The air was suddenly silent for a few seconds.

The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds through the chain link fence, and finally Ling Luo broke the silence.

"I just said why the tone is so familiar." Ling Luo turned back and sat on the armchair, not too surprised, "I guessed it was you."

"..." Xuan Mu recalled what Ling Luo said about buying privileges yesterday, "It's not bad... I also guessed a little bit."

Shi Qi nodded at them, went straight to the point, turned around and took the red key and the stave from the long table, "Go try the stave and see what changes there will be."

Too much time wasted before, and they bought double points, naturally, the faster the customs clearance, the higher the income.

"Ah," Li Kuangyu came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay."

He handed the black key he found earlier to Shi Qi, without much delay, he moved quickly and walked towards the new room with Ling Luo.

Immediately afterwards, the melodious sound of the piano came from the opposite side, and after a while, the two returned to the original room.

"The big iron door was opened," Li Kuangyu said, "There is a safe inside, which cannot be opened, and there is no display screen or lock hole."

Shi Qi thought for a while, "Let's leave that for now... Try to see if the ventilation duct can go in, and take the walkie-talkie with you by the way."

Although there is only a trace of electricity left, it is still necessary to take precautions against emergencies.

After happily discussing the exploration strategy, the two didn't waste any time, went straight to the new room, and tried to insert the black key into the lock.

With a "click", the iron door opened in response, and there seemed to be a narrow and dark passage inside.

"Pay attention to your step." Shi Qi took out the flashlight from his bag, turned his head and told Xuan Mu.

The two of them paid close attention to the movement around them, and walked forward step by step. Immediately afterwards, they saw more than a dozen dilapidated wooden chairs stacked blocking the way forward, and a half-meter-high passage was supported under the chairs.

After crawling forward for a while, the two came to a wide corridor.

At that time, Qi Yuguang caught a glimpse of a small pillar-shaped thing rolling down the side of the wall, hesitated for a while, picked it up, and found that it was a good flashlight.

"Equipment as well?" Xuan Mu patted the ashes on his pants and stood up.

"Well," Shi Qi nodded, and put it in his pocket, "Take it, it might be useful later."

Xuan Mu responded, and looked around by the light of the flashlight.

The floor of the promenade is covered with soft Wilton tapestry, the ceiling is hung with extinguished crystal chandeliers, and some picture frames are hung on the walls, with some medieval oil portraits painted inside.

The two were in the aisle of a luxurious house.

Shi Qi noticed the electric switch inlaid on the wall not far away, and stepped forward to open the cover.

He raised his hand to flip the switch, and found that the crystal chandelier on the ceiling was not on, so he took out the walkie-talkie and called Li Kuangyu to remind him to turn on the switch.

After a while, the light tube was turned on, and the field of vision was bright.

Xuan Mu looked forward, lowered his voice, "...someone."

Shi Qi turned off the flashlight, followed Xuan Mu's line of sight, and there seemed to be a few children wearing ghost masks in front of them, patrolling back and forth with lanterns in their hands.

"Don't make a sound," Shi Qi pulled Xuan Mu to lean against the wall, and spoke in a breathy voice, "Come forward slowly."

Xuan Mu nodded, and followed Shi Qi to move forward.

He had a faint feeling of unease, looked up to the side of the wall, and found that the people in the picture frame were staring closely at them next to each other.

Xuan Mu took a breath and said in a low voice, "Those paintings are looking at us."

"It's okay," Shi Qi suppressed his breath, "Don't worry about it."

The two quickly moved around the patrolling personnel, searched several guest rooms one by one, then flashed into one of the living rooms, and saw several coffins neatly stacked in the center.

"Open?" Xuan Mu asked.

Shi Qi nodded, took the lead, and took a step forward, carefully lifted the lid of the coffin, inside lay some children's bones with dismembered limbs, and the edges of the clothes were a little hairy, as if they had been cut open with some sharp tool.

Xuan Mu remembered the voice from the cage earlier, "A chainsaw?"

"Probably." Shi Qi said.

He didn't really want to turn over these fragmented corpses with his hands, so he took the iron rod from the side, and turned inside with the help of tools.

Xuan Mu opened the lids of the other coffins one by one, and paused, as if he noticed something strange, "Brother, come quickly."

"What's wrong?" Shi Qi turned to look at him.

"See if there is anything there," Xuan Mu pointed at the clenched fist of one of the corpses, squinting his eyes, "I can't see clearly."

Shi Qi shone the light of the flashlight there, and saw that the child's skeleton was holding a small tube firmly in its hand, and it glowed transparently.

After thinking for a while, he took out a tissue from the Xuanmu bag, and carefully took out the tube.

"It's an emerald pipe," Shi Qi wiped it clean with a paper towel, "their clue props over there."

Xuan Mu recalled the two people imprisoned in the opposite cage, and nodded clearly.

Shi Qi put away the pipe, and after confirming that there were no other clues, he took Xuan Mu out of the living room and continued to explore along the long corridor.

