Mrs. Tu is tall and burly, her rough eyebrows are connected in a line, and her eyes are like torches.The knife in his hand was wrapped with a red cloth, lingering with a murderous aura, the blade was black and red, only the blade was bright, and it was not known how many people's blood had been stained on it.Looking at it from a distance, it makes people tremble with fear.

The appearance of the butcher is really scary, but after seeing Yun Xubai's soul graffiti, not only do they not find it scary, they even find it a little funny.

The butcher raised his eyebrows and coldly glanced at the guests in the lobby.He stood sideways, but he had a strong sense of presence, and the guests avoided looking at him one after another, not daring to look at him.

The members of the Yunxubai team did not dare to look at the butcher, but the reason was not fear, but...

"I can't, I can't hold it anymore. Brother Xu's paintings are so vivid and resembling. When I saw the butcher, the one-line eyebrow and abs stick figure popped into my mind... Hahahaha!"

Hua Lizhi and the Scarecrow laughed so hard that their stomach hurts.

Yun Xubai said calmly: "You laugh too loudly, the butcher is staring at you."

The two of them restrained themselves a little.

[You are laughing so loudly, is my butcher shameless?I am fierce! ]

[Mainly, you laugh so loudly, I can't help laughing too, Keke Keke]

[Previously there was the ghost of the wild boy who shaved his head, and later there was the ghost of Grandet as the ghost, and now there is the butcher ghost with one-string eyebrows and eight-pack abs, what else?Can you make a group to send them out? ]

[Brother Xu: You can send them to the funeral]

Yun Xubai looked at the kitchen door, the deliveryman came in through the small door connecting the backyard, and handed a black box to the butcher.A bloodthirsty look appeared in the butcher's eyes, and he turned and went into the kitchen.Blood seeped out of the box and dripped to the ground.

The delivery man didn't seem to want to stay too long, and left after delivering the goods.

Yun Xubai remembered that there was a dark box under the delivery man's ox cart, with a thick layer of blood accumulated.Don't know what's in it.

"The delivery man's box for the butcher must contain bloody things," Yun Xubai said softly, "I just don't know if it was for the butcher, or it was in our dishes."

After finishing speaking, he tapped the tea on the table. This rose tea is often provided by the inn. The tea soup is light red, and there is a faint smell of blood in the fragrance.Because the Shiba Inu had mentioned it, they never drank it once.

Poison can also be divided into chronic and acute. If you eat tampered food for a long time, the consequences will be disastrous.

Shiba Inu became serious: "I will check more carefully."

Yun Xubai picked up the soul painting on the table, and slowly folded it: "Of the five grievances mentioned by Mu Chun, three have already appeared. It is certain that two of the vengeful spirits are related to Liuhua's accident that year. Must not be a coincidence."

The six people were affected by the sound of the piano differently, and their dreams were somewhat different. Only Yun Xubai got more information. He is the person who has contacted the most resentful spirits and has the most comprehensive clues.

When everyone heard this conclusion, many nodes appeared in their minds, but they couldn't be connected in series, so they asked him to make a summary.

Yun Xubai is good at what he does.

"According to what Liuhua said, when she came here to perform as a performer, she was hired and killed by the evil wife of the noble gentry because of her emotional entanglement. After her death, she was humiliated by having her hair shaved by the barber arranged by the evil wife."

Yun Xubai tapped on the table, and a gleam of light flashed across his bright eyes: "It's worth noting that when Liuhua talked about the tragic experience, she didn't mention the barber, and she seemed to be very concerned about this matter. The work that appeared last night, the information revealed Too little, but I feel that he has something to do with Liuhua's case."

Each of the wraiths looks very different, and on the surface they are just living in the inn together and murdering passers-by together.But if you dig deeper, you can find a close hidden line relationship. They are entangled with each other and are related to the case more than 100 years ago.

Rabbit listened carefully: "Then, other Wraith NPCs who have not appeared may also be related to that case."

"Hey, the main storyline of this dungeon has been gradually revealed," Hua Lizhi said: "On the first night, there was only one wraith harassing the player, and two appeared on the second night. It seems that the difficulty will continue to increase."

