Doomsday Carnival

In the talking, two people came down from the upper floor of the small building. At first, the man who was in a hurry was not able to read the words on the note, and photographed it directly on the table.

I just comforted Lin Yining's girl with glasses and whispered: "It's not evening, we have time to discuss the countermeasures."

"That's exactly what I want to ask." Lin Yining looked around and counted. Now that the copy has been opened, there should be six people. In the current room, he, the girl with glasses, the man reading the note, plus the man and woman who have just come down, there are only five people. Lin Yining did not ask where the other person went, and went directly into the program: "How long have you been in the copy, did you notice any clues?"

Among the men and women who had just come down, the man's face was unswerving, and the girl seemed to have no words to speak. He poked a handful of hair, his eyes didn't know where he was going. The man who just started reading the note also said, "What are you asking so much? Pretend?"

Lin Yining said, "Do you want to die?"

Lin Yining's sudden and tough attitude broke the four people in the living room unexpectedly.

"I'm not kidding you, so I'm not intimidating you." Lin Yining said: "I'm just stating the facts. If you look for clues in the copy to be defined as pretending by you, you will still be a little more suicidal. "He paused, and then said: "Often in the copy, suicide would be better than dying in the hands of monsters."

"Frighten people, who has never had a copy." Lin Yining's hard-backed man said flatly, and then he hid behind, no longer making a noise. Lin Yining's eyes turned around a few of them, thinking to himself, these people are not good candidates for teammates. If they are not tough, they might be planted here this time.

So Lin Yining directly fell into the face: "The ugly saying is in front of me, I would rather bring a waste, rather than a brainless person who will only be behind the teammates. Don't let me discover that you have such a tendency, otherwise for me I live alone, I don’t mind killing you directly."

Several people were silent, no one spoke again this time.

"Very well, if there is no other opinion, you can go back to my original question." Lin Yining looked at a few people and said, "I repeat my question again. During the period of time you live here, there are Did not notice anything wrong."

The anxious man who was faced by Lin Yining didn’t look away, and he was simply non-violent and uncooperative. As for the other man, he looked at you as if he was acting forcefully. The thin long-haired girl looked away aside. Who am I, who is where I am at a loss, only the literary girl who first talked, said weakly: "After entering the copy, I... I have stayed in the room except for dinner."

Lin Yining looked at her blank and innocent, and suddenly felt that several teammates this time may be worse than expected.

"Are you entering the copy for the first time?" He originally asked with a bit of temptation. Unexpectedly, the literary girl nodded.

"I entered this copy, in fact, it was an accident." She said weakly: "I haven't had a copy since I came to the game. I found a job in Central City and I've been doing it. Later... I met I got a strange little shop, the name of the shop is Xinxiangshicheng...I bought a pendant in it, and it was sent in."

"That shop is in the center city?" Lin Yining asked.

"Yes, Central City." She replied: "I live in the Twin Cities."

In this way, Lin Yining finally knows the reason for the "unprofessional" attitude of these temporary teammates. The copy may face edge players who have no experience at all. This item does not know how to get Duan Muxiao. He is the one in this copy. Heterogeneous.

Fortunately, such an identity can provide him with some convenience. At least, they will not be too disobedient.

Lin Yining rubbed his forehead and said, "Since this is the case, I think you have not passed each other's names yet?"

"...Yes." The literary girl whispered.

"Then introduce yourself." Lin Yining increased his tone again: "Don't let me talk for the second time-there is another player, where is he?"

"Bao is not allowed to be dead." A sneer came suddenly next to him, who had been lifting the bar to Lin Yining: "The cowardly thing, found that the game has already started, so scared to commit suicide."

"I just saw him come down, he should go to the toilet." Wenyi girl said.

The elf stared at him coldly with gem-like beautiful red eyes. The person who just spoke didn't use it immediately, and immediately took a step back and said, "Fan Heng, my name is Fan Heng."

Literary girl: "My name is Lianqing."

A man and a woman who came down also reported their names.

The arrogant man said, "My name is Chen Zilian."

The indifferent girl said, "Chu Qiqi."

"You... have you started the task?" A weak voice came from behind. Several people looked over and found another boy, who was not very young, wearing an old loose t-shirt. He Whispered: "Are you going to introduce yourself? My name is Qian Xiaoyong."

Fan Heng lifted the bar like a conditioned reflex, and whispered: "What a courage to be so timid."

Qian Xiaoyong shuddered, lowered his head, flushed, and said nothing.

Lin Yining said: "I see it, maybe you all have no experience in copying, and coincidentally, I..." He glanced around at several people and said, "I also have no experience as a kindergarten teacher. Believe After the first night, you will have a deeper understanding of what the copy in the game is like - maybe not, because at least after the novice copy you don’t care about your life."

He said: "Maybe some things, I'd better come back to ask tomorrow."

Lin Yining glanced at the clocks hanging on the wall of the restaurant. The time is now 4 pm.

"It's going to be dark after eight o'clock. I will come down during dinner and storytelling. I hope that by that time, you can be a little more sober."

