After the soul is driven out of the body [Comprehensive]

When the four of them approached the big iron gate of the villa, the iron gate was tightly closed. Shuqi went to the doorbell and pressed it twice. The camera screen suddenly lit up, and a woman's face appeared inside, and said with a smile: " Miss, you are back."

Takeshi Momoshiro was next to Shuqi, startled by the woman's big face on the screen, took a step back, looked at Fuji Shusuke beside him in a daze, and then the big iron gate slowly opened.

Shu Qi stepped in first, "There are still people in here. It seems that this level may be different from the escape room at Yusue Nakata's place."

Takeshi Momoshiro followed behind her, and couldn't help muttering: "Senior Kurokawa, you are quite courageous, aren't you afraid that there are all wronged souls inside?"

"I have thought about it, but as long as I think of the fire-covered skeleton man in the last level, he walked slower than zombies, and I know that this is not the way to kill us here, otherwise we will die on the first night Well, the previous ones should have died within seven days, and the point is for us to unravel the truth of three years ago."

Entering the big iron gate is the steps. The middle of the steps is like a small stream. The clear water flows down slowly from the top of the steps. When you enter the door, you can see a small viewing pool in a square shape. There are six goldfish in the pool.

The cement road with slopes on both sides of the steps used to be a garden. When the cold wind blows, you can still smell the faint fragrance of flowers. Under the faint moonlight, there is an illusion of breaking into the garden.

"Why did the woman on the screen call you Miss just now?" Momoshiro Takeshi asked.

"I don't know." Shuqi ran up the steps quickly, and finally stopped in front of the gate, turned around and looked down the steps, "Tsk, Huajing's family is really not ordinary rich. Such a big villa was built in Jin’s place.”

Echizen Ryoma came up later than her, and scanned the gardens on the left and right, "The trees and flowers on the left and right are symmetrical."

"Yeah." Fuji Zhousuke came up later than them, he stopped and walked all the way, observing the surroundings, "The head of the Huajing family should be a person who likes symmetry and even numbers, and the goldfish in the pool are all red, white and gold. couple."

"Such a person should have obsessive-compulsive disorder." Shu Qi pinched her itchy nose, turned around and was about to knock on the door, when the white door slowly opened, revealing two rows of maids wearing maid uniforms , "Welcome Miss!!"

Just like a scene in a TV series, all the maids in the two rows bowed ninety degrees, and the woman standing in the front was the woman on the screen just now, she was smiling very festively.

Shuqi stood where she was, not knowing whether to enter or not, "... Missy is calling me, isn't she?"

"Perhaps." Echizen Ryoma said beside him, without any surprise in his eyes.

"Go ahead." Fujisuke said.

As soon as Shuqi stepped into the door, the woman also came forward and said with a smile: "Miss, are you going to eat first, or go back to the room to take a bath, or go to the garden to rest?"

When Shuqi heard such a conversation, she immediately thought that this was a mission issued by an NPC. She smiled and said, "Go back to the room first."

"Okay, miss, your dinner is ready." He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Shuqi: "...This is still a compulsory task!"

"Pfft, have the same virtue as someone." Echizen Ryoma looked at Shu Qi's dazed look, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

Shu Qi glanced at him sideways, and snorted softly, "Forget it, since the npcs say to eat first, let's eat first."

"If Kurokawa-senpai is regarded as Hanai Ryoka, then we should not be able to see us, otherwise we should look for clues now." Momoshiro Takeshi suggested, and he walked in directly after speaking.

Shu Qi also walked forward, but the strange thing is that the woman, including the other maids, seemed to be frozen, motionless, even the smile on her face did not change, and her dark eyes did not have any expression .

Shu Qi walked back halfway, "Didn't you say you want to eat? Why don't you go." She tugged on the woman's sleeve, but she still stood there stiffly like a motionless wax figure.

"What's going on here?" Shu Qi circled around the woman several times in confusion, without blinking her eyes.

Echizen Ryoma narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head slightly and stared at the motionless NPCs, "They seem to be wired."

"Threads?" Shu Qi ran to Echizen Ryoma's point of view, and through the light, she could indeed vaguely see some thin silver-white threads on their bodies, heads, hands, legs, like...

"String puppets." Fuji Zhousuke lightly grasped a thin string holding the woman's elbow, "Does this mean that they are being controlled?"

"Hey, why are you still standing here?" Takeshi Momoshiro came back again, "Just now I went to the first floor of this building to check everything, and the doors were all closed and couldn't be opened at all. Some people, but they don't move at all, which is strange."

A flash of electricity seemed to flash through Shuqi's mind, and in an instant, she suddenly understood, "I see, this is an rpg (role-playing game), or the oldest kind, we must follow the npc, otherwise the game will not progress, no Say I am Ryoka Hanai, but we are all Ryoka Hanai."

