In an escape game...

The shrine was destroyed, the coffin was burned, and the villagers were more broken than in the morning, crying to put out the fire, but the fire was not extinguished, and they almost burned themselves.The scene was extremely chaotic, and the villagers were at a loss as if they had lost their backbone.

The fire could not be extinguished, so the villagers had to give up and piled a fire belt around the coffin.

Yun Xubai strolled up to Chen Feng's father, and asked with a sad face: "Uncle, isn't Chen Feng's body still in the coffin? It was just cremated like this. What about the geomantic land you chose? Why not open the coffin now and rescue him?" Let's take a look at the corpse?"

Chen Feng's father, who said that cremation was unlucky before, immediately changed his words: "For us, the corpse is not the most important thing, as long as the funeral is held religiously enough, we wait for the fire to go out, and the same is true for burial with ashes."

Seeing Chen Feng's father's guilty expression, Yun Xubai knew that he dared not open the coffin because it was empty.

The fog in the woods has completely dissipated, the clouds are cleared and the sun is shining, and the thin sunlight has once again favored this land.After experiencing the ups and downs in the middle, the time came to the afternoon unconsciously.The village chief finally decided to let the two villagers stay to guard the flames and collect the "ashes". The others went down to the village and planned the funeral tomorrow.

Compared with yesterday, this time the villagers even lost their coffins and shrines. Several people were ashamed by the fire and wilted like eggplants beaten by frost.

According to the timeline, this is the third day since the players came to Chenjiacun, but the curse mentioned in Chen Feng's suicide note did not show any signs.It can be seen that Chen Feng is still alive, and the curse has not returned to them. This is just a lie that Chen Feng deceived his friends to come to Chenjiacun.

Several players put on dry skin and went down the mountain with the villagers.

The players who parted ways with Yun Xubai did not show up. They saw a lot of blood on the way down the mountain. I don't know if it has anything to do with those players.

The accident just now made several people's spirits tense to the extreme, and now it's a lot easier to unload their energy. They chatted about some topics unrelated to the dungeon to adjust their status, talking and laughing along the way, and they were in a good mood.

Unfortunately, this state was broken shortly after.

Yun Xubai found Youdao figure standing deep in the forest.

Yun Xubai stopped and reminded his companions: "There are people in the forest."

The players stopped one after another and followed Yun Xubai's gaze.

The cold wind passed by, the trees swayed, and between the straight trunks stood a thin and tall man in a black coat, with some dead leaves falling on his shoulders and he did not brush them off.The man hung his head, unable to see clearly, and exuded a strong ominous aura.

The man was far away from them, and he could vaguely see a phantom under his feet. It was indeed a human being, not something evil like a mountain ghost.

Her shoulder-length hair couldn't explain why, but when she saw this man in black, she felt a tingling sensation in her scalp: "Who is it?"

Yun Xubai's tone was affirmative: "Chen Feng."

They were similar in stature, and the timing was subtle, except for Chen Fengyun Xubai, he couldn't think of another person.

The name was like a spell, the walking villagers stopped, even the wind slipped away quietly, and the tree crowns that shook their heads stopped for a moment.The man in black in the forest raised his head and looked straight at them.

They had all seen this face in their memories, but it was thinner and paler than in their memories.

Qi Jianfa opened his eyes wide, very surprised: "It's really Chen Feng, how did he become like this..."

Asked her to describe in detail what happened to Chen Feng, but she couldn't tell.Chen Feng's appearance has not changed, but his eyes are gloomy and malicious. He is completely different from the brave boy in his memory who sacrificed himself for his friends.

[Chen Feng actually showed up on his own initiative, it seems that the black-faced Sao Qingniang was injured, he couldn't hold his breath anymore]

[He really is completely different from what he remembers, looking half-human, half-ghost, eerie]

[Chen Feng didn't come over, what does it mean to just stand there? ]

[This look at each other, why do I feel as if I have been there for years?Those few memories must have left a deep impression on me, sigh]

Chen Feng was standing there, but the villagers started to hurry again as if they couldn't see it.The village head urged Yun Xubai and the others: "Why did you stop, it's getting late, hurry up and go back to eat."

