What a creepy and natural development, just like countless horror stories, whenever the protagonist finds new clues and goes to ask the insider, the personal safety of the insider is extremely insecure.
"Hey, what a mess." Dr. Lu bared his teeth.
"Wake up everyone, immediately, to see who is not in his room!" Qi Leren said decisively.
The three of them did not dare to split up in this situation where people were missing one after another. This polar village surrounds the church, and the area within the range of the laser net is roughly a circle. They searched all the way in a clockwise direction, and the first room was Annie's house. Annie coldly rejected the proposal to help : "I'm very tired and need to rest. Let's talk about something after you find Mark."
After speaking, she actually closed the door directly.
Closer to Annie's house are Qile people's house and Laura's house. Laura immediately joined their team when she heard about it, and said: "Let's go in groups of two, let's notify each other, and let everyone arrive The church is assembled, and we will allocate how to find people."
"Three people are missing now, it may not be safe to team up with two people," Qi Leren said.
"Okay then, let's go together." Laura didn't insist on her own opinion, but followed them to the next house where people lived.
Laura lived relatively close to Dr. Lu and Du Yue, and Jing Siyu's house. The four of them knocked on the door and learned that Jing Siyu had woken up, but because she fell into the basement and hit her head, her brain is now The sequelae of the concussion were more serious, and she had nausea and vomiting all the time. Jing Sixue was worried about her, but agreed to lock the doors and windows tightly, and did not join the search team.
Next is the house of Francis and Jing Siyu. These two huts are at the southernmost part of the village. Francis has already fallen asleep. After being woken up, he didn’t complain. Instead, he asked about Laura’s situation with concern. Laura smiled at him She smiled and took his hand quietly: "I'm fine."
I have already made a big circle and returned to the west of the village. This is the hut where He Yi, Janet, Alex and Mark lived. When I knocked on Janet's house, Alex was there.
"Why are you here?" Francis asked.
"Hey, buddy, it's none of your business, I'm not in Laura's house." Alex said bluntly.
Janet burst out laughing, raised her eyebrows and looked at Alex: "Honey, we should first ask them what a group of people are doing when they rush in aggressively?"
"Xue Jiahui is missing, and there are traces of a fight in the house." Qi Leren said concisely, "The distance between you is relatively close, did you hear any movement from her room?"
"No, I only heard the whistling cold wind, and didn't hear any fighting sounds." Janet laughed again, poked Alex with her elbow, and teased, "Maybe it's Love has covered my ears."
"Then it must have covered me too." Alex said sincerely.
The two laughed loudly, indifferent to Xue Jiahui's disappearance. Everyone can see that the two are "in love". Although it is very common to hype a relationship on reality TV shows to gain attention, Janet and Alex obviously do not intend to hype in a positive direction. In this interstellar era, it is no longer an era that requires stars to be "tall and complete", but to emphasize everyone's "personality", whether it is friendly, mean, smart, stupid, team spirit, solitary... There will always be people chasing you different. As long as you are topical, whether it is praise or abuse, it is better than mediocrity. It's like in this reality show, if someone suddenly jumps out and beats everyone up, he will undoubtedly become the "best of the day" of the day, because he is out of the ordinary.
The attitude of these two people was extremely careless, which made people feel annoyed. Francis said in a deep voice, "Enough is enough, three people are missing now, you should at least show some basic sympathy and concern, instead of cynicism here!"
"Hmm, dear Francis, haven't you understood yet? All of this is the director's script. Most of us do not have any scripts, but He Yi, I bet that guy must have been instructed by the director. By the way Spoiler for a piece of gossip, He Yi is a distant relative of the director, from the same family, both surnamed He. Do you understand now?" Janet blinked at him, and said mockingly, "And Annie, a At the beginning, she sang with He Yiyi and brought up the topic of extinction of civilization. Do you think this is a casual statement? Annie intimidated us inexplicably, is it really because she can’t wait to preach to us? Don’t be kidding, she just I'm just reading the script. Think about who Annie has the best relationship with? Well, Mark, right? So it happened that he and He Yi played disappearance together, which made us panic. Oh, and that Xue Jiahui, I guess her hand There is also a script in it, if it's not for her acting skills, I can only say, Miss Xue, you should find more boyfriends with that bitch look she wished she could climb onto He Yi's bed."
In the dead silence, Janet took the arm of her freshly-baked boyfriend Alex, and waved to several people with a smile: "I hope you find these three outstanding actors as soon as possible. I have been with you for an afternoon. Now I'm going to continue our night life, good night."
With that, she closed the door.
