The Trial Game of Life

It was twelve o'clock in 1926, and in the last two hours, Tang Cuo still hadn't found the gift that the housekeeper brought back from the bank.

The three returned to the phone.

Qi Hui thought positively, "After all, why did the butler take out the gift in advance? Yu Wangnian instructed him to do so, right?"

Jin Cheng folded his arms and leaned against the flower stand, seeing him getting more and more upbeat, "Continue talking."

Qi Hui: "Has Yu Wangnian already expected the tragedy to come? We have lived together in the cage of the mansion for so long, and the spirit is almost broken. He may have sensed something, so he took out the gift in advance Giving it to my daughter, like, like taking care of the funeral?"

This is not without reason.

Judging from the performance of each ghost, the wife was killed by her own daughter, and she had been taking medicine before she died, with the most resentment, so she became a fierce ghost.But Yu Wangnian, who was supposed to be the scariest, was on the same level as the little devils, which shows that he died with general resentment.Perhaps he really expected the ending of Yu Mansion.

For Yu Wangnian, isn't this a relief?His younger brother was indirectly killed by him, and his wife also died. All the unrequited love, guilt and remorse will disappear because of death.

After all, the whereabouts of the gift are still unknown.

Tang Cuo went to the room of the housekeeper and the lady again, and then went to Yu Wangnian's study room. He almost peeled off the walls of all the rooms, but he didn't find any clues.

What is missing?

Tang Cuo finally stood in Yu Wangyue's room and thought deeply. The door was open, and he could see his wife's room from here, but where would the gift be?

The lady's room can't be opened, the key is probably in the last time and space, should I go to that time and space to get the key and come back to open the door?

Miss took away the diary in 1936, mostly for the gift information recorded in the diary, she did not know that the gift had been taken out in advance.

It can be seen that the gift has not been handed over to her.

The butler went to the bank to pick up something, and that thing was most likely still kept by the butler. Where would he put it?such an important thing...

When Tang Cuo saw his wife's room again, he had a flash of inspiration and rushed to the kitchen.

Qi Hui was standing on the only way from the living room to the kitchen, when he saw Tang Cuo almost slipping down on the handrail of the stairs, he hurriedly got out of the way.Then he followed, "Brother Tang, what's wrong???"

Tang Cuo said concisely, "The password box."

Lockbox for charging medicine.

In 1924, Tang Cuo found a tin box with a combination lock in the kitchen, which contained his wife's medicine.After he opened it, he threw it aside, because there was really nothing to pay attention to for a medicine box.

He subconsciously ignored it.

But what if, in 1926, the contents of this box had changed?

Soon, Tang Cuo found the box at the original location, and tried using the password to open it for the first time, but it couldn't be opened anymore.

Qi Hui became excited, "If the password has been changed, the contents inside must have been changed too!"

Tang Cuo didn't answer, and concentrated on cracking the code.He first tried using the date of the young lady's birthday, but he couldn't open it, and then tried the date of getting back the gift, but he still couldn't open it.

Jin Cheng wandered out from some corner, leaned against the door, and said, "Since it's a gift, maybe Yu Wangnian still hopes that his daughter will open it on that day. You can try that day."

This is really a wonderful way of thinking.

小姐的生日是1918年2月6日，那时就是1936年2月6日，唐措抱着姑且一试的心态输入“360206”，没想到竟然成功了。

Qi Hui was dumbfounded.

Tang Cuo was also silent for two seconds, then calmly opened the box at any time, and took out a music box from inside.The music box is very heavy, made of sterling silver, inlaid with more than a dozen red and blue gemstones and crystals, and the cost is expensive.

There is also a card under it, with a pen written on it - love your father, Yu Wangnian.

Tang Cuo opened the music box and wound it up, but no music came out, so Tang Cuo decided to dismantle it.

Qi Hui felt that this was too violent, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this all right? Can it be put back together after it's taken apart?"

Tang Cuo didn't speak, but just looked up at Jin Cheng and blinked.

Jin Cheng thought he was cute, and was dazed for a moment, "Take it apart, I'll pretend it for you."

Tang Cuo glanced at Qi Hui, then lowered his head and continued to dismantle the music box.Qi Hui thought it was weird, something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

In short, it's weird, and I feel like I'm superfluous.

After 5 minutes, the music box has become a pile of scattered parts.Tang Cuo sat cross-legged on the ground and worked, while Jin Cheng squatted in front of him and watched with his chin propped up.

