Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Known clue A: the foreman's name is Shi Xin, he is hated by the workers, and was caught by a certain worker; clue B: he is very afraid of monsters that appear on the construction site, and the room is covered with talismans, but he cannot start the construction site ; Clue C: Newspaper × 1, which records that Shuitian Shangtong did not purchase construction accident insurance for workers.Ask: the way to leave.

Shen Maomao: "..." There is no way to solve this question.

She only heard Yun Shengjin ambiguously talk about the method of leaving. It is roughly to find out the main plot of the dungeon and pass the game, but how can it be considered as finding out the plot?Do you want to shout out loud after discovering the plot?

After hearing her guess, Xiaolou glanced at her with the expression of looking at a fool.

She wrote on the paper: [Find out the most critical point in the main plot, and you will find the exit.As long as you defeat the guard boss, or escape from the boss, you can escape successfully.The first person to find the exit also has a high chance of triggering the option. 】

What is the trigger option?This answer is still very abstract, and Shen Maomao finds it difficult to understand based on his IQ.But thinking about it, it was absolutely impossible for her to be the first to find the exit, and it would be troublesome to explain it now, so she didn't ask.

There is not much time left for them.Tonight at the latest, if they can't find a way to leave, the three of them will have to cool off.

Anyway, Shen Maomao couldn't hear it, so Xiaolou mainly communicated with Jinmao: "I already know the general direction of this dungeon, and I have specific ideas about how to leave."

The golden retriever is completely out of shape: "Ah? Sister Lou, how do you know?"

"Investigate." Xiaolou said naturally.

The golden retriever who also worked hard to investigate but found nothing: "..."

Xiaolou: "There is only one living NPC in the dungeon, the foreman Shi Xin. Shi Xin is not a respected and good foreman. On the contrary, he has a long-standing grudge with the workers. In the plot I understand, Shi Xin Xin embezzled public funds and owed wages to workers..."

On the day she went to search the building where the foreman lived, she saw more things than Shen Maomao.

When she shook off the foreman and came back, she saw two black shadows arguing on the roof. The fat one stretched out his hand lightly, and the tall, thin shadow fell from upstairs and hit the ground with a muffled "bang".Shen Maomao and Jinmao, who were running away at that time, also heard the voice, but they didn't dare to look back.

In addition to the later newspapers, Ding Hou who hanged in front of their door, the conversation in the bathroom, and the talisman paper in the room of the foreman Shi Xin...

She guessed: Shi Xin pushed the worker who had seized him downstairs and then took advantage of the night to destroy the corpse and bury the corpse under the pond that had not yet been built.But the worker’s wife doesn’t believe that her husband will disappear for no reason; or she knows that her husband is holding the foreman’s handle, so she suspects that the foreman killed her husband, so she makes a big fuss on the construction site, and then commits suicide, or pretends to be suicide after being killed. .Then the workers on the construction site began to disappear, until now, only the foreman is left.And then there was a change in the pond where the corpse was buried, so he couldn't wait to let the players seal the pond to save his life.

As for the monster that came back from the shopping mall with Shen Maomao—Xiaolou initially judged that before Shen Maomao went to the mall, it wandered outside during the day and came to the construction site at night.The noise they heard came from the face on the monster's belly.These sounds can make people upset and uneasy. If they appear alone, they can at most cause self-harm or suicide.

And after Shen Maomao came back from the mall, that thing came back with him, everything was disrupted, and no one knew what it would do next.

In summary, she believes that the most important props in this game are either the foreman's handle or the corpse under the pond.

After listening to her explanation, the golden retriever: "...?" It looked awesome.

Shen Maomao: "..." It's annoying not being able to hear it.

Xiaolou closed his eyes helplessly to calm down the anger in his heart.She didn't understand why she took two idiots to escape, but she took them all, so she should be responsible to the end.

So she said directly: "Now there are two ways, one is to find the foreman's handle; the other is to go to the pond to find the exit after the foreman leaves."

Anyway, there is plenty of time, they can do the same thing.

The foreman's handle has appeared many times in the game, so it is impossible to just talk about it verbally.This kind of thing may be the account book of the construction site, or the recording of the foreman, which was either discovered by the foreman and taken away and destroyed, or hidden by the workers and has not been found so far...

So the investigation is considered a big project.

Fortunately, the foreman was in a hurry to seal the pond and had no time to come back and look at it.And with three less laborers, even if he worked overtime, it would be impossible to lay the stone slabs tonight, so they could search boldly with confidence.

The three soldiers divided into three groups and conducted a carpet search on the entire construction site.I searched all afternoon, but found nothing.The construction site is cleaner than their faces. Except for some necessary design drawings, there is not even a blank sheet of paper, let alone a bookkeeping book.

When the sunset covered the sky, the three of them met near the pond without finding anything.

Shen Maomao was a little nervous: "Sister Lou, it's getting dark, can we do it?"

