Chapter 12: A New Cursed Thing and the End of the Game
The four of them followed Xiaoying to her room and sat down, Luo Han took out his mobile phone, clicked on the recording, and took the lead in asking:
"Xiaoying, now can you tell me why 'Xiaoxi' died?"
Xiaoying thought for a while, and then began to tell the story of "Xiaoxi".
Xiaoxi is also a girl in the village, and she grew up with Xiaoying and is the best friend, which is why the relationship between them is so deep.
Later, one day, a foreigner came here to spend the night, because there was no hotel in the village, so the warm-hearted Xiaoxi let the other party live in his own home. After staying for one night, the other party left, leaving a lot of money for the accommodation.
After that, some rumors spread in the village that the reason why Xiaoxi was able to get so much money was because something unclear happened between her and the stranger.
Although there is no real evidence, everyone's attitude towards Xiaoxi gradually became cold, and then, all kinds of cynicism and gossip also hit Xiaoxi like stones.
In the end, Xiaoxi was so humiliated that she committed suicide by jumping into the river late one night a year ago. And today, it happens to be her memorial day.
After listening to Xiaoying's story, everyone fell silent. Luo Han seemed to have grasped some key point, and continued to ask:
"Then where is 'Xiao Xi' buried in the end?"
Hearing this, Xiaoying also recovered from her memories and sneered:
"Buried? No one in the village bothered to look for her body, and I was the only one who built a well-dressed mound for Sister Xiaoxi by the river! ”
At this time, the water tank in the kitchen suddenly came with a loud noise. Xiaoying got up and went to the kitchen to check the situation, leaving only Luo Han and his party still sitting in the living room.
"I guess I already get it."
Luo Han lowered his voice and said to everyone,
"The thing that curses the root should be in the mound by the river, it is the relic of 'Xiao Xi', and the dangerous thing should be water!"
"That's why you saw weirdness in the bucket behind Xiaoying before entering the village?"
Yu Li also figured it out and asked rhetorically.
"That's right! That's it, because she ended up drowning in the water, the water is the most dangerous! ”
"I see, I see. Thank you, Lohan. ”
After Zheng Tuo and Wei Kai listened to Luo Han's analysis, their whole people suddenly disappeared into the air. They should have completed their tasks and returned to the real world without a hitch.
Luo Han speculated that their missions should be respectively "What is the cause of 'Xiao Xi''s death?" And "Where is the grave of 'Xiao Xi'?" ”
Now that the two of them have successfully left here, it has also proved that their speculation is correct, and the most important thing now is to go to the river to find the root curse.
Suddenly, Luo Han noticed that Yu Li was still beside him and did not leave, so he asked:
"What? Beauty, are you reluctant to leave me? ”
Yu Li glanced at Luo Han, then sighed and replied:
"What good things are you thinking? I'm tasked with finding the root curse in this game, and it looks like I'm going to have to be with you until the end. ”
As if she remembered something again, she asked:
"By the way, since you said that the water is dangerous, but the mound is by the river, will it be very dangerous there!"
Luo Han also sighed and said:
"Of course, after all, how can we easily obtain a root curse without any danger? There will definitely be danger there. I'm planning for us to stay here for one night and go there tomorrow morning. ”
Yu Li nodded and agreed to Luo Han's plan. At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in the kitchen, and Xiaoying, who had gone to the kitchen before, never came back.
"Oh no, Xiaoying has an accident!"
Luo Han reacted quickly and ran to the kitchen, while Yu Li followed closely behind.
He ran into the kitchen and saw the middle-aged man who had disappeared before, soaked in water, getting out of the water tank, walking towards Xiaoying step by step, stepping on a wet footprint on the ground with each foot, and she was already scared stupid in place.
"Xiaoying, run!"
Seeing this scene, Luo Han hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiaoying's hand and tried to pull her out of the kitchen, but Weird had already grabbed Xiaoying's other hand and tried to drag her into the water tank.
Yu Li ran over, also grabbed Luo Han's hand, and helped together. But the strength of the two people couldn't catch up with the strange power, and Xiaoying was still slowly approaching the water tank.
In desperation, Luo Han directly used the cursed object [Family Portrait] he obtained in the previous game. Ten Yin Yang coins were consumed, and a weird one came out of the photo and fought with the wet weird one.
The wet weird couldn't continue to hold Xiaoying at this time, so he could only let go and deal with the other weird with all his might. And Luo Han finally pulled Xiaoying out of the kitchen.
"Take us to the well-dressed mound of 'Xiao Xi', only she can protect us!"
Luo Han roared at Xiao Ying, who was already scared stupidly.
Xiaoying also reacted, and ran out of the room with Luo Han and Yu Li and went to the river.
Thirty seconds later, the duration of the [Family Portrait] ended, and the summoned weirdness returned to the picture. And the soggy weirdness that lost its suppression chased after Luo Han and his party at an extremely fast speed!
"Look, that's, that's Sister Xiaoxi's clothed mound!"
Xiaoying ran out of breath, pointed to a tombstone by the river and said to Luo Han.
The three of them came to the tombstone together, and at this time, the wet weirdness also chased after them. Just as it stretched out its hand and touched Xiaoying, it suddenly wailed, as if it had touched a high-temperature soldering iron, and quickly retracted its hand.
"Sister Xiaoxi, are you protecting me?"
Xiaoying looked at the tombstone with tears in her eyes.
Luo Han saw a trench coat in front of the tombstone, and realized that this should be a curse at the root, and after reaching out and touching it, a white light flashed, and the game was over.
"The Root Curse has been found, and all players are considered to have completed the game!"
Luo Han opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed, in front of him was the ceiling of the rental house he was familiar with. He rolled over and got out of bed, feeling that this game was not as thrilling as the last time, and if it was all this difficulty in the future, it could be regarded as pie in the sky.
Immediately after, he shook his head again and said with a wry smile:
"How can there be such a beautiful thing? I guess I'm lucky this time. ”
Then he noticed that the clothes on his body had also changed, and it was the last trench coat he touched. Immediately afterward, some information reached his mind:
"Cursed Thing—Windbreaker of Resentment."
"A trench coat that condenses Xiaoxi's resentment towards the villagers and her longing for Xiaoying."
"Each time you use it, you need to consume ten Yin Yang Coins, and you can explore the inner thoughts of the person in front of you or weird."
