Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

Chapter 364 Bottom Player 10

There was a third person in the lobby. The owner of the B&B raised his black eyes from under the brim of his hat and looked at the two of them from time to time, with his gaze especially on Hua Xia. When Hua Xia tilted her head to look at him, the other party quickly dodged.

It seems extremely weird.

250 seemed to have discovered something and shouted: [Host, look at the feet of the B&B owner...]

The man noticed from the corner of his eye that Hua Xia had not taken her eyes off him, and he dodged even more, a red handle showing on the edge of his black trousers, it looked familiar, and even had a familiar feel.

Isn’t it the pair of garden shears that was stuck into the monster’s head and taken downstairs last night?

The monsters are transformed by the villagers at night, and the B&B owner disappears every evening. The "executor" mentioned by the supervisor is none other than this person.

"Boss, your scissors are very useful to me." Hua Xia walked over, rested her arms on the table, and her eyes lazily fell on the feet of the B&B owner.

Hua Xia took the garden shears upstairs yesterday. It's really annoying to keep knocking on the door.

The middle-aged man's first reaction was to touch the top of his hat, and then he moved the scissors closer to his feet: "...Really..."

My head hurts...

The smile in Hua Xia's voice became more obvious: "I forgot to tell the boss when I used it yesterday. Can I borrow it again tonight?"

The owner of the B&B didn't wait for Hua Xia to finish and said hastily, "It's too dangerous. It's better not to use it... It's better not to use it..."

The black eyes under the brim of his hat rolled around, and he said sternly: "No, no!"

In the end, I was a little frustrated.

Hua Xia then slowly said, "If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. I don't have to lend it to you."

The muscles on the cheeks of the B&B owner twitched reflexively: "......"

Bai Chu's eyes swept across the B&B owner calmly, and when they fell on Hua Xia, his eyelashes trembled, and he quickly drooped his eyelids, covering the light in his eyes.

Hua Xia was too lazy to go out again. She could almost guess what happened in the village in the past two days. Only the part about Bai Chu was still a little unclear. From beginning to end, Bai Chu had never concealed anything, so the truth about him was probably only a thin veil away.

During the day, Hua Xia and Bai Chu went out for a stroll. Unlike other people, they just walked around the village and did not go up the mountain.

The difference between day and night is obvious. During the day, most villagers behaved very friendly, as if they had no memory of the night. The old woman was still waiting for her husband to come home, and she even described it as if he had only been away for one night.

Upstream of the stream they met another family. There was only a young woman in the family. She was dressed brightly, had a plump figure, and had a happy smile on her face. She was very enthusiastic.

Hua Xia squatted by the stream and stepped on the water. The woman took out two chairs from the house and handed them to Hua Xia and Bai Chu. She also grabbed a bench and chatted with the two of them.

She kept talking about how capable and family-oriented her new husband was. When she learned that they were tourists from other places, she began to ask about the world outside the village. The woman said that there were not many tourists in the village, and some bosses in suits had come here half a year ago.

When the woman talked about her husband's plan to take her on a trip at the end of the year, her eyes and brows were gentle, as if she had lived a carefree life.

Bai Chu rarely spoke.

Hua Xia chatted with the woman and made up a story that she was a recent college graduate and was on a graduation trip. The woman said that she had not received much education and that her husband had not received any education either, but that he was capable and treated her well.

After chatting for three or five sentences, the woman mentioned her husband. As expected, her husband was on the list of the deceased. Hua Xia asked the woman her husband's name, and this name appeared on the big screen displaying information on the first day.

It's useless information.

250 discovered that the host could actually chat with an NPC for such a long time.

During the whole process, Bai Chu sat next to Hua Xia. His cold, bony fingers were pinching the bamboo strips folded from the bamboo chair where Hua Xia was sitting, with the tip of his index finger covering them. When Hua Xia moved, her loose hair would pass over them, just blocking the possibility of being hooked by the bamboo strips.

Hua Xia didn't care. She looked at the gurgling stream. The water was clear but there were no fish. There was a layer of fine sand and mud at the bottom.

The woman suddenly spoke in her ear, with a smile in her tone: "Are you two married?"

Hua Xia blinked and looked sideways at the woman: "What?"

The woman repeated her words and glanced at the two of them with a gossipy look. Bai Chu reacted briefly, and his fingertips that were fiddling with the rattan chair paused, but he did not move away.

Hua Xia answered casually: "No."

Bai Chu, who was always taciturn, spoke in a cold voice at the same time: "Why, you ask that?"

Hearing Hua Xia's answer, Bai Chu raised his eyes, his eyes flickered, then he pursed his lips and lowered his gaze.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and answered Bai Chu's question: "There is something between you that others cannot understand, that is..."

Her limited vocabulary did not allow her to describe it accurately: "It's like you are in the water, there are only two of you in the water, the water is transparent, others can't see it, but they can't get in."

"Besides," the woman glanced at Bai Chu and curved her eyes, "you seem to like her very much."

Bai Chu was slightly startled. He had lost his sense of temperature a long time ago, but now he felt his body boiling. However, they had only known each other for two days...

The woman laughed: "Just like now, you can't help but look at her subconsciously, right?"

Bai Chu suddenly remembered how he had stood in the opposite room for two days at midnight. What was he doing? To ensure her safety?

When Hua Xia looked at it with interest, Bai Chu hastily avoided his gaze.

"By the way." The woman stood up and walked into the house, her tone unable to conceal her happiness, "I'll show you something."

After a while, the woman came out with something wrapped in red cloth in her hand. She carefully opened it and found a gold ring lying quietly.

"My husband gave it to me. Does it look nice?" The woman put on the ring, which fit perfectly. "He made it himself without telling me. I like it very much."

The ring has traces of rough workmanship and does not look professionally made.

However, the material used for this gold ring is indeed very eye-catching. Hua Xia narrowed her eyes slightly and noticed the faint glow on the surface of the ring. The golden stone in the stone wall on the day Bai Chu entered the mine was of this kind. At first glance, it was gold, but upon closer inspection, there was a glow and the color was not uniform.

The men who were recruited to work were probably mining this kind of mine. The woman's husband thought it was gold, so he took some home and made a ring for his wife.

Hua Xia nodded vaguely.

In the evening, in the lobby of the B&B, players came back one after another. Compared with Hua Xia, they were all exhausted.

The fact that Zhang Zhong appeared on the list of the dead in the morning sounded the alarm for everyone. The next name to appear on the big screen would most likely be their own. Life and death, the investigation for clues became more diligent.

"Li Yiyi, why didn't I see you go up the mountain today?" Jia Ren took a steamed bun and ate it raw, and walked over hurriedly, "Or did you find any clues? Where did you go to investigate?"

"You are..." Jia Ren was blocked just as he approached. The man standing in front of him was very tall, about the same height as Qin Han, with a stern face and looked particularly unfamiliar. He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a taciturn player in the team.

"Hey, what's your name?" They seemed to have introduced themselves in the car, but Jia Ren couldn't remember the name of the man in front of him.
