The NPC Was Once Again Frightened By Me

The joker walks side by side with Cube K in the corridor.At the end of the corridor is the event site of the Advent Foundation.

"It seems that we are not too late." Square K said in joker's ear.

Lin Huai: "Well, it's not too late if everyone has not died."

Block k: ...

The venue of the "Advent Foundation" is a large conference room.There are more than a dozen chairs scattered among them, and whiteboards are hung on the walls.In addition, there are curtains for showing movies.

Before Lin and Chu arrived, there were already several masked people sitting in the meeting room, talking about something.Seeing them push the door and come in, the masked people looked up at them.

"This scene..." Lin Huai heard Chu Tianshu's low voice, "It reminds me..."

Lin Huai chuckled lightly: "The last supper?"

Chu Tianshu: "No, it's the life meeting of the Youth League in the university."

Lin Huai: ……………

...I don't know why, but I always feel that the atmosphere of terror has disappeared in an instant.What's with this warm feeling, as if being illuminated by the light of the materialist worldview... Lin Huai twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Good evening." The woman wearing the mask of Club 6 giggled, "You can sit down wherever you want."

She pointed to the pile of chairs.

Lin Huai was at a loss for what to do with her enthusiastic and lively attitude.After all, according to his previous experience, this Advent Foundation looks like an organization composed of a group of magic sticks no matter how you look at it.

He randomly picked a chair and sat down, while Square K sat on the other side.Beside him, the other playing cards were still rustling and discussing something.

Lin Huai: ...

He turned his ears to listen carefully to what they were discussing.

"The haunted house in the east of the city... the midnight area... the price of souvenirs has increased..."

"Have you watched the latest horror movie?... Nothing to watch... The main character is mentally ill again, and he woke up to find that he had a dream..."

"Novel... um, I'll send it to you when I go back..."

Lin Huai: ...

Compared with this weird meeting place and weird way of activities, the content of these people's discussions is so normal, it's almost like having an ordinary exchange of ghosts and fellowships, or "spirits only".

He leaned back in his chair and yawned.

Square K also joined the discussion, but no one came to talk to him.

"Is this your first time here?"

A voice sounded next to his ear, Lin Huai turned his head, and it turned out that the person who came was Meihua Lu.

"Don't be nervous," Plum Blossom Lu comforted him kindly, "Don't think the rules of the Foundation's activities are weird, but in fact, everyone is quite easy to get along with."

Lin Huai rolled his eyes, and said shyly, "How did you know...it's my first time here?"

Plum Blossom 6 covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't say why: "You'll know if you come here a few times, it's obvious for someone like you. But... it's the first time I've seen a person wearing a black and white clown mask .”

— before he came, no one wore the mask of a black and white clown?

Lin Huai said: "Ah, hehe, maybe it's because I'm a little different from you."

Plum Blossom Lu tilted her head: "What's the difference?"

Lin Huai: "I paid for it, I'm a high-level VIP."

Club 6: ...

Lin Huai: "You can also try charging money. If you fill up [-], you can get a black and white clown mask. If you fill up [-], you can get a colorful clown mask. If you fill up [-], you can wear two masks per person."

Club 6: ...

"You're so funny." She laughed.

Lin Huai also smiled: "Hehe."

As he said that, he turned to her sideways: "I'm not very familiar with this place when I first came here, but why is our meeting place so remote? And it's this kind of murderous building where horrible incidents happened..."

"Of course it's to create an atmosphere." The woman smiled and said, "Our place is a gathering place for supernatural lovers, and..."

She deliberately lowered her voice: "Have you heard of it? There are ghosts in this hotel. "

Lin Huai said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing..."

"Hey, little brother, you're quite scientific." The woman covered her lips and smiled, "We're all supernatural lovers, so we still do this."

Lin Huai: "I did see a bloody female ghost on the thirteenth floor when I went upstairs, so it's true."

woman:………………

She silently closed her mouth.

Lin Huai said again: "Our gathering is once a week, is it always so far away?"

The woman thought for a while and said, "Well... almost."

Lin Huai nodded: "Then..."

He hesitated for a moment, and seemed a little uneasy.Seeing his appearance, Mei Hua Lu's eyes flashed.

Mei Hua Lu said warmly: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"Actually..." Lin Huai stammered, "I'm a bit afraid to say, but..."

