In an escape game...

Yun Xubai didn't sleep all this time, he counted the time, and waited about half an hour for the scene to switch.

A ray of sunlight leaked into the room through the gap in the curtains and danced happily on the floor.

Yun Xubai got out of bed, opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight instantly filled the room, driving away the last trace of mystery left by last night.

Jiao Huai woke up, rubbed her eyes, and muttered, "It's dawn? Why do I feel like I woke up not long after falling asleep."

"It didn't take long, you only slept for half an hour." Yun Xubai turned to look at Jiao Huai, the morning light outlined a clear line of light on him, and the normally cold phoenix eyes suddenly warmed up: "According to the rules Said, Jiaying explained the clues to us last night, a plot point has ended, and we will cut to the next scene after we lie down. I thought there were still events to happen, and kept watching the time, etc., but the next half hour Nothing happened inside, just now, it was dawn."

After entering this dungeon, Yun Xubai didn’t sleep, but he was full of energy and didn’t feel any fatigue, as if he had rested during the cut-off time, which is easier to understand—they are now in the comics, It is a paper man, except for the needs of the plot, the paper man does not need to sleep and eat.

Jiao Huai scratched her sleepy chestnut hair, yawned, and said lazily, "A lot can happen in half an hour."

Yun Xubai nodded, and said meaningfully: "Something must have happened in that half hour, but the 'camera' is not with us."

"Lens?" Jiao Huai tilted her head, not quite understanding the meaning of this word.

"You can understand it this way. Each player is a character in a short horror comic. The group of players who find more clues will grasp the progress of the comic plot and have the initiative in switching scenes, so they will be given more 'shots'. Occupying most of the comics, it is equivalent to the protagonist in the comics or the characters who help the story unfold, and is the main narrative perspective of the comics.”

Yun Xubai quickly explained: "Other players with slower progress are also having stories and have independent event lines, but because of the slow progress, they cannot affect important scene transitions.

"The group we progressed fast lost the initiative to switch scenes after finishing the plot last night, which means that in the same scene, other players triggered a new plot point in a place we couldn't see. .”

Jiao Huai got it right, and the sleepiness in her eyes had disappeared: "I see, the comic cuts the scene, and during that half hour, another player became the 'protagonist'."

"Let's go, let's go see what happened in that half hour." Yun Xubai waved to Jiao Huai and walked towards the living room.

"Meow~" Zhe Er was already waiting in front of the cat food tray, and when he heard the sound, he ran to Yun Xubai's feet with a "da da da" and pulled his trouser legs, his two big watery eyes did not blink looking at him.

This look, who can resist it.

Yun Xubai bent the corners of his lips, picked it up, and it immediately burrowed into Yun Xubai's arms, "meowing" coquettishly, and stretched out its tender tongue to lick the small mouth, it was so soft and cute.

Yun Xubai also didn't expect to be able to play cats in the supernatural dungeon.

Yun Xubai hugged the kitten, and Jiao Huai followed him eagerly, watching him pour cat food and water for the kitten, then gently put it down, rubbed its head, his eyes were so gentle that water could melt.

The heavy curtains moved, and a pale face quietly protruded from the shadows, saying hello faintly: "Morning."

Yun Xu Bai was taken aback when he heard this sound early, but fortunately, his expression was expressionless, and he was still calm and gentle: "Morning."

Yun Xubai drew the curtains, and the hall went dark in an instant. Jiaying didn't have to hide from the sun, and her range of activities was much wider. She floated out of the shadows, squatted on the ground and looked at the cat for a while, then raised her face and asked Yun Xubai: "Do you also want to see the cat?" Do you want breakfast?"

Yun Xubai shook his head.

As long as scenes are cut quickly, Paper Man doesn't need to eat breakfast.

Jiaying licked her mouth, she missed the taste of food very much, her eyes were full of longing: "I haven't eaten for a long time, and I forgot what fried chicken milk tea tastes like."

I lost the joy of eating junk food at a young age. It is really sad for those who hear it, and the listener sheds tears. Tears will flow from the corners of their mouths after listening to it again.

"Go out today to see if I can buy it for you." Yun Xubai smiled softly: "Do you still have any money?"

In the dungeon, some functions of the mobile phone can be used normally, but some functions are restricted, such as coin transactions, players cannot use real world money, and can only use points to exchange coins circulating in the dungeon world in the game mall.

There is no money in the game, and the points are all exchanged with life. When it comes to spending money, Yun Xubai's principle is that he can spend money on NPCs, and never spend his own.

Jiaying thought for a while, her eyes lit up: "Yes, you can open the desk drawer and have a look."

Yun Xubai found Jiaying's wallet, took a hair rope by the way, and burned it in front of her, the hair rope turned into a ball of ashes, but Jiaying had an extra hair rope in her hand that was exactly the same.

