In an escape game...

"One day a few years ago, someone noticed a stench near the well in the center of the town, and the water from the well turned red. Day by day, the stench has not dissipated, but has become more intense, as if it came from the ground. Same. The big guy suspected that someone had secretly thrown something dirty into the well, so he decided to lift the well cover to see what happened."

The innkeeper's voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid of being heard by a third person: "As soon as the well cover was removed, the stench was so bad... The well was very deep, and there was something floating on the water. Two brave men The man swung the hook and went down to fish, and when the thing appeared, it immediately scared the people present to half their lives!"

Yun Xubai guessed the answer, but remained calm: "What is it?"

"A skinned corpse!" The innkeeper's pupils trembled slightly, and he swallowed his saliva: "There is no skin left on the corpse, it's a red lump of flesh, and its face is blurred. It's impossible to tell who it is. Afterwards, look into it." , I found out that it was Widow Li who lived in the east of the town. She died unjustly and had a lot of resentment. She couldn't catch the murderer. When it got dark, her resentful spirit would crawl out of the well to find the person who skinned her !"

Yun Xubai asked: "Has anyone bumped into it?"

The innkeeper became genuinely frightened: "People die in this town every year, and those who were skinned and soaked in water are all done by Widow Li."

Yun Xubai asked again: "If it happens, is there any way to resolve it?"

"There is no way." The boss sighed: "It's unlucky to meet you, so I can only run quickly!"

The sharp-edged face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost under the light, with a natural cold feeling, Yun Xubai rubbed the edge of the counter, and asked casually, "Where do you drink water now?"

The owner of the hotel lowered his head and began to fiddle with his calculations again: "Originally, everyone in the town relied on that well for their livelihood. After something happened in the well... they could only go to the river to fetch water to drink."

Yun Xubai looked away and changed the subject: "Are there any outsiders living here today besides me?"

This is the only hotel in the town, you can check in with point trading, and it is very likely that other players will stay.

The boss raised his head, his expression softened a bit: "There are a lot of people here today. They are all from out of town. The second and third floors are fully occupied. You are lucky, there is just the last room left."

"Thank you." Yun Xubai shook the key, turned and went upstairs.

There are six rooms on each floor, and Yun Xubai's room is the last one on the third floor.

The second and third floors were fully occupied. Including him, there were a total of twelve guests in the hotel. It was unknown how many players there were.

Lights were shining through the frosted glass windows of the room, and there were figures walking around, but there was silence in the surroundings, only the sound of Yun Xubai's unhurried footsteps remained.

After Yun Xubai entered the room, the first thing he did was to open the wooden box in his hand, which contained two sets of clothes and a walnut wooden box, which was rectangular and unlocked, with exquisite ladies' dressing pictures carved on it.

His intuition told him that the wooden box must contain something extraordinary that revealed his identity.

He opened the box and saw a pair of copper-colored scissors with a red thread wrapped around the handle. The red and gold color scheme gave the scissors an earthy fragrance.

This pair of scissors was unremarkable, obviously not meeting Yun Xubai's expectations.

He picked up the scissors, and the game prompt sounded:

[Beginner "Baba" gets the novice item "Excellent Teacher Tony", which can only be used in novice tasks. ]

[Instructions for use: Bind this item, you will inherit the perfect skills of Teacher Tony, create exclusive hairstyles for Wraiths, and earn "commissions". ]

[Instructions for use: 1. In order to ensure the quality of service, only one customer can be served at a time. 2. The cooling time is 24 hours. ]

Yun Xubai stared at the "Local Gold" scissors in his hand, speechless.

Sure enough, it was an incredible item that revealed his identity. His identity was the senior teacher Tony.

[Beginner "Baba", is the item "Excellent Teacher Tony" bound? ]

Yun Xubai replied: "Yes."

[The binding is successful. ]

Yun Xubai played with the rustic scissors, but didn't see anything special, so put them away for now.

The clerk of the hotel brought up the meal immediately, with a pot of tea as a bonus.Yun Xubai glanced at the pot of tea, didn't move, only ate some bread and fruit.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden commotion outside the hotel, and Yun Xubai heard a loud knock on the door.

He opened a window and looked out silently.

Four people, male and female, stood in front of the hotel gate, banging the wooden door.

"Open the door! Open the door!!" The tall man yelled in his broken voice: "Boss, we want to stay!"

The boss replied loudly: "The store is full of people, you can go."

The young woman begged, "Let's go in! We can sit in the lobby all night!"

The boss was unmoved: "If you don't leave, I'll let the guy chase you away!"

These four people may also be beginners, Yun Xubai came to a conclusion in his mind, closed the window, and ignored the noise downstairs.

Make the bed, lock the door, turn off the lights, hold the local tyrant's golden scissors, and lie down with all your clothes on.

Late at night, not resting will consume physical strength and spirit, making the situation more dangerous.

Feeling exhausted, Yun Xubai soon fell asleep.

Half dreaming and half awake, he heard the sound of pattering rain, he slept lightly, and woke up quickly.

Somewhere in the house was leaking water, making a crisp ticking sound, as if it was raining inside and outside the house.

"Tap...tap..." Footsteps sounded from far and near, and someone was running in the corridor, flustered and hurried.

"Don't follow me!! Don't come here!! Don't..." An extremely terrified male voice came from outside the door, panting heavily, and crying in a trembling voice: "Help!! Woooo... someone help me!!"

Amidst the man's cries for help, mixed with horrific shrill laughter, Yun Xubai's scalp felt numb, he gripped the scissors tightly, and got up quietly.

The man seemed to be being chased by something terrifying, and there was no escape. He ran and slapped the door all the way: "Open the door! Open the door!! Help me!!"

There was a lot of movement, but no door opened for him.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Yun Xubai saw a pair of hands pressing on the frosted glass inlaid with the wooden door, almost breaking the glass.

The man didn't call for help anymore, a near-death scream came from his throat, and his hands slid down feebly, leaving a few winding and wet marks on the window.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Xubai heard the "stab" sound of some sharp weapon piercing the flesh, and the screams continued and gradually weakened.

The light was dim, and a large amount of liquid could be vaguely seen flowing into the room from the crack of the door and spreading on the floor, and the strong smell of blood irritated the nostrils.The sound of skin being ripped continued, and Yun Xubai's stomach churned when he heard it.

He ignored the nausea, held his breath slightly, and stared at the wooden door without blinking.

A thin shadow slowly stood up and stood outside the door.

There was only one door between the murderer and him.
