In an escape game...

Chen Feng's father brought Yun Xubai and the others into the ancestral hall, and the player who played the role of investigator also found a reason to go in together.

The windows of the ancestral hall are small, and poor lighting leads to a gloomy interior. The tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family are enshrined in them, arranged in a pyramid shape, and in the middle is a ceramic statue of Sao Qingniang.

This statue of Sao Qingniang is extremely finely made. Although the facial features are still simplified, they are much more figurative than the paper-cut ones.It wears a lotus hat on its head, and holds a small broom with well-defined roots in its hand. The whole body is painted very carefully and in bright colors.Yun Xubai purposely went around to look at it. This statue also has black and white sides, the white face is facing outward, and the black face is hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see the face clearly.

After daytime, all the saoqingniangs worshiped in the village turned pale faces outward.There must be a special reason for doing this, Yun Xubai wrote it down.

The ancestral hall kept burning incense, and the smoke lingered, and the players felt that the air was thin and their breathing was difficult.The villagers did not have such symptoms at all. They stood in the hall with their palms folded, murmuring in dialect, probably praying.

Chen Feng's coffin was placed in the center of the hall, and the newly painted red was particularly dazzling in the dim light.The style of the coffin was the same as the ones I had seen before, but there were some weird and twisted patterns painted on it with gold paint.Yun Xubai distinguishes carefully, and it turns out that all the paintings are Sao Qingniang.

These sweeping ladies have different expressions and gestures, some are praying for sunshine, and some are overlooking all living beings.After looking at it for a long time, the Sao Qingniang above seems to be moving.

Seeing that the coffin was sealed with thick steel nails, Yun Xubai felt a little strange, and asked Chen Feng's father: "Uncle, may I ask, are you cremated or buried here?"

"Buried." Chen Feng's father replied.

Some backward villages believe that cremation is unlucky and still maintain the tradition of burial.In other words, Chen Feng's body was not cremated and was still in the coffin.

Yun Xubai thought for a while, and tentatively asked, "Can we see Chen Feng for the last time?"

Yun Xubai's clear eyes were full of sadness, and Chen Feng's father looked a little embarrassed when he saw this look: "It's unlucky to open the coffin after it's been sealed. If you have anything to say to him, just say it. Surely you can hear it."

Since it was already known that Chen Feng's friends would come to bid farewell, but hastily sealed the coffin, otherwise they would see each other for the last time, which is a bit unreasonable.

Chen Feng's father glanced at the players, and put his hand on the coffin: "According to the custom here, when relatives and friends bid farewell to the deceased, they have to put their hands on his coffin and say 'go well', so that he can find the way to go to the underworld." Road, not attached to the world."

There are pictures of Sao Qingniang everywhere on the coffin, it is impossible for Yun Xubai to take the risk to touch it: "What if my friend is reluctant and says 'don't go'?"

Chen Feng's father's complexion changed drastically, and his dark skin like a knife was tightened: "Don't talk nonsense, big things will happen!"

"Ah!" Qi Jianfa let out a low cry suddenly, Yun Xubai looked at her, only to see that she threw herself on the coffin, her finger was cut by a nail.The dark red blood rolled down on the coffin lid, gradually disappearing.

Shoulder-length hair pale, quickly stood up, and glared at the villagers behind him: "Why are you pushing me?"

"I didn't do it on purpose..." The villager hurriedly bent down, apologetic: "I'm really sorry, I didn't stand still due to hypoglycemia, and bumped into you."

The villagers kept apologizing, and Chen Feng's father reconciled among them, but he couldn't have a shoulder-length hair attack, so he had to give up.

The wound on the finger is not that big, the problem is that the blood dripped on the coffin with the picture of Sao Qingniang, and the shoulder-length hair always feels ominous and restless.

Blue Coffee helped her treat the wound briefly, and Yun Xubai reminded her softly: "Don't fall behind today, don't act alone, pay more attention to yourself."

Shoulder-length hair nodded gratefully.

"When you saw Chen Feng's coffin, did you think of anything?" The woolen cap npc's eyes turned red as soon as they spoke, and tears welled up in their eyes: "I immediately remembered a lot of memories related to him..."

As soon as the beanie finished speaking, the players received a system prompt:

[When you saw the coffin of your friend Chen Feng, the memories of the past flooded into your heart, and you couldn't help crying bitterly.Crying and crying, a strange and familiar memory picture suddenly appeared in your mind, the erased memory seemed to resurface, and you began to approach the truth of that curse...]

