The arrival of Mr. Xiao made the situation take a sudden turn for the worse.

Ah Hong couldn't wait to run away wiping his tears, and he fled in a panic like a group of perverts with hungry green eyes behind him.

Cui Zi and Shi Qing were carried away by someone called by Elder Xiao, leaving only Elder Xiao summoned a group of strong men to block Jian Wen and the others in the warehouse, looking like they were going through three trials.

"Did Cui Zi and Shi Qing be knocked out by you?"

"What do you want to do to Ah Hong?"

"What are your intentions?"

Jian Wenan lay down on the ground and pretended to be asleep: I'm dizzy, I didn't hear anything.

Tao Xingchen: "Hey, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything... I must have been poisoned and stupid..."

Mr. Xiao took a deep breath, and took another deep breath. Huo Sheng saw the knuckles of the other party's knuckles turning white while leaning on the cane, so he could imagine how much effort he had used.

Ren Xichen: "Ah, I just can't help it!"

Old Xiao: "Why can't you help yourself?"

Ren Xichen blinked secretly, and then took a special look at Jian Wen. Seeing that Jian Wen was still pretending to be dizzy, he deliberately said, "I'll tell you a secret. In fact, I, Jian Wen, like men~"

Old Xiao: ...

"Oh, I just fell in love with Ah Hong at first sight, and I just want to find a chance to confess my love to him~" Ren Xichen twitched and raised her orchid finger, twisting the corner of her clothes like a shy girl.

Huo Sheng:......

What should I do if I want to kill Ren Xichen so much?

However, Mr. Xiao is not so easy to fool: "You just came to the compound. Today is the first time I saw Ah Hong in the warehouse. Where did you fall in love at first sight? You haven't seen Ah Hong before, how do you know he is here?"

Ren Xichen was stuck, and he looked at Tao Xingchen in disbelief: How could this guy be believed when he made up a lie and peeped at a man taking a shower, and was suspected when he said he fell in love with a man at first sight?

Could it be that his graduation certificate from the Central Drama Academy was unqualified?

Old Xiao said coldly: "Tell me, what do you want to do with Cui Zi and Shi Qing to the warehouse, to steal something after losing money in a bet?"

Ren Xichen's face became embarrassing. He never thought that with his suave manner, he would be suspected of being a thief one day!

Even suspecting that he is a flower picker is more romantic than a thief!

Huo Sheng looked at Elder Xiao's face invisibly, and found that the other party's behavior was completely like a local NPC, whether it was lines or actions, it fit the character of "Old Xiao".

So is this "Old Xiao" really not the old player from the previous round?

But the similarity is too great.

If it's really the same person, then this acting from the inside out is simply a master at the instructor level of the Drama University.

Xiao Lao said again: "If you don't tell me, where did you come from, I can only let Shi Lao take you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a young NPC rushed in from outside in a panic.

"Old Xiao, someone broke into the ancestral hall!"

Jian Wen's ears twitched, Ren Xichen looked at Le in surprise, the two of them broke into the ancestral hall to set off fireworks yesterday, but who broke into the ancestral hall in front of them today?

The dialogue and situations of NPC are fixed, and it must be the player who can break the cycle unexpectedly.

What popped up in Jian Wen's mind was the picture of Dong Kui leading Brother Hao and the others out from the direction of the corner gate.Dongkui and the others must have not just gone to the warehouse after delaying for so long.

The word "ancestral hall" touched Lao Xiao's nerves, and he was serious with suppressed anger: "Who is it? Have you caught someone?"

"That group of outsiders." The young NPC rolled his eyes at Ren Xichen openly and angrily, with strong contempt and rejection of outsiders.

"I caught a few. They broke into the ancestral hall and knocked down many ancestors' tablets. The movement was too big and we rushed over in time to catch them."

Old Xiao: "Go and have a look."

"Don't think that I will forget what happened today, just take care of yourself. I'm not a good old man like Shi Lao."

Even when he was leaving, Elder Xiao did not forget to warn Ren Xichen and these "thieves".

Ren Xichen: ......

Today he has the worst blame, is it Mercury retrograde?Why is he the only one who is the most suspicious of the two?

Xiao Lao naturally didn't take his mood into consideration, and came with a group of apprentices aggressively, and then left aggressively.

Before the last person left, he deliberately drove all four players out of the warehouse and locked the door. When he saw Jian Wen still lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, he snorted and kicked him.

Ren Xichen's eyes sparkled: Work harder!try harder!Kick this showman to death!

