There was a moment of silence in the ancestral hall.
Only the evening wind blew through the treetops outside the door, shaking the leaves and making a slight rustling sound.
After a while, Su Wei squeezed out a dry smile from his throat, and forced a joke: "Uncle, what do you mean, give us a few listings without even saying hello? Then we have to agree in advance. Performing arts is fine, It’s absolutely impossible to sell yourself.”
Guo Baoguo glanced at him, seeming to be mocking, and more like being too lazy to answer, and finally turned around and walked to the main room outside as if he didn't hear.
Lin Fang followed closely behind him and asked, "Why do you know all of our names?"
This is really abnormal, the players just call each other occasionally, and there is no roll call. Besides, Guo Baoguo has been in the village all afternoon and has not met the players, so how could he know everything about it?
"It's not me who knows, it's God who knows, He knows everything." Guo Baoguo said calmly, and went to the incense table to pick up the fruit that was blown by the wind and put it back.
When bending over, the sleeves shrank upwards, exposing his wrist inadvertently, and there was actually a tattoo similar to an eye pattern there.
"The tattoo is good, where did you get it?" Fu Qitang's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked nonchalantly.
"Natural." Guo Baoguo pulled up his sleeves, not wanting to continue talking, so he abruptly changed the topic: "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go."
After finishing speaking, he ignored the players, but turned around and folded his hands together to pay respects to the empty altar, and bowed heavily, followed by a long silence.
Looking at it from Fu Qitang's point of view, he noticed that Guo Baoguo's expression showed pity and resentment for a moment, but it returned to dead silence in a blink of an eye.
After Guo Baoguo left, the player searched the ancestral hall, but found nothing.
"I always think this wooden sign is weird, why don't we take it down?" Tong Wenkai looked at his name on the wooden sign and said with a troubled expression.
"No need." Zhou Li said, just now when Guo Baoguo was here, he had been trying to reduce his sense of presence. Even so, he could still feel that Guo Baoguo occasionally cast his eyes on him as if he had a knife in his eyes. Now that Guo Baoguo is gone, although the situation has become more complicated, but He could breathe a sigh of relief.
"If my guess is correct, the final boss of this dungeon should return to the God Lord, and these wooden plaques with names on them are His believers and sacrifices at the same time."
"Sacrifice? What do you mean?" Su Wei was stunned and asked in confusion.
"Obviously, judging from the experience of Qitang and the others in the last dungeon, this returning god must be an evil god, so will he protect these villagers unconditionally?" Zhou Li spread his hands, "As for these wooden signs with names on them? It’s probably returning to God’s menu, we have to kill him if we want to clear the level, now we’re just making a name with him in advance.”
"You mean that even if today's show didn't happen, we would be hung up like this in other forms? Is this a necessary pre-plot?" Tong Wenkai said, with a dazed expression on his fair face, "That's not true. It can explain why Guo Baoguo knows our names, it should be that we were noticed by the Returning God as soon as we approached the village."
"That's right," Zhou Li nodded, and then explained: "And I think you must have thought about it, only the dead can enter the 'God Lord's Kingdom'. If this is the case, or this is not the lair of the God Lord, Guo Baoguo is lying. Or... there is no one alive here at all."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a moment.
But then Song Yu shook his head: "Impossible. I went to check on Liu Hemin when he was shot and fell to the ground. Before he died, he was indeed alive, at least in a physical sense. Including the one who gave us things later. Two women and a boy, they are all alive."
"I agree with Song Yu's point of view. I noticed when they were eating that each of them was breathing." Nie Xiaolan also said.
"Maybe they behaved like ordinary people during the day, but they died at night? Turned into ghosts, or something else. Otherwise, why is there no one in the village when it gets dark." Zhou Li said, "And it is very likely that Because of this, these people double down on their good side during the day."
According to Zhou Li's idea, the plot of this dungeon is not complicated. It should be that a group of ordinary people who have returned to the gods have received the "blessing" and turned into monsters with neither human nor ghost, and were trapped here forever.
Be a man during the day and a ghost at night.
The so-called Taoyuan Village is actually a ghost village through and through.
The train requires players to enter the village to solve the haunting incident. Players will naturally think that there should be one or a few ghosts in the village, but they will never think that all the villagers are ghosts.
Zhou Li was quite confident in his guess, but he still couldn't help but look at Gong Zijun.
Fu Qitang was noncommittal to his words. Seeing his gaze, he reached out and touched Gong Zijun, who was unresponsive, and coughed lightly, "What do you think?"
Gong Zijun asked a question casually.
"Did they know they would turn into ghosts at night?"
"I don't know."
Zhou Li put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If ordinary people knew that they would turn into ghosts every night, wouldn't they be crazy already?However, judging from the few villagers I met in the afternoon, these people's spirits are normal, and their mentality is very positive and optimistic.
"Then why did you warn us not to enter the village?"
The shadows of the young man who helped carry the corpse and the boy on the tricycle flashed in front of his eyes, and Zhou Li was a little shaken for a moment: "Then you know? Because I know that I will become 'abnormal' at night, so I don't want to harm other people."
"Are you someone else? You are Liu Wenxuan's father-killing enemy." Gong Zijun said nonchalantly, "If he knows that he will become a ghost at night, can he let you go? There is no need for Guo Baoguo to leave, stay here Can't you take revenge after transforming?"
"..."
A little embarrassment suddenly appeared on Zhou Li's face, but he still refused to give up, and argued forcefully, "It means that although I don't know it, I have a vague sense of it."
