Chapter 82: Lost cruise ship (20)

The ghosts outside are coming in?
After hearing this, Ruan Bai was taken aback, and quickly glanced at the door of the Taoist temple.
Sure enough, the two ghosts were standing at the door of the Taoist Temple at this time, clinging to the door and looking inside.
Their faces have turned pale, swollen, and distorted.
They clung to the door tightly, a pair of eyes looked straight at everyone in the Taoist temple, and strange excitement jumped in their black eyes.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Bai shrank subconsciously.
With this movement, she found that she had a hard object in her hand.
She looked down, and the mermaid bell ran into her hands at some point.
The same as in the dream.
Ruan Bai's movements paused, and she realized that her dream just now might not be a simple dream.
Not surprisingly, the energy in the Taoist statue should have been eaten by the mermaid bell...
The mermaid bell is the heart of mermaid grandma, so this is a swallowing another god?
Therefore, the idol lost the ability to suppress and expel ghosts, and it caused the two ghosts outside to get so close?
Thinking of the mess, Ruan Bai got up from the ground and hung the mermaid bell back on his neck.
After finishing this, she picked up the small schoolbags and smashed them towards the door.
The obsessions of these two ghosts were obviously related to the schoolbags. Seeing the schoolbags were thrown out, their attention was inevitably attracted by those schoolbags.
"Go!"
Upon seeing this, Ruan Bai immediately said to others.
The remaining players moved very quickly after hearing this.
They hurriedly put on their clothes, fled along the back door of the Taoist temple, and ran outside in the rain.
The two ghosts were therefore left behind by them.
Afterwards, they found a house left by nearby residents to hide from the rain.
In the rest of the time, they seized the time to rest while circling the two ghosts.
How to deal with the tracking of ghosts and monsters couldn't be easier for them, and it is simply a required course for old players.
So the day passed, most of them were unsafe and unharmed.
Except for those players like Ruan Bai and others, it is obvious that they have not guessed the key, and still do not give up searching for information.
They turned over the houses of many residents, but found nothing. At most, they knew stories about gods in Taoist temples from some diaries.
Ruan Bai flipped through the story and found that it was no different from the auspicious story that the public liked to hear. It was mostly because the poor and filial children were sheltered by the gods, the seriously ill mother was resurrected, or the offspring of the unjustly killed asked for the help of the gods. Reappear the day.
If there is any connection in these stories, it is that every time the gods help them, a ship appears on the sea, carrying the suffering people to the mainland.
However, since the development of science and technology, the people on the island have gradually deepened their contacts with the land, and the number of educated people has increased. Gradually, not many people believe in God anymore.
According to the information they have found, the islanders call the gods in Taoist temples as "gods," and they haven't even recorded a name.
After reading this, Ruan Bai subconsciously touched the mermaid bell.
She knew that after swallowing the power of the idol, it would definitely become stronger.
Before, its only function was to remind her of information related to Du Wenxue.
But now it seems that it may have other functions...
What could it be?
Is its existence related to Du Wenxue's research products?
Ruan Bai felt that she might be able to get the answer from the master.
...I just don't know if the master will hate her because her mermaid bell swallowed his energy.
The day passed quickly, Ruan Bai and the others at least found it quite relaxed, even if it was dangerous, it was far more thrilling than when on a cruise ship.
Most of the other players' faces were not good, and as time approached, it became very ugly, but Ruan Bai thought about it and worried that the two members of the raccoon would continue to frame her in the future, so he didn't tell the secret of the game.
When the deadline was up, the players all rushed to the harbor and saw the mysterious cruise ship.
As before, they boarded one after another and came to the lobby on the first floor.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Ruan Bai noticed that there had been obvious changes inside the cruise ship.
The original exquisite and tidy hall has lost its cleanliness, and traces of dust can be found in the corners.
The wooden furniture and the dazzling array of glass cups have lost their luster, and they look dusty and unremarkable.
To make an analogy, this cruise ship is like a ten-year-old man, far less vivid and bright than before.
When they entered the hall, the owner was also inside, still sitting in his wheelchair.
Ruan Bai clearly saw that his expression was much more exhausted than before, and his whole body was lifeless and his face was terribly pale.
"Welcome back to my boat," the host said slowly, "Next, I hope you can have a good time."
When he said the word "happy", he smiled meaningfully.
