The people who were a little frightened in the kitchen did not find the proprietress when they returned to the lobby, so they discussed going out to investigate the situation, collect some necessary information, and buy some food from the locals by the way. As for the missing Xiao Qing, if she is "dead", she is out of the game, there is no need to look for it, if she is still alive, she will always come back.
The people were divided into three groups, headed in different directions, and finally met at the hotel to exchange information. The external environment is public information, but the quest clues only allow those who find it to participate. If two or more people find it at the same time, they can follow up together, but the more people there are, the higher the chance of being chased by "ghosts". And this game also has a certain degree of competition, whoever can pass the level will get the final gift package.
After 6 o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to the hotel one after another, and the tables in the lobby had been cleaned up. Everyone sat around and began to share the information they collected with each other. The first is this hotel. I heard from the townspeople that it was just an ordinary house. The owner was surnamed Wang, but died of illness five years ago, leaving behind a dumb widow in her twenties. In order to make ends meet, she changed the house into Hotel, entertaining travelers. Because of her withdrawn personality and being a mute, she lives reclusively and rarely interacts with other townspeople. Everyone sees her as lonely and helpless. If there are tourists coming, they will be brought here first.
"It turns out that she is a mute, no wonder she has been silent." Huang Wei looked stunned.
"So, the ghost in this hotel is probably the widow's husband?" Zhu Shan guessed.
"It's hard to say." Cheng Ziming rubbed his chin, "The customs clearance conditions for each link are different. Even if the ghost's identity is confirmed, we don't know what to do next, whether to kill him or find his bones. Or investigate the real cause of his death? The only certainty at present is that our first checkpoint is this hotel."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Wan Feng said carelessly: "Today is just the first day of the game, and we can't do anything without quest clues, so everyone should leave first, and tomorrow will be the highlight."
The others had no objections, each fetched water to freshen up, and then returned to the room.
Zhu Shan pushed open the door, and just as she was about to go in, she saw a person lying on the bed, with her back facing her, covered in shadows, like a black human-shaped cocoon.
Zhu Shan was frightened, grabbed Yi Zheyan who was passing behind her, and whispered: "There is a person lying on my bed..."
Yi Zheyan leaned forward to take a look, and said, "It seems to be Xiao Qing who disappeared before."
Zhu Shan took a closer look and found that she was indeed very similar to Xiao Qing. She breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Yi Zheyan, walked into the room lightly, and closed the door.
Yi Zheyan stood at the door for a while, but in the end he didn't remind Zhu Shanhu that Xiao Qing had probably become a "ghost" after missing for so long and was not worthy of trust. Seeing her innocent and innocent appearance, he didn't bother to talk about it anymore, so he turned and walked towards his room.
There is no entertainment in the town, and people usually go to bed after nine o'clock. Zhu Shan admired Xiao Qing for daring to go back to her room to sleep alone.
She took off her shoes, lifted the quilt and lay down on it, leaning against the head of the bed without feeling sleepy, so she had to take out her mobile phone to pass the time. There is no signal in the hotel, so you can only play some boring games.
Since she came to this town, she was not in a good mood, but there were hidden cameras everywhere, and it was not easy for her to show it.
The room was unusually quiet, only the slight vibration of the phone and her own breathing.
Ok? Breathing? Zhu Shan suddenly felt something was wrong, Xiao Qing who was lying beside her was so quiet, as if she didn't exist.
She felt a little nervous, hesitated for a while, tried to push her shoulder, and called softly: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing..."
Just about to get closer, there was a creaking sound, Xiao Qing's head suddenly rolled off her neck, turned around, and happened to meet Zhu Shan face to face, under the dim light, a pair of bloody eyes, Stare straight at her.
"Ah—" A scream broke the dead silence of the night.
Zhu Shanshan didn't wear any shoes, jumped off the bed in a panic, rushed out of the room as if fleeing for his life, and slammed on the door of Yi Zheyan's room next door.
