Chapter 46: The fifth person (3)

Views:

It was Professor Wang who first discovered Gu Liang in the morning.

After Professor Wang crawled out of the sleeping bag, he couldn't help cursing: "It's so fucking cold. I want to go to the toilet, what's wrong?"

Li Xuexue said: "Find a snowy place to dig a hole, and bury it with snow after pulling it. Please stay away from our tent when you do this, so that everyone will not be stinky to death."

"Speaking so badly at a young age."

Professor Wang rolled his eyes and took out his own card. "Hey? I received a new plot, ah... it's just for me to go to the toilet. Oh, not bad. Walk five hundred meters to the foot of the mountain, and there is a temporary toilet. The system is still humanized. I went."

Dr. Xu also woke up now, and crawled out of the sleeping bag. "I saw two small liquefied gas tanks and dehydrated vegetables. I went to cook some soup and boil some hot water. It's not a problem to eat energy bars all the time."

After seeing Dr. Xu, Li Kexue's face finally became less stinky: "I'll help you."

"Eh? That Liu Qiang went to the vigil last night and hasn't come back yet?" Professor Wang walked out of the tent first, and saw Gu Liang lying in the snow with his face turning red from the cold, "I'll go! He won't It must be the deceased in this case!"

As soon as Professor Wang said this, Dr. Xu ran out, and Li Xuexue was the last to come out.

Fortunately, several people checked Gu Liang's breath and found that he was still alive, but just passed out.

The system probably didn't want the player to freeze to death, the winter clothes were warm enough, and Gu Liang wasn't frostbitten.

Although Li Xuexue had a stinky face towards everyone, especially Gu Liang who seemed very dissatisfied, he and Professor Wang carried him into the tent and put him in a sleeping bag.

After that, Professor Wang went to his timeline—going to the bathroom.

Li Xuexue accompanied Dr. Xu to cook vegetable soup and boil hot water outside.

Dr. Xu heard movement in the tent and knew that Gu Liang had woken up, so he poured a bowl of hot water, brought it into the tent and handed it to him.

At this moment, Professor Wang was startled by the ghost and came back cursing.

At this moment, four players are sitting around drinking vegetable soup.

During the process, Gu Liangduo paid attention to the liquefied gas tank, there were a few lines of instructions written on it.

"Micro-sized liquefied gas tanks are provided by Huilong Snow Mountain Base Camp; they can be carried by tourists who hike and climb. It is recommended to carry 1-2 tanks each time. If not enough, you can return to the base camp to get new ones."

On the side, Professor Wang drank a bowl of soup, regained his strength, and couldn't help asking Dr. Xu: "You and Li Kexue have been guarding here just now? Those three corpses, especially the little grass, Didn’t change? Didn’t cheat the corpse?”

Dr. Xu said, "No, those three corpses have always been there without any change."

"So, I just bumped into a ghost."

Professor Wang's tone was particularly dignified. He thought of something, and looked at Gu Liang again, "Liu Kanhan, what happened to you last night?"

Facing Professor Wang's question, Gu Liang thought for a while and decided not to tell the truth for the time being. He just shook his head and said, "My physical fitness is not very good. I guess the altitude here is high, and I was dizzy due to lack of oxygen. It's okay .”

Dr. Xu asked Professor Wang again: "You said just now, what did that ghost ask you...do you believe him?"

Professor Wang: "That's right. Why do you believe them and not me, etc. It probably has something to do with the ghost story told at the beginning of the script. You also received that story, right?"

Gu Liang and the others nodded in turn. Professor Wang frowned and said, "So, there are ghosts in the setting of this script... so far we only see Xiaocao's ghost. But there are three corpses. You say... we still have ghosts. Will I meet the other two ghosts? It's Xiaohua and Xiaodong who is holding her."

Professor Wang is also obviously afraid of ghosts, and his face is a little pale.

Dr. Xu said comfortingly: "It's okay, Professor Wang, don't be afraid. Even if there are ghosts, they are still set in the script. When the script is over, the ghosts will no longer exist. We will still find the murderer after all."

