Chapter 107 Another Skeleton
Chapter 107 Another Skeleton
When they went to the cafeteria for dinner, no one was there. There was a pot of fish soup and some meals that were picked out separately. Ren Ran was still thinking about why the other players finished eating so quickly at this time of day, so he remembered last night Collectively cold five.
Xie Wenyi didn't eat fish, so he sat down and served Ren Ran with a bowl of fish soup.
"I've known you for so long, only to realize that you are picky eaters." Ren Ran's habit of not being picky eaters was forcibly formed by his parents since he was a child.
"People always have likes and dislikes, don't force yourself, Gu Congsu is picky eater, he doesn't like sweets very much, he hates chocolate the most, and he told you that he is afraid of water, so he still can't swim." Xie Wenyi said.
Ren Ran said that the skill is get, and it can be used by Gu Congsu in the future.
"Speaking of business, if Yunxiu isn't the key, then I guess accidents may continue tonight, and this time it should be our turn." What sounded unpleasant came out of Xie Wenyi's mouth, but it seemed surprisingly relaxed .
"See what you can do. Tomorrow is the time limit. We don't have much time." Ren Ran took a sip of the fish soup and frowned, "It's too fishy. Uncle Liu said that the fish caught by Uncle Fifth is particularly plump. Can I say it is worse than our school cafeteria?"
"I'll make it for you when we go out." Xie Wenyi smiled and gently pinched the tip of his ear.
"Don't you not eat fish? If you don't eat, you can still cook?" Ren Ran patted his dishonest hand, and a wonderful red color began to pop up from the base of his ears.
"You can learn it. Let's do an experiment with Gu Congsu first."
"Seriously, honey, every time I enter the copy, I have the illusion that we are just dating in another place."
"It's still a different scene, and we dug a grave together today."
This love story is indeed quite wonderful.
"Have you had fish soup?" Chunsheng walked into the cafeteria, he was going to clear the table.
"Yeah, what's the matter? We came back late, and you specially left us a meal, thank you very much." Xie Wenyi said.
Chunsheng's expression was a little pale. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "It's nothing. The fish soup will become fishy when it cools down. You should call me before you eat, and I'll warm it up for you."
"Don't bother, we are not that particular." Ren Ran said.
"There are still some steamed buns in the kitchen. The one who lives with you hasn't eaten anything. He has stayed in the room all day. If he is hungry at night, remember to go to the kitchen to get something to eat." Chunsheng packed up the dishes and went out.
"Ren Ran, do you smell anything?" Xie Wenyi looked at Chunsheng's disappearing back.
"No, what do you want to say?"
"The smell of earth."
"We have it too. We stayed in the cemetery for so long in the afternoon. The weather here is very humid, and the forest smells like earth. We'll just change our clothes later."
"When Chunsheng passed me just now, he also had this smell on him."
At ten o'clock, the two of them took turns to take a shower. When Ren Ran brushed his hair and went back to the room, Pan Sheng was lowering his head to do a question. The number of pages was exactly the same as when Ren Ran left to take a shower.
"Aren't you going? If you don't go, there will be no water." Ren Ran said.
Every day, Pan Sheng would rush to take a shower first, and then hold his books all night. Today, after they returned to their room after eating, he remained motionless. Let them wash first.
"Oh, really?"
Pan Sheng looked absent-minded, Ren Ran felt that he was still frightened by what happened yesterday, and he didn't know how long he hid under the bed today before crawling out.
"Yes, it's very late, if you want to go, go quickly."
"Okay." Pan Sheng took a change of clothes from the cabinet, walked to the door, and did not forget to turn around and say: "This time I will be the first, and I will definitely wait until this day."
Ren Ran really admires that when he is facing life and death, his mind is still the so-called No.1. In terms of the persistence of a top student, this Pan Sheng has achieved the ultimate.
"He must be crazy." Ren Ran said incredulously, fell back and lay on the bed.
"Too persistent will make you fall into the unfathomable inner demon." Xie Wenyi said.
