After Ruan Bai figured it out, his movements paused, but he didn't react too much.
She still didn't understand what the boy meant by "Get out of here". If it was to leave the kitchen, she had already come out now, but if it was to ask her to leave this room, it was impossible.
She is already a player, no matter what, she must stay here and clear the game for three days.
Here are the rules.
It's just that the shape of the boy's mouth before he disappeared made Ruan Bai unavoidably feel a little dazed.
The reason is also very simple, because she has already encountered similar situations.
In the second round of the game, the dean of No. 4 Middle School did the same thing to her before disappearing.
She made a gesture of the DSAS company icon to Ruan Bai, and shook her head at Ruan Bai.
At that time, Ruan Bai didn't understand what shaking his head meant, but when he thought about the end of Second Uncle Shen, Ruan Bai understood it instantly.
The meaning of the dean should be to let her, who has already noticed something, stop paying attention to the DSAS company.
Perhaps these ghosts really have their own thoughts, and they even know more than the players!
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
In this case, she wasn't sure if it was a coincidence... So in order to verify her guess, she had to find more opportunities to contact ghosts in this game.
The owner of the castle has adopted 14 children. Assuming that all 14 children will appear once in turn, if she tries her best, she can get along with ghosts and monsters more than ten times in one game!
After finishing the planning, Ruan Bai went to the restaurant with simple dishes and put them on the table one at a time.
The restaurant is located not far from the kitchen, at a corner near the stairs, where a very long table is placed, with a tablecloth embroidered with a family of four eating patterns on the table.
On both sides of the dining table, fourteen chairs were neatly arranged.
Behind each chair, there is a small sign, with different names written in childish handwriting, corresponding to different children.
Seeing that there was food to eat, the other players had already gathered.
They randomly pulled out the chairs in the dining room and sat down in a hurry.
One of the male players seemed to be very hungry, so he ran over without saying a word and squeezed the others away, grabbing the front position.
His actions were so reckless that the female player who bumped into him screamed and gave him a dissatisfied look.
But the male player acted as if he didn't see it, he laughed twice, and after sitting down, he picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
Because Ruan Bai had to run back and forth to serve the dishes, he was the last one to sit down.
It's just that when she came to the restaurant, she saw Xue Se standing beside her without taking a seat.
"Xue Se, what's the matter with you, are you not feeling well?"
Seeing Xue Se like this, Ruan Bai was taken aback, and looked at her in confusion.
"I'm a little uncomfortable," the girl nodded, and said softly, "You can accompany me to the bathroom."
After Ruan Bai heard this, before he had time to reply, Xue Se shook his head at her and made a gesture quietly.
Xue Se was telling her not to sit down.
After Ruan Bai realized this, his heart sank slightly.
She immediately changed to a nervous and concerned expression, nodded and agreed to accompany Xue Se to the toilet.
The two of them left the restaurant in a hurry without even opening their chairs.
Ruan Bai could see that Xue Se probably wanted to go with her to a place where no one was around, to explain something.
Without hesitating for too long, the two walked out together.
However, before taking a few steps, they heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen!
There seemed to be someone's groaning, the sound of chairs colliding on the floor when some players left in a panic, there was a faint sound, and there was the crisp sound of knives falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was the high-pitched scream of the eldest lady.
"Dead, dead!—"
problem occurs!
Hearing this voice, Ruan Bai's footsteps stopped immediately.
And Xue Se glanced back lightly, her light brown eyes were very calm, without any waves.
"Do you know what's going on?" Seeing this, Ruan Bai lowered his voice and asked.
With Xue Se like this, she didn't show the slightest surprise at all, but seemed to have predicted it in advance.
Xue Se nodded: "No accident, he should have sat in the dead boy's chair."
When she said this, she frowned slightly: "The number of players is the same as that of children. I don't think it's a coincidence. Besides, if it's a family, why aren't there chairs belonging to the parents in the dining room?"
Therefore, Xue Se felt that something was wrong with this restaurant.
She predicted that something might happen in the restaurant, so before Ruan Bai was seated, she made an excuse to take Ruan Bai away.
When Ruan Bai heard this, he seemed to realize something.
14 kids, 14 players, 14 chairs.
If the chairs in the dining room were assigned to each child, it wouldn't be surprising that the player who sat on the boy's ghost chair in the kitchen would die.
Ruan Bai went back to take a look lightly, and found that the player who fell down was the player who grabbed the front row seat at the beginning.
His body was on the floor, the chair was overturned, and the small wooden sign with the name "Billy" dropped to the ground.
And the bloody kitchen knife was stuck in his stomach.
The blood slowly flowed from his wound and fell on the carpet, staining the carpet with a black blood stain.
After the little boy disappeared, the kitchen knife also disappeared.
I didn't expect it to appear again, it would be on this occasion.
"What happened, how did he die?"
"Where did the knife come from, has anyone seen it?"
Many of the players next to him were seasoned, and apart from being a little surprised at the beginning, they quickly devoted their energy to investigating the cause of death and groping for the rules of the game.
The players sitting opposite and next to the dead player also reacted, saying that the knife appeared out of thin air, and suddenly inserted into the male player's stomach.
"During the meal just now, he seemed to say something," said the player sitting next to the dead man, "as if someone was calling him, or asking him some questions, he responded, and followed the knife." It just appeared."
Someone called him
When Ruan Bai heard this, he cast his eyes on the male player who fell on the ground.
He died very quickly, without struggling or overreacting, as if he was asleep, he closed his eyes and fell down.
And before he died, he was eating.
Seeing that they couldn't find anything to ask, the others went back to eat one after another.
Except for those few rookies with disheveled faces, most of the old players were very calm.
The eldest lady was even more straightforward, she just rolled her eyes and passed out, and was helped to the side by her teammates.
