While this crude physics may sound ridiculous, any ridiculous approach is worth a try in the face of extreme urgency, and is much better than being overwhelmed and rushed.

As if frightened by Qi Zheng's sudden behavior, the originally restless paper figure immediately quieted down, and it shook its head again with inertia like a tumbler, and the shaking amplitude became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped completely.

[The system has detected that the manic negative emotions of "Paper Man Thoughts" have been temporarily cleared and the crisis has been resolved]

With 30 seconds left in the countdown, the red light warning on the system panel finally turned into a green light symbolizing safety, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the practice of wearing sunglasses on the paper figure is a bit ridiculous, in the end, it still temporarily seals the "soul" of the paper man.

There are still several players in the player who have not yet come to their senses, including the Hawaiian-shirted man who was "robbed" of the magic mirror.

Qi Yan smiled harmlessly at the other animal: "Thank you for your sunglasses, I may not be able to return them to you until the party is over." ”

The corner of the other party's lips twitched: "... You are welcome. ”

"You don't have to pay it back." He added.

Qi Yan looked at the paper figure wearing sunglasses on the opposite side again, and seemed to be very satisfied with his work, this paper figure instantly had a bit of a cyber underworld, psychedelic and funny.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu, who had failed to answer the phone, came back, and she knocked on the door of 405: "What's the matter?" Who locked the door? ”

Qi Zhen had already arranged a set of rhetoric, and pretended to be distressed: "The door was closed as soon as the wind blew just now, the lock seems to be broken, we are trying to open the door for you, but something is stuck, and you won't be able to open the lock for a while, you may need to wait for a while." ”

Mrs. Xu outside the door stopped knocking: "How can this be? I've never been in a situation like this..."

Qi Jiu: "Why don't you try to call the lockpicker and ask?" It's like this lock is completely stuck, and we don't necessarily have a way to fix it..."

Mrs. Xu stood in the dim corridor and nodded stunned: "You're right, I should call a professional to solve it, but tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, the locksmith may not take the job, I'll try my luck..."

"The locksmith used to be our neighbor, but unfortunately it disappeared later, and the world disappeared like evaporation, and everyone in this building is the same, but it doesn't matter, I believe everyone will come back, go back to the place where it all began, I'll call him, there is his phone number in the corridor..."

Mrs. Xu seemed to be caught up in a long and vague memory again.

"By the way, my daughter can't live without me, she may become irritable in the house by herself." Mrs. Xu suddenly remembered something and said busily.

Qi Jiu: "Don't worry, we will take care of your daughter." ”

"That's good, that's good, Nian Nian has experienced some things, and her personality may be more impatient, and she needs to be a little more patient with others..."

Mrs. Xu chattered, her footsteps gradually disappeared into the stairwell, and the players in Room 405 who pricked up their ears breathed a sigh of relief.

The female player with her hair in a bun walked up to Qi Yan and handed him a cigarette case, Qi Yan shook her head politely and smiled: "Thank you, I don't smoke." ”

"What a good boy," she raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Qi Ji unabashedly, "But you have Mrs. Xu's phone number, which surprises me." ”

That's the point of her initiating this conversation.

Qi Yan pursed his lips quietly: "It's just lucky." ”

He apparently had no intention of explaining how to get the phone number.

The female player with the bun was silent for a moment, and then laughed meaningfully: "Normally, I like to team up with 'lucky' players, but the main quest of this dungeon is special, and it doesn't seem to be very friendly to players who have teamed up to pass the book, right?" ”

As she spoke, her gaze lingered between Qi Yan and Qi Xiaonian, and the meaning was clear.

Qi Yan smiled slightly: "That's the case." ”

The character and position of the other party are not clear, and Qi Yan has no plans for in-depth exchanges.

In order to watch the party according to the rules, the players cut off all light sources in 405 except for the TV.

The noise of snowflakes flickering from time to time on the TV screen became the only source of light in this confined space.

Under the light of the screen, Qi Yan noticed that the group photo of the six people hanging above the TV had changed.

There is an extra face of a young woman in the group photo, and the face that was originally ripped out appears, and the young woman stands in the third position from left to right in the second row, and puts her hand on Mrs. Xu affectionately.

