In an escape game...

After the fat man uttered the word "ghost shaved head", there was no sound in the lobby.

"Ghost shaved head" is an old saying, and it is "alopecia areata" in today's words. It is usually caused by excessive stress or other reasons, and it can be cured with medicine.People in the old days couldn't find the reason for alopecia areata, so they said that ghosts shaved off their hair quietly.

But in the dungeon, the players' hair was indeed shaved off by ghosts.This fat man is not a player, so to talk to them at this time must be an npc who has information.

Yun Xubai moved a chair for the fat man, and said politely: "You seem to understand it very well, can you explain it in detail?"

The fat man sat down with his big belly in his arms, and stroked the two mustaches around his mouth: "No one else in this inn knows about this kind of folk tales except me."

"Please say."

Fatty was very satisfied with the curious eyes of the players, and he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Some people wake up and find that their heads are inexplicably bald, or several pieces are inexplicably bald, and the black and white are distinct on the head, as if they have a strange disease. I have traveled all over the years, and I have seen one or two with the same symptoms as yours."

Fatty held a folding fan in his hand, and behaved like a storyteller, which easily aroused the curiosity of the players.

"and then?"

The fat man looked left and right for a while, and said in a low voice, "This strange disease is called 'ghost shaving your head'. When you sleep at night, a ghost takes a knife and shaves off your hair, and it becomes what you are now. A shaving ghost is usually a barber before death. I couldn't let go of my work, so I came out at night to resume my old work, and practiced with each of your heads."

The players whose heads had been shaved touched their heads in unison, remembering the shaved ghost squatting on the bedside last night, with a chill behind him.

"Can it grow back?" Hua Lizhi asked.

The fat man opened the folding fan and shook his head: "The hair shaved off by the ghost will never grow back, without exception. What's even more frightening is that as long as you still have hair on your head, the ghost who shaved the head will come to you every night until you die." There is no end to a single hair. The barber himself shaves your hair, and the last knife will be pierced into your skulls!"

The fat man's tone was frightening, and those who had their hair shaved covered their heads in despair.

Yun Xubai pondered over the fat man's words, and asked softly: "Do you have to be in person?"

He was relatively close to the fat man, others couldn't hear what he said, but the fat man could hear him clearly.The fat man's eyes flickered, and he nodded.

The rabbit asked, "Then how did the two people whose heads were shaved by the ghosts you met survive?"

The fat man looked at the time pretendingly, and patted the table: "Oh, I'm running out of time, let's go first, I wish you all the best."

The fat man put oil on the soles of his feet, no matter what the players said, he went out the door with all his strength, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The player with the round hat sighed: "This fat man is talking for nothing, and he didn't tell us how to solve it at all. But he reminded us of one thing, the shaved ghost has to come tonight."

"At worst, we sleep with our heads covered and helmets on," Hua Lizhi said, "I'll see how he shaves it!"

The players were amused by Hua Lizhi, and the atmosphere became lively.

After the laughter was over, the doll blinked a pair of black deer eyes, and slowly swept across the faces of the players: "There are some words that I don't know whether to say or not."

The player with the Buddhist beads in his hand nodded to him: "You can say what you want, it's not that particular."

The doll pondered for a while, then said warmly: "In the team competition, each team is a competitor, but we are not only opponents, but also partners. I believe you don't want to suffer heavy casualties in the early stage, right? Why don't we cooperate and get the background story first?" It will not be too late to compete fairly after transparency.”

The doll's words made the problem clear. He glanced around again, and someone spoke.

There was a conspicuous cinnabar mole on the speaker's face, and he said politely: "First of all, our team does not intend to compete for the card draw quota, we just want to clear the customs."

Seeing that the players didn't believe it, Cinnabar Mole said again: "This copy is very important to me. After clearing the level, I am only one step away from absolute freedom. I only want stability, not No. 1."

The other team is not so peaceful. The captain is a small and cute girl with an oval face, but she speaks fiercely: "No.1, who doesn't want it? We don't bother to play those dirty tricks, and we are not afraid of others. We can cooperate in the future, if Which grandson dares to cheat us, don't blame us for being merciless."

The three captains looked at Yun Xubai at the same time, and he laughed with two dimples: "We have no objection."

