Volume 7: Escape Room (43)
Liu Qianyun's vague fear was very real, which made Feng Rong look at her with some puzzlement, those small movements were obvious in his senses-this was obviously a game, why did she seem to be trapped in this place by the real thing? Did Hu Hui's death make her abnormal?
Because of the difference in living environment, Feng Rong Xindao may have a deviation between his feelings and those of ordinary people, so there is no superfluous thought, but Ling Yaojia said without yin or yang: "Those who have strength come to kill what, and those who don't have strength need to worry about these things." ”
The rest of the people were very wise not to participate in the war between women, and Xu Ye continued with the topic just now: "According to the description in the diary, the death toll in the building is two, and the missing six - of course, I think they are more likely to die - could it be that this corresponds to our two groups of eight people?"
"No, not eight people. Lin Yingkong retorted coldly.
"Huh?" Xu Ye was stunned for a while, he remembered the sentence in Wu Zheng's diary, "Two people died in the building, and six people didn't see anyone dead or corpse", but when Lin Yingkong said this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Lin Yingkong didn't sell Guan Zi either, and explained: "It's hard to say what happened after that, but as far as we know, among the clues we know, the missing people should be counted Xiao Min and Wu Zheng, and the total should be ten people." ”
The others suddenly realized, indeed, Xiao Min needless to say, the last sentence in Wu Zheng's diary is also very suspicious, the summoned devil is estimated to have found him, and his diary is indeed no follow-up, but in this way, the eight people are afraid that it will not work, after all, the position where Xing Jun appeared is already a variable, and now the number is completely incorrect.
"Actually, if the assumption of 'someone summons demons' is true, I don't understand why its killing route is restricted," Lin Yingkong picked up a pen and accurately drew an arrow from top to bottom and back to the third floor on the floor distribution map drawn by Feng Rong, "The summoning array is on the third floor, and the first thing to have an accident should be on the third floor, even if Xiao Min protects himself, there is no need to protect the other three residents, but the accident started from the rooftop, and gradually went down, and the third floor became the last island...... It was as if something was holding it back from invading the building. And this force may be so great that it can hurt it, so that it can only lead people to the rooftop at first, but cannot "eat" smoothly, so that the prey jumped off the building in panic, and the other was not completely destroyed, so that Wu Zheng inadvertently saw some clues.
"Most likely, Xiao Min did something, since she can summon the demon race, maybe there will be a way to suppress it. Xu Ye guessed.
Xing Jun thought for a moment, "So her disappearance may be because she angered this summoned demon clan, so the other party fought back?"
Feng Rong shook his head, "The summoning contract is not so easy to violate. "Otherwise, the human world would have been rampant with demons and subverted the way of the world.
As one of the people who knew more about the formation, Xu Ye echoed his statement, "I don't know Xiao Min's strength, but judging from the complexity of the summoning array, the other party must be summoning a high-level demon clan, once the counterattack is nine deaths and the formation master is dead, it will definitely be sent back." "Most of those who can continue to do evil against their masters have made trading contracts, but summoning contracts are more inclined to master-servant contracts, and the results will always be different when one party dies.
"So Xiao Min is not necessarily missing, maybe he is just hiding?" Lin Yingkong made up for the bleak plot of Wu Zheng's infatuation and wanting to avenge the woman he loved, but when he was dying, he found that the other party was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Qian Hui said with some confusion: "I still don't understand, why did Xiao Min summon demons?" The price of summoning high-level demon creatures is too great, and the intersection of lives can be said lightly, if it is not because of ignorance, then what is it worth her to take her life?"
"What reason do you need sometimes?" It was Liu Qianyun who spoke, her voice was not heavy, but her eyes were very heavy, "For the sake of power, there are always people who are willing to exchange anything for it." ”
The discussion about Xiao Min has come to an end, in addition, the relatively big clue is the creature that attacked Xing Jun, no matter what it is, it is unreasonable to appear here, the two groups negotiated for a while, and agreed to Feng Rong's suggestion to disrupt the grouping and search all the sixteen rooms in the building and the rooftop, in this situation where it is difficult to decide whether to cooperate or not, the identity of the head of the Spirit Law Enforcement Department still subtly affects the pattern of the game.
Feng Rong naturally divided into a team with his assistants, Ling Yaojia obviously wanted to act with them, but the minister glanced at her tepidly, although there was nothing unusual in his eyes, Ling Yaojia still stopped his steps unhappily, and went to the first floor with Qian Hui, Liu Qianyun and Xu Ye were on the second floor, Xing Jun and A Hao were in charge of the third floor - it is worth mentioning that although I have not really seen A Hao make a move, the two mountains of the field service group of the General Office have a kind of "he is a master" 's subtle premonition, so he was relieved to leave Xing Jun in his group, and the two of them took over the fourth floor and the rooftop.
