In an escape game...

Mr. Yan is thin, with wrinkled and pale skin, and the dense age spots on the back of his hands are particularly conspicuous.The bluish-purple nails were nearly twice as long as they were in the morning, and the five fingers were stiff and curled up, like frozen chicken feet.

Through the gloves, Yun Xubai felt the coldness of the corpse. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he let go of his palm.

It is not a trivial matter for the nails of the corpse to grow longer. Teacher Li and Mr. Yan's expressions changed drastically, and they all gathered around Yun Xubai to observe Mr. Yan's nails carefully.

"The nails have really grown!" Teacher Li burst into sweat instantly, and his back was soaked in cold sweat. He didn't dare to touch the corpse again, and looked at Mr. Yan: "Mr. Yan, the corpse has long nails. I'm afraid it's a blessing. It's now , I suggest that you quickly cremate the old man's body!"

When the audience saw the close-up of the nails, they exclaimed:

"Hiss! This movie actually has elements of corpse transformation, it's so terrifying!"

"It's getting more and more scary, I don't dare to watch it!"

"Hush...be quiet, I can't hear the lines clearly."

The audience gradually quieted down, the chirping sound disappeared, and the two NPCs also fell silent. Yun Xubai felt the silence of the mourning hall.

About 1 minute passed, Teacher Li wiped off the sweat that was pouring out, and broke the silence: "Mr. Yan! Make a decision early!"

Mr. Yan knew what it means for a corpse to be blessed, and his face sank like water: "Mr. Li, the seven-day coffin has already begun. If I cremate the old man in the first seven days, he will die because of the restlessness. I violated the family training by doing this, and the family's luck will Affected, the Yan family may decline in the future. Apart from immediate cremation, is there any other way?"

"Mr. Yan, don't embarrass me, I'm just a coffin, how can I understand this." Teacher Li was so frightened that his eyes were red and bleeding, and tears were about to come down: "If it wasn't for me and my apprentice this morning Your house hit a ghost, and I was afraid of being haunted by ghosts and couldn't leave immediately, so we have to leave now to refund the money."

"Breaking ghosts?" Mr. Yan excitedly held Mr. Li's shoulders, and asked, "Is it my father's spirit body?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't be sure if it's the old man. The family who is going to do the funeral has a bad luck, and I don't rule out the possibility of provoking lonely ghosts." Teacher Li said with remorse and fear in his eyes, trembling lips : "Mr. Yan, the most urgent thing is to contact the funeral parlor to cremate the corpse! Cremation is popular now, and the corpse has not been fattened for many years. There is no Taoist priest who understands Maoshan magic. If the old man turns dead, the consequences will not be your responsibility of!"

Mr. Yan pondered for a moment: "This matter is related to the luck of my Yan family, let me think about it again."

Teacher Li said anxiously: "Mr. Yan, don't blame me for speaking badly. If the person is gone, what good is the luck in the future?"

The two npcs were talking back and forth, Yun Xubai didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly.He has never played a zombie copy, and his impression of zombies comes from the zombie movies he watched when he was a child.

Fortunately, this dungeon is not too stupid, so I quickly sent him a system prompt:

[If a person dies in depression or is irritated to death, there will be a mouthful of resentment in his throat, and the dead will continue to be angry, and the corpse will change after death.On the night of returning to the soul, the soul of the deceased and the corpse merged into one, turning the complete corpse into a manic living corpse with independent thoughts. ]

[Hint: This unit has the only way to prevent Yan Yinghao from completely transforming into a dead body.If Yan Yinghao's body is burned within seven days, the mission will fail and the player will be wiped out by the system. ]

The first half of the prompt is very close to the source of zombies in general zombie films, but the copy says "living corpse" instead of zombie, and clearly points out that "living corpse" has independent thoughts, which shows that "living corpse" is different from conventional zombies. Zombies are different.

The problem-solving ideas for this unit are not difficult. From the hints, it can be seen that the task is to prevent Yan Yinghao from turning into a dead body. Since Yan Yinghao has a resentment in his throat, let it out for him, and he will not become a living corpse.

To complete this task, one must find out the truth about Yan Yinghao's death.

"This...although I'm sorry for my father, but this is the end of the matter, and I can't harm all sentient beings because of the safety of my family," Mr. Yan said with grief, "For the sake of righteousness, I can only reluctantly cremate my father's body. He was kind to others in his lifetime. You should forgive me for my actions. I will contact the funeral home and arrange an emergency cremation!"

"Bang!" The door of the hall was closed suddenly, and the paper-wrapped figures on both sides of the altar were rattled by the wind, as if they were protesting.Mr. Yan was so frightened by the movement that he trembled all over, and fell silent for an instant.

"Mr. Yan, things like luck are not just about wealth. If luck is bad, there is no guarantee that you will be able to live smoothly until a hundred years later. I know of many cases where families were destroyed because of bad luck. I'm afraid this is not a risky thing. thing."

Yun Xubai walked to the front of the coffin, opened the corpse's mouth, and said half-truthfully, "You see, the old man has no other characteristics except for the elongated nails. We have all heard of zombies, but no one has seen them with our own eyes. If it is a misjudgment and the family is ruined, isn't it good? Even a corpse change has a process, why don't we wait a little longer, let's think of other ways first. "

As long as Yan Zhenghao's corpse transformation is not successful, the threat to Yun Xubai will not be great, but if the body is burned, the mission will automatically fail.Yun Xubai must find a way to protect the body.

