Horror NPC thinks I have a crush on him

They soon found the only inn in the town, run by a bald, toad-like middle-aged man with an orange-peel face and a crumpled brown shirt.When he saw them coming, he showed a sticky and malicious smile.

"It's not time for lunch, officers," he said.

"We're not here for dinner, but to ask you something," Lu said.

"Excuse me, I will tell you everything."

"Is there any library or museum in your town?" Deer asked.

"Ah, we are just a small town, don't compare us with your big cities! Those you mentioned are all luxury places, and there is nothing in our small town." The boss said. "But I know you'll want some information, you cops always do! I've got some old papers here for you."

Sheng Wan became more and more sure that the four of them were not the first wave of policemen who came here, because the owner of the hotel obviously had experience in dealing with policemen, but where did the policemen who came before go?

Were they all killed by that ghost?

He took the stack of yellowed newspapers and sat at the table with the deer to read them.

The name of the town is Misty Town, and the name itself has some ominous and weird feeling.

"Who would choose such a name in a normal town!" Lu complained.

The earliest reports of the woodland demon appeared in October 1987, when a girl in the small town went missing in the woods.Later, the townspeople who went to look for her claimed that they saw a tall, slender demon with no facial features and no hair in the forest.

The demon was dubbed the "Slender Ghost" in later reports, and children have disappeared from time to time in the town since then.Later, due to the spread of rumors, the originally prosperous tourism industry in the small town gradually declined.

And in 1989, a tourist team of ten people camped in the forest around Misty Town, and none of them came back.A week later, their families called the police, and dozens of police officers searched the forest, but found nothing.Only one diary was found, which described in detail that they had encountered terrifying slender ghosts, and they could only be killed one by one because they could not find a way out.

Since then, Misty Town has been completely reduced to a notorious ghost town, and no one dares to travel here anymore.The people who lived here also fled here one after another.

The date shown in the latest newspaper is July 1993.

Sheng Wan simply recorded the important information in the newspaper in the hotel's oil-stained notebook, and then tore off that page.

"What kind of girl do you think Sophia is?" Deer tried to dig more information from the innkeeper.

"Ah, she's a whore." The innkeeper stared at the deer's face with that sticky smile.

Has anyone ever said that to a 13-year-old girl?Deer frowned.

Sheng Wan blocked the innkeeper's view of the deer and handed him the newspaper back.

"I guess you will go to the nearby forest to have a look in the afternoon, right?" The innkeeper stared at Sheng Wan's face instead.

"If you have time." Sheng Wan said.

"Lunch at noon today will be very rich." The boss said sympathetically.

The dilapidated door of the hotel was pushed open, and Yin Huai and Fei Lu Bujuan walked in.

"How is it? Did you get anything?" asked the deer.

"Let's talk in the room." Sheng Wan said.

After everyone sat down in Sheng Wan's room, Yin Huai took out a map from his pocket, which marked the paths in the surrounding forest.

"It was found at Lucy's house. She also explained to us the path Sophia took before she disappeared." Yin Huai pointed to a long, thin and winding path that looked like saliva.

"When we went in, I found that she was burning something in the fireplace, her expression... very frightened." Fei Lu Bu Married said.

"But I picked this up on the ground. It should be something she hasn't had time to burn." Yin Huai handed over a piece of note paper, which seemed to be torn from a notebook.

The four of them flocked to look at it. It was a diary page.

"Who is a normal person who still keeps a diary now!" Lu raised his eyebrows.

"I won't write." Yin Huai immediately responded.

[94.8.27 sunny

Something has been wrong with Lucy lately, she's been too nice to me.

She gave me her favorite hairpins and bookmarks, and invited me to her house several times.

I always feel a little strange.

Tomorrow she invites me to explore the old house in the forest. I didn't want to go, but she keeps inviting me...

I heard that Xiao A and Xiao B will also go. ]

"It seems that we are going to visit this old house in the forest." Sheng Wan said.

"Why are Lucy's and Sophia's names so normal, and when they come into play, they are Xiao A and Xiao B's names." Yin Huai couldn't help but said.

"Maybe I'm too lazy to think of a name, but it's cannon fodder anyway," Sheng Wan said.

"It seems that Lucy went to Sophia's house to steal her diary. Sophia must have written something in the diary. No matter what, Sophia's death must be inseparable from Lucy." Lu said.

"Let's go to the old house in the afternoon to see if there are any new clues." Yin Huai said.

"Well, do we have to go to...that haunted house?" Feilu Bujuan asked in a low voice.

"Otherwise?" The other three turned their heads to look at him strangely at the same time.

Feilu Bumaru swallowed her saliva and stopped talking.

Everyone ate a barely edible lunch provided by the hotel. In the game, there are also requirements for the satiety of the game characters.