Coke raised the corners of his lips, and expressed his attitude: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me, they will definitely make their lives worse than death."

"In terms of resources, whoever discovers it first will own it." The man wearing the Buddha beads pointed to Yun Xubai, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha: "Everyone knows this little brother. He is the anchor of the system and has a lot of influence. Da, I advise everyone to take good care of feathers, and don't lose them at the end of the festival."

[The law of the team competition, players with a bit of brain will choose to cooperate first, but it is really hard to say whether there is someone playing tricks behind the scenes]

[I feel that the female players in this dungeon are very powerful, with fierce tits]

[Why does the brother who wears the Buddha beads move out, what if someone is following our brother Xu and wants to take the black and red route]

Yun Xubai sat down and said in a gentle voice: "Since everyone has reached a consensus, let's talk about what happened last night first."

Some players said: "I slept soundly last night, and I woke up bald."

"I had a face-to-face meeting with the shaved ghost last night, and I used a skill to send it away." The thick-browed player stretched out his arm, with a few black paw prints on it: "I kept my hair, but I was injured."

After the players communicated, they found that the situation was similar, and the shaved hair disappeared.

No one mentioned nightmares, Yun Xubai asked: "Did you have any nightmares last night?"

As soon as Yun Xubai mentioned it, the players remembered it one after another, and after a comparison, they found that the dreams they had were all similar.Everyone dreamed that Liuhua asked them for help, and some people dreamed less and less scary, such as Yun Xubai.Some people's dreams are particularly horrifying. The durian in the dream is either covered in blood or has a hideous face.

If you ask carefully, the more terrifying nightmares are those that were more affected by the music last night.

The cinnabar mole was thoughtful: "You mean, we only had nightmares after listening to that song?"

Yun Xubai nodded, pointing out that those who had nightmares were particularly severe: "These people are greatly affected by the music, and they sleep soundly at night. They are the first targets of the shaved ghost. Liuhua is a ghost, and they have a cooperative relationship with the shaved ghost. "

The players who were most affected were not only more dangerous than others, they were also less energetic, with dark circles under their eyes almost falling to their cheeks.

"You're right," said the one wearing the beads, "we have to be careful with Liuhua's pipa, not only at night performances, but whenever we hear the sound of the lute."

The players once again reached a consensus to be careful of Liuhua's piano.

The cinnabar mole looked at Yun Xubai with admiring eyes: "You are very careful, if you hadn't brought up this matter, we might not have discovered the connection between Liuhua and Shaved Ghost so quickly. It is indeed the most eye-catching new star on the World Channel. "

Yun Xubai just nodded his head: "I dare not take it."

It's fine to hear these words, but Yun Xubai never takes them to heart.It is easy to lose yourself when you hear too much praise, and the most important thing is not to forget your original intention.

"I have a question. The theme of this dungeon is Wu Zuo Xing," said a player, "but the two ghosts we have come into contact with now, the barber and the busker, have nothing to do with Wu Zuo Xing."

Yun Xubai said calmly: "Isn't there a kind of barber who specializes in grooming the dead? It's equivalent to what we call an embalmer."

In the old days, there was an old custom of shaving the head and cleansing the face of the deceased, in order to let the deceased go on the road clean.Yun Xubai also played the role of an embalmer in one of the dungeons, and this hair-shaving ghost and him are really colleagues in the same industry.

The players were awakened by his words.

Someone made inferences: "Maybe the durian flowers were used to play funeral music for the dead?"

Other players disagreed: "That's not considered a pedestrian, Liuhua may have another identity, let's let it go."

While the players were discussing, the proprietress came over and smiled before saying anything: "Dear guests, do you want to stay longer tonight? If you want to stay longer, you have to pay the money today."

As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, they heard the system notification:

[Mission Step [-]: Keep the Soul Lai Inn and survive until the next day. ]

This is what forces players to stay.

Hearing the survival mission again, the players' expressions were unnatural.Tasks are sometimes a kind of clues. This kind of undirected task is the most confusing and easy to lag the progress.

"Yesterday, we also said that we would survive until the next day. We thought it was very dangerous, but in fact, it's okay. At least so far, there have been no casualties. I don't think it's too dangerous today." Thick eyebrows said: "I don't mean to underestimate the enemy, I mean I think it is still within the range we can handle, so don’t be too nervous. Let’s pay for the stay first.”

