Chapter 146

"What are we going to do next?" Someone asked after everyone reported their home.

No one said a word, and finally the male writer spoke up: "Have you finished the inspection on the first floor?"

The four of Ye Xu shook their heads: "I only had time to check two rooms."

"Then let's divide into two groups to check the rest. The five people whose corresponding stories have just been discovered will form a group, and the others will form a group. Do you have any opinions?" he asked.

For everyone's safety, of course, these five players who may be ghosts act together. Everyone had no objection, so they formed a team like this.

Ye Xu followed everyone to the third room. This room was nothing special, it was a bedroom that had not been used for a long time. But it doesn't look like it's the owner's house, but rather like a servant's room.

This also indirectly proves that the NPC servants here do not live in the castle.

There is a college admissions brochure in the maid's room, and there is a QR code on it, you can scan the code for more information. The male writer turned on his mobile phone and tried it. The weak signal allowed him to scan the code successfully, which was not easy.

After entering the page, it is the official website of the school, which are official announcements that are not interesting. There is a link in the corner that leads to the school's forum. The male writer moved in and clicked in.

The things in the forum are much more interesting, except that there are no necessary posts to check, there is a very hot new post on the home page. Judging from the title, it is just an ordinary selection of flowers.

"This post is not right," said the male writer, "I've noticed the time. It's summer vacation. Logically speaking, it's already past the time for the selection of general departments."

With the lecherous nature of male students, can the selection of a department be dragged on for an entire school year? One semester at most?

The male writer clicked in and took a look. Sure enough, the content of the post was not about the selection of flowers at all. The first few paragraphs were still serious comments about a few beauties in the department, and then the conversation changed and a female student was mentioned.

"...These female classmates have their own characteristics, and it is difficult to tell the winner. In contrast, the former department flower who passed away suddenly a few days ago is truly deserving of her name... The landlord is a classmate of the former department flower. , She usually treats people warmly, and she doesn't look like she has a weak psychological capacity at all. Before she suddenly jumped off the building and died, although it was said that she was under great pressure to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but I don't think so... Everyone still remember our school Top Ten Horror Rumors? One of them was Xiehua jumping off the building, the landlord always felt a little nervous, maybe it was that Xiehua's wronged soul..."

The male writer read out the key sentence, and after reading it, everyone was silent for a while. After a while, the female student said, "I am a student of this school, and I belong to this department. In the chat records on my mobile phone, they all call me the flower of the class, and some people call me the flower of the department."

If you have to say it, it can also be said that the female student was dubbed by the classmates as the department flower after the previous department flower died. But with the lessons learned from other players, everyone always felt that the previous Xianhua who committed suicide by jumping off the building was the female student.

"You said, if we die in this dungeon, in the eyes of NPCs, it will become the method of death described above? And now, we just saw our ending in advance."

No one can say this, but judging from the current situation, it is estimated that ten players have corresponding death stories. Then, this possibility is very high.

"But why did the copy let us know these stories in advance?" someone asked.

This is not known.

Ye Xu thought for a while and said, "Then remember the five locked rooms on each floor? I think those rooms might be the rooms where the deceased lived in the story. We are so similar to the deceased, have you ever imagined that? A similar story?"

"what story?"

"The story of twins." Ye Xuyan introduced concisely, "I read a ghost story before, it said that there is a kind of ghost that will become exactly like you and approach you and become your good friend. Then it slows down. Slowly intervene in your life, and get closer and closer to your relatives and friends."

"Gradually people will start ignoring you, or even unaware of your existence. Then, people around you will start not being able to distinguish you from it, and even gradually mistake it for you. Wait until it completely replaces yours. At that time, she will occupy your identity and become a person, and you will become a ghost."

"If you want to become human again, you have to repeat the old way. Go find the next unlucky person and replace that person. We are so similar to the people in the story, it may not be the so-called castle owner who is looking for the same person to kill. It's the ten ghosts in the castle looking for a scapegoat."

This ancient castle may have no owner for a long time. It has only ten ghosts at its disposal, and the ghosts use various names to attract people with the same characteristics, kill them, and replace them.

The female student was horrified: "Isn't this just like the water ghost who has to drag a person into the water to kill him before he can be reincarnated?"

"Yeah, it's almost the same." The male writer frowned slightly, "I've heard this story before, but I didn't think of it before. Listening to what you said, I think it's very likely. Whether the ghost wants to replace us or kill us It's not a good thing for us to be a scapegoat so that we can reincarnate ourselves."

