"What key?" the short-haired woman asked in confusion, "Is there a basement in the villa?"
As soon as the other players heard it, they saw that her expression was not fake, so they looked at Gao Yan and waited for his next sentence.
Only the male player who is also a gardener beside the short-haired woman casts doubtful eyes on the short-haired woman at this moment.
Gao Yan: "The master has lost something, and the thief is one of you."
The short-haired woman said displeasedly: "The male master is slandering us. He was originally out of nothing, deliberately framed the blame and then waited to kill us. I suspect that he is the boss of the game field, deliberately taking advantage of the unknown danger of the game field to kill everyone. Player. You actually believed the boss's nonsense and questioned me?"
Her tone was filled with disbelief and anger, dividing the player and the host into two camps, using her excellent language skills to try to make Gao Yan confront the players.
But the players are not mindless, Gao Yan has just attacked the host, so they won't take a stand against him right now.
Gao Yan asked softly: "Then why do you admit the male host's crime out of nothing?" He looked at the male player who was also a gardener and asked again, "Why do you admit it?"
The gardener player is bald and has a rather simple and honest face. He heard Gao Yan's question and wanted to answer but suddenly stopped. Obviously, he only realized at this time why he had to admit the crime yesterday.
He obviously did not steal, even if he denied it, it was a fact, and it was impossible for the male host to drive him out of the villa.
Because of the weird and absolute fairness maintained by the game field in some cases, the ghosts or bosses in the game field cannot destroy the basic cause and effect of the player's clearance for no reason.
For example, players must be in the center of the game field to clear the level is the most basic cause and effect, the ghost boss is not allowed to drive players out of the center of the game field without a reason.
Because it destroys the most basic cause and effect.
So, if the Gardener player really didn't steal, it's impossible for the host to threaten to kick him out of the villa, the center of the playground.
But why did the gardener player admit the crime of the male host at that time? Why succumb to the threat of the male host
The gardener player recalled what happened in the daytime yesterday, his face suddenly changed dramatically, he turned his head and stared at the short-haired girl, his face was quite hideous.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I remember it! Because you suddenly ran out from behind and bumped into me, causing me to break the blue and white porcelain placed at the entrance of the stairs. It just so happened that the master appeared, and you apologized before you even said anything, saying that we I didn't break the blue-and-white porcelain on purpose. If compensation is required, it will be deducted from the salary. The next step is that the male host wants us to compensate, or else we will be kicked out of the playground. But—"
He raised his voice: "The host didn't say much about the compensation for breaking the blue-and-white porcelain, and the point was to accuse us of stealing! I was misled by you and threatened to be kicked out of the playground, so I didn't think much about it. The reason for stealing is to let the game field admit the basic cause and effect, he originally wanted the players to die, so he said something about breaking the blue and white porcelain and involving me in it."
"However, in fact, the one who really involved me is you! You are the player who really steals things!"
The gardener player was extremely angry after he figured everything out.
If the blue and white porcelain is broken, even if he insists not to compensate, the male master cannot really drive him out of the villa.
But at that time, he was playing the role of a cleaner, and he was afraid of the male owner who might be the boss, so he subconsciously admitted his mistake first, and agreed to change his identity without resistance, from a cleaner to a gardener.
The short-haired girl in front of her stole something important, which must be the key clue to customs clearance. If it touches the basic cause and effect, the master can drive her out.
As a result, while the short-haired girl got the benefits, she also dragged him into the water!
Everyone knows how dangerous it is for a gardener to drive away crows. If he accidentally kills a crow, he will be attacked by the swarm. And if it wasn't for Gao Yan's reminder, they might have missed because of fear.
The short-haired girl was not guilty at all, and did not show her cowardice, but shrugged and said, "You are trying to wrong me now, and I have nothing to say."
There is one other teammate of the short-haired girl. He stood behind the short-haired girl and silently supported her teammates.
The Gardener Player team just died of a teammate, the long-haired girl who was dismembered by the refrigerator. At this time, there are two people left, and naturally they share the same hatred with the gardener player.
As for the blond man and the thin man, because they had exchanged clues with Gao Yan and the others, they temporarily stood by Gao Yan.
