Chapter 27:

After a long time, Bai Yan recovered his vision again. His surroundings were gray, and only the phone in front of him was still emitting a faint light.
He looked down at the phone, only to find that this game was a new mode.
[Match successfully]
【Number of players: 3 people】
[Game Difficulty: Normal]
[Level description: This round of the game is a "text adventure". Players choose activities through their mobile phones. The result of the selection will determine the player's actions and complete the game plot. Surviving to the end is considered a success. Before starting the game, please complete a multiple-choice question. 】
What is your gender?
A. Male.
B. Female.
Facing this weird choice, Bai Yan fell into contemplation.
In the last game, Su Xiaoqian was assigned the status of a maid, which shows that the App can distinguish the gender of the player. So suddenly there is such a choice, obviously not for identifying the player's identity, but for another purpose.
This gender choice may determine the so-called game plot.
If you choose according to the player's true gender, you should definitely choose A in plain language.
However, Bai Yan wanted to try how to deal with the game of B, so he chose B without hesitation.
[Choose B, the player status is being arranged -]
[Identity background is imported. 】
[Background introduction: Your name is Baiyan, and you are a pretty young married woman. You and your husband Wu Jingang live in an old residential building. At present, you are on your annual vacation and there is nothing to do every day. Take care of housework at home. 】
【game rules:】
[1. In this round of the game, players will receive five resurrection coins. Each time the player dies, one resurrection coin will be consumed, and the time will automatically return to before the selection. After the five resurrection coins are used up, the sixth death is the real death. 】
[2. The player's actions must follow the character logic. 】
[3. After the player makes a choice, the player will be forced to complete the ‘option correspondence’ plot, and the player must choose carefully. 】
After reading the background import, Bai Yan didn't feel much in his heart.
App has always been sincere in doing things. He chose B and the game arranged him to be a newlywed young woman. This arrangement was reasonable. It's not that he doesn't know whether his ‘husband’ is a human NPC in the game, or a ghost who forgets his own death memory.
...
When Bai Yan made the choice, the scene around him changed.
Now, he is sitting at a dinner table. The dinner table is full of fragrant dishes, including braised pork ribs, sauce-flavored eggplant, tomato and egg soup, and a slice of cucumber. They are all steaming. It is a table of meat and vegetables. Home cooking.
"The name of the game is ‘Word Adventure’. It seems that the key to this round of the game is ‘making a choice’."
Bai Yan sandwiched a chopsticks with soy-flavored eggplant, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and found that the taste was so-so: "The second rule of the rule requires that player actions follow the character logic. When my husband comes back, I need to be with Bai Yan The same as contracting daily housework, at least not to make the NPC husband feel that something is wrong."
After tasting the sauce-flavored eggplant, Bai Yan ate a piece of spare ribs: "These foods taste just so good, which can only barely be considered delicious, but they are good for home-cooked dishes. If it is this level of dishes, I can do it too. Fortunately, her cooking skills are not very good."
The food is steaming, but there is no food on the table.
Bai Yan glanced at it and knew that the woman must be waiting for her husband and did not like to eat alone.
Sure enough, he found a rice cooker beside the dining table with hot rice in it.
Since Bai Yan has the habit of waiting for her husband to eat together, Bai Yan is not ready to make a change. So he put down his chopsticks, destroyed the bones, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and planned to inquire about the environment before the NPC husband came back.
Bai Yan left the dining table and began to wander around the room.
This is a very narrow house. The house is about 30 square meters in total. It has a kitchen and a separate bathroom, but the area is small.
There is no hall in the house, only a master bedroom and a small second bedroom.
The master bedroom is the room where the dining table is placed. Beside the dining table, there is a very large double bed with a huge wedding photo posted on the head of the bed.
In the wedding photo, the groom happily holds the bride, and the bride smiles shyly.
Bai Yan carefully observed the bride, and found that the bride was very beautiful, she was comparable to some top celebrities, and it was not a ‘slightly beautiful’ as the App said. In response to this, Bai Yan threw the pot to the retoucher. They must have had too much P-pictures, and they turned a slightly beautiful woman into this virtue.
After reading the wedding photos, Bai Yan kept the groom and bride in his heart and began to observe other things in the room.
"The newlywed room should have been renovated. The walls and floor are very clean. The color of the bedding is very warm. It seems that Bai Yan is a woman with a good taste in life."
Bai Yan walked to the end of the bed, and there was a small table at the end of the bed. On the table sat a simple and cute teddy bear.
Bai Yan raised the teddy bear and found that the bear was as tall as a person. He held the teddy bear in his arms, feeling soft and very good to the touch.
According to the experience of veteran players, there is a high chance of hiding things in general dolls.
