The man in the bandage was a little farther away from Qi Tianhe's bamboo mat.

Bai Chan stared at him for a while, making sure he wasn't possessed, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.Qi Tianhe has always pursued stability, and took the initiative to stay in the same space with ghosts in order to be cooler, which is not like his style.

Seeming to know what the other party is thinking, Qi Tianhe explained: "There are conditions for ghosts to kill people. This ghost prefers to play games."

For example, when they came that day, Liu Tianming and the ghost were playing as wooden figurines. Because Bai Chan interfered with the game, the children wanted to drag him into the tank.If you want to gain the initiative, you have to be the first to come up with games that interest children.

Bai Chan: "What are you playing now?"

Qi Tianhe: "Playing house, he pretends to be an electric fan."

"..."

Bai Chan went around to the tank, only to find that the child puffed up his cheeks to blow air-conditioning outside from time to time, and when he had blown enough, he began to laugh strangely, repeating the cycle endlessly.

In the previous conversation, Qi Tianhe deliberately observed Xiao Wu's expression, wondering how the NPC would react when he heard this, but Xiao Wu just happened to be distracted at this time, as if he didn't know what they were talking about.

Sure it wasn't an act, Qi Tianhe looked away and fell into deep thought.

Bai Chan understood the intention and said, "Don't underestimate the game."

Witnessing everything controlled by the game with his own eyes, Qi Tianhe temporarily gave up trying to test the NPC, and returned to the mission... The reason why he came here was not just to enjoy the cool air, and he took the initiative to talk about the clues he got from Xinniao: It said 'innocent souls are still suffering', so I wanted to come and see."

"Innocent?" Bai Chan repeated with a slight sarcasm.

The death of a child is very tragic. Children's ghosts are often more terrifying than adults' wraiths. Their skin is pale, and their eyes are big and dark, so dark that the pupils can hardly be seen.

Anyone facing such a scene will never associate with the word innocent.

Qi Tianhe wasn't sure about his own judgment at first, but seeing Bai Chan and the man in the bandage also came here, it obviously proved that his idea was correct.

The man in the bandage spoke suddenly, and the voice changer made the voice even more hollow in the cellar: "What is your basis for judgment?"

Bai Chan is also very interested in this point. He and the man in bandages only got the information through some tricks. Qi Tianhe was able to come here first by himself, which is considered to have a very good prediction.

"Exclusion method." Qi Tianhe: "There are really no normal people... and ghosts in this town."

Whether it is a town resident or a player.

"..."

The small space suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Bai Chan patted Qi Tianhe's shoulder lightly: "The logic is meticulous."

Qi Tianhe: "It's a pity that children don't want to talk too much. It seems that they only share clues after winning the game."

The game of pretending to be an electric fan is proposed by the players, and there is no winning or losing in essence.

Bai Chan didn't even think about it: "The clue is at the mayor's house."

Qi Tianhe looked at him in surprise.

Bai Chan: "After Liu Tianming finished playing the wooden figure game, he offered to stay at the mayor's house for a day."

Qi Tianhe left early at that time and didn't know it. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a thing?"

Bai Chan nodded: "At that time, I even praised your kindness."

Qi Tianhe coughed.

Just as he was about to speak, he looked up again and found that the man in the bandage had disappeared at some point.

"What about others?"

Bai Chan: "Probably looking for clues."

Or I really can't listen to comments about someone's kindness.

The rewards of special branches depend on the degree of task completion and exploration, Qi Tianhe no longer joked: "We will go too."

The way ahead was blocked, and the surrounding vats began to vibrate violently at this moment, some vegetables were shaken out, and the child instantly moved into the front empty vat, and patted the edge displeasedly: "I want to play house..."

The swollen hands were bloody, and the too dark eyes stared straight at Qi Tianhe: "You are not allowed to run."

Qi Tianhe's face remained unchanged: "Don't run."

Then he pointed to Xiao Wu, who was enjoying the cool and silly fun there: "Isn't he still playing with you?"

The child didn't listen to the explanation at all, and the enamel was shot with a crack. If he continued to use such force, the container would shatter and he would come out sooner or later.

Qi Tianhe instantly understood that there was no way to be kind, and turned his head: "Why don't you go up to find clues first, and I will continue to waste?"

Bai Chan looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You really care about rewarding special branches."

Qi Tianhe didn't deny it, anyway, as long as one of the two gets it, it's a bloody profit.

Bai Chan looked at the child: "What game do you want to play?"