After thick eyebrows said this, logically speaking, everyone would breathe a sigh of relief and relax a little.

But before the players could breathe a sigh of relief, they were interrupted by thick eyebrows' screams.

Guazilian frowned: "What are you calling?"

Thick eyebrows trembling with his hands, cold sweat dripping from the tip of his nose, he stretched out his hands in front of everyone without saying anything, and spread them out.

Lying on it is a stack of crumpled Hades coins, including paper money and copper plates, but none of them pass through the yang world. The issuing agency written on it is Hades.No wonder he was so frightened, the money that had been lying in his pocket all this time turned into ghost coins at some point.

Yun Xubai guessed today's event last night, he was very calm: "The last time you paid for it was last night as a reward, and you also took the copper coin that the waiter in the shop got back, right?"

Thick eyebrows and eyes trembled, a little dazed and a little surprised: "How do you know that you have been paying attention to me?"

"Don't be narcissistic," Yun Xubai glanced at him casually: "Last night, the waiter in the shop took your money from the spectators. The spectators are ghosts, so of course they paid in ghost coins."

What's worse is that these ghost coins are mixed with their own money, and that money is also assimilated into ghost coins.

When the other players who received the change heard it, they hurriedly took out the money from their pockets, and sure enough, all of them turned into ghost coins.All of them were frowning, unable to express their suffering.

"I didn't expect that this dungeon would count us at the beginning, in such a detail!"

"Looking at it this way, the money must be of great use. We are stepping right into a pit."

Except for Yun Xubai and Coke's team, the other teams were all hit.The doll's team is better, only one player has received the ghost coin.

They were all very envious of Yun Xubai, and they couldn't blame anyone for making such a mistake, they could only blame themselves for not having such a keen judgment.

The players who guarded the small treasury because of Yun Xubai's judgment were secretly happy.Intuition tells them that the gap in this step will have a great impact on the future.

[Follow Brother Xu, you are right, observe and judge that he has never lost before]

[Hey, thanks to Brother Xu, the teammates saved a small amount of money]

[Brother Xu often sees the key to the problem at a glance. To be honest, people rarely think deeply about such small problems]

[That doll is also very powerful. After the first teammate took the change, he immediately discovered the problem, and then he didn't want it anymore]

The proprietress has been standing not far away watching them, but as if she couldn't hear their conversation, she reminded again: "Dear guests, have you made a decision, should you stay or check out?"

The thick eyebrows were shaved last night, and now they have been cheated of money, a little irritable.Seeing the proprietress pretending to be stupid and stupefied, he became angry, and he stuffed all the coins in her hand into her hand: "Continue! This money is what you found, I will pay with this!"

The lady proprietress frowned lightly, and returned the paper money to the thick eyebrows: "This man is joking, we are in the business of living people, how can we find ghost coins for you? If we can't get the rent, we will I'm sorry the shop can't entertain you anymore."

Two pieces of paper money fell on the ground, and the thick eyebrows were furious, but they didn't pick it up: "You guys are looking for these money, we saw it last night! Don't try to deny it, what kind of business are you doing? clear!"

The proprietress' face changed, and her expression was not so polite: "Guest, don't frame me with empty teeth. It's not impossible for you to use this ghost coin. I will show you the way."

Before the thick eyebrows opened, the proprietress laughed: "Not far downhill, you can see a mass grave, you choose a grave to burn these paper money, and then kowtow firmly, maybe you can stay in the grave to sleep Feel whole."

The thick eyebrows were so angry that their veins twitched. They didn't want to suffer from being dumb, and they had no other choice.

The proprietress was never in a hurry from the beginning to the end. She folded her hands and stomped on the paper money on the ground with satin red shoes: "Guest, I don't want to inquire. Is my place a place where I can play wild? You don't hesitate to ask for this money. In the future You can't find it even if you kneel."

When Yun Xubai heard the last sentence, his ears perked up.

The person with thick eyebrows hadn't calmed down yet, and couldn't hear at all.If it wasn't for his teammates to stop him, he would still want to explode.

