In an escape game...

After Xiao Li, who turned into a ghost, was slapped by Yun Xubai with the door, he let out a shrill and angry roar, as if he had added horror sound effects, which was very scary.

Then, the scene switched.

They are not in front of the warehouse, but in the empty workshop, with no lights on, dim and dead.

"What's going on, we teleported?" In the darkness, Jiao Huai subconsciously lowered her voice, fearing that something would be disturbed.

Yun Xubai glanced at the time, because the phone downloaded the escape game app, so the time was synchronized with the copy.

It was 06:30 in the afternoon just now, and now it is 07:30.

An hour was skipped, from evening to night.

Yun Xubai thought for a while: "We are in the comic world, and unimportant plots will not appear in the storyboard, and we will directly skip to the next page."

Jiao Huai understood: "In other words, the rhythm of this dungeon will be faster than before!"

"That's right, and there will be plots or clues on every page, follow me closely." Yun Xubai turned on the backlight of the phone and looked for a power source.

The lights in the workshop are controlled by area. He found one of the control electrical boxes and pushed all the switches up.

"Prickling..." The ear-piercing electric sound sounded, and several pale lights flashed on the top of the head and on the wall at the same time, illuminating the dark red slogan on the wall.

"Pay attention to safety today, family reunion during the festival", there are several figures under it.

"Someone!" Jiao Huai looked at Yun Xubai.

The lights flickered, and the figures who were moving softly against the wall stopped and looked around nervously.

They obviously also found Yun Xubai and Jiao Huai.

These figures are neither puppets nor ordinary npcs, they are probably players.

The light flickered so that people's eyes hurt, but it couldn't play a role in lighting. Yun Xubai wanted to pull the switch, but felt cold.

The skin felt extremely human, and a chill ran up Yun Xubai's back. He withdrew his hand and took a photo with his mobile phone, and a face pale by the light appeared in front of him.

The jet-black hair was draped over the shoulders, the eye sockets were dark, and a hideous wound was opened on the neck. There were large patches of blood coagulated on the exposed skin, and there were also blood clots of different sizes on the white skirt.

Judging by his height and appearance, this wraith is only fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!" There was a heart-piercing scream from the other side of the wall, not knowing what happened to those people.

Surprised by the scream, Wraith immediately reached out to grab Yun Xubai's hand like a cat whose hair has exploded.

Jiao Huai grabbed Yun Xubai's wrist one step faster than Wraith Ling.

Before Yun Xubai could react, he was suddenly led back two or three meters by Jiao Huai - just a split second.

"Teleportation?" Yun Xubai raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"As I said, I got a good skill." Jiao Huai raised the corners of her lips.

This skill is still in its infancy, its movement speed and distance are limited, and it takes people slower, but it can save lives in critical moments.

Wraith seized the air, and took two steps closer to him. She raised her eyes to look behind Yun Xubai, as if she saw something terrifying, with a frightened expression on her face, she plunged into the wall and disappeared without looking back.

"Tap...tap..." In the empty workshop, the sound of wedge heels hitting the ground gradually approached.

A "person" came over, and the Wraith in White was probably scared away by this "person".

"Hee hee... hee hee..." The footsteps stopped, and a childish girl's laughter came from nowhere.

"Hee hee... hee hee..." The owner of the voice seemed to have encountered something funny, and laughed louder and louder. The shrill laughter echoed in the workshop, making one's scalp tingle.

Yun Xubai hadn't had time to turn off the power switch just now, and saw the figures of those suspected players stop and remain motionless through the flickering lights.

Yun Xubai looked at it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he frowned and counted, and found that there was one more figure!

The extra figure was slightly shorter than the others, with long hair, standing at the back of the line.

The man standing next to "her" just turned his head, and faced a face with a strange smile, his head went blank for a moment, and he screamed involuntarily: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The man's scream startled "she", "she" suspended her feet from the ground, covered the man's mouth, and tilted her stiff head: "Hee hee...do you want to play games with me?"

The man shook his head crazily, tears streaming from his terrified eyes.

When the others heard "her" voice, they ran away in a panic.

"She" didn't know what to do, the man let out a short and painful scream, after the man calmed down, the flashing lights returned to normal, illuminating everything in the workshop.

"She" was gone, and there was a glaring pool of blood on the ground, on which lay a torn apart male puppet, with blood still flowing from the broken neck.

At this time, besides Yun Xubai and Jiao Huai, there were three other people in the workshop, two women and one man.

The woman with the high ponytail walked up to the puppet, knelt down to take a closer look, and said in a deep voice, "It's dead. It seems that the player will become a puppet after death."

Another girl with a yellow bow in her hair said: "I didn't even see what killed him, Nori, did you see it?"

