1/2 Nightmare [Unlimited]

Qi Lu woke up from the cold.

He opened his eyes, surrounded by a vast expanse of white snow, 076 was beside him, his eyes were tightly closed, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Qi Lu hurriedly woke up 076: "Get up, what's wrong with us now?"

076 opened his eyes, stood up, glanced around, and then lowered his head.His clothes were still spread out under them.

"Look for the things on your body, did you leave anything behind?" 076 asked.

"Okay." Qi Lu immediately lowered his head, notebook, black pen, master key, flashlight, and the dry food they brought back from Liu's house yesterday.

All in, they didn't lack anything.

"Nothing was lost." After Qi Lu answered, he asked again: "And then? Why did we suddenly appear in the snow?"

"Let's go back first." 076 already had a vague guess in his heart, but it was not accurate.

"I need to go back and make sure of one more thing."

The "going back" mentioned by 076 refers to going back to the Zhang family.

Judging by the terrain, they were probably thrown in the middle of the mountain, and then walked up the snow all the way, slowly groping back to the village on the mountain.

The village on the mountain was in a panic, and everyone was running very fast, in a hurry, as if they were busy with something.

Qi Lu looked around and noticed Accountant Wang, Accountant Wang was standing in the middle of the crowd, guiding the villagers to work.

Qi Lu and 076 went there together.

Accountant Wang quickly saw them and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qi Lu replied: "We just came down from the mountain."

"Hmm." Accountant Wang was vague, and then, he turned his head, facing many villagers, and suddenly shouted: "Catch those two arsonists!"

Qi Lu didn't react for a while, 076 immediately took his arm and ran back.

The villagers rushed to catch up.

The cold wind was piercing, and Qi Lu's face was sore from the wind, as if countless thorns had been stuck in his face.

He kept up with 076 and asked, "What happened to Accountant Wang? Why did he arrest us suddenly?"

"I don't know." 076 replied, but then gave him a lot of clues for analysis: "Just now Accountant Wang said that we are arsonists. I guess something happened to the Zhang family again."

Most of the Zhang family's affairs have something to do with that evil fire.Accountant Wang also said they were arsonists just now.

Qi Lu guessed that something happened to the Zhang family again.And the two of them just happened to be absent, so it naturally aroused Accountant Wang's suspicion.

"Then if we run away like this, will accountant Wang become more suspicious?" Qi Lu asked.

The two of them were not familiar with the whole village, so they almost rushed to run when they saw no one, but they left a series of running footprints on the ground, which were still easy to be spotted.

"Go down the mountain." 076 said, and immediately pulled Qi Lu down.

"I think there is something wrong with Accountant Wang." 076 replied, "We had no chance to explain, but he directly claimed that we were arsonists."

When I got down from the top of the mountain, the whole mountain was covered with dense forests and some stones. In addition, the snow fell heavily, the sky was dark, and the terrain was intricate. Other animals were also active here, and the villagers might not be able to find them along the footprints.

They took a little breath.

Qi Lu was belatedly aware of this, and felt the air was freezing cold. They didn't know how long they were thrown in the snow, and then came back.

"Where's your notebook?" 076 asked, and suggested, "Open it and have a look."

Qi Lu understood, supported Shu Shunqi with one hand, and opened the notebook at the same time.

Because the lord god reminded them that they recorded things related to the clues last night.

But it was strange that apart from the ones analyzed in the Liu family, there was an extra incident that they had no impression of at all.

"In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiaomei knocked on my door and asked if there were any bean buns..." Qi Lu was reading the extra paragraph, and the shock in his eyes became more obvious.

After he finished reading, he hurriedly opened his package of dry food, and there was indeed one bean bag missing.

He asked 076: "This is... what's going on? Why do I have no memory at all."

076 tilted his head and said, "I've heard of this notebook before. Only the owner of the notebook can write on it. Give me the pen."

Qi Lu nodded, took out the pen from his pocket, handed it to 076, and leaned over to read it.

076 took off the pen cap and wrote the word "Qi Lu" on the notebook, but there were only shallow traces, the paper was still white, and the word "Qi Lu" did not really appear on it.

Obviously, only Qi Lu can write on it.

"Did I write these words? Why can't I remember them at all?" Qi Lu said in a trembling voice.

076 thought of what the Lord God told them yesterday.

——It was very strange that the Lord God suddenly mentioned the notebook, and then something happened at night.In addition, the main god has cycled twice in this dungeon.

"We should have forgotten a lot of things." 076 said: "For example, how did we get here, and for example, we have no memory of the last paragraph recorded in the notebook."

"Then who would have done these?"

Qi Lu was a little anxious, if he simply forgot, then it would be fine.The fear is that these things really happened before, and they don't know it at all.

It's very passive.

"Zhang Xiaomei?" Qi Lu guessed one, and then analyzed logically: "The content of the last paragraph is related to Zhang Xiaomei, if I really wrote the words in the notebook, then it means that the last person we saw was Zhang Xiaomei. "

"It's just why did Zhang Xiaomei do this?" Qi Lu asked again.

