44. I have a date with a corpse (2)
Everyone was a little frightened in the kitchen. After returning to the lobby, they did not find the boss lady. So they discussed going out to find out the situation, collected some necessary information, and bought some food from the locals. As for the missing Xiao Qing, if she was "dead", it would be equivalent to being eliminated. There was no need to find her again. If she was still alive, she would always come back.
The crowd was divided into three groups and headed to different directions. Finally, they met in the hotel to exchange information. The external environment was public information, but the task clues were only allowed to participate. If two or more people were found at the same time, they could follow up together, but the more people, the greater the chance of being chased by "ghosts". Moreover, this game also has a certain degree of competitiveness. Whoever can pass the level will get the final gift package.
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to the hotel one after another. The tables in the lobby were cleaned up. Everyone sat together and began to share the information they collected. The first thing was this hotel. I heard from the townsmen that this place was originally just an ordinary house, the owner's surname was Wang, but he died of illness five years ago, leaving behind a mute widow in his twenties. In order to make a living, she changed the house into a hotel to entertain tourists. Because of her withdrawn personality and a mute, she lived in simplicity and rarely dealt with other townsmen. Everyone saw that she was lonely and helpless, and if any passengers came, they would give priority to bringing people here.
"So she is a mute, no wonder she has never spoken." Huang Wei looked suddenly.
"So, the ghost of this hotel is probably the widow's husband?" Zhu Shanhu guessed.
"It's hard to say." Cheng Ziming touched his chin, "The pass conditions for each link are different. Even if we determine the identity of the ghost, we don't know what to do next, whether to kill him, find his corpse, or investigate his real cause of death? The only thing that is certain is that our first level is this hotel."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Wan Feng said carelessly: "Today is just the first day of the game. You can't do anything without mission clues. Let's break up first. The highlight will be the beginning tomorrow."
The others had no objection, so they fetched water and washed it, and then returned to the room.
Zhu Shanhu pushed open the door and was about to enter when he saw a person lying on the bed, with his back facing her, covering the shadow, like a black human-shaped cocoon.
Zhu Shanhu was scared, grabbed Yi Zheyan who was passing by behind her, and whispered: "There is a person lying on my bed..."
Yi Zheyan leaned over and said, "It seems that it is Xiao Qing who disappeared before."
Zhu Shanhu carefully identified it and saw that her figure looked very much like Xiao Qing. She breathed a sigh of relief. After thanking Yi Zheyan, she walked into the room gently and closed the door.
Yi Zheyan stood at the door for a while, but in the end he did not remind Zhu Shanhu that Xiao Qing had disappeared for so long and might have become a "ghost" and was not trustworthy. Seeing her unprepared silly and sweet appearance, he was too lazy to say this, and turned around and walked towards his room.
There is no entertainment in the town, so I usually go to bed at around nine o'clock and go to bed. Zhu Shanhu admires Xiao Qing very much and dares to go back to the room to sleep alone.
She took off her shoes, lifted the quilt and lay on the bed without sleepiness, so she had to take out her phone to pass the time. There was no signal in the hotel, so she could only play some boring games.
She was in a bad mood since she came to this town, but there were hidden lenses everywhere, so she couldn't reveal them.
The room was extremely quiet, with only the slight vibration of the cell phone and the sound of her own breathing.
Hum? Breathing sound? Zhu Shanhu suddenly felt something was wrong. Xiao Qing lying beside her was so quiet, so quiet that it seemed to not exist.
She felt a little scared, hesitated for a while, tried to push her shoulder, and called out: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing..."
Just as she was about to get closer, she heard a creaking sound, Xiao Qing's head suddenly rolled down from her neck and turned around, just in time to face Zhu Shanhu. In the dim light, her bloody eyes stared at her.
"Ah--" A scream broke the dead silence of the night.
Zhu Shanhu didn't wear shoes either, so he jumped out of the bed in panic, rushed out of the room like an escape, and slapped Yi Zheyan's door next door.
"What's wrong?" Yi Zheyan opened the door and looked at Zhu Shanhu's bloodless face.