"So we have to crack the main story as soon as possible." Yun Xubai tapped on the desktop: "After calculating the time, it's time to release the task."

After a while, the system actually released the task:

[Congratulations to the players who successfully survived to the third day and will receive additional rewards. ]

[Next task: stay in the inn, restore the truth of the Liuhua case. ]

There is no time limit for restoring the truth of the Liuhua case, that is to say, only after completing this step can one know what the next task is.

Hua Lizhi clicked his tongue in amazement: "Brother Xu, you are right about the next step. Your ability to predict is really amazing."

As soon as Yun Xubai finished analyzing the connection between the Liuhua case and the npc, the system gave a task that was in the same direction as them.Yun Xubai is like standing on a very high place, foreseeing the right direction in advance.

"Liuhua is an important npc, and she cannot be avoided in missions." Yun Xubai responded simply.

In addition to the public notification, Yun Xubai also received a notification from the team:

[Currently the team has 50 overall points, ranking first, 2 points behind No.10. ]

The rankings and points of other teams are not disclosed, and the scoring criteria are not listed.Yun Xubai estimated that points are related to progress, finding props and killing wraiths.He has a piece of broken jade, and the rabbit has the Jade Guanyin presented by the delivery person. Even if they share clues, the points are higher than that of the brother team.

All players have received the notification, but the content is different for different teams.

Yun Xubai looked at Coke and asked, "Are you No.2, with a total of 40 points?"

The faces of the Cola team were not very good, and they all shook their heads.

Yun Xubai was a little surprised: "Could it be that you are ranked third?"

Coke nodded and said in a low voice: "30 points, 4 points behind No.10."

Originally thought that the Coke team would secure second place, but now it seems that a dark horse has been killed halfway, and it has unknowingly occupied a lot of resources.

Yun Xubai calmly analyzed: "The progress of our two teams is the same. No.2 is 10 points higher than you, which proves that they have clues that we don't know, or they have obtained important props."

"Which team do you suspect No.2 is?" Rabbit asked him.

"The doll's team," Yun Xubai immediately had an answer in his heart, his eyes darkened: "The other two teams are both damaged, and they are busy with helpers, so they have very little time to find clues. Remember what I said yesterday?"

Thinking of the members of the doll team wearing human skin masks to hide their identities, everyone became serious.

There are generally two reasons for wearing a human skin mask. One is that the other party has a prominent identity and can be recognized by all players on the server. This kind of host is generally recognized by the system.The high-end live broadcast room can be hidden, Yun Xubai can't feel the existence of another live broadcast room, it doesn't mean there isn't one.The second is that there are ulterior secrets, which are not open enough.

Regardless of the reason, the doll team is definitely not as harmless as they show.

"I originally thought that the figurine just has eyesight, and he learns what Brother Xu does, so he is in a better situation than other teams," Hua Lizhi said in a low voice, "I didn't expect to be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. If there is such a scheming, maybe it's inside Very dark."

"Be careful, if you have the opportunity to observe whether the other two are wearing human skin masks." Yun Xubai thought for a while, and said: "I haven't figured out the strength and purpose of the other party, and it's easy to be bitten by the other party. Wait for the right time to expose them .”

Teammates agree with him.

"I understand, let's play with them and see who is better."

"Then it has to be brother Xu, he is the uncrowned actor selected by the audience."

The old father couldn't help but nodded: "Yeah, my goose is the best!"

The teammates couldn't hold back any longer and were about to laugh when they heard Yun Xubai sternly say: "Don't laugh, be sad, don't let other people see that we are No.1."

Several people immediately put on sad expressions, or frowned or sighed.

Several teams are secretly guessing the ranking order, and of course observing the reactions of other teams.They found that all members of Team Yunxubai and Team Coke were depressed, and they had the worst expressions of all the teams. They were stunned. Could it be that they were the last ones?It shouldn't be.

The cinnabar mole and the Buddhist bead man, who were really at the bottom, were even more depressed. They were obviously at the bottom, and the sighing voice over there was louder than them.

These days, even the bottom one is being robbed?

