The moment Mingyue walked in, it undoubtedly attracted the attention of almost everyone, especially female players.
Gu Liang is also looking at the bright moon.
It's just that Gu Liang found that when Mingyue met his gaze, his expression was the same, as if he didn't know himself at all.
In fact, Mingyue's performance has always been very professional, and it seems to be no different from other NPCs in this script.
He seems to be very integrated into the role, such as the noble and elegant Duke Dahl he played, and the crazy Xiaocao, the image is very different.
And this time, although he didn't wear a chef's hat, he was wearing a white chef's uniform, as if he looked like a professional cook.
Starting from the seat closest to the door, Mingyue handed out blank notes and pens to each tourist.
When it was sent to Gu Liang, Gu Liang gave him a questioning look.
But Mingyue didn't respond at all, it was no different from when he sent things to other players.
Gu Liang actually wanted to talk to him a little bit.
After all, Mingyue is an NPC here, and it seems that he has been here for a long time, and Gu Liang really feels that he is a little different from other NPCs, so he really wants to ask him about the system and the game.
Gu Liang knew that he remembered him. When he was on the snow mountain, he called himself "Brother Liang" just like when he was in school.
But now, seeing Mingyue's reaction, Gu Liang guessed that he was planning to abide by the rules, not revealing anything, and completely treated himself as a stranger.
He didn't want to say anything more, and didn't want to recognize himself as an old classmate, so Gu Liang didn't take the initiative to say hello.
After all, Gu Liang didn't know their rules, and he was afraid that if he talked about something other than the plot, his old classmate would be punished for violating the rules.
So Gu Liang stopped looking at him, just took a pen and wrote the words "Senior Hua" on his note.
After Mingyue handed out the note and pen, she went to the small table next to her and sat down.
Sergeant Liang was also sitting there. She took a few glances at Mingyue before looking at the main table.
Except for Zhao Meili who came with Senior Hua, and Jia's girlfriend who came with Tourist Jia, the other four tourists had old friends they wanted to see, so they wrote their names on the note.
After everyone finished writing, Jing served a large celadon bowl, folded the notes one by one, put them in, shook them again, and handed them to Boss Ling.
When he saw this, Gu Liang was thinking—the lottery should not be random, after all, the plot development in the script has already been determined.
But how does the system guarantee that Boss Ling will definitely get the note needed for the development of the plot
Or is there something tricky about this lottery
After a while, Boss Ling took out a note from the porcelain bowl, unfolded it and took a look.
When she read the note, everyone couldn't see the content through the note, they could only look at her hand.
Ten fingers Danko, she is indeed very attractive in every gesture.
Especially her nails, the bright red under the light of the white candle is too eye-catching.
Boss Ling read the note and spread it out on the table for everyone to see, with the words "Jia Tourist" written on it.
"Then, please go back to your room later. Tourist Jia, please give me the birth date of your deceased sister. I will use spiritism at 11 o'clock to summon her soul. Tourist Jia, please stay alone Wait in the house. Around 12 o'clock, you will be able to see your dead sister."
Boss Ling finished speaking to Tourist Jia, and then looked at the others: "As for other tourists, please don't go out after 11:00 pm. From 11:00 onwards, yin and yang are connected, and I will sprinkle some dogs on everyone's door in advance. Blood and other exorcisms can prevent ghosts from entering your house. But ghosts outside cannot be prevented, so you must not go out of the house, so as not to be contaminated with unclean things."
"correct-"
Boss Ling thought for a while, and finally said, "My personal spiritual power is really limited, and I can't guarantee that I can cast spells again in the short term. Other tourists...may not be able to see their relatives. I feel very sorry. But around the inn The scenery here is good, and if you can take a stroll around, it will be considered a worthwhile trip, rather than a waste of time.”
Boss Ling looked at Service Liang, "Service Liang said yesterday that she wanted to introduce the surrounding attractions to you. You can listen to her introduction."
