After the retired judge enters the escape game

Chapter 35 The Scarecrow

The two left quickly, and the other players followed after seeing this.

Qi Wuguo pulled Duan Li and walked in directly from the path next to the road.After walking not far, I entered a field that hadn't been fully developed.

At this time, it is almost the busy season of farming, and the rice in the field is dyed golden yellow, swaying gently with the breeze in the morning sun.

The scenery is nice, which makes Qi Wuguo very eager to create.

However, his purpose is obviously not to collect news, but because Deng Yahua is at this place, where everyone can see.

Feng Zhen had stopped at this moment, and she had already noticed something was wrong.

Lu Manman got close, and heard Feng Zhen covering his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Then, the clothes on that scarecrow are what he wore last night."

When Lu Manman heard this, she felt goosebumps all over her body, and she subconsciously said, "Hey...is it true that after the NPC was killed, he put the clothes on the scarecrow?"

This statement sounds more acceptable than turning into a scarecrow.

Qi Wuguo looked back at them and said, "Feng Zhen, come with me to have a look."

Feng Zhen stepped back, shook his head and said, "No, I, I dare not."

Qi Wuguo knew that she was a novice, so he understood the fear in the other party's heart, so he softened his tone, ready to appease the other party.

"It's ok……"

Before Qi Wuguo finished speaking, Duan Li who was standing beside him spoke.

"Escape is easier to die."

His expression was indifferent, his brows were slightly frowned, and his tone was very blunt. After hearing this, Qi Wuguo felt that Duan Li's behavior would only make Feng Zhen more afraid to go over.

Unexpectedly, although Feng Zhen's face was paler, he said with trembling lips: "Okay, okay."

After finishing speaking, she walked directly towards the Scarecrow without even looking at Qi Wu and them.

Qi Wuguo was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of what was going on.

He grabbed a handful of hair and felt that the girl's mind was a bit difficult to understand.

Duan Li gave him a hand and said, "Follow."

In the game, there is no need to worry about being chased by local villagers with hoes for trampling on the fields.

The three Lu Manman who stayed on the ridge saw Qi Wuguo and the others walking past, so they also followed.

The scarecrow stands in the middle of the field. In the center of the field, there are two scarecrows.One of the scarecrows, wearing a blue gown and a straw hat, looks like an ordinary scarecrow.

The other scarecrow is dressed in a strange way. It is wearing a suit, a black suit, a white shirt and a tie. It is a standard office worker dress.

Except for the clothes that are not suitable for appearing on the scarecrow, there is nothing strange about the other parts, it looks like a scarecrow.

Qi Wuguo glanced at Duan Li, and Duan Li slightly shook his head invisibly.He knew that the other party meant that the scarecrow was very clean, without any strange places like Yin Qi.

Qi Wuguo looked at Feng Zhen and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Perhaps it was because Qi Wuguo's expression was too calm, and Feng Zhen's fear dissipated a lot. She walked around the scarecrow, looked at it carefully for a while, and pointed to the scarecrow's neck.

"I don't know if it is, but there is a black birthmark on his neck."

Qi Wuguo looked in the direction of the scarecrow's neck, right where Feng Zhen was pointing, the straw there was blackened for some reason, it looked like a birthmark.

"what!"

Feng Zhen suddenly screamed and ran back a few steps, almost not falling.

Fortunately, Lu Manman happened to be standing in that direction and helped her up.

Feng Zhen looked back, with a look of shock on his face: "Scarecrow, the scarecrow just smiled at me."

Qi Wuguo looked up again, and what he saw was still the scarecrow's face without features.

He was a little puzzled, turned to where Feng Zhen was standing just now, and found that the sunlight just fell from the gap in the straw hat and landed on the scarecrow's face, forming a weird and distorted smile.

Qi Wuguo thought for a while, reached out and touched the scarecrow's pocket, and found a mobile phone.

Other than that, there are no other clues.

Feng Zhen didn't have the password of the mobile phone. He only said that he would look for it when he went home at night. Perhaps after turning on the mobile phone, the main line of the game would become clearer.

All the players are people with role tasks. There is no other abnormality on the Scarecrow side. Everyone took a few photos and left to take the bus.

In the old city during the day, it is still the same as the day before, and it is too ordinary to be busy working, just like in the real world.

It's just that after getting on the bus, the expressions of all the players are not very good-looking.

Everyone is an experienced old player. From the experience of the past few days, it can be seen that with the tunnel as the boundary, all dangers are on the side of the new city.

But after night fell, everyone could only take the last train to an unknown and dangerous place.

Today's tunnel is still under repair.

After passing through the tunnel, the strange middle-aged man still got on the bus.

He took the car several times, but always just sat quietly in the front row. The players had changed from being wary of this weirdo to ignoring him.

