In an escape game...

Yun Xubai and the others finished shopping around the first floor of the inn and the other courtyard, but found nothing unusual.Guests were not allowed in and out of the kitchen, and when they passed by, they smelled a faint smell of blood.

Livestock are often killed in the kitchen, and the smell of blood is normal, but Yun Xubai always feels a strong evil spirit inside, and even a little dizzy after watching for a long time.

He looked at the floor in front of the kitchen door, the color was much darker than other areas, and there was a layer of patina formed by long-term soaking in some kind of liquid on it, which was uneven.

The rabbit saw Yun Xubai's eyes turn on the door, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xu, you also feel an unusual atmosphere in the kitchen, right?"

Yun Xubai nodded: "There must be something wrong in the kitchen."

Before the few people could see what was going on, the shop waiter came over: "Masters, there are people coming and going in this place, so be careful not to bump into them. Later, our inn invited Liuhua girl to play the piano, and the lobby has already been turned on. The tea and snacks, how many masters can I use in the past?"

The waiter in the shop was all smiles, but his eyes kept glancing at the red note on the door that said "the kitchen is important, no idlers should enter", implying them to leave quickly.

As soon as the few people responded, they were respectfully invited to the lobby by the waiter.

Team Yunxubai and Team Hualizhi were still sitting next to each other. Several plates of delicate melon and fruit snacks were placed on the table, as well as steaming rose tea.The Shiba Inu checked one by one, and the food was all right, but the smell of the tea was a bit strange. Everyone was cautious and didn't touch the scented tea.

One after another, people entered the inn. These people held a lotus lantern in their hands, talking and laughing, and their three sentences could not be separated from "Liuhua girl".A few tables and chairs were added in the lobby, and they were filled up one after another.The costumes of these guests are very different. Some wear robes, some wear military uniforms, and some wear braids. At first glance, there is a feeling of time and space confusion.

The scarecrow observed these guests secretly, frowning: "Although this place is not considered a wilderness, it is also remote. Where do so many spectators come from?"

"Everyone in the town knows that the Soul Lai Inn is haunted, but they dare not mention it during the day, let alone come to watch the show at night," Yun Xubai adjusted his glasses.He said casually: "There are not many other things nearby, and there are the most wild graves. The guests here are probably not human."

The scarecrow became serious, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the lotus lantern in the spectator's hand was like a phosphorescent fire in the forest.

After a while, the spectators began to urge, asking when the shop waitress, Miss Liuhua, would appear.There were too many urging people, and the lobby was noisy.The proprietress of the inn personally appeared to appease the guests.

The proprietress was wearing a black flower cheongsam with a red background. She had an ordinary appearance, except for a pair of very black and bright eyes. When she opened her mouth, all eyes fell on her.

"Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient, Miss Liuhua will appear on the stage immediately. It's still the old rules, I hope everyone will donate generously and give Miss Liuhua a place."

The waiter in the shop carried a wooden tray to the venue, and the spectators unloaded their bags one after another, throwing things on it, some were silver notes, some were silver coins and copper plates, and some were gold and silver jewelry.

The waiter walked up to one of the teams of players and smiled at them with a row of big white teeth: "Master, do you want some noodles?"

The player had a cropped head and a scruffy beard. He glanced at the waiter, took out a silver dollar and put it on it.

"You are so rich!" The waiter in the shop narrowed his eyes into two slits with a smile: "You are new guests to our inn. According to the rules, the first time you tip a reward, you have to give me back a small change, just for the kindness of a repeat customer."

The waiter took out three copper plates from the wooden tray, returned them to the bearded man, begged others for a reward, and then returned some copper coins.

When it was Yun Xubai's turn, he also put in a silver dollar.The waiter in the shop said some auspicious words and wanted to return him a few copper coins, Yun Xubai said: "You don't need to look for it, I will reward you."

The waiter didn't have any embarrassment on his face, and happily accepted it.Yun Xubai took the lead, and the rest of the people didn't want the waiter to give change.

After the waiter left, Rabbit asked Yun Xubai why he did this.

Yun Xubai raised his eyelids lazily, and asked her, "Where did the money on the wooden tray come from?"

"It's a reward from spectators and players." Rabbit figured it out immediately, and his eyes twitched: "You said before that most of the spectators here are not alive. This money..."