A memory popped up in Yun Xubai's mind——

He was studying in the classroom with the shoulder-to-shoulder hair when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside.A young man with a frightened expression ran in from outside, locked the door, turned off the lights, and quickly closed the curtains.

Shoulder-length hair stood up and asked the man: "Chen Feng, what are you doing, is someone chasing you?"

Chen Feng raised his index finger in panic, and said in a low voice: "Please don't talk, I will leave when the ringtone disappears! Don't make any noise, let alone call my name!"

Shoulder-length puzzled: "What ringtone..."

At this moment, a crisp bell rang outside the corridor, and Chen Feng immediately covered his mouth and squatted at the foot of the wall.The others were frightened by his reaction and squatted down one after another.

The bell didn't disappear, and the rhythm was getting faster and faster.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door suddenly, and a girl's voice came from outside the door: "Is Chen Feng there? Is Chen Feng there?"

The girl's voice did not fluctuate, but with a smile, which was inexplicably weird.

No one answered, the girl continued to knock on the door: "If Chen Feng doesn't come out, I will curse everyone inside."

Chen Feng squatted at the foot of the wall and trembled all over, but he still didn't dare to make a sound.

The people in the door didn't know what was going on, so they moved shoulder-length hair in front of Chen Feng, and asked in a low voice: "The one chasing you seems to be a little girl, are you afraid of this?"

Chen Feng hurriedly covered his shoulder-length mouth, but it was too late.

"I heard voices...Chen Feng, I'm here to catch you." The girl outside the door laughed softly, and a dark shadow came in from under the door.

Here, the memories come to an abrupt end.

[The memory of the fifty cents is too much, and the girl is not allowed to show her face]

[The shadow just sneaked in, so he didn't show it to me, is this trying to scare me to death! ]

[Stop talking, I'm already scared by my own brain supplements, woohoo]

[Remember this ringtone, this is definitely the key point]

[The system prompts that brother Xu cried bitterly because of his friend's death, so I remembered this memory, I glanced at brother Xu, he seemed in a good mood]

This memory belongs to Chen Feng's friend, but the system shared it with all players.

It can be seen from this memory that Yun Xubai, shoulder-length hair, blue coffee, and the woolen hat npc are cursed by the girl because they helped Chen Feng escape from the girl's pursuit.Chen Feng said in his suicide note that the curse was once passed on to him, and now it has returned to several people. If they don't come to Chenjia Village to find a solution, they can only live for three days at most, and it will come to them.

"It" should refer to the little girl who cursed at that time.

The little girl didn't show her face, but the familiar ringtone already hinted her identity.

Blue Coffee said: "It seems that the erased memory can only be retrieved under certain circumstances."

Yun Xubai nodded: "There must be key clues in this memory, so it will be erased. After putting it all together, we may be able to know why Chen Feng returned to Chenjiacun."

"I heard the bell rang. Is the girl who didn't show her face in the memory Sao Qingniang?" Jia Haoman looked at the statue of Sao Qingniang on the incense table: "If so, why did it chase Chen Feng, and why did Chen Feng die?"

There are too many mysteries and too few clues in Chenjiacun, and no one can answer his questions.

After waiting for a while, the voodoo master invited the statue of Sao Qingniang to open the way ahead, the funeral team carried the coffin, and the group walked up the mountain.

The villagers held a brass bell, shaking it as they walked, chanting, "Sweeper Qingniang leads the way, and the little ghosts don't get in the way."

It was already broad daylight, and the thin sunlight poured into the sunken village, driving away the gloom and humidity.The temperature has risen a lot, but the snow on the mountain has not completely melted, and the soles of the feet will slip if you are not careful.

The most lively shoulder-length hair among the players was in a heavy heart because of the injury. He didn't chat with everyone like before. The players had different thoughts and just focused on walking.

When he was halfway up the mountain, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and Yun Xubai smelled a bloody smell mixed with snow.Looking up, the fluttering paper money changed color at some point.He caught one and saw that the paper money was stained with blood.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a huge black shadow rush out of the forest and hit a player!The nearby villagers were frightened and fled quickly, yelling "The mountain ghost is coming!".

The player was held down and wiped for a few meters on the ground until his back bumped into a big tree before barely stopping.The mountain ghost's palm grabbed the player's neck and brutally bit his shoulder.