Boss Ling stood up at this point, and took Tourist Jia out of the restaurant first, saying that there were still some precautions and he needed to communicate with him alone.
After Boss Ling and Tourist Jia left, Liang Service began to introduce nearby attractions to the six tourists who stayed here.
Introduced by Liang's service, there is a mountain called Xiaoxi Mountain in the west, which has a particularly beautiful scenery.
If you don't like sports, she will introduce Baishui Lake at the foot of the mountain in the north.
The inn has fishing gear, and tourists can go fishing by the lake.
Furthermore, there are remains of the ancient forest of steles in the southwest, where there are antique pavilions and the like, which can be used for leisure and play.
After the introduction of Liang's service, he thoughtfully distributed brochures to everyone, saying that if you don't go out to play, I'm really sorry to come here.
It is already a pity not to see the dead relatives, but it is even more pity to miss the good scenery.
After the brief introduction, Liang Service urged everyone to go back to the room.
"Hurry up and go back to your room, take a shower and go to bed early. It's not good if you run into something unclean until midnight."
At this point, Jia's girlfriend frowned and looked at the rest of the table: "My boyfriend wants to see his sister's ghost. Boss Ling just said that he can only be left alone in the house. Then where do I live? Is there any girl who can?" Allow me to stay overnight?"
There are two female tourists living alone, one is Zhao Meili played by Li Xiaoyu, and the other is the lonely Wang.
What Gu Liang didn't expect was that Wang Guyou said first: "Then you can stay with me. Anyway, I'm a little scared. In case something is really haunted, it's better to have someone by my side."
Gu Liang was a little surprised.
After all, Wang Guhui said that she has a withdrawn personality, and she has only had one friend since she was a child. This friend died, so she planned to come here to see her.
So, how could she take the initiative to invite a stranger to live in her room
Although the reason for being afraid of ghosts is valid, Gu Liang was still quite puzzled, so he couldn't help but take a few extra glances at Wang Guhui.
In this way, Wang Guhui and Jia's girlfriend got married and left together.
Only Chef Huang played by Mingyue, Serve Liang, Gu Liang, Yang Ye, and Li Xiaoyu were left in the restaurant.
Li Xiaoyu has also become more courageous recently, seizing the opportunity to tease Yang Ye and Gu Liang, and immediately said to Gu Liang: "Senior Hua, I am also afraid of ghosts, what if there are really ghosts at 12 o'clock in the evening? I will live in your house?" "
Yang Ye immediately reprimanded: "Go away. Liangliang is afraid of ghosts and go to my place. If you are really scared, you can go to my place too, don't go to Liangliang."
Yang Yexin said that she was pure after all, not cool, how could they let them live together in the same room.
"Eh? You have to pay attention to the character design." Li Xiaoyu imitated Gu Liang's tone.
Gu Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately stood up. "Okay, let's go back to the house early. I'm not going anywhere at night."
Gu Liangcai didn't want to go out in the middle of the night and run into ghosts. Not even in the script. He was still somewhat apprehensive.
Gu Liang, Yang Ye, and Li Xiaoyu left the restaurant together, and when they reached the door of the restaurant, Chef Huang and waiter Liang also came out.
The two inn employees lived behind the restaurant. When Gu Liang walked down the stone steps, he looked up at them.
Mingyue, who was walking in the corridor with Liang's service, also turned her head sideways.
Mingyue looked at Gu Liang and the three of them, and said, "Remind everyone, the old rules, breakfast time is still from 7:00 to 8:00, I do it according to my mood, and I will not wait when it is out of date."
On the way back to the inn from the restaurant, Li Xiaoyu couldn't hold back and said: "Hey, this NPC is so handsome. He was the Duke last time, right? It's not an exaggeration to say that I was in the room and I was wearing a wedding dress. I turned around and saw him—wow !"
Yang Ye ignored her nympho, and just asked Gu Liang: "Is he the classmate you mentioned last time?"
