I'm delivering food in an escape game

"It's not impossible."

Fan Wan wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the younger brother, who said: "The game is not over yet, let's make a quick decision."

Fan Wan nodded, anyway, the possessed boss of this game can only kill people by trying to get people to extinguish the candle, and it will not cause substantial damage outside the game, so he picked up the candle and protected it carefully, although at this time They had more time, but when Fan Wan held the candle, he felt very uncomfortable.

He threw away those thoughts and returned to thinking: "It stands to reason that the Night of Resurrection has been successfully started, and a new plot has appeared, but why didn't the sister's undead appear? There is no way to ask questions like this."

"Have you visited that sister's room? The little brother asked.

"Not yet, not yet."

"Go to that sister's room and have a look, maybe there are new clues." The little brother said.

The three returned to the dilapidated house in the backyard.

Fan Wan hurried away impatiently, the younger brother pulled him back by his collar and said, "Go slowly, and give me the candle. Be careful."

The little brother usually always accommodates Fan Wan's impatient walking speed, but not now, after all, he is accompanied by a person who is not sure if he is possessed by the boss, so it is better to be careful.

The younger brother took the lead, and they entered the sister's room one after the other.

I took a photo along the wall, and as expected, a new silhouette appeared on the wall.

In the shadow of the wall, it seemed that my sister was sleeping on her side on the bed, but judging from how deeply she was sleeping, it was estimated that it was late at night.

Immediately afterwards, two figures crept into my sister's room.

Who is it in the middle of the night?

Fan Wan looked carefully, the people who came were the old woman and the wife.

It seemed that they had malicious intentions. I saw them quietly sneaking into the room, moving very lightly, approaching the bedside where my sister slept. I thought they wanted to search for the treasure box that my sister had placed next to the pillow, but unexpectedly, The old woman pulled out the pillow next to her and covered her sister's face.

"What are they doing?" Chunxiong asked.

The elder sister was awakened, and was about to move around, but the wife held her hands down. The pillow in the old woman's hand was pressed against the elder sister's face, as if she had exerted all her strength, her legs kicked wildly.

"They seem to want to suffocate her?!"

Dark shadows in the middle of the night, those two people just gathered around the head of the bed, ruthless, and finally the sister's legs and hands stopped struggling, and gradually relaxed, losing her breath.

The old woman and the woman gasped heavily, their hair was caught flying wildly, they gestured to each other, then the woman wrapped her sister's body in a sheet, and the two carried it out one after the other.

"So my sister didn't commit suicide, she was killed by these two people..." Chunxiong frowned.

Fan Wan said in shock: "No wonder my sister's resentment is so heavy, it made this wife go crazy, the child died, and finally let the man kill the whole family during the night of resurgence."

"Why does this family hate this sister so much?" Fan Wan was still puzzled, "It doesn't make sense, for no reason, this sister didn't provoke anyone, she was sold to be an aunt since she was a child, and now she is honest when she comes home Why are you so unpopular? Even to the point where you want to kill him quickly?"

"I think this may be the key to the background story." The little brother seemed to have thought of something, and said, "If the mechanism of this game is to find out which character in the background story is the boss of the game, then judge why my sister was killed. People's dislike is the key."

"The rules of this game also show that there is one and only one wraith in the whole game, which is the boss of the game. If you find a way to get rid of the spirit, you can complete the game."

"What is that!" Chunxiong interrupted Fan Wan, pointing to the wall.

I saw a text composed of shadows slowly projected on the wall, which read:

Players have collected all the clues, please complete the final answer: Which character in the background story is the boss in this game?There is only one chance to answer.

"It has appeared. This should be the final game mechanism." Chunxiong exclaimed.

Fan Wan bit her finger, feeling nervous: "If it is said that my sister was killed because she was humiliated and rejected by her family, it stands to reason that she is the most likely to be a wraith."

"But there is one thing that doesn't make sense." The younger brother shook his head, "It was the younger brother who shot and killed the whole family in the end, and the older sister did not show any resentment towards the family from the beginning to the end."

"Why?" Chunxiong was puzzled, "Couldn't it be that my sister's vengeful spirit possessed my brother on the night of resurgence?"

"No." The little brother continued, "In the escape game, there are indeed bosses such as wraiths and ghosts. After all, it is a game, so it is not surprising that there are these things. However, in the background story of the game, it is They are all people and things that have really existed in the real world. As far as I know, there has never been a real supernatural phenomenon in the background story. And the character with the most resentment in the background story, through the game mechanism, becomes the game boss. What we are looking for It's who has the most resentment in the background story."

