When Mo Yang returned to the hotel with smiles on his face holding seven ceramic kittens with different movements and expressions, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. At the door of the hotel, he and Wanmei met other players who had also come back from inquiring about the news. Different from Mo Yang's smiling face and Wan Mei's expressionless face, the expressions on the faces of these players are somewhat cautious. Apparently they must have discovered something this afternoon as well.
It may be because everyone has a sense of competition in their hearts. Except for the players who came together, almost no one actively communicates with others. Mo Yang saw that a player's face was quite ugly, and wanted to step forward to remind him, but before he passed, the player turned and left in advance.
Mo Yang: "..." Forget it, let's not mind our own business now. Tubes will not be accepted.
Mo Yang dragged Wan back to the room, and quickly finished soaking in the hot spring comfortably and brought back a lot of delicious food. Zhou Luoluo and Rose, Zhou Api and Captain Song all came back. The six of them gathered directly in Zhou Api's room, discussing the afternoon's harvest while eating.
Mo Yang first talked about the little boy's family and the stall owner found in the playground.
"I've never seen a parent who asks the child to say he's happy after the child fell. I've never seen something get caught and thank the stall owner. It's definitely not normal in this small town. Combined with Linlin's reminder And the system clearance evaluation, at least one thing is certain, in this small town, you can't say that you are 'unhappy'."
Zhou Luoluo ate a piece of rainbow cake and nodded again and again: "Brother Hei, you are right! Not only can't say 'unhappy', it seems that you have to say 'I am very happy' all the time to feel at ease. Me and Rose My sister went to the hot spring, which was a very comfortable and relaxing thing, but when I was in the bath, I suddenly saw a couple arguing. God, I can't believe the scene I saw!"
The expression on Zhou Luoluo's face was particularly tangled: "The husband couldn't control his eyes and always looked at the beautiful women in the hot spring. His wife was obviously very angry, but she kept laughing. In the end, the wife couldn't help it. When I went down, I slapped my husband on the face with a slap. I also said: 'You finally succeeded in letting me do it, aren't you happy?' I finally hit you too, I am very happy."
"Then, Brother Black, Brother Bai, Uncle Bao, what do you think?"
The Great Demon King Bai Wan ate cold fried cold noodles indifferently.
Captain Song twitched his lips: "Although that man deserved it, he should be angry if his wife beat him up in front of so many people, right?"
Zhou Luoluo shook her head vigorously, looking at Mo Yang with sparkling eyes.
The handsome black dog thought for a moment: "While smiling at each other, slapping each other's faces and scolding each other?"
Zhou Luoluo suddenly showed an expression of surprise: "Brother Hei, you are so powerful!! That's how it is! God, the husband and wife, you slap me and I slap you, their faces are already swollen from each other, and their mouths are swollen. The things that are said in the movie are all direct slaps, but they are still laughing! They are still saying 'I finally said this about you, I am so happy', 'I finally see your true colors, I I'm so happy'. If the staff didn't smile and stop me at the end, I doubt they would give up until one person fainted!"
Zhou Luoluo finally concluded: "I have never seen such a weird quarrel!"
Rose was eating the rose cake beside her but shook her head: "It's not weird, it's scary. You have to think, what kind of terrible thing can make the people in this town like this? Whether it's anger, sadness, sadness All emotions, depression, etc. must be expressed with 'happy'? Although 'happy', 'happy' and 'joy' are good words, but you can always only use 'happy', so it makes people feel a little bit happy, eh? "
Before Rose finished speaking, Mo Yang stretched out her long arm and stuffed a piece of chocolate. She widened her eyes, but saw the handsome man on the opposite side showing a smile: "A handsome guy like me feeds you chocolate himself, are you happy?"
After a short pause, Rose knew that Mo Yang didn't want her to say the five words "can't be happy". Obviously it feels good to be cared about, the big beauty laughed: "Indeed, I am very happy. I would be even happier if you didn't have a boyfriend."
Then this sentence successfully made Fatty Zhou and Captain Song cough for a while, and Zhou Luoluo bit his own cheek.
Yang Heicu's smile remained unchanged: "Then there is no other way, I have a boyfriend and I am very happy with my boyfriend." Saying this, he backhanded a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into the mouth of his boyfriend with fierce eyes.
Then the big devil gave a smile under the eyes of everyone: "I want to eat the grilled scallop ball in your hand."
Mo Yang ate one ball first, then gave the remaining two to Wan Mei. Wan Mei was also very satisfied: "Well, I'm very happy."
Zhou Api, Song Kefeng, Zhou Luoluo: "..." Don't dare to laugh at you just because you are an anatomy madman!
Rose didn't expect these two people to be so straightforward. She sighed and thought that the handsome guys that my mother likes are really handsome and have personality, what can she do? I can only smile and bless her, but it's a pity that she wears a humanoid｜skin mask, otherwise she might still be able to compete if she shows her real face
However, what she didn't know was that the two handsome men with their own merits on the opposite side were still wearing masks. The two faces under the mask will only look better than she thought.
