Chapter 30 Sleep Trial in a Haunted House Important Clue

The tall and thin young man stood in front of the door, and the morning light fell on him, casting a faint shadow.

A dead person returned to the door of the house the next day.

Yueya looked into the distance, the ancient banyan tree was covered with morning light, and its branches and leaves were shining brightly, but there were many strange things and secrets hidden under its shadow.

"Give way, I want to go in and sleep." The thin and tall young man looked at Yueya and repeated it over and over again.

Before Yueya could answer, Lihua came out. She was yawning, but when she saw the tall and thin young man, her jaw almost dropped from shock.

"He, why is he back?" Isn't this npc dead? !

The thin and tall young man raised his head, looking the same as before, like an ordinary living person: "If I don't come back, where else can I go?"

Lihua pursed her lips and did not answer, her palms felt cold.

Yueya raised her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Where are you coming from, where are you going, there is no room for you here."

He did see the body of the tall and thin young man on the banyan tree, and he did kill the hanged ghost disguised as the tall and thin young man. He didn't know what the tall and thin young man in front of him was, but he just refused to enter anything related to the banyan tree. .

If he doesn't leave, he will have nothing to vent his anger on getting up, and he doesn't mind giving the tall and thin young man another chance to remake.

[Dead and alive, isn't there a steady stream of strange births?This dungeon is a bit difficult to handle. It is very difficult to completely eradicate the weirdness at the current level of the players. Yue Zai can only find another way, such as quickly find Chen Wang and sign the contract]

[Go, go, don't you see that the anchor's face is getting colder and colder, this is a sign of going to fight ghosts! ]

[Hit him until he reveals his ghostly appearance, just in time for Fatty to have breakfast]

The tall and thin young man sensed the danger, and after a moment of stalemate at the door, he couldn't bear the pressure and left with his shoulders drooping.

Yueya glanced at the tall and thin young man's shadow, and at a certain moment, he saw something wriggling in that shadow.

Yueya clasped her hands, leaning against the door to pay attention to the movements of the tall and thin young man. This guy met other NPC colleagues on the road and greeted them naturally, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After Yueya killed the hanged ghost, all the NPCs were cleared of their memory of the tall and thin young man by the system, and now they remembered him without any hindrance, as if he had never disappeared.

Then, the tall and thin youth knocked on the doors of other players, begging to take them in.Yueya told the players about the tall and thin young man and the hanged ghost. Everyone knew that the tall and thin young man had died a long time ago. How could it be possible for him to enter the house?

In the end, the thin and tall young man went around and failed to enter the house, so he could only stay in the yard and talk to the npc.

"Why did he come back to life again?" Lihua remembered the corpse pupa that Yueya had said: "Is it related to the banyan tree?"

"This is the result of the hatching of the corpse. This banyan tree has the ability to 'regenerate'." Yueya took Feifei and walked out: "Pear Blossom, close the door."

Lihua quickly locked the door and followed his footsteps: "Are you going to the banyan tree?"

"Correct."

Walking through the yard, Yueya noticed that there were more NPCs smoking stuffy cigarettes, and everyone was downcast. It seemed that the memory of the ghost encounter yesterday had not been erased.

"Brother Yue!" Ah Hai saw Yueya running over immediately, and asked with concern, "Did you all go well last night?"

Yue Ya nodded.

Overall it went well.

Lihua added: "Brother Yue's operation was too good last night, and the ghost tailor was so ruthless that he even blew himself up to protect his hand, otherwise she would have all entered the cat's stomach now."

Lihua's tone was exaggerated, and Ah Hai was taken aback: "It sounds so thrilling."

At this time, the player Lantern also came over, and he rarely took the initiative to ask: "Look at the tree?"

Yueya only has a quiet and dull impression of lanterns, but so far, the performance of lanterns has been relatively stable, probably at a good level.

Yueya asked him, "Are you going too?"

Lantern nodded.

A group of people walked towards the banyan tree. As the distance shortened, the cold oppressive feeling brought by the ancient tree became more intense, and they felt like their feet were hanging above their heads.