But Huo Sheng was still there, how could he let the NPC succeed? He stretched out his long legs to block the NPC's legs, causing the NPC's expression to twist, and hit the pillar backwards, sucking in air.

"I'll do it, don't bother you."

Huo Sheng picked up Jian Wen horizontally, with a posture of a guardian, and calmly carried Jian Wen out of the warehouse.

The NPC looked at the back with a strange expression. After seeing the four people leave, he cursed: "Damn, it can't be really a rabbit, right? Weird."

When Ren Xichen heard the words, he looked back and winked: "Of course, I already said that Jian Wen likes men."

NPC:? ? ?

......

Huo Sheng ignored Ren Xichen's acting as a demon, he did a full set of plays, he kept carrying Jian Wen back to their original room.

Just as Jian Wen was placed on the kang, there was a knock on the door.

Tao Xingchen, who was walking at the back, went to open the door, but was surprised to find that it was Du Fei and Dong Kui.

"Brother Hao and the others have been arrested." Du Fei said in a deep tone, "The player who played the yellow ghost is dead."

Jian Wen stopped pretending to be dizzy and sat up.

"Come in and talk."

Du Fei brought Dong Kui in and locked the door behind his back.

When Jian Wen and the others went to the warehouse again, Du Fei was looking for the executioner in the compound.

She also remembered that when the Nuo opera troupe set off, they did not have the role of executioner, and they did not know when they came on stage.But as a dangerous NPC that can directly harm the player, it deserves her attention, so she deliberately looked for an actor NPC in the compound that was similar in shape to the executioner.

It was during this process that she found out about Brother Hao and the others.

"Brother Hao and Fang Fang coincidentally, they are fellow villagers, and they have known each other since childhood. Before Fang Fang listened to Brother Hao's words and did not resist, he went to be a big ghost, but was killed. Brother Hao felt guilty and took other players to find the former The location of the clue given by Dongkui."

Dong Kui nodded weakly: "Actually, I woke up earlier, and I followed you to the inner courtyard when I woke up. I saw it...so I took Brother Hao and the others as rewards, and took them to the inner courtyard as well." hospital......"

Jian Wen was surprised: "You followed me? I didn't notice at all?!"

Ren Xichen's brows and eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak after thinking about it.

Dong Kui touched her head guiltyly: "Hey, I have a prop, which is very useful in this respect."

Du Fei was afraid that they would blame Dong Kui, so he interrupted: "These are not the main points, Dong Kui is greedy for money and likes to do small business in the game, and he won't really seek money and kill himself."

Having said that, who knows what will happen to the damage done indirectly.

Jian Wen secretly warned himself that he had to be more vigilant in the future. He also had a devil mask that could assimilate the breath of ghosts and ghosts. Remember to use it when you need to sneak in the future.

Du Fei exchanged some more information, saying that Brother Hao and the others imitated Jian Wen's practice of setting off fireworks with masked ghosts, but because of hatred, they made too much noise and almost set the ancestral hall on fire. I was shocked, went in and blocked it, and now they are all arrested.

In the end, Du Fei concluded: "It is very likely that Brother Hao will play the role of the big ghost today. If he is also beheaded, then we will not have much time. No one knows who the NPC will choose to be the big ghost next time the plot repeats." ghost."

The forced sleep is so terrible that players don't even have a chance to get close to the execution platform to resist the executioner.

After the forced sleep, all the NPCs were refreshed and restarted, from the weird appearance of neither human nor ghost to normal people, but the beheaded player equation was completely dead.

As Du Fei said, no one can guarantee whether the NPC will pick him or not the next time the plot repeats.

Duffy is interested in working with them, exchanging information and thinking about how to break the cycle.

But this is not something that can be achieved in a short while. It is just a temporary alliance and they will exchange news. Then Du Fei left with Dongkui.

"By the way, why didn't he find you?"

After Du Fei left, Jian Wen suddenly remembered an important thing.

From the beginning to the end, Dongkui didn't say that he saw Ren Xichen, but only said that he followed Jian Wen and saw how Jian Wen dealt with the masked ghost.

Ren Xichen smiled "hehe" and said, "Guess."

Jian Wen: "Invisibility Talisman?"

This is the method Ren Xichen used.

But thinking about it again, something is wrong, Ren Xichen used the invisibility talisman, and he is useless, so he should not be able to see Ren Xichen, why Dongkui can't see it, but she can see it?

You can also see masked ghosts.

