Chapter 41: A Family of Six (16)

◎ The day before the birthday banquet ◎

The arrival of the sixth day made the atmosphere visibly tense.

After putting on makeup in the morning, Shi Youqing and the rest of the people went to the back of the kitchen to check again, and the entrance to the basement was well hidden and had not been touched.

Tomorrow is the birthday party, the passage of time becomes very obvious, everyone is very fast at breakfast, there is no small talk, after the meal is all about their own business.

Among them, Feng Bin and Li Yuanyuan decided to take turns to rest during the day, and while one person rested, the other person went out to check the situation.

Their mission is to guard the house from outsiders. From the first night to now, they have not encountered anything other than the little girl knocking on the door that all players have experienced, which has only made them even more uneasy.

Li Yuanyuan had already gone back to the room to make up for sleep, and the prenatal education morning class that Shi Youqing was in charge of was still ten minutes away, and he met Feng Bin on the way upstairs.

Feng Bin still seemed to be a little uncomfortable with his women's clothes, and his eyes flashed a little when he walked over, and he said hello to him.

Shi Youqing noticed that he had something on his mind, so he said, "How is your progress over there?" ”

There was an old lady sitting on the first floor, Feng Bin simply turned around and went upstairs to talk to him: "I suspect something might happen tonight......"

Shi Youqing pursed his lips and was silent, knowing what he meant.

Feng Bin and Li's remote work only starts in the evening, tomorrow is the last day, and if there is an emergency corresponding to their work, then it will only appear tonight.

Arriving at the corridor on the second floor, Feng Bin continued: "I've been thinking about the key point of this copy for the past few days, you said before that seven days means the first seven for the dead, at that time I thought it was the sixth family, that is, the first seven of Xiaozhi, but now you also know that this family is dead, if the seven days imply the first seven, then tomorrow's birthday banquet is actually the last day before they should be buried in the ground. ”

Shi Youqing was stunned.

In the traditional funeral culture, it is common for someone in the family to pass away and wait until the first seven days have passed before being buried.

His previous attention was on breaking the rules, and if it weren't for Feng Bin's mention, he would have almost forgotten this: "Yes, this can also explain the reason why those NPCs crawled out of the soil, not to scare the player, but not to ...... the first seven years."

"Well, the cause of death of this family was definitely homicide, and they all died on the same day, and then they were buried in the garden." Feng Bin pondered and said, "I suspect that tomorrow's mission is to bury all these NPCs in the soil after midnight. ”

Shi Youqing thought for a while, and suddenly shook his head: "Not necessarily." ”

Feng Bin: "Why? ”

Shi Youqing: "Although they are also dead, except for Xiao Zhi's other NPCs, they have no concept of dying at all, and they are even very afraid of Xiao Zhi's existence, they probably know that Xiao Zhi is dead, and it is normal for people to be afraid of ghosts, but they are obviously not human, and the juniors who are not afraid at all when they are alive will be so afraid after death?" ”

"You mean ......"

"The family didn't know they were dead," Shi Youqing looked in the direction of the hostess's bedroom, "When I was a child, I would think about one thing from time to time before I went to bed - what if I fell asleep and died?" The only difference between falling asleep and dying is that the former can wake up, while the latter sleeps forever. ”

Feng Bin's eyes changed slightly: "This family ...... All of them were killed in their sleep. ”

Shi Youqing shook his head: "So, what you want to prevent tonight may be the murderer who broke into the house." ”

Feng Bin was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly patted him on the shoulder, turned around and left with a smile in his eyes.

After separating from Feng Bin, Shi Youqing went to the piano room for morning lessons.

Probably because of pregnancy, the hostess Su Hui basically does not play with her mobile phone in the piano room, but she can't concentrate on listening to piano music throughout the whole process, and occasionally carries some books or newspapers to pass the time.

Today, Su Hui brought a daily newspaper, and she always held it in her hand to read.

During Shi Youqing's break, he poured her a glass of water, and glanced at the newspaper in the other party's hand.

One of the headlines caught his attention — a large amount of cash was dug up from the garden of his home after the octogenarian's death.