This laugh made many players look embarrassed.
Ruan Bai, who only knows the truth, can see through the master's indifferent surface that he is now 80% of the time.
The master said so, it is probably purely trying to scare them...
Ruan Bai thought for a while, stood up first, and asked, "Master, you promised one of my questions before, do you still count now?"
She saw that the master's condition was extremely bad, and she didn't know if anything would happen in the future, so she should ask what she wanted to ask.
The master listened to her, glanced at her, and nodded slowly, not surprisingly.
"Yes," he said, "are you going to ask now?"
Ruan Bai nodded and answered quickly: "Yes."
So the host waved his hand and said to the steward: "You take them down, I will speak to her alone."
The steward obeyed the master's words, and when he heard the master's instructions, he immediately took the other players away.
Half a minute later in the empty hall, only the owner and Ruan Bai remained.
Ruan Bai looked at the tired master in front of him, his heart beating faster and faster.
There are so many questions in her mind to ask, but at this time, her mind is blank.
What should she ask?
Just ask him who Du Wenxue is? Or ask him if he knows what Mermaid Bell is all about?
Just ask this point, is there too little information, should she think of a more complex and broader question?
But she is still in the game, she said too bluntly, will the escape game system be aware of it?
But it's too subtle, can the master hear it...
Looking at the owner in front of him, Ruan Bai rarely hesitated.
What caught Ruan Bai off guard was that before she thought about how to ask, the master suddenly spoke.
"I know why you came to me," he said. "Don't worry, I still have the ability to block it."
This "it" obviously refers to the escape game system.
Ruan Bai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After speaking, she reacted again and added: "Sorry, your energy was swallowed by my bell..."
She could see that the owner was actually very disgusted with that "it", the escape game system.
Since he is a member of the resistance escape game system and knows Du Wenwen, then he must be Du Wenwen's friend.
Killing the player is just a last resort, after all, he is now reduced to the hands of the escape game system.
She doesn't hate him because she knows that he is just a knife, and the real executioner is to control his escape game system.
"It's okay," the host shook his head after hearing her words, "rather than let my energy be slowly consumed by it, it's better to give it to you."
He took a deep look at Ruan Bai: "I'm satisfied to see the deceased before disappearing."
Old man?
Upon hearing this, Ruan Bai was taken aback.
She remembered that after seeing the master before, Ning Ruanren and Xiaoxue told her in the toilet that the master and her face were similar.
Will he be related to her life experience?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glanced at her master a few more times.
She could feel that the owner was aging at a rapid rate. Perhaps this was the price to be paid for shielding the escape game system. After all, his energy was running out.
"Do you know Du Wenxue and DSAS company?" Ruan Bai asked quickly after realizing this, "and you, master, who are you?"
She actually wanted to ask about her relationship with her master, about Meryu Ling, and about Du Wenwen's research results, but she keenly discovered that the master's time is running out.
That being the case, then she should quickly ask what she wants to ask.
"Du Wenxue's real name is Han Qiuwen, Du Wenxue is his pseudonym in the game, and his mother's surname is Du," the host replied quickly, "DSAS's name was Ziya Technology Co., Ltd. twenty years ago. What will I be called afterwards? I don't know."
As if he had been ready to say goodbye a long time ago, he quickly said, "You can also check Han Yuan. This is Han Qiuwen's father. He has a lot to do with the system."
Han Qiuwen, Han Yuan, Dongya Technology Co., Ltd.
The secret that had puzzled her for more than a year was finally revealed today.
Ruan Bai was very excited when listening to his master uttering these words lightly, but also a little untrue.
She remembered these two names in her heart, and she knew that they were very, very important to her.
Especially Dongya Technology Co., Ltd., this will be her enemy in the coming years, even decades.
When she gets out of the game, she must check the company's information seriously!
After saying this, the master's voice paused, and then said: "As for me, I am just a little who has been defeated in the hands of the same kind and bound by it."
The real identity of the owner in reality turned out to be a god, and the escape game system is the same as his origin.
Ruan Bai was not surprised to hear this.
The source of the escape game system is certainly not very scientific, after all, it is a parasitic existence on human fear.
She had guessed a long time ago whether it was something like a demon or a god.
In this way, the prototype of the escape game system in reality is almost certainly a kind of evil god.