His tone was very calm, as if he was familiar with such people and things.
"What about you, have you ever been particularly attached to something?"
"Have."
"what?"
"you guess."
Ren Ran kind of understood what Xie Wenyi was talking about, he got up and walked to the door, turned around and said with a smile: "I'm going to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, I don't know if this fish soup has MSG, my mouth is very dry, wait for me Come back for your answer."
The moonlight cast a thin shadow on Xie Wenyi's handsome and delicate face through the paper window, and his dark pupils were covered with hazy moonlight.
He is a man who can be seen through but not understood.
Xie Wenyi's face in front of him gradually blurred, and the most incomprehensible eyes gradually disappeared. After everything became clear, Ren Ran saw a woman standing in the middle of the room.
She is very thin, wearing an old and yellowed floral jacket, she has a very delicate face, her hair tied in two bundles hangs down in front, and she looks at Ren Ran with big watery eyes and a smile.
Where did Xie Wenyi go?
For a moment when Ren Ran was in a trance, a smell of damp and fishy soil filled his whole brain, and the woman in front of him disappeared.
In the next second, he faced this woman directly in front of him. She no longer had her hair tied up, and she no longer had a beautiful and delicate face. At this moment, she lowered her head slightly, and her loose black hair covered her entire face. .
"You are Yunxiu..."
The sound from Ren Ran's throat turned into an odd grunt.
Yunxiu approached him, a coolness spread from her body, she stretched out her pale fingers and slowly brushed away the hair on both sides, it was a face dripping with blood.
He couldn't see the delicate and pretty face, only the face so bloody and bloody that he couldn't recognize the facial features, there was a bang in Ren Ran's mind, fuck, did he get tricked?
And he instinctively reached out to tear the shattered face in front of him, the tentacles felt wet to the touch, and the bloody smell seemed to emanate from her own body, the face in front of him began to melt away, blood mixed with everything Muscle dripped down the ground bit by bit, the woman was rotting.
Suddenly, there was a stabbing pain in the back of the neck, and the whole room disappeared.
When Ren Ran woke up, he was lying on his back on the bed, the moment the moonlight shone directly into his pupils, he raised his hand to cover the dazzling light, he suddenly understood what happened just now, and touched his face in a panic.
"It's not disfigured, it's just a little short." Xie Wenyi handed him a glass of warm water, "However, I also like disfigured."
This is not the point. . .
"Are you all right?"
"No."
Ren Ran grabbed Xie Wenyi's wrist, there were obviously a few bright red blood marks there, but it was not serious.
"Did I scratch you?" Ren Ran grabbed his hand and didn't let go.
Xie Wenyi naturally covered it, and said, "It's just a small injury. Fortunately, I soon found out that something was wrong with you. I made you dizzy. I'm sorry."
Ren Ran didn't feel a particularly painful headache, and thought that hitting someone with a stool would at least make a big bump, but he didn't feel it at all.
"The way to hit someone depends on who the opponent is." Xie Wenyi said lightly.
"..." Beating people is so reasonable.
"Did any other players die?" Ren Ran asked.
"Wei Lai is dead, Xu Ying was almost there, but when I took some time to go out, she was already disfigured, but at least she wasn't cold." Xie Wenyi said.
"It took a while, what do you mean?" Ren Ran asked.
"Someone ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts and wanted us to die. Let's not talk about this beforehand. Did you see something just now?"
"Who else can you see, Yunxiu, wearing a floral jacket, covering her face with her hair like a Sadako, under the hair is a bloody face. No, Xie Wenyi, we buried Yunxiu's bones Paste the talisman paper again, isn’t the task already completed, why does she still come out?”
This is the most problematic part. What happened to Ren Ran tonight shows that Yunxiu has not been sealed, but the key point is that they did receive a text message from the system to complete the task.
"From the time we received the text message saying that the side mission was triggered, I have doubts. All our actions revolve around the main line of Yunxiu. Why does the system say that this is just a sideline? If Yunxiu is just a part of the sideline, Then we haven’t completed the mission of this dungeon at all.”