"I'm so old, don't be scared!" Professor Wang sighed.

Dr. Xu smiled: "It should be said that at your age, you have seen everything, and you are still afraid of ghosts?"

Professor Wang rolled his eyes. "I've seen a lot of sinister villains. Damn, I've never seen them before. Hey, forget it. Don't talk about it. Make you young people laugh..."

Gu Liang drank the vegetable soup silently, thinking about what Professor Wang said just now.

Gu Liang grasped two key points.

First, he met Xiaocao's soul; second, the soul asked, "Why don't you believe me?"

In this way, except for the difference in time and place, Professor Wang's experience is almost exactly the same as his own.

Gu Liang really wanted to know, no matter who this ghost met, he would say the same thing and treat him indiscriminately, or in other words, there was a difference between his questions and his responses.

So Gu Liang lied just now, and didn't tell the complete timeline of his last night.

He decided to wait and see, depending on the situation.

After Dr. Xu finished a bowl of vegetable soup, he entered the tent again.

When she came out again, she already had an extra box of medicine in her hand.

She handed the box of medicine to Gu Liang. "My role is a doctor. I have a medicine box. This is Rhodiola rosea, which is used to treat altitude sickness. You should eat a little, and you should be better. After all, it's too cold here, and if you faint in the snow, it's not a joke. thing."

"Thank you." Gu Liang took the medicine box.

"No thanks. Being involved in this game, and in such a harsh environment, everyone should help each other."

As soon as Dr. Xu finished speaking, Li Kexue picked up the shaking card and interrupted her immediately. "Xiaowan, I just received and saw a timeline related to the two of you, can you come and see if you received it?"

Xiao Wan.

Gu Liang guessed that this was Dr. Xu's nickname.

After all, she said before that the three of them had met each other in previous scripts and knew each other.

"Yeah. My card is also shaken. Let me see... Ah, yes, it's our timeline. Then wait for me, let's go together." Dr. Xu gave Gu Liang an apologetic smile, got up and left.

After 20 minutes, Dr. Xu and Li Xuexue left.

After Gu Liang drank the vegetable soup, ate an energy bar, and then went to clean up the pots and pans, it was considered as having exercised.

After finishing all this, he returned to the tent and sat down beside the sleeping bag, without saying a word or knowing what he was thinking.

On the side, Professor Wang was a little bored and tried to talk to him. "Well, I don't know if you can see it. This Li Kexue is interested in Dr. Xu. As for Dr. Xu, I guess he is not interested in him, so I haven't responded to him."

"There are too many bluffing little girls now. A little girl like Dr. Xu is very rare. She is gentle and generous. She looks good and has a good personality, but also because of this, once she talks to other men, Li Kexue was worried that she would be robbed, so he didn't treat other men very well. He is hostile to you because of this, and you, don't take it to heart."

"But having said that, Li Kexue is a bit naive like this. I feel that you should be more mature and match up with Dr. Xu. You said, it is fate to know each other in this game. If everyone survives, maybe they will be able to tie the knot What about a good relationship. You have to listen to the old man's words, hey... Wait, are you married yet?"

The baskets of words that Professor Wang uttered were like stones sunk in the sea, without any waves turning over.

Professor Wang was a little unhappy. "Anyway, you should take a call."

Gu Liang came back to his senses and looked at him a little confused. "what?"

"Are you married?" Professor Wang asked.

"It's not over."

"What do you think of Dr. Xu?"

"It's nothing." Gu Liang answered truthfully.

Professor Wang: "...you can't find a girlfriend with a personality like yours."

—Hey, it's really hard to chat with him.

But Professor Wang still wanted to chat.

After all, he is so boring.

The weather is so cold, talking to someone can help dispel the chill a little bit.

Here, Professor Wang is still desperately trying to talk about the topic, while Gu Liang has already got into his sleeping bag and closed his eyes.

Professor Wang was a little surprised. "Are you going to sleep again? Didn't you just wake up?"

