After hearing this conjecture, everyone was dumbfounded.
Even the male writer couldn't help but glance at Ye Xu with a complicated expression. Ye Xu didn't quite understand the meaning of his eyes, shouldn't he be praised for his wit? He found a blind spot!
As a result, the little friend did praise him in private chat, but what he praised was: "The skin is still your skin."
Ye Xu: "???" Why is he so skinny
"You scare players like this, isn't it considered skinny?"
Ye Xu: "... I didn't scare them." He was serious, okay, not talking nonsense.
But my friend couldn't understand: "Player can't become a ghost, so the 'ghost' of those two players doesn't exist."
But Ye Xu didn't think so.
It's true that players can't become ghosts, but that doesn't mean ghosts can't pretend. After killing two players, there will be two corresponding awakened ones who can pack up and go home? Ye Xu thinks that's not the case, otherwise this dungeon would end too soon for the awakened ones.
More likely, the two corresponding ghosts disappeared, but the new player ghost reappeared. The awakened ones could use the player's face before, and they can continue to use it later, without even changing it, they can directly cosplay the player's ghost, how convenient.
When the male writer heard it, he thought it made sense, why didn't he think of it.
Ye Xu's conjecture was very well accepted among the players. Not only did they feel in danger, but they even began to wonder if they would become ghosts and stay behind if they died in this dungeon.
It's really hard to say whether it's better to be wiped out directly, or it's better to stay as a ghost.
The atmosphere became tense for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, everyone had to go back to the castle and eat dinner first.
Dinner here is eaten early, and the dishes are on the table before it gets dark. When they finished eating, the sky was only faintly darkened.
The NPC cook quickly finished washing the dishes, she didn't dare to stay for a moment, and left directly, just like some man-eating monster in the old castle. Everyone looked at her back silently, and if it wasn't for the air wall blocking them, they would have wanted to follow her.
"Let's all go back to the house." The male writer stood up first.
At night, of course, the house is safer. At the very least, it can give players a sense of security.
Everyone is no longer Xiaomeng Xin, so there will naturally be some guesses about the current situation. For example, the two new ghosts, according to experience, as long as they don't run out at night, the two ghosts should not be able to enter the room to trouble them. In this way, they only need to face one ghost instead of two or three ghosts.
Ye Xu went back to the house resolutely, and then went straight to bed. I already talked to the awakened ones yesterday, and I believe they will not persevere and come here again. As for the other awakened ones, they can communicate with each other, so there should be no need for Ye Xu to say anything more.
As it turned out, the night was indeed peaceful. Except for the occasional screams coming from all directions, Ye Xu was quite satisfied.
When I went out in the morning, I met the energetic male writer. The two looked at each other, then quickly adjusted their state and started to show off their acting skills.
The state of the players today is worse than yesterday, and the number of players has dropped sharply from the previous eight to five. It was better than Ye Xu imagined, he thought more people would die.
Female students, male entrepreneurs, and players in pale yellow floral dresses did not go downstairs, so it was probably bad luck. After everyone quickly finished their breakfast, they went upstairs to check the situation.
It was still the same scene as yesterday, the difference was that the numbers at hand had changed this time. Female students have numbers 2 and 3, girls in floral skirts have numbers 2 and 2, and male entrepreneurs have numbers 3 and 3.
According to Ye Xu's speculation, the first number is the remaining number of men and women. There are 2 left in the women's team and 3 in the men's team. They match. The second number is the remaining number of occupational groups. There are 3 people left in the occupational group where female students and entrepreneurs belong, and only 2 people left in the non-professional group where floral skirts belong to. There is also no error.
From this point of view, this grouping must have a major effect, and it does not seem to be a good effect.
"There are only two people left in the women's group and the non-professional group." Everyone immediately became vigilant.
As the ponytailed Lu Ling who is both female and belongs to the non-professional group, she instantly became the object of protection of everyone. In order to avoid any bad things from happening again, everyone decided to act together and not to be separated this time.
Lu Ling is not used to it, but this is not the time to be hypocritical, she obediently stays in everyone's protective circle, trying her best to ensure her own safety.
"There are only two rooms in the attic that I haven't seen. Shall we go and see them?"
Before, they turned over all the rooms in the castle, except the attic. One is because places like the attic are usually places where horror stories frequently occur, and they are inherently gloomy, so no one wants to come; the other is because the locks in the attic are more difficult to open than ordinary door locks, and people subconsciously don’t want to go there. Toss it.
Now there is no way out, they can only go to find out.
There are no lights in the attic, and there is only one small window, which is opened at a very high position. The projected light was so dim that it was difficult to see clearly.
Fortunately, everyone brought a lot of flashlights.
