Except for a genealogy, the two found nothing else in the groom's house. Seeing that it was almost dawn, and the big tree had basically dissipated, the two planned to go back to the old house to sleep for a while. As for other things, let's talk after enough rest.
It's just that the two of them noticed something strange as soon as they walked to the door of the old house. Before they entered the house, they smelled a bloody smell. That ghost has chosen another target.
As soon as they entered, a figure seemed to be floating in mid-air in the dark. Wen Ran subconsciously pulled out a talisman, but he soon discovered that the person in mid-air was a human instead of a ghost.
Qi Yunjing who was following him just moved slightly. After a pause, he turned around and turned on the lights in the hall.
Only then did the two of them see clearly that a rope was hung from the handrail of the second floor balcony in the hall. One of the only girls among them this time was hanging in the air in a red wedding dress, and along the fingertips of this person, blood still ticking down. It fell into the artificial fish pond below, and the whole fish pond was dyed bright red.
Wen Ran remembered that this girl seemed to be called Qu Ying. She was not very courageous, she had never not shed tears since she entered the game. Before entering the game with such a small courage, she was playing Pen Fairy with a few friends on the roof of their school building.
It is said that Pen Fairy is not what she wants to play. She has resisted this kind of supernatural things from the beginning, but she doesn't want to make herself out of the group. So even though she is very scared, she still forces herself to play according to her friends' wishes.
From that kind of terrible game, she unexpectedly entered this kind of undead game.
Although Qu Ying loves to cry and is timid, but one thing better is that she is quite well-behaved. When she cries, she covers her mouth and cries as softly as possible, so as not to disturb others by making a fuss.
This girl has been following Li Jingen for the past two days. Aside from her, Li Jingen is the only girl. She is so calm and smart, and Qu Ying feels like Li Jingen is good at analysis, so she has always relied on her as the backbone.
At this moment, Qu Ying was obviously dead. Even though her blood hadn't solidified and was dripping continuously, her pale face and stiff body indicated that she couldn't be saved.
Wen Ran and Qi Yunjing looked around, but didn't see Li Jingen, so they went upstairs immediately. Li Jingen's room door was closed tightly.
Wen Ran knocked on it, but there was no sound from inside. Worried that Li Jingen would die inside, he simply shoved open the door. He saw Li Jingen holding the talisman she bought from Qi Yunjing with a pale face, curled up and hid in the corner.
This girl usually looks bold and calm, but after all, she is a girl who has never experienced such a terrible thing. When death befalls her head, she will inevitably panic and collapse.
Wen Ran turned on the light in their room, and said softly: "It's okay. It's dawn, and that ghost thing won't come."
Li Jingen tremblingly identified the people at the door, saw that they were the players, and realized that it was a living people. She didn't even see who it was clearly, just rushed up and burst into tears: "Woo..."
Wen Ran was not at all flustered by being hugged by a girl, and caressed Li Jingen's back very calmly: "Okay, you calm down first, now is not the time to cry. Only by calming down you can end the game as soon as possible and leave here safely."
Li Jingen is really going crazy. She knows this game really kills people, but she is not the one who experienced the terrible death. Although she was afraid, she could force herself to calm down. However, it is different now, she was really almost dragged out. It will takes time to calm down.
How could the people in the house not hear such a big commotion?
The remaining two rooms are occupied by two veteran players and new players. When there was movement outside the room, they were still suspicious that something was luring them out, but soon after they hear Wen Ran's voice.
They peeked through the crack of the door and saw that it was indeed them, so they opened the door to check the situation.
Hao Lei was a little surprised to see that Qi Yunjing and Wen Ran were still there. After all, all of them were honest and didn't go anywhere yesterday. Only these two people went outside and wandered around. If the ghost is killing people, these two people will be the first target.
Seeing that they are not dead, and Li Jingen is still there, soon the two people in the other room also came out. This time they are even more surprised: "No one died yesterday?"
Wen Ran said: "Qu Ying is dead, she died in the hall."
Li Jingen trembled uncontrollably when she heard the words, and the others rushed to the hall to have a look. Then they saw in the handrails of the second-floor balcony there is a rope tied to the top, and looking down from the top, you can only see a black head and a red wedding dress.
The two new players screamed in fright, and the veteran players frowned. Looking at the rest of the people, Hao Lei was even more puzzled: "Only she died yesterday? What happened?"
Qi Yunjing suddenly said: "Did you hear any movement last night?"
Hao Lei said: "I heard footsteps, probably at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and then it became quiet. After that the voice I heard was the voice of you talking at the door just now."
Li Jingen turning to look at Hao Lei who was speaking: "I yelled for help so loudly yesterday, and Qu Ying. I remember that after she ran out yesterday, she knocked on the door of whoever's room it was. She knocked very loudly, crying and calling for help, and then completely silent after a while."
