The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPC
Chapter 68: Island (1)
The whine of the wind.
The screeching sound of something sharp cutting across another solid object.
The clack of flat paddles against the water.
There was a clatter of small water splashes on the rocks.
Small bubbles pop out of the water with a crackling grunt.
Once again, the evolved hearing presented the other side of the world in front of him.
When I opened my eyes, there were wisps of remnant clouds in the gray sky. The open area was the sea, but it was also gray, as if a funeral home filter had been added.
He was standing on a rocky shore, holding an iron hook with a curved front in his right hand and a red bucket in his left with a layer of shallow water in it. He was wearing a green plastic waterproof suit and his hair was blown in a mess.
Behind him, like an island.
The reason why he said it seemed like it was because he had never seen such a strange island. It was like a witch's hat.
here it is?
"Hoshino! What are you doing?"
Turning around, he saw a middle-aged man in front of him, with a big belly, the middle of his waterproof suit protruding, his white skin was reddened from the sun, and he was playing with an old-fashioned hand-cranked water pump.
One end of the water pump is connected to a puddle, an irregular puddle of five or six meters in diameter, surrounded by green plants like wakame.
The middle-aged man shook the handle rhythmically, and the water was pumped from the pit to the other side, the sound of water rushing.
Ren Yifei was standing in the puddle at the moment, the water did not reach his knees. With sharp eyes, he also saw a stone crab hurriedly run by, and the whole cat entered the cave under the stone.
Obviously, this is a shallow pit formed by the accumulation of seawater left behind after the high tide, and looking at the size of the wakame, it has been formed for a period of time.
With plenty of food (wakame), puddles that won't dry up, and sometimes marine life brought in by the waves, there must be plenty of seafood in this puddle.
Then the emergence of hand-operated water pumps is easy to understand. They are pumping water to catch the sea.
"Strange, why do I always feel that something is wrong. It seems that the taste of the sea breeze is more salty and wet than I remembered. Is it because I am too sensitive?"
"Xingye." The middle-aged man on the other side with the plastic bucket looked over again, staring at the motionless Ren Yifei with a displeased expression on his face.
Before he could ask more questions, Ren Yifei bent down and started pulling the puddle with an iron hook. The hook swiped at the bottom of the sand, and the water surface was dizzy with a cloud of sludge, and there was no trace of seafood.
"You can't do this, you have to put your hand in and touch it." The middle-aged man pointed at him.
Looking at the non-waterproof cotton glove on his hand, he stretched out his hand after being silent for two seconds. As soon as he touched the water, he couldn't help shivering: "It's ice."
His actions washed away the doubts in the middle-aged man's eyes, and the middle-aged man accelerated his pumping speed: "Today there are strong winds and big waves. Big waves will bring the gift of the sea. Today will definitely be a bumper harvest."
The middle-aged man said happily while observing the movement of the puddle.
This middle-aged man doesn't seem to have grown up by the sea, he is familiar with catching the sea.
Because he didn't know what character the original owner was or what their relationship was, Ren Yifei hesitated for a while and didn't reply rashly.
As a result, the middle-aged man didn't need anyone else to respond at all. He said to himself, "The weather was like this last time. I caught a big lobster that weighed more than a pound and sold it for more than two hundred."
This middle-aged man was a talker, he never stopped talking, and he was very happy talking by himself, and there was absolutely no chance for Ren Yifei to intervene.
The only thing he has to do is mechanically bend over to find seafood. This seemingly light but heavy physical work quickly exhausts him.
However, Ren Yifei still showed no signs of fatigue. The original owner had honey-colored skin, and his arms were covered with beautifully-shaped muscles. It seemed that he was not someone who was not good at physical work.
At least a sporty one.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the hook in his hand hit something, it didn't look like a stone, Ren Yifei tried to hook it with an iron hook, and a black thing was hooked out.
"What good things have you found?" The middle-aged man also looked over, and when he saw it, he almost didn't smile, "So this is it? Throw it aside, turn around and put it in the trash. Hey... these two months. More and more of these things are coming up.”
