Du Lanzhang squatted down beside the old lady.

She has a rather pleasing face, and she is very popular with people of her age when she smiles.After a brief chat, Du Lanzhang learned that the other party was indeed familiar with the local dialect, and took out his mobile phone to download and play the audio file that Han Chuan had sent him.

When she really heard it, Du Lanzhang was even surprised—she had recorded it herself, but when she listened to it in the car, firstly, she didn’t record much, and secondly, after all, people were in the square at the time, and there were many noisy background sounds around, so it was difficult to record. It was too blatant, so the tour guide's voice was very soft.When Du Lanzhang was listening on the bus, he had a hard time distinguishing.

But now, the documents given by Han Chuan are very clear.It seems that all the background has been eliminated, and only the words of the tour guide are left, which are enlarged again.

Du Lanzhang was slightly happy.

She thought: I'll just say it, he sent this to me just now... He really is a little confident.

The old lady squinted her eyes and listened.

After listening to a sentence, she looked at Du Lanzhang.Du Lanzhang maintained a smiling face, but he was paying attention to his surroundings from the corner of his eye: no one suddenly approached, but all NPCs were walking on the street normally.Looking at it this way, I am still in the safe zone.

Her heart lifted a little, and then she let it down again.The old lady spoke and asked her where she heard this.Du Lanzhang talked nonsense, saying that this was an assignment related to folklore assigned by the teacher.Perhaps the old lady believed this, and said "huh".

She is so old.

When he got close, Du Lanzhang could smell the unique scent of an elderly person on the other party.The exhaled breath was cloudy with a slightly sour smell.Like a fruit that is overripe and about to rot.After reaching the end of life, the final journey is about to begin.

Du Lanzhang looked at the old lady's wrinkles, looked at the beautiful hair on the other's head, and listened to the other party's words.

Her eyes widened a lot at first, and then she took a deep breath, and could almost hear her own heart beating.

For a moment, I thought: How lucky?

For a while, I thought again: It's so...unfortunate.

This conversation took Du Lanzhang longer than originally expected.

She stood up, dizzy for a moment, and checked the time.There is only half an hour left, so I still... go and have a look.

……

……

Two 10 minutes ago.

Ji Hanchuan stepped into the mall.

He looked around, found the elevator, and went straight to a corner on the second floor.

Ji Hanchuan had a clear purpose, and when he got to the place, he found a seat and sat down.Next to it is a sealed plastic sheet. Compared with the hustle and bustle below, this place looks deserted.But after all, it is a place that is open for business, so people still pass by from time to time.

Most of those who came would not pay attention to a man sitting on the side playing with his mobile phone.Ji Hanchuan didn't have much purpose either. Since nothing happened, he continued to watch the news just now, hoping to find more clues.

Two years ago, there was a vicious attack here.Someone rushed into the women's bathroom with a knife.The density of people inside was so high that the murderer stabbed three young women with little effort.But when he pointed the knife at a girl, and the girl was frightened and trembling in place, the door of the next toilet opened, and a hand stretched out, holding anti-wolf spray.

Ji Hanchuan plugged in his earphones and watched the post-event interview.The person holding the anti-wolf spray was a student from a nearby university. The media treated her for privacy, with mosaics and voice changes.She replied that the anti-wolf spray was bought at the gate of the school. At first, she just wanted to reassure herself, and knew that it would not pass the security check, but she still carried it in her bag when she usually went shopping.Unexpectedly, it actually came into use.

Ji Hanchuan thought to himself: Good luck.

He searched in his mind, not remembering seeing the case.However, in this day and age, the daily news is endless, and Ji Hanchuan is busy on weekdays, so it is not something worthy of attention... He continued to read.

After the murderer inhaled the anti-wolf spray, the strong pungent smell threw him into a brief confusion.The girl with anti-wolf spray took the opportunity to lean out of the toilet cubicle, dragged the girl next to her into the cubicle, and then shrank in it, shivering.

Because of their short stature, girls inevitably inhaled some mist, but not many.She was still in a daze at the moment, and after that, there was chaos outside: the murderer lost his strength for a short time, and someone mustered up the courage to knock down the knife in his hand with the cleaning tools next to him.Afterwards, the murderer regained his composure and wanted to fight back.Someone picked up the knife and stabbed the murderer in a panic.

The murderer died on the spot.

The person who picked up the knife was later sentenced to self-defense.The girl didn't start crying until she got out of the toilet.The girl who took anti-wolf spray was confiscated and won an award for her bravery.Although the wounds of the three stabbed women were serious, they were all rescued and discharged from the hospital.

There was still some processing to be done later, Ji Hanchuan didn't look any further, but found a social app and searched by keyword.

After the incident, for a period of time, many people reported that when they went to the toilet on the second floor of the shopping mall, they would hear knocking on the door, and even saw a knife protruding from the crack of the door.

Ji Hanchuan went in to see one by one: they were all female users.

After that, I called the police and checked the monitoring, but nothing was gained.Gradually, the number of people coming here has decreased a lot.Probably for the overall business consideration, two months later, the mall closed the restroom here.

however--

Ji Hanchuan heard footsteps.