It was as if Dong Kui, who was following secretly, was deliberately blocked.

Jian Wen took a deep look at Ren Xichen, becoming more and more curious about his mystery.

"I have a lot of little secrets, and I only tell the people next to me." Ren Xichen looked into Jian Wen's eyes, and leaned over to whisper in his ear with great interest, "Do you want to hear my bedtime story?"

Jian Wen was expressionless: "I don't want to, get out."

Staying with a psychopath for a long time will also become a neuropathy, and he doesn't want to be assimilated.

Ren Xichen pretended to cry: "Hey, you are so cold and heartless."

Huo Sheng: Well done!

.......

Because they didn't go to the ancestral hall, Jian Wen and the others stayed in the compound to observe the preparations of Shi Lao and others more intuitively.According to the previous procedure, when it was zero o'clock, the sky darkened, Shi Lao spoke and prepared to set off.

And the knock on the door came as expected.

Jian Wen whispered: "The faceless ghost is here, hurry up, Ren Xichen, your client is here, go sell the film."

Ren Xichen smiled: "Your customers are here too, hurry up and sell wigs."

The two looked at each other and smiled, raising their eyebrows provocatively: Come on, hurt each other.

In this provocative effort, the NPC standing at the back went to open the door by himself, and then there was no horror in the surprised voice, only disgust.

"Old Shi, there are ghouls!"

Ghoul?

Is this a ghost they are familiar with?

Shi Lao walked over calmly: "Are you coming again?"

Old Xiao said coldly: "It must have been attracted by the fireworks. Those outsiders are really messing around."

Can setting off fireworks attract ghosts?What kind of ghost is this?

Jian Wen recalled the books he had read in his heart. He remembered that a hungry ghost could spew flames from his mouth after death, and all food would be turned into flames as soon as it came close to his mouth, so he was always hungry.And only when temples, Taoist temples, etc. put out flames, is when they are full.

But he remembered clearly that the faceless ghost outside the door was not at all similar to a hungry ghost.

Not to mention the appearance, if it is really a hungry ghost, what it wants is not a face, but a food offering.

An apprentice beside Mr. Shi skillfully ordered: "Where are the firecrackers? Hurry up and set off the firecrackers, and bring a lighter."

A group of people operated in an orderly manner. Players who had experienced the same plot once watched with cold eyes, wanting to see how the NPCs deal with the faceless ghosts outside.

A group of people held a long hanging firecrackers and calmly walked out the door. Their unflappable attitude seemed to be chasing away a wild dog. Jian Wen couldn't help but reflect that he had blocked the door to prevent the NPCs from seeing it. Is it too much of a fuss?

"Crackling" and "crackling", the sound of firecrackers shook the sky, and the local NPC set off firecrackers in an unexpected way for the players, and easily drove away the faceless ghost.

Jian Wen asked in disbelief: "Could it be that this is the legendary Nian beast?"

What is the most famous fear of firecrackers, not the Nian Beast?

The faceless ghost was chased away in such an easy and effortless way, Jian Wen was stunned for a few seconds and didn't recover for a while.

"Old Shi is not well, the big ghost is sick!"

As soon as the faceless ghost left, the established plot happened again.

Jian Wen's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the player's formula that died playing the big ghost before.

After several conversations, Elder Xiao named Brother Hao.

At this time, Brother Hao was brought up with his hands tied behind his back, and his makeup and clothes had already been changed.

Another difference.

The players who act as big ghosts are different, and the order of changing makeup is different.

Jian Wen looked at Brother Hao and saw that his expression was calm, not like the impulsive anger of being caught for revenge.

Was he really arrested for revenge?

He looked at the other people brought by Brother Hao, and they were also made up as cameos, but everyone was calm and silently let the NPCs arrange them, without any sense of resistance and escape, and they were still secretly exchanging eyes .

"There is something wrong with those players." Huo Sheng also whispered, "They must have a plan. Look at the position they are standing now, so that they can echo back and forth to take care of their companions. This is a premeditated arrest."

Jian Wen suddenly realized that, sure enough, intermediate players in intermediate games are not so simple to be easily arrested by the entire NPC army.

With this incident, Jian Wen kept a low profile for the rest of the journey, quietly observing Brother Hao and the others at the front, hoping to see what they were planning and whether they had any new clues.

As he walked, shadowy ghosts reappeared on the ground, and the shadow ghost of the familiar little ghost rushed to Jian Wen's side and hugged his shadow's legs, allowing him to actually be hugged when he was walking. Thigh heaviness.

