Picked up a little wolf in an escape game

Is it a black figure, or... a black figure?

It was too dark to see clearly.

"Hello." He Lin didn't regard himself as an outsider, and asked directly: "Do you mind if we turn on the light? It's too dark here, we can't see anything."

The black figure did not answer, and did not express any objection.

"Then I'll take it as your acquiescence." He Lin nodded and gestured to Lin Xueer.

Lin Xueer immediately and carefully lit the candlestick in her hand with a lighter, and put the candlestick on the ground.

The warm and bright fire light suddenly illuminated the whole room.Wang Yunzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the owner of the room - he saw a strange scene that he hadn't seen since coming to the paradise.

Most of the shadows in the paradise are black shadows. Those black shadows that haunt the rooms and theaters are all pitch-black human figures, without weight, without facial features, and some have a mouth that can speak and bite, but other than that There is nothing outside, a piece of black hole, not good-looking.

However, the "owner" in the room now is not a black shadow, but a relatively clear ghost-like shadow, like a wisp of dead soul cut out from an old photo, which is much better-looking and clearer than the black shadow.

Sitting in the wheelchair was a young girl. She lost her original body, but used her soul to condense a more beautiful appearance. Her face was very thin, and her big black eyes were full of sorrow and sorrow. A simple dress, her limbs are a mass of white, and she can't see the specific shape at all. Even so, she can be recognized. She is Zhao Xinlian in the data, the physically disabled eldest daughter. Looking at it now , she has abandoned her disabled body, leaving only her soul.

Behind her, there is another figure, with both hands on the handles of the wheelchair, responsible for pushing the wheelchair. It is the soul of an old lady, wearing simple and clean clothes, with silver hair combed into a bun, and a face full of scars. The traces of the years, deep wrinkles are carved on the cheeks and forehead, and the back is also hunched, but it can be seen that the appearance is hale and hearty, and the unique cunning of the elderly is shining in the eyes, as well as a kind of unyielding energy from the bottom Son.

"Excuse me, are you...Miss Xinlian and Granny Zheng?" Wang Yunzhi asked.

"Yes, I'm Xinlian, and this is Granny Zheng." The girl in the wheelchair showed a pale smile. Although she was still melancholy and thin, this smile contained a sense of relaxation and relief. After coming out, she is in a much better mood now than when her father, stepmother and younger siblings were alive.

"We found this place according to Alice's mark on the map, and we came to ask Alice for the key to leave this paradise." Wang Yunzhi said politely.

The eldest daughter Xinlian in the wheelchair was silent for a while, raised her thin chin, and nodded towards the wall.

In the faint golden candlelight, one can see that a line of words written in blood gradually emerged on the wall——

The final condition for clearing the Dark Fairy Tale Paradise: Kiss the back of Alice's left hand, and she will give you the key. (Note: only one chance.)

"Thank you!" Lin Xueer immediately jumped up in surprise after seeing the handwriting clearly. She did not expect that the eldest daughter, as the actual controller of the paradise, has a tragic experience of being abused by her family for a long time. She should be a distorted and violent talent. Yes, but the fact that the eldest daughter is so talkative and can give the key to the player so easily is awesome.

She had known for a long time that the eldest daughter was Zhao Xinlian, and Zhao Xinlian was Alice, both of which belonged to her own name, so since she wanted to kiss her left hand, of course, what was so difficult about it?

Accustomed to seeing the horrific shadows in the paradise, Lin Xueer had a great impression of Xinlian's soft and beautiful soul. She felt that although she was thin and weak, she had a kind of lovable feeling, so she immediately ran to For my eldest daughter who is in a wheelchair, I want to pull her left hand...

"Lin Xueer, don't move yet." Wang Yunzhi's heart sank, and he immediately stopped her.

"Why?" Lin Xueer still listened to people's persuasion, especially her elder brother Yunzhi's words, and immediately stopped, but she turned around unconvinced: "The rules are clearly stated, I can do it right now." Got the key."

"This player, are you afraid that I will hurt her?" A pale smile appeared on the eldest daughter's face: "No, you are players who are about to pass the level successfully. I will not hurt you, I promise."

"I never doubted that you would hurt us, but I just think that things are not that simple." Wang Yunzhi said.

"Brother Yunzhi, don't you think too much? What kind of tricks can you play with such a simple sentence?" Lin Xueer still didn't believe it.