Zhu Shanhu pointed to her room and said tremblingly: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing is dead..."
Yi Zheyan walked out of the room, took the door, and followed her to the next door. He saw the "thing" with the separated body on the bed. He walked over, lifted the head, and said to Zhu Shanhu: "It's just a dummy."
"Dumb?" Zhu Shanhu patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was furious again, scolding the planning team in her heart, whether to make it so realistic!
Yi Zheyan's eyes moved slightly, and his fingers touched something on his head. He took it out quietly and put it into his palm.
"I'll help you get the dummy out, you can continue to rest." Yi Zheyan walked out of the room with his head in one hand and holding the dummy in the other.
Zhu Shanhu held his sleeve and looked at him beggingly: "I dare not sleep alone..."
"I am a man, and it is not convenient to have sex with you." Seeing her look as if the end of the world was coming, Yi Zheyan said lightly, "Since I have decided to participate in a supernatural program, I should be prepared to meet fear. This situation will continue to happen, so you'd better adapt as soon as possible."
After saying that, he didn't care about Zhu Shanhu's reaction and walked out with a dummy.
Zhu Shanhu looked at his back in a depressed manner, and his eyes fell on the head he was holding in his hand, which was facing her. The moment she saw that face, she felt like she fell into an ice cave, and she was cold from the beginning to the point of her feet.
She clearly remembered that when she saw it for the first time, the dummy's face was expressionless, and now, a strange smile appeared on its face... Watching Yi Zheyan disappear at the end of the corridor, Zhu Shanhu was limp all over, leaning against the door frame for a while, and then hid in her room tremblingly.
On the other hand, Yi Zheyan threw the dummy into the hotel yard, then returned to the lobby, took out the thing he had just found, a small rolled paper mark.
Open the paper sign and it reads: [Enter the penultimate room on the right side of the corridor and find the widow's hairpin]
Yi Zheyan stuffed the paper stick into his pocket and walked towards the instructions.
The second-last room on the right side of the corridor is next to the boss's wife. Yi Zheyan took a light step, tried not to make any noise, quietly came to the door, held the door handle, turned it little by little, and slowly pushed the door open.
The room was pitch black. Yi Zheyan groped on the wall for a while, found the light switch, and pressed it a few times, but the light did not light up. It was obvious that the light in this room was broken.
Yi Zheyan took out his cell phone, raised his hand and took a photo. He suddenly saw a black and white photo placed on the altar in front. The photo shows a man with deep eyes, expressionless face, and his empty eyes staring straight at him.
Yi Zheyan's breathing was short and subconsciously moved away from his cell phone. He guessed in his heart that the man in the photo should be the boss's wife's dead husband.
The light of the cell phone swept to the corner next to the altar, where there was a dark coffin.
Yi Zheyan secretly wondered, the boss's husband had been buried, why was there still a coffin in the room? Did the boss's wife keep her husband's body at home? But he didn't smell the rotten smell, and there should be no corpse in the coffin.
Yi Zheyan no longer thought about it, and with the help of mobile phone lighting, he began to search around the room. This room was not big, with nothing but an altar and a coffin. If there was really a hairpin hidden here, then the only place where things could be hidden was that coffin.
He had to say that the planning team was too sinister and even let others drill the dead coffin in the dark in the middle of the night.
Yi Zheyan walked to the coffin with a cold face and found a gap at one end of the coffin. He shone his cell phone into the gap and suddenly saw a pair of feet wearing red shoes.
Yi Zheyan: “…”
Without any surprise, the planning team indeed put a "dead person" in the coffin.
He held the phone in his mouth, reached out and pushed open the lid of the coffin, completely exposing the neatly dressed "dead person" inside. The light of the phone shone through, and he unexpectedly saw a familiar face, which was the owner of the tavern, the mute widow of the dead husband.
Yi Zheyan’s first thought was not the plot, but admired that the boss lady was actually in the process of being in the face. She was really dedicated to lying alone in the coffin.
