In addition to the secrets of the mermaid village, there is also the inner ghost among the players, which must also be caught.
Ruan Bai guessed that that person knew how to cut the wooden signs outside on the first night, which meant that she should know the function of these wooden signs. On the other hand, she knew more about Mermaid Village than other players. .
If this person can be caught, perhaps more details can be obtained by torture.
But how do you find out
While Ruan Bai was thinking, Gu San thought of something, and said to Ruan Bai lightly: "I am going to tell some of the wooden cards to other players, and exchange some news by the way, but I tend to only give the news to you." More old players who cleared the game."
He didn't explain in detail why he did this, but Ruan Bai could figure it out. Veteran players have experienced more worlds, and their investigation methods are faster than newcomers. Moreover, they can grasp the speed of communication with each other well.
Among the remaining 12 people, the oldest ones are Qin Yu who has cleared the game three times and the female white-collar worker. Ruan Bai thought about it and said to Gu San: "Or, just tell Qin Yu."
"I thought you would be more inclined to that gentle lady," Gu San said, "She looks more kind, doesn't she?"
Ruan Bai spread his hands at him, and said helplessly, "I'm not stupid."
Her society in those years was not for nothing.
Ruan Bai didn't believe that a person who had experienced three games would still show affection to her who could only cry.
Ruan Bai is not a person who will be moved by sweet words. In her opinion, whether a person is really kind or hypocritical depends on his behavior.
Apart from comforting her, did that female white-collar worker actually do anything for her? Even if he casually warned her not to go out at night, or not to act alone, it would make Ruan Bai's impression of her better.
As for Gu San, he doesn't speak like a female white-collar worker, and he hasn't comforted Ruan Bai, but he let Ruan Bai, who is a newcomer, follow along and taught Ruan Bai a lot of rules of the game.
Of course, this is all based on the fact that she can not hold back, and can even help a little.
For such kindness, when Ruan Bai accepted it, she had confidence in her heart, and the unfounded closeness of the female white-collar worker would only make her suspicious.
Not to mention, whether it's her or the high school student Wang Wenwen, they both seem to be very weak and easy to control.
In this kind of escape game, there is only one end for people with their personalities, and that is to be used by others, reduced to cannon fodder, or thrown away as a backstop in critical moments.
She suspected that the female white-collar worker had this kind of idea.
Without continuing to discuss this topic, Ruan Bai took the mermaid bell out of his arms and handed it to Gu San.
"I found this in the Taoist temple." She concealed her act of moving the statue, and said simply, "The bell that rang last night may have come from it."
"This is a prop you found, you keep it away yourself."
Gu San took the mermaid bell, played with it for a while, then returned it to Ruan Bai, and said calmly: "The mission props can be taken away, if it is not necessary, try not to let other players know, if you encounter it again Mermaid, you can take it out and try to see if it works."
Ruan Bai nodded, and obediently put away the mermaid bell.
Without hesitation, the two walked towards the house where Qin Yu and others were borrowing.
Qin Yu's group originally consisted of four people, but one died last night, leaving three.
When they passed by, the corpses had already been cleared away, and Qin Yu and the others were carrying bags, as if they were going to change places for the night.
After Gu San passed by, he briefly explained the purpose of his visit. He erased some details, and only said about the wooden sign, telling them to choose a house with talismans.
The mermaid bell has already been taken away by Ruan Bai, and it may be useless to call "Grandma Mermaid". Gu San also considered this and didn't tell them how he survived last night.
Fortunately, veteran players each have their own means of self-protection, and they will not get to the bottom of it. After confirming that the news is correct, Qin Yu told Gu San what they found today.
"We found a notebook that belonged to a researcher who came to investigate five years ago," he said. "His research topic is about human genetic diseases. In his notebook, his institute paid a lot of money to buy a notebook." Only a 'mermaid', she has the upper body of a human, and the lower/half/body of a fish, with scales on her body."
"Normal deformed people have more or less IQ problems. However, unlike other research subjects, that mermaid has memories of normal people, and can remember her birthplace, as well as her many Relatives of the mermaid."
