    Chapter 108 False Response

    Generous sharing of leads inside the door is not a good thing, at least for the lead owner.

    Because once the clue is shared, it exposes its own strength and attracts everyone's attention. The higher the door, the more so.

    The further back, the more difficult it is to obtain clues, so after the clues are disclosed, they are likely to become targets, be guarded against by everyone, and may even be calculated.

    And if it weren't for a special situation, no one would want to share with others the clues they had worked so hard to get.

    But this door is obviously special, because if they don't tell others the rules of the game, it means that the dead people will become box people and make it more difficult for them to escape.

    "Are we going to tell them?" Lin Qiushi said, "Will it make any difference to say it directly?"

    "It's natural to say it." Ruan Nanzhu was not in a hurry after hearing the cry. "But don't be too hasty, they are all human beings. Even if we say everything, they may not believe it."

    When the three of them spoke, they returned to the entrance where they were just now, and saw that someone had opened a box in the corner of the entrance. There was something like a stethoscope in the box, and someone took it out and was looking down at it. It was a prop that could be used by humans in the Box Girl game. Lin Qiushi remembered that he did not expect someone with such good luck to open the prop directly.

    "Who was calling just now?" Liang Miye glanced at the stethoscope and moved his eyes to other places.

    "It's me..." a little girl whispered, "I was going to the kitchen with them just now, and I saw something else in the crack of the door. Well, it seemed to be a little girl in a skirt. I couldn't control it. called out."

    This little girl looked like a newcomer, trembling and inexperienced.

    When the other old people heard what she said, their expressions were all very subtle. They wanted to stay as far away from those things as possible, so only the newbies would foolishly go up and give them away.

    Lin Qiushi took the opportunity to observe the surroundings, and simply calculated the ratio of the number of new people to the elderly.

    Among the twenty-three people, at least four of the group of seven are newcomers, and they can even see the look of confusion and confusion on their faces.

    Apart from the group of seven, there should also be some newcomers among the remaining sixteen, that is to say, there are even more than one newcomer in this door. Therefore, the number of new people is between eleven and twelve, and the number of old people is divided by half.

    In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand why someone would do such a thing that takes someone else's life seriously.

    Death conditions are limited, try one out, and you can avoid one. And taking other people's lives to try can be said to be the easiest way.

    "Can you guys not open the boxes casually?" Some of the veterans couldn't bear to see how these newcomers were messing around, "Look at these boxes everywhere, they must have a special effect, you are such a mess. There's bound to be an accident!"

    "What could have happened!" It was a young man who opened the stethoscope, but he was very courageous and had a bad attitude. He said carelessly, "Isn't this okay?"

    "It's fine now, maybe later." The person who asked the question seemed to be named Sun Yuanzhou, he turned his head coldly, and said to the leader of the new team, "Can't you take care of the people you brought in? "

    The one who brought in several newcomers this time was a middle-aged man named Wei Xiude. He was average in appearance. From the outside, he was very amiable, but he was able to bring in so many newcomers. Obviously, this man is not what a good thing.

    "Okay, okay." Wei Xiude said it nicely, "I'll take care of them, Xiao Ji, don't open the box again, if something goes wrong, it's not good, the door is dangerous."

    "What can happen." The young man named Xiao Ji was very impatient, "You are just too timid, there is no profit without risk..."

    As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to open the next box.

    "Wait." Lin Qiushi stopped.

    Xiaoji naturally wouldn't listen to Lin Qiushi's words. He opened two boxes in one breath. Fortunately, he was lucky. One box had a piece of paper, and the other box was empty.

    "What is this?" Xiao Ji picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and read out the words on it, "False response..." There seemed to be only four words on the card, and there was no other information, he spat, "What is it?" He put the piece of paper on the table.

    "Don't open it." Ruan Nanzhu saw that he was not about to end and planned to continue, and finally opened his mouth, "If I guessed correctly, this should be a board game I played, called Box Girl, If you open the box like this, you will really open dirty things."

    As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ji's movements finally stopped, and he said, "What? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

    Ruan Nanzhu spread his hands: "You move so fast, how can I have time."

    Because of Ruan Nanzhu's words, everyone in the room turned their attention to him. There were excitement, doubts, and questions in these eyes.

    "You said we are playing a game now? Have you ever played that game?" Sun Yuanzhou grasped the point.

    "I've played it a few times." Ruan Nanzhu sat down on the sofa and leaned against the sofa, "I was not very sure when I just entered the room, so I went upstairs to look at the key props, and now I can be sure that this is the board game."

