Chapter 32:

After hovering his fingertips on C for two seconds, Bai Yan finally sighed and chose B.
He wanted to smash the basilisk to death with a hammer, but the example of the ghost infant tells him that the ghost cannot be killed.
After choosing B, Bai Yan watched as he shook Wu Jingang vigorously. Seeing that he was not awake, he raised his hand to open the bow left and right, and slapped his face.
After a long while, Wu Jingang finally woke up. His neck returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Bai Yan heard himself trembling and asking: "King Kong? Is that you?"
"It's me, what's wrong, Yan Yan, are you having nightmares again?"
"Don't you remember what happened just now? Your neck..." Bai Yan saw that he made gestures with his hands: "Your neck suddenly became so long, more terrifying than last night, and it turned to face mine. It’s scary to keep looking at your face!"
"King Kong, I really didn't lie to you, you must be possessed by a ghost!"
After two consecutive nights, Wu Jingang also began to be suspicious. He stroked his neck in wonder, and felt that his neck was still an ordinary neck, not as long as his wife's gestures, as long as a goose neck.
At this time, Bai Yan had regained control of the body. Seeing Wu Jingang scratching his head and thinking, he squinted for a moment, and felt that this could not go on.
On the first night, I just sat up and looked at him from a distance. Tonight I will face to face to each other. According to this progress, the ghost will do something to him tomorrow.
The game requires the player's actions to conform to the character's logic. After a series of shocks, Bai Yan should have enough reason to start to suspect her husband.
After a little thought, Bai Yan is ready to try to change the plot. Even text adventures must follow the actions of the characters and cannot force them to die.
So Bai Yan tried to say to Wu Jingang: "King Kong, I will go to another room to sleep in a while. You really scared me these two nights. If I sleep with you again, I can't sleep tonight."
"Yan Yan..." Wu Jingang was very unwilling. He still felt that he had no problem. He was a little worried about Bai Yan. He felt that she was stimulated by the events of that day and had mental problems.
"Yan Yan, let's go, I will go to sleep in that room tonight, and tomorrow I will rest, and I will go to the hospital with you to see a psychiatrist. You must be under too much pressure to have such hallucinations."
After a few words of comfort, Wu Jingang went to sleep in another room with the quilt. After going through three multiple-choice questions in one day, Bai Yan felt that there should be no more accidents, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.
...
The next morning, Wu Jingang got up early and was going to see a psychiatrist with Bai Yan.
However, before going out, he received a notice that the company needed to work overtime.
Bai Yan knew that he had no problems in his heart, and it was of no use to go to the hospital. Besides, he had something to do in the morning, so he drove Wu Jingang to work overtime.
After Wu Jingang went out, Bai Yan also went out soon.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, he rushed to an easy-to-find cafe near the community.
Yesterday afternoon, he went out and printed a bunch of missing persons notices, which contained game information, and asked for help to post them around. If the two players who entered the game with him saw it, they would wait in the cafe this morning. He meets together.
Looking at the time, it is still early to ten o'clock.
Bai Yan entered the cafe and looked around. He saw a woman in red sitting at a four-person table. She was wearing a red dress and black trousers with a pair of red shoes on her feet, looking very energetic.
But what attracted Bai Yan was not her dazzling dress, but the three identical cups of coffee neatly placed on her table, and the coffee inside remained untouched, maintaining the appearance they had just been delivered.
Opposite the woman in red is a high school student in school uniform.
The high school student is doing his test papers with a gel pen. Like the woman in red, there are three identical cups of coffee next to his papers. A total of six cups of coffee are placed on the table, which is particularly conspicuous compared to other tables and can be recognized at a glance.
So Bai Yan walked to the table and asked the two of them: "Are you the players in this game?"
Seeing the two nodded, Bai Yan pulled the chair beside the high school student and sat down.
The three gathered together, and the woman in red said: "I saw you in the community, and I took my child that day. Do you remember?"
"I remember that your child was arguing to play with dogs that day." Bai Yan said bluntly: "Our time is running out. Two days have passed since the game. It will become more and more difficult next time. Everyone exchanges information about what they know. Now, this is also the purpose for me to find you."
"Okay." The high school student said: "My name is Li Ming. This is the name of my character in this game. I am a high school student. My parents go out to work and are raised by my grandparents. Half a month ago, My grandma died. A few days ago, my grandfather was ill and was hospitalized. I am the only one living at home."
"Li Ming, I'm in the first year of high school..." Bai Yan immediately responded, "Are you living in 303?"
"Yes." Li Ming replied calmly: "Do you know about my family?"
"I have seen your grandma." Bai Yan smiled: "Your grandma seems to like to wrap dumplings with paper money. I wonder if you heard the sound of meat chopping at night."
"Not only did I hear that, I made the dumplings with her." Li Ming said in a terrifying way without changing his face: "I was a little stronger while hiding from the poisonous insects. I'm sorry to disturb you."