In the end, Zhou Api, on behalf of their group, said some news found in the gourmet gift area.
"There are a total of 450 permanent residents in the entire town. These 450 people maintain the operation and services of the town in three areas. Basically, there are about 150 people in one area. The town There are not many children here, so there is only one small school. In addition, there is a hospital and a church in Happy Town. Brother Bao and I want to visit these three places, but outsiders are not allowed to enter the three places. I think there must be something tricky."
Song Kefeng nodded beside him and added: "While I was shopping, I saw a young idler in the town who just robbed a stall owner and left. Although the stall owner's face was very ugly at the time, he still smiled and said, 'Yes! He is very happy to help the poor'. But then there was a homeless man who wanted to come over, the stall owner kept staring at him, kicked the homeless man when he was about to do it, and laughed I said sorry and asked him if Gao was happy. The tramp left."
"It's a town full of fake smiles. It's not comfortable at all."
Mo Yang and the others all raised their heads to look at Captain Song. Song Kefeng was frightened by the look, and when he was about to say something, he was forcefully stuffed and pulled at the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Api, Zhou Luoluo, Rose, and Mo Yang took turns asking him if Gao was happy, which made Captain Song lose his temper at all, so he could only suppress the irritability in his heart and gritted his teeth and smirked: "I'm happy, I'm so happy!" died!"
Mo Yang finally concluded: "In short, we have found the problem in this town. But the key point is still missing. We don't know what the consequences will be if we are unhappy, and there are 450 people in the town. It is really difficult to find out the real sad people and those who create fear. Tomorrow, let’s continue to ask people in the small town to ask or observe. Since it is an escape and puzzle game, there must be The clues will come out on their own initiative tomorrow."
Everyone nodded, and when they had eaten and drank enough, they planned to take some action on their own and then take a rest.
Mo Yang planned to take Wanmei out for a walk to refresh himself, when he went downstairs, he saw a man laughing wildly at the door of the hotel, he was so dirty that he looked like a homeless man, that His black hair mostly covers his eyes, making him look a bit dour, but he has a big smile on his face.
He stood there clapping and laughing and sang:
"Are you happy? Are you happy? There's a smile on everyone's face lol,"
"I am happy, happy, joy blooms a bloody flower in my heart."
"Are you happy? Are you happy? Guilty flames dancing samba,"
"Everyone has a smile on their face, and you will be the next one to bloom!"
The song sounds like it has a special content, but before Mo Yang and the other players took any action, the hotel waiter had already chased the singing tramp away with a pale smile and a basket of food.
Mo Yang saw several players chased them out, he thought about it, but he still didn't go out in the end. If this homeless man is the key person, then they will definitely be able to see each other again in the next few days.
He walked to the front desk and asked the receptionist, who was also pale and stiff: "Who was that homeless man just now? Is he from the town too?"
The receptionist showed a standard smile: "Yes. Speaking of which, it is also his luck. Their family used to be a very wealthy family in our town, but one night their house suddenly caught fire, and the family of four and three people died. He was the only one left alive after being buried in the flames, but he went crazy after he survived, always singing such strange songs and begging for food everywhere. People in our town are kind and compassionate, so whoever meets him Just give him some food so he can survive."
Listening to the receptionist's words, Mo Yang frowned slightly: "Is this something to be happy about?"
The receptionist's smile paled for a moment. But soon he nodded and continued to laugh: "Yeah, he was lucky to survive. It's better to be alive than to be dead, isn't it? Besides, his family members went to heaven early, which is something to be happy about." .”
Mo Yang and the receptionist looked at each other until the receptionist's smile became more and more stiff, almost unable to sustain it.
"Oh, what's his name?"
The receptionist quickly replied, "It's Gorey."
Mo Yang nodded, no longer wanted to take a stroll, and went back to the room directly.
That night, everyone in the hotel didn't sleep very well. Even Mo Yang would not have slept well if he hadn't seen a certain research madman next to him researching with a leaf that he didn't know where he picked up. it is good. However, when he saw that the big devil was still pushing steadily, he followed suit. Why think so much? Anyway, it won't disappear out of thin air when you sleep in the middle of the night.
Then, the handsome black dog whirred and fell asleep.
Wan Mei studied all kinds of leaves pulled out on the road, small soil clods picked up, and even the wall skin that was dug out with a scalpel knife. When he turned his head, he saw that his pet dog was already sleeping soundly on the bed. The sleeping posture with his head bent almost ninety degrees and his back stretched all over made a glint of inquiry flash in his eyes.
Then, the next day when Yang Heiquan woke up, he felt inexplicably sore all over his body, as if he had slept in the most uncomfortable sleeping position last night. He turned his head and saw the research madman in the next bed lying on the bed straight, sleeping The standard posture is like a dead body.