When Tang Cuo finally confirmed that there was nothing hidden in the music box, he pushed all the parts in front of Jin Cheng, and Jin Cheng helplessly installed them for him.

The two didn't speak a word the whole time, but the tacit understanding that flowed naturally persuaded Qi Hui to retreat ten meters away, and was lonely by the phone.

More lonely than him is Rong Yi in 1936. He is not only lonely, but also physically and mentally exhausted. These NPCs in 1936 really ran away and set fire at every turn. Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo were golden partners, with two brains and two skills, and he was alone, struggling to cope.

After finally getting the key, he racked his brains to open the safe in the lady's room. After contacting the clues he got before, he knew that he had to go back to 1926, but when he thought of Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo in 1926, he hesitated.

At this point in the past, the disadvantage is too great.

After thinking about it, Rong Yi made a decision.The last time I adjusted the time, when the piano sounded at twelve o'clock, Rong Yi's figure disappeared in 1936 in an instant.

On the other side, Tang Cuo put away the music box and began to sort out the final clues with Jin Cheng.There is only the last time and space left, and the general appearance of the story has already come out. If you organize it clearly, you can save time in the future.

Presumably Rong Yi has already grasped most of the clues, so the most important thing now is to grab the time.

More than an hour later, it was twelve o'clock, and the three of them traveled to 1916 smoothly.

The Yu mansion in 1916 is slightly different from the Yu mansions in other time and space. It is spacious and bright, all the lights are on, and there are no reinforced railings outside the windows, and everything is clean and new.There are still many candies on the coffee table in the living room, and the word "Happy" is pasted on the door, which is very popular.

Suddenly switching from the haunted house to the mansion with bright and clean windows, Qi Hui felt a little dazed for a while, but Tang Cuo quickly brought him back to reality—"Look for the corpse."

Qi Hui's eyes widened, "Corpse?"

"There are homicides in every time and space, and of course this place is no exception." Tang Cuo simply explained, turned around and walked to the basement.He walked quickly, opening closets and descending stairs, all in one go.

But he was blocked by the basement door because the keys didn't match.

Jin Cheng bent down to look at the keyhole carefully, "The lock has been changed, this is not the later lock."

Tang Cuo keenly smelled the smell of blood coming from the basement again, and asked Jin Cheng for a glazed lamp, looking in through the half-finger-wide crack in the door.Qi Hui also leaned over to take a look, but at the first sight he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Eyes! Someone, one eye is looking at me!!!" Qi Hui was still in shock, gasping for breath as he spoke.It was really terrifying, the eye in the crack of the door was wide open, covered with bloodshot eyes, as if the eyeball was about to pop out of it, as if, as if someone was trying to get out through the crack of the door.

Tang Cuo was not frightened, but his face was serious, "It's a player."

Qi Hui was stunned.

Tang Cuo turned his head, "Take another look."

What does this mean?

Qi Hui didn't understand for a while, or refused to understand, but Tang Cuo had already moved his position, so he could only bite the bullet and lean up to watch, his heart beating like a drum.

"Meng, Meng Ping?" Qi Hui finally recognized the man when he saw the mole at the corner of the man's eye.He called out the name in disbelief, and then fell into madness, "Meng Ping? What's wrong with you, Meng Ping? Answer me!"

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng didn't speak, they waited quietly for Qi Hui to vent, and accepted the fact that Meng Ping was dead.

"Why? Why did this happen? Why did he die here quietly?" Qi Hui grabbed his hair, although his emotions had gradually stabilized, he was still very broken.

"There are six players in the dungeon, you, me, Tang Cuo, Zhou Dahai, and Rong Yi. There are only five of them, and of course there is a sixth one. He is not in the time and space before us, so he can only be here, but he is from the beginning to the end. They haven't responded to the phone calls yet." Jin Cheng said.

Tang Cuo went on to say, "There is no response. Unless he is as powerful as Rong Yi, he is trapped. And it has been more than ten hours since we entered the dungeon. At dawn, he will definitely die."

Hearing this, how could Qi Hui not understand, he just couldn't accept it for a while.If it is said that Meng Ping died in the process of fighting the boss, it would be better to accept it, but now he is clearly trapped to death alive inside!

How desperate and broken he must have been when he died, the phone rang so many times but he couldn't get out his call for help once, Qi Hui couldn't even imagine the scene.

"There should be corpses inside." Tang Cuo dropped another bombshell.

"How?" Jin Cheng asked.

