Chapter 48: Suspicion

Gu Chong pinched a handful of sweat in his hands. The two slowly approached the staircase, and at this moment, the iron plate was suddenly opened!

Run!

Gu Chong jumped down the steps with an arrow, and the fourth brother followed closely behind, not daring to delay at all.

"Gu Chong!"

A familiar voice came from behind, forcing Gu Chong to steady his pace, and the fourth brother almost bumped into him.

"Lu Qiu is speechless!"

……

Lu Qiu Wuyan actually hid in this giant clown for a whole night, and the clothes he was wearing were scratched in several places, and his exposed skin was injured in some places.

At this time, she sat on the ground with a disgraced face and rubbed her face.

"What happened to you yesterday?" Gu Chong anxiously wanted to know what had happened, and hurriedly asked.

Lu Qiu wordlessly pointed to the scars on his body, although he tried his best to calm his mood, his tone was still a little trembling.

"I've met the clown head-on."

Although he had already guessed, Gu Chong's heart still hung in the air.

"Then how do you ......?"

Lu Qiu shook his head wordlessly, and instead of answering Gu Chong's words, he said, "I have to rely on you this time." ”

"What do you mean?" Gu Chong didn't understand what Lu Qiu was speechless.

"This time the world is a carnival world, and the core of the world is my painful experience." Lu Qiu wordlessly pulled out a fragment of a leather glove from his trouser bag. This fragment looks very old, and the background that should have been pure white has turned gray, as if it is still faintly pink.

The edges are very rough, and it looks like they must have been cut with a sharp object.

"It's ......"

Before Gu Chong finished asking, Lu Qiu said wordlessly: "This is the doorkeeper of the world this time, a piece of skin on the clown's hand." ”

Skin?!

Gu Chong was very surprised, "You didn't mean that the person blocking the door ......"

"I told you before that the barricade cannot be physically attacked, that it will not leave any scars on it, and that it is impossible to kill him. Because the Gatekeeper is an important force that sustains the world inside the Gate. ”

"That's true," Lu Qiu said silently and solemnly, "but there is one exception. ”

"In these inner worlds that we experience, there is a special existence that we generally call the carnival world."

"The carnival world is different from the ordinary world, the ghosts and goblins in it are not restrained from killing, and many of the rules that apply in the carnival world do not apply in the carnival world. And in the carnival world, there is only one key prop, which is the key to open the door, and there is no amulet. ”

"Doorkeepers can be killed, though."

"But wasn't this world my choice?" Gu Chong was puzzled, "When I chose, its name was called Clown Horror, how could it be ...... from your experience?"

"You chose it, but it wasn't your choice." Lu Qiu said helplessly, "Originally, there was no world content set in that place in the carnival world, only when enough people selected that world, the horror wheel will set the world content according to the memory of the participant with the most painful memory. ”

"In other words, you chose the carnival world, and the horror wheel decided that my childhood experience was the most painful, so it set this world according to my childhood experience."

Gu Chong didn't expect that there would be such a "play" method as the carnival world......

"It was my negligence that I didn't find out at the first time," Lu Qiu said in a low voice, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, this place,"

As she spoke, she stood up and looked out of the clown's eyes,

"This is the amusement park where my sister was killed."

"So what do we do now......

The fourth brother asked worriedly, "Two people died this morning, will we not be able to get out......

"I said, little brother, your luck really stinks," the fourth brother muttered and patted Gu Chong's shoulder.

"Now, I can only try to think back to the past and see if there will be any clues." Lu Qiu said in a wordless and suppressed tone, and Gu Chong saw the hesitation in her eyes.

This is to force Lu Qiu to be speechless, to remember the painful memories she buried in her heart and can't forget clean.

Gu Chong suddenly felt very sorry.

"What did you just say, that someone was dead this morning?"

Gu Chong walked over and helped Lu Qiu speechlessly, and nodded. "One is estimated to have died at night, and the death is within a reasonable range, and as for the other," Gu Chong said again, "the death is very strange." ”

"What do you mean?"