Qian Hui is not without doubt, "The people in this building are missing one by one, and we are likely to repeat their previous scenes, so why do we have to act separately?"
The answer to him was actually Ah Hao, who barely said anything: "Since they have all entered the game field," the beautiful arc of his eyes looked at Qi Hui fixedly, cold, noble, as if he regarded mortals as dust, "What else do you ask for?"
That kind of appearance seemed to be a metaphor for the other party's timid words, so choked that Qi Hui couldn't say anything for a while.
After this episode, the four teams that were dismantled and disrupted finally separated and went to investigate, Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong also went up to the fourth floor, before Ling Yaojia was in 404, Lin Yingkong was in 401, so they went to 402, which no one had patronized before, 403, Xing Jun gave the keys of the landlord to each group of people according to the number of floors, but maybe these rooms that had nothing to do were not within the scope of the key care of Mingjing Resort, the locks were a little rusty, and it took a while for the seal to open the door of 402, and the spiritual sense slipped in and slipped around, he reached out to touch the switch of the light, and the incandescent light flashed unsteadily a few times, but it lit up.
There were no corners in the room, the degree of newness was similar to the ones they had seen before, many of the furnishings were untouched, as if waiting for the return of the master, Feng Rong was about to go to look for clues carefully, but Lin Yingkong suddenly closed the door, took out an envelope and handed it to him, "Minister, look at what this is." ”
"Huh?" Feng Rong took it and guessed the origin of this thing at once, "It seems to be a letter, you found it in 401?"
"Well, they're all old fritters playing games, so we're sure to keep some hole cards too. A "we" made Feng Rong's face soften slightly, but unfortunately Assistant Lin couldn't see it at this time, and urged him: "Minister, take a look at what it is, I'm blind now, and I think this thing in that room is a little more special." ”
Feng Rong understood his judgment, this envelope was plain white, without any decoration, but the workmanship was very exquisite, and the paper was smooth to the touch, in the nineties, it was not something that people in this kind of place like a poor cellar could afford, Lin Ying could detect something wrong with his empty hand. The opening of the envelope was not sealed, and inside was a stack of paper that was pinched up and a little heavy, and the seal pulled it out and unfolded it, and the paper was also plain white, so white that there were no impurities, and a line of small words was neatly written in the middle of the top one with a pen:
"Shhhh ”
Feng Rong frowned, opened the second one, it was the same word, but the font was bigger, and then turned over, the content remained the same, only the font was getting bigger and bigger, the handwriting was getting more and more messy, and by the last one, just a few words had spread all over the entire white paper, and the malice was almost turned into a black beast to break free from the paper and pounce in front of people, Rao is Feng Rong has always been calm, and at this time he couldn't help but look at his side, the room was full of dead silence, but he could only see Lin Yingkong who was seriously waiting for him to answer.
"What's wrong with the minister?" Lin Yingkong noticed that his breathing paused for a moment, and immediately asked out loud. Feng Rong told him the details of the letter, and Lin Yingkong made a goosebump-shaking motion, "This place is like a haunted house, why is it so ugly?"
"The one who lives in 401 is the second deceased, Ning Bo, could he be ......" Lin Yingkong groaned, "scared to death?"
"If a letter alone scares people to death, it's unlikely, and it's just what the letter implies. ”
"I don't usually do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night," Lin Yingkong shrugged, "Is this kind of thing still rare?"
Feng Rong pondered at first, then frowned, "So this time you really came to solve the case?" He felt that the story behind this building seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Lin Yingkong was still immersed in this strange incident, but when he reminded him like this, he smiled dumbly, "Minister, you really don't have any talent for playing games." "No matter how good the atmosphere is, it can be poked by him casually.
Feng Rong paused, and said in a flat voice: "You play with yours, don't care what I say." ”
Even if his tone didn't fluctuate, Lin Yingkong could imagine that he was a little embarrassed at this time, his minister was always like this, only a cold face, and his heart was far less cold and hard than he showed...... Lin Yingkong couldn't help but reach out and hug him, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said softly: "The minister doesn't have to accommodate me, with you, I can't concentrate on playing." ”
As long as he was by his side, he wanted to devote all his attention to this person.
Feng Rong understood the meaning of his words, and became even more embarrassed, he still couldn't adapt to this kind of atmosphere that was so sweet and greasy that it seemed to soften his whole person, Lin Yingkong stopped, kissed his forehead, and changed the topic: "Playing this kind of escape room with a plot, it is estimated that you have to find out the murderer, a copy of the closed room murder case." ”
Another important point that Feng Rong cared about was: "Don't everyone think that Xiao Min summoned the demons?"