"Yes." Gu Liang nodded, "But I don't think he wants to talk to me. I guess he can't talk to me."
What Yang Ye thought was - it's just right if he can't make up his mind.
From Yang Ye's point of view, it is not yet the time for Gu Liang to know that he is dead.
Yang Ye's plan was to make indirect remarks first, slowly lay the groundwork, and then let him tell Gu Liang all this in person.
Because he has not fully understood Gu Liang's past until now.
He wasn't sure if Gu Liang could just bear all the truth like this.
As Gu Liang's old classmate, this NPC seems to have served in the system for a long time. He probably knows that everyone has died.
If Gu Liang really talked to him and he told Gu Liang everything, that would not be what Yang Ye wanted to see.
Therefore, Yang Ye was glad to see Ming Yue's attitude towards Gu Liang was so strange.
At night, when he returned to the house, Gu Liang was still terribly hot.
He took a shower as usual, and blown on the electric fan for a long time. After removing the heat from his body, he relaxed.
He glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed that it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.
Gu Liang thought for a moment, sat up, went to the door and listened to the movement outside the door.
There were footsteps in the corridor, and the sound of liquid splashing on the door panel and the floor.
It sounds like what Boss Ling said earlier - she sprinkled dog blood at the door of everyone's room to prevent ghosts from entering our room.
At about 11 o'clock sharp, the outside of the house was completely quiet.
According to what Boss Ring said earlier, at this time, she began to use spiritualism.
Gu Liang left the door, went to the other side of the house, opened the window and looked out.
When it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, he decided to close the doors and windows and go to sleep, and didn't look outside again.
Now before 12 o'clock, he seized the time as much as possible to observe this inn more.
What Gu Liang pushed open was the window on the back side of the inn.
After pushing open the window, he glanced down first. With the help of the light, he could see a lot of straw under the building.
According to what the bell boss said before, these straws are used for cooking and burning fire.
The food that everyone eats these days is made with fire from this kind of straw, and the taste is indeed very different from that made with natural gas in the city.
Oh, and speaking of cooking...
Gu Liang looked towards the building next to him, and he happened to be able to see the back kitchen.
To Gu Liang's surprise, the back kitchen door was open so that he could see the fleeting fire inside.
—Is there anyone still cooking at this point
Gu Liang frowned.
After a while, I saw Mingyue walking out from inside.
Across the night and at a rather long distance, Mingyue seemed to feel Gu Liang's gaze and looked sideways.
Gu Liang didn't hide either, he just looked at Mingyue openly.
He was really curious why Chef Huang needed to light the fire in the middle of the night.
Mingyue smiled faintly at Gu Liang, then turned around and returned to her room.
The door of the kitchen was left open, but the fire inside was still burning.
Gu Liang could no longer see the light of the fire, but faint smoke drifted out from under the stove, lingering around the kitchen entrance, as if it was covered with a layer of veil.
next morning.
The card started shaking at 6:30, sending Gu Liang a new plot.
Gu Liang stayed in bed for ten minutes, and finally got up.
After reading the new plot roughly, he got out of bed dazedly, went to take a shower, and regained his sanity.
However, after blowing on the electric fan all night, his head still hurt a little. He imitated Yang Ye's way of massaging his scalp and massaged his temples for a while. After a little improvement, he went out.
Gu Liang also arrived at the restaurant in time for breakfast.
But he was the last one to come.
After entering the restaurant, Gu Liang took a look, and found that everyone was there except for the waiter Liang and Chef Huang.
Everyone was still sitting at the round table last night, and the order of seating was exactly the same as last night.
Yang Ye waved to Gu Liang, and Gu Liang stepped forward and sat beside him.
After a while, the waiter Liang walked into the restaurant and brought some steamed buns and the like for everyone to share among themselves.
"There are still a few dishes that Chef Huang is frying. I'll bring them over in a while."
Through this sentence, Gu Liang was sure that the chef was still alive.
It looks like there was no murder last night, and all the characters are still able to have breakfast here.
