The Trial Game of Life

Watching two ghosts sit against each other and play chess is a very eerie thing, especially in a cobweb and dusty attic that has been abandoned for many years.

How fresh is a fresh corpse lying on the bed in the attic?Tang Cuo ignored the gazes of the two ghosts, walked over to touch the corpse as if no one else was there, and found that the corpse was still warm.

He couldn't help but look at the man sitting across from Mochizuki again. There was no doubt that this was the one lying on the bed and the attic resident who was locked here ten years ago.

Ten years after Yu's mansion was wiped out, he returned here and died in the attic where he had been trapped for two years.Yu Mochizuki's ghost may just stand quietly by the bed and watch him die. When he dies, the ghost leaves the body, and the two ghosts sit and play chess together.

This is so weird.

When the attic resident died, his expression was still peaceful, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, and there was no obvious trauma on his body.How did he die then?He obviously left the Yu mansion alive, why did he come back?

Faced with all kinds of questions, a warrior like Tang Cuo naturally chose to ask directly.

"Who the hell are you? Why did you come back?"

The ghost looked at him with peaceful eyes, like Yu Wangyue, he had no intention of actively attacking.But all the ghosts in this Yu mansion are saw-mouthed gourds, and players can't get any clues from them.

what can we do about it?

Of course, continue to look for clues.

In the abandoned attic, two ghosts continued to play chess. They didn't need to touch the chess pieces, and the chess pieces moved automatically. In the sound of "click, click", the black and white sides killed evenly.

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng rummaged through the attic as if nothing had happened, walking back and forth, and Jin Cheng occasionally stood by the chessboard with folded arms, looked at him, and shook his head.

Qi Hui felt that this scene was even weirder than before.

At this time, Tang Cuo took out a small iron box from the drawer at the head of the bed.The iron box was newly put in, because there was no dust on the box. When the box was opened, there were two injections and an injection needle, as well as some unknown white pills and a small roll of gauze.

Tang Cuo picked up an injection and looked carefully under the light, and saw a line of English words on the bottle - Herzmon.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Jin Cheng asked.

How could Tang Cuo know? As for those small white pills, it was even more impossible to know.But these can illustrate a problem, attic occupants may die of disease.

He immediately remembered what Zhou Dahai said, that in that time and space in 1923, Yu Mochizuki was also taking medicine before his death.He found needles and medicine in the attic.

What was Yu Mochizuki's cause of death?

There was no obvious trauma on his body, and it didn't look like he was killed by a ghost. Could it be because of illness?

Tang Cuo subconsciously glanced at the two slightly similar faces, thoughtful, but he felt that he still lacked a proof.It's a pity that this proof may be with Zhou Dahai.

But in Zhou Dahai's time and space, it was already past midnight, so he couldn't go there unless it was absolutely necessary.

Back in the living room on the first floor, the phone couldn't be connected either. It was a single-line connection from 1926.

"Do you doubt that they are brothers?" Jin Cheng asked.

"They were all taking medicine before they died, and they look alike. They are brothers and have a high probability of suffering from a family genetic disease." Tang Cuo walked into the kitchen while talking, "For example, illegitimate children."

It makes sense for an unpopular illegitimate child to be locked up in the attic, but Jin Cheng still did not give up on the guess of a "substitute" because his intuition has always been accurate.

The moment he walked into the kitchen, Jin Cheng caught a glimpse of Yu Wangnian's ghost appearing at the stairs from the corner of his eye. He looked up at the direction of the second floor, but did not go up.

Yu Wangnian's ghost doesn't appear often, and his behavior is cause for concern.

"Do you think he doesn't want to go up, or can't go up?" Jin Cheng simply leaned against the doorway, watching the play with folded arms.

"There is a lady on the second floor." Tang Cuo also came out to take a look.Based on Lin Wan's hatred for Wangnian, combined with the current situation, it is exactly what the sentence said, so that life and death will never meet again.

Yu Wangnian listened to Lin Wan's sobs from the second floor every day, looked at the second floor but couldn't go up, how would he feel?

The younger brothers are still free to play chess in the attic.

The appearance of Yu Wangnian also caused commotion among the other ghosts on the first floor. These little ghosts didn't seem to be very clear-sighted, probably because they would lose their memory after being ghosts for a long time, and gradually become confused.But it didn't take long, when they recognized Wanghou, the shrill screams shook the dust off the ceiling.

The two female ghosts, the maid and the servant girl, had red eyes, and they rushed towards Yu Wangnian at the top of the stairs, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

Jin Cheng raised his hand to protect Tang Cuo's mouth, and the butler also appeared, loyally protecting Yu Wangnian again.

Yu Wangnian didn't move, he was still looking in the direction of the second floor, indifferent to everything around him.But the second floor was pitch black, except for the occasional sobs, nothing could be seen.

Qi Hui has already retreated into the kitchen, only poking his head out to watch the play - he has only heard of live people acting for ghosts, but he never thought that one day he would be able to see the love and hatred of ghosts.

"Ahhh——" The maid opened her bloody mouth, grabbed the butler's hair, and bit him on the shoulder frantically.It can be seen that people who didn't know how to fight in life, even if they become ghosts, they can only do a few tricks.

The butler was full of anger, and was about to break free, but a hairpin was inserted into the back of the head by the maid.