    Everyone gathered around and began to wait for his next words.

    Ruan Nanzhu briefly introduced the rules and reiterated that there are ghosts in the box. If you open it casually, it is very likely that the ghosts will be released, and the humans who are taken away by the ghosts will become the boxers and continue to harm the living humans.

    Ruan Nanzhu did not hide the rules, but described them all in detail, and answered many people's questions. However, as expected by Ruan Nanzhu, although he showed a sincere attitude, the veterans did not believe everything he said.

    "According to what you mean, we won't open the box?" Someone in the crowd asked Ruan Nanzhu, "Don't you mean that if we don't open the box, nothing will happen? You say The safe password is four digits, and although there are 10,000 combinations, as long as we spend more time trying, we will always try it!"

    Ruan Nanzhu spread his hands: "I'm just talking about the rules of the game I've played, not the rules here. There will definitely be changes, but I don't know what the changes are."

    "How many boxes are there in this room? Let's count them first." A little girl opened her mouth. She seemed to be young, but she was already very experienced. "My name is Yin Xinyi. It's a pleasure to work with." She said to Ruan. Nanzhu stretched out his hand.

    Ruan Nanzhu held her hand: "My name is Zhu Meng."

    "On the first day of the box girl, she will cry once." Ruan Nanzhu said, "The place where she is crying is where she is. After that, she can only cry when she wants to acquire skills..."

    "Skill?" Yin Xinyi asked.

    "Yes, he has already developed a skill." Ruan Nanzhu pointed at Xiao Ji, "a false response."

    There was a loud noise in the crowd, and many people began to ask what this meant.

    "In board games, this is a skill of Box Girl." Ruan Nanzhu said, "It means that players who play Box Girl can lie."

    Yin Xinyi said, "Liar? Could she still answer our questions?"

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Reality can be answered. As for the derivative effect of this skill here, I don't know."

    "Let's rest today." Sun Yuanzhou's personality is relatively strong, and he dominates the crowd. "It's already past ten o'clock. It's easy to get into trouble at night. I'll discuss this matter in detail tomorrow."

    "Okay." Most people agreed with Sun Yuanzhou's proposal.

    Then everyone started to allocate rooms.

    The bungalow has a total of three floors. The first floor is a functional house, such as a kitchen. Most of the second and third floors are bedrooms. There are study rooms and toilets next to the bedrooms. There is also a huge balcony, but the balcony has been cemented. died.

    There is no rule that only a few people can live in the house, but most of them are two or three people, and the same is true for Lin Qiushi and the others.

    After nightfall, the bungalow became extremely dark.

    The steel plates nailed to the windows blocked most of the sunlight, and the thick curtains acted like a curtain, blocking the last light source as well. The lights in the corridor are dark red, and all the places are like a dark room, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

    There were also many boxes in the room where Lin Qiushi and the others were resting.

    They made a rough count just now. There are at least two hundred wooden boxes in the whole house. Each wooden box is about half a meter high. They are neatly placed in every corner of the house. It is difficult for people to ignore them. The presence.

    But in such a box, there may be a little girl with a twisted body, and the thought of this makes people not want to take another look.

    After the three of them washed up, they all went to bed. Ruan Nanzhu slept on the bed beside the wall, and when he turned his head, he could see the dense wooden boxes.

    The three of them discussed something before going to bed.

    "What will happen if I don't open the box all the time." Liang Miye said, "If everyone doesn't open it, won't people die?"

    "How can there be such a good thing." Ruan Nanzhu said, "There will definitely be restrictions on us inside the door." It's just that we don't know yet what the restrictions are.

    The door would not allow them to waste time unconditionally inside, unless... there was only one person left in the door.

    "What kind of restriction is that?" Liang Miye said, "But it's fine if there is a restriction, otherwise you'll be relying on others to take the test."

    Every time you open the box, it's a gamble, and no one knows what will come out.

    Ruan Nanzhu hummed.

    Lin Qiushi's attention was also on the wooden boxes, but he was thinking of the stethoscope that the man took away during the day. The stethoscope is also a prop, but it can only be used once a day. The stethoscope can determine whether the box girl is in the wooden box. If the box girl is inside, you can hear a small sound from the stethoscope.

    This is a very important prop, but now it is in the hands of others.

    Ah, this is really a game of luck, Lin Qiushi thought, as a person who has never won a lottery ticket for five dollars, his luck is really not very good.

