The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

Chapter 17 Melancholy Song

"You..." Wen Zheliu opened his eyes wide, and repeatedly looked up and down Du Zijun's appearance, whether it was the long black hair reaching to the waist, the pale and delicate skin, or the slender and soft figure... Could it be that she, he had undergone surgery? people?

"Is it a prop?" He Qin answered Wen Zheliu's inner question, "Besides, the props that can achieve this effect are at least level B or above. Mr. Du is really rich."

It's just a pity that his current compliment is not what Du Zijun wants to hear.

Seeing that it was useless to cover up, Du Zijun simply sneered: "Yes, it is indeed a prop, and it is a B-level prop [Niangyu Spring]... At that time I was just for fun, so I tried to use it, but I didn't expect to enter this damn thing Uncanny Valley, the property that the props can be dispelled by hot water is gone, so I have to bear this woman's body until now."

His experience was really oolong, Wen Zheliu listened, and his shock was gradually replaced by sympathy, he said: "Du... Mr. Du's current state, as long as he clears the uncanny valley, it should be resolved, right? "

Du Zijun sneered: "Okay, just call me Ms. Du. With the current state of the team, I don't want to attract their attention."

Wen Zheliu heard that there was something in his words, so he asked: "You also see that there is an inner ghost in the team?"

He Qin continued: "I guess it's Ms. Du's props that worked."

Du Zijun took out the binoculars he had first drawn from the package, and showed them a look.

Wen Zheliu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the timeline of this world has only progressed to the second day, and Du Zijun used up most of the times.

"I guess, one of these three times should be aimed at me?" He Qin said with a smile, "It seems that they returned in vain."

With gloomy eyes, Du Zijun said, "That's right, you are very self-aware."

"Then the remaining two times...you watched the players on the same team?" Wen Zheliu was puzzled.

"No, I checked the system." Du Zijun said.

This time, even He Qin was a little surprised: "System?"

"For the first time, I aimed it at the system in order to test the usage of the item. Unexpectedly, I saw the clearance reward set by the system." pile of data, but that's enough."

Wen Zheliu has seen Du Zijun's eccentricity and boldness. I wonder if any normal person would look at his own system as soon as he got the props, and waste an opportunity for it?

"Don't look at me like that, boy," Du Zijun started smoking again, "Good steel should be used on the blade, I think it's totally worth it to spend this opportunity."

"Then where did you use it the second time?" He Qin asked.

"The second time, I still used it on the system." Du Zijun exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes were sharp and calm, "It's just that it was on the system after Lu Hailin Fangfei's death."

Wen Zheliu's eyes lit up: "You saw the customs clearance reward again!"

"That's right," Du Zijun said, "After the system prompted the so-called escape mode and winning mode, I used props to look at the clearance rewards again."

"—No change." He sneered, "The death of Lu Lin and the others should have started the team's winning mode. No increase, we're still in escape mode."

He emphasized the tone of the last few words, waiting for the surprised expression of the two people in front of him, but he was destined to be disappointed. Wen Zheliu turned to He Qin with a serious face and said, "It seems that our conjecture that day was indeed true. That's right."

"Ah," He Qin said indifferently, "the deaths of Lu Hai and Lin Fangfei are indeed problematic."

"Everyone asks the reason in advance—" Wen Zheliu's thoughts turned, "No matter how you think about it, the reason why the system does this is to deceive ordinary players and use an unwarranted winning mode to sow dissension, right? Think about it carefully, if We were not here last night, Zhou Yao and Mu Tuo went out to watch the night, and Mr. Du was blocked downstairs by the ghost hitting the wall... The rest of the people were either ghosts, or they simply didn't have enough strength to block the eyeless monster who came to attack Zhou Qing's ending will undoubtedly be death, once she dies, the team will immediately fall apart and everyone will be in danger."

He Qin said: "It's always best to break a plate of loose sand one by one. The bosses in this world are really deliberate and have a thorough understanding of human nature."

Du Zijun was already listening in a daze. He bit his cigarette and looked around the two of them for a long time before he realized, "Then... how did you rule out my identity as a ghost?"