Yun Xubai nodded.

The rabbit didn't continue, she looked at the spectators calmly, their faces were fresh, and they looked like ordinary people.

Yun Xubai nodded to her: "Look at the lotus lanterns at their feet."

The rabbit observed carefully and saw something in the lotus lantern, spinning lightly.The light projected by the lotus lantern hits the feet of the spectators, casting long shadows.The shape of the shadow is distorted, not like a human, but like a wriggling worm!Goosebumps appeared on Rabbit's arms.

Something is wrong with the spectators, and something is wrong with the inn, very wrong.

[If the guest who just arrived is not a living person, are the staff of the inn human?Are those hotel guests human? ]

[So the current situation is that the players are surrounded by ghosts?So exciting? ]

[Look at the shadows, the shadows of some npcs are normal, only those with strange shadows are ghosts, right? ]

[Perhaps the one whose shadow is normal is a powerful ghost. There have been such examples in the past. Judging by shadows alone is not very reliable]

[I want to go wrong... When brother Xu said 'reward you' just now, he looked like a gentle scumbag, especially wearing glasses, you understand]

[Upstairs, something is wrong with you]

The girl Liuhua came out after a long wait, walked gracefully to the stage with a pipa in her arms, bowed to everyone before sitting down.

Liuhua's appearance is a bit different from other npcs, the age seems to be earlier, I don't know if it's because of the show.She was covered with a face scarf, only her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were exposed, and she had the charm of a gentle and beautiful woman.

Light white fingertips swept across the strings, the piano sounded, the hall was completely silent, and countless pairs of eyes looked obsessively at the stage.

Yun Xubai had never heard such a level of performance before, and he was fascinated by it unconsciously.Soon, he felt something strange, the strings sounded like silk, invaded his mind along the ear canal, intertwined roots, disturbing his thoughts.Yun Xubai suddenly felt irritable, and he quickly covered his ears.

Looking to the side, the players were even worse than him, some of them had bloodshot eyes, and their faces were full of irritability and depression.

The rabbit handed him two small balls of paper: "plug your ears, it will be better."

The reaction speed of the players was very good. After realizing that there was a problem with the sound of the piano, they thought of various ways to block the sound.

Looking at the spectator seats again, the two npcs were affected by the sound of the piano, unable to control themselves, and fought violently.They were beaten badly, but Liu Hua and the waiter at the inn didn't interfere. The guests holding lotus lanterns watched with relish, applauded from time to time, and crazily set fire to each other.It seemed that they gave the inn a reward just to watch this scene.

In the end, the tall npc lifted the stool and slammed it fiercely at the short npc, smashing the short npc's head open.The short man fell into a pool of blood, twitching non-stop, and died after a while.The spectators nearby smelled the smell of blood and frantically rushed over.

Numerous hands reached out to the fresh corpse with residual warmth on the ground. From the player's perspective, it seemed as if a group of maggots were vying for the corpse.

The tall man looked at this crazy scene with a confused expression and his eyes were about to fall out: "I killed...I killed..."

The tall man looked at his palm, and he was about to collapse.He wanted to escape, but for some reason, he fell on the flat ground, hit his forehead on the broken chair, and lost his breath instantly.

More spectators flocked past.

The rabbit's stomach was churning, and he looked away: "It's so disgusting."

Yun Xubai said: "If our minds are affected, we will end up the same as that corpse."

"Hun Lai Inn is well-deserved of its reputation," the Scarecrow said with a cold face, "This is not just haunted, it's a haunted den."

After an unknown amount of time, the spectators with blood on their hands finally left, and the two corpses on the ground were beyond recognition, only a layer of skin and bones remained.

Finally made it to the end of the performance.

After Liuhua girl left the stage, several craftsmen came on stage to warm up the stage one after another, but nothing happened afterwards.

When the inn closed, the spectators left one after another, looking very satisfied.

"Today's performance is still as wonderful as ever!" The spectator said, licking the blood on his hands, with an endless aftertaste.

"Looking forward to tomorrow's performance, today these two are too thin, I like the round and smooth ones."

"I like white and clean, good-looking, like..." The female spectator who was talking looked around, her eyes stopped on Yun Xubai, she licked her dry lips, and said excitedly: "Like this, The skin is good and looks healthy, it must be very chewy. It's tender and delicious, I'm too greedy to suck it."

