Strange story player

"Hello? Mr. Qin...can I go to your place first?"

Liu Jingqing dialed Qin Manjiang's phone number.

Qin Manjiang was a little hesitant, but he didn't mind helping.

But this is Qingtong Bar. If something like a curse comes to the landlady's territory, he can't afford the responsibility.

"Are you...safe?" Qin Manjiang asked.

"I have passed the level..." Liu Jingqing replied softly.

"ah?"

Only the players in this game heard Liu Jingqing's clearance reminder. Other players didn't know, so Qin Manjiang just learned the news.

He was a little surprised: "Why is the game not over yet after you have finished it?"

"I have no idea."

Qin Manjiang thought for a moment and said, "Come here, come to Qingtong Bar."

"Um……"

The night is getting darker.

In almost two hours, it will start to get light.

Once daybreak, one of the two conditions for the curse will be completed automatically, and the crowd will become denser during the day. They cannot move at all and can only hide in the dark room and wait for night to fall again.

Su Yu hesitated whether to call "Doctor".

That's right... the man who arranged for him to enter the world of ghost stories called himself "Doctor", which was really strange.

But that person's wisdom can also bear this title. If you tell him what happened at the moment, you should be able to check for the omissions and make a more complete inference.

The doctor would not be stingy with his opinions, but this time... Su Yu hesitated and chose to give up.

He did not ask the doctor for help. The former chief of Yang, the player who died on Butterfly Island, once said that the most terrifying thing is not the ghosts, but the heart that is used to relying on others.

Although Su Yu can't completely rely on the doctor, he is gradually trying to get rid of the influence of the doctor.

This is also the reason why he used permanent props almost at the beginning of the game.

Although it will cause him great pain, it is his own power and no longer has to be borrowed from others.

He stopped a car and arrived at Xinyuan Community in the eastern suburbs of Fucheng without any danger.

As soon as the car stopped, he saw Xia Nan outside the gate of the community.

After paying and getting out of the car, Su Yu's heart beat strangely faster.

He looked at Xia Nan warily.

At the gate of the community, under the dim light, Xia Nan was breathing heavily. His head was covered with sweat and he was a little out of his mind.

The doubts in Su Yu's heart became more and more intense. His keen senses were frantically reminding him that the person in front of him was in danger. However, after careful observation, he came to the conclusion that... this was indeed Xia Nan himself, and he should not be a ghost. .

Suddenly, Xia Nan at the gate of the community raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "Are you here?"

Su Yu was startled, and Xia Nan's smile seemed to instantly dispel all doubts and uneasiness.

"Well, I kept you waiting for a long time." Su Yu said.

"It doesn't matter, I just arrived." Xia Nan said while looking into the community.

"Let's go in."

"Aren't you waiting for Yue Qiuchi?" Su Yu asked.

"I told her the address, but she is almost at the other end of the city. The distance is too far. It will take at least two hours to get here." Xia Nan looked up at the night sky and whispered: "Two hours, the sky is going fast. Bright……"

Xia Nan's eyes were deep, and he didn't say anything about what he had just experienced. In fact, it was difficult for him to tell who he was at this moment.

But he truly knew that a certain part of his soul had disappeared forever, and what had just been filled in was another soul named "Li Xijiu".

And "he" is Qin Manjiang's playmate since childhood.

"Let's go, solve the mystery completely, and then tell Miss Yue the answer."

"good."

The two entered the community, and according to the address Liu Jingqing gave, Xia Nan quickly found the building.

On the third floor, there is a climbing rope hanging outside the window, which Liu Jingqing deliberately left behind.

She didn't know what happened before, so in order to leave them with complete clues, she didn't move anything before leaving.

"There are very few people around here." After arriving at the outskirts of the city, Su Yu felt much better. In the city, because his ears were too sensitive, he was surrounded by noise almost all the time.

And this community is extremely quiet.

The two of them followed the stairs to the third floor. Xia Nan found the key under the carpet at the door.

When he opened the door, he carefully observed the security door. There was no sign of any attack on the door. As expected, as he had speculated before, the curse this time had the ability to weave illusions.

"Crunch——"

The door is open, but the light is still on.

Although Liu Jingqing lives alone, the space in the house is not small. There is a living room, two rooms, a separate bathroom and kitchen, and a balcony outside the living room. The total area is almost 200 square meters.

Entering the house from the entrance, you can see that the TV cabinet in the living room is still open, leaving traces of Liu Jingqing's rummaging.

Xia Nan relayed the conversation between Liu Jingqing and herself to Su Yu exactly once, so both of them knew that the key place was her bedroom.

The two of them walked towards Liu Jingqing's bedroom one after another. The bedroom door was also open, and the open window was letting in the wind. The curtains kept flying, and there were constant sounds in the bedroom of small things being moved by the wind.

Su Yu covered his ears in discomfort. For him, these movements were too clear.

"Let's restore the previous scene in the house."

"Ms. Liu heard that the door was being torn apart by ghosts. She was very frightened. After finding the climbing rope, she came to the window."

Xia Nan walked to the window, picked up the climbing rope, and continued: "She tied herself up smoothly, and then... her feet were hanging in the air, ready to go downstairs from outside the wall."

Xia Nan perfectly restored Liu Jingqing's situation step by step. He tied himself with a climbing rope, put his feet in the air, and prepared to go down.

"The ghost opened the door, looked around the living room, and then came to the bedroom." Su Yu consciously played the role of "ghost" and walked from the living room to the door of the bedroom.

"At this time, Miss Liu was already hanging in the air. Due to the sudden fall, she tied the knot of the rope and was trapped under the window sill." Xia Nan did not tie the knot of the rope, but slipped two inches and stuck the rope. Knot, raised her head, continued: "She looked up and saw the shadow on the wall inside the window."

Su Yu followed his words and walked towards the window step by step. His shadow slowly lengthened and deformed.

He stopped just enough for Xia Nan to see his shadow. At this time, both of them were stunned.

Because...the window with no glass has become the most conspicuous thing.

The night wind came slowly, and a cold breath lingered around the two of them, as if something... was about to appear...

At this moment, Xia Nan and Su Yu also noticed... the most critical step.

"What it saw was Miss Liu's shadow?"

I'm going to be quarantined.
