sunk in yesterday

He Jia vomited in the dark, Zhao Bin clutched his stomach, he was busy comforting others even though he felt unwell.

Ge Rong shrunk to the corner of the wall and squatted down, buried his head in his arms, and seemed to be trying to adjust himself.

The only one who dared to face it was Ke Jingsheng. Although his face was ugly, he could barely speak. Seeing Guan Yuzhou pouring out a plastic bag, he kept on pouring out pieces of meat, and he was weak. He asked, "What are you doing?"

Xia Zhuo took it for granted, "Looking for something."

He didn't do anything the whole time, just stood by the window and watched helplessly.

Ke Jingsheng opened his mouth and became dumb: "What can I find here..."

In the middle of the conversation, Guan Yuzhou shook out a key from the last plastic bag.

The key is of normal size, with a few patterns engraved on the dark gold metal, and a string of jade beads tied in the round hole at one end, like the inferior products that can be bought for a dozen or 20 yuan at night market stalls many years ago.

"Uncomfortable?" Guan Yuzhou took off his left glove and went up to rub Xia Zhuo's stomach.

Xia Zhuo shook his head, glanced at He Jia who was trembling, "It's okay, I think I've improved a lot."

Guan Yuzhou smiled, and stuffed a few candies into his pocket, "Are you still eating the biscuits?"

"Don't eat." Xia Zhuo leaned his head out of the window to take a breath of relatively fresh air, peeled off one and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweetness spread to every corner of the mouth before he let out a long breath, articulate. Unclearly asked: "Can the key open the fourth door?"

"It should be, go and try."

Before he could finish speaking, He Jia was already squatting and moving towards the corridor.As soon as she walked under the door frame, the head hanging high behind the door suddenly fell down with a bang. She didn't care about what happened, and rushed out of the door, yelling, muttering something like going back.

Xia Zhuo covered her ears and frowned, "Don't shout, keep your voice down, haven't you heard the saying 'the louder you scream, the faster you die'? Are you hoping that the aborigines will come to you right now?"

He almost pointed at He Jia and said that she had never seen the world and didn't know how she survived until now. A non-moving head can scare her out of her wits, and how many moving corpses he has talked with pass.

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable pride, and before he knew it, he became someone who would not hold Guan Yuzhou back.

He Jia stared at him with wide eyes, then looked at Guan Yuzhou who was following him expressionlessly, and murmured softly: "Why didn't you respond at all, it was a person... If it was an animal corpse, who would be so disgusting?"

It was the minced corpse that frightened her before, but now it was the attitude of the two of them that frightened her even more.

Guan Yuzhou didn't seem to have any resistance at all, and she was even able to search for clues in the pile of minced meat with ease. Participants who can kill are even more terrifying.

"Things can't be done, there are so many words." Xia Zhuo pulled Guan Yuzhou, and left without looking at her.

The key does match the fourth door on the other side. Since the consultant and Xu Heze are the same person, the consultant room he mentioned at the beginning does not exist, it is a study.

There is no unpleasant rancid smell in the air, only a faint scent of sandalwood. Compared with the smell of disinfectant in the corridor, it can be regarded as a paradise on earth.

As soon as you enter the door, there is an open bookcase on the front wall. Not only books are placed on the high and low wooden shelves, but also some cultural decorations are placed.The desk occupies almost two-thirds of the entire open space. One part is the office area where a laptop is placed, and the other small part is covered with felt. There are no calligraphy supplies such as brushes or rice paper on it. Chess pieces of the Colosseum chess board.

It is probably the most eye-catching thing here, because compared to the calm tones around it, its color scheme is the most gaudy. The entire chessboard is covered with emerald green grass, and the colors of each animal chess piece are also different. The games played in the sky are closely related, and several people surrounded them almost at the same time.

The chess pieces are of excellent workmanship, carved out of crystal, which does not match the cheap plastic chessboard.

Ge Rongrong let out a "huh" and drew the eyes of the people around him.She couldn't help being nervous when she was watched, and pointed to the crystal chess pieces, and said in a low voice: "There should be sixteen chess pieces on both sides, but there are only twelve here..."

Xia Zhuo turned his eyes back to the chessboard, and after a rough count, four pieces were missing.

Zhao Bin was at a loss, "Why less?"

"This game," Ke Jingsheng hesitated, "does it correspond to the number of us?"

Ge Rongrong said: "There are rats, there are cats, there are dogs... Where are the leopards? There are no leopards!"

Ke Jingsheng frowned, "There are no tigers either."

Xia Zhuo thought that Guan Yuzhou had told him that Yang Yin's blood volume would become the lowest, and Wan An would be a hindrance.The two of them were removed from the game, so they would naturally disappear on the chessboard. No need to think about it, Yang Yin is a leopard, and Wan An is her superior - a tiger.

But now knowing that the identities of the two are not important anymore, Xia Zhuo squeezed out of the crowd, and Guan Yuzhou was standing in front of the computer with a little blue light on his face.

He asked as he moved closer, "Is there anything in there?"

Guan Yuzhou shook his head, let go of the mouse to make room for him, "A power-on password is required." He paused, "And I searched around, and there is no charger in the room, so I have to stand by to save power before I find the password. .”

"How many digits is the password?"

Guan Yuzhou clicked on the prompt, and said lightly: "Eight."

Xia Zhuo pondered for a while, "Try Xu Mengzhi's birthday?"

"I've tried it. I've tried it every year. Fortunately, I haven't failed to lock the computer setting for a certain number of times."

"Then what else... Among the clues we got, only Xu Mengzhi's birthday is a number. This password can't be composed of letters, right?"