[Hahaha, Brother Xu, you are doing this again]

[The painting styles of the players of the two teams are all taken away by brother Xu, they were not like this before]

[Hahaha, the team with reduced staff is the bottom one, they looked at the sad brother Xu, and slowly put a question mark in their hearts]

[I seem to have seen the student bitch who was the first in the back-to-back exam in the class and acted very sad]

["Let's go Pipixu" tipped Luoying Brilliant*100 games]

Yun Xubai's tossing really worked, at least many people believed that their two teams were not No.1.The blame was naturally passed on to the No.2 doll team.

The doll team didn't have time to make an expression, and it was interpreted by other players as——

"They have such a calm expression, they must be No.1, and they must have a lot of clues and resources in their hands."

"Usually acted very close to us and said everything. It turned out that there were clues hidden from us."

The people of the doll team instantly received the gazes of many players.

The extra rewards given by the system broke the weird atmosphere. The players who received the ghost coins found that some of the ghost coins were converted back into silver coins, and they can pay the rent without working part-time today.Players who did not receive the coins also paid an extra sum, which was just in time for the proprietress to collect the continuation fee.

Shiba Inu checked the breakfast carefully and found no problems. The crisis today probably wasn't in the food.

Among them, only Shiba Inu was inadvertently stitched by Wu Zuo. There were five stitches in total on the arm. Before Wu Zuo had time to tie the knot, she woke up.

Until the end of breakfast, nothing happened, and the players breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because of yesterday's incident, I was really worried about eating this meal," Oxygen still has lingering fears: "Fortunately, there are no needles and threads in today's dishes."

"Don't be too nervous, the ghosts are not the same, maybe the rules are different?" The male player in the Guazi team said: "Maybe you can only kill people with your own hands, and this stitch is not necessarily a sign of death."

After the male player finished speaking, he got up and left. Before he could take two steps, his body suddenly split into several pieces and fell to the ground with a "bang". piece.Warm blood splashed on the ground, chairs, dining table... and Guazi's face.

Guazi opened her mouth slightly, completely out of the situation.The guest npc saw this bloody scene and screamed away. These horrified screams intensified the fear in the player's heart.They dare not move, for fear of replicating another tragedy.

Guazi came to his senses and wanted to walk towards the corpse.Yun Xubai found a few thin red threads hanging above the corpse, and hurriedly stopped her: "Don't go there!"

Guazi was called back to his soul by him, and he closed his eyes hard, seeing the few threads surrounding the corpse, he felt lingering fear.

Her teammates were cut by these lines, and the sharpness was evident.

"Those who have been sutured by Wu Zuo last night, it's best not to move their positions at will," Yun Xubai's voice was clear as he knocked on the table with his fingers, "If you guessed right, there are hidden threads all around you right now."

As soon as these words came out, those few players who had been recruited became more panicked, sat upright, and discussed with their teammates what to do.

Only Shiba Inu is in danger here, Yun Xubai told her not to move.Hua Lizhi used ice and snow skills, and several frozen thin lines appeared around Shiba Inu's position, hanging from the ceiling and plunging straight into the ground, like a cage, trapping her firmly in the middle.If she had rushed out without knowing why, she would have ended up the same as the male player just now.

Hua Lizhi said: "I found the thread, but I can't hold it."

Golden scissors appeared in Yun Xubai's hands, and with a few clicks, he cut even the ice thread.

When the thread is broken, the game is broken, those threads disappear, and the ice on the flowers and branches melts and turns into water droplets on the ground.

The other players followed suit and found out the thread in different ways, but they didn't have tools to cut the thread, so they looked at Yun Xubai's scissors anxiously.

Yun Xubai pretended not to see, put away the scissors, and led the team away.Helping this step is already done with kindness and righteousness. If they can't even break such a simple situation, there is no need for these people to go down.

[The scene just now was really scary, one second was still alive, the next second it was...]

[my heart races with fear]

[I think that melon seed is quite tired, she has been breastfeeding her teammates, if this one didn't die too fast today, she might have to save her]

[This game is much more dangerous than yesterday's kelp thread, it makes my scalp tingle when I see it]

Other players are still trying to solve those extremely tough killing lines, Yun Xubai and the others took the lead in starting today's work.