People from Qi Le took a new look at this woman who acted like a big-breasted, brainless and Drama queen from the very beginning. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated this woman before. Janet was not stupid, on the contrary, she was very smart. She used a Reasonable reasons explain the disappearance of the three people—He Yi, Mark, and Xue Jiahui. They disappeared according to the requirements of the script, and even these three people may have some kind of channel to communicate with the program group, and develop the plot according to the requirements of the program group , to create some tension for this survival show.
This explanation is so reasonable, if Qi Leren didn't know what kind of horror game copy he was in, he would almost be convinced. For example, Laura, after a short shock, she started talking with Francis in a low voice.
"When the director talked with me about cooperation, I once asked him about it. He made it clear that there is no script for this survival reality show, and there are no default actors. What kind of story will be deduced in seven days." Laura said.
Francis frowned and said: "Well, that's what he told me. But I wouldn't be surprised if any of us actually got the 'script'. After all, someone has to control the rhythm of the show so that it doesn't Running too far."
Qi Leren sank into thinking, and his eyes extended along the cleared snow-free passage at Xue Jiahui's door. This passage was swept all the way to the location of the church. It was a group of them in the afternoon for convenience. Trip out to clean it up. It was already close to zero at this time, but the polar village in the polar day period was still bright. The cold light shone on the stone church, and reflected brilliant light on the broken but colorful glass.
This picture made him think a lot. For a moment, he thought that this place was the Neverland in the ice and snow—although he had never been there, but the holy land that was always snowed and snowed carried so many imaginations and regrets in him, that even this The rote resemblance makes the longing in my heart surge.
Even though he always deliberately avoided missing, he was still easily drawn into that gentle undercurrent.
"... Qi Leren, what do you think?" Laura who was discussing looked up at Qi Leren.
Qi Leren, who was suddenly named, came back to his senses, and said after a beat: "Is it the script that we can't verify now, but what if it's not? Or, even if there is a script, what happened is still derailed? We signed the script." The contract may be life-threatening, how can we ensure that the missing people are safe now?"
Dr. Lu also nodded: "Yes, so let's continue looking for someone."
Du Yue said sullenly: "Where do we start?"
"Don't worry, let's go to Xue Jiahui's house and take a look." Laura said, she and Francis hadn't seen the scene yet.
Qi Leren nodded in agreement, so they walked towards Xue Jiahui's room together.
Originally, there were thirteen of them. After He Yi, Mark and Xue Jiahui disappeared one after another, there were only ten people left. The Jing sisters did not come, Alex and Jenny did not participate, and Annie was also there, so there were only ten people left. There are five of them.
The advantage of having fewer people and fewer people is that things will not be messed up when discussing things. Laura is a courageous and meticulous woman. She glanced at Xue Jiahui's room and said, "It seems that they had a physical conflict, but it ended quickly. Otherwise, if Xue Jiahui yelled for help, people nearby should be able to hear it."
"Is it possible that she is still in this room and has not been taken away?" Qi Leren asked again, remembering the suspicion in the basement.
"It's unlikely. Think about it. This is Xue Jiahui's room. An outsider entered her room and knocked her out, but they didn't take her away. Instead, they knew that there was a basement inside to hide her. In it, there is a problem logically. Well... Of course I don't rule out... Xue Jiahui is in collusion with someone here." Laura is obviously still influenced by Janet's conspiracy theory.
"Motive?" Francis asked a question.
Laura pursed her lips: "I don't know, it's impossible for someone to make some big news and clean us up one by one, right?"
Dr. Lu groaned in despair: "Don't talk about such a terrible topic. The serial murder case in Blizzard Villa is too old-fashioned."
Laura smiled: "It's old-fashioned because it's classic enough. Think about it, this is a classic horror novel routine that has been popular since before the era of the big universe."
— No, I don't care at all whether it is a classic or not, I only care that your behavior of inserting flags has seriously lowered our survival rate! Dr. Lu almost had complaints written all over his face, and Qi Leren couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Laura walked out of Xue Jiahui's hut, looked at the cleared path leading to the church on the ground and said, "Let's talk about it from another angle. First of all, the person who attacked Xue Jiahui must be one of the contestants, because in this village There was no one else; secondly, Xue Jiahui was probably taken away from the house and hid somewhere, and the perpetrator should be a strong man, otherwise he would not be able to take Xue Jiahui away; thirdly , the places where Xue Jiahui may be now are very limited, and we can even rule them out one by one. Come on, let's follow this cleared path and see if the perpetrator deviates from this cleared path, he will definitely be there. His footprints were left on the snow. If there are no footprints, it means that he hid Xue Jiahui in a hut that also cleared the road. The hut that cleared the road this afternoon is only the five of us, plus Alex. Kex, Janet and Xue Jiahui, yes, only eight of us have cleared the road."