Wen Zheliu's smile was bright and clean, and he showed his white teeth: "Because you have a special status! The effect of Niangyu spring water is permanent in the current Uncanny Valley. I'm afraid even that unknown boss can't see through you. As for Zhou Qing, she and Zhou Yao are one, if she is the inner ghost, then the Eyeless Monster last night would not choose her as a breakthrough point, Zhou Yao is the same The rest of the people... Lu Lin left the stage, everyone in Gao Xinghan's circle is very suspicious, not to mention the boy who has almost zero sense of existence, he is either 100% innocent or 100% guilty Ghost, Muto can't get rid of suspicion..."

He quickly and clearly circled all the people, and finally concluded: "Now there are only five people who can be sure, you, me and brother, brother and sister Zhou Qing and Zhou Yao, are gone, so we must not let Gao Xinghan's circle People heard Zhou Qing and the evidence they searched, the less they know, the better."

After Du Zijun sorted out the information in his mind, his expression was a little ugly, and he spat: "Obviously they are all human, but they still engage in such convoluted things..."

"Perhaps, we have our customs clearance conditions, and spy players have the clearance conditions of spy players." Wen Zheliu smiled helplessly, "Don't the holy nuns expect us to kill each other?"

Du Zijun nodded: "Okay...then the brothers have passed their anger, what do you need me to do now?"

He Qin suddenly said: "It's time for dinner, it's time to ask Mary Ann to come down."

Du Zijun smiled. Without saying a word, he turned around and left the kitchen door.

Seeing his leaving back, Wen Zheliu said calmly: "I still want to know one more thing, that man with a sense of presence, what kind of prop is he holding in his hand?"

"Hush," He Qin held up a finger and pressed it lightly on Wen Zheliu's lips, the swirling light in his eyes was as drunk as wine, "Go to dinner, you've already thought too much, slow down." Take a break. Today's dinner is said to have creamy mushroom soup, do you like it?"

Wen Zheliu's Adam's apple twitched, and the heat suffocated his cheeks, and he didn't dare to look at He Qin again.

"It's, it's okay..."

He Qin held his hand as if he was holding a child who was much younger than him—in fact, he was only five years older than Wen Zheliu, "Then let's go, the teammates have delayed enough, it's our turn Replaced him."

Players' information exchange will be disturbed by the sound of cooking, no matter what time and space they are in, hot meals are always the most attractive to human beings.Ke Wenyan's lips moved, as if he had some complaints about Du Zijun calling Marian, but when he saw the fragrant creamy mushroom soup on the table, and the players' eyes shone with anticipation, he didn't. There was nothing more to say, so I had to pick up the spoon in silence.

Wen Zheliu's parents are both from the Northwest, but he also accepts this fresh and sweet taste well. Seeing that he likes it, He Qin pushed his share between the two of them, and said softly: "Eat slowly, don't worry, you can eat more slowly. have."

The meal time passed with the sound of tableware colliding and swallowing and chewing. After the meal, Marianne was about to push the stool and stand up, when Zhou Qing suddenly stopped her: "By the way, Miss Marianne, I want to ask, do you When did you move here?"

"What's the matter, what's the problem?" Marianne asked in bewilderment.

Zhou Qing hurriedly defended: "No, I just think this house seems to be a bit old, so I was curious..."

"Ah, it doesn't matter." Marian smiled tolerantly. "This house belongs to my cousin. He is a gentleman, but he has no children. Only a distant relative like me. After he passed away, this house belongs to me." The house was supposed to be owned by the church, and I bought it back for money and then refurbished it."

Zhou Yao complimented at the right time: "So, what hangs on the fireplace is your family's family crest? It's such a big and grand family."

The family crest he was talking about was a pattern that can be seen everywhere in the room, an eagle with a golden wheat ear in its mouth.It is not only on the fireplace, but also carved on the handrail of the stairs, and stands on the desk in the study, and its shadow can be vaguely seen even in the fuzzy carpet pattern.

Marianne paused, and after a while, she nodded slightly: "Thank you for your compliment."

Zhou Qing pursed his lips and threw the spoon into the empty bowl, showing a disturbed look. Mu Tuo also lowered his head and refolded the napkins that were already neat. Marianne's slender figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Wen Zheliu was sensitive to what had happened, but now, the time for night watch was approaching.