But Wei Lai's death was something they didn't expect. This person's progress has been keeping pace with them, or even surpassing them. Could it be that this time the death of a randomly selected player?
"Xie Wenyi, how long have I been asleep?" Ren Ran saw that the night was still deep outside the window.
"One hour, it's almost twelve o'clock, the text message should be coming soon." Xie Wenyi paused, and said: "The situation outside is very bad, and I heard crying and screaming again, and even Chunsheng went out to check the situation. "
"Judging from the fantasy I saw just now, that woman must be Yunxiu. The key is that we have buried her bones and sealed her according to the mission requirements. Why does Yunxiu appear again, and what conditions are triggered? Appearing in front of certain people on a regular basis?"
Ren Ran felt that this problem was the key to this dungeon.
【Dear players, are you having fun?The ancient town has a pleasant climate and cool weather. You can choose to live here permanently. No.90 Wanted Order No. 10, the number of participating players is 4, and the number of survivors is currently [-]. Tomorrow is the deadline for the game. Come on, the announcer needs to recite an ancient poem before going to bed. He is very literary. Yes, a proud face. 】
The door creaked open.
Pan Sheng stood at the door with a towel in his hand. Since he had just taken a shower, his body was exuding heat, but his face was pale. He was surprised but didn't say anything. He put down the towel and sat back at the table to continue. read a book.
Xie Wenyi stared at him as cold as frost, and looked away after a while, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen to see what's there."
"I'll go with you." Ren Ran jumped out of the bed, he was fine and his head didn't hurt, what he just experienced was like a nightmare.
Pan Sheng kept his head down reading the book, when Ren Ran passed by him, he found that he even took the book down.
In the kitchen, Xu Ying was standing there gulping water. She had a few nail scratches on her face that hadn't healed yet.
Seeing them coming, she paused and nodded: "Xie Wenyi, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'd rather keep you alive than some bastard."
Xu Ying didn't understand these words, since she was not cold yet, she shrugged and continued to drink water.
"What the hell is going on? Haven't we already completed the mission? What's wrong with this system? This is cheating players!" Xu Ying said angrily.
"What can you do? There is no way to complain, but to die." Ren Ran said.
"What else can I do, forgive it." Xie Wenyi said.
Xu Yingxin said that the two of them sang together, and at this moment they were still in a joking mood, and sprayed the unswallowed water directly on the ground. It happened that Chunsheng came from outside the door and saw a puddle of water stains on the ground.
Although the conditions here are backward, the whole school was cleaned by Chunsheng. Xu Ying felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry, I'll clean it up when I take a breather."
"It's okay. I'll clean it up later. The water in the tank is almost gone. I'll fetch some water tomorrow. When I live alone, I fetch water once, which is enough for several days. Once you come, two or three The sky will see its bottom." It was windy outside, and his body felt a little chilly.
"Outside, how's the situation?" Ren Ran asked.
"Everyone is crowded in front of Uncle Six's house, and so many people died, so pitiful." Chunsheng shook his head, and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go and warm up the steamed buns and fish soup."
They didn't have much appetite for the hot fish soup, so Xu Ying put down her chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, "This fish soup is really fishy, I didn't drink it the day before yesterday, but I took a few mouthfuls last night , the stomach is not very comfortable."
Xie Wenyi's expression froze, he finally knew where the key was, and said to Chunsheng: "Chunsheng, that friend in my room hasn't eaten yet, please send me some soup."
"Okay, go to rest as soon as you finish eating. Fortunately, you are leaving tomorrow. I wanted to have a good meal with you, but now I am too." Chunsheng brought a portion of fish soup to Pan. wisdom.
Seeing him go, Xie Wenyi said softly: "One more day, no one will die of starvation, don't eat the food here, don't drink the water, don't touch the fish soup."
Yunxiu, who was killed and buried in the woods, is her curse on the ancient town. Azhi once said that Yunxiu was very kind to her and treated her to a candy cake. Maybe Azhi is the only person Yunxiu can think of who can help her .