Pointing at Lin Zi with shoulder-length hair, he asked, "Village Chief, haven't you seen Chen Feng?"

The village chief's expression changed, he looked around in a panic, and glared at her, "Nonsense, don't scare me by saying such things in broad daylight, go away."

"It's right there, but you still have to pretend to be blind." Qi Jianfa muttered, looking at Chen Feng again.

Chen Feng didn't avoid their eyes, raised the corners of his lips to show a half smile, turned around and ran away, leaving only an afterimage.

"Brother Xu, he ran away!" Qi shoulder said anxiously: "I don't know when it will appear next time, shall we chase it?"

Yun Xubai didn't fluctuate in his heart: "Don't chase, this is obviously a trap. Now he is the one who can't stand it. We are not in a hurry, we will follow the original plan."

[If you want Brother Xu to be fooled, you have to practice deception]

[But Brother Xu is right, Chen Feng must be unable to hold back anymore]

["The anchor is so handsome when he looks serious" rewarded 188 pieces of pink long johns that are necessary for a macho]

Probably because he found no one was chasing him, Chen Feng stopped for a while, but the players didn't plan to pay attention to him at all, and continued on their way.

The "person" who was ambushing at the side quietly appeared, walked up to Chen Feng, and said in a hoarse voice: "As I said, he is very cautious, and he cannot be fooled by a trap of this level."

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes: "Really be cautious, I'll think of a way."

The team of villagers has disappeared, and the shadows whispering in the forest gradually fade away.

……

After returning to Chenjiacun, the players went back to the hostel to rest, and finally had a chance to breathe. They sat around the corridor and began to summarize.

Today's harvest is quite big. I have been abused by the black-faced Sao Qingniang before, but today I finally got back. They are very happy.

"Those three people haven't come back yet, so they won't be unable to come back like the natural protagonist, right? Didn't we see blood on the road?" Qi Jianfa took a sip of water and said slowly: "That blood volume is already fatal .”

Jia Haoman thought for a moment and said, "There are three of them, so the whole army won't be wiped out."

"If they knew that Ah Xiang made a breakthrough and hurt the black-faced Sao Qingniang, they would definitely regret it." Blue Coffee sneered, "I'm angry when I think of what they said to Xiaoxu, what'we don't want to pay for your decision', that expression I am really impressed by their faces, this time they probably have to pay for their actions."

Shoulder-to-shoulder sighed: "It can only be said that they are too arrogant and too selfish."

"Okay, let's summarize the situation we have so far." Yun Xubai said unhurriedly: "The first point, as I said before, there are three conditions related to the appearance of the black-faced Sao Qingniang."

Blue Coffee quickly entered the state: "It's dark, it's raining, and the idol is bloody."

"That's right," Yun Xubai continued: "We have verified from the actual situation that if the sky is dark and the statue is blood-stained at the same time, or if it is raining and the statue is blood-stained at the same time, it will cause black faces to appear."

Jia Haoman thought for a while: "If it is a combination of two or two, the only condition left that is dark and rainy at the same time has not been verified, and I am not fully sure."

Blue Coffee shook the water in the cup, and said slowly: "These two are natural phenomena, which are not subject to our influence, so they can probably be ruled out."

Yun Xubai nodded: "Second point, the conditions for the black-faced Sao Qingniang to attack players, I believe everyone is very clear about this."

"There are two in total," Qi Jianfa said, breaking his fingers, "One is touching something related to the statue of Sao Qingniang, and the other is seriously injured."

Shoulder Qifa paused after finishing speaking: "Speaking of which, there are a lot of restrictions in this dungeon."

"The more restrictions there are, the harder it is to summarize the rules. The background of the story and the npcs are more complicated, which increases the difficulty of clearing the dungeon." Jia Haoman pursed his lips: "On the other hand, if there are no restrictions on a boss of this level, our The skills and props are limited, and it is difficult to deal with them at all.”

"It's exactly related to the third point to be summarized," Yun Xubai smiled: "The third point is the weakness of the black-faced Sao Qingniang, one is its conflict with the white-faced Sao Qingniang, the other is the fear of fire, and the third yes……"

With shoulder-length hair, he immediately sat up straight: "There are three more?"