"Every time and space begins with death, and it is the NPC who died, not the player. Meng Ping just happened to die here. But the time of 1916 is around the wedding, and there are dead people on such a lively and festive day. If you are the master, what would you do? Do?"

"Temporary concealment?"

Tang Cuo nodded.

If you want to hide it, you have to hide the corpse. In the mansion, the most suitable place to hide the corpse is the basement besides the attic.Ordinary customers will definitely not go to these two places.

Since Zhou Dahai said that there are traces of graffiti on the walls of the basement, there must be some hidden stories in the basement.This is why Tang Cuo prefers to have the corpse in the basement.

The two then went to the attic to confirm that the attic in 1916 was not locked at all, and there were sundries when you opened the door.And there is no butler's keychain in this time and space, but different contents are recorded on his blackboard.

Six o'clock: Preparations

Seven o'clock: breakfast

Nine o'clock: send the second young master away

twelve o'clock: lunch

Three o'clock: afternoon tea

Six o'clock: dinner

Nine o'clock: Clean up the clutter

It was a normal schedule, but Tang Cuo was particularly concerned about the last line.What clutter needs to be cleaned up at nine o'clock in the evening?For such a large family, it is unreasonable for the housekeeper to start cleaning up after nine o'clock.

"What time is it?" He asked Jin Cheng.

"28:[-]. Most of the cleaning up is to dispose of the corpses. If someone dies, the corpses can't always be left there." Jin Cheng said.

The implication was that the corpse Tang Cuo was looking for might not be there anymore.

What about ghosts?With such doubts in mind, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng checked other rooms one after another, mainly Yu Wangnian's study.At this time, Yu Wangnian is newly married, and when he and his wife are in perfect harmony, there is no way they will be separated.So he should live with his wife, and the study is just a study.

They found Yu Wangnian's diary in the study room. Although this diary did not have any content after 1916, it was also not damaged and filled in the missing parts.

1915. 10, 8

I have never seen such a girl like lilac, she must have taken my mind away, otherwise how could I be so sleepless?

1916. 2, 13

Wanwan's heart is not in my place, but I still can't give up.

It's just that I don't know what kind of man can be pitied by her?

1916. 7, 2

I finally moved Wanwan, and the sky won't disappoint me.

1916. 10, 7

The wedding is imminent, and a seriously ill woman who claimed to be her father's original spouse appeared in the mansion with a thin boy, hoping to let him stay.

This is really beyond my expectation, I must send someone back to my hometown to check it out.

1916. 10, 8

His name is Yu Wangri.

1916. 10, 10

Today's joy, tie the knot, I am overjoyed.

1916. 10, 11

I had no intention of killing her, I was afraid that her sickness would contaminate my Wanwan, and I would not be able to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the guests, so I told them to go to the basement to take shelter.

Just one night, she actually went.

The young Xu Shi couldn't accept his mother's death, he suffered a heart attack and was unable to save him.Although Dr. Lin was at fault, it was my fault. If I hadn't placed them in the basement, Dr. Lin would not have treated them so contemptuously.

It's too late to regret.

Yu Wangnian doesn't remember much in his diary, but these are the few that are useful, which roughly outline a complete story.Jin Cheng closed the notebook, sat leisurely on the chair, and tapped on the desk with his fingers, "After reading this story to the end, I never thought it would be a plan for revenge by the son of the original spouse."

If the attic resident is Yu Wangri, then he must return to the mansion incognito for revenge.There is a perfect explanation for the series of things that happened after that.

In 1916, although Yu Wangri suffered a heart attack, he must have survived.Yu Wangnian mistakenly thought that he was dead, and sent the body out of Yu's mansion, which also planted a disaster for the future.

Many years later, Yu Wangri disappeared and returned here as the young lady's piano teacher.He must have known that Lin Wan's true love was Yu Wangyue, so he deliberately seduced Lin Wan by virtue of his somewhat similar appearance to Yu Wangyue.

Lin Wan was deeply involved, and the outbreak of the two people's affair was probably leaked by Yu Wangri on purpose.

This incident was like a bomb, completely detonating the next series of tragedies in the mansion.What role did Yu Wangri play in it?

He seduced Lin Wan, but what Lin Wan planted on Yu Wangyue was said by her herself, and it was hate born of love.

The death of a servant girl is due to greed, and the maid is no different.

As for Dr. Lin, his arrogance and indifference indirectly caused the death of Yu Wangri's mother, so his death must have been written by Yu Wangri.At that time, the servant girl communicated with Yu Wangri in the attic under the guise of his wife's name, trying to frame his wife. Yu Wangri may have done something in it, which led to the doctor's death.

