Chapter 16: Unraveling the Mystery
Lu Qing and Akai returned to the restaurant and saw Xu Zhen eating breakfast. "Morning! Did you sleep well yesterday? Xu Zhen greeted the two with a smile.
Akai yawned and stuffed a slice of bacon into his mouth: "I'm sleepy, I don't feel like I've slept enough." ”“
"Now that there are fewer and fewer tourists left, do you have any clues about who the ghost is?" Xu Zhen's words made the two of them cheer up instantly. Lu Qing frowned, holding his chin and analyzing: "I don't know much about Zhang Han, he has almost stayed in the room since he arrived here, so he is very suspicious." ”
"The two otaku in 602 seem to be brainless idiots, and they can basically rule out suspicion." Akai added with bread in his mouth.
"He Xinmei has been with us since her roommate's accident, and she has experienced supernatural events together, so the possibility that she is a ghost can basically be ruled out."
Among the other students, Su Bai and Zhou Ying are noteworthy. After all, they have also experienced supernatural events, of course, this is just some of my one-sided opinions, the first day has just passed. The ghosts are very hidden, and we have to test everyone more carefully. The three of them analyzed, and other tourists also went downstairs for breakfast one after another.
"Early." He Xinmei sat beside Lu Qing with a tired face, it seemed that she didn't sleep well last night. It's no wonder that anyone who stays in a room where someone who has been haunted by the dead will be scared, not to mention beware of ghosts that may appear at any time.
The same goes for several others. "Is everyone here?" Lu Qing asked.
"Brother Qing, the two otaku in 602 didn't come. Has anyone seen the two of them? ”
Su Bai and the others, who lived next door, replied: "After they went to the ninth floor last night, they never came back. The door to the room was kept closed. After hearing this, Zhang Han agreed: "I didn't sleep all night yesterday, and there was no movement next door." ”
Xu Zhen frowned, he sighed and looked at Lu Qing, and the two were silent. "Brother Qing, are they ...... Killed by a ghost," Liu Mengxue asked weakly.
Everyone immediately understood what the deaths of these two people represented: the way of life that Lu Qing explored didn't work!
Lu Qing felt a splitting headache at the moment, why? Aren't water and bracelets a way out? Based on the few people who died on the first day and various clues, my reasoning is not wrong! Why are Liu Hao and Wu Qiong still dead?! He raised his head and looked around at the few people in front of him, who was it? Who's the ghost in disguise?
"Three people died last night, namely Ma Qin, Liu Hao and Wu Qiong." Akai suddenly spoke: "I think the ghost should have killed Ma Qin who returned to the room first, because he triggered the dead end." However, Liu Hao and Wu Qiong no longer have bracelets, why were they killed by ghosts? ”
"Maybe the ghosts can kill people as they want, and the so-called way of life is used to confuse us!" Sun Si put forward his opinion.
"No, if you do what you say, it's more than capable of killing us all in one go. Zhou Ying and I won't escape from it either. Su Bai retorted.
"Yes, I saw it too, and after it killed Ma Qin, I escaped. If it was as powerful as you say, I would have died a long time ago. Zhang Han also stood on Su Bai's side.
Yes, if the ghost is so powerful, why can it let tourists escape from its hands three or four times?
"Wait! I seem to understand something......" Lu Qing seemed to have some inspiration flashing in his mind, and yesterday's picture was played back as quickly as a slideshow...... So that's it! This mission is just too vicious!!
"What's new in you?" Seeing a confident smile on the corner of Lu Qing's mouth, Xu Zhen inexplicably believed that he had really found a way out! Lu Qing glanced at everyone coldly: "In order not to cause everyone's panic before, we hid one thing from you. ”
"Brother Qing, do you want to tell them ......?"
"In fact, at the beginning, there was a ghost hidden among the tourists in this tour group!"
As soon as these words came out, they stirred up a thousand waves. As expected, there was a great commotion.