    Besides, they can't afford to gamble with luck.

    After nightfall, Lin Qiushi couldn't sleep too soundly. About three in the morning, a shrill scream rang out from downstairs, waking everyone up from their dreams.

    Lin Qiushi woke up instantly, opened his eyes and met Ruan Nanzhu's.

    "Someone has an accident?" Lin Qiushi asked.

    "Well." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Go, go down and have a look."

    Liang Miye also woke up, she said, "Is it the second floor? Could it be that someone thought he was too hard to open the box again?" Ruan Nanzhu had already made it clear enough during the day, if this is the case Next, there are people who insist on taking their own lives to open the box, and Liang Miye has nothing to say.

    But the trouble with newcomers is their uncertainty. Under the weight of fear, no one knows how badly they will behave.

    The cries were continuous, and when they reached the second floor, they could still hear the sound coming from the door panel.

    "Ah, ah, it hurts, help, help, ah-" The miserable cry made one's hair horrified. At this time, there were several people standing at the door. Lin Qiushi glanced and found that they were all veterans, and Sun Yuanzhou was among them. He pushed the door open and said, "It's locked, I'll go get the tools."

    "No, I'll do it." Ruan Nanzhu walked slowly to the door and began to lower his head to unlock it.

    Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and after a while, the lock was opened, and everything in the house appeared in front of them.

    There was no one in the house. The cries came from a wooden box. Not only did cries come from the wooden box, but there was also a thumping sound, as if the people inside wanted to get out of the wooden box. It seems to come out.

    "Help me, save me, I don't want to die..." The closer he got, the more creepy the voice became.

    "Who lives in this house?" Ruan Nanzhu asked. When he spoke, he looked at a wooden box next to the box, "They opened the wooden box."

    "Fuck." Sun Yuanzhou seemed a little angry, turned around angrily, went directly to the next room, and called the people inside, "Wei Xiude, get out quickly, is it yours who live here!"

    After a while, the door opened and Wei Xiude came out. He said, "What's mine?"

    "That room!" Sun Yuanzhou pointed to the room where the incident happened.

    Wei Xiude glanced at the room, frowning slightly, "Yes, there are two living in it." He seemed to think of something, "What happened to them??"

    Sun Yuanzhou scolded a dirty word.

    Wei Xiude saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and there was some unkindness in it, and he smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, I must remind them well, but they haven't entered the door a few times, and some don't understand. rule……"

    Sun Yuanzhou said coldly: "Take care of your people, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

    He left after he finished speaking, looking like he was extremely tired of Wei Xiude.

    That's right, the ordinary tenth door was already difficult enough, but the newcomer brought in by Wei Xiude made it a hellish difficulty.

    Everyone's mood is not very good at the moment, and the eyes that look at Wei Xiude are also full of disgust. Wei Xiude's behavior has always been despised by others, but everyone inside the door is sweeping the snow in front of the door, and has no intention to care about other people. But if what Wei Xiude did harmed everyone's interests, that would be another matter.

    The box is still howling, and the person listening to it has a splitting headache.

    Lin Qiushi found some relics next to the box. Judging from the number of relics, it was obvious that more than one person was dragged into the box by the girl.

    The death of a person means that the number of people in the box has increased, and the risk of opening the box has increased again.

    Lin Qiushi sighed and felt that things were getting more and more troublesome.

    In the second half of the night, everyone probably didn't fall asleep. After all, the box cried all night, and it was not until the next morning that the sound gradually faded and finally disappeared.

    Lin Qiushi really couldn't understand, Ruan Nanzhu had already told them not to open the box casually, why would anyone break the taboo, do they think they were lucky enough?

    I haven't slept well all night, and everyone's faces are not very good-looking. It's okay for the old people to be experienced. The few people who were tricked in are almost dying, and the girl sat in the corner and cried all the time.

    Breakfast appeared in the restaurant automatically, and it tasted good. Although Lin Qiushi had no appetite, he forced himself to eat a little.

    Ruan Nanzhu had been distracted in the morning, and seemed to be thinking about something. Halfway through the meal, he said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and Lin Qiushi said, "I'll go with you."

    "Okay." Ruan Nanzhu smiled, "I'm still a little scared."

    The toilets in the bungalow are all compartments, and there is no distinction between men and women. Lin Qiushi stood outside and waited. After waiting for a while, he heard a strange sound coming from the toilet.

