The game feels a little unplayable.
But there is no way, the new mode that I created, I can only play with tears.
[You hold back your fear and observe carefully, and you find that the faces on the ceiling are beautiful, all of them look like women, their lips are open and closed, as if they are saying something]
[Please pass a listening test]
Shen Dongqing cooperated: "Yes."
[Failed to listen.]
[Those voices turn into meaningless moans in your ears, you can only feel their pain...]
The game paused for a while, [What are you doing?]
Shen Dongqing moved a small stool and stood on it.
This grocery room was below the stairs, and it wasn't too high. When Shen Dongqing stood up like this, he almost touched the ceiling.
He heard the problem of the game and said rightly: "I can't hear it because it's too far, I can hear it when I get closer!"
[…]
Shen Dongqing waited for a while, then reacted and said, "Pass a listening test."
[Successful listening test]
[You heard them say...]
Shen Dongqing interrupted the game: "Stop babbling, I will listen to it myself."
Perhaps because of the passing of the listening test, Shen Dongqing heard the face on the ceiling exhale gently, and all the sounds of unknown meaning converged into two words.
"Girl-girl-"
Shen Dongqing: "Girl?"
After he understood, he jumped off the small stool.
The detective quickly asked, "What did you see?"
Shen Dongqing pointed to the top.
The detective looked up, but saw nothing but the ceiling with the chandelier hanging from it.
Shen Dongqing: "They said the word 'girl'."
The detective subconsciously thought of the girl's temple located halfway up the mountain. He turned around and said, "I found the register from 18 years ago. Su Xiaoying did live here."
Su Xiaoying is his mission target.
The detective said: "In the register, Su Xiaoying lives in the attic, I think I can go and have a look."
The doctor hesitated for a moment: "The game told me to report to the village infirmary."
The photographer said: "I also received a notice. The game said that I am very curious about the Girl's Temple and want to take photos there at close range."
Sounds like a very dreadful act.
But there is no way. According to the script and characters, as a new generation of young people who have grown up in a modern society, they will not think about supernatural ghosts whenever they encounter something.
This death, what should be done or must be done.
At the same time, Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan also heard the sound of the game.
[Because of the kind reminder from the old man, you choose to spend the night in the hotel, and when you wake up the next day, the rain has stopped, and you want to go to work and visit your seriously ill grandma]
[You left the ancient town when you were very young and never came back. Your memory of your grandmother is very vague. You only remember that there was a cherry tree next to your hometown]
Shen Dongqing: "Sakura tree?"
But don't cherry blossoms bloom in spring
What is the difference between finding a cherry tree in autumn and fishing in a swimming pool
The doctor went out with a small medicine box on his back and said before leaving, "The innkeeper must know that you can persuade her to let her take you to the cherry blossom tree."
The doctor may be thinking that the village infirmary is unlikely to be in danger, and the footsteps are brisk.
The opposite of her is the photographer, who looks like he is going to his own grave.
Shen Dongqing tilted his head: "Convince?"
The aunt was sitting at the counter watching a TV series, swinging her fan and knocking melon seeds, smiling so much that she couldn't even see her eyes.
Just as she was fascinated, a figure stuck in front of her, blocking the TV show on the wall.
The aunt waved her hand: "Go, go, go farther."
Shen Dongqing leaned against the counter and said in a good voice, "Auntie, ask a question, are there any cherry blossom trees nearby?"
Aunt is very uncooperative: "No, I don't know."
Shen Dongqing thought for a while, and as the doctor said, asked for a persuasion dice.
[… big failure]
[Auntie's will is firm, and she is not persuaded]
Shen Dongqing changed the way of persuasion.
Physical persuasion.
However, this method is mostly used for non-human NPCs. The aunt in front of her is obviously a human being. Shen Dongqing has the good character of respecting the old and loving the young, so of course he will not start directly.
He chose to persuade well.
Shen Dongqing clenched a small fist.
The aunt looked indifferent, and did not take Shen Dongqing's "persuasion" at all.
Then Shen Dongqing punched down lightly, with a "bang", and a deep hole appeared on the sturdy wooden cabinet.
The aunt was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair: "What are you doing?"
Shen Dongqing smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, we are good people, just want to ask a question."
Auntie glanced cautiously at the counter.
This counter is very sturdy. It has been used for more than ten years. I didn't expect that this gentle young man punched him directly. If it hits someone...
Aunt swallowed her saliva: "I, I, I seem to remember."
[… You persuaded the NPC]
The aunt said, "Just at the foot of the mountain, a family planted a cherry tree next to it, and you can see it as soon as you go there."
