Chapter 2 Have You Ever Gone Deep into Nightmares?

Hit by that punch, Xu Yunge was so painful that half of his head was about to rot, and he could almost hear his brain swaying inside. If I didn't guess wrong, the horror legend had already begun, he took the benefits of the evil spirit, and the tragic fate was no longer going back. Dragged into a game full of evil spirits, he soon has to face the most troublesome question of his life: how to win the game and survive.

Carefully recalling everything that happened in the bathroom of Fang Cai Xingchen Internet Cafe, the scarlet rune in his mind told him that the punch attack was not an illusion. He has 1 attack left to hit, and any attack will cause the curse to come back, and he will surely die on the spot.

In the blur, Xu Yunge seemed to be still sitting in the toilet, and he felt a pair of hands sticking out of the drainage hole, dragging him into the narrow pipe, turning him into a live human sausage.

No, don't touch me again! Get out of here! Xu Yunge struggled as hard as he could, and he was sober in a cold sweat.

When he opened his eyes, Xu Yunge was slightly stunned, he found that he was not in the toilet of the Internet cafΓ©, but appeared in a strange banquet. Many people were eating, drinking, chatting and talking, and it was noisy and chaotic. The night was amazingly cold, Xu Yunge was lying on the table and fell asleep, and a drunk man pointed at his table and smiled: "The bad seeds at this table are really not good, just drink so much wine and lie down, hahaha." ”

"Have I been taken to another world by a ghost? Is this the human world or the underworld? ”

Xu Yunge's gaze swept to the other people at the table, the diners who were eating the banquet, their faces were extremely vivid, and it was difficult to distinguish whether they were people or ghosts. Xu Yunge guessed that he might have successfully completed the ceremony, and was immediately dragged into the scene of the "Horror Urban Legend" by some kind of evil ghost. And the situation is a little wrong, because the rest of the people at the table are not lively drinking and eating meat, but the other people at his table are all asleep, making Xu Yunge guess: These people around him are most likely cursed people with secrets.

Looking around, Xu Yunge tried to tell where this banquet was. Because the scarlet text prompt in his mind tells him that the horror legend has begun, he needs to solve this terrible nightmare and complete the mission challenge to survive.

[Mission: Pale and Sorrowful Hidden Xiqin]

[Plot: The evil ghosts who are high-spirited and lingering at the banquet do not see each other, and they think they have become living people between drinking and drinking, and they are not aware of the outsiders who take the opportunity to blend in, and this is a great opportunity to investigate the core of the grievance! 】

[Main story: Before the ghost awakens, find the truth about the transformation of the dead into a ghost!] 】

Decedent? Whoa? Xu Yunge glanced at the audience, even if the meaning of the mission plot explanation was unclear, it could almost be called deliberately making things difficult for himself, but in order to survive, no matter how strange the scene was, he had to accept it, and he quickly observed useful information.

At the current white wedding event, the deceased's name is Hu Shoulan, who died at the age of 78. It stands to reason that an old man of this age can be regarded as having enjoyed a lifetime and leaving peacefully, and a white banquet invited more than a dozen tables of guests, which is rare in big cities, so Xu Yunge should be in the countryside at this time.

Now that the quest has been released, if you want to understand the plot of the story, finding the protagonist of the story is the best solution. Xu Yunge was affected by the curse at this time, and a casual punch in the face would trigger death, so he was not in a hurry to startle the snake, but thought about his real situation.

The current situation is very similar to the popular time-traveling web dramas. As long as you complete the mission, you should be able to leave this hellish place. The power of the curse is both powerful and terrifying, and as long as you don't deliberately clash with others, the possibility of sudden death from the curse is not high. Because, if there are other participants, they must also enter with a curse, and the players who voluntarily curse are not necessarily good, and they may become dangerous when they are cornered.

Curse to block death is just to drink a donkey to quench thirst, and what can really change one's life against the sky should be all kinds of legendary blessing treasures and magical props. If you can't complete the game to convert the curse into a blessing, and spread this fatal curse that will kill you by touching, what is the difference between this and cancer grinding to death?