The player reacted fairly quickly, pulled out a sharp knife in his hand, and tried his best to plunge into the mountain ghost's back.

The mountain ghost howled, the whole forest shook, and a flock of black birds flew away from the branches.

The angry mountain ghost roared, trying to give the injured player a fatal blow.The mountain ghost in the rampage is terrifying, and no player is willing to take the risk to save others.In this case, it may not be possible to save people after going there.

The player was still struggling, and the natural protagonist shouted at Yun Xubai: "Aren't you a god, save people!"

"The gods are bound to Brother Xu, you have to go up to block the damage for that player to trigger the gods," Qishou Qi stared at the natural protagonist unkindly: "You really don't feel back pain when you stand and talk, so you have a sense of justice, why don't you go save?"

"If I had God's favor, I would save my teammates even if I was injured," the natural protagonist raised his face, "I think he just doesn't want to use it!"

"You can change your id, don't call it a natural protagonist, change it to 'naturally don't understand human language', it suits you." Qishoufa looked at him speechlessly: "You are live broadcasting, remind you, continue to expose Your touching IQ, the audience will run away sooner or later."

"With his IQ, he can only think about Xiao Xu's gods." Blue Coffee looked at Yun Xubai's figure, and hooked his red lips: "When he was provoking trouble, Xiao Xu had already thought of other ways to save him." people."

The natural protagonist couldn't beat them, so he gritted his teeth angrily: "I want to see what he can do!"

He looked around and saw Yun Xubai standing in front of the miraculous sedan chair.

Yun Xubai's expression was loose, he looked at the statue of Sao Qingniang inside and shook his head: "The mountain ghost harms people, but the patron saint doesn't do anything. It seems that the legend is just a myth."

Regardless of whether Sao Qingniang is evil or not, she is definitely the patron saint of Chenjia Village. If the villagers were attacked, she would have already appeared.Now the mountain ghost is attacking the player, and it has no intention of coming forward to save people.

Hearing Yun Xubai's words, the witch and Gu Master turned livid, and said sharply: "Don't speak rudely to Sao Qingniang! This is disrespectful!"

"Really, if it's as powerful as you said, why didn't you show up?" Yun Xubai smiled lightly, and his attitude became even more contemptuous: "It can't be that you can't beat the mountain ghost and hide? How dare you believe in it?" A 'god' that even mountain ghosts can't beat."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The voodoo master was so angry that he was short of breath and almost fainted.

The eyeballs of the statue of Sao Qingniang moved silently, and the corners of the mouth drooped downward.Under Yun Xubai's sloppy gaze, a white light flew out from the miraculous sedan chair and headed straight for the mountain ghost.

A chubby white shadow appeared in mid-air. It swung the broom and beat the mountain ghost who was fighting with the player.The broom fell, and in an instant, wounds were cut on the mountain ghost's head.

The mountain ghost temporarily let go of the seriously injured player and went to meet Sao Qingniang.

Yun Xubai took this opportunity to take the injured player out of the battle center.

Yun Xubai pressed for him to stop the bleeding: "Is there any healing tool, you have lost too much blood."

The player nodded, struggled to use a healing item for himself, and quickly stopped the bleeding: "Thank you...you saved me."

Shoulder-length sent over to support, smiling and boasting: "This is a great way to use the aggressive technique!"

Blue Coffee raised an eyebrow: "Even Sao Qingniang is using her, she's insane."

Jia Haoman said: "It took so little effort to save people, amazing!"

Seeing this scene, the natural protagonist became even more jealous, and secretly clenched his fists.

[On the different effects of a method in the hands of different people: I was born unable to understand human language and wanted to provoke Brother Xu to take risks, but Brother Xu used the aggressive method to use Sao Qingniang to save the person beautifully]

[Hahaha I can't understand human language by nature, I laughed so hard]

[Brother Xu's operation is still so coquettish]

["Show it up!" tipped the popular anchor's favorite crispy fried chicken cutlet*100]

When Sao Qingniang drove away the mountain ghost, all the villagers knelt on the ground and worshiped, thanking the patron saint for exorcising evil spirits and saving lives.

Sao Qingniang was suspended in mid-air, without showing her facial features, she could only see a translucent round head and a cape-like body, looking like an ordinary ghost.

Yun Xubai saw that its broom was covered with blood, probably from the blood left on the mountain ghost by the players during the fight.