"I'm not sure, I just have a rough guess." 076 said.

Qi Lu looked up at him: "What?"

"Zhang Xiaomei may be saving us, not killing us," 076 said.

"Rescue? How do you say it? Accountant Wang now suspects that the two of us are arsonists. Shouldn't this be considered a rescue?"

"The core of this dungeon is to punish evil and promote good. Yesterday, you gave her a bean bag. She should be the person who has the least qualifications to harm you." 076 continued, "And Zhang Xiaomei should be very clear about the situation here because she has lived in this village for many years. Life habits. She took us out and into the snow, it should be a kind of protection."

"Protection?" Qi Lu said, "But we were hunted down by Accountant Wang just now..."

Having said this, Qi Lu immediately understood, and he put away the notebook.

"Then let's go back and get caught on purpose again?" Qi Lu said.

076 nodded: "Yes."

So the two headed back again.

There must be a reason why Zhang Xiaomei took so much trouble to bring them out of Zhang's house and set fire on purpose.

"There are not many people in this village, and the level of technology is not high." 076 said: "Even if you are really caught, as long as you want to go out, I can take you out at any time."

This is a very arrogant statement, and Qi Lu really believed him.Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to "go back" immediately after I realized it.

They returned along the same road, and when they were about to reach the mountain, they noticed other villagers.They were "captured" and went back as a matter of course.

Qi Lu and 076 were brought to the gate of Zhang's house, and their hands were tied tightly behind their backs with hemp rope.

Qi Lu raised his head to see the situation of the Zhang family clearly——

The roof of Zhang's house is thatched, and the walls are yellow mud walls, which are very dilapidated in the first place.But now the walls are blackened, as if they had been smoked by fire.

Looks like there was a fire here.

Qi Lu asked: "Where are Zhang Yuanwai and the others?"

"You still have the nerve to ask Zhang Yuanwai?" A young and strong villager said, his tone sounded very angry, as if he was complaining about Zhang Yuanwai.

So Qi Lu guessed: "Is Zhang Yuanwai dead?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Accountant Wang came over at this moment. He stopped the villager, then turned his head and looked at Qi Lu: "Mr. Zhang was fainted by the smoke. Xiaomei and that classmate of yours are taking care of him."

After finishing his brief speech, Accountant Wang said sharply again: "I don't know what your purpose is, but that classmate of yours has already told us that you were the ones who set the fire last night!"

"Which classmate? There must be a reason for us to set the fire?" Qi Lu asked back.

"I won't tell you these things, let's talk about it yourself when you meet?!"

After Accountant Wang finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward. The other two villagers pushed them from behind, and Qi Lu and 076 followed behind.

With his head down halfway, Qi Lu silently followed Accountant Wang.

Qiao Lu was dead, and they had two classmates left, one was the careless Li Yangfan.One is Zhang Kun who has been a little strange since yesterday.

Accountant Wang said that they still had one classmate left, that is to say, another person died last night without their knowledge.

They all live in the Zhang family, but the number of people in the Zhang family is decreasing every day.

Qi Lu recalled the previous speculation - the Zhang family once abandoned a little girl, so the Zhang family declined.Their continuous death should also correspond to the curse of "human decline".

As for why Zhang Xiaomei took them out of the Zhang family, there should be no other meaning.Just a kind reminder.

After all, the fire last night did not know who would be burned to death.What if it's him or 076?

Why did Zhang Xiaomei help them?

Is it just because of the bean bun last night...

Qi Lu thought a lot by himself.

Giving Zhang Xiaomei a bean bag last night was just a matter of convenience for him. Maybe he wanted to talk to Zhang Xiaomei, or maybe it was to see her poor life in Zhang's house.

All in all, if this incident is not in the game, Qi Lu may turn around and forget about it.

But Zhang Xiaomei always remembered, and she used her actual actions to magnify this behavior that may not even be called "kindness".

The snow seemed to be a little lighter, Qi Lu raised his head and saw their destination.

—a grain warehouse.

Since it is winter, most of the grain in the warehouse has been sold out in autumn, and there are only some emergency grains in the warehouse.The place is very empty.

Zhang Yuanwai was lying on the camp bed, Zhang Xiaomei and Zhang Kun surrounded the bed, but Li Yangfan was not there.

Qi Lu asked: "Where is Li Yangfan?"

"Li Yangfan? Who is Li Yangfan? Isn't that Zhang Kun?" Accountant Wang asked: "Besides, isn't it just you three college students who came to the Zhang family?"

After finishing speaking, Accountant Wang sneered again: "Besides, you college students are too tired and tired, and you are all nesting in the old Liu's house. No one wants to come here at all."

Hearing that there was no such person as Li Yangfan at all, Qi Lu's face darkened——

Players who have "dead" completely disappear in the game, and even all villager NPCs will no longer remember this player.

Is this the mechanism of the game, or did Zhang Xiaomei play tricks on them?

Just when Qi Lu was puzzled, 076 on the side touched him with his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't you think the attitude of the villagers is more fierce? When we first came here, these villagers were not easily kidnapped."

"We seem to have found another rule."
