Looking at the bones exposed in the soil and the black tape mixed in it, Cheng Zhichu remembered the Boss in the previous dungeon, and could not help but suspect that the current dungeon was a continuation of the previous one.
Indeed, at that time he still had a lot of things to figure out, such as the identity of the Boss covered in tape, who killed him, why Zhou Luochen committed suicide later, and so on.
But with the end of the dungeon, Cheng Zhichu did not continue to pursue these mysteries, because for him, the most important thing was to clear the dungeon alive. As for solving puzzles, it was not what he was good at, and there was no need to pay attention.
And he felt that it was just a false setting in the copy, and had nothing to do with reality, because if those were things that had happened in reality, after the evil things done by Zhou Luochen were discovered, they should have been exposed long ago. Bai Yi and Bai Xixing The seniors must have known him for a long time, but the way they showed at first was clearly only the first acquaintance with him.
He himself had no impression of City C, and was sure that he had never been here, so he concluded that the content in the last copy was just a fictional story based on the identities of these people.
But this dungeon once again involved those old things. He dug up the Boss's bones in the courtyard, found more mysteries, and was related to the bridegroom to some extent, but he didn't seem to break these mysteries. The head of the groom could not be found.
Is this just a coincidence
Holding the pale and dry skull, Cheng Zhichu couldn't help falling into contemplation, his brows furrowed, and he began to wonder if something really happened in reality, which caused the two dungeons to revolve around this villa.
[That's right, the reality copy is not fictional, but is generated based on a large number of real events. 】
The system said: [Many of the things you have seen and experienced have actually happened. As for how many of them are real... 】
Cheng Zhichu was startled, the hand holding the skull trembled, and the skull rolled down to the edge of the skirt of the white wedding dress, revealing a somewhat terrifying beauty.
How many of them actually happened? So what is true and what is false, and how can he tell the difference? Is there any special reason why the reality copy is turned on
How much truth does the system know, why is it telling him little by little now, and how much is it hiding from him
There was a mess in his head, countless questions lingering in his heart, the system coughed and explained somewhat unnaturally.
[I didn't mean to hide anything from you on purpose, I didn't tell you before, because I wasn't sure what it would turn into before it happened. 】
[I never lied to you, I just didn't tell the whole truth. 】
[Now I can tell you that it's not a coincidence that you got into the game, even if it wasn't that day, sooner or later, you'd always have to come in and go through these things. 】
[Well, but meeting me is the greatest luck in your life, that's right... ]
"Then why did I enter the game?"
Cheng Zhichu ignored the last sentence of the system, without any joy in his heart, instead he took a deep breath, his heart beat like a drum, and anxiously asked the system.
He has a very clear understanding of himself, and understands that his aptitude is limited. He is an ordinary person, and he does not have an extremely persevering character. How could he be favored by fate.
Saying that he was chosen as a sacrifice to be sacrificed, he believed it... But if he really wanted to harm him, would the system still need to reveal this to him, wouldn't it be better to hide it
[You don’t have to think about it, if you die, I will not have a better life, so I will definitely not hurt you. 】
The system "tsk".
[As for the reason you entered the game... It is related to the Boss illustrated book in your hand, but I can't tell you the more detailed reasons. In fact, I shouldn't have disclosed these circumstances to you, but since you are already suspicious Now, I'll just have to explain a little bit to you. 】
[If you want to know more, you have to explore by yourself. All in all, you should complete this dungeon now, and let’s talk about the rest after finishing the dungeon. 】
"… "
Cheng Zhichu was speechless for a while, but thinking of the Boss illustrated book in his backpack made his mood even more complicated.
He didn't want to understand what this illustrated book had to do with him, and "Hanzhi Luobai" also said before that this illustrated book can be used to open special dungeons... Could it be that only he can use the illustrated book to collect these bosses
Then the question comes again, if only he can use the illustrated book, why is he this special candidate
... It can't be that he has some super gay physique that makes these bosses fall in love with him madly, right? But in retrospect, these bosses seem to be without exception, and they are indeed very interested in him...
