Be a boss in an escape game

"What should we do now?" The woman in the young couple asked in a low voice, holding her boyfriend tightly with her hands, her expression panicked.

Kang Xingyu: "Let's find a hotel first, isn't it fine to stay in a hotel?"

Angelina curled her lips: "Take this thing to the hotel? Don't be kidding, find a way to find where the morgue is."

"Didn't you say you can find the mayor? Where is the mayor?"

All of a sudden, the passengers were chattering and unable to unify their opinions.

"Hello, you guys." A hoarse voice sounded, obviously not belonging to anyone here.

The quarreling stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads to look at the old man on crutches who came here at some unknown time.

"Are you tourists on the train?" the old man asked, "Hungui Town welcomes you. I am the mayor here. You need to rest after the exhausted journey. I will take you to the only hotel in our town."

The mayor spoke to himself, then turned around and left with a cane.

"Wait." Angelina stopped him, "Actually, we still have one person, no, it's a corpse. He committed suicide on the train, and the purser asked us to bring the body over for burial. How do we do this now?" deal with?"

"Corpse?" The mayor turned around slowly, walked two steps forward with wide eyes and asked, "You just said corpse?"

Angelina was taken aback by the excited look of the old man: "Yes, what's the matter? Are corpses not allowed to be buried here? Or is it that outsiders are not allowed to bury in the town's cemetery?"

The mayor shook his head: "No, we don't have that kind of rule. We welcome anyone to join us, I mean to join our cemetery." The old man seemed very happy, and his fingers holding the cane kept moving back and forth.

Ma Letian: "Where are we going to move him now?"

"Move? No, no, no, you don't need to do anything, just stay here." The mayor said.

Rong Zheng: "Stay here?"

The mayor nodded: "Yes, I will ask someone to help carry him away later. Then I will choose a place to bury him. If you want to, you can come and help..."

"Not interested." Kang Xingyu replied immediately, "I want to go back to the hotel to rest early, is that okay?"

The mayor glanced at Kang Xingyu and smiled: "Of course, you are guests from afar."

"I want to help." It was Rong Zheng who spoke, "The purser wants us to take him to a safe burial, at least I want to confirm this scene with my own eyes."

This sentence raised the hearts of everyone present, and they all remembered what the purser said before.

But after all, he didn't say that he would not be allowed to come back if he didn't see the burial of the corpse with his own eyes, and this person's suicide was an accident, which was not within the scope of the game settings.It shouldn't matter.

Many people have this idea.

In the end, about half of the passengers decided they wanted to see someone buried.

What made Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui feel strange was that the guest in Room [-], who was clearly identified as a ghost, was also one of the members helping.Instead, it was Room [-]. As the son of a middle-aged man who was going to be buried, the boy expressed no interest in the funeral.

After seeing so many people choosing to help, the smile on the mayor's face faded a bit. He stared at the people present for a long time and said, "Come with me."

Rong Zheng took the lead to follow, and the others also came back to their senses. Following behind, Angelina looked at the body bag on the ground in confusion, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she left it alone.

As a weak woman, she doesn't have the strength to move such a heavy corpse, and she doesn't want to move it, even though she instinctively thinks that there might be some trouble after throwing the corpse here.

Everyone left, and at the edge of the town that became quiet and deserted again, only a body bag was left on the ground.After a while, the nearest door opened, and a black figure walked out with stiff movements, dragging the body bag on the ground into his room.

Rong Zheng, Bai Leshui and others were led away by the mayor for a long time, almost from one side of the town to the other, and then they came to an old three-story building.

The old man slowly pushed open the old door, making a creaking sound. Bai Leshui even suspected that the door would collapse in the next second.

"Come in." The old mayor said to the guests behind him.

A group of people followed in, and as soon as they stepped in, they smelled a very bad smell, which is the smell of old and decaying houses.

"Are the windows never opened here?" The woman in the couple pinched her nose and asked, "How many years have they been open? My God, is it really possible to live here?"

The mayor: "I can live in it. This is the best house in our town. It's a pity that the place is remote, and no one will come except the train you take."

"It doesn't matter where you live." Rarely did the old man in the second room say, "Give me a room, I want to sleep. I'm getting old, and I can't help being tired."

The mayor said: "Five rooms on the first floor, two rooms on the second floor, and one room on the third floor, you can choose whatever you want."

Bai Leshui: "Why are there different numbers of rooms on the three floors?"

