Lu Tianyi hadn't figured out what happened, but under An Qing's slap, he picked An Qing up and chased after Bai Yan.
Su Xiaoqian was still wondering why An Qing insisted on coming over with her armpit stick as soon as she saw her eldest son, but now it seems that An Qing really has the foresight. Seeing that they were all running away, Su Xiaoqian also raised her skirt and ran forward regardless of her image, for fear that she would be caught up by ghosts if she was a step too late.
He only ran away for a split second, and Li Hao, who was not able to react in time, stared blankly at the four people who were skating so fast, and finally woke up like a dream, and ran towards the gate.
Unfortunately, he was one step too late.
While he was hesitating, the heads of the hostess and hostess had already rolled to the door, together with the body of the elder son lying in a pool of blood, staring at him with vicious eyes.
Li Hao was frightened by the two dead heads, he was already a step behind, this pause made the two headless corpses walk behind him, and silently pinched his neck.
Li Hao uttered a shrill scream as the cold ghost's hand grabbed his neck. Immediately afterwards, his head was pulled off by the hostess, and the headless body fell to the ground.
Li Hao's head flew into the air and hit the car window, everyone waiting in the car knew that he was completely hopeless.
So, Bai Yan stepped on the accelerator, and drove the four people in the car forward together.
…
In the male owner's unknown luxury car, Lu Tianyi and An Qing sat in the back seat, while Su Xiaoqian sat in the co-pilot's seat, combing her rain-drenched hair with her hands.
The torrential rain outside the car was still falling, her whole body was wet, and the wet skirt was tightly stuck to her body, which made her very uncomfortable.
However, Su Xiaoqian was not in the mood to care about clothes at all. She stared at the car window with her eyes wide open, and it took her a long time to blink her beautiful eyes. She was afraid that there would be a grimace imprinted on the glass, and she would get into the car when everyone was unaware, and send them off to heaven.
"Bai Yan, why did you kill the eldest son of this family? He is also human, so he can still be saved!"
On the way, Lu Tianyi complained about Bai Yan's indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
Bai Yan's attention was focused on the road ahead, and he didn't have the time to argue with Lu Tianyi, so he casually said, "Mr. Lu, are you from the NPC Protection Association?"
Lu Tianyi was at a loss for words. He knew the importance of NPCs and players from the same world as him. However, these NPCs are too much like living people, as if this is a real world, and they are also real people.
In fact, every time he plays a game, he often has a thought. Is the NPC they talk about really just data fabricated by the app, not a living person like them, with flesh and blood and emotions
The app can put these living human beings into the game, so will the people in the game really be a piece of fabricated data out of thin air
Seeing Lu Tianyi covering his face and bowing his head, with a dejected look on his face, An Qing thought about it, pulled his sleeves, and explained softly: "Brother Lu, don't be sad. We'll be in trouble if we don't kill him."
"why?"
Knowing that Lu Tianyi hadn't figured it out yet, An Qing said meaningfully: "When the host and hostess think about their own deaths, they are no longer the owners of the villa, and there is only one 'living person' in the villa, and that is who ran out of the cellar. Eldest Young Master. Eldest Young Master has mental problems, if we don’t kill him, if he is bewitched by the Faceless Ghost and tells us not to leave the villa, we will all die.”
"The only thing that can make us leave the villa with peace of mind is the dead, and the dead will not give any orders."
Seeing that Lu Tianyi's complexion was even more unsightly, An Qing comforted her again: "And think about the last appearance of the young master, such a hideous face, not only his tongue was swollen, but even one of his eyes was missing, he can really be regarded as person?"
After An Qing finished speaking, Su Xiaoqian who was sitting in front also expressed her support. She delivered meals to the young master for several days, and knew that he was indeed innocent, but people are selfish, if the young master does not die, they, the group of players, will bear the risk. Compared with his own life, the death of an NPC is not so important.
An Qing's consolation made Lu Tianyi feel a little better, but he knew in his heart that even if the young master was really human, the players would sacrifice him without hesitation. In the eyes of most players, NPC has no human rights at all, and it is useless for him to feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps because he couldn't accept the fact that players used NPCs as cannon fodder, Lu Tianyi fell silent, and even An Qing didn't speak.
…
The raindrops outside the window crackled against the glass, and the raindrops drew long lines on the car window, like distorted bloodstains, splitting the glass into countless pieces.