The child seemed to recognize Qi Tianhe, and just stared at him: "Guess where I will hide?"

After closing the lid of the empty tank, more than a dozen cups made a sound at the same time. The sound was not clear, like a cat scratching the board. Disappeared at the third jar.

A few drops of water remaining on the lid swayed out and evaporated instantly on the ground.

No matter how you play this game, it is good for ghosts. If the child is a little naughty, he can even change to another place while Qi Tianhe gives the answer.

Bai Chan: "

Be careful with mystification. "

Not much to say, it seems that this game is not too difficult for Qi Tianhe.

Qi Tianhe calmly summoned the corpse dog and gave it a look. The corpse dog walked to the water tank and sniffed, walking slowly like a king patrolling his territory.Xiao Wu leaned against the water tank and fell asleep, dazedly, as if he felt something horrible, shrank his body, and continued to bury his head in sleep.

The corpse dog passed by him, and finally returned to Qi Tianhe, its tail slapped the ground twice.

Qi Tianhe took back the corpse dog, stepped on the ground lightly, stretched out his bloody hand from the soil and grabbed his ankle, and said with a grin: "You won."

The child's fingers were hot, and his skin seemed to be burned. When he let go, Qi Tianhe lifted his trousers, and there was a black handprint on it.Looking closely, there seems to be a series of numbers, but they are upside down. Qi Tianhe tilted his head to try to see clearly, but found that it was still a bit reluctant, so he continued to tilt...

Bai Chan stopped him in time: "Do you want to screw your own head off?"

Qi Tianhe gave a dry laugh.

"05427."

Bai Chan read the words above.

The kid didn't say what it was for, but it was clearly a code for something.He climbed back to the empty tank again, and did not stop Qi Tianhe from leaving.

·

The mayor's house is the largest in Yizhen, with a specially built attic.Qi Tianhe stood downstairs, the wind blowing from the trees was not as hot as other places, so he went to the cellar to check again, but he didn't see any feathers.

"There are red feathers at the door of Xiao Wu's cellar, and the temperature in the cellar is quite high," Qi Tianhe said to Bai Chan: "But he is still very lucky that it is not black feathers."

Assuming that the temperature is arranged from high to low, it is black>red>empty.

Bai Chan thought of something, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "The mayor doesn't look like a kind person, but he has enjoyed relatively good treatment."

He paused and asked him, "Don't you think it's interesting?"

Qi Tianhe saw the coldness in the other party's eyes, and guessed that Bai Chan was not in a good mood right now.

"Is there something wrong with the mayor?"

Bai Chan didn't speak, not wanting to let the uncertain guess affect Qi Tianhe's own judgment: "Go in and have a look first, and find out the purpose of that string of passwords."

Some people find it difficult to climb over windows and walls, but Bai Chan has already reached the level of flying over eaves and walls. He easily broke the wooden boards fixed to the windows on the third floor.

Not long after, a hemp rope was thrown from above, and Qi Tianhe was about to climb up along it.Bai Chan shook his head and turned around, implying that he tied the rope around his waist to prevent accidents.

"..."

As a rock climbing enthusiast, Qi Tianhe felt it necessary to clarify that he still has the ability to climb walls!

Self-esteem can sometimes be thrown away every day in the dungeon. When he climbed to the first floor, he found a lot of glass shards on the window sill, and he couldn't find a place to stay. He retreated again, tied the rope obediently, and stepped on the wall with his strength.

The corridor was dim and the windows were sealed, giving people a depressing feeling everywhere.

Bai Chan: "Liu Tianming must have gotten some clue from the child, so he specially drew the floor plan of the room."

Hearing this, Qi Tianhe was thoughtful.

The two first went to the attic, which is often the place where the most clues are hidden in horror stories, but the result was disappointing. There was only a pile of useless debris in the attic.The mayor and his wife didn't know what they were doing at home, there was no sound at all, and they couldn't determine the location of the NPC. They were very careful in their actions. One was scouting the road in front, and the other was sneaking behind.

When passing the toilet on the second floor, Qi Tianhe stopped suddenly.

Bai Chan: "Go, I'll wait for you."

Qi Tianhe waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mean that, he stepped back and walked the distance again.

Just as Qi Tianhe weighed repeatedly, someone came up.

The sound of footsteps going upstairs gradually amplified, and Bai Chan immediately pulled him into the bathroom.