This is undoubtedly the most dangerous area in the whole book, and they walked with extra care.

Yueya stopped in front of the tangled tree roots, looked up at the trunk, the huge corpse pupa had disappeared yesterday, and he found a new pupa on another branch.

The newly grown chrysalis is only the size of a football, darker in color, and its air roots are tightly wrapped, so you can't see what's inside. It just hangs on the tree like a tree burr.

Yueya pointed to the football-sized chrysalis, and had the answer in her heart: "It's wrapped with the ghost tailor's hand."

Lihua inhaled lightly: "Will it hatch like a thin and tall young man? Wouldn't that ghost tailor become whole again, and even blindness can be cured?"

Yueya said: "Not only that, even her two hands that were broken by me will grow back."

The Ghost Tailor originally had four hands.

Ah Hai had goosebumps all over his body: "The dead can be resurrected, and evil spirits can be reincarnated. Is this the world or hell?"

Yueya raised her eyes: "It's not the world or hell, it's the game world."

This sentence brought back the wandering thoughts of the players, this is the game world, all the problems encountered can be solved by game means, there is nothing to be afraid of!

[If Feifei can have this tree, how happy it would be. Stuff the inexhaustible cat food into the tree, and new cat food will grow the next day, so that it will never be hungry! ]

[Moon cub, steal the tree, steal the tree, this magical species is very rare! ]

[Thinking that the ghost tailor might be hatched, I feel very exciting]

[But from the player's point of view, they probably don't like this kind of stimulation, there is nothing they can do now]

Lihua sighed: "Then what about the pupa?"

Yueya thought for a while: "Don't touch it yet, just observe it."

Lantern nodded in agreement, speaking very slowly: "Touching rashly may...create new bonds, we now need...to find clues to understand and break...this cycle."

Ah Hai was surprised: "It's the first time I've heard you say such a long speech!"

Lantern said: "I speak... very slowly, and if I speak too fast, I will... stutter."

No wonder he was so quiet, it turned out to be so.

"Let's go," Yueya said as she walked, "Besides this chrysalis, there are two people who need our attention. One is the reincarnation of the ghost tailor's enemy. This person is in the column group. He may be a player or an NPC. Finding him is beneficial to us. The second one is Chen Wang. This person is currently unknown, but he may be the planner of the whole incident. According to the rules of the game, he should also be in this house, but he is hiding deeper."

Among the two Party A, Fengjuan is a ghost, and it is hard to say whether Chen Wang is a human or a ghost.

Lihua said: "Even the ghost tailor doesn't know who the reincarnated enemy is, this is very tricky."

Yueya avoids the falling branches, and said slowly, "Don't worry, there will be clues."

"Director, someone is missing!" Suddenly someone howled anxiously, a hole was torn in the oppressive atmosphere in the mansion, and more anxiety and fear poured in.

But this sound attracted everyone's attention, and the column groups scattered into sand gathered together again.

Yueya looked over, the girl shouting was an npc, Yueya remembered that she and a female player were roommates.

He raised his foot and walked over there, and the three players followed.

Players and NPCs gathered in front of the house where the accident happened. Yueya saw a tall and thin young man in the crowd. This guy was crowded in the front, next to the director.

Yueya passed through the crowd and stood silently behind the tall and thin young man.

The thin and tall young man turned his head with a premonition, and when he saw Yueya's sickly face, he shivered violently.When the nearby players saw this scene, they suddenly felt that Yueya was the incarnation of evil spirits.

It's rare to live for a long time and still see weird things being frightened by people.

"Who is missing?" The director began to ask about the situation.

"It's Xiaodie who lives in the same room as me. I thought she woke up early and went for a stroll, but she never came back. I searched around but didn't see her." The npc female colleague said more and more anxiously: "Now In this situation, I am afraid that something will happen to her..."

The tragic death of her colleague yesterday was everyone's shadow. Missing in a haunted house meant that there was more danger than good, so she was so anxious.

