The next morning, everyone sat around the sofa area of the reception hall.

A thick fog still enveloped the manor, only to turn gray from the darkness and blur of the night.

Seeing that the personnel were still uneven, Lin Sheng continued to ask.

"Where's Yao Feifei?"

"I don't know, has anyone seen her?" Pei Hongxin asked a few people around him.

Everyone in the room shook their heads.

"Let's knock on the door and see, maybe we've overslept."

Gu Xinyu and Liu Dongyue were a little worried, and then they were about to stand up.

"No need, I'll go."

Lin Sheng actually had some numbers in his heart.

Walking to the door of 202's room with a long knife in hand, Lin Sheng first knocked lightly on the door.

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Sheng slammed the handle of the knife towards the handle of the door.

With a "bang", the metal doorknob was broken in an instant, and Lin Sheng immediately carefully pushed open the door and looked into the room.

Both beds were empty, and there was no oversleep.

Lin Sheng didn't go in immediately, but looked at the position of the windowsill.

A trail of blood that had not yet dried began on the side of one of the beds and spread all the way to the windowsill.

Holding his breath, Lin Sheng then slowly retreated, confirming the situation around him, but there was no abnormal change.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng turned around and walked downstairs.

Hearing the footsteps coming downstairs, the people sitting in the sofa area immediately raised their heads.

"How?"

Lin Sheng shook his head.

"Ghost bride, I'm afraid it's out of the voice."

The others gasped.

It was only about 6:15, and the ghost bride took Yao Feifei away without a sound in just ten minutes.

The number of people present has been reduced to seven.

The priority goal of the "ghost" does not seem to change, although it is estimated that several other people will be solved in the process, but the priority of the goal is always Yao Feifei's body.

Lin Sheng looked at where Tao Tongguang was sitting.

If nothing else, it will be his turn next.

"The current situation is obvious, we can no longer leave this main building, and anyone who has been alone in the fog will most likely become like Li Guang." Lin Sheng said slowly.

"The ghost bride...... It still exists. Pei Hongxin pushed his glasses.

"Yes, when I was walking with Tao Tongguang and Li Guang before, I noticed that there was also a phenomenon of vegetation becoming new in the opposite direction of the ghost fog, plus the current situation upstairs, so the answer is already very clear, the new ghost will not replace the old ghost."

"Aren't we in a dead end, then?" Zhong Lei immediately became a little nervous.

Lin Sheng pondered for a few seconds:

"According to the original plan, we can avoid the ghost bride by shifting the location......"

"But now due to the existence of the ghost fog, our action area is completely framed in the main building, if the ghost bride appears in the main building at this time, I'm afraid we will all be killed."

"So...... The only way now is to find a solution before tonight's story. ”

Lin Sheng suddenly felt a little helpless after speaking, the way to survive this incident must have been given sufficient hints, but in terms of the current situation, it is difficult to determine whether the previous two groups violated the rules on the letterhead.

There is indeed a reason why this incident continues to recover because it cannot be resolved, and this is the second strange story, and now it has become a situation of "closing the door and beating the dog, catching the turtle in the urn".

The number of "ghosts" will increase by one every time one more strange story is told, so it is likely that there will be five "ghosts" wandering around the manor during the three-day sky period between the end of the five strange stories and the time before leaving the manor......

No, in terms of the current situation, I am afraid that everyone will not live to finish the five strange talks.

"So today everyone is in the main building, let's brainstorm together, if you have any ideas, just talk about them in the group, there will always be a way." Chen Rongxuan reluctantly comforted everyone.

"Hmm...... Except for the two of you. ”

Pei Hongxin pointed to Gu Xinyu and Liu Dongyue.

"You two can only watch, not participate in the discussion, after all, it is your turn to tell tonight."

Gu Xinyu and Liu Dongyue nodded.

"In addition...... Brother Lin, aren't you going to explain the origin of this thing? ”

Chen Rongxuan pointed to the long knife beside Lin Sheng.

At this moment, because Lin Sheng did not use the overclocking ability, the blade was completely dull and black.

"Don't tell us you got it in the tool store, there's nothing cool out there." Chen Rongxuan added with a smile.

"Knowing that this doesn't help the situation in any way, it's good that I have some special abilities."

Lin Sheng obviously didn't intend to explain too much, and then without waiting for others to ask, he directly sent everyone back to their rooms.

After returning to room 302, Zhong Lei collapsed on the bed.

"Well, is this time really going to die here...... Little Brother Lin, fortunately, we are the last group. ”

"It's the same in any group, and not being able to find a way to survive is just a difference between dying early and dying late."

"Also, do you have any ideas?"

"Not for the time being, everyone can only ask for more blessings for now."

"Speaking of which...... You ......"

Zhong Lei showed some complicated and curious expressions when he said this, but seeing that Lin Sheng did not maintain his previous kindness and casualness, but had become an expressionless appearance, he thought about it and silently stopped talking.

Lin Sheng took out his mobile phone while thinking about it, and sent a message in the group to remind everyone.

[If you feel a significant drop in temperature around you, immediately hide in a closet, under a bed, or other place that is difficult to be seen, and then notify everyone in the group.] ]

Subsequently, he sent a private message to Pei Hongxin.

[202, come alone.] ]

Soon, a reply was given to the convenience.

[Okay.] ]

After admonishing Zhong Lei, Lin Sheng went downstairs to Room 202.

Pei Hongxin had already arrived first, and after seeing Lin Sheng push open the hidden door, the two walked to the depths of the room together.