"In order to avoid conflicts, the members of the night watch should be distributed according to their heads." Mu Tuo said solemnly, "Zhou Qing asked to go on his own initiative. For the rest, should we draw lots or draw lots?"

There is ready-made paper at hand, so it is more convenient to draw lots. Since Mu Tuo and Zhou Yao had already gone out on the first night, they automatically quit the lottery. Among the remaining people, Wen Zheliu, He Qin, Xiong Lin, Bai Hao, Ke Wenyan, and the man with a sense of presence got the spot for tonight's night watch.

"What a pity..." Bai Hao muttered while going to the storage room on the third floor to get a torch.

Wen Zheliu asked the presence man friendly: "Well, I forgot your name before, can you tell me again?"

The man with a sense of presence stood in front of the window. His skin was originally very white. Logically speaking, it should be set off by the dark window more conspicuously. But Wen Zheliu glanced over, but he just didn’t look at him. It was like a ball of transparent ink, silently soaked in the air.

"My name is Xie Yuanyuan, and it's endless," Xie Yuanyuan said, and he kindly added an idiom to help Wen Zheliu remember, "It doesn't matter if I can't remember, I've been used to it for a long time."

"No, Xie Yuanyuan, right? I remember it." Wen Zheliu recited the name firmly in his heart several times, "I won't forget it next time!"

He Qin came from behind. He had just told Du Zijun that he should pay attention not to let the inner ghost and Zhou Qing and Zhou Yao get in touch in private. Everything will be discussed after tonight.

Bai Hao brought torches and distributed one to everyone. Mu Tuo reminded him, "Wave the torch as soon as there is any danger, try to circle around in place, and don't let the monster find the opening."

Wen Zheliu was holding the torch, and suddenly smelled a vague fragrance.

The smell seems to be roses, but it is not as sweet and sweet as real roses. Instead, it has a bit of a mild and vulgar cheap powdery smell, like putting a layer of dead white flour on dried flowers with lingering fragrance. It is not pungent, but it is definitely not nice smell.

"This is..." He frowned, searched for it, and finally found that it was the smell of oilcloth wrapped around the torch.

Strange, where did the oilcloth get so much makeup...

He wanted to sniff a few more times, but Bai Hao had already opened the door and shouted to the rest of the people, "Hey, let's go!"

Wen Zheliu had no choice but to follow the example of the crowd and light the torch, walking behind with He Qin.

The oilcloth was burning blazingly, and the weird fragrance became stronger and stronger, making people dizzy. Bai Hao turned his head and said, "There are a lot of sundries in the storage room on the third floor. Maybe some perfume got on it by accident. The torch is the only way to get this smell."

"It smells too bad..." Zhou Qing covered his nose and said.

He Qin and Wen Zheliu walked side by side, he only occasionally reminded Wen Zheliu to pay attention to the road under his feet, and he didn't talk too much.

A few people walked along the path in the forest. The dew was cool in the middle of the night, and the breeze was piercing, making the flames swaying. At this time, Xiong Lin, who was walking in the front, suddenly said: "Wait, There are traces!"

Wen Zheliu and He Qin stepped forward to take a look, only to see a large tract of dragging marks on the muddy ground, stretching along with the crushed grass blades, and finally disappearing in the dark dense forest.

"...Do you want to go and have a look?" Ke Wenyan hesitated.

Bai Hao rolled his eyes angrily: "Forget it, this is obviously the trace of the eyeless monster crawling over, okay! How do people die in horror movies? It's not because of too much curiosity!"

Zhou Qing sneered: "But don't forget, the key to unlocking the main mission of the next stage is likely to be on the monster. If you don't look for it now, when will you have another chance?"

Wen Zheliu was a little surprised. At the critical moment, the courage and firm determination shown by this girl were actually stronger than those of several big men. He smiled and agreed: "Miss Zhou is right, the more it is at this time, the more important it is to catch her." Take the chance."

"But……"

He Qin stood behind Wen Zheliu, holding a torch in one hand and a hatchet in the other. Under the firelight, He Qin's deep silhouette showed a kind of sinister indifference. He smiled lightly and ordered: "Let's go now."

Several male players swallowed their saliva, although they were unwilling to disobey He Qin's order, so they had to reluctantly move towards the drag mark.