Gu Liang yawned. "Well, it's freezing cold, it's okay anyway."

Professor Wang:"… "

Gu Liang closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Professor Wang looked up to the sky and sighed. "You're really not afraid of being bored... more boring than an old man like me."

Professor Wang sat for an hour, and finally, Li Xuexue and Dr. Xu came back.

However, Li Xuexue was supported by Dr. Xu.

When they walked into the tent, Professor Wang took a look—tsk, wow, Li Kexue was injured. His forehead was broken on the left side, and his head was covered with blood.

Professor Wang hurriedly asked, "Are you all right?"

Li Kexue shook his head: "It's okay, trauma."

"That still needs to be dealt with quickly." Dr. Xu took the words, helped Li Xuexue to sit down, went to the medicine box to find iodophor, gauze and adhesive tape, came to help Li Xuexue sterilize the wound, and then bandaged him, and asked, " Is there something wrong with your leg? Do you want to take a look?"

"It's okay, it's not a big problem, it's just a fall, and the clothes are thick, so it doesn't matter." Li Kexue said.

At this moment, Gu Liang also sat up and asked, "What happened to you?"

"We also encountered a ghost. It is the soul of Xiaocao."

Dr. Xu turned his head to look at Gu Liang, "According to the timeline of the script, the character Li Xuexue came to me to talk about something. Then a ghost came and attacked Li Xuexue."

Gu Liang frowned slightly, and then asked: "Xiaocao attacked you?"

"To be precise...not 'us', he only attacked Li Kexue." Dr. Xu thought for a while, and then affirmed, "That's right, his target is Li Kexue."

Gu Liang asked: "Did he say anything after seeing you?"

Doctor Xu stood still, and the thrilling scene just now slowly came to her mind.

At that time, Li Kexue took her to a place about 300 meters away from the camp and took her to perform the script.

Li Xuexue: "There is one thing you have to help me."

Dr. Xu asked: "What's the matter? Why are you behind their backs? You won't... You want to monopolize the results of this investigation?"

Li Xuexue: "No, it has nothing to do with the investigation. It's... related to those corpses. You know, I have a major in occult studies. I am very interested in the ghost stories circulating here. I think these people died very strangely .But if we hand them over directly to the police, maybe nothing will come out."

"So I was wondering if you could do a preliminary autopsy for me? You can do an autopsy and find out how they died or something..."

Dr. Xu: "That's not acceptable. Forensic medicine is not my specialty. And... this is against the rules. It should be handed over to the police."

Li Xuexue: "Xiao Xu, help me. You promised to marry me, but you still refuse to help me with this matter?"

Dr. Xu: "I really can't. I'm not a forensic doctor after all. But... my best friend works as a forensic doctor in the city bureau. Big deal... When the time comes for their autopsy, I will ask her to tell me the result secretly. They are professionals, and they always It's better than me fooling around."

As soon as Dr. Xu finished speaking, he saw a translucent ghost floating over not far away. He looked exactly like Xiaocao, and he should be Xiaocao's soul.

Dr. Xu's pupils widened in horror, but since Li Kexue's back was facing the ghost, he didn't see the ghost for the first time, but asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Behind you... behind you..." Dr. Xu raised his finger and pointed to Li Kexue's back.

Before Li Kexue had time to turn his head, suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and then a deep ghostly voice came from his ear. "Why don't you believe me? Would you rather believe them than me?"

Li Kexue was startled, pushed away the hand on his shoulder, turned around and looked behind him.

At this time, the ghost who was quite gentle a moment ago suddenly became furious, raised his hands, and immediately floated to Li Xuexue, grabbed his neck tightly, and pushed him to the ground.

Dr. Xu was so frightened that he almost fell down, and she didn't care whether it was useful or not, so she grabbed the snow on the ground and threw it at the ghost.

Towards noon, the sun is getting brighter and brighter.

