In an escape game...
Chapter 92 The Island of Mists
On the way back to "home", Yun Xubai always felt that there were gloomy eyes glued to his back. Whenever he paused, the vague sense of peeping would also be strengthened.
Looking back, there was nothing.
Something is following them, Yun Xubai is sure.
And more than one.
There is no nightlife on the island, the residents rest early, there are only a few people on the street, and every house is closed. If it weren't for the voices of people from time to time in the lit room, Yun Xubai would have thought it was a deserted island.
When passing by a telegraph pole, Yun Xubai inadvertently saw a small advertisement pasted on it. The ink-blackened photo on it caught his attention. He took two steps back and stopped in front of the telegraph pole to take a closer look.
It turned out that it was not a small advertisement, but a missing person notice.
There was a black and white photo of Teacher Qi printed on it, with funny eye circles and turtles painted on his face with black ink, and the words "abandoned family, abandoned son, bastard" written crookedly underneath.
These angry ink blots obscured part of the printed text of the notice, but it was barely legible.
Under the heading "Looking for My Husband Qi Yuming", there is a passage like this:
"Qi Yuming, male, 37 years old, has good facial features, wears flat-frame glasses, has a mole between his eyebrows, speaks standard Mandarin, has no obvious accent, is a mathematics teacher in Siren Primary School, and has taught in the primary school for nearly ten years. He lost contact with his family on March 6 and his whereabouts are unknown. Before he disappeared, he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. If you see this person, please contact 20*****. The family misses him very much. After seeing the notice, Qi Yuming contacted his family as soon as possible. "
"On June 6th, twenty days have passed since today. Mr. Qi must have wanted to contact his family when he saw the notice, but he had no choice..." Yun Xubai stopped talking at this point, leaving only a faint voice Sigh.
"It's helpless to separate yin and yang." Jiao Huai thought for a while, and said slowly: "What happened to make him considered by the islanders to be a bastard who abandoned his family?"
Yun Xubai pushed his glasses, and said softly, "If we want to know the answer, we need to find an npc to chat with."
"Let's find an NPC to get the news." Jiao Huai smiled knowingly.
"Let's go." Yun Xubai wrote down the contact information of Teacher Qi's wife and continued on his way.
Behind him, on the missing person notice printed in black and white, two wipes of blood suddenly oozed out of Mr. Qi's eyes, dripping slowly, like two lines of blood and tears, looking creepy and miserable on the scribbled face.
[Damn, the photo is bleeding!How scary! ]
[The anchor spoke his heart, so he cried]
[Why doesn't the missing person notice print in color, the photo looks like a ghost photo, so unlucky]
[Everyone is dead now, isn't it Mingzhao]
Two crows perched on the fence, opening and closing their sharp beaks, making a hoarse cry, like a mournful cry.A dark red shadow flashed across the mottled wall, and soon disappeared under the night sky.
Around the corner is the breakfast shop opened by Jiaohuai's "parents", and beside it stands a signboard with yellow characters on a red background: Jiaojiao Breakfast Shop.
Yun Xubai raised his eyebrows: "Jiaojiao?"
Jiao Huai became angry from embarrassment: "Shut up!"
The breakfast shop was closed at this time, and a long-haired woman in an apron stood at the door. The overflowing lights in the shop shone behind her, casting a long shadow.
"Stinky boy, where did you go to play, and you come home so late!" Seeing Jiao Huai, the woman raised her eyebrows and scolded lightly.
Due to the presence of Yun Xubai, the woman didn't continue to scold the child, and showed a gentle smile as if changing her face: "Mr. Yun, why are you so late? Is it because my naughty son caused trouble again and delayed you?"
The system automatically prompts the identity of the npc. This is the mother of Jiao Huai's role, named Huasao.
"No, he performed very well today." Yun Xubai smiled: "It's just that the fog is too heavy, so he walked a bit slower."
"Fog?" Mrs. Hua glanced at the sky, her eyes became a little strange: "There is no fog today."
Yun Xubai was taken aback when he heard the words—it turns out that only players and wraiths can see the fog, and the residents of the island cannot see it.