"You, you're a liar, aren't you? Are you saying that there are ghosts among these people at the scene? Liu Mengxue was nervous and about to cry. Zhou Ying also felt incredible: "The ghost disguised as a tourist? Impossible! He Xinmei had always been on Lu Qing's side, and his words made her feel a little surprised, and after reacting, she subconsciously observed the other people around her.
Qian Feng and Sun Si were surprised, and subconsciously jumped to the side, wanting to stay away from others. The three boys, Zhang Li, Zhao Nan, and Su Bai, seemed calmer. Zhang Han frowned, thoughtful.
Taking in everyone's reactions, Lu Qing continued: "Not only that, but there is a powerful ghost in this hotel itself. In other words, there are two ghosts slaughtering tourists all the time! ”
"What?!" Xu Zhen and Akai were also deeply shocked by his words.
Lu Qing stood up unhurriedly, walked in front of everyone and explained: "The survivors who encountered the supernatural event for the first time are me, Akai, Xu Zhen and He Xinmei. We saw Jiang Ping's body in room 605 and were immediately hunted down. When we fled to the second floor, the body was gone. The second time was Su Bai and Zhou Ying, who saw the female ghost in room 604 and successfully escaped from the scene. Finally, it was Zhang Han, who escaped from the room after witnessing Ma Qin being killed in room 601. ”
"Have you noticed? What do the survivors of these three events have in common? ”
"I see! It's the room! We all escaped from our rooms and got rid of the female ghosts! Akai reacted instantly.
"That's right! In fact, the way of life I analyzed before was correct, and the conditions for ghosts to kill people were indeed bracelets and water sources. It's just that I've overlooked one thing: the room. That's the third rule that restricts ghosts! It can only kill people in the room! ”
Obviously, Ma Qin of 601, Jiang Ping of 605, and Li Linlin and Wang Hang of 610 were all killed in the room by the ghosts in the hotel because they triggered a dead end. And Xu Tian, Lao Tao, Liu Hao and Wu Qiong died at the hands of ghosts disguised as tourists!
This ghost disguised as a tourist was very cunning, he deliberately chose to kill Xu Tian in the hot spring, and misled me with the bracelet that Zhou Ying had left behind, making me ignore the existence of another ghost. I always thought that the rules I had explored were to restrain tourists, but I couldn't be more wrong! These rules are used to restrain the female ghost in the hotel! Speaking of this, Lu Qing's scalp was numb.
The ghosts on the mission are not only powerful, cruel, but also extremely cunning! The thought of having to face countless such ghosts in future missions made him unwavering when he had always been confident. Can I really escape this hellish place???
And Lu Qing's inference made Xu Zhendai empowered. The fourth mission is not as simple as imagined! It only says that there is a ghost hidden among the tourists, but it does not tell the dreambreaker that there is another ghost hidden in the hotel itself! If it weren't for a talent like Lu Qing who analyzed the hidden clues in advance the next day, then this mission would definitely be a group annihilation!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen looked at Lu Qing with gratitude. I had also discussed privately with Lao Tao before, why these two newcomers received the difficult task of the veteran as soon as they came up. Now he understands that Lu Qing and Akai themselves are high-quality talents! If they are asked to take on the task of newcomers, I am afraid that they will be able to pass it soon. This is equivalent to letting players with good equipment go to the novice village to brush alone, and in order to achieve balance, the space will naturally give them the corresponding difficulty. At the same time, he was also excited about the arrival of Lu Qing and Akai!
In time, they will become leaders among the veterans! God willing, they must be assigned to our third district!
Xu Zhen hadn't told Lu Qing before that the space would automatically assign the Dream Breakers to various trick domains after they completed their first mission. There are currently four zones in the space, of which the fourth zone is the most powerful, and they have a full 12 veterans; It is said that the captain of the 4th district has already carried out 8 missions and is a very remarkable wise man! He is also a very mysterious existence in the space, and the dreambreakers in other districts are in awe of him.
Next is the second district, which is far behind the fourth district, with only 8 veterans. There are 5 in the first district, and the weakest is the third district, plus Xu Zhen and Lao Tao, a total of 3, and now Lao Tao has also sacrificed. This is also the main reason why Xu Zhen was hit before.
