Be a boss in an escape game

An hour later, Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui arrived at the first floor of the hotel. As agreed, the old mayor was already waiting there.

In addition to Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui, there are four people who claim to help, the man in room [-], and Angelina in room [-]. The appearance of the other two people is very surprising, they are from room [-] young lovers.

The woman in the couple had vowed never to take part in this kind of thing before, but unexpectedly she came out. Although she looked a little scared and didn't let go of her boyfriend's hand from beginning to end, she still stood firmly here.After seeing Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui coming out, she kept looking at them, and glanced at the man in room [-] from time to time. As for Angelina, she had obviously ignored them.

The mayor glanced at everyone: "Only you? Okay, that's enough." He turned and walked out: "Follow me."

Angelina asked nervously, "Do you want to bury people now?"

The old mayor replied in a low voice: "The coffin must be prepared first."

Everyone followed the old mayor out of the hotel. It was already late at night. When they came, the town was pitch-black. At some point, lanterns were hung up, and a string of lanterns were hung on the door and wall of every house. , although the light was dim, it couldn't support the large number, but it really illuminated the dark path brightly.

The lantern lighting is very good, but the color of the lantern is wrong. Ordinary people hang lanterns, even if there is no festive event, the lanterns hung must be festive red, unlike the lanterns here, all of them are pale and have no color. In a row, it looked like the whole town was having a funeral.

"Are the lanterns hung every night?" Rong Zheng asked.

Everyone quietly waited for the old mayor's answer.

The old mayor asked: "You mean those lighting lamps? They are hung every day."

Rong Zheng stopped asking, and already had some guesses in his heart.

Angelina was a little anxious. She also hoped that this person would ask why it was a white lantern, but whoever thought about it didn't speak up anymore. She didn't have the guts to ask it herself, so she had to hold back.

The boy in the couple didn't think too much, and asked directly: "Why is it white? It's too unlucky."

The mayor stopped walking.

Angelina was startled, and quietly moved back two steps, ready to run away at any time.

Unexpectedly, the mayor only stopped for a moment, then continued to move forward, and answered the boy's question: "Auspicious? Unlucky? Young man, superstition is a bad idea."

Crowd: ...

Are you talking to me about superstitions in this obviously abnormal instance? ? ?

The mayor said: "The town is poor, has no money, can't afford electricity, and can only use lanterns for lighting at night. White paper is cheaper than red paper, and those lanterns are all made of paper."

Bai Leshui tilted his head to look at those lanterns. Sure enough, they were big and small, and their shapes were not uniform. They were immature handmade products.

However, if you use candlelight lanterns at night, aren't you afraid of fire?

Thinking of this, Bai Leshui suddenly realized that there was no wind in this town, and the hanging lanterns did not shake at all, so even though the open fire was lit, nothing happened.

Bai Leshui turned his head stiffly and continued walking.

He didn't know anything, he didn't notice anything.Well, that's it.

The old mayor took them out of the town and walked about [-] meters. Because there were not many houses around, there was no light for lighting. However, the moon is so bright today that it is not so dark that you can't see the road at all. Just stumbling like this.

I don’t know how far I walked, and I came to a small room. This house is very strange. Not only does it not live in the town, but it is a distance away from the town. The lanterns hanging at the door are also red. There was something white that didn't know what it was, and there was a piece of yellow paper pasted beside the door frame, but it was too dark to see what was on the yellow paper.

The old mayor stood five meters away from the door, tapped the ground with his crutches and shouted, "Old Yun, work."

There was a messy noise in the room, as if a person got up and wanted to come over, but accidentally bumped into many things.After waiting for a while, the door opened, and the people in the room looked outside vigilantly through a thin crack: "Who?"

This person is also very old, and there are vicissitudes in his voice.

The old mayor said, "I, the mayor."

"Who is behind you?"

The old mayor replied: "It's a guest from the train."

"Well, I see... What's the matter, let's talk." The person in the room still didn't open the door, and only asked through a gap.

The old mayor said, "Help make a coffin."

There was doubt in the man's voice: "The coffin? Who uses it?"

The old mayor: "There was a suicide on the train, and the body needed to be buried here."

"Oh. Can't you just wrap it in a straw mat? It's so much to ask for." The man said impatiently, "I'm different from you. I'm very tired and need to rest."