Yun Xubai raised the corners of his lips: "Don't forget, there is still the last Buddha in Chenjia Village."

Shoulder Qifa's eyes lit up: "I almost forgot, so we have a lot of cards in our hands. I don't know if the Buddha is full, or we can steal incense and raise it later !"

The bell outside the door rang, and the black earrings helped another player into the guest house.Hei Erding's hand eaten by the ghost boy was nothing but bones, the other wounds were scabbed, and a few bloodstains were added to his face, which was very embarrassing.

Another player was injured more seriously, his shoulder was bloody, and his entire arm was blood-stained, like a blood gourd.

The two groups of people met their eyes, Hei Erding seemed to have not expected that Yun Xubai and the others would come back earlier than them, their expressions were surprised at first, and then only embarrassment remained.The other player's face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and he hurriedly avoided their gazes. He might have moved too much, coughed violently, and spit out two mouthfuls of blood.

[When they entered the door, they were still a little happy to have escaped from death. After seeing Brother Xu and the others, their expressions instantly collapsed]

[embarrassment written on their faces]

[This time two came back alive, luck is pretty good]

[Add one, I thought they would never come back]

Yun Xubai gave way to the injured: "Sit down."

Hei Erding suddenly felt even more embarrassed, his pale face flushed red, and he didn't move for a long time.

Although Blue Coffee said he disliked them, it was not to the point of dying: "Help him sit down, why are you standing there?"

Only then did Hei Erding thank him, and helped the injured player to sit down.

Hei Erding asked tentatively, "When did you come back? Are you not injured?"

"Come back early, everyone is intact."

Blue Coffee brought a healing skill, which healed the shoulder-length hair before.This time, the seriously injured player was also treated briefly.

The player didn't expect that Blue Coffee would treat him regardless of the previous suspicions. He was very ashamed, his head drooped, and his neck was almost bent.

Yun Xubai asked them what happened after they went down the mountain.Hei Erding said that shortly after they went down the mountain, they encountered the mountain ghost and the ghost hitting the wall. At first, the three of them were evenly matched, and there was still a chance of life. Later, they were injured one after another, and the player who persuaded them to go down the mountain abandoned them and ran away.

They escaped with a narrow escape, and saw the player's body on the road, which was eaten by the mountain ghost until only bones remained.

"The fog was still a bit heavy at that time. We deviated from the route and were injured. We have tossed and came back now." Hei Erding lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Recalling what happened in the past few days, every time something happened, it was your help. Me, but I did a stupid thing today, I shouldn't be so unsteady and listen to other people's words."

Another player broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a hoarse voice: "We really did not do this properly."

Blue Coffee shook his head: "The person who said harsh words to Xiao Xu before has died on the mountain, if he knew that Xiao Xu's contracted vengeful spirit broke out, not only expelled the black-faced Sao Qingniang, but also seriously injured her, he must regret it .”

Regretted using them to hold Sao Qingniang, regretted running away and opportunistically.

The two players were shocked: "Brother Xu seriously injured the black-faced Sao Qingniang?"

Blue Coffee nodded.

"How is this possible! How is it possible to do it?" Hei Erding still couldn't believe it. He originally thought that Yun Xubai just drove away Sao Qingniang, but he didn't dare to think that Yun Xubai could reverse the situation.

"It turns out that Xiaoxu did it," Blue Coffee pointed at the player's shoulder: "You were not chased and killed by Sao Qingniang because of Xiaoxu's driving away Sao Qingniang. You thought you got out by yourself." Lin Zi, it’s actually not the case. You dare to follow those who abandon your teammates, didn’t you think that you would also be abandoned?”

The two players felt as if they had been slapped, their faces were burning with pain.They were the ones who were not optimistic about Yun Xubai's victory at the beginning, and they were the ones who left, and they were the ones who were saved by Yun Xubai invisibly.

"Especially you, I really don't understand your thoughts." Blue Coffee put down his cup and stared at the bone palm with black earrings: "It was Xiao Xu who saved you before, why don't you give him a little confidence?"