The director frowned and thought. He was accidentally burned by a cigarette, and the cigarette fell off with a shake of his hand, just floating on the tall and thin young man's instep.

The tall and thin young man let out an inhuman wail, and kicked his feet to shake off the cigarette butt.Yueya got close, and clearly saw a black hole on the upper of his shoe burned by the cigarette butt. The hole was small, and it was repaired in a short while, leaving only ordinary burn marks on the upper.

"Sorry, I didn't hold it steady..." The director thought that the tall and thin young man had been burned by a cigarette butt, and hurriedly looked over, only to see a black mark: "Why are you screaming so badly? Isn't it just a pair of shoes? I'll pay you a new pair after you get out here."

The thin and tall young man didn't speak, but Yueya could tell from his state that he was really burned by the cigarette butt.

There was a faint smile on Yueya's face, and she said in her heart: Oh, so you are afraid of fire.

The monster hatched by the banyan tree is afraid of fire, but what about the banyan tree itself?

The thin and tall young man slowed down and waved to the director: "It's all right, you can continue."

The director turned his head and patted his female colleague on the shoulder: "Don't worry, let's look for it together."

The female colleague said dejectedly: "But I have searched all over, and I can't even see her figure. This yard is so big, where can she go?"

Yueya asked her, "Have you checked the video?"

The female colleague shook her head, her eyes lit up: "Why did I forget this, director, let's check the video separately, maybe we caught her?"

The director waved his hand: "Go and confirm the video for me."

Everyone divides the work and cooperates, Yueya and the director watch the outdoor video together, which is also the video most likely to capture Xiaodie's trace.

In order to save time, they started to watch from the latest video at double speed. The video taken in the morning was all normal, and Xiaodie was not photographed.

The recording time continued to last night, and at four or five o'clock in the morning, no one moved around in the whole yard, and it was dead silent.

The director sped up the playback speed, and the whole screen was like a time-lapse camera, with almost nothing moving, so when the white shadow swayed across the screen, they caught their attention at once, and the director suddenly pressed the pause button, almost excited Flip the camera.

"Is this her?!"

Because the playback speed was too fast, the white shadow on the screen was so blurred that it was hard to see what it looked like, Yueya said calmly: "Slow down the speed and continue playing."

Yueya's voice was clear, her tone was gentle, and she had a strange sense of stability, which made the director's frantically beating heart calm down.

The director took a few deep breaths, and did as he said. The video was played at normal speed, and Bai Ying's appearance became much clearer. From his appearance, clothes, and the room where he started, it can be confirmed that Bai Ying is the player Xiaodie.

But she was in a weird state. With her head hanging down, she walked forward quickly on tiptoe, as if she was floating in mid-air.

The director stared at the direction she was moving, and took a breath: "Is she going...to the backyard?!"

Speaking of the backyard, Xiaodie's roommate got scared: "What is she doing in the backyard? We just saw a ghost in the backyard yesterday!"

The director was silent for a moment, and asked the colleagues who checked other videos to come back.

Everyone gathers together to watch the video of Xiaodie. After seeing the frightening picture, they all remember the scene of bumping into a ghost in the backyard. The group falls into silence, and invisible fear spreads among them.

"What now?" Someone asked in a low voice.

They didn't live in the backyard, and naturally they didn't place a camera there. If they wanted to track down Xiaodie's whereabouts, they had to go in and search it themselves.

From the player's point of view, Yueya is naturally going to the backyard. Firstly, there are ghosts everywhere in this house, and the backyard is not the most dangerous in his eyes. Secondly, Feifei hasn't had breakfast yet, so he has to take Feifei to find yesterday. Labeled "cat food".

But he was not in a hurry to express his opinion, just to observe the reaction of npcs through this incident.

An npc whispered: "Xiaodie seems to have run into something evil. She went to the backyard in the early morning, and now everyone may be gone. Let's leave it alone, shall we?"

Someone echoed: "Yes, we can't take our lives anymore."

There are also people who hold different opinions, thinking that Xiaodie may still survive, and it is too indifferent to just abandon her colleagues.