As the footsteps got closer, the two sides moved behind the door to ensure that they would have a buffer when the NPC came in. Bai Chan raised his head and began to look around, as if looking for a weapon at hand.

Qi Tianhe said softly: "The mayor and his wife are the main characters, they cannot be killed."

The copy is backtracked twice for them.

Baichan: "That's why I need to find a wooden board, just knock it out."

To put it bluntly, it is estimated that I have done a lot of work.

Qi Tianhe recalled the previous evening when the mayor appeared holding a black umbrella, with a bruise on his eye, and instantly understood the source of the wound.

The footsteps stopped, and they didn't open the door to come in as they were worried about. There was no movement in the corridor for a long time, and Qi Tianhe didn't dare to go out rashly, for fear that the mayor or the mayor's wife would stand blankly when he opened the door. There.

The tip of Bai Chan's nose moved: "Scent."

Qi Tianhe smelled the two of them, but there was no smell.

Bai Chan laughed: "The smell of burning incense."

Qi Tianhe shrugged, he didn't smell it anyway.

By the way, Bai Chan explained the types of incense to him: "This is a very high-quality incense, specially used for worship."

Qi Tianhe knew for the first time that incense could be divided into such small pieces.

"

In most cases, it is mixed." Bai Chan tilted his head, as if he could see the outside through the door panel: "It seems that the mayor and his wife are well versed in this. "

The scent was too weak, and there was a door behind it. After about 5 minutes, Qi Tianhe could vaguely smell a little scent, but before he could savor it carefully, the scent quickly dissipated again.

There was the sound of walking in the corridor again, and Bai Chan put her ear to the door, making sure that the person was far away before opening the door and going out.

The incense ash had been swept away a long time ago, and only a little bit of crumbly ashes remained stuck in the cracks in the wall.Bai Chan bent down and rubbed it with her fingertips, then turned her head and said with a smile, "Did you discover something earlier?"

Qi Tianhe nodded and pointed to the blank wall: "There may be a room inside."

When he just passed by, he felt something was wrong. This is also due to the first copy. At that time, Lu Nan's protagonist hid the door in order to completely erase the traces of his residence.When Qi Tianhe downloads the dungeon later, he will subconsciously pay attention to the harmony of the architectural layout.

"The corridor is too long, unless the room near the landing is very large."

But that kind of possibility is almost non-existent, otherwise it would appear even more uncoordinated.

Bai Chan stood up, patted the ashes on her hands, and stared at the wall in front of her: "Who do you think normal people would burn incense against an empty wall?"

He didn't hear a response, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Qi Tianhe had already picked up the small shovel, as if he would smash it down violently in the next second.

"Calm down," he said.

Qi Tianhe: "Don't worry."

He just wanted to see if there was something like a sealing barrier, so he tapped lightly on the wall with very little force, only leaving a piece of wall.

Qi Tianhe retracted the shovel, the next moment the wall suddenly began to shake by itself, and the dust falling from the ceiling made people almost sneeze.Fortunately, the movement was not too loud, and no one who had just come down was attracted.

He shrugged innocently, saying that it was really not his fault.

The wall was pulled away from the inside, and there was a small door in front of them, only disguised by clever decoration.

The bandaged man appeared and stood face to face with the two. An ear-shaped prop was installed on the wall inside, probably a loudspeaker, and any sound in the corridor could be transmitted through the ear.

"Thank you for opening the door." Qi Tianhe squeezed in from the side, not forgetting to call Baichan to join him.

Judging from the layout, this is just an ordinary small room. The white cloth that was originally covering the furniture was lifted and thrown aside. It can be seen that the man in the bandage had already rummaged through it before they came.

Qi Tianhe glanced up and down... and found that the funny love bag in the other party's hand was stretched out in a square shape, and it looked like it contained a notebook or something.

"Diary." The bandage man's words confirmed his guess.

Qi Tianhe: "Code locked?"

The man in the bandage took it out directly. There was indeed a combination lock on the side, and the plastic case could be broken if broken.

Qi Tianhe firmly believes that the password he has obtained is useful, and one end of the balance of equivalent exchange is that the player is betting his life, and it is impossible for a ghost to give out useless information casually.

Sure enough, the man in the bandage pointed to the white tape pasted outside, which read: Peeking without the owner's permission is a violation of privacy.

The characters are crooked, and one of them is still a typo.

Qi Tianhe tentatively asked: "I have the password, let's see it together?"

The bandaged man threw the diary over.