The toilet where the doctor was killed is very close to his attic.There is no bathroom in the attic, so if Yu Wangri wants to take a shower, he must go there, he has every chance to do something.

But it wasn't him who directly killed the doctor.

He was playing with people's hearts, and if he didn't kill a single person, he would be wiped out in the mansion, and he just sat quietly in the attic, watching the people below kill each other.

Finally, get out of your body.

Needless to say, there is danger in this, if one step is wrong, things may be exposed.His face similar to Yu Mochizuki is his best tool and also his biggest flaw.

Jin Cheng: "In other words, Yu Wangyue didn't know the truth until after his death. The NPCs in this dungeon can't see ghosts, so Yu Wangri won't guard against a ghost."

Tang Cuo nodded.

After Yu Wangyue knew the truth, she began to play the piece composed by Yu Wangri, hoping to remind those who are still alive.Too bad it didn't work.

"The problem now is—how to open the door."

The story is generally clear, but the door of Yu's mansion is still closed, and the door of the basement cannot be opened.Tang Cuo went through all the details of the story over and over again, and laid out the unused props one by one.

They are the music box and a key that Tang Cuo got from the butler's key chain in 1924.

There are still three doors that have not been opened, one is the door of the mansion, the other is the door of the basement, and the other is the door of the lady's room.

I had no choice but to keep looking.

Tang Cuo is now most curious about the key in his hand. This is the key he got when he first entered the dungeon, but he hasn't used it until now, which is so strange.

He searched and searched, walked back and forth in the mansion a few times, and suddenly, something fell out of him.He took a closer look, only to find that there was a hole in the windbreaker pocket.

What fell out was the amulet Chi Yan gave him, which is said to bring good luck.It was carried by the wind blowing in through the crack of the door, and fell into the bottom of the cabinet where the telephone was placed.

Tang Cuo bent down to pick it up, but when he looked up, he stared at the telephone above his head in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Jin Cheng asked.

"It's dark under the lamp." Tang Cuo immediately straightened up, picked up the phone and turned it over to see that there was a keyhole at the bottom of the phone.He showed Jin Cheng the keyhole, his eyes were rarely bright.

Jin Cheng smiled.It's no wonder that they almost turned Yu's mansion upside down, and they just ignored the phone that was always on, because it was dark under the lights.

Tang Cuo inserted the 1924 key and it fit perfectly.

In the dark compartment at the bottom of the phone, there is still a key hidden, the key to the gate of the mansion.It's quite logical to think about it carefully. Many people are used to putting the door key near the entrance, on the shoe cabinet or other convenient places.

The low cabinet for the telephone is also suitable, because it is only five or six meters away from the gate.

This is probably called being clever and being mistaken by cleverness. Tang Cuo never expected that the way to clear the level of this dungeon turned out to be so simple.

But they hadn't got the twelve movements yet, so it was impossible for them to leave now, so Jin Cheng put away the keys, and the two continued to look for ways to open the basement and the wife's room.

Tang Cuo looked at the clock in the living room, it was 10:30 in the evening.

"Where is Rong Yi now?"

"Probably still jumping sideways repeatedly."

"you sure?"

"Don't worry, he is not as smart as you, and his life is so difficult."

Jin Cheng always speaks ill of people behind their backs unscrupulously, which is very wicked.Then, he took out another chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Tang Cuo, "The corpse has been disposed of, what about the ghost?"

Tang Cuo took it, "Where did you come from?"

"It's on the coffee table in the living room, Yu Wangnian and Lin Wan's wedding candy, let's get some happiness." Jin Cheng said confidently.

You are not cursing me.

Tang Cuo complained, but the chocolate looked good and was imported, so he took it out and ate it.While eating, he answered: "The corpse is not there, so the ghost is not there. Yu Wangnian, the housekeeper, etc., the corpses were left in the mansion, and the doctor was dismembered. There must be a few sporadic remnants. Only Yu Wangri's mother, her body was destroyed. It's all cleared out."

Jin Cheng nodded, it made sense.

At this moment, Qi Hui stumbled up from the basement door, shouting loudly: "I saw the key! There is a key next to Meng Ping's body!"

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng hurried to the basement.

But at this moment, Jin Cheng frowned slightly.

In the blink of an eye, he summoned a mechanical bow, and turning around was a well-targeted arrow. "Hoo--" The long arrow streaked across the living room, passed through the gap of the chandelier, and pointed directly at the stairs.

