Volume 2 Eternal Sleep Chapter 62 Restoring the Truth

When Xu Qingran and the three of them walked into the restaurant, Ai Yu, Lin Mo and Yin Weiyu sat in a row, looking like they had already used their breakfast, Lin Mo sat in the middle, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and the other two stared at the paper very attentively, and the three seemed to be seriously discussing something before they pushed the door in.

"We've seen the task of updating the system, light dye, what did you see last night?" Lin Mo heard the movement and raised his head to look at him, Xu Qingran looked around the restaurant, but he didn't see Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, so he smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Those two children haven't come yet, let's talk together when they arrive." ”

"Light dye, you're not in danger, are you?" Ai Yu's undisguised gaze fell on Xu Qingran's body, looked at his whole body, and found no traces of torn clothes, but then she remembered that everyone was a person with healing props, and she couldn't see that Xu Qingran had wounds on his body, but it didn't mean that he hadn't been injured.

"Nope." Xu Qingran took two sips of milk, picked up the silver knives and forks placed on both sides of the white dinner plate, cut the roasted golden toast into four triangles, and the silver knife reached into the rose-red jam bottle, scooped out some jam and spread it on the bread, and then picked up the fork and forked the toast and put it in his mouth.

Xu Qingran ate this meal extremely elegantly, and he ate it for a long time, like a real European aristocrat enjoying breakfast. Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao also arrived at the restaurant not long after, and the two of them were not so particular, and quickly solved the breakfast as if they were hungry. As everyone put down the dishes, Xu Qingran cleared his throat, "Then let's start talking about last night." You should have all seen the update to Special Mission 1. We need to collate all the clues we have so far and deduce what is happening in this town based on them. ”

"All the clues so far?" Yin Weiyu pondered for a moment, and suddenly stood up from his seat, "I remember that there are still a lot of blank papers and pens at the front desk, why don't I bring some over, everyone writes down the clues they have found, as well as the places they think are strange, and then summarize them?" I think it will be more conducive to reasoning, after all, there are too many clues in this town. ”

Jun Yao also had this intention, but since Yin Weiyu said this first, and also made a move, she didn't speak, just nodded, Xu Qingran also felt that this was a good way, so she let Yin Weiyu walk out of the restaurant to get white paper and pen. After three or four minutes, Yin Weiyu walked in with a stack of papers and eight pens, she put two things on the dining table, and did not prepare to distribute them to everyone, but waited for them to get them themselves.

Jun Yao took the pen and paper, but did not start writing immediately, but put these clues in his mind and went through them.

They come to this town because of Mayor James's request to find out the whereabouts of the missing children and unravel the truth about strange things. Through this commission, clues can be drawn such as midnight singing, sleepwalking that children can't stop, and the disappearance of children. When they first entered the mission, five of the fifteen children in the town had already disappeared, and the time of the mission was not determined, and all the children were missing as the final date of the mission.

They got information about the five children through Mayor James and went to each house to inquire, and except for the Alice family, the other parents were more cooperative. From them, they learned about the Time Curse, the Puppet, Hide and Seek, and Elizabeth, one of the key characters in Time.

They then enter the bell tower, where the event began, where they find traces left by the children, and enter a completely different bell tower in another way, where they see the frescoes of the gods and learn that the lord of Eternal Sleep is Avarice. They have also explored several other suspicious locations, finding a rose garden belonging to Avarice in the Eternal Night Forest, and the Eternal Star Theater has also been explored, and they know that the studio named "Pandora's Box" contains powerful creatures, and they are also given a special task to watch the show.

Within these chaotic clues, there can only be one main line.

"I have two points here, maybe you don't know." Lin Mo was the first to speak, "First of all, do you remember that we went to the bell tower together the next day?" It was the day Elizabeth's room was discovered, and the first time she collided head-on with the Masked Man. ”

Although they have been in this mission for six days, they are not so forgetful of what happened before, and they can't remember anything at all. So everyone nodded, and Lin Mo continued, "Jun Yao and Weiyu should be very clear, after all, we went to the second floor together, and there were a lot of blood stains on the ground at that time, and I squatted down to check it. ”

Jun Yao remembered that there was indeed such a thing, at that time, Lin Mo reached out and touched the blood stains on the floor, and then took her hand back, but she showed extreme discomfort. She seemed to want to touch Lin Mo at that time, but she avoided her.

"At that time, I saw some mutilated images through the blood stains on the floor, and I never said that it was because I was about to forget about it, and then all the attention was on Elizabeth's room, and I naturally forgot about it."

"What did you see through the blood?" Xu Qingran asked straight to the point.

"Two children, a child and a puppet to be exact." Lin Mo told what he saw, "The little boy in the sailor suit, who later disappeared Adam, crawled on the ground covered in blood, his legs seemed to be broken, and he could only move forward with his hands. He was followed by a little girl in a red dress with curly blond hair, but her limbs were not the same as those of us humans, but of the kind of wood that were joined together. Step by step, she approached Adam, who looked back in horror as he crawled, and he said, 'Help me, I don't want to die.' But the girl didn't pay attention to his cry for help, Adam kept chanting 'please let me go' and 'I don't want things, I really don't want ......', the little girl was unmoved, Adam had climbed to the end, there was a dead wall in front of him, so he sat up, his face was full of pain, and at this time I saw the face of the little girl, which was Alice. Adam cried and shouted, 'Alice, please spare me, Alice...... and Alice's movements stopped, she tilted her head as if in response to what Adam said, then she smiled, raised her right hand high, and swung it down so hard that I could only hear Adam's screams, but I couldn't see anything else. ”

"Alice? Is it Alice who is the man who hunted Adam? How can it be...... And you still say Alice is a puppet? Chen Yang was shocked by what Lin Mo said, he didn't think about it, and blurted out a rhetorical question.