"Don't contradict, come back quickly." He Lin said fiercely to Lin Xueer in a low voice.

"..." Lin Xueer only dared to act like a baby to Wang Yunzhi, but she didn't dare to offend He Lin, so she came back pouted.

In fact, He Lin didn't know what Wang Yunzhi was hesitating about. After killing Lin Xueer, he had no choice but to cast doubtful eyes on Wang Yunzhi.

"I'm not being picky, but there are still some doubts in these materials, which are still lingering in my heart." Wang Yunzhi opened the diary. In the pages of the diary, there are all the things they got since they came to the paradise. Materials, including photos, newspaper clippings, diaries, hospital reports...etc.

Wang Yunzhi picked out all of Alice's diaries and put them together:

XXXX year X month X day

My name is Alice, where is my mother?

XXXX year X month X day

Dad married a new mother, and the new mother said, Alice looks so ugly, like a monster, I cried sadly.

XXXX year X month X day

They always hit me, scold me, and I want to run away.

XXXX year X month X day

I hate my stepmother, that vicious slut, and her little monsters, they took everything that belonged to me, since their appearance, the father that belonged to me disappeared, I hate them.

XXXX year X month X day

I have dreamed countless times that I personally killed that bitch and her little monsters, hahahahahaha...

XXXX year X month X day

A very happy thing happened today. I locked myself in the room, secretly smiling alone, laughing very happily.

XXXX year X month X day

My name is Alice, please don’t call me by other names, I don’t like even the official name, but I can’t stop people from calling me by my name, so I dare to emphasize it over and over in my heart, I'm Alice, I'm Alice.

XXXX year X month X day

I picked up a magical thing in the basement of the paradise. It was a contract book, which stated that as long as you sell your soul to the devil, you can gain complete control of the paradise and control the life and death of the entire paradise and even everyone in the paradise. Power, sounds really tempting, but there is a condition, that is, the contractor must be the blood of Zhao Yaosheng, the owner of the paradise.

This condition is not a problem at all... I looked at the contract and secretly laughed.

XXXX year X month X day

Zhao Jiahui did it on her own, she must not know what consequences her viciousness and willfulness would cause.

While pretending to obey her orders, I secretly took out the contract, turned my back to her, and smiled...

XXXX year X month X day

I'm Alice, I found this diary from the dusty old things, and found that it was only written on the first page when I was a child, and the back is all blank, so now I decided to fill these blanks.

XXXX year X month X day

I drew a map, a map of Paradise.

XXXX year X month X day

The park is huge, and there are unexpected things everywhere.

……

After flipping through all the diaries page by page, and carefully reading the rest of the materials, Wang Yunzhi finally got up and walked towards the shadow.

Walking to the wheelchair, he whispered, "Thank you, Miss Xinlian."

The eldest daughter was still sitting firmly in the wheelchair, but nodded with a smile.

Wang Yunzhi did not half-kneel down to kiss her left hand, but turned to the black figure pushing the wheelchair: "Thank you, Granny Zheng, or Alice."

"What?" Lin Xueer was stunned by his strange address: "Mr. Yunzhi, did you call the wrong person? Alice is Miss Xinlian. Why did you call the old woman Alice..."

"No, I am not mistaken." Wang Yunzhi stood in front of Granny Zheng, bowed, and then politely held up her old left hand. The skin on it was thick and dark, covered with wrinkles and age spots. It could be held up weakly without much weight, Wang Yunzhi lowered his head, and kissed lightly on the back of that hand.

A meaningful smile appeared on Granny Zheng's face, she slowly withdrew her hand, took out a bunch of keys from her waist, took one of them, and handed it to Wang Yunzhi.

The figure of Granny Zheng is illusory, but the bunch of keys is real, and a heavy one falls in the palm of the hand, which is very textured.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Two familiar voices came from the stairs. Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep came down and bowed to the three players: "Congratulations to players Wang Yunzhi, He Lin, and Lin Xueer, congratulations on your success! I got the key to clear this block, as a friendly reminder, there is also Lin Tonger, the god of death, who is locked in an iron cage, don't forget her..."

"Of course, I won't forget my sister." As soon as Lin Xueer said this, her expression became a little sad.

"How did you guess that Alice belongs to Granny Zheng?" Zhao Xinlian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked softly, "I guess, at first, everyone thought Alice was me, right?"