Rong Yi's figure appeared there, and he dodged to avoid it.The pocket watch in his hand shook irregularly because of this, but his spellcasting was not interrupted.

Tang Cuo obviously felt that his body suddenly became heavy, and if the air had any substance, it was blocking his progress.At the last moment, Tang Cuo looked back at the clock on the wall.

"Dah." The second hand stopped moving.

Tang Cuo, Jin Cheng and Qi Hui were fixed on the stairs leading to the basement because time stopped.

But Rong Yi also spat out a mouthful of blood. He supported the handrail of the stairs, wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked pale when he looked up again.But his eyes were firm, and he passed the three of them without stopping at all, and he didn't even look at them more.

He went straight to the basement door, checked the location of the key through the crack of the door, and then took out a sword and hooked the key out from under the door.

Having got the key, he quickly tried the basement door.If he couldn't open it, he went straight to the second floor.

Tang Cuo couldn't move and watched him leave.And just as Rong Yi's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Jin Cheng suddenly winked playfully at Tang Cuo.

Qi Hui was still immersed in the grief of his companion's death and the astonishment of being frozen, seeing this scene suddenly, he wished he could go blind.

Every second of being frozen is like a year.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, maybe half an hour, Rong Yi finally came back.He walked in a hurry, his face seemed to be a little paler than before, and he quickly walked past the three to open the door.

Tang Cuo couldn't turn his head, but he could hear the sound of the key unlocking.

Jin Cheng smiled.

He moved his neck slowly, then turned around slowly, bent his bow, put up an arrow, and threatened with a smile: "Put down the key for me, if you don't let me go, I will beat you."

The second the voice fell, the stagnant time resumed its flow.

This time it was Rong Yi who stood still, his body was stiff, but it was only for a moment.He turned around calmly and said, "In my current state, I really can't trap you."

Jin Cheng: "So you're bullying me again."

What an innocent girlish tone you have.

Rong Yi frowned, his expression looked like he had eaten a ton of Coptis chinensis.

"You were on guard against me."

"That's because I'm smarter." Jin Cheng took out the one-time disrupting prop that Wen Xiaoming gave him before entering the dungeon, and threw it on the ground.Since we all know that the time master may enter the dungeon, how could he have no preparations, he didn't take it out before, it's just not the time.

Rong Yi gave up communicating with Jin Cheng. Talking to this person is even more uncomfortable than the failure of the dungeon.

Jin Cheng spread his hands and turned to Tang Cuo for comfort.

Tang Cuo ignored him, stepped forward and opened Rong Yi's halfway door.But before he walked in, he turned back and asked Rong Yi: "What's in Madam's room?"

Rong Yi: "You can see for yourself."

Tang Cuo: "I'm lazy."

Believe it or not, I'm now performing a show that vomits blood on the spot.

Rong Yi is really good-tempered, took a deep breath, and still explained: "In addition to the key to the basement in the madam's room, there is also her confession letter in the book. The day before the wedding, Yu Wangri ran into her and asked Yu Wangyue Confession, Yu Wangyue rejected her. The next day, the person in the basement was seriously ill, and it was Lin Wan who had a guilty conscience and called the doctor away on purpose, and the doctor followed suit, which killed him."

Tang Cuo understood, no wonder in this whole tragedy, the one who ended up the worst was his wife Lin Wan.

He was tortured day after day while lying on the hospital bed, and was killed by his own daughter. After death, he turned into a ghost and could not escape.

Thinking of this, Tang Cuo turned and walked into the basement.As far as the eye can see, there is a red musical score painted with blood on the wall that has not yet been wiped off.

Yu Wangri, the boy who was trapped in the basement with his seriously ill mother and had nowhere to ask for help, wrote this piece of music out of grief and indignation.

This may be his curse on the mansion.

The music score is already here, how to turn it into twelve movements?Thinking about it, Tang Cuo took out the only music box that hadn't been used yet.

At this moment, Jin Cheng stepped forward, "Win up the clockwork, put it on the ground and try it."

Tang Cuo complied.

In the next moment, the music box began to rotate, and the missing music finally sounded, which was "Song of Gods, Lambs and Crows".In the sound of music, the red music scores all over the wall seemed to come alive, and the blood trickled down the wall, slowly flowing into the bottom of the music box.

Scary and gorgeous.

On the rotating disc, holy light gradually emitted, and a thin page of paper emerged in the light.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the player for winning the sixth movement of the twelve movements!"