The proprietress didn't want to waste a little time on him, and turned to look at the other players with a very good attitude: "Have you decided on the distinguished guests?"

Yun Xubai has money in his hands, and other players also know that he has money in his hands.The money is not exposed, and he does not intend to expose the total amount of funds to others.He thought for a while and asked, "Miss Boss, is there any other way to stay overnight? Your business is booming recently, and they stay to help the workers for a meal. Do you think it's okay?"

The proprietress folded her hands, flicking her red nails: "It's okay, I'll keep you for a day, and take care of the food, and make a decision on the rest depending on your performance. After breakfast, there will be a guy who will lead you to work."

After the proprietress collected the rent, she stared at the thick eyebrows with an unfriendly expression, and kicked Mingbi on the ground heavily, before leaving gracefully with her slender waist twisted.

The thick eyebrows are still a little unconvinced: "That's the decision? Isn't it too cheap for them to help them!"

"It's cheaper for us," Zhu Sha Mo was the team leader with thick eyebrows, Zhu Sha Mo looked very Buddhist, but now he began to reprimand him: "No one else forced us to do it, it was us who were stupid, and we had to correct our mistakes. It is great to fight for this opportunity, if you are kicked out of the inn, the mission will automatically fail, do you understand?"

The thick eyebrows seemed to listen to the words of the cinnabar mole, and immediately shut up, but pursed his mouth with a depressed face, probably digesting the words of the cinnabar mole.

The cinnabar mole hated iron and steel: "Why are you standing still, pick up Ming coins, keep them well, and don't lose any of them."

The thick eyebrow didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, but he didn't dare to resist the captain's words, and his face was full of displeasure after picking up the coins.

[This player's psychological quality is not good, it is easy to get into trouble]

[Dare to provoke npc, isn't this a taboo]

Cinnabar Mole looked at Yun Xubai, smoothing things over for his teammate: "Thank you, you thought of a good way, and we owe you a favor."

Yun Xubai himself is not short of money, and he also advises them, which is regarded as his sincerity for a temporary alliance, and they see it.

Yun Xubai smiled slightly: "I'm also looking for a way out for myself, maybe one day the money in my pocket will also become ghost coins."

Players with a bit of a brain know the importance of this money, whether it is cash money or ghost coins, they must guard it.Yun Xubai pointed out this way of life for them, and they would not think about the money in his hand for the time being.

The Cinnabar Mole Team and Guazilian Team were wiped out, and they had to stay and work part-time to earn rent.

Doll and his teammate had the condition to advance another teammate's rent, but they didn't do so, and still asked the teammate who received the coins to work at the inn.

It's strange to say that he seems to be the weakest in the doll's team, but the other two players listen to him.

The waiter in the shop quickly served them breakfast. From this meal, the gap between the migrant workers and the guest groups could be seen.

The players in the working group ate the same food as the guys, while the guest group ate the same food as yesterday. The food was exquisite and fragrant.

Before moving the chopsticks, let the Shiba Inu check as usual.This time Shiba Inu took a long time, Coke couldn't sit still, and whispered: "Is there a problem with the food?"

Shiba Inu's expression was unclear: "It's hard to say, it's a bit weird, but it's not serious."

"Which dish is strange?" Yun Xubai asked.

The Shiba Inu glanced at the dishes on the table, and his eyes stopped on Xiaodie's cold seaweed shreds: "This one."

The cold kelp shreds are not available to everyone. Yun Xubai saw that the placement of these kelp shreds is a bit special, only in front of Hualizhi and the Scarecrow.

Yun Xubai pushed aside the two small plates of kelp: "Is there any more?"

"The tea is the same as last night, so don't touch it."

Yun Xubai moved the tea away again.

Shiba Inu thought for a while: "Give me another 2 minutes to check again."

"Ugh!!"

Before they finished their investigation, there was a sudden commotion on the part-time job team.

Yun Xubai stood up and looked over there, two players fell to the ground, writhing in pain.One of them has thick eyebrows, and the other is a player with an oval face.

They clutched their stomachs and howled in pain, their faces turning blue.

The companions of the two rushed to help, but were pushed away violently.

"How are you?!" Guazilian walked up to the team members.

