Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Sisi looked a little older than her, with a twisted braid, a pink silk scarf pinned around her waist, and a crimson oil-paper umbrella in her hand. There were several yellow flowers painted on the surface of the umbrella, which couldn't be named. , but still pretty good.

She looked up at her umbrella again, and found that the color of her umbrella was exactly the opposite of the one in Sisi's hand, it was yellow with red flowers.

This is a coincidence?Or does it have any special meaning?

I'm afraid we'll have to wait for everyone to arrive before making a judgment.

Sisi didn't intend to talk too much with her, after introducing herself, she stood beside Shen Maomao, looking into the distance with her, waiting for the rest of the players to arrive.

It didn't take long before another boat sailed over. There was a man in a black uniform with a stand-up collar sitting on the boat. He was holding an umbrella like Shen Maomao's, so neither of them could see what he looked like.

Soon the boat stopped in front of them. The man stood up and jumped off the boat. When he looked up, he saw the two people by the river, and immediately showed a big smile: "You guys came so fast?"

Shen Maomao carried the handle of the umbrella on his shoulder and looked up at the man.

He is very young, with a baby face, short haircut, and a black brim hat on his head, so he can't tell the exact age.But judging from the school badge on his clothes, he should be with them.

Sisi was not in a high mood, and nodded to him lightly.

The man was not annoyed, and said to the two, "Do you want to go to the roof to hide from the rain? I'll just wait here for the others."

Sisi was feeling a little cold, so she was not polite, and asked Shen Maomao, "Do you want the rabbit to go there together?"

Shen Maomao hesitated for a second, and agreed: "Okay, I'll trouble you, I don't know your name yet..."

The man said: "My name is Kang Yuanhuai, how about you?"

The two women each said their screen names.

Kang Yuanhuai made a "please" gesture to them in a personable manner, and said, "Then please move to the eaves first, please wait a moment, and we will go in together later."

Shen Maomao and Sisi walked under the eaves together. After putting away the umbrella, she looked back at Kang Yuanhuai and asked, "Do you think... this Kang Yuanhuai is a little strange?"

Sisi sharply said: "He doesn't seem to be a player."

Shen Maomao also felt this way.

The players she saw were either terrified or numb or confused, but she had never seen him with such a bright smile, as if he was preparing for a spring outing, rather than participating in a life-and-death game where life was hanging by a thread.

Of course, the possibility that he is a fool is not ruled out.

After waiting for a while, the small boats stopped on the shore and slowly sailed away. Men and women wearing the same school uniform stood in a row on the shore. Including Kang Yuanhuai, there were nine people in total. Shen Maomao looked around, I didn't recognize which one was the golden retriever.

Hell, where's the golden retriever?

The people in this group are all young, four men and five women. Both men and women hold an oil-paper umbrella in their hands. The umbrellas are only red and yellow, and they don’t choose gender. It may be something important, or it may be in the same local wholesale.

The oldest in the crowd should be Sisi, but she looks about 25 or [-] years old, and the youngest is a beautiful girl with two braids, who looks about seventeen or eighteen.

Shen Maomao and Sisi walked out of the eaves to join them, she stretched her neck to look towards the end of the river, wanting to see when the golden retriever would come over, but she heard Kang Yuanhuai say: "Okay, we're all here, let's go. "

Shen Maomao: "???" Where's the golden retriever? ?what's the situation?

Kang Yuanhuai led the way, and the group of people walked along the bluestone road, and the leather shoes made water splashes one after another.

Now that the people are all together, it means that the Golden Retriever is in the crowd.

Shen Maomao pretended to straighten her skirt, deliberately lagging behind by two steps, standing at the end of the crowd to observe their backs.

Excluding Kang Yuanhuai, Sisi, and her, there are still three men and three women in the player, all of whom have black hair, and her idea of ​​identifying golden hair by hair is shattered.

The three men are very young, one is slightly fat, the other wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and the last one has a straight head and scars on his eyes, making him not easy to mess with.

Among the three women, one had fashionable curly hair, the other wore a blue hairpin and had straight hair with a shawl, and the rest was the youngest girl with double braids that Shen Maomao had seen before.

So what about the golden retriever? ? ?

With such doubts in mind, she followed the troops through the streets and alleys, getting more and more remote, and the river became wider and wider, until she reached a small two-story house by the river.

The house is surrounded by walls, facing the big river, the walls are covered with red and yellow silk cloth, the color looks quite new, in stark contrast to the dusty yellow walls, it should have been hung recently of.

Kang Yuanhuai turned his head and said to several people: "Okay, it's here. I've already rented this house. The students can rest assured. The house may be a bit dilapidated, and everyone needs to work hard to repair it. Is there any problem?"

All the players shook their heads.

Seeing this, Kang Yuanhuai took out a copper key to unlock it, then raised his hand and pushed open the dusty door, waved away the floating ash in front of him, and walked in first.

