During this period, Guo Yalan asked the woman, "What do you call you?" ”

"Just call me Sister Li."

There are many wooden houses here, the distance between each wooden house is not far, Sister Li's house is in the middle, and the other four groups were taken by her to the four wooden houses on the left and right.

It was getting dark.

At this moment, screams suddenly came from several rooms in the distance.

Shi Youqing was about to turn his head to look, but the door in front of him had been pushed open with a "creak", and Guo Yalan next to him dragged him into the house.

Before he could see everything in front of him, the cries of Hao Tianshuo and Xia Yue came from beside him.

"What's the call?" Sister Li glanced at them dissatisfiedly, "Where you sleep, what's there to be afraid of." ”

Looking at the six coffins in front of him, Shi Youqing pursed his lips tightly.

Hao Tianshuo patted his chest and said with difficulty: "Eldest sister, you sell coffins at home?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this is where people sleep."

“…… How can a living person sleep in a coffin! ”

"Alas, our place is different from the outside," Sister Li opened a coffin with force, raised her foot and stepped directly into it, "The dead can't live in the coffin, their corpses will absorb the power of the gods on our island, and after death, they will be thrown into the sea to sacrifice to the gods, and they will not stay on the island at all...... But it's almost half of July, and they come back every year at this time of year and sleep in the coffin at night so that they won't be found. ”

Chapter 59: Offering (2)

◎ At this time, something began to caress his back. ◎

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Shi Youqing frowned, and after hearing the words "July and a half", he turned back to look out the window, but this wooden house was simple, the windows were not modern glass, all of them were tightly pasted with paper, and it was evening at this time, so he couldn't see the scene outside.

But the shadows of those peach trees reminded him of what he had seen not long ago.

When Shi Youqing woke up, his body was already soaked by the sea, and the temperature on the island was not high, when he first saw the peach blossom forest, he thought it was spring.

But how can there be so many peach blossoms in July?

Guo Yalan seemed to think of something with him, and asked the eldest sister Li: "The peach blossoms here all bloom in July?" ”

Sister Li said: "Yes, that peach forest is the way to lead the old man home." The first half of July is the day when the ghost gate is opened, and our gods let the peach blossoms bloom to guide them in order to let the deceased go home and receive offerings. ”

"......" The men rubbed their arms.

Hao Tianshuo whispered after a while: "I've heard of the saying that peach blossoms beckons ghosts before......"

"Sister Li, since those undead are your old friends, why are you afraid of being discovered by them? Could it be that they will hurt you when they come back? The eldest Luo Yanzhong asked.

"As I said, this place is different from the outside," said the woman sitting in the coffin, "The spirits of the dead here have no emotions before they were alive, and when they see people at night, they will kill them in order to take them away...... So in July, just in case, we don't go out at night. In addition, every family will make a few coffins as beds, and in our case, the coffin means that it will be put into the earth, but when people die here, they must be thrown into the sea and offered to the gods, so that the soul will never die, and the dead will not come in when they see the coffin. ”

Everyone fell silent.

Hao Tianshuo scratched his ears and walked to the nearest coffin, still a little tangled.

Luo Yanzhong looked around and entered one of the lower coffins.

Xia Yue saw that someone had moved, and he no longer hesitated, opened a coffin and went in and sat down, Hao Tianshuo also wanted to enter, and then paused, and suddenly looked back at Shi Youqing: "The remaining coffins are quite high, you choose one, I'll let you in first?" ”

Shi Youqing's body did not move, his eyes scanned the coffins, and then looked at Guo Yalan.

Guo Yalan leaned back on her shoulders, leaning against the wall, as if thinking about something.

Xia Yue over there urged her: "Senior sister, come in." ”

Guo Yalan shook her head, and her voice was very low: "The coffin is where the dead sleep. ”

Xia Yue was anxious when he heard this: "Senior sister! It's different here than outside, and now the coffin is supposed to be a safe house......"

Hearing the words "safe house", Shi Youqing was stunned.

Xia Yue continued to dissuade Guo Yalan, who was reluctant to enter the coffin, seeing that Guo Yalan insisted on not entering, she was so anxious that she was about to go out and forcibly drag it, but the next moment, she saw the weak figure walking to Sister Li's coffin: "You people here, as soon as it is close to Halloween, you have to rush home before dark, right?" ”

Sister Li: "Yes, go to sleep." ”

She seemed to be very sleepy, and after saying this, she quickly lay down, closed the lid of the coffin with both hands up, and completely sealed herself in the coffin.

“……”

After a brief silence.

Shi Youqing looked at the rest of the people: "The coffin can't sleep." ”

"Huh?"

Shi Youqing: "If the coffin is a safe house, then the rule that you can't stay outside after dark is not valid. ”

"Yes!" Luo Yanzhong heard the meaning of his words and hurriedly climbed out of the coffin, "This young man is right! If the coffin can keep the player safe, then simply moving the coffin outside can break the rule that you can't go out at night...... But it is impossible for these locals not to know such a simple truth, instead of rushing home before dark every day, it is better to set up a few more coffins outside that can be avoided at any time! ”

But they didn't see any coffins outside all the way over, and if there weren't enough coffins, it would be reasonable, but these locals had so many coffins in a single cabin that they didn't need them when they weren't coming.