Curled up in the sealed car, looking at the rows of roadside trees passing by quickly, Su Xiaoqian always felt that the crown of the trees was filled with ghostly shadows, and there were countless ghosts hiding in these trees.
The car has been driving for a long time, and at some point, the car fell into silence, and no one said a word.
In an environment where everyone was silent, Su Xiaoqian shivered from the cold. She rolled up her sleeves, rubbed her arms, and said uneasily, "Where are we going? Is there enough gas in the car?"
Bai Yan glanced at the fuel gauge, which showed that there was not much gasoline left. He asked other people for advice, but no one answered except Su Xiaoqian.
"Anqing, Lu Tianyi, did you hear that? The car is almost out of gas!"
In this environment, Bai Yan did not believe that the two of them would fall asleep at the same time. He looked in the rearview mirror, but saw a scene that made his scalp tingle—
The ones sitting behind them were An Qing and Lu Tianyi, they were clearly two headless corpses whose heads had been chopped off!
The host and hostess are sitting in the car with their heads on their laps. When Bai Yan observed, they had already raised their pale hands and were slowly reaching towards their necks...
what happened
When did An Qing and Lu Tianyi disappear
These two headless corpses, how long have they been sitting in the back of the car
A series of questions made Bai Yan's heart numb, he stepped on the brakes suddenly, the inertia made Su Xiaoqian dizzy, and she leaned forward.
"Bai Yan, what are you doing! You didn't even warn me when you braked?"
"Look at the back, is there a human sitting behind us!"
Before the car stopped, Bai Yan broke out of the car.
Knowing that something had happened, Su Xiaoqian unbuckled her seat belt, lifted her skirt and followed closely behind.
When she got out of the car, she glanced at the back, only to be terrified—the two headless corpses in the back seat rushed forward, clinging to the front seat, and their arms were already hanging on the back of the front seat superior. If they hadn't gotten out of the car, these four pale arms would definitely wrap around their necks.
Knowing that a ghost had entered the car, Su Xiaoqian was frightened and ran forward, and it took a long time to see Bai Yan in front of her.
After running forward for a long distance, Bai Yan stopped and started to walk forward slowly to save energy.
When he got out of the car, his glasses were taken away by ghost hands. So, when Su Xiaoqian came running over, he cautiously drew a distance from her, and he was relieved to be sure that this was a long-haired woman with a long head.
"Su Xiaoqian."
He called out tentatively, and only after hearing the woman's breathless response did he completely dispel his doubts.
Through the rain curtain, he looked back, and there was no ghost following Su Xiaoqian, so he stood there waiting for her, and the two were able to meet.
"What's going on? Why did An Qing and Lu Tianyi suddenly disappear?" Su Xiaoqian came to her side, panting, "Those two bastards, when did they get in the car?"
"I don't know, anyway, I stepped on the brakes as soon as I saw them." Bai Yan shook his head, and when Su Xiaoqian regained his breath, he walked forward with her slowly, discussing what happened in the car while walking: "What happened in the villa?" Faceless ghost, its ability may not only modify memory and manipulate corpses, but today is the last day of the game. There are posts on the forum that the closer the game is to the end, the less the game binds ghosts, and the more threats ghosts pose to us. Big."
"That's right." Su Xiaoqian stepped over a puddle and said with difficulty against the rain: "The host and hostess have already remembered that they died, and now we have to deal with three ghosts, of course it is not easy... Wait, look at the front Someone!"
Bai Yan raised his head and looked in the direction Su Xiaoqian pointed. On the far side of the road, there was a man holding an umbrella and standing under a tree illuminated by street lights.
Behind the tree is a bus stop sign, and this person is waiting for the bus in the rain.
The white light of the street lamp shone on the lush green trees, and cast a layer of bleak green on the people under the lamp, which was inexplicably bleak.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiaoqian hesitated and said: "Bai Yan, should we go over and ask for directions? I think it will rain for a long time. We are not familiar with this place, so we can find someone to ask about the situation and find a place to hide rain."
"Okay." Bai Yan replied, in fact, he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly from such a long distance. He could only see that the person's face was covered by the umbrella and was swayed back and forth by the wind, and he seemed to be a normal person.
Of course, it is also possible that his astigmatism is so severe that it creates an illusion in the rain.
"Okay, let's go now, but what if he is a ghost? It's midnight, it's so suspicious when you think about it."
