If you refuse a marriage proposal from a thriller NPC, you will die

After his father finished saying this, he never took his eyes off the two of them, and kept staring at their reactions.

At this moment, his face looked a little stiff under the candlelight, like a zombie.

"No." Jiang Chu wondered, "What happened, father?"

His father's eyes flicked to him.

"Really not?" He said slowly.

"Father." Jiang Chu worried, "Have you lost something at home? Could it be a thief?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"No, of course not." He murmured, showing a smile, "There will be no burglars at home, our home is very safe."

His eyes were on Zheng Zhize who kept shrinking back, and he clearly used a teaching tone, but it seemed to be full of warning: "Children, you must never go where you shouldn't go."

"I can't lose you..." He looked away, and his hand holding the candlestick trembled.

"If you don't listen to me and touch something you shouldn't touch, even I can't save you."

Suddenly there was a muffled bang from the ceiling, as if something had fallen to the ground.

The two were shocked, and the father immediately stood up in panic.

"You guys have a good rest first." He twitched the corners of his lips, "You have to go out tomorrow."

He put up the candlestick, and the swaying lights stretched his shadow long, like a snake entangled on the wall, and then walked out under the gaze of Jiang Chu and the two of them.

The moment the door closed, all three breathed a sigh of relief.

three people?

Zheng Zhize froze for a moment, then turned around and saw his younger brother nestled in his little bed.

He still remembered how wicked the kid was in the morning, and immediately turned pale with fright: "Why are you here!?"

"This is also his room." Jiang Chu said, and then the child jumped out of the bed and threw himself into his arms.

Jiang Chu caught it subconsciously, and immediately looked into the child's eyes, which were normal black, he was relieved.

The child just hid quietly aside, but now he looked extremely frightened, and the hand holding Jiang Chu's sleeve trembled a little.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chu squatted down and looked at him at the same level, "What are you afraid of?"

Zheng Zhize touched his beating heart: "Don't ask such a scary question!"

The child stretched out his trembling hand behind him.

There is only one door behind them.

Zheng Zhize was puzzled: "A door? Or a mirror?"

The younger brother shook his head, and the look of fear on his face became more and more obvious.

But no matter how the two of them questioned, he couldn't tell why.

Small children have a particularly keen sense of oddities, and they instinctively know what danger is, just as he knows it is safe to stay with his brother and he knows not to tell about someone knocking under the floorboards.

Now he is just instinctively afraid, but he dare not say anything.

Jiang Chu and the child sat on the same bed, and Zheng Zhize sat across from him, trying his best to comfort their brother.

There is only one electric light in the room, and candles are usually used for lighting. The current of the electric light is not stable, and in this era, the cost of electricity is higher than that of candles.

In order to alleviate the younger brother's fear, they turned on the candles and the electric lights, and his complexion improved.

"Father..." Zheng Zhize was about to speak when he saw Jiang Chu put his index finger on his lips, signaling him to keep silent.

Then quietly pointed to the door.

Zheng Zhize seemed to be poured over by a basin of cold water.

That's right... If father left, why didn't he hear footsteps just now?

He also reacted quickly, and immediately changed the subject of what he just said: "Father said that he will go out tomorrow morning, do you know what to do?"

Jiang Chu: "I don't know, but I hope it won't rain tomorrow."

They said a few more casual words and made the younger brother laugh, only then did they hear light footsteps leaving the door.

The two of them listened intently, and heard footsteps... they actually walked down the stairs?

Mom and Dad's room is also on the second floor. What is he doing on the first floor now?

But soon, they heard footsteps again as if they had reached the first floor, and they walked back slowly.

Like sleepwalking.

And the sound of father's footsteps is not as heavy as usual.

The girl was listening to the same movement in another room.

Except for the elder sister who was reading at ease and the younger brother who was sobbing, everyone held their breath listening to the footsteps.

until the footsteps disappeared.

Jiang Chu said in a very low voice, "On the third day, diary, there were footsteps downstairs."

Zheng Zhize: "But the time is wrong. The third day's diary should record the events of the second night. What happened tonight should be recorded in the fourth day's diary."

Jiang Chu also showed a puzzled expression: "But we didn't hear anything last night."

Zheng Zhize stopped talking immediately.He thought it might have something to do with the shadow last night.

But Jiang Chu didn't know that he wouldn't say it, after all, that black shadow seemed to Jiang Chu...

Jiang Chu recalled: "The diary of the fourth day is... There are ghosts wandering in the house."

