After the retired judge enters the escape game

There are street lights installed along the trails in the village, but no one maintains them, and they are almost broken.The few lights that are still working tenaciously are not bright enough, and they can only show their existence in the darkness.

Qi Wuguo took out the flashlight from his bag, turned on the live broadcast, and then walked along the path.

This is a typical village with a mixture of old and new. There are many small two-story buildings built along the road, but there are old houses that have not been demolished beside them.In some places, there is such a particularity that old houses cannot be demolished casually, which is unlucky.

Qi Wuguo has traveled to many places in the real world, and he has seen such traditions in remote villages.

When the old man is still there, the old house cannot be demolished.Within ten years of the old man's death, the old house cannot be demolished.

The reason is simple, the elderly are nostalgic for the past and are used to living in familiar places.This is true both while alive and after death.

Most of the lights on the second floor of the two-story building are still on, and the Internet is now developed. Even at this point, many young people in the village are still awake.

The old house was basically pitch-black, and I don't know if it was because no one lived there or because the people who lived in it had fallen asleep.

In this kind of village, it is very quiet.Except for the buzzing of insects that rang through the ears, there was almost no other sound.

Qi Wuguo's voice was very low, and the audience in the live broadcast room expressed their understanding. Anyway, what everyone wants to watch is excitement.

The adventure without speaking has a special flavor.

The excitement of the audience can be seen from the response in the live broadcast room, and the local tyrants who love the supernatural adventure stream even exploded a few fireworks to express their appreciation.

The footsteps of Qi Wuguo and Duan Li suddenly stopped.

The previous situation is a bit different, it is still the configuration of an old house next to a new house.

It's just that the new house is dark and there are no lights.

The old house has extremely dim lights beating, which are not like electric lights, but more like kerosene lamps that were commonly used in the countryside a long time ago.

At this moment, Qi Wuguo seemed to be completely immersed in the role of anchor.He held up his phone to point it in that direction, and then explained the situation in front of him.

Those audiences who were looking for excitement naturally strongly urged him to go to the front to have a look.

The old house has only one floor. It is a traditional building made of adobe bricks, and the roof is still covered with tiles.

The door of the house is made of wood, and the windows are also traditional wooden lattice windows, pasted with white paper.The white paper has been dyed yellow after years of ravages, and hangs in tatters on the panes.

The window was not too high, Qi Wuguo walked over lightly, and looked inside through the tattered paper window.

The room was very dark, with a square wooden table in the center, and an oil lamp lit on the table.

The only source of light was the beating oil lamp, which seemed to be a dining table.

Qi Wuguo could tell from the bowls and chopsticks on the table that the family was still eating, it was a bit strange that they were still eating at this point.

However, the strangest thing is not the time of meal, but the people sitting around the table.

Those few were not human at all.

The faint flame of the kerosene lamp cast dancing light and shadows on the faces of these "people", even under this dim light, Qi Wuguo could clearly see that something was wrong with those people.

On the pale face, there are casually drawn eyebrows and eyes, and there is a bloody mouth, which looks weird and permeating.

These scarecrows wear the same paper masks, like the shopkeepers at the entrance of the village, with rough facial features painted on the masks.

It's just that the clothes on them are different, which seems to express the different identities they play at home.

The scarecrows just sat upright in front of the dining table, motionless.The bowls and chopsticks on the dining table are real, and the whole scene really makes people feel chills down their spines.

Qi Wuguo frowned, took a few steps back, and then said in a low voice to the phone: "Everyone, don't look at this weird scene, it's actually a local custom in our area to pay homage to ancestors... ..."

Qi Wuguo fooled the audience in the live broadcast room with a few words, and then turned off the live broadcast with an excuse that the phone was out of battery.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Duan Li looking at him with a strange look.

Qi Wuguo asked: "What's wrong?"

Duan Li was silent for a moment, and said: "I just think that what you said just now sounds quite reasonable."

Qi Wuguo said: "I can't help it. I can't scare the kids in the live broadcast room. If the live broadcast room is blocked for spreading feudal superstition, wouldn't I want the character to fail the mission and not be able to pass the level?"

Duan Li was a little dumbfounded, he found that Qi Wuguo's brain circuit was indeed a little different from that of ordinary people, in this kind of escape game rampant with ghosts, this person's life was no different from ordinary life.

Qi Wuguo didn't notice what Duan Li was thinking, so he stepped forward and said, "I have an idea to prove."

"You mean about Jiang Lihui?"

Qi Wuguo patted Duan Li on the shoulder: "I have a good heart, I hope it's not what I guessed."