"Yes, it's easy to get into a misunderstanding, but it's hard to get out." Wang Yunzhi admitted: "All of us thought that Alice was completely you, and the stories she told in her diary were completely your stories... It wasn't until just now that I realized that there are some doubts that cannot be ignored. These doubts directly ruled out the possibility that you are Alice, so I got out of the misunderstanding. It's just...Miss Xinlian, I don't want to talk about it in front of you Especially talking about the idea of ​​solving puzzles, such a topic will inevitably involve your wounds, if I talk too much, it will be very rude."

"It's nothing, everything is in the past, I am very happy and free now, I don't mind if you mention those past events that made me sad, they are all real things, I don't want to avoid them." Zhao Xinlian showed a smile instead , she may not have seen human beings for too long, and she would like to have a chat with Wang Yunzhi. She was often bullied by her parents and younger siblings since she was a child. Naturally, she has a good impression of Wang Yunzhi's non-aggressive personality. How to talk to He Lin: "Tell me, tell me what doubts you found."

"The first is the handwriting." Wang Yunzhi said.

However, after saying these five words, he was unwilling to explain in detail.

"I understand what you're thinking. Alice's handwriting in her diary is so smooth and powerful. Only a healthy person can write such words, and I." Zhao Xinlian playfully raised her and blurred into a The hand of the halo condensed a white and delicate healthy hand with mental power: "Although I can use my mental power to condense the limbs I want, but at that time, I only had a mutilated body. Shrunken limbs, my hands do not have the strength to write such words, I believe, you have all seen my signature on the hell contract, that is my real signature - crooked, chaotic and weak, signed by Zhao Xinlian Three words."

"Yes... yes." Lin Xueer dug out the contract from the documents, and it was true.

"Then, there is the date of Alice's diary." Wang Yunzhi said: "Most of the dates written on it are blurred and unrecognizable, but the paper can't lie. Alice's diary when she was a child is still on paper It has already withered and become brittle... It will be broken into pieces when the wind blows, and the craftsmanship has long been behind the times, even the color of the ink is old. However, the paper of the later diary is new, and the ink is new and clear. The early diary There are at least a few decades between the diary and the later period, which does not match your age."

Granny Zheng nodded critically, couldn't help but look at Wang Yunzhi a few more times, and said, "Young man, you are quite careful."

Although Granny Zheng's voice is old, it still reveals a kind of meanness that is not easy to provoke, and her tone fluctuates, which is in line with the character in the diary.

"There are many other bits and pieces of doubts. For example, in all the materials, there has never been a word saying that Alice and Zhao Xinlian are the same person, and everything is our own misunderstanding." Wang Yunzhi shook his head with a wry smile: "Alice Alice once said that everything that happened in Paradise is her story. Like you, she was bullied by her stepmother and others, but this kind of bullying does not match your living environment. Alice needs to be in the forest Working for her stepmother... Such a living environment, on the contrary, completely matches Granny Zheng's childhood."

He Lin found the diary of the second young lady Zhao Jiahui from the documents, and there was a sentence in it: Grandma Zheng said that her family was poor, her life was miserable since she was a child, and her relatives were unreliable...

There is also a sentence in the previous newspaper clipping: Grandma Zheng’s home is in the suburban countryside, and she was born in poverty...

"Yes, you guessed it right. I did adapt the story of Little Red Riding Hood based on my own experience. I lived in the suburbs where there was a large forest. That woman often forced me to work in the forest and deliver things..." Zheng The mother-in-law showed a mean smile: "And the drinking, beating...all happened to me."

"Perhaps it's because of the same illness, so Granny Zheng loves me very much." Zhao Xinlian said softly: "Our situations are similar but different. Both our birth mother passed away, without the love of our father, and suffering from stepmother and stepmother's children... so Unfortunately, it happened in thousands of families, Granny Zheng's biological mother taught her to write before she passed away, so she has been able to vent the pain in her heart by writing a diary."

Wang Yunzhi didn't know how to comfort the poor girl, all words became powerless in front of their experience.

"Fortunately, when the second lady was about to drive me away, I accidentally picked up that devil's contract in the basement." Granny Zheng showed a complacent and pleased expression on her face: "As long as you sign the contract, you can do whatever you want, but There is a condition, it must be the blood of the Zhao family to sign, I can't sign it, this can't stop my determination, I turned around and gave the contract to Miss Xinlian, this contract is a good thing, it can help her escape The sea of ​​bitterness, and my old woman together."