The little brother's information should be very convincing, after all, he has a more thorough understanding of the escape game world.

"In real stories, there are no ghosts at all, only ulterior motives." The little brother added.

"Yes." Fan Wan didn't know what came to his mind, after listening to the younger brother's explanation, it seemed that several conflicting points in his heart were finally settled, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly said: "I seem to have thought of something..."

"It is possible that this younger brother was like us at the beginning. In the lies fabricated by the two murderers, he thought that his sister died of illness or committed suicide, but he did not expect to be killed. After the truth, I was stimulated, so I went crazy and killed the whole family and committed suicide."

"So the person who really has resentment is the younger brother... If there is no supernatural existence of resentment in the background story, there is no so-called elder sister's resentment in this ancient house. The wife's madness is to scare herself, Granny Yun It’s just a magic stick, and the old woman is also a guilty conscience. Their whole family was not killed by the elder sister’s resentful spirit, but by the younger brother who learned the truth..."

"It is possible that he had a good relationship with his sister when he was a child, or that his sister was forced to marry because of his illness when he was a child, which ruined his sister's happiness, so that he felt guilty. No matter what the reason, this younger brother couldn't accept his sister's death. In the end, Because of this resentment that caused this tragedy..."

"Then..." Fan Wan's mind went through the plot over and over again, and the analysis gradually became smoother, "Then the boss of this game shouldn't be my sister..."

"It's the spirit behind my brother's death. This is the boss." The little brother nodded and said the final conclusion.

At this time, a line of prompts suddenly appeared on the wall:

Congratulations to all players, you have solved the puzzle of who is the game boss.

"Are you really right? It seems that the boss in this game is indeed my younger brother's wraith." Fan Wan was a little startled. Although it is really not easy to reason to this point, but...

Now that we have found out the true face of the boss, the next step...

Next to him, Chunxiong has not spoken for a long time.

Is it?

Fan Wan looked over and saw that Chunxiong was sitting on the chair next to him at some point, with his head bowed and his eyes closed. Perhaps the light was too dim, or a deeper shadow appeared on his face.

"Chunxiong?" Fan Wan tried to call him.

Chunxiong's eyes were blood red when he raised his head, and his face suddenly became blurred, like a scene where the TV reception suddenly went bad, and there were two people switching back and forth, jumping back and forth.

His voice also overlapped with a different male voice, vague, a little low, and kept making strange "uh uh" sounds.

"It seems right, the boss is indeed possessed by Chunxiong." The little brother didn't look surprised at all.

Sure enough, the boss of the game is the younger brother, and Chunxiong is the person possessed by the boss, that is, the male owner of this ancient house.

The little brother blocked Fan Wan from behind, a little defensive, but the possessed Chunxiong didn't make much movement, he just sat still, leaning on his hands.

Now that the boss has appeared, according to the rules mentioned in the previous game, they only need to eliminate the spirit, that is, eliminate the resentment of the spirit to complete the game.But how to get rid of the spirit, there is no hint in the game.

The seated Chunxiong cast a shadow on the wall behind him, but it was the shadow of another man, and that shadow grew like crazy, becoming bigger and bigger, almost filling the entire wall.

"He has a lot of resentment." The younger brother looked at the shadow and said.

Finally, it began to speak: "I didn't expect you to find me."

"It's not easy..." Fan Wan murmured to himself, thinking back on these experiences, he only felt that the game had lasted too long and almost exhausted his energy.

The host's wraith snorted, and the shadow on the wall almost covered the ceiling: "I have wandered here countless times... I can't leave this place... I want to find my sister, and I want to ask her a lot of things that I haven't had time to ask. problem, but she never showed up..."

"So you want to find your sister?"

Fan Wan thought for a while, and it probably meant that she couldn't find her sister, or couldn't find the answer, so if the resentment hadn't disappeared, she couldn't be reborn, and correspondingly, she couldn't get rid of her spirit.But the elder sister is dead, and in the original story, there should be no resentful spirits, so how can he find the elder sister in his mouth?

At this time, all the walls in the room turned black, and the man's shadow had already filled all the gaps.

