Paranoid Beauty reigns supreme at Infinite Game

do you want to die

The ethereal cock crow pierces the silence of the long night, wakes up the rising sun, and quietly moves into the air.

Zhu Changan frowned and opened his eyes, seeing Zong Xiao's flushed eyes and haggard face.

"Chang'an, you're awake."

Zong Xiao leaned forward to ask, his voice full of tiredness from having not slept all night.

Zhu Changan sat up, the pain in his back had disappeared, but it still left a deep impression on Zhu Changan.

Since he entered the game after his death, he has never suffered such a serious injury.

"Drink of water."

Zong Xiao took a glass of water and carefully fed it to Zhu Changan.

Zhu Chang'an drank a couple of sips, glanced out of the window, saw that the sky was bright, and he could faintly see the golden glow cast by the sun.

"When is it?"

"Eight//nine o'clock."

From heavy rain to haze to sunrise, the closer we get to the real world, the weather outside the house also changes. If Zhu Changan's deduction is correct, this is the real world.

"Have you found the exit yet?"

Zhu Changan got up and got out of bed, stood at the window and looked down, and saw that the stout cherry tree was still dense, and the breeze was blowing and the pink petals were fluttering.

"It's not sure yet. Lu Bai and the others checked the hotel and found no other abnormal entrances and exits."

Zong Xiao saw Zhu Changan's tall and straight figure, but a little thin, and seemed to see Zhu Changan standing on the cliff in a daze, only half a step away from the abyss, the cold wind set off Zhu Changan's loneliness all over his body .

"Did you go out to have a look?"

Zhu Changan turned around and was about to go downstairs, but saw Zong Xiao standing there staring at him in a daze, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you thinking? There is something on my face?"

Zong Xiao came back to his senses and said sullenly, "You look good."

"When did you say such nonsense?"

Zhu Changan glanced at him lightly, without continuing to speak, pushed the door and went downstairs.

"The gate of the hotel is locked. After checking around, Lu Bai and the others suspect that the gate is the exit in the mission."

Zong Xiao secretly regretted why he was daydreaming, even speaking with his mouth, but his brain said it, so he had to change the topic.

"Locked?"

"Well. The Goodyears said that there was an epidemic in the town outside. They were worried that the child would get sick if they ran out, so they locked the door."

When Zhu Changan went downstairs, he lowered his eyes and saw a group of people gathered downstairs.

In addition to the Goodyear couple chatting with the player, there are two children beside them.

One is Heidi, and the other is the dead Cicely.

The two of them surrounded the Goodyear couple's knees with laughter and laughter, looking like good sisters.

"Are you awake? I heard from your friends that you are not feeling well. I specially made mushroom soup. Come and taste it."

Mrs. Goodyear stretched out her hand and greeted Zhu Changan to come down to Nanfeng to drink soup, her tone was gentle and her smile was like a flower.

Zhu Changan's gaze stayed on Cicely, who seemed to be curious about him as well, looking at him with big watery eyes.

Cicely's pupils are large and extremely dark. At first glance, it looks like a bottomless pool of stagnant water. It is easy to think of the eyes of that human skin doll.

Lu Bai got up and took Zhu Changan and Zong Xiao to sit on the small sofa far away from the Goodyear family.

"Just now we asked around again. Mrs. Goodyear said this time that we moved in two days ago. And I tentatively mentioned the doll, but neither Heidi nor Cicely responded, as if they were interested in the doll. Lost interest."

Lu Bai lowered his voice a little while speaking, "He bowed his head and said: "But I think Cicely is a bit suspicious.She is the latest character to appear, and she happens to be the sister character who never appears in the ballad. Goodyear is the murderer, and Mrs. Goodyear and Heidi are the victims. Although Cicely is mentioned in the second world died, but the exact cause of her death was not explained. "

Their communication was interrupted for a while because of Mrs. Goodyear's approach, and they resumed their discussion after a few polite glances at each other to signal Ji Yunhu to leave each other.

"And the Goodyear couple in the second world are very friendly. The attack on us last night was also under the control of the doll, so Cicely is very likely to be the real body of the doll."

In many horror movies about dolls, the reason why dolls harm people is attributed to the possession of evil spirits.

Lu Bai and the others also think so, and Cicely is the beginning of everything.

"This ballad was also written by the possessed Cicely."

Under Lu Bai's restoration, Cicely was possessed by the evil spirit in the doll, and then wrote this ballad, and sang it to the Goodyear couple, and influenced them, so she committed the murder at night .

"Since Cicely was possessed by the doll's evil spirit, why did she die?"

Lubai stuck.There are too few clues to prove this point, and it is difficult for them to even infer.

Zhu Chang'an recalled Mrs. Goodyear's reaction when she heard the ballad yesterday, and noticed a small thing.

