The matter of changing rooms was decided here, and the next thing to solve was Lu Xiuyang's problem.
Although they made a semi-unanimous decision, the other party did not know at all.
Guan Chengze didn't want to be such a person who might be hated by Lu Xiuyang, so he decided to do it another way.
However, it wasn't the best time yet, and the problem with Lu Xiuyang's puppet that needed to be solved first.
"Lu Xiuyang, have you tested anything?" Guan Chengze asked in a loud voice.
Lu Xiuyang turned around. He didn't know where he was in the room. He pulled out a pair of scissors. The tip of the scissors clearly pierced the doll's arm, but Lu Xiuyang didn't appear to be in pain.
"It's fine. The puppet is completely fine." Lu Xiuyang looked at the puppet's fingers holding the scissors, opened the scissors, caught the puppet's arm, and then closed it forcefully.
The doll made a screeching sound.
Xu Ziyue thought for a while, this scene might be too cruel for the puppet, so he blocked the puppet's eyes with his other arm. But the puppet didn't seem to appreciate it.
With both hands on Xu Ziyue's arm, he pressed Xu Ziyue's arm down again, exposing half of his head, quietly watching Lu Xiuyang destroy the puppet that looked exactly like him.
Fortunately, Xu Ziyue was standing relatively back, and no one saw this scene.
Since he wants to see... He has no reason to hide it from watching... I just don't know if he will be scared.
"Cuckoo-"
The arm of Lu Xiuyang's puppet was cut off.
Everyone held their breath, fearing that Lu Xiuyang's arm would also be broken in the next second, but none of the pictures they imagined appeared. Lu Xiuyang is safe and sound.
"I'm fine, I'm fine... I survived!" Lu Xiuyang let out a sigh of relief and sat back on the bed.
Guan Chengze twitched the corners of his mouth, not believing that it was really all right.
No reason to spare such a big circle, nothing happened, right
But Guan Chengze was as if nothing had happened. He even stepped forward with a smile and congratulated Lu Xiuyang: "It's fine if you're fine. It's not a waste of effort this morning."
"Yeah..." Lu Xiuyang seemed to have exhausted his strength, and his smile looked a little tired, "I was too tired before, and I didn't sleep all night... I'll sleep for a while, and you can call me after I eat." Come on, Lu Xiuyang didn't even have the strength to say another word, so he lay on his back on the bed, pulled a corner of the quilt, and fell asleep in a second.
Yan Shi had no choice but to turn around and walk out of the room, "Go and talk next door."
In the room of Tang Yunyun and Hu Beijia next door, as soon as they sat down, Tang Yunyun couldn't help but started to talk about her feelings.
She said, "Lu Xiuyang is too wrong, obviously it wasn't like this when he first came here!"
Hu Beijia said: "How do you know what he should be like? Can't tell if he is disguised?"
"But, if you are pretending, why not continue?"
Yan Shi continued: "Because he didn't have that mood? Or maybe he wasn't like that at all, but he was just scared, extremely scared. After all, he's not like you, the first time." And Tang Yunyun arrived I'm really lucky so far, and I haven't encountered any incidents.
Tang Yunyun was speechless.
"There's no need to discuss about human nature?" Guan Chengze raised the corners of his mouth and glanced at the little doll that Xu Ziyue was holding, "There must be something strange about Lu Xiuyang's doll."
He went on to say: "I was in a game world where I had clearly obtained key props to survive, but at present we don't know whether this prop exactly like us should be destroyed or protected."
Tang Yunyun muttered, "Whether it's destruction or protection... Hasn't he already destroyed it..." Guan Chengze had never told Lu Xiuyang these words before.
Guan Chengze just looked at Tang Yunyun, her eyes gradually turned cold, Tang Yunyun couldn't help but slowly lowered her head.
Seeing this, he said again: "If there is no one to test, then none of the six of us will survive."
Yan Shi nodded, "What Guan Chengze said is not wrong. Lu Xiuyang's doll is ready, what about after that? Who do you think it belongs to?"
Tang Yunyun swallowed and started to get nervous.
Xu Ziyue could see that, except for Tang Yunyun, the other three had a clear boundary with normal people.
Xu Ziyue sat here, the hairs on his body seemed to stand up uncontrollably.
