In an escape game...

When the villagers disappeared, the shoulder-length hair was transferred into the empty coffin by a mysterious force. After Yun Xubai drove away the black-faced Sao Qingniang, the coffin destroyed by him returned to its original state.

The steel nails of the coffin were intact, and there were no traces of a shovel or an axe.

The villagers did not set off in a hurry, they gathered around the voodoo master, discussing something in dialect.Yun Xubai saw that the statue of Sao Qingniang on the shrine had turned black, with her face facing outwards, without a broom in her hand.He wanted to step forward to take a closer look, but the statue of Sao Qingniang suddenly turned back to face outwards again.

Worried that Bai Sao Qingniang would show up, Yun Xubai turned to look for the small ceramic broom that he knocked down.

When passing by the coffin, he heard Blue Coffee say: "This coffin is really exactly the same as before, silently erasing the traces we left behind."

Yun Xubai said softly: "The coffin has changed."

"Where?" Blue Coffee couldn't see it anyway, not even the blood on the ground, let alone sawdust and steel nails.

A smile floated on Yun Xubai's lips, and he pointed to the paintings on the coffin lid: "Look at these paintings, Sao Qingniang doesn't even have a broom in her hand."

The content of the painting has not changed, but the broom in Sao Qingniang's hand has disappeared, and her empty hands seem to have no place to rest.

"Really!" Blue Coffee recalled the scene of Yun Xubai kicking Sao Qingniang into the space crack, and couldn't help laughing: "Look, the expressions of these Sao Qingniangs have become fierce, and they look very unhappy."

Yun Xubai smiled, and tried to put the small ceramic broom on the ground into the game backpack through the air, and it succeeded.

[The broom is lost, can you be happy hahahaha]

[Brother Xu is really cautious, you don’t even need to touch the broom when you pick it up]

[I guess Sao Qingniang will come to ask him for a broom tonight]

[Then I promise, Sao Qingniang smiled and asked for a broom, but was sent away by Brother Xu while crying]

["Sit and wait for the wonderful moment tonight" tipped a warm baby*100 boxes to accompany you through the warm winter]

Blue Coffee said: "You put away his broom, it may come to you tonight to ask for it."

Yun Xubai: "It reappears, and I can judge the regularity of its appearance."

"Okay, anyway, if it doesn't work, send it away again," Blue Coffee said and laughed: "I didn't expect your skill to have such a magical effect. How did you think of using this trick to restrain it?"

Yun Xubai pondered for a moment: "I think the conditions for the appearance of the black face are inseparable from this weird rain, so try to send it to a place where there is no rain. If it doesn't come back quickly, it proves that it is in a sunny day cannot exist."

Facts have proved that Yun Xubai's idea is correct.

"The last time the black-faced sweeper appeared at night, this time it was raining," Blue Coffee pondered carefully: "Darkness and rain are natural laws that cannot be controlled. But we can avoid the conditions of death, as long as we don't touch and sweep Even if something about Qing Niang appears, it won't kill us."

Yun Xubai raised his eyes, and said slowly: "Touching the statue of Sao Qingniang is just one of the taboos. We haven't fully analyzed the conditions for the appearance of black faces and the conditions for death. We still have to be careful."

"For a level 36 dungeon, the mortal conditions are not that simple," Jia Haoman nodded in agreement: "Xiao Xu's last dungeon was a level 16 dungeon, he leaped so big all of a sudden, and he still behaved so calmly, with really strong adaptability. "

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten, brother Xu is a newcomer to this game compared to us," said the shoulder-length hair recovered a bit, and his mental state was much better: "As a senior, I still lag behind, I really have no face to face Jiangdong's elders. "

Yun Xubai encouraged her: "Then cheer up."

While talking, two players who left when opening the coffin came back.The two were not injured, but looked distressed.

Jia Haoman asked: "Why are you the only ones back, what about the others?"

"Not long after we walked down the mountain, we met the black-faced Sao Qingniang, who killed the seriously injured brother as soon as she appeared," the player with black earrings showed a trace of fear in his eyes: "We got separated to escape the pursuit, Yu After stopping, I realized that I didn’t go far at all, so I wanted to come back to see if you were still there.”

