However, no traces of blood were found, and nothing else suspicious was found. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

They never got any valuable clues from Ding Liying's mouth, only that she kept saying "cat" and "don't kill me". She was completely insane, she was in constant panic, and her originally fatter body had also lost weight, her face was sallow, and her eyes were bloodshot.

Several people dug for a while, probably more than ten centimeters of soil, but still didn't see anything.

"Shi Yuan, did you misjudge? It doesn't look like a corpse is buried. Mi Xiaoling said.

"Don't be so complacent, dig deeper and give it a try."

Shi Yuan said, suddenly stopped. He took out a sticker from his backpack on the ground and attached it to his arm. As a result, he was digging at an astonishing speed, digging several meters deep in the blink of an eye.

"Not here." Shi Yuan muttered to himself, came to Liu Tong's position next to him, and continued to dig.

It wasn't until he moved ten meters away from the stick that his shovel finally touched something that was distinctly different from the dirt.

"This is it!" Shi Yuan picked up speed again.

Seeing what was buried inside, everyone felt a shock.

It was a corpse that had been buried in the ground for at least two days. Although the corpse was not yet decomposed, it was almost unrecognizable, with flesh and dirt mixed together. Symmetrical blood grooves were drawn on the sides of his cheeks, resembling a cat's whiskers.

Looking at the deformed face, those words resurfaced in Shi Yuan's mind.

Long time no see. Cat.

"That's him. Let's look for him and see if he has any playing cards on him. ”

Hao Jiu's clothes were still relatively neatly dressed, Shi Yuan and Luo Yasen searched in his clothes pockets, but they didn't find anything.

Shi Yuan recalled some fragments from his previous mission, and couldn't help but wonder, should he cut his stomach open?

In the Cabin Bar mission, they must slice open the bellies of the dolls to find out who is the one the quest requires. However, those are just dolls, no matter how realistic they are, they are just dolls. But the current one, once a living person, was a villager in this village.

"Find the playing cards from someone's corpse......" Royasen silently read the words from the mission text message, his hand already gripping the hilt of the machete.

"Wait a minute, Luo Yasen," Shi Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Luo Yasen's movements, "Think about it again, where will the playing cards be." ”

"We searched all the pockets and trouser pockets, but we didn't find any playing cards, and ......," Luo Yasen said as he looked directly at Shi Yuan, "and besides, he didn't feel any pain anymore." ”

"I know. However, let's analyze it again. ”

As he spoke, Shi Yuan's gaze fell on Hao Jiu's face.

There are several blood marks on his face, forming the shape of a cat's whiskers.

Is that just to be associated with the word "cat", or is there something else?

Shi Yuan moved a little closer and observed more closely.

The light of the flashlight was very bright, illuminating Hao Jiu's face more clearly than during the day.

Those few "whiskers" seem to be still oozing blood.

The image of a mailbox suddenly appeared in Shi Yuan's mind.

"Maybe the cards are in his mouth." Shi Yuan said.

Luo Yasen glanced at Hao Jiu's face and stretched out his hand to break Hao Jiu's mouth.

A blood-stained playing card was among them.

"Sure enough, it's here." Royasin said, taking out his playing cards.

"I said, can we go back?" Mi Xiao said with a grin.

"Hao Jiu's body can't be placed here like this." Shi Yuan said.

"So what do you want to do? Do you want to bury it back? Mi Xiao asked.

"Yes. In order to avoid trouble, this is the only way for the time being. ”

After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the shovel and quickly restored the ground to its original state.

It looks no different here than before, no one would have thought that there was a corpse buried in the ground here, let alone that this corpse had been dug up.

Back at Royasen's house, everyone looked at the playing card and took a picture of it.

On the front of the playing card is a black cat, with two large and bright eyes, but they are red, and the two diagonal characters say JOKER, just like ordinary playing cards. The back is painted with pale red fine lines, and the following two sentences are printed on it: "The hard-working people come to the palace, but they are not necessarily really lucky." The land of the dead hides secrets, which are the guiding lights of life. ”

Shi Yuan said: "The mission text message said that we want to enter a certain building according to these two sentences on the playing cards. The only places involved are 'Imperial Palace' and 'Land of the Dead'. Perhaps, the location information is here. ”

"However, how can there be any palace in Dark Raven Ridge Village? It's just a small village. The 'land of the dead' probably refers to a cemetery. Liu Tong said.

"It doesn't have to be a real royal palace. And, you know, a cemetery is not a building. ”

"The cemetery should have a house for the grave keeper to rest, right? Maybe it's there. Mi Xiaoling said.

"However, the house is too small, we already have six people now, and the text message says that seven people are to be found, so there are thirteen people in total, and the area of the house is not enough. I don't think the Land of the Dead is the building we're going to go into. You see, it is said later, 'The land of the dead buries secrets, and that is the guiding light of life', this sentence should not be the location of the mission, but the clue to solve the mystery. ”

Everyone read those two sentences carefully again, and they all agreed with Shi Yuan's analysis.

"In other words, these two sentences, the first sentence is a hint of the mission location, and the second sentence is a clue to the mystery, right?" Liu Tong asked.

"Yes, that's it," Shi Yuan nodded, "The clues were given before the mission actually started, and this situation has not happened before." And, when we think of the land of the dead, we can easily think of the cemetery. If the quest starts and we enter the designated building before this clue appears, then the clue is useless, because we can't leave the building during the three hours of the mission. ”

"In other words, we're going to go to the cemetery in advance and see if we can find a way or clue that will allow us to escape from that building?" Liu Tong said.

"Yes. Today is the 11th, and the mission starts at 0:00 on the 14th, which is actually equivalent to the night of the 13th, and we still have two more days to spare. It's too dangerous to go to the cemetery now. Of course, in Raven Ridge, even going to the cemetery during the day is dangerous, and we can only proceed with caution. In this way, everyone has a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will go to the cemetery to look for clues. Shi Yuan said.

Returning to his room and looking at the playing card, Shi Yuan fell into deep thought. He looked closely, not missing a single detail, hoping to find some clues in the playing cards themselves.