Thinking of this, Xu Yunge touched his nose with dark red blood scabs, and looked at the middle-aged man who was collecting money and keeping accounts. Since the horror legend requires him to complete the game's mission, it means that there must be a clue here, or that the ghost has died unjustly. Xu Yunge's goal is to find the truth about the deceased becoming a ghost as soon as possible and complete the task to get out.

However, looking at the courtyard, the middle-aged man surrounded by everyone raising glasses was full of smiles, and he was happy to collect money. He smiled wrinkled like a chrysanthemum blooming, wearing linen and filial piety but holding a bowl of cow drink, how like an elderly filial son who had just died of his mother? After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yunge walked towards the woman who received the money and toasted, at least her expression was quite restrained, and she should be a little better at communicating than the male host.

The woman opened the account book, her expression was slightly unnatural, as if she was afraid that Xu Yunge would rip money: "Yo, you are also Hu Xiaoyu's classmate, right?" Let me see...... Xu Yunge, gift money of 200 yuan...... The young man is very sensible! Look at your appearance is quite peugeot, why just look at you well, turn your head and break the appearance? ”

Xu Yunge was shocked, he didn't expect the task to be arranged so quickly, and he arranged a false identity for him without waiting for him to fool him, and answered: "I drank too much and accidentally got it, is there a band-aid?" I also want to talk to Xiaoyu about something. ”

"Yes, yes, you go to the hall and wipe it with alcohol cotton, there is it in a green box, Xiaoyu is in a bad mood, and she will cry to her grandmother for a while, I can't leave now because of something, don't disturb her." The woman glanced at Xu Yunge a few more times, and then continued to collect money with a smile.

When Xu Yunge walked to the hall, the people at the table who were "drunk" together almost woke up. Then, there was an exclamation from the table, and a woman at the same table suddenly covered her stomach and touched it, then howled and cried, and then seemed to touch something, her expression was stunned, and she screamed in panic.

"Noisy, noisy, noisy! Drunk and dizzy! Where did this woman come from, and what does it mean that Bai Xishi is crying here? It's your mother who dies?! The husband and wife who received the money did not go, but a table of bandit-like relatives from all walks of life, who heard the shouting and walked to the table.

Xu Yunge's scalp was numb, and the exchange style of the rural residents who were pulling their hair and pulling their heads in front of him could be regarded as dying on the spot.

Without waiting for others to say more, he walked into the hall and searched: "Is Hu Xiaoyu here?" I'm looking for band-aids and alcohol swabs. ”

Finding things is just an excuse, Xu Yunge walked into the hall and saw a row of gardens and a posthumous portrait. The eyes of the deceased Hu Shoulan looked straight ahead, her eyes were extremely weird, and when she moved around, she felt that she had been staring at herself, and she was a little uncomfortable.

Avoiding the sight of the statue, Xu Yunge opened the storage box and casually dealt with the injury, while the couple was busy collecting money, the rest of the relatives surrounded the person at the table before, and searched alone in the house. There are no traces of domestic violence in the room, and it is not like a homicide scene, Hu Shoulan's wife left early, and there are still portraits and urns in the other room.

Otherwise, everyone will become a ghost after death, which is too child's play. There are so many car accidents and tragedies that have not seen black clouds covering the sun and resentment, judging from Xu Yunge's ritual in the toilet and the strange corpse, simple death should not give the deceased infinite power.

What really caused the change was the curse.

The plot of the mission did not name who the surname of the ghost was, but only circled the scope, saying that the ghost was among the dozens or hundreds of diners and hosts who ate at the banquet. The name of the mission is even more obscure, and those who don't know the secrets behind the scenes can't understand what it means. Maybe the plot hasn't unfolded yet, or I've missed some clues, am I too anxious? Be calm, just play a live-action puzzle game that clears the level with one life, and don't be careless.