Blue Coffee looked at Yun Xubai: "The person you rescued died."

Jia Haoman said: "He was injured by a mountain ghost. He never touched Sao Qingniang, but he became a hunting target."

"Add one more must-kill condition," Yun Xubai said in a deep voice, "seriously injured."

When Hei Erding saw the coffin, his face changed: "What's the situation here, why is this coffin nailed up again?"

Qi shoulder hair said: "Brother Xu drove away the black-faced Sao Qingniang, and that's it."

Blue Coffee touched his smooth chin: "There was no corpse when the coffin was opened, and now the coffin has returned to its original state. So, do you think there is a corpse inside? If there is no corpse in the coffin, is Chen Feng dead or alive?"

Yun Xubai replied: "What happened just now may be the truth, or it may be an illusion deliberately misleading us. If it is the truth, I suspect that Chen Feng's death was a hoax to lure us into the urn."

"Then... what do you mean?"

Yun Xubai stared at the intact coffin, lowered his voice: "Open the coffin again."

"Why not? I'll be buried later. Do you want to confront the villagers face to face?" Jia Haoman became serious, with a grim expression: "Conflicting them is not good for us."

"Indeed, we live in other people's territory in poor mountains and rivers," Hei Erding said: "Although we have skills and props, we have freezing time and usage times, which are not enough to save our lives at critical moments, and we cannot use them to fight the villagers. .Look at them, several people are holding shovels and knives, if you open the coffin in front of them, you will not be beaten!"

"Let's go back and find a chance to open it again." Yun Xubai raised his brows, "Quietly."

Hei Erding repeated Jia Haoman's words, and stared: "I'll be buried later, what are you thinking about?"

Yun Xubai was confident: "I can't be buried today."

The villagers were still muttering about something, but they still didn't hurry, and several players were also a little confused.

"How to say?"

Yun Xubai said succinctly: "This funeral is not that simple. The expulsion of the black-faced Sao Qingniang will have an impact on the funeral."

After thinking about it, Hei Erding felt that Yun Xubai's words made sense: "I found that you can always see things we can't see, it seems that no matter how complicated or hidden the clues are, they are always clear to you. "

Hei Erding was lamenting the gap between the two, and Chen Feng's father had already walked over there.

Chen Feng's father looked apologetic, and said slowly: "I'm really sorry, I met a mountain ghost on the road, and the voodoo master said that Sao Qingniang was not in good condition, and it's not suitable to be buried today. We have to go back the same way, and go up the mountain tomorrow at an auspicious time. .”

The players responded with a few words, and the funeral team had picked up the coffin and set off again.However, this time it is going down the mountain.

Hei Erding cupped his fists at Yun Xubai: "You are really good at predicting things."

"However, Chen Feng said that we are cursed and can only live for three days. The curse can only be undone by performing certain rituals at the funeral." Jia Haoman pursed his lips: "If the funeral does not take place, the curse will not be released." Will it come true?"

"If Chen Feng hadn't died, there would be no such thing as the curse coming back to us." Yun Xubai's thinking was very clear, and he had considered every point: "After opening the coffin, we will make the next step."

[Cloud. Divine fortune-telling. Saying white]

[He is really strong, the dungeon that has crossed level [-], the clues are broken and the story line of the dungeon is confusing, from the beginning to the present several life and death crises, he can always solve it easily]

[Have you noticed that brother Xu has a natural cohesion, no matter the low-level or high-level players, players always gather towards him naturally.I can't wait to see Brother Xu standing on the top, I must see that grand sight with my own eyes! ]

[Why did I start to feel emotional after watching it? The anchor is the type who is strong when he is strong. It is normal to be strong, but he is not as skinny as before. This dungeon is going very steadily]

[The natural protagonist hasn't come back yet, could he be cold already? ]

There is no public list of players in the live broadcast room, and there is no way to judge death by the color gray of the avatar.

On the way back, they encountered two slightly injured players. The natural protagonist and another female player never appeared.The villagers paid no attention to the disappearing people, as if nothing happened.

