Chapter 228 The old man who should not return

When Xiao Muyu heard this, there was a smile in his eyes, and he continued, "What eyebrows?"

Su Jin's Zuo Tiantian couldn't help interjecting, and the two of them complemented each other quite well.

"The knock on the door indicates the number of new homeless people appearing each time. The first knock twice corresponds to two people in the first night, and the second and next time means only one girl last night, and so on."

"The next thing we're going to look for is three people, then two, and one. Although it's not sure who they are, the basic direction is already there."

"Yes, and Granny Liu called her granddaughter San'er. According to inference, this girl is the third one. Is there anyone called Si'er or Wu'er?"

Xiao Muyu and Shen Qingqiu wanted to laugh when they heard it, and Chen Kaijie was also happy to sit in the room, but I have to say that what they two said made sense.

"Let's go back first. I think there are a lot of details here for Granny Liu to analyze. Let's go through it carefully, and maybe the situation will be completely different."

Xiao Muyu felt that there were more things to think about than knowing the information about the nine old people who should not have returned.

"Well, go back first." Shen Qingqiu glanced around, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people, they had to leave quickly, otherwise they would attract attention.

When Xiao Muyu and Shen Qingqiu returned to the room, she took a look at the cups as soon as they entered the door. Five cups were neatly placed on the table, but because of the angle, at a glance, there were only four.

Just such an ordinary scene suddenly provoked Xiao Muyu's nerves, so the original movement of raising his foot to enter the door also froze in place.

Shen Qingqiu was originally walking side by side with her, but found himself entering the door, but Xiao Muyu maintained the movement of stepping into the door with his right foot, and stood there in a daze.

She immediately realized that Xiao Muyu had discovered something, so she didn't bother, but followed Xiao Muyu's eyes, she was looking at the cup.

Shen Qingqiu couldn't help frowning, and his thoughts immediately went back to the cup he saw at Grandma Liu's house, did Xiao Muyu think of that?But what's so special about it?

Over there, Xiao Muyu had recovered, she lifted her feet and walked in quickly, took Shen Qingqiu's hand, and pulled her to sit at the table together.

"Qingqiu, you said before that you went to see every household and learned that their number matches the cups, right?" Xiao Muyu said anxiously.

Shen Qingqiu nodded, "Yes, except for the absence of the person, they are basically the same, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"How did you see the number of cups?"

Shen Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, recalled it for a while, and then said: "Mostly I saw it at the door. If the door is closed, you can only see it from the window."

After speaking, she guessed what Xiao Muyu was thinking, and said seriously: "When I looked at it, those cups were not arranged in a circle, but basically placed in random places, and you can see every cup."

"If you have seen each one, then there will be no omissions or mistakes." Xiao Muyu murmured.

"Captain Xiao, do you think there is something wrong with the cup?" Zuo Tiantian couldn't help asking when she heard Xiao Muyu kept asking about the cup.

"You said, is there a problem with the cups corresponding to the people who shouldn't have returned?" Xiao Muyu suddenly raised this question.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Kaijie and the others were a little stunned, and then recalled them in their minds, only to find that they hadn't even looked at any of the cups in their entirety.

"It seems that we have basically never entered a villager's house, how about you, deputy team?" Chen Kaijie asked immediately.

Shen Qingqiu began to recall, "I went into Yao's youngest's house. At that time, I glanced at the table. There were five cups, nothing special."

"There is also the godly mother-in-law. There is only one cup but I can only see a little bit. There is also the house of the two girls on the first night. We only saw the inside of the room through the hole in the tile, but did not see the cup on the table. , when the two girls disappeared, so did the family."

After Shen Qingqiu finished speaking, several people reached a conclusion unanimously, no one had seen the cup in the suspect's home in its entirety.

"Then Team Xiao, don't we have the best test object right now? Where's the cup from Grandma Liu's house?" Zuo Tiantian said excitedly thinking of Grandma Liu.

Shen Qingqiu and Xiao Muyu looked at each other very tacitly, they both saw the mug of Granny Liu's house, if the mug represents a person, can an old person who shouldn't return be counted as a person?