Mayor: "When this house was built, it was not intended to be used as a hotel. It was a wealthy family in the city who wanted to live in seclusion here. The design is very interesting. The rooms on the first floor are the smallest, followed by the second floor. There is only one bedroom on the third floor, which is very luxurious. It's a pity that I haven't come to live in it."

Angelina: "Is it okay for us to live in like this?"

"It doesn't matter." The mayor seemed to have no intention of saying, "Anyway, they are all dead. This place belongs to the town. It's a pity that places where dead people don't like people, so they are used to entertain guests."

The young couple was horrified when they heard that, and the boy asked, "Could they have died here?"

"Of course not." The mayor smiled, "They all died in the city due to struggles, so they couldn't come and live here."

Ma Letian frowned: "Struggle? What kind of struggle? That will also kill people?"

Kang Xingyu stabbed the uneducated brother Ma Letian, and whispered a term that could not be mentioned.

Unlike Ma Letian, who was admitted to a university at random and then came out to do business and focus on making money, Kang Xingyu had just graduated from university and happened to be studying modern history, so he was extremely sensitive to these two words.If the background of this copy is from the original world, then this guess is likely to be true.

Ma Letian stopped talking.

Everyone fell silent, and Bai Leshui had a doubt in his heart. That period was many years ago, and the trains they took were advanced in technology, which meant that at least the era they lived in now should be modern with advanced technology. Then this house How old is it?At least 50 years.

The mayor: "The keys to all the houses are inserted in the door, each has two keys, where to live and who to live with, you allocate it yourself."

Shan Qiaoqiao, who had been silent for a long time, laughed when she heard it, and said to Kang Xingyu, "Let's live together. Just like on the train."

Kang Xingyu hurriedly said: "No need. Er...I mean it's very inconvenient. I live with him." Kang Xingyu pulled Ma Letian, and said to Shan Qiaoqiao: "I think there should be a bathroom here, you and We lived together and couldn't take a shower, but now we live by ourselves and can wash well. Don't you like taking a bath the most?"

Shan Qiaoqiao's smile disappeared, and she said lightly, "Oh." Taking a bath?What it hates most is water.Anyway, after entering the house, it will not take a bath.

Ma Letian acquiesced to Kang Xingyu's words and asked, "Where do we live?"

Kang Xingyu thought about it for a while, and the first place where he was rejected and could not live was the third floor. After all, there was only one room, and it would be difficult to escape if something happened. If Shan Qiaoqiao chooses to go to the second floor if there are two rooms on the second floor, wouldn't they Living next to the monster, so the choice is only the last one, Kang Xingyu replied: "The first floor."

The young couple also immediately indicated that they wanted to go to the first floor, of course it was a room.The old man in the second room claimed that he was too old to climb stairs. No matter how luxuriously decorated this kind of old house was, it couldn’t get rid of the fact that it didn’t have an elevator. Naturally, the female nanny shared a room with him.

The boy in room [-], who lost his father, smiled and carried the doll to the second floor, without any intention of discussing the allocation with other passengers. Angelina thought for a while, and decided to follow the crowd and live on the first floor.Shan Qiaoqiao smiled and said that even if she was alone, she would like to stay on the first floor.

Then the five rooms on the first floor were immediately filled.

The only ones who didn't know where to live were the man whose identity was taken over by a ghost in the third box, as well as Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui.

"I'll go to the second floor." The man in the third box said in a low voice, he went upstairs and lived next to the boy in the seventh box.

Rong Zheng: "There's only one room left."

Bai Leshui: "Yes."

Rong Zheng: "We live together?"

Bai Leshui: ...

What other options do I have?

He has no objection to living together, but it makes people feel a little uncomfortable when there is no choice.

There are eight boxes on the train, and this hotel has eight rooms. Who would have thought that the three people in box six could have a split.

Probably because they knew that what they were doing was not authentic, Kang Xingyu and Ma Letian in Room [-] slipped away very quickly.When the others were thinking about going back to their rooms, the mayor who was about to leave paused, turned around reluctantly and said, "Those who want to help bury that person, I will come over in an hour and help me with things." .” After speaking, he opened the door and left.

The girl in the young couple muttered: "Who will go." She dragged her boyfriend away.

The others also completely dispersed.

Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui walked to the third floor. The third floor is equipped with toilets and a restaurant kitchen. Compared with the first floor, which only has a row of doors, this place is more comfortable and more like a home than a hotel.The bedroom is very large, with a soft double bed and a huge couch sofa, as well as old-style lamps and calligraphy and paintings on the walls.