After returning to the village, the villagers put the coffin back in the ancestral hall and invited the players to have lunch.

The players discussed and planned to go to the ancestral hall during their lunch break. If no one was guarding the coffin, they would hurry up and act.

After lunch, the two missing players still haven't returned.The sky cleared up, and the villagers went home to rest and prepare for the afternoon farm work.

Yun Xubai didn't want to make too much noise, so he went to the ancestral hall with Blue Coffee, Jia Haoman and Hei Erding.

Smoke comes out of the tall and narrow barcode windows, the glazed tiles of the ancestral hall glisten in the sunlight, and a red coffin can be seen through the gap in the gate, which is mysterious and strange.

Sitting under the eaves is a thin old man, who should be the keeper of the coffin.

Yun Xubai quickly made a decision: "Haoman goes to lure the guards away, Xiao Hei is in charge, and Coffee and I go in and open the coffin."

Yunxubai and Blue Coffee have opened once, and they are proficient in their business.

The players responded one after another. After Jia Haoman led the guard away, Yun Xubai and Blue Coffee entered the ancestral hall.There was no one in the main hall, the incense was constantly burning, and the air quality was still very poor.The statue of Sao Qingniang has been returned to its original position, the abstract facial features extruded a very unhappy expression, and the two simplified eyes seemed to be staring at the two uninvited guests who sneaked in.

Bai Saqingniang is not in danger, and Yun Xubai is not afraid. If it comes out, it can take the opportunity to ask for some clues.

Blue Coffee skillfully pried the steel nails on the coffin, sweat dripped from his forehead: "There are too many memorial tablets here, and there is always a feeling of being watched by many people doing bad things."

"We're not doing something bad. Think about it. If the coffin is parked in the ancestral hall, if there is no corpse inside, wouldn't these villagers be deceiving their ancestors and committing robbery?" Yun Xubai said clearly, raised his chin and lit the incense table : "We are sacrificing precious time to return them the truth."

"You're right, they still have to thank us." Blue Coffee smiled, and his movements became more agile.

Soon, the coffin lid was carefully removed by a shovel, and there was nothing inside except a complicated talisman.

"There is no body. What we saw on the mountain is the truth. Chen Feng's father lied." Blue Coffee took a deep breath: "Chen Feng may not be dead."

At this point, they receive a system prompt:

[The funeral was suspended due to an accident, you were very sad, and entered the ancestral hall to mourn your friend.You want to quietly open the coffin to see your friend for the last time, but you find that there is no corpse in the coffin.A question arises in your mind, where is your friend's body? Is he really dead? ]

[Next task: Find the truth about Chen Feng's "death". ]

"If he didn't die, that suicide note was the beginning of the deception, and the curse has not been transferred to us at all." Yun Xubai began to review the events of this dungeon, his eyes lit up: "Do you still remember the Highwayman?"

Blue Coffee nodded.

Yun Xubai glanced at the statue of Sao Qingniang on the incense table: "Let's go out first."

After covering the coffin, they walked out of the ancestral hall.

Behind them, dozens of old people appeared on the densely packed tablets. They floated in mid-air at different heights like taking a group photo, watching the backs of the two leaving expressionlessly.

[I'm in a hurry...do you see Brother Xu's back, my scalp is numb]

[Crying in horror! ! ]

[Brother Xu, you go forward boldly, don't look back! ! ]

["High energy behind the back!" rewarded 188 bottles of mother brand eyewash*]

The bullet screen has been swiped by exclamation points, it's hard for Yun Xubai not to notice.Through the light screen, he saw the scene behind him, and his back was a little hairy.

He didn't intend to turn back, but when he took another step, a system prompt appeared in his mind again:

[You worry about Chen Feng's life and death, and your mind is full of curses and suicide notes. Just when you are about to leave the ancestral hall to change your mood, a strange yet familiar memory emerges in your mind]

Strange memories flooded into my mind, this is one of the characters' erased memories——

The characters are the same as the previous memory, but the location has changed.They were not in the classroom where they were chased by the black ghost last time, but on the empty rooftop. They probably escaped by luck last time.