At this point, there are still four potholes left in this photo of six people.

Qi Yan glanced at the young woman with a restrained smile in the photo frame, and then looked at the funny paper figure "Nian Nian" wearing sunglasses on his side, and already had a guess in his heart-

The face of this person who resurfaced in the group photo is the original appearance of this paper man.

Nian Nian is Mrs. Xu's daughter, and Nian Nian is dead.

Qi has reasonable suspicion that the four people standing in the back row in the group photo are all Mrs. Xu's children.

Qi Yan quickly went through all the clues in his mind.

Now that the main mission is to help Mrs. Xu's family return home before the fifteenth, the next thing he needs to figure out is to determine the number of Mrs. Xu's family and who these family members are.

After all, the reunion of Mrs. Xu's family needs to come at the cost of the death of the travelers, and the theme of this dungeon is likely to revolve around "death and reunion".

The image of the paper host appeared again on the TV screen, which was originally chaotic, and time began to speed up.

The host did not have a microphone in his hand, and said to the audience off-screen in a face-to-face gesture: "On this New Year's night, at the moment of family reunion, please believe us, we will do our best to bring you the most wonderful visual experience, this is an unforgettable and memorable night......"

Suddenly, the young man who had just been forced to open the door for the paper figure suddenly approached the TV screen like a patient with high myopia, and the TV screen was already small, and his strange behavior blocked the view of the players behind him.

Some players immediately protested: "What are you doing? You block the screen as a whole person, how can we watch the show to find clues? ”

The young man stared at the screen in a strange manner, and after about two seconds, the young man turned his face in confusion, and he cautiously asked, "Don't you think it's strange?" The subtitles don't match what the host said at all......"

"What are you talking about?" Some players are also puzzled.

While questioning, the young man's question sent a chill down their spines, and a certain bad premonition quickly permeated the closed room 405.

Because, on the TV screen, there are no subtitles mentioned by teenagers.

"Subtitles? Where do the subtitles come from? Some players continued to question, but their voices were obviously much weaker than before.

The puzzle on the young man's face became even heavier: "Huh? Can't you see? Isn't there always subtitles at the bottom of the screen..."

The young man's voice was getting lower and lower, and he finally realized that something was wrong, and the young man looked at the screen again, his voice trembling a little: "But... I actually saw the subtitles..."

Qi Yan hurriedly asked: "You said that the subtitles don't match what the host said, so please tell me, what is written on the subtitles." ”

The young man's face turned pale and he muttered: "Just now, the words flashed on the subtitles were "On this night to welcome the New Year, at the moment of family reunion, please don't believe us", but I remember that the host said "Be sure to believe us"..."

The young man's voice grew lower and more indistinct, "It's also possible that I'm wrong... But here I really have subtitles on the screen..."

Although there is only one more word "no", the meaning conveyed is the opposite......

Qi Yan seemed to suddenly understand something, and he nodded thoughtfully: "I know." ”

The young man looked up at him in disbelief: "What? ”

Qi Zhen: "I remember that Mrs. Xu said that you accidentally broke the porcelain bowl when you were preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, right?" ”

The young man nodded: "It's me, I'm not used to doing these jobs, so I messed up, I'm sorry..."

"Well done."

Saying that, Qi Yan picked up a porcelain cup in his hand, he almost didn't hesitate to let go of his hand, and directly dropped the teacup on the cement floor with a "bang", and the porcelain cup shattered into countless small and sharp porcelain pieces in an instant. ”

During the New Year, you always have to say something auspicious.

All the players were stunned, and Qi Ji's sudden move confused them.

Qi Xiaonian blinked in confusion: "Brother, you are..."

"Only players who have broken something tonight will be able to see the hidden subtitles on the TV screen. ”

At the same time, Mrs. Hui's attitude towards this type of player will be very bad, and there will be advantages and disadvantages.

But Qi Zhen wants to prove his guess, and he wants to see the subtitles on the screen with his own eyes, so this drawback is negligible to him.

After all, it is better for others to see it than for themselves.

