Today, the author has something to do at noon, so update it in advance, and the second chapter is in the evening.

―――――――――――

As a player who has been involved in puzzle games for a long time, Zhao Nuo has seen all kinds of weird problems in the game:

-- Guessing ciphers, puzzles, numerical calculations, arranging words, and three-dimensional chimeras through guò verses......

And he insisted on not looking at the strategy, and when he was alone, he solved countless changes. State puzzles.

So, for him now, no puzzle can pose a threat.

――What if the girl is a legendary scriptwriter? In her own opinion, she is just a little girl who has not yet grown up.

Zhao Nuo began to think confidently, and it took less than ten seconds to think of a solution.

Immersing his consciousness in the game and temporarily forgetting his true identity, at this moment, he seems to have become a thief who strayed into the trap house in the game - Summer Night.

―――――――――――

After reading what was written in the notebook, the girl in the white down jacket, based on the information provided by the first sentence "Expelling darkness with sacred candles", began to turn around and look for any "candles" in the house.

It was very dangerous to go straight into the house, and the author of the note was apparently hinting at the need for lighting. Even if it's not a candle, as long as it's something that can be used for lighting.

"Is it okay to use a mobile phone?"

Summer Night immediately dismissed this idea, because the guy who wrote the note couldn't be sure that he had a mobile phone, and he couldn't be sure that the phone would definitely have a charge. So the lighting appliance that guy is talking about will definitely not be a mobile phone.

So, what could it be?

She focused her gaze on the bedside table in the living room, and at the top of the bedside table, a small silver-white flashlight was being placed.

Walked over and picked up the flashlight and pressed the switch, and a bright pillar of light appeared in front of him. The girl snorted in satisfaction, this thing must be the "sacred candle" mentioned in the note.

Walking into a dark bedroom with a flashlight, Summer Night began to think about the second sentence of the note:

Absorb evil with hanging sinners.

It's definitely impossible to hang upside down, and even if you want to, there's no place to hang it, and only a fool would do that, and if there is anyone in this room who can hang up, it must be......

The light of the flashlight shines on the three humanoid puppets hanging from the ceiling. Summer Night carefully climbed onto the plank bed and walked over to the puppet to take a closer look.

The doll's face has lost its paint, revealing a pale wood like white bone, its eyes have no pupils but only the whites of its eyes, and its mouth is wide open like a hanged corpse.

"Hanging sinners" should refer to these puppets, right? But now their posture is not so much hanging upside down as "hanging".

By the light of the flashlight, she carefully examined the chains that bound the dolls, which were fastened to the ceiling by large steel spikes, and looked so strong that they couldn't be moved at all. But......

One of the steel nails seems to be loose, and if you pull hard, you may be able to make the chain attached to the steel nail fall off, so that a puppet that loses its balance should become an upside-down posture.

Want to try?

After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Ye quickly chose to try, she put the flashlight in her mouth, and then grabbed the steel nail as big as her fist with both hands, and pulled it down hard-

"Click!"

The concrete ceiling made a worrying cracking sound, and the steel nails fell along with the chain that had attached the upper body of the doll, smashing into the bed below.

And one of the dolls, which was originally hung on the ceiling in a "hanging" pose, has now immediately become the "upside-down hanger" in the tarot cards.

In this way, the second step of removing the spirit recorded in the note has also been completed.

So, that's all that remains for the last step:

- Seal the gate with the chains of the gods.

"Does the chain of the gods mean this chain? But I can't remove this thing. ”

When Xia Ye was puzzled, he saw the upside-down wooden puppet suddenly open its mouth, and a silver-white object flowed out of its mouth, and at the same time made a "whoosh" sound.

She was startled and nearly fell, only to notice that what had fallen out of the puppet's mouth was a brand new metal chain.

"I see, can you only get the chain if you let the puppet hang upside down? That's what it means......"

Summer Night suddenly realized and picked up the silver-white chain that had fallen on the bed.

At this moment, she heard heavy footsteps from the living room.

"Knock, knock, knock."

When I poked my head out, I saw a tall black shadow walking out of the room with a shaky wardrobe before, and walked slowly to the bedroom where I was!

Thinking back to the wardrobe that suddenly shook inexplicably before, a chill rose from under his feet and flowed all over his body. Summer Night hurriedly retreated to the bedroom and closed the door, only to find that there was a metal handle embedded in the wall next to the door.

She immediately used the chain in her hand to wrap it around the doorknob several times, and then wrapped it around the metal handle next to it. Then he took a few steps back, staring nervously at the bedroom door, which had been double-safed.

Although she was frightened, she finally understood the meaning of the last hint in the note:

"Seal the gate with the chains of the gods, that's what you say......"

Soon there was a "bang" at the door, and looking at the constantly trembling chains, Summer Night couldn't help but rejoice that she had done what the note had requested.

――If I had gone straight into the house, I would have been killed by the man outside the house!

That person must be the trap maker who tricked himself, right? No, if he had designed the trap in this room, he would not have left a way to deal with himself in his notes.

Moreover, Summer Night didn't think that the high-IQ criminal would appear in such a clumsy way.

Since he is not the mastermind, who could be this person who is slamming the door? Could it be that there is more than one criminal?

However, if it is an accomplice, it is not natural to act so slowly, can it be said that ......

The sound of slamming on the door slowly subsided, and after a minute it disappeared completely, and there was no sound outside the door, and no sound could be heard.

"That guy...... Could it be ......?"

Although it is likely to be dangerous to open the door rashly now, Summer Night can't help but want to open the door to confirm the situation outside.

Want to open the door?

After thinking for a moment, Summer Night tore off the chain around the door and tossed it aside, then held her breath and slammed the door open.

Then she screamed loudly:

"Ahhh

The body of the man in black fell to the door, his back revealing several shocking cut wounds, still bleeding outward.

Turning his head to look at the door panel next to him, Xia Ye saw two big characters written in blood on the door panel, crooked:

"Help, me."