Mo Yang: "..." Could it be my illusion
Mo Yang was rubbing his neck when screams of panic and shock suddenly sounded outside the door. After the screams, the disorderly footsteps woke Mo Yang up instantly. He threw off the quilt and jumped off the bed. He casually slapped the clean mask on the bedside on his face, and rushed out in his pajamas. At this time, Wan Mei on the next bed slowly opened his eyes.
Tsk, it's so noisy.
"What's going on?" When Mo Yang opened the door to check the situation, Rose, who was wearing a mask, and Song Kefeng, who hadn't put on a human|skin mask, also opened the door. Song Kefeng looked at Mo Yang first, and found that his clothes were messy but his face was still the same, he was relieved, he always felt that the face of the black cat police chief was fake, but in such an emergency, his The face has not changed, indicating that it should be true. That is, it feels like his face is getting bigger? Is it an illusion
"I don't know, it came from downstairs and the next room." Rose said.
Mo Yang went to the next door and knocked on the door: "What happened, do you need help?"
The door of the room was slammed open. The man who opened the door was the male player with yellow hair who took the initiative to talk to Mo Yang yesterday. His face was ugly at this time. Is your companion? As soon as I opened my eyes, he was out of bed."
Mo Yang thinks this should not make people scream in fear, right? He shook his head directly: "No. Maybe he went to morning exercise in the morning and hasn't come back yet?"
The yellow-haired guard wiped his face and opened the door: "It's impossible for him to go to morning exercises, you'll know when you come in and take a look."
Mo Yang paused for a moment, but still walked into the room, Song Kefeng and Mei Mei glanced at each other and quickly followed, Huang Mao didn't stop them. Then, they saw the bed with a slightly raised quilt and a few pieces of everyday clothes beside the bed.
Mo Yang frowned when he saw this bed, Song Kefeng only took a look and frowned: "This bed doesn't look like someone got out of bed."
The guard smiled wryly and nodded: "Yeah, I went to bed later than him last night, so I know that Laohou's bed is like this when he sleeps. Even the position of the clothes has not changed. But you see, I As soon as I opened my eyes and turned to look at him, his bed was empty. It was almost like…”
It was as if the person sleeping on the bed disappeared out of thin air.
The guard looked at the faces of the three of Mo Yang, and then added: "I think the same thing happened in the room where the screams and footsteps came from now, as in my room."
At this moment, the mechanical notification sound of the system sounded again.
[The system announced the next day. There are 33 existing players in Happy Town, and 17 players were eliminated last night. Players please keep working hard hehehe.]
The guard's face changed, and the exclamations and footsteps outside all stopped in unison. About five minutes later, someone came to the room where the guard and Mo Yang were.
The person who came was a male player wearing a blue sportswear, and he showed a very sunny and cheerful smile to the people in the room:
"Brothers, my eldest brother would like to invite everyone to have dinner together at the restaurant on the first floor. By the way, we will discuss the rules of the game and share our findings. See you at the restaurant on the first floor in ten minutes. I hope you can arrive on time! Of course, if you don't want to go We don't force it either."
After he finished speaking, he turned and went to the next room. Huang Mao looked at the three of Mo Yang and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Guard, you can just call me Guard or Lao Wei. I plan to listen to their findings .”
Mo Yang also nodded: "You can call me Xiao Hei or Black Dog, these are Rose and Xie Zhi."
Song Kefeng still didn't forget to joke with himself, "You can call me Lao Bao, my idol is Master Bao."
Guard: "Uh. Okay." Your names sound so random.
Afterwards, Mo Yang, Song Kefeng, and Mei Mei left, each responsible for pulling up the cohabitants who were lucky enough not to disappear. Ten minutes later, they showed up at the restaurant on the first floor on time. After a quick glance, Mo Yang was sure that the remaining thirty-three players from Happy Town had already sat down here.
Standing in the middle of the crowd was a male player with a stern face and glasses who looked like an elite scholar. He glanced at the people around him, pushed his glasses, and said without saying a word:
"Seventeen people disappeared last night. Among the seventeen people, I know that seven people directly said the four words 'I'm not happy' with an unhappy expression. Including the one who was first told by the residents of the small town that he would not survive a day Players. Then I would like to ask, among the remaining ten people, did anyone hear or see them say those four words? If so, please raise your hand. Then, who said those four words , but it didn’t disappear, can you raise your hand? This may verify a key point that I guess is very important for survival in a small town.”
Everyone looked at each other, but no one raised their hands directly.
Then, a thick palm was suddenly stretched out. Everyone quickly looked over, and saw a man with curly hair and a naturally decadent and handsome face? The uncle happily said:
"I'll give our army division a head start. I said yesterday 'I'm not happy, I need to be hugged to get up'. But, I'm fine. This is really happy."
Everyone: "..." I never thought that those words could sound so chilling.
However, as soon as the head opened, two more people raised their hands. The expressions of these two people were full of inexplicable fear.
"I said it too. I should be fine, right?"