"Chen Feng, what happened last time?" Yun Xubai in his memory had two dark circles under his eyes, and his mental state was very poor: "At first I thought that little girl was just scaring us, but recently I always do Nightmare, I always feel like something is following me. Have you provoked something dirty and got us involved?"

Chen Feng lowered his head and kept scratching his hands: "I, I don't know how to explain to you..."

"Well, I'll ask you to answer. What is that little girl and why did she chase you?" Yun Xubai asked in his memory.

Chen Feng bit his lip, did not answer, his head lowered lower and lower.

"Chen Feng, you came out of the mountains. When you first came here, you had no friends and didn't understand anything. We played with you to help you integrate into this place." The blue coffee in memory supported Chen Feng's shoulders: "Now we Because if you get involved in this kind of thing, you might die one day, and you still hold it back, can you have a good conscience?"

These words became the last straw that crushed Chen Feng. When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears: "I... I have never forgotten how kind you are to me. There is no other way out. I really regret dragging you into this matter, really..."

"Then you answer our question."

Tears rolled down Chen Feng's dark and thin face: "This is the secret of our Chen family village. If I spread it out, it will be even harder for you to get rid of it!"

"Don't be silly, we can't get rid of it now."

Chen Feng gritted his molars, and said still: "Chen Family Village does not allow young people to go to study far away. I escaped from Chen Family Village, and it was the patron saint of the village who chased me down."

"Why did you escape from Chen Family Village?"

Chen Feng raised his head, crying very sadly: "Because..."

The memories ended here, and the memory pictures in my mind disappeared as little stars.

Chen Feng's answer became a suspense, and the audience in the live broadcast room wailed, saying that the dungeon was too bad.

Yun Xubai also felt that the answer was very important, and it seemed that they could only find the answer by themselves.

After the memory ended, the wraiths behind them didn't do anything. The two left the ancestral hall smoothly and joined other players.

The players gathered under a big tree near the ancestral hall. After Yun Xubai finished talking about the situation of the ancestral hall, he brought up the roadblocker again.

"The roadblock has never hurt us, it just stopped us and prevented us from moving forward. But at that time we couldn't see its intention." Yun Xubai had already organized his thoughts in his mind, and said it very smoothly: "It is It was warning us not to enter Chenjia Village. The ringtone of Sao Qingniang that appeared later was not to save us, but to stop the ghosts from saving us. The ringtone lured us into a trap, the purpose of which was to confuse us and put down the sound of Sao Qingniang. vigilance."

That's why the roadblocker painted Sao Qingniang on the window, even though he only painted a broom.

When Blue Coffee recalled that scene, he felt a sense of enlightenment. After a moment, he said in frustration: "Warning is useless. If we don't enter Chenjia Village, the mission will automatically fail."

Jia Haoman said: "We also encountered ghosts blocking the way, and we really didn't think about it at the time."

"The appearance of the ghost blocking the road must be of great significance, you guys let me think about it." Yun Xubai replayed the beginning of the ghost blocking the car incident from beginning to end, not missing any details.

Blue Coffee was also thinking about it, but found nothing: "I really can't think of any other meaning."

Yun Xubai thought of the bloody broom graffiti on the glass window, and the dazzling flame when the Highwayman disappeared.The blue-purple flame burst out from his mind, illuminating his eyes.

An idea flashed through his mind with sparks, and it was fleeting.But there was no basis for this idea, so he had to temporarily suppress it.

Blue Coffee saw that his eyes darkened again, and said, "Don't think about it, Xiao Xu, there are more difficult things now."

Jia Haoman nodded: "Yes, we have to find out the truth about Chen Feng's death. This dungeon is a staged task. After completing this task, you will get the next task."

Several people discussed it and decided to go to Chen Feng's house to find clues.Several other players want to find the gods, and act separately from them for the time being.

Yun Xubai and the others asked for directions along the way and found Chen Feng's house. The door of his house was not locked, and Chen Feng's parents could be seen watching TV in the hall from a distance.

Jia Haoman said: "Chen Feng's parents are at home, let's go in."

Yun Xubai stopped him: "No rush, let's take a look first."

