deadly round table

Chapter 4 Poor mother and child

The quality of the container house is really bad.

Zhang Chen casually pried a few times with a piece of iron, and the window of Brother Liang's room opened.As soon as the window was opened, a disgusting bloody smell rushed over. Jiang Wenyuan and Zhang Chen held back their physical reactions, opened the window and entered the room, and closed the window again.

Brother Liang's room is in better condition than the player's dormitory, with a 1.5-meter four-poster single bed with a mattress, two large wardrobes, a table and chairs, a dresser, and a simple toilet.But what made people very uncomfortable was that all the furniture in the room was covered with blood. It was hard for Jiang Wenyuan to imagine that a person could not die after bleeding so much.

Most of the bloodstains were concentrated in two places, one was the bed, and the other was one of the wardrobes placed against the corner.

Zhang Chen still refused to admit defeat, he gritted his teeth, and handed Jiang Wenyuan the mobile phone on the desk, "I'm going to investigate the closet."

Brother Liang's mobile phone is an old-fashioned one with a button that can be unlocked with an asterisk and a number, and there is no password set.

Jiang Wenyuan quickly flipped through his call records and messages, and found a strange message from two years ago.The sender of the message was Liang Xueqing, and it said: "Brother, I think he is by my side. They all said I was crazy, but I wasn't crazy. Pan Ge died too, on that railway, since After that happened, he obviously never got close to the railway or took the train. Do you think this is retribution. We shouldn't have played that game at that time..."

Zhang Chen also gained something, there were incense candles, mahogany swords, black dog blood, yellow talismans, Buddhist beads and other miscellaneous things in the closet.There are a lot of blood stains on these things. Brother Liang must have opened the closet over and over again after being injured, using these things to seek a sense of security.

Jiang Wenyuan and Zhang Chen still wanted to investigate for a while, but three short and two long knocks came from outside the house. This was the secret signal they had agreed with Zuo Zhixing. Brother Liang is back!

Jiang Wenyuan approached the window with his waist bent, held up a small mirror Zuo Zhixing gave him, and looked through the window to see the situation outside.Brother Liang didn't come back by road. When Zuo Zhixing found him, he was almost at the dormitory.Brother Liang's head was swollen, and his bluish-white complexion made him look like a living person at all.

"What are you doing standing at the door of my room?" Brother Liang looked at Zuo Zhixing gloomily.

Fortunately, Zuo Zhixing is someone who has seen big winds and waves. He said to Brother Liang without changing his face: "I know that Brother Liang needs to recuperate, but there is something I have to tell you no matter what. The temporary earthwork stacking point you designated for us , there are a few graves nearby. I think it is disrespectful to the dead to pile up the cleared earthwork there, so I would like to ask Brother Liang if we can find another place to pile the earthwork.”

Brother Liang's swollen face twitched, "Wait until I go back to the house to get something, and then take me to the grave."

Jiang Wenyuan and Zhang Chen in the room couldn't help becoming nervous, they could only pray to Zuo Zhixing to find a way to take Brother Liang away.Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhixing responded immediately, "Okay, I'll wait for Brother Liang."

With a look of ruined expression on Zhang Chen's face, he asked Jiang Wenyuan with his lips, "Should we just kill Brother Liang?"

In fact, for them, it wasn't Brother Liang who was in trouble, but Brother Liang was kicked out of the emergency repair team.

Jiang Wenyuan shook his head, he stared at the door closely, and waited for a long time, but Brother Liang never came in.

Brother Liang's hesitant voice came from outside the house again, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing. When I was waiting for Brother Liang just now, I seemed to see a tall shadow in your room, but there was no answer when I knocked on the door. It must be my misreading, probably a mouse. Be careful when entering the room, Brother Liang. "Zuo Zhixing's tone was very sincere, if Jiang Wenyuan and Zhang Chen were not in the room, they would have believed his nonsense.

Brother Liang's voice was tinged with fear, "It's not something important anyway, it doesn't matter if you take it or not, let's go."

Jiang Wenyuan used the makeup mirror to confirm that Zuo Zhixing and Brother Liang had gone far away, and hurriedly withdrew from Brother Liang's room with Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was shocked just now, but when he returned to their dormitory, he was in the mood to joke, and he spread his whole body on the bed, "I really didn't expect that such a serious person as Brother Zhixing, He has a talent for acting."