Looking at the black leather shoes that had been soaked on the hook, Ren Yifei was about to throw a stone on it. A small stone crab emerged from it, and the big tongs grabbed a piece of whitish flesh.
This little flesh has thick curly flat hair, very much like... the hair of a human lower body.
The fishy smell of the sea breeze didn't make him vomit, but this piece of flesh made him gag.
The rotten leather shoes and the stone crab inside were thrown to the shore, Ren Yifei turned his back and took a few deep breaths to calm down.
There will be no meaningless details in the dungeon. What are the hints of this small piece of human flesh and this pair of soaked leather shoes?
"A lot of this garbage?" Ren Yifei asked.
The middle-aged man was pumping water. Hearing this, he thought for a while: "There are quite a few, clothes, shoes, and bags..."
As soon as these pieces of information came out, Ren Yifei didn't even think about it, and then asked, "Has the cruise ship sank recently?" Otherwise, why are there all such things?
"Bah!" The middle-aged man felt unlucky, "How do I know that the wind is getting bigger and bigger, so why don't you hurry up and look for it?"
Helpless, he lowered his head and continued searching.
"Huhuhu." The special voice went from far to near. When he looked up, it was a drone, and it circled in the sky.
"What time is it now?" Thinking of this, he glanced at his left hand subconsciously. However, he did not wear a watch on his left hand, but a delicate-looking mechanical watch on his right.
left handed?
The metal strap, with different lengths on both sides, has been adjusted, and now it just fits on the wrist, neither loose nor tight.
When the watch slides up and down, you can see an inconspicuous white circle on the wrist.
It can be seen that this watch is commonly used by the original owner.
The dial of the watch reflects a faint blue light, and there are many small scratches on the metal ring on the side, but the surface of the dial is very smooth.
It is an expensive sapphire dial.
Listen to the sound of the mechanical operation of the watch: there is a fine clicking sound when the precision gears are linked, and other noises are basically inaudible.
The original owner wears a medium-to-high-end watch all the year round, and his economic situation should be acceptable.
Look at the hands again.
The skin on the palms of the hands is delicate, the skin on the back of the hands has no obvious fine lines and is full of collagen.
Twenty years or less, very young.
There are no calluses on the tiger's mouth, no deformation of the nails, no dead skin on the tip of the nails, clean gaps in the nails, and no long-term physical work.
There are calluses on the side of the left middle finger, and I hold a pen all the year round.
student.
He wears a watch in his right hand, a pen in his left hand, and is left-handed.
The original owner was a student under the age of 20, with good financial conditions, and was left-handed.
This student is pumping water and rushing to the sea with a middle-aged man of unknown identity. What are they doing?
"It would be great if I could get some fresh seafood," the middle-aged man pumped water. "Lobster, stonefish, catch a few more, and your tuition will be paid."
tuition fee?
Why, did the original owner have a broken family or just went bankrupt, and could afford a good watch, but couldn't even afford this tuition fee?
There are contradictions and doubts all over his body, but Ren Yifei's face does not change his expression: "Yes."
"Huh?" The man straightened up and gave him a smile, "I think you're a good-natured child, not as unkind as they say. In fact, it's okay to have a bad temper, go to a big city and be bullied by others. You can choke."
In this regard, Ren Yifei was just silent and did not speak.
Impersonal, bad-tempered? What a bad law?
After the Oolong incident of "He Jun", Ren Yifei did not dare to directly determine the basic character of the character set, and he did not want to perform the online personality split again.
This is the last resort. It can only be said that it goes off the beaten path, which greatly violates the original intention of the performance.
Facing Ren Yifei's indifference, the man was not surprised. After talking for a while, he felt thirsty, picked up the drinking cup on the reef, and filled half a bottle.
Turning his eyes to other places, the sea breeze today is surprisingly strong, the weather is also gloomy, the shape of the clouds is a bit strange, and the ships at sea are gradually invisible.