Su Xiaoqian has read many forum posts, and she knows that the game scene is huge, except for ghosts, other NPCs living in the game world are no different from ordinary people.
She understands the truth, and she was the one who proposed to ask for directions, but the ghost in the car gave her a lot of fright, and when it came time to act, she was still a little timid: "The more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel, why don't we Or don't go...”
"If he's really a ghost, he won't let us go if we don't go there." Bai Yan wiped the water from his face, his head slightly dizzy: "Let's go and see the situation, so we can take precautions in advance if there is any problem. "
"… er, too."
The two reached an agreement and walked slowly towards the street light.
When they were halfway there, the man shifted his body and walked behind the tree. Under the cover of the tree trunk, the two could only see half of the umbrella exposed.
The bus stop sign was located far away, and the two walked slowly, so it took a long time for the two to walk over.
When there were still a dozen steps away from that person, a gust of wind blew over and overturned that person's umbrella.
The man clings to the handle of the umbrella, and the cold rain hits his bare neck, chilling the hearts of both of them.
That man has no head.
no head.
Take a closer look, isn't his clothes the same as the hostess used to wear!
"Damn! The haunted soul lingers!"
Su Xiaoqian cursed secretly, this time she had experience, she turned around and ran away before Bai Yan.
Su Xiaoqian ran desperately, and ran to a crossroad ahead, but saw a pale body standing on the sidewalk, blocked by the hostess.
She turned her head again and saw the host holding the bare umbrella handle, also standing on the side of the road behind her, getting closer and closer to her.
"Bai Yan! Where are we going?" She yelled anxiously, only to find that Bai Yan was standing still like a fool, pulling the badge on his clothes. Seeing that the breastplate could not be torn off, he simply took off the tuxedo, rolled it into a ball, and threw it to the left—
"Go to the right." Bai Yan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Amidst the crackling rain, Su Xiaoqian couldn't hear what Bai Yan said at all, but she understood Bai Yan's movements.
Before her brain could react, Su Xiaoqian's body began to follow suit. She took off her badge just like Bai Yan did, and threw the badge far to the left, then turned around and ran to the right...
After running for an unknown amount of time, the two stopped again. This time, they finally saw no one around.
Probably because the badge was torn off, the headless corpse did not catch up again, giving the two of them some time to breathe.
"No, I can't do it anymore. If I run again, I will definitely die of exhaustion..." Su Xiaoqian gasped for breath and shivered uncontrollably: "I'm so cold, I'm about to be drenched to death by the rain, Bai Yan, we still have to stay in this ruined place." How long have you been in the game?"
"Four and a half hours."
Bai Yan took out his phone from his trouser pocket to check the time. With the blessing of the app, the phone is waterproof and electricity-proof, but it was not damaged by the rain.
It rained for several hours outside, not only Su Xiaoqian, but also he couldn't bear it.
After talking to Su Xiaoqian for a few words, Bai Yan started coughing uncontrollably. He looked no better than Su Xiaoqian who was shivering from the cold.
Under the washing of the rain, the foundation used to cover the skin tone has been washed away. Bai Yan's face was terribly pale, but there was a morbid blush. Fortunately, Su Xiaoqian was dazed by the rain, so she didn't notice this, nor did she notice that Bai Yan's hair had faded slightly.
"No, we have to find a warm place to shelter from the rain. If you faint, you will die in the game!" Even though she was drenched in the rain and wanted to huddle into a ball, Su Xiaoqian cheered up and forced herself to move forward.
It rained in the middle of the night, and it finally became lighter at this time, but the intense raindrops hit the two of them, and they still stumbled their footsteps.
The drainage system in this place is not very effective, and the ground is full of large and small puddles. At this time, the two of them didn't have the energy to dodge one by one. They stepped on the potholed road with one foot deep and the other shallow, and walked towards a building in the distance.
After running away for a long time in the rainy night, both of them were exhausted. Unlike the gloomy green light under the street lamp, the soft and warm light in the hotel was so reassuring and trustworthy.
"No, I really can't, even if it's a magic cave inside, I still have to go in to shelter from the rain." Su Xiaoqian swore, "Bai Yan, let's go in and have a look."
"Is this what we can do?"
Su Xiaoqian looked at the blood on Bai Yan's clothes, and was speechless for a while. The heavy rain washed away the blood on his face, but made the blood stain on the white shirt even more serious. If they walked in like this, they would definitely It makes people think they are a murderer couple.