"Thank you," the woman sighed, holding up the newspaper and chatting with him, "Now some old people are really true, the money does not exist in the bank, and the fear of being remembered at home can actually think of burying the money in a box in the garden...... You don't know that after the money in the news is dug up, a lot of it rots! ”

“…… The old man is insecure. Shi Youqing dealt with it casually, his eyes continued to look at the newspaper, the information on it was cluttered, and the only thing that caught people's eyes was the headline that buried cash.

"It's still too confusing," Su Hui shook her head, "It's good that my parents-in-law won't do anything like that." ”

Shi Youqing was stunned.

Su Hui continued: "Don't look at my husband like this now, in fact, he is also self-made, his parents were very miserable in their early years, and now they are old, even if they are not short of money, they have always been concerned about money, sometimes they say something unpleasant, don't be surprised." ”

Shi Youqing shook his head, staring at the newspaper, an idea gradually popped up in his heart, but his face was not shocked: "No, we get along very well." ”

"Haha...... That's good. ”

At the end of the morning class, although there was another accident of "escape" of the meat ball on the way, with experience, Shi Youqing was particularly handy in dealing with it.

As soon as he got out of the piano room, he ran to the first floor, but fortunately, the two old men went to the open space outside to exercise, and he took the opportunity to turn on the TV and tune in to the local TV station.

At this point in time, commercials are being broadcast, but today's TVs can go back and watch the previous shows.

Shi Youqing turned the clock back to the morning news.

As he expected, there was also the news about the old man digging up a large amount of cash after his death.

"The old man buried cash", "the money was only discovered after death", and "a large amount of cash rotted", which were all easy to pay attention to, were all gathered together, and this news naturally caused a lot of heat, and there were also reporters on the street to interview citizens about some opinions on this matter......

Before the two old men came back, Shi Youqing turned off the TV in time and immediately drank a sip of water.

That thought became much clearer in my mind.

After a while, Shi Youqing looked in the direction of the kitchen, looked at the time again, and sat down on the sofa.

The two old men went to the kitchen first, and stayed for a while before returning to the bedroom.

After they left, Shi Youqing went to the kitchen immediately.

Bo Huai was chopping the meat filling, and when he saw him, he said, "They want to eat dumplings at noon." ”

"Oh...... They had been in the kitchen for a long time," Shi Youqing looked at the cabinet blocking the entrance to the basement, there was nothing flawed there, but he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything wrong with them?" ”

Bo Huai glanced at him along his line of sight: "Something is wrong, they may have known about the situation in the basement all along." ”

Hearing this, Shi Youqing was not very surprised.

If it is only because of the retirement or abandonment of the child, the family will feel weak or guilty at best, and it is unlikely to be so afraid.

There is another point - the degree of decay of Xiaozhi's corpse, once it smells in reality, it cannot be ignored at all.

"I probably know the order of the whole thing," Shi Youqing quickly closed the kitchen door and checked the timeline with Bo Huai, "At first, it was Xiao Zhi who had an accident in the basement, and the family thought that Xiao Zhi was not at home at all for some reason, and here I tend to say that they have retired or abandoned it, but Xiao Zhi ran back before her grandmother's birthday banquet, and there should be no one at home at that time, so in order to get attention, she made a hint of her coming back at home, and then went into the basement to hide, hoping that the family could be nervous and work hard to find her...... ”

"But the family didn't care about the hints about Xiaozhi coming home at all, and maybe they didn't care about everything about the child at all, so they didn't find out that they had died in their own house until the child's body smelled......

"Human life is at stake, this kind of thing is going out, the specific cause of Xiaozhi's death and the abandonment of the child are likely to be exposed, in the eyes of the two old people or the whole family, this matter will definitely ruin the career of the male protagonist Tian Zikun...... In the end, they chose to dispose of it themselves, after all, it was a corpse, and they couldn't deal with it in a short time, and the corpse would definitely be discovered, so they could only block all the exits from the basement first. Shi Youqing said all the thoughts that came up in one breath, "Later, perhaps inspired by the news that the old lady buried cash, the two old men decided to bury the child in their own garden......

Bo Huai's gaze always stopped on his face.

