Late at night, the small courtyard of the mourning hall surrounded by a strange stone forest.

Everything here looks so gloomy.

With every breath, I could feel an unconcealable stench of corpses, and the deeper the night, the stronger this corpse stench became, and it was accompanied by a chill.

Calm nights are hard enough, and nights that are calm and know that danger will happen are even harder.

The four decorators were all huddled in their rooms on the east side of the small courtyard of the mourning hall.

In order not to attract attention, they didn't even turn on the lights, and everyone found a familiar corner to sit and rest.

The blind man had better hearing, and he sat against the window, which opened slightly so that he could listen to the movement outside.

The bold mute of the artist moved a chair and sat near the gate, ready to face the unexpected at any time.

The deaf and the chosen ones could not help at this time, so they leaned back in the house to rest and recuperate.

Just as the Chosen One felt drowsy, a knocking sound came into his ears.

Rahman was awakened by the sudden knocking sound, and he asked the blind man with better ears if he had heard any knocking.

The blind man opened his mouth to indicate that there was no beating sound except for the sound of the leaves of the locust trees in the yard.

He asked Rahman if he had found anything.

In order not to create complicated information for his teammates, Rahman said that it might be an illusion he heard when he was just asleep.

After all, the rules have clearly stated, just what you hear, it is probably your own delusion.

Since the rules say so, then ignore it.

Lest when something really goes wrong, his teammates will be suspicious of him because of his previous performance.

Hearing this, the blind man said: "You have just worked the hardest, I guess you are tired, don't worry, I am listening here, and I will call you again if there is something." ”

It's not just Rahman here, it's all the Chosen ones who are working very hard at this stage.

The Chosen ones who can come in are not stupid, they know that this is a team project, and they rely on these teammates to survive.

If you perform better, your teammates will see it, even if you can't see it, you can hear it clearly.

If you are in trouble, your colleagues have a good opinion of the Chosen One and will take the initiative to help.

If the Chosen One chooses to be lazy at this time, colleagues will not actually say anything, but there will be dissatisfaction in their hearts.

When the time comes, if something happens, whether colleagues can help or not depends on their mood.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Rahman really took over a lot of the inconvenient work of the blind man, so the blind man said this to him.

It can also be seen from the dialogue that the blind man has a certain affection for Rahman.

I took out my phone and clicked on the screen, and now it is 2:11 in the middle of the night.

Even though Rahman was still a little sleepy and his brain was a little drowsy, he knew that the tranquility of the strange world had been broken, and events were about to begin one after another.

The worse the state, the more weird things start to happen.

Since his teammates didn't hear it, he planned to sleep for a while.

But at this moment, there was a strange sound of footsteps outside the house, as if something was quietly approaching, and it had come to the edge of the wall.

It felt like stepping on unrepaired weeds around you.

Not only Rahman, but also the faces of the blind and mute began to tense.

Deaf people are still resting because they can't hear.

At this time, the blind man spoke: "This footstep sound sounds very slight, it doesn't look like a human can make it, there are a lot of wild animals in the wilderness, they may smell the smell of carrion, so grope it, should we go out and have a look?" ”

The mute also said in sign language: It's better for us to go out and have a look, if we let wild cats and the like turn in and get close to the mourning hall, we may cheat the corpse.

In fact, Rahman was ready to say this, but his colleagues were not ordinary people, so they naturally knew some taboos.

Since his colleagues had said so, Rahman continued: "I also think this place is very strange, let's call the deaf man with us, lest he wake up and find that we are not there, and frighten himself." ”

Seeing that his colleagues were nodding, Rahman woke up the deaf man, who might have fallen asleep.

In fact, Rahman said that he was afraid that the deaf would be frightened, but in fact there was a potential danger here.

When he first came to the world of strange talks, the Chosen One knew that he could sleepwalk in a deaf person.

A deaf person in a sleepwalking state should belong to the friend or foe, and whoever wakes him up will attack him.

If the three Rahman go out to check the yard and the deaf person sleepwalks at this time, then they will not only have one less teammate, but one more danger.

After all, not everyone has the ability to 'wake up' their peers like Zhang Yangqing.

The deaf man was gently pushed awake by Rahman, and after understanding the situation, he walked out of the room with his colleagues.

The person who just woke up naturally felt a little cold, and the deaf man rubbed his body and said angrily: "This employer is really, let us come to such a dangerous place, let's just say, should we go back to raise the price, such as double the pay." ”

Speaking of which, the deaf man is still a little weak-hearted, in his opinion, in fact, it is good for the employer to give twice the price, and it is not good for the employer to open his mouth three times, in case the employer complains about them.

So he changed his tone and said that he was joking, let's work hard and don't let those cats in.

When the audience saw this, they just wanted to say: Dude, you are still timid, you dare to speak up with ten times the remuneration next door, and you are only three times as afraid of being complained.