The team member seemed to have a sliver of reason, and he didn't dare to push her away: "I'm in so much pain... Please help me out...Captain..."

This team member is usually taciturn, Yun Xubai heard his teammates call him oxygen, he is a very quiet boy.

Yun Xubai got closer, and said coldly to the two captains: "Pick their throats and let them spit out the shreds of kelp."

Guazilian looked at the kelp on the table, frowned, pinched the mouth of Oxygen without hesitation, and put his fingers into it: "Spit it out, and you'll be fine if you spit it out!"

Oxygen's face wrinkled into a walnut, his eyes turned white, and he looked like he was going to die soon.Guazilian hadn't given up yet, but the oxygen couldn't spit out anything, a mass of dark matter came out of the oxygen's throat, and wrapped around Guzilian's fingers quickly.

Guazilian withdrew his hand, his face changed dramatically.

Countless black hairs emerged from the throat of oxygen, and crawled up Guazilian's arms like worms, making a scalp-numbing "srustling" sound.The stomach of the oxygen seemed to be living in a living thing, making a terrifying breathing sound.

More and more hairs came out of Oxygen's throat, stretching Oxygen's mouth open.

Seeing this scene, the two thick-browed teammates chose to give up on him and did not get closer.But after a while, black hair emerged from the seven holes of the thick eyebrows, and quickly wrapped around his body.

[Fuck! !Here we go again, the hair that scares me the most]

[A lot of money to ask for a pair of eyes that have never seen this scene, my eyes are not clean anymore! ]

[God, kelp, hair, I think I figured something out]

[He is like this, he must not be able to survive]

[Thick eyebrows are directly given up by teammates, damn it, it's too realistic.In contrast, this girl has a bit of guts]

A flame burst out from Guazilian's hand, instantly burning the black hair on his hand.Those black hairs slipped away when they saw the fire, and crawled to the ground far away.

The pupil of the oxygen has shrunk to the point where it is almost invisible, and the source is in his stomach. There is no other way for melon face, but she doesn't want to give up on her teammates.

Without the help of his teammates, Thick Eyebrow was helpless, but the oxygen still had a chance of life, so Yun Xubai decided to help him.

Others avoided it, but Yun Xubai walked towards Oxygen.He picked up the oxygen and punched the abdomen.There was a scream in the oxygen's abdomen, Yun Xubai's eyes were extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't come out again, you will be burned."

Black hair climbed up Yun Xubai's body, he was as motionless as a mountain, and he glanced at Guazi's face.

Guazilian immediately understood what he meant, and guessed that there was a dirty thing that could only communicate hidden in Oxygen's body.A ball of flames burst out from Guazilian's palm, and he said sharply, "I'm not joking, get out!"

Guazilian swung his fist at the oxygen's abdomen with a fierce aura, and the surrounding temperature rose instantly.

A burst of screams erupted from the oxygen abdomen, and those black hairs quickly drilled out of the oxygen abdomen, dragging strange mucus, screaming and fleeing towards the door.

A fireball popped out of Guazimian, burning the fleeing hair balls clean.

The oxygen on the ground saved his life, Yun Xubai held his head down, and spit out the kelp shreds in his stomach.

The thick eyebrows on the other side were not so lucky, he was completely covered by black hair, and those black hairs seemed to be parasitic in his body, growing continuously.

The thick eyebrows were hopeless, and the melon-seeded face was entrusted by the cinnabar mole, and it was set on fire and burned off with the hair.

After experiencing such a thrilling accident, the players were left with lingering fears.

Guazilian was very grateful to Yun Xubai. The corners of her eyes were a little red, but her voice was still stubborn: "Thanks to you, otherwise my team members would be hopeless. Under such circumstances, you can come up with such a way, and you are not afraid in the face of danger. I admire you !"

Oxygen is already receiving treatment, and when his condition improved, he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you... for saving me..."

Yun Xubai smiled at him: "Recover well, don't worry about it."

On the other side, the cinnabar mole looked at the place where the thick eyebrows disappeared, and lowered his eyes, unable to see his emotions clearly.

[Brother Xu 666! ]

[Threatening an NPC is something that only Brother Xu dares to do, and ordinary people can't do it, really]

[Brother Xu: This is just a basic operation]