It slowed down and gave a weird laugh again, and said: "Hehe, so even if you find me, you will die... Every time I guide the players to the resurrection night, I also let them revive with my sister's relics many times, But my sister’s undead has never appeared. Why is this? Could it be that my sister doesn’t want to see me again? I can’t accept this ending, my resentment can’t dissipate, so no player can successfully exorcise me. In the end , they will also die because the candles run out...just like your fate later..."

Fan Wan suddenly became nervous when his younger brother's resentful spirit said such words, thinking that this question is unsolvable again?If his sister doesn't show up, how can he appease his resentment?

Fan Wan looked at the few candles left in the little brother's hand, and swallowed. They also used her sister's relics to revive before, but her sister never showed up. According to the rules, she could ask her a question, but there was no way to ask her.

If my sister doesn't show up, how can I play? !

At this moment, Fan Wan quietly approached the little brother, and whispered in his ear: "Maybe we will fight again."

The implication is that you have to kill this boss before you can get away.

In the end, the little brother said: "I probably know..."

After speaking, the little brother took a step forward, took out a cigarette, lit it with a candle, and slowly exhaled, saying: "Just now I judged that the boss of the game is my younger brother. This answer is correct, but it made me confirm one thing..."

The little brother paused, then said:

"If my elder sister was killed because of being bullied, she has resentment towards the family. If the resentment is greater than that of her younger brother, she might become the boss of the game. But no, even though she was humiliated, her elder sister did not become the boss of the game. Then Does it mean...the character of sister never existed at all? And the boss said that many times the player has completed the night of resurrection and used the relics of the sister, but in the game, the ghost of the sister cannot be summoned to talk to the younger brother, making The game cannot be played. This also proves that the breaking point of this game is the role of sister, which may not exist at all."

"That is to say, because the game designed the mechanism of summoning my sister's soul, it stands to reason that she should appear, but my sister never appeared, and the game became a dead end."

"The game cannot be designed to be a dead end." Fan Wan said.

The little brother nodded, "So this is the key to the game. There must be a reason why the game is designed like this. It is to use this seemingly unreasonable point to tell the player to use another reasoning to move forward. That is, sister I haven’t returned to this ancient house since then, so players can’t summon my sister on Resurrection Night.”

"But it doesn't make sense, my sister was killed is a clear image, how could she never come back." Fan Wan was puzzled.

"The only answer is that the sister who was killed... is actually the younger brother."

"Huh? What did you say?" Fan Wan thought he heard it wrong.

The little brother repeated again: "A sister is a brother."

The strange voice that filled the room obviously paused for a moment, obviously the wraith didn't expect the little brother to say that.

"What, what?" It questioned with a strange cry. Seeing its surprise, not only was it unexpected, it might not even know the truth.

"Brother, please speak clearly." Fan Wan hurriedly asked.

The little brother pointed to Chunxiong's blurred face and said: "Only this is the only explanation that makes sense. The older sister in that story is probably just another personality split from the younger brother. The original older sister exists. But since she was sold, she has never appeared in this ancient house again, maybe she died in the major general's mansion a long time ago. So, everything that follows is just a story interpreted by another personality of my younger brother. "

After he reminded him like this, Fan Wan suddenly realized, and hit his hand, that's right!If so, then it makes sense!

While thinking about it, Fan Wan said: "The story may be like this. The original sister married to the Major General's Mansion a long time ago, and died when the Major General was in distress. The younger brother's body was broken because of missing or feeling guilty about his sister. Out of the consciousness of a big sister, the big sister who came back home is actually just a younger brother who dressed up as a big sister and carried the personality of a big sister.”

Fan Wan went on to reason: "My younger brother works at my grandfather all the year round, and I rarely go home. My sister said that my younger brother was not there on the day she came back after the accident at her husband's house. Everyone thought that my younger brother was working in other places. In addition, my older sister got married when she was very young. The two younger brothers look alike, and when the elder sister came back later, she also stayed behind closed doors, so it was difficult for everyone to find any difference, but in fact, this elder sister is another personality of the younger brother."

"Later, this so-called 'sister' lived at home for several months, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and was choked to death by his mother and sister-in-law, but he didn't die, maybe he just fainted from the suffocation and didn't come over in one breath. But my sister's personality was killed because of it."

"The younger brother regained his consciousness and ran out from the place where the body was dumped, thinking that he had encountered some robbers on the way home. When he rushed home, he heard that his sister had returned in the past few months, but he was arrested. The lying old woman and wife told her sister that she committed suicide, and because one personality can't remember the other personality, the younger brother didn't know what happened, and kept trying to find out the reason for her sister's death."