Ghosts have no blood and no entity. The fighting between illusion and illusion is deprived of the vivid colors that belong to the world, and the whole picture is weird and gloomy.

Their bodies were constantly twisting during the fight, and the sharp roars and ghost cries made the dust on the first floor tremble, and the few remaining electric lights were constantly flickering, and they would explode at some point.

Qi Hui felt a tingling pain in his head, and goosebumps appeared on his arms. At this moment, Yu Wangnian finally turned around and drifted silently to the basement.

After his figure disappeared into the closet, the fighting here finally subsided.The eyes of the maid and the servant girl gradually returned to blankness, and then continued to wander aimlessly in their respective areas according to the previous trajectory.The butler sat on the ground a little tired, his arm was almost broken, and the hairpin was still stuck in the back of his head, and his whole body was injured.

So far, the distribution of ghosts in the basement, first floor, second floor, and attic has been completely clear.

"This family is really interesting." Jin Cheng commented.

At this time, only one light was left on in the living room on the first floor, and the door of the living room was closed tightly, blocking the moonlight outside the house, making Yu's mansion look more like a cage.

Jin Cheng looked back at Tang Cuo.Under the dim light, Tang Cuo's eyes are the brightest existence in this chaotic space, and people can't help but study carefully, and then sink deeper and deeper.

Tang Cuo didn't know what he was staring at him again, he could see something tricky.

"Where's your glazed lamp?" He asked.

"Here." Jin Cheng came back to his senses, took out the glazed lamp and lit it, and then Tang Cuo asked, "What were you looking at just now?"

Jin Cheng was slightly startled, then smiled and lifted the glazed lamp to illuminate Tang Cuo's face, took a closer look, and said, "Well, it really looks better than the black lamp."

He leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and got very close.

Tang Cuo didn't hide, and Jin Cheng felt a little frustrated with his generous appearance, but it also made Jin Cheng wonder if Tang Cuo could still remain calm if he kissed him at this time.

And Tang Cuo thought that he was very obvious—he could make Jin Cheng get so close and look at him so unscrupulously, besides being interesting to him, what other explanations could he have?

As for blushing, it is impossible to blush, after all, Tang Cuo is a warrior.

He only felt a little nervous, his limbs became slightly stiff, and his heartbeat became a little faster. In short, it was—a living soul rampaging in a cold and hard body.

This made his eyes brighter, so he had to lower his eyes slightly to prevent his emotions from being too revealing.It's not like him anymore.

Jin Cheng finally found traces of pleasure from this tiny movement, he smiled and didn't say anything, but he was in a good mood.

Qi Hui watched everything from the sidelines, and felt that the bosses could flirt with each other under such circumstances, as if they lacked basic respect for the haunted house, but he dared not say it.

Just at this moment, a ray of light swept across the corner of Qi Hui's eyes.He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and the moment he blocked it, he suddenly thought of a serious question—where did the light come from?

It is now 09:30 in the evening, and there is no other light source on the first floor except for the only lamp left and Jin Cheng's glazed lamp.

Thinking of this, Qi Hui suddenly looked out the window.There is a large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, but the window is covered by tattered curtains, and only the bleak moonlight shines through the holes in the curtains.

"Outside! It's the light outside!" Qi Hui shouted excitedly.

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng didn't need him to remind them, they came to the window before they finished speaking.The moment the curtain was lifted, dust fell down, and the light just now reappeared, illuminating the dust flying all over the sky.

Everything was in slow motion, the dust fluttered slowly, and the girl in the red dress standing in the overgrown garden turned around slowly.

She has beautiful eyes like Lin Wan, a red skirt, black leather shoes, and long curly hair.

"Miss!" Qi Hui exclaimed again, his eyes couldn't help looking at her feet again, his eyes widened, "Shadow, she has a shadow, she is alive!!!"

The only living NPC in the copy of "Before Dawn" appeared.

Tang Cuo was frowning.

The sudden appearance of a dead person among a large group of living people means that something has happened; the sudden appearance of a living person among a group of dead people is not a good thing either.

To make matters worse, the young lady was carrying a large plastic bucket, and the light came from her flashlight.She didn't seem to see them in the room at all, she walked to the wall with the bucket, opened the lid of the bucket and began to pour.

Through the window and the dim moonlight, Tang Cuo couldn't see clearly what was in the bucket, but this did not prevent him from using his basic imagination.

"Is she pouring oil? Is she going to set fire to the mansion?" Qi Hui also guessed.The threat of death suddenly approached, making him subconsciously take a step back.

Still no one answered.

Jin Cheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw something hanging around the lady's waist through the light, and frowned, "Is that the key?"

Tang Cuo nodded.

The key that appeared on the only living NPC must be very important.Either the key to the gate or the key to the piano room.

At this time, the young lady's footsteps gradually drifted away along the wall. It seemed that she really wanted to spill oil on every corner outside the mansion and burn the whole place down.

Tang Cuo thought of Rong Yi again.

In this time and space of 1936, just over an hour has passed, and several hours have passed since they entered the instance.Rong Yi must have met the young lady and knew that she was going to burn the Yu mansion. He could manipulate time to avoid the fire, but others could not.

Damn it, I was fucked.

The author has something to say:

Rong Yi: Hehe.