Qi Jiu's explanation made everyone's eyes widen in disbelief, but he had already explained this, and no one made the same move, as players, they subconsciously avoided all behaviors that could lead to a crisis, and breaking things on Chinese New Year's Eve was naturally among them.

"Then you... See? Qi Xiaonian asked him.

Qi Yan looked at the TV screen, his face changed slightly, and nodded.

"There's something really interesting in the subtitles."

Chapter 189: Year (8)

On the TV screen, the paper host cracked a chilling smile: "During the party, if your TV screen is stuck, this is normal, please wait patiently for a while, the party program will return to normal within a minute, please don't change the channel easily, otherwise we will be sad." ”

And Qi Jiu, who broke the porcelain cup, saw a different subtitle: "During the party, if your TV screen is stuck, this is not normal! The program will not return to normal on its own, so please change the channel immediately!"

Qi Zhen stared at the subtitles thoughtfully, it was really interesting, the host asked the audience to wait, and the subtitles asked to change the channel immediately, the two conveyed the opposite meaning.

"But how can we be sure that the subtitles or the host are telling the truth?" After Qi Xiaonian understood the content of the subtitles, his brows furrowed.

Qi Zhen: "I'm inclined to believe in subtitles, but there is no definite evidence yet... Let's wait and see, and it's better not to get stuck. ”

The evening performance on the screen officially began, and the similar-looking paper people performed on stage one after another, and on the brightly colored paper stage, the paper people made of white paper appeared very eye-catching, as if it was the most appropriate white space in the high saturation scene.

The white space is flowing, and the bizarre visuals make people's minds dizzy.

The dance party is also very underworldly, with acrobatic dancers wrapping ropes around their necks and spitting out their long tongues like hanged ghosts to perform a series of unaesthetic acrobatic moves on the ropes.

All the performances are like mourning music played at a funeral, and the cheerful expressions of the paper people make the flowing □□ a kind of absurd sadness, and no one can laugh heartily because of such a performance, but the players are limited by the rules and must cooperate with laughter and applause.

The lights in Room 405 are all turned off, and the old television is the only source of light in the room, and a series of subtle but eerie changes occur in the room under the light of the TV screen.

There was originally a bottle of soda drink in front of Qi Jiu, and the beverage packaging was printed with a photo of a male artist in the 80s, but under the light of the screen, the facial features of the male artist on the package gradually blurred and flattened, and finally degenerated into the appearance of a paper man.

Qi Yan looked at it for a long time, and the paper man on the wrapping paper even stiffly cracked his mouth and smiled at him.

The dark corner of the room also heard the sound of swallowing melon seeds from time to time, obviously Mrs. Xu had been fooled out by Qi Jiu, but the strange sound of swallowing melon seeds was retained.

Almost all players heard this creepy noise, but no one took the trouble to light it up, because no other light sources were allowed in the house during the party, and no one wanted to know what was snorting melon seeds in the dark, and if they would inevitably lose their pleasure when they saw something in the underworld, or if they couldn't see it.

Obviously, as the party progressed, Room 405 had been "polluted" to varying degrees, something unspeakable had crept in, no plasma, no violence, but they were silently destroying the player's pleasure.

Including Qi Jiu, the pleasure value of all players has decreased to varying degrees.

Just as his senses gradually became chaotic, Qi Jiu's gaze condensed slightly as he looked at the TV screen.

At this time, a children's choir was being staged at the party, and Qi Ji looked intently, and through the noise of snowflakes flashing from time to time, he noticed two suspicious black spots in the chorus of children's queues.

Qi Yan took a closer look, these two black dots were the two "little actors" whose faces were hollowed out, just like the group photo of the six people hanging on the TV series, the position above the neck of these two young actors was filled with irregular black holes, as if someone had prankfully gouged out their faces with their fingers, leaving only two black holes with rough edges.

Qi Yan asked Qi Xiaonian beside him: "Can you see it?" The two little girls in the second and third rows from the right, their faces were also cut off. ”

Qi Xiaonian let out a low "ah" and shook his head: "No, what I see are normal paper figures." ”

Qi Jiu's brows twisted, he quickly regained consciousness, and his mind turned quickly-