"The evidence is solid, you still don't admit it?"
"Who knows if you guys are colluding to deceive me." The short-haired girl shrugged and said with a sneer.
Gao Yan nodded: "I'm cheating on you."
"What?" The mocking smile on the short-haired girl's face stiffened.
Gao Yan: "I was just a little suspicious of you. After all, your team has been testing other players since yesterday, and you are very vigilant. And the two people who died yesterday were your team, but you didn't show any sadness. It means that you are a temporary team. Of course, the death of two people in the team also makes you have a greater sense of crisis... In this case, if you did not steal the key items for customs clearance, how could you admit the crime and run away? To be a dangerous gardener? Unless you have an interest worth the risk."
The short-haired girl put away her sarcastic smile: "I also broke the blue and white porcelain... What if he was the one who really stole things?"
She points to the gardener player.
Gao Yan: "He was the one who really broke the vase. You just bumped into him. Why do you admit it? Helping others?"
"… "
Short-haired woman chokes.
Except for the two members of their team, the other players were all on Gao Yan's side.
Of course it's only temporary, after all, their purpose is the basement and the key.
The short-haired girl was silent for a while, and finally asked sullenly, "How can you be sure that I just stole the key to the basement and not something else?"
"Guess."
The players were speechless and didn't believe it, they just thought that Gao Yan didn't want to say anything.
But Gao Yan really guessed. He remembered what Chu Suibi said before, that some similarities in many real events were combined into a game field.
The missing family of six in Lada Village found the body of the maid in the refrigerator and the bodies of six members in the basement. Since the body of the missing maid was verified in the refrigerator, there should also be a basement in the villa.
So, Gao Yan really guessed.
But players just wouldn't believe it.
Gao Yan didn't intend to explain, so he looked at the short-haired girl and said indifferently, "Look, do we want to cooperate?"
"Cooperation?"
"The villa is so big, it's easy to find the entrance to the basement. Likewise, in such a big town, you can always find the tools to open the door, and you don't necessarily need a key."
The short-haired girl thought for a while. Anyway, all the players knew that the key was in her hands. There were only two people left in their team, and they would definitely not be able to keep the key.
In this way, it would be better for everyone to go into the basement and not reward them at all.
"it is good."
The gardener player's team was originally unwilling and wanted to monopolize the basement key, but the other players were also unwilling, and the two sides were deadlocked.
At this time, Chu Suibi said, "Are you so sure that there is a 'missing friend' hidden in the basement?"
Gao Yan laughed: "I'm also very curious, you two fought so hard, wouldn't it be embarrassing if there was nothing in the basement?"
"… "
Chu Suibi added: "You already know who the 'missing friend' is?"
"… "do not know.
The two sides in the standoff are already starting to feel embarrassed.
Gao Yan clapped his hands: "Okay, let's go together." He looked at the short-haired girl: "Lead the way?"
The short-haired girl nodded, while the gardener player and his teammates looked at each other and didn't speak, expressing their acquiescence.
A group of ten people, led by the short-haired girl, walked towards the basement.
At this time, the male host who was stuffed into the refrigerator struggled to climb out and ran out angrily to look for the player. Seeing no one, he suddenly thought of the basement, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ran towards the basement.
The door to the basement is very hidden, in the utility room under the stairs.
Most people don't think that there is actually a door leading to the basement in the utility room. The short-haired girl can find the door of the basement and steal the master's key, which shows that she is not small.
Remove a huge cardboard box in the corner of the utility room, and a security door with a height of one meter appears on the wall.
It is absolutely impossible to cut with tools such as axe, unless it is a key or a chainsaw.
The short-haired woman took out the key from her shoe and aimed it at the keyhole, twisted it twice, and the door opened with a 'click'.
The door was opened, and there was a dark staircase below. The short-haired woman reached out and groped for a while, and when she touched the switch, she pressed it, and the dim light came on.
Short-haired woman: "My family has a villa with a basement, and the door is set in the utility room, where you can hide some valuables, and thieves usually can't find the door."
Gao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Villa?"
Short-haired woman: "Of course. I still have a building, but it's rented out."