"What's wrong?" Yi Zheyan opened the door and looked at Zhu Shan's bloodless face.
Zhu Shan pointed to her room and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing is dead..."
Yi Zheyan walked out of the room, closed the door behind her, and walked to the next door with her, saw the "thing" with a detached corpse on the bed, walked over, lifted the head, and said to Zhu Shanhu: "It's just a dummy. "
"Dummy?" Zhu Shan patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief, and then became furious again, scolding the planning team in his heart, do you want to make it so realistic!
Yi Zheyan's eyes moved slightly, his fingers touched something on his head, he took it out calmly, and put it in his palm.
"I'll help you get the dummy out, you can continue to rest." Yi Zheyan walked out of the room with the head in one hand and the dummy in the other.
Zhu Shan grabbed his sleeve and looked at him pleadingly: "I dare not sleep alone..."
"I'm a man, so it's inconvenient to have sex with you." Yi Zheyan saw her look of despair as if the end of the world was coming, and said calmly, "Since you have decided to participate in a supernatural show, you should be prepared to face fear. In this case It's going to keep happening and you'd better get used to it sooner rather than later."
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Zhu Shan's reaction, and walked out with the dummy.
Zhu Shan looked at his back sullenly, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the head he was holding, which was facing her. The moment she saw that face, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Cold from head to toe.
She clearly remembered that when she saw it for the first time, the face of that dummy was expressionless, but now, there was a weird smile on its face... Watching Yi Zheyan disappear at the end of the corridor, Zhu Shan's whole body went limp, Leaning against the door frame for a while, he shivered and hid in his room.
On the other side, Yi Zheyan threw the dummy in the hotel yard, then returned to the lobby, and took out what he just found, a small rolled up paper sign.
Open the paper sign and look, it says: [Enter the penultimate room on the right side of the corridor and find the widow's hairpin]
Yi Zheyan stuffed the note into his pocket and walked towards the indicated place.
The penultimate room on the right side of the corridor is next to the proprietress. Yi Zheyan walked lightly, trying not to make a sound, quietly came to the door, held the doorknob, turned it a little bit, and slowly pushed the door open.
The room was pitch black, Yi Zheyan groped on the wall for a while, found the light switch, pressed it a few times, but the light didn't turn on. Obviously, the light in this room is not working.
Yi Zheyan took out his mobile phone, raised his hand to take a photo, and suddenly saw a black and white photo placed on the altar in front of him. It showed a man with sunken eyes and an expressionless face staring blankly at him.
Yi Zheyan took a short breath, subconsciously moved the phone away, and guessed in his heart that the man in the photo should be the dead husband of the proprietress.
The phone's light swept to the corner next to the altar, where a dark coffin stood impressively.
Yi Zheyan wondered to himself, the proprietress's husband had already been buried, so why was there still a coffin in the room? Did the proprietress keep her husband's body at home? But he didn't smell any rancid smell, so there should be no corpse in the coffin.
Yi Zheyan stopped thinking about it, and began to search around the room with the help of the phone's light. This room is not big, except for an altar and a coffin. If there is really a hairpin hidden here, then the only possible place to hide something is the coffin.
He had to say that the planning team was so insidious that they asked others to open the coffin of the dead in the dark in the middle of the night.
Yi Zheyan walked to the coffin with a stern face, and found a gap at one end of the coffin. He took a photo into the gap with his mobile phone, and suddenly saw a pair of feet wearing red shoes.
Yi Zheyan: "..."
No surprise, the planning team really put a "dead man" in the coffin.
He put the phone in his mouth, stretched out his hand and pushed open the coffin lid, completely exposing the fully dressed "dead man" inside. The light of the mobile phone shone through, and he unexpectedly saw a familiar face, which was the proprietress of the tavern, the mute widow of the dead husband.
The first thing Yi Zheyan thought of was not the plot, but admiration for the proprietress who was actually on the battlefield, lying in a coffin and pretending to be dead, she was really dedicated.