When the copy explained the background, it only said that the island was shrouded in thick fog, but it didn't mention whether the islanders could see it.
"It's fog at the school." Yun Xubai came back unhurriedly, and mentioned something like a common gossip: "I saw Teacher Qi's missing person notice on the way back, is there anything new about this matter? progress?"
"What new progress can there be? This shit in their family..." Mentioning Teacher Qi, Hua's expression became subtle, and she glanced at Jiao Huai who was concentrating on listening to the follow-up: "Speak, adults, children, don't join in the fun, hurry up!" Go in and eat, your dad has been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiao Huai wanted to hear the follow-up, but in order to make things go well, she couldn't resist, so she had to reluctantly enter the house.
"Mr. Yun, what is the school's attitude towards Teacher Qi?" Mrs. Hua wiped her hands on her apron, frowned and shook her head: "When I think of this kind of corrupt person who used to be Jiaojiao's teacher, I feel a little overwhelmed!"
"I was busy teaching before, so I didn't know much about it. I went to Mr. Qi's house today. His wife's condition is not very good."
The warm light fell on Yun Xubai's body, coating his clear face with a layer of warm color, he said unhurriedly: "The school wants to collect more information, can you tell me the details?"
"Teacher Yun is a cultural person, so he may not have heard the rumors in the market."
Sister-in-law Hua, who originally wanted to gossip about this matter, was infected by Yun Xubai's gentle tone, and unknowingly withdrew her slightly sarcastic expression: "Ms. Qi didn't come home after class that day, and the phone couldn't be reached. Sister-in-law Qi thought He was delayed by something, so he didn't take it seriously, but she didn't come back the next day, so she became anxious and called the police.
"Then someone discovered that the proprietress of the Zhizha shop was also missing on the same day, but the owner of the Zhizha shop did not call the police. A few days later, there was a rumor that Teacher Qi and the proprietress of the Zhizha shop had eloped together! Zhizha The shop owner didn’t call the police because he didn’t want to make a noise.”
No wonder Teacher Qi's wife said that the people on the island saw her jokes, and that the teacher eloped with the gangster. This kind of bloody gossip spread the fastest. It must have spread in the streets and alleys long ago. Everyone is waiting to see Follow-up.
As soon as Mrs. Hua finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, messing up her hair, and a few pieces of yellow paper blown by the wind stuck to her body. paper money!
Mrs. Hua's face paled immediately, and she threw away the paper money: "It's unlucky, why haven't these things been cleaned up, I have to wipe myself with Guanyin water tonight."
Probably because Mr. Qi who was following him was dissatisfied with Mrs. Hua's words, so he made a little trick, Yun Xubai thought to himself.
"Can Guanyin water ward off evil spirits?" Yun Xubai asked.
Mrs. Hua said firmly: "Of course! The water used to clean the Guanyin statue is the most effective against evil things!"
Yun Xubai bent his eyes thoughtfully: "I don't enshrine the Guanyin statue, can I ask you for some Guanyin water?"
"Of course." Mrs. Hua readily agreed.
"Thank you." Yun Xubai naturally returned to the topic: "By the way, how did the news spread that Mr. Qi and the proprietress of Zhizhapu eloped? Could it be that they have contacts on weekdays?"
"Why not, the two of them have been bothered for a long time!" Mrs. Hua exaggeratedly widened her eyes, glanced around, and whispered: "It is said that they are classmates, and they fell in love when they were young. After breaking his leg, Mr. Qi had to marry his sister-in-law, and the proprietress got married too in a fit of anger.
"The two may not have broken up. The proprietress always smiles every time she sees Teacher Qi... We have long felt that something is wrong. Alas, the head of Old Liu, the owner of the paper shop, is so green..."
Mrs. Hua's expression was very vivid, and she said with righteous indignation: "The police searched for days but couldn't find anyone. Everyone said that this is probably an elopement. After the accident, sister-in-law Qi became angry and sick. This Qi is really not a good person!"
"Hiss...why did it get cold all of a sudden." Mrs. Hua shuddered, rubbed her hairy arm, and muttered in confusion, "Has the temperature dropped?"