The opinions of the two parties are at odds, and there are vague signs of quarrels.

"Okay, be quiet!" the director howled, with a serious expression: "We are in the same boat, Xiaodie's life and death are uncertain now, we give up, and if something happens to you, other people will give up on you! We can only twist together Only the strands have a chance to get out alive, otherwise they will die one by one."

The baby-faced intern whispered: "I think the director is right. I don't know who will be next. It's better not to give up on your companions. Let's go find them in the backyard?"

Da Mu also said: "If you don't do anything, you will just sit and wait for death. I also agree to go."

"Then don't waste time, go find someone in the backyard." The director squeezed the cigarette case and stuffed it into his pocket.

Even if he was looking for someone, the director also took the camera. He was worried about breaking the contract and was still recording the show.

Yueya still dutifully played the role of anchor, and told the camera their purpose of going to the backyard.

When they arrived in the backyard, everyone dared not make a sound. Yueya walked in the front and pushed open the door without hesitation. He touched his fat and soft ears and said, "Let's go and have breakfast."

The director didn't know what breakfast he was talking about, otherwise he would have high blood pressure from fright.

There are too many people, and the efficiency is very low when they are crowded together. The director said: "Let's look for them separately, don't run too far, it's better to go when something happens."

Now that they agreed to come in, they were all mentally prepared and dispersed one after another, calling Xiaodie's name in a low voice.

When Yueya came to the big vase, the sign he drew was still there.

He put Fatty on the ground, Fatty sniffed the vicinity, then squatted on the side without moving, not interested in the big vase at all.

Judging from its reaction, the cat food inside may have run away.

Yueya looked at the bottom of the bottle, and found that the mahogany seal was still there. He took another picture of the bottom of the bottle with the camera, and this time he couldn't find the ghost even when he zoomed in.

Sure enough, he ran away, Yueya thought, the ghost in the bottle understood the meaning of his labeling cat food, so he ran away early, right?

In this case, let's get out the mahogany seal first, it's all here, it's inappropriate to go away empty-handed without eating the fat breakfast.

Yueya put away the camera, intending to move the vase to pour out the mahogany seal, but as soon as he moved the vase, he heard a sound like a mechanism starting.Fatty sensed something and jumped on him, then his eyes went dark, and his body fell straight down.

When her vision returned to normal again, Yueya found herself in a confined space, the surrounding was very dark, and the air smelled damp and musty.

Feeling the warm touch of the furry palm, he quickly calmed down.

He took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. The cold white light pierced the deep darkness. He looked to the side and saw a pale face!

The face looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes a little dazed.

Yueya moved the light away, and the face became normal—it turned out to be a lantern.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come down?"

Lantern said slowly: "I'm close to you, and I want to give you a hand."

As a result, it was not pulled, and the person fell down together.

"It was the vase that triggered the mechanism, so let's see what the mystery is here." Yueya came and said calmly: "You also turn on a flashlight."

Lantern took out an oil lamp from the player's backpack, and the secret room suddenly lit up.

Looking at this lamp, Yueya suddenly felt that it was too casual for her to enter the dungeon, and she should prepare some basic props before entering the dungeon next time.

[I feel that Yuezai is greedy for other people's lamps hahaha, give a reward and let Yuezai buy the lamp! ]

[Fall into the secret room?Oh huh, exciting]

[My poor fat and fat cub, why haven't I had breakfast yet?Ma Ma feels distressed]

With sufficient lighting and a wide field of view, they can easily observe the environment.

This is a completely enclosed space, the layout is a bit similar to the study I have been to before, it is different from the empty study, the things here are disorganized, full of musty smell and... the smell of clues.

Yueya looked at the four walls first, and there was also a "Ghost Walking Picture" hanging on the wall here, which was exactly the same as the one in the living room, even the name of the ghost was the same.

Is this painting still mass-produced?

Yueya looked at it, and suddenly found something different—the ghost-faced man in this painting didn't open his eyes.

Next to the picture of walking ghosts, there is another even weirder painting, which depicts an abyss, and there are many banyan trees in the abyss. Among them, there are several corpse pupae growing on the largest tree, and some people kneel down under the tree, Like offering sacrifices.

