Lu Ran came to the [East] desk first.

There was nothing in the diary on the table......

As for the desk drawer, it is also locked by a three-digit combination lock.

For this kind of ordinary iron lock, Lu Ran could completely use brute force to break it...... But the current situation is obviously a test given by the mother-in-law, not to mention whether it can be broken by brute force, it is best to carry out normal decryption.

Lu Ran turned around and came to the toy accumulation area of [South].

All kinds of toys are rough in workmanship...... However, there is a 3X3X3 "Rubik's Cube" here that is brand new and very exquisite.

Lu Ran put away the "Rubik's Cube" for the time being, and then took out the watercolor painting pressed on the lower end of the toy.

The child's painting style depicts the happy appearance of a family of three holding hands.

Lu Ran, who had played a lot of puzzle games before, first observed the reverse side of the watercolor painting and found nothing peculiar.

"So what?"

Lu Ran closed the curtains and turned off the lights in the room.

When darkness falls, the fluorescent part of the ink painting is immediately revealed.

The little boy who was led in the middle by his parents showed a weird fluorescent smile, and important information was also displayed.

The father, the little boy and the mother were written with the numbers '1, 2, and 7'.

In addition, with the lights turned off, a cross (+) shape is reflected in the thick cloth curtains, the meaning of which is not known for the time being.

Get the password.

When Lu Ran opened the curtain again, the scarecrow in the cornfield moved two hundred meters towards the farm again...... Pressed for time.

Use the three-digit code to open the desk drawer and obtain the important item "Ink" from the [East] drawer, as well as a reminder note.

The note reads, "Maybe there's some secret in the Rubik's Cube?"

Lu Ran stared at the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and first tried to restore the Rubik's Cube, but nothing happened.

"Could it be related to the '+' reflected in the curtains? Do you need to turn out of the cross pattern on each side? ”

To be honest, Lu Ran is not very good at the 'Rubik's Cube', and after fiddling with it for a long time, he finally made each side show a '+' pattern.

Click!

The Rubik's Cube disintegrates.

A retractable "fountain pen" pops out, and a second note is obtained in the cap of the pen.

"Boys wear the same costume when they write."

There is a longer delay on the Rubik's Cube.

The scarecrow had moved a distance of 500 meters again, and the scarecrow was clearly separated through the window, the scarecrow's terrifying appearance, and some kind of tentacles wriggling inside the straw.

Time is running out.

The wardrobe was opened, and there were more than a dozen pieces of clothing inside.

Judging from the prompt content of the note, it was for Lu Ran to find a special outfit.

Through the eyesight he had cultivated for so long, Lu Ran found a coat with a drop of ink on the neckline when he was rummaging through his clothes...... Obtain "Coat"

"The decryption should be done......"

After Lu Ran took the pen, put on the ink, and put on the costume of the little boy when he wrote.

Immediately entered a strange state of writing, sitting at the desk on the east side, writing hard in the diary.

By the time Lu Ran came back to his senses, the written records left in the past had been completed in the diary.

"It's this!!"

It's not a boy's usual diary at all.

In his diary, he mentions the boy's sick psychology and writes about an extremely evil technique.

As for the manufacturing method of [Evil Scarecrow], the whole production process is very bloody and takes several years.

At the age of three, the boy killed the animals on the farm and planted a special straw with their carcasses as feed.

When the straw is ripe, each straw needs to be soaked in human blood for several days before it can be used to make a scarecrow.

After the basic form of the scarecrow is completed, it needs to be fed with human flesh.

The 'feeding' here is slightly different in that the flesh is cut off and placed inside the scarecrow.

Attract predators such as crows and vultures to feed...... As these creatures eat, the straw entangles and absorbs them, gaining a portion of the carnivorous power.

Then comes the opportunity.

According to the diary, the little boy who made the scarecrow was always waiting for an opportunity.

He needs the [blood full of affection] in the body of his loved ones to completely activate the scarecrow.

Therefore, the little boy chose to be actively exposed.

The sacrifices he used to make the scarecrow were all from the children who played with him on the surrounding farms......

When the matter was revealed, the farmers in the area gathered and prepared to burn the 'son of evil' alive.

His mother tried her best to protect her only son, but her husband knew that his son was the reincarnation of an evil demon and that he should never be allowed to remain in the world.

Trying to kill his son, he accidentally hacked his grief-stricken wife to death...... Causing [blood full of sorrow] to splatter on the boy.

The father, who is in complete madness and rage, is desperate to kill his son with his own hands.

The boy pretended to run away and took refuge in a thatched hut where a trap had been carefully laid, using the trap to incapacitate his father, and then thrust his wife's face to pieces with a nail rake to obtain [blood full of anger].

With the enraged peasants completely surrounding the farm, the little boy walks through the underground passages that have already been set up and arrives in front of the scarecrow to perform the final evil ritual.

Fusion of sorcery.

The scarecrow and the little man merge completely, and easily slaughter the group of torch-wielding farmers, sucking their flesh...... For some of the farmers who were willing to follow him, the little boy raised them to be faithful believers.

…………

This is the end of the real story.

At the end of the diary is a key to leave the room.

The events described in the diary are completely different from the original story in terms of the main perspective.

The original story is based on the vision of a scarecrow, and in the eyes of the scarecrow, only the little boy who created it is a good person, and his parents and the surrounding farmers are cultists.

In fact, the real story is recorded in the diary, and the root of the problem lies with the little boy.

"Human nature is inherently good...... Why are there such inherently wicked people? ”

Due to the long time spent in the Rubik's Cube, there was no trace of the scarecrow in the cornfield.

Zilazila!

Only between the cracks in the walls of the room, a large amount of straw continued to overflow outward, and even wrapped around Lu Ran's ankles.

"Hahaha......" Immediately after, a scarecrow head inlaid with two human eyes appeared on the window.

Lu Ran had no will to fight, so he used a chainsaw to cut through the straw that bound him, and before more straw invaded the room, he used the key in the diary to open the door of the secret room.

Airplanes!

Lu Ran's head was dizzy.

As his vision gradually cleared, Lu Ran found himself standing in front of the "red door", holding a key to the dormitory.

This is the bedroom that the lady arranged for Lu Ran to really enter the castle.

It's just that Lu Ran looked at his phone, half an hour has passed, and the banquet is about to start.

Hurriedly put down his luggage, changed into a more formal outfit, and hurried to the restaurant as fast as possible.