Su Wei on the side couldn't stand it any longer, so he came out to smooth things over and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, our names are already hung here, and the soldiers come to cover the water and the soil. Take a step and see, there must be someone in the back." Method."
"Well, I also have something to say." Fu Qitang said, he has been in a state of distraction since just now, not because he disagreed with Zhou Li's guess, but because he discovered a puzzling thing : "Have you noticed, the barrage has disappeared as soon as we entered the door."
[01: What's going on?Is the wiring faulty?Why is there a black screen on my side, what about the image?What about people? ?Where have all my people gone? ? ? ]
[59: Black screen 1, I thought I was disconnected]
[44: Me too! !Suddenly there is no image, what is going on, the administrator will come out and say]
[20: It should not be signal loss, otherwise we should be stuck, and the system should prompt 404.My guess is that the house interferes with part of the signal, causing this kind of shielding effect]
[60: It is possible, so where is that house?Although it looks like three ordinary tile-roofed houses from the outside]
[38: The key plot point... and according to my experience, it is very likely to be a scene related to the dungeon boss.Boss that can interfere with train signals, tsk, this time is dangerous]
[26: It has been verified that some signals are indeed blocked and are being repaired, please wait patiently]
[28: ... No, really? ! ]
[39: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I’m scared, come out soon Tangtang, mother is worried]
[44: Worry 1.I've never seen someone break into the boss's lair directly at the beginning of the game. What's the point of exploring? You can fight the ghosts directly. Can the train do something in the world! ]
[15: Blind guessing that the plot couldn't be pushed here, it was caused by Zhou Li's sudden murder]
……
After a while, several players came out of the ancestral hall, only to feel a flash in front of their eyes, and the barrage resumed.
"It's good to come out. It seems that there is indeed a problem with this ancestral hall." Lin Fang mused, "Guo Baoguo said that this is the place where the return God Lord appeared, and it may be true."
"But why? This has never happened before. Could it be that returning to God doesn't like to watch bullet screens, and prefers to be quiet?" Tong Wenkai scratched his head with a puzzled expression on his face.
"There are more and more strange things," Nie Xiaolan said, lowering her eyes to cover up the melancholy that flashed in her eyes, "I have a bad feeling."
in the shrine.
Gong Zijun put his hands in his pockets, and stood in the candlelight. The candlelight was shaken by the wind, and the shadow on the wall also shook.
He stood expressionless, and whenever this happened, there was an unconcealable sense of alienation on his body, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
"Thank you for the last time."
After a long while, he suddenly spoke.
However, there was no one around, and even Fu Qitang went out, and he was standing in the open space outside the ancestral hall, thinking about the mystery of the barrage being blocked.
There was silence and no response.
Maybe it's a long time, maybe it's just a few seconds.
The screen in front of Gong Zijun suddenly flashed, and a line of text that should not exist suddenly jumped out of what should have been an empty place.
[26: You're welcome]
[26: It's about to start, good luck this time]
"Yes." Gong Zijun smiled, turned and left without saying anything.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hut at the entrance of the village.
There is no condition to wash up, so everyone can only spend the night, wipe off with the hot water sent by the villagers, and get into the tent to prepare for rest.
There are three tents in total, two large and one small.Gong Zijun and Fu Qitang picked the small one, leaving Su Wei, Zhou Li, Tong Wenkai, Nie Xiaolan, Lin Fang, and Song Yu.
It's not that Fu Qitang is disrespectful to women, it's just that the big tent can only sleep three people at most, if Nie Xiaolan is allowed to sleep in the small tent alone, one of the remaining seven people must sleep outside.
And it seems a little weird to let others sleep in the small tent with Nie Xiaolan.
In the end, it was Nie Xiaolan who said there was no need to bother. She had known Lin Fang and Song Yu for a long time. Although they were not particularly close friends, she fully believed in their character, and it would be no problem to live in a tent.
Apart from Fu Qitang, naturally no one would want to sleep with Gong Zijun.They can't even dance with wolves, let alone sleep with wolves?
So the tents were quickly allocated, and everyone rested separately.
"Don't you need a night watch?" Fu Qitang was still thinking about the night watch before lying down, and asked Gong Zijun.
"The props are set up, I'll let Xueba also go out and stay there, it will call if something happens." Gong Zijun said, not feeling at all that he was squeezing the props.
"Xueba is so miserable. Song Yu's daughter can rest, and he has to work night shift. It's unlucky to follow us." Fu Qitang couldn't help but sigh.
Gong Zijun didn't take it seriously, "It's just a prop."
The two talked for a while, and Fu Qitang fell asleep without knowing it.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt himself being shaken in a half-dream and half-awake state, and suddenly woke up.
"What's wrong?" He immediately got up and asked in a low voice.
Gong Zijun didn't make a sound, but raised his chin to signal him to look at the tent.
In order to prevent unexpected situations, the player deliberately left a bonfire outside before going to bed at night. At this time, the flames were still crackling, projecting a few silent black shadows on the tarpaulin.
"There are people outside." Gong Zijun said softly.
Only the evening wind blew through the treetops outside the door, shaking the leaves and making a slight rustling sound.
After a while, Su Wei squeezed out a dry smile from his throat, and forced a joke: "Uncle, what do you mean, give us a few listings without even saying hello? Then we have to agree in advance. Performing arts is fine, It’s absolutely impossible to sell yourself.”
Guo Baoguo glanced at him, seeming to be mocking, and more like being too lazy to answer, and finally turned around and walked to the main room outside as if he didn't hear.
Lin Fang followed closely behind him and asked, "Why do you know all of our names?"
