The Trial Game of Life

Tang Cuo remembered that when he first arrived in Yongye City, Jin Cheng said that he had many enemies. Once he learned that he was punished and returned to Area F, he needed to do a new mission to upgrade. Yan is listed as an alternate teammate, pending investigation.

The current situation cannot be concluded that there must be enemies in the dungeon, but the difficulty of the special trigger dungeon has surpassed the level that should be in the E area, and the lethality of the pig teammates is infinite.

But is Tang Cuo afraid?No, he wasn't scared at all.

A real warrior, he just does it without saying much, and the target is still the basement.

In 1926, where Jin Cheng lived, Yu's mansion had become a haunted house occupied by ghosts.There are ghosts wandering in the kitchen, corridors, everywhere, and only the phone is a temporary safe zone.But if you stay here for too long, the ghosts will also take the initiative to attack.

Fortunately, the road from the phone to the closet was unobstructed, and the three of them quickly opened the mechanism and entered the basement.

Tang Cuo didn't use the candlestick this time, because Jin Cheng took out the glazed lamp he got in the copy of "The Kingdom of the Hidden Moon".This thing is not very useful, it can only be used for lighting, but because it is a task item, it can be stored in the equipment bar, so it is very convenient to use.

The door to the basement was still locked, and Qi Hui had a key brought from another time and space in his pocket, but Tang Cuo was thoughtful, and still asked Jin Cheng, "Is the housekeeper's key still there?"

Jin Cheng: "I used three to open the attic, and I have one left."

Tang Cuo: "A hand?"

Because time and space have changed, have the corresponding clues also changed?Tang Cuo thought about it, and made room for Jin Cheng to try the key.Jin Cheng took out the only remaining key and tried it, but it couldn't be opened.

In other words, the key to the basement in the housekeeper's hand was no longer in his hand in 1926.

Without further ado, Tang Cuo opened the basement with the key in his hand.The moment he opened the door, Qi Hui was very alert, but since he had already opened the basement once before, he was not too scared.

The scene that could be entered still surprised him.

In addition to the coffin, there were two corpses lying on the ground in the basement.

Jin Cheng squatted down, turned a corpse with its back up, and revealed his identity with just one glance, "Housekeeper." He looked at another corpse, "Yu Wangnian."

Tang Cuo continued to open the coffin, glanced at the more shriveled but recognizable corpse in the coffin, and said calmly: "Yu Wangyue."

Qi Hui was speechless, "The family is destroyed?"

Tang Cuo turned his head and asked Jin Cheng, "Are the bodies of Madam and others there?"

Jin Cheng: "At least not in the opened door."

Tang Cuo nodded, and went to check the corpse on the ground again.Soon, he frowned, and said, "These two have just died. There are only ordinary bumps on their bodies, and there are no fatal injuries."

Jin Cheng spread his hands, "That was killed by a ghost. Madam Lin Wan died of hatred, so she killed her husband all over the family, just like a ghost story."

But this is no ordinary ghost story.

Just as Tang Cuo was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a ghost in the corner from the corner of his eye, and his expression changed suddenly.Jin Cheng's reaction was faster than his, and he sprinkled a handful of starlight dust, forcing the ghost back, and at the same time saw his face clearly.

"Yu Wangnian."

Qi Hui was shocked, and quickly hid behind the two big men.Tang Cuo quickly searched the two corpses, no matter what he found, he put it in his pocket, and then quickly evacuated.

Five minutes later, the three returned to the living room telephone.

Only now did Tang Cuo have time to ask Jin Cheng, "What did you sprinkle just now?"

Jin Cheng smiled, "The ashes in the incense burner in front of the Buddha are not very useful, but they can drive away ghosts. But I only have one bag of this thing, and it will be gone after I sprinkle it. If I want to leave here alive, I have to rely on you, My great detective."

Tang Cuo ignored his rhetoric and accepted the results of the trip.He found three things in total from the bodies of the housekeeper and Yu Wangnian, a key, a gun, and an old pamphlet the size of a palm.

Both the key and the gun were found from Yu Wangnian, and two bullets were missing from the gun.

The booklet belonged to the housekeeper, and when I opened it, it recorded some precautions for daily work, but I didn't see any tricks for the time being.

"We have to go to the second floor. Yu Wangnian's key might be able to open his bedroom or study," Tang Cuo said.When he said this, his eyes were on Jin Cheng.

Jin Cheng folded his arms, "You are really giving me a problem."

There is only one feasible method, Jin Cheng restrains the ghost on the second floor, and Tang Cuo is responsible for finding clues.As for Qi Hui, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng looked at him together.

Qi Hui suddenly shuddered, feeling afraid of the big brother's tacit understanding.

Tang Cuo: "You stay on the phone and keep calling until you get through."

Qi Hui didn't want to be alone, but he glanced at the dark second floor, thought of that scary female ghost, and thought of Zhou Dahai, and finally agreed to the plan.