Jiang Wenyuan stood by the window waiting for Zuo Zhixing, he said stiffly: "Maybe he is not talented in acting, but he is telling the truth..."

In the woods in front of the dormitory, there was a figure passing by. The man was dressed in ragged clothes and was as strong as a hill. The hair on his head was sparse, and a huge scar ran across his head. He grinned, revealing a rotten mouth. Tooth, Chong Jiang Wenyuan waved, "Come and play a game."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chen realized something was wrong, and immediately got up and ran to the window.

The monster-like figure was huge, but his movements were very flexible. Zhang Chen only saw the phantom flickering, and the figure disappeared.

Not long after, Zuo Zhixing left and returned.

Zhang Chen hid by the window and peeked out from the corner of his eye, "Why didn't Brother Liang come back with you?"

"He went to negotiate with the emergency repair team to replace the earthwork pile." Zuo Zhixing sat down on his bed. "When he saw the name on the tombstone, the expression on his face was very exciting. You should have learned something."

Jiang Wenyuan repeated their investigation results to Zuo Zhixing, "It is now certain that Brother Liang and Liang Xueqing are siblings or cousins. They and Pan Ge played some kind of game with unknown people on the railway many years ago. Leading to bad consequences. Years later, unknown persons retaliated against the three of them, and the blank tombstone should be reserved for Brother Liang."

Zuo Zhixing frowned slightly, "Unknown person? Why did you come to this conclusion instead of He Fang on the tombstone?"

"The name of the unknown person in the information is him as a man, and the name on a tombstone is He Fang. Excluding the small probability of Liang Xueqing's writing mistakes or male and female names, the person who retaliated against Brother Liang and the others should be a man." Zhang Chen was still standing by the window to watch out for the movement outside, he said stiffly, "And we just met him face to face, in the woods opposite the dormitory..."

Zhang Chen's explanation was sufficient, and Zuo Zhixing approved his inference. "The dolls in this round table game should be closely related to the unknown person who took revenge on Brother Liang."

"Doll?" Jiang Wenyuan repeated the key word in a low voice.

Zhang Chen was finally willing to look away from the window. He looked at Jiang Wenyuan, "There is only one condition for clearing the round table game. If you find the doll on the round table that collects the entry ticket in the game, as long as you can live to that moment, you can return to the game. To reality. The dolls in each round of the game are different, and have their own special functions in the game. After the game is cleared, the doll will belong to the first player to pick it up, but the doll can change hands, so be careful Protect your information in reality, lest some powerful players in reality use means to persecute you."

Jiang Wenyuan deliberately faked his boyfriend's name, but he did it right by mistake. It is estimated that the names of Zhang Chen and Zuo Zhixingzhi are also fake. "Thanks for the reminder. So how do we find the doll? Kill the monster?"

Zuo Zhixing took over the conversation, "Killing monsters is indeed a way to obtain dolls, but it is not recommended. We are consistent with real-life abilities, and we cannot bring lethal items such as hot weapons or poison into the game. The monsters in the game are several times, ten times or even a hundred times stronger than the player. We prefer to complete the game by solving puzzles as a last resort. For example, in this round of games, our way of clearing the level may be to help unknown characters complete revenge, or It is to help Brother Liang escape the revenge of an unknown figure."

Jiang Wenyuan probably understood the rules of the game, "Then we have to find out the identity of the unknown person as soon as possible. He Fang was not mentioned in Liang Xueqing's text message. This is a breakthrough."

lunch time.

Jiang Wenyuan counted the number of players as usual, except for Qin Gaozhi, all thirteen players arrived, and everyone spent half the day safely again.But there is a strange thing, the person in charge of cooking today is not the 14-year-old boy yesterday, but Chen Xu.Jiang Wenyuan remembered him. Like Qin Gaozhi, his job was to move earth.And he also clearly remembered that Brother Liang said that players were not allowed to change jobs.

Zuo Zhixing was very venomous, "That's an idiot, don't worry about it."

Zuo Zhixing didn't make it very clear, but Jiang Wenyuan figured it out quickly. Chen Xu should have used the ability of a doll to take away the boy's job, so Liang Ge didn't get angry.Most of the doll's special abilities are one-off, and the powerful power that can violate the rules is wasted in such a place. Chen Xu is probably really an idiot.