Seeing that the door was about to be closed, the old mayor gave up. He raised his foot and was about to take a step forward, but stopped in mid-air, as if he was afraid of something, he shrank back, and kept knocking on his crutches: "Let you do something!" Don’t even want to live, have you forgotten who rescued you back when you were in trouble?”

"It was your father who saved me, not you." The door opened again, with a familiar crack, "You just gave me two buns, don't use this in exchange for favors."

The old mayor was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The person inside the door thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let me help you once. Is the coffin a normal size?"

The old mayor: "Yes."

"I'll pick it up in two hours." The person inside the door said, "I'll help you, so you just restrain those guys and don't bother me. Recently, the rice is running low."

The old mayor: "I see." After speaking, he said to the people behind him: "I will ask you to pick up the coffin in two hours. Don't worry, he will be placed on the cart, just push it over."

Rong Zheng: "Is this the only one who helps?"

The old mayor shook his head: "How is it possible? There are too many things to be busy. You have to prepare sacrifices, shrouds and so on. They are all necessary for funerals. Nowadays, young people don't pay attention to these things. But here is still It is very custom-oriented. Next, you will run errands for me, go to the clothing store to buy shrouds, and go to the store to buy some fruit. Two hours later, you will bring the coffin and things and wait for me in the small woods on the west side of the town."

After the old mayor finished those few words, he walked straight into the town. It seems that he just brought them here just because the people who made the coffin lived too far away, so he took them all this way.

"Wait, where are the clothes shops and shops?" Angelina asked.

The old mayor didn't even look back: "It's in the town, go find it yourself." After speaking, the figure disappeared into the darkness.

The girl in the young couple curled her lips: "Can't you take us there by the way?"

No one answered, her boyfriend touched his arm: "It's a bit cold, anyway, let's go back to town first, I always think it's weird here."

"Oh. Let's go back then." The girl answered.

A group of people left, and no one saw that the door of the hut behind them opened again, and the eyes of the people in the room were fixed on their backs through the door.

The way back was not quiet, and several people were discussing where to go.

"It's more efficient to go together than to go separately." The girl in the couple suggested, "What do you think of us going in two groups?"

Angelina thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Yes, who will go with whom?"

"I'm not going." The man in room three suddenly said, everyone shut up and looked at him quietly.

"My work is done." The man in room three continued, "You decide for yourself, I'm leaving." He seemed to be talking to himself, and he didn't wait for anyone to reply after he finished speaking, swaying Walk forward leisurely.

The boy in the young couple asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Man No. [-] turned his head and smiled: "Say hello."

Angelina shivered.Watch the man disappear into the twilight.

"Let's leave him alone." Angelina tried her best to endure the expressions of fear and disgust.Originally, this person's identity as a human being was already exposed among the players. Angelina was quite flustered when she saw him appear in the team, but she felt relieved when the other party quit so simply.

"But in this way we are five people." The girl of the young couple hugged her boyfriend's arm tightly, "My dear and I will not be separated, who of you will be with us?" He glanced at Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui, but didn't even look at Angelina.

Angelina: "I'm on your team."

The girl in the couple, that is, Wen Yan finally reacted and looked at Angelina.

She didn't want to participate in this event. After all, burying corpses was scary at first glance. The person she arranged for herself was a clingy girlfriend, the kind who loves to act like a baby, so naturally she shouldn't be interested in such things.However, the additional customs clearance option was there, knowing that the two people in Box [-] and Box [-] might participate, no matter how disgusting it was, she also pulled her boyfriend (NPC) out.

Take this opportunity to get closer to see if you can find the tricks, if not, you will be eliminated, and there will always be winners.

The fugitive who can kill her younger brother is very likely to be a man, and Angelina, a woman, has long exposed her identity. A famous actress was excluded from her target early, so she was gentle from the beginning. He didn't pay attention to her.

She didn't expect that the person she had been ignoring all this time suddenly jumped out to find a sense of existence.

"Huh? But I hope a boy can help." Wen Yan said, "Because my boyfriend has not been very energetic recently, it would be more convenient for a few strong men to help."

Angelina who was brutally rejected: ...

She was just rejected by Rong Zheng and the others before, so she didn't dare to follow this time, for fear of being thrown away on the way, it's really hard to get along alone.I had no choice but to temporarily form a team with this young couple.Whether they are players or NPCs, there is intuitively no task conflict, and there is no danger.

I didn't expect to be rejected twice.

Why is she such a beautiful woman so annoying?No one wants to go anywhere?

The author has something to say:

Angelina: Could it be the face?

Not good enough?
