A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

You Qingyu and He Xiangwu happened to both climb up from the river, so they bumped into each other as soon as they came up.

The scene of this dungeon is Fengyue Town a hundred years ago. Although the large geographical environment is no different from modern times, the cultural buildings are far from the town they are familiar with.Although the river to the west is still there, there is no sign of the farm at all.

Therefore, the two of them didn't know where they were at first, so they could only walk around, until they came near the central square, and they didn't recognize each other a little bit.The dolls are what they encountered in the middle of the journey.

According to You Qingyu, He Xiangwu had always behaved normally before, and there were backs and forths when talking with her.But when he approached the square, he bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out his sketchbook, and began to squat down and draw like mad, ignoring her calls.

Seeing the picture of a classical beauty gradually taking shape under his hand, You Qingyu began to get scared.This painting is completely inconsistent with his usual painting style, not to mention his current state, which is almost like a ghost.

After finishing the drawing, He Xiangwu tore off the paper and pasted it on the bulletin board. Seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, You Qingyu couldn't help but slapped him a few times.

Not knowing if this trick was useful, He Xiangwu immediately woke up.But his memory of this period in the middle has completely disappeared. He only remembers that they met the puppet on the road, and then jumped directly to the moment when they were woken up by the beating.

"..."

Fang Shiqing felt very bad, "By the way, on the way you guys came here, did he touch the water on purpose?"

"What water?" You Qingyu asked blankly, "There are many large and small puddles and ditches on the road, and we all went to see them."

They came out of the lake and appeared directly on the river, so she thought that others might also appear from different waters.

It can now be confirmed that the boss here has the ability to possess the player.This possession is silent, and during the possession it behaves just like the player usually does, the only exception being that it becomes very fond of touching water.

However, why did it suddenly start painting when it was attached to He Xiangwu?This behavior undoubtedly exposes it completely. This time the BOSS shouldn't feel stupid, and won't do completely meaningless things, right?

Xiao Fengdi looked at the painting, and suddenly asked: "Do you think this woman is very similar to the statue you keep?"

"Like it?" Fang Shiqing was startled, and took out the statue that came out of the mourning hall and placed it on the ground.

Although they are both female, the poses of the statue and the painting are completely different, and the colors are also so different that at first glance there is no resemblance at all.But if you look closely, you can find that their clothing styles and eyebrows are quite similar.

——Is this... implying something?

With a thought in his heart, he took a closer look at the painting, and as expected, he saw a little green on top of the woman's head—it was the shape of a certain hair ornament.

He immediately took out the hair ornament he had picked up from the water, searched for it on the statue's head, and found a small groove that could fit the hair ornament just right.

This is too kind, right? !

After experiencing all kinds of weird situations before, the clues in this book are so straightforward and thoughtful.

Fang Shiqing immediately took out the issuing card and carefully pinned it on.

then……

With a bang, the hair ornament suddenly collapsed and flew away.

Fang Shiqing was taken aback.You Qingyu let out a low cry, pointed at the statue and was speechless; its expression changed obviously, its eyes widened angrily, and it stared at Fang Shiqing.

"..."

"Brother Fang, she seems very angry," He Xiangwu muttered, "It seems that she doesn't like the, uh, head flower you gave her."

It seemed that something was wrong, Fang Shiqing couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Didn't you pick up a pair before?" Xiao Fengdi asked him, "Try another one."

"But don't they look the same? It feels like a pair." Even so, Fang Shiqing followed the boss's instructions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he pinned it on this time, the statue suddenly moved, and the originally angry expression softened at first, and then became a little sad again.

Then it suddenly raised its hand stiffly, grabbed its own head, and snapped it down suddenly, its neck was twisted in two.

Wood's head fell to the ground and turned around, looking shocking.Several people shrank their necks in unison.

It is indeed hollow inside.Xiao Fengdi stretched out his hand and carefully pulled out something from the cut of its neck, which looked like a book.

"Is this a comic strip?"

The players squatted together, turned on the lights to the brightest, and passed the booklet among each other.

This is indeed a comic book, the content is very simple.

"Lake xx was originally a calm water area. Many fishermen lived by the lake and relied on aquatic products for their livelihood. However, one day, a vicious monster suddenly appeared by the lake."

The pattern on this page is that a banshee with long hair and claws is floating on a fiery red lake under the setting sun, with a translucent body.