Qi Tianhe didn't expect him to be so eloquent. While dialing the numbers, he wondered: "Liu Tianming has already got clues, but he didn't find out the diary."

"Maybe it turned out." Bai Chan said lightly: "When he came back that day, he was holding something in his hand, but he encountered backtracking."

"..." Only then did Qi Tianhe realize that he seemed to have tricked his teammates.

When the diary was opened, Bai Chan and the man in the bandage each took a small step back, without any interest in coming over to read it.Qi Tianhe suddenly remembered that he found the old earl's diary in the previous dungeon, and Liu Tianming also made the same choice. According to him, players who read the ghost's diary may be cursed by the ghost... It is enough for one person to bear this kind of thing.

Baichan: "The child gave you the password, so it's not a big problem."

After speaking, he stepped back further.

"..."

The corner of Qi Tianhe's mouth twitched slightly, and he began to read the contents of the diary.

"School is closed and it's hot."

"There are fewer and fewer meals on the table, and even the staple food is gone. I'm so hungry."

The diary was written in a jerk, and nearly a dozen pages were filled with the words 'hungry' with a pen. The person who wrote the diary was already in a state of anxiety, and the paper in the middle was punctured by the tip of the pen because of excessive force.

"A pure white bird flew from the sky, so beautiful, my father said it was a letter bird, and it was the mountain god who came to save us."

"The letter bird brought fruit, and I like it very much."

The appearance of Xinniao became the dawn in the child's heart, and his diary began to revolve around Xinniao, and the handwriting did not reveal the scribbled impatience before.

"The fruit brought by the letter bird is less than before. I think it's because the fruit there is almost gone. After all, it goes back and forth several times a day."

Then skip a few more days.

"My father said that there will be meat soon, I am so happy!"

This excitement took a turning point on the second day. A dozen exclamation points were written on one page: "They actually caught the letter bird and killed it to eat! I went to reason with my father. He scolded me, and my mother scolded me too." But this is wrong, I am going to tell the teachers and friends at the school, let them release the letter bird with me."

The child writes a few lines at most as a diary every day, sometimes only a sentence, but that night, he wrote another one: "No one cares about me, I decided to release the letter bird myself."

The diary is completely over here, and the paper behind it is as new as before.

Qi Tianhe summed it up roughly, then told Bai Chan and the man in the bandage, closed the notebook and said, "Something must have happened that night."

Bai Chan had heard many more tragic stories than this one, so he didn't see too many emotional fluctuations, but he was obviously ashamed of what the mayor and his wife did, and sneered: "No matter what happens, the result will inevitably lead to the tragic death of the child. "

Qi Tianhe: "The pain of the town residents comes from Ziniao's revenge, but judging from the diary, the child is kind to Xinniao, so who is torturing his soul?"

Suddenly, Bai Chan's icy smile from downstairs appeared in his mind, leading to an absurd guess: "Could it be the mayor and his wife?"

Bai Chan: "The mayor has the power to decide many things in the town. He was the first to catch the letter birds, but the temperature here is lower than other places. The reason may be this child."

Qi Tianhe's lips moved, and Bai Chan reached out to cover his mouth symbolically: "It has nothing to do with the air conditioner."

Not everyone will regard the ghost's lair as a summer resort.

When Qi Tianhe was considering how to fulfill Xinniao's request so that the souls of innocent people would not be tortured, the man in bandages restored the room to avoid leaving any traces of man-made rummaging.

"The child only moves in the cellar, and his range of movement is limited," the man in the bandage rarely expressed his opinion: "Something sealed him."

After a pause, he continued: "No matter how kind you were in life, your behavior will develop in an extreme direction after you transform into a ghost."

The latter sentence seems to be said intentionally to Qi Tianhe, warning him not to be too emotional when things happen.

Qi Tianhe was very clear on this point. Ten minutes ago, he was still playing games with the children in the cellar. If he lost, he would probably be cold by now.

The man in the bandage didn't move with them, and went out and fell through the window in the corridor.

Qi Tianhe wondered: "The clues are concentrated on the mayor, why did he run out?"

Bai Chan shrugged and did not comment.

The air in the house was not circulating, Qi Tianhe fanned it with his hands, and his thoughts went astray: "It's so hot in short sleeves, how can you die with bandages all over your body in winter?"

"It's props.

"

"Ok?"

Bai Chan: "I've noticed that bandages are props that can keep out cold and heat. In case of danger, it can also ensure that the person concerned is protected from water and fire within a certain period of time."