Their location is very close to the Chen family, but they are somewhat secretive, even if Chen Feng's parents turn around, they may not be able to see them at a glance.

[Brother Xu: Observing jpg secretly.]

[Ha ha ha eavesdropping corner skills come back out of the rivers and lakes]

There are still funeral things hanging at the door of Chen Feng's house, and one can feel the atmosphere of the funeral at home from a distance.But Chen Feng's parents had a casual attitude, and from time to time they laughed cheerfully because of the TV program, which was completely different from the image of grief in the morning.

Shoulder-length hair scratched his head: "The air in the house is full of joy, are they really sons who just died?"

Yun Xubai: "Go and visit, find a chance to enter Chen Feng's room."

They knocked on the door, and Chen Feng's parents immediately turned off the TV, with sad expressions on their faces again, and came out to welcome them in.

"You have been busy all morning, you don't take a break, but you come to visit us, you are really a good boy." Chen Feng's father sighed, his eyes were full of emotion.

Yun Xubai showed a docile expression: "If something like this happened this morning, I really can't worry about my uncle and aunt."

Chen Feng's father's eyes turned red: "It's hard for you child to be so careful. Your aunt and I really feel very uncomfortable. If the child is not buried, we will not feel at ease."

Yun Xubai: "I see." Just now I heard you laughing "kekekeke", it's really sad.

Mother Chen went to make tea, and a few people sat in the living room. Yun Xubai asked Father Chen: "Uncle, do you know why Chen Feng went to study with us back then? I heard that children are not allowed to stay too far away from home in the village?"

There was a strange look in Chen's father's eyes, and he subconsciously avoided his gaze: "There is no such thing, our village is very enlightened, and we can go to school if we pass the exam. We all support it."

This is completely different from Chen Feng's answer in memory. Someone must be lying. Based on the situation, Yun Xubai tends to believe Chen Feng.

Yun Xubai asked tentatively: "Then why did he suddenly come back from school?"

Father Chen sighed: "He was unhappy in the city, so he came back."

Yun Xubai continued to lie to him: "But I heard from him that his return is related to the curse on us. You said that everything was arranged before Chen Feng passed away. You knew about the curse of us by the patron saint back then, right? .Didn't you invite Chen Feng's patron saint?"

Father Chen's eyelids twitched: "Xiaofeng just confessed this matter to us before he passed away, and he didn't go into details. But you misunderstood, the patron saint is there to protect Xiaofeng, and accidentally injured you when expelling the evil spirits. Don't worry , when the funeral is over, the curse on you will disappear."

After seeing the second memory, and then listening to Father Chen's words, I only felt that there were many lies.

It's pointless to ask.

Yun Xubai rubbed his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "I lent Chen Feng an important thing before, but he never returned it to me. Can I go to his room and look for it?"

Father Chen was very embarrassed: "It hasn't been buried yet, so it's not suitable according to the customs here."

"That thing is very valuable and very important to me. You don't want him to leave in debt, right? His reputation is not good."

Father Chen couldn't agree with Yun Xubai, so he had no choice but to agree.He offered to search with them, but before he could take any action, he was dismissed by Qi Shifa.

[Brother Xu and Chen Feng's parents are acting with each other, or Brother Xu's acting skills are slightly better]

[That is, our brother Xu is the uncrowned actor]

[Looking at the reactions of these two couples, I am even more sure that Chen Feng is not dead, or they are the ones who killed him together]

Chen Feng's room was on the second floor. As they walked, they paid attention, and they felt that the Chen family did not have the atmosphere of a family member dying.They really hoped to find Chen Feng here, but unfortunately they didn't.

Chen Feng's room was very simple, with nothing but simple furniture.There is a small amount of dust, indicating that it has not been cleaned recently, but it has been lived in not long ago.

The sundries were neatly arranged, Yun Xubai mainly searched the desk, there were many books on it, but there were no diaries or anything like that.

After searching for a while, no one found any effective clues.

Jia Haoman clenched his fists and said regretfully, "Could it be that the clue is going to be broken here?"

Yun Xubai found a black wallet under the desk, opened it, and there was a photo in the interlayer: "Look what I found."