Zheng Zhize lay on the door of the room, listening to the movement outside, he could only hear very faint voices.

Makes the scalp tingling.

"No matter what." Jiang Chu said, "Judging from the diary, we were safe for at least the first five days."

Zheng Zhize looked at him: "Have you got an idea?"

Jiang Chu patted the child's head, and seeing the child stop being afraid, he said in a low voice, "It's definitely not a simple murder case recurring."

After all, those dolls haven't moved yet.

There was nothing to say all night, maybe a lot of things happened during the day, and it was calm tonight.

The next morning, they suddenly learned that the girl was going to separate from them.

Jiang Yiyi's eyes widened: "Why? Didn't we go together?"

It was rare for my father to dress up formally today, but he was still unkempt and his hair was messy and obviously not taken care of.

He showed a sad expression: "It's not safe for your mother to stay at home alone. I hope the little man in our family can stay and protect her."

Zheng Zhize didn't want Ren Ya to leave either. He was about to speak when his father stopped him: "Needless to say, I've already made up my mind."

Zheng Zhize could only keep his mouth shut, feeling upset inside.

Mother patted their shoulders to comfort them, but Zheng Zhize was not comforted, but felt that the place she had patted felt a little chilly, so he quickly took a step back.

Mother's hand was in the air, and her eyes were lowered.

"It's really not good." She laughed again, pulled Jiang Chu beside her and clapped her hands, "You're still sensible."

Jiang Chu looked at Zheng Zhize, shook his head indistinctly, then lowered his head to comfort the woman hypocritically.

"You also have to learn to be considerate of us." Father took off the hat on his head, revealing a pair of haggard eyes, "Recently, there are always some disturbing places in the house."

"Maybe these dolls look too beautiful." He sighed, "The longer I look at them, the weirder they feel. I think it's better to send some of them away as soon as possible."

Jiang Chu nodded slightly: "Then we will stay and watch the house."

Jiang Yiyi gave her a thumbs up behind her father's back to reassure him.

Winking and acting has always been her strong point.

They don't seem to be able to get out without the NPC's permission.Although usually the two adults are busy with their own business and rarely see people, but once they get close to the iron gate of the small courtyard, they will appear immediately.

It is enough to do this kind of experiment once, and they will not do it a second time.

The house became very quiet for a while, the younger brother saw Jiang Chu from the window, and ran towards him staggeringly.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chu lowered his head, looking at the child who grabbed his clothes, not reaching his waist.

"It's... my friend." He stretched out his small hand and gestured in the air.

There are only four people in this house now, the mother is drying the bedding outside the window, Zheng Zhize is missing, and the child's voice is very clear.

"What's wrong with your friend?" Jiang Chu saw that his hair was messed up and his obsessive-compulsive disorder was attacking, so he started to help him comb it one by one.

The child obediently played with him.

It was a long time before he said in a joyful voice, "My friends... tell me stories all the time."

Jiang Chu: "Do you want me to take you to see him?"

"No." He raised his head, his eyes sparkled, and he said in an innocent voice, "Don't you know he's been here all this time?"

Jiang Chu suddenly combed a lock of hair.

"Where is...?" he asked.

"Behind you."

Jiang Chucai didn't believe that there was someone behind him.

All around were staring at him vaguely, there were more than a dozen dolls left in the house, and their eyeballs were all rolling at the moment.

"He asked you to come to me?" Jiang Chu lowered his head and asked the young brother.

He said: "That's right." He didn't feel weird at all, he was just happy that he had completed the task of a good friend, "He said, he wants to see you."

"Then how can I meet him?" Jiang Chu stared into the child's eyes.

These eyes are pure and natural, without the slightest haze, Jiang Chu expected to see things behind him from his eyes, but failed.

The child seemed to be stopped by the question, and patted his head blankly.

However, his eyes never moved away from one place.

"He said, if you don't like him." The child's voice dropped, "Just a bowl of water is enough."

There is a saying in ancient times, when you level a bowl of water in a cemetery, if you accidentally look directly at the water when you lower your head, you will see corpses or ghosts lying on your shoulders in the tomb, and if you don’t pour the water out immediately, your neck will rot. It became heavier and heavier, and finally was crushed.

There is also a saying that when a person walks too much at night, his neck will become heavier and heavier, and finally he has to bend it to [-] degrees or more. At this time, he must put a bowl of water on the ground, so that he can see his neck riding countless corpses.