There are indeed two cups in Grandma Liu's house, but those two cups are hidden behind the pile of things. Are there really two cups?

"I just walked in and saw that there were only four of our cups. I suddenly felt that the cup was wrong. Since I can see one less, it means that sometimes what the eyes see is not necessarily trustworthy. I just feel that the two cups are wrong."

This idea came very strangely, as if a certain memory was suddenly touched, and a scene appeared in her mind, which she urgently needed to verify.

Shen Qingqiu looked at Xiao Muyu's dazed and troubled look, and reached out to hold her hand, "Did you think of something?"

Xiao Muyu nodded and shook his head again, "I don't know if this scene is really in my memory, or I just imagined it out of thin air."

Whenever this system said some specious things through other people's mouths, she couldn't help thinking about some past events, thinking of those things that might have happened between her and Shen Qingqiu, and often sporadic memories would emerge .

"It doesn't matter, no matter what it is, your idea is not wrong, the importance of the cup is self-evident, and it is also true that we have not seen the cup in its entirety.

So, let's look again, and if, as you said, there are clues on the cup, the problem will be solved.If not, we also ruled out this possibility. "

Shen Qingqiu's gentle and patient words dissipated the hesitation and anxiety in Xiao Muyu's heart a lot. She nodded and frowned and said, "But the invisibility cloak has already been reset, so it is difficult for us to go in again."

Shen Qingqiu thought about it for a while, and said: "No hurry, I'll see if there's a chance to sneak in, if it's really not possible, when the cooling time is up, I'll step on my left foot and step on my right foot to have a look, then I'll know."

"That's the only way to go." Putting this question on hold for now, Xiao Muyu recalled some of the conversations in Grandma Liu's room. After a moment of silence, she continued: "I don't know if you have noticed, but according to Grandma Liu's words, Meaning, she knows very well that San'er is an old friend who shouldn't come back, don't you think this is strange?"

There was some confusion in the eyes of Chen Kaijie and the others, and then Chen Kaijie's eyes lit up, "Yes, according to the situation in the village, except for the godly mother-in-law, the other villagers probably don't know that their family members should not be kept, and they don't even Knowing this happened, they probably thought they were just being retaliated, otherwise they would have been scared out of their wits. If they were in a hurry, they might be able to kill again. But Granny Liu not only knew, but according to her words, this old man who should not have returned is still She forced it."

Xiao Muyu was very satisfied with his reaction, "That's right, other people in the village are not surprised by patriarchy, and will never force an unwelcome girl to come back.

And Granny Liu loves her granddaughter very much between the lines. Just imagine that the child you raised with your own hands was taken out by your own son, and was eaten by jackals in the wilderness. No one can stand it.That's why she chose a certain way to get San'er back. "

After hearing this, Shen Qingqiu's eyes turned cold, "How can there be such a good thing as resurrection of the dead in this world? Granny Liu said that she paid the price, and she actually has a kind of fear for her granddaughter. It is very likely that San'er who has returned has already died. It's not what she imagined, not only killed her parents, but also harmed her."

Xiao Muyu's heart trembled again, she managed to stabilize her mood, "That's right, so I think Grandma Liu can still get some news, but right now, none of the other girls would want them to come back, maybe this San'er is very happy." Especially, possibly even the origin of everything."

"But that San'er doesn't seem to welcome us very much? We don't want to get close." Shen Qingqiu frowned.

"We still have other things to do right now, this matter can be put aside for now." Xiao Muyu just finished speaking, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Kaijie went to open the door, and it was Wan Qin and her captain who came.Xiao Muyu was not surprised, just said that and came.

"Excuse me." The tall woman had a cold look in her eyes, but her words were very polite.

Xiao Muyu didn't say much, just nodded and said: "Please come in."

The short five-word conversation between the two people is already tacit to each other.

After the woman sat down, Wan Qin stood beside her, staring at Xiao Muyu and the others with a serious expression.

"Captain Xiao should have guessed our reason for coming." The woman spoke while looking back and forth among the five people.

Xiao Muyu just looked at her and didn't answer.In this way, even though Xiao Muyu's expression was not too cold and hard, his attitude was obvious.

"Is it Miss Shen who visited us before?"

