Chapter 7: The Scarlet Supper

In the Silent Hills bungalow, Carey and Alice listened to Zhang Yi's words and nodded seriously. The eerie atmosphere of the Mysterious Mountain Villa gave Carey and Alice great oppression in their hearts.

The torrential rain outside the window has the potential to shatter the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bungalow.

After briefly explaining the situation to his companions, Zhang Yi said: "Okay, now that Agent Cole is not with us, we can only rely on ourselves for the next 24 hours. ”

24 hours is the trial time limited by the system to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi has limited the two companions beside him through the non-existent instructions of "Agent Cole"!

"Carey, here's a task for you, check the doors and windows of this bungalow, and be careful that the wind outside the window breaks the windows, so that we will sleep in the storm all night."

When the young detective's assistant heard this, he let out a few "oh" and walked by the window in disappointment, for Mr. Cole had been missing for more than 72 hours and was still unable to return to the cottage tonight, which made Carey extremely uneasy.

Zhang Yi looked at Carey carefully and nodded silently, it seems that as a player in the plot, he can still mobilize the characters in the play! If so, you will be more confident to face the challenges ahead!

Boom, boom, thunder and lightning outside the window illuminated the huge glass, and Carey checked that every window on the floor-to-ceiling glass wall was closed tightly, and while looking at the rainstorm outside the window, Agent Cole's usual appearance appeared in his mind.

At this time, looking at the coat worn by Zhang Yi not far away, for a while, Kaili's heart moved inexplicably, and there was a strange change in his thoughts.

On the other hand, while Zhang Yi arranged for Carey to check the doors and windows, he took Alice to the entrance of the bungalow, where a large basket of rain-stained food was placed, including pork, mutton, onions, tomatoes and potatoes.

In the crack of the door, the cold wind was blowing, and from time to time rain poured in.

Zhang Yi dragged the food in the direction of the living room, raised his eyes to look at Kaili, but saw that the detective assistant was looking at him coldly, and his heart couldn't help but jump suddenly, and a sense of unease permeated.

What kind of look is this, does this Carey not believe his words?

Zhang Yi secretly paid attention, as a new player of "Deathland", Zhang Yi knew that in the world of Deathland, all the plot characters are full of extremely high IQ, if players underestimate them, it is very likely that they will capsize in the gutter and be counter-killed by the plot characters.

Therefore, when he noticed that Kairi's mood was not quite right, Zhang Yi seemed a little nervous.

But right now, Carey is the object he must protect, although Zhang Yi felt uneasy, but he did not immediately show any direct anger or questioning, the first thing Zhang Yi had to do tonight was to stabilize Carrie's mood and not let him think cranky.

Preparing dinner together is a good way to communicate.

On the first floor of the bungalow, not far from the heating fireplace is the kitchen, the old stove, with the new gas stove, Zhang Yi took out the pork and mutton in the basket, and found a large bundle of pasta in the kitchen, so he "volunteered" to prepare dinner.

Alice was on the side to fight for Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi intended to communicate with Carrie, so when preparing dinner, he called Carey to his side from time to time and asked him to help him do something.

Kaili was also quite obedient to this, and when Zhang Yi was about to cook vegetables, Carey was holding a black kitchen knife in his hand and was chopping the pork into meat sauce.

About an hour later, dinner was ready, with tomato and minced pasta and baked potatoes as the main dishes, and Zhang Yi prepared a bowl of hot onion soup for everyone.

Before entering the People's Hospital, Zhang Yi had several years of experience in studying abroad, which allowed him to easily capture the appetite of the British. The potatoes are baked directly in the fireplace, and such an easy way is unimaginable for the two of them!

"Wow! Mr. Zhang Yi, I didn't expect you to have such a craft, it's amazing! ”

Alice looked at the steaming dinner in front of her, her eyes narrowed into a line, she took a small spoonful of soup and stirred it on the mashed potatoes, scooped a spoonful into her mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

On the other side, Carey drank a large head of pepper and onion soup, and although his face was indifferent, he couldn't help but secretly approve of it. It's just that the dinner made of tomato sauce on the table, with the meat foam he had chopped just now, looks a little scary and disgusting, which makes Carrie's stomach a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Yi carefully observed the reactions of the two companions and ate a large mouthful of pasta at the same time.

The real food touch in "Deathland" surprised Zhang Yi and secretly amazed, no wonder the veteran players of "Deathland" would say that this is actually a real horror world, and when feeling the aroma of food, Zhang Yi deeply understood this truth.

The three of them ate their dinner in a hurry, and the pasta slipped and slipped into their mouths.

At this moment, Zhang Yi still didn't understand the entire Silent Manor, in order to deal with the turmoil that might happen next, Zhang Yi took advantage of the relaxed mood of the two companions, and hurriedly asked: "Everyone, have you found anything in the manor these days?" ”

At this time, Alice hurriedly put down the onion soup in her hand, cautiously glanced in the direction of the window, and then said: "Mr. Zhang Yi, you finally spoke, if you don't ask, I will be suffocated to death!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled, it seems that there is indeed a plot that has been set up in these two companions who have been arranged by the system, but because he has never asked before, Alice and the others have never said it.

At this time, Zhang Yi saw that Alice already trusted him very much, and nodded with satisfaction, Zhang Yi believed that although he asked this relatively late, but after experiencing the foreshadowing of preparing dinner together, Alice would definitely know everything about herself, and she would say everything.

Be kind to every character in the story, and you will wake up unexpectedly.

This is an important lesson that "that person" told himself when he was looking for a way to log in to Deathland!

As soon as he thought of "that person", Zhang Yi couldn't help but smile again, wait a minute, after he has completed the rookie test, he can appear in front of you!

In the restaurant, Alice looked at Zhang Yi with some panic, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, when you went out to look for Mr. Cole today, we found a very terrifying thing in this manor......

Alice had just said this, when suddenly there was a "click", and a dim wall lamp on the wall made a sound of filament breaking, and it was extinguished in an instant!

As darkness plunged around the table, Alice was startled and couldn't help but exclaim.

On the side, Zhang Yi also looked a little flustered, but after a short period of surprise, Zhang Yi quickly regained his composure, knocked on the tableware with a knife and fork and said, "Alice, don't panic, it's the light bulb that is broken." ”

A flash of thunder and lightning flashed, Alice finally saw the location of Zhang Yi and Kaili clearly, and then she was much more relieved, pressed her chest with her hand, and continued: "Mr. Zhang, what I want to say is very likely to be related to a murder case, you come over a little and listen to me whisper to you." ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and after confirming that there was no additional "fourth person" in the room by the thunder and lightning flashing from time to time outside the window, Zhang Yi moved the table and chair and came to Alice.

At this time, Alice leaned next to Zhang Yi's ear and said with a warm breath: "Mr. Zhang, today we found that the ugly Mr. butler was pushing two sacks of things to the potato garden, and when Mr. Carey asked him what was in the sack, Mr. Housekeeper told us that it was potatoes in it. ”

"Sir, you think, this potato is harvested from the land, and is usually stored in the cellar, why does this gentleman send the harvested potatoes back to the land, and now is not the season for potato sowing...... Therefore, we suspect that the sack is actually the maid lady and her husband who have been missing for a few days! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yi's heart moved, but he heard the voice of the system for a while.

"You triggered a side quest."

"Mission: Explore the potato fields at night and find the sack that Alice is talking about!"

"Task Reward and Punishment: Successfully find the sack, reward 20 terror points, no punishment for failing the mission!"

"The mission can be unacceptable!"
