"My name is Zhou Guoqiang, and I am the mayor of the puppet tourist town." The middle-aged man opened his mouth and introduced, "Our puppet tourism town, there are well-known intangible cultural heritage puppet shows, and on this basis, we have added entertainment facilities that young people like now, so you are guaranteed... You guys like it. ”

Zhou Guoqiang's gaze still fell on Su Yun's body, Su Yun was adaptable, from the chill on his back at the beginning, to now turning a blind eye.

She calmly observed her surroundings, the houses in the town were made of green bricks and black tiles, and there were many moss growing on the bricks, and there were also many creepers, which looked a little old.

There are basically more than a dozen puppets hanging under the eaves of each house, which echoes the theme of Budai Town.

The puppeteers are about seventy or eighty centimeters long, both male and female, all of them are very delicately carved, their expressions are vivid, they are crying and laughing, they are frightened or angry, and they are dressed in different costumes, some in classical costumes and some in modern costumes, and none of them are repeated.

In this quiet night, under the dim light of the fire from the old lanterns, the eyes of the dolls seemed to be staring directly at the player, and the breeze blew the silk threads, driving the puppeteers, as if the puppeteers were moving their eyes with the player's movements, and it looked very frightening.

The girl who was crying with Xu Mengmeng screamed in fright, and unconsciously approached Fang Yi's side, seeking a sense of security, Fang Yi was considerate, he turned his head slightly and didn't know what he said in the girl's ear, which really eased the girl's fearful emotions a little.

But if you ignore the puppets hanging on the eaves, the left and right roads in front of the town are these Chinese retro old houses, there are stone lions in front of the house, and the road paved with bluestone slabs in the middle, at a glance, there is a kind of poetry and painting of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Su Yun comforted himself.

In this environment where life and death are unknown, fear is the emotion that needs to be restrained the most.

Even if you can't panic in your heart, you have to be as steady as that.

It's like a temporary overtime, and the best and worst results are the same, either be strong and get paid, or you can't resist being forced to be leashed.

Of course, she had to choose the former as much as possible.

However, she herself likes classical culture, and she also understands intangible cultural heritage, ignoring those places that make people feel frightened, in fact... It feels okay.

The atmosphere among the players is oppressive and heavy.

Zhou Guoqiang didn't seem to realize it, his face was still full of joy, and he enthusiastically introduced: "Our puppet town is old, and our ancestors relied on the performance of puppet shows, without the hustle and bustle of big cities, the folk customs are simple, the environment is beautiful, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, which is especially suitable for settling here." ”

It seems that he really wants the player to settle down in the puppet tourist town, and along the way he will introduce the shops, as well as the specialty snacks in the store, and even the houses that can be purchased or rented.

If it weren't for the fact that the shops were basically closed at night, he might have taken the players in for a supper or something.

The old players collectively wondered, did this NPC take the wrong medicine?

They had never seen NPCs with such friendly smiles and no hints of malice. You must know that there are not a few NPCs in thriller games who will eat people, and those who don't open their mouths and show their nuclear eyes are already very approachable.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, some weird, and definitely weird.

The first time a new player plays a dungeon, he knows very little about the dungeon NPC, and now he is still in a state of fear, so he only tries not to look at the puppeteers hanging under the eaves, and mechanically follows the pace of the old players, for fear of any accidents in the single place.

Fang Yi noticed that the NPC's gaze always fell on Su Yun, and he began to doubt his judgment at the beginning.

The game dungeon will drop an item that increases the friendship of NPCs, and NPCs will not suddenly go berserk and kill people after using it.

But seeing that Su Yun was still calm, his subtle movements revealed a trace of imperceptible nervousness and fear, and he smiled slightly, only saying that he was too careful.

He paused for a moment, waiting for Su Yun to step forward, showing a friendly and trustworthy smile at Su Yun, and the subtle body language expressed a kind of protection for the newcomer, but not offensive.

Su Yun only glanced at Fang Yi slightly, then withdrew his gaze.

There is a hotel in the center of the town, the hotel is still in the business stage at this time, and it should be the entertainment place that Zhou Guoqiang said, it is not open at night, the doors are closed, but the lights are on, and you can vaguely see the entertainment projects that are quite famous in modern times.

Zhou Guoqiang led the player into the hotel and said: "Today's time is not early, all the passengers are tired, I will take you to take a closer look tomorrow, everyone will sleep in the hotel tonight, the guest is the first time to arrive, the first day of accommodation is on my head." ”

This last sentence is addressed to the front desk staff.

The receptionist at the front desk was a girl in her early twenties, with a fleshy baby face, and she looked very cute.

She was bored fiddling with the abacus beads, and she didn't raise her eyes, Zhou Guoqiang's smile stiffened, frowned and raised her hand to knock on the counter to signal, the girl reluctantly lifted her eyelids, her eyes swept over the player, and when she saw Su Yun standing at the end, her eyes lit up, and her attitude changed visibly for the better.

"Okay, okay, welcome." She was even a little nervous, standing up straight, smiling a little shyly, and laughing at a pair of dimples on her cheeks.

Su Yun was inexplicable.

Only then did I take the time to think about the two words in the red text marked by the system.

Old friend... And adults.

She was sure she didn't know anything other than human.

For now, all she knows is that she is being caught up in a thriller game that could kill her or gain an equivalent benefit, such as wealth, in great danger.

Other than that, everything is unknown.

She's not a legend with a special background, either.

is an ordinary child from an ordinary family, and after graduation, in order not to witness human diversity on a blind date, he chooses to leave home and work hard for his own independent life.