As a comfortable room, there is basically everything here except for the commonly used major appliances.

There are many books on the shelf in the corner.

Bai Leshui was still a little awkward after following Rong Zheng into the room, but Rong Zheng walked to the bookcase naturally and started flipping through the books.

Bai Leshui: "What are you doing?"

Rong Zheng quickly looked at the title of the book and flipped through the content: "Huh? Looking for clues. The book is the easiest place to find information. Here it is." He took out a black and white photo from a book, because of the age, this This photo has started to yellow.

Bai Leshui looked over curiously. It was a photo of a family of three. The background was a luxurious room interior. The young couple were sitting on chairs. The man was wearing an old-fashioned suit, and the woman was wearing a cheongsam and a fur shawl. The boy in the middle, who is about ten years old, is wearing a very ordinary coat and trousers, and he is still holding a handful of flowers in his hand.

Turn the photo over and you can see the time written in pen: 1956.3.12

Rong Zheng put the photo back and continued to search for other books, but found nothing else.

Bai Leshui sneered, turned and left.

Rong Zheng immediately came back to his senses: "Are you angry?"

Bai Leshui: "No."

"I'm really angry." After thinking for a while, Rong Zheng remembered a question that he almost ignored, "Could it be because of the woman I met in the hotel?"

"No!" Bai Leshui who was about to lie down and rest immediately got up and said, "I won't be angry because of this."

Rong Zheng: "Actually, she's just..."

"Can I not mention it?" Bai Leshui glared at him.

Rong Zheng: "..."

Bai Leshui turned around and lay down, and asked after a while, "Are you really planning to continue helping me?"

Rong Zheng walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. Bai Leshui's back was facing him, so he felt a little nervous on one side of the bed suddenly.I heard Rong Zheng say, "I want to be with you."

Bai Leshui: ...

The man was as straightforward as ever.

"I know you don't want to hear it, but I need to explain clearly. I don't want this to be an obstacle to my pursuit of you." Rong Zheng climbed onto the bed, lay down beside Bai Leshui and whispered, " I know you and I are opposites, but I want to know about you. So I asked a lot online, and then I met a player who knew a lot about it, and I made an appointment with him, and when I booked the hotel, I booked it There." Rong Zheng concealed the word ghost, but he knew that the person in front of him could understand.

Bai Leshui: ...That's really a fate.

Rong Zheng: "Meeting that woman is an exception. Because she knows a little bit of news, in exchange, I also booked a room for her, because she wants to experience the feeling of a luxury hotel. It is easy for us to earn game currency, but not everyone As powerful as us, she is very poor, so she exchanged news with me." As for the woman's attempt to hook him up, Rong Zheng dare not mention it now.

Bai Leshui told himself that he didn't want to hear it, it didn't matter, but his ears were pricked up, and he didn't miss a word.

"Including buying her a diamond necklace?" Bai Leshui asked.

"Diamond necklace?" Rong Zheng was stunned, "What diamond necklace?" After thinking for a while, he remembered that he took a woman to a jewelry store. That jewelry store mainly sold diamonds, and the signboard outside was also shiny. .

Rong Zheng blushed, he really wanted to ask how long you watched it, and when did you see it?

"She wanted it. I couldn't give her that kind of thing, just bought the cheapest silver necklace to fool me." Rong Zheng quickly explained, "Actually, I went in to choose something for you. I also brought... "

Bai Leshui would turn around.

Rong Zheng got up and took out his pockets, fumbled for nothing, and after a long silence, he suddenly remembered that because of the setting of the dungeon, he didn't have any of his belongings when he entered the dungeon, and he also changed his clothes, and the specially bought jade string was naturally not on him either. .

Bai Leshui turned back angrily.

He was so stupid to wait for such a second!

"The dungeon doesn't allow me to bring things in." Rong Zheng said helplessly, "When the dungeon comes out, I'll give it to you myself?"

Bai Leshui: "No need, I don't want to see you!"

Rong Zheng naturally knew Bai Leshui's concerns. He stroked his chin and thought for a while and said, "Then I'll hand it over to the counter, and let the counter hand it over to you, okay?" The service staff at the counter are all NPCs, so there's no need to worry about them at all. Will be ignorant of things.

Bai Leshui: ...

He was a little moved.

"Is your system number 1069?" Rong Zheng asked in a low voice.

Bai Leshui suddenly turned around and stared at him with wide eyes, with an expression of 'how do you know'.