The other party is so dedicated, of course I can't act too lazy. I began to seriously think about the meaning of this plot. Is it implying that the boss's wife is dead or is it that she has a quirk of sleeping in the coffin?
While thinking, he searched for a hairpin in the coffin. In a moment, he found the target in the boss's hair.
When Yi Zheyan reached out to get the hairpin, he accidentally touched the boss's face, and the hands were cold and warm.
He moved his heart and subconsciously delved into her nose, but he didn't breathe!
Yi Zheyan's calm expression finally showed signs of collapse. He stretched out his two fingers and gently pressed them on her left chest for 2 seconds...4 seconds...10 seconds, no heartbeat!!!
His face turned pale, he withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, and looked at the person in the coffin in surprise. He could not be sure whether this was a simulated dummy created by the planning team, or whether the boss's wife was really dead!
He had seen a dummy before. Although it was very similar, he could still see the difference when he got close to it. However, the boss lady in the coffin was different, which was really too real.
Yi Zheyan was secretly shocked. This supernatural program will not become a murder scene, right?!
He gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, and finally chose to exit the room and remained silent. He had already obtained the mission hairpin, and there was a paper sign tied to the hairpin, which read: [Getting a widow's hairpin can save your life]
The next day, everyone walked out of the room one after another, and everyone's face was not very good.
Yi Zheyan looked around for a week and found that Xiao Qing, who was missing yesterday, was on the list, but the whirring Huang Wei disappeared.
"Huh? Xiao Qing, are you back?" Cheng Ziming also saw Xiao Qing and asked in surprise.
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Well, I met a 'ghost' yesterday. I didn't dare to come back. I just stayed at a township house for one night."
"So that's it." Everyone was relieved and was about to ask for details, but they heard Yi Zheyan speak: "Cheng Ziming, isn't Huang Wei the same room with you? Where are others?"
Cheng Ziming replied: "He left the room at around 1 a.m. and never came back since then. I don't know where he has gone."
When Huang Wei left, Cheng Ziming noticed it and looked at the time. He estimated that the other party had discovered the clues of the mission. Since he had not told him, he naturally would not follow him.
After hearing what Cheng Ziming said, everyone probably guessed that Huang Wei must have encountered a "supernatural incident", but they didn't know if he could come back alive.
But one day and one night, Xiao Qing, Zhu Shanhu, Yi Zheyan, and Huang Wei stepped on the thunder one after another. This supernatural program was arranged very tightly, and there were traps everywhere. There were 6 days left. After 6 days, what would you know if they would be mad by the bastards in the planning team!
At this moment, Cheng Ziming suddenly felt as if he had thought of something, got up and walked to the counter, looked out the accommodation registration book, and found the page signed by everyone. After a glance, his face changed and he shouted in a low voice: "Huang Wei is dead!"
"What?" Everyone immediately surrounded him.
Cheng Ziming handed the accommodation registration book to them, and saw that the two words "Huang Wei" written on the top had turned red, while the names of others were still black. This hint was obvious, but Huang Wei should have been eliminated.
Wan Feng was behind Huang Wei, and he smiled dryly and said, "I will not be the one who 'died' next, right?"
Cheng Ziming thought that when he first started registering, the members of the photography team only wrote one synonym, and they probably had expected it long ago.
"I think it's better not to leave your name in the registration book." Cheng Ziming said.
Everyone also agreed.
Just as Cheng Ziming was about to tear off that page, a fair hand suddenly reached out from the side and pressed on the registration book.
Everyone looked down their arms and saw a familiar face, which was the hotel owner's wife.
Yi Zheyan's pupils tightened. Looking at the boss's wife standing in front of him, the shock in his heart was beyond words.
If this supernatural program is not supernatural, it is really supernatural!
On the other hand, in the planning team's base camp, the team leader looked at the recorded scene and suddenly had an idea: "I think our program can have a unique special episode during the New Year."
"What special?" everyone asked.
"Simultaneous live broadcast online."
The author has something to say: Guest: Bastards in the planning team, how many more do you want to do?!