And you are working hard here, and the next door is still on the way.

The grouping on Rahman's side was still the same, he himself was in a group with the mutes, and the blind and deaf in a group.

The blind and deaf were inspected near the gate and on the west side of the mourning hall.

Rahman and the deaf man visited the mourning hall and the area behind the mourning hall.

They want to make sure that there are no wild animals in these two areas, not just cats.

This small courtyard of the mourning hall is not big, but it is not small.

Rahman followed the map in his mind, observing everything around him in the dark night through the light of his flashlight.

If there is a discrepancy between the floor, windows, gates, eaves, etc., it proves that something is wrong.

But it's okay for now, I haven't found anything yet.

The most important thing tonight is the mourning hall with nine coffins, there must be no major problems here, but there will definitely be problems.

On the way to the mourning hall, Rahman also took out his mobile phone to read the rules.

Because the weird phenomenon hasn't been triggered for more than two hours, the rules may have been forgotten.

I'm afraid that there will be danger when the time comes, and I will be in trouble if I remember wrong.

At this stage, even Rahman has a lot of rules that he doesn't quite understand.

Rule 6, for example, puzzled him.

[Rule 6: If someone comes to offer incense, please determine whether he has a relationship with the person in the coffin, and if so, let him put on incense, otherwise the consequences will be serious. 】

You must know that this is a wilderness, and the road is blocked by strange rocks.

How could someone come to offer incense, but what if someone did?

The main thing is that he is not familiar with the person in the coffin, and the rules let him [please determine if he has a relationship with the person in the coffin], how could Rahman do this.

So he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his judgment.

But what puzzled him even more was Rule 10.

[Rule 10: Always remember that if a living person asks you to borrow something, you can help appropriately, it is good for you, and when a dead person asks you to borrow something, don't pay attention to it, and find a way not to let him pester you.] 】

In Rahman's view, this rule is clearly related to Rule 6.

Since the rules say so, it proves that there will definitely be living people in this small courtyard of the mourning hall.

"There are benefits to helping the living, which proves that the living should most likely not harm me, but how can I find the living."

Rahman continued to look at the rules, and he felt that there was a way to connect with rule 3.

[Rule 3: The dead are cold, but the living are warm.] 】

He could determine by touching it whether it was a human or a strange person.

This is very difficult, if it is weird, it should not be easy for him to discover his abnormality, then a reasonable excuse is needed.

When Rahman thought of this, he had already arrived at the door of the mourning hall.

It's not the first time I've been here, but every time I come here, I feel panicked.

Fingers touch the cold door, then carefully push it open.

When the door was pushed open, Rahman had to prevent some sudden danger inside.

Even if there are no rules that explicitly indicate it, he feels that it is necessary for him to do it.

Here Dimitri is much bolder, he feels that he has not broken the rules, how can there be danger inside.

Upon entering, Rahman glanced through the light of the flashlight and saw that it was similar to the last time he had left.

He had the mutes stand guard near the gate to prevent a wild cat from slipping in when they went in to check.

Rahman took a flashlight and searched for clues in the dimly lit mourning hall.

The first is to check the windows and ceilings as usual to see if there are any loose areas that could easily let the wild cats in.

How to say that I am also a person from the decoration company, I have actually checked it when I renovated here before 12 o'clock, but I am afraid that there will be any accidents.

Here it can be inferred from the rules in reverse, or it can be empathetic.

Rahman felt that if he was weird, but he couldn't show up due to the rules restrictions.

Then you must find a way to make other people or animals break the rules.

Wearing a decorator's uniform, Rahman, not to mention, does play a little bit like that.

At least in such a short period of time, he was familiar with his business.

Near some of the windows, there were even props set up by Rahman, which he could sense if something unexpected happened.

The arrangement of the coffin is also done according to the instructions of the blind man, after all, the blind man is very good at feng shui layout, which minimizes the risk of defrauding the corpse.

After checking that everything was fine, just as Rahman breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, as if some door had been gently pushed open.

The voice seemed to come from the back of the mourning hall, and Rahman glanced at the mute at the gate, and after making sure that it was not the mute who made the noise, he quickly ran to the area behind.

But there is not even a door here, how can there be a sound of the door being pushed.

"Could it be the two rooms behind the mourning hall? No way, there's nothing in there! ”

Rahman remembered that he and the mute had gone to inspect the two rooms behind the mourning hall without even a single piece of furniture, only as empty.

The main thing is that the two doors were locked, and in order not to break the gates, Rahman himself went through the window to investigate, which he was sure of.

It was these two locked gates that there was a sound of doors opening.

Thinking of this, Rahman began to tremble.

He seemed to be able to sense that something strange seemed to exist outside the wall.

Just as Rahman was thinking about what to do, the voice of a blind man came from behind him.

"Cripple, I just heard a strange sound of opening the door, so I came over to see, did you send it?"
