escape from nightmare game

Chapter 48

Wen Xue returned to the room with a gloomy face all the way, Shi Chen just entered the door, he immediately locked the door, and then left Shi Chen beside him without saying a word, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was sulking.

The interval was less than a few hours, two people died in a row, and he was so careless, no wonder Wen was angry.Shi Chen thought of the danger just now, and put himself in the shoes, if he were Wen Xue, with his violent temper, he would probably scold him first.But Wen Xue didn't, he just left him aside in silence, the more so, the more uncomfortable he felt, anyway, he would rather Wen Xue scold him.

Shi Chen sneaked a look at Wen Xue's face, clamped his invisible tail, and followed him disheartenedly, squatting down obediently, raised his head and opened his eyes wide, putting on a pitiful expression.

"Xuexue, I really didn't expect it. When I went there, I swore there was nothing on the ground." Shi Chen didn't care whether Wen Xue was listening or not, and said, "I heard voices inside, and I thought there was something inside." Something happened, and I was in a hurry to save people, so I really didn't intentionally put myself in danger."

Wen Xue didn't reply, but his eyes fell on Shi Chen.

Shi Chen saw that there was something going on, and immediately said: "I don't think that, anyway, you are here. I will definitely not let anything happen to me, so I didn't think about it, and let you worry. I will definitely not act impulsively next time."

Wen Xue stared at Shi Chen in a daze, stretched his brows for a long time, and murmured: "Could it be that you want everyone to kill each other?"

Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "What cannibalism?"

Wen Xue said: "Ye Qian may have become an abandoned child, or one of them discovered the secret Ye Qian held, and used this method to get rid of Ye Qian."

There was a brief silence between the two of them in the irrelevant conversation.

Shi Chen hesitated for a moment, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed, patted the dust off his knees, and secretly peeped at Wen Xue again, his expression was still a little indifferent, but it was much better than when he came back before, obviously he should have lost his breath.

Shi Chen heaved a sigh of relief, as if nothing had happened before, and said with a smile: "The four veterans have all been to Ye Qian's room. If what you want to say is true, they will dislike it. As for that Lin Mengshun, she will live in Ye Qian's room." Next door to Ye Qian, when I went down, no one paid attention to the corridor, so it's not impossible for her to find clues secretly."

"Then everyone is suspected." Wen Xue sighed, his intuition was overwhelmed, "The cooperation that was just established, it has only been two days, and it has changed to the previous situation, which is annoying."

Shi Chen shrugged indifferently, "Just get used to it, it happens every time, and we wake up safely."

After he finished speaking, he added: "With you here, I'm not afraid."

Wen Xuewei turned sideways, avoiding Shi Chen who was about to come and hook his hand, "You still know it's wrong, do you know how dangerous it was just now, I'm going to be a step late, you might die."

Pretending to be nothing, but really angry.

Since it was not enough to be submissive, Shi Chen had no choice but to play tricks.

Shi Chen, the playwright, changed his face instantly, trying to squeeze out two tears, "Learn."

As soon as Shi Chen's words came out of his mouth, Wen Xue's heart trembled violently, and he immediately wanted to raise the white flag to admit defeat.Even Cao Zhen, who was beside him, couldn't help shaking, watching the goosebumps appear on the back of his hands.

"You never hurt me." Shi Chen resisted blinking, his eyes became sore from staring, and tears soon fell in place.

Knowing that Shi Chen acted on purpose, but seeing the tears swirling in his eyes, Wen Xue's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, and where there was still breath, he turned into helplessness, sighed, and stretched out his hand to gently push Shi Chen's forehead.

"Protect yourself first, and then take care of others."

Shi Chen was so full of drama that he rubbed his head against Wen Xue. Seeing Wen Xue's unbearable expression, he acted more vigorously.

Let you be fierce, Mr. Ben!Let you ignore my uncle!

When she went downstairs in the morning, Ye Qian's door fell to the ground, the door frame was cracked, and the people in the room were nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that they had been disposed of.Lin Mengshun was the last one to come to have breakfast. Her complexion was very bad, her skin was sallow, and the bruises under her eyes looked as if she had been beaten.

Without Shi Chen asking, Lin Mengshun vomited clearly what happened that night.

After everyone returned to the room, Ye Qian still didn't stop vomiting. There was only one wall between Lin Mengshun's room and Ye Qian's. Scream for help.

Lin Mengshun heard the movement outside the door in the room, and didn't dare to look at it at all. She covered her head with a quilt and was in a daze when she suddenly heard a "bang bang", as if something had been pushed down. woke up.

The rustling sound outside the door frightened her so much that she couldn't fall asleep at all. Not long after, the proprietress came out of the room and opened the door as usual.Lin Mengshun guessed that the people who came were the people who cleaned up the corpse before. After Ye Qian's body was carried away and the noise of the whole night stopped abruptly, she gradually fell asleep in panic.It's just that she didn't sleep well. She had nightmares all night and woke up very early, but she didn't dare to go out until the hall became lively.

After hearing Lin Mengshun's narration, everyone was silent for a while.

Hu Yuan almost died at the hands of hunters twice in the past, and said with a sneer, "If you hurt others, you will end up hurting yourself. She deserves her death."

Wen Xue gnawed on the dry bread, Yu Guang and Shi Chen met each other's eyes, and didn't reveal their conjecture, so as not to startle the snake.

