Qiu Xuan really it, she originally thought that except for the Wendigo that was killed by Qin Jiuyuan last night, there was only the one left that had just been led to the basement by Lu Xingzhou.

She really didn't expect that the humans killed by Wendigo would also become Wendigo.

That's right, Wendigo is made of dead humans, and once someone dies in the game, Zhao Ke, as a "bard", can summon Wendigo by reciting poems in front of everyone.

Judging from last night's scene, the Wendigo that killed Zheng Yunbo was made of Xiaolu, and the one that squatted in her room later was the unlucky guy that Yang Bo killed on the first day that Lu Xingzhou told her before.

Wait, at the last moment, Qiu Xuan suddenly remembered, is this one in front of her Xiaolu or Zheng Yunbo? What if they get Wendigo wrong and lead Zheng Yunbo's transformation to the basement?

Qiu Xuan dodged left and right while silently reciting aloud in his heart, "Die first before leaving the school." As she reached the middle of the hallway, a door suddenly opened, and she was jerked in by an arm.

Leaning on the sofa and pressing the weight of his body against the back of the door, Zhang Hui yelled at her impatiently, "What are you doing again?" Don't kill yourself for me, don't forget what you promised me! ”

"Isn't that for you?" Qiu Xuan was against the door with him, feeling the Wendigo behind the door pounding with a terrifying force, and she could almost hear the cracking sound of the door panel being overwhelmed.

"By the way, do you remember what the Wendigo that killed Zheng Yunbo last night looked like?" Qiu Xuan asked.

"What are you kidding! How do I remember what that monster looks like?! Zhang Hui yelled at her.

"That's Xiaolu! You even called her 'that monster'? I'm going to tell her when she comes back! Qiu Xuan also shouted.

Zhang Hui was furious, "Let's talk about it when you can really get Xiaolu back!" Now it's coming in, think of a way! ”

"That's it," Qiu Xuan said quickly as she sorted out her thoughts, "I'll jump out of the window and lead it outside, and then you can quickly find Yang Bo and take him to the stairwell on the first floor." There's a basement there, and the activation device is behind the stairwell, push him in and close the door and you're done, you know? ”

"Got a fart! Let's not talk about how I brought Yang Bo over, you jump out of the window now? Earnest? Did you know that it was snowing outside? You just run out like this in your suspenders?? ”

"Don't push it! Unless you have a better way. When the time comes, tell Yang Bo that everyone should take refuge in the basement, because Wendigo can't get into the basement, and I'll ......"

Bang!

The door panel was completely smashed off.

Qiu Xuan stood behind the sofa and looked at the two empty dark eye holes, she took a breath, and she didn't know whether to continue to answer Zhang Hui's questions or speak softly to herself, "And I'll just follow the fate." ”

After that, she jumped directly on the table, opened the window, turned over and jumped into the ice and snow.

Zhang Hui was stunned and watched Wendigo directly break through the glass to chase Qiu Xuan down, and said in his heart, "What a ruthless woman". Steady down, he ran towards Yang Bo's room.

Half of his body was stuck in the snowdrift, and Qiu Xuan had almost begun to feel his body temperature. Hearing the sound of glass shattering on the second floor, she took a deep breath and buried her whole body in the snow.

Desperately suppressing her instinct to chatter and bump, she held her breath and let herself sink into the deep snow like a corpse. In the midst of the darkness, she could feel the monster searching for her whereabouts, and several times the drooling teeth were about to puncture her skin.

I don't know how long it took, there was no movement around, and Wendigo was either gone, or maybe she was waiting in place for the stupid humans to fall into the net. But Qiu Xuan was no longer able to think, she felt as if she was still falling, until she was about to fall to the deepest depths of the earth.

When it was extremely cold, she was no longer cold. Her body began to heat up, as if a fire was burning her skin.

It was too hot, she took off Qin Jiuyuan's coat in a daze, and began to unbutton her suspender again. The words "abnormal stripping" flashed in my mind, am I going to die? She thought.

She struggled one last time, squeezing every ounce of strength out of her body and rushing to the floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor, where she pressed her face to it and looked at the roaring fireplace in the hall.

Then, she really saw the fireplace getting a little closer to her.

"Are you okay?" In a trance, she heard someone talking in her ear, and when she rolled her eyes, she saw Gu Qingyue kneeling beside her and wiping her body with something.

The sense of smell, which is no longer very sensitive, smells the rich and warm aroma of wine.

“…… Thank you. She said with a sigh of effort.

Closed her eyes and slowed down, until the skin of her whole body began to turn red and hot, Qiu Xuan really felt that she was back in the world and that she was still alive.

Wrapped in a blanket and sitting up, he took the hot water handed over by Gu Qingyue, and his brain, which was working again, suddenly remembered something.

"What about the others?" She asked Gu Qingyue in a hoarse voice.

