Because of the strong psychic ability of the patriarch, the people of the entire Chenggu Town have been kept away from doom, not to mention vicious cases such as murder for many years, even petty thefts have not happened again, until the patriarch died after being 100 years old......

Shi Youqing looked down intently.

It was quiet in the study.

"Zizizi", "Zizizi"......

The hand that looked through the genealogy froze.

"Zizizi...... Multiply...... Zizi ......"

The strange voice stuttered a little and continued.

Right behind him.

Pinching the pages of the book, Shi Youqing slowly turned around.

The wind was blowing, and the shadows of the trees outside the window moved slightly.

The sound came from a dilapidated tape recorder by the window, and after the endless noise, suddenly began to sing nursery rhymes:

“…… Come to the window, my darling, come with me,"

"Look at the stars, shining on the sea."

"There are two little stars and they play peek-a-boo,"

"And two little fish, far away in the deep sea,"

"Two little frogs, crying: 'Little tide, little tide, little tide',"

"I saw a dear baby,"

"It's time for him to sleep." ①

The air suddenly cooled a little.

Shi Youqing slowly retreated, and when he was about to turn around, a pale hand pressed on his shoulder.

【? The author has something to say]

(1) by "Come to the Window" by Mother Goose nursery rhyme.

Chapter 3: Hometown (3)

◎ "I don't want to. Shi Youqing said. ◎

"Who told you to touch my stuff?! Give me back! Give me back the genealogy! ”

The face of the sudden approach was almost distorted, and before Shi Youqing could even say a word, the genealogy in his hand was taken away by the furious landlord.

Although he was too frightened to speak, when the man turned to leave with the genealogy in his arms, he instinctively ran over to grab the genealogy.

- There are definitely very important clues in it.

I just wanted to take that genealogy, but during the snatching, my neck was somehow strangled by the other party!

The hands were like dry vines, and they almost hanged him alive.

"You want to do that with it? Don't even think about it! The man's fierce expression magnified infinitely in his eyes.

Shi Youqing shook his head, his face was full of pain, and he couldn't say a word.

Those hands contracted a little, they really wanted to kill him.

The body slid to the ground, and his mouth could not make a sound, so he could only use his hands to tap the floor hard......

One, two, three......

Fortunately, in a drowsy consciousness, someone finally came at the end of the corridor......

*

Shi Youqing woke up in the hall.

He was lying on the couch with an unusually sore neck, and when he opened his eyes, a group of people quickly gathered around.

Guo Yalan handed over a cup of hot water: "How are you now?" ”

"It's okay...... '' voice became hoarse, "You saved me?" ”

"Yalan and Feng Bin and I heard a knock knock when we were looking for clues in the attic, and when we ran down, we saw that the landlord was pinching you," Yu Ze was a little angry, "As soon as we pulled him away, he ran away, and he didn't come out after that." Can't even ask! ”

Not far away, Wang Dong walked back and forth anxiously: "How can the NPCs in the safe house kill people...... No way? ”

"Did you do something?" Yu Yifan asked him.

Shi Youqing only then fully remembered everything that happened in the study, and he looked at the nearest three people: "Is that genealogy still there?" ”

Guo Yalan: "Are you talking about the dirty book that the landlord is holding?" As soon as we pulled him away, he ran away with the book in his hand. ”

Feng Bin: "What's wrong with the genealogy?" ”

Shi Youqing sat up, his neck was very uncomfortable, he drank a few sips of water, but he was still uncomfortable, so he had to take out the medicine and swallow one, and said everything he saw very slowly.

After hearing this, Wang Dong cursed: "I know!" It must have been the psychic patriarch who caused the weirdness, that's why the townspeople turned into that ghost! This quest wouldn't be for us to find the patriarch's burial place, would it? ”

Feng Bin's focus was elsewhere: "You said that the tape recorder in the study suddenly rang at that time?" ”

"Hmm."

"Did you use the tape recorder?"

"No, I heard the sound and realized there was a tape recorder there......"

"But when we went, there was no sound in the study......," Guo Yalan said fearfully, "Is there a ...... in the safe house?"

Feng Bin: "The tape recorder can be timed. ”

"Timed...... That's right, it's probably the landlord's ghost," Despite saying this, Yu Ze's expression was also a little nervous, and he squeezed his girlfriend's hand, "Let's not scare ourselves." ”

Feng Bin continued to ask: "Do you remember that nursery rhyme?" ”

Shi Youqing nodded and read the nursery rhyme in its entirety.