Especially Bai Yan's pale face soaked in blisters, although he looked handsome, but looking at the knife in his pocket, no one would believe him if he was said to be a good person.
"How about, why don't you take off your clothes?" Su Xiaoqian hesitated, feeling that it was very unkind for people to take off their clothes in the heavy rain.
Moreover, not only Bai Yan, when Bai Yan stabbed the knife, she was also standing beside her, with blood all over her body.
App is very picky about her, there is no petticoat in the maid outfit at all, if the clothes are taken off, she will be naked.
Or, just go in and forget it
Before she could figure out a solution, Bai Yan said again, "Are we rich?"
That's right, they ran away without even receiving their wages. How could they have the money in this world to pay for the house
Although it is not impossible to stay in the house directly to avoid the rain, but to go in naked in the middle of the night, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a psychosis.
And if the headless ghost came after them again, it would be very troublesome for them to be trapped in the house. In a small hotel like this, there is usually one person on night shift, so why not just...
Su Xiaoqian suddenly had a bold idea.
Su Xiaoqian turned her head excitedly, met Bai Yan's gaze, and was relieved to find that the radio waves of the two matched.
As expected of a companion who ran away together, I didn't expect you to have such a bold idea.
The two looked at each other, exchanged a few words briefly, and then they understood and prepared to act.
Because Bai Yan's white shirt was too conspicuous, Su Xiaoqian took a step first, and confirmed from the door that there was only one person at the front desk, and she was a helpless woman, so she quietly gestured to Bai Yan, signaling him to come over quickly.
After Bai Yan passed by, the two went straight into the shop.
When the two rushed in, the little girl on the night shift in the hotel was dozing off, her head biting. It’s a small broken hotel like theirs, the location is remote, almost no one comes after nine o’clock, and it’s easy to find a job, hard to resign, and it’s hard to find a second person who is willing to take over the job when the boss opens it. I am used to going out for surfing during the day, and resting my chin in the hotel at night to catch up on sleep.
Anyway, she can't be fired.
"Accommodation, you need to register first..."
Hearing the sound, the little girl rubbed her eyes and raised her head to welcome the rare guest.
As a result, when she opened her eyes, she couldn't help widening her eyes, and was so frightened that she even forgot to make a sound.
In her sight, a couple of dogs and men rushed into the hotel. The woman's skirt was splattered with blood, like a victim of a justice show, while the man carried a knife with blood on its tip.
What's even more frightening is that the man's white shirt was also covered with large chunks of blood, and he had a murderer's smile on his face, which made the little girl understand everything in a thunderbolt—
This pair of dogs and men! They killed someone not long ago, and now they rushed into the hotel, and they are coming to kill her soon!
It's over! Tomorrow she will be on the legal program!
The little girl opened her mouth to scream, but Bai Yan covered her mouth with her hands. Su Xiaoqian slashed her neck from behind, and she passed out as soon as she rolled her eyes.
"I heard that if you don't master the strength well, you will kill people. Is she okay?"
After getting the key card and moving the little girl into a room, Su Xiaoqian finally regained her long-lost conscience.
Bai Yan poked under the little girl's nose, and replied casually, "She's still alive, she's not dead."
Su Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried, fearing that the little girl would be fooled.
She still didn't want to harm the stupid NPC when it had nothing to do with life or death.
After entering the warm room, the two of them were finally not so cold.
However, although there is a place to stay, now is not the time to rest.
Su Xiaoqian thought for a while, let Bai Yan turn her back first, took off the little girl's clothes by herself, changed the clothes of the two of them, tidied up the little girl's clothes, then let Bai Yan turn around, and the two began to cut the sheets with a table knife , twist the sheet into a rope.
Then they tied the little girl to the chair with a newly made rope, and tied it firmly.
Su Xiaoqian felt that this was enough, but obviously she wasn't ruthless enough. She watched Bai Yan pick up the pillow cover on the bed, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth without saying a word, and stood in front of the chair for a while to make sure that the little girl couldn't spit it out before she was satisfied. nodded.
"Su Xiaoqian, go and check other vacant rooms, and whether there are other doors and windows in the hotel. My clothes are not convenient for going out. If someone finds out, I will be in trouble." Bai Yan even did things like tying people up and gagging Now, I don't feel guilty about instructing a girl to work: "I'm here to watch the front desk, lest she scream."