Shen Dongqing withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
The aunt clutched her pounding heart and watched the two walk out. Before she could catch her breath, she saw the suave young man folded back again.
The aunt hurriedly swore to the sky: "I don't know anything!"
Shen Dongqing glanced at her suspiciously, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and went out again.
Aunt:…
What kind of guest is this!
Going out along the bluestone path, the buildings on both sides gradually decreased, and when we came to the path leading to the Girl's Temple, there were already weeds all around.
From a distance, there is only one adobe house in the wilderness.
No wonder the aunt said that you can see it as soon as you pass by.
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan approached the adobe house. From the outside, they could see a tree planted in the yard, with bare branches. I wonder if it was a cherry tree.
Probably because of the simplicity of the name, the gates of the courtyard were all open, and Shen Dongqing was still a little disappointed.
The two walked in.
It was too quiet inside, there was no sound at all, as if no one lived at all, and even the red couplet on the door panel had faded to gray.
creak —
Shen Dongqing pushed open a wooden door, and a gust of wind swept in, with a rotten aura.
I don't know what age this adobe house was built, and there is no electricity. It can only be illuminated by the light leaking from the roof.
It was dark inside, and a pale face could be faintly seen flashing by, but because it was so dark, it was impossible to see what it was.
Zhou Wenyan has almost figured out the game mode of this new mode: "Pass a reconnaissance check."
It may be because of bad luck that both of them failed the check.
The game has a taste of schadenfreude: [In the dark, you found nothing, just thought it was dazzling]
Shen Dongqing raised his head silently, without saying a word.
The game has long been accustomed to the showy operations of these two thorny players, and it is a bit strange to see this, and it is rare to ask a question: [… What are you thinking?]
Shen Dongqing: "I was wondering how difficult it would be to lift the ceiling off."
[…]
Shen Dongqing smiled playfully: "Just kidding."
As soon as the words fell, he rushed up with a stride, reached out and grabbed the place where the pale face flashed, picked up the things there and walked out.
[? ? ?]
Shen Dongqing's thinking is simple and rude. Since the room is too dark, can't you see it when you take it out
Walking out of the adobe room, Shen Dongqing looked down.
It is a photo frame with a photo embedded in the frame, and the place where the photo was taken is in this small courtyard. The girl with braided braids is smiling brightly at the camera, and behind it is a blossoming cherry tree.
Zhou Wenyan followed, looked at the girl in the photo, and said, "This should be Ying." The girl who wrote to them.
"cough cough..."
A cough came from behind.
The two turned their heads at the same time.
I don't know when, a short and thin old lady stood at the door, leaning on the door with one hand, coughing out of breath.
"You, you..." The old lady's eyes fell on Zhou Wenyan, her originally scattered eyes suddenly sharpened, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Wenyan walked over with the photo frame and shouted, "Grandma."
It's a pity that the warm confession drama did not happen.
The old lady snatched the photo frame from Zhou Wenyan's hands at a speed that was not suitable for her age, and said viciously, "Go! Go! Who told you to come back! Get me out of here!"
After finishing speaking, the old lady staggered back to the room without taking a second look.
In normal times, Zhou Wenyan would have persuaded the NPC (physically) and let it cooperate, but now here is a human old lady who is dying, and it is not easy to do it.
Seeing that the figure of the old lady was about to disappear into the darkness, Zhou Wenyan suddenly remembered "Ying" in the letter, and said, "It was Ying who wrote to me and asked me to come back."
Obviously, the old lady shivered, she stopped, and her voice trembled: "We don't have this person here! You must be wrong, wrong!"
The game asked intimately: [Do you need a psychology session?]
Shen Dongqing looked like a fool: "Blind people know that she is lying, okay?"
The game returned to silence, but my heart was broken.
It shouldn't be doing this mess of new rules!
The old lady threw both of them out without special treatment because of Zhou Wenyan's identity. Before she drove out, she stared at Zhou Wenyan with cloudy eyes, her tone was distorted: "Get out of here, this is not what you should do. A place to stay!"
"Also, don't go to the Girl's Temple!"
boom-
The wooden door was closed tightly, and the old lady locked it inside to prevent them from going back.
Shen Dongqing looked at the dilapidated wooden door and suggested, "Go to the Girl's Temple?"
In this game, it is impossible to pass the level without dying.
Not to mention, the Girl Temple is the key clue.
The game took the opportunity to find a sense of existence: [Although your grandma warned you not to go to the Girls' Temple, the more you can't go, the more curious you are. As you grew up in the new era, you don't believe in the theory of strange powers and chaos, go directly to The girl temple]
The path to the Girl's Temple was narrow and steep, Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan walked on it one after the other, and about ten minutes later, the Girl's Temple appeared in front of them.
