Taoist temple
What does the teacher bring the students here for
Ruan Bai didn't think about the particularly bizarre aspects. She was more inclined to guess that these coastal areas usually have the habit of worshiping, or that they are activities similar to spring outings organized by the school.
When she was in school, some schools would organize group outings for students every year.
When Ruan Bai was in high school, he also walked with his teachers for a day, and went to the Confucius Temple in the mountains to worship.
A group of students fell asleep in the car because they were too tired when they came back.
It's just that ordinary spring outing activities will certainly not cause so many deaths.
Especially the behavior of these two ghosts is too weird, it doesn't look like an accidental death.
Could it be, what happened to them in this Taoist temple
Ruan Bai was very confused, but after the two ghosts came here, they started to wander aimlessly like flies out of control.
They didn't dare to approach the Taoist temple, and they didn't want to leave, so they could only hover outside.
Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of him, knowing that they had to go in once today.
It was getting darker and darker outside, and the wind was getting stronger.
Players walked into the Taoist temple one after another, leaving weird ghosts standing outside.
Ruan Bai was surprised to find that the space in the Taoist temple was bigger than she imagined.
Because no one has cleaned it all year round, there is a thick layer of dust, the pillars in the house are rotten, and the statue in the center of the Taoist temple is also blurred.
After Ruan Bai entered, he glanced around and found traces of many people coming.
There are still a few schoolbags and a bag of rotten food here. The schoolbags are embroidered with the same pattern as the school uniform, which should be left by the students ten years ago.
Looking at the anxious ghosts outside, and at the solemn statues in the Taoist temple, Ruan Bai had a bold guess in his heart.
She suspects that the two ghosts outside want to come in, maybe there is not much deep reason, they just want to get these schoolbags...
This kind of ghosts often have obsessions in their minds. They were too young before they died, and they may still be concerned about the schoolbags that were accidentally left in the Taoist temple.
When they turned into ghosts, this kind of concern stayed and deepened into obsession.
And why don't they come in
Could it be that the god statue here has the ability to expel ghosts
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai raised his head and carefully observed the statue here.
It was very old, covered with dust and cobwebs, with holes in many places, the color was almost faded, and the whole face was blurred.
Ruan Bai couldn't recognize which god it was, and she preferred it to be a small god created by residents of remote small places, like the mermaid granny.
When she was looking at the statue, she could feel the mermaid bell on her chest, as if some power was about to burst out of it.
On the other side, She Xiaoxue and the others also found the leftovers of the students ten years ago, and walked over to look through them.
Not surprisingly, they found the student's diary in the schoolbag.
On that diary, the child's childish handwriting was still clearly printed on it.
After carefully reading through these notes, everything that happened on this island before was clearly presented to everyone—
Ten years ago, a primary school on the coast organized a spring outing. More than a dozen teachers and 200 students came to this small island by boat.
Their destination was the Taoist temple on the small island. The reason why they decided here was that in the eyes of the residents at that time, this Taoist temple was a place not far away, with some characteristics, and worth visiting.
There are also aborigines on this island, but a large number of young people have moved to the land. Most of the people on the island are old people, and fields can be seen everywhere.
The children learned from the teacher that the gods in the Taoist temple were specially designed to protect the island residents, but neither the teacher nor the students knew the specific protection method.
It's just that they were unlucky. Shortly after entering the Taoist temple, they encountered a storm.
So the teachers decided to rest in the Taoist temple first, and then go back after the rain is over.
Ruan Bai and the others now know that the teachers and students ten years ago did not encounter a storm during the cruise, but encountered rain after arriving at the destination.
Subconsciously, they all thought they were shipwrecked because of the newspaper reports, but that wasn't the case.
When the players saw this, the sky outside the house was completely dark.
A gust of wind whizzed by, crackling the branches outside.
It rained.
The ghosts outside are getting more and more restless. When players accidentally see them, they can feel the cold killing intent from the ghosts in their eyes.
After that, the things introduced in the diary began to develop in a weird direction.
It rained for a long time, and when the rain ended, the teachers thought they couldn't let the children stay in the Taoist temple, so they decided to go out in the rain in the evening and ask nearby residents for help.
It's just that for some reason, the nearby residents turned a blind eye to them and refused to approach them.
Even worse, after the rain ended, the signal on the island suddenly became extremely poor, and they couldn't call for help.
The previous boat had already left, and the original residents of the island had a cold attitude. Some people even ran away voluntarily when they saw them.
After staying on the island for a day, many teachers were on the verge of collapse.
For a whole day, lost contact on the island, thinking about how the parents of the students would criticize, and not knowing how to leave the island... These things are enough to overwhelm the teachers.
Many teachers even knelt in front of the statues and begged for protection from the gods.
But at this moment, a mysterious ship suddenly appeared in the harbor of the island.