Shoulder-length hair silently added a knife: "Who said before that we would part ways with us?"

Hei Erding's face was flushed, and he was very regretful: "I didn't expect him to be so strong. I deserve it this time. I really don't have the face to stay with you."

Yun Xubai reacted flatly to this, neither blaming nor showing off, as if he never took their choice and betrayal to heart.Everyone met by chance, Yun Xubai never asked everyone to trust him, nor interfered with the players' choices, but only regarded honest players as teammates.

The more he was like this, the more frustrated Hei Erding was.

The two players had no face to face them, and went into the room with their arms.

[These two people's intestines are regretful, they could win by lying down, but they have to choose the difficult road]

[Still parting ways, what a slap in the face, this time it's a bit difficult for them to hug their thighs again]

[They are all people who have just met, talking about trust is too false, I can only say that their vision for judging the situation is really poor]

["Zai Zai is a team" rewarded 1000 diamonds that can blind your dog's eyes]

As soon as they left, someone came back.

Seeing the people outside the door, Yun Xubai was startled.

It turned out to be the female player who disappeared with the natural protagonist yesterday!The female player looked haggard, and there was no serious injury on her body, except for a few scratch marks on her face and hands.

Others' reactions were even more exaggerated, they stood up directly, and even entered a state of alert.Everyone agreed that she was dead, but now she is back.

Yun Xubai witnessed the whole process from the appearance to the disappearance of the black-faced Sao Qingniang today. He can be sure that the two players who escaped from death just now had no chance to contact the black-faced Sao Qingniang.But the situation of this female player is different. She disappeared for a whole day and came back. The natural protagonist who disappeared at the same time as her also became the puppet of Sao Qingniang. That is to say, she may also have made a deal with the black-faced Sao Qingniang.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" The female player's voice was weak, she rolled her eyes after saying this, and passed out.

When the female player fell to the ground, she made a "bang" sound, which was not at all like acting.Seeing the female player lying at the door, several people looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.

"What's the situation?" The shoulder-length hair looked closer, and poked the female player with a spoon: "Can you save it?"

The situation is unclear now, the female player may have come back with a purpose, or she may have escaped from the dead and survived by luck.If the female player is pretending to faint, whether they save or not save does not affect the result.Yun Xubai said, "Rescue first."

"It's just overtired, nothing serious," Blue Coffee gave the female player a simple treatment: "What's her ID name?"

Yun Xubai remembered: "id calls the sunset to wake up."

This player's ranking is not low, so he disappears so easily, Yun Xubai still feels a little strange.

Sunset woke up soon after she woke up. She sat on a chair with her clothes on, and took the initiative to tell the players what happened after she disappeared: "After I went down the mountain yesterday, I got separated from other players. I was chased by the mountain ghost all the way, and finally I hid in the cave in the woods and spent the night guarded by props. Today I searched for a long time, and finally found the way back. I haven’t eaten all day, and my body is a little weak. I really trouble you.”

Sunset Wake's words sounded flawless at first glance, very sincere, and matched the scars on his body.But upon closer inspection, there are many loopholes, which are not true.

The players were not sure if she had any entanglements with the boss, and they couldn't drive her out, so they had to keep an eye out for the time being and observe.

Yun Xubai smiled at her, and said softly: "It's been an ups and downs experience, you must be exhausted, go and have a rest first."

Sunset woke up and blinked his eyes, his pale cheeks became a little weaker: "How about you, is there any progress?"

Yun Xubai said: "It's still the same, I was attacked again today, and I am adjusting my status."

"You can survive a catastrophe. Your strength is really beyond words. Maybe you have to take us through the customs." Blue Coffee smiled at her: "For this, you have to take care of your health. Go and rest."

It happened that Jia Haoman came over with the food, but Sunset woke up and couldn't find an excuse to stay, so he went back to the room with the food.