"Perhaps, the contract did not appear unintentionally, but Hell deliberately proposed cooperation to you in order to achieve the goal." Wang Yunzhi said.

"Perhaps, except for desperate people like my mother-in-law and me, who else would sign a contract with hell?" Zhao Xinlian shook her head with a smile.

"Sister Xinlian, after signing the contract, did you abandon your original body?" Lin Xueer asked a little scared.

"Yes, after transforming the paradise into a dark fairy tale paradise, the original body will become my burden instead. It is better to have such a body, which is light and casual." Zhao Xinlian waved her hand: "If I use the original body, I may even Can't leave this wheelchair, and now, I still use a wheelchair just out of habit, this soul body can fly anywhere at any time."

"Like those black shadows we saw before?" Lin Xueer stuck out her tongue.

"..." As soon as the black shadow was mentioned, Zhao Xinlian fell silent.

"Little girl, don't mention Heiying." Granny Zheng immediately reprimanded Lin Xueer unhappily: "Xinlian is just too kind, she simply can't bear to burn so many people to death, I deliberately guided her , she gave the order to set the fire..."

"No, I am the actual controller of the paradise, and the responsibility for the fire is always on me." Zhao Xinlian interrupted Granny Zheng calmly: "At that time, I was full of anger towards my younger brothers and sisters, and I just wanted to kill them... ...So I couldn't control my own strength, and set fire to the entire paradise, which is my responsibility and cannot be shirked."

"Are the dark shadows in the park all tourists and staff?" Lin Xueer asked.

"Yes, there are tourists, staff, reporters, salesmen... and people of various professions." Zhao Xinlian closed her eyes: "In order to redeem, I will be with all of them when the flames are burning. The contract was signed, that is, the contract of exchanging the flesh for the Paradise Coin, you have probably heard the introduction from Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep."

"Yes, when players came to the paradise, I said that there are two ways to get paradise coins, one is to sell your own body parts, and the other is to become an actor." Miss Sheep said with a smile: "It's a pity that all players Did not understand the benefits of the former."

"Of course, it's because they will be burned to death soon, so they have to choose the former way." Lin Xueer complained.

"After selling their bodies, they become black shadows without flesh, wandering in the paradise, carrying the exchanged paradise coins." Mr. Rabbit also explained: "So, these shadows have money to go Watching your performances in the auditorium, and having money to buy popcorn."

"Then, are your two hateful younger sisters and younger brothers dead?" When it came to this topic, Lin Xueer was a little maliciously excited.

"Of course I'm dead, those two annoying little guys deserve to die." Granny Zheng said viciously.

"But where are their bodies? I've never seen them before." Lin Xueer said.

"I hate the two of them, so I didn't sign a contract with them, and I didn't give them a chance to survive as black shadows. They were burned to death by me." Only when it comes to younger siblings, Zhao Xinlian no longer has a soft and gentle attitude. The temperament revealed indifference and cruelty: "As for the bones, of course they are left behind."

"Where is it? Where is it? I really want to take a look!" Lin Xueer feared that the world would not be chaotic, so she excitedly looked left and right, looking everywhere.

"Don't make trouble..." Wang Yunzhi stopped it.

"Hey, what's the matter, if the little girl wants to see it, let her take a look." Granny Zheng turned to Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep brightly: "You two, it's time to show your true colors and let the little girl grow up. experience."

"Ah! No way! Could it be that Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep are those two hateful younger siblings?" Lin Xueer was startled.

"What are you thinking? Of course not, they both said they are dead!" Granny Zheng gave Lin Xueer a look: "Look!"

Upon hearing the boss's order, Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep glanced at each other. They immediately took off their hoods obediently, unzipped the zipper at the back, and got out—two black shadows came out.

"These two shadows are the most capable staff we selected from all the shadows." Granny Zheng said: "They are the actual controllers of Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep."

"You agreed to show me the bones, who wants to see the shadow..." Lin Xueer pouted.

"The bones are here." Granny Zheng pointed eeriely at the inside of Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep.

Lin Xueer stepped forward to check curiously, and sure enough, inside the two dolls, a blackened skeleton was found.