In this quiet atmosphere, there is a strange sense of excitement. Ye Xu couldn't help his heart beating faster, he looked around vigilantly, and always felt that this exploration journey would not be particularly safe.
As they stepped on the top floor, they heard a creak, as if some door had opened.
"What is it?" The female dancer immediately became nervous and couldn't help but cling to Lu Ling, seeking comfort.
Lu Ling couldn't tell either, she was standing in the middle of the line, she was a bit short and couldn't see the surroundings. On the contrary, the leading male writer said calmly: "Nothing happened, don't be afraid."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard him say again: "It's just that the door of the attic opened a crack."
Everyone: "!!!"
How can this kind of thing be used? ! How serious is this! The door opened by itself, it must have been done by a ghost, the ghost must have no good intentions!
Ye Xu also felt that this little friend of his was really bad, and was about to condemn this guy with a bad conscience in a private chat, when he was suddenly patted lightly on the shoulder.
In this kind of environment, if you are suddenly patted on the shoulder, the first reaction is definitely not "Why are you slapping me, brother behind", but "I am Cao, I, Cao, I Cao, is it a ghost who is patting me?"
Ye Xu was so frightened that he almost flew out of his wits, especially when he realized that he was the last one walking.
"Big brother, you can't do that, can you?" The ghost was also very helpless, he whispered to Ye Xu quietly, "I just slapped you, and I didn't intentionally scare you, why do you keep making small light spots? Don't you Awakened? You know that ghosts are disguised by your own people, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Ye Xu was also devastated: "Brother, don't people who are scared out of going to a haunted house know that ghosts are disguised by people?"
Awakened: "..." That's exactly what you said.
But he came to look for Ye Xu, naturally not to talk nonsense. And he deliberately separated Ye Xu from other people, so that those people would not see Ye Xu having a good time talking with ghosts.
But the consequence of the isolation is that when the players turned around, they found that Ye Xu was gone.
This made the terrified players suddenly feel that the whole person is not good, and a little friend has fallen behind while walking. In the horror scene, it must be more or less ominous. A ghost opened the door on its own initiative, and a companion disappeared inexplicably. I always feel that no matter where I go, I will face the ghost directly.
But Ye Xu felt pretty good right now, because the awakened one really didn't intend to scare him on purpose. Not only did he not intend to, but he also ran over to message him: "Of the two attics, one is relatively safe but there is nothing there, and the other is dangerous but worth visiting. We specially opened the one worth visiting for you, you Just go in directly. Don’t go into the other room, there’s nothing to see inside.”
Ye Xu nodded, expressing his understanding.
The awakened ones said it was worth going, which meant that there must be good things in this attic. Ye Xu was satisfied with this news, and didn't add any more news. No need, if you really want to know, he just bought the detailed strategy, why bother.
So he bid farewell to the brother and returned to his normal attic space.
The sudden appearance of Ye Xu startled the female dancer, she screamed and backed away from him again and again: "You are a human or a ghost!"
Ye Xu was taken aback for a moment, probably knowing what happened. But in order not to be exposed, he could only look at her inexplicably: "What's wrong with you?"
"You just disappeared." Both the cowboy man and Lu Ling looked at him with complicated expressions, "We are sure that we are not dazzled, everyone has seen it."
Ye Xu shook his head: "I don't know, I've been following you all along, and nothing happened except the door opened automatically along the way."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and said nothing, but instinctively became vigilant.
Generally, in a horror scene, if some abnormal situation occurs to teammates, you must not ignore it as nothing happened. The cannon fodder of many horror movies has been proved by life, and the teammates and ghosts who have problems can basically be equated.
They are not Xiaomengxin, and they will not make such mistakes.
Ye Xu was also very helpless, so he could only pretend that nothing happened and continue to hang out with everyone.
"Let's talk about his matter later." The male writer gave Ye Xu a cover, "The current situation is, do we want to go in? Only one door opened on its own initiative, but it was too dark inside, and we couldn't see anything. It's not clear. Is it safe? The other door is closed and we need to open it ourselves."
"What is this?" Just when everyone was struggling, the cowboy found something.
He saw a sign hanging on the wall, covered with dust. After wiping off the dust, the words on it were revealed—you can only choose one attic to enter.
"This..." is to kill the difficulty of choice!
The female dancer immediately exploded: "Why are you still doing this! It's too much! And the ghost opened a door for us on its own initiative, so is it inviting you into the urn or deliberately confusing the public? Is the door it opened safe? Still dangerous?!"
Ye Xu gave her a sympathetic look, but he couldn't tell her that the ghost opened the door not to make things difficult for them, but to open a back door for him and the male writer, that's all.
