After the retired judge enters the escape game

"Then what should we do now?" Jian Chen asked after being silent for a while.

"Of course I'm going to find the Babyface family."

"what?"

"I want money." Qi Wuguo said, "The loss in this store, and the customers who ran away, aren't they all caused by trouble?"

"No, that baby-faced boy's family is so cruel, what if we are eaten up by a disagreement?"

The great white shark is already a very vicious marine creature in the perception of ordinary people. This killer whale family eats a shark as if it is a game. They just come to the door to ask for money, so they will not be swallowed alive.

Qi Wuguo said: "Don't worry about this matter, killer whales have another characteristic, they are very friendly to humans."

Although they are extremely cruel to other sea creatures, killer whales are very friendly to humans.

Jian Chen still hesitated, and said, "However, the reason why these marine creatures have become tourists is unknown, and I don't know what the situation is like?"

Qi Wuguo is not a nice person either, seeing that Jian Chen was still hesitant, he got up and said, "Really not going? Then the money I want to get back will be considered my performance."

After finishing speaking, he and Duan Li walked out the door directly.

The baby-faced boy's family is very recognizable, and he just said that he would go to the beach to grill fish liver, so he should still be on the beach.

Qi Wuguo's conjecture was indeed correct, as soon as he turned the path and stepped onto the beach on the west bank, he saw a family sitting cross-legged on the beach in a daze from afar.

Far away from them, there is a barbecue grill, and the NPC employees are busy with something.

Qi Wuguo walked over with a smile, and sat down next to the baby-faced boy whose eyes were about to drool.

Sure enough, the baby-faced boy glanced at Qi Wuguo, without any angry expression on his face, but asked, "What's the matter?"

He paused, looked at the barbecue pit in the distance, and said, "There are too few fish livers, not enough. Other than this, everything is negotiable."

Qi Wuguo knew that the young man was actually very picky about his recipes, so he wasn't prepared to take advantage of others.

He directly explained the purpose of his visit: "This distinguished guest, you just came out of the restaurant on Fengsu Street, right?"

The boy nodded: "That's right, I hunted and killed this fish liver there."

After finishing speaking, he sniffed, as if smelling the aroma of grilled cod liver wafting in the air.

The young woman sitting next to the boy glanced at him and said, "Look at your talent."

However, Qi Wuguo clearly saw the young woman's throat move after she finished speaking, obviously swallowing.

"I'm friends with the owner of the restaurant. We went fishing yesterday and when we came back, we found that everything in the restaurant had been smashed."

The boy looked over with rounded eyes and asked, "There are fish, what kind of fish are there?"

"..." Qi Wuguo felt that the young man in front of him was full of food, so it would be better to speak up if he had something to say, "We did some calculations just now, and the loss in the store is about this amount."

Qi Wuguo directly wrote a number on the beach and said, "It's not easy to run a business, I hope you can understand."

The boy was not stupid either, he blinked and said, "Is this asking me to lose money?"

Qi Wuguo nodded, and pointed in the direction of the grill: "After all, another participant in the fight is already there, so there's no way."

With a bitter face, the boy looked at the young woman next to him: "Qian..."

The young woman rolled her eyes: "You idiot made trouble on your own, don't look at me."

The young man wanted to explain that the whole family had a share, but he swallowed the words again.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a gold chain from his pocket: "It was he who caused the trouble, use his things as compensation."

Qi Wuguo took the gold chain and took a look, and found that it was the one hanging on the chest of the tourist with the gold chain before.

With a thought in his heart, he thought of something, so he stopped entanglement, stood up and turned to leave.

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li didn't go far when they heard cheers from behind.When he looked back, it seemed that the NPC had already roasted the fish liver, and the baby-faced boy's family ran over excitedly.

"I don't know whether they are human or marine life." Qi Wuguo just felt a little ridiculous, "The act of grabbing a gold chain is very in line with the domineering character of the killer whale."

Duan Li said: "Your goal from the beginning was this gold chain?"

Qi Wuguo said: "It's a purpose, it's best to get money, and this gold chain is also a windfall."

"how?"

Qi Wuguo looked down at the patterns on the gold chain carefully, and said, "Do you remember that I once opened the coffin and drew all the recognizable items inside?"

Duan Li said: "Is this what's inside?"

"Maybe." Qi Wuguo said, "To be specific, just go back and get the sketchbook back and check it."

In the restaurant before, Qi Wuguo's conjectures were not complete, some things only he and Duan Li knew.

The tourists on and off the cruise ship are indeed changed by marine life, but things are not that simple.

The principle of Ghost Space will not change, this is an escape game based on ghosts.And Duan Li said that creatures like demons have not appeared for a long time.

The source of these strange tourists is inseparable from the devouring fish seen in the reef belt and the ghost ship.

It's just that everything is just speculation, and more factual evidence is needed.

The gold chain obtained from the baby-faced boy was a strong clue.

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li didn't delay any longer, and walked directly towards the cemetery.

When the two of them passed the funeral street, Duan Li stopped.

