escape from nightmare game

Chapter 23

Huang Li and the others came back more than an hour later than Shi Chen, which caused a lot of commotion. They worked hard to transport the peach trees to the village entrance, and immediately some villagers went to notify the village chief to help them carry the peach logs.

Shi Chen was eating the unpalatable biscuit while disgusted, when he heard the voice, he turned his head and looked out the window.

The yard was very lively, it looked like people from almost half the village had come, surrounded Hong Yangzi to ask for his health, their voices were loud, but they couldn't hear their conversations, but just judging by their polite attitude as if they were close to the leader, These people are looking forward to the arrival of the Mountain God Festival.

So what would happen if they stopped doing the Mountain God Festival and instead investigated, or even tried to prevent the Mountain God Festival from happening?

Cold sweat dripped from Shi Chen's forehead, and his eyes became alert when he looked out of the window. The hand propped on the back of the sofa held the edge. At first glance, there was no change, but when he looked carefully at the arm with half-opened sleeves, the muscles were a little tense.

"What would happen if you raped these people in the dream?" Wen Xue said.

Seeing that the hand was eager to try, Tu Wanzi said in disappointment, "If you want to survive, you have to pretend to be a grandson."

Wen Xue felt a little regretful about not being able to do it, but nodded honestly, complaining that he didn't say a word, and sat there with his hand on his chin, unconsciously rubbing his two fingers.

"Looking at Huang Li's appearance, he is very confident in the story, so he probably won't listen to persuasion." Shi Chen turned around and unscrewed the bottle cap, poured half a bottle of cold water to calm himself down, and kept fiddling with the mineral water bottle. As if to relieve anxiety: "Well, we can split things up with them."

From the corner of Wen Xue's eyes, he stared at the crowd outside the window. Dozens of people who left one after another sat beside them like statues for a while, thinking of Tian'er last night and the village chief's son in the morning, pondering for a while, his tone With hesitation in his heart: "Most likely it has something to do with the victimized children of the Mountain God Festival."

Shi Chen raised his legs, turned his head to look at the rest of the people outside the window, walked around the faces of those people, forcibly remembered the faces of most of them, and made a wave of micro-expression observations to exclude the families of those present.The rest of the people who were not present were mostly forced to sacrifice their children, or the children were within the age range for sacrifices. Excluding a group of people, the rest of the investigation would be much easier.

It's just that after thinking too much, Shi Chen felt that it was very difficult. If he wanted to catch a murderer, he was good at it, but if he had to deal with a dead person, he couldn't wear Taoist robes and draw amulets to save people.

"Last time, we had to catch the murderer. Are we going to catch the ghost this time? It's too difficult." Shi Chen scratched his head and said, naturally pushing the window open a little, leaving a gap between the windows, his hand Feeling in the pocket, from the corner of the eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Xue who was thinking about something, hesitated for a moment, and took it out of the pocket empty-handed.

Wen Xue's mind was divided half, half was used to solve the puzzle, and the other half was given to Shi Chen, and any movement around him could not escape his discerning eyes.He smiled and reached for the lighter, stuffed it into Shi Chen's hand, met those surprised eyes, looked at the pocket that Shi Chen had touched, raised his eyebrows slightly, got up and changed to a seat with an upwind position .

Shi Chen lazily leaned on the back of the sofa in a comfortable posture, slowly exhaled smoke, and stared intently at Wen Xue who was in the concentrating courtyard.

Wen Xue's care for him, the concern hidden under his indifferent expression, is reflected in the details.Shi Chen is familiar with this feeling and yearns for it, as if he tasted it somewhere, made him live as an addict, and will fall into it again if he touches it, so he can't help but keep crossing the line, and he almost doesn't know himself.

But where did he come into contact with Wen Xue, but Shi Chen didn't remember it.

In the four years since he was kicked out of the house and even graduated from the police academy, he has never touched a single bit of meat, and he has forced himself to live like a monk with few desires, and has no time for flirting.How can there be a relationship that he has forgotten but feels unforgettable, he has never lost his memory, so there is no memory fault, the more he thinks about Shi Chen, the more he feels a headache.