After he had said all the things he thought he should say, he nodded to everyone and left the restaurant. Literary girl Lian Qing looked at Lin Yining, and then looked at the people standing there, gritted her teeth, and finally caught up with Lin Yining.

The first floor of this small building has a kitchen, dining room and a small toilet. As for the guest rooms, they are arranged on the second floor. After catching up with Lin Yining, Lianqing said to him: "You... come with me, I have something to tell you."

She took Lin Yining up the second floor and looked at a row of rooms, adding: "The room with the sign on the door is occupied by someone. Now there are five rooms already occupied, only one is left. The innermost."

She took Lin Yining past, pushed the door open, and Lin Yining saw the scenery inside.

This is a small room of less than twenty square meters, about five meters long and four meters wide. The decoration is simple and warm. There is a small desk next to the window. There is a clothes rack next to the desk. A small, rustic sofa was placed right in front of the desk, and the rest was the bed. Perhaps it is because it is used to open a homestay, there is not much storage space in the entire room, everything is clear at a glance.

"My room is the same, the pattern is similar." Lian Qingli Lin Lining dusted the already neat sheets, said: "I've sneaked in to see before, and found nothing here."

Lin Yining said: "It may be because the copy has not officially started, there may be clues now, you can go back and find it."

"Okay, I remember." Lian Qing courageously asked Lin Yining: "You and we seem to be different, why did you enter this copy?"

Lin Yining: "Does this help to pass the copy?"

Lin Yining didn't really want to say.

"Sorry." Lian Qing lowered his head and said, "I..."

"Okay." Lin Yining stopped her apology and said directly: "Aren't you saying that there is any clue? You can say it now."

"I... I'm really not very good at communication, but in the game world, if there are no teammates, it is difficult to survive in the copy." She said this slowly, and after speaking, she seemed to be afraid of Lin Yining. Impatiently, quickly said: "The clues I noticed are related to this point. Because I found out that the few of us have something in common."

"Someone is arrogant, some are pretentious, some are bluffing, some seem to be committing suicide at any time..." she recalled: "In my experience of reading novels, this is probably a clue. The shop appeared very casual, I was in a bad mood that day. I saw it on the road, and suddenly there was a strong urge to drive me in..."

"I will look for it the next day, and it will disappear." Lian Qing said: "It has certain rules for selecting people. The other four people told me that my guess was correct until you came in."

Lin Yining said: "My pendant was given by a friend."

"Sure enough, you are very different from us." Lian Qing said: "I have a ruthless request, if you still have the spare time when copying, can you help me?"

Lin Yining looked at her for a few seconds and said, "Yes."

Lian Qing was relieved.

"I came in because the night after I bought the pendant, someone was asking me if I wanted to change everything, I agreed, so I came in." She whispered: "No matter what, I really Don't want to die..."

Lin Yining said: "You will not die."

Hearing Lin Yining's promise, Lian Qing seemed to have received some life-saving straw. After Lin Yining sent her away, he toured the room again.

The room was cleaned, including the bottom of the bed, there was nothing dirty.

After he removed the sofa, Lin Yining finally found something under the sofa.

It was a notebook with the cover saying: "First night."

It's white inside and nothing.

Lin Yining put the notebook on the desk, sitting by the chair in front of the desk, thinking about everything in the copy.

What Lianqing said just now is not unreasonable. This rule for selecting a copy is just one, that is, it is very similar to the ordinary people outside the copy, very normal.

As for why, more clues should be needed to explain.

.

Dinner is very rich, really like in the game, when the time is up, dinner is refreshed on the table.

But the atmosphere on the dinner table is not so good.

Lin Yining ate his meal quietly, only moving the dishes in front of him, and the others were almost like this. One meal was very silent, and no one wanted to say something extra.

After eating, the food on the table was refreshed and disappeared.

There is an additional note on the table:

The first line of the note is a very tilde. It seems that some of the notes want to make themselves more lively.

Lin Yining skipped this line if it didn't matter and looked directly at the next line.

There is a refreshing thing on the table without warning, a bit like a compass, but its needle tip has only one end and the other end is flat.

The handwriting on the note has stopped, and no matter how they turn it over and over, there is nothing more on it. Everyone circulated this note and put it on the table, and no one spoke. The thing on the table turned without warning, and everyone held their breath, afraid that it would point to themselves.

The tip of the needle turned madly round and round, and finally it pointed to Lian Qing who talked most to Lin Yining.

The expressions of gloating and misfortune appeared on the rest of the people's faces. Only Qing Qing's face was full of despair.

"It's just storytelling, no big deal." Lin Yining said, "Tell it."

Lian Qing seemed to get some encouragement from Lin Yining, staring at this thing, his voice trembled, and began to say:

"The story I want to tell happened to a family of three. They just came to the new city and moved into a small building, but they encountered a lot of strange things. Then they learned that the house they live in is The haunted house, whose previous owner was also a family of three, was very happy, but one day, they encountered an accident, a fire broke out in this house, and all three of the family died in it, and no one came out."