The snow hit the ghost hard, and the ghost raised his head and glared at Dr. Xu. A snowflake flew up, refracting more intense sunlight, which seemed to hit the ghost's pupils. He couldn't stand the sunlight, so he let go of Li Xuexue and floated gone.

At that moment, Dr. Xu described what happened just now in as much detail as possible, and said: "The ghost may not have much strength. Li Xuexue's neck was not strangled very much. I checked and there are no strangulation marks. He was mainly pushed down. When it hit the ground, it hit the forehead. If the leg is okay—”

"My leg is fine." Li Kexue took the call and asked Professor Wang, "Did he attack you when you met him this morning?"

Professor Wang shook his head. "No. But maybe it's because I ran too fast. Anyway, he asked me the same thing, just believe him or something. I ran away after hearing it. Maybe he didn't have time to attack."

What did Dr. Xu think of, and asked Gu Liang: "This ghost must have been scared away by the noon sun today. Since he is afraid of light, he should walk more frequently at night. Liu Jian, if you kept watch last night, you really didn't meet him. what?"

After a while, Gu Liang still shook his head.

Professor Wang scratched his hairless head, and said, "That's weird. This ghost doesn't wander around at night, but in broad daylight. But maybe it's because I run fast. Otherwise, I was also attacked."

Everyone met Xiaocao's soul, but only Li Xuexue was attacked.

This is indeed very strange.

But in front of Li Xuexue, Gu Liang didn't say anything to Professor Wang for a while.

Gu Liang only thought for a moment, then asked Dr. Xu: "Is that all you just said?"

"Yes. That's all. I think I have explained it in detail." Dr. Xu said.

Gu Liang asked again: "So, when Xiaocao's soul appeared, it just asked Li Xuexue a question at first, and then attacked him. From the beginning to the end, he didn't do anything to you, and he didn't say anything to you? "

Dr. Xu recalled what happened from the beginning to the end again, for fear that he might miss something.

After a moment, she replied firmly, "No. I'm sure not. He didn't even look at me."

"Okay. Understood." Gu Liang said.

Dr. Xu was surprised and said, "You already understand what's going on?"

Gu Liang shook his head. "No. I mean, I understand your story."

Li Xuexue sneered. "I just said...how could he know..."

Gu Liang didn't pay much attention to it, and sat beside the sleeping bag, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

At noon, Dr. Xu and Li Xuexue cooked vegetable soup together, and the four of them ate vegetable soup plus energy bars.

After eating, Gu Liang took the initiative to clean the pots and pans and the tableware.

When Gu Liang entered the room, Professor Wang, Li Xuexue and Dr. Xu were sitting around and chatting about something.

Seeing Gu Liang coming, Dr. Xu took the initiative to ask: "There is poker here, do you want to come to Four Players Fighting the Landlord?"

"You three come here. I'll rest for a while." Gu Liang refused without hesitation, and instead got into his sleeping bag and lay down.

Professor Wang shook his head. "You sleep so much during the day, can you sleep at night?"

Gu Liang: "I can."

Professor Wang:"… "

The three of them played poker for an hour and chatted about the case for a while, but they couldn't talk about anything, so they started talking nonsense.

Gu Liang woke up amidst all kinds of noises, but he still had a good rest.

Until 5 o'clock in the evening, the cards of the four people vibrated almost at the same time, and it seemed that they all received new plots.

Gu Liang opened his eyes, slowly crawled out of the sleeping bag, took out the card to check, it read: "5:10, you are urgent to urinate, go to the temporary toilet to use the toilet."

Gu Liang: "..."

— This timeline is really too simple.

The four people put down the cards almost at the same time.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, Gu Liang was the first to act.

He had just walked to the entrance of the tent when he found that Professor Wang was following him.

Gu Liang didn't say a word, opened the door curtain and walked forward a few steps, turned around abruptly, and found that Professor Wang was still following him.

Pausing for a moment, Gu Liang asked him, "Are you going to the bathroom too?"

Professor Wang smiled: "That's right. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Gu Liang glanced back at Dr. Xu and Li Xuexue who were still in the tent, and said nothing for the time being, just nodded: "Let's go."