"But if the call gets through, what should I say?"

Tang Cuo said without hesitation, "Just say that Cheng Jin is dead."

Jin Cheng: "???"

Tang Cuo turned his head to look at him, but didn't speak.

Jin Cheng: "Won't you explain it?"

Tang Cuo asked back, "Didn't you see my face now?"

I explained ah, on my handsome face full of integrity.

Jin Cheng laughed angrily at him, raised his hand and rubbed his head fiercely, as if he wanted to mess up someone's hair.Tang Cuo was shaken by him, and he glanced at him out of the corner of his eye—is there something wrong with you, and you are very childish.

Qi Hui hurriedly persuaded: "Don't quarrel, both of you, if you have something to say, talk it out, talk it out."

Jin Cheng glanced over, "Did we quarrel?"

Qi Hui: "No???"

Jin Cheng really didn't want to talk to such a blind man, so he grabbed Tang Cuo's wrist and dragged him away, "Come here."

Tang Cuo was expressionless, but he didn't resist at all.

Qi Hui was even more worried, afraid that they would fight, but he really didn't dare to persuade him any more.

Stepping into the dark stairs leading to the second floor, Jin Cheng let go of Tang Cuo's hand.He wanted to hold on for a while longer, but it wasn't conducive to fighting.

Tang Cuo has already taken out the sword of judgment.

"You want to cheat the remaining two players?" Jin Cheng asked.

"Pond frying, isn't this your specialty?" While speaking, the two of them had already walked up to the last step on the second floor.In the dark corridor, there was a gust of wind and a ghostly atmosphere, and the faint cry of a woman came from the front.

Jin Cheng lowered his voice, "The aggressiveness of these ghosts is different. Madam is a fierce ghost. Anyone who steps into her territory will definitely be attacked, and she is also the strongest. Most of the rest are little ghosts, and they can be dealt with. Toilet The ghoul is somewhere in between, but he is not as aggressive as the lady. Also, the ghosts on the first floor will not come to the second floor, they are afraid of the lady."

These were all summed up by Jin Cheng through several actual combats in the first two hours, and Tang Cuo wrote them down one by one.

The two walked close to the wall, and because they had received professional training, the sound of their footsteps was almost silent, and even the sound of their breathing was adjusted to be inaudible.In the whole house, there were only the sound of the ghost's self-pity and crying, and the sound of Qi Hui making a phone call in the hall on the first floor.

Qi Hui was extremely nervous. He saw ghosts floating in the kitchen door, Yu Wangnian in the basement, and ghosts in the corridors and on the ceiling.

"Crack!" Another chandelier exploded above the head, leaving only three flickering.

On the second floor, Tang Cuo had already begun to try the first door.His movements are very light, but very fast. If one fails, he will try the next one without delay.

Jin Chenghu was beside him, and in the darkness, their bodies touched occasionally, like a small spark splashing in the ice and snow, carrying a scorching temperature.

But now is not the time to think about it.

Jin Cheng listened carefully to the sobbing of the female ghost, and suddenly, he took out the little harp and raised his hand to play a piece of "Requiem".There is only half a bag of incense ash left, so we need to save some.

At the same time, Tang Cuo's action of unlocking the lock suddenly accelerated.He quickly ran to the next door, and the key was inserted into the lock hole precisely, "click", that's right!

This is a study room.

Tang Cuo didn't stop walking. He only took a quick glance and went straight to the desk.Flipping books, opening drawers, and finding hidden compartments, all actions are fast and steady like flowing water.

There was already a fight in the hallway.

Tang Cuo didn't have time to look up. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cloth bag in the corner, and immediately swept everything he found useful into the cloth bag.And at this moment, he saw the first photo he saw after entering the mansion.

The black and white photos of the old days are not very clear, but it can be seen that it is a group photo of a family of four.The photo was taken on the lawn outside the mansion. Yu Wangnian and his wife Lin Wan were sitting together. Lin Wan held a cute little girl with a sweet smile in her arms, and behind Yu Wangnian stood the gentle Yu Wangyue.

Tang Cuo pulled the photo out of the frame and saw the date behind the photo: January 1923, 1.

Judging from the photos, at the beginning of 1923, the family still looked happy.

After putting away the photos, Tang Cuo turned his gaze to a small door in the back of the study.The small door leads to another room. Tang Cuo carefully observed the keyhole and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He hurried back to the door, "Key!"

Jin Cheng understood, a sonic attack repelled the female ghost, turned around and threw the butler's key chain.Tang Cuo caught it steadily, and quickly walked back to the small door, opening it smoothly.

Inside the door is a small bedroom, it is not difficult to see that this is where Yu Wangnian usually lives.The color is dark and there is no decoration, revealing the old-fashioned and strictness of the owner.

"Ding." Tang Cuo kicked something, looked down and found it was a key.

The key to the basement.

This copy becomes more and more interesting.The key to the basement is in the small door of the study. Although the key to the small door is on the butler's keychain, if you want to open the small door, you must enter the study, and the key to the study is in the basement.

