This NPC really has a problem

Perhaps it was because the day when the snow stopped was getting closer and closer, a sense of urgency rushed into Mr. Lu's heart. He thought that he would not be able to wake up during the day after making a fuss yesterday, but at eight o'clock in the morning, he opened his eyes. eyes, and never fell asleep again.

Mr. Lu woke up on the sofa.

He stayed in the living room all night, and Bai Zhu didn't leave the hut, at least he didn't leave the hut from the first floor—he hoped that Bai Zhu wouldn't be so stupid as to jump out of the window.It was obvious that Bai Zhu was hiding somewhere in the hut. Mr. Lu didn't look for it, but he did a little more when cooking, which was a little too much for three people and not enough for four.After cooking, Mr. Lu made some snacks and generously gave them to his guests, saying that he accidentally made too much, and hoped that the guests could help him share some.

Just like when Chen Jin disappeared, Mr. Lu didn't ask the players where they were going. He quickly finished his meal and left, leaving the restaurant to the guests. This was convenient for Zhong Changya and Xu Yan to smuggle food to the third floor.

Zhong Changya and Xu Yan carried the leftover breakfast alone, and snacks alone. After returning to the guest room, they knocked on the door of the closet. Zhong Changya shouted loudly, "Come out for dinner."

After a while, the door of the cabinet was opened from the inside, and Bai Zhu crawled out of the cabinet rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Mr. Lu's medicine had too much stamina, even though he had been in a coma for a long time, Bai Zhu still couldn't cheer up.Regardless of whether Zhong Changya and Xu Yan's guesses were true or not, Bai Zhu didn't plan to show up anymore, and he was worried that Mr. Lu would suddenly enter the guest room and he wouldn't be able to react, so he simply curled up in the closet to catch up on sleep.

Anyway, the space in the closet is large enough, and his body in the game is small enough that he won't feel uncomfortable under soft clothes.

As for why he refused to show up, Bai Zhu felt that if Zhong Changya and Xu Yan's conjectures were true, his act of leaving without saying goodbye was a bit... embarrassing.

He hadn't eaten for almost a day, and now Bai Zhu was sleepy and hungry, so he quickly ate up the contents after taking the plate.He cheered up and asked Zhong Changya and the two: "Do you have any ideas about where the key is?"

They already have a key in their hands, but they haven't received a customs clearance reminder. The one sent by the frozen corpse must not be the one they need.

Zhong Changya shook her head and said, "But we have found something else."

Bai Zhu looked at her suspiciously.

Zhong Changya signaled Bai Zhu to come out with her and Xu Yan.The destination is very close, just in the grocery room on the same floor.

This room is locked, Zhong Changya reminded Bai Zhu before opening the door: "The things inside may be beyond your imagination, so don't scream to attract others."

In the hut, the other person is naturally Mr. Lu.

After Bai Zhu nodded, Zhong Changya inserted the key given to her by the frozen corpse into the keyhole, and opened the door.

……

"It should be almost the same, right?" Mr. Lu muttered to himself.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, in front of him was the repaired chime bell.Mr. Lu stretched out his hand and turned the pointer to twelve o'clock, and then he heard the bell strike and the crow flapped its wings and flew out.

There were a total of twelve bells, and it took nearly half a minute to strike them all. After Mr. Lu confirmed that it could ring, he looked at the dial of the pocket watch in his hand and turned the hands back.

But forgot that the crow had not withdrawn into the hut.

After turning back the pointer, the crow was stuck in the air. Mr. Lu was hesitating whether to push the crow back manually, when he saw the crow opened its mouth, and a ball of paper fell out of the crow's mouth.

Mr. Lu picked up the ball of paper, and when he opened it, there was a string of numbers on it, which happened to be the password of the safe in his bedroom.

Mr. Lu: "..."

Why didn't he know that there was such a thing in his chime clock.

Mr. Lu almost suspected that he had misremembered the password of the safe, but after turning the combination dial according to the string of numbers on the paper, he only heard a slight click of the lock, and the door of the safe opened accordingly.

Inside is a shotgun and some bullets.

If Mr. Lu wants to deal with travelers staying overnight, this will be his greatest reliance.

Mr. Lu lowered his eyes to look at the note in his hand, threw it back into the safe, and closed the cabinet door.

Putting the chiming clock back to its original place, Mr. Lu went to the third floor, and met Zhong Changya who was going downstairs with an empty plate in the stairwell.

When Zhong Changya saw that Mr. Lu's expression froze, Mr. Lu pretended that he didn't see it, and turned sideways to make way for Zhong Changya to make way for a wider aisle.

Zhong Changya's hand holding the plate trembled a little. She was afraid that Mr. Lu would see the clue, so she asked to relieve her tension, "Mr. Lu, do you know when the snow will stop?"

"Tomorrow." Mr. Lu answered quickly without thinking much.

——The snow is about to stop, and he will not let you live until the snow stops.

What the frozen corpse said suddenly appeared in Zhong Changya's mind.

These words seemed to be sowing dissension by the frozen corpse, and also like a warning from the deceased to future generations who were about to make the same mistakes again. Zhong Changya even forgot to think about why Mr. Lu was so sure about the time when the snow would stop.