"Afterwards, the younger brother's child fell ill, and the following story came to light. It was not until the night of the resurrection that the sister's so-called 'soul' was returned, but that was not the real resurrection, but the younger brother's body perceived the memory of the dead sister's personality. Fragments, knowing the fact that his sister was killed, and finally his brother went crazy and killed the whole family. But until the end, he firmly believed that the sister had come back and existed. All this made the younger brother's resentment unable to dissipate. Using the game mechanism, he became The boss in the old house game."

After Fan Wan figured out the story, on the other side, the younger brother's grievances were also shocked, and the shadow on Chunxiong's face kept jumping and distorting rapidly, as if the younger brother couldn't accept the truth of the matter.

"No, I won't..." The younger brother's resentful spirit resisted.

"From the beginning to the end, there is no sister in this story, only your two personalities...just..." Fan Wan seemed to hesitate for a while when he said this, feeling that his deduction was a little flawed, and said: "Your brother, even The sister's consciousness is split, why can't everyone recognize it, one is male and the other is female, there is a big difference.

The younger brother patted Fan Wan on the shoulder, and said to the shadow: "The answer to this question must be clearer to my younger brother, and it is precisely because he knows it that there is no doubt about this inference."

"That is, my sister was originally a man, not a woman." The younger brother said slowly: "This is also the reason why the old lady and the hostess hate her, and it may also be the root of his life's rough fate. And this, as a You, brother, are very clear."

"Sister is a man?" Fan Wan was also shocked by this answer, but it did explain all the previous questions.Why was my sister disliked since I was a child, what is Major General Lin's so-called hobby, and why my younger brother pretending to be an older sister won't be suspected.

Finally, countless clues came together to draw out a complete thread.

The original strange cry of the younger brother's wraith turned into a heavy whimper, which was slow and heavy, and finally burst into a piercing long howl. It was very painful, as if he only understood it at this moment, and wailed: "It turns out that this is the case. , it seems that the question I want to ask my sister, the answer I want, has long since disappeared..."

"What do you want to ask her?" Fan Wan asked curiously.

"I just want to..." My younger brother's resentment kept flickering, "I just want to ask her, how has she been doing these years..."

In any case, there is no answer.

The little brother crushed out the cigarette butt and said to it: "Now, you finally know the ending of the story, you can leave." It seemed to announce the end of the game.

In an instant, the wall occupied by the black shadow turned white again, and the shadow, like a silent black curtain, was torn into pieces and gradually disappeared, until finally only a small piece of land was left, returning behind Chunxiong, becoming a normal back.I saw Chunxiong slipped from the chair with a knock, knelt down on the ground, and passed out.

Then the flames shot up into the sky, and all the candlesticks in the old house were ablaze, illuminating the whole old house, shining through the heavy darkness and high walls, like dawn after a long night.Under the light, the shadow is always dark black, forming a contrast. The human heart hidden under the black shadow is full of sin and pain, and the soul is finally turned into a small ashes after the fire burns out.

It seems that the chirping of birds in the woods before dawn can be heard in my ears, which are noisy and full of vitality, and the smell of soil washed by the soft rainwater in the woods wafts, making people feel a sense of survival from a desperate situation.

When Chunxiong woke up, he found that someone was patting his face. When he opened his eyes, Fan Wan's gentle smile came into view.

"Get up, don't sleep."

"Huh?" Chunxiong rubbed his eyes.

On the other side, the little brother's slender legs leaned against the door frame. For some reason, seeing the two of them, Chunxiong felt a surge of warmth in his heart, feeling very secure.

The surroundings are brightened, and the old house has become less hideous and terrifying. Together with the stories and secrets of the past, it seems that they all disappeared when the fresh wind blows from the window.

"Do you remember what happened?" Fan Wan asked him.

Chunxiong shook his head blankly: "I only remember that when I came here to sketch, I met a few people, and then we got lost together, and found an old house at night, but I don't remember it afterwards... I felt dizzy as soon as I entered the door, Like a dream, I slowly lost consciousness, and the following things..."

It turned out that Chunxiong was offline the whole time, so Fan Wan had no choice but to interrupt him: "Then don't think about it, the game is over."

The author has something to say: Some of the previous reasoning was not detailed enough, sorry for the bad reading experience.

The entire reasoning logic has been refined again, and interested friends can take a look.

Thank you for the little angel who commented.

I will continue to do my best.