Xiaolou glanced at her, and Shen Maomao strangely understood the meaning of "women can't say no".

Shen Maomao: "...?"

Xiaolou rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought: "It shouldn't be..." It's unlikely that the foreman got the handle, otherwise the game wouldn't need to remind them.

She has always had confidence in her own judgment, which is what she is proud of, so it can only be that her thinking is not flexible enough to think of a real way to obtain props.

Not far away, the players who had been busy all day and smelled of blood were off work.The foreman, like a mouse being chased by a cat, went straight to his room covered with yellow symbols.

Regardless of whether this talisman has actual effects or not, there must be psychological comfort.

Today's work time is later than usual. The foreman forced them to work overtime for two hours. The old players complained about the three culprits who made them work overtime.

Xiaolou held down Shen Maomao who was anxious to go out to find an exit, and waited for the old players to disappear completely before taking them out.

The closer to the pond, the more the Golden Retriever's legs trembled.

It was fine just working on it in the morning, but now that he was about to enter the mud pond again, he couldn't control his legs.

The original orange bricks were covered with a layer of cement that had almost dried.The red cut surface of the cement was laid neatly, and after an afternoon of sun exposure, there was no smell of blood left.

There is still a small half of the board on the top of the pond that has not been sealed. Except for this small half, the rest of the place is tightly blocked and the sun cannot be seen.

When the stone slabs are laid, it is estimated that the things in the pond will be trapped underground forever. Unless the developer takes over the project again, it will never come out.

They walked around the blood-stained part of the fence, tied the safety rope that came along in a knot on the scaffolding, and then descended into the pond along the gap in the stone slab.

Because the sun was never seen, the mud at the bottom of the pond was still wet, and all three of them sank into the mud from the ankle down.Judging by Jin Mao's expression, he probably wanted to jump on Shen Maomao and Xiaolou to hug their necks.

Shen Maomao: "That's not promising!"

Golden Retriever: "If you came down with me that night, you would know how scary it is."

Shen Maomao: "What are you talking about, I can't hear you."

Golden Retriever: "..." Scoundrel.

Xiaolou stomped around with his feet and asked him, "Where is the hole you dug?"

The golden retriever took the initiative to lead the way: "It's... over here."

The pit seemed to be less than three meters deep, and the walls of the pit were wet and soft, and the pit that the golden retriever kicked out that night still remained on it.

The golden retriever had lingering fears: "I heard a second breathing sound besides me from the bottom, and I couldn't climb to the top no matter how I climbed. After you pulled me up, those hands appeared in the pond, trying to pull me back .”

Having said that, he walked around in a circle and asked strangely, "Why didn't you respond?"

Xiaolou said lightly, "What's the hurry?"

Yes, it's not dark yet.

The three explored around the bottom of the pond, but found nothing but Ding Hou's skull.

Waiting for dark in such an environment is terrifying.The air below doesn't circulate at all, it's so quiet that there's not even a sound of the wind, and with Ding Hou's bald head as company, Shen Maomao feels that he's sure to have nightmares when he goes back.

As the sun sank little by little, the smell of blood in their nostrils became stronger, as if the blood that had been frozen was melting little by little, eroding the precarious spiritual world of the two newcomers.

After eight o'clock, everything is quiet.The construction site is like a cemetery, and where they are located is the grave of Luxurious Plus in the cemetery.

The three of them stood in the mud for several hours, and the blackening sky seemed like their lives were constantly jumping to the end.

Shen Maomao has already started to think about how to write the suicide note so as not to make parents sad.

I don't know if it's already nine o'clock. Familiar whistles and voices came from a distance. The mud under their feet began to roll, and countless pairs of pale hands broke through the ground, grabbing the pants and legs of the three of them indiscriminately.

The golden retriever's legs softened and almost knelt down, but Shen Maomao couldn't control his screams, and kicked this man's hand with both hands and feet.

Xiaolou covered his ears and shouted: "Rabbit! Sing!!"

Shen Maomao obeyed the order, opened his voice and roared, and sang for a long time without a word being in tune.

This ugly singing voice gave Golden Retriever great courage. He was scared to death, but he still dared to say aloud: "Sister Rabbit! Your singing is really awesome!!"

The whistle may have sensed the invincibility, so it stopped abruptly, and all the hands that broke through the ground in the pond were withdrawn.But Shen Maomao's singing continued, like a magic voice piercing through his ears, if he listened to it for a long time, he might die.

In order to prevent her from dying at his own hands, Xiao Lou raised his hand to cover her mouth, put his other hand on his lips and said, "Shhh—"

The voice control Shen Maomao immediately stopped, waiting for the master's permission to sing again.

But now that the whistle is gone, she has nothing to use.Xiaolou threw her a shovel, pointed in one direction, and said, "Here!!" The whistle just now came from below!

Shen Maomao hurriedly followed suit, dug the mud with Golden Retriever diligently, and soon dug out a big hole.