When Taocheng Wu heard this, he immediately understood what Shuqi meant, and walked to the position just now. Sure enough, in the next second, the faces of the npcs who had been motionless finally stopped being so stiff.

Shu Qi tentatively walked forward, and the woman followed her, still smiling, Shu Qi now felt that her smile was too fake, even a little weird, like wearing a smiling mask.

"Well, are my parents at home?" Shuqi asked tentatively.

What I got was: "Miss, please follow me this way."

"...This kind of rpg game is really the most boring." Shu Qi spread her hands helplessly.

"Perhaps there is some metaphor for such a game setting." Fuji Zhouzhu observed the decoration of the surrounding houses and some passing marionettes along the way.

They completely follow the npc's request, and all the npcs in the room are also active, but as long as they stop, all the npcs will stop.

"What kind of metaphor, tell us that Ryoka Hanai is also forced to arrange all activities at home like this? Impossible, she is the eldest lady." Takeshi Momoshiro frowned, somewhat disbelieving.

"It's possible." Echizen Ryoma said, "Isn't Joan being arranged all his life? Maybe Ryoka Hanai yearns for the role of Joan so much because of the same situation."

Fujizuki pursed his lips slightly, "Although they are called string puppets, I think we are string puppets now, controlled by these puppets, but we don't have strings on our bodies."

"If it's as Echizen said, then Hanai Ryoka is really a marionette." Shu Qi stopped, and sure enough, the woman beside her also stopped, and glanced at the false smiling face of the woman beside her. The same is true for Xiang, she must want to break free from control like Joan.

Now they are in the lobby on the second floor, and there is a family portrait hanging on the left wall in the center.

The middle-aged man was sitting in the middle of the sofa, with a serious expression on his face. Standing behind him on the right was a beautiful young woman with a gentle smile on her face, and standing on the left of the sofa was Ryoka Hanai, with There is an elegant arc hanging in the eyes, and there is no smile in the eyes, which is compared with the photo of Nakata Yusue.

In this photo, Ryoka Hanai smiled very hypocritically, comparable to the smile on that npc woman's face.

Shuqi pointed to the family photo, "Huajing's family is definitely a patriarchal family. It's obviously a family photo. What the hell is it that the wife and daughter stand behind such a big sofa?"

"This home doesn't feel warm at all. After I came in, I felt unpopular. Although this place is just a dream, it was also created according to Hanai Ryoka's thoughts and impressions. That is to say, the current scene here is hers. idea."

"Let's go." Echizen Ryoma said.

I finally walked to the dining table. The table was a standard long table. At first glance, it was about ten meters long. There were four bowls and chopsticks on it. The bottom position of the main seat happened to belong to the four of them. The front seat and the two sides of the front seat The positions are all empty and nobody is there.

When the four of them sat down, a row of men in chef's uniform came over, holding various dishes in their hands, and putting them on the table one by one, dazzling people.

Takeshi Momoshiro looked at the food on the table and swallowed, "Do we really want to eat it?" He didn't have any appetite at all, it looked like gourmet food, but who knows what it really is.

"Just move your chopsticks and pretend to eat. You have to go through this plot, right." Shu Qi casually picked up the two knives and forks on the table.

"Miss, you took the wrong fork." The woman who had been silent all this time bowed slightly, pointed to the biggest fork on the table and said, "It should be this one."

Shuqi obediently changed the fork, and when she was about to reach for the steak in front of her, the woman said again: "Miss, it's dinner time, eating steak is easy to indigestion and gain weight." She brought the fruit salad in front of her .

"...So why did you put the steak in front of me just to show me?" Shu Qi was speechless.

Shuqi didn't want to eat at first, so she just wanted to make a few perfunctory meals, but just these two times were controlled like this, the young lady Hanai Ryoka really had a very miserable life.

"Maybe we are not the only ones sitting at this table now." Fuji Zhousuke said while looking at the main seat.

As soon as these words came out, Shu Qi and Takeshi Momoshiro shuddered at the same time, their hairs stood on end, and they looked at the main seat and the positions on both sides of the main seat.

"Fuer (senior), don't make such a sullen voice all of a sudden, it's scary." Shu Qi and Takeshi Momoshiro said in unison.

Fuji Zhousuke smiled innocently at the two of them, "My voice is normal, but I'm just telling the truth. According to so many rules of the Huajing family, the whole family must eat together at meal time, so the host sits. It was Hanai's father, and with so much food on it, it's impossible for Hanai Ryoka to eat it alone."

"Then there are other NPCs, why didn't Huajing's parents show up!" Shu Qi really didn't expect so much, if all the Huajing family members showed up, why didn't Huajing's parents show up.

"Perhaps Ryoka Hanai didn't want to create her parents, or..." Echizen Ryoma paused, looked at the empty main seat, and lowered his clear boyish voice on purpose, "It means that everyone in this room is It's a marionette on a string, and the only one who can't see is the one holding the string."