"This is the skeleton left by Zhao Jiahui and Zhao Jiahao." Granny Zheng said without mercy.

"Wow, this is really disgusting..." Lin Xueer hurriedly jumped away: "Grandma Zheng, why are you stuffing the skeleton into the doll..."

"Because the doll needs something to support it!" Granny Zheng said confidently: "There is a skeleton inside, which is more decent, and it looks like a doll from the outside. Moreover, Mr. Rabbit and Miss Sheep, but Zhao Jiahui and Zhao Jiahao are their favorite toys."

Wang Yunzhi recalled the old photos in the files, Zhao Jiahui and Zhao Jiahao did have such toys, maybe don't know how many there are, big and small.

Even knowing that the two of them are guilty, this ending still makes people feel palpitating.

"Okay, thank you for chatting with me for so long." Zhao Xinlian said with a smile: "Maybe now, it's time to say goodbye, and it's time for you to go to the next square."

"Well... I still have a few words that I want to say to Grandma Zheng." Wang Yunzhi suddenly made a strange request.

"Of course." Zhao Xinlian nodded.

"..." Granny Zheng frowned at him, wondering what the hell he was planning.

Wang Yunzhi and Granny Zheng walked to a corner of the room alone, and said in a low voice: "Grandma Zheng, I don't deny your feelings for Xinlian, you love her like a granddaughter, but sometimes you may be too strict, which will Put a lot of pressure on her."

"I'm strict? I'm doing it for her own good. Without me, would she be able to take revenge?" Granny Zheng said angrily.

"Yes... your contribution is unquestionable, but your desire to control is too strong. With Xinlian's character, she will be very distressed." Wang Yunzhi sighed, he could see that the reality would not be as pure and innocent as a fairy tale Beautiful, Granny Zheng is indeed for Xinlian, but at the same time, she is also controlling Xinlian and affecting Xinlian. If this goes on for a long time, the relationship between them will eventually collapse. No one wants to see this the result of.

"What can I do? In such a big paradise, don't I take care of everything up and down? If I'm not strict, can I take care of it?" Granny Zheng snorted, "Although I love this child, Ailian, I often feel She is too young and has a temper, she is delicate and weak, and she is also afraid of that, so what will she do if she leaves me in the future?"

"I have a suggestion..." Wang Yunzhi hesitated, but said it out.

……

Half an hour later, Wang Yunzhi took He Lin and Lin Xueer back to the basement with the iron cage, and handed a contract to Lin Tonger who was still locked in the cage.

"What is this, you sold me?" Lin Tong'er became angry immediately: "I don't obey me! Brother Yunzhi, why are you bullying me!"

"No, this is a work contract." Wang Yunzhi opened the contract and pointed it out to her patiently: "It's up to you to sign it or not. If you sign it, you can become a senior manager of the park."

"..." This condition is quite good. Lin Tong'er's eyes began to shine, and she took the contract and began to read it carefully.

"Don't worry, I've checked it, and there's nothing wrong with it." Even He Lin, who has always been cautious, felt that this contract could be considered: "Zhao Xinlian is a good boss, you will know when you meet her later."

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it so much, anyway, I have to stay here anyway, why not make some extra money?" Lin Tong'er signed her name without hesitation, and then glanced at herself through the iron cage The younger sister glanced at her: "Hehehe, Lin Xueer, I'm so envious!"

"What am I envious of..." Lin Xueer pouted.

"I'm envious that I can stay in this beautiful paradise and live happily and peacefully for the rest of my life. I can play however I want." Lin Tong'er showed a happy smile: "And what about you? You still have to go to the next cube. The next block... I don't know when, but I was killed by the checkpoint in the block! Oh, it's a pity that I can't see you die, and then I must eat cake to celebrate! Hahahahahaha..."

"..." Lin Xueer didn't know what to say, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why are you crying? You can no longer kill me with your own hands?" Lin Tong'er smiled, and reached out to wipe away her tears: "Although I still hate you, but now think about it, why did I do it to you?" What? If I could do it again, maybe I wouldn't kill you, and I wouldn't hurt your face, I should stay away from you like this now, and never see you again. "

"Idiot, do you think I will forgive you for saying something like this now?" Lin Xueer said in a crying voice.

"It doesn't matter if you don't forgive, I hope you can live longer in other cubes." Lin Tong'er said: "Okay, you guys go now."
