In an escape game...

The water in the tank soon filled up, and the red water shook slightly, like a tank of diluted blood.

After a while, the color of the water gradually became lighter and became clear again.

If it weren't for the water stains on the ground not disappearing, Yun Xubai almost thought that pouring water was just his imagination.

The water in the town is indeed a problem.

The townspeople drank this kind of water for many years, and gradually turned into ghosts. Sooner or later, they would become real ghosts. Fortunately, Yun Xubai kept an eye out for it from the beginning. He didn't drink the water in the hotel, but only ate fruits to quench his thirst. The impact will be much smaller.

We can't delay any longer, we must deduce a reasonable ending before the whole town falls, and leave the town.

The change of water is inseparable from the sacrifice of living people, blood refining and energy gathering, Yun Xu's white eyes gradually darkened, and he walked directly to the study.

When passing the living room, Yun Xubai heard a commotion, looked inside, and saw the four players who had been hiding in the hotel standing in the living room, staring at Jiao Huai.

Yun Xubai raised his eyebrows and hid outside the door to observe secretly.

"Mayor, there have been strange deaths in the hotel these two days. We suspect that the hotel is haunted, and we are so worried." Lu Qi frowned, and asked in a worried tone: "Is there any other guests who came to look for you today? They Haven't been back to the hotel and we're worried, can you recount the conversation you had with them?"

Too many people died in the past two days. The four realized that hiding in the hotel might not survive seven days, so they had to start looking for clues.

And the most convenient way is to follow other players and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

If it is an ordinary player, their trick is quite useful, but it is a pity that they encounter an opponent who does not play according to the routine.

Jiao Huai smiled amiably at them, and said solemnly: "Haunting is normal in the town. We have lived here for a long time and have honed our way of survival. There is an important task for you to do. I can understand how to survive in a small town."

After Jiao Huai finished speaking, she emphasized again: "I said exactly the same thing to your friends."

Lu Qi thought that there was indeed a door, and his expression became more sincere: "What's the matter?"

Jiao Huai pondered for a moment: "Do you really want to know?"

The four nodded hurriedly.

Jiao Huai asked in a serious tone: "Are you sure you can concentrate, be patient, and do that without complaint?"

Lu Qi vowed: "We promise we can do it!"

"Young man has a good attitude." Jiao Huai admired her eyes, cleared her throat, and called out: "Come on, take a few guests to the kitchen to help make sauerkraut!"

The four players were held in place by the sound, their faces stunned.

Lu Qi's gentle smiling face cracked, and he asked uncertainly: "Do... make sauerkraut?"

"Can't do it? Your friends did it without saying a word, and soon realized the Tao." Jiao Huai shook her head, as if she didn't want to embarrass them: "That's all, since you are not sincere, just leave Bar."

The players got anxious when they heard it, and quickly said: "Let's go, let's go!"

Several players followed the servants to the kitchen, chattering along the way:

"The mayor is an important npc, there must be a reason why he asked us to make sauerkraut!"

"Makes sense!"

"What is the connection between making sauerkraut and the way of survival? Ah, this clue is too difficult."

"Yun Xubai and the others can realize it, so we can too. Don't think too complicated."

"They know the clues but don't share them with us, damn it!"

Yun Xubai came out from behind the cover, looked at their innocent backs, and sighed.

Originally thought that they were at least a silver tier, but they didn't expect it to be a few bronzes, or bronzes with thick skins.

Yun Xubai shook his head, and waved to Jiaohuai: "Mayor, let's go."

"I tricked those stupid players into making sauerkraut." Jiao Huai blinked her eyes, and said confidently, "I want them to understand a truth, there is no such thing as getting something for nothing!"

"I saw it." Yun Xubai smiled: "You are cultivating their independent thinking spirit, and you are also euphemistically telling them how to survive the horror dungeon."

When the two went to the study, Tian Dan and Chen Han were already bored enough to play chess.

The mayor didn't relax for a moment, his hands moved restlessly, trying to untie the rope.

Tian Dan put down the chess pieces and stood up: "You guys are back, how did the investigation go?"

Yun Xubai said: "The main line of the story is almost done. There is a problem with the water in the town. Don't drink any more."