While eating breakfast, Liang served everyone tea and water, and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"
As President Gao, Yang Ye looked at Tourist Jia: "During the chat in the morning, I heard that you like mountain climbing. I like it too. How about we go mountain climbing together, and we can exchange fitness experiences on the way."
Tourist Jia nodded: "Okay. I know you. We also have some contacts in business. Let's go together."
After saying this, Tourist Jia asked Jia's girlfriend next to him: "Do you want to go together?"
"For mountain climbing... Forget it, I don't want to go."
Girlfriend Jia looked at Wang Guyao, "I lived with Wang Guyao last night. We also discussed it. We both want to see the forest of steles. We both like chess and plan to finish watching the forest of steles. It's over the pavilion." Play chess or something."
"Okay, then you go to play. Let's see you at noon." Jia You said.
Upon hearing this, the waiter Liang put down Xiaodie's peanuts, and asked Gu Liang and Li Xiaoyu, "Where are Senior Hua and Zhao Meili? Is there any place you want to go?"
As Senior Hua, Gu Liang replied according to the plot received in the morning: "I don't like sports. I'll go fishing. Please take me to get fishing gear later."
Liang service said: "No problem."
Li Xiaoyu, as Zhao Meili, said: "Then I will go fishing with Senior Hua."
Li Xiaoyu clearly felt a scorching gaze.
Turning her head, Li Xiaoyu met that gaze, which was naturally Yang Ye's.
She hurriedly said: "People are all people!"
It took about 30 minutes to eat breakfast. After picking up the fishing gear, Gu Liang took Li Xiaoyu out of the inn, walked around to the back of the inn, walked all the way down the mountain road, and walked for another 30 minutes to Baishui Lake at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Liang looked at the card, and the time displayed on it was almost 8:10.
From the moment she left the inn, Li Xiaoyu's expression was a little dignified.
At this moment, while fiddling with the bait, Gu Liang asked her: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. In fact, I should have gotten used to it by now. It's just... well, when I just left the inn, I thought it was foggy yesterday. Yesterday, Chef Huang..."
Li Xiaoyu rubbed her face, "I don't know if this kind of person will really die in the game."
Gu Liang put the bait on the hook and handed the rod to Li Xiaoyu. "Look at the lake water and go fishing, you'll feel better. Can you fish?"
Li Xiaoyu took the fishing rod and said, "I'll see how you fish first. I'll learn later."
Gu Liang picked up a fishing rod again, put the bait on the hook, and then swung the rod to let the hook sink into the water.
"Did you see the buoy floating on the water? If the buoy starts to float up and down, it means that the fish has bit the bait. At this time, the rod should not be retracted too fast, as it will scare the fish away. But it should not be too slow, because it is too slow , the fish may eat the bait and run away. If the timing is good, you can catch the fish. You will know if you try it.”
"Okay. Then I'll give it a try. Why do you know everything?" Li Xiaoyu smiled, "But isn't fishing usually an activity for the elderly? You are quite an old cadre."
"Fishing really brings peace of mind. It was Xun Feng who suggested me to go fishing. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know how he is doing in this game."
After Gu Liang said this, Li Xiaoyu started to spin the fishing rod.
I saw that she didn't care about it, grabbed the fishing rod and swung it vigorously. The force almost threw the hook to Gu Liang's ear.
Gu Liang narrowly avoided, shook his head, put down his own fishing rod, took Li Xiaoyu's fishing rod again, helped her throw the rod into the water, and handed it back to her.
Li Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "It wasn't intentional!"
Gu Liang: "It's okay. It won't be normal the first time."
Li Xiaoyu laughed again. "Wow, it's rare to see you comforting someone!"
Gu Liang hooked his lips and made a silent gesture, "Don't scare the fish away."
Then Gu Liang went fishing with peace of mind.
However, Gu Liang noticed that he and Li Xiaoyu were not the only ones here.
The lake is not that big. There is a fishing boat in the middle of the lake.
