Into the infinite game to write pit text

Xiao He tilted his head, glanced at the old man behind the two players, then smiled, retracted his feet, and bounced towards the entrance of the town.

Yuan Guang and Yang Rui stood there in a daze for a while.

After watching her figure disappear completely, Yuan Guangcai asked in a daze: "Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that the way she looked at me just now was the same as when she looked at Yu Yao last night..."

He couldn't tell what that look meant, because it didn't seem to mean anything.

It's like people's eyes are casually sweeping, passing by a water glass and a pack of toilet paper beside them.

That look is meaningless.But it has another meaning - as if looking at an inanimate object.

Yang Rui was speechless.

She turned her head to look at the old man, only to see that the old man had turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Xu Shu and Ji Chuan met the other two on the way back to the town.

They saw each other when they were still relatively far away, and the two people were obviously walking very fast, as if something was chasing behind them.

When the distance was close enough that the faces could be seen clearly, Xu Shu realized that their expressions were very dignified.

Yuan Guang came over and said with a pale face, "I may be dying."

Xu Shu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, "What's going on?"

"It's not that Xiaohe!" Yang Rui said: "We met her in the town just now, she has been staring at Yuan Guang, her expression is the same as when she saw Yu Yao last night!"

She recounted what happened in the town just now, gritted her teeth and said, "This damn game, how many more deaths will I have to die to be willing!"

After Xu Shu listened, he understood everything in his heart.

It turns out that the taboo is—you can’t bring up topics related to patriarchy or drowning female babies in front of those "living" residents...

He looked at Yuan Guang's pale face, hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the ghost who killed the player should not be Xiaohe, but other people in the town, no, other ghosts."

Yang Rui and Yuan Guang were stunned for a moment, and after a long time, Yang Rui asked blankly, "You, what did you say?"

"We found a lot of skeletons far down the river, and there were many ornaments and other things that we had seen in the town. In addition, there were incomplete bones of babies next to some smaller skeletons that were suspected to be women. I'm guessing it's ... a woman died while pregnant, or with a baby in her arms."

"Ah?" Yuan Guang said in a daze, "You mean...that is the body of the pregnant woman in the town? All those people in the town have died long ago?!"

"Probably."

Xu Shu looked at Ji Chuan and said, "We walked all the way just now, we discussed it, and there is actually an obvious doubt. It is the location of the dead bodies on the streets of the town."

That was a problem he had noticed when he entered the town, but he completely ignored it in the subsequent incidents—why are most of the corpses and dying townspeople lying on the entrance of the town? ?

The further they walked into the town, the cleaner the streets became, and there was not even a single corpse in the middle of the town.

what is this?

Xu Shu had doubts before, but he didn't take it too seriously.And everything that happened later seemed to have nothing to do with this point, so he completely left it behind.

It wasn't until he and Ji Chuan were walking towards the town just now that he thought about this question again.

And this time, he finally figured it out.

Just because the people in the town have long since died!

The catastrophe took their lives, so what happened after that?

When this most difficult period is over, the government will definitely send someone to deal with these corpses.During this process, the dead bodies will naturally be gathered in one place and processed in a unified manner.

That's why - the corpses were all moved to the outskirts of the town!

But the bones in the river were definitely not those lying in the town.

Because no matter what kind of officials they are, they will not be so stupid as to order people to throw the corpses into the river.

In other words, only those "alive" people in the town are the owners of the bones in the river.

Based on the previous clues, Xu Shu and Ji Chuan's guesses were like this.

And just now, through Yuan Guang and Yang Rui's description, Xu Shu got some new clues, and further refined this guess——

He believed that the corpses in the river were all killed by Xiaohe who had turned into a river demon.

His initial guess was not wrong, it was just not comprehensive enough.

Xiaohe is indeed the incarnation of the great river, and all she has to do is take revenge on the townspeople.

Maybe even the drought was part of her business, the river was not stopped because of drought, but because she wanted it to stop.

When the war broke out, at the time of the most chaos and the lack of food and clothing, she created this catastrophe of cannibalism, causing the townspeople to die of famine.

But in the meantime, she killed some of them herself—or ate them.

As a "river", the people she ate should be equivalent to being drowned by the river, so all those corpses appeared in the lower reaches of the river.

Only after this, those who were eaten did not realize that they were dead.

