He Meng couldn't hold back the play, and recalled the required number of players in this secret room with the hypergame thinking that players shouldn't have.
It was indeed five people.
That is the problem-solving idea is wrong? It shouldn't be...
While they were thinking, a man dressed in the same style rushed in from the ancestral hall accompanied by the same sound effect that frightened them before.
"Ah, ah, help, oh my god!" The visitor hugged his head and screamed as soon as he rushed into the ancestral hall, he squatted in the corner, people and animals trembling harmlessly, and he didn't even see anyone else in the ancestral hall.
Several players in the ancestral hall were also taken aback, but after the lights were restored and the sound outside stopped, everyone still went forward to inquire about the situation.
"I... I'm Miss Wan's cousin. They don't allow me to come because they are afraid that my family will be affected, but Wan Wan died for no apparent reason, so I can't just sit idly by." Although the pale handsome boy was afraid, his eyes were very firm: "They wouldn't let me in. I sneaked in by climbing over the wall at night. I didn't expect... the night in Lin's house is so scary now."
He hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts: "But this is not Wanwan's style, Wanwan would not be so cruel to me. There must be something else strange about it."
So there are NPCs, He Meng thought.
So He Qiutang, the cousin of the new NPC Miss Wan, joined the player's exploration team, and all six of them were involved in the puzzle-solving task.
While solving the riddle, the ancestral hall became dark again, the night was deep, and there was a crisp bell sound from outside the house.
Jingle bell... jingle bell...
As the sound of the bell approached, the corridor lit up with flickering red lights, and a woman's figure suddenly appeared outside the door, smiling, "There will be no one in the ancestral hall, right?"
She casually patted and called: "Third brother, senior, grandma..."
When she called out "cousin", He Qiutang couldn't help but responded loudly: "Wanwan! Wanwan! Tell me what's wrong with you, Wanwan!"
"Cousin? What's wrong with me?"
The woman outside the door seemed to be aroused by some memories: "What's wrong with me... yeah, what's wrong with me... What's wrong with me?! Hahahahaha, go ask them! What's wrong with me!"
There was a sudden sound of wind and rain outside the door, and the bells, which had never been in a hurry, became hurried and rang together.
The woman rushed to the door of the ancestral hall at once.
She tried to push, but the ancestral hall seemed to have an inexplicable force to stop her, and she couldn't come in. The woman's voice changed, as if crying and complaining: "Cousin, I died so badly, you didn't see me, did you, cousin? Come out and meet me! Cousin!"
He Qiutang's fist clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again: "Wan Wan!"
Xu Xu and Liu Zhe, who were beside him in a panic, hurriedly held up the NPC who entered the scene, "Can't open the door!"
He Meng's accent changed in a hurry: "Big brother, this door is not open!"
The woman outside the door became angry because she couldn't see the door to enter. At this time, all the lights in the ancestral hall were extinguished, only the portraits hanging on the surrounding walls glowed with green light.
"The mission has begun!" He Meng exclaimed.
Several people hurriedly followed the previous assignment, and each rushed to the portrait in charge of them.
In the hazy green light, the candle in front of the portrait faintly lit up red.
"Blow!"
Lu Ke quickly blew out a breath and blew out the candle in front of him.
The temple was once again plunged into darkness.
Then the candle in front of Xu Jianan lit up. Xu Jianan also reacted quickly, but it was completed in an instant.
As time passed, the candles lit up faster and faster, and almost everyone moved their faces forward as much as possible, blowing their breath, and completely focused on the candles in front of them.
At this time, there was a sudden burst of green light, and all the portraits fell instantly, revealing a face with a strange smile and blood dripping from the eyes behind the portrait.
"Ahhh!"
"Fuck, shit, shit!"
The howling of ghosts and wolves rang out in the ancestral hall.
Fortunately, within a second or two, the portrait returned to normal.
After the lights of the ancestral hall were turned on again, everyone was still in shock, looked at each other, looked at each other's pale faces, silently decided to forget everything they said before entering the secret room, and never said anything about it again.
The plot is still advancing, and NPC He Qiutang left halfway to do a single-line mission, but soon returned to the team to continue. When he came back, he gave Xu Xu a friendly smile.
Until the end of the secret room, on Miss Wan's embroidered building, the players watched a wonderful performance of the plot.