The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward, and a cramped feeling circulated between the two of them, causing others to understand it without knowing it.

"There are many kinds of tasks for waking up in the dream. A single game is easy to get tired of playing." Tu Wanzi broke the silence, "Anyway, I don't know if the person who invited us is a person or not. Creative, let us participate in the dream escape game, without repeating the same story."

"Don't you guys know who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" Shi Chen replied, forcibly pulling back his unrestrained consciousness.

Tu Wanzi laughed, put away his smile dramatically, rolled his eyes and said: "I want to know who is the mastermind behind the scenes, I rolled up my sleeves long ago, smashed my stilettos, and I'm still here desperately trying to find a way to survive?"

Shi Chen was taken aback, feeling that his brain was really short-circuited, otherwise he wouldn't be able to ask this mentally retarded question.But wait for him to talk again, four people from outside the door rushed in, and there were several big plates of delicacies behind them.

After eating several compressed biscuits, Shi Chen could smell the smell of meat all over the room, and Shi Chen's gluttons quickly came out of his throat.Tu Wanzi was similar, he stretched his neck, swallowed his saliva, got up with great concentration and walked across the dining table, looking like he was about to go upstairs.

"Hmph, I know it's embarrassing and shameless." Huang Li put down the bowl slowly, looked towards the stairs, and laughed mockingly: "I swore before that we would have an accident, why don't you say it now?"

"Forget it." Apan gnawed on the steamed bun and persuaded, "She is more cautious in doing things."

"She wants us to die. Which hunter doesn't pretend to be innocent? What's the reality? Be careful, otherwise, if you die in someone else's hands, you'll think you're smart." Huang Li said loudly on purpose. Anyone with long ears can tell who the half sentence refers to.

Shi Chen had just finished smoking his whole cigarette. Hearing that Huang Li was so ignorant, he raised his hands heavily, put his hands on the coffee table, stood up, and pulled up Wen Xue who was sitting at the corner of the table.

Halfway up the stairs, Shi Chen stopped abruptly, turned his head to look at the four people who were enjoying their food, with a tricky smile on the corner of his mouth, "Since you have read the traditional Chinese book, haven't you read carefully the book about the Mountain God's Sacrifice?" The process? Sacrificial offerings will be thrown into the well for a year, and when the next year’s mountain god festival is held, the well will be fished out and a new offering will be thrown in. The whole village only has that well, and the rice made from that water, you Not afraid to eat to death."

After Shi Chen finished speaking, he felt much refreshed, when there were mixed voices behind him, he didn't even turn his head, and vomited wherever he liked.

Probably due to exhaustion from vomiting, Huang Li didn't call for help until evening and gathered in the yard.

Of course, A Pan came up to call Shi Chen and the others, but all the responses he got were refusal.Only Wen Xue saw that A Pan was doing well, and kindly reminded him to keep away from the peach tree when cutting trees, but Wen Xue didn't say the reason.

After the idiots left from the second floor, Tu Wanzi rushed to Shi Chen's room, and the three gathered around the window to look down, and they could see the scene in the courtyard clearly.

However, the sun had already set in the west, and the light in the courtyard was very dim, so Apan could only rely on the oil lamp to illuminate it with a faint fire.

A Pan seemed to be listening to Wen Xue's words, and stretched his arms straight to keep the distance away, as far away as possible from the peach tree that Huang Li was going to cut.

Because of this, Huang Li complained a few words, saying that he couldn't see clearly, but Apan had some scruples and only moved up two small steps.

"Do you think they can successfully dismember these five peach trees?" Tu Wanzi looked down and said.

In order to see clearly, the windows are open on both sides, and the cold wind is constantly pouring into the room.All three of them poked their heads out in the room, as if they had never heard of Tuwanzi's wrong wording.