"The rule that you can't go out at night means that it's not safe outside at night, but it's safe at home. But here in the coffin, it is said that the place outside the coffin is not safe. The latter can take refuge in the coffin outside due to the mobility of the coffin, which is contrary to the rules of the former...... Then one of these two rules must be false. Shi Youqing said, "Sister Li followed the rules of the former to take us home before dark, and it seems that she also followed the latter and went into the coffin to sleep, but the latter is true, and in life-related matters, it is impossible to have no coffin outside." ”

Hao Tianshuo nodded hurriedly: "In reality, there is still an escape channel, since they will be taken away by ghosts if they are not careful, the coffin is so useful, and there are so many idle ones, if you don't put a few mouthfuls outside in case of emergency, it is purely sick!" ”

Xia Yue wanted to persuade Guo Yalan to go in before, but at this time, he also came back to his senses, and he was afraid for a while: "Say so...... Wouldn't it be ...... if we went in at night?"

Luo Yanzhong nodded: "If the true rules are followed, you will not die, and if the false rules are followed, it is useless, but you may die." ”

Xia Yue's face turned blue: "This NPC is too confusing......

Shi Youqing was silent, and glanced at Guo Yalan's lowered figure, with mixed feelings.

So far, he couldn't see the purpose of Guo Yalan's appearance here at all.

In the last dungeon, he saw Guo Yalan's body with his own eyes, Guo Yalan is indeed dead, generally speaking, the dead player will most likely not become an NPC, and he remembers that people in the real world have not forgotten her.

But if Guo Yalan is not an NPC, for example, she survived due to some unexpected reasons, then in her memory, why did Yu Ze die?

Conditions for becoming an NPC - complete the quest and leave on your own.

If Yu Ze dies during the last dungeon, it is impossible for him to become a quasi-NPC and carry out the assessment task at that time.

What's more, Yu Ze has been brought back to reality by his own hands, although he has not yet woken up, he does still have vital signs.

Shi Youqing thought of the copy of the Red Shoes again, where a player mistook the murderer NPC for someone he once liked, and was used by the NPC to take his life.

If this time the game is also to play with his mentality, so let the NPC imitate Guo Yalan, it seems even more unreasonable.

First, he and Yu Ze Guo Yalan do not have a deep relationship, they have only experienced the copy of Chenggu Town, they can be regarded as acquaintances, but they are not intimate, the last copy brought out Yu Ze will not endanger his life for him, it is something he can do easily, but now, seeing a dead player appear in the new copy, he will definitely not be able to believe the other party regardless of his life.

If he is a game player and wants to confuse the player, he must at least choose a talent pair that is extremely important to the player.

For example, his mother......

Taking 10,000 steps back, NPCs and players are not on the same front, if Guo Yalan is an NPC, how can she insist on not entering the coffin when most players are about to choose to enter the coffin?

Sister Li said that the ghosts here do not enter the coffin, Guo Yalan's behavior seems suspicious, but after thinking about it, it doesn't make sense at all, they have already deduced that the rules of the coffin are fake, and the ghosts here will only act at night, according to this calculation, Guo Yalan should not appear during the day.

Or is it ...... Guo Yalan is really not dead?

Shi Youqing slowly raised his head.

Guo Yalan, who was on the other side, had already raised her face, and the two looked at each other.

Guo Yalan still looked like she was very talkative, and smiled at him.

Shi Youqing's hands were clenched, he was a little cold, and he squatted down in the corner to rest.

Everybody's wet.

Hao Tianshuo noticed that he was unwell, and remembered that he was in poor health and couldn't stay up all night, so he hurriedly went over to pat Sister Li's coffin: "Sister Li, do you have extra quilts and clothes here?" ”

The man in the coffin ignored him at all.

Luo Yanzhong is old, and he can't stand the yin tide here, so he flattered his arms and said: "Look for it directly, this kind of NPC should have fallen asleep at the point." ”

So a few people turned over in the house.

There are only two spaces inside this wooden house, one is similar to a hall house, and the largest space is the place where the coffin is placed at this time, next to which is a small bedroom with a wooden bed and a large wooden box.

Inside the wooden box were some miscellaneous clothes, as well as bedding.

Soon, Hao Tianshuo found a woolen blanket and wrapped it in Shi Youqing when he arrived in the hall: "It's cold on the ground, do you want to go to sleep on the bed in that room?" ”

Shi Youqing shook his head: "There is still a lot of uncertainty about the situation here, so it's best not to walk around." ”

Hao Tianshuo said hello, put on a dress for himself, and sat down next to him.

Shi Youqing looked at the new clothes he was wearing, it was a very old casual dress, the size was about the same as Hao Tianshuo, and it was obviously a man's.

Hao Tianshuo looked at him staring at his clothes and explained: "There are a lot of clothes in that box, both men and women, you see that this family is just Sister Li, and the clothes may be his dead family." ”

Xia Yue on the other side couldn't help but complain: "You dare to wear this?" ”

Hao Tianshuo smiled nonchalantly: "I'm shirtless, I'm uncomfortable without clothes, and if the dead person's clothes are worn, I'm unlikely to stay at home, right?" What's more, the real rules have come out, it's safe to be at home at night, just wear a piece of clothing, what are you afraid of. ”

Xia Yue shook his head: "You have a really big heart." ”

Hao Tianshuo was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed and he didn't move.

Xia Yue sat across from him, and was about to ask him what was wrong, when he realized that the other party seemed to be looking in the direction not of himself, but the window above his head...... She froze, and despite the bad premonition in her heart, her body still followed her instincts, and she took a step forward to look up......

Silent indoors and outdoors.

Outside the paper-covered window, countless figures appeared, walking back and forth at this time!

And in the window above her, there was a slender black shadow standing upside down, and the black shadow never moved.

"Right...... Let's ......."

It's the sound of tongues licking the windows!

Across the window, Xia Yue covered his mouth hard.