Crowd: Fuck! They are so rich, what are they doing in the junk game
The short-haired girl understood the meaning of everyone's faces, and said angrily: "Do I have a choice? The garbage game forced me to come in!"
Oh wow! Garbage gods also hate the rich, it really is garbage.
Gao Yan, who was still carrying a mortgage, said he didn't want to talk. Chu Suibi, an old beast who saw the need to sell himself, whispered in Gao Yan's ear: "I have several apartments, and the savings are enough to buy two high-rise buildings, just in Suihai City. There are two high-rise buildings in the city center, and even the land can be bought.”
Gao Yan gave him a cold look: "Oh."
After answering, he walked down behind the crowd, his back looking ruthless and indifferent.
Chu Suibi sighed inwardly, how could the child not be moved? Why didn't he want to live in his household registration book
Su Jiang looked at the two of them back and forth, and sighed silently. How could they be so anxious about their conversation
Confess, roll twice on the bed to confirm the relationship, how simple it is to fall in love!
Everyone went down and came to the basement. The basement was about forty square meters, the size of two bedrooms, and there were not too many clutter, so you could see the whole picture at a glance.
The walls of the basement were engraved with strange runes, and on the opposite wall were a shrine and a table, with tributes placed on the table, and a jet-black god statue with a glaring look and only the upper body but no lower body was placed in the shrine.
The player didn't know this statue, and immediately stepped back in horror, fearing that it was an evil god.
Gao Yan happened to know this statue: "Lahu Tianshen, also known as the Tiangou holding the moon, is the guardian deity of Asura Taoism and can ward off evil spirits."
Lahu deity is one of the deities of Thai Buddhism, enshrined in it can ward off evil spirits. Although it is a god, it is actually a yaksha, so the statue looks terrifying and grotesque.
Chu Shuibi looked at the runes that covered the entire wall, and said after a while, "It should be the rune to contain the gods."
God Lahu can ward off evil spirits, and the whole villa and even the whole town is a shadowy place. If the power of the gods is not curbed by runes, I am afraid that some dirty things can't come out to make trouble.
"No one, no corpse, not even anything that looks like ashes."
"Explain that the 'missing friend' we're looking for is not here."
Players are disappointed.
They still have three days, but the banquet held in the villa on the sixth day is obviously not the time for them to appear.
In other words, they really have two days left.
For two days, they didn't even know what the real boss was.
Su Jiang leaned against the wall, saw the boxes piled up in the corner, and sat on them. When he found that they were still strong, he moved back and put his focus on the back. As a result, the next moment he suddenly lost his focus and fell into the box.
At the same time, a dry arm suddenly stretched out and appeared in front of Su Jiang.
Seeing this, Su Jiang widened his eyes: "Fuck!! Brother Yan, help!"
As if his buttocks were on fire, Su Jiang jumped up like a nimble monkey, while the dry arm was hanging around his neck.
When Su Jiang jumped up, his arms and the whole mummified corpse were behind Su Jiang's back, which made all the players on the scene tremble.
Su Jiang turned his face to face a mummified corpse, face to face, and could almost kiss him. A small bug fell from the empty eye socket of the mummified corpse and landed on his shoulder. Su Jiang rolled his eyes, suddenly tore off the mummified corpse behind him, and slammed it onto the floor over his shoulder.
With a 'bang' sound, countless dust splashed.
Su Jiang pinched the little bug on his shoulders, with a grim expression: "When I was carrying a watermelon knife and chopped the frame, your son-in-law wasn't dead yet. You can't scare me!"
Gao Yan took back the steps he stepped out, and looked slowly at the mummified corpse on the ground.
This is an adult male mummified corpse, wearing a somewhat tattered white robe, with a Buddhist instrument hanging around his neck, and an amulet wrapped around his wrist.
Apparently he was a Buddhist practitioner during his lifetime.
Gao Yan thought about it, looked at the cardboard boxes in the corner, and counted, there were six in total.
"The 'missing friend' we're looking for is in those six cardboard boxes."
The so-called 'missing friend' actually died in the basement of the villa.