"We are all neighbors, you are welcome." Bai Yan said: "Since we are very close, the resident of 402 upstairs should be the lady, right?"
"It's me." The woman in red nodded and said: "My name in this game is Yi Zihan. I have a husband and a pair of children. My eldest son is three years old this year, and the youngest daughter has just turned ten months old. My daughter’s grandmother went away while taking care of her. Unfortunately, a week ago, she fell downstairs and fell to her death against the root of the wall."
After the two talked about the basic situation of the family, Bai Yan also began to explain his own situation: "My name in this bureau is Baiyan, and I have a husband. Four days ago, a was committed in the house. The was killed by Baiyan. At present, this ghost is attached to her husband and appears every night. Most of my choices are related to him."
After hearing Bai Yan's answer, Yi Zihan suspiciously asked: "Why do you have a husband and use the girl's name?"
Bai Yan smiled politely and continued: "I tried to choose a female when I was choosing gender, but the game assigned me the identity of a woman."
"Okay, I get it." Yi Zihan looked very anxious: "The baby who fell to death has climbed up to the fourth floor every night to make trouble for me. Although I am not, Yi Zihan is his mother. It was her grandmother who fell to her death. She didn't go looking for her, why did she come to me?"
Yi Zihan clutched her hair, her eyes covered with bloodshot eyes: "I have consumed 4 resurrection coins, and if I die twice, I really will die. It has only been three days! I really can't figure out why she is not. I want to come to get my revenge. By the way, I ran into a dog when I was out this morning. It was the one of the little girl you saw yesterday. I was bitten to death by this dog once in the corridor. I endured yesterday. I can’t help kicking it, it turned a ghost and came to me today."
"I know about dogs." Li Ming said while making papers: "I and Xu Feile are classmates. She called and told me last night that her dog had eaten poisonous ham and was poisoned to death. , Its death should have nothing to do with you."
"Dogs become ghosts when they die. This game is really interesting..." Bai Yan took Li Ming's coffee and took a sip: "Then Xu Feile told you where did the dog die?"
"She died in Xu Feile's house. She also lives in our building. She lives in 502." Li Ming put down the pen in his hand and said, "Xu Feile originally wanted to send the dog to the pet hospital, but the dog died at home. Last night She buried her pet dog under a tree in the community, and she did not expect that dog would also become a ghost."
"What about your grandma? How did she die?"
"Naturally, she is almost 80. I'm sure no one will kill her."
"..."
After listening to Li Ming's narration, Bai Yan fell into deep thought.
He originally thought that the ghosts in this game were for revenge, but now it seems more than that.
Liu Xiaotian, Gui Ying, and even the dog turned into a ghost all said that they were in the past. After all, they all died abnormally, looking for someone. Revenge is reasonable, at least in line with the logic of the game. But the death of Grandma Li Ming broke this law. She died of old age naturally, and she had no grievances against anyone.
It is impossible for her neighbors to offend her. She will never forget these neighbors until she died. She must give them some colors, right?
Bai Yan tried his best to find the rules of this game through these clues. Xu Feile lived in 502, Yi Zihan 402, he was 302, and it was disconnected when Li Ming was here, he was 303, whether it was the order of residence or grandma's. He died, he was a maverick, could it be that Li Ming is the key to this game?
Bai Yan took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, always feeling that this analysis was wrong.
In addition to Li Ming, they actually have one thing in common. All the ghosts, they died in this building!
Liu Xiaotian was smashed to death by Baiyan with a vase in the building. Grandma died in the house. Even the dog was poisoned to death when he got home. The ghost and infant were close to the wall when they were moving, and they were stuck in front of the wall when they died. dead. Thinking of this, Bai Yan had a guess...
"You said, could all ghosts be caused by this building? Anyone who dies in this building will eventually return as undead?"
Bai Yan said the guess, and the other two people were thinking hard.
After a long time, Li Ming took out the phone and glanced at the text message, then looked up and said: "Xu Feile sent me a text message just now, saying that she saw the dog she raised last night. She went to bed with the door closed last night and heard Huanhuan Chong. She yelled at the door of her room. She remembered that she had buried the dog downstairs at that time, and was very scared, so she insisted on staying up all night and dared to get out of the room when her parents woke up in the morning."
"That little girl is really annoying. It's okay to raise a dog. She deserves to be poisoned to death." Maybe it was because of her experience of being bitten to death by a dog, Yi Zihan's face looked very ugly: "Her dog is dead, she is fine. Instead, I was bitten to death once. There really is a kind of owner for any dog. I heard that her dog was always dishonest and was poisoned to death. Why didn’t she die with the dog? ?"
"If she is bitten to death by a dog, we will be in trouble." Li Ming's face changed slightly: "If you really say that with Bai Yan, after Xu Feile dies, we will face five ghosts tonight. Ghosts will continue to make the dead. , The dead will become new ghosts after they die. As the number of ghosts increases, then this literal adventure... will there still be options that will definitely allow people to live?"