The direction is already there, but I don't know where to start.Yun Xubai thought for a while, and took out the broken jade that he got from the shaved ghost last night: "The broken jade is very important, maybe it's all in the hands of the Wraith NPC, or maybe it's hidden somewhere in the inn. I don't know what it's for now , Everyone write down the shape of the broken jade, and act separately. If you find the broken jade or a mechanism with a similar shape, let us know in the team group."

After the teammates agreed, Yun Xubai added: "The butcher is in the kitchen, and the Shiba Inu is still in danger. Everyone, be careful, and everyone must come back."

After the teammates were exhausted, the two teams moved separately.

Yun Xubai's team is in charge of the first floor, they searched it yesterday, only the kitchen hasn't been entered yet.Focus on finding secret rooms and basements today.

I searched all the way and found nothing.

The Scarecrow said, "An excuse to search the room?"

They haven't entered the guest room yet, maybe there is a mystery in it.

Yun Xubai suddenly thought of a place: "Don't search the guest room, let's go to the proprietress' room."

Yun Xubai found the proprietress' room according to his memory, and it was locked outside, but this level of lock couldn't stop them at all.

As soon as the door was opened, a faint smell of blood came to the nostrils.The two covered their mouths and noses, closed the door, and entered the room calmly.

The proprietress' room is very spacious, with two spaces for work and living. The decoration and furniture are very particular, and it is completely different from the room where the players live.

There was a danger of being caught at any time, so the three of them seized the time and searched as fast as possible.After about 5 minutes, the rabbit found a gap similar in shape to the broken jade on the mural.

The rabbit called Yun Xubai over, and he looked at the mural in front of him.It was covered by layers of gauze curtains. If the rabbit hadn't lifted the gauze curtains, they really wouldn't have known there was a hole in the back.

The mural area is very large, and the content of the painting is a bit strange.In an empty room, there were many coffins and some wooden beds, on which lay corpses in different shapes. Wu Zuo was autopsy on the corpse in the center, with a ferocious face like Shura.

The strange thing is that Wu Zuo's toolbox is not full of equipment, but full of silver.The corpse was covered with a face, and there was a jade pendant next to it. The gap that the rabbit found was on the jade pendant.

The mural is well preserved, the colors are bright, and the red blood seems to flow from the wall.

"This is a picture from the time when the inn was still in Yizhuang." Yun Xubai filled the mural with broken jade, the jade pendant became complete, and a white light shot out from the painting, involving them.

Opening his eyes again, the three of them were already in the mural, surrounded by coffins.

Wu Zuo couldn't see them, didn't respond at all, and slowly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.The pale face was exposed in front of everyone, it was Liuhua.Liu Hua could not rest in peace, her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling, a lot of blood was splashed on her face.Her neck was completely severed from her body, and the incisions were neat, caused by a sharp weapon.

Yun Xubai thought of the butcher's knife, it seemed that what Liuhua said was true, the butcher killed her.Yun Xubai took a special look at the nearby corpses to make sure that there were no corpses of the barber and others, that is to say, they died behind Liuhua.

Wu Zuo saw the tragic state of the corpse, and sighed: "It's obvious that someone had beheaded. The young lady of the Qi family insisted on me giving false testimony. Isn't this embarrassing me?"

"It's pitiful for a young and beautiful girl to die without a whole body. I committed a crime." Wu Zuo looked at the box of silver next to him, knelt down in front of the corpse with a plop, and burst into tears: "Girl Liuhua, my old mother is sick. Heavy, save your life by pointing at these money. You are a performer, and I am a watcher of death. I can’t help myself. I really can’t help it. Don’t blame me. If you want to stalk your people, go to those who stalk you!”

Wu Zuo kowtowed a few times, took out a needle and thread, sewed back Liuhua's severed head, wiped off the blood, wrapped it in two layers of gauze, and painted a layer of paint that was very close to the skin color on it, and covered it with a collar. Can't see the previous tragedy at all.

Wu Zuo's hands were still trembling, he wanted to wipe off the blood on his hands, but found that he couldn't wipe it off, his head was covered with cold sweat, his whole body trembled,

"Don't pester me, I will use the money to bury you, and you don't want to be thrown into a mass grave to feed wild dogs..." Wu Zuo finished yelling, no matter how much, he wiped his hands carelessly, and held the box of silver Yupei and Liuhua ran away in a panic.