The size of the courtyard is small, and it is far from the Qiao family courtyard that Shen Maomao has seen.The front yard was overgrown with weeds, the floor was broken, and some table and chair legs and old clothes were scattered on the ground.There is only a simple two-story building in the courtyard. From the first floor, you can see the circular marble terrace on the second floor and a few fallen chairs on the terrace.

Kang Yuanhuai didn't expect the inside to be so dilapidated, so he coughed a few times embarrassedly, and said to everyone: "Funds are limited, I hope everyone can understand..."

Now that it is confirmed that Kang Yuanhuai is picking up the NPC, Sisi smiled and talked to him: "It's okay, let's do it together, and it should be cleaned up soon."

The man wearing glasses also said, "Shall we divide the work and start cleaning now?"

Kang Yuanhuai said: "Then let's clean up the restaurant first. I'll go to the restaurant to order some food and have someone deliver it. Only when I'm full will I have the energy to work."

Everyone climbed up the stairs, walked over the two stone pillars in front of the door, and entered the room. The first thing they saw was a large round table that could accommodate at least 15 people to eat together. After entering the door, there was a place to eat.

There are two corridors on both sides of the round table, and I don't know where each can lead.

It's just that you don't need to clean up too many places when you eat, you just need to wipe out the tables and chairs in the restaurant as Kang Yuanhuai said.

Kang Yuanhuai did not know where to find a rag, and looked for water behind the rag, and asked them to find a place to rest first.

However, the dust in the room was too thick, and none of the players sat down. They each found a corner and stood, looking at each other.

The person wearing glasses spoke first: "By the way, I forgot to ask you, what date are you here today?"

The people around were stunned for a few seconds.

Sisi let out a "puchi" laugh, but the smile quickly dissipated: "There's no need to pretend, you haven't time-traveled."

The little thought of the man with glasses was punctured on the spot, and his face immediately burned up: "Ah? Then what's going on?"

The fat man who was by the man's side all the way said: "Seeing how calm you are all the way, I thought there would be no newcomers in this game."

The man with glasses was even more confused: "What game?"

Sisi said: "You can understand that you were arrested to participate in a horror game escape. If you win, there is no reward, but if you lose, you will die."

"But—!" said the man with glasses, "No one has considered my opinion at all!"

One of the curly-haired women frowned: "Keep your voice down, don't attract the attention of the npc."

And Sisi said: "Silly boy, the game doesn't need your consent at all. From the moment you do something bad secretly, your fate no longer belongs to you."

The man in glasses was choked up, and it took a long time before he came up with a reason to refute: "You must have joined forces to tease me, right? We must have time-traveled, otherwise how would I have become younger..."

Hearing this, Shen Maomao looked up at him.

The fat man said: "What's so strange about this? In order to make the player's identity more reasonable, I just adjusted the age."

The attitude of the others was too taken for granted, and the man with glasses gradually panicked: "Can anyone tell me what happened? Where is this? How did I go home?"

The fat man thought for a while, and instead of answering his question, he looked at the women and asked, "Are there any newcomers among you guys? I'll talk to you in a while."

Everyone shook their heads.

The man with glasses cast a look full of hope and gratitude.

"Let's talk about it after the npc leaves." Fatty said, "The game should give us time to communicate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Yuanhuai came back with a copper basin.

He soaked the rag, rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Shen Maomao wanted to go up to help, but was rejected because he thought that female students could not be allowed to do rough work.

When the fat man heard the reason, he hurried forward to help, but he was not rejected. The man with glasses was in a state of confusion, so he asked for a rag to start working.

In the end, he and the fat man with glasses tidied up the neighborhood neatly. As for the short-cut man—he sat on a chair that had been cleaned and closed his eyes to rest, not intending to participate in labor at all.

After finishing the work, everyone sat down around the round table. Kang Yuanhuai stood up first to speak and introduced himself to everyone: "Hi students, my name is Kang Yuanhuai. Local people, I am very glad to meet you here, and I am very grateful that you have chosen the task of investigating folklore activities, and hope that we can get along well during these seven days."

After he finished speaking, he sat down, and then looked at the crowd with encouraging eyes, motioning for them to say his name too.

Sisi was the first to say: "My name is Sisi, Miss Si, please take care of me."

Shen Maomao followed immediately.

After a lap, she almost recognized everyone.

Fatty said his name was Dahai, Cun Tou called himself Anan, the one with wavy hair who never spoke was Jing Jing, and the one with straight black hair was Mingyue.

The man with glasses noticed that the names they mentioned seemed to be fake names, so he kept an eye out and said that his name was Gauss.

And the most special one is the youngest sister with braided braids. She gestured with everyone with her eyes wide open, her mouth was tightly closed, as if she couldn't speak.

Shen Maomao's eyes locked on her.