Ruan Bai and Xue Se looked at each other and returned to the restaurant.
In silence, they ate their first supper.
After eating, it was half past six.
Considering what the black-robed woman said, they cannot go out before 8:00 pm, several players went upstairs and began to allocate rooms.
These rooms are clean and medium in size, with two beds and a separate toilet and bathroom, and there is a clock on the wall at the entrance.
Ruan Bai and Xue Se picked a room at random, walked in, and took the time to wash up before seven o'clock.
After all these matters were resolved, the two sat on the bed together and began to analyze everything that had just happened, as well as certain game death conditions that could be figured out.
"I suspect that the male player who died just now is repeating the death process of the kid in the kitchen," Ruan Bai thought for a while, and said, "I guess what happened to the male player is the experience of the little boy during his lifetime."
She found paper and a pen, and wrote down the lyrics that were released on the third floor when the ghost first appeared—
"In the silent castle, fourteen children lived; the eldest sister went mad and killed the eldest brother; dear father, dear mother;
Tell us, where did the kitchen knives go? "
"I've paid attention to that ghost's body," Ruan Bai pointed to the second line of the lyrics, and said, "His body is the same as that player's, with only a knife wound and no signs of struggle... So I think, At the beginning, he should have eaten the drugged meal, fell into a coma, and was hacked to death by his sister."
If it was time to stay awake, the little boy would have resisted no matter what before he died.
So obviously, his state before his death was abnormal, coupled with the behavior of the male player, how the boy died, we have clues.
"In that case... the role I play is the 'biggest sister' in the lyrics," Ruan Bai thought for a while, then continued, "This game may want to put the identities of those children on the players."
There are only fourteen seats in the restaurant, which either means that adults don't eat with them, or that this place should only be lived by children, and adults won't come over most of the time.
In this case, the cooks are usually the oldest girls.
When the singing sounded, there were two main characters in the lyrics, one was the "biggest sister" who was the perpetrator, and the other was the "biggest brother" who was the victim.
It can be said that from the moment Ruan Bai agreed to cook and stepped into the kitchen, she "claimed" the identity of the perpetrator eldest sister invisibly.
And the male player who sat in the boy's place and ate the food she cooked was also actively "claiming" the identity of the victim.
Judging from the empty castle today, these children must be dead.
What the player will face next is to reproduce the process of the child's death in sequence.
Just become the perpetrator, the solution to the predicament will be very easy, just follow the lyrics.
But once she becomes a victim, how can she escape the dead end
"I'm pretty much what you think," Xue Se nodded after listening to her deduction, "However, I also discovered something else."
She took out a folded black and white photo from her backpack and showed it to Ruan Bai.
In the middle of the pattern, there are fourteen children standing in a row on it, the oldest is only eight or nine years old, and the youngest is only three or four years old.
The children wore identical black robes, held hands and smiled identically to the camera.
And behind all the children, there are figures of a man and a woman.
Their heads are not photographed, and the top of the photo just cuts to their necks. Players can only see their bodies. Through their decent clothes, they can see that they are extraordinary.
This is a group photo of the children living in the castle.
Xuese turned the photo over and found that the names of the children were written on the back of the photo, from left to right, from the oldest to the youngest.
Among them, Ruan Bai recognized the corresponding name of the little boy, and as expected, it was "billy".
"You can sit randomly in the seat, and there are more than a dozen people eating the meal. I think it's more than these two things that really killed the male player." Xuese said lightly.
"If the others didn't lie, and the male player was really called before he died, then no accident, someone should have called the name Billy to him, and he agreed."
The game will always give players a chance to break the game, and will not trap the player to death from the very beginning.
The male player was not stabbed to death as soon as he sat down to eat, but he ate half of it, and the accident happened after he responded.
No matter what the reason was, whether it was because he didn't hear clearly, or he responded casually, from the moment the male player responded, he was equivalent to admitting that he was Billy.
Naturally, the identity of the little boy Billy has been implemented on him since then.
This is the main reason for his fatal blow.
The girl's fingers flicked across the row of names, and finally landed on the name on the far right: "Your identity has been determined to be the eldest sister, this should be your name."
Ruan Bai glanced at it, it was Cindy.
In the following time, this name is likely to appear in front of her in various ways, and she should try her best to avoid admitting that she is Cindy.
After the two of them simply sorted out their thoughts, before they knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening.
During the period, Xue Se also asked Ruan Bai if he had any plans.
"That's right," Ruan Bai thought for a while, and still told her, "I want to observe ghosts recently and understand their characteristics, so I will take the initiative to find opportunities to approach them in the future."
Although Xuese is young, she is very smart, calm and self-possessed, good at observing details, not like a junior high school student at all.
More importantly, she is a player entering the game for the second time, and she is not considered an old man, nor does she have the fixed thinking of many old players in her mind.
Perhaps in this game, Xue Se could discover some details that she hadn't thought of before when facing ghosts.
Hearing Ruan Bai's bold and reckless plan, Xue Se didn't show any disapproval, but just nodded to show that she knew.
The two said a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, they turned off the lights and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep.
But before Ruan Bai fell asleep, there was another burst of singing with a strange tune outside the door!
“… The second brother learned of the death, in the dark night secretly crying; One quiet morning he dreamed that his youngest sister was growing horns; Dear father, dear mother; I will cut off the head of death, protect my homeland… ”
In the deathly silence, the children's chorus echoed very clearly throughout the castle.
Another crisis has been triggered.
The moment Ruan Bai heard this voice, he suddenly opened his eyes.
She turned on the light, looked at the time on the wall, and found that it was only half past eight.
It has only been three hours since the last singing sounded.
Something is wrong... The frequency of this singing sound is too frequent.