"Actually, I have always had a question about this holographic game? Why do characters need to eat but not shit?" Yin Huai asked suddenly.

Feilu Buwei was choked and coughed loudly.

"Because living people won't be suffocated by shit?" Sheng Wan speculated.

Lu said: "Maybe it's because modeling toilets is too troublesome, and there are many more to be built, which is very troublesome!"

"Okay." Yin Huai took a bite of the dry bread.

The forest is actually not far from the town. Walking along the only main road in the town, you will enter the dense forest almost just after leaving the town. Even if you walk along the path, it is still rough and difficult.

The ground was covered with thick rotting leaves, and the trunks of fallen trees were corroded by fungus and moss like diseased and deformed corpses.The sunlight scattered from the gaps in the forest, and the dust aroused by the people walking was suspended in the air, and a dazzling beam of light appeared due to the Tyndall effect.

Yin Huai couldn't help asking again, "Why can the mastermind even take into account such trivial optical principles, but can't build a few more places for players to shit?"

No one answered him this time, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

As the woods grew denser, so did the light.It was as if they had jumped along the time axis from noon to evening.

Finally, a dilapidated manor appeared before their eyes.The pointed iron-gray triangular roof points straight to the sky, the surrounding railings have been corroded and broken, and the statue of the Virgin collapsed to the ground, covered with bougainvilleas.The garden of the manor was occupied by overgrown weeds, only half of the front door was left, and a red squirrel jumped down from the slanted pillar, looking curiously at them outsiders.

Sheng Wan whistled excitedly.

"Wow! There is a horror movie standard! A haunted house in the mountains!"

The barrage in the live broadcast room scrolled.

[This manor is really scary qwq, it has such an atmosphere! ]

[? ? ?What's the matter with this anchor! ]

[After turning around, this live broadcast room is still interesting!The milky anchor rushed to the duck! ]

[The host is so cute!If you are scared by a ghost, you should cry for a long time! ]

[This is a (real) technical anchor!Don't be fooled by his appearance! ]

[The anchor came to cry in my arms! ]

Everyone got in along the broken iron railing. Sheng Wan touched the railing next to him, and there were faint marks on his fingertips.Not like traces of rust, but like dried blood.

The door to the vestibule was open, and the inside was equally dilapidated, full of dust and discarded furniture.Many bats rested on the ceiling, startled by the noise at this time, circling and flying from the empty hall.

"Should we look for clues separately, or act together?" Sheng Wan asked.

"Of course we want to be together." Yin Huai was confident and confident, "After all, acting separately in horror movies is a harbinger of being killed by ghosts alone!"

"I agree!" Feilu Buwei hid behind Yin Huai and raised her hand tremblingly.

So everyone gathered together to search, and more bloodstains appeared on the ground in the hall, and there were obvious signs of struggle.

"This candle seems to be a prop." Lu tried to pick up a broken candle on the table, and a system prompt appeared in front of her.

[Prop Name: Half White Candle

Item grade: white (garbage with only a little recyclable value)

Properties of props: one-time dungeon equipment.

Description of props: There is only half of the white candle left, which seems to be a bit ominous.Can be used for lighting, but are you sure you want to use it? /Point wax/point wax] "Oh, there are matches here!" said the deer again.

[Prop name: A box with only three matches left

Item grade: white (garbage with only a little recyclable value)

Properties of props: one-time dungeon equipment.

Props Description: In the reflection of firelight, people will see what they desire most.Maybe it can be used to light something. Legend has it that only the dying can light it. ] "Uh..." Yin Huai thought about his words. "Why do I feel that the descriptions of the game props are so...deep?"

"It's a taunt!" the deer said for him.

Everyone found no other useful props in the hall, and the blood stains led them to an escalator leading to the basement.

"Give me the props before going down to the basement, I'm so flustered." Yin Huai began to stomp his feet.

"Don't panic! At least there is no medicine!" Lu comforted him sincerely.

"Let's go!" Sheng Wan walked first, holding a lighted white candle.

The basement was filled with a rotten smell, and the stone steps underfoot were covered with slimy excrement.A pitch-black bat was startled, flapping its wings and rushing out of the basement.It fell straight on Sheng Wan's face.Sheng Wan felt a disgusting rancid smell as if it had been forcefully poured into his nostrils, and the bat's claws scratched his face hot.

The system prompts that his health has dropped by 1 point.

This is not good for holographic games, even the disgusting scenes are made extra real.

"Are you all right?" Yin Huai yelled behind him.

"I'm fine!" Sheng Wan's voice was full of joy.

In the dark, Sheng Wan used a second match to relight the white candle, and continued to walk down. The stairs were unbelievably long, as if they would never end.
