Chapter 143: Sweet Town (7)
The syrup left on the facility had turned a semi-solidified black, and although it was daytime, the light in the sugar factory was dim, and the cold wind gusted, and every now and then something was blown by the wind and made two noises.
Jiang Qi walked to the office in front, the items inside were a little messy, and he needed a flashlight to find clues in such a dark environment.
Jiang Qi covered his nose and waited for the dust to disperse before he sat down and opened the work log of the sugar factory he had just found.
Strangely, the sugar factory did not work much for most of the year from February to October, but in November the sugar storage tank was suddenly opened to reheat, and then the record was gone.
In addition, Jiang Qi also found an old brochure, which probably said that the people of the sweet town are simple, the sugar making technology is superb, and it has a history of nearly 100 years, and can make the sweetest syrup in the world.
There are also some information about the sugar factory in the office, including the Howard family, which belongs to the family along with half of the sweet town.
Jiang Qi put her things away and walked out of the office, which was even darker outside than when she came in.
The sugar mill is huge, with half-open windows and old sugar equipment making an unpleasant hiss in the wind, as if it is going to move itself in the next second.
Jiang Qi didn't know about these facilities, and they seemed to be a bit primitive and not highly mechanized.
Bang, bang
Somewhere the parts made a cool noise in the cold wind.
Jiang Qi raised the flashlight and turned his head, only to see the old facilities shrouded in shadows.
In front of me was the place where the smell was strongest, and as soon as I walked away, I saw a large bucket stacked in the corner, which was stained with blackened syrup, and the lid on the barrel was very tight, and there was no sign of it being opened.
But Jiang Qi thinks that the contents of this bucket are not much better.
When she saw the bucket, she felt bad, just like when she first saw the large sugar storage jar.
Jiang Qi took out two pieces of waste paper found in the office and padded them, ready to open them to take a look.
As soon as I opened the lid with my hand, a strange sweet smell came out, and I couldn't help but want to taste it.
However, it was also the moment the lid was opened, Jiang Qi heard a strange sound, it was quiet here, and he heard it clearly enough, it came from the barrel.
Just as he was about to start again, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and several players on the second and third floors arrived.
"When did you come here? Did you find anything? Tian Shanbao asked with a little concern.
"Just arrived." Jiang Qi leaned sideways to make way for them to look backwards, "What about you?" Found them? ”
"Nope." Cheng Hui sighed, "The innkeeper, the driver, and the player didn't see any of them, what is this?" ”
"Just open it and see." Jiang Qi said calmly, the flashlight seemed to sweep over their shadows on the ground unintentionally.
The evil spirits she had seen last night had no shadow except in the kitchen.
The four players looked at Jiang Qi first, and then at each other, but none of them stood up first, and after the silence, Cheng Hui stepped forward, lifted Jiang Qi aside, and took away the lid that was sealed by syrup together.
The richer, sweeter flavor overflowed, so bewildering and so disgusting.
"What the hell is this syrup, it smells so sweet." Luo Zhiqin couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"yes, how can it be so fragrant." Liu Ying couldn't help but answer.
In the next second, Jiang Qi raised the flashlight to shine in, and everyone's faces changed.
There is nothing else in the bucket, but two players of 202 and 303!
This bucket is not big enough to fit two people.
Half of their bodies were buried in solidified syrup, and the skin on their arms, heads, and upper bodies had fallen off, and the syrup had stuck together and twisted into shape.
Jiang Qi relied on their hairstyles and clothes to distinguish their identities, and he didn't know how, so he was inexplicably relieved.
"There are only two of them, and what about the other one?" Qi Zhen looked around
The other person said 305, and as for the NPC drivers, they didn't count them.
Cheng Hui looked at the two players in the bucket beyond recognition, "Look at this situation, there is less bad luck, and I don't know which container it will turn into syrup amber." ”
The two players disappeared in the middle of the night and suddenly appeared in the barrel of the sugar factory, and it was still so miserable that anyone would think that the remaining one would not be much better.
Jiang Qi calmly looked around and gloated, and continued to observe the two corpses in the barrel.
They didn't believe that she didn't cooperate with the copy of 305 Xie Chaoci, but there was still a bit of a rivalry.
This is how the players of the Advent play in the solo encounter, and their training never stops at the training ground.
"Ho ......"
One of the heads crammed into the bucket opened its mouth slightly, and a faint sound escaped from its throat with difficulty.
This scene frightened Zhou Donghao, who was just bending down and looking down at the bucket, to take two steps back, "! He's alive! ”
Jiang Qi immediately looked over, the player of 303 was still alive, but he couldn't last long with half a breath hanging like this.
It is more painful to live like this than to die.
"It's a pity that he can't speak like this, and he can't ask anything while he is alive." Qi Zhen frowned.
There's no way they're going to get the 303 player out, and even if the Tier 4 healer player is here, they won't be able to save such a person.
Tian Shanbao stood behind and stared quietly at the head in the bucket with its mouth still moving, his eyes were completely different from the one he had shown before.
He already knows what is going on with this 303 player in the bucket, he can read part of the memories of the dying person, which is better than him in the game, but playing and exploring the solo book is his strong point.
In the last memories of player 303, he was tricked into eating the yellow syrup, and then was covered and swallowed by a group of evil spirits with rotting bodies and syrup-stained bodies.
It seems that many people have died in this sugar factory, and the truth that players are looking for is what they died.
"There are still a few sugar storage tanks outside, will it ....." Liu Ying said and looked in the direction where the sugar storage tank was.
Qi Zhen thought for a moment, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
The group turned their heads and walked towards the sugar storage tank, Jiang Qi stopped, and his palms lit up with thunder and threw them at the 303 players who were hanging in the bucket.
"Who's going up this time?" Qi Zhen asked.
The four of them looked at the player on the third floor.
Jiang Qi didn't speak, he chose the largest with a flashlight, and the sugar storage tank that was also built later climbed up the metal vertical ladder, and the sound was especially clear in the dark and silent space.
The lid on the sugar storage jar was not covered, and there was a layer of dry, hard and blackened syrup inside, but the sweet and greasy taste did not disperse, and that feeling made Jiang Qi dizzy for a moment and wanted to jump down.
Jiang Qi grasped the vertical ladder tightly, turned around, turned his back to the open lid of the sugar storage tank, and looked up.
Above was a high platform facing the sugar storage tank, part of the sugar factory's facilities, but when she saw it, a chill rose in her heart for no apparent reason.
