Chapter 32

Bai Yan's fingertips hovered over C for two seconds before he finally sighed and chose B.

He wanted to smash the plesiosaur to death with a hammer, but the example of the ghost baby told him that the ghost could not be killed.

After choosing B, Bai Yan watched as he shook Wu Jingang vigorously. Seeing that he was unconscious, he raised his hand, shot left and right, and slapped him hard in the face.

After a while, Wu Jingang finally woke up. His neck returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bai Yan heard himself trembling and asked, "King Kong? Is that you?"

"It's me, what's wrong Yanyan, are you having a nightmare again?"

"You don't remember what happened just now? Your neck..." Bai Yan saw himself gesturing with his hands: "Your neck suddenly became so long, even scarier than last night, and you twisted your neck to face me. I kept looking at my face, it was so scary!”

"King Kong, I really didn't lie to you, you must be possessed by a ghost!"

After two consecutive nights of trouble, Wu Jingang also began to be doubtful. He touched his neck in confusion and felt that it was still an ordinary neck. It was not as long as his wife had imagined, and was as long as a goose's neck.

At this time, Bai Yan had regained control of his body. Seeing Wu Jingan scratching his head and thinking, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, feeling that he could not go on like this.

On the first night, he just sat up and looked at him from a distance. Tonight, he just looked at each other face to face. If he continued at this rate, the ghost would attack him tomorrow.

The game requires the player's actions to conform to the character's logic. After experiencing a series of shocks, Bai Yan should have enough reasons to start to doubt her husband.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yan was ready to try to change the plot. Even text adventures must follow the actions of the characters and cannot force them to die.

So, Bai Yan tried to say to Wu Jingang: "Jingang, I will go to sleep in another room later. You have really scared me these two nights. If I sleep with you again, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Yan Yan..." Wu Jingang was very unwilling. He still felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He was a little worried about Bai Yan, wondering if she was stimulated by what happened that day and had a mental problem.

"Yanyan, let's do this. I'll sleep in that room tonight. I'll have a rest tomorrow and go to the hospital with you to see a psychiatrist. You must be under too much pressure to have such hallucinations."

After a few words of comfort to Bai Yan, Wu Jingang hugged the quilt and went to sleep in another room. After going through three multiple-choice questions in one day, Bai Yan felt that nothing would happen again, so he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

…

The next morning, Wu Jingang got up early and prepared to see a psychiatrist with Bai Yan.

However, before going out, he received a notice from the company that he needed to work overtime.

Bai Yan knew that there was nothing wrong with him, and going to the hospital would be of no use. Besides, he had something to do in the morning, so he sent Wu Jinguang to work overtime.

After Wu Jingang went out, Bai Yan followed suit soon after.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, he arrived at an easily found cafe near this community.

Yesterday afternoon, he went out and printed a stack of missing persons notices, which contained game information, and asked for help from people to post them everywhere. If the two players who entered the game with him saw it, they would wait in the cafe this morning and follow them. Join him together.

I looked at the time and saw that it was still early than ten o'clock.

Bai Yan entered the cafe and looked around. He saw a woman in red sitting at a table for four. She was wearing a red dress and black trousers, and a pair of red shoes. She looked very energetic.

But what attracted Bai Yan was not her dazzling dress, but the fact that three identical cups of coffee were neatly placed on her table, and the coffee inside was untouched, keeping the appearance of how they had just been served.

Opposite the woman in red is a high school student in school uniform.

The high school student was working hard on his test paper with a gel pen. Like the woman in red, he also had three identical cups of coffee placed next to his paper. A total of six cups of coffee are placed on the table, which is particularly conspicuous compared to other tables and can be recognized at a glance.

So, Bai Yan walked to the table and asked the two of them, "Are you the players in this game?"

Seeing the two of them nodding, Bai Yan pulled up the chair next to the high school student and sat down.

"I remember, your children were clamoring to play with dogs that day." Bai Yan said straightforwardly: "We don't have much time. Two days have passed since the game. It will become more and more difficult next time. Everyone exchanges the information they know. Come on, this is why I came to you."

"Okay." The high school student said: "My name is Li Ming, which is the name of the character I play in this game. I am a freshman in high school. My parents go out to work and I am raised by my grandparents. Half a month ago, My grandma died and my grandpa fell ill and was hospitalized a few days ago. I am currently the only one living at home.”

"Li Ming, he is in his first year of high school..." Bai Yan immediately reacted and said, "Do you live in 303?"

"Yes." Li Ming replied calmly: "Do you know about my family?"

"I've met your grandma." Bai Yan smiled: "Your grandma seems to like making paper money dumplings. I wonder if you heard the sound of chopping meat at night."

"Not only did I hear it, she and I made the dumplings together." Li Ming said the extremely shocking words without changing his expression: "I was a little too strong when I was hiding from the poisonous insect stuffing. I'm really sorry to disturb you."

"We are all neighbors, please be polite." Bai Yan said: "Since we are very close, the resident in 402 upstairs should be you, madam, right?"