Jian Wen didn't bother to pay attention to him. After seeing the NPCs in front of the execution platform going crazy, he kept wondering if their going crazy would have an effect on the shadow ghosts that merged into the NPC's shadow. If they were separated, would it stop the NPCs from going crazy? , won't stop the player from going to the execution stage to save people?

Unwilling to be ignored by Jian Wen, the shadow kid stuck out his tongue and hooked Jian Wen's tongue. Jian Wen stared fiercely, and suddenly a test paper appeared in his hand and slapped his tongue away.

Jane asked sharply: "Student, have you finished memorizing the textbook? Have you mastered the knowledge points? Have you finished your homework?"

The shadow kid was a little confused: He was so unlucky that he hugged a teacher as soon as he hugged his legs?

Jian Wen unfolded the heavy test paper in his hand. It was an extra test paper for the mid-term exam that he had prepared for the college students in his class. It was originally about art theory, but the kid couldn't understand it anyway, so it was enough to scare people.

Looking at the densely packed questions on the thick test paper, the shadow kid once again remembered the terrible life that was manipulated by the test before he was alive, and couldn't help pulling his tongue back.

Jian Wen solemnly picked up the posture of the invigilator at the end of the term: "Seeing that you have finished your review, come to the exam. Come on, start the timer now, first do test one, and then test two, three, four, five...  ..."

Aw, can't you escape the shadow of the exam after death? !

The shadow imp turned around and left.

Jian Wen enthusiastically raised the test paper in his hand: "Student, you forgot your test paper! You can take it home and write it!"

The shadow kid jumped into the group of ghost shadows and ran away. The speed was faster than when Jian Wen threw his eyeballs to look for them.

The other shadow ghosts attracted attention again. Eyeballs and mouths appeared on the black shadow's face. This time, there was no murderous look or attack. It seemed that they could still have the basic ability to distinguish right from wrong. When they saw little ghosts being bullied, they would attack. Seeing that the little ghost was running by himself, he watched.

Jian Wen pondered for a while, and felt relieved seeing that the shadow ghosts did not attack indiscriminately.

He flipped through the test paper in his hand and recalled the teacher's speech during the parent-teacher meeting.

"Come on, are you all parents? Do you all have children? Let's talk about what to do if your child doesn't like to study, what to do when your child is rebellious in youth, what to do when your child falls in love early and has Internet addiction, what to do when your child keeps talking back to parents... ..."

The shadow ghosts listened very seriously, and the female shadow ghost who harassed Huo Sheng stopped touching Huo Sheng's shadow's butt, and moved closer to Jian Wen to touch his face.

Jian Wen calmly pushed away the shadow female ghost: "If you study hard, you will know that it is illegal for a woman to sexually harass a man, just like a man to sexually harass a woman. The definition of a pervert is gender-neutral."

The female shadow ghost withdrew her hand with a "whoosh".

"But if you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There's nothing good about it." Jian Wen softened her tone, and began to teach the shadow ghosts a lesson in a low voice.

"Don't think that you don't need to learn if you become a ghost. If you don't learn and see Taoist priests come to catch ghosts, how do you know if you are a liar? Should you run away early? If you don't learn, how can you recognize that the talismans in Taoist priests' hands are genuine?" Or is it a fake?"

"It's the same as becoming a ghost. Some are fierce ghosts. They can absorb the power of others and become stronger, while some can only be suppressed and enslaved. This is the difference in power caused by different levels of knowledge!"

The shadow ghosts nodded thoughtfully, their bloody eyeballs revealed the light of seeking knowledge, they listened extremely seriously, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Ren Xichen said in a low voice: "Suddenly suspecting that I didn't choose a good career, I didn't expect the teacher to be so foolish."

Huo Sheng stared at him coldly: "Shut up, don't make noise, he is in class."

Ren Xichen: ...God damn class, which player's way of getting along with ghosts makes it look like a brainwashing pyramid scheme...

Tao Xingchen nodded again and again, and said in an admiring tone: "It seems that my skill is really not enough..."

Ren Xichen: ...It's over, even my own people have been brainwashed, it's terrible...

The more Jian Wen talked, the more enthusiastic she became: "Beauty ghosts need to study hard, learn cosmetology and collocation, and learn how to shape, so that they can know how to stay young forever, and their beauty is not old..."

The shadow female ghost touched her face narcissistically, and nodded in approval.

Jian Wen: "Handsome ghosts need to study hard, learn emotional intelligence management and warm-hearted men's skills, so that they can learn to hook up with female ghost sisters, and become the public lover of the ghost world..."