At this moment, the sun was about to set, the temperature visibly dissipated, and the weather was getting colder. Gu Liang wrapped his jacket tightly and went straight to the temporary toilet.

The temporary toilet was built by people from the base camp of the snow mountain, and it is located at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, the direction from the camp to the toilet is exactly the opposite of the direction to the cave where the three bodies are hidden.

After descending 500 meters, Gu Liang and Professor Wang arrived at the toilet.

Gu Liang did go to the toilet.

After finishing the work, Professor Wang saw him take off the kettle on his back.

Professor Wang thought he wanted to drink water, but he took off his thick gloves and washed his hands with the water in the kettle.

Professor Wang couldn't help but said, "You are really particular."

"No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, you must also pay attention to personal hygiene." After Gu Liang said this, he covered the kettle and carried it on his back again. As soon as he took a step out of the toilet, he felt another gust of cold wind blowing towards his face.

Afterwards, his whole body was shrouded in drowsiness, and he fell to the ground and fell asleep without knowing it.

When Gu Liang woke up again, he was awakened by a loud noise, followed by a strong smell of burning.

Gu Liang lay on the ground in the snow, barely sat up, looked in the direction of the fire, and found that the camp was on fire, which should have been caused by the explosion just now.

Professor Wang fell beside Gu Liang and was awakened by the sound of the explosion.

He got up, turned around in horror, and wanted to run towards the foot of the mountain.

Gu Liang stopped him: "What are you running for?"

Professor Wang stopped, looked at Gu Liang and said, "Do you have common sense! We have to get out of here as soon as possible, and run down the mountain first! The explosion was loud, and I don't know if it will cause an avalanche! What are you still doing?"

"Don't be afraid." Gu Liang said slowly.

Professor Wang rolled his eyes. "Anyway, you look like you are going to die when the sky falls. I don't think you even have the desire to survive. Of course you are not afraid of an avalanche. But I am! I have to go!"

Gu Liangdao: "I suggest you not to go any further. Look carefully, the toilet is a hundred meters ahead, and there is fog."

"Fog... Fog..." Professor Wang reacted, "You mean... the fog at the border of the script..."

Gu Liang said: "That's right. There won't be an avalanche. If you continue to run forward, you will die instead..."

Professor Wang: "You can't run forward, I understand. But why won't there be an avalanche? How can you be sure?"

Gu Liang spoke calmly, and glanced towards the top of the mountain, "The food prepared by the system is almost enough for a day. Although the script map is outdoors, it is actually not big. On the whole, the script is coming to an end soon. The system is not trying to kill We, therefore, will not have an avalanche. You go to the bottom of the mountain and die instead."

"Is this... this? I see..."

Professor Wang scratched his head, walked to Gu Liang and sat down next to him, "Although you don't talk much, you are quite reliable!"

Gu Liang ignored his compliment, but continued to look in the direction of the camp.

Seeing the flames go straight to the sky, the color is brighter than the sunset in the sky.

The light from the sky and the fire on the ground seem to have dyed the snowfield red.

Immediately afterwards, in the flames, a person rolled towards the foot of the mountain. Gu Liang realized something and hurried forward to support her.

It's Dr. Xu.

"Fuck, she won't be cheated to death, right?" Professor Wang couldn't help asking.

After Gu Liang stabilized Dr. Xu's figure, he felt for her Dr. Xu's pulse, "It's okay, I'm still alive, just fainted."

Not long after Gu Liang finished speaking, Doctor Xu also opened his eyes.

Her forehead was pierced, and she felt pain. She subconsciously covered her head and wanted to sit up.

Professor Wang quickly persuaded: "Don't worry, sit down slowly, your head hurts, you may feel dizzy."

The sunset completely disappeared. The time came to 7 o'clock in the evening.

The system broadcast sounded: "This is the end of the interpretation of the script, and the part of solving the case begins."

The three players looked at each other, and their first reaction was - where did Li Xuexue go