Either way, it didn't end well.

Jiang Chu did not comment on this method, but asked him: "Then there is another choice?"

The dolls around shook their eyes again, and the young brother smiled sweetly: "If you like him too, just take down the attic one..."

His last words disappeared in his throat, only mouthing.

Then, as if acting like a baby, she buried her head in Jiang Chu's clothes.

The doll's eyeballs returned to normal and became dull and dull.Jiang Chu could only feel another gaze piercing his back, and he knew who it was without guessing.

The mother must have been watching them around the corner.

It seems that starting today, the two NPCs began to monitor them vaguely, as if they knew that the children had something to hide from them.

Jiang Chu asked in a low voice: "Do you like your mother?"

The child pursed his lips, and faltered, "I think she treats me very well..."

His mother was really good to him, but he didn't know how he felt about his mother.

Jiang Chu patted his head: "Since when did you pester my sister?"

The child bit his finger: "When we started moving..."

That is to say, from the time he moved, he felt that something was wrong with his mother.

The youngest child usually pleases his mother the most, and is also the most clinging to his mother, but he is more willing to cling to his eldest sister and brother, and even that invisible friend.

Maybe the "invisible friend" knew something, but he didn't say it, just told some plausible stories.

"Did I do something wrong?" He lowered his head, "I can feel my mother's sadness, shouldn't I be like this..."

"You should trust your older sister." Jiang Chu thought of the elder sister who was so stern, and said sincerely, "She will definitely not harm you."

Not to mention the fact that the younger brother made friends out of nothing, he discussed with the child and asked him to find an opportunity to cling to his mother and steal the key from her waist.

Ren Ya and Jiang Yiyi noticed yesterday that mother likes to keep the keys in a conspicuous place, but one key is hidden in the belt of the apron, no matter how you look at it.

With such an emphasis, it could only be the key to the attic.

The child agreed without hesitation, and only asked what his brother wanted to do.

After all, he is the brother my friend likes.

Jiang Chu has a C-level card in his hand, which can copy an item no larger than the size of the palm. The copy is valid for 3 minutes, and the key can be copied and put back secretly. This is safer and will not attract the attention of NPCs.

The child successfully attached himself to his mother at noon.The mother was really delighted at the youngest child's closeness, with a loving smile on her face all the time, she even held him on her lap so that he could dip in jam and soy sauce.

Zheng Zhize appeared at the dining table with an ugly face.

He didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the lunch on the table, and he was like an eggplant beaten by frost.Jiang Chu asked him what was wrong, Zheng Zhize licked the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "The mirror can't be removed..."

Jiang Chu didn't speak.

"I figured out why only our room has a mirror." He hated it. "It's not that they don't want to remove it, but they can't remove it at all."

"Okay, stop complaining." Jiang Chu whispered, "We are being watched."

Zheng Zhize opened his mouth wide: "What's going on?"

"Tomorrow is the fifth day, probably in these few days, we may not be able to get out of this courtyard." Jiang Chu explained the contents of the diary they saw that day, "Although the reason is not clear, it is obvious that the NPCs are getting nervous today .”

"What are you talking about?" The woman's gentle voice sounded at the right time, "Can I listen?"

Jiang Chu winked: Look.

Zheng Zhize replied immediately: "No, we are talking... this rice is really delicious."

As he spoke, he took two mouthfuls of rice.

The child stole the key silently, and he gave the key to Jiang Chu after his mother left.

After Jiang Chu copied it with the item card, another key appeared in his hand, with a countdown of 2:59 displayed on it.

It seemed that the NPC couldn't see the key copied from the item card. The child tilted his head to look at him, as if he didn't understand why he had to return the key after getting it.

Jiang Chu began to coax the child again: "Be good, listen to brother, don't ask why."

I won't tell you even if I ask.

His title of social leader is not for nothing.

Zheng Zhize watched Jiang Chu leave, swallowed his saliva, and followed.

In fact, although the number of people who play Noah is large, there are only a very small number of people who are naturally suitable for this kind of game.Most of them are just ordinary players like him.

Because Noah is a completely real horror game, even the feeling of death is retained by 30.00%. Most people just come in for a momentary excitement. With the existence of strategies, at least anyone with a little courage can get started in the game smoothly.

However, if some people are obsessed with one pass, it means that they only have one life in Noah.

Their greatest reliance has become their terrible intuition and almost daring and crazy guesses.