The more Cheng Zhichu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the fear gradually changed. Instead, he became a little more angry for no reason. If he really had such a physique, he would have hoped that Bai Yi would like him rather than attracting some strange guy.
Thinking of Bai Yi, he shook his head, put aside these distracting thoughts, put the skull that fell to the ground aside, and carefully cleaned the soil around the bones with a hoe.
The system said that the reality copy was generated based on real events, but he couldn't fully distinguish the difference between fiction and reality. He could only confirm that Bai Yi disappeared six years ago, and that people died in this villa, and there may be more than one death. One or two.
I don't know if Senior Bai knows anything... Also, Senior has not given up looking for Bai Yi, and even found that old Li, I don't know if he can get any clues.
Concerned about the conversation between the two in the house, Cheng Zhichu speeded up the excavation and cleaned out some human bones in the soil.
He doesn't understand the structure of the human body, so he can't judge whether these skeletons came from multiple people, but from a rough perspective, it seems that there is only one skeleton buried here, which should be the Ghost Boss from the previous instance.
Who is this person...
Cheng Zhichu clapped the soil on his hands, picked up the skull, stood up and asked the groom, "Do you know who this person is?" He hoped that the groom might have some impression.
"… "
The groom took the skull and slowly turned it in his hands, but he didn't know what to think, and he crushed the skull all at once, and the fine bone fragments fell from his fingers.
Cheng Zhichu was stunned. He didn't expect the groom to destroy the skeleton. He asked carefully, "You don't like him? Does he have any hatred with you?"
"I remember his name." The groom shook off the bone residue on his hands, as if he was dirty, and his voice was cold and dark, "He is Zhou Luochen."
"week-"
Cheng Zhichu was stunned for a while.
How could it be Zhou Luochen, didn't he commit suicide
If this is Zhou Luochen's skeleton, it means that the Boss he sees is Zhou Luochen. This ghost is covered with tape, and it is almost impossible for him to wrap it himself. What's more, his corpse was buried silently after his death. No matter how you look at it, it looks like someone was killed in a terrible way. Who is the murderer...
And is that Boss really Zhou Luochen? He behaved so timidly and pitifully that he really couldn't be associated with a pervert like Zhou Luochen - or is the real Zhou Luochen just a pitiful person
"Damn him."
The bridegroom's breath was cold and violent, trampling on the exhumed corpse.
"I still remember when you were little, he almost killed you."
"He also killed a lot of children, burying their bodies under the roses outside or throwing them into the nearby mountains."
Could it be that this really happened... Zhou Luochen really killed a lot of children? Even he himself—
Cheng Zhichu's pupils shrank suddenly, and a sense of terror rose in his heart, causing cold sweat to ooze out of his face instantly, and his body also swayed.
"Knowing the beginning."
Seeing that his condition was not quite right, the groom stretched out his arms, took him into his arms, patted his back, and reassured him: "Sorry, it seems that I shouldn't tell you this, don't think about it anymore. ."
"Huh, huh..."
Cheng Zhichu was panting, lying in his arms, his face pale, his brain was flooded with countless chaotic and terrifying thoughts, which made his consciousness extremely confused.
He seems to have forgotten something, and it is very important, the common answer to many questions, and if he remembers, he can learn many truths...
what exactly is it
What is that...
Cheng Zhichu suddenly fell into a coma and collapsed into the groom's arms.
In his perception, he felt that he was asleep and had a dream.
The dream was chaotic and dark, composed of countless fragments, filled with all kinds of terrifying sights, even nightmares he could not have imagined when he was awake.
He only passed out for a few seconds, then suddenly woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, stood up with a cold sweat on the groom's chest, gasping for breath, as if he was about to die from breathing difficulties just now.
"Sorry, Zhichu, I'm sorry..."
The bridegroom seemed to be frightened by his tragic state, remorseful and flustered, at a loss to comfort Cheng Zhichu, who was so frightened.
After a long time, Cheng Zhichu gradually regained his senses, got rid of the state of being about to die, and managed to calm down.