Xu Yunge failed to find something, heard a cry, followed the sound, there were two girls in the room, one of the girls was crying, and the other girl was comforting.

Judging from the clothes and luggage of the two, the tow box was not opened, the luggage was still sealed, and they looked like they had just returned home. Staring at the girl's face and carefully reading Hu Xiaoyu's name, a picture flashed in Xu Yunge's mind, and his heart shrank suddenly: a depressed female college student committed suicide by jumping off a building, the school claimed that she did not bear any responsibility, the parents abandoned the corpse of the school gate to ask for compensation, the surveillance video was confusing, what happened to the young people? !

At the beginning, Xu Yunge was lying on the hospital bed, and after reading the news, he felt extremely depressed: why are people who are healthy and not suffering from illness not satisfied with a healthy life, and those who want to live are tossed by the disease to the point of being inhuman, but in the end they still cannot escape death. Is this how God teases mortals?

But when Xu Yunge recalled all this and realized that Hu Xiaoyu in front of him was not dead, and the time and space he was in was not normal, his heart moved, and he seemed to understand the secret hidden behind the mission. Pushing the door in, the two girls immediately showed a vigilant expression on their faces.

"Who are you? What do you do in our room? Stop, I see that you are a good person, why do you go to the girl's room casually? The other girl looked vigilant, and when she saw Xu Yunge's sick appearance, her face was full of distrust and suspicion.

To be bad! The task arrangement actually only gave a gift money, but did not really give an identity. Xu Yunge was shocked, and said tentatively: "I'm not a bad person, I just heard that Hu Xiaoyu has been in a bad mood recently, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to think about hurting herself suddenly for a while, so I want to talk to her." ”

Hu Xiaoyu, whose eyes were red, raised his head and said suspiciously: "We don't know each other, and you don't need to worry about my affairs, don't spread my affairs everywhere?" ”

"Baozhi, you can go out too, I'm tired and want to take a break."

"Alas...... Okay, call me if you have something. The girl who was called Baozhi reluctantly agreed, and withdrew with Xu Yunge. Her real name is Wang Baozhi, Xu Yunge found that the other party was not very clever during the conversation, and it was easy to be tricked, and soon asked her to be Hu Xiaoyu's college classmate, and the two were best friends with a good relationship.

The current situation is that Wang Baozhi knew that Hu Xiaoyu had something on her mind, so she was on vacation, so she accompanied Hu Xiaoyu back to Hujiazhuang under the pretext of travel, but she didn't expect to meet her family for a funeral as soon as she entered the door. Hu Xiaoyu's parents heard that the two had a good relationship and were classmates, so they invited her to play at Hu's house for a few days, Wang Baozhi was embarrassed to refuse to leave on the spot, so she could only agree to come down and was forced to pay a gift money.

It can be seen that Hu Xiaoyu is reluctant to stay at home, and Wang Baozhi has no good impression of Hujiazhuang. Xu Yunge tried to ask Wang Baozhi about part of the plot, but found that Hu Xiaoyu's personality was relatively closed, a bit like himself who was abused by his aunt back then. Wang Baozhi was also very distressed about this, because she couldn't help her friend.

As Xu Yunge described and confided in depression, Wang Baozhi's eyes lit up. She felt that Xu Yunge was a boy who knew how to observe carefully, although he didn't say the origin of his identity in detail, but he felt that he knew this aspect very well, his attitude was also good, and his vigilance was lowered a lot.

The trouble is that Hu Xiaoyu is alive and well now, and he doesn't seem to be a ghost at all. As far as Xu Yunge knows, depressed patients are usually conservative, closed-minded, and fragile, and if she does not have the will to take the initiative to help herself, it is very difficult to communicate and enlighten. Most suicide people usually think that there is only a dead end left in their lives, and that no way out is a dead end, and if you want her to give up suicide, in addition to letting her vent her negative emotions and clear them, she also needs to give her a way to live.