The other one was drooling when she said: "Leave the ass to me, just take a bite."

Yun Xubai just took off his earplugs when he heard this, and immediately wanted to put them back.

However, the female spectator's teasing was not enough, she even came to Yun Xubai and winked at him: "Young master, are you still there tomorrow night?"

The female spectator raised her slender hand to put it on Yun Xubai.Yun Xubai saw a cloud of black mist in her palm, and avoided it calmly.

"Little master, why are you so indifferent?" The female spectator probably thought that Yun Xubai had not escaped the confusion of the piano sound just now, and didn't see the real face of the spectator, so she caressed her charming face and smiled coquettishly at Yun Xubai: "Could it be that I am not enough?" Beautiful, can't you catch the young master's eyes?"

Yun Xubai didn't talk, he borrowed a folding fan from Hua Lizhi, and slapped the lotus lantern in the female spectator's hand a few times.The fire in the lotus lantern was extinguished, and the eyeballs of the female spectator fell to the ground. Before she could pick it up, she disappeared with the lantern.

The companions of the female spectators looked at me and I looked at you. None of them came forward to make trouble, and slipped away like oil on the soles of their feet.

"It's been said that this young master has an unusual demeanor, and she insists on provoking her. Now she's hit a hard nail, right?"

"Go, go, don't say anything."

Yun Xubai also folded a fan for Hua Lizhi, who was very surprised, and chased him and asked, "How do you know that ghosts will disappear when the lights are off?"

"It's like a guiding light, I want to try what will happen when it goes out." Yun Xubai's face was light.

Hua Lizhi smiled and said, "Your intuition is really amazing."

Ever since binding the prediction skill, Yun Xubai's intuition has always been accurate, even if he didn't bring the prediction into the dungeon.

The rabbit said: "In this way, even if we find the weakness of this wraith, we won't be afraid to face him in the future."

"These spectators come every night. We have to stay in the inn to do tasks, and we will definitely deal with them often." The scarecrow patted Yun Xubai on the shoulder: "Finding their weaknesses on the first night is considered a breakthrough."

Yun Xubai smiled lightly: "Onlookers are not our biggest opponents, there must be many secrets in the inn."

Outside the door, the spectators walked away, and their bodies merged into the night. Only a lotus lantern hung in the air, shaking and emitting a faint light.Farther away, the edge became clusters of phosphorous fires in the mountains and forests.

[Good guy, the female ghost was thinking about eating Brother Xu, and she was sent away by Brother Xu before touching her little hand]

[Brother Xu: I’ll be there tomorrow night, but you can’t seem to come]

[These ghost audiences look creepy, and they don't seem to have much strength, so they shouldn't be anything to be afraid of]

[It's really not very powerful, but it's really disgusting]

["Greedy little fresh meat, be careful to be sent away" rewarded 888 spiritual pearls]

The inn closed, and the guest npc and players returned to their rooms.

Rabbit used to share a room alone. After Coke knew about it, he offered to share a room with her so that they could take care of each other.Hua Lizhi and Shiba Inu are so acquainted that they don't know their gender, and they share a room together.

After tonight's event, the atmosphere among the several teams eased up a bit, at least on the surface.

Before Yun Xubai returned to the room, the cute-looking male player greeted him again: "Brother, if you have any problems tonight, just call me. I'm a light sleeper, so I'm sure I can help."

This player called himself a doll and did not reveal his ID. Yun Xubai hadn't gotten to his bottom yet, so he just nodded politely and returned a kind smile.

In order to receive more guests, the inn also has twin-bed rooms, and the conditions are relatively simple.Before going to bed, Yun Xubai deliberately divided the paper ingots he bought from the peddler into three parts, put them in the room of his teammates together with the matchbox, and told them that if something happened tonight, the first choice would be to burn the paper ingots, half of them first to see the effect.

After returning to the room, Yun Xubai and the scarecrow said it again.The Scarecrow laughed when he heard this: "I can't tell, you're quite frugal."

"Burning paper money to ghosts is equivalent to bribery, if you can spend as little as possible," Yun Xubai said it as a matter of course: "The saved money may be used for a second bribe."

The scarecrow cupped his hands: "I learned."