"Did I say something I shouldn't say?"
The groom supported him, still annoyed: "My memory is incomplete, maybe I said something wrong, don't you..."
"… fine."
Cheng Zhichu waved his hand, broke away from the embrace of the groom, and his face gradually returned to blood. Holding his forehead and shaking his head, the tip of his heart was still shaking, but he did not fall into the strange state just now, and was able to think normally.
In the chaotic consciousness just now, he seemed to recall some vague pictures. These pictures were related to this villa, but they were not from the copy, but really belonged to his memory.
He saw Zhou Luochen's face and the fiery red rose in his vague memory, and all he could feel was fear and nausea.
Cheng Zhichu was sure that he had forgotten something, and understood why he hated the smell of roses, and his sister said that their family had visited C City, but her mother denied it in a panic. The reason must be that she had experienced it here. What, he quickly forgot after being stimulated too much, and his mother didn't want to remind him again.
Although he only recalled a little memory, it was enough to prove that Zhou Luochen in reality was undoubtedly a perverted murderer...
Cheng Zhichu's eyes fell on the messy bones on the ground, revealing awe and disgust.
If this skeleton is really Zhou Luochen, then his death is not a pity. The remaining question is, who buried him in the courtyard, and did he die of homicide
He was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly he was shocked, and he had a terrifying conjecture.
... The key to this villa has always been in the hands of Senior Bai, he always comes here to check, is it just to protect the secret of the bones
Thinking about it this way, he poked the soil a little and buried the skeleton back again, lest someone pass by and see the abnormality, and then quietly pushed the door into the villa. As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of the teacup being shattered.
Bai Xixing and the old man surnamed Li were in the living room. Bai Xixing stood in front of the old man, looking down at him, with no smile on his handsome face.
Cheng Zhichu didn't know why Bai Xixing would show such an expression, he was just surprised, he didn't expect this funny and kind senior to have such a cold side.
Inexplicably, there was a strange thought in his heart. It was obvious that the two brothers always kept smiling expressions, but it was when Bai Xixing showed such an expression that he truly felt that the two were indeed very close. picture.
I don't know what Bai Xixing said. Old Li, who was sitting on the sofa, changed greatly, his hands were shaking, and he even broke the teacup, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a word.
"So I guessed right?"
Darkness surged in Bai Xixing's eyes, and he suddenly curled his lips into a smile. He sat beside Mr. Li and held the phone in front of Mr. Li. The icon on it was still the white skull on a black background.
"You just found the people in this place. Please ask them to help your family transport. Your family has survived the difficulties, even better than before... And as a reward, you helped them take away my cousin, right?"
Who are the "people in this place"? Why is that logo almost exactly the same as the "Infinite Escape Forum" logo? Could it be that the person who attacked Bai Yi six years ago was also an infinite escape player
There are too many mysteries now. Cheng Zhichu was still thinking about the bones just now, but he was immediately attracted by the clues about Bai Yi's disappearance, but he had a vague feeling that these clues were actually pointing to the same center—
The Bai family, or even Bai Yi, is very likely.
[I can tell you one more thing. 】
[I once told you that the game forum of "Infinite Escape" was not founded by us, but by the original players themselves. 】
[And now the icon you see is the original logo of the forum. 】
【ID of that player—】
"Mr. Mu."
Bai Xixing said softly, "The person you are looking for is called 'Mr. Mu', right?"
[… is "Mr. Mu". 】
"...Mr. Mu?"
Hearing the name, the silent silver coin suddenly reacted, whispering the name softly.
"You know him too?" Cheng Zhichu had never heard the name, and his eyes widened slightly when he heard this.
"Oh... yes, I've seen him and I know him."
Silver Coin said: "He is not like you, he is a very competent master."
"Yes, "Mr. Mu" is my last generation master."

Bai Yi's Diary Part 71
A rare good dream, I dreamed that I and Zhichu had already established a romantic relationship, and some more intimate contacts were about to happen—
I woke up suddenly.
It's ten times more manic than a nightmare.
