3. The first death

How many rabbit dolls are on the boat?

Ban Ming asked Liu Yue: "What's wrong?"

Liu Yue half-closed her eyes, took a deep breath through her nose, and then exhaled heavily: "Both of them are gone, you can see for yourself."

Ban Ming poked his head out and saw two half-gnawed human bodies lying on the wooden deck on the left. The blood stains spread from the feet of the rabbit dolls at the corner of the deck all the way to the body of the corpses.

Although their bodies were already in disrepair, their clothes were not damaged at all.

Ban Ming's stomach began to churn, and he bent over and retched: "It's disgusting to eat dirty."

Qiu Tongzhou patted Ban Ming on the back: "This is the two newcomers who didn't come."

Liu Yue squatted down, checked the wound briefly, and frowned: "It must be the two newcomers. They should have disappeared around eleven o'clock. We were all inside the house at that time, and no one heard us."

Ban Ming recovered and struggled to participate in the conversation: "No one went out through this door just now? Why didn't the body be found?"

Liu Yue: "I didn't pay attention."

Qiu Tongzhou shook his head slowly: "I didn't look carefully, but I remember that two people seemed to leave through this door."

Going out through this door but not being frightened by the corpse, it can only be inhuman things and players who already know that their companions are not human.

Ban Ming asked: "Who did you not see?"

Qiu Tongzhou shook his head.

Liu Yue took a deep puff of cigarette: "This time, one of the newcomers is not human, probably one of the two just now."

Ban Ming: "How tall are those two people?"

Qiu Tongzhou frowned, didn't speak for a long time, and finally he just said: "I'm not sure, but I don't look like a girl."

Apart from Ban Ming, there are only four newcomers left. If there are no girls among them, it is impossible for them to be a couple. It can only be Xiao Zhuizi and his companion.

Liu Yue: "The guy with the braids is quite eye-catching, but his companions seem to be quiet all the time."

Qiu Tongzhou interjected: "Xiaozizi's companion looks a bit male and female."

As soon as Liu Yue stopped smoking, she turned her head to look at Ban Ming.This one is also a bit on the side of boys and girls. No wonder Qiu Tongzhou just said that the captain misidentified the person. Did the captain recognize Ban Ming as the non-human thing among the players?

Ban Ming stared: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful boy?"

Liu Yue snorted and said, "Little brother is quite arrogant."

Ban Ming ignored him and turned his attention to the giant rabbit doll at the end of the bloodstain.

He stared at the rabbit doll for a while, feeling inexplicably terribly sad.He stared into the red eyes of the rabbit doll, and felt as if he had been waiting for a person for a long time, and he did not wait for him to come back until the end of his life.

"Ban Ming? Ban Ming!"

Ban Ming blinked and looked at Qiu Tongzhou blankly.

"Aren't you underdeveloped lacrimal glands?" Qiu Tongzhou raised his eyebrows.

Ban Ming touched her face suspiciously, and felt tears in one hand: "Am I crying?"

Liu Yue stood up with a cigarette in her mouth: "Okay, go and see that rabbit."

Ban Ming took two steps, looked at the red eyes of the rabbit doll again, and took a breath: "Wait, I seem to know who is in here."

Liu Yue and Qiu Tongzhou stopped and looked over.

"Guess, guess. It should be the captain." Ban Ming continued to walk forward, "The captain's eyes are exactly the same as it. And I've wandered around him several times with milk tea in my hand. Maybe the captain knows me that way."

Liu Yue sneered: "Your guess has no technical content at all, and the only npc I've seen on the entire ship is the captain."

Ban Ming's fingers twitched slightly.There is no technical content at all is the mantra of one of his friends.

Or to be precise, it was a friend who hadn't seen each other for a long time and couldn't be contacted for some reason.

The three surrounded the rabbit doll.Ban Ming heard that rustling sound again, this time it sounded more and more like ants crawling.

Liu Yue flicked the cigarette ash: "I take back what I said just now, I think what Ban Ming said makes sense, and nine out of ten of it is the captain."

Qiu Tongzhou didn't answer, his eyes lightly passed over the top of the rabbit doll's head, and suddenly said: "Didn't the captain say before that we are going to visit the scenic spots in the afternoon after dinner? Now we should get off the ship."

Ban Ming looked up and saw a rather shocking scene.

There should be an ocean ahead, but a parallel land appeared out of thin air.

On the land, there are endless forests on the left and right, and a large lake in the center. There is a huge stone beside the lake, with the words "Zhouying Lake" engraved on it.

The speed of the small cruise ship slowed down, and it slowly moored at the junction of land and sea.

Ban Ming was fascinated by the spectacle, but the rabbit doll in front of him trembled strangely. The three quickly stepped back and watched vigilantly.

A stream of black ants spewed out continuously from the gap between the rabbit's headgear and its body, and it covered the entire rabbit's body in less than two seconds.

The rabbit's body slowly deformed, deflated as if expelled, revealing the captain's clothes and pants.

The ants swarmed in along the sleeves, hem, neckline and trouser legs, and quickly condensed into the captain's appearance.

The captain beckoned to them.

The three of them were tense, and Liu Yue tentatively prepared to step over.

"Wait." Qiu Tongzhou stopped Liu Yue.