After the players who helped the kitchen were replaced, the lunch became miserable. Every dish on their plate was very unpalatable.Zhang Chen couldn't bear to abandon his chopsticks, covered his twitching stomach, and said weakly to Jiang Wenyuan: "I was really wrong, I shouldn't conclude that the child has four limbs this morning without knowing anything. Not working."

It is too late for Zhang Chen to repent now. In order to avoid being tortured by biochemical weapons, Zhang Chen made up his mind to clear the game as soon as possible. He proposed to go to his restaurant with the uncle who provided the ingredients for the canteen at noon when the yang energy was at its best. Check out the vegetable garden.Originally, the uncle was not willing, but thanks to Zhang Chen's strong self-familiarity ability, he agreed.

The uncle's vegetable garden is not far from the tunnel, and along the way, Zhang Chen kept making friends with the uncle, "Our dormitory is near the tunnel, it feels weird, uncle lives so close, don't you feel scared?"

The uncle's voice was very hearty, "It's very unlucky to live here, but this is my home, what else can I do, I can't just lose my home."

Zhang Chen showed his respect sincerely, "Uncle is really amazing!"

The uncle was praised for being comfortable physically and mentally, and laughed loudly: "Young man, you are a big man, you can't be so timid."

Uncle has two acres of land, one for rice and one for vegetables. He also dug a small pond to raise fish, as well as a flock of chickens, ducks and pigs. His small life is really good.Opposite the uncle's yard, there is a deserted mud-brick house, but the land in front of the house is not barren. There are a few fruit trees growing gratifyingly, and some vegetables that can be eaten raw, such as cucumbers and tomatoes.

Zuo Zhixing observed the layout of the vegetable field, and said firmly to the uncle: "You also planted the vegetables in the opposite yard."

The uncle didn't have a good impression of Zuo Zhixing, he stretched his face, "So what if I planted it, do you still want to say that I invaded illegally?"

"How could it be!" Zhang Chen intervened in the conversation between the two of them very winkingly, "Uncle's vegetable garden is so big, it is very tiring just to take care of your own, and you also bother to take care of the opposite vegetable field, there must be you good intentions."

The uncle was successful in being shunned, and he was no longer angry at Zuo Zhixing, but he couldn't be happy either. He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

"The family living opposite is very poor. More than 30 years ago, their child was playing near the tunnel and was hit by a train. At that time, the train was not as powerful as it is now. The child didn't die, but his head was hit. Intellectually impaired. The child’s treatment and rehabilitation drained all their family’s savings, and within a few years, the man in their family died, and then the child’s mother alone supported her. Until five years ago, she was found out At the advanced stage of liver cancer, she didn't think about it for a while, so she threw her son and crashed into a train and committed suicide. After she committed suicide, her son also disappeared."

"Her son is mentally handicapped, how far can he run? There was a time when I noticed that vegetables were always missing in my field, only to find out that it was the son of the opposite family. He still remembered that this was his home. I also felt sorry for him, so I just Plant some vegetables at their house and help them take care of the fruit trees, so that when he returns home, he won’t be hungry.” After speaking, the uncle took another deep puff of cigarette, and he went back to the house and took out a photo, “ I still have photos of their mother and child, you can see."

Jiang Wenyuan picked up the photo and saw that the mother and son were standing next to each other. The mother was as thin as a thin bamboo pole with a numb expression. The son next to her was the same as the monster Jiang Wenyuan saw in the forest. With scars, she smirked and drooled at the camera.

It seems that they found He Fang.

After talking about He Fang's mother and son, the uncle felt very depressed, and he ordered the three of them to leave.

Jiang Wenyuan carefully put the photos left behind by the uncle into the pocket of his overalls, "Let's go to their house and have a look."

Before they could move, screams came from the room of He Fang's mother and son. Two pale-faced people stumbled out of the room. They were the other two who were digging with them. Jiang Wenyuan didn't think of them for a moment. name.

"Run, run! There are monsters!" The person running in front shouted at Jiang Wenyuan and the three of them.

Zuo Zhixing made a decisive decision, "Run!"

Neither Jiang Wenyuan nor Zhang Chen doubted his judgment, and they ran immediately.

Before running far, a more heart-piercing scream exploded in Jiang Wenyuan's ears, hot blood dripped on his back, but behind his ears, he felt someone exhale a cold breath , in sharp contrast to the hot touch on the back.Jiang Wenyuan looked back uncontrollably——