So, Bai Yan raised the teddy bear and fumbled around, rubbing the teddy bear's belly with his palm, but he couldn't find a zipper that could be opened for a long time, and he didn't feel like something was hidden inside. Because he can't make the NPC husband suspicious, he can't take the teddy bear apart with a knife.
Bai Yan felt for a while, planning to let the bear go first and then dismantle it later, but when he put it down, he found that there was a piece of hair near the teddy bear's tail that was of the wrong color.
"Dark brown, is this blood?" Bai Yan leaned closer and smelled an unpleasant smell, "Why is there blood on the teddy bear?"
"Auntie? Or blood from a dead person?"
Although the couple’s wedding room was very warm and the air seemed to be filled with the sweetness of their love, this blood-stained teddy bear clearly told Bai Yan that everything was not simple.
"What can a newlywed couple have to do with ghosts? The teddy bear is stained with blood, did they kill someone?" Bai Yan thought, touching his chin: "Where are my two teammates? A young couple who has no children, will they be relatives of'me' or another relationship?"
There are few clues in the house, and there are food on the table, obviously waiting for the husband who is away. Even if Bai Yan wanted to find other players to exchange clues, he couldn't go out and find where they were.
No other information could be found on the teddy bear, Bai Yan put down the bear, walked to the second bedroom, and started searching for the ornaments in the second bedroom.
In the second bedroom there was a wardrobe, a table, and some odds and ends.
Bai Yan found a photo album in a drawer. It was full of photos of the male host when he was a child. Some of the photos were taken in the house where he is now.
"It seems that Wu Jingang has grown up in this house since he was a child. This should be his parents' house. For his marriage, his parents gave him this house so that he can have a wedding room." Bai Yan Put down the photo album and said to himself: "Since the house belongs to Wu Jingang and his wife, where do Wu Jingang's parents live now? A new house...? No, this house is very small. If they can afford a new house, the couple will not Will live here, Wu Jingang's parents, they should be renting a house."
From this point of view, the housing prices in this different world are also quite expensive. At least one dual-employee couple cannot afford it and can only live in the man’s parents’ house.
Put the album as it is, and Bai Yan left the table, ready to look at others.
But as soon as he walked to the closet, he heard heavy footsteps in the corridor, and the sound of footsteps became louder and louder, and then, there was a rapid knock on the security door
"Boom boom boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Bai Yan walked quickly to the door, wanting to find out.
At this moment, there was a violent vibration from his mobile phone, the knocking outside the door suddenly disappeared, and the ticking in the room suddenly stopped.
Bai Yan turned to look at the wall clock and found that the hands on the clock stopped. He immediately realized that the game had suspended the time in this world, so he looked down at the phone and found these lines printed on it.
【You are a newly married young woman who has just been married for a short time. On this day, you have prepared a meal and waited for your husband's return as usual. At 8:25 in the evening, there was a knock on the door. You count the time, this should be your husband's return, so you stand up and prepare to open the door for him.
But when you stood at the door, you suddenly hesitated. The things that happened the other day left you utterly soul-stirring, and you still have lingering fears until now. As a weak woman with no power to bind a chicken, it is necessary to be cautious.
So, you decide--
A. Ask aloud who is outside the door, if it is Wu Jingang, open the door.
B. The person who looks at the door through the cat's eyes is sure that Wu Jingang will open the door again.
C. Do not open the door and pretend that you didn't hear the knock. Husband brought the key, if he wanted to come in, he would open the door and come in. 】
Seeing these three options, Bai Yan knew that this is the so-called ‘text adventure’.
Under the three options, there is a countdown for him to think about the total five minutes, and now thirty seconds have passed.
In the description given by the title, Bai Yan encountered a bad thing a few days ago, so she is very vigilant now.
Bai Yan really wants to know what happened a few days ago, but now is not the time to think. Within five minutes, he must make a choice, otherwise the App will randomly choose an option for him, and then it will be life or death.
After reading the three options, Bai Yan thinks C looks the safest.
However, from a table full of sincere meals, he knew that this was a loving newly married couple. If it is really the husband, and the husband knocks on the door outside, the wife can’t just pretend to hear.
As a result, Bai Yan ruled out option C first, and began to hesitate on A and B.
"According to the game's routine, choosing B is very likely to match the other eye on the cat's eye, but choosing A will expose the fact that you are at home. If the person standing outside is not Wu Jingang, but a ghost..."
Bai Yan moved his fingertips between A and B, and finally decided to choose B.
"Forget it, let's be horrified, be safe first. Five resurrection coins are not many. The game dares to resurrect me five times, which means that it will definitely kill me five times in the subsequent choices."
So white pressed B, and when he pressed his thumb on the screen, his body was dominated by a mysterious force.
Under the control of the App, he stood on tiptoe, walked silently to the door, and quietly put his eyes on the cat's eyes