The other party is so dedicated, so of course I can't be too lazy. I started to think about the meaning of this plot. Is it implying that the proprietress is dead, or does she have a quirk of sleeping in a coffin
While thinking, he searched for hairpins in the coffin. After a while, he found the target in the proprietress' hair.
When Yi Zheyan reached out to get the hairpin, he accidentally touched the proprietress's face, and his hands were cold and without warmth.
His heart moved, and he subconsciously reached into her nose, but he didn't even breathe!
Yi Zheyan's calm expression finally showed signs of cracking. He stretched out two fingers and pressed lightly on her left chest. For 2 seconds... 4 seconds... 10 seconds, there was no heartbeat! ! !
His face turned pale, he withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, and looked at the person in the coffin in surprise. It is impossible to determine whether this is a simulation dummy made by the planning team, or the proprietress is really dead!
He had seen a dummy before. Although it was very similar, he could still see the difference after getting close. However, the proprietress in the coffin was different, it was too real.
Yi Zheyan was secretly startled, won't this supernatural program become a murder scene? !
He gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and finally chose to exit the room, standing still. He has already got the mission hairpin, and there is a paper sign tied to the hairpin, which reads: [Obtain the widow's hairpin, you can save your life]
The next day, everyone came out of the room one after another, and everyone's face was not very good.
Yi Zheyan looked around for a week, and found that Xiao Qing, who disappeared yesterday, was right there, but the blah Huang Wei was gone.
"Huh? Xiao Qing, you're back?" Cheng Ziming also saw Xiao Qing and asked in surprise.
Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Well, I met a 'ghost' yesterday, I didn't dare to come back, so I stayed at a townsman's house for one night."
"So that's how it is." Everyone was relieved, and they were about to ask for details, but Yi Zheyan said: "Cheng Ziming, isn't Huang Wei in the same room as you, what about others?"
Cheng Ziming replied: "He left the room at 1 o'clock in the morning and never came back. I don't know where he went."
When Huang Wei left, Cheng Ziming noticed something and checked the time by the way. He guessed that the other party should have discovered the mission clue, since he didn't tell him, he naturally wouldn't follow.
Hearing what Cheng Ziming said, everyone probably guessed that Huang Wei must have encountered a "spiritual event", but they didn't know if he would come back alive.
However, in one day and one night, Xiao Qing, Zhu Shanhu, Yi Zheyan, and Huang Wei stepped on thunder one after another. This episode of the supernatural program is very tight, and there are traps everywhere. There are still 6 days left, and after 6 days, ghosts Know if they will be driven crazy by those bastards in the planning team!
At this time, Cheng Ziming suddenly seemed to think of something, got up and went to the counter, turned out the accommodation register, found the page signed by everyone, just glanced at it, his face changed, and he whispered: "Huang Wei is dead!"
"What?" Everyone immediately gathered around.
Cheng Ziming handed the registration book to them, and saw that the word "Huang Wei" written on the top had turned red, while the names of the others were still black. This hint couldn't be more obvious, Huang Wei should be out.
After Huang Wei was Wan Feng, he said with a dry smile, "I won't be the one to 'die' next, right?"
Cheng Ziming thought that when the registration was first started, the members of the photography team only wrote a code name, and they probably had expected it a long time ago.
"I think it's better not to leave your name on the register," Cheng Ziming said.
Everyone also agreed.
Just when Cheng Ziming was about to tear off that page, a white hand suddenly stretched out from the side and pressed on the register.
Everyone looked along the arm and saw a familiar face, which was the proprietress of the hotel.
Yi Zheyan's pupils constricted for a while, looking at the proprietress standing upright in front of him, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
This episode of the supernatural show, if the planning team is not super-skilled, then it is really supernatural!
On the other side, in the base camp of the planning team, the team leader looked at the recording and suddenly had an idea: "I think our program can have a special feature that is different during the New Year."
"What special?" everyone asked.
"Simultaneous live broadcast online."