"..." Poverty made him ignorant.

Qi Tianhe was sour in silence, focusing on the key points: "We have to find a way to get clues from the mayor and his wife."

Bai Chan: "You can use the most primitive method."

Qi Tianhe: "...overhearing?"

Bai Chan nodded: "The temperature is abnormal recently, they must be very anxious, or they don't know how to burn incense, and they will inevitably mention some past events in their daily life."

The method is useful but time-consuming, and there is a risk of exposure if you are not careful.

Bai Chan obviously had a plan long ago: "I'll go downstairs to make some noise, you check every room and find a place to hide by the way."

In terms of observation ability, he is slightly inferior to Qi Tianhe.

Very reasonable division of labor, Qi Tianhe has no objection.

Before leaving, Bai Chan said, "Remember to keep in touch."

Qi Tianhe frowned: "One house and one house outside, how to contact?"

From time to time, Bai Chan would forget that he is now a player, and he couldn't transform into a parrot to go in and out of someone's head for the time being, so he thought of a way: "Shout for help when in danger."

"..."

Not long after he went out, there was a crackling sound outside, Qi Tianhe hid in the corner of the stairs and observed the direction of the door, and was startled by the vibration unexpectedly.

The noise was so loud that he seriously doubted whether Bai Chan had lit the firecrackers.

The mayor and his wife went out with umbrellas and an iron rod in their hands. Qi Tianhe took the opportunity to sneak into the room on the first floor.

It's very clean, a little too clean... This is Qi Tianhe's first impression.

There are only a few pieces of clothing in the closet, all of which are well-equipped and hung there. There is no dressing table, and there is a large bowl on the bed cabinet with a feather left in it.He picked it up and smelled it, and it was very fishy, ​​similar to the Jiguo soup on the dinner table that day.

After almost turning around, there was a sound from outside.

"Could it be some omen?" The mayor's wife was uneasy.

"What can there be? Don't think about it."

"This has never happened before. You can see that the red powder is just in the shape of a feather."

Qi Tianhe knew that Baichan was playing tricks, and the two were about to come in after hearing the sound. They looked around and felt that it was safer under the bed than the wardrobe, which might be opened at any time.

The conversation was getting closer, Qi Tianhe no longer hesitated, and quickly got under the bed, in the semi-darkness, he suddenly met a pair of open eyes.

"It's me." Liu Tianming whispered.

Qi Tianhe resisted the conditioned reflex and almost lost his voice. After a few seconds of delay, he asked with lingering fear, "Are you looking for clues too?"

Liu Tianming hummed lightly: "When I came here, I happened to meet Mr. Dong Ri, thinking that he didn't have a password, so I didn't rush to grab the diary."

Seeing that he had been eavesdropping on the corner for a while, Qi Tianhe asked if he found anything.

"The mayor and his wife ate the meat of the letter bird, and they are half human and half ghost."

Qi Tianhe: "They cook those soups every day..."

"Yes." Before he finished speaking, Liu Tianming nodded directly: "But I searched around, but I didn't find Xinniao's body."

Qi Tianhe thought for a while: "After so many years, I guess there are only a few feathers left."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, the mayor entered the room, and the two under the bed stopped communicating.

His wife came in next, carrying a steaming bowl of soup.

The mayor didn't drink it right away, but patted the table: "It's useless at all. It's said that you can become a mountain god after eating the bird meat. It's really unreliable stuff written in the book."

"Don't talk nonsense," the wife said, "the book records so detailed that the letter bird looks exactly the same."

The mayor seems convinced.

Wife: "Anyway, it's been a long time since I ate it. According to the above, this year is the last year. After all, we've just finished eating."

After a pause, her voice was slightly hesitant: "I hope there will be no accidents. The tourists who came this time feel that something is not right."

"If it affects them, kill them." The mayor said viciously.

Qi Tianhe suddenly felt that when Bai Chan beat them up, he was still too light.

The mayor and his wife almost talked about Xinniao, and they didn’t hear any news about the child, but there was an unexpected harvest. The background introduction of the dungeon mentioned that Yizhen was included in "Folk Hunting Stories". Also a chapter mentioned in the book?

The way to leave Yizhen may be in that book.

The author has something to say: No Responsibility Small Theater:

Qi Tianhe: I really want to catch a few ghosts to practice Beep skills.

Baichan: I really want to catch some ghosts to eat.

Liu Tianming: Remember to sign the prenuptial property agreement.