Guan Yuzhou didn't answer, but said, "Do you remember when we bumped into Wan'an on the stairs, he was holding a notebook?"

"Remember." Xia Zhuo stood up straight, "Will the password be in that notebook?"

"I don't know, this is just my guess." Guan Yuzhou glanced at him, then lowered his head suddenly, and whispered into his ear, "Give me the exchange card that Xu Mengzhi gave you."

Although Xia Zhuo didn't know what he wanted to do, he took it out of the warehouse and handed it over, and then watched Guan Yuzhou press the card under the computer.

He blinked and didn't mention this matter, but went on to the previous topic and said: "Then let's go..."

"When—when—"

Suddenly the bell rang from nowhere startled him, swallowed the rest of the sentence, almost biting his own tongue.He looked at Guan Yuzhou's suddenly frowned eyebrows, and followed the gaze of the other party to look at the few people gathered together. He Jia was standing in front of the chessboard with a face of embarrassment, holding a cat-shaped chess piece in his hand, his eyes were full of surprise indefinite.

"When—when—"

The clock was still ringing, and two drops of rain fell on the glass, and then a thunder flashed, and the sky darkened instantly.

It was Zhao Bin who reacted first, snatched the chess piece, and quickly put it back in place, "Why are you touching it?!"

It was the first time for him to talk to He Jia in such a loud voice. Although He Jia knew he was wrong, he still bit his lips unwillingly, "I, how did I know I couldn't move? You didn't say that. Maybe... Maybe it's just a coincidence, it doesn't necessarily have something to do with the bell ringing when I touch the chess pieces!"

"When—when—"

With the last two sounds, the deafening sound finally subsided, the wooden carved lamp above the head flickered a few times and then went out, leaving only the majestic sound of rain falling in my ears.

Xia Zhuo clicked his tongue, but didn't say much.

It is useless to blame, it is a waste of words.

"The clock struck six?"

Guan Yuzhou closed the computer, "Yes."

"That's six o'clock." Xia Zhuo hooked Guan Yuzhou's hand, took out the flashlight and pushed the switch, and the white light swept across the crack of the door, illuminating a cloud of white air floating in.He thought to himself that his eyes would not be foggy again, and sure enough, the next second he opened the door, the corridor was completely covered in fog and he couldn't see clearly.

Human beings are always afraid of unknown places. Seeing that they were about to leave again, Ke Jingsheng chased after them: "Where are you going?"

Xia Zhuo pointed at the fog, "Why, do you want to be together?"

He asked casually, but Ke Jingsheng nodded.

...In an instant, Guan Yuzhou felt his waist pinched.

Xia Zhuo grinned: "It's foggy outside, and now it seems that the study is the safest place. If you go out with us, we don't care whether you live or die."

"It's okay, I'll go too." Ke Jingsheng glanced at the computer on the table, "Are you looking for Wan'an's notebook? I've seen it."

"Where did you see it?"

Ke Jingsheng said: "I saw him returning to the room with a rice dumpling notebook at the stairs, and he avoided me at that time."

Xia Zhuo spent two seconds thinking, "Let's go there." He pretended to be calm and didn't look at Guan Yuzhou's expression now.

He swears, he really just thinks that Ke Jingsheng can be used as a shield, who knows what will suddenly come out of the fog?The injury on Guan Yuzhou's hand is still not healed, and he is not a kind person. Although he will not deliberately take advantage of people, this person has already caught up and sent him to the door for him to use. Isn't it a waste of resources?

A flashlight is not enough for three people. Ke Jingsheng took out his own, hesitated, and stood by Guan Yuzhou, one person away from Xia Zhuo.

After moving away from the window, the sound of the rain was cut off, leaving only the staggered footsteps of a few people around.

Xia Zhuo half-closed his eyes not to look at the road, and handed himself over to Guan Yuzhou. He basically focused on his voice, and he could react immediately if there was any abnormality.Ke Jingsheng also kept quiet, but when he went down the stairs to the second floor, he suddenly turned his head and hesitantly asked Xia Zhuo a question: "I always thought I saw you somewhere...do you have any impression of me? ?”

Xia Zhuo was taken aback.

Except for Guan Yuzhou, there was nothing left in his mind, so when Ke Jingsheng said that, he stopped even thinking, his expression was flat, and he couldn't say he was surprised or expecting.

In fact, he already regretted his wish to retrieve his memory back then. Even now, the more points he has and the closer he is to being able to exchange for a deduction card, the more resistant he is.

He hadn't answered yet, but Guan Yuzhou spoke up for him, "What do you mean?"

Xia Zhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard his angry voice, and later realized that the words were not meant for herself.

Ke Jingsheng shook his head hastily, "I'm sorry, I'm just... curious. I really don't mean anything else, but I think he looks familiar after seeing him, but I can't remember it, so I only look at him occasionally. of someone you like."

An idol in the rising stage of his career is very sensitive to the topic of love, but he showed his hole card first, and his words should be true.

Guan Yuzhou sneered, "Who you like has nothing to do with me, but I have already reminded you once in advance not to look around, I just have nothing to do here."

Ke Jingsheng met his gaze, subconsciously took a step back, "...Sorry."

Guan Yuzhou turned to look at Xia Zhuo.The hostility in his eyes subsided for a moment, and seeing Xia Zhuo's puzzled expression, he stretched his eyebrows and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xia Zhuo first gave him a bright smile, then shook his head obediently, "It's nothing."

Maybe he really met Ke Jingsheng before, but so what?If there is something Guan Yuzhou doesn't want him to know, then he just doesn't ask and just pretend to be stupid.

The corner of Guan Yuzhou's lips twitched, and he didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and stroked his hair, his voice became very gentle, "Shh...it's almost here."
