After a while, option B gradually disappeared, leaving only option A "walk to the hospital".
Then, Du Yixin found that he could move. Looking around, everyone present had different expressions after experiencing the scene just now. But there was no rush to express more thoughts, and everyone walked out of the car uncontrollably. First came the driver, followed by the curly-haired man who was aggressive just now, then Luo Jing and Xiao Rou.
When it was Ying Sheng's turn, he closed his eyes tightly, as if trying to resist the force of external forces, but in the end he failed and walked out reluctantly.
As for Du Yixin himself, his body couldn't control his body, and his head was full of thoughts of "going to the hospital as soon as possible". It was not until he got out of the car that he regained control of his body.
This is the ability of the "protagonist". Once the "protagonist" decides the direction of the plot, the "supporting role" must not disobey. Although I was warned at the beginning, it was only after I experienced the whole process of my body being controlled that I really felt the horror.
Now the curly-haired man stopped talking about drawing cards, and stood aside with his mouth pursed. The order "go to the hospital as soon as possible" is still affecting their brains.
As far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by mountains. Except for the muddy driveway underfoot, tangled bushes grew on both sides, their branches intertwined and impenetrable. The sky was dark without the full moon and stars.
Occasionally, there will be a breeze, and the leaves will rustle when they rub against each other. Other than that, there is no popularity.
"You go from here." The driver pointed out the way to them. "Follow this direction through the woods and you can reach the village. When you leave the village, you will see the hospital. It will take a few minutes to walk."
"The village?" It was the first time Du Yixin heard of this place.
"It used to be a village, I forgot what it was called." The driver scratched his head, "But no one lives there now, probably just a few dilapidated houses."
"What was the village used to do?"
"Who knows. No one lived there before I was born, and I heard it mentioned by an old man in the village. It seems to be cursed or something... Just listen to this kind of talk. In this rural place, old people love this kind of topic."
Several people looked at each other. If you want to put it in reality, you probably won't take it to heart after hearing it. But it's different in this world, and that village may be a key.
"Don't get lost, here." The driver took out a compass from his pocket and handed it to them.
Du Yixin stood closest to the driver and was about to take it. Suddenly, the body could not move again. Time stood still just like before, and options appeared before his eyes again.
[The choice of the protagonist is:]
[A holds a compass by himself]
[B let the companion take the compass]
Will this also affect the later plot? This thing is worthless, and it doesn't look like it's related to customs clearance. Someone can't take a compass and run away by himself.
After a while, the "protagonist" made a choice: [B asked his companion to take the compass]
Then, Du Yixin felt that he could move. The driver offered him the compass: "Take it."
The compass is small and old, it looks like it has been with the driver for many years. The others looked at Du Yixin, hesitated to speak. It was Luo Jing who spoke first: "It seems that you are the first among us to rule out the suspect."
"Oh." The curly-haired man said, "At first, I thought you were the most suspicious."
Du Yixin: "Because I'm more like the protagonist."
Unexpectedly, he would be answered by this, and the curly-haired man was taken aback: "You are really thick-skinned."
Saying goodbye to the driver, they turned on their flashlights and cameras and made their way through the bushes and into the woods. After walking a few steps, I felt lost. The surrounding trees all grow similarly, and the ground is full of moss and gravel, with no reference to identify the direction at all. If it weren't for the faintly visible headlights behind them, they might get lost when they just started.
No wonder it was needed.
Du Yixin went to the front to lead the way, and everyone walked in silence. The mountain road is rugged and has some slopes. Coupled with the falling gravel on the ground, it is easy to slip and fall if you are not careful.
The night wind blows from time to time, although the temperature here is not low, but in such a quiet and gloomy environment, people can't help but get goosebumps. Xiao Rou was dressed coolly, with a long skirt and short sleeves, and she couldn't help hugging her arms subconsciously. Since she was walking far behind, no one noticed her. Or, notice it but don't want to be nosy.
"Cold?" It was the girl named Liuli who took the initiative to ask.
"Ah, it's fine."
Liuli tore off the corner of the person in front of him: "Clothes."
"I'm really fine!" Xiao Rou was a little embarrassed. And the person Liuli called was only wearing a single piece of clothing, so he couldn't let others be half-naked.
Luo Jing was pulled back, quite helpless: "If I take it off again, it will be gone."
Among the people present, except for the curly-haired man who wore a coat, everyone else was unlined. Seeing that several people were staring at him, the curly-haired man gave a wry smile, took off his coat and handed it to Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou was actually a little afraid of this person, so she didn't dare to accept him. In the end, Liuli took it for her and stuffed it into her hand.