Someone was walking this way, he raised his eyelids and saw several players.They are efficient and already have shopping bags in hand.Going this way at the moment is still far away, but because there is no one around, Ji Hanchuan can vaguely hear them talking, saying: "Go to the toilet."

Several people are approaching.

They still didn't pay attention to Ji Hanchuan, even though Ji Hanchuan was looking up and looking at a few "teammates".He narrowed his eyes slightly, a little surprised: Is the world in his eyes different from theirs?

But Ji Hanchuan tilted his head, his pupils shrank slightly.

In the blink of an eye, the plastic sheet just now turned into a toilet.

There are even NPCs lining up.

It was Tang Wan and Wang Shiyun who were going to the toilet.On the male player's side, Tang Jianhong took the initiative to say that he could help carry the bag.Tang and Wang thanked each other, and then went to line up.They looked at the time and felt that it was too late.

Wang Shiyun: "I didn't say that, this is the fastest time to buy clothes in my life." Basically, I didn't look at it, I just felt that the size was right, and I paid for it.

Logan agreed, "Me too."

They were chatting, Ji Hanchuan thought about it and moved on.At this moment, Xin Cheng saw him first and called out, "Han Chuan!"

Ji Hanchuan looked at them and said, "5 minutes ago, this place was still a plastic sheet."

Xin Cheng: "..." His face froze.

Ji Hanchuan: "I was sitting there just now, you didn't see me."

Tang Jianhong frowned, and He Qiu let out a low cry.

The three looked at each other and said, "Here..."

Ji Hanchuan: "There was a case."

Several people chatted quickly, and in the blink of an eye, several players understood that entering the bathroom at this moment might be in danger.But they also hesitated, wondering whether they should face up to the difficulties.Fortunately, Ji Hanchuan's next sentence dispelled their worries: "...'Danger' is only in the women's restroom."

The three looked relieved.

From this point of view, it will not be an "attraction project" for everyone.

Thinking about it carefully, from the time the tour guide mentioned it on the bus to now, they always have many opportunities to choose and refuse.At this point, although the second floor happens to be the clothing area, they will definitely come up, but whether they want to come to the toilet is also based on subjective wishes.Such strong linear content will not be a "scenic spot".

So after Ji Hanchuan went forward and called Tang Wan and Wang Shiyun to stop, the two girls immediately became terrified when they thought of this.

There is still some time.

There was still about half an hour before the tour guide agreed, and the six of them were sitting on the seats next to them. Ji Hanchuan said keywords and asked them to search for news by themselves.The players went to check it individually, and were glad in their hearts.Tang Wan was imaginative and said, "So after we go in, we will also encounter..."

After finishing speaking, she froze for a moment, her face showing astonishment.

I don't know when it started, the side became quiet, there was no noise from the queue just now.In front of him is not a bright and atmospheric shopping mall toilet with lights on and incense, but a piece of plastic sheeting.

They... were never seen again.

Players rejoice.

This is the first day after all.Several people have almost believed that this is indeed an "easter egg", so it is not a pity to miss it.Even a little scared: According to the news, the murderer was carrying a knife.This will also be mentioned in the content of social apps in the future.A ghost, in a narrow space, is enough to make people frightened.If it is a ghost with a murder weapon again, Tang and Wang dare not imagine whether they can escape smoothly.

Tang Jianhong analyzed: "It seems that as long as you 'know the truth', you won't see that toilet." This can also explain why Ji Hanchuan didn't look sideways when he saw a few NPCs passing by.According to the "setting", they are locals, and most of them who can come here live nearby, so they must have heard relevant news.

Tang Jianhong: "Only new people who don't know anything will open this 'copy'. At this time, people who know the truth can choose to join."

You can also choose to call someone else.

Several people agree with this idea.

Tang Jianhong said: "From this point of view, there should be similar things in the future. Now, the journey has not officially started. This is probably a reminder. Today is the first day, the easiest. After that..."

He pondered for a moment.

This person's face is naturally serious.It is a Chinese character face, with two vertical lines at the corners of the lips, and deep-set eyes.Looking at him, Ji Hanchuan thought to himself that he had probably seen someone with this kind of temperament before.When he speaks, others have to believe more.

Tang Jianhong: "After that, when we encounter this kind of 'choice'," he said, "we should tend to avoid it? But the 'game' will not let you and me easily, so I have a guess."

"What?" asked the others.

Tang Jianhong motioned them to go out, and said: "After that, the 'choice' will gradually decrease, and finally to the point where each of us has to face it. But it probably won't be a 'sightseeing project', yes, I think so."

The rest of the people listened and thought about it.

After leaving the shopping mall, the sun shone down, and Wang Shiyun took out a few peaked caps from her shopping bag.She handed one to Ji Hanchuan and said, "I saw it just now, so I bought a few by the way. The place is quite dry, so it's more comfortable to wear."

She's obviously good at being a person.

After hearing this, Ji Hanchuan smiled and said, "Thank you." He didn't refuse.

After that, a few people walked to the parking place.Tang Jianhong was extra concerned and asked if the other players had come.He was worried that if someone else went there, he would be caught inadvertently.

Ji Hanchuan explained: "Liu Chunyang stayed at the parking lot. Du Lanzhang and I walked this way for a while, but there are other things—oh, here we come."

They ran into Du Lanzhang head-on.
