After some exploration, the doubts have not been eliminated much, but have greatly increased.

An ordinary man of fifty years old filled with four players, a house with doors and windows closed on a hot day, mysterious special soundproof windows, and a family that has disappeared inexplicably...

All the doubts gathered together, making Xing Hechou feel that his head began to ache faintly.

Leon's voice came, "Considering that when we entered the mansion for the second time, the scene on the first floor of the house hadn't changed much,

There is no dust on the floor, and the shoes remain in their original position.

For the time being, it can be assumed that the time between the first and second entries is not very far apart.

Or, the first time and the second time you enter the same world. ”

Xing He raised his eyebrows worriedly, "Dream? Hallucination? Recall? Or is it a simple, logically inferred anomalous event? ”

Leon replied, "It's all possible, there is still too little information at the moment. Keep exploring and try to find some useful enough information. ”

"Okay."

Xing Hechou nodded, stood in the living room and looked left and right, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he walked to the steps leading to the second floor,

Standing at the top of the stairs, he talked to his companion about the unknown man's voice he had heard earlier.

"That voice said in Japanese in your ear, 'Fukujin, can you hear me?' Lucky God?! Then there was a change,

You've taken control of the body of the Plains of Fortune, and we've got into your mind...

Damn, things are getting weird. ”

Leon thought for a moment and said, "When I walked up the steps, I clearly remember that I didn't hear this voice. ”

Wanli sealed the knife and said, "I don't have either." ”

Liu Wuxian said: "Me too. ”

Xing Hechou let out a breath of turbidity, "Did I hear it alone... Whose voice is that? ”

"Fukujin Plains himself? God? Monster? Alien? ”

Li Ang said casually: "If it is not necessary, do not add entities." At present, the available information is not enough to make valid and reliable inferences, and there are too many possibilities.

It's useless to think too much. ”

"Hmm."

Xing Hechou nodded and looked up at the wooden staircase.

Fortunately, the residence of the Fukujin family is relatively large, and the stairs are much wider.

It's not like the cramped and narrow staircase in the movie "The Grudge", and it feels like there will be a "person" climbing down at any time.

By the way, when Xing Hechou first became a player and was asked by the organization to watch various types of literary and artistic works in various regions and make up for knowledge,

I have listened to the analysis lectures of the Secret Service Think Tank on the "Grudge" series and the "Midnight Bell" series of films.

At that time, the back row of the spacious Great Hall was full of players,

On the podium in front of us, there is a group of bald and elderly experts and scholars - they are sitting on the front of the seat, holding infrared teaching sticks, and every few seconds they stop the projector that is playing a movie.

Point an infrared stick at the screen,

From the aspects of aesthetics, psychology, sociology, semiotics, folklore and film studies, analyze the message expressed by this film,

Tell the trainees,

In the face of supernatural events, what should be done to maximize the probability of survival.

The students below are holding pen and paper and taking notes quickly, as if they were still in their young school days...

Well

Now the Special Affairs Bureau will often hold lectures on the analysis and discussion of literary and artistic works by think tank teams.

Topics include but are not limited to movies, TV series, video games, anime, etc.

Keep up with the trend of the times and follow the current hot spots.

There are also such online courses available for download within the Secret Service Bureau,

What "Report on the Development of Philosophy and Social Sciences in the Hokage and the Study of International Issues",

"Multilateralism and Geopolitics in Warhammer 40K",

"Monster ○ Man, Monster Ecological Niche Pattern",

"We invited dozens of horror film directors and screenwriters at home and abroad to chat with them about the source of inspiration in the creative process",

"The Origin, Formation and Development of Galgame Game Culture and the Action Strategies that Players Should Make When Facing the Romance-themed Script Mission",

And so on.

Having an official background is powerful,

After the entry of the think tank, bigwigs from all walks of life mass-produced thousands of professional papers in different disciplines, directions, and perspectives in just a few months.

stripped most of the literary and artistic works to the point that there were no socks left, and they were all clean.

The most exaggerated thing is that because of the official background, the Special Affairs Bureau can even directly invite the creators of those literary and artistic works, and let them talk about the ideas they conceived when they were created, as well as the ideas that were discarded in the creation process-

If the player really enters the world of literary and artistic scripts, this information may be the legendary "coding backdoor" and "author channel".

Of course, except for a very small number of people in the Special Affairs Bureau, there are not many players who have read even one-tenth of the papers.

After all, the player's time in the real world is basically filled with endless skill training, physical training, and combat drills.

And many players are ordinary people before they are promoted, and I am afraid that they can kill them if they take the college entrance examination again, let alone relearn more professional knowledge...

Thinking of this, Xing Hechou couldn't help but sigh slightly,

It's a pity that the real world doesn't have a very deep understanding of irrational abnormal events, and there is no way to provide him with enough reliable theoretical support, so he can only take one step at a time.

I hope that Li Risheng and Liu Wuxian, two talented teammates, can give guidance.

Trample.

Xing Hechou's rain boots landed lightly on the wooden steps, his left hand holding the guardrail, and his right hand holding an alloy steel Santoku knife (taken from the kitchen of Fukujin's house, it was an all-round knife that Hijima learned to imitate from Western-style chef knives, and the blade was thicker and could be used to cut vegetables and debon. Of course, it can also be used to stab people in self-defense)

At present, Xing Hechou has lost his extraordinary ability as a player, and he can only choose common knives to defend himself.

stepped on it, and it didn't trigger any explosion or trapping mechanism.

Xing He's ears were worried, and he didn't hear the male voice again.

"Everything works."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk upward,

Keep the Sande knife in your hand tight, and if something goes wrong, you can stab at the enemy at any time.

In just two flights of stairs, Xing Hechou walked very slowly, until he stepped on the floor on the second floor, he slightly lowered the heavy stone hanging in his heart, "Come up." ”

"Good."

There was also a sense of relief in Leon's voice, "Hmm... When I searched the first floor before, it seemed that the Japanese-style room in the corner was not used for people to sleep, but for hospitality.

This floor on the second floor is the living room of the Fukujin family.

Anyway, let's search them one by one. ”

Xing Hechou nodded, holding the dinner knife and pushing open the doors of the Japanese room.

Fukujin Miyoko's room, Fukujin Plain's couple's room, Fukujin Hirokumi's room, and a Japanese room for his daughter and son-in-law that was vacated

Fukujin Plain's study, bathroom.

After searching the six rooms on the second floor, Xing Hechou pulled out the ladder again, went up to the attic, and searched through the boxes and cabinets.

But he didn't find any family members in this family other than Fukujin Plains himself, including Emon Kyoko and Emon Shion as Li Ang speculated.

There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.

Xing He, who had gone around in a circle, went around and around again, returned to the room where the Fushen Plains couple was, and sat on the mat and rested for a while.

He is still using the fifty-year-old body of the Blessed God Plains, and after a search, he is really a little lacking in physical strength.

"The only clue on hand is this diary of the Fukujin Plains himself, which was found in the locked drawer in the study."

Xing Hechou put an old leather notebook in front of him, reached out and grabbed the lock rope of the notebook, and said softly: "I hope this diary can tell us the answer." ”