It may have just rained last night, and the walls outside the Girls' Temple seemed to be covered with layers of blood, and a stench could be smelled from a distance.
After walking in, I found out that the girl's temple was actually dilapidated, there were no pilgrims, weeds were growing wildly in the yard, and there was only a small road in the middle.
Going down the path is the main hall of the Girl's Temple. The incense candles placed at the main entrance have been burned out, and the roof above has been leaking. It is not a statue of a god or Buddha, but a stone statue, which looks like it is carved. A girl who seems to be watching everyone who walks in.
Shen Dongqing stepped over the threshold and walked in.
The Girl Temple seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and the grass is growing out of it.
But now there is not a single aboriginal.
Shen Dongqing wandered around, but found no clues, but found a fainted photographer in the corner.
The photographer may have seen something incredible before fainting, his face was full of horror, and he was holding her camera tightly in his hand.
Shen Dongqing squatted down and looked at her for a while, then took the camera away. He pressed it, the screen lit up, and the last photo taken was the stone statue in the Girl's Temple, which looked nothing special.
Zhou Wenyan saw that Shen Dongqing had been staying inside for a long time, so he went to look for it.
Shen Dongqing waved to him, stood up and handed over the camera: "She took this before she fainted."
Zhou Wenyan looked down at the screen and didn't see anything wrong.
At this time, the photographer woke up slowly.
She groaned and saw two people pestering in front of her, completely forgetting that there was still a person lying on the ground, looking at the camera seriously.
The photographer's legs were a little weak, and he got up with difficulty, and the two of them didn't mean to hold hands.
"you… "
Zhou Wenyan returned the camera and asked, "What did you see before you fainted?"
The photographer was in a trance, and his mind was obviously dull: "I, I saw a cherry tree..."
She couldn't remember the more details, but only remembered the splendid cherry blossom tree.
It is rumored that the dead people are buried under the cherry tree, so that it will bloom so beautifully.
The photographer struggled to recall, only sweating all over his body, other than that, he couldn't think of anything else.
Shen Dongqing didn't find any clues in the girl's temple, and he was a little hungry after spending a long time outside, so he suggested to go back to the hotel first.
Zhou Wenyan had no objection. The photographer was eager to leave this place early and nodded desperately.
The three walked towards the outside of the Girl's Temple, and when they crossed the threshold, the game sound rang: "You have nothing in the Girl's Temple, and you plan to leave, but before you leave, you look back subconsciously, the girl's stone statue is facing you. Smile]
[You seem to be confused and want to make a wish on the girl's stone statue, 'Anyway, the old man said that you can answer your request', you think so]
[Please make a Will Check]
[Shen Dongqing succeeded in the verification]
[Zhou Wenyan's verification is successful]
[Photographer's Will Check... Failed!]
The photographer withdrew the leg he took, as if being pulled by an invisible thread, and walked back to the girl's stone statue.
Her legs softened and she knelt directly in front of the girl's stone statue, her forehead slammed on the ground, making a toothache. . After maintaining this movement for a while, she slowly straightened her upper body and opened her mouth: "..."
Before the photographer could express her wish, someone was faster than her.
Shen Dongqing took the lead to come to the stone statue, clasped his hands together with a "pop", bent down slightly, and said, "Is it possible to respond to your request? Please let the stupid game close down as soon as possible."
Statue:…
game:…
Don't make personal attacks, okay
After such an interruption, the photographer returned to normal, and she fell to the ground: "What, what's wrong?"
Shen Dongqing: "The stupid game makes you wish for this thing."
Photographer: "Make a wish?"
Zhou Wenyan stared at the unchanged stone statue of the girl and said, "Probably someone has to make a wish to enter the next plot, otherwise it will be stuck here."
The photographer is the lucky one.
She shivered: "I, what did I promise?"
Shen Dongqing: "I promise, I will do what I want, it can't be wasted."
Someone has to make a wish.
The photographer threw a failure dice, she should have made a wish, but Shen Dongqing took the lead, and she got out of the state of being controlled by the game.
Hearing that it wasn't her wish, the photographer felt a little better, and she asked again, "What did you promise?"
Zhou Wenyan also put his hands together: "The stupid game will close down soon."
Photographer: ? ?
She seemed to understand a little bit, got up from the ground, facing the stone statue of the girl, her voice unexpectedly raised: "Please let the fool game close down as soon as possible!"
game:…
Personal attacks are also organized in groups, right
The three made their wishes one by one and walked out of the Girl's Temple.
It was said that it was easy to go up the mountain and it was difficult to go down. It took twice as long as the time to walk back to the adobe house.