After hearing the voice, Zhao Ke and Liu Nian hid in the room and didn't come down, Zheng Yunyuan came down once, and then said that he wanted to go back to protect Yang Luoluo, and left. When I went downstairs, I saw Zhang Hui and Yang Bo pulling, and before I could go over and ask, I saw you lying on the window, which startled me and quickly pulled you in. I just saw that you have a little frostbite, but now it should be fine, just apply some ointment when the time comes. ”

"Thank you." Qiu Xuan solemnly thanked him again.

"It's nothing, I'm a doctor. That's right," Gu Qingyue paused, looking a little hesitant, but she still spoke, "Qin Jiuyuan's room, too, has not moved. ”

"That's right." Qiu Xuan replied casually, thinking that it would be strange if he could move, it was the man who was forced to sleep by the villa.

Speaking of this forced sleep mechanism, it is actually a protective mechanism.

Every night, a random person will be selected to "force him to sleep", and the person who is "forced to sleep" will not wake up all night, no matter how much movement occurs, and that person's room will also be "absolutely protected" - nothing outside can get in, and of course, no one inside can get out.

The discovery of this mechanism is also thanks to Li Siyao. For example, Qiu Xuan was the first person to be "forced to fall asleep" on the first night, and Qiu Xuan reacted when she heard Lu Xingzhou say, it turned out that it was not that she had fallen asleep that day because she was very adapted to the environment and did not wake up all night, but because she was "forced to fall asleep".

That day, Lu Xingzhou took Li Siyao to change the ticket and thought about finding an opportunity to meet his teammates in the third camp, but he knocked on the door of Qiu Xuan's house for nearly half an hour and no one answered, at that time he thought that Qiu Xuan was too timid to open the door to strangers (Qin Jiuyuan: ...... Later, through Li Siyao, I found that there was a small "lock" icon above Qiu Xuan's door.

In the next few days, I paid careful attention to the night tour of Lu Xingzhou, and found that the room with the "lock" icon was different every night, and the people in the room would not know and wake up no matter what happened outside.

The first night was Qiu Xuan, the second night was Li Siyao, the third night was Liu Nian, and the fourth night was Qin Jiuyuan.

There is no order, it is completely random.

At that time, Qiu Xuan suddenly thought that the second night was the night Xiaolu died, and everyone arrived that night. Lu Xingzhou replied that she didn't appear that night at all, or rather, it was just a "person" simulated by the villa according to Xiaolu's prototype and thinking. In order to force the sleep mechanism to remain undetected, the person being protected is "copied" in such situations where full participation is required.

Qiu Xuan smacked her tongue secretly.

Time to return to Gu Qingyue. Gu Qingyue: "By the way, what happened?" I was in my room listening to the movement of Wendigo coming, but I don't see its shadow now? ”

"I led it outside."

"What?! It's too dangerous, you'......."

Before Gu Qingyue finished speaking, Yang Bo's mournful scream was faintly heard in the stairwell.

It seemed that Zhang Hui had succeeded, Qiu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Gu Qingyue get up and walk to the stairwell.

Zhang Hui stood at the top of the stairs, looked at Qiu Xuan and twitched the corners of his mouth as if he had been cooked shrimp, then waved his hand and said, "It's successful, what should I do next?" ”

Gu Qingyue looked at her with a frown, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Qiu Xuan looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the specifics, because it involves the identity camp." But what I can say and affirm is that Yang Bo deserved it, that is, he killed Xiaolu. ”

"What ......" While Gu Qingyue was still thinking, Qiu Xuan reopened the secret door of the stairwell.

As soon as they opened the door, they could already smell the pungent smell of blood rushing to their faces, and the three of them frowned and stared at the dark steps descending. A few minutes later, a Wendigo jumped up, covered in blood and flesh, and even tangled in a clump of hair on its sharp teeth.

The trio took a wary step back and made a defensive stance. And what Lu Xingzhou said last night seems to be right, every night every Wendigo only needs to eat one person, and it will leave on its own and no longer attack.

The monster glanced at them with its blood-stained eye holes, and then disappeared from view in a few jumps.

"Tsk, that Wendigo isn't Xiaolu." Qiu Xuan said.

Zhang Hui was silent for a few seconds, "...... So what to do? ”

Gu Qingyue: "I don't understand at all, what is called, 'Wendigo is not Xiaolu'?" ”

Qiu Xuan didn't keep her mouth shut, she regarded it as a favor for Gu Qingyue to save her once, she said: "The person who buries the bones will eventually return to the world, and the things that are infected by filth are holy." ”

"This is the word I stumbled upon to summon Wendigo, and we found out that the lodge will recover the bodies of the dead, and the Wendigo only appears after the dead in the game, so I guess the dead will turn into the Wendigo and return to the game. As for the latter, 'that which is insulated by uncleanness is holy,' I am not too sure, but we will soon be able to verify it. ”

As she spoke, Qiu Xuan asked, "Are there any bags or basins or anything like that?" ”