"That person had some contact with her this morning, but just as I was going into the house to check for clues, something happened to her."

"How did you die?"

"Uh," Gu Chong obviously didn't want to recall that scene.

"It turned into a balloon and flew out. flew into the sky and exploded and hung out three words,"

"Smile."

Lu Qiu listened to Gu Chong's words speechlessly, and fell silent again,

"Let's go back first," Lu Qiu said wordlessly, "In the carnival world, you can't stay anywhere for too long, especially me,"

"Goblins, they'll find me."

……

Lu Qiu's wordless sudden appearance really startled the others.

Xia Wei and Anna saw Gu Chong and the fourth brother standing beside Luqiu speechlessly, their eyes were full of worry.

"How did you survive the night out and still die?"

Anna was more direct, she pulled Gu Chong and the fourth brother to her side, and at the same time asked Lu Qiu suspiciously.

"Anna, what are you doing here?"

Gu Chong tried to struggle away from the hand she was holding onto, but found that although Anna looked thin, she was unusually powerful, and she hadn't shaken it off yet.

Anna rolled her eyes at Gu Chong, "Don't move, I'm saving you." ”

After speaking, she continued to stare at Lu Qiu in front of her without saying a word.

"Tell me, why are you still alive?"

"Why can't I live," Lu Qiu said in a flat tone, as if he didn't mind Anna's strong hostility towards him.

"Nonsense," Anna said in a serious tone, "everyone knows that in the inner world, no one can spend the night outside the safe house. ”

"It's also Brother Gu who is so innocent that they actually brought you back," Anna took out a dagger from the bag she was carrying, the blade was shiny, and pointed straight at Lu Qiu without a word.

"It's true that no one can survive a night outside of a safe house."

Lu Qiu was speechless and faced the dagger glowing with cold light, and his face did not change.

Listening to Lu Qiu's wordless words, Anna held the dagger and took another step forward.

"Looks like you're not a newbie anymore."

"Well, you should know that there is an exception to this."

Lu Qiu was speechless, and the dagger that Anna was holding suddenly trembled. Her face was full of shock, as if she couldn't believe Lu Qiu's wordless words.

"You mean ......"

"Carnival world," Lu Qiu said wordlessly, as if he was loud.

"Our world this time is a carnival world."

Anna's grip on the dagger suddenly relaxed, but it was only for a moment, and it was obvious that she would not be easily persuaded by Lu Qiu's wordless words.

"I don't believe it," said Anna coldly, "I've been through the carnival world too, and it can't be so peaceful. ”

"Compared to you, it's more likely that you're being impersonated by a ghost."

As soon as Anna's words fell, Gu Chong looked at Lu Qiu speechless in shock. It turns out that the ghosts of the inner world can still pretend to be outsiders?

Then this Luqiu is speechless, it will really be ......

Lu Qiu Wuyan obviously accepted Gu Chong's eyes, and read doubts and a trace of doubt from them.

"I can pack tickets, this world is a carnival world."

"How can you guarantee it?"

"Because the world was created from my memory, I can certainly guarantee it."

Lu Qiu stood in place without a word,

"When I was a child, my sister was brutally murdered in the mirror house of this playground, and her killer dressed as a clown and cut off her head alive."

"My sister and I used to secretly bury a time capsule there under the Ferris wheel."

"On a pink pony on the merry-go-round, there are traces left by my sister with a marker."

"My sister used to be the most fond of red balloons sold at amusement parks."

The more I thought about it, the clearer the details of that year became, and when I said this, Lu Qiu's wordless hand had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

Gu Chong saw that her eyes were a little bright.

Anna's hand holding the dagger slowly lowered, her guard was not as strong as it had just been, but she still didn't intend to fully believe Lu Qiu's speechlessness.

"You said we had to check these things before they counted."

"Until then, you have to stay in this house, and if you run somewhere else, don't blame us." ”

So, everyone except Lu Qiu Wuyan walked out of the secret room to find the clues that Lu Qiu Wuyan said.

Gu Chong too.

Lu Qiu was speechless and left alone in the secret room, engulfed in darkness.