Someone on the Internet once discussed that compared to ordinary players, they are more like Noah's swimming fish, and these people are lunatics with strict reason.

And Jiang Chu obviously belongs to this category of people.

They stood at the door of the attic, and the cross was hanging above their heads.

"You..." Zheng Zhize hesitated and said, "You want to take off the cross? Will you accidentally release the contents?"

He felt that there was a reason why the family used the cross to suppress evil.

Jiang Chu took out the key, revealing the countdown on it: "No, I plan to go in directly."

Zheng Zhize: I am stupid.

He seemed to have given up on thinking. Anyway, he was a rookie, so he might as well follow others.

Just drive it, you won't die anyway.

The last three words that the younger brother said to Jiang Chu were the cross, expressly indicating that he should take down the cross.

But Jiang Chu was more direct, he planned to go in directly.

In fact, he has his own plans.As long as the cross hangs here, even if he really opens the door, the male doll will not be able to escape.

He will have more time to guess the whole story.

The door opened without hindrance, and the key was inserted into the rusty lock unexpectedly smoothly.

A room narrower than the dark room appeared in front of the two of them.

Zheng Zhize lost his voice and said, "People..."

No, not exactly human.

There is a high armchair in the room, on which sits a male doll that Jiang Chu is very familiar with.

He folded his hands in front of him and leaned his head on the back of the chair, as if he was just taking a quiet nap.Behind it is a whole wall of candles, which looks like some kind of mysterious ceremony.

The two stepped in, closed the door gently, and then began to look at the room.

There are exactly the same runes on the wall here as in the dark room, except that many crosses are missing.

Jiang Chu noticed that the doll was holding a letter in its folded hands. He carefully pulled it out, turned it over, and saw the words "Contract" written on the front of it.

【I am open to every contract】

【You want my power?Can】

【As long as you sign this contract, you can take it away at will】

【So why should I know what you do with it? 】

In the next second, he felt that his eyes were blurred, and he was suddenly pulled into the sideline of the game.

He saw two crazy men and women signing the agreement with joy on their faces.

They happily arranged a room full of candles, lit the contract on the fire, and as their eyes changed, the male doll sitting on the high armchair opened his eyes.

Afterwards, they fled out with ashen faces, and locked the room almost irrationally.

"You stole it."

Although the door was firmly locked, they could still hear the voice, and their faces turned paler every time they heard it.

The woman covered her ears hysterically, and slowly slid down against the wall.

She raised a morbid smile: "No, I won't..."

"We deserve it."

The branch line of the game is terribly short, and it ends here.

Jiang Chu was confused when he saw it for the first time.

In particular, a man and a woman appearing in the sideline all had faces he didn't recognize.It is neither the face of anyone in the Yun family in the background of the system, nor their parents.

But the system will never prompt information that has nothing to do with the game, so the question is what kind of contract the couple signed.

How about he also sign a name?

Zheng Zhize saw Jiang Chu pick up the pen on the box, and immediately called him: "Wait a minute! What are you doing?"

The pen in Jiang Chu's hand stopped: "I want to see the effect after signing the name."

Zheng Zhize: "In case something happens..."

Jiang Chu: "What are you afraid of, anyway, you can do it all over again."

Zheng Zhize shut his mouth and looked at him.

He couldn't believe that this man thought so.

The puppet clicked and turned its head slightly, with the reflection of Jiang Chu reflected in its eyes.

Jiang Chu wrote as soon as he said, and immediately wrote down his name in this game.

……

Nothing happened.

Jiang Chu looked at the paper in his hand suspiciously, and suddenly remembered that the paper seemed to be burned in the branch line?

He stood up and lit the contract with the flame of a candle, and then waited quietly for it to burn to ashes.

Still nothing happened.

Jiang Chu sighed, so disappointed.

"Let's go," he said.

Zheng Zhize wanted to leave a long time ago. He didn't think he could find more information here, and he was afraid that if his mother found out that they ran in.

After they went out, they went straight downstairs and ran back to the room in one breath.

Jiang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyes to look at Zheng Zhize, only to find that his jaw suddenly fell off as if out of joint.

He was stunned: "You..."

"Huh?" Zheng Zhize turned his head, "What's wrong with me?"

In Jiang Chu's eyes, Zheng Zhize's jaw became a jointed jaw, and a clear joint ball appeared on his neck.

This change was really surprising, but Jiang Chu was not surprised at all.

He had a feeling, as if he could make the person in front of him into a jointed form.