The promenade connects many small rooms and fork roads, and the layout extends in all directions and is intricate.After searching for a while, Xuan Mu couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "I just wanted to say yesterday that it's a good thing this round of map is not big... I'm slapped in the face today."

"Tired?" Shi Qi asked.

"No, it's just talking," Xuan Mu shook his head, "but the carpet search will probably take some time."

"Well, it takes a lot of time to avoid those children." Shi Qi raised his hand and looked at his watch, "First find out the whole picture of this floor, and then check each one carefully."

"Okay," Xuan Mu's eyes lit up, and he took out a pen and paper from his bag, "It's my field of expertise again."

The two took note of the environmental characteristics along the way, and finally came to a three-meter-high bronze gate, stuck there motionless, with neither a lock hole nor a display screen on it.

The overall area was large, and it took too much time to evade searches. After Xuanmu drew a detailed map, the two decided to go back to have dinner first.

Shi Qi handed the emerald pipe to Li Kuangyu, went to the food supply window and pressed the button, "I didn't have time to search it all, it's too big."

"We are similar here, and we only had time to search a little bit forward." Li Kuangyu took the clues.

"This should be the 'straw' you mentioned in the cage over there. Why don't you try it out first?" Shi Qi thought for a while, then added, "Turn on the walkie-talkie, too."

"Okay." Li Kuangyu agreed to his proposal, and quickly walked towards the cage room with Ling Luo.

The two carefully inserted the emerald pipe into the cage, and the person inside snatched the pipe crazily. A few seconds later, a heavy whistle sounded from inside.

Shi Qi and Xuan Mu brought two servings of lean meat rice noodles to the table, and listened to the movement on the other side while eating.

"Haha... finally got it... ah... finally sucked it..." The voice of the man was like a broken bellows, intermittently transmitted to the walkie-talkie, "ah... that's great... hahahaha..."

After a while, there seemed to be some dispute between the two in the cage, and a sharp and ear-piercing cry sounded from the walkie-talkie.

"Ahhh...! Don't come here...you ruined me...you ruined me!" Another voice roared with tears.

"...how...how could it be them?!" Li Kuangyu seemed to have seen something, and said in disbelief, "I remember...they are already dead!"

"???" Xuan Mu asked, "What happened?"

Li Kuangyu didn't answer, and then Ling Luo asked, "You know them too?"

"I saw them in the last game..." Li Kuangyu came back to his senses, his voice paused, "They are obviously dead..."

"What?" Xuan Mu paused with his chopsticks, and noticed Ling Luo used the word 'also', "...what did you see?"

Just when Ling Luo was about to say something, there was a soft "pop" sound from the intercom, as if something had fallen to the ground, and the surroundings suddenly became a little noisy.

Ling Luo and Li Kuangyu turned off the walkie-talkie and returned to the chain link fence after a while.

Xuan Mu's gaze focused on the gadget in Ling Luo's hand, "What is this?"

"Clockwork, it was thrown from a fight inside, it must be some prop." Ling Luo frowned and looked at the food on the opposite table, then turned around and pressed the food supply button.

Li Kuangyu grabbed the chain link fence with both hands, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock, "Guess who I saw..."

Shi Qi thought for a while, then remembered the video that was played automatically in the big room earlier, "Lin Xianghua."

Li Kuangyu: "...??"

Is there any more suspense!

Don't be nervous anymore...

"Yes...it's Lin Xianghua and Liao Ying who died in the last game..." Li Kuangyu exhaled lightly, caught a glimpse of the lean meat rice noodles on the opposite side, turned his head and said to Ling Luo, "Help me press one too." share."

Shi Qi and the others described the content of the human experiment in the film, and expressed his guess, "Probably... the dead player will stay in the game and become an integral part of the game."

Ling Luo brought the food from the window to the table and sat down.

Xuan Mu saw the blue soda can next to Ling Luo's bowl, and was taken aback, "Why is there Coke??"

"I bought the privilege," Ling Luo said while breaking apart the chopsticks, "Enjoy yourself while enjoying yourself and pay attention to the quality of life."

"Oh," Xuan Mu recalled Ling Luo's words just now, "Do you know them?"

Ling Luo nodded: "Well, those two couples live next door to my house, and they fight fiercely every day."

"That man used to be a rich second-generation man who was addicted to gambling... He was quite powerful. His father committed suicide by jumping off a building due to debts. He actually used gambling to fill the usury hole," Ling Luo paused, then continued. Said, "But it's not a good bird."

"What about Liao Ying?" Li Kuangyu then asked.

Shi Qi glanced at the vegetables that Xuan Mu had pushed to the edge of the bowl, stretched out his chopsticks to pick them up, and brought them to Xuan Mu's mouth, "Eat some vegetables, too."

Xuan Mu let out an "oh", and obediently opened his mouth to pick up the vegetables.

Li Kuangyu: ...?

What did I see again? ? ?