"What did you do when he said that? Who knows if there is a graft? Find the original! The clue to the chess piece may be inside! Wang Dong turned around and ran to the second floor as he spoke.

"It's time to grab the tape recorder." Yu Ze didn't have a good airway.

"The memory is really good," Yu Yifan smiled and looked at Shi Youqing, "In that case, you can remember it all after listening to it once." ”

That nursery rhyme is not a popular nursery rhyme like "Two Tigers", and the words are not short, it stands to reason that when you hear it suddenly in a frightened situation, at most you can only remember some general meanings, but Shi Youqing read it smoothly as if it was an endorsement.

When others heard Yu Yifan say this, they reacted to this matter.

"Wow, you don't have that ability to remember, do you?" Guo Yalan was excited.

Shi Youqing was stunned and shook his head: "Maybe I heard it when I was a child." ”

Saying that, Wang Dong had already run down with the tape recorder in his arms, saw people coming around, and said proudly: "This is what I took down, don't rob me!" ”

“……”

Feng Bin didn't care about the tape recorder, turned around and took a piece of paper, and wrote the nursery rhyme.

Yu Yifan is the most experienced player in the house, and when he saw that Wang Dong was going to press it indiscriminately, he couldn't help but stop it: "If you don't know how to use it, don't press it casually, if there are really clues, you will destroy it!" ”

Wang Dong didn't dare to offend him: "You come?" ”

Yu Yifan unceremoniously took the tape recorder, he checked it inside and out, and skillfully pressed a few buttons on it, but the tape recorder never made any sound.

Shi Youqing rubbed the thermos cup in his hand in the distance, bowed his head and said nothing.

After a while, Yu Yifan said: "This tape recorder has electricity, but there is no tape in it, and there is no recording, so it is impossible to artificially play nursery rhymes on a regular basis." ”

"What?"

"Are you mistaken?"

"Make no mistake, my family used to sell this kind of electronic products, including repairs."

"So, it's really a ghost?"

Yu Yifan shrugged his shoulders, went over to read the nursery rhyme copied by Feng Bin, and said: "If it is related to the rules, there are too many rules that can be associated with it, and there is too little known information, so it can't be nonsense." And this is a safe house, not an escape room, there can't be so many rules, if it's a chess piece clue...... How can only one person be able to hear? ”

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, after entering the game, you can only leave if you find the chess pieces, if the clues of the chess pieces are found by a player, they will be automatically scrapped, if the player does not tell the clues, or something happened before the clues, wouldn't it be a team annihilation? Isn't this level just about luck?

"This game doesn't set up such a situation, it will at least give us hope for survival, maybe the reason why we were pulled into this kind of ghost place in the first place was to watch us struggle with all our might......" Yu Yifan said in a deep groan, "Even if there is a clue in the nursery rhyme, it will not be the only clue." ”

Yu Ze: "Let's continue to act separately, and gather here if you find anything." ”

Yu Yifan agreed: "Well, there are some clues that one person may not be able to see, but a group of people may not be." After that, he glanced at Wang Dong, "Everyone is not in competition, and there will be no limit on the number of people who leave after finding the chess pieces, if you want to live, I hope everyone can cooperate well." ”

"When who doesn't know...... Wang Dong walked away with a stinky face.

The structure of this small building is not complicated, and the rest of the people are assigned a lower area and act separately.

In the evening, five people gathered in the hall.

Yu Yifan asked: "What about the newcomer?" ”

Feng Bin: "Attic." ”

Wang Dong: "It's so slow to search for everything......"

Feng Bin glanced at him.

Wang Dong hehe: "I'll just say it...... casually"

Feng Bin looked at Yu Yifan again: "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

The other party paused slightly, spread out his palm and said, "I found a pill in the trash can in the bathroom on the first floor, has anyone seen this medicine?" ”

Guo Yalan, Yu Ze and Wang Dong stepped forward to take a closer look and shook their heads.

Feng Bin glanced at the pill: "The landlord's? ”

"Probably, I'll ask Shi Youqing later," Yu Yifan stuffed the pill into his pocket, "Maybe it can be used later, what about you?" Anything else to discover? ”

Several people took turns saying what they saw and thought.

Yu Yifan was still a little interested at first, but when he heard that there was nothing real in the back, his expression became perfunctory, and after a while, he asked Feng Bin, who had never spoken: "What about you?" ”