"It's really useful." Yun Xubai just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect Jiaying to receive it. He pointed to the hair rope and said, "Tie up your hair and wash your face. It looks more energetic."

Jiaying stared at the hair rope in her hand and was stunned.

These days, there are still people who ask ghosts to dress up more energetically, which is really strange.

She stared at the hair rope, went to find a mirror, and mustered up the courage to look at herself in the mirror, with black hair covering her face and dirty face, which looked unlucky.

She tied up her black hair, exposing her entire face, wiped off the blood on her face, and smiled strangely.

From today onwards, being a ghost also needs to be pretty.

Jiao Huai glanced at Jiaying who seemed to have transformed into a ghost, and slightly lowered the corners of her eyes.

……

Yun Xubai left Zhe'er at home, and took Jiaohuai and Jiaying out.

The green glass reflected the dim light. It was daytime, but the corridor was as cold as last night, even colder than Jiaying's house.

As soon as I opened the door, I smelled the bloody smell of presence. I was very resentful towards the door, and I felt uncomfortable after watching it for a long time.

"Grandma's house." Jiao Huai rubbed her arm with goosebumps and shook her head: "Who drank her soup last night?"

"Open the door and have a look. She shouldn't be so fierce in broad daylight." Yun Xubai tried to twist the doorknob, and really opened the door.

To be on the safe side, Yun Xubai didn't push the door open immediately, he raised his chin at Jiao Huai: "You back up."

Jiao Huai didn't want to step back at all, she just took a small step perfunctorily.

After Yun Xubai pushed open the door, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, and the brutal scene on the floor came into their sight without any concealment.

Shocking blood was everywhere on the floor. The body of the female player Hua Hesong fell face up on the ground, her mouth was wide open, and the corners of her mouth were cracked because she couldn't bear the exaggerated arc. The gums are thus exposed.

In addition to the teeth, Hua and Song's eyes and tongue are also missing.

Next to the body, there was an empty soup bowl.

"She really drank the soup." Yun Xubai said.

Jiao Huai spread her hands: "Oh, grandma doesn't need to go out to buy vegetables today."

Who is the protagonist of the half-hour delay last night is self-evident.

Across the door, Yun Xubai didn't hear anything last night.

"Why is grandma pulling her teeth? She doesn't use her teeth to cook soup." Jiao Huai wanted to go into the room to see clearly, but was stopped by Yun Xubai with one hand: "Why are you so passionate about blood?"

Children of the same age would have cried out of fear when they saw this scene.

Jiao Huai hummed dissatisfiedly, stretched her neck to look in, and replied calmly: "I don't know, it's natural."

"Do you remember grandma's teeth?" Looking at the corpse on the ground, Yun Xubai asked endlessly.

Jiao Huai clasped her hands and said calmly, "It's impressive. The teeth are very neat and young. They don't look like old people's teeth at all. I thought they were dentures at first, but now that I think about it, they are not."

"Is it possible that she stuffed a living person's teeth into her mouth." Yun Xubai's face was a little cold.

When Jiao Huai heard this, the goosebumps that had just disappeared appeared again. He didn't feel scared, but felt that the incident itself was unimaginable and a little scary.

There was a lot of resentment in the house, and there was always a feeling of being watched when standing outside the door. Maybe Grandma hid in a corner and stared at them, secretly thinking about how to make them drink the soup tonight.

Yun Xubai closes the door, blocking the faint sight.

He took a special look at the door of Jiaying's house. The food offering yesterday had turned into a handful of ashes, and the incense candles had burned out, leaving only a few bare sticks.

Yun Xubai thought about it for a while: "Go to my cousin's house first."

Cousin, as Jiaying's landlord, is the npc with the least presence at the beginning and the most mysterious identity at present, Yun Xubai is very interested in him.

With a "click", the door of 1406 opened, and the female player, Butterfly poked her head out, and her bright peach eyes lit up obviously after seeing Yun Xubai.

"Brother! I finally see you!"

This sound almost burst into tears, quite a gesture of acknowledgment of relatives.

The butterfly walked out of the corridor, and the seaweed followed.

Yun Xubai glanced at the house number and asked, "Did you live in this house last night?"

Butterfly nodded: "Last night was really exciting. When we were about to fall asleep, the sound of crackling and knocking on the computer suddenly sounded in the house. I went to the study and took a look. Good guy, only the computer is on in the dark study. In the dim light, with a ghostly look, a strange man was sitting in front of the computer, and his hands on the keyboard flew up. After hearing our voice, he turned his head stiffly... Guess what happened next?"

"What's wrong?" Jiao Huai asked curiously.

Butterfly smiled and said, "He told us to keep our voices down so that we don't disturb his work."