Rong Zheng smiled: "After the copy is released, I will check out and hand over the things to the counter. You can see that I will go to the counter to pick it up after I leave. I will ask to hand it over to 1069 by name, and you can take it away."

Bai Leshui: "How do you know my number?"

Rong Zheng lied casually: "Didn't I be your undercover agent? At that time, it was in the default team formation state. Just ask the customer service system to help you check the records."

Bai Leshui clicked his tongue and believed it.

Rong Zheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly remembered that he had just arrived at the airport after leaving the hotel, and it seemed that he had to come back first after the copy was released.

Bai Leshui asked again: "Have you found your target yet?"

Rong Zheng immediately came back to his senses: "Well, the two people in Room [-]."

Number four is the young couple. Bai Leshui asked incomprehensibly, "Why, shouldn't it be number six? Or number eight."

No. [-]'s role as players is not concealed at all. It may be that they are not experienced enough, or their minds are not careful enough. In short, all players who entered the instance already know about their role as players.Although No. [-] didn't expose that much, he could more or less guess a little bit. As for the couple in room [-], Bai Leshui always thought that they were irrelevant players.

Rong Zheng: "Hidden very deep, likes to pretend to refuse to cooperate, hidden players who are wary of everyone else."

He has seen people talking about it on the website, such players always like to go alone and do not team up with anyone.As long as there are conditions, he will disguise himself as an NPC and do tasks quietly. He is a person who makes a fortune silently.

It is difficult for such people to mix in the early stage, but later on they will feel like a fish in water. There are many such players in intermediate and advanced dungeons.As long as they don't hinder themselves, or the tasks are opposite, basically many players don't bother to talk to such people.

However, Rong Zheng is different. He is now helping Bai Leshui score points. Compared with Ma Letian and the others who can observe every move on the surface, this kind of hidden players makes Rong Zheng more vigilant, so he plans to solve it first. drop them.

Bai Leshui: "Where's the other person?"

Rong Zheng: "That's not it."

He has observed and tried the male in the couple, and he is sure that it is an NPC. If it is also a player, the actor's level of participation and acting skills will lose to the actor.

Bai Leshui: "What are you going to do?"

Rong Zheng: "Let's see the situation. I don't know the situation of this site yet." After finding out, it's time to dig a hole for someone.

On the first floor, in the room of the young couple in Box No. [-].

"It's a bit dirty here." The boy wiped the table with his index finger in dissatisfaction, then turned to his girlfriend and said, "Is it the wrong place to come to?"

Wen Yan didn't speak, and looked down at the card in his hand.

"It's not bad to stay only one night and leave." The boy said lying on the bed, "You should reward me well after this train ride. If you hadn't insisted on coming, I wouldn't choose this kind of place."

Wen Yan was thinking about the content of her mission.

Seeing his girlfriend looking down at the void, the boy frowned and walked over to hug her shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Wen Yan came back to her senses, the card almost fell to the ground with a shake of her hand, she put all the things in the bound package with a move of her mind, and asked, "Huh? What?"

Boy: "You've been weird since getting on this train."

Wen Yan was startled, and showed a gentle smile: "What's wrong, am I the same as before?"

The boy pursed his lips, looked at Wen Yan's smooth face, and was about to kiss him.

Wen Yan suddenly turned sideways to hide. Seeing the dissatisfied frown of the boy, Shan smiled and said, "The activities on this train are not as fun as I imagined, and recently... I'm a little nervous."

"Are you still having nightmares?" the boy asked.

Wen Yan: "Huh? A nightmare?"

The boy rested his chin on his hand: "Yes, it will be his death day in a few days. I know you are in a bad mood. That's why I haven't touched you recently."

Thinking that they are a couple, Wen Yan blushed a little. It is true that although the man often hugged and hugged since getting on the train, he did not do anything more in-depth. The first time, but... the death day?

"Whose death date?" Wen Yan asked.

The boy's eyes widened: "Have you forgotten the anniversary of your brother's death? It's been almost a year, and I was very happy to say that I would attend our wedding, but the fugitive who killed your brother has not been caught yet."

Wen Yan immediately came to her senses, she remembered the additional item in her mission: she was traveling with her lover, but by chance you met a person you hate so much, you decided to make him disappear completely on this train.

Wen Yan has never been clear about who he should hate so much, but now he guesses that it is the fugitive who killed his brother.

As long as the additional items are completed, she can advance and leave the instance.

So the question is, who will the fugitive be?
