After the retired judge enters the escape game

A word awakened the dreamer, and Qi Wuguo found that he had fallen into a predicament of thinking before, completely separating the player from the NPC.

But in this game, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Donkey friends come here in the name of atonement, but they are actually being assimilated by Paradise Village.

From this point of view, the boundary between NPCs and players is not so obvious.

The seventh person is eleven.

Thinking of this, Qi Wuguo frowned again, and said: "But this is just a conjecture, and evidence is still needed. After all, deciphering the game requires evidence to support it, but there is nothing in Eleven's room."

Eleven lives in the staff dormitory on the first floor. Those dormitories are so clean that they don't seem to be occupied by people. They have necessary furniture for going out without any personal items, let alone clues related to Eleven's background.

Duan Li said: "After Xiao Li dies, her luggage will not appear out of thin air."

Although this sentence is simple, it contains a lot of information.

Paradise Village looks a little unusual, but the basic rules still have to be followed. If the personal belongings of employees are not in their own rooms, they always need to be kept somewhere.

Eleven is just an ordinary person at this stage, it is impossible for him to conjure a suitcase out of thin air.

Qi Wuguo's eyes lit up, and he said: "That's the reason. After Xiao Li's death, Eleven immediately took out her suitcase and buried it. From the perspective of time, the only place to hide things is a hotel. inside."

Thinking of this, Qi Wuguo didn't even care about the cleaning tools in his hand, he leaned against the wall and went downstairs in a few steps.

As for the task of cleaning, we will talk about it later. If we miss this excellent opportunity to confirm the main line of the game, it will be a big deal.

The reason why Qi Wuguo was so anxious was very simple. According to the trajectory of his actions on the previous day's [-]th, he would most likely open the place where the staff's luggage was hidden later.

Xiao Li's body was found in the bathroom yesterday morning. Eleven and other employees removed the body and put it in the back kitchen for disposal.

Xiao Deng, the kitchen staff alone, could not quickly dispose of the corpse. Xiao Xu is a woman and lacks strength, so only Eleven can help.

After Qi Wuguo finished cleaning the first floor, he discovered that Eleven had buried suitcases under the wooden platform, and then drove a tractor to transport the processed corpses to the village.

Judging from the time, it should be just right to find a place to hide on the first floor now.

After Qi Wuguo went down to the lobby on the first floor, he went straight to the back kitchen.

Before reaching the door of the back kitchen, he heard the sound of chopping things coming from inside.

From the sound, there was more than one knife, and Shi Yi was indeed in the kitchen.

Qi Wuguo turned around and walked away. After entering the lobby, he saw Duan Li standing at the counter at the front desk waving.

Just now, the two of them split into two groups tacitly. Qi Wu went to the back kitchen to check and confirm Eleven's movements, while Duan Li was looking for a secluded place in the lobby with a good view to observe the entire first floor.

Although this homestay is quite small, it has managed to create a small front desk. Xiao Xu was originally responsible for the front desk.

Now that Xiao Xu is gone, the front desk is empty.

It's just that the counter in front of me is really small, which fits the exquisite size of the hotel, but it's a bit difficult for two big men in the fortress.

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li are both tall and long-legged. If they want to hide under the counter perfectly, they have to consider their posture and position.

Qi Wuguo pulled Duan Li and bowed into the counter, first he chose to sit opposite to each other, but found that their legs almost had nowhere to rest, it was awkward no matter how entangled they looked.

The space is too narrow, and the entire counter will be overturned if one fails.

Qi Wuguo tried for a long time, and said: "This is not good, the length is not enough, and there is still some room for height after sitting down."

He estimated the difference in size and weight between Duan Li and himself. Judging from Duan Li's perfect muscles, Qi Wuguo knew very well that he would not be able to bear it if the other party was half-sat on his lap.

Qi Wuguo said, "You don't mind if I sit on your lap?"

"do not mind."

So, after some difficult adjustments, Duan Li bent his long legs and sat on the counter, while Qi Wuguo half leaned on Duan Li's lap in a kneeling posture.

In any case, the two of them were finally perfectly hidden inside the counter.

After everything was quiet, in this narrow and dimly lit space, the only thing that could be heard was each other's breathing.

The atmosphere became inexplicably strange, a little awkward and a little ambiguous.

Qi Wuguo, who has always been very nervous, dared not look directly at Duan Li's face for no reason.