Shi Chen was so cold that he folded his arms, his face looked as if he was waiting for the good show to start, and he said with a smile: "I'm curious, what will happen after dealing with peach trees."

"If this is the condition of death, will the five of them be unlucky together?" Wen Xue asked.

"I don't know, maybe it will, or maybe it won't. But I can guarantee that the Huang Likeng who attacked will be the first unlucky ghost." Tu Wanzi said.

Shi Chen frowned, rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Farewell, everything happened, there are only three of us left, the challenge is too difficult."

Too many people were lost in the team competition, and the probability of winning in the end is very low. Tuwanzi also understands this, so at the beginning she tried to control the field to minimize losses, but something went wrong in the midfield.

Huang Li was short and fat, with a lot of strength, he stepped on a peach tree with his foot, and chopped off the ax with all his strength.

"Ah, it's blood." Wen Xue never looked away from the beginning to the end, let alone distracted, so he immediately sighed when he saw the blood splatter.

The noise that followed Wen Xue's words was Li Luoluo's screaming downstairs. She was standing next to the mahogany tree waiting to be slaughtered, so the blood splashed all over her body.

Just as Shi Chen was a little distracted, when he came back to his senses, the yard was already in chaos. The oil lamp in A Pan's hand fell to the ground, and the lamp oil was spilled everywhere, and A Pan, who was carrying the oil lamp, fell to the ground in fright.Huang Li, who was hit hardest by the axe, crawled far away because of the stimulation in front of him, and sat on the ground, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

At this moment, Taomu became a child who was cut in half. His mouth was sealed by fishing line, and he couldn't open it. Those eyes were not closed, and the scarlet eyes happened to be facing Huang Li.

"How could this happen!" Li Luoluo yelled, "Isn't that mahogany? How could it be a child?"

Yu Zijie looks courageous, but he is actually a vain idiot. He and Hong Yangzi are racing the tortoise and the hare, running towards the room like mice crossing the street.

The screams outside the window were ear-piercing, Wen Xue put down his hand covering his ears, and wanted to close the window, but his hand just touched the handle of the window, the next scene was so shocking that he forgot what he was going to do, not only Wen Xue, but everyone who saw Everyone suddenly lost their voices.

Huang Li kicked his back legs, trying to kick away the boy who was crawling towards him.

It was too late, the boy slowly crawled to Huang Li's feet like a ghost staring at its prey.He was only about five years old, but his strength was astonishing. Huang Li couldn't kick it away with his feet, and his ankle was almost deformed.

The boy caught the man, grinned the most, grabbed Huang Li's feet, and crawled towards the ancient well.

Everyone held their breath as if unconscious, watching Huang Li being dragged away in a daze.

The two fell into the well in a hug. There was a loud "tom", and the dull drum sound suddenly hit everyone's heart.

"Playing so big?" Shi Chen was still a little stunned, "If you lose two people at once today, it won't take the sixth day for the entire army to be wiped out."

Shi Chen couldn't spit ivory out of his mouth, Wen Xue took it for granted, but Tu Wanzi heard it harshly, held back the heart of complaining, went out and went downstairs, and went for a walk in the courtyard.

Seeing the bunny man appearing in the yard, Wen Xue closed the window, silently climbed onto the kang, and found the hottest corner to warm up.His hand was on the iron handle for a while, it was red and swollen, and it was so cold that it could be steamed under the bright sun.

Shi Chen also got on the kang, took off the military overcoat hanging on his body and put it on Wen Xue, rubbed the back of Wen Xue's hands with his hands, pouted towards the half-closed door, "Don't you want to see?"

"Based on her experience, she is not afraid of omissions." Wen Xue shook his head, took out a bedside tissue and blew his nose, rather helplessly said: "Sooner or later I will catch a cold."

This word is really familiar, Wen Xue's focus is still so weird, but after Wen Xue's reminder, Shi Chen actually thought seriously, whether the air conditioner in the real room is turned on too much, and whether it will make people feel cold.