Miss Wan and her cousin He Qiutang were originally childhood sweethearts and fell in love with each other. It's a pity that Miss Wan went to a Western-style school and heard about the medical theory that inbreeding is not good. Although she was still in love emotionally, she alienated her cousin from then on.
He Qiutang, who has always been influenced by the old-fashioned culture, couldn't accept it and fell ill. During his illness, he learned that Miss Wan had agreed to marry the son of the Jiang family for the sake of the Lin family and the town where he lived.
He Qiutang dragged his sick body to the door and begged Miss Wan not to marry him.
Miss Wan sighed: "Cousin, this is the end of the matter, my own feelings and marriage are not important, I am from the Lin family, I want to do my best. This is my responsibility, what I should do .”
"Fart!" He Qiutang's eyes were tearing: "What responsibility requires you, a little girl, to make sacrifices for this? What about the others?"
"But they don't want anyone else!" Miss Wan pushed He Qiutang out with tears in her eyes: "From now on, I will be the young wife of the Jiang family. Cousin, don't come to the Lin family again!"
He Qiutang, who hated himself for being a useless scholar, was depressed, and his condition worsened when he returned that day, and he died of depression within a few days.
No one would have told Miss Wan this news, but she still knew about it before she got married.
On the eve of the wedding, the elder brother, the third young master, brought a package packed in soft clothes and persuaded his sister to run away: "Young Master Jiang is dead, and it would be best if you marry as a widow. What to do? I heard that the young master of the Jiang family has not been buried yet, so it will be a disaster for you to marry in the past! While there is still some time, you should run away quickly."
"If I run away, what will the Lin family do?"
"I will arrange someone to get you into the sedan chair. Don't worry about the rest. Tonight, I have arranged for the guards at the west gate. I will invite him to drink. You can take this opportunity to escape through the west gate. Don't stay after you go out. Go west. I will let the carriage of the family wait for you in the west of Zhenxi."
"Brother..." Miss Wan burst into tears, a little shaken.
After repeatedly instructing his sister, the third young master left.
But soon, the fourth young master came. Because he wanted to marry Miss Wan forcibly, the fourth young master was broken by the Jiang family to threaten the Lin family, and he is still limping. Dare not to hate the Jiang family, but the fourth young master hated Miss Wan instead.
He told Miss Wan to get ready to get married in a weird way, and not to think about other tricks: "After all, your good brother, the young master Qiutang from the He family, is dead. Even if you run away, you have nowhere to go, and no one wants you... "
"As an older brother, I just can't bear the pain of you going to the Jiang family in pieces." The fourth young master took out a bag of poison: "When you get married, why don't you just die, it's better than being a widow. Isn't it? This is the only thing I can do for you as an older brother."
The Fourth Young Master didn't have any good intentions, he thought that Miss Wan was always smart and strong, maybe he would use poison to kill Marshal Jiang, and then his revenge would be considered revenge. As for whether Miss Wan, who poisoned Marshal Jiang to death, would survive, he never considered.
But no one expected it. Miss Wan thought it was her heartlessness that caused her cousin to die in despair. In addition, she was about to marry a dead man. No matter how smart and strong Miss Wan was, she was just a young girl. With a full set of wedding dresses, she decided to obey her own will and marry her true sweetheart.
So she wrote He Qiutang's famous post and put it together with her own. After worshiping heaven and earth with He Qiutang's name, she took poison and committed suicide, leaving only a suicide note in which she was willing to die for the young master of the Jiang family, and let the third young master take it. Go to Dashuai Jiang on a mission, lest the Lin family be angered.
At this point in the plot, the ghosts of the young master Jiang and He Qiutang took revenge on the Lin family angrily. He Qiutang attacked all those who persecuted Miss Wan, while the young master Jiang attacked indiscriminately. Miss Wan tried her best to barely protect her grandmother and brother, and this is the story of the players coming to find out the truth.
At the end of the story, several strong men looked at the ghosts of He Qiutang and Miss Wan wearing fiery red dresses and smiled at each other, expressing emotion one after another, only Xu Xu broke into a cold sweat at the end of the crowd.
He Qiutang's NPC is paying homage to Miss Wan's NPC up there, so who the f*ck is this He Qiutang next to me who came back from the one-line quest
Xu Xu turned his head to look, and the little brother next to him slowly smiled at Xu Xu, as if to say: Ah, you finally found out