But he didn't dare to go... Although the puppet could deter Jin'er, he didn't know if other ghosts and monsters would work, so the body of the puppet... probably couldn't stop anything.
Thinking of this, Xu Ziyue touched the little doll's head sadly, and suddenly a feeling of "it's an old mother, I'm useless" arose in his heart.
Hu Beijia suggested: "Let's go out of the hotel in the afternoon and have a look... Try to find the body. We can't be trapped in it."
Guan Chengze nodded: "Okay."
Yan Shi reminded Guan Chengze: "What are you going to say about changing rooms?"
Guan Chengze smiled, "You'll know when the time comes."
Yan Shi frowned slightly, becoming more vigilant towards Guan Chengze.
"It's a pity, without Lu Xiuyang, we can't open the other rooms... I'm not sure what's hidden here." Guan Chengze nodded his chin and looked at Xu Ziyue, "You know the keys to the rooms here are all there. where?"
Xu Ziyue was stunned by the question, and he shook his head blankly. "How would I know?"
Guan Chengze shrugged, "Just like you think there is something in that room, I also think you know where the keys are."
Xu Ziyue broke into a cold sweat by Guan Chengze's words. But he still frowned, looking at Guan Chengze inexplicably: "I thought there was something in that room before, I felt it when I passed by!"
Guan Chengze asked, "How do you feel?"
Of course it's the feeling of being loved by a puppet!
- But that can't be said.
"At that time, I smelled a smell of traditional Chinese medicine. It came out from it, and it disappeared after I waited." After speaking, Xu Ziyue rolled his eyes deliberately.
Yan Shi and Hu Beijia didn't say anything and listened quietly the whole time. But what they were thinking, only they knew.
Yan Shi said: "That puppet of Lu Xiuyang... According to previous experience, it will not take long to tell us the reason. So for now, we will wait, try to look at it as much as possible, and find more things. The keys to all the rooms in the hotel are also very good. Important things... If anyone sees it and finds it, they can say it, and let's work together to figure out how to get it."
Xu Ziyue thought angrily: He didn't believe what he said about his feelings.
He doesn't use those things at all, can't he keep them for the New Year? There are still more than ten days... He wants to find a place to live alone
But thinking about what he saw from the window when he first entered the village... Xu Ziyue was a little discouraged.
Tangled to and tangled, he can't leave for the time being. If he is gone now, he can be more convinced that he has a way, then it will be even less likely to let him go... So sneaking is actually the best. After all, Xu Ziyue is not the one onion that is one to five.
- Not even with two girls and a patient on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Xu Ziyue had an intuition that Hu Beijia was also very powerful.
*****
Jin'er came up to call them at lunch, and Yan Shi went to call Lu Xiuyang up. Lu Xiuyang, who had slept for a while, looked much refreshed, and in the corner of their room lay the puppet with his eyes open and one of his arms broken.
Tang Yunyun took two more glances, then rubbed her arms and went downstairs.
After lunch, Jin'er didn't show up either, Yan Shi took Xu Ziyue out of the hotel, and finally began to explore this humanoid village.
Speaking of the corpse they were looking for, both Yan Shi and Hu Beijia thought it was probably in the grave. After all, that's also the best place to stack these.
And the floor-to-ceiling windows of the rooms where they lived could see the graves at the back of the hotel.
"Then go to the grave first."
No one refuted Yan Shi's proposal.
It doesn't matter where Xu Ziyue goes, because he had a cold before, and his body was a little soft, but this day he couldn't rest at all, and even walking was a little difficult.
Tang Yunyun, who was next to last, looked back at Xu Ziyue, whose cheeks were starting to turn red and her breathing was a little heavy, "No, you can't do it anymore?"
Xu Ziyue glared back and passed Tang Yunyun, "A man can't say no!"
Tang Yunyun: "...Cut."
In addition to a road from the beginning to the end of the humanoid village, the gaps between the houses on both sides can only accommodate one and a half people to pass through, which means that people with strong stature will be slightly narrower in the past. And even if you walk through this small alley, you will find that there are still house gates in this alley, and then the road directly behind the hotel is blocked.
After walking around like this for nearly ten minutes, in the end, it was only with Yan Shi's sense of direction that they managed to reach the tomb right behind the hotel.