Except for Zhao Xiao, who had the same idea as him, the others didn't seem surprised by Alice's pursuit of Adam, as if they already knew about it, and it was the truth. So Chen Yang shut up in amusement and decided not to disturb their discussion.

"The second thing has to do with the music we heard in the park last night. Before I say that, I'd like to ask you what that ballad you heard the day before looked like? Before Lin Mo spoke, he wanted to confirm whether the song they heard was the first or the second, so that it was possible to find some patterns.

Xu Qingran thought for a moment and replied, "The ballad is very long, and I don't remember the whole content clearly, but I remember that the last part was, 'If you can pursue the flower of purity, please don't worry about it, ......let her go.'"

Lin Mo frowned, obviously this answer was not quite the same as she imagined, "How can this be...... I thought it was a change of time, but this is the song you heard? ”

Lin Mo's self-talk confused everyone, she thought for a while, and said, "I suspect that there are two songs in this town, just like the bell tower has two bell towers. The night we first arrived, I fell asleep at night, knowing nothing, and I was the last one to fall asleep, and I heard some soundsβ€”the sound of the sickle rubbing against the ground, the cry of a child for help, the laughter of the old man, and ...... A faint singing voice. ”

"Yes, Momo, you did say that, but didn't you say last night that the song you heard earlier wasn't the same as the one we heard at the time?" Ai Yu nodded in response, "So what's going on?" Just like the trigger conditions of the two bell towers are different, if these two ballads exist, what kind of conditions are they? ”

"I have a guess, but it's just a guess. I suspect that the appearance of these two ballads has something to do with 'we'. Lin Mo thought for a while, said such a sentence, and subconsciously avoided Xu Qingran's slightly suspicious gaze, and then said, "Qingran woke up unexpectedly the day before yesterday, and the song you heard in the park is the same song that we heard yesterday when we completed the mission of free action, the ballad is the same in the past two days, and our actions also have the same characteristics - some of us are awake and can move freely." The song I heard the first night, though it was a fragment and vague, had a more eerie tune than what we had heard in the park, and it was more appropriate to say that it was eerie, and that song had only appeared once so far, when we were all under the spell of Sleep. So I think it's like a bell tower with a mural that can only be accessed by crawling through the ventilation ducts, and another bell tower with Elizabeth's room when you walk in from the main entrance, different conditions will lead to different songs, but no matter which song it is, the effect should be the same. ”

"Is it to manipulate the minds of children?" Jiang Xian answered, Lin Mo nodded, agreeing with Jiang Xian's point of view, which was also her point of view.

Ai Yu seemed to remember something, "Speaking of which, I remembered the strange phenomenon I saw in Adam's room that day!" At that time, you urged you to go downstairs, and Jun Yao went out first, I remembered to take the orange corner of the clothes that I don't know who left, so I went back to get it, at that time, the whole room was airtight, except for the door, but because the corridor is also closed, so the wind can't pass through the door, even if it is through I should feel it. ”

Speaking of this, Ai Yu took a deep breath, "The wardrobe door opened by itself, I remember very well that I closed the wardrobe door tightly, but I heard the 'squeak' movement, and the wardrobe door opened by itself, and the door was pulled out, so if it opened by itself, it could only be the force inside pushing it." I wondered why the cabinet door was open, so I went up to look at it, and in an instant, I saw a flash of red light, which seemed to be a pair of eyes. ”

"I was so scared that I didn't dare to go up and open the door to see what was inside, I went downstairs directly, I wanted to tell you at the time, but Linda was there, I didn't think it was convenient, so I didn't say it, and there were a lot of new clues in the back, so I forgot about it."

"Blood-red eyes again?" Yin Weiyu repeated it contemplatively, and then she spoke as if she had thought of something, "Blood-red eyes have appeared many times, right?" Do you remember? At least three times in my memory! The first time was in Adam's diary, Adam said that he was playing hide and seek with his friends, obviously hiding in another street, but when he received the signal that the game was over, he found that he had moved to the door of the Yongxing Grand Theater, and he looked at the second floor, and found that one of the rooms was very strange, and huge red eyes appeared, so frightened that he quickly ran away. The second time was when I wanted to check the situation near the Yongxing Grand Theater yesterday morning, and I also paid special attention to the second floor, and saw the voice and shadow of a suspicious woman and the sight of blood-red eyes pressing against me. Plus the one you said you saw in Adam's closet just now, it's three times! ”

"Could this blood-red eye be an ethereal spirit or a behind-the-scenes boss?" Jun Yao guessed, after all, this matter is inconclusive, and no one has the next move after seeing the blood-red eyes, so there is no answer to this question, so Jun Yao looked down at his scratch paper and spoke, "Speaking of blood-red eyes, I have one more point to say, the Elizabeth's room we found in the clock tower is red. And when we went to the ambush outside Arthur's house last night, I noticed that there was also a room on the second floor of Arthur's house with a red light. Actually, I noticed the red room earlier, and I pointed out that it was similar to Elizabeth's room, when we visited Arthur for the second time and triggered the main quest 2 without incident. ”

"I suspect it's a passage......"