Liu Yue stopped immediately.She thought of something, looked back, and quickly pulled Ban Ming aside.

The two newcomers who had been half-gnawed stood up from the deck at some point, and their missing bodies were supplemented by black ants, turning half red and half black.They passed the three of them with light and slow steps, and walked behind the captain.

It turned out that the captain was not waving at the three of them just now, but at the two corpses behind the three of them.

At this time, the captain grinned as if he had just seen the three of them: "It's time to visit the attractions, let's get off the boat."

As soon as his words fell, the scene in front of Ban Ming's eyes changed without warning.

He was facing the stone engraved with "Zhouying Lake" in front of him, and there was no one around him.

He walked around the stone to the shore of the lake and looked around.

The lake is surrounded by trees, the density is just right, and the sun shines through the gaps, so beautiful that it is unreal.The surface of the lake surrounded by trees is shining, and it is impossible to see what is under the water.

Ban Ming walked around the lake for a few times and found nothing, and didn't dare to go into the water rashly. He decided to take a walk in the surrounding woods and return if there were any problems.

The light and shadow in the woods are like a dream, and Ban Ming has walked a long, long way unknowingly, and was lost when he realized it.

Ban Ming thought back to the state when he couldn't help walking into the depths of the forest just now—it couldn't be said to be possessed, but he felt that his heart was full of emotions that didn't belong to him at that time. The emotions were so strong that he couldn't help but think To go into the forest.

He found a stone on the spot and rested for the time being.He guessed that there must be some problem to be solved before returning to the ship, or he would naturally return to the ship when the visiting time was up.

The sun here seems to be setting very quickly, and in less than a few minutes, Ban Ming felt that the entire forest was darkened.

Ban Ming sat in the dark woods, and suddenly had the intuition of being watched.

The trees swayed from side to side with the wind, casting gray and black shapes, but—something was wrong.

He observed it carefully, and finally found that five steps away from him, there was a black shadow that did not move with the wind. It was half hidden behind the tree, half exposed, in the swaying black shadow right in his direction.

Ban Ming looked aside quietly, thinking about the probability of running away.

But when he looked in that direction again, he found that the black shadow moved forward by another tree trunk, and there was only one tree away from him.

The black shadow still maintained the same posture, staring at him motionless.

Ban Ming decided to wait and see.

A strong wind blew over, and the surrounding trees spun and danced as if being rubbed by a hand. Ban Ming couldn't see the black shadow at all. When the wind stopped, the black shadow disappeared.

Ban Ming's ears moved.He heard a rustling sound behind him, like something moving quickly.He prepared himself mentally, jumped up from the rock and turned around.

When he left the stone, he heard the sound of the stone making a popping sound, as if it had undergone rapid corrosion and disappeared in an instant.

The black shadow is in the shape of a girl. Seeing Ban Ming jump away, she turns her dark head to lock on the target again.

Seeing the ants that formed her fall off in an instant, Ban Ming closed her eyes and shouted, "I just got on the boat this morning!"

Ban Ming didn't wait for the pain of being bitten, and knew he was betting.

The ants condense into the appearance of a little girl again.She opened her mouth and asked, "How many rabbit dolls are there on the boat?" Ban Ming didn't answer.

The little girl asked again reluctantly: "How many rabbit dolls are there on the boat?"

"Four." Ban Ming's heart was pounding.

The little girl looked at him for a while, and murmured: "Every guest should be cut to death, even if you are new here."

Ban Ming shed a drop of cold sweat.

"But you look a lot like my mother." The little girl raised her face and looked at his brows and eyes stupidly. "You also like men's clothing?"

?Sorry to be offended.

"Yes, I like men's clothing the most." Ban Ming calmly nodded with disagreement.

The little girl groaned, sighed, and muttered some unintelligible words in her mouth, and she just scattered into a colony of ants and disappeared.

Ban Ming was dazed, and then returned to the stones on the lakeshore. The weather by the lake was still sunny and clear.

This time Ban Ming lay obediently on the shore and didn't move around anymore.

About four hours later, Ban Ming sat at the dining table as soon as he opened his eyes.

The captain stood at the door of the restaurant and smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, no one is late."

The food was already served on the dining table, and most of the people were in a trance, only the boy among the newlyweds was eating like he had been hungry for several days.

This boy is the one who the captain used to smile behind his back, and the one who was replaced by the man with glasses.

"I wish you a pleasant meal." The captain seemed to be in a good mood, and he left after saying this, his footsteps seem to be lighter than usual.

Ban Ming counted the number of people, twelve people.One of the old players is gone, and one of the newcomers is gone.

The man with glasses spoke first: "I've been staying by the lake, and I haven't entered the water or entered the woods."

With his beginning, the rest of the people said that they just stayed by the lake all the time, and Ban Ming also concealed the fact that he went into the woods.On the contrary, Qiu Tongzhou said that he went underwater, but found nothing.

In the end, only the boy among the newlyweds and lovers remained silent. He was still devoting himself to the meal and couldn't care about others at all.

The girl in the couple's couple tugged at his sleeve in fear: "Speak up."

The boy acted as if he hadn't heard it at all, and he didn't bother to shake off the girl's hand, and continued to eat with a grim expression.

Ban Ming's heart sank, this boy might be in trouble.