"It's really strange." Du Yixin turned his head to see this scene, "So you still have merit."
"Do you still care about what happened just now? I'm just making the most reasonable judgment."
It's not wrong to say that it's just that this guy's attitude is unpleasant.
Nothing happened after that. A few people walked forward in suspense, and soon got out of the woods and came to the village mentioned by the driver.
A lonely road sign was erected at the entrance of the village, mentioning "Liujia Village". It's just that the handwriting is illegible, and the radicals lack horizontal lines and vertical lines. The appearance of the village is also consistent with the description, and it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
Dozens of earthen houses are connected alone, and many earthen walls have been knocked down, exposing the dilapidated inner walls. Walking in the village, a sense of desolation and dilapidation arises spontaneously. And because it was night, it looked even colder against the backdrop of the darkness.
There was silence all around, only the rustling of a group of people stepping through the grass and trees could be heard. Du Yixin held up the camera to shoot, but the progress bar remained unchanged all the way.
"There won't be something running out of nowhere."
Someone behind him spoke, he turned the camera to the rear, and it was Xiao Rou who came into the camera. The girl's face was pale, shrunk in the baggy coat, looking around uneasily.
The curly-haired man on the side smiled: "Don't worry. Even if you have something, you won't come out so early."
Hearing this, Xiao Rou's face turned even paler. Seeing Du Yixin taking pictures of himself, he hurried out of the camera. I always feel that being in the mirror is not a good thing.
After she walked away, she vacated the seat behind her, revealing an unremarkable earthen house. Du Yixin adjusted the focus to zoom in, but found something, and subconsciously stopped.
Luo Jing looked closer: "What's wrong?"
"There seems to be a stone tablet there...but it's blocked by the house, so I can't see it clearly." Du Yixin adjusted the angle again, but he couldn't see it. "Let's go and have a look."
But when he got closer, Xiao Rou couldn't help but let out a scream.
Except for the bored Ying Sheng and the curly-haired man with a bewildered smile, the others also looked more or less solemn.
As far as the eye can see, there is a stretch of cemetery, with nearly a hundred bumps raised. Stones of different sizes are placed in front of each soil bag, which can be used as tombstones, but no names are written on them.
But since they are buried here, they are probably all villagers of Liujia Village. No one has worshiped for decades, and the mud is covered with thick moss. What catastrophe must happen to destroy a village.
There are no pointless locations in the game. In any case, the only way to solve the mystery here is to go to the abandoned hospital first.
At this time, Du Yixin noticed that the progress bar at the bottom of the camera had changed. It moved a short distance to the right, and the number displayed was 5%.
Although I didn't notice when the change happened, it seems that the opportunity is because of this tomb. It seems that the only way to make the progress bar reach 100% is to continue exploring. This may be compared to a "collection element". If they walked too fast just now and only went towards the hospital, they might miss the 5% of the "collection point", and finally the progress bar will be stuck at 95%, and they will not be able to pass the level.
This time is different from the Fairy Tale House, I'm afraid we can't take shortcuts.
He told everyone what he found, and others took out their cameras to check. Although there was no shooting just now, the progress bar all rose to 5%. It appears that their findings can be shared. It has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that there are more people and more strength, which greatly reduces the risk of missing clues. The disadvantage is that if there are dangerous places that need to be checked, I am afraid they will shirk each other.
But it's useless to think too much now.
A few people left the cemetery and walked around the village again, but found nothing else. Walking out of the village is a path almost covered by weeds.
Perhaps many years ago, people in the village walked to the hospital through this path. It's just that now the stone road is almost integrated with the land, only some traces are faintly exposed.
After walking up the path, he soon saw the top of the hospital building. Everyone quickened their pace, and after a while, the whole picture of the hospital was revealed.
The end of the trail leads to the back door of the hospital, and only the back side of the building can be seen. The once white walls of the hospital building were peeling off and mottled. Dark green vines climbed along it, and huge spider webs formed among the green plants. The windows were closed and covered with dark film, blocking the view from inside.
And everyone was blocked from the door by a huge iron fence. The fence is also full of spider webs and green plants. It seems that few people have been here. Perhaps, they are the first guests in decades since the hospital was abandoned.
"Let's walk along the fence, there may be an entrance." Du Yixin suggested.
Of course, the others had no objection, and were waiting to move forward, but they heard someone stop them: "Everyone, we still have one thing to do."
Looking back, it was naturally a curly-haired man.
He stood in the darkness with a sly smile on his face. Beside it is a rusty fence that almost blends into this spooky hospital. He handed out a pen to everyone.
"Go ahead, the test just now."