"It's me." The woman in red nodded: "My name in this game is Yi Zihan. I have a husband and a pair of children. My eldest son is three years old this year, and my youngest daughter has just turned ten months old, but the youngest My daughter’s grandmother got distracted when she was looking after her. Unfortunately, she fell from upstairs and fell to her death against the wall a week ago.”

After the two talked about the basic situation at home, Bai Yan also began to explain his own situation: "My name in this department is Bai Yan, and I have a husband. Four days ago, a rapist entered the house, and Bai Yan accidentally smashed him to death. , currently this ghost appears in my husband every night, and most of my choices are related to him.”

After hearing Bai Yan's answer, Yi Zihan asked suspiciously: "Why do you have a husband with a girl's name?"

Bai Yan smiled politely and continued: "During the gender selection, I tried to choose a woman, but the game assigned me the identity of a woman."

"Okay, I understand." Yi Zihan looked very anxious: "The baby who fell to death has been climbing up to the fourth floor every night to cause trouble for me for the past two days. Although I am not it, Yi Zihan is his biological mother. ! It was her grandmother who threw her to death. If she didn’t go to her, why did she have to come to me? "

Yi Zihan grabbed her hair, her eyes filled with bloodshot eyes: "I have already consumed 4 resurrection coins. If I die two more times, I will really die. It has only been three days! I really can't figure out why she has to die." You want to come to me for revenge. By the way, when I went out this morning, I met a dog, the same dog you saw yesterday. I was bitten to death by this dog once in the corridor. I endured it yesterday. I kept kicking it, and it turned into a ghost and came to me today.”

"I know about dogs." Li Ming said while doing the test paper: "Xu Feile and I are classmates. She called me last night and told me that her dog ate poisonous ham and was poisoned to death. , its death should have nothing to do with you."

"The dog turns into a ghost even after it dies. This game is really interesting..." Bai Yan picked up Li Ming's coffee, took a sip and said, "Did Xu Feile tell you where the dog died?"

"She died at Xu Feile's house. She also lived in our building. She lived in 502." Li Ming put down the pen in his hand and said: "Xu Feile wanted to send the dog to the pet hospital, but the dog died at home. Last night She buried her pet dog under a tree in the community, but she didn't expect that the dog also turned into a ghost. "

"What about your grandma? How did she die?"

"It's natural to die of old age. She's almost eighty. I'm sure no one killed her."

"..."

After listening to Li Ming's story, Bai Yan fell into deep thought.

He originally thought that the ghosts in this game were out for revenge, but now it seemed that it was more than that.

Liu Xiaotian, Gui Ying, and the dog turned into ghosts were all in the past. After all, they all died abnormally and needed to find someone. Revenge is reasonable, at least it fits the logic of the game. But the death of Grandma Li Ming broke this rule. She died of natural old age and had no enmity or grudge against anyone.

It couldn't be that her neighbors had offended her. She would never forget these neighbors until her death, so she had to give them some color, right?

Bai Yan tried his best to find the rules of this game through these clues. Xu Feile lived in 502, Yi Zihan lived in 402, he was 302, and it was disconnected when he came to Li Ming, he was 303, regardless of the order of residence or grandma's Even if he is dead, he is a maverick. Could it be that Li Ming is the key to this game?

Bai Yan took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, but felt that this analysis was wrong.

Besides Li Ming, they actually have one thing in common. All the ghosts and monsters died in this building!

Liu Xiaotian was smashed to death by Bai Yan with a vase in the building. Grandma died in the house. Even the dog was poisoned when she returned home. The ghost baby clung to the wall when it moved, and it also clung to the base of the wall when it died. dead. Thinking of this, Bai Yan had a guess in his mind...

"Do you think all the ghosts are caused by this building? Anyone who dies in this building will eventually return as an undead?"

Bai Yan explained his guess, and the other two people began to think hard.

After a long time, Li Ming took out his phone and looked at the text message. He raised his head and said, "Xu Feile sent me a text message just now, saying that she saw the dog she raised last night. She slept with the door closed last night and heard Huanhuan She yelled at her door. She remembered that she had buried the dog downstairs and was so scared that she stayed up all night and didn't dare to come out of the room until her parents woke up in the morning."

"That little girl is so annoying. She has nothing to do with a dog. She deserves to be poisoned to death." Perhaps remembering the experience of being bitten to death by a dog, Yi Zihan's expression turned ugly: "Her dog died, but she is fine. , I was bitten to death once. It’s true that every kind of dog has its own owner. I heard that her dog was poisoned because it was always dishonest. Why didn’t she die with the dog? ?”

"If she is bitten to death by a dog, we will be in trouble." Li Ming's face changed slightly: "If it is true what Bai Yan said, after Xu Feile dies, we will face five ghosts tonight. The ghosts will continue to make the dead. , the dead will turn into new ghosts after death. When the number of ghosts increases, will this text adventure... still have options that can definitely allow people to survive? "