You are always so tightly blocked, can she still call
Although Su Xiaoqian was full of dissatisfaction in her heart, what Bai Yan said was true, she agreed, and then went to the bathroom to get a towel and wiped her wet hair.
"By the way, Bai Yan, I always feel that your face seems to be a little paler." After coming out, Su Xiaoqian asked suspiciously: "And your hair seems to be a little faded?"
"I dyed my hair red before, because it was too non-mainstream, so I dyed it black again." Bai Yan thought that what should come will always come, but he still made up an excuse seriously: "As for the white face... my body It's a little uncomfortable, it's been soaked in rain for too long, it should be soaked in water."
"Oh."
The reason Bai Yan gave was reasonable, so Su Xiaoqian didn't think much about it. She pulled the clothes on her chest, walked out, and couldn't help sighing.
The little girl's clothes were clean, but her figure was too petite, which made her a little out of breath.
After going out, Su Xiaoqian went straight to each empty room, determined all the locations with windows, and found the back door of the hotel.
Afterwards, she told Bai Yan about the information, and the two agreed to call if something happened, Su Xiaoqian stood at the front desk, temporarily taking over the identity of the little girl, and stared at the front door vigilantly, guarding against the headless ghost.
…
The place where Bai Yan guards the prison is a room with windows.
This room is located on the first floor of the hotel, so that if something happens, he can escape through the window. Similarly, if the headless ghost enters through the hotel gate, Su Xiaoqian can also escape from this room.
The size of the hotel is small, so the facilities in each room are quite simple.
The room Bai Yan was in had only one chair, and the little girl was tied to the chair, so he could only sit on the bed, staring at the window motionlessly, ready to call to escape at any time.
At about three o'clock in the morning, the little girl woke up.
The little girl woke up in a daze, took ten seconds to confirm that she was bound, and began to struggle with whimpering.
The hotel's sound insulation is quite poor, seeing the little girl shaking and creaking the chair, Bai Yan took out the table knife and slapped the little girl on the face.
"Girl, please be quiet."
Seeing the cold light of the table knife, the little girl shivered and nodded with tears in her eyes. In the following time, she stared wide-eyed in horror, and stared at Bai Yan in the second half of the night until five o'clock in the morning.
"Okay, you can call now."
After being exposed to the rain in the middle of the night, Bai Yan's face was so red that his hand holding the knife trembled a little, his whole body was top-heavy.
He tried his best to control his voice so that his voice would not tremble along with it.
Before leaving, he untied the pillow cover that was stuffed in the little girl's mouth, and cut the rope around her body along the way.
However, even though Bai Yan indicated that she could leave, the little girl still shook her head like a rattle and dared not move. She was afraid that this was the murderer playing tricks on her. Once she turned around, the knife would mercilessly stab her in the back.
Let the little girl loose, and Bai Yan will no longer care about her. He directly clicked the return button on the screen and returned to the real world.
"Huh? Where are the others?" The little girl watched the young man disappear before her eyes, and her spirit was hidden in the air. She couldn't help trembling even more. Didn't she meet a murderer, did she meet a ghost
After staying there for two seconds, she cautiously found the cell phone that had been thrown on the bed, called the police, and tremblingly said, "Uncle policeman, I met a ghost... No, I saw a murderer!"
The little girl glanced at the skirt she was wearing. The skirt was covered with blood. Although the man disappeared, the female prisoner might still be there. Even if she really encountered a supernatural event, she would admit it even if she was criticized and reported to the police as a false police officer. How could face matter
The police on the other end of the phone were very helpful, and immediately dispatched the police after asking her address.
Despite getting the promise from the police, the little girl still didn't dare to hang up the phone. She stood in the room tremblingly, listening to the movement around her vigilantly.
"Boom boom boom."
"Boom boom boom."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"What's knocking on your door?"
The little girl trembled and said in a crying voice, "I, I don't know!"
She was so scared that she retreated to the window, ready to climb out of the window as soon as the door opened, but just as she pressed her back against the glass, she heard a gloomy knocking sound behind her.
"Boom boom boom."
"Boom boom boom."
She turned her head stiffly, and was horrified to see a headless corpse stepping back and forth, rhythmically clasping the window with its knuckles.
Squeak.
The long knocking on the door finally stopped.
The door opened.