At present, Hu Xiaoyu is sometimes easy to over-wronged herself, burying her pain in her heart and not wanting to hurt others. But Xu Yunge has seen the news, even if Xiaoyu really can't think about returning to school and committing suicide, he should go back to the university and jump off the building, the time of this terrifying legend is clearly not right.

Xu Yunge wanted to ask something, but he saw the people at his table before coming to the lobby one after another to find excuses, remembering that they might all be aliens with curses and ulterior plans, and his body and mind suddenly tensed.

As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man with a beard asked mysteriously: "Hello, we are diners attending the banquet, and we want to ask where the toilet is, and ...... I heard that this Hujiazhuang is haunted, do you know these things? ”

Is this guy an idiot?! When strangers meet for the first time, there is still this way of asking for information? Aren't you afraid that these things that look like living people will suddenly wake up and take off their human skin and become ghosts, I'm especially afraid of being suddenly hit by a slap and dying on the spot, okay! Xu Yunge was extremely speechless in his heart, but based on the other party's impatient expression and tone, he probably guessed the identity of the other party.

That's right, they should all be cursed like themselves. It's just that in terms of the details and background of the excavation mission, the information and methods they have are obviously very amateurish, and they seem to be just a group of novices who are similar to themselves. It could even be an innocent person who was forced to get involved in the curse, after all, the monster attacked him that night, and no one or any surveillance camera captured it.

Of course, the matter of ghosts and gods is difficult to fathom. They may also be pretending to be stupid demons, waiting for players who think they are clever to approach, and then go out and kill people.

"Haunted? We have just arrived for less than half a day, and we happened to encounter a funeral, if it is really haunted, and it is not your family who left, why did you come to the banquet? Also, what do you mean by this bearded man just scaring girls, I don't think it's a haunt, it's a ghost in your heart, right? Xu Yunge took the lead in attacking, and in the case of self-concealment, he transferred the risk of exposure to the other party as much as possible.

When he asked this, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, knowing that he had said the wrong thing and aroused the suspicion of others. But as soon as Xu Yunge's words came out, the expression of the woman who was holding her stomach before twitched even more obviously, and she almost didn't have time to hide it, so she had to quickly turn around. One of them, a black-haired young man, had a somewhat overindulgent and sickly face, frowned, and didn't say much.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not a jobless vagrant, and I'm here to eat and drink when I see someone else holding a banquet, right?" Wang Baozhi pouted and complained in a low voice, she was also a little panicked just now. Thinking about it, the poorer the place, the lower the lower the quality limit, pretending to be confused and rubbing the banquet, and wanting to pack up and run away after eating and drinking, it is not strange to do any strange things.

It's just that the other party is 6 adults, Wang Baozhi and Xu Yunge, 2 men and women who look like college students, both sides seem to be afraid of conflict, so they just turned around and returned to the banquet after a few perfunctory words. Xu Yunge breathed a sigh of relief, his current life was like a layer of papier-mΓ’chΓ© lanterns, which made him very uncomfortable but helpless, just thinking about completing the task as much as possible and turning the curse into a blessing.

"What a bunch of weirdos, I need to be careful when I sleep at night."

Xu Yunge comforted casually, and was about to leave, find a wardrobe attic to hide in order to avoid accidents, but found that Wang Baozhi grabbed the corner of his clothes, and asked with embarrassment and fear: "Actually...... At night, Xiaoyu has to keep vigil, she feels very scared and wants me to go with her, but I am actually very scared, why don't you go with me? ”

Xu Yunge hesitated slightly, and suddenly a prompt came from his mind.

[The task completion level has reached 20%, and if the completion level exceeds 60%, you will have 1 conversion qualification!] 】

It seemed that other people had also received this message, and for a while, some of the diners at the banquet invariably turned their heads to the lobby.

For a moment, the noisy banquet was terrifyingly quiet, Xu Yunge trembled slightly, he felt that the problem about the powerful ghosts was probably due to this vigil.

A man at the banquet shouted: "Please Huai Ling Dao Chief!" ”