The child's heart is always pure and fearless. She went to the woods to find Yunxiu's wreckage, and threw a piece of her finger bone into the river. The river outside the town is connected with the river inside the town, and the river has become a curse The medium of seeing Yunxiu, the fish and water in the river have become the medium of seeing Yunxiu.People here are used to keeping water tanks at home, which led to a time difference. Since the night before last, townspeople have been dying suddenly.The same is true for fish, those who were given fish by Uncle Wu can see Yunxiu after eating, including the fish soup in the school.
After hearing this, Xu Ying suddenly realized: "It makes sense, so Xie Wenyi, you have never eaten fish from beginning to end, and the water tank here was last filled with water in the morning of the day before yesterday."
"I didn't drink fish soup the day before yesterday, but I did last night, no wonder I saw visions." Ren Ran said.
"Damn, I drank a lot of water just now, am I about to get cold, is there still time for me to spit it out?" Xu Ying's expression froze instantly after the catastrophe.
"You can try." Ren Ran said with a smile.
"Damn, I don't believe Yunxiu can come twice in one night!" Xu Ying clenched her fists.
In this way, everything makes sense, but how to explain the skeleton, they did bury Yunxiu's skeleton and put a talisman on it, why didn't Yunxiu's curse disappear?
"Could it be that we were tricked by that woman, and the methods she taught are useless?" Xu Ying said.
"NPCs cannot lie. If there is a problem with that method, it does not conform to the rules of the game." Xie Wenyi said.
"Unless it's useless to do this alone, there is another person behind the whole thing." Ren Ran said.
Xie Wenyi looked into his eyes and nodded: "Very likely, I am very concerned about Wei Lai's death. His body should still be in the room. I want to go and have a look again."
Wei Lai fell to the ground, the room was in a mess, the tables and chairs were knocked over to the ground, obviously he was tortured and frightened before he died, he was as safe as the others, he scratched himself to pieces, nothing happened special place.
There was a short knife in his backpack, which should be a prop obtained from the game. The phone was locked and they couldn't open it.
Xie Wenyi found a small yellow note from his trouser pocket, which was exactly the same material as the talisman paper that Granny Feng gave them, with a "3" written on it.
"What does this mean?" Xu Ying asked.
"I don't know, it seems that he did get some clues that we don't know about." Ren Ran said.
It was getting late, and they each went back to their rooms to rest for a few hours. Although today was the deadline, they had to find a way to clear the level in the last time, but they had to maintain their physical and mental strength.
Ren Ran set the alarm clock on his phone, and the moment he was awakened, he thought that his phone had malfunctioned, because it was still pitch black outside the window like midnight, with sporadic raindrops, the weather today was very bad.
What was surprising was that Pan Sheng stuffed all the books into his backpack, carried them on his shoulders, and followed Ren Ran and Xie Wenyi, looking as if he was about to leave at any time.
"Aren't you going to have breakfast?" Pan Sheng asked.
"No, you can go by yourself." Xie Wenyi said coldly, without even looking at him.
Pan Sheng didn't go, but followed them firmly.
Xu Ying also got up, and they met in the yard. She must have been thinking about the dungeon all night, her eyelids were swollen, and the scratches on her face had scabbed over.
"I still care about this NPC, let's take a gamble." Xie Wenyi said.
The door of Chunsheng's room was still ajar, he didn't seem to be in the school, they entered the room and took a closer look, it was still exactly the same as when Ren Ran accidentally broke in that day.
The half-opened collection of poems was still on the table, "Once the sea was too difficult for water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud."
Xu Ying walked to the two rows of bookcases, searched carefully, and said excitedly: "There is a mezzanine! As expected, such a layout looks like it can hide things. It's not for nothing in TV dramas."
Not just a therapist, but a TV kid.
Inside the interlayer was a rather large wooden box, which was not locked, but when they opened it, they all changed color.
Inside is a human skeleton.