They have not yet shown symptoms of ghosting, which proves that drinking water for a short period of time will be fine, but it is not necessarily the case if they drink water for the seventh day in a row.

Chen Han glanced at the teacup and said nervously, "What does it mean that there is a problem with the water?"

Yun Xubai tapped on the table: "It's a long story, it has something to do with what the mayor has done in recent years."

Several probing eyes fell on the mayor at the same time.

The same face, because the soul inside is different, the temperament is also very different. The mayor puts on a charming face, and after taking off the disguise, his eyes are even more gloomy than the deity.

Yun Xubai dragged a chair and sat in front of the town, crossed his long legs, and said slowly: "A few years ago your wife died of illness, you were distraught and determined to bring her back to life, so you made the idea of ​​changing the Feng Shui of the whole town. , refining blood and gathering energy. In order to achieve this goal, you directed and performed a good show yourself."

The mayor didn't expect that he had found this far, and his pupils trembled slightly, revealing the shock in his heart.

"The mayor's secret is to try his best to revive his dead wife." Tian Dan nodded: "Think about it carefully, in fact, the npc has been secretly revealing this secret line."

Chen Han showed surprise: "I didn't expect that the seemingly gentle mayor is behind the scenes!"

Coldness spread in the light-colored eyes, and the mayor pretended to cast a sharp glance at them.

"Behind the scene, the mayor first bought Taoist priests to say that the town is haunted, and used the selfishness of the townspeople to frame Widow Li's mother and daughter, staining the spirit veins with blood. At night, the painted skin ghost peeled Widow Li's skin. Where did the skin go? "Yun Xubai chuckled lightly, narrowing his eyes as if painted with fine brushwork: "I guess...is it used on Mrs. Zun?"

The mayor's eyes were wide open, and the complicated eyes seemed to say: How do you even know this?

Chen Han was also a little dazed, and whispered: "Brother Xu knows everything?"

"He is not a player of the same level as us." Tian Dan has long seen this fact clearly. Yun Xubai has done a lot of work in places they didn't know, and he has already restored the whole story of the psychic town. Some details The problem can be deduced by combining with other clues.

Jiao Huai gave a "hush", signaling them not to spoil Yun Xubai's pressing atmosphere.

The house was silent again, and Yun Xubai didn't speak, but just watched the mayor quietly with a sympathetic and regretful look, like watching a child who went wrong.

The mayor felt offended and even more angry.

Facing his anger, Yun Xubai casually opened his mouth: "The method of refining blood and gathering energy was told by Huapigui, right? She must have given you a very good promise to make you sacrifice the whole town willingly. "

The mayor's eyes flickered, and he avoided it.

"You are blinded by this beautiful promise and selfish love, but you don't know that the soul of your wife is imprisoned in the dark, and you suffer the torment of not being able to be reincarnated every day." Yun Xubai tore off the handkerchief from his mouth and threw it on On the side, every word punishes the heart: "You are just to satisfy your selfish desires, that is not love."

The mayor was able to speak, but his throat felt dry. He stared at Yun Xubai, his voice was hoarse: "You have no right to judge my feelings..."

He changed his voice and asked tentatively, "Have you seen her?"

Yun Xubai said: "She is in pain and begged me to help her out."

"You're lying!" the mayor said hysterically, with reddened eyes, "I've tried everything I can to get her back into the world and stay with me forever. Why is she in pain?"

"In the small building, a powerful ghostly energy suppressed her so much that she couldn't breathe, and her soul and body were so weak that they would disperse with a single beat."

Yun Xubai sighed inaudibly: "I heard that Mrs. Zun was kind and generous, and the townspeople praised her. How can such a person not suffer pain when he sees his lover become a bloody executioner for himself?"

His tone was very calm, but there was no blood in his heart.

A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and the mayor, like a hedgehog whose belly was accidentally exposed, turned his head helplessly to hide the pain in his eyes.

Yun Xubai stood up and looked down at him: "Besides, you can't see her but I can. What do you think is the reason?"

"It was Huapi who made a move." The mayor also realized the problem, and said in a deep voice, "I was the one who lured the wolf into the house."

"You have changed your body now, and I can help you fish in troubled waters to meet your wife." Yun Xubai smiled warmly with the end of his slender eyes closed, "but you must tell me everything, and you must tell me everything."
