Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 375 Behind the Closed Store

"When asked how to open the easter eggs, I was curious, because there are no easter eggs in our scene," Zhao Baihuan twisted his fingers together, "I thought it was Qianle or other shop assistants who added them to the scene. Some free-play content made the player mistakenly think it was an easter egg, but the player directly took out his mobile phone and showed me the group file in a room escape exchange group he was in. It turned out to be calculated by different players. The so-called easter eggs I met in my shop..."

  Zhao Baihuan said, his body trembled slightly.

  The voltage is a bit unstable, and the lights are flickering and dimming. In this environment, everyone gathered in a circle and listened to Zhao Baihuan’s description of the strange things in the secret room.

  The chief Taoist looked around, pointed to the box in the corner and said to Zhao Baihuan, “It’s okay, take your time, sit down and talk.”

  Zhao Baihuan swallowed, "By the way... the room in front is a restaurant-style room, we can go and sit there."

  So, a group of people crowded around the stone table painted with an unknown red liquid, and sat in a circle around the stone table.

  The atmosphere is even stranger.

"After reading the statistics of those people, I discovered that the same little boy's figure has also appeared in many other players' games. The room and location where the players encountered the little boy are basically different, even Others said that they had seen the figure of the child in the bus, but the figure of the child they had seen had one thing in common. It suddenly appeared, and disappeared again as the light dimmed, and, The child never deliberately frightened them, on the contrary, every time it seemed to be guiding them the next step. Because of the uncertainty of the child’s appearance, this matter was widely circulated among players, and everyone wanted to come over. Find a way to open a new easter egg..."

   "In the surveillance, I must have never photographed that child." Jasmine murmured.

  Zhao Baihuan nodded, “Yes, sometimes, from the state of the player in the video, you can clearly tell what the player is communicating with, but it looks like the player is talking to the air.”

  This...

   Xiaolan frowned and put her arms on her chest.

   refers to their field of expertise.

  "Have you ever doubted?" the fool asked, "the identity of the child."

"I...I felt it for the first time, of course I thought it was me..." Zhao Baihuan's eyes lightened briefly for a few seconds and then dimmed. "Qianle and I both wondered, maybe, is there such a possibility that it is Wan Sheng Well, of course, we can’t verify it either."

   "You can find a few players who have seen the child, show them Wan Sheng's photos, and ask them to help confirm it." Qin Yin suggested.

"It's not that we haven't thought about it that way," Zhao Baihuan said vaguely, "It's just... we have been thinking about what excuses we can find to reasonably obtain clues from the player at once. After all... …After all, from a commercial point of view, we are sellers and we belong to the party that needs to remain mysterious. Therefore, I discussed with Qianle and decided to temporarily close the scene. Before the situation becomes more serious, I will find a way to investigate... …"

   "Ah, let me just say it," Qiao Nian laughed, "Then what kind of door is broken is an excuse, there is no reason why a broken door will close the shop..."

   "So how are you going to investigate now?" the fool asked bluntly.

Zhao Baihuan lowered his head dejectedly, and shook his head again, "Now...not yet, Qianle and I don't want to let the shop assistants understand these things, so...everything needs to be planned by ourselves. First of all...maybe we both I will find a way to enter the player communication group. Let’s first count the appearance of the child, but neither of us is very good at lying. Although we are only talking on the Internet, we have to play several roles for each of us. difficult."

"I see," Luo Jiutian raised his hand suddenly, "I fainted at the door last night. It should be the fuse that made you finally decide to close the store. Do you think that the child finally didn't Satisfied with just showing up in front of the player and starting to cause harm to the player instead?"

  Zhao Baihuan’s head dropped lower. He did not speak, but they all understood what he meant.

  If it was just an ordinary lonely ghost, the Zhao family brothers would broaden their knowledge at best.

  But if that child is really ten thousand lives, then, no matter whether he hurts others or not, as an older brother, he cannot sit idly by, and he even needs to bear certain responsibilities.

  Zhao Baihuan’s entanglement and pain were all written on his face, and he was pulling his fingernails hard at this time.

  The crowd was silent for a while.

   "Where is your brother?" The fool asked in a deliberately relaxed tone, "Isn't the two of you planning this together? You are the only one to close the shop?"

"I asked him... to pretend to be a player first and go to other secret rooms to experience it," Zhao Baihuan was a little embarrassed. "Of course, the main purpose is to get to know senior players, and then enter the chat group through senior players to get more clues, but … It’s also very important to go to good colleagues to observe and learn.”

  Speaking of this, a string of loud telephone ringing suddenly rang, and everyone in the circle felt trembling.

  It turned out to be Zhao Baihuan’s own cell phone.

  He took out his phone and glanced at the call reminder, "It's my brother."

  Everyone is quiet in seconds.

   "Qianle," Zhao Baihuan answered the phone gently, "Why, is there any progress?"

After   , I stopped and waited for a few seconds.

   "Don't worry, don't worry," Zhao Baihuan seemed to put on an elder's strategizing expression, "This is just the beginning, let's take it slowly..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Baihuan waved to them, "Qianle said that he did not get a clue today. Unfortunately, he said that the teammates he formed today are basically new players, and most of them have never heard of us. In the store, I don’t know much about the Easter eggs, and... and he said that because it is tiring to bring new players into the secret room, he didn’t pay much attention to the setting of the scene puzzle..."

  In general, this unreliable plan showed its unreliability from the very beginning.

   "It's okay," Zhao Baihuan let out his eyes as if he comforted himself, "There is still a chance in the future..."

  Jasmine looked at Zhao Baihuan, who was desperate, and then at Luo Jiutian's innocent look.

  Finally, she summoned her courage, stood up, and approached Zhao Baihuan.

   "I have an idea."

  Tao Master glanced at Jasmine approvingly, waiting for her to continue.

  A circle of curious eyes.

   "Otherwise, let's take your place and investigate the scene where the kid appeared, how about?"
