Jiang Xiaoli and Li Hongying went to the lakeside of the park to blow some air together, and returned home despondently after Jiang Xiaoli froze into a dog.
As for Wei Qianrong's Five Emperor's Coin... Jiang Xiaoli didn't see a name for it either, and she was very angry like other things. Li Hongying played with the Five Emperor's Coin in her hand, and she didn't suffer any harm. Maybe it's the real thing, but the effect may be... Anyway, it's not very good for Hongyi.
After half a month, Wei Qianrong was more concerned about the haunted incidents on the subway line, and went to the subway every few days. And pay attention to all kinds of news every day, but the ghost seems to have no other actions, and no new victims have appeared.
After the rest period was over, Jiang Xiaoli, Li Hongying, and Wei Qianrong were in the living room waiting for dawn to arrive. Jiang Xiaoli had the mahogany sword hanging on her waist. She specially bought a wooden scabbard to cover her mahogany sword, and added a red tassel. It makes this mahogany sword look like the wooden sword in the hands of the uncle and aunt who exercised in the morning. Then there is a small backpack, in which are the remaining two talismans, a lighter and six incense sticks. As for the bracelet, she wears it on her wrist every day.
Wei Qianrong was carrying a big hiking bag, as if she was going on a trip. There are some bottles and jars packed inside, as well as a worn-out gossip mirror, five emperors' money, and messy antiques bought together before, and even a set of Taoist robes of heavenly masters! It is worth mentioning that Wei Qianrong never bought any talismans, and the only thing Jiang Xiaoli bought were talismans.
"Amulet? That kind of thing is fake at first glance. Even if it is a real celestial master, drawing amulets is very troublesome and the success rate is very low." Wei Qianrong glanced at Jiang Xiaoli, "How can it be linked to Taobao?"
Jiang Xiaoli: ...
Arrive early in the morning.
Jiang Xiaoli saw the balcony door gradually changing, turning red.
[Welcome back to the escape game~]
[Drawing copy... ]
[Di! Welcome to the mysterious village to explore! ]
[Safety period: 180 minutes]
Secret village exploration? Jiang Xiaoli shook her head, and saw that the clothes on her body had turned into rough clothes. Although the bag behind him has not changed, it looks out of place.
"Three hours of safety period." Jiang Xiaoli sighed, and couldn't help complaining: "Three hours is three hours, and you still have to say 180 minutes. Isn't it so tall?"
"Maybe." Li Hongying shrugged. There was no one around them. Maybe this release was random, and the players didn't gather together. Quest? It doesn't mention specific customs clearance requirements. Maybe wait three hours before posting
Li Hongying's clothes on this ghost were all fake, so she changed it up a bit and changed into the same clothes as Jiang Xiaoli's. Walk forward together with Jiang Xiaoli. You can see the cooking smoke ahead, so it's probably where the village is.
Guicun ah.
"By the way, where's Wei Qianrong?" After walking for a while, Jiang Xiaoli finally remembered that he had a teammate. She came in with Mrs. Wei! —Sorry, she actually forgot, she actually forgot!
Li Hongying was stunned for a moment, "Maybe... we can meet later, right?" They wouldn't come in together and go to two games, right? Isn't that team a joke
There is a big bare tree at the entrance of the village, only the branches are left, which looks withered and pitiful. Jiang Xiaoli looked at it for a while, but didn't recognize what kind of tree it was.
"Blindly guessing the pagoda tree is right." Jiang Xiaoli nodded as she spoke. Isn't this kind of ghost story just to make life difficult for the pagoda tree? It must be the pagoda tree!
"It's very barren here." Li Hongying looked at the environment of the village, which was barren, dilapidated, and poor.
The two continued to walk forward, when suddenly a woman opened the door with a basin of dirty water and poured it out. She suddenly saw them and seemed to be stunned. Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up, she was still under protection anyway! But just as they were about to step forward to inquire, the woman quickly closed the door after pouring water, as if the two of them were man-eating ghosts.
Uh, seems right in a way
"What's the matter, I'm not a bandit." Jiang Xiaoli was a little speechless, and was about to continue to look forward, but someone called her from behind.
It's Wei Qianrong.
He was also dressed in coarse cloth, but he was carrying a big hiking bag. Wei Qianrong didn't take out the compass at this time, the protection period has not passed, and the ghosts will not show their yin, they will hide like a living person.
"It seems to be placed randomly. This scene is very big." Wei Qianrong walked and looked at the houses of the nearby villagers. They were all mud houses with black tile roofs, which looked like old houses. The roads are also dirt roads. Some people have pots and some tools outside their houses. Wei Qianrong also saw things plowing the ground. There are probably cattle raised in this village. There may be vegetable fields next to it. "There is a river outside the village. I don't feel anything wrong now, but the color is very strange. It's black." Wei Qianrong began to share news as soon as she arrived, appearing very professional and reliable.