Their ghosts have returned to the town and created a space cut off from reality to live in a famine that was already past.

So, what if at this time, an uninformed player personally reminds them to let them know that they are dead?

Why did they die?Not because of famine, but because of extreme patriarchy.

So when the player brings up children, patriarchy, or drowning girls in front of them, they're reminded that they're dead, and why.

At this time, knowing that they have become ghosts, they will naturally run wild and kill people.

The whole story seemed to become complete all of a sudden.

Xu Shu thought about it, and finally told Yang Rui and Yuan Guang all these guesses.

Yuan Guang obviously couldn't accept it after listening to it. He kept shaking his head, his face became paler, and he said anxiously: "Impossible, how could it be like this! This is too unbelievable! I didn't trigger the taboo, it was that brat I've always looked at people like this..."

As he spoke, his voice became hoarse, and then his expression became flustered again, and he grabbed Xu Shu's arm: "What should I do? What should I do? Am I really going to die?! Help me Come on, help me!"

He also wanted to grab Ji Chuan's arm, but was avoided by the other side.

So his hand on Xu Shu's arm became even stronger, as if a drowning man grasped the last straw.

Xu Shu felt a little pain from being pinched by him, frowned slightly, and was about to withdraw his hand, but saw Ji Chuan squeeze Yuan Guang's wrist and twist it forcefully, forcefully twisting his hand away.

Then Ji Chuan turned his head to look at Xu Shu, and said flatly, "You can only let me lead you."

Xu Shu:? ? ?

Brother, are you alright?Are you crazy and don't look at the time?

Then he saw Yang Rui looking back and forth between him and Ji Chuan with an expression of "so that's it".

Just as Xu Shu was about to explain, she heard her say again: "You two seem like a couple."

"..." Xu Shu: "Yuan Guang is about to die, what are you talking about?"

Yuan Guang, who was ignored, had a bitter expression on his face, and fell behind the three of them dejectedly.

Xu Shu stopped and thought for a while, then comforted him, "Don't be so pessimistic, there is actually a little hope."

Yuan Guang's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Do you have a solution?!"

Xu Shu scratched his head: "There may not be any way, I was just thinking, if Xiao He wasn't the murderer, why did she go out when the two players died before? Maybe she didn't go to kill, but wanted to save What about people? After all, those townspeople are her enemies, and it is only natural for her to destroy their good deeds."

Seeing Yuan Guang's hopeful expression, he quickly added: "Don't be so happy, this is my wild guess, maybe we are still wrong this time?"

Yuan Guang's expression changed back and forth between "dead" and "resurrected", and finally sighed softly: "Thank you, no matter what, try it... I'll go find Xiaohe right now."

On the other side, Ji Chuan moved closer to Yang Rui, and lowered his voice expressionlessly and asked, "Who is the wife?"

Yang Rui looked at his cold look that might kill someone at any time, and pointed at Xu Shu.

Ji Chuan turned his head to look at Xu Shu, showing a smile.

Xu Shu was confused, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with me?"

Yang Rui coughed and turned to look at the sky in another direction.

When the four of them returned to the town, they felt that everything in the town was a little different.

Especially when seeing the living townspeople, I always feel that every expression of them looks very subtle.

Xiao He stayed in the courtyard, and immediately greeted Xu Shu and the others when he came back, and said with an aggrieved face, "Brother Xu, where have you been? Xiao He didn't see you when he woke up, so he went to the town to look for you I couldn’t find it all the time, I thought you abandoned me!”

Before Xu Shu could speak, Yuan Guang hurriedly said, "Sister Xiaohe, can you save me? Those people in the town are ghosts, right? That old woman is also a ghost today, and she will kill me tonight." Really? Can you save me? Please help me?"

Xiao He looked at him, blinked his eyes lightly, with an innocent expression on his face, as if he didn't understand what he was saying at all.

This kind of expression fell into Yuan Guang's eyes, and his heart suddenly became cold.

Seeing his desperate look, Xu Shu wanted to comfort him, but he knew that no matter what he said at this time, there was a feeling of standing up and talking without back pain.

He thought for a while and said to Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, I don't know if there is something you can't tell us, but if you are really helping us, please save him tonight."

Xiao He still didn't speak, just smiled at Xu Shu, then turned and walked away, and sat on the stone steps in the yard.