Jiang Lihui once said that the place where she lives is in a small three-story building at the end of the village.

This place is easy to find. There are not many houses on the edge of the village, and there is only one three-story building.

Jiang Lihui's home is a bit different from other places in the village, as there is no old house next to her home.The house is surrounded by walls and is well maintained. It looks more glamorous than the villagers' houses next to it.

Qi Wuguo walked to the door, pushed it lightly, and it was unlocked as expected.

After all, this is not the real world. In order to advance the main plot in the game world, many settings are convenient for players to explore.

"It seems that the things in this village are indeed related to the main thread."

Duan Li was silent, his shoulders tensed slightly, and his hands were already in his pockets.

Qi Wuguo knew that this was a sign of vigilance, and in this weird village, he entered a place related to the main storyline of the game.Waiting for them ahead, they still don't know what kind of scene it will be.

The door of the three-story building was also closed, and Qi Wuguo put his hand on it. The door seemed to be unsealed, and slowly opened towards both sides.

The first floor is the living room, which looks like a typical modern decoration, with sofas and TVs.

On the side of the living room is the master's bedroom.

Qi Wuguo didn't go into the bedroom, but stayed in front of the incense table next to him.

In many places, it is customary to hang photos of ancestors at home and offer incense before meals every day, and this place seems to have the same custom.

The photo hanging above is of an old couple, who should be the deceased elders of the owner.This was a very ordinary photo, but Qi Wuguo looked at it with a frown, feeling something was wrong.

He is very sensitive to human facial features and bone structure. The photos of men hanging on the wall should be taken when they were around 70 or [-] years old.The old man's hair was completely white, his eyes were cloudy, and the wrinkles on his face were as deep as a field that hadn't seen rain in months.

"What are you looking at?" Duan Li asked in a low voice.

Qi Wuguo said: "This man looks very similar to the middle-aged man who gets on the train at the first stop after passing through the tunnel every night."

In fact, if there is a blood relationship, it is not too strange to look alike.

Qi Wuguo turned and walked towards the bedroom. The door of the bedroom was ajar, but it was more active than the door.Before he even reached out to push the door, it slowly opened.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a bed and a wardrobe.

Other than that, there are no other extra decorations.

There was someone lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, who seemed to be sleeping.

Logically speaking, the two people who broke in rashly should close the door softly and leave with a guilty conscience.However, Qi Wuguo stepped forward and saw clearly the person on the bed with the light of the phone screen.

Sure enough, as he thought in his heart, the one lying on the bed was a scarecrow.

From the moment Qi Wuguo stepped into this house, his intuition told him that there might not be a single living person in the entire village at this point in time.

The paper mask on the scarecrow's face is the same as the ones in the small shop at the entrance of the village or in the old house. They are all fuzzy and randomly drawn facial features.The scarecrow's identity could not be distinguished from this appearance.

Qi Wuguo thought for a while, and directly lifted the quilt from the scarecrow.The clothes on the scarecrow were very familiar, and they were exactly the ones Jiang Lihui saw on the bus at night.

"It really is Jiang Lihui." Qi Wuguo said.

Now that things have come to this point, they don't need to talk like they did at the beginning, lowering their voices for fear of being heard.

Duan Li took a closer look and said, "This thing is really strange, it's just a simple scarecrow, it looks quite clean."

Qi Wuguo said: "It seems that Jiang Lihui probably died on the first day, who is that person we got along with after that?"

Duan Li said: "It's still her, maybe she doesn't even know she's dead."

Qi Wuguo raised his hand and covered the quilt again, and then he and Duan Li left Jiang Lihui's house.

The situation is still unclear now, what is going on in this weird village, and what is the relationship with the main line of the game is also unclear.

Qi Wuguo said: "Looks like we have to find a chance to come and have a look tomorrow morning."

When the two returned to the Jiangxin Island villa area, it was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night.After all, the previous trip was the last train, so if you want to go back, you can only walk back with your legs.

For Qi Wuguo who pays much attention to sleep, this is simply a kind of torture.

After finally arriving at the destination, when Qi Wuguo entered the room, he felt that he was about to float up.

When he was about to go back to his room and fall asleep, he was pulled by Duan Li.

Qi Wuguo turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Duan Li said: "Sleep on my side, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?"

Qi Wuguo scratched his hair, thinking what the other party said made sense.Although he slept well, the voice last night would probably wake him up even if he died on the bed.

If this is the case tonight, if he wakes him up in the middle of the night, he will probably lose his mind and go straight to the third floor to have a fight with the unknown creatures above.

A night without dreams.