The rooms on the first floor of the hotel all have windows facing the tomb, which they did not expect, because the studios and pharmacies they went to, and the room where Xu Ziyue found the body, did not see windows... But at present they only It can be imagined that the oil paintings hanging in the studio may have blocked the windows, and the pharmacy should be the location of the window should be the cabinet for storing medicine... As for the room where Xu Ziyue found the body, there were curtains, but they really didn't care. …
They looked in the direction of the tomb, and all the windows on the first floor were black. It was not until they got closer and looked carefully that they realized that it might be paint.
The black opaque paint blocks these windows, so they don't have to worry about Jin'er seeing them from the studio.
The tomb was covered with long-dry straw, and no one should have come here for a long time, because the only way to get in is the crush marks that Xu Ziyue and the others stepped on.
The six people walked in a row like an "army overrunning the realm" to check for the corpse that Xu Ziyue said.
Occasionally, Xu Ziyue couldn't help but look at those tombstones.
Xu Ziyue was still holding the puppet in his hand, so he could only use one hand to clear the grass that reached his hips. He walked slowly, and gradually, he fell behind the others by a certain distance.
"Come and see!" Guan Chengze waved his hand from the front, and shouted in a low voice as much as possible.
When Xu Ziyue heard this, he quickened his movements a little and rushed to the tombstone where Guan Chengze was standing.
"Li Jin." Guan Chengze took off the straw from the tombstone, then wiped the dust off the tombstone with his sleeve, "This black and white photo...is it Jin'er?"
Hu Beijia said calmly: "It's a little like it, but it's not a complete one."
Tang Yunyun was taken aback by the tombstone. After hearing Hu Beijia's words, she quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Jin'er is much prettier than the one in this photo." If the Jin'er they knew was this... Tang Yunyun couldn't sleep at night just thinking about it.
Guan Chengze didn't deny it, he nodded and said, "Dolls should look better than humans."
Tang Yunyun's cold sweat broke down immediately.
Guessing is one thing, but confirming... that's another.
Yan Shi said in a timely manner: "Continue to look and find other discoveries."
Afterwards, several people searched for other clues in the center and surrounding of the tomb.
And this time, Lu Xiuyang found the body that Xu Ziyue saw that time.
It's just that this corpse can no longer be called a corpse.
His appearance looked more like a broken life-size doll.
Only the maggots that have not completely left on it can prove that it was once a corpse.
"Are you sure this is the corpse you saw?"
Xu Ziyue nodded, "I'm sure. His clothes haven't changed. You shouldn't forget it so quickly? This is the person who brought us in on the first day we entered the village."
Yan Shi said, "No."
Xu Ziyue looked over in confusion, what's wrong with this
"He shouldn't have been human since then."
Guan Chengze found a twig on the side, and then went to pick out the smelly clothes and fabrics, so as to see what this once corpse looked like now.
"This..." Hu Beijia crouched down, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, covered his fingers, and poked the body of the corpse, "It looks like the thing we found under the bed."
Guan Chengze poked at the limbs of the corpse with a branch, and a piece of his right arm just happened to be empty.
"That cylindrical shape should be the arm..." Guan Chengze looked around, "I didn't find the palm."
"The thing I found in the morning was still a little elastic to the touch. Now it's close to a hard lump, and it's smoother than it was in the morning. It doesn't feel like the skin. It doesn't look like a corpse anymore." Hu Beijia concluded, "Look Get up... it's like changing from a human to a puppet."
"In other words, the people here will become dolls, right?" Tang Yunyun asked cautiously.
Yan Shi nodded, "Roughly that's right."
"We are probably the only ones alive in the village. Have we seen any other living creatures yet?"
Xu Ziyue and the others shook their heads.
Hu Beijia fell into deep thought: "I want to know more, whether it is a human or a doll who brought us in. Physically, Xu Ziyue saw the appearance of the corpse, and maggots... It can prove that this is a human body before this. , then what controls this person's actions?"
"It should be a puppet..." Tang Yunyun expressed her opinion, "Who can endure this feeling to walk and move? I tremble just thinking about it."
Xu Ziyue noticed that Lu Xiuyang was shaking...
Hu Beijia asked again, "Where did that person go?"
"Yes, it should be replaced by a doll..."