If this is the case, Du Wenwen's research results are likely to be mermaid bells.
Because it has the energy of a mermaid grandma.
The mermaid grandma should be the same as the master, a deity defeated by the escape game system and trapped in the game.
Du Wenwen used some means to escape the surveillance of the escape game system and sealed the mermaid bell in the statue of the mermaid grandmother. Waiting for one day, players will come and take it out.
Only the deity can be opposed to the deity.
The escape game system that can be arrogant and domineering in front of the player, facing the master who is the same as it, can only put it in the game and slowly wear away the energy of the master.
Ruan Bai thought that after Du Wenwen discovered the essence of the escape game system, in order to deal with it, he must have used a lot of energy from the gods.
For example, mermaid grandma, such as the owner in front of him.
It's just a pity that the escape game system has changed the story of Du Wenwen and the mermaid grandmother so hard that Ruan Bai has never dared to think about his research results on the mermaid bell.
She had secretly guessed before, whether Mermaid Ling's reaction to Du Wenshu was so strong, could it be because the mermaid grandma hates the scumbag too much...
Now when I think about it, the mermaid grandmother's relationship with Du Wenwen may be pretty good in reality.
"A lot of things, you will know when you should know," the master continued, "you don't need to care too much about my identity, just live your own life."
He could see that Ruan Bai wanted to know their connection to each other, but he just smiled and didn't say it directly.
After only a few words, the owner's hair was all white.
His eyes dimmed, wrinkles slowly appeared on his face, his skin became loose, and even spots appeared.
Time flies on him, his energy is constantly losing.
Ruan Bai looked at him, the wrinkles floating on his face, and the hands that were trembling because of pain while clutching the wheelchair arm.
He can't hold it anymore.
She thought, she still didn't know what the master was called.
After a long time, he has long been forgotten by the residents of the island, so that when their players searched for information on the island, they found nothing except a few useless stories.
"Do you have anything else you want to ask," the host asked at the end, "you have to have a question related to this game, deal with other people, and deal with it."
Perhaps it was about to disappear, and his tone became unusually gentle.
After hearing his words, Ruan Bai quickly reacted.
Her attention was all on the system, and she forgot about it.
"I...I want to know why you like mermaid stories," she thought for a while, and asked a question casually, "Is it because of your past experience, or is there any hint?"
Ruan Bai thought about this issue before.
But at the moment she asked this question, not so much to deal with the escape game system and other players, but because she wanted to get to know the owner by the way.
She has seen through her own experience that players do not actually need to know why the owner likes the story of mermaid when they pass the game.
Therefore, the owner's preference for the story of the shipwrecked mermaid may not be the clearance details set by the game, but simply his own preference.
Hearing Ruan Bai's question, the master shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with this," he said. "I like the story of mermaid, just because I have a sister who is a mermaid."
He glanced at Ruan Bai, chuckled, and said, "To clear the second round of the storytelling game, it's not enough to tell a story about a mermaid. If I didn't help you block it, you really think you Can it be cleared?"
Ruan Bai: "..."
Although she also discovered that the master had opened the back door for her at the time, she was still a bit embarrassed when he said so bluntly.
However, the master said he has a sister who is a mermaid?
Could this sister be a mermaid grandma? !
Ruan Baisi's eyes suddenly brightened after this.
Sure enough, the owner and the mermaid grandmother and Du Wenwen are all known and connected!
No wonder the mermaid bell will bring her into this world, no wonder the owner will say that he saw an "old person".
As early as when she bound the white lotus cultivation system and got the mermaid bell, Du Wenwen and the mermaid bell have been helping her pave the way and guiding her down.
Wait, that's not right!
Ruan Bai's face suddenly changed without knowing what he thought of.
She is five points similar to her master, and the master is a deity. What is her origin?
Is she really a human... or something else?
Ruan Bai's heart became more and more flustered, and his thinking became confused.
She thought of her strange psychology since she was a child, of her completely different ability and appearance from her parents, and in the ward, her grandma mysteriously told her to ask her to go back to her hometown to find grandpa's notebook.
When she thought of herself confronting the White Lotus system in the abandoned castle game, the system told her: "Host, you are destined to enter the escape game."
Finally, she recalled how she took the mermaid bell out of the black box in the Mermaid Village.
A drop of her blood fell on the surface of the mermaid bell.