Yun Xubai didn't sleep soundly this time, and when he was half asleep and half awake, he always heard the sound of a pipa, like weeping and complaining, which disturbed him very much.

Yun Xubai dreamed of the durian flower playing the pipa tonight, holding the pipa and looking at him sadly.Liuhua shed tears and kept repeating a sentence: "I am in so much pain, please save me... Let me be free..."

Yun Xubai woke up with a start, opened his eyes, and rubbed his painful temples.Before his eyes got used to the darkness, he suddenly smelled a rancid and cold aura, right above his head!

Yun Xubai's heart skipped a beat, he raised his eyes and was dazzled by a bright light.A sharp knife was hanging over his head, ready to fall anytime!

Looking again, the "man" holding the knife was squatting at the head of his bed. His upper body was muscular, his face could not be seen clearly, and his whole body was filled with a creepy yin.

[Ah ah ah! !I was originally watching a sleep broadcast, but this time it gave me a refresher]

[I'm not afraid, I'm pretending to be woo woo woo]

[Zai Zai wake up!Get out of the way! ]

The ghost holding the knife found that Yun Xubai was awake, and raised the knife in his hand.How could Yun Xubai slash at him in a daze, and turned over neatly to avoid it.The knife plunged into the pillow with a "poof".

The ghost with the knife missed a hit, and stretched out a palm twice the size of a normal person, trying to pinch Yun Xubai's shoulder to control him.

Yun Xubai blocked it with a pillow, and the ghost's hand penetrated directly through the pillow, almost scratching his chest.

"A Dao, wake up!" Yun Xubai woke up the scarecrow while resisting the evil spirit.

The Scarecrow fell asleep and fell into a deep sleep.Fortunately, his quality was strong enough, after Yun Xubai yelled three times, he woke up.

Seeing Yun Xubai physically blocking ghosts, the scarecrow immediately woke up, and his first reaction was to save people.

"Don't use skills." Yun Xubai was pressed hard, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The Scarecrow remembered the conversation before going to bed, quickly found out the paper ingots and matches, and threw them into the brazier to burn.

The smoke dissipated, and the room was filled with the smell of fireworks. The ghost with the knife stopped attacking, inhaled the smoke heavily, and made a deep breathing sound.

Riding on the light of the fire, Yun Xubai could clearly see the knife in the hand of the ghost holding the knife. It had a very special shape, neither like a kitchen knife nor a weapon.

The head of the ghost holding the knife almost hangs to his chest, and his back is a little hunchbacked. Yun Xubai still can't see his appearance clearly, but can only see that there are many hideous scars on his body.

No one spoke, the two faced each other silently, and the atmosphere was like flames in a fire pan, rising continuously.

After the paper in the brazier was burned out, the knife-wielding ghost also disappeared.

The scarecrow breathed a sigh of relief: "This paper money is really useful, the peddler didn't lie to us."

"How much did you burn?" Yun Xubai asked concerned.

Apple head smiled: "Listen to you, I'm digging, it's only burned a third."

Yun Xubai was very satisfied: "Children can be taught."

[I found that capitalists are especially good at saving money orz]

[Hahaha, brother Xu will soon lead his teammates astray, it's too magical]

Yun Xubai lit the oil lamp and inspected the room, but saw nothing unusual except two black footprints left on the head of the bed.The upper body of the ghost holding the knife is extremely strong, but the feet are extremely small.

Yun Xubai took another photo of the scarecrow, and saw two black footprints on his bedside.

Yun Xubai frowned: "He went to your place first, and then came to my side."

The scarecrow followed his instructions, and his face turned pale: "I didn't realize it. This is the first time I fell asleep so deeply. It has never happened before."

A ghost was squatting on the bedside with a knife, but he was sleeping unconsciously. The more the scarecrow thought about it, the more he felt a chill down his back.

Yun Xubai thought for a while, and proposed a possibility: "It may be related to tonight's song, you are the last person wearing earplugs. Do you have nightmares?"

The scarecrow nodded: "I dreamed of Liuhua, and dragged my hand to let me save her. She was bleeding a lot. I kept trying to break free from the dream, but I couldn't wake up until you woke me up."

"It seems that the more you listen, the deeper you fall into the dream, and the harder it is to wake up," Yun Xubai knew in his heart: "Do you still feel uncomfortable..."