The players glanced at the mummified corpse on the ground and determined that they would not suddenly deceive the corpse before slowly walking towards the cardboard box, opening it tentatively, and saw a mummified corpse of a child inside. Then open four other cardboard boxes, which are full of mummified corpses.
The mummified corpses of two adults should be husband and wife. Four are mummified corpses belonging to children, two are children, and two are teenagers and girls.
A family of six, who moved into the villa at first and then disappeared suddenly.
"This is the 'missing friend'?" The gardener player asked a series of questions: "The 'missing friend' has been found. Are we clearing the level?"
"probably."
Except for Gao Yan and Chu Suibi who determined that the 'missing friend' refers to a family of six who had lived in the villa and then suddenly disappeared, other players are not quite sure about the identity of the 'missing friend'.
They suddenly thought of this, and fell silent.
Although the blond man and the thin man took the signature from the wooden house, they did not know Thai.
At this time, the short-haired girl said: "When we were cleaning the room before, we found a DV machine in the attic. The DV machine recorded a family of six in the villa, including the maid, but in the first forty minutes, When the adults in the video appear, they only have their lower bodies."
Everyone was surprised, but the contents of the DV machine could not prove that the family of six in front of them were 'missing friends'.
Gao Yan pointed out: "Who is filming?"
The players were stunned, yes, who is filming? Could it be that the person who posted the task was the one who filmed it
[Baby: My friends are gone, can you help me find them?]
The short-haired girl recited this sentence word by word, and then said: "I found the shooting angle to be very strange, I didn't understand it at first, but when I thought about the baby in this prompt, I suddenly thought that it might be a child shooting. , Because the height is not high enough, the video basically shows the legs walking back and forth."
The photographer is a child, and the baby should be a child, so the six corpses in front of him are the 'missing friends' that the baby is looking for.
Everyone was silent for a long time, and a deadly silence spread in the basement, and suddenly someone swallowed saliva and raised his hand tremblingly and said, "I saw a little girl in red, at the door of the log cabin not far from the villa. "
"She... is she the boss?"
Possibly, but not sure.
Gao Yan suddenly asked curiously, "How did they die?"
The players looked at him, and then at the six mummified corpses on the ground, silent.
They don't know how the mummy died, and they don't want to know at all. From the beginning, their purpose is to clear the level, and they don't care about the game background at all.
Chu Suibi was succinct: "I starved to death."
"How can you be sure?"
Gao Yan didn't look like they died of starvation. He was still meditating when he was found hidden in a cardboard box.
"You can tell by cutting open their stomachs to see if their stomachs have been eaten."
People who starve to death will eat their stomachs before they die.
"That's it." The dead are big.
Other players saw that they were at ease, and seemed to think that the six mummified corpses were the 'missing friends' they were looking for, and they couldn't help asking curiously, "Are you sure it's them?"
"Ah, sure."
Blonde foreign man: "Do you already know the background of the game?"
"It is."
Hiss - it's only two days! Did they investigate that much? !
It seems that I just walked around the town... Could there be more clues in the town? Easier to find clues
But isn't the place with the most clues in the center of the playground
What players don't know is that the game field is indeed the place with the most clues, but its clues point directly to the central clearance prompt rather than the game background.
The clues found outside the center of the game field are just to restore the game background, not the clues for customs clearance.
The blond foreign man was surprised: "We also went to the town yesterday to look for clues, but we only know that the wooden house is a Buddhist temple, and there are Yin signs in it to enshrine infant spirits. Why can't we find complete information like yours?"
Gao Yan: "..." Mom refused to answer.
Chu Suibi said softly, "Because you are not qualified mothers, Yingling doesn't like you."
Gao Yan suddenly turned his head and stared at Chu Laogou: "Don't say it!"
Fierce, like a beautiful little black panther.
Chu Suibi laughed softly and coaxed him quietly: "Okay, don't say it, the child is fucking."
increasingly impersonal.
- Gao Yan thought calmly.
The rest of the people didn't hear what Chu Suibi said just now. Seeing this scene, they felt a bit inexplicable and felt that a knife had been stabbed in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.