Just treat him as a game NPC. In this escape game, even more strange things have happened. He is just a nervous middle-aged man, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

When Jiang Lihui got off the car, the middle-aged man still got off.

Feng Zhen was seated near the door. When the middle-aged man passed by, she suddenly covered her mouth and let out a short exclamation.

Qi Wuguo sat behind her and asked directly: "What's wrong?"

Feng Zhen said: "That person seems to be Deng Yahua."

Qi Wuguo turned his head to look out the window, and saw the man in the straw hat suspected to be Deng Yahua silently following behind Jiang Lihui.

He stood up directly and said, "Yes!"

It's just that the door of the bus has been closed, and the driver's voice sounded: "Please tell me in advance when you get off the bus, you can't open the door until you arrive at the station."

Qi Wuguo frowned slightly, and said, "Haven't you driven yet?"

The grumpy uncle driver's tone was a bit strange at the moment, cold and somewhat mechanical, he just repeated: "You can't open the door until you arrive at the station, please get ready in advance when you get off."

The bus started again, and Qi Wuguo stood directly in front of the door.

He always felt very uneasy, although in this escape game, death is a very common thing.But he still can't turn a blind eye to others when they are very likely to be in danger. If he can save them, he should help them.

Duan Li got up suddenly, and also stood at the bus door, he asked in a low voice: "Do you want to get off?"

Qi Wuguo nodded: "I always feel that Jiang Lihui might be in danger."

Duan Li smiled lightly and said, "Even if you get out of the car, it may not be useful."

Although he was smiling, his eyes looked extremely indifferent, as if he didn't care about other people's life or death.

Qi Wuguo didn't think there was anything wrong with his attitude, perhaps because of his profession, Duan Li was used to life and death.Besides, the people in this game should have died a long time ago, and should not stay in the world after death. This is the rules and regulations...

Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he had such an idea all of a sudden.

He came back to his senses and said something.

"You have a clear conscience."

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li got off the car at the next stop, and the other players did not move.In fact, it is also very normal. This shows that there are some dangerous things, and it is a normal reaction not to want to participate.

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li walked towards the direction of the previous stop.

The distance was not too far, and the two of them traveled very fast, and they returned to the place where Jiang Lihui got off in more than ten minutes.The bus station was empty and no one was there.

There are a few sparse lights on in the village in the distance, which is the village where Jiang Lihui lives.The name of the village is Jiangbian Village, which is as simple and rude as Jiangxin Island's naming method.

Qi Wuguo took a look and said, "Go and have a look."

The village is very quiet, almost all the villagers have fallen asleep at this point.

The canteen at the entrance of the village is lit, and a small color TV can be seen on the counter inside from the half-covered door.

The TV screen was on, so the shopkeeper probably wasn't sleeping.

Qi Wuguo thought for a while, pushed the door open and went in, ready to ask where Jiang Lihui's house lived.

"Excuse me……"

Qi Wuguo didn't finish his sentence, the light in the canteen was a little dim, and when he first entered the door, he couldn't see the owner's face clearly at the counter.

It's just that the TV just happened to cut to a bright picture, illuminating the shop owner's entire face.

Qi Wuguo saw clearly that it was a scarecrow.

The scarecrow had a mask on its face, with rough facial features painted on it. His face was pale and his lips were bright red. It looked like a paper man used to honor the ancestors during the Ghost Festival.

He took a step back and bumped his shoulder against Duan Lu.

Duan Li had just entered the door, and was pulled out by Qi Wuguo without seeing clearly what was going on inside.

Qi Wuguo said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with this village, let's go."

Although he would not sit back and ignore the dangers of others, but when the village was obviously in extreme danger, he would not risk his life knowingly to confirm Jiang Lihui's safety.

It's just that the original intention of the game is to let the players struggle to survive under the threat of death, so how could Qi Wuguo be easily let go of this vicious game.

He was just about to leave when a translucent task box appeared in front of him.

Role task: live broadcast, please lead your audience to visit the village scenery.

Failure penalty: Customs clearance failure.

Qi Wuguo cursed in a low voice: "Go to your village!"

Duan Li glanced at him and asked, "What?"

Qi Wuguo said: "You go back first, I will do the role mission."

This crisis was originally caused by his own recklessness, Qi Wuguo would not ask Duan Li to pay for him.

Unexpectedly, Duan Li walked in the direction of the village after listening.

Qi Wuguo chased after him a few steps, and said, "The owner of the shop just now was a scarecrow, there must be something wrong with this village."

Duan Li said: "As I said, it is easier to die in this game than to escape."

Qi Wuguo saw that the other party's attitude was firm, so he didn't say anything more, and the two walked towards the dark village.