Shi Youqing continued: "In order to have enough reason to break ground on a large scale in the garden, they will probably buy a large number of flower seedlings and dig a hole to dig them...... Similarly, if there happens to be a thief who comes to the neighborhood at this time and accidentally finds that the pit they dug is ridiculously deep, will it also be associated with that news? ”

Bo Huai put down the kitchen knife, washed his hands, and then took out the thermos cup and unscrewed it: "Moisten your throat." ”

Shi Youqing did say that he was tired, so he looked at the other party and fed him directly, and raised his head to drink water.

Bo Huai stared at him and said, "You're right, during this time, we should be in the seven-day time regression before they died, they don't know that they are dead, and they will instinctively do what they didn't finish before they die." ”

- They haven't buried Xiaozhi's body yet, it's something they haven't done.

Shi Youqing frowned slightly: "Then they may move the corpse in the basement before the birthday banquet." ”

"I'm staring at them," Bo said, "there's no way they're going to open the basement door in front of the player." ”

This can only be done, Shi Youqing nodded: "If they act at night, Feng Bin and Li Yuanyuan can also pay attention to the security room......

Leaving the kitchen, he hurriedly went outside to find Feng Bin, and after telling the plan, the other party didn't think about it: "No problem." ”

"If you really find them burying the corpse, don't go out to stop it," Shi Youqing said with his own speculation, "It is unlikely that the rules will contradict each other, otherwise it will be a dead end for the player, since the door cannot be opened after midnight, it means that the player cannot go out during that time period, if the NPC that buried Xiaozhi buries the corpse during that time period, you can shout to indicate that you have found it." ”

People can't be resurrected after death, Xiaozhi's death is already a foregone conclusion, whether the body is in the basement or in the soil, in fact, it will not reverse the ending - but if the family succeeds in secretly burying her, her existence and her death will really be completely erased.

So, the key is not to stop the NPC from burying Shiba, but not to let Shiba be buried quietly in the garden.

The two of them were talking as they walked, when suddenly there was a chaotic movement in the garden.

Feng Bin's face changed slightly, and he rushed over first.

When he arrived at the place, he saw something coming out of the soil, and his face was extremely ugly.

Shi Youqing had already predicted, and when he stepped forward to see that piece of meat, he was used to it, and he went straight over, and on the side was Hao Tianshuo, who saw this thing for the first time and then kept talking.

"How long has it been out?" Shi Youqing looked at the wriggling lump of flesh in place and asked.

"Yes, it's been a while," Hao Tianshuo said with discomfort, "I've made the pit bigger, but I just won't leave." ”

"Babies can't walk, let alone fetuses." Shi Youqing said softly, reaching out to take the piece of meat, Hao Tianshuo saw it, his eyeballs were about to fall out, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately grabbed the scarlet and terrifying thing first, ah, ah, shouted, "Hahaha...... What ......does this feel?"

Shi Youqing: "......"

Su Xi choked: "...... Afraid to grab it? ”

"Then you can't let Qingqing take such a disgusting thing," Hao Tianshuo said as he said, as if he was holding a hot potato in his hand, and kept throwing the meat ball around with his hands as if he were a ball, "I, I can do it!! ”

Su Xi: "Didn't you call him Brother Qingqing before?" ”

"He's like this now, I can't call my brother ahah......ahahh

“……”

Shi Youqing stretched out his hand: "Give it to me." ”

Hao Tianshuo shook his head stubbornly: "I can...... Ahhhhhhh I'm holding it now! I'll send it back now! ”

Shi Youqing reminded: "Remember to send it to Su Hui's room on the second floor." ”

"Good, good......" The green-haired figure ran away like the wind.

In the end, the fetus was sent back, but this incident caused a great shadow to Hao Tianshuo, when he ate at noon, he had no appetite at all, and as soon as he saw the meat, he immediately looked away and didn't vomit.

Su Xi and the others looked at him as if they were laughing.

Shi Youqing ate more than before, and halfway through eating, as if he remembered something, he suddenly got up and Bo Huai suddenly grabbed him: "What's wrong?" ”

"I want juice," he said, touching his chin, "is it in the fridge?" ”

"It's gone, I'll squeeze it, wait for me for two minutes!"

If it was before, Shi Youqing would still be embarrassed, but at this time, he nodded and sat down with peace of mind.