[Friends, do you think there is any problem with waking up at sunset? ]

[I feel a little weird]

[But she looks really gentle, and she was quite active before. She is not the same kind of person as the natural protagonist. What if she really came back alive by herself? ]

[Wait and see, if there is a problem, the fox's tail can't hide it]

Woke up in the sunset and left, Yun Xubai looked at the time: "It's time for us to get down to business, let's go."

After leaving the guest house, the first thing Yun Xubai did was to visit Sao Qingniang's incense vault.The villagers were probably shocked by the incident in the forest, but no one was guarding them.They easily swept away a large amount of incense and went to the small temple to find the old man who guarded the temple.

Shoulder-to-shoulder laughing: "Are we considered incense robbers?"

Jia Haoman answered the conversation naturally: "Steal from the rich and give to the poor?"

Yun Xubai waved his hands and said with a smile: "How can you call it a thief when it comes to punishing evil and promoting good?"

With sufficient incense offerings, the momentum of the small temple is completely different, and the Buddha's light can be felt across the road.

Yun Xubai knocked on the door, and the old temple guard opened a crack in the door, only to find that it was him who opened the door later, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he quickly opened the door to let them in.

This reaction was far from the last time I was greeted with sticks, and he teased with shoulder-length hair: "Master, why do you look like you saw the benefactor."

The old man nodded with a smile. He couldn't speak, but his emotions were written on his face.The old man looked at Yun Xubai, took out a stick of incense from his sleeve and shook it, as if asking him if he had any "goods".

The shoulder-length hair couldn't help laughing: "Hey, there are also code words for the joint, and it instantly becomes an underground trading scene."

When Yun Xubai said it was in stock, the old man was even happier and gave him two thumbs up.

"Let me translate for the uncle." Blue Coffee patted Yun Xubai on the shoulder, deliberately imitating the old man's voice: "Young man, you are reliable! You have a future!"

Everyone laughed at the same time, took out the incense sticks from the game backpack, and put them aside.Before the last incense burner was finished, the old man who guarded the temple had already replaced the small incense burner in front of the Buddha statue with a large incense burner, which was full of incense sticks.

The demeanor of the Buddha statue is completely different from yesterday's. The golden light is shining, sweeping away the malnourished image of the past.

[The appearance of the Buddha statue inhaling incense is actually a bit cute]

[Hahaha, look carefully, the corners of the mouth of the Buddha statue are raised]

Yun Xubai asked the old man who was busy exchanging incense sticks: "Master, do you know where I can find the statue of Sao Qingniang? It must have only white faces and no black faces."

The whole village is full of black and white Sao Qingniang. It is really not easy to find an original image of Sao Qingniang.

The old man paused and thought for a while, as if he had settled down.After a while, the old man waved his hand and asked Yun Xubai to go with him to search for the sundries.

Players also came to help.

"here has?"

The old man nodded, and nodded again.

Although there were many sundries, they were neat and orderly. With the cooperation of several people, they quickly found an original image of Sao Qingniang in a box.This Sao Qingniang is made of white cloth, the broom is tied with wool, and the facial features are embroidered on it. It is cute and cute, and it is very different from the current Sao Qingniang who has a black and white image.

I don't know who made this Sao Qing Niang, but the old man held it in his hands, as if recalling a past, his old face was full of tenderness.He lightly brushed the dust off Qingniang's body, and handed it to Yun Xubai.

Yun Xubai didn't answer, and bowed slightly: "Master, I want you to help me burn incense for Sao Qingniang."

The old man froze for a moment, then nodded solemnly, added a small table next to the Buddha statue, and solemnly placed Sao Qingniang on it.

Blue Coffee asked: "Xiao Xu, do you want to give the white-faced Sao Qingniang an extra meal?"

"I want to increase the odds of winning for the white face." Yun Xubai looked outside the door, his smooth side face was coated with a faint light: "We can't stay here for too long, we have to find another place."

"where?"

Yun Xubai said: "Chen Xiaohua's grave."

Jia Haoman suddenly realized: "Are you trying to force Chen Feng to show up?"

"I want to know what happened after Chen Feng came back." Yun Xubai recalled the scene when he met Chen Feng today, his eyes became colder: "I think the only thing that can shake his position is the matter related to Chen Xiaohua except death gone."