    Lin Qiushi listened carefully, and when he heard clearly what the sound was, his face changed slightly. This voice... was actually Ruan Nanzhu.

    Ruan Nanzhu seemed to be moaning/groaning softly, and the moaning/groaning was mixed with a weak cry for help.

    Lin Qiushi hurriedly walked into the toilet, he shouted: "Zhu Meng, Zhu Meng, are you alright!" He wanted to push open the door of the compartment, but found that the door was locked, he quickly took out his tools and opened it three or two times. The lock of the compartment.

    As soon as the door opened, he saw the situation in the compartment. There was no one in it. Next to the toilet, there was a black wooden box. The box was unlocked and could be opened with a hand.

    And Ruan Nanzhu's voice came from the box.

    Lin Qiushi's expression changed instantly, many thoughts ran through his head, he walked quickly to the box, and shouted: "Zhu Meng! Zhu Meng! Are you in it!" He felt that Ruan Nanzhu would not be casual The person who opened the box, but the world inside the door was full of surprises. He was afraid that Ruan Nanzhu had encountered an emergency and was dragged into the box by the box girl.

    "Wish Meng!" Lin Qiushi slapped the box and said, "Are you inside, say something—"

    "Save me...Save me..." Ruan Nanzhu's voice became weaker and weaker, as if it would disappear in the next moment, "Save me..."

    In just a few minutes, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Lin Qiushi's forehead. He stared at the lid of the box, swallowed heavily, and said hoarsely, "What's my name, tell me, I'll call outside the door. what name"

    "Lin Lin, save me..." Ruan Nanzhu replied to Lin Qiushi.

    Hearing Ruan Nanzhu's answer, Lin Qiushi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He put his ear to the box, heard the contents inside, and was still calling his name in Ruan Nanzhu's voice.

    "Lin Lin, Lin Lin, help me... Lin Lin, I'm in pain... Lin Lin..."

    Lin Qiushi stared at the box for a while, turned and left the compartment, and then started knocking on the doors of the next compartment one by one.

    Soon, he knocked on the door of a certain compartment, and Ruan Nanzhu, who was raising her skirt in the compartment, showed an inexplicable expression to Lin Qiushi: "Lin Lin, what are you doing?"

    Lin Qiushi looked at his face, didn't speak, walked over and hugged him heavily.

    Ruan Nanzhu was stunned for a moment, and then reached out and hugged Lin Qiushi: "What happened?"

    Lin Qiushi: "I understand what has changed."

    Ruan Nanzhu: "Huh?"

    Lin Qiushi said, "The box girl's skills...a false response." He looked at a compartment, "The box girl can imitate the voice of a person and call for help in the box." Now, there is not so much thought to think about whether it is reasonable, and once the box is really opened, there is no chance to regret it.

    "What did you hear?" Ruan Nanzhu instantly understood from Lin Qiushi's expression and language, "Did you hear me calling for help in the box?"

    "Yes." Lin Qiushi said, "Fortunately, you don't like to call me Lin Lin when you are outside."

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "I didn't hear any sound. It seems that the two people were tricked into it last night."

    "Well." Lin Qiushi said, "It seems that the two of them should have a good relationship outside the door."

    Ruan Nanzhu said: "The box girl you said just now was crying in this room, right?"

    Lin Qiushi nodded.

    "Then we can determine her location." Ruan Nanzhu pondered, "She must have restrictions on movement, otherwise we would not be able to open the box at all."

    If there is no limit, it means that you have just selected a box and are about to open it, and the box girl moves to the front of the box.

    "Yes." Lin Qiushi said, "It can be confirmed that the box girl is in this room...but two people died last night." This means that there are two more box people in the room, and I don't know which box they are hiding in.

    Ruan Nanzhu said, "Let's let them confirm with a stethoscope first."

    Lin Qiushi: "The stethoscope is with the newcomer that Wei Xiude brought."

    Ruan Nanzhu nodded and said: "Well, I know, let's talk to them first, so as not to waste this prop." This stethoscope must have also changed. As for what the change is, it is unknown.

    The author has something to say: the strongest bosses will not collide with each other, because they generally have their own clues to enter their own doors, and the rest of the distribution has no clues, so the strength will be relatively weak. emmm, I personally think that it is a collapse to take out the clues as soon as they come out. After all, they are basically competitors. There is only one clue to the next door and it is very important. Ruan Nanzhu is definitely impossible. Going in shows that you have clues to attract other people's attention.