Teacher Li had a different standpoint. He wished that Yan Zhenghao would die, and he almost jumped up anxiously when he heard this: "Mr. Yan, my apprentice has little knowledge, don't listen to his nonsense, it's better to be cremated earlier!"

"I think Teacher Yun's words are very reasonable, and the cremation should be delayed beforehand." Mr. Yan was persuaded by Yun Xubai, and he didn't listen to Teacher Li at all.

Teacher Li: "..." Didn't you say that you can't harm all living beings because of the safety of your family?How could you change your mind once you said you would die?

The Yin wind stopped, and the Lingtai became quiet again. Mr. Yan's expression softened slightly: "Since there is a possibility of misjudgment, please keep the two teachers secret for the time being. The funeral will continue, and if there is any change, I will stop it in time. As for the encoffining makeup..."

Yun Xubai said: "It has been inspected, and the embalming work has been done relatively well. The decay rate of the body is very slow, and it is no problem not to remove the makeup."

The corpse stopped decomposing after it began to fatten. Of course, the embalming work was done well.

Mr. Yan had no doubts at all, and said: "Although it is a bit difficult, can you ask the two teachers to fix my father's nails? It would be bad if there are guests coming to express their condolences tomorrow, causing unnecessary panic. The reward after seven days will definitely not Let the two of you down."

Teacher Li slowly rolled down two lines of tears: "Mr. Yan, you are indeed trying to make things difficult for others. After seven days, we may not be able to spend that money."

Yun Xubai patted Teacher Li on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's just a nail clipping. Teacher don't have to be so nervous. Leave it to me."

"Teacher Yun, it's good to have you here." Mr. Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, and said a little tiredly, "The two teachers should go to rest after their work."

After Mr. Yan left, Teacher Li curled up on the ground like soft mud, crying, "Apprentice, this time I'm really going to be killed by you!"

Yun Xubai quickly finished trimming the corpse's nails, and said casually: "I can't die, teacher, find me a nail polish with strong covering power and a natural pink color."

Manicure is included in the design of the remains, and there are usually a few bottles of nail polish in the work box of the mortician.

Teacher Li stopped crying, and asked in a daze, "Why do you want nail polish?"

"Give the manicure to the old man."

Teacher Li was stunned: "What time is it, you are still in the mood to mess around! This corpse is really likely to become a zombie, you still dare to mess around, aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid," Yun Xubai said without any fear on his face, "Give me the nail polish, hurry up."

Yun Xubai wasn't messing around, the corpse's nails were turning black, even cutting them short couldn't cover up the anomaly.He had to create the illusion that the body did not continue to gain weight in order to dispel Mr. Yan's idea of ​​cremating the body.

After painting the nail polish, Yun Xubai and Mr. Li covered the coffin together.

The two of them worked hard all day, they were so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs, and no matter how scared they were, they had to eat. Teacher Li dragged the "rebel" to the restaurant for dinner without saying a word.

Yan's restaurant is in the back garden, passing a long corridor.As he was walking, there was only the sound of Yun Xubai's footsteps on the road, his heart sank, his gaze swept behind him, and Teacher Li had disappeared.

The lights in the corridor were not bright at all, and now it was even more bleak. The bamboo leaves on both sides rustled in the night wind, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

"Master Yan?" Yun Xubai called out tentatively.

There was no "person" to respond to him, the sound of bamboo leaves shaking became louder and louder, and with a "shua", a black cat emerged from the bamboo bushes and squatted opposite Yun Xubai.

The black cat didn't have any stray hairs on its body, and its dark green eyes looked at Yun Xubai without blinking.

Yun Xubai thought of the black shadow passing by the window of the workshop this morning, the size and shape of it just matched the cat.

The cat's eyes turned a gloomy scarlet, and a dark shadow appeared under its feet, growing like a living being, and turning into the shadow of a man.

This is no ordinary cat!Its aura is very similar to the wraith attached to Teacher Li, but this time, Yun Xubai didn't feel its malice.

Yun Xubai leaned over slightly, and looked at the cat: "What's the matter?"

The shadow on the ground shrunk into a small ball, the cat waved its paw at Yun Xubai, turned around and ran away.

Yun Xubai thought for a moment, followed it, and walked a few steps before he realized that the sound of his footsteps had disappeared. When he looked down, there was no shadow, as if in a state of soul.

The black cat turned left and right and brought Yun Xubai to the back of a small single-family house, and stopped.

There was no light in the small house, and Yun Xubai heard a very soft voice. He had strengthened his hearing and could hear the content easily.

"The old guy's nails are long. I said that to him before he died. He should be very angry." This is Mr. Yan's voice, but the tone is mocking and contemptuous, as if a different person: "He won't I really took a breath, did you turn into a zombie? If you really turned into a zombie, would you be able to handle it?"

Mr. Yan acted like a filial son in front of people during the day, and called him "father" in front of people at night, and called his father "old guy" behind people at night. It seems that the relationship between the father and son of the Yan family is not as harmonious as it is rumored.Yun Xubai has reason to suspect that Yan Zhenghao's death is inseparable from Mr. Yan.

It was a woman's voice that answered him, softly and slowly: "It's hard to say, I've been a ghost all these years, and I haven't encountered a zombie yet, let's wait and see for a few days."

"By the way, the mortician said that they had encountered a ghost during the day. I guess what they saw was either the old guy or the little bastard." Mr. Yan snorted coldly: "I can't move the old guy for the time being due to luck. Help me solve it."

Yun Xubai raised his eyebrows, looked at the little black cat that almost merged with the night, and sorted out his thoughts.
