcast, mom didn't come back."
"July 8th, overcast, mom still hasn't come back."
"July 9th, cloudy, I can't find my mother, I eat chocolate every day, I counted, and I still have twelve yuan left, I have to wait for my mother."
"July 10th, Yin, my mother came back and brought my father and younger brother back. I was very happy, but I was also very scared. My mother's face was so pale. I held her hand worriedly. My mother's body was bright. It was scary, she said she was cold."
"July 11th, Yin, Dad was so hungry, he robbed me to eat, I was very angry, my younger brother was disobedient, but Mom and Dad did their own thing and didn't care about him. Mom nailed the door, she said our family Don’t go out in the future, it’s safe.”
"July 12,?, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, I can't move, I hurt so much, I can't move, my mother hugged me and helped me write a diary, but I hurt so much. Mom, can you take me there See a doctor, I'm really sick."
"July 13th,?, I was so uncomfortable. I watched my father eat and my younger brother playing, but I couldn't move. I was so uncomfortable. But my mother said that our family will be together forever, we are very happy..."
The diary ended on July 13th. Bai Yan turned a few pages back, and there was no other writing until the end. It seemed that Xin Meng's diary ended here.
After flipping through the diary quickly, Bai Yan closed the diary to sort out his thoughts.
Judging from the contents of the diary, the little girl named Xin Meng was still in school, but one day her brother disappeared, and then her father disappeared, and finally her mother.
After her mother disappeared, the little girl had been waiting at home, too scared to go out. As a result, three days later, her mother returned with her missing brother and father.
If you read this, it is still a relatively normal story. However, from Xin Meng's description, her parents behaved very abnormally after they came back. One was frighteningly cold, and the other seemed to be suffering from binge eating disorder Eating, even grabbing the daughter's food, obviously something terrible happened to these two people.
When it came to the topic of 'Spiritual Puzzle', Bai Yan felt that he probably knew what would happen next. Combined with the contents of the diary, will the ghosts of this family of four come out to make trouble when the puzzle is being assembled later
Of course, the diary only describes the weirdness of the parents and the little girl, and does not describe the younger brother too much.
In Xin Meng's diary, only "brother is disobedient" is mentioned, but Bai Yan doesn't think the child will live a good life. His whole family is abnormal, and the door has been nailed up. All four members of the family are trapped in the room, and there is no extra food source. He is a child under six years old, and he can live safely in human form. '
Maybe, Xin Meng's younger brother, like her parents, died long ago before returning. Xin Meng completely lured wolves into the house, allowing three ghosts who were no longer her relatives to enter the originally safe home!
While thinking, Bai Yan heard a noise coming from the right.
As he pondered, he listened to the shoving and bickering over there.
Next to the closet, the newcomer man quarreled with the junior high school student, because after communicating, they found that both of their jigsaw puzzles had scary "ghosts" printed on them, but the area of the "ghost" on the jigsaw puzzles of the junior high school students was smaller than that of the man Quite a lot, so the man threatened the junior high school student, wanting him to hand over the puzzle, and threw his large piece of the jigsaw puzzle that was a "ghost" to the junior high school student.
But the junior high school student is not stupid, so no matter how the man threatens, he will not let go of the jigsaw. The naive junior high school student may have thought that this would protect his jigsaw puzzle, but judging from Bai Yan's years of experience in stirring up trouble, if he doesn't let go, the mature man will not be able to resist.
However, they say there is a ghost on the puzzle, why is there no one on his
Bai Yan reflexively looked at the woman who was standing in front of the pantry looking sideways at the puzzle. The woman also found the jigsaw puzzle, but the sad thing is that Bai Yan's eyesight is too poor, the woman's face is blurred in his eyes, and she can't see her expression clearly, so it is impossible to speculate whether there is a ghost on her jigsaw puzzle.
...Forget it, let's just assume that there are ghosts on her puzzle.
Bai Yan also wanted to have a hand in the conflict between the junior high school students and the men, fearing to arouse their vigilance, so he didn't rashly ask the woman.
Anyway, there are only two possibilities, there are ghosts on the girl's puzzle, and there is no ghost on the girl's puzzle.
If it is the former, it is obvious that there is something wrong with his puzzle, which means that there must be key clues hidden in the puzzle. And if it is the second type, it means that this game has two modes. The two people without ghosts on the puzzle is another way of playing, which may be harder or easier.
But regardless of the assumption, checking the puzzle piece again is a must.
So, Bai Yan decided to read the puzzle again.
His eyesight was poor, so he bent down and leaned closer to look at the puzzle on the desk. He separated the overlapping pieces so that he could see each piece.
After looking at it for a full minute, he realized the weirdness of this jigsaw puzzle.
On one piece of the jigsaw puzzle, there is a distorted face on the piece corresponding to the chair—
Upon closer inspection, the face was glued to the back of the chair, and the limbs were also twisted into a twist, entwined around the four chair legs.
Bai Yan took a closer look, and found that it was a person on all fours, her neck was twisted painfully, so that the entire deformed face was stuck to the chair.
The moment he saw this fragment, Bai Yan had a realization in his heart. He finally knew why the little girl in the diary was in so much pain in the end.