I didn't spell out a reason, the salary was average, either overtime, or on the way to overtime, always jumping repeatedly on the verge of sudden death.

Her head is still in a faint pain because of the lack of sleep caused by overtime.

Speaking of which, her appearance follows her mother, could it be...... What kind of legend is Mom? Know this adult?

This is unlikely.

As far as she knows, her mother is also a very traditional woman, born in a scholarly family, and after graduation, she ran to marriage and started the life of a housewife with a husband and children, except for the surrounding wives, there is no other social interaction. The conclusion was fruitless.

At this time, the system prompt sounds.

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the main quest - Qualified Traveler.] 】

【Difficulty: Beginner】

[Mission Description: From the next day, players must complete one of the puppet tourism town entertainment projects once a day, settled at 12 o'clock that night, if they are not completed, 100 points will be deducted, and if the points are settled at zero on the fifteenth day, the player will not be cleared. 】

[Players are requested to actively play the various projects of the puppet tourist town and be a qualified traveler.] 】

Su Yun frowned, rookie players have no points, and for novice players, this task is mandatory for rookie players.

At this time, Zhou Guoqiang coughed, and his eyes signaled, "Arrange a room for your guests, you can't be lazy." ”

The receptionist nodded hurriedly, "Of course." ”

Zhou Guoqiang nodded with satisfaction, and said before leaving: "Our puppet tourist town warmly welcomes tourists to settle in the town." ”

No one wanted to take his words.

Zhou Guoqiang smiled and left.

The front desk receptionist took out the door card, and did not need players to register, only said that they had already made an appointment, so they waited until now, and muttered quietly, usually get off work at eleven o'clock in the evening, which is considered overtime, and overtime pay is not given.

After speaking, he began to read his name and distribute room cards.

The first to get the room card was the man who looked like a "background board", his red hair was still hidden, and under the hood, he couldn't even see clearly.

His name is Yan An, room number 441.

The man took the room card and calmly went upstairs.

The hotel does not have a high floor, up to the fourth floor, and there is no elevator.

Then came the middle-aged man, Gao Yong, 241.

The guys in tight suits, one is called Zhao Hu and the other is Wenbao, and the room numbers are 242 and 243 respectively.

The three of them took the room card and went upstairs, Zhao Hu and Wen Bao looked a little like Gao Yong as the boss.

Looking at the 244 key card in his hand, Su Yun's eyebrows jumped when he had a friendly smile with white teeth at the front desk.

This really doesn't seem like an auspicious number.

Su Yun struggled to speak: "Can you change it?" ”

The receptionist at the front desk still smiled, "No, kiss, this is our VIP room, and the comfort is higher than other rooms." "A certain treasure customer service smell.

Su Yun: "...... do I still want to thank you?"

Then there were Song Xiaoling and Xu Mengmeng, and before the front desk handed over the room card, Song Xiaoling said, "Can I live with Mengmeng?" ”

The receptionist glanced at the two of them, "Yes, double room," she took back the room card she was about to hand out, and took another room card out, "341, take it." ”

At the beginning of these two people, there were two rookie players who temporarily changed to a double room, two girls in their twenties.

The attitude of the veteran players is very strange, they have no intention of huddle, even if there are two female players among the veteran players.

In this way, the old players except for Yan An, who lives in 441, all live in a single room on the second floor.

The remaining two rookie male players have no intention of staying in a double room, and one of them has a room number of 245, which happens to be next door to Su Yun.

For this game, old players should know more, Su Yun has many questions to ask, but those players took the room card and went upstairs, and had no intention of talking, plus because they often work overtime and stay up late, their heads are also very painful, so they can only find a chance to ask tomorrow.

So I went upstairs too.

The eyes of the receptionist at the front desk followed Su Yun until he could no longer see it.

From the very beginning, Su Yun felt strange when he issued the room card, the hotel room number was like some kind of bad taste, and the room number issued to the player all started with 4, and when he went up to the second floor, he saw that it was 241 at first glance. 2 is the floor, and 41 is the room number.

Half a point is not arranged according to the normal hotel room number.

Su Yun brushed open room 244, the layout of the room is not much different from that of an ordinary hotel, Su Yun locked the door of the room, and carefully checked the places such as getting up, wardrobe, toilet, etc., there is no abnormality.

After washing, it hurt too much to hold my head, so I changed into the prepared pajamas and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a rhythmic knock at the door.

"Knock knock—"

"Knock knock—"

Nor do they speak.

Su Yun slept a little, struggled in his sleep for a while, opened his eyes in a daze, and the knocking sound outside the door was still there, with pauses of about two or three seconds, and the strength did not change.

She still remembered the new type of porcelain, but her tired body was stained with the soft bed, and she was not allowed to get up again, so she could only force herself to cheer up, and the general turned over and fell asleep again.

After a long knock on the door, he knocked on the door next to him.

It didn't take long for a "squeak" to sound and the player next door opened the door.

She was dazed, as if she heard a frightened scream, and then stopped abruptly, as if someone had choked her throat, and could no longer make a sound, and finally there was a faint sound of gobbling up chews.

In Su Yun's dream that night, it was the receptionist at the front desk who knocked on her door, to no avail, and went to knock on the next room, and the man in room 245 opened the room impatiently and was about to scold, when he saw the reception girl's mouth grinning to an incredible arc, revealing dense teeth.

As soon as the man screamed out of his throat, he was choked by the throat of fate by the receiving girl, so that he could not make a sound.

The next eating picture is too bloody, even if it is a dream, the brain is still coded and shielded.

She seemed to hear the system in her dreams.