A fisherman was sitting on the fishing boat, also fishing.
Sensing Gu Liang's gaze, the fisherman raised his head and smiled at Gu Liang, and asked from afar, "Young man, are you here to fish too?"
Gu Liang nodded and said nothing.
He realized almost immediately that this person was an NPC.
Although it is said that as the script becomes more and more advanced, the performance of the players in the interpretation of the plot becomes more and more realistic, but there is still a difference with the NPC. When the fisherman saw it, he was really a fisherman who had been on the lake for decades and experienced wind and rain.
After all, this natural state of acting is beyond the reach of ordinary players.
After withdrawing his gaze, Gu Liang began to fish with peace of mind, and he had already caught several fish in a short while.
Li Xiaoyu next to him didn't catch any, and after twenty minutes, he gave up completely.
Li Xiaoyu teased the fish that Gu Liang caught in the bucket for a while, she was so bored, she couldn't help chatting with Gu Liang. "How can you keep silent? I'm bored to death. I'll never go fishing again. Unless with my boyfriend."
"You're young, you don't have a heavy heart. It's normal." Gu Liang said.
"You're not very old, are you?" Li Xiaoyu couldn't help sighing, "According to the timeline, we will have to fish until noon. There are still several hours! How can I survive? It would be great if I could use this time to review and do the questions .”
"I shouldn't be a soy sauce character this time." Gu Liang glanced at the NPC fisherman not far away, and said to Li Xiaoyu, "If I guess correctly, I suspect that I am a detective this time."
"Why?" Li Xiaoyu asked.
Gu Liangdao: "Because I will come to fish again in the afternoon after I have eaten at noon. My timeline today is very simple, I have been fishing all the time. This fisherman should be used by the system as my alibi."
Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment: "I... I have my own business in the afternoon. I won't come fishing in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Gu Liang put down his fishing rod and looked at her: "I almost forgot. I should tell you about my mental journey right now. After I came to the inn, I seemed to fall in love with Boss Ling at first sight. The night before yesterday, I met After she took a bath, I couldn't help falling in love with her."
Gu Liang's tone was very calm, without any emotion.
Li Xiaoyu was still listening to music. "Damn it's so hot, does Yang Ye know?"
Gu Liang reminded her: "Pay attention to the character design."
Li Xiaoyu quickly changed his face: "This vixen! She actually seduced you senior! Senior, don't be fooled by her!"
Gu Liang narrowed his eyes: "It stands to reason that you will accompany me to fish in the afternoon. But you just said that you can't. You shouldn't, through the chat between you and me just now, you know that I fell in love with Boss Ling, So I became murderous towards her, and want to do it this afternoon?"
Li Xiaoyu imitated Gu Liang's tone. "Pay attention to the character design. I can't tell you."
Gu Liang fished all morning, while Li Xiaoyu was bored all morning.
At 12 noon, the two returned to the inn restaurant on time.
All the tourists are there, except for the Jia tourist.
When Liang served the food, Gu Liang heard Jia's girlfriend ask: "You have been at the inn this morning? Did you see Tourist Jia?"
The waiter Liang said, "Did he not come back? I'll ask other people for you later."
"Okay. Thank you." Girlfriend Jia asked President Gao played by Yang Ye again, "Don't you know? Didn't you two climb the mountain together?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "He got tired halfway, so he said he came back first. I climbed to the top by myself, and I haven't seen him since."
Gu Liang couldn't help looking at Yang Ye.
After the two were too familiar, he even guessed that Yang Ye was lying.
Yang Ye blinked at him, but didn't say much for now.
In addition to missing Tourist Jia at noon, there was another person that Gu Liang didn't see—Boss Ling.
But he heard Boss Bell's voice.
Boss Ling's voice came from far away in the yard. "Excellent service, are you all satisfied with the food? Ask for me."
"Okay." The waiter Liang answered loudly in the corridor outside the restaurant door, "You consumed a lot last night, you looked so haggard. Go back to your room and rest."