Hao Lei looked at the veteran player and new players in another room, and they also shook their heads: "We only heard footsteps, and we didn't hear any calls for help or other sound."
Wen Ran said: "The footsteps are probably the sound of me leaving with him. As for the cry for help, it is estimated that when the ghost killed someone, it was from another dimension, so including the death of two people on the first night, we didn't heard any sound at all."
Hao Lei said: "Leave? Did you go out last night?"
Wen Ran didn't hide it either: "Last night, he and I were the ghost's first target, but we had a talisman in our hands, so we blocked it. In order to check the situation, we went out overnight.
"During the day, we found the groom's house at the end of the village, but we didn't see anyone, so we thought about going to see it at night. If we saw the groom, maybe he was the It.
"Unfortunately, it was still the same at night, there is no one. When we come back, this is the situation now."
That talisman Qi Yunjing only sold two, one was bought by Li Jingen, and the other was bought by the newcomer who shared the room with the young veteran player. As for the two who died on the first day, they did not buy talismans.
However, Li Jingen and Qu Ying are in the same room, and there shouldn't be any problems with a piece of talisman to protect them. He don't know what went wrong.
Wen Ran glanced at the talisman that Li Jingen held tightly in her hand, the cinnabar on it was much dimmer, which meant that the talisman had indeed been used. Probably because of this, Li Jingen was able to survive.
Qi Yunjing looked at Li Jingen who was much calmer than before: "Tell me what happened last night first."
Li Jingen said: "We also heard footsteps last night, because we didn't dare to sleep, so we kept lying on the bed, trying to listen to the movement. There was no sound outside for a while, and then a candle was suddenly lit in the room.
"Because we were afraid at night and didn't want to be discovered by the ghosts, we turned off the lights, and there were no candles in the room.
For a split second, Qu Ying was terrified and screamed uncontrollably. In the next second, our clothes were changed. This time, Qu Ying went crazy and wanted to open the door to leave the room, but she can't open it."
Thinking of the situation at that time, Li Jingen still had lingering fears, and she couldn't stop trembling: "Qu Ying was knocking on the door frantically, trying to rush out.
"I vaguely heard the sound of beating gongs and drums, and a voice saying about auspicious time. Then Qu Ying, who was knocking on the door and trying to rush out, was dragged into the room by something.
Qu Ying grabbed the ground to resist, but couldn't resist that invisible thing. Immediately afterwards, I also felt something approaching, it sound like a lame leg dragging on the ground. But before the thing approached, the talisman in my hand suddenly became hot.
"At that time I already couldn't move anymore, but that moment I was able to move suddenly, and Qu Ying got up one step faster than me. This time the door was able to open, so she rushed out.
"I don't know what's going on outside. I didn't do anything except hugging the talisman and hiding in the corner. I think it's more dangerous to rush out."
Wen Ran frowned: "So you didn't see what it was?"
Li Jingen pursed her lips: "I saw it, it was a person. When that person approached and the talisman was hot, I saw it. It was a man. He was not tall and had a lame leg.
"The point is that this person was very distorted. It's the kind of distorted facial features that are very incongruous, very scary."
Wen Ran pushed Qi Yunjing with his arm: "Do you think the groom is too ugly, and the bride is unwilling on the day of the wedding which resulted in a tragic disaster? And then became the groom's obsession after he became a ghost?"
Qi Yunjing: "It's not impossible."
-
After dawn, the white-bearded old man brought people to collect the corpse, and it was the two villagers who came that day. One of them his leg is also lame, like the lameness of polio. Wen Ran waited for the others to leave, and asked Li Jingen, "Is that the one with the lame?"
Li Jingen shook her head: "No, the lame one is different, and they look different."
Because Qu Ying was hanged on the side of the atrium, everyone didn't dare to stay in the hall on the first floor. There was a small hall facing the sun on the second floor, so everyone sat in the small hall.
Wen Ran took out the genealogy book: "I found this at the groom's house last night. It didn't exist during the day, and it only appeared at night. Take a look, everyone. Let's brainstorm and see if we can analyze it."
Hao Lei was the first to get it. After looking through the genealogy for a while, he discovered the problem: "There are only two surnames in this genealogy, one is Sheng and the other is Yin. The male surname is Sheng. No matter whether the female is from the family, or they married in, they are all surnamed Yin?"
The new player in the same room as Hao Lei couldn't help but said, "Is it so strange? People in this barren mountain and wild village usually engage in inbreeding because of the difficulty in marrying."
Before the man finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on it. If they were really close relatives, then the secret of this deserted village would be too disgusting.