If Tang Cuo came from another time and space without the key to the basement, this would be an unsolvable ring.

No wonder the people who entered the dungeon were wiped out one after another.

Time is running out, and Tang Cuo is not allowed to think about it.He quickly began to search for clues, and when he walked around the bed in the bedroom, he found a corpse——the corpse of a maidservant, wearing a cheongsam with a large slit, and one collar button had been undone. It seemed that she had been carefully dressed. Lipstick is still on the mouth.She covered her heart and opened her eyes wide, as if she never expected her end until she died.

Her cause of death was a bullet in the chest, a one-shot kill.

Tang Cuo thought of Yu Wangnian's gun with two bullets missing, and the old pen that the maid hid in the room. The broken and messy clues began to connect, revealing a corner of the story.

There were few things in the bedroom, so Tang Cuo quickly turned back and returned to the corridor with the cloth bag.

Jin Cheng led the female ghost to fight with the ghoul again, and perfectly concocted the last fight. Although the process was not as smooth as last time, it managed to keep the two ghosts at the other end far away from Tang Cuo.

Tang Cuo took a hasty glance, took the situation into his eyes, and then rushed to Yu Wangyue's room decisively.Before coming to 1926, he had already obtained the key to this room, and met Yu Mochizuki's ghost inside.

In 1926, the moment the door opened, Tang Cuo had a second encounter with him.

Yu Mochizuki sat by the window with a blank and flat expression.He looked back again, his movements were still slow, and his expression didn't show any waves.

"Yu Wangyue?" Tang Cuo tried to talk to him, but Yu Wangyue was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, neither actively attacking anyone nor having any interest in communicating.

Tang Cuo simply ignored him and searched the room alone.

With great difficulty, Jin Cheng repelled the two ghosts for the time being. He breathed a sigh of relief, and when he probed in to check the situation, what he saw was a scene where one person and one ghost occupied each side, and they lived in harmony.

"How do you two make friends?" Jin Cheng said in his heart that I have fought with ghosts outside for [-] rounds, from entering the dungeon to now, are you still harmonious and friendly?

My Yintang is a little black, and my hair is still a little green.

Tang Cuo explained: "If you don't believe me, hit him once, and he won't hit you either."

Jin Cheng: "..."

Tang Cuo said again: "Have you noticed that Madam won't beat you anymore?"

Jin Cheng: "..."

He looked back, it really was.

In the dark corridor, calm was restored again.The Ghoul Smasher was frightened by the female ghost's beating, and temporarily retreated into the toilet, but the female ghost glanced at Jin Cheng who was standing at the door of Yu Wangyue's room, but did not step forward.

Infinite resentment is like a tide, ebb and flow, leaving a place of sorrow.She just looked at this side with such a sad and indescribable expression, then turned and hid into the wall.

Madam Lin Wan and Yu Wangyue, there must be something wrong.

Jin Cheng was thinking about it, when suddenly Qi Hui shouted in surprise from downstairs, "It's clear! Is Dahai you? I'm Qi Hui!"

Qi Hui yelled so loudly just to report to the two people upstairs.Jin Cheng turned his head and exchanged glances with Tang Cuo, and the two quickly went downstairs.

"Don't worry, what's going on with you?" Qi Hui tried to wink at Tang Cuo while comforting Zhou Dahai.

Tang Cuo didn't answer, he took out the diary he found in the study, and wrote questions on it with the maid's old pen for Qi Hui to read.

Qi Hui understood, made an "OK" gesture, and asked into the phone: "Are you the only one over there? Now I am the only one here, and the sudden disappearance of Tang Cuo scared me to death." !"

Zhou Dahai had no doubt about him, and asked nervously, "Then what should we do now?"

Qi Hui: "Now we can only rely on ourselves first, Dahai, let me ask you, did Yu Wangyue you saw in the basement just died? Have you found out who the murderer is?"

Zhou Dahai: "I don't know the murderer, but it looks like he just died. Are you okay? I found that Yu Wangyue's ghost didn't seem to be attacking me actively. I'm hiding next to the phone and I'm fine for the time being."

Qi Hui: "What time is it in your place? How many years? What time is it at night?"

Zhou Dahai: "I saw the newspaper on the table. It was December 1923, 12, and it is now past nine o'clock in the evening. But I read that the newspaper was wrong. Didn't Yu Wangyue die? The newspaper said he was studying abroad went!"

Tang Cuo listened to a moderate voice coming from the receiver, and finally determined the timelines of three different time and space.

Zhou Dahai: On December 1923, 12, Yu Mochizuki died.

He and Qi Hui: In 1924, the toilet mutilation case.

Jin Cheng: In 1926, the family was destroyed in the mansion.

There were homicides in three different time periods.It is worth noting that, according to the orthographic records at the bottom of the bed in the attic, the time of Yu Mochizuki's death may match the time when the attic resident was imprisoned.