The photographer's physical strength is not very good, so he leaned against the tree to rest for a while.
It happened that a gust of wind blew, and a pink petal floated over.
The photographer took a look: "Sakura?"
How could there be cherry blossoms this season
Looking in the direction of the wind blowing, the originally bare branches of cherry blossoms are covered with pink and white cherry blossoms, which are even more brilliant than in spring. When the wind blows, the petals of cherry blossoms fall like rain.
bang-
The two wooden doors swayed and were completely blown open by the wind, so that people outside could see the whole picture of the cherry tree.
The photographer's reaction was to pick up the camera and take a photo of the out-of-season cherry blossoms.
Shen Dongqing leaned over and took a look. In the photo taken by the photographer, there was a skinny figure hanging on the cherry tree.
It was the old lady who had met before. She was hung on the branch of the cherry tree, her feet were on the ground, her head was lowered, and she swayed in the wind with the cherry blossom petals.
Shen Dongqing raised her head, but did not see the old lady on the cherry tree outside the screen, lowered her head again, and looked at the camera.
For a moment, the old lady on the screen raised her head, the wrinkles and age spots on her face were all visible, her eyes were sinister, and her lips were twisted open, as if she was saying something.
[You seem to have noticed something, please pass an inspiration check]
Ding-
Invisible dice fall.
[Inspiration check... Great success!]
Shen Dongqing raised his head again. The cherry blossoms on the cherry tree trembled, forming twisted faces. As soon as they moved, the petals on their faces fell down. They were saying:
"Girl, girl, going out sixteen, seventeen and marrying eighteen are like flowers, girl, good girl, she's a good girl—"
At first they sang country songs, but then their voices distorted and almost turned into a vicious curse.
The game can't wait to announce: [You heard the song sung by the cherry tree and felt a chill rise up, please make a sanity check—]
Shen Dongqing nodded and agreed: "It's a very ugly song."
The game roared: [Aren't you afraid! ! !]
The exclamation mark almost turned into an entity and poked on Shen Dongqing's body.
Shen Dongqing thought about it for a while, and then seriously suggested: "I'm not afraid, but the singing is too ugly. I hope that there will be a singing session in the future, and I hope you will train the staff."
[Good... Good...]
The game is once again glad that it is just a string of data. If it is a real entity, wouldn't it be necessary to be pissed off and then come back to life
Shen Dongqing discussed with the game: "Why don't you give me a sanity check, I feel very uncomfortable listening to this song."
This group of ghosts sang like a conjuring song, not so much singing as they were calling souls.
Shen Dongqing said that if he made such a noise at night, he would not be able to stun two or three cowardly people.
[… no.]
This Shen Dongqing is so calm, there is no sign of fear at all. According to the rules, the game cannot be forced to throw dice, so he can only give up reluctantly.
The words fell, and Shen Dongqing saw a flower in front of her eyes. Then she saw that the cherry blossom tree had returned to normal, and the cherry blossoms on the branches had disappeared, leaving only the bare branches and the old lady hanging on the branches.
After they left, the old lady couldn't think about it for some reason, and hanged herself on the cherry tree at the door.
The game jumped out without giving up: [Because of facing the death of the NPC, everyone present made a sanity check, 1/1d6]
[If the photographer fails the sanity check, his sanity is reduced by 4; if Zhou Wenyan fails the check, his sanity will be reduced by 1; if Shen Dongqing fails, his sanity will be reduced by 2]
The photographer has been deducted 1 point of sanity before, and now, she has been deducted 5 points of sanity. Her lips are pale, her head is dizzy, and she can't think.
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan buckled too little, they didn't feel anything.
Shen Dongqing touched his chin, and suddenly realized something: "We haven't seen the dice, how do we know how many were thrown?"
The game is silent for a moment: [Please do not question the fairness of the game]
Shen Dongqing: "It's not that I question fairness or unfairness, I just think you are too stupid."
The game that was attacked personally again almost vomited blood from anger.
[… the game cannot control the final dice result, the game has always been fair and fair]
Shen Dongqing blinked innocently: "I didn't realize you were such a fool before."
In the past, when I entered the game copy, after the game broadcast the process, I stopped and was invisible throughout the process.
Okay now, after I came in, I kept banging, it was just annoying, and I had to come out and bang every now and then.
Shen Dongqing discussed with it: "Can you not come out in the future?"
Game: [… No way]
Shen Dongqing turned to Zhou Wenyan and said, "It said no."
Zhou Wenyan rubbed Shen Dongqing's head: "Just ignore it."
Shen Dongqing said "Oh": "I know, it's a fool anyway."
The game tearfully swears.
One day it will kill these two! ! !