It came quietly, like a savior, breaking the hopeless atmosphere.
"The teacher is very happy. They said that the owner of the boat agreed to take us back after hearing about our incident," the child wrote at the end of the diary. "The teacher is very happy, and we are also very happy. We can go home now."
After writing here, there will be no more.
But what happened after that is not hard to guess.
That mysterious cruise ship must be the owner's cruise ship that the player stayed on before.
On the ship, something must have happened, so that the teacher and the children almost all died on the owner's cruise ship, only 18 children survived and were sent back by the owner.
Ten years later, the owner's cruise ship appeared again, accepted the invitation, and took away the 18 grown-up children.
"Something's wrong..." She Xiaoxue murmured, a strange color appeared on her usually plain face, "Why is this..."
"We know almost all the information on the cruise ship," she said in disbelief. "Why is there only so little information on the island? Why do we have to go back to the cruise ship to find out what happened to them?"
When exchanging information with Ruan Bai in the bathroom before, She Xiaoxue told Ruan Bai that she felt that the amount of information on the cruise ship was seriously insufficient.
Through this, she speculates that the venue of this game is definitely not just the one on the cruise ship, there must be other locations.
She also guessed right, after three rounds of games, the players came to this island.
They also found the diaries of the children who had been here ten years ago, and got a lot of information.
But what shocked She Xiaoxue was that in these diaries, there was no detailed description of what happened to the teacher and students!
It's okay if you don't talk about it, but judging from the records in the diary, those teachers and students didn't have any accidents on the island.
If the player wants to know what happened to the teacher and the child, he has to go back to the cruise ship to find out.
However, she has already checked the information on the cruise ship...
Could it be that there is any information on the cruise ship that they haven't discovered, or guessed
This discovery was tantamount to a severe blow to She Xiaoxue, causing her to fall into confusion.
Seeing this, Ruan Bai was thoughtful.
She Xiaoxue was confused because she couldn't figure it out.
She naturally believed in She Xiaoxue's search ability, how many A-level games were no problem for Xiaoxue.
It's impossible for her to make such a low-level mistake. Since she said that she can't find any information, it means that she really searched for all the information that can be found.
So, how did these teachers and students die
Is it possible that we have to wait for a day to pass and return to the boat to find out
There is also the attitude of the owner and the steward, which does not seem to be fake, they are real, and they are very, very unwilling to let players come to the island.
They've been trying to buy time and don't want players to come to the island.
While meditating, Ruan Bai recalled everything that happened in the past.
18 murdered survivors, 200 students who disappeared, strange ghosts, and the master trying his best to delay time...
What exactly did they go through, why did the surviving children lose their humanity ten years later and all killed people
After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Bai suddenly opened his eyes.
She hurried to the side of the schoolbag, flipped through the child's notebook several times, until she turned to the last page, and saw the last sentence—
"...they say the owner of the boat heard about us and agreed to take us back..."
… she thought, she knew what was going on.
She Xiaoxue's previous thinking was not wrong, she was just clever but was mistaken by her cleverness.
This game is very cleverly designed, because it just applies the player's inertial thinking and acts in reverse!
When she, She Xiaoxue and others were guessing the plot of the game before, they proposed a concept called "scene reproduction".
Players have discovered through the huge game data that there are often many ghosts in the game, and the game plot and the ghosts are all committed to recreating what happened in the past to the players.
For example, in the dungeon of the abandoned castle, the players are allowed to bring in the characters of the children one by one, and in the fourth high school of death, the situations that once happened in the school are also reproduced one by one.
Therefore, after boarding the boat, both Ruan Bai and She Xiaoxue subconsciously felt that those three games had happened before.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, because judging from all signs, the children have indeed played games, otherwise there would be no kid in the hide-and-seek game.
However, one thing has been overlooked by everyone.
And this is what the children's diaries just wanted to tell the players.
That is, the boat on which the children set out was not the owner's boat at all!
From the child's diary, we can know that when they came here, they took a normal boat. Later, the boat sailed away, and the teacher couldn't contact the captain at all.
After they were desperate, they met the owner's cruise ship and decided to ask the owner for help.
In this way, there is a very serious contradiction - what happened alone in one place cannot be reproduced in another place at all.
Since the game wants to reproduce everything that happened in the past, then naturally, only the past on this site will be reproduced, and the past from other places will not appear.
Whether it's an abandoned castle or Dead Middle School, in these two games, the location of the accident has not changed in any way.
Therefore, the three games of catching the murderer, telling stories and hide-and-seek were not played by the children when they came to the island, but after they were killed and boarded the master's boat.
Why is the amount of information on the cruise ship insufficient, and why can’t find out what happened to the teachers and students? Because from the very beginning, the game has put the past of the teachers and children in front of the players!
