Nothing unusual happened during the first half of the night's vigil.

After the man-eating ghost came once, it left. The yard was quiet and there was no more movement.

At four o'clock in the morning, Chen Mu woke up the man with glasses, and it was his turn to keep watch.

Chen Mu took a quick rest and fell asleep immediately.

The dawn in the countryside is earlier. Villagers get up at five or six in the morning to do farm work.

Chen Mu slept until seven o'clock and was woken up by the man with glasses.

"Brother Chen, it's time to get up."

During the vigil last night, the two had a brief exchange and knew each other's name.

The man with glasses is called Zhang Shu, a relatively simple college student. Chen Mu was able to tell his character with just two sentences and knew that he was quite reliable.

Therefore, when I go to bed at night, I dare to turn my butt towards the book.

Chen Mu rubbed his eyes and asked the first question: "Did anything happen in the second half of the night?"

Zhang Shu shook his head, "Brother Chen, don't worry, there is no movement in the yard."

Hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The man-eating ghost scared everyone on the first night, but fortunately the man-eating ghost did not attack, and it was a Christmas Eve.

Chen Mu and his companion pushed open the door, and several other players also got up at that moment.

Everyone gathered in the yard and prepared to go to the village chief's house for breakfast.

According to the village chief, he will provide meals to the players during these five days.

While eating breakfast, I could ask the village chief about the cannibal's possible identity, or about the families who had weddings and funerals in the village in recent years.

The old man in the woodshed got up at around five o'clock. Old people couldn't sleep in the morning, so they would get up early.

By the time the players got up, the old man had already chopped a lot of firewood and piled it against the wall, working enthusiastically.

When he saw the players coming into the yard, the old man greeted them with a "Hey yo" and then went back to his work.

The players gathered in the yard, and Jiao Chong'e began to count the number of people, acting like a leader.

When counting the number of people, the players discovered that one person was missing!

There were supposed to be seven people, but now there are only six.

The missing person was the fat man who lived alone. He hadn't come out to join the group yet, and the door was tightly closed, with no movement from inside.

"Did he oversleep?" Jiao Chong'e shrugged. "It's normal for someone to not wake up when he's sleeping alone and doesn't have an alarm clock. Who's going to wake him up?"

"I'll go."

The man with glasses, Zhang Shu, didn't think much and walked towards the fat man's room.

Chen Mu frowned slightly, his intuition told him that something seemed to be wrong.

In order to get first-hand information, Chen Mu also volunteered, "Zhang Shu, wait for me, I'll go with you."

Hearing that Brother Chen was accompanying him, Zhang Shu couldn't help but feel moved.

In strange missions, those who are willing to accompany you are already considered to be good people with a good conscience.

Brother Chen was not only willing to accompany me, but also took the initiative to take on the most dangerous first half of the night when we were on guard last night.

Brother Chen is so righteous!

But Zhang Shu didn't notice that Chen Mu deliberately lagged half a body length behind him when walking.

In this way, if something happens, Chen Mu can run away calmly.

The two came to the door of the fat man's room, and Zhang Shu reached out and knocked on the door, "Knock, knock, knock!"

"Boom boom boom!"

I knocked twice in succession, but there was no movement from inside.

"Dude, are you there? Time to get up and have breakfast."

Zhang Shu shouted into the room.

After waiting for a few seconds, there was still no movement in the room.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition came to my mind.

Jiao Chong'e also noticed the abnormality on Zhang Shu's side. He led a few players and walked over here quickly.

Zhang Shu was still knocking on the door and shouting, but Chen Mu had already come to the window.

The fat man's paper window was also poked with a hole by the cannibal.

Looking inside the hole, you can see the scene in the room.

Chen Mu looked inside, and he was prepared for the room to be filled with blood.

However, the room was silent.

The two beds were placed side by side, the same layout as Chen Mu's room.

The bedding on one of the beds showed obvious signs of having been moved; that was the bed where the fat man slept.

There was no one on the bed at this time, only messy bedding.

As for other places in the room, everything was calm as usual and there was no sign of the fat man.

Chen Mu even raised his eyes and looked at the roof, but there was no fat man's body hanging there.

The fat man just disappeared in the room!

At this time, Jiao Chong'e and others also rushed over, and Chen Mu told them about the situation in the room.

After hearing this, Jiao Chong'e immediately lay down and looked into the room through the palm-sized gap under the wooden door.

From this perspective, you can see what's going on under the bed.

However, there was nothing under the two beds, no human figures or bodies.

At this moment, all six players present were stunned.

Chen Mu pushed the door, but it was locked from the inside and could not be easily opened from the outside.

The door was locked from the inside, and there were no signs of damage anywhere else in the room, making it a perfect secret room.

But...why did the fat man disappear?

You can’t see people alive, you can’t see corpses even if you’re dead!

Jiao Chong'e looked at everyone and asked, "Did anyone hear the sound of the door opening last night?"

The yard was very quiet at night, and the wooden door of the room would creak if touched.

If the fat man's door was ever opened, the whole yard would have heard it.

Chen Mu didn't hear it, and Zhang Shu didn't hear it either.

The other players all shook their heads.

The groups of people didn't know each other, so there was no possibility of conspiracy and deception. So last night, the fat man's door was not opened at all.

Zhang Shu scratched his head, his tone half surprised and half frightened, "This man, the secret room disappeared?"

The boy in the couple suddenly said, "What do you think? Could it be a cannibal ghost that slipped in through the crack in the door and killed the fat guy?"

After thinking about it, Chen Mu shook his head and rejected this guess, "It's unlikely. We have all seen the man-eating ghost, and it was in human form.

The gap in the door is so small that the man-eating ghost can't possibly get in.

And an important point is, after the cannibal ghost killed the fat man, what did he do with the body?

It is impossible that the body also disappeared. Even if the fat man died, his body had to be taken out of the room, so that 'no one can see the person alive, and no one can see the body dead'."

There is some truth in what Chen Mu said. Even if the man-eating ghost ate the fat man, it would have to consider how to leave. It couldn't just turn into smoke and float away.

That way, the Man-Eater Ghost wouldn't have to poke a hole in the window to check what was going on in the room.

Obviously, judging from the man-eating ghost's performance last night, the man-eating ghost also has to obey certain physical laws and cannot pass through walls or teleport.

For a while, the disappearance of the fat man in the secret room became a mystery that troubled everyone.

Suddenly, Jiao Chonge thought of something, and he said, "I have an idea, maybe... Fatty hasn't left the room yet, he's still in the room."

Everyone was a little confused. There was clearly no fat man in the room. They had looked everywhere they should have, including under the bed through the crack in the door. How could the fat man be in the room? Where else could he be hiding?

The moment Jiao Chong'e said this, Chen Mu understood what Jiao Chong'e meant.

"The fat man may still be in the room." Chen Mu said.