Yun Xubai's voice paused, and said seriously: "Your hair is a little strange."

The two were about the same height, and the oil lamp had limited lighting, so Yun Xubai simply held the lamp to shine on the scarecrow's head.

The scarecrow lowered his head in cooperation: "Maybe I fell asleep, my hair is long."

Yun Xubai saw a large patch of baldness, without even green skin, and it was smooth, like the ocean in the grassland, reflecting the light.

"You're bald." Yun Xubai looked at the scene, a little sympathetic and a little worried, but also amused.

"Bald??" The scarecrow suddenly raised his head, feeling a little cold on his scalp.

The Scarecrow touched the top of his head and found a smooth scalp.The scarecrow splits: "My hair is gone! I'm not a scarecrow anymore, I'm bald."

"It will grow back... maybe." Yun Xubai comforted him: "You usually tie your hair up, so you can't see the bald spots. If not, you can still wear a wig and a hat."

The scarecrow looked at Yun Xubai's thick hair, and was very envious: "Your Europe is really reflected in all aspects, even baldness, it bypasses you."

Yun Xubai didn't want to laugh because he was afraid that the scarecrow would be sad, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.

The scarecrow was really sad: "Don't laugh!"

Yun Xubai changed his way to comfort him: "Actually, your baldness proves that you are very close to becoming stronger."

Scarecrow: "..." qwq

Yun Xubai: "Actually, the scarecrows in the farmland are all bald..."

Scarecrow: "Please, don't comfort me anymore."

[Goose, goose, goose... I can't do it, Scarecrow, why are you bald with thick eyebrows and big eyes? ]

[Brother Xu is right, baldness is the fate of scarecrows]

[Ke Ke Ke Ke, fortunately he is bald and still handsome]

["Duozhuna" rewarded 10000 bottles of hair growth liquid that I don't know if it is useful]

Yun Xubai didn't dare to comfort him any more, turned his eyes away, and checked the scarecrow's pillow: "Your hair is gone."

The bald man... no, said the Scarecrow, "I know, they've run away from home and are no longer on top of my head."

"It's not on the pillow either." Yun Xubai recalled the knife in the ghost's hand: "The knife in the ghost's hand is old-fashioned. I never recognized it. It turned out to be a razor."

The Scarecrow withdrew from the bald man's sorrow, frowned and said, "Why does he only shave our hair? He can obviously hurt me, and even kill me."

"The purpose of shaving his hair is unknown, but his purpose tonight is not to kill people." This is why Yun Xubai is not in a hurry to check the room of his teammates until now.

The shaved ghost didn't know if he was still outside, so the two took a handful of paper money and an oil lamp to knock on the door of the next room.

They were in the penultimate room. After going to the room of their teammates, they found that Hua Lizhi was also bald.Originally, Shiba Inu could not escape, but she likes to cover her head before going to bed, and she woke up when she shaved her head and played with the quilt.

The rabbit is better, it wakes up as soon as there is any movement, and the burning paper sends the shaved ghost away.

As in the case of the Scarecrow, Hua Lizhi's shaved hair also disappeared.

Hua Lizhi covered her cool head and said sadly: "I am no longer Hua Lizhi, I am now a peeled lychee."

The scarecrow felt sour, and cried with him: "We are both fallen in the world, but you are an anchor."

"Pfft." Hua Lizhi was stabbed, and felt suffocated at the thought of having a bald head live.

[Kekeke, stop making me laugh]

[Fortunately, the beautiful girl was not bald, that would be a tragedy in the world]

["Miserable" rewarded 1000 bottles of hair growth liquid that may not have a dime effect]

There was still some time before dawn, and after confirming the safety of their teammates, they decided to sleep in shifts to prevent the shaved ghost from turning back halfway.

Early the next morning, players showed up in the lobby with dark circles and bald heads, yawning.

In the second half of the night, the ghosts shaved their heads and turned back, but they still slept poorly.

Yun Xubai looked down from the second floor, good guy, his eyes were dazzled by a few sparkling Mediterranean seas.

In addition to Scarecrow and Hualizhi, other teams also had their hair shaved.

Maybe it's because the bald head regrets the bald head. This morning, the smell of gunpowder between the teams was the weakest.

A fat man walked around the player's dining table and said in a deep voice, "This should be the legendary ghost shaved head."