"The black one?... We probably didn't come from there, so we didn't see it." Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Li Hongying, they really didn't touch the river. "industrial pollution?"
"Maybe, but it doesn't look like there will be any industry here." Wei Qianrong said, "Let's call it the Black Water River. I looked by the river and saw the smell of blood. There are also ashes from burnt candles. Skeletal remains. I am more inclined to believe that there is a custom of worshiping the river god here."
Something like a river god, an evil god, maybe some kind of water beast. In this way, it fits perfectly with escape games.
Jiang Xiaoli thought so, and pushed forward: "Then the next plot may be... the next sacrifice is coming soon, and we players are the tribute? But we just saw a villager open the door and pour water, and she saw us I was so frightened that I immediately closed the door, as if we were some evil spirits."
"Maybe it has something to do with local taboos. For example, the river god is very against foreigners, and whenever outsiders enter the village, the river god will get angry... or something like that."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at Wei Qianrong with a calm face—so reading those miscellaneous books is really useful
"Let's go to the village chief's house first." Li Hongying said, "If you want to know something, just ask the NPC directly." It's useless to guess the truth here.
The village chief's house is surprisingly easy to recognize, mainly because there is only one brick house with the best location in the whole village and the tallest one. The house was surrounded by a large yard, and there was a big black dog at the gate of the yard, lying on the door and sticking out its tongue, seeing Jiang Xiaoli and the others standing up and screaming, about to bark - of course, Li Hongying glanced at the black dog, and The unspoken "Wow!" turned into a "Woo" sound, and the tail was also clamped.
Well, black cats and dogs are said to be extremely psychic. The dog sensed that Li Hongying was not to be messed with in an instant, and it instantly gave up.
There is a couplet on the gate of the courtyard. The first couplet reads: "Smooth sailing and auspicious stars arrive", the second couplet reads: "everything goes well and good fortune comes to the door", and the horizontal comment reads: "Prosperous wealth comes in". The red paper is already a bit worn out, and the edges and corners are a bit damaged. The time of this game is estimated to be a long time since the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Xiaoli stepped forward to knock the door, "This is... the dragon head door knocker? It's not a Chilong, this dragon looks a bit strange." She said, knocking the door knocker, and then stood aside waiting for the people inside to come out.
"They seem to have deliberately painted the dragon's head black." Wei Qianrong stepped forward to study the pattern and color of the door knocker, and said, "And they should have paid great attention to the painting."
"Do they believe in black dragons?" Li Hongying asked.
"What kind of dragon is a black dragon?" Jiang Xiaoli became confused.
Wei Qianrong: "Maybe it's the river god."
The three looked at each other speechlessly.
No one opened the door, Jiang Xiaoli knocked again, but still no one. Li Hongying frowned, walked over and started banging on the door. The door was made of wood, and it was knocked on the verge of collapse by Li Hongying. Finally there was movement inside, but Li Hongying didn't stop. When Shi punched the center, only a click sound was heard, and the wood inside the door snapped. The door was knocked open, and the middle-aged man and woman who came rushing over looked astonished. There are a few servants beside him, all holding weapons like wooden sticks in their hands.
Li Hongying looked over, and the person who was seen unconsciously hid the weapon in his hand behind his back, his legs were a little weak in fright.
"I'm sorry, I thought you couldn't hear the knock on the door, so I accidentally used some strength." Li Hongying put away her gloomy face, and forced a stiff smile expressionlessly, as she said.
— This deliberate expression is obviously scarier than the gloomy face just now.
"I'm sorry to bother you, we happened to pass by here, and we might spend a few days here." Jiang Xiaoli smiled, looking very harmless.
"...Of course, I, cough, there are many empty houses in our village, but the environment may not be very good, I hope you will forgive me." The middle-aged man's complexion changed for a while, and finally he said so. He walked out of the house, "Please come with me."
"Has other players already looked for him? Or is there someone like a celestial master here? Or that river god has a prophecy." Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but start conspiracy theories, why is there just an empty room? Why is it that I am not surprised at all when I hear them say they want to stay, not at all surprised. It was just a moment of silence before making the decision, as if it was a habit.
—Wait, it's a game. Maybe there was the last wave of players... Those bones by the river weren't all the bones of poor players who were captured? !
…
The house is really bad, just like the mud houses outside. Moreover, one of the tiles above is missing, and it will leak when it rains.
However, it is better than a thatched house.
They didn't have much luggage either, Jiang Xiaoli belatedly realized that the game didn't provide her with clothes and toiletries! Obviously, the previous games will provide it!
(Game: Cub, it's time for you to experience folk poverty.
"This village is really weird. No wonder it's called Strange Village. There are still secrets in the village... Hey, where are the rest of the players? There are a few empty houses next to this, are they all reserved for players?" Jiang Xiao Li counted the empty houses next to her, and there were still eight mud houses left. Does this mean that there are ten players in total this time