"There's something you'd like to talk to me about."

"Yes."

Lin Sheng lit a cigarette, but just held it in his hand, and continued to speak:

"I've been thinking about a question......"

"Huh?"

"How do we know if we're breaking the rules on the letter?"

"Tang Cailiang's death should have given us the answer."

"That's right...... That's what we all think. ”

"Any questions?"

"Whether it's facts or analysis, at first glance it really doesn't seem like a problem."

Lin Sheng looked at the white smoke rising and paused.

Pei Hongxin didn't speak, but he also began to stare at the cigarette in Lin Sheng's hand, he was a little curious why the other party only lit it and didn't smoke.

"The letter only says a bunch of do's and don'ts, but it never says...... What will be the penalty or cost of breaking the rules? ”

"And what happened after that seems to tell us ......"

"Once you violate the rules of the letter, you will die on the spot and become Tang Cailiang's appearance."

Pei Hongxin saw Lin Sheng stop when he said this, and then suddenly came to his eyes.

"But if ......"

"Is this a trap?"

Pei Hongxin's brain was spinning rapidly at this time, but Lin Sheng's serious expression and some outrageous answers in front of him still made him feel a little difficult to breathe.

Lin Sheng realized that he seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the other party, so he sat back and let the other party ease up a little.

Half a day.

"You mean ......?"

Pei Hongxin still felt that the thoughts in his head were not very real, and looked at Lin Sheng with some confusion at this time.

Seeing this, Lin Sheng continued to speak:

"Tang Cailiang's ending makes us subjectively think that the ending of violating the rules is a tragic death."

"So the fact that the two groups that have already told the strange story at the moment did not die on the spot makes us think...... Their way should be no problem. ”

"That's what you mentioned earlier, 'Strange stories don't have to be true, as long as they're circulating.'"

"They processed the rumors that were known to be circulating into strange stories that could be told every night, and after the story was completed, they did not die on the spot like Tang Cailiang in the dream."

"Strange talk, strange talk is realistic, and we are beginning to be chased by 'ghosts'."

"Everybody, including me, thinks ...... It's the correct standard process, and it seems like the way things are supposed to go. ”

"But the letter never said what the punishment was, but we experienced what happened to Tang Cailiang in the dream, and saw the fact of his tragic death, so we defined this 'punishment', that is, 'death'."

"But if ...... Is this the perception that the 'ghosts' want us to form? ”

When Pei Hongxin heard this, he immediately remembered Lin Sheng's previous mention that "life and death are likely to be parallel".

But how can this be confirmed? If the punishment for breaking the rules is indeed death, believing what you say is likely to lead us astray......"

Pei Hongxin still has some things to consider.

"Do you remember the phrase 'Do you not leave the manor for ten days'?"

"Of course, why do we have to play this weird game? Isn't it because I'm completely trapped here? ”

"Then is Yao Feifei dead?"

“…………”

Pei Hongxin fell silent.

He remembered that Yao Feifei had tried to leave the manor, but only to get scratched on her fingers that poked out.

In this way, the cost of breaking the rules ...... It may be true that it was not a direct death.

"So...... actualization of 'ghosts'...... Isn't it a punishment from the rules......"

"'Ghosts' made us form this cognition, and then we continued to make one strange story after another reality along this method, and finally we will be completely blocked by five ghosts in the manor?"

While Pei Hongxin said this, the thoughts in his mind began to become clear.

"We thought we were all following the rules set out on the letterhead, but in fact we were constantly running on the road to death."

"So...... So far, the way we have told the 'strange story' is completely wrong, and the real answer should be the first way to understand it...... 'The strange story must be true and circulating'. ”

"Yes." Lin Sheng nodded, "That's how I think about it. ”

But how do we know if it's true? The events themselves are almost all rumors, and it is impossible for us to follow everything in detail in this place, unless there is one thing that we have personally experienced......"

Pei Hongxin was suddenly stunned in the middle of speaking.

Lin Sheng knew very well that the other party already knew what he was thinking.

"That's right...... There has to be a supernatural event that our group of people have experienced, and the answer is obvious, isn't it? ”

"I see...... That's us...... Experience before coming here......"

Pei Hongxin's voice trembled a little.

"We've all talked about each other's experiences...... So it's equivalent to circulating......"

He didn't expect this incident to be so difficult, but it seemed that it couldn't have been easier.

"If nothing else, just recount your experience before you came here, and it should be the way to survive this incident."

"As for me who haven't experienced what happened to you, I can also tell other things that I have experienced, and I can join your group and have you tell your own story, which is probably what the group is all about, as long as the person who tells it can correspond to his own story."

Seeing Pei Hongxin's thoughtful appearance, Lin Sheng also stopped his voice.

That's it...... It's already time to come to an end.

All that remains is to inform Gu Xinyu and Liu Dongyue.

Lin Sheng then pressed the burning cigarette into the ashtray on the table, staring at the top of the cigarette gradually extinguishing.

"It's almost time to go back, I'll find an opportunity to tell the two of them later, you can go out later, and the province will be thought to have some little secret between us."

"I know, at times like this...... There is no room for suspicion between peers. ”

Lin Sheng nodded, and then walked out of room 202.

At the scene, Pei Hongxin was left alone in front of the window, staring at the thick fog shrouded outside the window.

After a long time, he pulled out the letter with the rules that he had always carried with him.

Answer...... Is that really the case? ”

"Can this incident be successfully ended......

He muttered as if he were talking to himself.