"I only saw the general outline." The woman with the high ponytail replied, "Long hair, female voice, it might be a female ghost."

The girl with a bow tie nodded and looked at the man next to her: "Isn't he your teammate in the duo? Why do you run so fast?"

"Mind your own business." The man gave her a bad look, and left without looking back.

The girl with the bow tie made a face at his back, and shouted at Yun Xubai: "Hey, you are also players, right?"

Yun Xubai replied: "Yes."

The girl with the bow tie felt that Yun Xubai was much more pleasing to the eye than the dog man just now, and her tone was much softer: "Did you find anything..."

Before the girl finished speaking, the scene switched again.

Yun Xubai and Jiao Huai returned to the office, their clothes had been changed, the sky outside the window was gloomy, and the hour hand pointed to ten o'clock in the morning.

Yun Xubai glanced at the calendar, it was the second day after entering the dungeon.

"Turning the page again."

Jiao Huai rolled up her sleeves, and the imprint on them became 2d8h.

"There are 2 days and 8 hours left?" Jiao Huai looked at Yun Xubai, feeling a little pessimistic about the situation: "The time is cut so fast, the time given to us in the dungeon is actually less than 3 days. It is also difficult for players to exchange information. The other players left without saying a few words after touching the top, so the players can only rely on their teammates in the duo."

"The dungeon dares to cut the time like this, which proves that the time given is enough to pass the level. As for the teammates...it's better to trust your brother than to count on other teammates." Yun Xubai patted Jiao Huai's head: "The scene cut here means here There must be clues, hurry up and look for them.”

"It makes sense." Jiao Huai rarely complained about him, and started to search.

The office is not big, but things are messy. Yun Xubai started to search from the desk where the clues were most likely to be stored. After a few minutes, he found a stack of newspapers in the drawer.

The bold headline above caught his attention.

"Four female corpses were dug up from the mountain behind the factory. The modus operandi is similar. It is suspected to be a serial murder case!"

The words "mountain behind the factory" and "female corpse" clearly point to the case of the puppet factory director's daughter.

"Jiao Huai, come and have a look." Yun Xubai handed him a newspaper and read it on his own.

The article briefly introduced the facts of the case, and also summarized the similarities of several cases.

First, the deceased were all underage women; second, the modus operandi was similar, they all died of blood loss or suffocation due to rupture of the major arteries in their necks; third, the burial sites were all at or near the back of a certain factory, but the distance was a bit far; Fourth, the murderer was very cautious and did not leave any traces at the scene.

The article did not name which factory it was, but it described it as similar to a puppet factory. The daughter of the factory owner should be one of the dead.

Yun Xubai continued to look down.

The photos of the four victims before their death are published below the article, and the eyes have been coded.

After Yun Xubai saw the first photo of the victim, he always felt familiar.

Thinking back carefully, he suddenly found that the victim's clothes were exactly the same as the white-clothed wraith he met last night!

Upon closer inspection, the uncoded facial features are also very similar, but the girl in the spirit state is a little creepy, which affects the recognition.

"Brother Xu!" Jiao Huai also recognized it, pointing at the girl in the photo with bright eyes: "This is the wraith we met last night, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Why is she in the factory? Could it be that she is the factory director's daughter? No... Shouldn't the factory director's daughter's wraith be attached to the puppet? But the white-clothed wraith is just an ordinary spirit." Jiao Huai grabbed the newspaper , speculated patiently: "Or, the ghosts of the four deceased are all in the factory?"

"Xiao Li who was killed at the beginning, the ghost in white, and the evil spirit who quietly killed the player without even showing his face... How many evil spirits are there in this small factory, and what is the relationship between them?"

"After going through two dungeons independently, you have matured a lot." Yun Xubai smiled gratifiedly: "You are thinking in the right direction, we will find the answers one by one next, but I want to know why our The task is to transform back into human beings, can it be said that we have already..."

The eyes that fell on Jiao Huai's face froze, the blood on Yun Xubai's face faded slightly, and his tone became light and serious: "Jiao Huai, don't you feel a little uncomfortable in your eyes?"

"Eyes? No discomfort." Jiao Huai closed her left eye as she said, and touched her eyelids with her hand, but she didn't feel anything unusual.

"Is it still clear?" Yun Xubai asked again.

Jiao Huai was a little nervous by Yun Xubai's expression: "It's clear, why did you ask this suddenly? What's wrong with my eyes?"

Yun Xubai couldn't find the mirror, so he simply turned on the front camera to show him.

Jiao Huai went up to take a look, and was shocked: "Why did my eyes turn red!"

On the screen, the boy who looked like a porcelain doll blinked. The pupil on the right was as clear as spring water, while the pupil on the left was a strange crimson.