"Follow him." Yun Xubai followed, and when he passed through a certain door, he returned to the same place.

Liuhua's body is gone, the Yizhuang is half empty, and the sundries are messy.Wu Zuo came in from the outside with a bottle of shochu and two packs of meat in his hand.

"Why are we back at the same place?" Rabbit was a little confused: "Which one is real, the scene just now or the scene now?"

"It's all true, but the timeline has changed," Yun Xubai said, "If what Liu Hua said is true, then her body has already been sealed, and I broke my promise and didn't bury her."

Wu Zuo looked very happy, humming an out-of-tune tune: "The case is over, and the big stone in my heart has finally fallen. I will leave here tomorrow, go back to my hometown to build a house, and never have to deal with the dead again. I can't help myself... beep, beep, beep..."

Wu Zuo sat down, swallowed impatiently, put the meat on the table, and poured a glass of wine: "I used to drink such a good wine, I couldn't drink it once a year, but I will drink it twice a month from now on!"

Wu Zuo raised his glass, but before he took a sip, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked around vigilantly.

Wu Zuo put down his wine glass, his Adam's apple slipped nervously, and whispered, "Who is where?"

"Did he see us?" The scarecrow waved his hand at Wuzuo, but Wuzuo completely ignored him, but his face was getting worse and worse.Wu Zuo ran away as if he was running into evil, yelling "Don't chase me, I didn't kill you!".

Yun Xubai said, "He saw a ghost, but we couldn't."

"Is it Liuhua?" The rabbit said in a deep voice: "Liuhua didn't intend to take revenge at first, but Wu Zuo lied, and she decided to take revenge. Liuhua's seal means that she cannot be reborn forever and is trapped in Yizhuang, but she can stay in Yizhuang. kill."

"Liuhua doesn't look like such a powerful ghost, is it just a disguise?" The scarecrow sighed: "In this dungeon, NPCs will act, and players will also act. It's a play together."

Wu Zuo's clothes were ripped out of thin air, and the wind blew bloodstains out of them.He ran out in a frenzy, fell on the flat ground, hit his neck on the hoe on the ground, and his blood was flying.Wu Zuo's head drooped softly, he looked at the wine in the distance, and made a vague voice: "Wine...I didn't drink..."

At the moment of death, it is also the sip of wine that Wu is thinking about.

[Sigh, when I did that, I should have thought that there would be a day when I would be revenged]

[Is it really Liuhua who killed Wu, then her request for help is fake?She clearly showed that she was the weakest in the entire inn]

[You can’t believe everything a ghost says]

["Congratulations to Zai Zai for making new progress" rewarded 1000 secret recipes for making big pig's hooves]

[If Wu Zuo had buried the durian flowers, he wouldn’t have died tragically, but he didn’t do what he said, why didn’t he let the evil wife seal the body]

With a flash of white light, the three of them left the mural and returned to the proprietress' room.

The broken jade returned to Yun Xubai's hand, and the content on the mural quietly became the last scene they had seen. Wu Zuo's neck was pierced by a hoe, and his eyes were fixed on the bottle of wine.

Yun Xubai looked at the bottle of wine thoughtfully.

It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, the three of them left lightly, just as Yun Xubai opened the door, he saw a waiter walking over.It was too late to hide, Yun Xubai signaled his two teammates not to come out, he covered the door and blocked the opened lock.

"Master, why are you standing in front of the proprietress' room?" The waiter looked at Yun Xubai with strange eyes: "You can't be..."

Yun Xubai thought that the waiter was alluding to him for stealing, so he said righteously: "No."

The faster Yun Xubai denied it, the more suspicious the waiter became.He looked at the handsome face in front of him, and said with more certainty: "Master, don't rush to deny it. There is nothing shameful about it. Don't be nervous. The proprietress still has charm, and it's normal for you to admire her..."

Yun Xubai: "..." Did he misunderstand something?

In the room, the rabbit and the scarecrow, who heard everything, struggled to hold back their laughter, and their faces flushed.