Sao Qingniang lowered her head and looked at the ground, and suddenly floated in front of Yun Xubai, sweeping up the snow under his feet.

Snowflakes fluttered one after another, and a scene flashed before his eyes.

The village in the picture should be Chenjia Village in the past, which is much more dilapidated than it is now. There was heavy rain in the sky, and the flood was wrapped in mud, rocks and big trees and rolled down the depression. Wherever it passed, the houses collapsed, and the villagers ran for their lives crying.

A child ran while protecting Sao Qingniang in his hand, crying and shouting: "Sao Qingniang, Sao Qingniang, please give us back the sunny day...as long as the sky is clear, I will give you anything... "

The child was running, tripped over a stone and fell, and the sweeping lady in his hand flew across the air, and the side that fell on the ground was stained by muddy water.

The mudslide rolled down behind him, engulfing the child's body and throwing Sao Qingniang into the sky.

Sao Qingniang, who was black on one side and white on the other, flew up into the sky staggeringly, rushing into the dark clouds.Then, a miracle happened.The dark clouds cleared and the sky cleared up. All the survivors looked at the little Sao Qingniang in the sky and bowed gratefully, calling it the patron saint of this place.

The illusion shattered and fell back to the ground with the snowflakes.

The white Sao Qingniang floating in mid-air snorted towards Yun Xubai, turned into a ray of white light, and went back into the statue.

It seems that Sao Qingniang was very dissatisfied with what Yun Xubai said before, so she specially showed him why it can win the love of the villagers.

Sao Qingniang saved the people in the village and naturally became the patron saint here.The first born Sao Qingniang was smeared with mud, so she was black on one side and white on the other, so the statues and paper-cuts in the village are of two colors.

[Brother Xu has made a lot of money, not only using Sao Qingniang to save his teammates, but also getting an extra clue to the background story]

[special treatment lol]

["Special love for special you" tipped the popular anchor's favorite roasted chicken thigh*100 copies]

The funeral team cleaned up the mess, rang the bell again, and set off again.

Jia Haoman walked in front of Yun Xubai and frowned: "It's a bit strange, Sao Qingniang's real body doesn't look like the big-headed black figure I saw last night."

"Because they are not the same at all!" The Tiansheng protagonist seized the opportunity to taunt Yun Xubai, completely unaware of how eccentric his words were: "Didn't you say that Sao Qingniang is the murderer? It will prove that your inferences are all wrong!"

The players didn't want to listen to the natural protagonist at all, and all looked at Yun Xubai in unison.

"Brother Xu, what do you think?"

"I found out that at night, the villagers use blood to worship the black-faced Sao Qingniang, and during the day they use tea to worship the white-faced Saoqingniang," Yun Xubai said. A black face kills, a white face saves."

Jia Haoman's eyes froze: "I just remembered when you said that. After dawn, all Sao Qingniangs changed directions."

Other players have also noticed this point, and they will understand as soon as Yun Xubai sums it up.

If Sao Qingniang had two souls, things would not be so complicated. Sao Qingniang is a patron saint and an executioner, which perfectly matches the dungeon's name "Double-sided Sao Qingniang".

"This is a preliminary inference. If it is correct, we only need to infer the conditions and methods of black faces appearing and killing people to avoid danger." Yun Xubai glanced at the sky and said slowly: "However, my intuition tells Me, the conditions that trigger the appearance of black faces are a bit complicated, and it is definitely not just the condition of the night."

The clouds in the sky moved, and a drop of rain fell on Yun Xubai's face.

Blue Coffee pursed his lips: "It's raining again."

First there was light rain, and then the raindrops became bigger and bigger, and a layer of fog quickly formed in the forest.

The figures of the villagers were hidden in the fog, and the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared.Not only did the hypnotic ringtone not disappear, but it became clearer.

The players watched the figures of the villagers being engulfed by the fog, and did not dare to continue walking blindly.

Jia Haoman shouted: "The villagers are gone, don't leave yet!"

Some players said: "It's weird, the villagers are gone, but this coffin is still there."

The red coffin painted with the pattern of Sao Qingniang was placed in the middle of the road. Under the nourishment of the rain, the red was even more dazzling.

"Only one coffin is left, which is creepy."

"It must be weird, don't get too close."

The players looked at each other, not knowing what to do with the coffin for the time being, so they didn't get close to it just to be on the safe side.

Under the gaze of several eyes, there was a sudden movement inside the coffin.

"Boom, boom, boom..."