"After knowing the truth, the first reaction of the father in the family was to go to the original homeowner for reasoning. Anyone with a little legal knowledge knew that when buying and selling a house, such a thing as a dead person must not be concealed. He did not expect to be angry. Chong Chong looked over and the person who sold him the house was also dead."

"And the death was very miserable. The father returned home, the more he thought, the more wrong he was, and he turned around all night, finally determined that his family could not stay here anyway, and the next morning, the neighbors knocked on them After the door of the house, it was found that the family was dead."

"This incident spread quickly, and countless rumors were coming. The truth that came out in the end was roughly like this. The family originally lived in a family of three. The father was a gambler and an alcoholic. The mother was very cowardly, so she never had the guts to divorce. Only the child has always hated such a life and his father, but this hatred has brought him the scourge of murder. In a rebellion, the father killed him."

"After the child was killed, the father wanted to threaten his mother to help him deal with the scene. They embedded the child’s body in the wall and announced that the child went to play at the grandma’s house. As for what happened to the fire, no one knew. ."

The last word of Lianqing's words fell, and the lights suddenly went out. In the darkness, everyone was a little flustered.

"Note... Did the handwriting on the note change?" someone asked.

Lin Yining looked over there and realised that the writing on the note was not the same as it was just now.

"Power outage, or..." Or is it a part of the design behind the game? Lian Qing said tremblingly.

Lin Yining stood up and said, "I'll see-where is the electric switch? If there is a power outage, there should be candles. Do you know where there are candles?"

"Under the TV cabinet, there is a packet of candles." Another girl who had been rarely talking suddenly made a sound, and Lin Yining had the opportunity to take a good look at her through the candlelight.

She has long straight black hair and a slender body with a wide skirt, which looks like she is floating on her body. His face was not good-looking or beautiful. She was completely covered by a unique temperament. Her pale lips seemed to be seriously ill.

The person who wants to commit suicide should be her.

Lin Yining thought, and went to the living room. The living room and dining room are located diagonally diagonally, just a few steps away. As for the electric gate in the kitchen, the door opens in the living room.

He first checked the switch and found that he didn't jump, so he could only get the candle. As for whether there is a problem with the circuit in the entire room, it does not matter to these ordinary players. Lin Yining found a pack of white candles under the TV cabinet, and the other party put a lighter here intimately.

Lin Yining lit a candle and took it to the restaurant.

In the faint fire, he seemed to see something on the wall.

As if it were just an illusion, the shadow was like lightning in the rain, and it disappeared in a flash.

He took back the candle, picked up the paper on the table, looked at the edge of the fire, and read the handwriting:

As soon as he finished reading, the edge of the note ignited, but Lin Yining did not put the note on the flame of the candle. Before anyone complained, the candle light went out.

The fire of the paper became the only light source, and Lin Yining tried to use it to relight the candle. But it burned so fast that Lin Yining's hand was about to burn. He had to let it go and let the note fall to the ground.

The orange firelight gradually fell out like a falling butterfly. The only light source disappeared, the pure darkness ushered in the room, and then lit up again, bringing them back to the world, not the light, but the moonlight.

The rain outside doesn't know when it has stopped. It is obvious from the restaurant window that there are plants outside, but Lin Yining always feels that the plants I see now are a little different from the ones I just saw.

He looked at it, and the dining table in front of him was not the same as before. A wood-shaped table cloth was added to the log-shaped dining table, and a meal that smelled badly was placed on it. Three bowls of noodles, with a plate of pickles in the middle, has a pungent taste.

Diagonally, in the living room, there was a sound of something crossing the ground, thorns, thorns, and weeping of women.

A car drove outside, and the lights shone into the windows, shining on the faces of the six players. They only discovered that two people were hiding in the corner of the restaurant.

The mother hugged her child, a chubby kid, four or five years old.

She widened her eyes in horror, begging them not to speak.

The sound of people's teeth is getting closer and closer, and players look back. What they saw was a tall scorched corpse, dragging an axe to this side.

In the story just now, Lian Qing told a story where a family of three was killed by a dead soul in a haunted house. The scene in front of me was probably the night when the souls were killed.

The edge players who have been hiding in the ivory tower reflect that they are no better than the victims. They have been screaming with the man who lifted the bar with Lin Yining and hid under the table. Lin Yining directly summoned the bow and aimed at the scorched corpse. One arrow!

The scorched body fell to the ground, motionless.

Lin Yining reached out to Lianqing and said, "Go."

Lian Qing stumbled up and followed Lin Yining forward.

"Now... what to do now?" she said with a trembling voice.

"Depending on the situation, first find a safe place." Lin Yining said. Since he promised Lianqing to protect her, he would not go back on his word.

The surroundings are clearly the two-story building in progress, but they strangely coincide with the house in the mission. There are also two doors on the first floor, leading to the toilet and kitchen, and the living room and dining room are open spaces connecting.

The scene in the open space is unobstructed. Lin Yining also wanted to see what was in the toilet and kitchen on the first floor.

He opened the kitchen door. Inside, he saw a half-rotten bone, not tall, only one meter two, three, he tilted his head, ready to light the room.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Yining, a smile on his rotten lips.