Hu Beijia fell silent, as if thinking about what Tang Yunyun said.
"After this person becomes a puppet, the middle of the torso is empty, why?"
"It's the part that can't be turned into a doll." Guan Chengze touched his chin, "and then all kinds of things that rely on carrion to survive will be attracted. That's why he wrapped himself like that when picking us up."
"When you become a puppet, your body will become brittle." Guan Chengze stepped on the "doll", and the legs of the "doll" suffered from Guan Chengze's gradually increasing force, slowly dented, and then snapped, "Those Things may be attached to it when the body starts to change, and when the body starts to slowly change, those things are trapped in the body whose exterior gradually changes into another material, and then grows inside the body and eats the body. Until the body is safely disabled and the maggots and worms can't survive, they'll find a way to break out of the body."
"About that time ago, people didn't feel it for a long time."
Guan Chengze threw the branch in his hand, "I'm just guessing, don't take it seriously."
Everyone: "… "
Although Guan Chengze said what he said was just guessing, but no matter how he listened to it, he felt it was very reasonable, because they couldn't think of another way to say it.
And there is still one thing that can't be taken down is the one who came to pick them up.
Xu Ziyue didn't need to figure this out, but Yan Shi and the others were full of exploration. Because it's likely to be an event about their survival.
After all, they had to say that they thought Lu Xiuyang was the next person to be turned into a puppet.
And during the period of becoming a puppet, when it is completely "dead" is a very critical point.
As long as they can last until the end of the game, even if half of their bodies are dolls, they are still not "dead", then the game is not over.
So they really need to know this point in time.
But it seemed that Lu Xiuyang didn't have the heart to tell them.
*****
On the way back, the six people went back the same way. Lu Xiuyang, who had regained his spirits, began to become nervous again.
On the way, Hu Beijia looked at the windows of several houses. Some of the rooms were pitch-black, and it was difficult to see inside. In some rooms, you could see a little bit of body parts... In short, it was not very good.
Everything seems to be going back to where it started. This is the only place where they can find some way to clear the customs.
After entering the hotel, Guan Chengze took the lead and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, but I was sleepy. I'll go to Xu Ziyue to sleep first, and don't wake me up when I fall asleep."
Xu Ziyue was confused, wait... Didn't he change rooms with Lu Xiuyang
Yan Shi was also confused.
But if he said now that he also changed rooms...
Lu Xiuyang looked up at Guan Chengze and sneered, "Whatever you want." Then he grabbed Yan Shi's wrist, "Let's go, let's go back to the room."
Yan Shi's chest was full of anger, but he didn't even have to try the strength on his wrist, he knew that he couldn't break free by just relying on him.
But now if I want to change the room... Manic people are even more terrifying. Yan Shi temporarily suppressed those emotions and followed Lu Xiuyang upstairs obediently.
Tang Yunyun opened her eyes wide and looked at Guan Chengze with a "how can you do this" expression.
Guan Chengze asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"
Tang Yunyun's back froze, she turned her head, and didn't look at it.
Guan Chengze looked at Xu Ziyue: "Let's go, let's go back to the room too."
"Oh."
Xu Ziyue said that he didn't really want to pay attention to him.
When he went upstairs and went back to his room, Xu Ziyue couldn't talk to the puppet, and he had to separate the two beds that he had pulled together again!
In the end, Guan Chengze said that he didn't need to…
And Xu Ziyue didn't want to sleep with Guan Chengze at all, so he insisted that he had a cleanliness addiction.
Guan Chengze only thought that Xu Ziyue was calling him trash, but the expression on his face didn't change much. He just excused himself to bring his backpack in another room and left temporarily.
Xu Ziyue sighed and sat back on the bed. Then he poked the puppet with his hand, "Did he find something?"
The little doll looked up at Xu Ziyue, and then his eyes returned to their original positions, looking a little pitiful.
"Okay... I found it when I found it... Who let me choose it myself." Xu Ziyue touched the little doll's head, and the little doll rubbed as if responding.
Xu Ziyue was stabbed to the point of cuteness, and he slammed onto it, causing the little doll to lie back on his back all of a sudden.
Xu Ziyue clenched his fists elatedly, suppressing the little excitement: "Why are you so cute!"