However, this also gave everyone a wake-up call. It is very likely that each person has only one corresponding ghost to deal with, and the other ghosts are too lazy to deal with the person who is not their counterpart. And once someone dies, the number of ghosts that are still active will decrease accordingly.

This guess is more reliable, and the probability is about 80%.

Nothing else could be found in the servant's room, and everyone moved to the next room. Before dark, they rummaged through all the rooms on the first floor and really came up with ten stories.

Now, let's not say who is dangerous. Even if the players are really mixed up, everyone is equally suspect. After everyone finished their dinner in silence, they agreed to lift the locked rooms on the second and third floors tomorrow and go in to have a look.

If there are things corresponding to each player and the deceased in these rooms, such as a painter in one room, a writer in another, etc., then it can confirm Ye Xu's guess that the room was the deceased. In the same way, the inference about finding a surrogate later is more reliable.

But the premise is that you can survive tonight. They only have to survive the third night here, but every night is expected to be thrilling.

After taking a shower with cold water at will, Ye Xu sat on the edge of the bed.

It's definitely not peaceful tonight, even if the Awakened doesn't come to him, there will be screams from next door disturbing the people. Ye Xu felt that he should not be in a hurry to sleep. After confirming that the ghosts will be soundproofed when they move, he will consider the issue of sleep. Otherwise, if you wake up in the middle of the night, you will be really irritable.

Ye Xu simply turned on the Awakener system and started browsing the forum.

Recently, a word game is popular in the forum. The landlord who has nothing to do will send a description of the plot, and then give you a few options. Continue to develop the plot and provide options based on the choice of the first replyer.

A group of people had a lot of fun, and even fewer people played games.

It is said that this type of post emerged after the last rally mission, which was to play multiple-choice questions. But since then, there has never been a copy of the selection type. Many Awakeners who like this kind of gameplay are really panicked, so they have to open a post to enjoy it.

Ye Xu flipped through a few posts and found that they were all unfinished. After "urging" the landlord to follow the trend, he glanced at the time, it was enough for him to play the game, and he was about to close the forum to play the game.

At this moment, the light suddenly went out.

Ye Xu: "..."

So does he turn on the flashlight or not? If you see something scary, you will be frightened; if you don’t have a meeting to make up for scary things, you will still be frightened.

So he hates turning off the lights the most. Do ghosts have a grudge against the lights? Why do they like turning off the lights so much?

Before Ye Xu struggled to be ugly, he suddenly heard a rustling voice. It seemed that something had crawled out of a crack in the wall and was approaching him.

Ye Xu paused, took out a flashlight, and snapped a picture at the place where the sound was made.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still startled by the ghost crawling on the ground. That ghost was wearing exactly the same clothes as Ye Xu, and even looked exactly the same. Except for the pale face and bloody forehead, it was a replica of Ye Xu.

Ye Xu suddenly groaned: "Do you want to be so dedicated? Why do you even borrow your face? I still want to continue using this face in the next game. How can you make me look directly at it when you play this game? When I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw this face in the mirror, I must have startled myself!"

Awakened person pretending to be a ghost: "..."

No, big brother, why are you looking in the mirror in the middle of the night? This is a horror escape game, isn't it scaring to look in the mirror in the middle of the night?

"Didn't you say you shouldn't 'cannibalism'? Why do you still come here to disturb my sleep?" Ye Xu, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Now, he looked at the ghost helplessly, "Let's discuss, can I sleep well at night? There are so many players, it's not good to scare anyone, you have to catch me."

I saw the ghost get up with a grunt, and roughly wiped the blood that had flowed down and affected his sight with his sleeve. He sat down beside Ye Xu carelessly and sighed faintly.

"Isn't there no way?" The Awakened patted the dust that he had just crawled on the ground, "A ghost corresponds to a player, but I want to do something to others, but I can't grab other people's prey."

Ye Xu was silent for a while, and said, "Then you just don't do it, just scare the other party. It's like a dark ghost. If you scare someone when you see a single person without encountering a ghost, it's not a business, right? "

"What you said makes sense." The Awakened suddenly realized, patted Ye Xu on the shoulder gratefully, and praised Ye Xu several times with a good look of the two brothers.

But because everyone is busy at the moment, this ghost can't find any leaks. So he simply stayed and chatted with Ye Xu, and when the others left, he would scare him a second time.

So, Ye Xu just sat in a row with the ghosts, put a flashlight in the middle, and started chatting. If anyone sees it, I'm afraid it will give me a heart attack.

It was as if the living Ye Xu was chatting with the dead Ye Xu, and the scene was extremely strange. Only someone with a big heart like Ye Xu would quickly ignore the same face as himself and still chat happily.