"The monsters occupied the waters recklessly and hurt the fishermen by the water. Everyone was miserable, but there was nothing they could do. At this time, a wise man passing by left this saying:

"The name of this monster is called Water Ghost, and it was formed from the resentment of people who drowned in the water. There is no other way to defeat it, but the living people can go down into the water and squeeze it out at the cost of their lives. the waters."

"In order to protect other people living here, a young girl stepped forward resolutely and jumped into the water. Her body sank to the bottom of the water and never came up again, and the monster named water ghost disappeared. It’s gone, and never appeared again. The lakeside has returned to its former calm.”

"However, after decades, the disappeared water ghost reappeared, even more vicious than last time. The old people were shocked to find that the water ghost's face was exactly the same as the girl who volunteered to sacrifice decades ago... ..."

"In desperation, in order to protect others, the second girl threw herself into the lake. Decades later, the third, fourth... Over time, this has become a tradition among fishermen."

"..."

How should I put it, this is really... a traditional story.

"It's basically comparable to the traditional legend of water ghosts." Water ghosts are the wraiths of drowned people. They must catch a double before they can leave the trapped waters and go to reincarnation.And the substitute caught by it will undoubtedly become the next water ghost.

"That is to say, this water ghost used to be an ordinary person who was used as a sacrifice?" You Qingyu asked hopefully, "This clue can be regarded as the boss leading us to find it. Does it hope that we can help?" it?"

"It may be, I hope we can be more conscious and take the initiative to push someone to jump into the lake as a sacrifice..."

From the first copy, almost all the books have this kind of hint of "abandoning a certain teammate can successfully escape".But until now, all of them are still alive, so for this kind of thing, just look at it.

After a while, Xiao Fengdi stood up: "Anyway, let's go first. This map seems to be very big, and there are still many places to explore."

Fang Shiqing struggled for a while, but still picked up the statue's head that fell on the ground, snapped it back around its neck, and finally put it in the props rack.

"Wait a minute," You Qingyu raised his hand and said, "Before we go, I have a question. Since the boss of this book can be possessed at any time, should we agree on a secret code or something, and make incisions from time to time? I don’t even know that the enemy is lurking by my side.”

"You don't need to make a special agreement, just talk about things in reality. No matter how much the BOSS pretends to be, it is impossible to know our real life situation."

But after saying this, Fang Shiqing also became worried, "We really need to check our identity regularly. Maybe someone has already been possessed by now..."

"No way." He Xiangwu, who had just been possessed, shivered, and immediately said, "It's not that I don't have it, I... I was still rewatching "The Beautiful Girl of ○" the day before I entered the game! Is this enough self-proof? ?”

"Uh, I seem to be playing the new "Student ○ Crisis 7"." This is You Qingyu.

"I'm playing "Boya"... How about you, boss? Do you have any proof?" Fang Shiqing turned his head and asked.

Xiao Fengdi lit a blue flame on his fingertips, something that a water ghost who lives on water would definitely not be able to do.

Fang Shiqing turned to Gu Jinhong at the end, a little speechless for a while.From the very beginning, this person had no sense of presence as before, just stayed aside, quietly listening to other people's discussions.

"..." Gu Jinhong apologized, "I can't think of anything to prove it at the moment."

"As long as you can prove your identity as a player," You Qingyu interrupted, "Uh, for example, what brand of mobile phone do you use?"

This question was obviously easy to answer, but Gu Jinhong remained silent.After a while, he said slowly, "I'm sorry, but... I can't remember at all."

"?!"

"I don't remember," he said. "I can't remember anything...before I came to this world."

"I know this kind of rhetoric will look suspicious," Gu Jinhong smiled wryly seeing that everyone else was looking like an enemy, "but I'm pretty sure that I'm not a possessed water ghost, it's just a problem with my memory .”

"Do you think this statement is credible?"

"No. But what I say is true."

"When did it start?" Xiao Fengdi looked very calm.

"...It's been like this since I appeared in the coffin. I still know you, and I vaguely realize that I am from another place like you, but I can't remember what my life was like before."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I thought it didn't matter."

"How is it possible!" You Qingyu couldn't help but increase his voice, "We didn't confess until we had to. How can we trust you in this situation?"

After realizing the hostility from others, the puppet standing silently behind immediately rushed over to block Gu Jinhong, acting like an old hen guarding its cubs, staring at the others.

"..." Gu Jinhong looked at Xiao Fengdi, "You should have a way to get rid of the possession, right? If you think I'm not trustworthy, you can use it on me directly."