Wanqin's captain is also a formidable person, she is not angry with Xiao Muyu's attitude, she just said such a sentence in a gentle manner.

Xiao Muyu did not answer this question, but said seriously: "Your choice, have you made it?"

Although he didn't answer, he already acquiesced. It seems that Shen Qingqiu noticed it well, this woman found out that Shen Qingqiu had entered the house.

"It's done, we will cooperate with you and choose to continue to follow the normal player route."

Shen Qingqiu listened, smiled slightly, and said in a neutral way: "The choice is good, it seems that he has a thorough understanding of the old man who shouldn't come back."

Shen Qingqiu's words undoubtedly reaffirmed what she and Wan Qin were most worried about, and she felt a chill down her spine, "So you really know everything?"

"No, but it's almost the same. The dungeon tests not only the player's strength, but also the player's mind and even human nature.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to revive teammates, but in this dungeon, it is a complete scam.Those who should not have returned, who has returned in a normal form? "Xiao Muyu stopped at this point, and naturally understood everything.

"Okay, since this is the case, I will be completely frank with you, and I hope you can help us tide over this difficulty. I am grateful."

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Muyu to promise anything, and directly opened her task bar. This woman's name is Ling Xiao.

In her task bar, as Xiao Muyu guessed, there is indeed a hidden column, which says that the main task can no longer be completed, please choose an alternative.

Among alternatives [-] and [-], one is already grayed out, obviously they chose two, and one is invalid.

"We have to choose to choose to tell other teams, before that both are green and free to choose.

But there is no task details, there is a sentence in the first article, give you a wish, revive all your dead teammates, and then get a chance to pass the level. "

"And, the second is what it looks like now."

Xiao Muyu and the others looked at it, and the first column above said, "I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes and pass the level."

There is a paragraph below this column, "Here is a bad news and a good news. The bad news is that you failed the hide-and-seek mission, which made it impossible to complete the customs clearance mission.

The good news is that it doesn't matter if you fail, someone will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, and you can barely pass the level.Do you regret not choosing one?I'm sorry too, and I wish you all the best of luck. "

"We don't quite understand what it means to give us a chance to make up for our mistakes. Could it be that hide and seek can start over again." Ling Xiao looked a little gloomy.

Xiao Muyu took a deep breath, "The reason why you couldn't clear the level is because there are 9 people in the dungeon of the old friend who shouldn't have returned, and the one you didn't find right has disappeared.

Therefore, even if there are all pairs, there can only be 8.The missing 1 is your mistake, and making up for the mistake is to give you a chance to find another one, understand? "

Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and Wan Qin who was on the side quickly grabbed her hand, "I know, I know!"

"Ding, congratulations to all the seven teams in dungeon 008 for activating the customs clearance task. Next, please enjoy your own time to the fullest, let's revel."

The announcement came abruptly and strangely, and the excitement on Wanqin's face was replaced by astonishment, "What do you mean, what do you mean by enjoying your own time?"

"Please note that the target object self-destructs, the target object self-destructs, all players automatically enter the dark mode, and all players automatically enter the dark mode."

This series of announcements made a group of people dizzy, and on the control panel that Ling Xiao didn't have time to put away, 1/? , in full view, became, 2/9.

And Xiao Muyu discovered that their column also became 3/9.

No. 3's old friend who shouldn't return, took the initiative to expose himself, this...

"Fuck, does this mean the werewolf blew himself up?"

The man in Ling Xiao's team, Xiao Wu, had an incredulous expression on his face, just as he finished speaking, it was getting dark;

The author has something to say: Are you surprised or not?The Werewolf Killer actually looks like a Werewolf Killer. It is too difficult to find nine wolves with swordsmen at night.The godly mother-in-law is a crooked ass judge.

Regarding the details, everyone from Zaoshu should be able to guess, and Mu Yu and the others guessed that this girl was the head last night because there was a foreshadowing at Yita at the beginning.

①The girl also appeared quietly behind Qingqiu ②She reminded Qingqiu that there were many wolves on the mountain.

So Qingqiu's problem is to confirm this point, the jackal made a pun, satirizing the villagers' knock on the door and the proof of their names.