The sound of the waves and the wind grew louder, and the wind blew on his face, causing a tingling sensation. But what made him most uncomfortable was not the wind, but the damp and cold feeling.
It was summer, but his legs and feet were cold and cold.
"Ouch, I'll go get some water first." The middle man put down the handle of the water pump in his hand and ran to the shore.
It wasn't until the opponent's back disappeared behind the rock that Ren Yifei stood up, twisted his sore waist, and shook his numb and stiff arms.
He quickly glanced around, there was no one, not even a seabird, but he still felt like he was being observed. By bending over to find the seafood under the stone, Ren Yifei quickly glanced at the game card in his hand:
[One of the players is a murderer, find it, or live for seven days. 】
[Identity: Player. 】
[Character: Islander. 】
[Role mission: Escape. 】
[Keywords: island. 】
【12】
Stand up again, only two seconds later. Enough is enough, he has seen the information clearly.
The key word is the island, the role task is to escape, and the island refers to where he is standing now? So leaving means leaving this island to start a new life?
These two pieces of information left him scratching his head.
Just as he was thinking about it, there were very light footsteps behind the rock. Ren Yifei immediately restrained his mind, continued to remove the big stone, and used iron hooks to find seafood. There are many poisonous things in the sea, such as the venomous thorns on the stone fish, he will not touch it easily.
The wind is getting stronger and the sky is getting darker.
The man staggered back from there: "How is it? Did you see anything good in the pool?"
"No." Ren Yifei's voice was drowned in the whistling wind.
The next second his iron hook got stuck, digging into something soft and elastic. He subconsciously remembered the piece of flesh with hair on it.
A piece of fish head surfaced, accompanied by a dizzy red liquid, white fish eyes stared at him, and the fracture was still bleeding.
Smells fishy.
Facing the sharp fracture of the fish's head, he stayed for a while.
The fish was just dead, right in front of his eyes, but he had no idea what killed it. A fish with a thick bowl mouth, without even a trace of struggle, was directly broken into two parts, and the other part was unknown.
He scratched the water hard with the iron hook, but there was nothing in it. But he knew that something must be looking at him through the water.
"It's a mink fish." The middle-aged man glanced at it, "You cut it with a hook? It looks quite big, but it's a pity."
Ren Yifei did not explain.
The two continued to pump water and move stones one by one. It took almost an hour to scoop out most of the remaining water in the puddle, and the marine life below was slowly exposed to the shallower water.
The wind was stronger, the weather was colder, and the sky was lowered.
Pumping water for an hour or even two hours, it takes only half an hour to really catch seafood.
Black snapper, Shi Jiugong, conger eel, stone crab, Pipi shrimp...
There are indeed a lot of good things in this puddle with a lot of food. Although there are many that Ren Yifei can't recognize, he also knows from the performance of the middle-aged man that he should have earned it.
Once again, he lifted a stone and picked up a motionless stone crab. Ren Yifei's bucket was half full.
He was a little absent-minded.
The opening of this dungeon seems to be peaceful in daily life, and it seems a little unusual in this daily life, which is really elusive.
There was another slight squeaking sound, especially like a crustacean's claws grasping a stone. He recognized the direction of the sound and walked there.
"Hoshino."
Ren Yifei stopped.
The middle-aged man stopped him: "It's almost there, let's go. Let's go to the market and sell it. It's hard to sell it when it's dead."
As he spoke, he picked up a bucket full of fish, shrimp and crabs and walked to the shore.
"Yeah." Without any hesitation, Ren Yifei also carried the bucket and turned around and walked out of the puddle, leaving a trail of water behind him.
"How far is the market?"
"Oh, it's very close, it won't take ten minutes, I have a car." The middle-aged man pointed to the side of the road.
Ren Yifei looked over and saw a scooter, which had been transformed into an electric tricycle.
After the rumbling of the motor, there was no trace of human beings on the coast.
Many large bubbles suddenly appeared in the puddle where there was still a lot of stagnant water. Gurgling, within seconds, the water in the puddle was completely drained.