Plum Blossom 6 giggled: "Go ahead."

Lin Huai: "Then will our foundation reimburse the travel expenses? My family lives in District xx, and the round trip costs more than 100 yuan. Once a week, I really can't afford it."

Club 6: ...

Club 6 was a little speechless.Lin Huai then smiled: "Hehe, I'm just joking."

Lin Huai managed to stay away from Plum Blossom Lu who seemed to be trying to inquire about him with a poor spirit.Mei Hualu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something else, a man's hoarse voice came from the venue: "Long time no see, everyone, how are you doing this week?"

Lin Huai raised his head.

Appearing in front of everyone was a man wearing a spade ace mask, who seemed to be the organizer of the party.The middle-aged man sitting in the front row sighed: "It's still the same."

"Yes." The woman on the other side also said weakly, "There is nothing to look forward to."

Ace of Spades smiled at the woman: "Is there any new progress in your story?"

The woman shook her head.

5 of Hearts and 7 of Hearts led the last guest into the meeting room and closed the door.Spade A counted the people present: "One, two, three...thirteen, okay."

He smiled: "Everyone is here."

Thirteen?

Lin Huai turned his head and counted, and confirmed that after including himself and Chu Tianshu, there were 13 people in the meeting room.

But... why exactly 13 people?

The tragedy happened on the thirteenth floor. Is there any connection between this and their thirteen people?

"Tonight's friends are all here. According to the usual practice, we will introduce each gathering again. The people who come here must be friends who have received invitations and love supernatural events. We may come from all corners of the world..."

Lin Huai whispered to Meihua Lu from below: "What, aren't we all from City S?"

Ace of Spades: ...

He said undisturbed: "But we all have the same interest in supernatural events. This hobby supports our activities again and again, and also supports our yearning for the supernatural world. After all..."

He smiled: "If there are no supernatural events in this world, wouldn't it be too boring and not worth looking forward to?"

While he was talking, Lin Huai was also secretly observing the other masked people.

When the ace of spades made such remarks, most people nodded their chins and responded with "approval".Lin Huai was also very happy to see that they had such an interest in supernatural events.After all, it meant he would be popular with the Foundation.

"As usual today, we chose a place where horrific incidents happened and full of spooky stories as our meeting place - Lijing Hotel. More than ten years ago, a murder case occurred here, twelve residents As a result, he died. And the man who made the murder was an employee with a universal room card—he used an ax to end the lives of all the residents.”

"Twelve residents?" Block K suddenly said, "With one employee, there are 13 people."

"We also happen to have thirteen people here." Plum Blossom 6 giggled, "I feel that tonight will be very exciting."

... No, twelve people and one ghost.Lin Huai took her words in her heart, it would indeed be very exciting tonight.

Ace of Spades smiled faintly: "Yes, so our first game tonight is—"

"tell a story."

"tell a story?"

"Yes, there are 13 of us here. Therefore, it corresponds to the twelve residents and the waiter of the Lijing Apartment more than ten years ago." Ace of Spades said, "Next, each of us will draw a The identity cards correspond to the twelve residents and the waiter."

"And then?" one of them asked excitedly.

His voice was very soft, Lin Huai listened to it, and thought it sounded familiar.

He couldn't help but stared back at the man.The man looked at him and seemed to smile at him.

'... Feels a little familiar? Lin Huai thought, "Where did I see it before?" '

"Everyone's identity experience and the room they live in are written on this piece of paper. Next, everyone who draws the card will tell what happened that night from the first perspective. Remember, From the perspective of the person who witnessed it." Ace of Spades said each word, "Describe what happened that night, describe the pain I suffered..."

Participants became excited with his words.Lin Huai "..." at the side.

"These people..." He twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm afraid that I didn't do enough deaths..."

This Lijing Hotel was haunted by the specter of tragic death.And the people inside are still so brave and fearless to die one after another, as if they are afraid that ghosts will not come to the door...

Lin Huai substituted himself.If someone's own grave is so enthusiastic about his own death as No. 1...

Lin Huai: ...the fist is hardened.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's grab the notes now." Ace of Spades smiled.

Lin Huai always felt that his eyes were glancing in his direction vaguely.

The drawers went up and down one by one.Lin Huai took back her paper ball and sat back in her seat.

He spread out the ball of paper, on which was written in blood red writing:

"waiter!"