His colorful cold eyes are like gems scattered in the white snow, bright and cold.

"Mrs. Goodyear's face changed drastically yesterday because of Heidi's words. She didn't respond to Heidi's doll, which means that there was no doll around when Cicely said these words to them. Then she would never Where did you hear the lyrics?"

Zhu Changan raised his cold eyes, and his eyes fell on Heidi and Cicely who were playing clapping games.

Cicely is well-behaved and gentle, her voice is exactly the same as that of the doll who called her mother in the corridor yesterday.

Heidi accidentally touched the corner of the table with her hand, and immediately hugged her hand with tears in her eyes and cried out in pain.

The Goodyears immediately hugged Heidi in their arms distressedly, and gently blew on the back of the hurt hand.

"Heidi is beautiful and squeamish, like a doll princess."

Cicely stood aside, laughing and teasing Heidi.

Heidi pouted when she heard the words, "Of course, I am the cutest Princess Heidi."

"Have you ever been to Cicely's room?"

Listening to their conversation, Zhu Changan turned to ask Lu Bai.

The other party shook his head, "Their rooms are all locked. We won't pick the locks. Zong Xiao is taking care of you, so I plan to wait until you wake up."

Zhu Chang'an asked Shang Zong Xiao to stand up and go upstairs, and before leaving, he told Lu Bai not to go upstairs as much as possible for the Goodyear family.

After the two went upstairs, they went directly to Cicely's room. Zong Xiao became more and more proficient in his skills, and opened the door neatly with silver wire in less than ten seconds.

Having seen Heidi's room, it feels simple and plain to see Cicely's room now.

Zhu Changan went to the desk in front of the window to search, but Zong Xiao quickly found what he was looking for from under Cicely's pillow.

It was a wooden doll, a rough semi-finished product, with only one outline, but in the heart of the doll, Heidi's name was heavily carved with a knife.

"Cicely probably doesn't like Heidi..."

"No. She hates everyone."

Zhu Changan found a complete version of the lyrics written on pure black cardboard under the desk mat.

The last verse is basically the same as what happened last night.

The whole song is dark and eerie, and it's hard to imagine that it was written by a child.

None of the parents and sisters in the song who are referred to in the song got a good death. They either became perverted murderers or died tragically.

It can be seen how much Cicely who wrote this ballad hated her sister and parents.

Zhu Chang'an saw that the layout of the room was crude compared to Heidi's, and said softly: "Excessive preference, even the biological children will feel resentful."

"The size and posture of this wooden doll are basically the same as that of the human skin doll under the cherry blossom tree, and it is very likely to be the same one."

"So the human skin on that doll is actually Heidi's? But its voice is like Cicely..."

Zong Xiao is a little puzzled, if this is the case, wouldn't it be a paradox.

Heidi is still alive, how could she dig out from under the cherry blossom tree and make a doll out of her human skin.

"Did you forget that the first two latitudes we experienced were all false? So the plot completely followed the content of the ballad."

Zong Xiao reacted to Zhu Changan's words, "Then Cicely is undoubtedly the boss this time, as long as we get rid of her..."

While Zong Xiao was talking, he suddenly had a premonition that something was wrong.

"Quite the opposite, I'm afraid."

Zhu Changan pinched the cardboard, his slender fingers, which were as white as green onions, looked even whiter against the black background.

He lowered his eyes, "Although we entered the copy at the lowest latitude, the normal order should follow the order of the lyrics, and there was a point in the latitude yesterday that was not in the lyrics."

"There is no mention of Cicely in the lyrics, but there is a picture of Cicely at yesterday's latitude, the room, it's just that Cicely is dead at that latitude."

"So if Cicely's death is the key to entering the world of Latitude..."

"Then not only can we not kill Cicely, but we also need to ensure that Cicely lives well. If we go back to the latitude world in the lyrics, the system will definitely not have the chance to come back."

Zong Xiao's expression froze when he heard the words, "But we don't know the cause of Cicely's death, so we are really passive."

Speaking of this, Zong Xiao had an idea, "Cicely's death is nothing more than her family's fault, unless she committed suicide, how about we lock them in a separate room to avoid Cicely's death?"

Zhu Chang'an shook his head and chuckled, "It's too conservative. Besides, we don't know when Cicely will die. Are we going to spend it here every day?"

He pressed his fingertips hard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Break down the door directly. Since the door is the most likely exit, then open the door directly."

"What are you doing?"

A sudden voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and they all looked at the door.

The door of the room that was originally closed by Zhu Changan after entering the door was opened again at some point.

And the protagonist of the topic, Cicely, has stood silently at the door for an unknown how long.

There was no longer a gentle smile on her face, but a very cold and cold expression.Those big and deep eyes never blinked, they stared straight at Zhu Changan and Zong Xiao.

"Dare to touch my things, do you want to die?"