He glanced in that direction and said, "Something went wrong."

Qi Wuguo looked over, the funeral street was very quiet, and the shops were all dim.

At this time, the night had already fallen, except for the dim street lamps, there was no light at all.

Qi Wuguo thought of the coffin shop owner who mysteriously disappeared before he left, and he had a guess in his mind.

"Go and have a look."

Duan Li was about to step over, but he heard Qi Wuguo say in a low voice: "Be careful, I don't know what's inside."

After finishing speaking, he unceremoniously hid behind Duan Li.

"You're welcome." Duan Li hooked the corners of his lips, not angry at being used as a shield.

The two of them walked lightly into the dark alley, and the wreath shop was the closest to the outside.

The store door was ajar, just like the coffin shop that day.

Duan Li turned sideways, put Qi Wu behind him, and then pushed open the wooden door.

Under the erosion of the sea wind, the wooden door, which had become somewhat dilapidated, opened to one side, making a "squeak -" sound.

"There's nothing inside." Duan Li said.

Hearing this sentence, Qi Wuguo walked out without asking any more questions.He believed in Duan Li, and believed in the other party's animal-like intuition about the crisis.

So, no need to ask.

Qi Wuguo raised his foot and walked in. Since there was no one there, there was no need to be shy.

Qi Wuguo fumbled on the wall for a while, then turned on the lights in the wreath shop.

This store is very dilapidated, perhaps because the business is not good and there is no money to repair it. There is only one incandescent lamp with a low wattage on the ceiling.

The lamps were covered with dust, which made the whole shop even more dim.

On the ground there is a shadow of teeth and claws, which should be left by the dust on the light bulb.

Qi Wuguo frowned, looking at the shadow.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over, and the store door was slammed shut.

Switching to other players, probably at this time, there will be an uncontrollable sense of fear in my heart.

Qi Wuguo just frowned and looked at the shadow on the ground.

It turned out that under the cover of the flailing shadow, there was a water stain, the same water stain as on the coffin shop before.

Duan Li turned around and pushed the door, then said: "The door is locked."

The two looked at each other, and their expressions didn't change much.It's just that the door is locked, what a big deal.

Just kick it away. If you can't kick it away, just kill the mischievous things in the house.

Thinking of this, Qi Wuguo continued to collect clues without any psychological burden, completely unaware that his thoughts had been assimilated by Duan Li in some directions.

The water stains on the ground are still not pure water stains.

Sticky, with a strong dead air.

Qi Wuguo got up and walked around the small shop.

This is a wreath shop, the main business is not just wreaths.

Except for the wreath placed by the door, there are some paper offerings inside.

Qi Wuguo looked all the way over and said, "Under Mr. Qian's careful training, the craftsmanship of these local residents is not bad. At least these paper flowers and paper villas still look good."

Duan Li said: "Burning these things is just for peace of mind."

Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly said: "It's too late to say that. After all, some ghosts are stranded in Fengdu City, and it still needs some expenses."

Duan Li looked over and asked, "How do you know?"

"Ah?" Qi Wuguo just subconsciously said what he said just now, and it was strange that he was so sure when Duan Li asked him back.

He was silent for a moment, and said, "To be honest, I also have some doubts."

Duan Li waited for Qi Wuguo to confess, although the other party did not take off the earrings at the moment, maybe this time is the best time to talk.

"I wonder if the Mengpo soup that I drank back then was mixed with water, that's why I always say such words out of nowhere."

"..."

Duan Li turned around and walked forward.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Duan Li didn't answer, just said: "Water stains."

Qi Wuguo looked down and found that the pool of water stains indeed had scratches in this direction, as if some kind of creature dragged wet things past here.

Walking all the way in, in the innermost place, there is a row of paper figurines on display.

These paper figurines are also a tradition of the Hua Kingdom, used to serve the ancestors underground.

Qi Wuguo looked at them one by one, and said, "The handicraft of these paper figurines is not bad, and the faces are quite beautiful."

When he saw the innermost one, he stopped, and said with some doubts: "Here, it is still popular to hire international friends?"

The paper figurine placed in the innermost place had the same clothes as the paper figurines in front, but its face was painted very black.

No matter how exquisite the paper figurine is, the face will always have a rough and wooden feeling due to limited materials.

When the paper man is added, it is almost a one-to-one copy of the normal body shape, which will give the paper man a natural sense of terror.

Very similar to a real person, but not a living person.

The paper figurine in front of me is even more absurd, wearing the traditional servant costume of paper figurines, but for some reason the face is painted pure black with ink, and the lips are expressed in bright red, which looks extremely uncomfortable.

Duan Li walked over, took a look, and said, "Perhaps he is doing as the Romans do."

Qi Wuguo rubbed his chin, but said: "No, when I came to the store before, there was no such paper figurine."

His memory is very good, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be completely unimpressed with things that destroy the beauty.

Qi Wuguo had never seen this strange black paper figure during the previous two visits.

At this moment, the incandescent lamp above his head shook violently again.