She suppressed these thoughts that would only make people flustered, and quickened her pace to walk past Mr. Lu.When she heard Mr. Lu's footsteps resounding behind her, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Zhong Changya subconsciously asked, "Is there anything you need to do upstairs?"

Mr. Lu replied truthfully: "Go to the grocery store to find some things."

Zhong Changya almost staggered.

Of course they all left the grocery room, but...but they seemed to have forgotten to lock the door!

Zhong Changya looked back in panic, but Mr. Lu had disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

The door to the grocery room was unlocked.

Mr. Lu realized this as soon as he inserted the key into the lock.

He fumbled in his pocket, but couldn't find the second key.The master key, which had been lost for many years, disappeared not long after it was found, and no matter how it disappeared, it is now in the hands of another person.

Mr. Lu stopped in front of the grocery room for a moment, took out the key as if nothing had happened, and opened the door.

There are no windows in the grocery room, and it is dark inside.Mr. Lu fumbled to find the light on the wall.The light bulb is already a bit old. After Mr. Lu pressed the switch, the light bulb flickered twice before emitting light continuously and steadily.

The things in the utility room are very monotonous, with corpses on one side and abandoned furniture and decorations on the other.

The common denominator is that they all have blood on them.

The corpses were piled up in the left corner of the room, and the bloodstains left by dragging them could still be seen on the ground. The blood had dried up long ago and turned into uncomfortable dark red stains. These stains are commonly found in corpses. And the surface of the pile of furniture next to it.The temperature in the grocery room is very low, just a little higher than the outdoor temperature. If you come in unprepared, you will definitely be shivering from the cold. This temperature ensures that the corpses in the room do not rot, at least Mr. Lu came in At that time, there was no strange smell at all.

Someone has already been to the grocery store, but the contents remain the same.

In fact, Mr. Lu couldn't remember exactly which pieces of furniture were piled up. He counted the corpses. There were four and a half corpses in total, and none was missing.

The posture must have changed, after all, only during the day they will be piled up in the corner without moving.

Mr. Lu thought of the unlocked door again, and couldn't help but feel stuffy.He specially locked the door of the grocery room because he didn't want anyone to enter by mistake. Even if he went in, he locked the door anyway. If he didn't come to the grocery room, the people who didn't lock the door would never remember it. It's going to happen again tonight.

Didn't something happen on the night of the 13th?

Mr. Lu's eyes fell on Chen Jin's body.

There were one and a half of his corpses.

I don't know how the people who come in will feel when they see him, or themselves.

But these are not important to Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu went straight to the pile of furniture on the right. The ones that were broken by the traveler during the struggle, and those that were stained with blood and could not be cleaned up were thrown in the grocery room.The discarded furniture was stacked one on top of the other, and finally formed a small hill. On the top was a hanging painting. The forest in the painting was lush and lush, but the harmony was destroyed by the splashed blood.

Mr. Lu pushed the painting aside, ignoring it and rolled down the "hill" to the ground.

He had to pluck out what was submerged in the furniture.

At the beginning, Mr. Lu moved very quickly, and he turned down the pieces without looking at them. However, after being hit by the edges and corners of the furniture and causing several bruises on his arms and legs, Mr. Lu consciously slowed down and began to handle them lightly. Take it easy.

The ground was still a mess.

"Huh..." Mr. Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his clean hand, panting and looking at the seven large barrels of diesel oil on the ground.There are diesel engines in the cabin for power generation in case of sudden power outages.It's just that the circuit of the hut has always been very tenacious, and Mr. Lu can't remember how many years ago these diesel fuels were prepared.

He unscrewed the lid of a barrel of diesel and smelled a strong, totally unpleasant smell of diesel.

After confirming it, Mr. Lu put the lid back on.

"It should be enough..." Mr. Lu murmured, and after hesitating for a moment, he left without tidying up the messy grocery room.

He remembered to lock the door.

……

"He left." Hearing the sound of the door closing next door, Xu Yan said softly.

Xu Yan said: "He should know that we have the key."

Bai Zhu sat in the wardrobe with the door open, with a serious expression on his face: "If both of your guesses are wrong, Mr. Lu is a pure big BOSS, and we may have to explain tonight."

"Didn't that frozen corpse mean that Mr. Lu would not let us live until Xueting stopped?" Zhong Changya said, "Maybe Mr. Lu is the kind of person who insists on waiting until the last moment of Xueting. He said tomorrow The snow has just stopped, so maybe we can stay for another night."

Xu Yan reminded: "If the snow stops just after zero o'clock, the snow will stop tomorrow."

Zhong Changya choked for a moment, she didn't know how to reply to the words that were purely destroying her prestige.

Bai Zhu tapped the cabinet door unconsciously.

"The location of the key," he said suddenly, "I have a guess."

Zhong Changya and Xu Yanqi looked at him together.

"There is a safe in Mr. Lu's bedroom." Bai Zhu frowned unconsciously, not very sure. "The key used as a customs clearance tool must not be easily found. I guess, the key may be locked inside."