After breakfast, the rain outside had almost stopped. Hu Yuan and Du Kang got impatient and disappeared into the crowd.Lin Mengshun refused to investigate, locked himself in the room, and never came out again.

"What did the two of you discover?" Daqu patted Shi Chen on the shoulder, "There must be something wrong with the flirting just now."

Xiao Luo was still packing her bag, Daqu looked back, and said in a low voice, "You suspect that there is more than one hunter among us?"

Shi Chen rubbed his shoulders in disgust with the girl's so much strength: "You guessed it all, and you still ask us. Be careful, I don't know which one it is."

Daqu wanted to say more, but Xiao Luo had already packed his backpack and walked over.

"You..." Daqu changed the subject abruptly, "Where are you going next?"

"Go to the temple on the mountain again." Wen Xue said, "I haven't figured out some questions, and I want to ask them. Maybe I have to ask you to help me look at Cao Zhen."

The water level of the jumping rock really rose by one notch, and the river slapped the two banks, splashing from time to time.

Shi Chen and Wen Xue wrapped themselves tightly, and Daqu stood on the bank of the river to watch them cross the river. He didn't feel relieved until they arrived safely, and investigated with Xiao Luo at the river.

The residents of the ancient city were very afraid of getting in the river, and the number of people traveling between the two banks was obviously much smaller.

The ancient temple on the mountain is as usual, full of voices, and most of the believers today are women.Miao Zhu was busy at the moment, Wen Xue didn't bother, and sat with Shi Chen in the front yard of the temple to observe the crowd, all of them were middle-aged women in their forties or fifties.

Shi Chen sat there watching for a long time, and suddenly felt very awkward, he couldn't explain it, he just felt that these women were a bit out of place, but he couldn't explain it, which was strange for a while.

"Are these people so good-looking?" Wen Xue was very puzzled.

Shi Chen pondered for a long time, then turned his head and thought for a while, "Look at their hands, they don't look like women's hands, they are delicate and tender, and they look like people in their 20s."

Wen Xue squinted his eyes and looked carefully, "It seems to be, and they don't have neck lines."

"Yes." Shi Chen said and looked into the temple, and when he saw a woman turning her head, his eyes widened, "Damn it, look, they have become younger."

Miao Zhu finished his work in the temple, came out with a broom, saw them, and smiled at them.

There are a lot of believers in the temple right now, and the crowd watching the temple, instead of coming to talk like before, walked to the other corner of the yard and bent over to sweep the fallen leaves all over the ground.Shi Chen looked in the direction of Miaozhu, and noticed that this ancient temple, the ancient pagoda on the other side of the river had a higher terrain, and should be the highest place in the ancient city, which made Shi Chen quite concerned.

It was almost lunch time, and the people coming and going were almost the same as yesterday, and they began to descend the mountain one after another.

After careful observation by Shi Chen, he found that the women who came to worship were obviously a few years younger.

When the people had almost finished walking, Miao Zhu came towards them.

"You guys are here again." Miao Zhu sat beside them, and before Shi Chen could ask, he said to himself, "These girls are only in their twenties."

Shi Chen guessed that it was related to raising Gu, knowingly asked: "Then why do you grow like this?"

Miao Zhu sighed, and said regretfully: "Every household in the ancient city of Heishui raises Gu with their own essence. It is only passed on to females and not males, and what is enshrined in the temple is their Gu gods."

Wen Xue interjected, "They don't need to raise them."

Miao Zhu didn't answer and glanced at the sky. The morning sun was shrouded in clouds, and it was going to rain again. Then he looked at the Heishui River in the distance, his expression full of worry.

"Let's talk in the temple first." Miao Zhu got up slowly and explained, "It doesn't matter if you don't go back to have lunch here, it's not that particular."

"Why did you help us?" Wen Xue looked at Miao Zhu indifferently, unable to understand his behavior.

The folds of Miao Zhu's eyelids almost covered the eyes that seemed to be cloudy but were actually clear. He pulled out two stools and a stove, and took out a few pieces of baked cakes for them.

Wen Xue glanced and didn't answer, Shi Chen borrowed the stove to heat up hot water, preferring to eat the braised beef noodles he brought.

Miao Zhu bowed his head and smiled softly, and ate his lunch by himself. While eating slowly, he said, "Enough people have died, why should more people die?"

"Has anyone been here before?" Shi Chen's eyes flashed, "Who is the BOSS?"

Miao Zhu was taken aback, and sighed helplessly: "The candidates are different every time. If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago. I can only tell you that it should be a woman. You can look for it, and it hasn't changed for a few days. Because of the head-down witchcraft, even if you come here, you won't become younger."

"Remove the tourists in the ancient city, let alone one or two hundred women. You must remember everyone's appearance, eliminate most of the young people, and find one of them among the remaining old people. It is impossible to do it." Shi Chen patted the air. Stool, probably the reason why Wen Xue was by his side, he was not afraid of people in this world at all, and said bluntly: "Old man, tell what you know, don't tell half and hide half."

"Then do you know how to practice witchcraft?" Wen Xue pulled Shi Chen back, "What materials are needed?"

Miao Zhu shook his head, "Every family's ancestral method is different, so those who have been infected, if they want to untie it, only those who are under it will."

Wen Xue then said: "The proprietress of our hotel, has she been here recently?"

"You said Alian." Miao Zhu said: "She hasn't come here for several days, is she not feeling well? She is relatively weak, and she was not diligent before coming here."

After that, Wen Xue didn't ask any more questions, and the two left after the rain stopped.