Yun Xubai looked around, and when he was about to look away, he saw a black palm sticking out from Mrs. Hua's shadow, and was about to grab her ankle!
Yun Xubai cleared his throat: "It won't be cold if you stomp your feet, just stomp harder."
Sure enough, Mrs. Hua stomped her feet, just in time to step that black hand back into the shadow.
Mrs. Hua didn't notice this, she rubbed her nose: "It seems that it's really not cold anymore, this method is quite useful."
[God damn stomp a little harder, the host must have done it on purpose]
[That hand is definitely Mr. Qi's, he can't listen to people saying bad things about him, he has been doing petty tricks, what a cheapskate hahaha]
[I didn't expect that there is a bloody country love story behind this supernatural dungeon, and it's a middle-aged love triangle? ]
[I always feel that the elegant anchor is incompatible with all this hahaha]
"Sister-in-law Qi later went to the police station to close the case, and she didn't care about it." Aunt Hua straightened her sleeves and said in a low voice, "Compared to her, Old Liu from the paper-making shop is much more ruthless."
"What's wrong with him?" Yun Xubai asked following the voice.
"Teacher Yun is really 'keep your ears off the window, and only read the books of sages'. This incident has caused a lot of trouble, and you don't know." Sister-in-law Hua sighed, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Old Liu directly He ordered a coffin for his wife, and tied a paper man into the coffin as a corpse for the funeral, as if his wife was dead!
"No matter how wicked his wife is, he can't curse her to die. Everyone went to persuade Old Liu not to do things too badly, but he didn't say a word, and invited the mourner and the coffin bearer to hug his wife. I walked around the island with the black-and-white photos, and the paper money he scattered all over the road after a day... The few paper money that fell on me just now were left over from the funeral.
"After this nondescript funeral, the firework and firecracker store next to the paper-making shop moved. Maybe I thought the owner of the paper-making shop was too crazy."
At this time, a man with a square face poked his head out from upstairs and shouted loudly: "Mother, kid, stop chatting, the food is cold!"
In the quiet night, the hoarse male voice seemed particularly abrupt.
"Come on!" Mrs. Hua responded, and asked Yun Xubai with a smile: "Mr. Yun, can you stay for a meal?"
"Thank you, but I still have to go back to prepare lessons." There was something ominous following him, Yun Xubai didn't want to cause trouble for others.
Mrs. Hua smiled: "That's it, then wait a minute, I'll go get Guanyin water, the days are not good recently, take it back to drive away evil spirits."
[Is there any class representative who understands the plot line and can summarize it? ]
[Blindly guessing that the murderer is the owner of the paper making shop. He found out that his wife and Mr. Qi were having trouble, so he killed the dog and the couple in anger. Otherwise, why did he not call the police when his wife disappeared? He even held a funeral? ]
[It's a bit reasonable!But this is a level [-] dungeon, so the plot line might be too weak]
[Everyone, what Mrs. Hua said is just hearsay, not necessarily the truth!Can't believe it all! ]
[I feel that the story behind it is getting more and more complicated, and more and more people are involved. This is the beginning. I think there are other important characters that have not appeared]
[This small island is very closed, and has a unique folk culture, this copy should not be physical exorcism]
[I also saw a ghost flashing across the wall just now, besides Mr. Qi, are there other ghosts following the host? ]
[Friends, Teacher Qi died, and the proprietress of the paper-making shop who disappeared on the same day is also a disaster, right? Then Teacher Qi became a ghost, and the proprietress...]
When Yun Xubai returned to his residence with Guanyin water, he met two players.
The advantage of turning on the live broadcast is that for the convenience of the audience, the player list is directly announced in the live broadcast room, and Yun Xubai knows that they are players at a glance.
The three stood in the narrow and dark corridor and said hello. One of the players saw the light screen following Yun Xubai and smiled friendly, his star eyes bent into two crescents: "Are you also broadcasting live?"
Looking back, there was nothing.
Something is following them, Yun Xubai is sure.
And more than one.
There is no nightlife on the island, the residents rest early, there are only a few people on the street, and every house is closed. If it weren't for the voices of people from time to time in the lit room, Yun Xubai would have thought it was a deserted island.
