"In that letter, it was said that ten o'clock in the evening of the twelfth day was the time to tell the strange story for the first time, and today is still the eleventh, and there is a gap of one and a half days in between." Pei Hongxin pushed his glasses as he spoke.

"But don't feel like there's a lot of time, there's a lot more we have to do."

Pei Hongxin drew a few strokes, and then pushed the notebook in his hand to the center of the coffee table where everyone was sitting.

Lin Sheng glanced at it, and there was a stick figure on it, roughly drawing the details of the range known to everyone in the manor.

"Due to the late arrival yesterday, the limited time, and the previous experience of everyone, we were all scared when we first arrived, so we haven't had time to focus on things outside the main building."

Pei Hongxin said as he took out the tablet in his backpack, rested it on the table and opened a picture.

It looks like a map.

"This is the manor house type I downloaded from the Internet before I came here, no...... It should be said that it is a garden type, and the house type of the main building is on the picture at the back. Pei Hongxin slid back and forth on the tablet.

Several other people couldn't help but feel that Pei Hongxin's consideration in dealing with it was indeed much more thoughtful than theirs.

Even Lin Sheng intervened in the incident because of the suddenness of the time, so he only had time to roughly search on the Internet after seeing the manor number in the distance, and then he had to get acquainted with Zhong Lei, who happened to meet.

"We came in from the south side of the estate, and the main building as a whole meets the needs of the northern hemisphere building to sit north and face south, and in addition to the main building where we are now and the tool warehouse not far away, there is a clock tower, an artificial lake, a golf course, an above-ground parking garage, a large garden, and a lot of vegetation, of course...... I guess there is no difference between the garden and the vegetation area now. ”

Pei Hongxin pointed to the various marks and marks on the picture while explaining to everyone one by one.

"I don't think we're going to be in any danger until the 'Strange Talk' officially begins, after all...... Since it has forced us to come here, we must hope that this 'strange talk' can start and go smoothly......"

Even if there is no special explanation, everyone present is very clear about what "it" in Pei Hongxin's mouth refers to.

Lin Sheng never intended to insert and dominate the topic.

First, it is a very complicated and cumbersome thing to explain the ins and outs of the matter, and they may not be as easy as the previous decrepit boy to "say what to believe".

Second, once everyone chooses to believe and attach themselves to him with relevant experience, it will greatly affect him to focus on Gu Xinyu and Liu Dongyue.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Sheng decided to be a spectator first, after all, his energy was limited and he couldn't take care of everyone.

Fortunately, the young man with glasses in front of him still looks very reliable.

"I won't be in danger now, but once the strange talk starts, it's hard to say."

Pei Hongxin naturally didn't know what Lin Sheng was thinking, but continued to talk to himself.

"So I think...... The first thing we need to do now is to familiarize ourselves with the environment. ”

"This manor has almost 500 acres of land, although it is not outrageous compared to large farms and the like, but it is definitely not small, and the road design is a bit complicated, plus now the vegetation cover, shrubs, all kinds of grass and trees are not pruned and maintained for a long time to cause it to grow into a piece."

"Once you are some distance away from the main building in a panic, you are likely to be unable to go back for a short time."

"Something can happen inside the main building at any time after the Strange Talk starts, and if we have to escape, we should at least know where we are so that we can call for help from others and get back to the room before midnight."

"That's the first important thing to note, familiarize yourself with most of the environment and features of the estate, and explore places like the clock tower and the above-ground parking garage, and I'll explain the reasons for this later."

Pei Hongxin tore off the first page of the notebook and put it back on the desktop, and then wrote on the second page.

"The second point is that I've always been very concerned about a sentence mentioned in that letter."

Pei Hongxin took out the letter that had been stored with him before, unfolded the letter and put it in front of everyone.

"'Strange stories must be real supernatural events', and there is actually a big problem about this."

Pei Hongxin copied this sentence in his notebook, and copied it again in the drought, and then put the notebook on the table, so that these two lines of exactly the same words were presented in front of everyone.

"There are actually two ways to understand this sentence, one is that 'the strange story must be true, and there must be a circulating supernatural event'."

"The second is that 'the strange story must be a strange story that is actually happening.'"

Pei Hongxin marked the two sentences separately, and then looked up at everyone present.

After seeing that they were basically expressionless or confused, Pei Hongxin shrugged helplessly.

"I know it's a bit of a mouthful, but to put it simply."

This is the first way to understand it...... It means that 'the strange story must be true and circulating'. ”

"The second way of understanding it is that 'strange stories don't have to be true, as long as they are circulating.'"

"It may not sound like much of a difference at first glance, but in reality, it's about whether or not we're breaking the rules on the letterhead."

"Why do you say that?"

Chen Rongxuan asked this question on behalf of several others.

"Judging from the corpse in the morning, what will happen if you break the rules...... I think everyone is already very clear. ”

"And now we have to choose one or the other, don't you think, that's a very big problem?"

When Pei Hongxin said this, he showed a very embarrassed look.

Lin Sheng had already thought of the question that Pei Hongxin was raising at the moment when he saw the letterhead, but like the other party, he couldn't come up with a solution to deal with this problem for the time being.

"You mean we have to choose one or the other, but I think we just have to choose one, because one itself encompasses the concept of two."

Tao Tongguang didn't quite agree with Pei Hongxin's idea of being in a dilemma at this time.

"Heh......"

Pei Hongxin couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.

Seeing this, Tao Tongguang said very unconvinced:

"Am I not right? The first way of understanding is that the strange talk must be true, and then it must be circulated, and the second is that the strange story, whether true or false, is in circulation. ”

The words fell, and the scene entered a silent atmosphere for a while.

Pei Hongxin still looked like he was sneering, then got up and walked in front of Tao Tongguang, leaned down and stared at the other party's eyes, and slowly said word by word:

"You...... And how to confirm it. ”

"That weird thing you said ......"

"It must be true?"
