Chapter 293: Batong Case Report
Chapter 293 Batong Case Report
The condition for clearing the game is to reach all the platform locations to open the map, and in the process, the players' black light point coordinates are completely revealed to the ghosts and the rest of the players.
In such a bad situation, there are now so many more green-clothed ghosts who specialize in patrolling and arresting players, which makes it impossible for people to move forward.
Feeling that all roads were blocked, Chen Tian also knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time now, so he quickly went up to the fifth floor to continue exploring clues.
When he came to the fifth floor, Chen Tian also found that this floor had become a lot of office directions, which obviously belonged to the office area of the funeral home staff.
"Split up for clues and leave a match on the desk."
After ordering Tang Xiaoice, Chen Tian specially told the other party to pay attention to looking for ignition supplies such as matches. And because lighters were not popular in that era, only the rich could afford to use them, so Chen Tian lowered his standards to find matches.
And Tang Xiaoice also understood Chen Tian's purpose after hearing this, because without matches, they obviously couldn't light the white candle and white paper lantern that they had just obtained from the fourth floor.
The two of them searched separately in one office after another, and in about three or four minutes, the two finally walked out of different offices with a little gain.
"Find a box of matches."
Listening to Tang Xiaoice's words, Chen Tian nodded slightly, and Tang Xiaoice also noticed that Chen Tian had an extra newspaper in his hand at this moment.
"What is this?"
Obviously, after experiencing the fourth level of the game, Tang Xiaoice also knew the existence of hidden clearance methods, and even understood the importance of items such as newspapers to the game's background story.
After she asked, Chen Tian did not rush to answer, but just urged Tang Xiaoice to leave here first. After all, being in this place that does not belong to the station area, Chen Tian is still somewhat worried that there will be ghosts who will climb in from the wall on the other side of the railway and block the two of them in this funeral parlor and have no way out.
Understand Chen Tian's concerns. Tang Xiaoice also nodded and agreed to evacuate at this moment. So the two of them walked down the stairs quickly, and returned to the spot where they had jumped off the wall.
"It looks like a big gain."
Seeing Chen Tian and the two return unharmed, Ouyang Shu and Hu Baimiao also joined hands at this moment to quickly pull the two up the high wall, and finally the four of them returned to the safe station area.
And seeing Tang Xiaoice's big bag of items, plus a white paper lantern, Ouyang Shu obviously understood that these were all treasures that Chen Tian had picked up from that funeral home.
But Ouyang Shu said so. But he was not at all curious about what Tang Xiaoice's bag of things was. Because Ouyang Shui knew that Chen Tian would never hand over key items to Tang Xiaoice, the good things were actually on Chen Tian's body.
"The broken shovel in the funeral home is a light point prop."
Breaking Ouyang Shu's conjecture, Chen Tian also thought that he could not fully use the yellow light point props in this game alone, so he told Ouyang Shu, maybe the other party would have some whimsical uses at a critical time.
"Look at this, this is the key."
handed the newspaper in his hand to Hu Baimiao on the side, and the moment the other party took the newspaper, he understood what Chen Tian meant.
"Let's translate it for a while."
It turned out that the reason why Chen Tian did not tell Tang Xiaoice the content of the newspaper just now was actually part of the reason that Chen Tian could not fully understand the content of the newspaper. Because this newspaper belongs to the old vertical newspaper of Xiangdao, its font not only restores the ancient vertical calligraphy format. At the same time, the content is more traditional characters, mixed with some local dialect symbols that Chen Tian could not understand.
"This is a report about the Eight Children's Station, and the content is not much different from what I told you."
At a glance, Hu Baimiao saw the headline page of Xiangxiang Daily, and at a glance saw the report on the murder of seven children who died in a row at Batong Station.
After translating the contents of the newspaper into Mandarin and reading it word by word, Chen Tian and Ouyang Shu carefully listened to Hu Baimiao's narration, and also found that the general content of the newspaper was similar to what Hu Baimiao said, that is, seven unidentified child corpses were mysteriously found at Batong Station one after another.
At the same time, after the police investigation, there was no official explanation for the cause of death of the seven children, so they quickly went without claiming the bodies. The seven child corpses were burned clean, and then this series of cases was directly designated as an accidental death on the rails.
And at the same time. The railway officials also specially invited the mage to do it shortly after, and then directly changed the name of Batong Station to Qingfeng Station, suppressing the incident with lightning speed.
Although the incident was over, the media that reported on the serial deaths refused to buy it, so they later investigated again and found that the identities of the seven children who had died had already been investigated.
"All of them are refugees with temporary residency."
He sighed slowly. Hu Baimiao obviously understood how this identity was treated in society at the time, because he had the same identity as the seven children when he was a child.
It turned out that the newspaper said that the parents of the seven children had actually reported to the authorities and asked to find their missing children. And when their children were found dead on the Batong platform, most of the parents were given gag orders by the authorities. said that if things continued to develop, their residency would be revoked. Instead, if they don't pursue the matter, the authorities will make their temporary residency official.
Under such coercion and inducement, most of the parents of the missing children chose to compromise, because if they continued to investigate, their lives would obviously be at risk, after all, the revocation of temporary residency was equivalent to a death sentence in those days, so almost none of the victims' parents dared to come forward.
But there are always one or two exceptions in the seven victims, so under the investigation of reporters and media, they finally found such a victim's parents. And under the persuasion of each other, they let the other party open their mouths and tell the incident, and said that their children definitely did not die suddenly in the accident, because their children had disappeared long before the incident.
Knowing such an inside story, the reporters also continued to investigate the matter in depth, and gradually found a clue. And after Hu Baimiao read this clue, everyone present immediately determined their next destination.
"The child went missing near the church?!" (To be continued.) )