The shadow male ghost grinned, and looked at the female ghosts on the left and right, from this moment his ambition spontaneously arose.

Before he was alive, he had no advantages in appearance and career. He was single for most of his life. Now that everyone is dead, they have all turned into a black shadow. There is no difference between appearance and career. He must study hard and strive to become the heart of every shadow female ghost ghost!

Jian Wen: "Grandpas, grandmas and ghosts also need to study hard so that they can prolong their lives and live for a long time..."

The old shadow ghosts with hunched bodies and necks nodded again and again. After death, they finally did not feel the weakness and pain of illness, which was a blessing in disguise.With no disease and light body, they now want to live longer.

With the advantage of being a university teacher, Jian Wen held the audience without firing a single shot, leaving Ren Xichen and others amazed.

Huo Sheng had a sense of pride, and secretly gave Jian Wen a thumbs up.

Great!

Jian Wen smiled wryly: At this moment, he felt like a marketing lecturer hired by those Sanwu product companies who went to the countryside to deceive the elderly.

And he didn't just lie to the elderly, he lied to the whole family, from old to young, neat and tidy, not a few.

Jian Wen's lips were dry all the way, and he fell behind unknowingly, and walked to the end of the Nuo opera team.

When he heard Brother Hao's roar: "Do it!"

Only then did he see that Brother Hao had been tied to the execution platform, and before he even knelt down, he turned around and kicked the knife from the executioner's hand away, and then his companions jumped at the direction of the execution platform under the call of Brother Hao. past.

Brother Hao pointed at the executioner: "I want you to pay for my brother's life!"

Wearing a painted wooden mask, the executioner raised his head, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed it hard on the back of his hand.

Brother Hao was slightly taken aback by this action, and in this dazed effort, the blood on the back of the executioner's hand dripped on the ground, and a bloody light flashed on the execution platform.

King Yama threw down a command arrow: "Behead!"

The arrow didn't hit the ground, but flew straight towards Brother Hao's neck, pierced through his neck, and landed on the ground of the execution platform.

"Brother Hao!" Brother Hao's companion yelled sadly.

Brother Hao looked at the sky blankly, his legs gave way, he knelt down on the ground, then fell forward, and fell on the ground of the execution platform.

The pierced blood hole in his neck gushed out blood, and once again filled the entire execution platform, his whole body was drained of blood and became more and more dry.

The NPC next to him went mad again, bursts of stench came to his face, accompanied by the stench, and strong drowsiness...

When Jian Wen woke up from the darkness again, Jian Wen was very excited.

"After wasting so much of my saliva, I'm still forced to sleep!"

Return to original shape overnight.

He obviously successfully prevented the shadow ghosts from sneaking into the shadows of players and NPCs. The shadow ghosts were obsessed with listening to lectures, and they fled around as if they were frightened when things happened. They were more innocent and pitiful than them.

But he failed to stop the crazy mutation of the NPC, and he also failed to stop the final execution, and another player, Brother Hao, died.

Thinking of Brother Hao's slogan of revenge for Fang Fang, and the scene where he sacrificed himself and tried to kill the executioner but failed, Jian Wen closed his eyes fiercely.

Another player died...

"I'm salted." Jian Wen lay mournfully on the kang, motionless, "What do you think will happen if we just sleep through this one?"

"Perhaps, we couldn't wait until the execution ground." Huo Sheng remained calm and analyzed rationally, "Look, it's useless for you to hold back those shadow ghosts. When they arrived at the execution ground, those actor NPCs still went crazy and turned into ghosts. "

"Maybe they're not human at all. Beheading at the execution ground is just a trigger, and shadow ghosts are different things."

Three cobblers are worth Zhuge Liang, and Ren Xichen also put forward his own opinion: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the cemetery?"

Tao Xingchen said: "Try it this time, hold back the Nuo troupe and avoid going to the execution ground."

Jane Wen: "Okay..."

The salted fish is still a salted fish. Jian Wen is very mournful now, even a little violent, and wants to knock all the NPCs out, so that the Nuo drama cannot be performed normally.

Of course, it's only limited to thinking about it. After all, the gap in numbers is too big, and no one knows whether the ghosts inside and outside Stone Village will run away after all the NPCs are knocked out. At that time, they will have to face another attack. .

After re-making the plan, Jian Wen jumped up: "Go, do it!"

"This time, let's knock Old Xiao out!"