Gao Yan walked around the six mummified corpses on the ground, and finally stopped to look at the runes engraved all over the basement, and the statue of God Lahu in the shrine in the center.
"We found six mummified corpses at the same time. According to the rules, everyone can pass the level the same, and there is no difference between winning and losing."
The players didn't answer, but they knew he was right.
At this time, the competitive relationship between players is lifted, and there is no sharp sense of tit-for-tat.
Gao Yan: "But before the customs clearance, I still have something to do, I hope you can cooperate."
The player does not want to cooperate: "Why?"
Gao Yan thought about it for a while, and said, "For example, killing the trash man, or killing the ghosts who killed your teammates, and another example," his voice and eyes became very gentle: "Pit a garbage game. ."
"… "
"???" Big brother, what are you talking about
"!!!" So exciting to play? ! !
These words pierced the hearts of the players, stirred up the rebellious rebelliousness in their hearts, and stirred up their suppressed resentment towards the game.
The gardener player scratched his bald head and asked, "Will I be retaliated against?"
"Within the rules, how can Goubi Games use power for personal gain to retaliate against players?" Gao Yan spread his hands: "I am a civilized person and will not break the rules."
If you break the rules, you won't be rewarded. Does he look like a freelancer
"Okay, as long as you don't get revenge!" The gardener player was quite excited and eager to try.
The long-haired girl who died just now is someone in his team. As long as she can take revenge on the ghosts and the master in the game, she will be taking revenge for her teammates.
As for playing a game, I don't dare to think about it.
But being able to poke a hole is naturally very good.
Players only have to be killed by ghosts, how can they take revenge on ghosts
It was too late to hide, and I was played like a dog. I heard that I could take revenge and go back. Although I couldn't believe it, I was looking forward to it.
"Then... let's agree too."
The blond and the skinny player agree.
The short-haired woman shrugged: "I also hate the male host, he chirps in front of me every day, and thinks that I will die among the crows, I thought at the time, if I die, anyway, I will kill the male host. "
The tone is quite ruthless, and she is also a girl with a strong heart.
Gao Yan: "That's it, let me talk about the background of the game field first."
In the past two days, Gao Yan has completely combed the background of the game field. Now, let's start from the town a hundred years ago—
The residents of the town are all members of an unknown cult organization. They planned to build a corpse of thousands of babies, so they dug a huge pit in an open space in the town.
The crater resembles a sun symbol and is filled with abandoned babies, stillbirths or placentas.
When there were not enough stillbirths in the town, they brought them back from the outside, bag after bag of stillbirths in the garbage truck, and threw them into the pit. When the pit is full, it will be ignited and burned into ashes, which will be deposited layer by layer.
There is a flock of crows in the nearby woods, and the crows come to eat carrion, and they are full of brains.
The inhabitants of the town were passed down from generation to generation, and the crows were also passed down from generation to generation. It was not until the whole town became a sinister place that strange things happened one by one.
Players feel disgusting and perverted.
The short-haired woman was puzzled and asked curiously, "Why did the townspeople burn the stillbirth?"
"Because some cult organizations believe that babies bring evil and will hinder the cultivation of the world, and some people think that stillbirths have the strongest spiritual energy... The specific reasons cannot be tested, but they are self-righteous neurotic remarks."
Gao Yan hates the teachings of such cults. He has sorted out the information of the world's top ten cults before, and knows that some of the teachings will trample human lives just based on his own understanding.
Not only that, but it also encourages foolish people to kill their children or innocent children.
There have been dozens of cases where cult members beat their own children to death because the children interfered with their cultivation... So the collection and burning of infant corpses by the townspeople is a perverted behavior that normal people cannot understand.
Why bother with motives
It's all rubbish anyway.
The author has something to say: Su Jiang: Love is the easiest thing in the world - confession, rolling twice on the bed, O.
Cults are really crazy, those cultists... I really can't understand, I think that is a crazy crazy, even their own children can be beaten to death. A mother hacked her six-year-old child to death, saying that she was always disturbing her practice by making noises.
Anyway, I think these deceived congregants are also very annoying, bad and stupid, and they don't deserve sympathy at all.