Is this abyss the birthplace of the big banyan tree in the courtyard?

Yueya couldn't see why, he continued to move forward, and saw a piece of paper pasted on the wall, with two lines of writing written on it, the handwriting was clear, only a few words were blurred by water, which did not affect reading.

"I found the rumored tree of reincarnation. It has... revived, but there are still remnants in this house to deal with."

Yueya recognized the handwriting, and it was the same as the inscription on the picture of walking ghosts, probably from the same hand.

"It turned out that the banyan tree...is called the tree of reincarnation..." The lantern raised the oil lamp and pointed it at the abyss in the painting: "The master of the secret room took...the painting found the tree of reincarnation...and then found..."

Yueya spoke the second part for him: "He discovered Fengjuan, so he communicated with Fengjuan in a special way, and asked Fengjuan to sell her soul to him on the condition of revenge for her."

Lantern nodded: "That's right."

But in the eyes of the owner of the secret room, Fengjuan is just a "remnant of evil", and he promised to avenge her just to make her willing to work for him.

Yueya came to the desk, there were many things on it, but only one ledger caught his attention.

He opened the ledger, which recorded transactions one by one. After reading it carefully, he found that the "goods" of these transactions turned out to be little ghosts!

The owner of the secret room regards this place as a farm for little ghosts!

Yueya handed the ledger to Lantern to read, and her thoughts quickly diverged: "Do you still remember the ghost story that the director told on the first night? He said that he had photographed a ghost two streets away from here. The old lady nearby told His house used to be inhabited by a wizard who raised imps."

Lantern nodded: "Remember."

They have all seen the ghost photo and were impressed.

The tiny clues became coherent at this time, and Yueya conceived a complete story line in her mind: "The wizard who raised the little ghost is the master of the secret room. He has been looking for this banyan tree. After confirming that the banyan tree has recovered, he moved here. I found a little ghost in the original old house, and I didn’t go back to pick it up for some reason. The little ghost has been waiting in the old house, and many years later, it was bumped into by the director who was going to collect music.”

After reading the ledger, Lantern handed it back to him: "Fair, reasonable."

Yueya put the ledger in his pocket, rummaged through the desk, and after a while, he found another manual.

When I opened it, there was a line of flamboyant words written on it: I promised Fengjuan that my descendants would send her reincarnated enemy to her, but I made a fortune, her enemy would be reincarnated in my Chen In the clan, the present report, really the present report! !

Yueya's eyes fell on the word "Chen", what a coincidence?

This dungeon is related to the "Chen" family. The first thing he thought of was Chen Wang, one of the party A in the "Sleeping Test Contract in the House".

Lantern also noticed it, and said uncertainly: "Chen Wang?"

"Chen Wang took the initiative to plan all this. He sent the column team to the mansion as his scapegoat. He was pretending to fulfill the wizard's promise to Fengjuan. He must know the inside story."

Yueya flipped through the manual, but didn't see any other words. He put this important evidence into the player's backpack, and said slowly: "You said, when Chen Wang knew that the ghost tailor would be entangled with him forever, he would How do you want to treat the ghost tailor?"

Lantern pondered for a moment, and said word by word: "eliminate, it, then, after, and quickly."

"I think so too, so I think he will make other requests to the ghost tailor on the grounds of helping revenge." Yueya looked around the secret room: "I didn't expect that this accidental drop would give us such a big harvest. Look for other clues, such as what characteristics this bully will have when reincarnated..."

While scanning the picture of walking ghosts on the wall, Yueya suddenly became quiet, and he found that there was a ghost missing at some point.

There was a piece of empty space on the drawing paper, which was very obvious.

He saw Lantern's face turn pale suddenly, and said after a pause: "In, you, back, back..."

Yueya felt a chill down his spine, and he didn't turn his head: "Fatty, hate it!" Breakfast is here!

Fatty climbed onto his shoulders and bared his teeth behind him, the evil cat growled: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"