Curious about this kind of phenomenon, the researcher went to the mermaid village alone, trying to find out how this genetic phenomenon came about.
"What about others?" Gu San suddenly asked, "Since his notebook fell into the player's phone... is he dead?"
According to the habits of the game, he should not have died normally.
"That's right," Qin Yu nodded, "His grave is in the woods to the west. As for the cause of death, I don't know. The villagers here keep it secret."
When he said this, he almost indicated that the "deal" was over.
Gu San didn't continue to ask, nodded and left with Ruan Bai.
It was already evening when they walked out of the new lodging that Qin Yu had found.
It was getting dark earlier than usual in the mountains. At this time, the light outside began to dim, and the mountains and forests in the distance were dark. Accompanied by the sharp cool wind, it gave people an ominous premonition.
Ruan Bai recalled the news he had just learned from Qin Yu, and he vaguely had a general direction for the situation of Mermaid Village in his mind—
First of all, the very beginning of everything should be when the researcher brought his materials and notes to the mermaid village deep in the mountains.
They are all aware of the situation in the mermaid village. There is a certain genetic status in this village, which will make the girls born partly look like mermaids.
In order to gain benefits, normal people in the village sold them to the outside world, which attracted the attention of the research institute.
However, it was obvious that those mermaid girls might have resentment in their hearts for being treated like goods.
The resentment of the woman they met last night was almost written all over their faces.
Coupled with the words "beloved mermaid girl" engraved on the pendant, Ruan Bai felt that there must be a story about her.
That pendant could not have been given to the mermaid by the people in the village. In their eyes, these mermaid girls are probably the same as chickens, ducks, fish and geese.
Therefore, there can only be one person who will send this pendant, and that is the researcher who entered the village five years ago.
I don't know what happened between him and the mermaid, and I don't know what the villagers did to them. In short, the researcher died here in the end, and the mermaid girl began to take revenge at night.
In order to prevent their own people from being attacked, all houses in the village are hung with talismans to exorcise ghosts and exorcisms. These talismans should all be obtained from the mermaid aunt.
However, judging from the reaction of the mermaid grandmother after she took the mermaid bell, the mermaid grandmother probably also has resentment in her heart.
From the words of the old man, we can know that this village probably regarded the mermaid as a patron saint a long time ago.
Ruan Bai had seen a lot of news about children who returned to their ancestors being worshiped as child prodigies by the tribe, and the appearance of those mermaids was very similar to the mermaids in fairy tales. It is easy to understand that ancient people would do this.
However, driven by profit, the mermaids were sold out one after another, and they ended up miserable. These people's respect for the mermaid's mother was probably corrupted by money.
However, if this is the case, why does the mermaid grandmother still protect them
And what is the function of the mermaid bell? Was the mermaid girl last night dead or alive? What happened to her? Where did the adults and little girls in the village go
In addition, there is the player who is the "inner ghost", how much will she know
The mysteries are one after another, but they have too little information, and they can't figure it out for a while.
Fortunately, compared to being confused at the beginning, they at least have a general direction and know where to investigate next.
"Gu San, what are we going to do now?"
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai asked Gu San, "Would you like to visit the researcher's grave?"
Qin Yu and the others must have seen it, but if they go again, there may be new discoveries.
"No, the grave will not be moved. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you can visit it anytime," Gu San firmly refused, "We have more important things to do now."
He tapped his fingers slowly, and raised the corners of his mouth in a playful way: "Guess, when will the person who is going to attack the players cut the wooden cards short?"
Around six or seven in the evening. Ruan Bai thought in his heart.
Because it was just dark time, if it was an hour earlier, Qin Yu and the others could change to another house for the night.
"It's almost six o'clock now," Gu San looked at his watch and said casually, "Let's go, arrest someone?"
Ruan Bai nodded: "You go first, find a place to hide, I will come out alone, and hide outside the house to block people."
She can't let Gu San take it all the time, this time, she should try her best to show her role.