Boss Ling just said: "I'll go to the lobby to make an account. It's all right."
"Then I'll continue to serve the dishes." After the waiter Liang finished speaking, her footsteps headed towards the kitchen.
After lunch, Gu Liang followed the script and went fishing again.
It was 12:30 when we finished eating, and it was almost 1:00 pm when Gu Liang arrived at the lake.
Sure enough, Li Xiaoyu did not follow.
Gu Liang really felt that she was going to kill Boss Ling, after all, he couldn't see other murderous intentions on her body for the time being.
After fishing for an hour and a half, Gu Liang caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and raised his head.
——There is a stone bridge across the lake on Baishui Lake, from the top of the mountain where the inn is located to the top of the mountain further north.
At this moment, Service Liang is walking on the stone bridge.
The lake is not big, but it took about 15 minutes to walk, and the beautiful service came to the other side.
After landing on the shore, her figure quickly disappeared into the bushes and disappeared from sight.
A few wooden houses can be seen faintly on the mountain on the opposite bank, but like the inn, most of them are covered by mountains and trees, and it is not clear for people to see for a while.
After Liang went to the other side, Gu Liang never saw her come back.
Therefore, when Gu Liang finished fishing and returned to the inn at 5:30, he was very surprised to see that Liang's service was actually at the inn.
When Gu Liang walked in from the gate of the inn's courtyard, Liang's waiter was walking towards the inn's lobby with a medicine box.
Gu Liang could not help but stop her and asked, "Who was injured?"
Liang served: "At 5 o'clock, Tourist Jia came back and had a fight with President Gao!"
President Gao? Isn't that Yang Ye
Is Yang Ye injured
Gu Liang frowned, and immediately rushed to the lobby.
At this moment, the public address rang.
"Ding dong! It's 5:30 p.m. on June 9th, and the plot deduction is over. Let's move on to the investigation!"
"Every player has half an hour to find the deceased; another half an hour to check the scene of the crime."
"The venue for this script is relatively large, and the free exploration time is 7 hours."
"The exploration time is over, and the system will distribute supper for everyone."
"After the supper is over, we will enter the intensive discussion session. The discussion time is 5 hours."
Gu Liang's first reaction when he heard this was - well, don't sleep tonight.
After listening to the broadcast, Gu Liang decided to go to the lobby to check on Yang Ye's injuries.
At this moment, he heard someone calling himself behind him.
It was a sound that surprised him - "Brother Liang."
Gu Liang turned his head and saw Mingyue at a glance.
Mingyue walked to Gu Liang's side and said, "The performance session is over, I can talk to you about things other than the script."
Liang service has already walked up the stone steps to the lobby on the second floor.
The other players haven't come out yet.
The courtyard was so quiet, only Gu Liang and Ming Yue were left for a while.
Gu Liang looked at him: "So you do still recognize me."
"Of course." Mingyue smiled, "I want to tell you something. This time, I am one of the murderers."
Gu Liang: "...?"
"I don't care. I'm an NPC, and I won't really die if I'm voted out by you."
When Mingyue said this, she suddenly asked him: "Do you still remember that when you were in school, when you read 'Mingyue' in ancient poems, your classmates always made fun of me and said my name is too literary?"
Gu Liang shook his head: "I can't remember what happened more than ten years ago. I just remember that you played chess very well."
Mingyue looked at Gu Liang and said, "The only one who didn't follow suit is Brother Liang. I have always been very grateful to you."
Gu Liang didn't answer, and only heard Mingyue say again: "So I am willing to help you. I know you are the detective this time. It's just—"
Mingyue looked up and saw other players walking towards the courtyard one after another.
He only said to Gu Liang: "This case is special, I am not the only murderer. I don't know who the other murderer is. So, as an old classmate, I can only help you here."
The author has something to say:
Mingyue: I am the murderer.
Gu Liang: I just quietly watch you act.