His eyes wandered, and then landed on the counter on the right.

The design of this counter is very ingenious, there is a hollow carving on the counter.The hollowed-out part is covered with a mirror, and only one's own image can be seen from the outside.

From the inside of the counter, you can see the outside scene through the mirror, and the view is excellent, and the entire lobby can be included in the eyes.

It was still very quiet outside, and the atmosphere inside the counter became more ambiguous and awkward.

Qi Wuguo only thought that he should say something to break the current weird atmosphere.

He leaned close to Duan Li's ear and said in a low voice: "Look, this is really a plot point set by the game. If it is decorated normally, how can you use a one-way mirror in such a place? Did you just observe this one-way mirror?" Jing suggested hiding here."

Duan Li was silent for a moment, and then said: "I never thought of going to the counter."

"..."

Qi Wuguo thought about it again, with Duan Li's character, it is really unlikely that he would think of drilling the counter in the first place.

He touched his nose and felt that he seemed to have made a mistake.

"Then what was your original plan?"

"Hide behind the counter and pull those large pots of green plants over to block it."

Only then did Qi Wuguo realize that he seemed to have complicated the problem. Eleven was in a hurry to dispose of the corpse and luggage, so he wouldn't pay too much attention to the changes in the lobby.

Qi Wuguo smiled awkwardly and said, "Then let's go out, it's too crowded inside."

After speaking, he moved his body and wanted to climb out of the counter.

It's just that Qi Wuguo and Duan Li are almost entangled with hands and feet, and it takes a little effort to get out. After Qi Wuguo moved for a long time, before he could get out, Duan Li grabbed his waist.

"That's it, don't move."

Duan Li's voice was a little low, and his tone was even a little blunt.

Qi Wuguo also noticed from the place where he was in contact with the other party that Duan Li's thigh muscles were a little tense.

He was about to say something when he heard some movement from the back kitchen.

Qi Wuguo stopped all his movements, and Duan Li didn't let go of his hand, just grabbed his waist like that.

Both of them held their breath and looked out from the hollowed-out pattern attached to the one-way mirror.

Eleven appeared in the lobby wearing an apron.

The apron is the kind often worn by fish sellers. It is made of rubber and is waterproof and oil-resistant.

The eleventh defense should not be oil stains. From the suspicious brown stains splashed on his apron, it can be seen that they are traces left when dealing with Xiao Xu, maybe Xiao Li, and maybe other former employees.

Eleven walked through the lobby and stopped under the stairs leading to the second floor.

The stairs are made of all wood, which is very suitable for the style of the homestay.

Qi Wuguo watched him pick at the seam under the stairs for a while, and then removed the whole board, revealing a dark space.

Immediately, Eleven walked in and installed the board from the outside.

After a while, the wooden board was opened again, and Eleven carried a suitcase and walked towards the door leading to the wooden platform.

After a while, after there was no movement in the lobby, Qi Wuguo and Duan Li crawled out from the counter.

Qi Wuguo secretly glanced at the direction of the wooden platform. There was no one on the platform. It seems that Eleven followed the action pattern and began to bury the suitcases below.

Xiao Deng, the back cook, would generally not appear in the lobby, and there should be follow-up work to be done on the corpse.

Now is the best opportunity.

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li went to the bottom of the stairs and searched carefully according to the direction Eleven was groping for just now.

Only a slight click was heard, and a whole piece of wood was unloaded, revealing a section of stairs behind.

Qi Wuguo said: "I didn't expect that this homestay actually has three floors."

Duan Li said: "Judging from the outside structure, this basement should not be big, you can just go down, I will watch the wind here."

Without explaining too much, Qi Wuguo knew that Duan Li was the best solution.

If both of them went down to the basement in a daze, in case Xiao Deng showed up or came back on November, they would be locked in the basement, that would be a lot of fun.

In the basement, there should only be some personal items such as suitcases.

And those who are watching the wind outside need to have the force value to deal with Eleven and Xiaodeng.

Don't think too much, the division of labor can only be like this.

Qi Wuguo nodded, bent down and was about to drill inside.

He just stepped in, but was grabbed by Duan Li.

"Call me directly if there is danger, this thing can block it for a while."

Afterwards, Qi Wuguo felt a small hard object being stuffed into his palm.

He looked down and found that it was a dark wooden sign. It was cold and warm in texture, and it didn't look ordinary.

"what is this?"

Duan Li said: "Amulet."