Due to his posture, the puppet stared directly at Xu Ziyue for one second, two seconds, three seconds... Then he raised his two hands and covered Xu Ziyue's eyes.
Xu Ziyue blinked, but he could still see the little doll.
The little doll fluttered and turned his back, burying his face in the quilt.
Xu Ziyue: "!!!"
If it weren't for the inappropriate size, he really wanted to show respect like this!
It's not that men don't like cute things, it's just that most men don't like it that much, and of course the types they like are different.
But just like boys like cute girls too.
Xu Ziyue felt that the little doll was simply the cutest little doll he had ever encountered.
"By the way, were you shy when you said you were going to bed today?" Xu Ziyue poked the back of the doll, then rubbed it with his fingers, and touched again...
The uncontrollable wolf hand recklessly ate the tofu of the puppet.
Xu Ziyue wanted to say something, but he stopped when he heard the door closing next door. After a few seconds, Guan Chengze came back with his backpack.
Xu Ziyue tugged at his clothes. Sitting up again, he also picked up the puppet and placed him in a sitting position.
During dinner, Guan Chengze told Xu Ziyue that he would not go down.
Xu Ziyue didn't want to care about him either, so he went downstairs to eat with the little doll in his arms.
During the meal, he kept thinking, how could he be far away from this Guan Chengze, thinking about it, he would eat the slowest.
"Aren't you going up?"
After Xu Ziyue finished eating and was still sitting at the table, Tang Yunyun asked another question.
Xu Ziyue smiled, "Oh, I don't really want to go up."
Lu Xiuyang laughed, and for some reason, he seemed to think about it again.
Maybe it's because life is so ups and downs... ups and downs.
Xu Ziyue's statement was accepted by Yan Shi and the others. After all, today's events have shown that Guan Chengze is definitely not someone to be fooled, and he may even cheat on his comrades for himself.
When Yan Shi and the others went upstairs one after another, Xu Ziyue was sitting alone in the dining room and sighing. He sighed and coughed uncontrollably.
The puppet tugged at Xu Ziyue's fingers, Tian jumped off Xu Ziyue's knees, and ran away on his own.
Just as Xu Ziyue was about to make a sound, he looked to the left and right and found no one, so he chased after him in small steps and whispered, "What are you going to do?"
When he saw that he ran to the pharmacy, pushed open the door and ran in, Xu Ziyue had no choice but to follow.
The puppet was standing at the foot of the table looking at Xu Ziyue, and said solemnly, "Hold me!"
Xu Ziyue: ... I'm dead.
*****
On the other side, Guan Chengze looked through Xu Ziyue's backpack, and only saw so many things fixed by each player, and couldn't find anything else useful. What's more special, there is only the small coffin that he brought back with the doll when he came back.
Guan Chengze reluctantly opened it and looked at it, but he didn't get anything useful.
Yes, the most important thing is the doll, it doesn't matter if there are others...
*****
Xu Ziyue carried the little doll to the table, watching him hold a brush that was not much shorter than his height in both hands, writing on the paper on the desk.
Xu Ziyue covered his mouth so as not to laugh too much, and then asked, "Just tell me what you have, and I'll just write it."
The puppet looked back at Xu Ziyue: "..."
He turned his head arrogantly and continued to write. No matter what Xu Ziyue said, he ignored Xu Ziyue.
Xu Ziyue was very aggrieved, what did he do? Why am I suddenly mad at me
Although the puppets are a little difficult to write due to physical reasons, they are still very upright, and you can see what they are writing at a glance.
It is preceded by the name of the drug and followed by the measure.
Xu Ziyue watched for a while, suddenly realized, and then began to follow the instructions written by the puppet.
However, when he saw the golden nickname, Xu Ziyue was in trouble again.
Xu Ziyue tried and tried again, and found that he could balance the weight and the medicine in the tray, but the position of the weight... He was blind.
He really didn't know how to calculate this scale.
Xu Ziyue put down helplessly and said, "I don't know how to use..."
The little doll raised his head and stared at Xu Ziyue, as if to say, "Why not?"
After a long while... The little doll lowered his head by himself, then grabbed the scale, as if his heart was broken, sighed a little, and tried to weigh the medicine by himself.
The author has something to say: The calamity is over... prostration
Why is my courier still not shipped, only the courier can make me excited.
